Chapter 282
Golden's appearance even looks a bit old, only the pattern and nine-pointed star engraving on it can be discerned vaguely, and there is a gap at the edge of the cup.
This is the nine-pointed star holy grail, which opened the treasure of the "wizard era". Lay the foundation.
In the thirteen generations that followed the rise of the empire, the wizards quietly spread to every corner of the kingdom illuminated by the Holy Cross—either by enduring humiliation and burdening compromise, or by the exchange of equal interests, Or gradually control authority... In the eyes of jealousy, disgust, oppression, and worldly incomprehensibility, they survived and grew stronger.
Everything starts with this unremarkable vessel...
I looked at the holy grail, which was placed on the high platform, and was just as unremarkable as another fake "Holy Grail Hall", some The uneasy black hair wizard never left his gaze from Corona in front of him, looking at the wizard tower veteran who claimed to be "one year older than Freys Walker".
He felt some scalp tingling.
The wizard in front of him is different from Dalton, Peter and even all the wizards he has ever encountered-even if they are smart, cunning, vicious, kind, and forbearing... but they all have one characteristic, That is, they are all "wizard".
It's better to say that they all look at the problem from the identity and perspective of a "wizard". Most of them are incompetent. Only when the bottom line is tolerated will they rise up and try to maintain a more stable situation. , So that they can devote their energy to research and study.
But Corona is different.
Everything that happened after he arrived in Eboden... No, his plan had already begun before he came here, and the steps were detailed, the structure was precise, and the structure was flexible; it was like a picture The huge net encompasses the entire Eboden!
Discover the Holy Grail, work with Ariel, persuade the tower of the wizard, entrap Alto Bellini, and use the Holy Cross Church, the night watchman, the empire, and even myself...Almost all involved in this dispute The forces in China are fighting each other for the same goal he set.
He designed this "Holy Grail War" in one hand!
This patriarch of the Corona family was the first wizard that Loren met to talk about "strategy".
It means that he is more dangerous than all the enemies he has encountered.
"Before everything started, I must admit that I did not expect that the person who came here was you-I made a mistake in Asriel's judgment. I did not expect that they actually rely on the same'legend' There are two Evil Gods."
Corona sighed with self-deprecation: "In the original plan, it should be the adult Farnesis bishop who came here."
"Go on, I guess you would really like to talk about this topic." Loren couldn't help but sneered: "Such a complicated and rigorous plan, but there is no one to show off—it must feel uncomfortable."
"I’m not sure if I want to show off, but you’re right. I can’t tell others-I can’t even write it down or think about it, otherwise there is a risk of being noticed."
The young Corona smiled humbly: "But I don’t think two youngsters would like to hear an old man talk, so I won’t talk more about the original plan, anyway, it’s already gone. Meaning."
"You were taken away by Evil God, and Farnesis managed to find here. The nine-pointed star wizard tower that defeated me will also collapse with it, and Evil God, who is too late to leave, also Farnesis bishop, who will fall into the void with them and destroy the Holy Grail, is here to dedicate his life heroically and fearlessly.
This is the ending I designed...Unfortunately, there is no chance to achieve it again."
Loren is slightly frowned, and the little wizard behind him grabbed his cuffs, looked at the youngster in shock, and said such terrible things in a chattering tone!
The black hair wizard is silent, waiting for Corona to continue.
"In short, the whole thing is very complicated. There are many coincidences and accidents, but the final outcome really exceeded my expectations." Corona, who sat across from them, said softly: "At first it was just It is hoped that the Bellini family’s rule in Eboden can be defeated, but the changes in things have allowed me to see more probabilities and even achieve a goal that could not be achieved."
"That, that is What?"
The little wizard opened the mouth and said tremblingly, and Loren felt her hand tightening her sleeve slightly.
Corona on the opposite side showed a very bitter but very emotional expression:
"It is to make Holy Cross Church truly believe that the wizards are no longer threatening. That's it!"
The two of them were stunned almost at the same time.
"This is a'war' that has spread for hundreds of years and has not stopped since the beginning of the wizard era. At least Holy Cross Church is called that. The wizard from Lothar should I have more experience-strict prohibition, unhuman persecution, and worldly cold eyes and contempt."
Corona’s tone revealed a deep sorrow: "In my In the age of the fathers, it was not just Lothair, but the normal state of the entire empire!"
"However, this situation has been greatly improved in recent decades. More affluent and open The region began to no longer have discrimination and cold eyes, but regarded the wizard as a type of scholar; the nobles also began to favor the wisdom of the wizard, even the Imperial Capital also owns the wizard Academy belonging to the Imperial Family, and the entire wizard world is gradually Accepted."
Black hair wizard nodded, this kind of feeling he has the most profound experience in Eboden, the identity of wizard here is almost the same as that of aristocracy.
He vaguely guessed the other party's purpose, but... in order to make the church no longer think the wizards are a threat, it must destroy the nine-pointed star chalice?
This is simply unimaginable!
"Holy Cross Church regards the wizard as a threat. The reason is that the nine-pointed star chalice is the valve of the void and the real world, and this power is a hidden danger to the existence of the Holy Cross-this The actual'threat theory' unites the entire church and resists the entire wizard group regardless of factions."
"So you think that if the Holy Grail is destroyed, the church can be divided because of it?" Loren is incredible Looking at him: "Or do you think they can reconcile with the wizard and create a better tomorrow?"
"No, that is absolutely impossible." Corona lightly saying: "But Losing one goal will make Holy Cross Church relax their vigilance and make them ignore another'threat'."
"What threat?"
"The church and the wizard, two The natural opposition between the whole-this is the real contradiction between the two, not because the nine-pointed star Holy Grail or the wizards do not believe in gods, it has nothing to do with those."
He slowly shook the head "The contradiction between the two is natural. The strength of one side inevitably represents the weakness of the other. Many wizards bless the naive illusion that the church can accept us. As far as I know, the church seems There are similar innocent voices too."
"Are you also saying something just now,'Let the church no longer use the wizard as a threat.'?" Loren asked sarcastically, "Isn't it the same innocence?" "
"And this is what I said, the real threat." Corona shook his head dismissively: "You think, if the nine-pointed star Holy Grail is the beginning of everything, then why did you Didn’t your church destroy the original'wizard tower'?"
Loren dumbfounded.
"They were extremely weak back then, so weak to the point of sadness, why were they not destroyed by the church? Why were they able to struggle on whilst at death's door, until today they have grown to the point where they will not be easily defeated "
The atmosphere gradually fell silent, and the eyes of the three people involuntarily turned to the nine-pointed star holy grail placed there-the answer lies in it.
"It's very simple, because the church back then was strong enough to be confident that a small group of wizards were fundamentally impossible to resist—the only outcome of using the Holy Grail was to make them the mortal enemy of the entire empire, and then die without a burial site.
They are right.
A sacred relic, a seemingly powerful weapon, is not enough to make wizards stand up; what makes us stand up is What we become strong and indestructible is ourselves."
Corona spoke, and his voice suddenly began to grow old: "This is the natural threat of the wizard to the church, and the real There are very few people in the church who are aware of this."
"Because they represent the past, and we represent the future...
As it should be, the past must Make way for the future!"
