Chapter 61 The Emperor and the Mage

The dark clouds in the royal capital have actually lasted for more than 100 years.

The curse and wrath of the gods were only aimed at the capital of that huge human empire, and they didn't have the time to cover those humans attached to the capital.What's more, their power can't reach such a distant place at all.

As the center of the confrontation between the will of the gods and the will of the mage, the royal city itself is full of veins and grids arranged by the church and the mage.In those horrible wars back then, the two sides relied on this magic-fortified city to carry out assaults and counter-assaults one after another.I don't know how many priests and mages have shed blood on this city.Not to mention how many traps and spells still reverberate inside.Although it can't cause any lethal effect, the strong aura inside still reverberates in the capital.

Many dissatisfied nobles and religious people said that this is the tyranny of the human empire that the gods can't see, and they want to use dark clouds to punish these increasingly arrogant mages and royal families.But in fact, the entire royal family stayed in this cloudy capital all the time without even a single thing happening.In a hundred years, except for the fall of the gods one by one, everything else remained the same.

nowhere.Devil's land.The land where the gods fell.The source of darkness and chaos.The beginning of all evil.

In the mouths of the rural nobles and diehards, this king, full of glory and power, is undoubtedly the root of the world's evil.It is not wrong to even say that this capital is the most fundamental original sin in the world.Rumors such as these have been interacting in the village and among certain ill-intentioned people.And the mages who are the real controllers just smiled slightly when they heard these wild words.Don't even care about it, just let them go.

What's strange is that the outskirts of Wangcheng are not full of haze and clouds like Wangcheng.

The suburbs are very close to the royal city, but unlike the always gloomy and weird royal capital, it is full of sunshine and vibrant colors like other parts of the world.Even though the distance is less than one kilometer, it is the difference between Gensokyo and Hell.

Under the contrast of this difference, apart from the royal family who want to express their determination, there are not many normal people in the whole capital.The rest are the students who need to hone their will, the mages who need a quiet environment, the necessary cleaning staff and the guys who do shady jobs.And those ministers would rather get up an hour early and go to see His Majesty in a carriage than live in the spooky capital.Except for those weird nobles, most of the people who can live there well are mentally ill.

And the places where these ministers live are usually relatively concentrated.Although they said they were going to leave the capital, they still wanted to see His Majesty after all.Even if you don't want to see His Majesty, you have to be dragged to see His Majesty.So these smart people with good brains quickly decided to simply take down a small town as their place of residence.It is now the famous Crown Town.

As a place full of generals and ministers, people here usually have a kind of pride and complacency.Even a gatekeeper raised his head high, like a proud rooster, for fear of losing face to his master.

The buildings in Crown Town also have very wonderful features.The people living here are more or less the core of power in this country.It's natural to think about where you live.It is impossible for the royal family to come out from the cloudy imperial capital to inspect their living places, so these ministers and nobles are trying to make their family business more stylish and show their status Noble and powerful.

Although they are a bunch of rootless duckweeds compared to those who live in the capital, they feel that their actions are very meaningful.And as time goes by, they spend even more money to make their residence beautiful.The architectural art contained in a small crown town is enough for any builder to treat it as a specimen.

But in the most prosperous part of this beautiful and beautiful Crown Town, there is a besieged city abruptly.

To be precise, it is not considered a siege, because it is purely a concrete barrier with four walls and a ceiling.The gray sky is like the sky of the royal capital not far away. Even if there are those beautiful buildings around, the feeling of numbness can still bring a little spiritual refreshment to these pampered adults. shock.

Because it is located on the only way to the king's capital, many adults secretly feel that the gray wall is a hint from their king to them.After all, that is a powerful emperor who has mastered the resources of tens of millions of people. In this world, no one can be more powerful than that person.The gray-black siege undoubtedly means that their wonderful life is all forged by the dark sky.In my heart, I feel somewhat in awe of the emperor sitting high in the darkness.

Unfortunately, there were indeed people living in the besieged city.Moreover, the people who lived inside couldn't even manage the emperor who was always shrouded in darkness.Because a group of mages lived in the besieged city.

The Imperial Mages are not, in essence, a fully integrated organization.Or not a complete organization in the traditional sense.They are headed by seven sages and divided into seven rings of mages.Each ring is responsible for completely different characters, and the tasks are often unrelated.No one can order another ring to do something, only let them make their own decisions.

In addition to the use of the power of the four rings to open up the two major battlefields of heaven and earth, the number of times mages have reunited to fight against the enemy in the entire history can be counted on the fingers.Even when declaring war on the gods, there are only eight rings gathered together.At that time, there were a total of eleven sages sitting in the imperial mage group.The direct result of disunity was that the eight sages who went on the expedition became three, and together with the remaining sages, they formed the current seven rings of mages.Although there have been several sages who have died, new sages will soon appear to supplement them, maintaining the absolute majesty of the Imperial Mages.

Even if the Seventh Ring is close to splitting and the name of the Imperial Mages exists in name only, those demons and angels will never dare to really block their national fortunes because they will not send troops to help other mages.After all, it is the most powerful force known in this world. Even if the seven rings only need to gather the power of the third ring, they can easily defeat angels or demons.They don't dare to really annoy those lunatics who possess terrifying power, they still want to linger on.

But this does not mean that those young mages have an opinion on their way of life.

Does anyone know where the mages are actually hiding here?All they care about is their own interests. As long as they don't shake their superior status, they don't bother to care about everything in the mundane world.But the young mages always feel that where to live and where to enforce tyranny is also the right that a mage should have.

Some young mages cannot understand the ideas and actions of the older generation on sustainable development.In their eyes, this world is undoubtedly in their pocket.How to arrange one's own things is one's own business, and it is not up to other people to intervene.Even if he is in the most beautiful world, he still has to maintain his maverick appearance.In the eyes of some young mages, this is what a real mage should do.

Master Edmund was such a person.

"My lord, I have returned the message to Grand Wizard Kaos as you requested. But he is not satisfied."

Edmund, the ghost who bid farewell to Kaos, stood respectfully in the shadow of the besieged city, using his unique mind fluctuations to report his work progress, and by the way, express a little anger towards that weird Kaos .

"That greedy guy will never follow the steps. He is as simple as eating and drinking for betrayal and sneak attacks. It is simply impossible to expect such a person to have so-called human ethics. My lord, that person even now This has already weakened to the point of a congressman wizard, and his combat power is absolutely comparable to that of an ordinary great wizard. Why should we tell them the ideas and dreams of our great organization? That lunatic will never understand us."

"...You talk a little too much, Yin Hun. This is not something you can think about. Things like knowledge and information do not mean that the more you know, the better. Instead, it can bring you a huge battle in many cases. Calamity. I hope you can understand this. You don't have to think about my affairs at all, you only need to think about yourself."

A man's dissatisfied voice came from the darkness.Facing his master, Edmund could only humbly lower his head, admitting that his wisdom was vastly different from that of the man in front of him, and he couldn't even touch it.

"You're right, my master. As a replica, I'm really too much."

Yinhun's distorted and frenzied spirit is full of obedience and admiration for the man in front, of course there is no second reason.Since they can become the clone of the 'Edmund' wizard, then a subject will naturally appear.And this subject is the voice in the darkness, the great middle-aged man sitting on a chair and thinking about world relations.

A frightening man who could truly be a crowd leader.

The resistance of the masses is actually meaningless in the eyes of real leaders.Anyway, they have no strength and no organization. How big a storm can a mess of loose sand cause? 1 idiots can't contribute as much as one really smart person.

As long as those really smart people don't have brain cramps to rebel against the imperial government, even if 1 idiots preach the horrors of the empire, they will never think of rebelling against the empire.The scary thing is that a smart man was deceived by lard and wanted to fight against the empire.A group of idiots with a leader is a mob, and a mob with hope and faith is a group of humanoid butchers.If this leader still has the blessing of this supernatural power, then it will undoubtedly be a disaster.

Wizard Edmund felt like a disaster.He felt that he was more suitable to sit on the throne.
