Chapter Eighty-Nine: Arad with an Undercurrent
The black-robed man came to Argos two years ago and recommended himself as the king's advisor.
At first, the king did not trust him, but after he showed that he was more powerful than the court wizards, the king bowed down to him.
Under the guidance of this man, the king issued many decrees over the years, which made the kingdom of Argos prosperous.
For a time, everyone was full of praise for the king, considering him the wisest king to date!
"Your Majesty, I'll step back first." The black-robed man bowed slightly, "There are still many things to deal with. ”
"Go, go, if this is done! This king will make you a national teacher! ”
The king was so excited that he was completely immersed in the beautiful fantasy of becoming the co-ruler of the world.
The black-robed man left the palace and walked through the palace, and everyone along the way saw him and saluted respectfully.
It wasn't until he walked out of the palace that the black-robed man stopped and looked up at the temple in front of him.
The idol of Thoth, the god of wisdom, stands like a hill in front of the temple, overlooking all living beings.
The Three Witches, like pious servants, stood in front of the statue of Thoth, gazing at the world they had once blessed.
Since the third king, Cynthia has not been seen in the forefront.
Because of its powerful prophetic ability, it was feared by the king, so it lived in the temple all year round.
In order to gain power, the king persecuted free wizards in the country, forcing all wizards to be loyal to him.
Any wizard who studies witchcraft on his own will be considered a heretic.
"Teacher, this kingdom is not worth saving, the kingdom of Argos is no longer the world you used to be."
The black-robed man lifted his hood, and it was Medusa.
Because she resolutely refused to submit to the king's rule, she was long condemned as an evil witch.
The king once mobilized dozens of seventh-level wizards in order to hunt her down.
Under the impetus of Galadriel, the strength of wizards has been improved by leaps and bounds, and although there are few seventh-level wizards, they are no longer as difficult to find as they once were.
Medusa tried her best to escape from the other party's hands.
"Power and ambition will only lead this empire to destruction, and since everything will eventually be destroyed, let me put an end to it myself."
"On the ruins, I will create a beautiful kingdom that belongs only to wizards!"
"Every wizard can study freely without fear of being oppressed by power!"
Medusa's eyes shone with dazzling brilliance, and she could even faintly see a different color that did not belong to human beings.
"Teacher, I will bring a free country to mankind!"
In the temple, Cynthia sat cross-legged, a faint blue glow flowing around her, and a little star twinkle could be seen in it.
Suddenly, one of the stars suddenly flickered.
"It's ...... Medusa! She actually ......"
Cynthia opened her eyes suddenly, and subconsciously got up, wanting to go to the palace to warn.
Just then, a witch hurried into the temple and bowed down.
"Lord Cynthia, the king has sent another order."
"Ask all the witches of the temple to study the secret of immortality for them, and if they do not obey their orders, they will gather a large army to surround and suppress the temple!"
Cynthia was slightly stunned and looked up outside the temple.
The gaze passed through the wide square, and fell on the edge, on the black-robed figure.
Sensing Cynthia's gaze, Medusa did not hide it in the slightest, but looked straight over.
After a few years, this pair of former colleagues began a long-lost dialogue.
"Cynthia, don't stop me, you should know how corrupt the current Argos Dead Kingdom is."
"But ......"
"No, listen, what the people are talking about!"
Medusa waved her sleeves violently, and the voices from all directions poured into Cynthia's ears like birds returning to the forest.
"Those damn orcs should all be used as slaves!"
"The wizards are too powerful, they all have to be locked up! As a national shared labor! ”
"That's right, these wizards are doing some research all day long, they don't know what to do, it looks so terrifying!"
"Why can't I be a wizard? Those wizards are not as good as me! ”
"These guys with great power should disappear!"
Listening to these voices, a confused look gradually welled up in Cynthia's eyes.
"Why, why is this happening...... Doesn't the existence of wizards make human beings live better? ”
Medusa was dismissive: "Humans are such greedy creatures, they are never satisfied with what they have around them, they only crave greater power, and they never know what we have to pay to get it!" ”
"This world doesn't need a weak existence at all! These weak guys are the biggest drag on us wizards! ”
"I'm going to purify the world! Let it go back to what it used to be! ”
Cynthia fell silent.
As a prophetic witch, she naturally knows the dirty things that happen in this kingdom.
But she always believes that there are good and evil in human beings, there are people who do evil things, and naturally there are people who do good, and they cannot be generalized.
But everything Medusa showed him seemed to tell her that human beings are ugly!
Humans are greedy, tyrannical, and suspicious...... All sorts of shortcomings in one.
Medusa looked at the temple from afar and stretched out her hand: "Come, Cynthia, with me, this ugly human world will be put to an end!" ”
"The king will attack Galadriel, whether Galadriel lives or not, I will kill the king, and then announce the king's crimes."
"The angry elves will inevitably start a war, and with the strength of the elves, this will be a war that will sweep the entire Arad continent!"
"I need you to stand by my side, we can rebuild a new order in the midst of war!"
"A country where there are only wizards and only focus on research!"
"In that kingdom we will be undisturbed, and we will be able to immerse ourselves in the mysteries of witchcraft until eternity!"
Her voice was ethereal, as if it had a certain smug flavor.
The look in Cynthia's eyes changed, and after a long time, she slowly lowered her head and said softly: "Medusa, I admit that there are many parts of this world that are not satisfactory, but this is not a reason for you to destroy it. ”
"I won't stop you, but I won't help you either."
"If you're going to assassinate Galadriel, then go ahead, as I've always believed, Galadriel won't die, at least not now."
"What makes her really strong is not her strength, but her will, and it's a pity that you have never recognized this before."
