Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2077 Hate the reality
Faced with Cliff's doubts, Xia Duo actually couldn't produce any strong evidence. The connection between the Kingdom of Elam and the demons was just a reasonable guess he made based on the results of interrogating the demons on the projected plane.

If there is any evidence, then he can destroy Elan now, even if he does not do it himself, he can also submit it to the Northern Alliance. With the elves' sensitivity to demons second only to drow, it is almost inevitable that Elan will be destroyed. of.

"Your Excellency Cliff, I'm just skeptical about the relationship between the Kingdom of Elam, the Demons, and the Illuminati. If I want to be sure, I may have to count on you!"

"Lord Xiaduo, I didn't say that you may have misunderstood the prophecy. If everything can be resolved through prophecy, is the reality still the same as it is now?"

Cliff's words made Xia Duo dumbfounded. Of course he knew that prophecy had limitations, but didn't he come to Cliff because he valued the other party's prophecy and his relationship with the Lord of Radiance!
"Your Excellency Cliff, if you can, give it a try!"

Xia Duo didn't ask Cliff to come up with any results. After all, the other party's prophecy requires the consumption of divine grace. Last time, the Seven Towers asked him to predict abnormal weather, but he refused (predicted once, and then rejected it after verification). .

In this regard, Cliff could only reluctantly nodded, "I will try my best! Vader and the others are here, so don't tell them about this for now."

"Ah."

Xia Duo guessed that perhaps Cliff was worried that the name of the Illuminati might affect this small interest group that was not stable for the time being, so he nodded and agreed.

Then, Cliff opened the door, and Vader and Magna entered the reception room together.

As soon as Magna came in, he noticed Xia Duo, and then his eyes lit up, "Lord Xia Duo, do you have any news about the attackers in Offa Square?"

"I was just talking to Cliff about it!"

Xia Duo glanced at Magna, glanced at Vader again from the corner of his eye, and then continued: "Although I'm not 100% sure, I'm sure those attackers are demons!"

"Devil?!" Magna's eyes widened, and his voice raised an octave unconsciously, "Lord Xiaduo, you said that the one who came here to attack just now was a demon?"

"Yes!"

Having received Xia Duo's affirmation again, Magna's anger welled up in his heart, "What are those devil cubs thinking? What are they trying to do?!"

Magna was born at the bottom, and got the opportunity to learn magic by chance. As a rare grand arcanist in Netheril who advanced from a legendary mage, he has a very rare identity for a commoner.

For the attack on civilians, Magna can be said to be extremely resentful. If he had been there just now, he would have rushed to fight those despicable attackers without hesitation.

"Magna, calm down and calm down, there will be more opportunities to deal with demons in the future!"

Cliff helped cast a magic spell to calm the soul, and Magna calmed down, but the resentment in his eyes was still hard to get rid of.

Although Vader didn't show any resentment, he also expressed concern about it, and then he got to the point, and mentioned the princess's involvement in the ceremony of ascension to the gods in Yerevan, for which he expressed deep concern:
"I personally respect Her Royal Highness very much, and I don't think it was Her Royal Highness who caused Master Yerevan's failure, but I think the behavior just now is very inappropriate!"

Even if this was said before the princess ascended to the gods, it would be considered very serious, not to mention that the princess is already a high-ranking true god.

But even in a small private space, Cliff still reminded Vader sternly: "His Royal Highness is a true God, please pay attention to your words!"

"What I said was not wrong!"

Vader ignored Cliff's reminder, and instead turned his gaze to Xia Duo, with a trace of fanaticism in his eyes, "There is no true god who is always right in this world. The so-called true god, in my opinion, is nothing more than a more powerful arcane technique. division!"

Xia Duo couldn't answer these words. Although he also believed in the potential of magic and would be able to reach the realm of God one day, is it really okay to say this in front of a priest?
At this moment, Xia Duo felt that Vader was no longer just a "technical theory", he even couldn't recognize himself, and was a little too arrogant!

……

Seeing that Xia Duo didn't answer, Vader didn't care, he didn't even notice the slightly dodging eyes of the other two, and he still expressed his point of view on his own:
"It's definitely not a good thing for Her Royal Highness to intervene in the Ascension Ceremony. We need to remind the Seven Towers, and even the princess, to let mortals decide for themselves! If you don't agree, then the Severton Covenant will be disrespected!"

"Your Excellency Vader's words are serious!" Although Cliff was a little annoyed, he still reminded him patiently, "If you don't respect the Sevington Covenant, it's best not to mention it again in the future!"

"I understand, thank you Sir Cliff."

This time, Vader accepted Cliff's kind reminder, as if the previous anger has been vented and has nothing to do with him, but at the same time, he still insists on his point of view that "mortal matters are for mortals to decide for themselves":

"The failure of Yerevan this time may have nothing to do with Her Royal Highness, but what about next time? I believe Her Royal Highness can abide by neutrality, but I don't believe that other people can do the same!"

"Then what do you want to do? Let the ascension person promise to the Lord before the ceremony that he will never interfere with mortal affairs after ascension?"

Cliff's words sounded a bit angry, but Vader took it seriously, "It may not be impossible, you must know that the ascension person is just a mortal before he succeeds in ascension, and a mortal can use mortal means to restrain him, and I also believe that, Even after they successfully ascended to the gods, they don't dare to ignore the testimony of the Lord of Radiance!"

Vader talked more and more vigorously, and even began to refine the specific terms of the oath. Seeing this situation, Cliff couldn't help showing a wry smile:
"Your Excellency Vader, I have to say that your idea is really difficult to realize. Take a step back and say, even if my Lord can witness such a farce oath, why do you think other people are willing to guarantee it?"

When he said this, Cliff drew a circle in this not-so-small reception room with his finger, and reminded: "Now even those of us who oppose the Ascension Order don't fully agree with your point of view. How could others agree!"

This is a very real problem. If Vader can win over most of the great arcanists, it may be possible to achieve such a conservative oath-ascension order centered on the testimony of the Lord of Radiance, but the reality is that as long as there is an opportunity, no one is willing. Allow yourself to be limited.

Cliff's words made Vader a little silent. In terms of understanding of the human heart and human nature, as a grand arcanist who is proficient in spiritual magic, he considers himself no worse than a priest. In the process of learning magic, he has seen too many human hearts.

After a long silence, Vader let out a long sigh, "The only good news now is that Master Yerevan really failed! How ironic this is!"
