Emenas, Walled College.
Among the forests near the lake, along the hillside, there are scattered wooden buildings. Its style is beautiful, and it is hidden under the wind bell, allowing the mottled shadows to shine on it.
In a classroom that is no longer in use, a few wooden chairs and tables are scattered around. Looking at the rounded corners, the dust remaining in the corners and corners must have been used for many years.
With a creak, the door of the classroom was pushed open, and a man in a hooded robe walked in. He held a book in one hand, pushed the glasses in front of his nose with the other, and found a place with a nice view to sit at will. Down.
After waiting for a while, another guest came. She was wearing a close-fitting black wizard robe with a slit at the waist, revealing a lot of fairness, showing her plump figure.
The two seemed to know each other, nodded briefly, and then sat aside. The mature woman took off her wizard hat, put it on her face, and rested on the bench.
Then a few more people came one after another, until the eighth person came in, glanced at the lower classroom, and then closed the door and sat at the table.
"It's pretty good this time, and all the rare things are here." He has short hair like the sun.
"Is there something wrong with Yard? This time, everyone was called together, and he deliberately said not to let others know." The first scholar said.
"There are some things to discuss with everyone." This white-robed sage has an indescribable leadership temperament, which makes people willing to listen to his views.
"A few months ago, everyone should have heard the speech of the star witch." He was talking about Roland Hill's proposal at the sage meeting.
"I know." Several people nodded, and then one of them spoke.
"But I care more about the witch's appearance and wisdom. Are witches so beautiful and smart?" He inadvertently revealed his preferences.
"Pretty words are true. According to the records, witches seem to be pretty. But wisdom is not necessarily true." The witch said in a lazy tone, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
"Some witches are like little children, always willful and unreasonable."
"Haha, I've heard the older generation of sages complain about this before." Because it wasn't a formal meeting, a few people were very relaxed and casual.
After laughing, one of the sages said again, "However, witches do have willful confidence, and only with such strength can they refuse to grow up and be willful themselves."
"So, what's the matter this time, Yard." After deviating for a while, the topic finally turned around again.
"Yes." Yard nodded.
"I didn't know much about this witch in the past, so I went to Crancia to do a lot of investigation during this time. I went to Verga, Sanctuary, and Gufia grassland." He said these Months, their whereabouts.
"Do you have any findings and conclusions? You have always been so serious, you are really motivated." An old sage looked at Yard. Although this junior was younger than him, when it came to prestige, he was far better than She, even in the Sage Society, is one of the top ones.
"That witch shouldn't lie, these are her true intentions." Yard said again, and then took out a rolled up paper from his clothes, which depicted the map of Crancia, with a lot of text on the side. describe.
"She does have sincerity and wisdom, which are precious qualities. Although emotionally, perhaps because of her young age, she is not too mature, but compared to those indifferent ancient witches, I think everyone will prefer this one. ." Although Yard himself is not interested in so-called beauty and emotion, he knows the lethality of these things on other people.
"Well, it's hard for people to refute it. But everyone has known each other for so many years, and you should also know that we won't agree and follow her ideas for this reason."
"I'm not that impulsive boy anymore, haha." The old sage stroked his beard and gave a healthy laugh.
"I understand, but what about this report." Yard took out another sheet of paper with neat and detailed notes describing what he saw and heard, with a memory gem beside it.
"This is the observation report of the 'Void Electric Shuttle' Shulotel. This sage is a special existence, he used the sacred object 'Night Harbor Melia' to break through the shackles of the world and went to the outside world. Shuttle in the stars Just returned to the world of Ivar earlier this year after nearly 50 years."
"The power of 'Night Harbor Melia' can protect his ghostly body, so that he can maintain himself even if he stays in the warp for a long time, and with the help of this transcendent speed, he can finally see the galaxy in the scene.”
"Although this is only a small attempt, it is also the furthest exploration we can make after the death of the time-space witch."
"And in his knowledge and reports, some content coincides with that witch." The sage looked at the people who were gradually getting serious, paused for a while, and then erected the page for everyone to watch. .

In June of the 37th year, I changed course again, sailing towards a huge, deep red sun.
In February of the 39th year, it is difficult to describe in words, I can only say that I saw the most terrifying scene in the world.
Those shadows of chaos are like densely packed soldier ants. They swept through the empty void and moved in one direction. The silent mourning, even if they were far apart, made me feel distorted and terrified.
Even in the empty starry sky and the sea of nothingness, the number of these chaotic phantoms is still staggering, large enough to drown several Ivar worlds. If all of this is true, then the prediction of the time and space witch Dorothy hundreds of years ago is true.
It's a pity that she didn't observe such a large scale back then, otherwise she would definitely leave a video record.
After a month of observation and comparison, I finally determined that their goal is to come to the world of Ivar.
There may be a little offset in the middle, but they can always be adjusted slowly, as if there is something that attracts them.
At first I didn't know what that was until later.
In October of the 44th year, a splendid and divine radiance came from the world of Ivar, and I could feel it even from this distance. A small, golden star flashed across the world of Ivar. If calculated according to the speed of light, this may have been 5-6 years ago.
According to the current speed of movement of these phantoms, they will arrive in the world of Ivar in about 100 years, which is really a happy and sad thing.
Glad I saw this ahead of time, sadly it's only been 100 years to prepare.
For this reason, I had to sneak into the warp space with all my strength, return to my former home, and tell my old friends of the painful news. —The journey of virtual electricity, Shulotel.

"That is to say, in about 100 years, the chaotic disaster will inevitably come again, and the way is to come across the galaxy, and Dorothy's hypothesis is true?"
"That's right, although Dorothy's approach was a bit extreme back then, her goal might be right." The aged sage sighed. Valley
"If it wasn't for those mages in the country of Oz who went astray and used the Aijika secret technique, the sages would have remained neutral at that time and did not interfere."
"It's just that what happened later became unbearable. If you let Aijika's secret technique spread, it would be no different from the coming of chaos."
"And this also caused the later tragedy. The witches also complained to the sages. Even if it was not our fault, they also lost a lot of goodwill."
"Now, only the witch of the stars who rescued Ruerna and brought the Sun Crown down would dare to reiterate this plan."
Several people whispered, and then picked up the memory gem and watched the scene.
After a while, several people discussed again.
"Can those wandering dragons outside the galaxy resist these chaotic phantoms?" one of them asked with luck.
"It's unlikely. If it is a small-scale existence, with the dragon of destruction sitting in town, it can ensure that the world of Ivar is worry-free, but such a large-scale existence, those giant dragon legions can't resist."
"Besides, after a long time, their numbers are running out, and the Yu Ze of these ancient people is now slowly coming to an end."
"What about the 'Angel Legion', those angels with wings on their backs, but the most loyal followers of the Sun Crown."
"I have to ask the Pope of the 'Sanctuary', so they still retain a little connection with the heaven."
"I have already asked about the heavens." Yard spoke again.
"Unfortunately, since that year, the heavens have entered a state of sleep, and all the angels no longer respond, as if they have entered a sleep adjustment."
"So, we can't pin our hopes on the Yu Ze of these predecessors." Yard knocked on the table.
"The power to integrate the entire world is imminent."
"However, Yard, you have to be clear that this will not happen overnight, nor can it be achieved with a simple sentence."
"Countless conflicts will arise from this, and behind the glorious righteousness that unifies everything is a process of incomparable violence. Because people are naturally like this, they do not want to bow their heads."
"Even if you put the facts in front of you, as long as the pain and suffering are not added, they will doubt and disbelieve." The scholar pressed his glasses and analyzed in calm words.
"Yes, but what about that? Are you willing to stand by and wait for the worst to come?" Yard's eyes slowly swept across the crowd.
These sages are all beings he is familiar with, and they are also people who can be trusted and entrusted, so he called them together.
The classroom was silent and everyone was silent.
They are not impulsive and simple-minded people. As the most knowledgeable and wise human beings, these sages know better than ordinary people. If they agree at this moment, what will they offer in the future.
That's not just reputation, energy, and time, but possibly your own life and the future of billions of people.
Change means fighting, fighting means war, and the war sweeping the world means a terrifying trial. And no one can guarantee that the truly unified world is what he wants.
Looking back on the past, the Mercury Dynasty briefly unified the entire world, and even in the far east, it followed the will of this powerful dynasty.
capstone novel
But is such a dynasty really good, but it is the product of a high-pressure environment, and the internal contradictions that are constantly accumulating finally can no longer be suppressed one day and ushered in a disintegration.
The dynasty's necromancers were liquidated, countless high-level executives were executed, and the descendants of those heroes had to go far away, and finally settled on a desolate island.
After a long silence, the old sage stood up. He looked up at the old wooden board on the ceiling, and then touched the worn and broken wooden chair beside him.
"You know what, Yard. I used to take a class here, almost a hundred years ago." His voice was full of memories.
"I was still a student at that time, very young. The teacher at the time was the guide who later led me to the Society of Sages, Mr. Grant."
"Mr. Grant is a forest elf. He was more than 600 years old at that time, which is extremely old even among elves."
"However, he is still very energetic. When the get out of class is over, he sits by the window sill and looks at the yellow bellflowers in bloom outside, telling stories about his youth."
"He is a veteran of the Green Empire. He participated in the war between the Green Empire and Oz in the past, and witnessed the fall of that powerful magical country. Countless knowledgeable mages were crushed on the execution ground, and these wise minds were slashed by cheap side knives. down into the muddy water."
"Having knowledge is a wonderful thing and gives us a lot of advantages."
"And this kind of advantage, over time, will make people feel a certain way."
"I am different from others. I should be nobler than those farmers in the fields. I can't do rough work. I want to live a decent life. I should be a superior man."
"It's a scary thought because you put your own perception above everything else, thinking that as long as you have the truth, others have to respect and obey you."
"A good person, a powerful person must be in a high position? Whether it is to force others to admit with a machete, or to use practical actions to convince others of their trust, there are actually two completely different paths."
"The logic of the former is rough and simple, making it easy for people to understand, while the chaos of the latter makes it difficult to find a practical way."
"So, most people finally went to the former, because I am stronger than you, I can kill you, so you must obey my will."
"It's really easy. But the price is that as the country and the whole get bigger and bigger, this repressive system becomes more and more fragile until the day it collapses."
"Truth is good, but if it doesn't help me, it's just waste paper. Power is exciting, but if it makes me suffer, I'll curse it with all my might."
"What can truly conquer people is what makes people willing to kneel down and obey. It has never been truth or power, but tangible benefits, which can make you sigh, so peaceful, true, and beautiful."
"You want to bring everyone together, and then you have to show a real and beautiful world."
"If you just want to use the so-called righteousness to force it, it will be just a repeat of the tragedy in the end."
