0174 Secrets, Secrets, Secrets
While the young magicians were excited about participating in the war for the first time, Jialan held an emergency meeting in the Dragon's Lair with a serious face with the representatives of the University of Science and Technology, Mr. Donaldson, President Clark, President Clifford, and George Campbell, the captain of the City Guard, who currently symbolizes the only official power in the city.
Because the members of the Civil Council, as well as the soldiers of the city defense army, except for the very few people who happened to go to the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall to watch the competition, were indirectly protected by the intercontinental forces and the magic academy, the rest were almost wiped out in the surprise attack of the main army of the war goblins.
So the rest of them became the supreme governors of Coran City.
Jialan told everyone the information he had interrogated from the golden thieves of the Golden Power Society, which made the top leaders of Kelan City, who had taken office urgently, couldn't help but look at each other with a shocked face!
This war goblin invasion is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface, not only the goblins of Dagon intend to "restore the country", but also involve a mysterious "secret".
It is a pity that this gold thief who failed to assassinate but was accidentally captured, although his status in the secret intelligence organization "Rat Hive" under the name of the Golden Power Society is not low, but there are details about this mysterious secret, but only the leader of the Hive, a thief named "Moonlight Mouse" and Baron Rodney, a nobleman of gold power, knows about it.
But what is certain is that this war goblin invasion is beyond imagination, not only Dagon's war goblins, but also demons involved!
I'm afraid I'm going to be attacked at this moment. It's not just Gilargo County, South Bruland County, which is close to the east coast of the "Dagger Strait", is estimated to have also fallen into chaos!
This is definitely a premeditated war!
Because Jialan is from the confession of the gold thief. One word was noticed: "South Continent African Alliance"!
And this so-called "Southern Continent African Alliance" will be composed of the shadow wetlands of the "Southwest Continent", the Warcraft of the Zom Wasteland, the barbarians, the stone witches, the cannibal trolls, the green trolls, and the cyclops...... and other demon tribes, as well as the goblin kingdom of Dagon County on the "Southern Continent", and the scale tribe of the Kwabala Jungle on the "Southeast Continent".
These non-human races intend to join forces to seize the continents on the southern coastline of the Star Continent from the hands of humans, and fight against the Terrans who occupy the dominant position in the world!
I'm afraid this is a conspiracy against the human race!
This sudden and shocking news stunned everyone present. It's no wonder that in Gilago, such a large number of orcs and barbarian alliances suddenly appeared, and before. Barbarians and orcs are not uncommon in Gilargo County, but there are definitely not so many of them!
But the question is, even if they know the news, what can they do?
"The one who is currently invading our county of Gilago. It's just the vanguard of the Goblin Kingdom of Dagon County. Once they are allowed to completely conquer the Sea Wall Pass, Kelan City and other passes, then the follow-up goblin army will drive straight in!"
Jialan frowned and said: "When the time comes, the goblins who have the advantage will probably no longer care about the intercontinental power such as the Mercenary Guild and the Adventure Guild, and even the magic power of the Kemo University will no longer be intimidating!"
Everyone looked at each other, and Chairman Clark stood up violently and said loudly, "We must get this news out of the city!" Immediately organize a rescue team to rush to the aid of the Sea Wall Pass! Don't let the goblins break through the defense line and invade in a big way!"
None of them know the truth. Once this inhuman alliance is really allowed to control the south coast of the Star Continent, I am afraid that the human race will not only face the invasion of the territory, but also more terrible things will happen, such as the massacre of the human race, the enslavement of the human race, and so on.
However, Captain George of the City Guard said with a worried face: "With our strength, can we stop those monsters?"
"We can't stop the enemies on the entire South Road, but we can stop the enemies in Gilago County!"
Clifford, the president of the Eternal Hammer Auction House, said with certainty: "As long as we can keep our territory from being attacked, we will already be able to greatly hinder the evil plan of this 'Southern Continent Inhuman Alliance'!
As he spoke, everyone's eyes focused on Mr. Donaldson, who had been silent, and President Clark said a little anxiously, "Your Excellency Donaldson, is it possible that the University of Science and Technology still intends to be indifferent to the current situation?"
Donaldson shook his head and frowned, "I'm afraid that Kemo University still can't come forward to interfere in this incident." ”
"For what?"
The crowd was almost unanimous.
Teacher Donaldson glanced at Jialan, but then kept silent, and after a while, he said: "I don't know the details, but I know that the Dao is related to the 'Seven-Day War' hundreds of years ago. ”
Except for Jialan, who was confused, everyone present obviously knew a little about the so-called "Seven-Day War", and Chairman Clark frowned and said, "Could it be that the legendary "Holy Light Forbidden Demon Decree" and "Seven Continents Magic Binding Agreement" really exist?"
"Hey, everyone......"
Jialan couldn't help but ask, "Can you explain this "Holy Light Forbidden Demon Law Order" and "Seven Continents Magic Binding Agreement"?"
Everyone was a little surprised that Jialan, as a magician, didn't know the two legends that were widely spread on the Lu Dao Star Continent.
But thinking of Jialan's age, he was a little relieved, after all, those legends were a long time ago, and under the joint suppression and deliberate dilution and ignorance of the major forces on the seven continents, there are not many young people who know the Tao now.
"According to legend, hundreds of years ago, there were many conflicts between the 'Church of Light' and the 'Magic Council', which ended in the 'War of the Holy Demons'...... Therefore, the Holy Light Church has always been committed to spreading the 'Forbidden Demonic Law' to believers during its mission. ”
Teacher Donaldson explained simply: "But later, for various reasons, a tragic magic war broke out that affected the seven continents, because the high-level forbidden magic is extremely threatening to the environment and the lives of civilians, so under the joint suppression of the forces of the seven continents and the Holy Light Church, the magic council was forced to dissolve, and formulated a 'forbidden spell constraint', strictly prohibiting the use of forbidden magic." ”
Jialan was not very satisfied with Mr. Donaldson's vague explanation, but she also understood what was going on, it was nothing more than a competition between two powerful and powerful systems, but compared to the more down-to-earth so-called "divine arts", the mysterious magic was not so easy to understand by the worldly civilians.
Fear often comes from the unknown, and people will imagine the areas they don't understand, so as to have a fear of them, and the withdrawn and mysterious magician can easily become the image prototype of the legendary evil character, coupled with the deliberate promotion of the Holy Light Church behind the scenes, it is not difficult to understand the current situation.
Jialan realized a little at this time, for what kind of magic holy place like Kolambang, but he couldn't find the existence of the Holy Light Church, I'm afraid this is the result of the exchange of interests, in order not to use magic power to interfere with the mortal world as a condition, in exchange for unrestricted magic inheritance in local areas.
Divine and Arcane ...... Or the relationship between spells and magic, even in his original era, the contradiction was very serious, and it was only because the power of the arcane spellcasters in that era was not weaker than that of the magic casters, so they were barely at peace.
And the origin of the contradiction is not just because the arcane spellcasters are basically unbelievers and blasphemers who have no respect for the gods, but it is said that its roots can be traced back to the very ancient times, in the era of Nether, when the arcane civilization reached its peak!
In that era when the world was ruled by spellcasters, the mage was the living god in this world, and it was the darkest era of god belief, because the most powerful mage at that time, in order to pursue the ultimate, the most commonly used means was "killing gods"!
Defeat and slay the legendary gods and take their "godheads" and "godheads" to become new gods.
Think about it, in an era when even one's own beliefs can be killed at any time, how can religion develop, and how can mortals recognize and believe in their own gods?
However, when the Arcane civilization developed to the extreme, those powerful arcane mages who even trembled the gods began to fall into madness, and the Arcane civilization began to decay until it completely disappeared into history.
Countless great and powerful arcane arts have been gradually lost due to the passing of the Nether era, and although the inheritors have tried hard to preserve their inheritance, they can only watch in vain as the crystallization of the once brilliant arcane civilization slips through their fingers like quicksand.
Later, the Arcane Age came to an end and a new era dawned, and the successors recreated a new system of spells with the knowledge of the Nether civilization, which was called "Secret Art".
In order to commemorate its origin, the new spell system is still named "arcane", and the full name is "arcane mystery", which is the spell system that later spellcasters simply called "arcane".
Many later spellcasters thought that "secret art" was "arcane", but in fact it was not, it was just the abbreviation of the new spell system, which happened to be similar to the arcane in the era of the arcane civilization.
The relationship between the two spell systems of "arcane" and "arcane" is like "arcane" and "magic" in this era, with the same root and origin, but completely different!
The spell system mastered by the casters has undergone several changes, and both the power and the type are extremely decayed, and the magic casters with relatively complete inheritance, although the strength has gradually weakened due to the fall of a large number of gods, but they have gradually suppressed the arcane casters.
This may be the reason why the magic caster will work tirelessly to fight the arcane spellcaster, right......?
