In history, a small creation can often change history and achieve a new era.
The light of paper and the printing press enabled the common people to read and write, and thus to improve their wisdom and thinking, thus promoting the progress of the whole society.
The Ming of the steam engine created the entire steam era.
The use of nuclear energy and the advent of computers have also made the whole world different.
The changes that an important Ming brings to the world are often earth-shattering, and the impact is huge and far-reaching.
But not everyone can enjoy the benefits that those great minds can bring.
Usually the first to be hit by new technologies is always the old order, and it is the top of the old order, the vested interests.
It wasn't that Huey was unaware of the value of those alchemy techniques he had in his hands.
The Emblem allows people to use magic without the need for magical talents, and the puppet army is more efficient and less expensive than the troops formed by the samurai. The former makes the magician less noble, while the latter is more capable of influencing the decisions of a nation and threatening the majesty of the king.
The Arcane Tower cares about the status of the magicians, and the Church cares about their control and influence over the country. Once the two most powerful forces in the world were threatened by the same person - Electra.
Countless magicians and Holy Knights of the Church have come together to fight against one man and the vast army he has built. The end result was a fiasco.
Thankfully, that terrifying legendary great alchemist didn't leave those alchemy of his behind.
These technologies were short-lived and then disappeared.
As a result, the magicians have been able to maintain their nobility, and the Church has to continue to maintain their sanctity, influencing every nation on the Great 6.
Until the rise of Huy Glare.
Soon after Huigler fled from Purgatory Island, the Arcane Tower and the Church knew everything about the young man. At that time, they weren't interested, because Huyglare didn't have what made them feel threatened.
However, as time passes, Huey gradually reveals his abilities, and gradually reveals the details of some of the research materials he has obtained about Electra. This makes one have to be alarmed.
The Church can ignore the fact that Huey is a soul mage, but it must not accept the influence of Huey and other countries in joining forces to manipulate the political situation.
The Arcane Tower can ignore Huey's magical abilities, but the appearance of the Magic Emblem is absolutely not welcome.
Hue had obtained three copies of Electra's notes, the first of which was from Purgatory Island, and there was no record of the magic pattern. Therefore, the Arcane Tower has no interest in him, and only the court mage is sent by the Empire to hunt him down, but this has nothing to do with the Arcane Tower.
But then Huey was given two more Electra notes.
Although this matter was not known to others, Xiuyi's endless alchemy was enough to make everyone suspicious.
The fact that Abulit had a copy of Electra's notes and the Ring of Soul Eaters must have been unknown to anyone. But it's certainly not a secret that he's looking for the secret map of Electra's lab. After Abrite's death, the secret map is lost, and everyone can guess who did it, but they don't necessarily believe that Xiu Yi can find the laboratory.
But Xiu Yi showed his strong alchemy strength, creating such a terrifying existence as the Black Warrior, and the worst thing is that the Black Warrior is engraved with a magic pattern.
The nature of the matter immediately changed.
The magicians of the Arcane Tower believe that Huigler must have found another Electra's laboratory and learned the secret of how the Black Knights were made and the magic patterns. Although this speculation is not true, the final result is the same - Xiu Yi has the technology and resources to create magic patterns, and he has the ability to create a large number of artificial magicians.
This is definitely not a phenomenon that those old men who rely on their magical talents and work hard to become magicians are happy to see.
It's a warning from the Arcane Tower!
It must be them, Huey is almost sure.
Only the Arcane Tower and the Church of the Holy Spirit are qualified to ignore His Majesty's orders and continue to hunt him down, even warning him before hunting him down.
The warning of the Arcane Tower was not to keep him from showing his face in public, but to tell him not to reveal the secret of the magic pattern. This warning is obscure and has too much meaning behind it, but it is in line with the usual style of those arcane tower magicians.
The old guys always like to play tricks, and as for whether the other party can understand, it's not a matter for them to consider.
If it weren't for Isardo Napper's reminder, perhaps Huey would never have imagined in his life that there were so many complex meanings behind the simple act of commissioned assassination. Of course, Isardo Nepper knew because he was a magician himself.
"When I heard that you might have mastered the secrets of the magic pattern, I hadn't been in contact with you. At that time, I also used to think about killing you. The nobility of a mage lies not only in our excellent magical abilities, but also in our rarity. Under normal circumstances, no matter how many mages you kill, you can't offend all the mages in the world at the same time. But if you have the Magic Crest, you are destined to be a thorn in the side of all magicians. Of course, for the clage, we are not just magicians, but clergy. The latter is more important than the former, so your sense of threat to the church is not as strong as that. But for the Wizards' Guild, the threat is beyond measure. ”
"So, unless I swear never to use the Magic Emblem, there's no way they'll let me go?"
"Not necessarily, even if you don't use the magic pattern to build an army yourself, you can pass on this technique. For them, as long as the magic pattern exists for a day, they will not be at ease. ”
"Is that a must-kill?"
"It's also hard to say. This is because the Sorcerer's Guild is a loose organization and does not have strong binding force. More often than not, people study magic together, rather than working together to deal with an enemy. In this regard, they do not have enough experience. The important thing is that most of the old men in power in the Wizards' Guild are obsessed with magic and rarely ask about the world. A significant number of them don't like killing, at least not very much. Therefore, there may not be all support for the way of solving problems by killing you. To put it simply, some people may think that you have to die, while others may think that there is no need to make a fuss about it. Those who think you must die usually enjoy worldly prestige, while those who don't care about it usually live in seclusion in the wilderness. ”
"That's why the order to kill me was given through the League of Assassins, because these old men used this incident to give me a warning first, and if I didn't listen to the persuasion, they would kill me and put the blame on the League of Assassins? Or I was killed directly by the killers of the League of Assassins, and it saved them money? ”
"Typical Arcane Tower behavior, funny, isn't it?" Isado Nepper laughed.
"It's too mother-in-law, not decisive at all. These old men are like a bunch of bitches who want to sell themselves but still care about fame. ”
"That's right. However, there is no definitive answer to this matter so far, and we do not rule out the possibility that someone else may do so. Compared to this one, the other thing is much simpler and easier to judge. ”
"One more thing?"
"We got the news that Hamilton was out of Grubis. Isardo Nepper said with a serious expression, "This is a very dangerous signal, and we think it is very likely that it is coming at you." Compared to the possibility of an arcane tower, this one is probably a little bigger. ”
"Who is Hamilton?"
"A fanatical believer in the Holy Spirit, with the blood of my people on his hands. He has a high status in the Church of the Holy Spirit, is one of the three great generals of the Knights of the Radiant, and has the title of Divine Patron, though people prefer to call him the Cleanser. He was the executioner of the Church of the Holy Spirit, with a fierce and brutal temperament, and he specialized in excluding dissidents from the church. Wherever he goes, he brings panic to him. ”
Xiu Yi's face gradually became solemn: "How is the strength?"
"Very high, the strength of the Sky Warrior, combined with twelve top-level divine spells, is not weaker than a star powerhouse. Coupled with the fact that there was a whole team of 100 Holy Knights under his command, such a team usually consisted of at least seven or eight high-ranking church priests and a special operations team of no less than ten people. All the power at your hands combined can't be their match. Xiuyi, hurry up and drop everything over there, come to Nanda 6, only here, you are safe, even the Holy Spirit Church can't do anything about you. ”
Huey, however, shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Master Izado, but I don't intend to run away from my own war. Huey replied in this way.
In his opinion, Isardo Nepo's words were not so much good intentions as they were inducements, just as Huey used the siege army outside to force the prisoners to make a choice in Spark Prison, and the old guy was actually forcing Huygliel to take refuge in himself in the same way.
Under the current circumstances, he is in Peking University6, and the Church of the Cataclysm does not have enough power here, so he has a lot of dependence on Xiuyi and can only be carried out in the form of alliances and transactions. If I go to NTU 6, I am afraid that the situation will change a lot immediately. It is difficult to predict whether the people of the Church of the Scourge will still be so reasonable.
This is also the reason why the deal has been negotiated, but Xiu Yi has not been carried out immediately.
He had to improve his strength before he could go to Nanda 6 to lay a teleportation circle, and he had to make sure he was safe. In this matter, there is no one to help him except himself.
These people can only be trusted if they are outside the control of the Church of the Plague.
The old man had apparently guessed what Xiu Yi was thinking, and he sighed, "If I said that we had no intention of blackmailing you, you probably wouldn't believe it. But it doesn't matter, your caution is necessary. Trust between people is built through long-term relationships. I believe that over time, one day, you will truly understand and trust us. Hue Igler, if you want to come to Nanda 6 to lay a teleportation circle and fulfill the transaction, we can designate a general area for you. All you have to do is find a hidden spot there, lay up the circle, and tell us the location before you can leave. Until you have real power, we can avoid any further contact to avoid any misunderstandings that may be unnecessary. ”
This time, this Sacred Domain ** Master showed true sincerity. Xiu Yiwei was a little stunned, but finally nodded quickly: "Okay, when this cultivation is over, I will go to Nanda 6 to build a teleportation circle and complete the content of our previous agreement." Isn't the Church of the Holy Spirit going to attack me? We're going to deal them a fatal blow first. ”
Isardo Nepper had a big smile on his face, "I'm looking forward to that day, oh yes, what are you going to do with the Arcane Tower?"
"For them?" Xiu Yi raised his eyebrows, "In this case, in fact, you only need to do a very simple thing, and you can solve it." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Turn their fears into reality. Xiu Yi said word for word.
Aren't you old fellows worried that the spread of the magic pattern will lead to the appearance of a large number of magicians, and the status of magicians will be affected as a result?
When a large number of magic patterns appeared, I was afraid that the Arcane Tower would not have the heart to kill Xiuyi. Because dikes can only be used for flood control forever, and they cannot do anything after a tsunami. When the tsunami comes, people usually say it in a different way, "It's better to be blocked than to be loose." ”
Xiu Yi saw through the key at a glance, and he was not affected by the will of those big people in the slightest, and made his own decision categorically.
Looking at Isado Nepo, Xiu Yi said, "Are you interested in adding another deal? You provide the materials, and I provide the technology." I let the people designated by the Church of the Scourges enjoy the benefits of the magic pattern. I can help you have a large number of magic knights at once, and even make the original Knights of Destruction more powerful. ”
Isardo Neper's eyes flashed with excitement: "This is my long-awaited deal, Hue Igler, the Church of the Scourge has made you a friend." Whenever and wherever we are, we will stand by your side without hesitation. ”
The conversation from afar has finally ended.
Xiui stood there alone, pondering the change of situation and what he should do.
Unlike the previous struggles against the Empire, the new opponents are more powerful and less personal.
Personal grievances can be resolved, but conflicts of interest are difficult to eliminate.
What should I do?
Where will the days to come?
Will we continue to fight as we have done in the past, or will we retreat and form a net, and then come back when we are stronger?
Huey fell into a long thought for a long time.
He was immersed in the future when Carmela suddenly shouted loudly in the distance: "Vajra!
