Chapter 329: The Battle of Power
"In three days, there will be a team that will transport temple supplies to Questak, and I will arrange for you to leave in that convoy."
Maixil said with a calm expression, as if he had already thought about this matter in his tone.
Fang Yu was a little surprised. "Go to the Sand Capital..." But his most urgent task was to return to Tansnier and find out whether the people on the Dawud were safe. By the way, he also had to report to His Royal Highness the Princess what he found here, which was also a conscientious and an explanation to the employer. "Can I leave halfway?"
The elderly knight looked at him. "The team will not change the way for you alone. But if you have the confidence to cross the desert, I will tell them not to stop you."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. He and the others from the Seven Seas Brigade had been walking back and forth in the Silver Sand Desert, but it was behind Mr. Limestone, and hiking through the sand sea with him was two different things. From Bein to the Sand Capital, it was not along the way with Tansnier. There was a hundred miles of itinerary in the middle. Even locals had to start the road with detailed geographical knowledge, let alone him who knew nothing about the desert.
"So I suggest you take a flight to Tansneer from there after you arrive in Questak." Maishir said calmly.
"The ticket is not cheap..." Fang Ling swallowed these subconscious words back into his stomach. He looked at the calm other party, but his heart was still full of doubts. "But I still want to ask a question, Knight Maihill. Are you not curious at all, why Governor Nurman hunted me? Or is it just the oracle of Ms. Marlan to make you ignore this fact?"
"I know about some reasons. So many people have witnessed the incidents of Being Fortress a few days ago. I can't hide them even if I want to. Although I didn't deliberately inquire, I still heard some rumors." Maixier thought for a while and replied. "As for why I have to do it, there are both reasons."
“It’s both?”
"The oracle of Goddess is only one aspect, and she will only show sage for those who pursue justice, but this is only one of them," Maixil replied lightly: "In addition, I also know more or less what the Governor and the King of the Sand are doing."
Fang Yu looked at him with a slightly wide eyes, his tone of incredibleness: "Do you know?" A hint of surprise flashed in his heart, feeling that Maishir still had some respect for Nurman, but he didn't seem to be so cold to the king of sand Babaltan. He didn't know if this was his own illusion, but he still paid attention to this detail.
"Know some." Maishir looked at him with silver-gray eyes. "The goddess is showing her sage here, which should be related to this matter."
Fang Rong wanted to speak but stopped. Of course he wanted to ask, but he was worried that the other party would not tell him such a secret matter easily.
When Maixil saw his hesitation, he took the initiative to speak: "Actually, it's nothing big. Judging from your appearance, you should have already learned some inside information. To be precise, it is related to blind followers. Although I don't know much about it, the King of Sand probably wants to use those people. The Bishop's view is quite dissatisfied. If you are interested, he will tell you more after you reach Questak."
Fang Yu nodded silently.
Is he a blind follower?
And Babartan is using blind followers?
But what did this king of sand use blind followers to do? Why did he use blind followers?
Fang Yu had a faint outline in his mind, but there were still a lot of details to be added - about the attack ten years ago, about the relationship between His Highness the Princess and the King of Sands, about the purpose of Babaltan and the blind follower, and even about Afifa. However, he knew that the elderly knight in front of him was probably the limit of understanding. The other party might have learned about these things from the Archbishop, but the Marlan Temple's attitude towards Babaltan seemed a little unclear.
Logically speaking, the blind followers of the dark faith and their master, Descartes, should be enemies of the gods of Orin. The secular king who is in love with the cultists should be the target of the temple conquest. However, the attitude of Maixil and the bishop he mentioned does not seem to be the case.
Did you think it was wrong? The secret warlocks did not intervene in this matter to kill people to silence them. The silver little magician cube was not an evil thing either?
Thinking of this, he became more and more curious about Babaltan's motivation.
But curiosity is second-hand. The reason why he intervened so deeply in this matter was that His Highness's commission was now ranked second. More importantly, the blind followers and the blind god Descartes behind them were already linked to the things mentioned by Tangde and Karatu. Whether it was out of vigilance for the dark believers or the uneasiness of the "Star of Disaster" incident, there were reasons to support him to investigate this clue.
Fang Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head again. "Mr. Maishir." The brilliance of the oil lamp swaying in the darkness reflected in his eyes, a little darkness was painted.
The elderly knight just looked at him quietly.
"Do you know the wise man, can you tell me about them?"
"Are you talking about the Eye of Reveal?" Maihir replied: "They were originally believers of Android Ma, but after they left the Lord's Sect, they had today's esoteric sorcerers. The so-called Lord's Sect is the mainstream belief of today's Android Ma sect. They pursue the doctrine of the Lord of Death about death, return and resting. This is also one of the most common beliefs in Istaniya."
"The sect of secret sorcerers are obsessed with Android's ability to foresee death and pursue the fields of foresight and disclosure. The former believes that the latter is on a deviant path, while the latter believes that the former is unconventional and cannot only expand the territory for the gods they respect. More than 300 years ago, the two factions parted ways because of the "Diashuma dispute". The sect of the Lord prohibited the latter from using divine arts again, so the sects turned to the path of specializing in the cultivation of secret techniques."
"But over the past three centuries, they have gradually achieved success in their own fields, and may have long forgotten the past. However, to date, most esoteric warlocks still believe in Android Ma. To be precise, they still believe that Android Ma has the ability to predict and reveal related fields."
While listening, Fang Yu asked Miss Tata privately about the "Diashuma Fight" and learned that it was a dispute about the right to select the Son. And the so-called authority of the gods inevitably evolved into a dispute over the power of mortals on the earth. There was nothing new in this world.
It seems that the wise warlocks are not just losers in political struggles. The so-called battle for the power of the divine power is essentially political struggle in the world of mortals.
But he was very curious about this struggle itself - to be precise, he was very curious about the relationship between the gods of Orin and their believers. Did the believers break up below and the gods didn't care? Isn't this a thing that is closely related to them?
Or is the power of the wise warlocks too small, and Android Ma doesn’t care about it?
The power, domain, responsibilities and doctrine of the Aitalian gods do not seem to be as clear and clear as people imagined? If different people can also have different interpretations of the doctrine, but in this way, what kind of existence are the gods of Orin? How would they view the mortals on earth who may misinterpret their doctrines?
He couldn't help asking this question.
Istaniya is the main faith area between Roman and Android. The dispute between God only has nothing to do with Ms. Marland, so when it comes to other families, Maishire has no intention of avoiding it. "There is only the only faith in the Great Dao, and the Goddess will only select those whom she favors, that is, those with firm faith."
"But what kind of faith is the truth? What is the justice and courage that the lady understands? The gods will not tell the world in person. Because justice and courage will inevitably change with people's hearts. In different eras, we have given it different meanings, and so will the goddess."
“That is why there will be changes in the teachings of the gods.”
"Those who follow the old and cannot keep up with the times will be eliminated. Those who go off the road will fall into depravity because they are too extreme-"
"But the teachings of true justice and courage will be passed down from generation to generation, so the goddess has been there, watching the cycle of the world and the various changes."
Fang Yu was stunned. But he understood a truth: religions on earth always strictly guard against doctrines, because once there is a difference in interpretation, religions will immediately split. In Aitalia, the world where the true gods exist, doctrines themselves do not seem so important.
Because God is only there, waiting for you to discover its faith, thus giving you strength and direction of pursuit.
"Tell me..." After understanding this, Fang Yu asked softly: "For three hundred years, the wise warlocks may not have easily admitted defeat. They are still thinking of ways to prove that their understanding of Android Ma's belief is correct... Until one day, they get the real Xu Yi?"
"perhaps."
Maixil's answer was not sure, obviously he was not concerned about other temple matters.
"But..." Fang Ling was still a little confused. How could Android Ma have a clergy and field that predicted and revealed? Isn't that the clergy of Elaine, the goddess of fate? Or are these secret sorcerers so funny that they actually wanted to seize the clergy of Elaine because of their wishful thinking and guessing that they were trying to seize the clergy of Elaine?
He felt that if Android Ma was not crazy, he would not indulge his believers to do so. In this way, it seems that the reason why these sages failed in political struggles is not unreasonable, because they are simply a group of brain-related psychiatrists.
At this moment, Afeifa's image appeared in his mind, which made Fang Yu shook his head involuntarily, thinking that this reasonable little girl would not be infected by these people.
However, it is understandable that such a group of arrogant and bold people follow Babaltan to use blind followers. They are rebellious enough and hope to obtain worldly authority to carry out their unimaginable plan.
Fang Zhu shook his head again.
The religious dispute actually had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to know who the sage warlock was. From Maixil's words, he obviously had the answer he wanted.
After arranging the matter of leaving Bein, the conversation between the two came to an end as usual.
...
Three days later, Maixil arranged the team for him and prepared to set off.
To be precise, this was not a team specially arranged for him, because the temple of Bein originally had the need to transport daily life and sacrificial materials. At this moment, the half-month storm passed, and daily contacts naturally had to be restored as soon as possible.
The dust storm finally subsided for three days, but the tense atmosphere in the city did not relax for a day, and the guards were still searching for his whereabouts day after day - it seemed that the sages still believed that he had not left the city. The days went back day by day, Fang Yu was a little surprised at first, but later he remembered that the other party was a master of prophetic spells, so he felt a little surprised.
It seemed that Ms. Marlan still protected him and intervened with divine power, which naturally made the other party unable to determine his position.
But the secret warlocks still have two tricks, and it seems that they can still judge how he is in the city. However, this discovery made Fang Yu completely relieved. Since Ms. Marlan was still protecting him, he should not encounter any trouble when he left Beiyin City.
However, although the dust storm subsided, what surprised Fang Yu was that the communication had not yet recovered.
This made him a little confused about what was going on. Could this sandstorm come too violently and completely disrupted the calm Sea of Ether behind Istaniya. Isn’t it possible to calm down in a short time?
The convoy heading to Questak had a total of seven pack beasts, three of which were small sand lizards, used to carry personal supplies, food, water, etc. The main goods were concentrated on the three Bergo Wingless Dragons - the kind of giant beast they had ridden in Tansnier before.
Of course, the Bergo Wingless Dragon in the Temple is not as luxurious as His Royal Highness, but it is larger and can carry more things.
The geological environment of Bein has obvious marine deposition factors. Scholars also believe that this place may have been a huge ancient lake area in history, but it disappeared due to an ancient split. The water-based elements crystal and limestone in Istani are rare among the rock columns here, so most of the pteridae are also on the back of the pteridae.
Since it was a convoy that transported supplies, there was naturally no seat for people to ride, and even if there was one, Fang Zhu did not dare to sit. The elderly knight arranged for him to hide between a pile of boxes filled with crystals, and that place left a space for him, with food and water inside.
Because on the safe side, he would not come out of this place until he left a certain range of Being.
Fang Zhu looked at the heavy boxes around him and knew that when they came back, it would be filled with daily necessities and sacrificial supplies that Bein did not produce. As a military fortress, Bein almost all the daily necessities from outside, so such convoys are very common in this city.
The half-month-long dust storm actually had a great impact on Bein because of the interruption of this transmission. Therefore, it was obvious that it was not only their convoy who left the city on this day. These convoys were bustling at the gate of the city, forming a long dragon.
Because there are too many convoys, the guards will inevitably omit some omissions when checking. Moreover, their convoy also has the temple emblem, so most of the guards along the way are easily allowed to go.
It was like this that they were actually called off until the last door.
Fang Zhu, who was hiding under a pile of boxes, heard the sound coming in from outside, and suddenly felt slightly stunned. Because he recognized the owner of the voice, the middle-aged secret sorcerer he had met in the castle.
The secret sorcerers were actually guarding the city gate at this time to check every team leaving the city. Fang Yu couldn't help but be surprised. Even the Bein Knight might not have been too lazy to do this thing, right? He then realized that A Feifa's disappearance completely made these people anxious, otherwise he would never have done such a thing as the secret sorcerers.
For a moment, he became more and more curious about the girl with the same name as Princess Rupert's sister.
He also asked these days that Afifa is not a common name in Istaniya.
Is there such a coincidence?
However, as soon as this idea was over, Fang Yu suddenly felt a little uneasy again - the secret warlocks are famous for their spells. They shouldn't really find themselves hiding in this convoy, right? Although Ms. Marlan was the guarantee, he always felt that a dignified Olin master god was busy with all his life. What if the other party forgot his little character at once?
Just as he was thinking about something and worried about what was missing, another voice suddenly sounded from outside.
"Mr. Ramonley, this is the convoy of the temple."
When Fang Yu heard this voice, the shock in his heart was even more serious than before. If he was just a little surprised when he heard the voice of the essayer before, it would have almost caused a storm. Because he also knew this voice, and he was also very familiar with it - it was the voice of Ye Hua, one of the only ten kings in the domestic competition area, the King of Rangers, and the voice of Ye Hua.
Speaking of which, during the Varik incident, the letter of recommendation from the other party to Earl Sibika almost killed him in that place. Although he figured it out afterwards, the other party might not know that he would appear in Varik at that time, so the letter may not be aimed at him, but just a simple letter of recommendation.
But when he thought of the trouble he almost fell into at that time, Fang Rong was still a little resentful. Because he actually helped the other party a favor in Dulun at that time. Although his help was not a request for any reward, who wouldn't be a little dissatisfied with the treatment like this?
What's more, Odin, who was actually opposite him, taught him so many things afterwards and took him into the Thousand Gate Hall. In comparison, he couldn't help but think more.
But these ideas quickly disappeared, leaving only one doubt:
But why is Ye Hua here?
