Chapter 50: Meeting of the Defeater of the Demon King and the Former Heroes
The Holy Tower is the capital of the Central Empire of Humanity.
In this era, it is considered the "center of the world".
It is the core of human economy, politics, culture, transportation, and technology.
Inside the city of the Holy Tower, there used to be a Colosseum.
"The Hemoptysis Colosseum".
This Colosseum was once famous far and wide. The blood of countless people and monsters was spilled in it, and it became a tool for the nobles to play with. Sin and blood were the symbols of this Colosseum. In the process of defeating the Demon King, the heroes and their party destroyed the sins of this Colosseum, and the Wise King transformed the Colosseum. Now it has become a theater to sing praises of human civilization.
It is called the "Singer's Theater".
The business of this theater is quite prosperous, but it was completely closed today. Inside the theater, a meeting is being held.
The host of the meeting is the former priest of the Brave Squad, Saint Xia Di.
Participants:
The former magician of the Brave Squad, the current Sage "Adriana", commonly known as Ana.
The former alchemist of the Brave Squad, now the source of miracles "Adeline".
The former curser of the Brave Squad, now the song of the end "Hidden·Nifede".
These are the main participants. In addition, there are many of their followers, the newly formed Demon King Brave Crusade Corps, also known as the many middle-level generals of the Holy Corps.
Saint Xia Di raised her alchemical arms high, and she did not hesitate to show everyone present the violence she had suffered: "The new hero fell, and the old hero and the Demon King who should have been destroyed were in collusion. We have reason to believe that the resurrection of the Demon King is not unrelated to the old hero A. Godora! He has already fallen!"
The middle-level generals present all had solemn expressions. In this era, more than ten years after the Demon King was conquered, those who can sit here and participate in this meeting are all people who have fought against the Demon King's army head-on, know the Demon King, and know the power of the old hero A. Godora.
They knew very well what kind of power those two people had, and what kind of consequences would come from their union.
But the members of the original brave team did not seem nervous.
Sage Adriana had beautiful long gray hair and wore a pair of round-frame glasses that made people feel gentle and refined: "Shadi, we are not here to attend the meeting today to see you suffer. I still have to suppress the horns of the Demon King. I hope you can quickly tell the key points. If the Demon King knows about such a meeting, it will be very bad if he takes advantage of it. Those are the two horns that control creation and destruction."
"Adriana, is there any point in saying this? At this point, what can you do by provoking me? You should be looking forward to the Demon King coming over, right?"
This woman who stood at the pinnacle of magic and was known as the "strongest" in the field of magic, after more than a decade, had probably been waiting for the Demon King to come. The Demon King... I heard that this title originally meant "King of Magic". This argument was the result of the dwarves' research on some relics in recent years, saying that it was the dust left in history. However, perhaps only the Demon King himself knows whether this statement is true or not. After all, the longest-lived elves also have unknown histories.
The only true ancients in this world are the Demon King and God.
There is no doubt that Adriana has set up a net to suppress the Demon King's horns. Compared with the "guards" in other places, this sage should be looking forward to the arrival of the Demon King. She probably thinks that her current magic level has surpassed the Demon King.
Xia Di couldn't help but think of the scene of breaking the seal in the church with the blind flower, which is not a rare material. She didn't think Adriana had reached this level, although they hadn't met for a few years.
"In this coalition operation, in the name of the Holy Maiden of the White Church, with the order of the Wise King of the Human Central Empire, and the leader of the Magicians' Union, Sage Adriana, I will provide 10,000 intermediate and above magicians as auxiliary legions to join the Holy Legion. Together we will complete the mission of defeating the old heroes and the resurrected Demon King!"
"Ten thousand people!"
Adriana couldn't help but retort: "Do you think intermediate and above magicians are cabbages! The Magicians' Union is not the legion or your church! We are a group of research associations that love magic! A group that comes together to protect the interests of magicians! Even as the president of the union! I don't have such power!"
"This is the business of your Magicians' Union!" Xia Di's attitude was tougher than expected, "No matter what means you use, the Magicians' Union, as the world's largest union, must contribute to this world, otherwise, the White Church and the Human Central Empire will join the two major races to sanction the Magicians' Union!"
"You!"
Adriana and Xia Di's eyes met, and she suddenly seemed deflated: "Okay, I will get this done."
She had understood the nature of this "meeting."
This was not a meeting to discuss how to defeat the Demon King and the Hero, but a declaration - a declaration of the power of the White Church and the Human Central Empire... Defeating the Demon King and the Hero was probably not the real purpose of Xia Di and the wise king, it was just an excuse. In the years after the war, they felt that the accumulation was enough.
To redefine the order after the war against the Demon King! The Human Central Empire and the White Church thought they had digested the "legacy" of the Demon King!
So, this is an order, a rule, but not a negotiation.
Just as the sage thought.
"The source of miracles Adeline!" Xia Di looked at another woman. This person held a huge staff that could be used for fighting and alchemy, but it looked like a staff of magic, but it was actually a completely different alchemy staff. She looked petite, but she had abundant knowledge. She was an alchemist who could create "miracles".
"Ah! Yes!"
The source of miracles was obviously a little overwhelmed when Xia Di suddenly called her name. She had already felt the atmosphere of this meeting was wrong, but she was not mentally prepared.
"I also issued a notice to the Alchemist Association on behalf of the White Church and the Central Empire of Humanity. You must unconditionally supply the coalition forces with all the alchemy tools needed to defeat the demon king!"
"That! Miss Xia Di! Isn't unconditional a bit..."
"We will send someone to review it! Avoid corruption. You are contributing to the cause of mankind! Do you still have any questions?"
Adeline opened her mouth, and she subconsciously looked at the sage Adriana, who shook her head slightly.
"Yes, the Alchemy Association obeys the orders of the White Church and the Human Central Empire."
Xia Di nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the last woman present, the Song of the End "Yin Nifede".
This woman had strange purple long hair. She looked noble and mysterious. She was also the most difficult person. Xia Di first forced the other two to express their opinions in order to put pressure on this woman: "Yin Nifede, the White Church and the Human Central Empire also have instructions and requirements for you..."
"Shut up, Xia Di, I don't want to listen."
The woman's cold voice echoed in the center of the theater: "The power of divine arts restrains curses. Now that you have made another step in divine arts, it is natural that you have no fear of me, but - you should know that the curse masters and the church have never been of the same mind, and we can't obey the orders of the church. When we fought against the Demon King in the past, the three major races made a joint agreement, and we would cooperate with each other. Now, the church dares to order us? What does this mean? The Human Central Empire, the White Church, really thinks it is invincible in the world? Do you want to be the next Demon King?"
When the middle-level commanders heard these words, they wanted to plug their ears. It was natural for the curse masters to be at odds with the church. Before the Demon King was defeated, people once believed that curses belonged to the power of the demons, and humans who used curses were all living beings and running dogs who defected to the Demon King.
In fact, most people who use curses are living beings who live and grow up in the "Demon King's Rule Area". They used to be enemies with the human coalition.
It was something that happened later that this group "jumped back" and formed a real coalition army. Before that, the church and the cursers were the two groups that didn't get along with each other the most.
The other party's rebuttal didn't surprise Xia Di. She narrowed her eyes slightly: "We are also fighting against the Demon King."
"The Demon King just regained his left hand. Even if he is powerful, how powerful can he be? Or are you talking about the old hero? My curse is still on him - how powerful can he be? Is your purpose in launching this action really to fight against the Demon King and the old hero? Isn't it to take the opportunity to clean up all of us?"
Yin Nifede.
Corresponding to the church's high-level officials with the name "White". Those who have the name "Yin" are the powerful ones among the cursers. In recent years, some people say that this name was given to these cursers by the former Demon King... The cursers don't argue.
"You mean, you don't want to cooperate?" Xia Di had no intention of debating or explaining to Yin Nifede. "Over the years, the church has frequently received notices of sins committed by curse masters. There is actual evidence. Do you need me to give these things to you to see?"
Yin Nifede's eyes became sharp: "What do you want to say?"
"I mean, if you think that our actions are to eliminate you. Then you can choose not to cooperate. I won't force you."
Yin Nifede couldn't help but remain silent. He was not afraid of Xia Di's defense, but was afraid that she didn't care.
The strength of the church and the Central Empire of Humanity has become so strong that they really don't mind being enemies with the entire group of curse masters? You know, this is the most difficult force...
Not participating in the action means that the church and the wise king are really going to take action against the curse masters.
"...We will send people to follow the coalition forces."
"That couldn't be better."
