Chapter 813
"You are nervous."
With a questioning tone, Dalton Kander watched his apprentice indifferently: "Corona?"
p>
In the words of the instructor, there will never be a lot of words, and a lot of words will be concise and concise.
Loren sighed, slightly nodded, with an uncertain expression: "I want to know, what is the purpose of such a large wizard tower?"
Huh?
Dalton squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes a little playful: "Corona said, you will understand."
"Yes, I understand what is going on. But...this is different from what we said at the beginning!" Loren frowned, who gradually became sober, said in a deep voice: "Don't you feel anything strange?"
Because of being Charlotte's "achievement" I was blind, and I had a similar "appointment" with Corona as early as Eboden, so that Loren didn't think much about it.
Build a library, a wizard Academy, six associations, a large and small alchemy workshop within three years, not counting the alchemy workshop project after three years...
Where is the wizard to support Byrne? This is obviously to copy Eboden to Byrne in its entirety!
Because of the eager desire to join forces with the wizard tower, Charlotte was blinded for a while; she can only understand that the wizard tower is expanding her power, but she has never thought about what this whole set of things means.
In the short term, it may only increase the influence and status of the wizard in Byrne; but in the long run, Eboden’s original position as the headquarters of the wizard world will be challenged within a few years; With the traditional Chamber of Commerce system, Byrne can easily cultivate his own free aristocratic power.
Could Corona not see the threat to Eboden and the tower of the wizard? Of course he could... Then why did he do this? !
Detecting the apprentice's reaction, Dalton is also thinking about this issue quickly.
So, the objections that I heard when I was in Eboden were not rumors, but did it happen?
That's right, such blunt's support of Byrne's wizard class is tantamount to creating an opponent; whether it is the consul of Eboden or the leader of the wizard tower, its status will be challenged.
After all, the sizes of the two duchy are completely different; as long as they get technical support, it is only a matter of time before Byrne surpasses Eboden; if not because the Imperial Capital wizard Academy only has the strongest alchemy and the status of the wizard tower It should have been challenged long ago.
Now to support Byrne on a large scale, it is tantamount to worsening the situation.
"No matter what his purpose is, you are the direct beneficiary." Dalton immediately grasped the point: "Seizing the opportunity can greatly enhance the power in your hands."
"As for its fundamental purpose...If you can't know it, you can't stop eating because of choking."
Looking at the instructor’s calm expression, Loren slightly nodded.
Although the attitude is still as indifferent as before, Mentor Dalton Kander is still standing on his own point of view, considering issues for himself and even Byrne, instead of putting the wizard tower first.
At the moment I met the mentor, the black hair wizard did worry about this problem... After all, he was the messenger of the wizard tower, and it was hard for Loren not to think so.
Now it seems that I am worried.
"Then...the reunion will stop here."
At this moment, the expressionless Dalton interrupted his thoughts: "About Farnesis and the unknown Evil God...how much do you know?"
Loren was slightly surprised, but then calmed down.
Since here, Dalton · Kander...or the former night watchman, how could he not understand the situation at all, or even just consider it a mission?
As for the reason for the inquiry-Dalton · Kander, when has he ever talked nonsense about this kind of thing?
The black hair wizard speaks slowly, shook the head: "I only know that the nine-pointed star holy grail is not their only goal, it may even be just a means to achieve the goal; the real intention... until now, it is difficult to judge ."
frowned, Dalton fell into deep thought.
"Only one thing is certain." Loren's tone became more and more solemn: "Whatever it is, Farnesis...or the Evil God behind him, intends to achieve it through the most direct violent means. His purpose."
"Eboden, Duanjie Mountain, Scarlet Blood Fort, Big Green Sea, Silver Helmet Mountain... They are constantly trying to resurrect the Evil God, who has long since disappeared from this world. Or simply corrupting a tribe to weaken the power of all parts of the empire."
"There is no longer any need to preach in the Holy Cross, and the original contradiction has gradually transformed into internal fighting between Duchy and the empire. Today, when we face Evil God and monsters, we are even more powerless than the elves of the ancient wood forest."
"Because...most people have long forgotten how to fight them."
From beginning to end, the tutor did not refute, let alone interrupt Loren.
"It doesn't matter if I am naive, making trouble or disregarding the form; the current situation is that there is an opponent who knows us, but we don't have too many means to check and balance him."
Speaking of this, Loren couldn't help but chuckled: "At the moment we are already seriously unequal in strength. If we are not wary of the enemy anymore."
"Maybe we will die in the end. I don’t know how it died."
Think about the end of Silverhelm Mountain, the ending of the Centaur tribe... These forces that were originally strong and could even face a Duchy face-to-face confrontation, they all ended up in the end. Unclear.
Without guarding the premise, the ordinary person has any power to defend against the impossible of the Evil God apostle; and when it is possible to prevent himself from being old fart, and even immortal, the "magic modified version" holy blood potion is placed In front of them, most people didn't have much thoughts of resistance.
Dalton · Kander stared solemnly: "So, what are your thoughts?"
Looking at the mentor, the black hair wizard suddenly smiled and shook his head.
"To be honest, the first thing I thought of was Holy Cross Church—compared to the wizard, the Knights who believe in the vows of the Holy Cross are the most suitable force against the Evil God apostles!"
p>As soon as the words were spoken, Loren immediately echoed the silhouette of the vow Knight, as well as the "shields of defense" fighting in the glacier wasteland.
Speak frankly, the overwhelming majority wizard is actually not suitable for battlefields, and even less good at fighting-putting a sword in the hand of an ivory tower wizard who is proficient in mysticism or alchemy does not change him at all. The fact that if you have killed someone, you may be dizzy when you see blood.
Combined with their respective expertise, the role they can play on the battlefield may be less than one ten thousandth of that in the laboratory.
"But with the current relationship between me and the church, I am afraid that even if they are willing to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, they will not listen to me." With a hint of regret, the black hair wizard said casually:
p>"So, I can only think of another way."
Dalton raised his eyes, his expression like ice seems to never change: "So what you need is a regular Combining with unconventional power, it can pose a threat to the battle strength of the Evil God apostle."
"For example...the wizard who has mastered the valve."
Loren looked at his mentor, Hesitate to speak and stop.
For the wizards, the valve is the highest level, which only the veterans can grasp, and even the secrets that should be avoided by the church as much as possible; because it means not only the power of the gods, but also the presence An abyss of danger.
Even if you are proficient in it and can be used successfully, there will still be irreversible consequences.
But...
Hesitated for a moment.
"Teacher, please tell me a question truthfully." Loren lifts the head, looking at Dalton solemnly: "The mastery of valves...what level have you reached?"
"The first valve, getting started."
Looking at the apprentice with complicated eyes, Dalton said solemnly: "The time to contact the valve is not much earlier than you."
"I know what you want to say, apprentice, but the accomplishments of the Fresswalker school in mysticism are not what you can imagine; we have enough means to minimize irreversible side effects."
"even more how as you said, in the face of the Evil God apostles and their monsters, if there are not enough threats, the ordinary person is basically impossible to resist them."
Looking at the teacher’s expression as always , Loren's brow furrowed tighter.
What will happen to the "ordinary" person who opens the valve, Harlem Van Ashamai has already told him with facts.
This sturdy man is comparable to a giant, experienced and knowledgeable Master Alchemist who has survived many times on the battlefield, but at this time is like an old man suffering from illness, even walking needs someone to support him, one day Waking up for less than four hours.
According to the little wizard, his state will last for at least half a year; even if he is cured, his body will definitely be no more.
"so that's how it is..."
Huh?
"I really want to understand..." Dalton looked at Loren and said firmly, "Corona has tried his best to support Byrne's reasons."
Loren's gaze was lost in thought.
Yes, if this is the case, it makes a little sense; if it is to respond to the threat of "Black Cross" Seror, it is indeed worth the price.
Even if it caused the decline of the status of the wizard tower, or even caused the division and confrontation of the wizard class, it is 10,000 times better than being completely wiped out.
Through the purposeful support of Byrne, the wizards originally studied separately can also be gradually concentrated to serve certain tasks; but within time, it can also quickly improve the wizard tower’s research and Rapid progress in applications.
For example, the methods and methods specifically for the void life, the alchemy and ancient rune applied to war, and even...the high-level spells specifically used for combat; these techniques that were not valued in the past are just You can enter the state of rapid research and development.
But Loren always felt that the reason why Corona did this might be more than these; he faintly remembered the vow that he had been invited by Eboden to go to the Misty Sea before, Knight.
Did the wizard really find something?
Loren sighed, looking at the instructor earnestly: "But even if the wizard tower can do everything, it is still not enough."
"The battle of the centaur, we finished the wave All of Iraq’s elite, Byrne’s expeditionary army suffered more than half of the casualties, the Master of Ashmael almost died, and finally still defeated-this is because the empire’s support was timely!"
"Even if the empire is controlled In addition to the valve, even the wizards that may master the valve are all counted, not even fifty; not to mention that in terms of combat experience, many of them may not even be as good as Isaac."
Dalton squinted. Closed eyes.
"As a force, the wizard tower is not an army nor a faction. She is closer to an academic exchange institution-which means that she is bound to the wizards, especially the older ones with strength and qualifications. The power is very poor, and it is impossible for them to obey the orders obediently."
shook the head, the black hair wizard is still quite unoptimistic about this prospect: "And our current needs are very urgent. "
Dalton looked at him, as if he had already thought of something.
"So, in addition to unconventional forces, you also need a group of conventional forces that can fight against the enemy and quickly take shape." Dalton coldly said: "You need a group of people who have the most basic understanding of Void Power , Capable of dealing with them and even fighting frontally."
"They need to master certain countermeasures skills, have the most basic knowledge of monsters and Evil God; be equipped with a certain level of alchemical weapons, and have spell studies And the knowledge of ancient rune, proficient in raids, tracking, anti-tracking, stealth operations, frontal combat and killing skills."
"So, what you need is a group of wizards with a certain level of wizardry, and excellent strength. Hunting for Fiend, right?"
"Teacher, you don't actually need to..." Loren just wanted to say something when Dalton reached out and stopped.
"Before I see you, I have a little bit of information, and you seem to have begun to prepare." The indifferent Dalton said calmly: "Very well, after I officially become your wizard consultant, this I will treat it as a first-class major event, and start training as soon as possible, so that this group of people can form a battle strength."
"As a former night watchman, I think I still have some experience in training newcomers. "Dalton raised his gaze, and took a look at his apprentice:
"Or, do you have a more suitable candidate than me?"
How could it be...
Loren, with a complicated expression, was about to speak, and was interrupted by his mentor again.
"I know what you are thinking, but those are not what you should think about now, and should be considered." Dalton stood up and shook his head slowly:
"Loren Torino …You are no longer the Knight's attendant with nothing, no longer an apprentice who can be used and abandoned at will, let alone a wandering wizard who can leave the collapsed situation and leave alone."
" There is a certain element of luck in this, but there are also your own reasons; a person who is good at profiting for himself, never considering the consequences, and achieving his goals by fair means or foul, is placed in the position of saving the entire empire. "
"Loren · Torino, if you don't want to kill everyone, you take the responsibility!"
Dalton ·Kander stood in front of the door, his right hand pressed on the door Turning on the hand, without looking at the apprentice who stood up and looked at him behind him; his trembling shoulders seemed to hesitate for a long time before he said a word before pushing the door and leaving: "Let me leave, Duke."
