Shaman from Afar

v6 Chapter 308: New rules

(First release, domain name (please remember _) text) The word is the most important)

After a careful selection in name and the enthusiastic recommendation of colleagues, it was actually the list that Dalton Kander had already laid down before, and the whole plan executive and nine wizards were finally freshly released.

First of all, the executor naturally need not say much, what is certain is that Loren Turin cannot have a second-besides him, there is no second wizard who can open the second valve at the moment.

Dalton, who is the head of the Freswick School, followed closely with Albert, the former wizard advisor of the imperial wizards—aside from the academic level, they are already the two "most capable" wizards in the empire. Too.

Later, there are three veterans of the Nine-Man Star Wizard Tower ... Although Dalton has tried to find a few "younger" among these top masters, the age of the three veterans together is unfortunately more than Three hundred years old.

The last four wizards are senior mentors from three places, all of which are casters who have studied spellcasting ... Two of them are the Royal Wizard College, one is from the wizard tower, and one is from Baine.

At this point, Dalton is also selfish-the Bain Wizard Guild with only one wizard is the most perfect spelling in the entire empire; but neither the Wizard Tower nor the Royal Wizard College There is room for blame, because Dalton himself is also on the list, and Byrne "contributed" even his own duke.

Isaac and the small wizard who also wanted to participate were beaten back by Dalton and ordered not to continue to intervene in this matter.

Especially Ain, Dalton even sent a spy around to monitor, to ensure that she would not "criminally commit a crime".

As for the task of protecting the nine wizards and executors, they were handed over to Baine ’s demon hunters and a group of ancient wood forest war dancers.

Outstanding in singles, the war dancers who are good at being outnumbered can be disguised as Azore elf warriors-throwing away some small details, the elves of the two ethnic groups are actually difficult to distinguish-to a certain extent You can confuse the enemy and buy time for action.

For this plan, Lucien focused on selecting nine soldiers who had participated in the previous battle of Ebden, or who had been in charge of the Ebden Intelligence Network as a night watchman, and let them learn and memorize the map of the underground passage through the night.

In fact, in the original plan, the work of the original demon hunter should be given to the Holy Cross Church oath knights; these warriors who have almost undead bodies and rich experience in "guarding" are the brandons. Preferred.

But all the vowed knights of the Holy Cross Church are now "shields of defense", and except for a group of soldiers who have been sacrificed at the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, all the shields of defense are bound by the vow of "guard the church" and stand Without the Basilica, they could not be blessed by the Holy Cross. In a sense, they might not be as good as ordinary knights.

After all, ordinary knights know how to avoid enemy attacks no matter how intrepid and fearless they are; while those who are protected by "gods" are not afraid of death at all, they have long forgotten to protect their vitality in battle.

The cathedral of Ebden was destroyed by the Azores, and even a brick was left. It was already dismantled and turned into their eagle king's court.

As for an entire empire, it may even be the only "sword of oath" in the world ... except for himself, there should be no idea where he is now.

Nine top wizards, nine war dancers, nine demon hunters, and an executor together form this team that prevents Rodria from using the last resort.

……………………………

"So, this is our last lesson?"

Pulling the curtain door tightly, the young priest Weber looked at the dark-haired wizard nervously with a strange and uneasy tone: "You are going to stop the prince of the Azores and use Ebden's power to destroy worldwide?"

"Uh ... it shouldn't be to the point of ruining the world."

Shaking his head, Loren looked at Weber strangely: "Who are you listening to?"

"Isaac told me, he said that I should have to know." The little priest replied honestly: "But rest assured, I know this matter is still a secret, and I won't tell anyone."

No, when Isaac knows something, it is no longer a secret.

Loren could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The little priest on the opposite side did not notice the change in the expression of the dark-haired wizard, and was still immersed in some kind of self-blame remorse: "When Isaac told me this, the emotion I first produced was not that I was worried for you. , But some kind of ... some kind of regret! Unfortunately I did n’t help you more. "

"It ’s like learning about the Old Scripture ... When Isaac told me, I even felt a trace of regret. Why do I have to wait until you have to master it as soon as possible to teach you reluctantly rather than more? Earlier; if you can master it already, it may greatly increase the success rate of this plan, not ... "

"Uh, Webber, you seem to have misunderstood something, I didn't ..."

"No, there is nothing to be misunderstood!" With a tone of unlimited self-blame, the little priest interrupted the black-haired wizard: "I just regret, regret every time you need help, always be hindsight. "

"So as a last bit of compensation, I want to tell you all about the" Old Classic ", Loren-this may not make much sense, but it is indeed my last, and I can do a little bit for you . "

Looking at the little priest's more serious expression, Loren also became serious.

"I listen to you."

Weber nodded slightly.

"For a while, I and Isaac both taught the alphabetic spelling of the" Old Classic "and some of its proverbs, and involved the most important" runes "and" vows "to the church— -The former is related to the existence of each cathedral, while the latter is related to the cornerstone of the church, the vowed knight. "

The pondering little priest raised his head: "But Loren, you know ... why did the church put the" Old Scripture "in the cabinet, and only a handful of members of the church contacted it, and created the scriptures today?"

The black-haired wizard raised a brow.

"I guess, first of all because the" Old Classic "itself has the effect of communicating with the Holy Cross ... Although it is minimal, in theory, as long as it is mastered, anyone can directly contact the Holy Cross without going through the church, which is contrary to The fundamental interests of the church as a spokesperson for the Holy Cross. "

Under the gaze of the little priest, Loren speculated: "In addition, the content and text of the" Old Classic "are too complicated to be understood by believers. A simpler and straightforward theory is needed to spread the faith ... ? "

Weber nodded.

"Sure enough, you, both the wizard and the duke, have a thorough understanding of these, even more so than ordinary church deacons." The little priest couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I sometimes can't help but guess, if we meet You did n’t appear as a wizard, but as a priest on that day. Maybe you are already a candidate for the Archbishop of Holy Cross. "

Loren, who just smiled, didn't take the priest's emotion seriously.

"... but, in addition to these, there is another very important reason."

The next second, the serious little priest said in a deep voice: "That is the meaning of the existence of the church, which is completely different from the past."

Is it completely different?

"Yes, strictly speaking, today's church, and the Holy Cross Church that first appeared in East Sackland with Queen Brunnhild, are two completely different organizations." The little priest nodded:

"Believe Loren, you already know that the earliest Holy Cross Church was brought by the dragon queen Brunnhild-to move the capital to Golovin, build an empire, use a sword to preach, defend against monsters, and destroy evil spirits ... Among the many important historical events, the Holy Cross Church played a key role. "

"And like I said before, the church in the past is more like a" tool "of the Holy Cross in a sense, unwaveringly carrying out every proverb in the" Old Classic ", making them sure to become The 'prophecy' that happened. "

The priest ’s gaze became extremely deep, as if returning to the era of the church ’s struggle with monsters: “The church at that time was very strong, and even exceeded the emperor in the heavenly palace to a certain extent, because the legitimacy of the emperor was given by them. of."

"After that, after only two generations, everything is different."

Webber, who shook his head, said nothing more.

He didn't have to talk anymore.

As the empire gradually stabilized, the concentration of power in the sky dome and the emperor step by step will naturally weaken the authority of the Holy Cross Church; after all, the true loyalty of the Duke is the empire, not the church but the emperor.

The church that established the empire gradually became a link to simply maintain the existence of the empire, allowing the Bain and Lotel to have the same beliefs and values, as well as the ultimate explanation of all problems in the world; and the church as an organization began to depend on the imperial power , Began to turn his attention to how to ensure his existence, seeking wealth, power and influence.

That ’s right, just like the priest that Loren once met in Gumu Town ... It ’s not so much a church member, it ’s more like a local lord, a landlord plus a tax officer, who is responsible for collecting taxes and managing land for the church. The Earl of Tyre or the tax collector in the capital is no different.

"But Archbishop Innocent today is extremely dissatisfied with all this." The priest whispered: "He is not only dissatisfied with the corruption and depravity of the church, he even wants to revive the church and let this organization Go back to the beginning of the establishment of the empire and become a loyal servant of Holy Cross! "

"I don't know what all this is for ... but no matter what, it should not be a good thing."

There was a worried look in the little priest ’s eyes: “Not only that, Archbishop Innocent has closed the Holy Cross Church in the capital and refused to contact the outside world ... This has been unheard of for hundreds of years Reason. "

The dark-haired wizard listening carefully, covering up the doubt in his eyes.

"As for why you must tell Loren you these ..." The little priest said softly: "Besides because these messages are important, there is also a reminder from Isaac."

"Isaac?"

"Yes, he once talked to me about ancient runes-I am a little curious, because the source of these magics, according to him, is actually something born out of the Old Classic."

The little priest silently said: "He told me that the ancient rune body represents a completely different way of understanding the world, and this is the basis of contact with the void world-because it is a space without space, and there is no time. The world cannot be understood according to the common sense of the past. "

"This gave me some inspiration, because I found that there is also such a set of rules in the text and spelling of the Old Classic."

The little priest who continued, did not notice that the expression of the dark-haired wizard in front of him changed: "It is different from the ancient runes that are full of randomness, just like we have learned, the rules and systems inherent in the text of the Old Classic Its spelling is also very rigorous, standard and regular, and this set of rules is very firm. "

"As a set of scriptures, each of its words seems to be singing and praying, writing sacred words with compassion or compassion."

But ... its text is full of reason, and even requires the writer to stay focused, without any emotional fluctuations, so as not to make mistakes in grammar and spelling, even the slightest tampering can cause a difference in meaning. Farewell! "

"I, I'm not a wizard, I don't know how to describe the difference; but in my opinion, it's simply, it's like constructing a whole world and the rules of the world with words!"

"Not only that, I also read my research and Isaac, he also agreed with this point-" Old Classic "text is full of mysterious, rigorous and complex rules, simply natural does not want others to be easy Understanding is the same as touching it.

And this is completely different from the original intention of any kind of text ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ because the text is used for communication and expression! "

The little priest with a slight meal said with a very positive tone: "So I came to a point that ... it may be a little outlandish, that is the real role of the Old Classic, or the reason for its birth, is A whole new set of rules. "

"It's a set of rules that didn't originally belong to this world, never appeared or even completely different from the current world!"

"This explains why for us, the Old Classic is so obscure; why Isaac emphasized that before learning it, the ancient runes must be left behind!"

"Because it is completely different, it is completely new, and it is completely different from all the rules that the world is running at present; in its rules, everything we have now is probably wrong and needs to be What breaks and destroys; only destroy everything, push it all over again, and build from scratch on new things ... "

"It's the world that fits its rules ..."
