Vol 4 Chapter 101: Epilogue (on)


When returning to Wuyin Castle, it was getting late.
Until this moment, Xiu Yi can still see Pamela's reluctant eyes when he was leaving. Both Xiuyi and Pamela know that this is the first time, I am afraid it is also the last time.
That wonderful combination is so precious because of its rareness that it makes people think about it repeatedly and it is difficult to let it go.
Raschel was the first to see Xiuyi, and at this moment came up and bowed to Xiuyi.
Xiu asked him, "Pajt's wife and children are settled?"
"They are all settled, and we have to thank the Dardanelles for their efforts in this regard."
"I am also responsible for his death. He is my former teacher anyway."
"So, what's going on with the royal family?" It seemed that Raschel was reluctant to talk more about Padgett.
Xiu shrugged: "What else? I reached an agreement with an emperor and a prince. I took out twelve types of alchemy, six of which belonged to the Franks. Prince Richard was in Miyah There was a great deal of effort in this matter, and what he wanted was this. Miyah could not disagree, and for me, two balanced nations were obviously better than one big country. That would allow them Restrict each other and guard against each other. "
Xiu came to a big rock and sat down, greeting Raschel and sitting next to him: "Miyah ascended the throne in the morning, and sent a wording statement to the Church of the Holy Spirit at noon. Prince Frank seconded, and as Witnesses confirm the allegations of the Reims Empire, the church will have a headache, Miya is impossible to give up without any benefit, listen to Richard's tone, the Reims and Frank Empire will jointly pressure and persecute this matter The church agreed to release some of the clergy's appointment power, surrender part of the land, cancel the territories of the gods, and at the same time reduce the number of holy knights recruiting and cancel the priority selection. "
No matter what era, land is always the most important asset.
The church does not have the power to collect taxes in the empires, but the church itself has a large amount of land. Although these lands are located in the empire's territory, they are nominally private to the church, and even the empires must not move lightly. The clergy used the donations paid by the believers to buy land continuously. All income was owned by the church and clergy, and the empire could not collect taxes from them, resulting in a large amount of wealth outflow. Forcing the church to pay part of the land, to put it plainly, is to grab money.
In addition, the status of the church in various countries is extremely sacred. Some people even run into the church to ask for asylum after committing a crime. Because the church belongs to the domain of God, even the empire can do nothing about it. Miyah's demand for the abolition of the domain of God greatly weakened the church's power and strengthened its position.
The Church collects divine knights in various countries every year. Many outstanding warriors in the empire have become the backbone of the church and took up arms to defend the interests of the church. The right of first choice guarantees that the church can always pick the best samurai or magician talents in the empire, and those who are selected are most willing to be part of the church. This is obviously also unwilling to Miaia and Richard.
Therefore, the actions of Miyah and Richard are actually weakening the real power of the church and defending their national interests. The two princes themselves are very talented people. They may not really be in love with each other and have their own calculations, but as long as a church exists one day, they will not deal with themselves.
Compared with their parents, the younger generation has a longer-term perspective and is more direct and bold. They dare and are willing to challenge the existence that their parents dare not challenge.
The battle for secular rights and theocratic rights has existed since ancient times. Generally speaking, in a foolish place, divine power is prosperous, but as the times change, people's understanding of things becomes more and more intuitive, their eyes become higher and higher, and secular power will gradually increase, which will lead to violent contradictions.
With the increase in contradictions, there is usually only one solution: war and turmoil.
"Their appetite is not small." At this moment, when Rachel heard what he said, Raschel also froze.
"It's normal to ask for a price and return the money on the ground. It's normal. Miyea may not expect all conditions to pass, but he can always force the other party to make some concessions. It would be too much of an assassination for the emperor Joking. Coupled with Richard's help, the two countries are working together, and the Holy Spirit Church is in trouble again with the glorious sword, and no one will be willing to fight at this time. "
"That's it, not to mention you are holding the church."
"But the church also protested to the Arcane Tower. Nicholas killed hundreds of church clergy. I heard that the pope would send someone to deal with him. You know what to do."
Raschel grinned, "I believe that Her Majesty the Pope will be very interested in the secrets of Nicholas' realm, and I will write a letter to Her Majesty after the meeting."
"Nicholas is having a hard time, and Miyea confided to Nicholas and asked him to surrender the magician who kidnapped the princess. He almost killed the princess on the hidden moon peak, and Avril himself proved it. But Miyah's main goal at present It ’s a church, so Miyea wo n’t put too much pressure on the Wizards Association. I think he ’s going to take this opportunity to weaken Nicholas ’prestige and force those proud magicians to further invest in themselves. Especially the Arcane Tower collapses, and those magical energies No matter how big, without the power of the empire, they don't even want to build another arcane tower by themselves. The Reims Empire is likely to become a country out of church control and truly master the power of magicians. The power of the emperor will greatly increase. In fact, we are helping him a lot. "
Xiu Yi sighed a little.
The person who contributes the most is not necessarily the one who benefits the most.
In this trip to Winrington, the biggest winner was actually not Xiuyi, but Miyea and Richard.
But having said that, the benefits of Xiuyi are also incalculable. The most important thing is that he has received the attention of two high-ranking empires at the same time. In the long run, with the support of Miya and Richard, plus Dardanelle With the successful operation of the family business, Xiu Yi no longer has to worry about the problem of alchemy resources.
From this point of view, there is really nothing more important than this.
As for the alchemy delivered, Xiuyi handed over some refining methods suitable for the medicaments used on the battlefield, related to the improved practices of flesh cymbals and samurai warriors, and the most valuable is the method of making ultra-distance communication. Although the Empire can also make it by itself, compared to Xiuyi's production method, the cost is too high, the service life is too short, and the effect is not good.
Miyaya really wants to make the transmission method and space ring technology, but Xiu Yi was not willing to surrender, but promised to make ten transmission law groups and ten space rings for the two countries. The resources are provided by each other. provide.
"But from now on, you will face the chase of the church alone." Raschel reminded him: "The church is not so easy to deal with. When it comes to the strong, there are more churches. After all, they are from all countries in the northern continent. Select the best people and have the right to choose. "
Xiu Yi smiled: "I was originally a soul mage. No matter if I offend the church, they will kill me, aren't you the same?"
Raschel laughed bitterly. Yeah, if not, how could you never dare to use it in public after you master the power of magic.
After thinking about it, he suddenly repaired Yi: "Do you know why the Holy Spirit Church does not allow soul spells to exist in this world?"
After repairing for a while, he meditated for a while before saying, "The Holy Spirit Church declares that the soul spell is an evil existence, but how can there be any real essential evil under the sky? I think it is probably for another reason. If you want to ask me why , I think it has something to do with the power of soul magic to control humanity. "
The so-called religious belief is actually a process of reforming people's thinking, and it is also a beneficial tool for upper-class aristocracy to exploit the lower levels. The nobles paralyzed the painful flesh of the lower class by spiritual beliefs, imprisoned their thoughts, and at the same time, maintained the superior status of the upper class and reduced the possibility of riots in the lower class. Anyone who disobeys or obeys the rules and acts rebelliously will not only be killed in this life, but also suffer and suffer. The soul will also go to hell, and eternal life cannot be reincarnation.
The more backward the feudal era and the poorer the people's livelihood, the greater the significance of religious beliefs. It is the most beneficial ideological weapon of the ruling class.
To achieve the purpose of controlling the human heart, the Holy Spirit Church needs some power that can affect the human heart.
Fortunately, this is a magical world, and the church does not need to work its teachings. They do not have a great existence like the Bible, but they have sacred magic that can affect people ’s hearts, and through this power they can recruit believers and expand themselves.
So what is a soul spell? When it is cultivated to a high level, it is a spell that can control the minds of others, and can easily enslave others for their own use.
That can cleanse people's hearts and expel the dark sacred power. It cannot clear the effect of soul spells on the human body. In turn, soul spells can fundamentally control a person's thinking. So if the holy spell is afraid, it is the soul spell.
How can the Holy Spirit religion allow its existence?
Therefore, for hundreds of years, the Holy Spirit Church has been hunting down soul mage. They have the evil name to the soul spell. In fact, plainly, they are not allowed to steal business with them.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard they try, the soul spell is like a stubborn grass that will never die.
It is like that even if Christianity burned Bruno alive, it could not change the fact that the earth was round and turned around the sun.
Therefore, in essence, as a fugitive on Purgatory Island, the owner of the mob and a soul mage, Shuigler was destined to be hunted down by the entire continent.
No one welcomed him, and he was taboo.
Compared to him, Baron William Harden, who tried to pick up the royal etiquette, is at best a disgusting and useless generation. If he was born five hundred years earlier, he might become a big man.
So characters with different personalities have different destinies in different times. Those who have an assertive personality go to a stereotyped and backward world, most of them have failed.
From this point, we can see why Xiuyi had such a fate when he came to this world.
Because of his character, he doesn't fit in this world.
His success stems from the memory of the era of the Big Bang of knowledge, and his failure also comes from his knowledge. Too advanced understanding prevented him from agreeing with the values ​​of this world, which resulted in no matter how clever and talented he was, he could only confuse the same characters.
Fortunately, Xiuyi himself was gradually aware of this problem, so he began to change slowly. Only at the end did he make some concessions and reach a reconciliation with the Lance Empire, but when he was threatened, the methods he was used to have not changed substantially, so he chose to blow up the Arcane Tower and the Holy Spirit. temple.
Personality change is fundamentally a huge and slow gradual process.
But Xiu Yi's answer at the moment did not satisfy Raschel.
He shook his head: "I admire the way you think about problems, Xiuyi, you are always used to looking for problems in essence. But sometimes things ca n’t be considered solely in terms of interests. Do you know that a long time ago , Has the soul mage ever lived in harmony with the church? "
"Oh?" Xiu Yi was startled.
"This is true." Raschel replied very seriously: "Soul spells are not allowed in the church, not as simple as you think. There are other reasons behind that, but I don't know what it is. Maybe you The answer can be found. Maybe ... that will be a great help to your confrontation with the church in the future. "
"Is that so, I see." Xiu Yi nodded.
After thinking about it, Xiuyi said, "I'm leaving Warrington. I have already arranged everything else, but only you. Raschel, you now have three options. One is to follow me to the South Mainland, I went there and knew nothing about the situation there. An experienced person helped me to reduce a lot of trouble. One is to go to Cido, Hailey and my people are developing there, some time ago they I had some trouble and needed a think tank to help solve it. Another one is to stay here and help Buckler. The Dardanelle family is very important to me. Buckler is not good at dealing with high-level officials. Listine helped, they would be much easier if you were there. So where are you going? "
"Sido." Raschel answered. The wise man always chooses the place that is suitable for developing his talents for development. For Raschel, the free place of Cido can undoubtedly become a good place for him to flex his muscles.
"That's the answer," Xiuyi laughed.
At this time, Buckler came out of the castle.
"I found Greening," Buckler told Xiuyi.
The holy knights surrounded the Royal Coliseum, and Greenkin lost his shot, forcing Xiuyi to use Bateson's hand to leave. But Greenkin already knew the identity of Sisyedah Darnier at this time, Xiuyi could not let him go easily, so he ordered Buckler to find him out.
"how about it?"
"He agreed to join us, but not here, he said that he would go to a place more suitable for the use of his force."
"Then let him also go to Cido," Xiuyi said. "It is just to protect Raschel on the road."
Xiu stood up: "Go tell the news to Green and let him and Raschel go on the road tomorrow. Then let Carmela wait for me at the Alchemy Tower. After I repair her arm, Buckler, she will Your good helper. As for Udic ... "
Xiu then remembered that Udic hadn't returned yet.
Three days later, Xiuyi once gave Udiq a death order. Don't come back if you can't find the black warrior. As a result Udic went on for three days.
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly passed over the castle.
The crowd looked up, and saw Udik falling into the castle on her chase.
He looked exhausted.
"Tutor." Udic jumped from the wind and said respectfully to Xiuyi.
"You're back?"
Udyk bowed his head: "I'm sorry, mentor, I looked in the jungle for three days, but I didn't find the black warrior, only this one."
He took out a large number of armor fragments, Xiu's eyes narrowed, and his heart was beaten hard.
At this moment he could even feel the strong breath of thunder spells attached to those fragments.
"Oh, there is it," Udic added.
Udik took one thing from the back of the wind, which was the undead monster that disappeared with the black warrior. It had lost its ability to act, and was piled on the ground like a pile of scrap copper and iron.
Xiu Yi took a look and sighed, "Its core has been severely damaged, and all parts have been severely destroyed ... it no longer has the value and meaning of repair."
As a result, Xiuyi's hand reached into the head of the undead monster mouse, and took out the soul beads and magic gems from the brain of the monster mouse.
The red light in the eyes of the demon mouse disappeared.
Watching the undead monster rat completely disappeared in front of him like this, Xiu Yi booed for a while.
This undead monster rat can be said to be his first alchemy work since his debut, and has been following him until now, but has come to an end in the attack of Nicholas. Had it not been for the sanctuary, it could have played a greater role.
"Nicholas Cage ..." Xiu murmured the name: "When I come back again, I will definitely create an alchemy piece that can defeat the sanctuary, just wait."
With the occurrence of a series of events in Warrington, shocks were set off throughout the northern continent.
Lance Empire Strike VI died, and Miaia, who has never been favored, ascended the throne.
The Church of the Holy Spirit was involved in the plot to assassinate the emperor, and Miyah attacked the church, blaming the church for its wrongful intentions. Prince Richard confirmed that Hamilton did attack His Majesty the Emperor, and said that three of his subordinates were injured in the attack and one died.
The news of the false splendid sword also spread, and the believers were shocked and sent censure voices to the church. The Scourge Church took the opportunity to preach loudly and discredit hostile sects, and declared that if there was a country in the northern continent willing to invite them to preach, they would be the northern continent. The people bring the true gospel.
Facing the inquiries of the believers, the challenges of the empire, and the invasion of hostile denominations, the Church of the Holy Spirit suddenly fell into a sing of song. The Pope had to send a special envoy to negotiate with the Emperor of the Lance Empire, Miyah, hoping to extricate themselves from the war, apologize to all believers, acknowledge the sword of glory, and declare that it would take back the Holy Sword.
Negotiations with the Reims Empire were going through hardships. No one was interested in investigating what happened on that day in Warrington, but they repeatedly blamed the compensation provisions of the Holy Spirit Church.
In addition to this major event, several incidents with special effects occurred.
First, Sanctuary Nicholas issued a notice to all the magicians on the northern continent, hunting down Xiu Yierer. It is rumored that Hugh Iglell had fought with Nicholas. Nicholas paid the price of one eye and three fingers to win, but finally let Hugh Iglell escape.
This is the first time in history that a person who is not even a high-level samurai can successfully escape without hurting the sanctuary.
Soon afterwards, Xiuyi declared to everyone that he possessed the secret of Nicholas' static field. Anyone who hated Nicholas could ask him for help. Those who possessed this secret would have the possibility to kill Nicholas.
The news shocked the entire northern continent, and Shuigler was once again the first person to openly auction secrets.
A series of incidents made Huguelair's reputation so famous that even people on two continents far southeast of the country heard about it.
Three months later, a negotiating agreement between the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Reims and Frank Empires was officially reached and the world was announced.
In order to make up for the mistakes made by church personnel, the Holy Spirit Church is willing to pay the equivalent of one city's land to compensate the Reims Empire, while reducing the number of Holy Knights by 20%. His Majesty the Pope firmly does not cancel, but agrees to redefine the scope and no longer allow each church to become the domain of God, and only the cathedrals established in some particularly important large cities belong to the domain of God. The Frank Empire benefited from this, and also obtained the power to limit the domain of the gods, while reducing the number of knights by 10%.
As for the priority church, the priests' right of appointment is insisted, but the church allows the Imperial Reims and Frank Empires to place a special commissioner in each church to monitor the daily behavior of the church. The name is so beautiful: strengthen the friendly relationship between the empire and the church.
Throughout the incident, Xiuyi became the culprit of the scourge of the church. The Reims Empire was the main force and the Frank Empire was the accomplice. However, some people sang against them, that is, the Georgia Empire. They are a country that stands firmly on the church's stand, waving flags for the Church of the Holy Spirit, and has given the Church a lot of confidence in the negotiations.
Ironically, as a thank you to the Georgian Empire, the church had to share the powers of its special personnel with the Georgian Empire.
Either the attacker or the helper, both sides are cutting meat from the church, and they are happy and happy. From the point of view of practice, it can be clearly seen that the young monarch of the Lance Empire is more vigorous and energetic, the Frank Empire is more insidious, and more capable of calculating and borrowing, and the Georgia Empire is more mature, more experienced, and also Be more human.
Anyway, after the agreement came out, the three empires won a big victory in the political and diplomatic fields, and Miyah was not satisfied with it.
His use of his father was arrogant. Obviously, the benefits that had previously been exchanged for his father's death were not enough to satisfy his appetite, but now it is necessary to satisfy another appetite with greater appetite.
Shortly after the agreement was launched, Miyah officially announced his exemption from the need to repair Iglell, acknowledged that the Purgatory Island incident was real, and stated that he himself was not aware of it, and everything was done by his predecessors. As an emperor who loves the people like his son, he is extremely distressed about this happening. In order to show justice and be fair and innocent, he must make this fact public and ask his subordinates to understand. At the same time, he will severely punish all those involved in the Purgatory Island incident, no such incidents will be allowed, and will spend a lot of money to care for the families of those who died.
This incident caused a great uproar throughout the North Continent. Many people accused Strike VI of being cruel and ruthless and tortured his people. But at the same time, many people said that Miaia dared to admit the facts and bow his head to admit his mistakes. Mingzhu Renjun. While angering and hating Strike VI, people's acceptance of Miyah increased, and Miyah's ruling position was largely consolidated.
Xiu ’s identity was whitewashed, which made the Holy Spirit Church very dissatisfied. Especially angry that Miyia had just sold his "great and lovely" Her Majesty the Father, and this made the Pope greatly angry. The Pope personally wrote a severely worded letter to Miyah, demanding that the Reims Empire not shield a sinful soul mage.
Miyea solemnly stated that the Reims Empire could abandon Hugh Iglell. Of course, the Church of the Holy Spirit must show sufficient sincerity for this. The Frank Empire made the same statement.
Everything, as Shuy and Miyah calculated, the Church of the Holy Spirit did make concessions.
The Church of the Holy Spirit has agreed to remove the priority of the Holy Knights in recruiting knights in both countries and instead to recruit them freely.
At last, the great interests of the Church of the Holy Spirit in the Reims and Frank Empires were seriously damaged, and their prestige was greatly reduced.
The Church of the Holy Spirit personally issued a hunting order against Hugh Glair, but at this time Hugh Yi was already far away on the land of the South Continent, where it set off a new legend.
There will be a chapter in the afternoon, the headquarter will end, and the chapter on the south continent will begin tomorrow.
