Volume 1: Under the Night, Chapter 22: The Situation in Utania (Part II)

"So the turmoil in Euternia now ......"

"It is not only the fundamental conceptual confrontation between the two countries, but also the game of their respective interests, which will be an inevitable war." Xiao Lin picked up his words.

"Fighting......" he muttered.

This is actually not a secret in the world, but after all, his mobile phone was only back in his hands before he got on the plane, and he didn't have time to watch these international news, not to mention, the worldly news would not mention the information of the warlock race.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about ...... Can the Warlocks control this worldly war? ”

Lin Yan remembered that non-interference with the mundane world was an iron rule in the "Regulations on the Administration of Warlocks of the Night Law Enforcement Bureau", and the original version of this iron law was from the Holy Bishop's saint leader, Yar, more than 2,000 years ago.

After all, the true retreat of the warlock to the world began more than 2,000 years ago in the age of the saints.

"It will have a great impact on the situation, not to mention the large-scale group of black magicians in the Republic of Celes, which is a headache for the General Administration, but the remnants of the Holy Bishop's forces in Utania have enough ability and motivation to interfere in this secular dispute.

After all, at the beginning of the independence of the Republic of Hiles, not all of the Utanian Warlocks flocked to the Ethernia to this day, so that the number of Red Cultists in Ethernia is still very large, and even their Dark Law Enforcement Bureau has many devout Red Cultists, which makes the composition of Warlocks in their entire jurisdiction very complicated.

A considerable number of them are extremists who openly support the Utania Night Law Enforcement Bureau, but secretly want to subvert their secular regime and create an armed conflict that is enough to seize the Holy City, so as to promote the integration of the Holy City into the Republic of Hiles on a temporal level. ”

"Can they really ignore the laws of the General Administration like that? I mean, if they do that, the General Directorate won't fix them? ”

"They certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to use force to directly engage in the battlefield, they are well aware of the limits of the Night Law Enforcement Agency's tolerance, but in the shadows, who knows what they will do. Moreover, the Eutania Branch will not sit still, and most of them are not Red Cultists, so naturally they will not be willing to give up the power of the Branch Bureau that has been operated for thousands of years, a confrontation that is invisible to the world...... Already started in the world of warlocks. ”

Lin Yan frowned, glanced at Xiaoxiao, who was gnawing on the edge of the Coke cup on the side, and muttered, "Has the war spread to the warlock world?" ”

"That'...... How much does Eutania's success or failure in this war have to do with our rituals? He looked back at Xiao Lin.

This is the only point that Lin Yan has not figured out at the moment, these intricate religious beliefs, territories, and sovereignty struggles, what is the matter with him as a "seed" waiting to be possessed by the demon god, and what risk factors will it bring to their profession of warlocks who do not meddle in secular disputes.

He is not Yar, much less the savior of Utaniah.

"Yes." Xiao Lin slowly explained: "The most crucial Holy Bishop's magic weapon in the ritual is located in the Holy City, and the final ownership of the Holy City, or which of the Republic of Heles or Utania can become the official sub-bureau of the Night Law Enforcement Bureau, also determines whether the progress of our mission can go smoothly.

If the Holy City still belongs to a country like Utania that is not so devout to the Holy Bishop, we can still secretly carry out this ritual with the help of the religious artifact in their hands, after all, our ritual does not involve any other aspect of the Prohibition of Magic than violating the provisions of the Code of Conduct for the Use of Magic.

However, if the Holy City is finally controlled by the Republic of Celes, once they find out that the religious artifact that has just returned is tainted by the soul of the demon god, the matter will be reported to the General Bureau, and they are afraid that the Red Cultists of their entire country will fall into madness because of this.

No one can face the wrath of the entire Warlock race in the country alone, including Lady Hua. ”

"Huh-" Lin Yan exhaled a long breath, he didn't expect that the life and death of his little minion would be so inextricably linked to the development of the situation in these two countries that had nothing to do with him.

He sighed softly, "I'm afraid even Yair can't imagine that the religion he founded in his own country has pushed his country to fall apart after two thousand years." ”

"Oh, in fact, Yael doesn't identify with his country so much, you can read the Holy Bishop's programmatic reading "The Holy Age" in the future, where Yael wants to drown all the Otanian nobles in the dung tank." Xiao Lin mercilessly refuted his emotion.

"Hehe......" Lin Yan smiled awkwardly, "It's me who is a shallow learner." ”

Xiao Lin was noncommittal and said, "Having said so much, you should be clear about the severity of the situation, our trip is not for tourism." ”

Lin Yan pursed his lips, if he remembered correctly, he was forced by them to embark on this "road of no return" at the beginning, and this trip, he was the most unlikely to travel, he was really a guinea pig who was going to be pushed onto the altar.

"We already know what's going on over there." Lin Yan turned his head again to look at Xiaoxiao, who was almost overflowing from his eyes, and asked, "What should we pay attention to when we arrive?" ”

"It's a well-known thing in the warlock world, so it can't be ruled out that there will be patriotic warlocks from Han who are on the same plane as us, so from the moment we board the plane to Utaniah, we must not reveal our warlock identities unnecessarily,"

“…… I'm not a warlock. ”

“……”

"Okay, you go on." Lin Yan realized that the sentence just now was for Xiaoxiao.

"Our secular identity is that of import and export merchants who have visited Utania, I have booked a hotel in the Holy City, and after arriving at the destination, we have to minimize the scope of our activities, who knows when the war will burn to the Holy City, and the rituals, Mrs. Hua will arrange them herself after she arrives."

"Okay, no problem." Lin Yan had no reason to refuse all the arrangements, and he even added, "It's hard work, it's hard work." ”

Xiao Lin gave him a blank look and said, "You'd better settle down, although your physical condition is much better than when you first met, but being hit by a bullet will still burp on the spot, so I suggest that after you arrive in Euternia, if you really want to go out, it's best to let Xiaoxiao follow with you, and she will be beaten." ”

"Is it okay to say that in front of me?" Xiaoxiao pursed her lips.

"In the Middle East, faith is more binding than law, after getting off the plane, you can study the local customs and habits on your mobile phone in advance, so as not to say the wrong thing and cause unnecessary trouble, Mrs. Hua hates to poke the basket when doing business."

"Am I like someone who stabbed Lou Zi?"

"I told Xiaoxiao."

“……”

Lin Yan heard the sound of the earphone cable being pulled off beside him.
