Chapter 829: Powerlessness
If they had not signed the contract, they would not have worked so hard to help the Ring of Truth delay time.
As a legendary resistance organization, the Circle of Truth is a natural enemy of the ruling classes of the three major empires on the continent. It is already hated by everyone, and now it dares to breach the contract again and offend the Cult of Revelation.
Is the Circle of Truth crazy for offending both the black and white worlds? "...The great gods have issued a decree that the Circle of Truth is related to the [High Elf Prophet] and is our irreconcilable and mortal enemy."
At this moment, the Pope of the Revelation Esoteric Church, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke, and his content slightly surprised the two marquises.
High Elf Prophet? Deadly enemy? As ninth-rankers, they had all heard of the name of the High Elf Prophet.
The leader of one of the three ancient legendary races, a transcendent who is suspected to be on a road beyond legend, and the group of elven professionals from the Federation who suddenly arrived across the ocean are also looking for traces related to each other.
Now it seems that what the elves are looking for may be related to the Ring of Truth, and it is even very likely that it has fallen into their hands.
As for the hostility shown by the Revelation Esoteric Sect, it is obviously related to their "gods". I am afraid that some unpleasant incidents occurred between the two in ancient times.
For example, a terrible war.
Considering the final disappearance of the ancient tribes and the mysterious "Great Rip" event, the outcome of the war is likely to be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
But such beings naturally have a backup plan. Now it seems that the founder of the Circle of Truth probably obtained the legacy of the High Elf Prophet, which allowed him to rise suddenly like lightning without any signs.
Unlike the Revelation Cult that is bent on calling for the return of the old gods, for the marquises, the existence of the Ring of Truth actually has more advantages than disadvantages.
Although they verbally denounced the Circle of Truth for violating the contract, the Cult of Revelation, which was able to truly connect with the gods, still needed some checks and balances. Otherwise, how could the importance of their allies be demonstrated?
After exchanging glances secretly, the two marquises had the same idea in their minds.
The news that the Ring of Truth seemed to have obtained the remains of the High Elf Prophet was revealed to the Nature Elves from the Elf King's Court.
No matter how those elves who are too arrogant will react after hearing this news, they will not lose out if they choose to forcibly take back the remains of the high elf prophet or reach a cooperation with the Circle of Truth. . ….….Silver Gull City was attacked by the alien cult again, and the news that Fiona was taken away by the Circle of Truth that suddenly inserted into the battlefield soon caused a certain wave of excitement.
However, considering the current situation in the empire, this originally explosive news can now only be regarded as a wave in the stormy ocean.
Even though Fiona is the legendary star of prophecy, she has not yet fully grown into a strong person who can stand on her own and cannot directly influence the situation in the empire.
Just two days after the attack on Silver Gull City, an even more devastating piece of news grabbed the headlines of all newspapers.
Marquis Alke, who was thought to have died in the Forbidden Zone a long time ago, has miraculously returned! According to his confession, after he fell into the Forbidden Zone, he was accidentally involved in a turbulent flow of time and space. After struggling to get out of it, he was trapped by various dangers in the Forbidden Zone for a long time, so he only successfully returned to the Yar Continent recently.
And the most important thing is that his fall was not an accident, but a conspiracy of the Enoch family, one of the four major families in the empire. Now that he has returned, the first thing he does is to seek revenge. The missing ninth-level person of the Enoch family was his handiwork.
The three royal guardians were outraged by the tragic experience of the Marquis of Arke and ordered the Enoch family to give an explanation, otherwise they would be severely punished.
For the Enoch family, this was the worst possible news. Having suffered a great loss, they could only deal with the royal family's criticism by using official rhetoric while trying to contact allies to protect themselves.
The Marquis of Arke at that time was actually just a pawn supported by the royal family behind the scenes.
After all, the total amount of territory and resources of the empire is limited. After the four major families took half of it, the royal family's reward of nine marquises was already the limit.
The appointment of Alke, who had just broken through the ninth level, as the tenth marquis was an attempt by the royal family to take back some of their rights. At that time, they chose the Enoch family as the target, and at the same time tried to use some conflicts between the four major families to divide them.
The result was also obvious. Not long after Marquis of Alc became in office, he suddenly became interested and went out for an adventure. Unfortunately, an accident happened and the number of marquises in the empire became nine again.
But this chess piece left over during the time of Gloria II has once again played its original role now that even Gloria III has disappeared.
With the support of the royal guardians, Marquis Alk has declared war on the Enoch family. Many small and medium-sized nobles who were originally loyal to the Enoch family have turned against them and joined the Marquis Alk camp, making the Enoch family extremely anxious.
Drifting in the sky city in the deep dream world, Avis rubbed his brows as he looked at the information.
When the perspective is high enough, it is not difficult to see that the four major families of the empire were attacked in a premeditated manner almost at the same time.
Perhaps the forces that launched the attack belonged to different camps, but it is hard to believe that it was purely a coincidence.
At the same time, the reason why the dragon reinforcements that the Aslade family invited from Dragon Island were delayed has also been found out. According to a magical video record sent along with the information, the ones fighting the dragons are none other than the Titans, who belong to the three ancient legendary races.
Anvis had actually heard of the name of Marquis of Arke a long time ago. The female knight Elisa, whom he had met before, was the direct descendant of the marquis.
Taking advantage of the power of the Marquis's return, Alyssa has recently returned to the country to recognize her relatives. At the same time, she brought her friends from the Light of Hope organization, such as Landon and Roche, to join the Marquis of Alk.
At present, their identity has become the Legion of Light of Hope, which is directly under the Marquis, with Alyssa as the legion commander.
Landon is even more amazing. With the help of his grandfather Dark Crow who can cheat at any time, and the "Book of Yellow", he has become a special guest under the Marquis, and has a record of briefly fighting against a ninth-level master without being defeated.
And after Landon's sister Leah solved the problem of crystallization disease and fully released her powerful magical talent, she also shined on the battlefield and won the title of "Crystal Witch".
Looking at these pieces of news, Avis felt that the four major families were now like a ship rapidly drifting towards a cliff waterfall.
I have the advantage in combat power on paper, but in actual combat it is a mess.
As the most powerful prophet in the Yar continent today, from Avis's perspective, the fate of the four major families has clearly been shrouded in a heavy shadow.
Even if he was just peeping, Avis could feel an unprecedented sense of crisis and powerlessness from the shadow.
Just as the stargazer said, fate had developed to the point where he could no longer change it by his own strength.
The empire needs to change, and new professionals need territory and resources. When all conflicts can no longer be covered up, someone must leave.
After the marquises openly attacked the territories of the four major families, the Gloria Empire has now undergone a substantial split, with the four major families and the royal family faction confronting each other.
After sorting out the power he possessed, Avis silently simulated the results of his own intervention, and finally found that even if he exposed all his cards, he could only delay the failure of the four major family camps for a while.
Although his goal was only to protect himself and the people he cherished, no one would be left unscathed when the nest was overturned, and with the four major families destroyed, he would not be able to remain unscathed.
The simulation ended and Avis sighed.
In the final analysis, he is still too weak. If he were a legend now, all problems would be solved by themselves even if he did nothing.
If he was a ninth-rank prophet, then he could at least save the Olivendi family. The Continental Magic Council was able to maintain its independence from the three empires, largely thanks to the Stargazer, who was a ninth-rank peak prophet.
There is only one solution to all this.
Thinking of this, Avis turned his attention to a special clone of his that had been traveling for a long time.
After a long journey, Senior Claire's exploration team finally saw the ancient door leading to the City of Origin.
