Chapter 195: Cornelius
This chapter is a reward for the book friends of "Double Cultivation World".
========
Cornelius, the word in Tuhrman, has several meanings, such as supreme kingship, such as the trumpet of the sun, such as a flare on the sun.
However, if this word is specific to a certain person, then he must be the supreme sage, the president and chairman of the current generation of the Truth Society, and the director of Cornelius.
The sword and axe of time cut the mark of time on Cornelius's face, but he did not have the old dragon clock of an eighty-year-old man, and he walked and sat with simplicity and strength. The old man's bright eyes are as deep as the sky in the night, flashing with infinite wisdom, and the endless eyes contain a deep understanding of the world, this is an old man full of wisdom.
He made a deep impression on Rossi, and the deepest thing was an age spot on his left forehead, maybe not an age spot, or a mole, the palm of his hand was the size of the eyebrow. The crooked and irregular brown mole reminded Rosie of another old man, an old man who gave power back to the people. Both had a map on their heads, but it was clear that Cornelius seemed to be much smarter than the other old Joe.
Cornelius wore a dark blue sorcerer's robe embroidered with stars and a gold-rimmed one, revealing a white shirt with stripes. He wore a wide-brimmed peaked hat of the same color pattern, and held a native tree branch in his hand, looking like an ancient magician.
He took off his hat, revealing his bare head and a row of silver white hair on his sideburns, he hung his hat on the clothes rack and laughed self-deprecatingly: "The more books I read, the less my hair, sometimes I wish I could read fewer books, so that I can retain more dignity." ”
Cornelius' first impression on Rossi was good, he was a very funny, intellectually rich old man who kept his traditions while maintaining a youthful mentality.
"Hopefully I'm not late. After shaking hands, they sat down separately, Cornelius smiled and said, "When I came from the capital, I was thinking, what kind of person Rosie is, everything you have done is summed up in me, I think you are a hey, the word in the federal language means hero." At your age, I was still carefree and fantasizing about what the sages had done, and you put everything into action. You are an amazing person. ”
"You're overrated. Rosie lifted her ass and bowed slightly.
Cornelius shook his head, "No, I think my assessment is objective. He turned his head to look at Attila, "This must be the whip of the Holy Light, the blade of the gods, the Holy Attila?!"
Attila laughed twice, the apostles were also human beings, and they also liked to hear good things from others. If this kind of words came out of someone else's mouth, Attila didn't bother to pay attention to them, but when these words came out of the mouth of the supreme sage, the weight was different, so that Attila and a moody person had a trace of pride.
Cornelius straightened his clothes, "Let me introduce myself solemnly, I am the president of the Truth Society, the Supreme Sage, and the spiritual archmage, Cornelius, and it is a pleasure to meet you." ”
Rossi asked in surprise, "Spiritual Archmage?" President Cornelius, do you mean that you can still use magic?"
Cornelius smiled silently, and the hat hanging on the hanger in the distance suddenly rose into the air, and after a circle around the room, he hung back on the hanger.
Attila's eyes flashed with light, but then dimmed and fleeting.
Cornelius's approach is not difficult to guess, he needs to have a hole card in this trade that can deter the church, and he can't still let the church people dominate the trade unscrupulously. And the only way to deter this group of lawless fanatics in history is to come up with enough strength to compete with them.
"I don't know if it's magic or not, but I think it's one of the magic things that science can't explain and prove, and this kind of power that is beyond people's understanding. After all, I am the inheritor of magicians, and the Truth Society has always been a paradise for magicians. Cornelius was pleased with his actions and with the effect they had played, at least the lofty smile on Attila's face was gone.
Rosie couldn't help but applaud, "It's amazing." ”
"This is just the only way I can come up with a way out of the situation, and I hope to get help and support from the church. Historically, there has never been a conflict between the Truth Society and the Church of Light, and they have even helped and supported each other, and I already know the purpose of both of you coming here, and I have come here with the most sincere sincerity and attitude. Cornelius smiled, "Can we talk about the sealing circle now?"
"Of course!", Rosie began to tell the story, the story was not long, and there was nothing that could not be said, and Cornelius frowned when he had finished the whole story.
He hesitated, "If the sealing circle is actually in the half-plane, then we have lost the ability to open access to the half-plane. Although I am an archmage of the spiritual department, with the current world and laws, I have lost the ability to control the magnificent energies of nature and the universe. Do you have any solutions?", his expression became serious, "or what is there that needs the help of the truth?"
He understood very well that he, the so-called spiritual archmage, was actually a parallel import, and he had no substantial attack ability except for controlling some things that were not heavy to float around in a circle. There is no ability such as mental impact in the novel, perhaps because of his lack of ability and experience, and he can't develop such a spell. In this case, his position in the transaction becomes less important, unless the other party needs to use the Truth Society.
And this kind of demand is something they can't do on their own.
Rossi glanced at Attila, and then spoke eloquently, "We have a solution, we can destroy the sealing circle formed by the obelisk, force the sealing circle out of the half-plane and destroy it, revealing the base of the formation. But this method requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and at the same time, there are a little troubles. ”
Rossi's embarrassed expression seemed to Cornelius like a prompt, telling him that the deal was going to begin. He smiled confidently, "In the Federation, there is nothing we can't do, even if you need to become the president of the Federation, we have a way." ”
"Blood sacrifice!", Rosie's mouth moved slightly, and he spat out two syllables.
Cornelius was stunned for a moment, then gasped. As an organization that could still fight against the Church in its heyday, the Truth Society's understanding of the Holy Light Church is like that of the Holy Light Church's Understanding of the Truth Society, as long as it is not a top secret, it is almost impossible to hide.
Cornelius still knows the word blood sacrifice, which is the ability of an evil sect in the Holy Light Church to watch the house, to put it bluntly, it is to exchange enough blood and souls for the gifts of the gods. At the same time as this word was born, it is endless death and killing, it is said that they even dared to secretly tie up and sacrifice, and finally were ordered by the Pope to be eliminated, but I did not expect that today, thousands of years later, Cornelius heard this word again.
His face changed color and his expression was uncertain.
If it is just a blood sacrifice of a few people, they have no reason to come to the truth and ask for help, and the scale of this blood sacrifice is destined to be impossible for them to complete alone, which means that hundreds or even more people will become food for the gods in some sense.
With so many people gone, even if the truth is powerful, I am afraid it will not be able to suppress it.
He hesitated for a long time and asked unwillingly, "Can I know how big it is?"
Attila laughed, white teeth showing between her grinning lips, which made Cornelius palpitate, "Seven small cities, less than a million people!"
Cornelius stood up, his face flushed, and his trembling finger pointed at Attila, "You...... Do you know what you're talking about? A million people's blood sacrifice? It's not a blood sacrifice, it's a massacre!!!"
Attila's pointing at Cornelius was very calm, and Rossi was also very calm, and it took a while for Cornelius to calm down from several impulses to turn away, and he sat back in his seat unconsciously.
"Is there no other way?"
Rossi spread his hands, "There's no other way, unless you can find a sage-level mage who can use elemental magic, and you need a dozen." ”
Attila sneered a few times, "It's just the natives of some princely states, and if they die, they will die." ”
At this time, Cornelius had only two words in his mind - madman!
