Chapter 55: The Connection Between the Past and the Future (17)

Bray, the god of wisdom who replaced the goddess of magic in the form of a human!

Humans and other species alike are more accustomed to another title that has been passed down for thousands of years - the Great Sage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Not to mention the reason why he interfered with mortal dust, in just a moment, there were already two gods in the Hall of Mirrors, which was about to lose its original role and become a human nobleman who transmitted news to each other.

The fluorescence dissipated, and what appeared in front of people's eyes was not the old man that everyone knew through books and magic props, but a human boy who was underage in terms of height and appearance, and his wide robes were loosely put on his body, making him look more and more thin, if it were not for the mark of the complex new magic god, he was just an ordinary person who would not make any impression.

The great sage Bard, who was present but had not said a word, bowed to his immediate superior, and his behavior was also the best proof.

"Indeed, the authority of the Child of Nature is taken by the pillars, but it is only an occasional overlapping cause of depravity, and it is considered the bottom line by mortal self-righteousness. The boy spoke, but the words he spoke were in an old male voice, which many people could hear, and it was the voice of Bray himself. Although there is no obvious maintenance, it is already pointed out in the words that he is in the same camp as Link. Thinking of Luo Leilai, who has just been expelled, I have to make people guess, this timing is really accurate!

As the current ruler of the mage, Bray's will naturally represented Hohenheim's position, but Francesca's frowning brow suddenly relaxed, and he was powerless to prevent the Four Pillars represented by Link from replacing the Dawn Sect to take over the material world and the dominant position in the alliance. Even if Dawn itself didn't care about this advantage, the sects and nobles under her command couldn't help it.

Unable to return to heaven......

Overwhelmed by despair, Francesca looked back at his youth, his clear eyes showing no joy of victory, only the calm of course.

Heh~ No one would have thought that the Otherworldly Lifeweaver who first came to Edgar could do this. He has the qualifications of a child of nature, no martial arts, no abilities, but he is such an ordinary mortal who has changed Edgar's fate one after another.

"You think you're doing the right thing?" was evident in the High Priest's voice, and the rebellion of Crumberg, elves, dwarves, and even the chaotic camp was not as frustrated as Bray's side. Although it is under the jurisdiction of the Pillar of Water, as a neutral god of magic, he controls the city of mages whose strength should not be underestimated, and he is also the only backbone of the alliance that can be compared to the Dawn Sect.

"None of the participants in this war will think that what they are doing is wrong. Link's answer was meaningful, and Neham's eyes darkened when Bray interrupted the question.

Yes, everyone believes that they are right...... This is the same for both men and gods......

"What's the use of arguing about right and wrong now? If we continue to grind like this, the undead will soon be ready to assemble and launch a new offensive. Bray was so special that no one dared to openly refute even if he did not agree with his words, and once again put the problem of whether to be an alliance in front of Francesca.

Neam looked eagerly at the old man who was also his father and teacher, unlike when Dawn was first expelled, the current alliance members joined the opposing camp of the Sun God, if you add the article of being in the company of evil, the high priest is really an unforgivable sin, and the entire sect, including the entire sect, will be marked as rebellious by Dawn.

"If the human race is unable to protect the territory under its jurisdiction, it is true that the Central Continent should be ceded, but ...... And that was after the victory in the war!"

"What does the high priest mean...... Link is a little unsure, what is Francesca trying to do? Fight with himself? Now that he has lost the favor of the gods, he doesn't want to die, not to mention that he has the power of the quadruple incarnation, even if other gods make him unable to defeat him.

"My lord has been banished by the law, and I cannot make a decision alone until I know his foreshadowing, but I can only ask you to fight as the high priest of the Dawn Sect. If I die, the Dawn Sect and its followers will withdraw from the Central Continent and go to a remote place until our Lord returns to the material realm, and whether or not to form an alliance will be decided by the gods. ā€

"Priest!" exclaimed Neum and Alysina at the same time, for they rarely used the honorific title of the Church in front of outsiders.

Link let go of his clasped hands.

That's the idea you've had from the beginning, Francesca. It not only gets rid of the difficult choice of whether to continue the alliance, but also avoids the dogma that Dawn does not associate with evil, and also allows believers to be completely removed from the humiliation of not being able to fight without divine favors. It was me who caused the expulsion, and I was the one who killed his followers, do you expect that after the return of Dawn, you will point the finger at me, the culprit, so as to spare the believers who don't know how many believers will be left by then......

"Link!" Neham begged, he didn't know Francesca's intentions, and it was because he understood that he was even more upset. There must be another way to avoid losing both. Pillar and Dawn are both the first generation, and for the world, they are important cornerstones that must not fight each other.

"This day will come sooner or later, but now it's just a little bit earlier, and it's up to me to decide, after all, I'm also part of this cause and effect. The time and place are up to you, and once you've decided, notify Bridge, and I'll go to the appointment. After staring at Francesca for a few moments through the magically crafted mirrors and enchantments, Link nodded slowly. Although helpless, this is the best solution at the moment.

The attendees, who witnessed the turning point in history, were amazed and admired by Francesca's decision, which will not be recorded in the history books of later generations, but will become a symbol of failure, etched in history, a shame that the Cult of Dawn does not want to be mentioned.

"Well, then, allow me to leave first. "The High Priest performed a simple Morning Dawn salute, both to Link and to all the participants in the Hall of Mirrors at this moment.

Almost at the same time, elves, dwarves, and humans saluted him, and even the night elves and orc representatives of the opposing faction bowed their heads in salutation as much as they could. Challenging the children of nature, who have four incarnations, is the equivalent of suicide, and this is their last meeting with the High Priest of Dawn, named Francesca.

Seeing that there was no room for change, Neham angrily left, and the mirror that he and Alicina had supported suddenly went black.

"Go on, in addition to redefining the alliance, we will also discuss how to deal with the offensive of the undead at any time, how many troops the delegates plan to send, and what countermeasures they will have. Link was not affected in the slightest, his gesture seemed to have taken over the position that the Dawn Sect and the High Priest should have in the Hall of Mirrors and the Material Realm. From then on, before the return of the sun god Elias, the strongest forces in the material world and the principals were changed to the Nature Sect and Link, which was the common idea of all the members who participated in the Hall of Mirrors.

"Priest!"

Ignoring the guards' obstruction, Neam pushed open the closed inner sanctum, only to see Francesca remove the perennial sun beads, triple crown and gold thread woven from his chest, and he looked like an ordinary old man in plain white.

Alysina, who arrived later, covered her mouth sadly when she saw this scene, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Why...... Do you have to take this step......" asked in a hoarse voice, and there was nowhere to vent Neam's sorrow.

"Although it is the gods who play chess, as a pawn, I am not decisive enough to create the current situation. If the moment he received the oracle, he had been removed by the divine punishment of eating the pillar, perhaps there would not be now. Dawn will not be expelled, and we believers will not be so depressed that we will take refuge in Nanyanzhou. But...... There are no ifs. Francesca said indifferently, and the anger of a moment ago could no longer be found in the vicissitudes of life. After making the final decision, he was completely liberated from hardship and anxiety, and his state of mind was unexpectedly peaceful.

"Priest, you ......"

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind. As Link said, this day will come sooner or later, but at this moment it is just ahead of time. Since it was a mistake made by me, I should bear it. When I'm dead......" Francesca put his hand on Neham's shoulder, "why are you still standing stupidly, kneeling." ā€

"No......" shook his head in pain, and Neam took a few steps back, intent on escaping the moment he least expected to come.

Francesca glanced at him, and Arisina immediately stepped forward, and the short staff with magical power was pressed against Neham's waist, and in a flash of lightning, the unsuspecting knight fell to the ground, and the muscles of the electric shock were weak to resist the old man who walked in front of him.

"You are my chosen successor, and you are doctrinal in character, morality, and faith, and I want you to revive the sect and not fail like my two predecessors, Julian. ā€

"Don't ...... The big war is coming, how can you ...... Didn't you already make an appointment with Link?"

"What a stupid thing, don't say that I have lost my divine favor, even at the peak of my youth, I can't compete with the children of nature with the power of the quadruple incarnation. ā€

"In that case, then why did you ...... in the Hall of Mirrors just now" Neam's words came to an abrupt end with Francesca's hand on his forehead, although he was gone, the process of succession would not be lost because of this, and the pain in his heart made him shiver, unable to say half a word.

"This is my last decency, as you say, he is indeed a good man, but it is a pity...... Your identities are not destined to be best friends. After a violent cough and wheezing, Francesca sat down beside Neume: "Accept my gift, sealed by the secret and divine seals of the sect that have been passed down from generation to generation by the high priests. Be sure to get rid of the Deadrider Lord, Julian...... No, Cybrion knows too many of my sect's secrets to let him live. The Last ...... of the Last"

The voice of urging faded as Alysina knelt before the new High Priest, and Neum grasped Francesca's wrist firmly before he fell unconscious, but felt only that the great hand, which had been incomparably powerful and capable of carrying all hardships and disasters, was like grit in his palm, weathering and disappearing.
