Chapter 21: The Secret War
"Questions? Tell me about your logic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Cassius leaned back in his chair with interest, waiting for Xia Yu's speech.
Xia Yu crossed his hands in front of his chest and began his statement unhurriedly:
"First of all, the Explorers' Association has always been far away from political strife since ancient times, so there is no essential conflict of interest between the Fire Protector and the Explorers' Association, and this kind of tense situation is extremely abnormal at first glance. ”
"Secondly, since the Fire Protector Holy See has entrusted the Violet Family to participate in this game, I tried to imagine what Mondo can bring to the Fire Protector Holy See. ”
"Fame? can't be, it's a sneaky commission, obviously not for fame. Since it's not for fame, it's only for profit, you just said that Mondo is a mercenary person, only it is possible that the Fire Protector Holy See has promised him great benefits, and the Holy See can only exchange for one thing - a magic card as a champion reward. ”
The excitement on Cassius' face grew, "Go on." ”
"I suspect that this magic card as a prize for this contest was itself intentional by the Explorers Guild. In order to lure the Fire Protector into the game. But you have placed so many players in the competition with great fanfare, and you obviously don't want this magic card to fall into the hands of the Fire Protector Sect. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Yu let go of his arms and propped his hands on Cassius's desk, and the black cat that Siv had transformed into also jumped from the floor and stayed on Xia Yu's right hand, his eyes widening.
"So, Cassius, you have to tell me, what is this magic card?"
"Wonderful!
Cassius slapped his palms in surprise and smiled, "It seems that the game we are doing is not clever at all, even any outsider can see it." Or are you really from the shadows?"
"I swear by the source fire that burns in my soul, I do not belong to the Dark Division, nor do I belong to the Fire Protector Sect, dispel your concerns, old fox!"
Xia Yu heard his vigilance from Cassius's words, and gritted his teeth and swore an oath of origin.
"The oath of the source fire! Yes, yes, the beauty is really a lover, then I will save a lot of trouble, and I will make it clear to you openly and honestly. ”
Cassius's tone was full of appreciation, he could see that Xia Yu was a smart person, but also a simple person, such a person, Cassius liked very much.
"You're right, the problem is indeed with that magic card, you'd better be patient and listen to me, about the origin of this magic card......"
More than three months ago, the Explorers' Guild sent a team of explorers to the ruined ancient city, and on the outskirts of the ancient city, they accidentally discovered an ancient burial mound.
After several days of hard work, the exploration team finally turned the entire mound upside down, and finally unearthed a dehydrated dry corpse, which was a man, judging by the various weapons that his burial goods were carved in stone, this man must have been a brave warrior in his life.
And in the hands of the dry corpse, he held a magic card that had been sleeping for thousands of years, still glowing with full source energy.
After a brief test, the expedition determined that it was a rare field card, so they didn't pay much attention to it, and then they were besieged by the living corpses of the ruined ancient city, and had to retreat to the Explorers' Guild headquarters in the Immortal City.
This magic card, as the only trophy of the trip, was only focused on research.
However, as the research deepened, this magic card began to reveal more and more doubts.
First, after testing, the source energy possessed by the magic card is only about 1500 points, which is extremely abnormal for a rare card.
Second, if someone activates this magic card, the source energy to be paid becomes 3,000 points, and then a problem is placed in front of everyone's eyes:
Where was the 1,500 points of source energy used?
Thirdly, the scenes shown in the field magic cards are usually the memories left in the soul of the soul beast, and they should be well documented in the real world.
But this card is very different, it summons a black dense forest, and not a single tree in this dense forest has never appeared in any area of the Divine Blessed Continent.
Based on these three points, the Explorers Guild struggled for a long time before making a bold guess:
Only half of this magic card exists in our world, and the other half exists in other worlds.
"How is this possible? Is there any other world besides the Divine Blessed Continent?"
Hearing this, Xia Yu's mouth grew, he had never heard of such an argument. In the doctrine of the Holy See, otherworldism is an absolute heresy, and to admit the otherworld, it is like acknowledging the fact that there is more than one God.
"Hmph, those bastards of the Holy See, after knowing the existence of this magic card, did not make a big deal of it, but secretly bribed several traitors of the association, intending to steal this magic card from us by despicable means!"
Cassius gritted his teeth and said, "Fortunately, they showed their feet, and this conspiracy was strangled in the cradle in time, but because of the blessing of disguise, we also understand the fact that our speculation is very likely to be true." ”
Xia Yu very much agreed with Cassius's statement, if he looked at the consistent style of the Fire Protector Sect, if he knew about the existence of this magic card, he would definitely use this matter to openly put pressure on the Explorers Association.
But instead of doing so, they chose a low-key approach, which only proves that:
The Fire Protector is afraid, afraid of the present world of this card, and wants to bury it quietly in the dark.
"However, unfortunately, we have no way to trigger the true power of this magic card despite all our efforts. I'm afraid that only humans in the First Fire Era can use this magic card freely. ”
"Real ability?...... are you talking about" Xia Yu faintly sensed the part that Cassius didn't explain.
Half in another world, half in the Divine Blessed Continent......
"Portal!?"
Cassius was once again surprised by Xia Yu's acuity, he made a silent gesture, and used the power of the source fire to write three large characters on the paper:
Piercing Gate.
"The Explorers' Guild knows a lot more than you do, a term that has been mentioned in several fragments of books, and until three months ago we thought it was a myth. ”
"So, you're holding this conference to further confirm your suspicions?"
"Not only that, but we have reason to suspect that the Fire Guardian Holy See has already mastered the true use of this magic card, and the more they crave this card, the more it proves this fact. ”
Xia Yu fell into deep thought, Cassius was right, in fact, the Explorers Guild had no reason to publish this information in the first place, which would only cause tension between them and the Holy See.
However, the Holy See's abnormal methods and desires are particularly strange, and they even bite the bait cast by the Explorers' Guild without hesitation.
At this time, Xia Yu remembered a message that Mu Yun had revealed to him.
Xinghuang, one of the ten blades, will come in the final.
Xia Yu raised his head suddenly, looked at Cassius, and from his unruly eyes, Xia Yu read two words: Battle Intent!
That's right, it's the will to fight!
Obviously, the small actions of the Fire Protection Holy See have angered the Explorers Guild, and this game is a war that is going on in secret, and whoever wins this dark war in the Holy See or the Explorers Association means that a bigger war will be ignited.
"It's ...... War book?" Thinking of this, Xia Yu muttered to himself with an incredible expression.
"It's the war book! The royal family has declined, and the Holy See can no longer be allowed to do whatever it wants on this continent, and their hands have been stretched too long all these years!"
Cassius clenched his fist and slammed it into his desk in anger, the massive power of the source fire in his body staining the office a fiery red.
"This war can only be successful, not defeated!"
