Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 328 Arrangements before leaving the Western Territory

  The fire crackled and burned, and after a while the dead wood and vines fell apart and turned into a fire. The firelight irradiated the crystal ball, the astrolabe gradually disappeared, and the poisonous scorpion pattern formed by the starlight also slowly disappeared.

   Then the crystal ball cracked with a "snap", and then shattered into pieces and sprinkled on the table.

Luke looked at the burning fire and replied to Mavesman: "When the World Tree was burned in ancient wars, a mysterious energy was produced. This mysterious energy penetrated into the roots of the World Tree to turn the world The complete destruction of the tree is the only goal of its own existence.

  It coexists with the World Tree. When the World Tree recovers this time, it also produces consciousness. Destroying the World Tree becomes the only support for its existence.

  Its name is disaster. "

   "Disaster?" Mevesman looked at the dagger in his hand, and then at the gradually burning fire: "Is the one I just killed the disaster? It doesn't seem... not strong."

   "Catastrophe does not exist as an entity, it is an emotional creature that exists in the form of energy. As long as the World Tree exists, it cannot be destroyed, at least I don't know how to destroy it.

  From the moment the new World Tree is revived, the catastrophe will incarnate into all things, using all means to induce and brainwash people to have hatred for the World Tree. What you just killed was just one of its countless incarnations, and soon it will reappear in another place, looking for a suitable target. "

  Luke's words reminded Mavesman of the divination just now, and he couldn't help but feel palpitations.

   "My lord governor, you... Is what you saw from the astrology just now true?

  I, I will be controlled by Calamity to attack the World Tree! "

  At this time, Mavesman had no sharpness as before, and she was in a trance, as if her spirit had suffered a heavy blow.

  Just now she paid homage to the Queen of Moonlight with a very pious heart, secretly offering her loyalty to the World Tree. But the divination astrology told her that she would attack the World Tree in the future...

  She dared not face the future, feeling that she was already a heinous sinner.

  Luke looked at the battered Mavesman, and couldn't help but recall the previous game plot.

  The newly born World Tree continued to nurture the world it could cover with its extremely selfless character, but the Moonlight Royal Court did not have the strength to integrate the barbarians of the Western Region into a united group, and was very conservative in doing things because of the influence of the World Tree.

  The nobles of the western region enjoy the blessings brought by the world tree, and at the same time exploit the barbarians of the western region in various ways. Some of the barbarians who could not get shelter from the Moonlight Royal Court and the World Tree, their beliefs were gradually shaken, and they were taken advantage of by the disaster.

  The power against the World Tree is growing rapidly. They believe that the World Tree is obliterating the bloodiness of the barbarians in the western border, so they launched many large-scale attacks on the Moonlight Royal Court.

  Mevesman died in a battle against the World Tree.

  She was stabbed to death under the World Tree by the Moonlight Knight, vomited blood and asked loudly to the World Tree: Why was she so weak after being revived after dying once? Why give blessings to people who don't believe in you at all! Why watch your people being killed, but you are indifferent!

  In the battle to defend the World Tree, Clear Sky accepted the corresponding task, so Luke was very impressed with Mavesman.

   "Of course it's all fake!" Luke said relaxedly: "The words of Disaster Mie are just to lure you to continue to contact it in the future, and then slowly change your thinking.

   As for whether you are bewitched by it in the end, it still depends on your own will and belief in the world tree.

  I'm just talking about a possibility. Moreover, the trajectory of the entire world is changing, and the astrology has also become blurred. The destiny you see may not be your real destiny. "

Luke's words made Mavesman feel a lot more comfortable. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I never believed in this kind of astrology before, but I believe I will never do anything. Desecrating the world tree.

  Now that I know of the existence of Disaster, I will pursue it endlessly. No matter how many incarnations it has, I will turn it to ashes! "

   Saying that, Mavesman became serious.

  Trying to destroy the world tree is unforgivable!

  Trying to confuse yourself to destroy the world tree is even more unforgivable!

Luke saw that Mevesman had such determination, so he said his purpose of coming to her this time: "You can't do it alone. As the number of people bewitched by it increases, Its power is definitely getting stronger.

  You need to form a team, gather people who are willing to sacrifice to protect the World Tree, and specialize in hunting and killing the heretics controlled by it.

   This will be a task that will exhaust your life and be passed down from generation to generation. As long as the world tree exists, hunting will never stop! "

  The sudden sense of mission made Mevsman awe-inspiring, and it also allowed her to find the meaning of her life.

   What could be a more meaningful life than forming a team to hunt and kill disasters, and passing this work down from generation to generation?

  Mevesman saluted Luke solemnly: "I am willing to accept this job, and I am willing to dedicate everything to protect the World Tree."

Luke took out a metal badge and handed it to Mavesman: "This is the 'Wunhunter' command badge issued by the Moonlight Queen. Her Majesty the Queen does not want the public to know about the existence of Calamity. Excessive exposure is very likely to make Some actively seek out Calamity, so hunting for Calamity must be done in secret.

  Because your work will inevitably hurt innocent people, the Moonlight Royal Court will not recognize the 'Demon Hunting Squad' as a subordinate organization of the Royal Court, but you can be buried in Moon Lake after death, and become tree men to accompany the World Tree.

   All your funds are provided by Raging City through secret channels. "

  Mevesman received the Demon Hunt Squad Command Badge, which was cast in gold with frosted particles on it. The pattern is a tree-man seedling, which seems to indicate the final destination of the Demon Hunt Squad.

   At this moment, Mavesman realized that accepting this job should not be done on impulse. In the process of hunting, the hunter is also the prey. Calamity can be hunted countless times, and members of the demon hunting group only need to be hunted back once.

  The mission and responsibility I have undertaken are as heavy as the gold that casts the badge.

   "Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Queen! Every successful hunt we kill against Calamity is a successful protection of World Tree.

   Life is endless, hunting is endless! "

  Luke stood up and patted Mevesman on the shoulder: "Tomorrow, the Moonlight Queen and I will leave the Western Territory together, and use our way to fight for a wider space for the Moonlight Court.

  The task of protecting the World Tree and the Royal Court is entrusted to the Moonlight Knights and you "Demon Hunting Squad".

  If you encounter any difficulties, you can send someone to find me in Saint Lun City or Raging Waves City. "

Mevesman put away the command badge: "Thank you, Governor... I have a request. The kid you bought at Slave Corner last time is very smart. If he can receive a better education, he will definitely become a fighter beyond me. "

   "That slave..." Luke thought of the pair of slave mother and child he bought for the Kestrel, and that child did have abilities beyond his peers. Luke didn't think too much, and said: "Raging Wave City will open a public school in the grassland of the ancestors, and the Moonlight Royal Court will also open a public college.

  I don't want to cultivate children with a purpose, which is inconsistent with the spirit represented by World Tree. If you think he is smart, send him to school, and let him choose his own path when he becomes an adult. "

  Mevesman instantly felt how selfish and dirty his previous thoughts were. He cultivated Oak himself just to teach him to be a tool for his own interests.

  Those rich and powerful people are doing this, selecting ignorant and ignorant children, erasing their innocence and thoughts, and training them into machines without emotions.

  However, the governor of Meteorite wants to set up a school on the grassland of the ancestors, and impart knowledge selflessly to the next generation.

  Just like the world tree, it bestows favor on everyone regardless of poverty or poverty.

  Mevesman saluted Luke sincerely: "The barbarians in the western region will always remember the kindness of the governor."

   "This is given to you by Her Majesty the Moonlight Queen. Do it well and kill the disaster like a bereaved dog."

   After speaking, Luke walked out of the tent.

  Mavesman touched the badge in his arms, and after stepping out of the tent, he saw Luke walking into the crowd. She didn't go after Luke, but walked in another direction, she was going to gather people to form the "Demon Hunting Squad".

  At this time, on the central island castle of Sunyao Manor, Qingkong stood on the terrace of the west tower and meditated in the direction of the World Tree.

  The connection with the World Tree is much weaker during the day, and the resonance of homologous energy can only convey simple information. But at night, the moon can serve as a good relay, allowing Clear Sky to communicate with World Tree.

   Therefore, even if the sky is clear and far away from the western region, you can still learn about what happened in the Moonlight Court at night, and pass on the Queen's Sacred Tale to the Presbyterian Court.

  Agatha walked up the tower along the spiral staircase, and after seeing the clear sky, she jokingly said, "Should I call you Your Majesty the Queen, or Miss Weather Sky as before."

  Qingkong turned around: "The status of queen has burdened me with too many responsibilities, I think Qingkong is more suitable for me."

  Agatha walked to Qingkong's side, and the view from here was even wider. The streets were full of people and livestock walking around. The Harvest Festival made Sunshine City the most densely populated place in the entire Western Territory.

   "I didn't find Meteor. He is not in the castle. It seems that something important prevents him from coming to see you."

  Qingkong said: "I asked him to go out of the city to do something for me. And he told you what I mean and the position of the Moonlight Royal Court. It doesn't really matter if he is here or not."

  Agatha never expected that Qing Kong would arrange for her to go out to do some errands for Meteor, which she couldn't find after searching for a long time. She couldn't help but smiled and said: "Yes, I almost forgot that Meteor is also serving as the Queen's Chief Counselor of the Moonlight Royal Court.

   Regarding the position of the Moonlight Royal Court, Meteor has indeed told me everything, and I am willing to support it.

  But there are some things that I need to talk to you face to face.

  How do you ensure that the Moonlight Court does not threaten the national security of the empire? "

  Qing Kong asked back: "Can you guarantee that the Golden Shield Empire will not threaten the safety of the Moonlight Royal Court?"

  Agatha said: "It seems that none of us can guarantee each other's safety."

   Qingkong felt that Agatha's words to her had become a little sharp. But she said to Luke: The West Territory will be permanently stable in the future. Why do you talk about national security issues when you see yourself?

  Women... are indeed unpredictable and fickle creatures.

   "No! As the Queen of the Moonlight Court, I can make a security guarantee to the Golden Shield Empire. As long as the empire does not threaten the survival and safety of the Moonlight Court, the Moonlight Court will not take any hostile actions against the Golden Shield Empire.

  Can you make this promise to the Moonlight Royal Court? "

   The pressure was on Agatha.

  She looked at the smile Qingkong gave herself, and suddenly realized that she had made a very serious diplomatic mistake, and it was a very low-level mistake.

  This kind of thing should not be discussed on this occasion and at this moment, and I don’t have an equal identity and clear sky, so I still discuss such an important national security issue in a grudge way.

   Agatha hid her embarrassment with a smile: "I was rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty the Queen."

   "I forgive you, Princess Agatha. Regarding the government affairs of the Moonlight Royal Court, I have handed over internally to the Elders' Court of the Royal Court, and externally I have given full authority to Meteor.

  For any foreign affairs in the future, you can just find Meteor. I still like to be a magic professor and impart knowledge to my students. "

   Agatha said: "Thank you for your understanding, and may the friendship between the Golden Shield Empire and the Moonlight Royal Court last forever."

   "May the friendship last forever. I still have to communicate with World Tree. If Her Royal Highness has nothing else to do, please come back!"

  Qing Kong issued an order to evict guests, and Agatha knew that Qing Kong's character was like this, so she saluted and left.

  Clear Sky re-faced the direction of the World Tree and entered meditation, and the consciousness passed the information that he had just met Agatha to Luke.

At this time, Luke has returned to Sunshine City, drinking kumiss in the courtyard rented by Kuaileg, and at the same time discussing how to infiltrate the information network of the Reform Agency into the western region, and provide financial and intelligence support for the Demon Hunt Squad. .

  Received Qingkong's message, Luke didn't expect Qingkong to push Agatha back just like that. But there is no way, I can only give her a part of the soul to form her consciousness, and EQ is something that can't be divided at all, making Qingkong look very cold and difficult to get along with.

  But this time Qingkong can't be blamed, it's Agatha who is looking for trouble. The Moonlight King's Court is such a big place, and the problem of its own survival has not been resolved. What threat can it pose to the Golden Shield Empire?

  Besides, my interests are tied to the empire, so what good will a war between the two do to me? You worry about a wool!

  A princess who is usually very shrewd, why is she suddenly acting stupid today?

  Luke and Clear Sky exchanged information about each other, and told the past about meeting Mavesman and forming the "Demon Hunting Squad".

  This time, the Moonlight King’s Court has a more efficient elder’s house and a centralized and aggressive queen. The environment in the western region is much better than the game’s plot. In the uninterrupted hunting of the "Demon Hunting Squad", disaster should not cause a big storm in a short time...

After Luke finished communicating with Qingkong, he continued drinking wine and said to Kuaileg: "Tomorrow, the mission will leave the western region and return to St. Lun City. You people still need to stay here for a while. Keep an eye on those noble lords, don't let They made things bad for us after we left.

   What's more, the second prince may send people to the western region to make troubles and drive them out!

   Earl Ould should be trustworthy, and his strength can be used if necessary. "

  Quick Leg replied: "Please rest assured, Governor, just leave the Western Territory to me."
