Chapter 829: The Will of the Divine Crystal
"No problem. Edward agreed without hesitation, much to the surprise www.biquge.info of King Regis.
In his opinion, Edward's path of light was the most suitable for the kingdom of Lucis. The members of the royal family of Lucis, who have been close to the Holy Crystal for many years, have some divine temperament in him, and although his son Noctis still looks a little immature now, Regis believes that if he embarks on the path of the Holy Light, his future achievements will be immeasurable.
If it weren't for the fact that he was already old and busy with state affairs, he would have wanted to take this path himself.
"In addition to Prince Noctis and his three companions, as well as the Knicks team of the Sword of Kings, there is one more person who can also become my disciple. Edward said, looking at Luna Freya.
Regis and the others were stunned when they heard this, and they all looked surprised. Luna Freya was about to speak, but she didn't expect Edward to take the initiative to mention her, and her heart jumped.
Noctis finally had a little light in his cold expression, and looked at his fiancΓ©e happily, but King Regis frowned slightly.
"Edward, although Luna is a shrine maiden of the gods who purify the power of the world, and she can summon magic a little, she is actually an ordinary person......"
"Your Majesty, although the Kingdom of Lucis holds the Divine Crystal, I think you are too wasteful to say a polite word. Edward raised his hand to interrupt King Regis's words, and motioned with his eyes for Luna Freya not to speak, "In my opinion, the Divine Crystal is a condensation of divine power, and it is actually the same principle as Eben Spell and Shin. β
"Don't be too busy retorting, just listen to what I'm saying. β
Edward glanced at the astonished crowd and explained, "The difference between the Divine Crystal and Xin, in addition to the fundamental difference in the power that condenses it, is also very different in its output. β
"That's right, most of the condensations of great power need to release some of their strength. This is just like people, the battle level has not been reached, even the great power cannot be held for a long time, and it must be radiated to ensure that it is not overwhelmed by the power. β
"Xin's way of producing is constant destruction, and the way the Divine Crystal is produced is up to you. β
"But what have you done in all these years, either by setting up enchantments to passively protect Insomonia, or by depositing its power in the hands of the ancestral kings, or by giving your men the power of magic?"
"In my opinion, these methods are extremely unreliable. The Divine Crystal is the condensation of everyone's beliefs, and magic is only the power attached to it, and you ignore its true power and use its subsidiary power to enhance the strength of the Lucis Kingdom, isn't it a waste?"
At this point, Edward paused, giving everyone time to think.
"You're saying that the power of the Holy Crystal's light is its root?" King Regis asked with bright eyes after a moment of serious thought.
"That's right, the Light is its root, and the power of the Light is one of the easiest powers to give, which is why you are able to give its subordinate power so easily to your men, which also gives you the wrong understanding that magic is the power of the Divine Crystal, but uses its true power to form the Ensomonia barrier. β
"In my Demon Hunter's philosophy, justice is definitely not this kind of passive defense, waiting for the evil forces to spread around the world, and finally invade here before they can fight back. Only justice that takes the initiative is the most solid. β
"That's why I founded the Knights of the Demon Hunters. β
The high-ranking people of the Lucis Kingdom looked at each other, they could never have imagined that Insomonia, which was made impossible to attack from the outside, was so unbearable in Edward's mouth, and he was also blamed.
"But I don't know how to use the Light......," Regis said helplessly, "and there is no such thing in the ancestral lineage. β
"That's why I'm going to take Luna Freya as a disciple. Edward laughed, "My eyes can tell that the best person among them to learn more about the Light is not Prince Noctis, but Luna Freya, the witch of Nagi who is bent on purifying the power of the Skeleton." β
As soon as Edward said this, the higher-ups of the Lucis Kingdom looked at Luna Freya in surprise, and at the same time, they were a little reluctant to accept Edward's statement.
"Edward, what do you want, just say it. King Regis saw Edward's willingness to recruit disciples.
"My purpose is simple, I want to leave a pure land of justice in this world after the departure of our Demon Hunter Knights, and the Kingdom of Lucis is the target I have found. β
Regis and the others looked at each other, watching Edward wait for him to continue.
"People are selfish, and we Demon Hunter Knights are no exception. And the driving force that motivates us to constantly travel through the world, to help others and to destroy evil, is our heart of faith. β
"The main reason why we Demon Hunter Knights can not be fooled by profit is because we have a strong heart of faith. The main source of the desire to make the heart of faith strong is people's gratitude, reverence, and their happy smiles. β
It dawned on everyone that some of them had been suspicious of the motives of the Demon Hunter Knights for going to war without asking for anything in return, and now it seemed that Edward's explanation sounded a little reasonable, and it could also explain why a strong man like Edward would help them at any cost, and it turned out that their reward was people's gratitude.
To them, this is a bit incredible, and in the eyes of many people with the highest interests, this kind of reward is simply ridiculous.
But King Regis understands Edward a little, he is the master of the Sacred Crystal, and being under the Divine Crystal for many years allows him to understand Edward's statement better.
"If Mr. Edward wants to use the holy light power of the Divine Crystal to strengthen the Lucis Kingdom, will the Divine Crystal be unable to withstand it?"
"On this subject, all I can say is that this gentleman is underestimating the Sacred Crystal. Edward smiled and said, "Since the Divine Crystal has been able to exist for so long, it actually has its own will. It will choose, it will refuse, and it will rebel. It...... She is like a human being, who chooses King Regis as her spokesperson in order to gain a steady stream of divine power in the same way that we of the Demon Hunter Knights. β
Some sneered, others shook their heads and laughed, but Edward ignored them: "If you don't believe me, Your Majesty, you can ask for feedback from the Divine Crystal, and I think she will give you a satisfactory answer." β
Regis glanced at it, his eyes closed at random, his hands folded and began to pray.
To everyone's surprise, a strong holy light suddenly rushed from the position of the sacred crystal and shrouded King Regis's body!
