Section 240 The Invitation to the Lonely City (I)

Just as Solomon had expected, the man who had secretly influenced Rand was deeply hidden, never revealing his true face even in front of Rand, but impressed him with his life-saving grace and magical guidance and profound knowledge, and then influenced him with the ideas he pointed out.

As for Cumminnathan's pursuit, Solomon stopped asking here, as if he was just curious, casually asking.

Over the next few days, the two drafted a report detailing what they had seen and heard in Bethesda, as well as some speculations, including that the information revealed in their conversation that day, the myth of Bethesda, had been transmitted back to Asturias by the portal of the deserted island in the Isles of Folly.

Unbeknownst to Rand, however, there was a more top-secret and detailed report written by Solomon himself and sent back to Asturias.

Soon after, an order came back from Asturias, allowing the scholar mage and the Jimenez family to act cheaply for their own purposes, or the report that the two of them had drafted together was satisfactory enough to be the first payment they paid to Asturias for allowing the scholar-mage, writer, and playwright Agravin and the Jimenez family to come here, so that they could be allowed to carry out his exploration, archaeology, and communication for their own goals, the normal commercial trade of the Jimenez family.

Of course, their experiences still have to be recorded and transmitted back every once in a while.

"The kingdom doesn't seem to have any intention of moving this way right away. Rand breathed a sigh of relief, and he deliberately exaggerated the speculation in his report when referring to the discussions with Solomon. Hopefully, the kingdom's ambitions for this place will be stopped.

"As far as I know. There is also a war on the local side. The nations made a solemn demand to the Church of Light to renounce their secular status. Solomon said.

Rand couldn't help but change his face, in fact, he had heard some rumors before he came out, but he was still a little shocked when he really heard that the war was about to start.

After all, the Church of Light began to be introduced from the invasion of the Celestial Realm, and it took root in the Kaos plane, although the High Elves expelled the invaders, and although the will of the plane could re-isolate the connection between the Celestial Realm and the Kaos, the seeds that the Celestial Faith successfully sowed among the creatures of the plane could not be eradicated. The Celestial Realm can always peer into Keos through the Church.

Even, if the Church of Light goes crazy, it will be a big trouble to pay for the destruction of the church like the Cult of Light in the Ligurian plane and lead to the connection between the heavenly realm and the original plane, which is also one of the reasons for the Church of Light before. Of course, as long as they don't push the Church of Light into a corner, they won't choose this means of ending up together, because although the people in the church want to maintain the belief in the heavenly realm, they haven't gone crazy to this point, especially before the development of magic research, the Church of Light used the contradictions between the countries as a counterbalance. Left and right, there is no need for this last resort.

But this time, it seems that Titania, Asturias, and Aurora have finally formed a common interest because of the community plan. It is already ironclad to solve the potential hidden dangers of the local first.

This is indeed a rare opportunity, there is chaos on the Jade Continent, the three kingdoms on the Azure Continent have been united, and there is only one Tianhuo Plateau outside, and the royal court of the orcs is also distracted by the Emerald Continent, and if the countries agree that the Tianhuo Plateau can also join the community plan, then the orc royal court may only join the ranks of encircling and suppressing the Church of Light.

Although Rand didn't know how the kingdoms planned in this matter and how they would deal with the final madness of the Church of Light, he believed that since the kingdoms dared to do it, they must have confidence.

Rand was not wrong in his guess, the countries were of course absolutely sure of removing the hidden danger of the Church of Light.

Although the Church of Light had a choice of imitating the Cult of Light, it was no longer the same as it used to be.

First of all, it is impossible for the Celestial Realm to be invaded casually by the will of the Plane, otherwise the Celestial Realm would have already made Kaos a part of its Heavenly Kingdom, instead of relying on the Church as a link to maintain the existence of the source of faith as it is now.

Therefore, even if the Church of Light finally went crazy, it was only by relying that the people in the church were protists of the original plane, which could cause a destruction from within, so that the will of the plane could not be guarded against at the beginning and succeeded, connecting to the heavenly realm.

But as long as the will of the plane still exists, it will inevitably feel this threat, and then fight back and block it with all its might, so that although the passage connecting the celestial realm will be opened, this connection channel will definitely have great limitations, and the power that the celestial realm can invade will definitely be far less than the worse and worse situation when the ligurian plane was destroyed.

However, the current strength of the countries is far more than before, and under the advantages of the other, the simulation results of the battle plans deduced by the magic brain of the countries will be a complete victory.

As for Bethesda's side, he naturally won't do anything until the hidden danger of the Church of Light is removed, so the instructions from the local side just hope to continue to get information from Jimenez and other similar companies and organizations that are allowed to enter, as well as scholars and mages like Agraven who are allowed to come to explore and communicate.

"But there is also civil strife here, and if there is an opportunity, the kingdom will definitely benefit from it. Even with the powerful Edra and Didra here, it can't stop the desire for profit. Solomon said.

Rand sighed, he knew that Solomon was telling the truth, but of course what he didn't know was that Solomon was one of the drivers of this kind of thing.

"Actually, you don't have to worry, our experience in Winterhold these days, the information from the caravans below, and the situation I have deduced from mythology and historical texts, this plane is a world with a strong system, and the power of the Azure Continent will reach here in the future, which may be a salvation for them. ”

Rand shook his head and said: "If this is hanging, our plane will not bring them much better, but it is a different form, the same exploitation and oppression, is starvation must be nobler than hanging." ”

"No, no, no, Rand, you have to admit that the change in the Azure Continent, no matter how much you think it is full of exploitation and oppression, is still a kind of progress compared to here. Solomon smiled and said, "Isn't it?"

"Well, let's not argue about that, I'll do my duty as Jimenez and continue to do what I promised, but I'll try to stop it when I can go back. This is not for the people of this plane, but for Asturias, for the sake of the Azure Continent, for the entire Kaos, I have been to the Emerald Continent, and I have seen the real results of the Ambergris War, which left the Emerald Continent with a legacy of disaster, but for those who were forced to go to war, it was also a tragedy. Rand sighed, "Mr. Agraven, I really hope that you will play a little part in your work. ”

"Okay, I promise you, do my best, my next novel will be a fantasy war novel with alternate history, what do you think?" Solomon smiled: "If you don't mind, I plan to use your Jimenez family as the prototype as the history of the protagonist's family in this novel, I have already thought of the name of this novel, it is called War and Peace, the war in it, maybe I will take the events in the saliva war." ”

Rand was stunned for a moment, he repeatedly wanted Solomon to do something, but the other party had already refused, so he thought of asking the other party to exert some influence when writing the novel, but he didn't expect Solomon to jokingly agree, but to use his family as a prototype.

"Well, if it can make some difference, I don't mind personally. Rand smiled wryly.

Solomon laughed.

Time flew by, and while Solomon and Rand were working together on a third report to be sent back to Asturias, the ruler of Winter Castle, Sodra ordered the two to come and invite them over.

After seeing Sodra again, the two sides took their seats.

"Dear Agra scholars, I have admired your erudition since the last time we talked at first sight, and I wish I could have had time to communicate with you again, but it is a pity that I, as the Archon of Winterhold and the dean of Winterhold Academy, must first fulfill my duties. Sodra first exchanged a few polite words with Solomon, and then asked if Solomon's exploration and archaeology starting from Wintercastle were going well.

"It's going very well, with the books you gave us, and allowing me to explore freely, I found some traces of ancient civilizations here, but I don't know if it belongs to the Elven Dynasty or the First Empire. Solomon replied.

"Oh, yes, I wish you something. Sodra looked interested, but he didn't ask any more, if this kind of ancient trace happened to be explored and found ancient ruins, it might not be able to help him, but he had more important things to do today, and it was not good to show greed in front of the guests.

"Mr. Rand, I have invited you here this time, and there is one more important matter. Thordra turned to Rand and said, "Lady Arya of Solitary City has made a request to meet you both, and if it is convenient for both of you, I will send my faithful servant to accompany you to Solitary City to receive her summons." ”

Although Sodra's words were a little polite, the tone of the substance was one that could not be denied.

In fact, it was he who recommended Rand and Solomon to Arya.

"Absolutely. Rand promised, of course he couldn't refuse, now from the teleportation point in the Stupid Islands in the name of trade, pretending to be merchants from another continent infiltrated by a few Asturian merchants, Jimenez is just one of them, and Skyrim Province is the range they choose, the others went to other provinces, Winter Castle is one of their starting points, and if they want to further expand to the entire Skyrim Province in the future, they will definitely not be able to avoid the descendants of Queen Wolfheart, and it will be sooner or later to meet Arya, although Rand thinks that the country is full of exploitation and oppression, but now that he is the representative of the Jimenez family, of course he has to do what he should do when he reigns for a day。

"But, Mr. Sodra, can you tell us the purpose of Lady Arya's visit to us, so we can prepare early. Rand said.

"Yes, because of the edict of the province of Cellodir. Sodra smiled wryly, a little disgusted and a little helpless. (To be continued.) )
