Red Ponytail already knew what the Pope was going to say when she was investigating the Confessions.
When Red Ponytail first came to this world, she felt very strange. As she had wondered, only nobles could use magic, and commoners could not. This was actually a very strange thing. Because from a probability point of view, even if it was one in a million, it was impossible for a commoner to have no magic qualifications. Because of this, Red Ponytail once investigated this.
And all of this has to start from the ancestor.
Six thousand years ago, in another world, there were two races. One of them was the "Varyag" who could not use magic but could make all kinds of tools and equipment, and the other was the "Maki" who could use magic. For unknown reasons, the two sides fought a war, and the well-equipped Varangians defeated the Maki. In order to avoid the danger of the whole tribe being destroyed, one of the magicians opened the door to another world and let his people escape to the new world to avoid the pursuit of Varangians.
And that person is the ancestor.
That's right. To put it bluntly, all the nobles who can use magic in this world are not native to this world, but outsiders. They came to this world six thousand years ago and established their own country. The natives of this world are barbarians and elves. The elves used to get along well with them, but then...something happened that changed the attitudes of both sides.
It was after the Maki people migrated to this world that the ancestor discovered the secrets of this continent. He even found the root of the problem - the cause of the destruction of the continent was the Elf Mountain Range, which was regarded as a holy place by the elves. In fact, the mountain range itself was a huge Elf Stone. It was because it absorbed unparalleled power that it spread to every corner of this continent and finally exploded.
At that time, the ancestor also found a solution, which was to use his magic to completely destroy the mountain. In this way, the crisis on this continent could be eliminated.
But the elves were unwilling to accept this. They regarded the mountain as a holy mountain. Moreover, as long as they lived there, no matter what changes happened on the continent, it would not affect them. The negotiations between the two sides ended in failure.
Finally, the First Ancestor made a decision.
He used the void magic he mastered to destroy the holy mountain and the elves' city at the foot of the holy mountain in one blow. Half of the elves died under the magic of the ancestor, and the continent was saved.
But for the elves, the ancestor who destroyed the holy mountain and killed their fellow countrymen is naturally an out-and-out demon.
It is also because of this that the relationship between elves and humans began to deteriorate rapidly and evolved into the situation today.
"etc."
However, upon hearing this, Tabatha suddenly asked.
"Didn't the ancestor discover the root of the problem and destroy the holy mountain? Then why did the same disaster happen again six thousand years later?"
However, this time, the one who answered her was the yawning Red Ponytail.
"It's simple. It wasn't blown up completely."
"……Why?"
Faced with this unexpected answer, everyone was stunned, while the girl with red ponytail patted her belly and took an orange from the side.
"Although you are talking about the ancestor and so on, he is just a magician after all. Even if he is more powerful than mortals, he is still just a mortal. Isn't that what they mean by "not being able to do what you want"? The explosion was not complete and left a tail. Giving you 6,000 years of buffer time is not enough. But I guess the ancestor didn't expect that his descendants are so useless. After 6,000 years, they are still in such a mess..."
At this point, Red Ponytail snorted. So, feudal civilization has curbed the development of productivity. Six thousand years, six thousand years, but these people seem to have only lived for six hundred years. I don't know what the ancestor would think if he saw his descendants being so useless.
“…”
Hearing this, everyone didn't know what to say for a moment, while Red Ponytail looked at the Pope with a smile.
"But, I am a little curious. You don't really think that you can retake the Holy Land with your level of civilization, do you?"
That’s right, the “holy land” that the Pope mentioned is not the land occupied by elves as people imagine, but the land of another world behind the portal.
This is the world where the "Staff of Destruction" exists.
Another Earth.
This is also the reason why Red Ponytail felt nothing in her heart when she heard the Pope talk about the holy war, and even wanted to laugh.
She has already investigated, if nothing unexpected happens, then the "Earth" in that world should be the world where Mai Lu and Main lived before they crossed over, so it would be clear why there are so many crossovers in this world. After all, the five worlds originally belonged to the same planet, and later each evolved into a different world, but they are still more or less connected to each other...
Therefore, it is normal for Mailu and Maine to travel to another world.
But the problem is that the Earth civilization in that world... is in the 21st century.
And what about this world?
A bunch of medieval natives...hahahaha.
Of course, they are medieval natives who can use magic.
But aren’t they still medieval natives?
If a war really breaks out, it's hard to say who will invade whom.
"I'm just curious about where your confidence comes from. Six thousand years ago, your ancestors were beaten so badly that they had to flee in fear. Do you have half the power of your ancestors now? And you dare to clamor for a counterattack on the mainland?"
Red Ponytail could even imagine the people in this world riding horses and wearing armor rushing into the earth, and then being crushed to pieces by bombers and tanks.
Are you sure you are not going to die?
"Anyway, this is our only chance. I know this, but in order to survive, we have no choice."
The Pope's face turned a little dark, but he still explained helplessly.
"No choice, bullshit. To put it bluntly, you just can't do it. Leave it to me and I'll take care of it."
Red Ponytail yawned.
"I will not allow you to invade other worlds, but the problem you mentioned is indeed a problem, so as long as I solve it, there will be no problem, right?"
"That's right, but...how do you plan to solve it?"
"Don't worry about it. I have a solution."
Red Ponytail waved her hand.
"But I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
"Hand over your power of nothingness."
"Varied……?"
Hearing this, the Pope's expression suddenly changed.
"What do you mean?"
"In simple terms? Well, to put it bluntly, the power of nothingness that your ancestor originally used belongs to the same god as my Lord. Now my Lord wants to take back that power, so I came to take it. Since you said that you only want to save the world, then hand over the power."
As she spoke, the girl with red ponytail stretched out her hand and made a gesture of taking out money towards the Pope.
Looking at the red ponytail, the Pope hesitated for a moment.
"What if I say no?"
"I guess you don't have a choice."
Soon, Red Ponytail gave the answer with a smile.
In the end, the Pope made his decision, and just as Red Ponytail said, he had no choice.
But……
"According to the prophecy, there should be four heirs to the Void..."
"I know that very well."
The girl with red ponytail seemed quite calm, and it was obvious that she understood very well what the Pope meant.
"But I can find the last person myself."
Having said that, Red Ponytail glanced at Anrietta.
"Anrietta can come with me."
"……Why?"
Faced with this unexpected invitation, Anrietta was stunned.
And just like that, the meeting came to an end.
Although the crisis in the world surprised everyone, they were naturally relieved that the envoys from another world were willing to help. Of course, to be on the safe side, they also promised to send people to monitor and investigate the wind stone veins in various places immediately after returning.
As for Anrietta, she followed Red Ponytail to Albion.
"Lord God's Messenger, why did you bring me along?"
Looking at the red-tailed girl humming a song beside her, Anrietta was really confused, while the red-tailed girl shrugged her shoulders.
"It's very simple, because the last heir of the void is your relative."
"My...relatives?"
"Yes, her father is the brother of the previous king of Tristan, do you understand?"
"You mean Archduke Monte?"
Hearing this, Anrietta reacted immediately, but soon she frowned.
"But... I've never heard of it..."
"Haha, you'll know when you see her."
The two talked as they walked, and soon they came to a small village deep in the forest. Most of the people living here were children, and among them, a girl was sitting next to them and telling them stories. Her voice was very gentle and moving, and quite pleasant to hear. But when she saw the girl, Anrietta's eyes widened in surprise.
The reason was simple. The girl had a pair of thin and long ears. Although they looked shorter than those of an elf, it was very obvious that she had elven blood.
"This is……"
"Yes, she is the child of your uncle and his concubine... She is your sister, so to speak."
"I did hear that Archduke Monte seemed to have taken an elf as his concubine. At that time, I thought it was just a rumor..."
Staring blankly at the girl, Anrietta didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Okay, don't just stand there like an idiot."
After patting Anrietta, the girl with red ponytail walked forward with a smile.
"Let's go say hello to her."
