Sword of Daybreaker

Chapter 156: Faith in the Holy Light

Views:

If it was the genuine Gawain Cecil seven hundred years ago, the mood at this time should be lost or even a little sad, because the human nations seven hundred years ago had no conflicts in later generations, and everyone was from Gondor at that time. The fathers and folks who escaped from the wasteland were separated by natural disasters. Several kingdoms worked together to build defense lines and exchange resources. The honeymoon period between the Typhon Empire and the Ansu Kingdom even lasted for more than 500 years.

At that time, no one thought that there would be a day when everyone would face each other.

However, the person standing here is not the genuine Gawain Cecil, but just a satellite spirit who fell from the sky. Gawain knew that he should sigh, but he was really not very good at acting, so he could only try his best to make his own The expression looks stiff and serious, which can be regarded as more or less sad than heart-dead emoji: "Has war already been declared?"

"It's only a thread away," Earl Cohen shook his head gently. "All diplomatic channels have been cut off, and both sides are stationing troops. At this time, there is no reason to argue. It depends on who makes the first move. We are all guessing, maybe within a year, the first A great war will break out among the nations of men."

Rebecca who was following couldn't help it: "But we have to face the tide of magic. If the magnificent wall really collapses, can their Typhon Empire be safe and sound? If the monsters in the wasteland of Gondor If you rush out, those monsters will care which country you are from?"

"In fact, in the last communication before the diplomatic interruption, my father had already issued a warning to the empire," Veronica said in a low voice, "he warned those proud imperial people that the wasteland of Gondor is changing, Signs of abnormal activities were also found on the Ansu border, and he hoped that the imperial people would put down those stupid hatreds in the face of this real crisis... "

Amber asked anxiously, "And then?"

Veronica lowered her eyelids: "Then Typhon unilaterally cut off the magic communication on the border and added another 30,000 troops."

"This is unreasonable!" Rebecca said immediately, "How much hatred does Typhon have against Ansu, and they insist on doing this? And even if they don't believe it, at least tell them, what does it mean to just shut down the summons?" …”

"Because human beings are not very intelligent creatures, especially when they are mixed with politics and aristocratic systems, their minds are often confused by things like interests, face, clan, and war inertia," Gao Wen shook his head. Said, "And Ansu said that the tide of magic is coming, how can the people of Typhon believe it? They would rather believe that you are using this excuse to delay or prepare for the war, and even if they believe it... I am afraid they would like the tide of magic to quickly center on Ansu It exploded."

Rebecca blinked her eyes, her head that had been slapped by a wolf was directly stuck on this topic: "Why?"

Gao Wen shrugged: "Because Ansu will be finished in this way, they think they can share the surplus directly."

Rebecca felt that she couldn't keep up with Gao Wen's rhythm: "Do they think this is possible? In front of the demon tide..."

"Before seeing those mutants with your own eyes, have you ever thought about the power of those monsters? Before Cecil was corrupted by the elements and turned into wasteland, have you ever thought about the true power of Chaos magic energy? And until now, What you have seen is not even the slightest aftermath of the real demon tide."

Rebecca: "…"

Gawain sighed, he said these words not only to Rebecca, but also to Veronica and the three next to him: "So this is the reason, seven hundred years have passed, and human beings are short-lived and short-sighted Race, now, except for those elves, everyone regards the magic tide as an ancient legend. The Ansu royal family even directly gave up the entire southern region. Tell me, now except for this pioneering land, Ansu Is there any place in the whole territory that can directly overlook the magnificent wall?"

Earl Cohen's face changed slightly, while Veronica folded her hands on her chest, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "May the God of Holy Light forgive the ignorant beings. , that barrier that concerns everyone's life and death has long since disappeared from their sight..."

"I'm afraid only the elves are still taking care of the nodes on the magnificent wall, but Anzu and Typhon are not interested in these," Gawain sighed, and then changed the topic, "But then again, mentioning The Feng Empire's reaction is indeed a bit wrong, although people are sometimes ignorant, but their reaction... there are some signs of excessive force."

Earl Cohen opened his eyes slightly: "You mean, they knew that there were monsters in Anzu and believed in the threat of the wasteland of Gondor, but they still chose to start a human civil war?"

"I didn't say anything, because I don't even know what the Typhon Empire looks like today. The old guys I knew back then have long since died," Gao Wen spread his hands, "Don't talk about Typhon, I'm in Anzu You have been surrounded for several months, and you have grown wildly for hundreds of years. If I hadn’t seen many people hang the portraits of our group on the wall, I couldn’t believe that this land was really developed by us back then... "

Veronica: "…"

After that, Gao Wen arranged a reception banquet for the guests from the capital.

Today's pioneering camp is still in a state of pioneering. Except for hunting some wild game from the nearby forests, the food in the camp is mainly purchased from Tanzan Town and then transported here by river. Although when I came here, I also brought a batch of livestock and poultry. But these animals are used for reproduction, and they are reluctant to be slaughtered and eaten at this time. Coupled with the lack of food types, this feast will certainly not be very rich, but it is clear that Veronica is not a person who will be here. A picky and mean nobleman, the priestess Sandy who came with her and the deputy head of the knights, Earl Cohen, were also very knowledgeable. No one thought that there was any problem with the Cecil family's hospitality.

Of course, the more important thing is that everyone is generally embarrassed to pick on the thorns of the ancestors, and the 700-year-old generation is here.

After the personnel handover, the three of Veronica will not stay here, but before they leave, Gawain will take them around the camp first. He is not worried that this will expose his secrets, because many projects here are still in the initial stage, even if professional people come, I am afraid they will not be able to see what is famous, not to mention that the two priests and a battle mage are not like this. Experts in this field don't even know what the original furnace looked like, let alone understand the process of firing Rebecca crystals in the kiln area.

What's more, showing off property and land is the habit and norm of the world's nobles. If you don't take them around the camp, it will look suspicious here.

Of course, he excluded the tent where the ball was placed from the tour, and the ball is really not easy to explain...

As a matter of course, Gao Wen's attention was attracted by Sandy beside Veronica more than once along the way. You can see her abnormality by yourself, and no one can bear this matter. Gawain just glanced twice, and Veronica finally noticed it.

"Are you concerned about Sandy's reticence?" Veronica euphemistically brought up the topic, "Excuse me, she has always been like this."

"No, it's just because she looks a bit like someone I knew back then," Gao Wen casually made up a reason he had already used in front of Amber once, with the mentality of "no proof". , "Of course, it's definitely not the same person, but I can't help but take a second look. Please forgive me if I offend you."

"Sandy won't mind," Veronica smiled slightly, and the woman named Sandy just nodded slightly, expressing a little opinion, and then Veronica continued to introduce, "She is my My friend for many years, before me, she had converted to the great God of Holy Light, and it was she who pointed out the correct path for me."

The tone of a fanatic.

Gao Wen didn't express his disapproval. After all, how people believe is their business. This saint princess is quite approachable when talking about topics other than belief.

And Veronica's topic is not over: "Her piety is admirable, she is silent before you, but this is because she has dedicated most of her words to our Lord. Speaking of this, I find that you Although everything in this territory is full of vitality, it seems that it lacks the guidance of faith?"

Gao Wen pulled out a smile: "I respect devout believers very much, but you see, my territory is now only more than 900 people including the 100 people you brought, and everyone has spent a lot of energy building houses and reclaiming wasteland. , things like building churches and supporting missionaries can only be put on the back burner.”

"Faith will not become a burden for the people, but instead will become their direction and strength," Veronica smiled, "At least the God of Holy Light taught us to treat others leniently, and use the power of Holy Light to Guide and shelter all beings. If you want, I can personally help you build the Church of the God of Light here. I can assure you that the church will never be established on this land except for voluntary offerings. If you collect a penny, all the expenses will be provided by me personally, and at the same time, the clergy of the church will provide healing and enlightenment to your people for free."

Gao Wen kept smiling: "Will such a good thing happen?"

Veronica seemed to be filled with a faint, holy light, and her smile seemed to be soaked in the holy light: "Please don't doubt, this is my personal expression of goodwill and admiration for a legendary hero like you , I, like my younger brother, grew up listening to your stories."

The smile on Gao Wen's face did not change at all: "The Cecil family is grateful to Her Royal Highness for your kindness. I will consider this matter, but not now. When the territory is stabilized, there will be more people under my command. To the extent that faith guides me, I would welcome your help."

"That's fine." The twilight on Veronica's body gradually faded, and her smile became easy and soft, "No matter when you are in need, the Lord will take care of everyone. You must know that although there are many gods, there is only one who is holy." The God of Light can tolerate everything, and at the end of the Holy Light is the ultimate salvation of all fools."
