Chapter 68: Prophecy

"Boy, you're forcing me to betray the royal family!" After Lennon left, Baron Cook looked at Luo Sheng and said with a wry smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although after weighing the pros and cons, Baron Cook accepted the agreement to join forces with the Nine Rings White Tower, but his heart was actually quite tangled. After all, in the traditional sense, the Elson Kingdom and the White Tower of the Nine Rings are not cars running on the same road. Cooperating with the Nine Rings White Tower, in a sense, actually has a hint of betrayal of the Elson royal family.

"Lord Baron, this is not a betrayal of the royal family, but a rescue of the Kingdom of Elson. If there is no Nine Rings White Tower, I am afraid that we will have a hard time going to this level, and then the royal family may also fall under the control of the Holy See of Light. Moreover, the situation on the continent of Ymir is about to change greatly, and a little flexibility is not a bad thing for the Elson royal family. In the face of Baron Cook's accusation, Luo Sheng did not panic in the slightest, and still replied slowly.

Luo Sheng knew very well in his heart that the main reason why Baron Cook was entangled was that the relationship between the Elson royal family and the Nine Rings White Tower was very delicate. From a more macro point of view, these two actually belong to different forces.

After the Battle of Twilight, excluding the elves, dwarves, and orcs, the human forces in the entire Imir Continent were roughly divided into three forces: the Holy See of Light, the Alliance of Human Kingdoms, or the Alliance of the Gods, and the remnants of the Arcane Empire.

Although the Bright Sect was defeated at the beginning, it also retained its own basic plate. They control the Sanctuary of Light and several affiliated cults, occupying the Anointed Lands on the western side of the Dragonspine Mountains. Although facing the pressure of orcs and some Northland barbarians, it is strong in itself, and it can be called united internally, and after recovering its vitality, it has been in a state of expansion, and has gradually become the largest force in the continent again.

Originally, among these three forces, the most powerful was the Human Kingdom Alliance led by the Marigold Empire. This alliance united most of the human kingdoms on the eastern side of the Dragonspine Mountains, forming a large and loose alliance linked by royal marriages and the cooperation of the Church of the Gods. The Kingdom of Elson is one of those who are part of this alliance.

However, although the overall strength of this alliance seems to be the strongest, the cohesion is quite poor, and there are many contradictions between the various kingdoms within it, and there have even been many small wars to destroy the country. Especially after the strength of the Marigold Empire, which is the leader of the alliance, declined and the Perburg Kingdom rose strongly, the entire alliance became a scattered sand. Under the internal friction, the strength has gradually deteriorated to the Bright Sect.

It is precisely because of this that the Human Kingdom Alliance has little power to stop the Light Sect's secret erosion of various small kingdoms, so it can only passively resist and turn a blind eye. And this is also the main reason why the Elson royal family can only compromise in the face of the gradual erosion of the Holy See of Light. After all, without the support of the eldest brother behind his back, a small country like Elson, which is not strong, would not dare to tear its face with the Holy See of Light.

And the last force is the remnants of the Arcane Empire, which is composed of the White Tower of the Nine Rings in the Northlands, the Arcane Federation in the South, and the Isle of the Dead in the Black Cloud Sea. These forces all have considerable ties to the fallen Arcane Empire, and they are all dominated by spellcasters, basically using parliaments and city-states under their rule, and they don't like the church of the gods very much.

Because of historical, religious, political system and other reasons, whether it is the Holy See of Light or the Human Kingdom Alliance, they all faintly reject the remnants of these arcane empires. If it weren't for the fact that these forces all had cards that were enough to subvert the situation on the entire continent, and had not made a big expansion, the other human forces would have formed a coalition and launched a crusade against them.

However, even if there is no real war, the guard and estrangement between the two sides are real. Even the most enlightened and orderly Nine-Ring White Tower in the remaining veins of the Arcane Empire can only use various alchemy items, magical equipment, and the Northland countries and some kingdoms in the middle to establish some trade relations, and its real influence has always been limited to the city-states of the Northland and the sea under its control.

It is precisely for this reason that Baron Cook will hesitate to cooperate with the Nine Rings White Tower. After all, once you agree to this cooperation, it is actually equivalent to transgressing your responsibilities and introducing the power of the Nine Rings White Tower into the Elson Kingdom for the Elson royal family.

And if this operation is really successful, in order to avoid the big report of the Holy See of Light, the Kingdom of Elson must take the initiative to introduce the power of the Nine Rings White Pagoda into the country whether they want it or not, in order to resist the pressure of the Holy See of Light. In this case, it is difficult to say how the royal family of Elson views Baron Cook, a courtier who forced the kingdom to turn around, betrayed the alliance of human nations, and took refuge in the White Tower of the Nine Rings.

If it was a wiser king, he might have encircled Baron Cook to keep the situation stable. If you change it to a more mediocre one, I'm afraid you will directly regard Baron Cook as a rebel. And for Baron Cook, who has been loyal to the royal family of Elson for generations, forcing the royal family to make a choice is already a sign of disloyalty. If it is regarded as a rebellion by the royal family again, it will really be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors.

However, in Luo Sheng's opinion, these are actually not a problem. A small country like the Elson Kingdom, which is not strong but has a very important location, must find a backer to support. Now that the Alliance of Human Nations is powerless to support, choosing the Nine Rings White Tower to fight against the Holy See of Light is actually an inevitable choice. After all, it is much better to let the Nine Rings White Tower expand its influence than for the entire kingdom to become a puppet of the Holy See of Light.

"The great changes in Ymir are coming? Is this the revelation you got from the Divine Revelation of Nature? What do you see?"

After a moment of silence, Baron Cook did not dwell on the previous topic anymore, but asked Rasen's views on the future with a solemn expression. After all, it can be seen from Luo Sheng's various performances that Luo Sheng has a clear judgment about the future. And this kind of judgment cannot come from a boy who is just sixteen years old, but can only come from the legendary mysterious natural revelation.

"If I say that I saw the arrival of the fourth demon tide, do you believe it, Lord Baron?" Luo Sheng sighed and said lightly.

For Luo Sheng at this stage, Baron Cook is the most powerful and solid backer, and the most powerful lever for Luo Sheng to leverage the overall situation. For a long time in the future, Luo Sheng needs the support and help of the other party. So Rawson didn't mind revealing more information about the future to Baron Cook.

"Is it the fourth magic tide, it's really a super big change!" Hearing Luo Sheng's answer, Baron Cook was shocked, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile.

As a figure who has set foot in the upper echelons of the entire continent, although Baron Cook is not a scholar or a spellcaster, he still understands the concept of the magic tide. In fact, as long as there is some inheritance, it is impossible for people who know history not to know the magic tide. After all, in the history of the Ymir Continent, the Demon Tide has completely changed several eras. The division of each era is also closely related to the Demon Tide.

The so-called magic tide actually contains two meanings. One is the wave of magic. Every time the demon tide rises, the concentration of magic power in the Ymir continent will increase, and the power of the law will also loosen.

And this loosening will cause two changes, one is that it is easier for professionals to be promoted to higher levels. In particular, the difficulty of Advanced Legendary and Advanced Immortal will be weakened during the Demon Tide, and the power of the intelligent race will be greatly increased. The other is that the power of the gods will be more easily channeled to the main plane, greatly increasing the influence of the gods. Therefore, in the era of the rising tide of demons, the influence of the Church of the Gods will also be greatly enhanced.

Another meaning of the demon tide is the tide of demons and devils. When the laws of the Ymir Continent are loosened, the spatial barriers of the Abyss and Hell and the Ymir Continent will also become fragile. When this change reaches a certain level, demons and demons can invade the Imir continent through the means of spatial leaping, forming a demonic plague like a tide.

In history, the Ymir Continent has suffered three demon tides and three demon disasters. The first demonic invasion ended the domination of the continent by the Dragons and the Dragonborn Empire, and also severely damaged the dragonborn gods, ending the first era of the ancient era.

The second demon tide pushed the elven empire from the position of the ruler of the continent, the god of nature, the father of oak sacrificed himself to end the demon disaster, and the elves retreated to the elf island. At the same time, it also announced the end of the Second Age and the beginning of the Third Age in history.

The third magic tide represents the collapse of the arcane empire that represents the peak power of mankind, and mankind has entered a dark calendar of deep suffering. After struggling, he regained his foothold and entered the current pioneering calendar.

It can be said that every time the demon tide rises, it is a danger and opportunity for the entire Imir Continent, and it is also the biggest change. In this kind of change, someone can reach the top and even become a god on the high. But there are also people, families, kingdoms, and even races that are completely destroyed.

"Why did the demon tide come so quickly this time?" Baron Cook continued to ask after digesting the shock in his heart.

Generally speaking, the interval between the magic tide and the magic tide is measured in 10,000 years. Although there is a tendency to get shorter and shorter, it is not so much faster all at once. You know, at this time, it was less than three thousand years before the fall of the Arcane Empire.

"The last wave of magic has not completely subsided, it has only been forcibly interrupted. Now that the Arcane Emperor's seal has expired, the tide of demons has risen again. Luo Sheng said with a sigh.

The situation of the Third Demon Tide was very complicated, and Luo Sheng was not able to find out completely in his previous life, but it was certain that the Arcane Empire should have been able to fight against the Demon Plague and protect the Ymir Continent. However, due to the participation of some gods, the final success failed, and the demon tide could only be temporarily interrupted to gain a buffer for humans. Therefore, strictly speaking, the fourth magic tide is actually a continuation of the third magic tide, and this time the Ymir Continent is only facing the unfinished tasks of the Arcane Empire.

"Will the world be destroyed?" continued Baron Cook.

"I don't know. Luo Sheng shook his head, and then said with a firm expression: "But I will do my best not to let that worst fate befall me." ”

"It's also said that the fate of the future still depends on yourself. Baron Cook patted Rason on the shoulder, a confident smile on his face again.
