The atmosphere in the carriage became very weird. Douglas seemed to have forgotten the two magicians on the side, whispering to one strange question after another, but Fernando and Roland did not know what to say, this is not all Is it just as natural as the sun rises and the fruit ripens to the ground?

But Douglas quickly got rid of this state and said with a little apology: "Sorry, I always get a similar loss."

"It's nothing. I always do when I have problems with magic." Roland answered with a smile, seemingly not interested in Douglas' strange question. Fernando opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

The brief silence disappeared, and Fernando and Roland introduced Douglas to the situation on the storm channel side.

"Whether it is the Sylvanas Empire or the Yasuo Empire, the forces here have disintegrated and become one after another, scattered and non-organized organizations, and some even fled to the endless ocean, so to speak, The situation here is not even as good as the opposite side of the strait, at least the western territories such as Aalto are still in the hands of magicians ... "Roland said with a sigh.

Fernando added: "The territory that originally belonged to the Yasuo Empire was divided into two parts, one is the Kingdom of Buriana, one is the Principality of Calais, and the area to which the Sylvanas Empire belongs was born the Kingdom of Holm and Ke. Kingdom of Wright, the place where we organized the main event is in the Kingdom of Holm, where we are now ... "

Douglas asked about the situation before crossing the Straits of Storms. He was not strange to what the two said, but it was not so detailed. His face was a little sad at first, and then he re-emerged a calm and peaceful smile: "In fact, I chose to cross the storm strait instead of fleeing to Aalto because I am more optimistic about the situation here. "

"Huh?" Fernando was noncommittal on the surface, but his eyes narrowed slightly, preventing the bright red pupil from revealing his emotions.

Regarding the analysis of the situation, the "Union Union" has been doing it internally. The final conclusion is similar to Douglas, so there are previous risky attempts and direction changes.

Douglas said calmly: "Because the overall strength of the nobility here is stronger than the Church of Truth."

This sentence was like lightning struck, hit Roland, made him numb, suddenly bright, understood why the organization would change before hiding, avoiding the pursuit of killing, slowly growing strategy, boldly let Fernando come to Pefu See the largest nobility here in the capital of Scots-the title of the knight can be named by the county, and the power of Count Pefos can be seen.

Roland knew that this was to win over the nobles, to provoke their relationship with the church, in exchange for their blessings, in order to escape the church ’s increasingly rigorous pursuit, but it has never been so clear and clear why they should do so, and what ideals may be developed in the future. the result of.

Fernando said nothing, just looked at Douglas quietly, waiting for his next words.

"We do n’t know the specific situation here, but according to my observations, with the fall of Antiphora, the clergy ’s attitude towards the nobility became more and more arrogant, and most of the cardinals and holy knights were concentrated in Anti Fowler and Lance, ready to go west. "Douglas said what he had heard.

"Although western cities such as Aalto have gathered a lot of legendary lords, and even a small number of blood clan, dragon, etc., but the internal contradictions are great, and the strength gap with the church and the nobility is even greater. Unless the" Silver Moon "comes, it will only It is eaten up step by step. On the contrary, here, we are very weak, and there are not many legendary lords that we can draw, but there is not a big gap with the strength of the church. "

His first comparison used the overall strength of the church and the nobility, and the second time he singled out the church alone. The specific meaning is not only understood by Fernando, but also by Roland.

Fernando spoke with a strange and sharp accent, apparently not a native of the Holm Kingdom: "After the disintegration and elimination of most of the higher-level magicians here, the cult of truth has transferred more than half of the legendary clergy Personnel, currently only Luntat and Cooks have a Holy Spirit priest guard. "

"Epic Knights have also been transferred, but there are five remaining. After all, this is their hometown and their territory. It is not in their desire to go over the mountains and attack Alto, even if they are all devout believers, Because it is difficult to obtain substantial benefits, and they think that the church does not lack this power. Obviously, the church thinks so. "

"But what's the point of this?" Roland frowned and asked puzzled, "As long as the church defeats the legendary lords of the West and sends most of the strong men over, all our efforts will become bubbles."

Fernando glared at him: "Time, time to develop, time to find allies, time to spur relationships, and time to gain balance."

Douglas also smiled: "The enemy of the church is not just us."

"Well, if Alto loses his guard, the church will reach the dark mountains directly, maybe the 'Silver Moon' will really come." Roland nodded.

Douglas's expression suddenly became a little trance: "Even if 'Silver Moon' comes, I am afraid it will be difficult to contend with the Pope."

"You mean," Goddess of Sorrow "is really so strong?" Fernando asked, shocked and implicitly curious. They were on the side of the strait. The information they got did not know how much it was distorted. Now, they are in front of them A magician who experienced the battle of Antiphora.

"Your" Starlight "fell without resistance, and even the locks of Antiver were destroyed by more than half. I do n’t know how strong the real god is, but I know" Starlight " Your Excellency went beyond the level of legendary peak when fighting with the help of Antivler ... "Douglas recalled, the reassuring smile disappeared, revealing a bit of sigh and panic.

Both Fernando and Roland were silent. Although neither of them had a chance to go to Antilles, although Fernando was a child of the Azo Empire, as early as the teacher and elder ’s repeated narrative depictions, Antiphore had been deeply engraved in To their hearts, that is the "Mysterious Crown" holy place that all magicians yearn for, that is the city with the title of the strongest fortress on the ground, that is the most powerful place for the legendary magician, but it is only a "scenery" blow. Hope The governor of the Elvanas Empire was destroyed together with the lock.

"Shenjiang" is so strong?

At this moment, there was a deep sense of despair in their hearts. What significance does the effort of others and others have?At that time, it was just a matter of "Shen Shen Shu".

Douglas once again smiled gently: "Don't worry too much, I am afraid that the Pope's" Shenjiang "is not so easy."

"How do you know?" The intelligence was so important that Roland had never heard it, and even suspected Douglas was comforting himself.

Douglas did not have a beard, and the correct facial features appeared quite young. He smiled and said: "It has been nearly ten years since the fall of Antiphora, but the church has not been going west on a large scale, only some cardinals are trying, and the pope has never shot again , I watched the desperate and scattered people's hearts reunite, and I watched the Western Territory grow stronger and stronger. I think this may be a bit related. "

"Besides, the Pope also encountered the siege of the legendary lord before, but did not use the" Goddess of Sorrow ". If it is really so easy to use, it can be used to easily solve the battle."

He frankly stated his speculations, without taking into account the fact that the two magicians on the opposite side had very much reservations for him.

"This ..." Fernando fell into contemplation, and the more he thought, the more reasonable he was, and he was more vigilant about Douglas. This information has been in front of himself and others for a long time, but no one has ever been able to link them together, so pointedly pointed out this Question, Douglas sees the question thoroughly!Is this related to the strange questions he often asks?

The two parties haven't gone deeper in this exchange. After all, no real trust has been established.

The carriage stopped outside, and Fernando and Roland led Douglas through the forest, near a hiding place.

In this forest, the "Union Union of Magicians" has three secret strongholds, one has not been activated, one has three magicians to evade, and one is where they are going now. As for whether other organizations have strongholds here , They are not clear.

"Let's go there and see first." Roland said to Fernando in a spiritual connection.

Fernando nodded and understood what he meant. He wanted to first observe the stronghold where the three magicians were hiding, because after their analysis, one of the suspected traitors was there.

Douglas did not speak much and followed the two quietly, while Fernando and Roland did not intend to let him see the stronghold, who knew if he was a spy for the night watchman.

As the church has the upper hand, showing unparalleled strength, more and more magicians who are struggling in the darkness, frightened by panic and fear are desperate, and cast themselves in the church, becoming a night watchman who hunts their companions Knowing that your close companions yesterday will become enemies who will end their lives today.

There are several large magic organizations that have been infiltrated by night watchmen and suffered devastating blows, and the remaining organizations have learned their lessons and rigorously tested every newcomer, even if he is a grand mage, know There is no shortage of Archmage among the top 30 elites in the night watch!

Fernando and Roland were originally only going to take a closer look to see if there were any anomalies and not to reveal this secret stronghold, but with this glance, Fernando's complexion immediately turned as if he was about to come.

The crypt was half open, and the rich smell of blood attracted three wild wolves.

"One step late!" Roland photographed his head in annoyance. They already understood what was happening. Their suspicions were correct, but the other party did not intend to continue lurking, nor did they expect to be able to hide the past and kill the two magics first. After the teacher left, he should be under the protection of the night watchman.

Douglas looked at them quietly and looked around, followed them quietly to the crypt, saw two incomplete corpses that had been bitten, and saw two faces of dead people in fright.

"Gary is dead, Prince is also dead ..." Roland murmured a little out of control. "The little girl of Gary's family asked me to protect his father. Prince hasn't had time to confess ... Damn Benson, they are all your good friends! Gary even saved you! It was I who came late ... "

"It's been at least a day and a half since my death, and there are signs of being soaked in rain." Douglas whispered, saying that it was likely that he had just hid here at the time, and Benson had started, and no one could get relief.

Fernando's face turned blue and red, and vaguely remembered that the little girl of the Gary family was a lovely child. It took a long time to suppress the roar: "I will let Benson go and confess to you!"

A five-ring magician, an elite who is very promising to become a high-level magician, turned to the night watch!

Roland took a deep breath: "Leave here first."

The two quickly turned the body into powder and put it in storage bags.

The journey to the secret base was more depressed and depressed, and Douglas suddenly said: "Actually, I am a magician who does not like killing or fighting. I prefer to explore and to understand the truth behind things."

Fernando was about to roar, but Douglas impressed him with the next words.

Douglas looked at the sky and sighed softly: "But only by obtaining a safe and stable environment, with the cooperation and support of many people, exploration and research can continue, and now, there is no safe place to place an alchemy platform, and each other The companions who help and explore the world together are almost dead. "

"When a person is forced to a dead end, it is time to change."
