Chapter 44: The Boring Pursuit
Hearing Murry's words, Salia was a little surprised: "You mean to say that Viscount Lane's strength can't withstand the imperial army?"
Murray nodded and replied very bluntly: "Naturally, I can't resist it, otherwise do you think with Viscount Lane's temper, he will make so many concessions to cooperate with me?"
Salia was really surprised, feeling that things were a little incredible, originally in Salia's opinion, even though Viscount Lane's strength was not as good as those dukes and marquises, but at least in the Sun Empire, he was also a figure on the side, in terms of the area of his territory, I am afraid that he would not even lose to some small counts in the empire.
But judging from Murray's words, it seems that Viscount Lane is not as powerful as it seems on the surface.
Seeing Saria's surprised expression, Murray continued: "On the surface, Viscount Lane's strength is very strong, even comparable to the power of some marquises. ”
"But after all, he is only a viscount, even if he has great achievements in war and has a large territory, but the power in his hands is still limited. ”
"The most important thing is that although he is a staunch industrial party, you can also see that he does not actually have much industrial technical support. ”
"In other words, the dragon people who really stayed in your west at the beginning are all in the hands of the empire, which is also the basis for the royal family to be able to compete with the Holy See. ”
"Without enough power and mechanical support, why do you think Viscount Ryan can resist the Imperial army now equipped with mechanical weapons?"
"So what do you mean?" said Salia, who felt a little frightened, that things had changed unexpectedly.
Murray said unusually calmly: "Actually, everything Viscount Lane is doing now is just bluffing, and his own strength is not strong. ”
The witch narrowed her eyes and muttered like a cunning cat, "Bluffing? ”
Hearing the witch's words, Murray immediately said, "Actually, it's not that you chose the wrong place, but that some people forced you to come here. ”
"Someone forced me here?" stunned for a moment, then Saria exclaimed, "No, it can't be. ”
Murray still calmly asked, "Why is it impossible? Don't you think that your escape was actually an elaborate conspiracy?"
In fact, this sentence has always haunted Salia's heart, but Salia doesn't want to admit it, but now that Murray said it bluntly, it made Salia completely relaxed, and her tense heart suddenly relaxed, and she breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Actually, I know very well in my heart that I can escape because I have already made arrangements." ”
Once this knot is untied, everything seems to be solved, and the places that were originally unfigured out suddenly become clear.
For Saria, who are witches, their existence is not a secret in the Empire, but it has always been regarded as a calamity.
Witches will bring calamity to the Empire, and witches are people who serve regional demons, and this rumor has long since spread with the spread of the Sun God Cult and has become the only impression of witches in the minds of everyone in the entire West.
However, in order to gain dominance and balance the divine power of the Holy See, the royal family of the empire had to secretly support the witch.
Even the most ridiculous thing is that the empress of each generation of the Sun Emperor is actually a witch who has been baptized by the Sun Church.
It is in this gap that the witch exists in the Sun Empire and in the entire Western world.
In fact, every witch will be strictly monitored from birth and placed under house arrest in a beautiful forbidden area.
It is the ideal place for witches, but at the same time, it is also the shackles of witches, and they cannot go out without permission to live forever.
But all living beings yearn for freedom, and for those who have independent consciousness, they want to be free.
The witch in the forbidden land also yearns for the outside life in her heart, hoping to get the freedom and tranquility that ordinary people should have.
However, it is a pity that freedom is too far away for witches, and many witches can only live and die in the forbidden land for the rest of their lives.
With a solemn expression, Saria looked up at the gray night sky above her and said, "You know what? ”
"So the moment I escaped, I didn't think much about anything, I just wanted to get away from that forbidden place, away from everything. ”
Saria lowered her head and turned her head to look at Mori beside her: "It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, I still can't escape the shackles of fate." ”
"Actually, from that night, when Cortro appeared, I realized that I had escaped and appeared here because I had probably been arranged a long time ago. ”
"The reason why the Royal Family of the Sun Empire let me out is to draw the Holy See's attention here, and want to use me to break the peace here. ”
Speaking of this, the corners of Salia's mouth rose slightly, and an elegant smile appeared: "Just because I am a witch, my appearance represents calamity." ”
Yes, a representative of the Calamity Witch appeared, then the Viscount of Lane would no longer be at peace, and then some names would be pinned on the head of Viscount Lane, then the armies of the Empire and the Holy See could justifiably be stationed in the Viscountdom.
Murray looked up at the gray night sky above his head and sighed: "It seems that the empire and the Holy See can't wait to sweep away the entire West, gather all their forces to conquer the East again, go to the Dragon Kingdom that once made them suffer defeat, want to enter the Dragon Kingdom, and seize what they desire, but unfortunately, what they desire, the Dragon Kingdom does not have." ”
Salia turned to look at Murray and asked curiously, "You know, what are they trying to find?"
Murry smiled and nodded: "Naturally, I know, but the thing they want to get is just a legend in the Dragon Kingdom." ”
Saria continued, "What exactly do they want, and why do they have to look for it, if it's not sure it exists?"
Murray sighed ominously, "I don't understand, why do those old guys have to look for that kind of ethereal thing?"
Hearing the words "ethereal", Salia had actually understood, knowing what the hell those guys in the Empire and the Holy See wanted?
Even as witches, they are born with powerful magical powers, and that thing is full of temptation for them, and that is "eternal life".
Thinking of the key, Saria sighed, "Well, it looks like a bunch of boring guys. ”
Murray also nodded: "Yes, there must always be some pursuits in life, otherwise life will be too boring, even if those pursuits seem to be boring." ”
Salia suddenly turned her head to stare at Murray and asked, "So what is your pursuit?"
"Me?" Murray replied with a smile as she looked at Saria, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "My quest is simple, I just want to see the dragons of our dragon kingdom. ”
