Chapter 254039: What about the future?
Felix asked with deep emotion and nervousness: "What about the future?"
Luo Xi asked, "What future are you asking about?"
Felix said: "Sigrama, the Eternal Church."
Luo Xi was silent for a moment, and then said: "They no longer exist."
Felix's body shook noticeably, and his spirit seemed to have weakened a lot.
After a long while, he murmured to himself, "Is that so? It seems that we still couldn't escape this catastrophe after all."
"I'm sorry," Luo Xi said.
Felix shook his head. "This is not your problem. There is no need to apologize for it. The responsibility is ours."
"We have never been able to strike a balance between magic and faith. After the Year of the Red Moon, the conflict between the church and free wizards has intensified. The strong control has restricted the development of magic, which has made many people dissatisfied."
Since the end of the Age of Gods, wizard civilization has developed for thousands of years and has basically been dominated by the Sigrama Dynasty. The Eternal Church, as the extraordinary authority of this dynasty, also controls the extraordinary order of this world.
The Eternal Church is relatively closed. They have created a complete system of supernatural beings, and only allow subsequent supernatural beings to practice and grow according to the system they created.
This decision must have been wise and great at the beginning, because in the previously chaotic supernatural world, their system provided a clear path for this chaotic world and created a reliable order for the supernatural world, like a bright lamp lit in the darkness.
However, as time went by and wizard civilization developed, the extraordinary path provided by the church naturally became insufficient. Everyone needed more resources and more knowledge to promote the improvement of their own strength.
However, many aspects were prohibited in the church. At that time, practitioners could only use the resources prescribed by the church and could only learn the knowledge prescribed by the church. Private exploration was considered heresy.
In order to strengthen and consolidate its own extraordinary order, the church suppressed heretics in many ways. However, the strong oppression did not make the explorers sink, but instead aroused their strong consciousness of resistance.
Ultimately, the church and the Sigrama dynasty also perished in this resistance.
Luo Xi raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you have predicted all this in advance?"
Felix smiled bitterly and said, "This is not a big deal. Except for those stubborn old antiques in the Privy Council who still think we are in our heyday, many people have already noticed that the environment is beginning to change and have a premonition that the old era is about to end."
At this point, Felix sighed and said, "Although I know that nothing in this world is permanent except time, it is still hard to accept when a faith that has lasted for a thousand years is truly destroyed."
Luo Xi asked doubtfully: "Now that you know this, can you?"
Felix said, "Change the future? Sorry, no."
He explained: "The me standing in front of you now is not the real me, but only the me in this fragment of time. There is no connection between me and the 'me' in the real world. The me here has also been separated from the original river of time, and there is no way to pass the information to me in the real world."
Luo Xi roughly understood it.
To put it simply, he was like a person who had filled a bucket of water in a flowing river, and now he was deep in this bucket, cut off from the water flowing in the river, and they were completely in two independent worlds.
After a pause, he continued: "And even if we knew all this, we couldn't do anything."
How could a machine that had been running for thousands of years be easily turned around? Under these thousands of years of rule, the Eternal Church that established the extraordinary order had already formed a complex network of interests from top to bottom. Any attempt to make changes would be strongly backlashed by this network of interests. This was not something that Felix, a bishop, could change.
Luo Xi raised his eyebrows. He was quite interested in Felix's magic.
He asked in confusion: "Then the purpose of your setting up this magic is..."
Felix said: "There is no special purpose. I just want to see the future with my own eyes, communicate with people in the future, and make good use of time."
Luo Xi said: "You really are."
Felix laughed: "Haha, isn't magic meant to keep advancing through various explorations?"
After a pause, he continued, "Tell me, how did you get here?"
Luo Xi said: "This is a long story."
Then, he recounted how he met Jerome and his group in the ruins, and how he followed Jerome and his group to explore the ruins, and how he accidentally discovered the magic circle set up here and finally activated the magic circle.
Felix had been listening attentively, and his expression changed only when Roshi mentioned that the entire Sigrama was reduced to ruins. It was obvious that he still found it difficult to accept that his cherished home had come to such an end.
“So that’s how it is.”
Felix continued, "Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed, because I didn't leave any treasures here, only some magic materials at most. But from what you described about the bombardment of truth spells and the baptism of thousands of years, I'm afraid those materials have been submerged in the long river of history."
This space is between reality and illusion, a fragment of time. They cannot take out anything they see here.
Luo Xi shrugged and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I have already gained the biggest reward of this trip."
For a wizard, being able to witness a civilization thousands of years ago and even talk to people of that era, Luo Xi felt that it was worth the trip. Even if he gained nothing in the end, it would not be unacceptable.
"You are quite open-minded and not impatient. Such a spirit is precious on the extraordinary path." Felix smiled.
Luo Xi said: "Thank you."
"Um"
Felix pondered for a while, then continued: "But since you are here to look for treasure, it would not be appropriate to let you make a wasted trip. Let me think about what good things I can share with you."
After thinking for a while, Felix seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, I do have something to give you."
