Chapter 276: Council of the Gods
Kai'Sa and Beludanti immediately put the establishment of the Witcher's School on the agenda.
In the afternoon of the same day, the first batch of strong-willed and mentally resolute ranger warriors were selected as the first batch of students of the school.
As for the name of the school, Li Ang did not intend to give it a name such as the Wolf School and the Bear School, and he did not want to teach such detailed things.
The extraordinary power of this world is far more common than in the Middle Ages, and the elves are even more so, and these selected elven rangers already have a certain amount of combat experience and foundation, and most of them have the strength of the middle sequence, so there is no need to learn some completely unfamiliar combat skills from scratch.
A prayer room in Lady Nasha's cathedral is used as a temporary home for the Witcher School.
Thirty elves sat on their chairs and looked at the Red Knight standing in the center of the stage with admiration and awe in their eyes.
As the patron saint of Lotherne, although he rarely shows up, it does not prevent him from becoming all Ain?? The spiritual pillar of the Els.
Li Ang didn't say polite words, and said straight to the point: "First of all, I want to teach you some basic common sense, which you may have heard of some time ago, but I still have to repeat it, because it is very likely to save your life in the future." β
...
The lecture was carried out step by step, and each elf showed 100% seriousness and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.
This kind of learning attitude is very satisfying to Leon.
"To deal with demons, you must be careful with ten thousand, if conditions permit, you must remember to mend the knife to avoid the demon from being in a state of suspended animation, and if the conditions do not allow, at least cut off the head of the demon, so as to prevent them from coming back to life. β
"Historically, there have been countless witchers who have died at the hands of demons who thought they were dead, and I hope you will remember that. β
These were no longer what Dante had taught him, but Leon's own insights.
This is a kind of "Gou" wisdom.
The kind that often appears in anime movies, the scene where the protagonist group begins to cheer in victory before the enemy is completely dead, and the scene where the tables are turned over is almost impossible to appear on him.
"Also, don't think of all demons as the low, unintelligent beasts that the Lothern Guard encountered during the war. β
"There are many demons whose intelligence is far higher than that of humans and elves. β
Li Ang added his own understanding of some of the things that happened in the imperial capital, Silonia.
"Next, I will screen out the ten people with the strongest mental strength and the strongest will among you to carry out the first demon hunt. β
"It's not a lucky thing, because it means that these ten people will completely lose their way back, and once they become witchers, they will die. β
Li Ang said in a deep voice.
"Ahemβ"
Outside the door, Anivia's cough was heard.
"Sorry to interrupt your lesson, but Leon, the first meeting of the Council of the Gods is about to take place, and I want you to attend. β
Leon nodded dryly, "I hope this won't waste too much of my time." β
He turned his gaze back to these future elven demon hunters, and admonished, "I will be away for a while, and when I return, I will screen out the first batch of candidates to hunt demons, and during this time, I hope you can meditate for a period of time to ensure that your mental state is always at the peak." β
"Yes, teacher. β
...
Leave the prayer room.
Li Ang was a little puzzled: "Is this meeting a little rushed? I remember you said before that the first meeting was going to be held in three days. β
"Yes, the original plan was to do so, but Ion, the patron saint of the Sanara Desert, raised a very important issue. β
"What is it?"
"He intends to free the ancient undead who have been suppressed by the pyramids, and to awaken the necromancers known as the 'Tomb Kings' from their tombs. β
"I don't know much about pyramids and tomb kings, can you put it more simply?"
"That said, the Patronus intends to use the undead against the demons. β
Li Ang bowed slightly: "Good idea." β
Letting the Scourge Legion come out to deal with the Burning Legion, this patron saint of the Sanara Desert is really a talent.
Anivia was stunned, "You think it's a good idea?"
"Even if it's an undead, it's a natural opposing camp with demons, and the enemy of the enemy is an ally, and at this critical moment, I don't think there's anything wrong with uniting all the forces that can be united to deal with the demon legion. β
"You should leave it to the council to elaborate. β
Anivia sighed, stretched out her hand, and immediately summoned a portal - although a magic array against spatial teleportation had been arranged in Lothern City, this was obviously nothing to Anivia, who was a veteran demigod.
His attainments in space spells are not much inferior to that of Lady Angelina, who does not use the Rainbow Bridge.
It is the accumulation that His long life has given Him.
And Ms. Angelina is now more than two hundred years old, which is equivalent to a fraction of Anivia's long life.
...
The meeting of the gods was held in an empty wilderness that looked rather rudimentary.
This is not the lair of a certain demigod, and there is no magic circle around it, so if there is an abnormality, each demigod can escape quickly and smoothly.
Obviously, the betrayal of Antonios, the archmage of the Empire, has raised the vigilance of these demigods.
Anivia was the first to speak: "First of all, as the initiator of the Council of the Gods, I am honored to convene the first Council of the Gods. β
"You've all been living in Calradia for an unknown number of years, so you don't need to introduce each other, do you?"
A demigod resembling a crocodile standing up on a human face grinned, "There is a new face, and he is the successor of Lady Lother Ennatha, the Red Knight?"
"That's right. β
"Fortunately. β
The demigods greeted him one after another.
They didn't underestimate Leon because his aura was relatively weak, after all, everyone could see that Leon was a true demigod who was qualified to be ranked here.
Moreover, as a well-known god of goodness, Ms. Nasha is fair and strict, and abides by the rules of knighthood, and has a pretty good reputation in the demigod circle of Calradia.
No one would embarrass His successor at such a critical juncture, and of course, not in high esteem.
A dark-skinned, black-armored humanoid demigod spoke: "Put aside those useless polite words, my proposal is very clear, that is, to awaken the army that has been dusted in the yellow sand for a long time, and only the undead who are tireless and have no desire to speak of can resist the demons." β
It is clear that he is the patron saint of the Sanara Desert, the one who raised the issue of this issue, Ion.
A patron saint of the northern frontier of the empire, a wrinkled tree elf elder, spoke: "I am against it, the dead are the enemy of all the living, no desire does not mean no instinct, and it is too dangerous for me to use the undead to fight demons. β
"That's right. Besides, those low-level undead may be indifferent and have no desires, but I don't believe that those once famous conquerors, ambitious and expanding tomb kings, they don't!"
Aion retorted: "No matter how great your desire is, it has disappeared without a trace if it has been buried in a coffin for thousands of years. β
Leon asked Anivia beside him, "Tell me about the so-called Tomb King, what is going on with the Undead Legion?"
"To the east of Lotherne, in the vast Sanara Desert, there are buried ancient civilizations of the last era, and legend has it that the king of them suffered a curse for trying to perform an ascension ritual to make the entire civilization soar to the astral plane and become the kingdom of God. β
Li Ang frowned and said, "There is still a legend for you?"
Anivia's age is no younger than that of Lady Nasha, and if it is still a legend to him, it has been quite a long time since now.
"That's right, it's been so long since the last epoch that even I was just an egg. The reason for the demise of the last epoch was a secret that even the gods knew - even those buried in the ground, the kings of the previous epoch did not know. β
Anivia shrugged her shoulders: "After all, it was the last emperor among them who launched the Ascension Ceremony, and he didn't have time to build a mausoleum for himself, and he didn't leave a corpse. β
Li Ang said thoughtfully: "In other words, the Tomb Kings in their mouths are the kings of the previous era, but how did they become undead and survive? This is already equivalent to another kind of eternal life, right?"
