So the real situation is probably that the two legendary speakers were protecting the two while fighting...
No matter what, the wizards still faithfully carried out the orders and used magic to restore the damaged streets and houses. In just five days, half of the repair work was completed. The efficiency was incredibly fast...
Not all of the poor people in the capital were hopelessly corrupted by their faith. After two consecutive rescue operations with all their might, most people realized that it was the so-called messengers of God who caused the destruction, and it was the "evil gods and minions of the devil" who helped them repair their houses!
As a member of the poor, Haydn further strengthened his previous belief that those wizards were not as scary as the church portrayed.
On the contrary, Haydn felt that the church's priests and noble lords would never pay money or use magic to help them repair their damaged houses!
……
Lin En did not have much time to pay attention to the rumors spreading wildly in the royal capital and the changes in the poor people's minds.
After the war, there were too many tedious matters to deal with. Even a sick person like Lin En had to go to work despite his illness. After Aurora and others returned to the capital safely, the parliament immediately held an internal meeting.
Even though the returning airship had reported what happened on the Misty Sea before they arrived at the capital, they were still unaware of the specific details. Now Aurora told them the whole story in person.
"I didn't expect that the Holy See has already mastered the method to locate the wizard's place!" Raphael said with fear, his face still a bit sickly pale.
After five days of recuperation, Raphael barely escaped from that half-dead state. It would take at least half a month to fully recover.
In fact, facing God's blow, he was very lucky to be alive!
After listening to Aurora's story, all the wizards present were also terrified.
The defense of the wizard land is now extremely weak, and the high-end garrison is less than a quarter of what it was before. Only nine of the thirty great wizards remain there, and the three speakers, Harof, Vittorio, and Aurora, have also gone to the kingdom for support.
Only the legend [Element Master] Artok remains in the wizard land.
However, Raphael and others all knew that the legendary Speaker was quite crazy, and it was unrealistic to expect him to come out and organize people.
"You did the right thing. Compared to the kingdom, it is more important to delay that fleet on the sea!" Harof nodded. They could not afford to lose the wizard land.
"The communication problem needs to be solved as soon as possible to prevent similar incidents from happening again..." Vittorio added that relying solely on ships and airships to transmit messages is too slow, and the existing communication array is not sufficient to cross such a long distance.
Everyone present soon began to discuss the development of a new type of communication magic, but it wasn't long before the topic turned to a more important matter, which was how to deal with the Vatican's terrifying divine intervention!
Chapter 373: The Divine Descent at the Price of Legend!
"Speaker Harrov, you have faced that false god head-on, so you should have some understanding of her..." Aurora looked at the two legendary speakers and asked.
Harov and Vittorio looked at each other, then shook their heads and sighed. "I can only say that the gap is bigger than you think!"
"Is it that even if you all work together, it's still not enough to restrain that person?" Aurora frowned and asked in confusion.
"In fact, Edwell's divine descent technique was not completely completed. We just had an encounter with the so-called false god." Harof said helplessly.
"She only used one spell from beginning to end... I managed to block it, but I had no confidence in breaking it!" Vittorio added. "In fact, if Master Lin hadn't sneakily killed the caster, Adwell, I'm afraid we would have died there!"
At this point, Vittorio paused, recalling the powerful magic that seemed to be able to prohibit time and space, and defeated their magic in an instant. Even the powerful and strange "Eternal Flame" mastered by Lin En was not immune.
When these words were spoken, all the wizards present were shocked.
Regarding the battle in the capital, the two speakers, Lin En, and Master Raphael had kept silent before. They could only learn some inside information from the few words of Peirce and others. So they had always believed that the two legendary speakers defeated the false god who dominated the church and successfully expelled the other party.
However, they did not expect that the facts were so different from what they imagined.
If even the Legendary Speakers have no hope of defeating the other party, then the next time the other party uses this kind of divine magic again, won't they be at the mercy of others?
Thinking of this, Sanchez and others became worried, and noisy discussions soon echoed in the conference room.
Some even thought that they should immediately withdraw from the Kingdom of Hadrata, return to the land of wizards, defend the sea, and then find a way to repair the defenses of the Sea of Mist.
Such remarks soon gained the support of nearly half of the wizards. Since the strength of the false god [Ella] was far beyond their expectations and there was no hope of defeating the opponent, it would be better for them to stay in the wizard land like before.
Seeing that the comments of the "cowardly faction" were getting more and more intense, Lin En could no longer sit still and had to speak out to remind them.
"Don't forget that the Holy See sent an expeditionary fleet to the Sea of Misty Sea this time. This means that they must have found a way to locate the wizard's land. If they want to go back and defend it now, they are just waiting to die!"
The area of the Wizarding Land is too small, with a population of only 600,000 and a serious shortage of resources. Continuing to remain closed as before will greatly hinder the development of industry.
Moreover, they have devoted a lot of time and energy to the Magic Kingdom project, and invested countless resources. If they withdraw now, they will suffer a huge loss!
"Then what can we do, Master Lin? Even if you and the two speakers work together, you still can't defeat that false god, right? At least in the wizard land, we can take advantage of the terrain to block the Vatican's punitive army at sea." A great wizard who supported the turtle faction said with a little annoyance.
Tik also nodded. If there was a way, no one would want to curl up like this.
The victory in these two wars was won at the cost of the lives of many wizards, and they also made great contributions...
"At least we are still standing here, which means things are not bad enough to require evacuation." Lin En said calmly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"I think [Gate of Heaven] is not a divine spell that can be used lightly. Otherwise, when the Imperial Fleet was severely damaged, the enemy should have used God's Descent..."
"Isn't that right? Lady Aurora?" Lin En turned around and asked.
Aurora nodded. This was exactly what she had guessed.
The congressmen present suddenly fell into deep thought. They were frightened by the words of the two speakers just now. Only now did they realize that the Holy See should not be able to perform divine intervention at will.
"Lord Vittorio, have you found any useful information from the mind of the captured cardinal?" Lin En looked at the [Magic Creator] on the side and asked expectantly.
After the war in the kingdom ended, they captured many priests and bishops alive. The most senior one among them was Cardinal Pulson, who was also the person most likely to know this information.
However, due to the reasons of faith, this was not an easy task. Pulson's memory was protected by a powerful divine power. Rashly using psychic magic to explore his memory could easily backfire, so this job was done by Vittorio.
"Based on Purson's memory, that kind of divine descent technique might require the price of a legend!" Vittorio said thoughtfully.
In just five days, he was not able to completely crack Purson's brain, but he still got a lot of useful information.
For example, in the hundreds of years of history of the Holy See, there were only six records of the use of [Gate of Heaven]. The casters were undoubtedly legendary clergymen, and these people often resigned and retreated to the second line after the war, and some of their lifespans were even greatly reduced. One of the saints even died within a few years.
It is obvious that it is not so easy to carry the power of God, because once this spell is performed, regardless of success or failure, the Holy See will inevitably lose a top combat force.
In addition, he speculated that Ella's true body might be in another space, the so-called heaven, and was subject to some kind of restrictions, and could not stay in the outside world for a long time...
Vittorio told all his speculations.
Sanchez and the others were slightly relieved. This way, they didn't have to worry about the false god suddenly flying over and killing them all while they were sleeping one day.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, no legend would easily give up his power and life.
According to their intelligence, the Holy See now has five legendary beings - Edwill is an accident, an existence beyond the intelligence.
There should be only one such example. After all, it is not so easy to break through the legend.
You have to know that the existing legendary speakers in the Wizarding Land have accumulated their reputations entirely over time, and their lifespans are even longer.
Great wizards can break through the limits of the human body and live to about 200 years old, but no one knows how long a legendary wizard can live...
For example, the oldest speaker among all the speakers, Vittorio, has an unknown age, but he has been in the wizard land for more than 300 years, and his experience is also very mysterious. It is rumored that this legendary speaker’s talent is not good, and he did not break through to the legendary realm until he was over 180 years old...
Chapter 374: Since we can’t defeat the enemy at the atomic level, let’s try quantum!
After the analysis of [Magic Creator] Vittorio, the fear of God's descent among the congressmen present was reduced a lot. Since there was no way to fight against the false God for the time being, they tried to avoid direct contact with the other party.
They could do what Master Lin and the legendary speakers did this time, directly killing the caster to interrupt the divine spell, or they could use assassination to eliminate the commander of the Holy See's divine punishment army, the chief judge, and other high-ranking officials one by one...
Amid the heated discussions among the crowd, Lynn was not so optimistic.
No matter how much they tried to avoid it, that goddess would sooner or later become an enemy they would have to face.
Moreover, the clergy of the church cannot be judged by common sense. Some fanatics are completely crazy and are willing to give up everything for God.
In their view, death may just be returning to the Lord's arms in advance.
As for how to defeat [Ella], Lin En already had some ideas in his mind.
Since the opponent is able to manipulate magic, divine arts, and simulated atoms and molecules with incredible precision, it would be wishful thinking to defeat him at this level.
Their only hope is to overtake others and enter the more microscopic quantum realm to develop magic powerful enough to kill gods!
Just as Lin En was thinking, Harov suddenly spoke up. "Master Lin En, I wonder what the [Secret Law Society] thinks about the war between the Church and the Kingdom?"
Hearing this, the discussion in the conference room suddenly subsided. Raphael and others suddenly remembered that in addition to the Wizard Council, people from the [Arcane Society] were also involved in this war.
This is a powerful foreign aid!
Although they don't know much about this mysterious wizard organization, they can get some clues from various aspects.
For example, the several members of the Secret Society that they know now are all outstanding wizards.
There is no need to talk about Lin En. I don't know which legendary wizard of the [Society of Mysticism] trained him. Not only has he broken through to become a great wizard at such a young age, he also has extraordinary attainments in mathematics, force field, elements, and alchemy.
In the two years since arriving in the Land of Wizards, he has obtained a corona and two silver moon medals... and has become a magic star that everyone is paying attention to!
If Master Lin En had not published any important papers on shaping and alchemy, they would have almost thought that he was omnipotent.
There is also Anthony, the Six-ring Great Wizard, who developed powerful thunder magic on his own. It can be said that he created a new school with his own strength, allowing formal wizards to control the power of thunder...
Finally, there is Master Leibniz, who proposed calculus. His argument with a great wizard named Zeno about the tortoise race went viral throughout the wizarding land, triggering a debate about movement and stillness, finite and infinite.
Therefore, in Raphael's opinion, the members of the [Society of Secret Arts] are a group of talented and knowledgeable wizards, among whom there should also be legendary wizards. If they are willing to cooperate sincerely with the parliament, then their possibility of defeating the Holy See will be greatly increased.
Under the expectant gaze of the congressmen, Lin En spoke carefully. "There is a lot of debate within the [Secret Law Society] about this war with the Church. There are quite a few people who support it, but in the end, there are more people who are on the sidelines. Many people also think that our strength alone is not enough to defend the entire kingdom..."
After listening to Lin En's story, Raphael and the others finally understood that the [Secret Law Society] was a loose academic organization that preferred to recruit academic researchers. Everyone usually gathered in their own small universe, and they might not even know each other's identities...
However, the so-called identity and status are not valued within the society, because knowledge is everything here!
The members of the [Arcane Society] had different views on this war, and it was impossible for them to organize a large number of people to come to reinforce like the Parliament.
While Lin En was supplementing the settings of the [Secret Society], he was secretly thinking that he would have to fool more wizards from the kingdom and the empire in the future and let them join the school as members of the society, so that he could fool people.
"As for the leaders of the [Mystical Society], I think they should have some interest in that false god." Lin En spoke again.
"Could it be that they want to join the war to destroy the Holy See?" Harov said with surprise and joy.
"I don't know about that." Lynn shook his head.
Aurora at the side suddenly asked, "I heard that the [Secret Society] asked you to enter the wizard land and give the Secret Ring to the wisest person, so you gave it to Harof, is that right?"
Lin En heard the dissatisfaction in the witch's words and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
At that time, he only knew one legendary wizard, Harof, and Aurora and Vittorio were the masters of the School of Prophecy and the Alchemy Institute, and neither of them was the most suitable target.
"The [Secret Society] never rejects knowledgeable people like the two presidents. The last time was just a preliminary contact and understanding. I think you will definitely receive an invitation for the next discussion meeting."
Aurora and Vittorio nodded. They were very interested in the secret society. Harof was looking forward to it but also a little worried. After all, he almost lost face when he attended the legendary gathering last time.
He spent more than a year trying to understand the theories and conjectures the other party had given about the formation of the world, but still couldn't fully understand them...
