Zhang Erluxi: Dilemma
The final destination of the [Dissociating Hand] is King Charles, which is obviously a treasured magic weapon in the original church, but it has fallen out so dramatically. Originally, this first-level magic weapon was a bargaining chip for the two sides, but the appearance of this situation put the original church in a dilemma, and it seemed that their reciprocal strategy with the king was about to change again.
In fact, the Church was well aware of what King Charles wanted: the power of a man capable of uniting the Yaris. The ambitious king tried many ways to make himself stronger, even at the cost of destroying his own spirit. In order to cater to the king's ambitions, they also launched various experiments to make perfect containers, hoping to make them before Merlin.
Compared to the Merlin Sect, there is no backer behind the original church, and there is no world tree that transcends the rules, Lux. It is for this reason that this sect, which is widely spread among the people, must be steadily attacked, and if one is not careful, the sect in the weak period can easily be destroyed by the wind and grass. It is an organization of like-minded people who pursue the poorest of the world in their own beliefs, who think they have the responsibility of all mankind, but they also know in their hearts that if they do not bring real well-being to people, they will not have the need to exist in this society.
The dissociation faction is about to die, and there is actually a hidden danger of split within the original faction. They were arguing over whether to attach themselves to Charlie's regime. Some core members asked whether the original church would have been different if it had not relied on this scheming king. Of course, there are others who sharply object that without King Charles' support, the whole church may really fall apart if he is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
The original church reached its peak hundreds of years ago, but their heyday did not last long, and there was a tendency to decline. Although their instructors still statistically number one of the entire Yaris, they still cannot compare to the Merlin cult that has survived since ancient times. A World Tree alone would be able to throw them out of 108,000 miles.
The Merlin Cult was born from the World Tree since ancient times, and the number of instructors is very small, but it is these very few teachers who have created almost miraculous "sanctuaries", each of which is not only used for scientific research, but also a medium for the power of the World Tree to be reasonably manifested in the world. In contrast, the accomplishments of these teachers of the original church were at best toys for children.
The primordial bishop, now worried, paced for a long time outside the council chamber of the Poserona Palace, and then slowly snapped the hoop at the door.
Tuk, tuk, tuk......
An extremely familiar voice came from inside the door: "Come in." ”
The bishop walked in cautiously, looked worriedly at the condescending King Charles, and sighed inwardly.
It seems that this dialogue is not destined to have a good outcome...... He never expected King Charles to do anything good from the beginning, and he never expected him to be of any help to the original church. He was forced by the pressure of most of the faculty to fall towards the king. Reason told him that if he did not make this decision, sooner or later the original church would be defeated at his hands.
It was because of this selfishness that he gave his blood to the Bloodless Rose and entrusted his hopes to Ewini's daughter, Marshall. This first-level magic weapon can advance her good luck, but it may not be able to increase her strength in advance. Of course, it's just his hope, and whether it's slim or not is another story.
Now that Marshall is firmly in the hands of Charlie, learning how to be an elegant lady in the boring Academy of Magic Knights, these girls end up as marriage machines for aristocrats and nobles, and if there are no exceptions, there is probably no other difference.
In the end, the bishop failed to get back the [Hand of Dissociation] from Charlie's hands, but the other party was kind enough not to open his mouth, and he promised to restore the original church to its original reputation and not to interfere with it. But the original church had to devote more resources to making the "perfect vessel", and if necessary, they had to work with the Merlins to do so. Of course, the bishop had to tell the king how to use the Dissociating Hand, which might help find a way to alleviate Charles' mental problems.
Truth be told, the bishops of the original church did not expect their church to do anything epochal in making the "perfect vessel", and the other party was just giving himself a step. The Merlin Cult has some life techniques, and in the bishop's opinion, they can make something even if they are foolish, and they are at best a fighter.
However, the [Dissociating Hand] should not be of much use in Charlie's hands. In the process of using it, he may find that the autonomous consciousness within this magic weapon is too cunning, and it is very likely that the user will be dissolved, or the dissociated substance or concept will be wrong......
Neither of these two Treasure Treasures is actually useful, one is too unstable, the other drains people's blood, and its effect is unpredictable. As any bishop knows, these two things were nothing more than window dressing by the original church. The weather was so good, but he couldn't be happier. He could only pray that the princess would grow up quickly and then drive King Charles out of power.
In the current Imperial Capital Central Knight Academy, the ladies have learned the fifteenth of the twenty-four moves. Marshall finally blends into the circle of the other girls. America still didn't teach these "female knights" anything meaningful, and those moves were at best fists and legs, and if they faced a real enemy, they would definitely be defeated.
Marshall and Zibelin's friendship is being strengthened, not only in a personal sense, but also in a political sense. Under the cover of Zibelin Mazmot's family and Philip, she quietly met with the head of the Mazmot family. The old gentleman was full of praise for Marshall's temperament and courage, and loudly thanked her for her swordsmanship instruction in Zibelin during this time, and promised that if these girls wanted to establish a magical knighthood, he raised his hands in favor and provided corresponding material assistance.
The Mazmot family is the leading old aristocracy in the Yaris, and the reason for their prosperity is that their family strictly adheres to the principle of the strong; They also have a mutually reciprocal relationship with the Society of Stars in private. As long as he becomes the most outstanding member of the family, the throne of the patriarch will be surrendered. The selection of the patriarch has an extremely strict evaluation mechanism, which assesses the comprehensive quality of the selected person from personal strength, leadership, and other aspects.
That being said, the women of the Mazmot family were still despised within the clan, and if it weren't for the fact that Zibelin was the eldest granddaughter of the patriarch, she probably wouldn't have been able to go to the Knight Academy to study. But whether you can really learn anything in the Knight Academy is another matter. Zibelin didn't want the elderly patriarch to work too hard, and when she met Marshall, a mentor and friend, she was silent and worked with Marshall to improve herself.
The patriarch saw everything in his eyes, and he knew that his granddaughter had received "special treatment" at the Central Knight Academy, but he did not get angry because of Marshall's appearance. In his opinion, this may be a strange fate, the relationship between the Zibelin family and the royal family in recent years has not been particularly stable, maybe the relationship between the two families can be maintained by building a good relationship with Marshall.
The patriarch sent a letter asking Tara, the highest deacon of the Society of the Stars, if he could provide some help to Marshall and Zibelin, but he received a reply that because of Marshall's relationship with Charlie, the other party could only provide the most basic help to Zibelin. That is, Tara and Charlie are on the same team, but the Mazmot family and the little girl Marshall are on the same team.
He didn't know about Marshall's relationship with Charlie before, but now he does.
It's a bit embarrassing...... But what has been said, there is no room for retraction. It was as if he was making a big gamble, after all, Tara said that he would not report this matter to King Charles, and no matter how much the fire burned, it would not burn to the Mazmot family.
However, Marshall himself did not have the heart to think about it now, because the six of them were blocked by a group of hooligans in the dim alley, and behind them was a dead end.
