The cold light sprinkled on the many flowers blooming in the small garden, giving them a hazy beauty.
Balussien walked side by side with Rhein on the garden path, and after a brief silence asked directly, "Mr. Rhein, can you tell me where the Magic Parliament headquarters is?"
"Where do you think it will be?" Rhein, with a faint smile, asked Lucien.
Balussian thought about it and answered, "I think it's deep in the dark mountains or on the other side of the mountain, because the church's westward advance ended earlier."
Rhein hesitated: "If you go to the dark mountains, you can only find those gloomy and crazy ancient magicians. Although they are powerful, many are high-level, and even have masters and legendary magicians, but they are slightly different from them. You will become their experiment, and then you will either get uncontrollable power, or your whole body will collapse and die. And the creatures of the Dark Mountains are not comparable to the beasts and low-level magical creatures of the Melzer Black Forest. With your own strength, you will go deeper and survive for no more than ten days. "
Sure enough, there are remnants of ancient magicians in the dark mountains.
Balussian affirmed one of his speculations: "Mr. Rin, is the headquarters of the Continental Magic Parliament in a certain country? Believe in the northern sect or other gods?
"Wrong answer, in a country that believes in Southern theology." Rhein seemed to think of something funny and shook his head again and again. "You should have heard its name, Holm Kingdom. The specific place is Hol Kingdom. The floating city 'Allinge' near the capital Rantat. "
"Allinge, the meaning of 'sky' in the ancient Sylvanus language." Lucien first read the words habitually and then looked at Rhine with surprise: "The Kingdom of Holm? Runtat? Mother Natasha From where? "
And this country still believes in the God of truth! How did Archduke Vaurit visit this country?
"Isn't Prince O'Walit's love already a story narrated throughout the continent? I have sung and told several different things." Rin laughed very interestingly, "but there is no poem, no one The story can tell exactly what evil forces are blocking them. "
Balussian asked in confusion: "Is it the Continental Magic Council? Why is there such a strange situation?"
Rhein smiled and looked at Lucien: "If you have learned about governance, you will understand that this is a political issue in the mainland.
Everything comes down to the balance needed to balance the nobility. "
"Balance?" Lucian asked pretendingly, but he was thinking, "Actually, I have a lot of textbooks on international politics. Do you need to take a look?"
Knowing that the headquarters of the Magic Council was not in a terrifying place, Lucian relaxed a lot.
Rhein surpassed Lucien by half a body and slowly walked forward: "When the dawn of the war two hundred years later, the strength and authority of the church reached its peak. Regardless of whether it was the poor or the emperor, they had to tremble when facing the pope. Kiss the tip of this godspeaker. During that time the church was free to abolish the counts, marquises and dukes, and even the emperor of the Holy Hertz Empire. Therefore, no one dared to offend the majesty of the church. "
"So there was the support of the aristocracy behind the split of the church into the north and the south at the highest religious conference?" Lucien woke up to why the cardinals could be followed by almost all the nobles in the north.
Rhein turned his head and looked at Lucien: "Very keen. Lucien, you're right. When some cardinals planned to overthrow the Pope for some reason that no one knew, the nobles in their country didn't hesitate. Joined this conspiracy. But these nobles deliberately leaked some news in advance, so that the pope was prepared to not be overthrown, and developed into a state of north-south division. After all, for the nobles in the north, if this cardinal overthrew the pope, Control the situation of their church and it will not change substantially. "
"With the separation of North and South, and the strengths of the two sides are not much different, the power of the aristocracy has become the most important basis on the balance, and it will never be taken away by life and death." Lucien said along with Rhein's words.
Rhein shook his head with a smile: "The strength of the church in the north is very different from that in the south. But the elf countries, dwarven countries, and other god-believing countries in the northwest of the Dark Mountains. How can magical creatures and remnants of the dark mountains watch? The church in the north was destroyed. They joined the game and formed a situation where the south strongly attacked the north and reluctantly supported it. "
但这 "But this is different from the current situation? Now it seems to be a balance of power, and the northern fortresses have once fallen." Lucian seriously thought, "So at that time the church split again? Holm Kingdom supports the magic council?"
Rhein was slightly surprised: "You are really good at learning and thinking about Lucien. Yes, after seeing that the status and identity of the northern nobles have greatly improved, the southern nobles also have ideas about their situation. Most of them choose Negotiate with the church, and a small part embarked on the path of secretly fostering magical forces, using their strength against church forces in their kingdom, and balancing themselves in the middle to fight for the right to speak. "
"This small part is the aristocracy of the four kingdoms across the Strait of Storms, but they made the mistake of not expecting that a great mage named Douglas actually made changes to the ancient magic system at this time, purely imitated by grass. Magical creatures are on the way to study the laws of the operation of all things. Under the leadership of Douglas, the strength of the magic council is the growth of geometric progression, and powerful magicians and legendary magicians are constantly appearing. Several major integrations were integrated more than 100 years ago. After concealing the magic organization, the Continental Magic Council has swelled into the second largest force in the entire world. "
"This is a change that the nobles of the four kingdoms such as Holm did not expect when they began to support them."
Lucian heard the familiar name: "Mr. Douglas? I know him." Lucian didn't ask Douglas if he was alive, because a magician as powerful as him must have countless ways to extend his life. The millennium is completely unproblematic. For example, the "lich transformation ritual" recorded in Lucien's "Book of Astrology and Elements" can be performed after becoming a high-level magician. Once successful, the life span is extended to at least 1,500. year.
"Mr. Douglas is one of the top ten powerhouses in the world, the first great arcanist, the chairman of the Continental Magic Council, and the founder of the" Arcane "journal." Even the mysterious man Rhein, There is also a touch of awe when referring to Douglas, "Therefore it is a situation where several forces are balanced and the nobles benefit from it. Oh, in Holm Kingdom, the magician is already a semi-public identity, although the church has a considerable strength It was concentrated there, but it was also suppressed very miserably. If it was not for the help of the aristocracy, it would have been uprooted by the magic council. "
Lucien probably understood the situation today: "That ’s why the church allowed nobles of the rank of Grand Duke Vaurit to visit the Kingdom of Holm. It seems that they want to draw the noble power of the Kingdom of Holm completely. Hehe , Grand Duke Vaurit is 'done'. "
"The Grand Duke did not think of it this way. The aristocrats of the western mainland, southern countries and the Holy Hertz Empire were hailed as the most extreme and conservative Pro-Churchists. You can imagine the sensation of the marriage at the time. Although most of Hall The aristocrats of the Kingdom of Mum understand the situation on the mainland, but they will definitely choose to be loyal to their lords. This is not because they have noble character, but because if the nobles cannot unite by following the most basic rules of loyalty to their lords, they will already be magical councils Splitting up with the two huge forces of the church and swallowing them, how could they make them dangerously balanced. "Rin laughed slightly ironically.
Then he made a downward gesture: "Well, you don't need to know complicated things to your strength, what you need to consider now is how to get to Holm Kingdom.
The Tornado Strait has been blocked by the church, and only nobles and merchants who have been allowed to go, and the inspection is extremely strict. Of course, you can also cross the area where the church confronts the north and the south, and then cross the Shahran Empire to the north, and go from the north to the north of Holm Kingdom. The only problem is that the church confrontation is more strict than the Strait of Storms. Even the nobles and big businessmen could not pass. "
"Should the magic council have its own path?" Lucian thought of the gentleman from the headquarters of the magic council.
Lucian did not dare to resort to Natasha, even if her grandfather was the King of Holm Kingdom. Because it was the power of the magic council that obstructed her parents at that time, and she was a devout follower of the truth gods, telling her identity as a magic apprentice, plus the previous deception, could be killed directly.
Rhein nodded: "There is a magic council liaison officer at the sea pearl 'Sturck', but I don't know who it is, you need to find it yourself, and even then, it is dangerous to steal the blockade, so I Only after you have become a formal magician have a good self-protection ability to go. Of course, if you can become an intermediate wizard and learn to fly, you don't need to care about it. The sea is so wide and the church can block the ships but not It may completely block the sky. "
"Become a formal magician ..." Lucian did not know if the church continued to observe himself, but he would definitely not use the identity of "professor" to contact people in the magic circle Therefore, he must become formal magic as soon as possible. Teacher, the best way is to go to the ruins and rely on yourself to understand the time difference between the magical fans of the "Great Cross Star Trek" first to enter, but will it be a trap for the church?
Rhein carried his hands on his back: "You can become a high-level magic apprentice for up to two days, and with your talent, as long as you have ordinary silver moon potions, you have a great hope of becoming a formal magician. So, you measure yourself Danger, at best, I tell you that the church has struggled to shed staff recently. "
"Really?" Lucien looked at Rhein with a little surprise, and he seemed to know something. If he is true, then he should indeed take some risks to try the ruins, "Right, Mr. Rhein, I don't know your identity?"
Rhein laughed: "I'm just an observer, and I like to observe interesting things. Of course, it is not ruled out that I will end in person, as long as that thing is interesting enough."
After replying to Lucien vaguely, Rhein gave him a meaningful look, then his pace accelerated, and he merged directly into the darkness.
Balussian stood on the spot watching Rhein's back disappear, and his heart was calm. After knowing the news of the headquarters of the Magic Council, the whole person suddenly relaxed a lot, as if the boulder that had been on his heart for a long time was removed.
In this unspeakable ease, Lucian suddenly felt that his soul had swelled a little and began to hit that boundary. (To be continued [this text is provided by Uncle Shaq @ 初初 练].
