Chapter Eighty-Nine: The King
Edge wanted to know about the parchment scroll anyway, though he was warned by old Cod not to touch it. But many people just die of curiosity, he is not afraid of death, just to know the secret of the sheepskin scroll.
So he pestered Old Kod for a long time. Old Cord finally couldn't take it anymore, and dragged him into his private room, and told him something about the Adora, the ancient and powerful race that had tried to defy the sky.
Since the Erdora tribe is mentioned, then the most amazing secret of the Erdora tribe, alchemy, is naturally known to Aegie.
When he heard that alchemy could create something else through the principle of equivalent exchange, Age's whole heart trembled at it! It was possible to create objects?!Is there such a wonderful and great arcane in the world? If so, wouldn't having alchemy be equivalent to having the power of a god?
Just as the Adora people used alchemy to create false gods, if alchemy is more perfect on this basis, can it be possible to create complete gods through the godhead? If it can really be done to this point, alchemy is equivalent to breaking the laws of nature. Creating a new world, then, is not a dream.
There is no doubt that alchemy is an arcane art that subverts common sense. Although its form is somewhat similar to summoning, it is far from being comparable to the summoning technique that is based on spatial magic and derived from the form of spatial pulling.
"Boy, forget all the things about the Erdora in your head!Hurry back and sleep, and when you open your eyes tomorrow, you must act as if today's events have not happened!" Seeing the interest in alchemy in Age's eyes, Old Kod was very worried, and never talked about the Odora tribe again, and warned Age again and again not to get caught up in alchemy.
But how could Edge easily forget about alchemy. Not only did he not forget, but a wave of desire arose. He wants to acquire alchemy and use it to recover the Kenos Empire and usher in a new era.
Of course, the idea of such an ambition that he came up with would not be revealed in front of old Kode. He didn't want to be nagged by Old Kod, so he promised Old Kod that he would not explore alchemy again. Since alchemy is such a forbidden thing for the Holy See, why do you have to go against the Holy See at your own end!
Old Kod thought he had enlightened, and after getting his promise, he believed him. He then led Edge out of his private room and back to the guild desk. Aegie said goodbye, never mentioning the Odoras or alchemy. But what he was thinking in his heart, only he knew best.
When he heard the mysteries of alchemy, he seemed to have an instant idea of what route he should take after returning to the Kenos Empire. If you are skilled in alchemy, you can use the Demon Crystal Nucleus to create an army of Warcraft. If it is a Warcraft army, there is no need to worry that the army will be implicated, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by the Light Divine Dragon. The Warcraft army is controlled by itself, and it can also drive out foreign enemies.
In this way, wouldn't alchemy be able to solve the situation he would face when he returned to the Kenos Empire?
It was with this in mind that Age's thirst for alchemy became more and more intense. But even so, old Kode's advice should not be taken as a deaf ear. In the world of the Eastern Continent today, no one dares to arrogantly oppose the Holy See.
Moreover, alchemy is not only a forbidden thing for the Holy See, but also a great arcane art that only appeared thousands of years ago during the Battle of the Great Heroic Soul. To this day, almost no one remembers it. Maybe it's gone completely, and where can you still learn it.
Like an extinct creature, alchemy no longer exists in this world.
But even so, Edge wanted to give it a try, and what if she could really find alchemy again and learn it?
Before tracking down alchemy, Aegie knew that he had to fully understand the contents of the parchment scroll. But given Old Kode's attitude towards alchemy, it is estimated that even if he recognized the ancient words on the parchment scroll, he would not have translated it for Age. For this, Aegie thought of another person: Murrihan.
The sheepskin scroll was obtained by Giroud from Murrihan, so Murrihan must have known what was written on the sheepskin scroll. If you want to know what is on the parchment scroll, you can go to Merrihan. Of course, he didn't go to Murrihan to ask him directly, but to "temporarily borrow" some reference books from his lab.
Edge believed that in the laboratory of Murrayhan, the court sage, there must have been a text about the writing on the parchment scroll. As a learned sage, he was surrounded by thousands of references, all prepared for research. It can be said that the life of a sage is not easy.
In one of the palace's gardens, McCaromben stood quietly with his eyes closed. But suddenly, a golden bird flew down from above, and the bird landed in front of him. When he saw it, he stretched out his hand and touched it, and suddenly the bird turned into a few wisps of golden light, and words flowed on the golden light.
This is a secret letter from the Holy See. This magical letter, powered by high-level spatial magic, is a common way for the Holy See to send orders. And only a few people can use this kind of cipher. Because the requirements for space magic letters are very high, it is not ordinary space magic that can be condensed.
McCarron's eyes narrowed when he received the magical letter from the Holy See, and he turned to leave, heading straight for one place: Murrihan's underground laboratory.
Murrihan was also the one who knew the deeds of the Adora people. This fact is briefly described in the Magic Epistles. The Holy See's meaning is clear, McCarron must obliterate Murrihan. Now he was going to kill Murrihan.
It's almost a week since the last court ball. For the course of a week, McCarron didn't make a move on Kate. The reason is not that he doesn't want to attack Kate, but that he doesn't have a chance.
Most people, including Edge and Kate, thought that Sain was the mastermind behind the attempt to kill Kate. After Sain's death, they all let their guard down, believing that Kate was safe. But some people don't think so. Sain's case involved a lot of suspicions. Including why a prince of Sain has a dark weapon like the Armor of Sin.
For these matters, the royal family has asked the court to investigate. But none of these are the things that prevent McCarron from obliterating Kate, the real reason that hinders him is actually the king.
The king, Ruf Renatia, a great king and ruler of the kingdom of Relia, gives the impression of being as strong as Aegie sees, exuding a super-powerful aura in the midst of mystery. He did not appear in the public eye, only because he stood in a high hall, out of the reach of the people.
King Ruff was not in vain, and he saw it at the court ball that day. No one would doubt McCarron, but he was most suspicious of McCarron. From McCarron's sudden visit to the coincidence at the ball, he doesn't think McCarron isn't suspicious.
As for Kate's assassination, he is not as unconcerned as people from the outside see. This is impossible, he has high hopes for Kate, how can he not ask the slightest question about Kate's assassination. It is precisely his secret actions that make people feel the most terrible. Because everything that has happened recently is quietly in the hands of him, the man who is dormant behind him.
In fact, as the ruler of the Kingdom of Relia, Luffy has a good relationship with the Holy See. And he is also one of the four light executors of the Holy See in the Church, and his status and strength are self-evident. He had always been aware of the movements of the church. But this time, the plan of protest, called "Free Body", was secretly proposed by the Pope, and no one except the priests close to the Pope knew about it.
When Luff was suspicious of McCarron, he never thought that McCarron was on the orders of the Holy See to kill Kate.
This is also normal, presumably without knowing the "Free Body" struggle plan, no one will suspect that the Holy See wants to erase a royal princess. There is no reason at all, killing a princess of a country inexplicably, if it causes a national riot, it is not a good thing for the Holy See.
Although the domination of the Holy See is absolute, a wise king like Ruffy is not a puppet, and he will never allow his beloved daughter to be killed inexplicably. Even if a conviction is to be convicted, there needs to be a reasonable reason.
For this reason, after the commotion at the ball, Luffy spoke to McCarron. During the conversation, he deliberately revealed some of his love for Kate and his attitude towards Kate's assassination. If anyone dares to mess with Kate, he will never show mercy, no matter who that person is!
McCaron is an old man, and it is impossible for Luffy to reveal this information without seeing Luffy's determination. And Luffy is one of the four light executors of the church in the Holy See, and he is an inspector of the outer church, so he naturally does not dare to be too arrogant.
In fact, if McCaron had not arrived in the name of the Holy See, Luffy could have ignored him. But there are rules in the Holy See that those in power in the state can only act in one capacity. If you are a king, you cannot be an executor of light, and if you are an executor of light, you cannot be a king. The purpose of such a stipulation is to take a strict stance, otherwise the lack of separation between public and private will affect the prestige of the Holy See.
Luffy acted in the capacity of the king, so the role of the executor of the light of the inner church played a small role, and it was stipulated that he would be polite to McCaron, who came on behalf of the Holy See. But even so, the identity of the light executor of the Church of Loufne still plays a potential role, and McCarron definitely does not dare to be too presumptuous in front of him.
Invisibly suppressed by Luffy, McCarron did not dare to rashly attack Kate. Either he would deploy a plan to assassinate Kate again by borrowing a knife to kill people. Either declare it to the Holy See and let the Holy See make a decision.
McCaron was secretly suppressed by King Luff, which is the reason why Kate has not been assassinated recently.
She has the protection of the king.
Aegie didn't know about McCaron, and now he was bent on returning to the Kenos Empire. After learning about the alchemy of the Adora tribe, he wanted to learn more about it before returning to the Kenos Empire. This undoubtedly shows his intentions, if there is really alchemy, he must get it.
