Chapter 901 "Huer" Discussion
The "Hull" manor is located on the edge of the forest and is a resting place for the Hoffenberg family to hunt in the summer, when it is early spring and there are no guests, so even the servants seem sparse, secluded and peaceful.
The study in the main house of the manor was the place where King Hoffenberg handled official business when he hunted, and was protected by a strict magic circle, but at this time, there were three magicians under the protection of the magic circle.
Douglas secretly lived here as a royal guest, and the magic robe on his body had to become the most popular turtleneck jacket today, which made him quite unaccustomed to it and felt that it was too ostentatious.
"Did you arrange for Douglas to hide here?" It was inconvenient to talk outside, and several people entered the study, and Fernando casually asked Hathaway, trying to figure out what she meant or the "Sword of Truth".
Although he had no time to take care of the scene in the sky during the previous war, since His Excellency the "Lord of Death" and the "Ice Witch" fell, the "Sword of Truth" and the "Heart of Time" were alive and well, it was not difficult for him to guess the scene at that time, it must have been the betrayal of these two noble knights!
This loss was more than Fernando could bear, leaving an indelible mark in his heart, and he couldn't believe it more and more noble knights.
Hathaway nodded lightly: "Me."
Although she is a nobleman, she has become a magician, and with years of friendship, Fernando trusts her more.
Sharp chuckled: "You think Hathaway's affairs can be hidden from His Majesty the King, but he deliberately pretended not to know, hey, this time this matter is really forced by the situation, no nobleman wants the church to completely destroy the magicians' power, just like Douglas said, from now on, our conflict with the church will become more and more intense."
He was a little hesitant about the future.
Douglas calmly sat down on the mahogany high-back chair, and said in a calm voice: "The Earth Mother Goddess is still there, the Church of the Different Gods is still there, Dracula is still there, the silver moon is still there, the dark mountains are still there, the endless ocean is still there, the church is still far from the point where it can abandon the nobles, but after the coalition army is defeated, it is already difficult for them to hold back most of the power of the church, and the church's control over its own rule area will reach its peak, you must be prepared, be patient."
Although he was describing a bad situation, it made Fernando and Sharp feel slow down and no longer so hesitant.
Is it the power of legend to influence the surroundings, or has Douglas grown into such a charismatic leader? Fernando quietly flashed this question in his heart.
"What I am afraid of is that patience is useless." After Sharp calmed down, he expressed his inner worries, which were his worries, and they were also the "sword of truth", and they belonged to the vast majority of nobles, because they could not see any hope of victory.
Douglas picked up the elegant white glazed cup next to him, took a sip of plain water, and continued to say in a calming voice: "It can be seen from the previous battle examples that after the 'Divine Descent Technique', the Pope must have time to recover, in the terminology of our magicians, that is, the buffer time of this divine technique is very long.
"'Silver Moon' Aitna resisted the 'Divine Descent Technique' and did not die, but was seriously injured and escaped, which shows that the 'Divine Descent Technique' can still be blocked, if he recovers, we will find a way to let the 'Lord of Hell' or 'Abyssal Will' descend, and we may not be able to besiege the Pope."
This is an obviously easy analysis, but it is difficult for people who are hesitant and desperate to calm down and think, and their smart minds are shrouded in fog and cannot see anything outside of themselves.
Listening to Douglas' slow analysis, Sharp's mood became calmer and calmer, as if he had found the confidence he had lost for a long time.
"It can summon the 'Lord of Hell' or 'Abyssal Will' to descend, which requires complicated rituals and great costs, and is easily discovered by the church and destroyed in advance. Sharp expressed his thoughts.
"Hmph, coward." Fernando glanced at Sharp disdainfully, "Although the 'Abyssal Will' is crazy, we can prepare in advance and induce him to 'move' in the direction we want."
As a mage born in a magical empire, Fernando has no objection to summoning devils and demons, but he doesn't like these stupid evil guys very much.
Douglas smiled and said, "I may have to go to hell and talk to the 'Lord of Hell', he is a god-like who is rational and knows how to analyze and weigh the pros and cons, maybe we can find a way to make it easier for him to come, to be honest, I have never had a good impression of blood sacrifice."
After being promoted to legend, without the help of the directional "Gate of the Other World", he could still travel to Xenospace.
"Wait for now, I think in terms of the value of "Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy", you should be able to be promoted again soon." Fernando felt that it would be better for Douglas to go to hell after being a little stronger, so that the "Lord of Hell" would not look down on such a "weak" collaborator.
"There is no conflict between improving strength and going to hell." Douglas nodded, "According to my estimate, I will be able to reach the third level in about twenty or thirty years, and my combat power is not bad."
He set his sights on Sharp: "This road is very dangerous and difficult, but if you don't do it, there is no hope at all.
"Actually, the current situation is not too bad, hehe, I mean for you magicians, since the fall of Alto and the fall of the 'Death Lord', the upper echelons of the church have not paid much attention to magicians, and the main focus is on the Church of Different Gods and dark creatures, which means that the hunting and strangulation you encounter will be much lighter than before." Sharp talked about the important changes he felt during this time.
Douglas smiled self-deprecatingly: "Weak also have weak benefits."
Fernando interjected with contempt: "I originally thought that after Ivan failed to become pope, he would have a conflict with Gregory, but who knows, he is like a sheep."
"The power of the clergy comes from the 'God of Truth', if you rebel against the Pope chosen by the 'God of Truth', it is equivalent to rebelling against God, no clergy dares to do such a thing, then there will be no companions, no supporters, and it is said that the Pope has a method called 'extermination', which can cut off the connection between the clergy and the 'God of Truth', so that their 'heart of faith' becomes a pure consumable and unreplenished thing, so how dare Ivan directly conflict with Gregory?" Douglas shook his head.
Hathaway suddenly spoke and said coldly: "There is a punishment."
"There really ......" Douglas nodded solemnly, "However, we don't have to be disappointed, Ivan may not have a direct conflict with Gregory, but it doesn't mean that he is unwilling to cause trouble for Gregory and establish enemies.
The four of them discussed for a long time and determined many plans for the future, and Fernando once again felt the passion, which was the feeling he had when he first joined the "Magicians United Union".
Douglas patted his clothes, stood up and said, "Fernando, you have just recovered from a serious injury, take a rest first, and when you are free, we will exchange magic knowledge."
"Well, when the time comes, I will discuss with you "The Mathematical Principles of the Philosophy of Magic", which is definitely the most brilliant and brilliant book in the history of magic." Fernando, who owed his mouth, did not skimp on his praise.
Douglas smiled: "I'm very happy to get such an evaluation from you, and I'm proud of my work, but the more things I research, the more I have doubts, hehe, the unknown is always so intoxicating, what is gravity, what is its essence......"
This...... The height and depth of such questions made Fernando and Hathaway stunned, and they didn't know how to answer, only Sharp, who didn't understand the arcane, shrugged his shoulders, walked to the window, and opened the curtains.
The clear and pure sunlight poured in from outside the house, making everything golden and brilliant, and before you knew it, it was already dawn!
"Fernando, I need your help in contacting other magicians and trying to re-establish a union."
"Don't call the union, I will think of the old fox, call the Continental Magicians United Council."
"I'm fine."
"It's not very nice......" Hathaway commented in a very soft voice.
…………
Erica looked at the magicians around her with despair and powerlessness written on their faces, her heart was extremely heavy, she was only a small organization, and it was really difficult to deal with such storms.
She retracted into the room, sat on the bed with her knees crossed, thought for a moment, and pulled out a book with a black cover from the storage bag, which had been sent by Mr. Douglas from the last correspondence, but she had never found time to read it because the situation took a turn for the worse and the organization was busy transferring.
Opening the book, Erica read it seriously, with unconscious adoration.
Although she had not yet mastered the calculus taught in Mr. Douglas's usual letters, this did not prevent her from roughly understanding the content of the third article.
"Gravitational ......"
"Is this the string of the goddess of magic?"
"Is this the true face of this world?"
"Magic is countless times more magical than I imagined!"
She was caught in a stormy sea, unaware that the "Cursed Eye" Atlante had arrived and was preparing to incorporate their small organization.
…………
With a squeak, a girl in a long court dress pushed open the door of the room, and the candlestick in her hand lit up the dimly lit room.
A tall and thin young man was looking back at her with a face full of horror, holding a heart in his hand, and a mutilated corpse was placed in front of him.
The candlestick fell to the ground, and the beautiful girl covered her mouth and said in disbelief: "You, are you a magician?"
"No, no......" The young man turned pale and shook his head in panic, but he couldn't answer the question.
…………
A frivolous whistle with a melody sounded on the boulevard, and a young man with black hair and eyes walked happily, his facial features were handsome, and he had a unique bookish atmosphere, which particularly attracted the attention of ladies.
"This drama is so bad, it's not as good as I thought in my brain!" He tsk-tsk, and at the same time replied: "Mrs. Audrey is so enthusiastic and hot......"
Suddenly, a man in his thirties ran over from the corner and said in a panic: "Run away! Escape from the city! The Viscount knows that you have slept with Lady Audrey!"
"What?" The young man's face turned white, and the feeling of chatting dissipated, he took the package, turned around and ran away.
When he escaped from the city, it was the time when the sun set.
"It's so beautiful!" He gradually regained his composure, stopped panicking, and laughed, "It just so happens that I have always wanted to go to Rentatt, but I want to be the man who is the greatest playwright!"
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the black-haired boy blew a cheerful whistle again.
