Chapter 1947 Nobles, Do You Also Want to Side with the Magician? !
"Times have changed!"
"Times have changed!"
Gretel clenched his fists excitedly and waved slightly. At this moment, he seemed not to be in the Hall Strait, not in the world he traveled to, or even in the era before he traveled through it——
He seemed to have returned to that blazing era and heard with his own ears that deafening voice:
"...The era when you can conquer a country by setting up a cannon on the coastline is gone forever!"
Yes, gone forever. Over the years, compatriots who were driven from the mainland to an island country by the Glorious Holy See, who had no time to escape, and compatriots who unexpectedly awakened, were burned at the stake in batches;
The remaining magicians learned from the experience and embarked on the path of analyzing the fundamental laws of the world, promoting theoretical research and exchanging knowledge, establishing a magic parliament, and cultivating their own power on the island country;
Then one magician ascended to the legend, two ascended to the legend, the Tower of Babel was built, and the strength of the parliament began to expand;
In the end, the eighteen legends worked together to unite all forces in the Kingdom of Kent and drive the Glory Holy See out of the kingdom...
Then, finally, we came to today. The magicians can force the Glory Holy See to convene a joint meeting of the legends to discuss the Holy See's plan to subvert the noble territory——
Regardless of whether today's meeting can achieve its intended purpose, at the very least, convening such a meeting means that the Glory Holy See has lost.
Standing in the same venue as the Magic Council to discuss a certain issue means that the Holy See of Radiance regards the Council as an equal to itself, rather than as "evils", "heretics", or "sinners who should be burned at the stake" …
Grete thought with a smile. A hundred years later, if this meeting is written down in the history books, the evaluation in the books will probably be:
"The clarion call for the Magic Council to counterattack the Holy See..."
The Lord of Thunder glanced at him coolly. A stream of cold water poured over his head, Gretel quickly gathered his thoughts and looked at the venue:
This is just the beginning! Don't be too excited or distracted!
Every subsequent sentence, every word, every change in expression—even the disputes between the two parties and every collision of forces in the venue—are important information worth remembering and experiencing carefully!
Especially the collision of forces... Any change in the pattern is based on changes in the balance of forces.
Don't think this is just a war of words. I don't know how many strong people are fighting at the venue and outside the venue, using all their strength and courage!
"Ascan Territory, a small group of scum of the Holy See, a small group of degenerates with wavering beliefs, have committed wrong actions against you. In the name of the Lord of Radiance and the leader of the Holy Knights, I guarantee that this kind of There won’t be any more——”
[Pale Sword] Abby Lucio took a step and swore to the sky. Above his head and around him, the white flames swayed gently, surrounding him into a halo like holy light, and then gathered up and fell on him, forming a halo of oaths and spells.
During this time, he ran up and down at a high speed that he had never run in his life. First, quickly go north to Askan Territory to confirm the situation and clean up the mess——
There was no mess left to deal with. The leading figures in the Ascan Territory, no matter which side they were on, were all taken away by the Elf Ancient Tree. Ebi Lucio could only reluctantly ask the lower-level non-core personnel;
After receiving the notice, we rushed to Hall Strait to support the large-scale attack by the Magic Council;
Halfway through, I received news that the Glorious Holy See and the Magic Council would hold talks in Hall Strait. For this reason, he had to return to the whole team, lead a team of high-level paladins, go around and around, and pick up a dozen legends...
Regarding what happened in Askan Territory and everything the Glory Holy See did, he was half disapproving and half sad.
However, when [White Wolf] William clearly called out that he wanted to build a mage tower on his territory, he still couldn't agree at all. He stood up with his sword drawn and asked loudly:
"Even so, do you still want to betray the Holy See? Do you still want to go to the magician's side, and will you always betray the guidance of the Lord of Radiance?"
The surging anger and surging mental power rushed over together, and even his famous [Pale Sword] ignited with fierce white flames.
However, several legendary mages, led by the Lord of Thunder, snorted at the same time. The invisible force resists them, breaks them down, absorbs them, and digests them.
When the mental impact came to [White Wolf] William, it had transformed from a fine iron hammer of tens of thousands of pounds into a strong wind. The old lord who met it head-on only shook it for a moment before calmly shouldering it:
"Your guarantee? - Did you know when the Holy See attacked us? Did you stop it?"
He even broke away from his brother's supporting hands and took a big step forward:
"Whether you knew in advance but didn't stop it, or you didn't know in advance and didn't stop it, if it happens again, can we trust that you will know in advance, can you successfully stop it, and can you protect our safety?"
"I was unprepared before! - Now I have sworn that if something like this happens again and hurts the Askan Territory and the power of the oath backfires, I will fall directly! In this way, you can trust me, right? "
Gretel sighed softly. He had heard of the reputation of the [Pale Sword] more than once. This man was said to be innocent and upright, and would never kill innocent people with his sword——
Theoretically, his reputation and his life can be used to ensure the safety of Askan Territory.
And by risking his own life as a guarantee, His Excellency the Pale Sword, in addition to wanting to save the decline of the Holy See after this failed operation, also really felt deeply guilty and apologetic towards Askan.
But, but...
The arrow is on the string and must be fired. At this point, where can there be any room for retreat?
He could see clearly, and [White Wolf] William, a centenarian, could see even more clearly. The old man sighed deeply, made a fist with his right hand, beat his chest lightly, and lowered his head to the knight opposite:
"Your Excellency [Pale Sword], you are a true knight. Logically speaking, we should believe your guarantee. However, I want to ask you a question——
If a lord decides on the affairs of his own territory instead of obeying the orders of the Glory Holy See, is that equivalent to betraying the Lord of Glory? ! "
The Pale Sword lost its voice for a moment. From the perspective of justice in his heart, he really could not admit that betraying the Holy See was betraying the Lord of Glory. However, from a standpoint, he cannot openly stand on the side of "justification by faith"——
"heresy!"
Beside the Pale Sword, two Holy See legends emerged. The flames of light intertwined and burst out, but in an instant, they were blocked by the magician's power.
Throughout the venue, the air shook, twisted, and emitted a tragic whistling sound. The ground made of lava cracked and cracked with thin stone cracks, spreading in all directions.
Amidst the roar of the wind, Time Dragon Sainz turned over impatiently, and the tip of its triangular tail swayed. Opposite, a misty silver light shot out from the top of the cedar, flicked towards the center of the venue, and quietly intertwined with the power of time:
Silently, the conflict of forces subsided, as if nothing had happened.
[White Wolf] William sneered and said proudly:
“Gospel Chapter 22: Give to the Lord what is Lord’s, and give to the King what is king’s.
Article 51 of the Great Edict: The pope has the power to appoint bishops to religious posts, and the emperor has the power to appoint bishops to secular posts.
Article 28 of the "Golden Edict"..."
"Enough!!!" [Destined One] Paul said angrily. Except that he did not catch up with the founding of the "Gospel", the "Great Edict" was signed by him personally, and the "Golden Edict" was even signed by his descendants.
Are these crappy things also presented to him?
"In short, the Holy Scriptures and Hadith, as well as the covenant between the Holy See and the nobility, have always pointed out that affairs within the territory belong to the nobility, and only faith and preaching are within the scope of the Holy See's power."
[White Wolf] William refuted clearly word by word:
"To build a mage tower on the territory, or not to build a mage tower, that should be the power of the lord - the Glorious Holy See, and has no right to deprive it!!!"
There was a loud bang. The entire venue was shaking and swaying, as if this island made of volcanic lava had been cut off from the roots and began to drift with the water——
This time, not only the center of the venue, but also the outer edges of the venue, the surrounding sea, and the sky above began to shake violently.
In an instant, countless forces intertwined, collided, and attacked around him.
The waves were turbulent, with tens of meters high waves roaring and boiling, crashing onto the coast, crashing into the land, and hitting the invisible force field around the venue, forming a blue crystal-like wall;
The sky cracked open layer by layer, and colorful rays of light shot out. Behind the light, images of various mountains, cities, people, and stars appeared;
From time to time, power pours out and is annihilated before it reaches the venue...
Is this a fight?
Is this the official start? !
Gretel involuntarily took two steps towards the teacher, his head turning left and right, dizzying. The Lord of Thunder stood proudly, the small world around him opened slightly, and infinite lightning was about to shoot out:
"What do you think?"
Suddenly, a loud and deep voice came down from the top of the venue. In the sky, seven levels of Heaven Mountain are stacked up one after another. At the bottom of Heaven Mountain, a pair of radiant eyes opens:
"Are you also going to stand with Lord Askan and ask the lord to decide all rights in the territory, including building a mage tower?!"
His eyes dropped. The noble legends who stood on the side of the Glorious Holy See, whether they were from the Rhine Kingdom, the Brolin Kingdom, or even the previously independent Cape Kingdom, all felt their bodies sinking, as if they were carrying a heavy burden.
Now, is it time to stand up?
Is this a good time to step up?
Is building a mage tower and siding with the Magic Council a good thing or a bad thing for nobles like us? Will it make us better off, or put us in a more dangerous situation?
