From Wild Mage to Wizard King

However, with the work of nearly a hundred mechanics, the magic array became more and more dangerous, and the mortality rate was also rising.

When Roland asked all the mechanics to stop working and was responsible for building the magic array, the mortality rate of the mechanics had soared to 90%. Ten mechanics entered, nine could not get out, and one came out lying down.

After all, it was the magic array that Roland prepared to use to fight against Kan Ozu. Even if it was not activated, it was very dangerous.

Even Roland was very careful when building it.

Therefore, in the third month after the construction of the magic array began, Roland was the only one left to build the magic array.

Roland felt a sense of crisis coming from all directions, and he calmly shuttled through the passages specially left for the magic array. At the same time, his magic power also spread to the surroundings. Under the effect of magic, the large combined magic models in the surrounding magic arrays were rapidly expanding, becoming more and more complex and more dangerous.

Roland strolled calmly and continued to build this extremely dangerous magic array silently.

Although Roland seemed to be very relaxed, each step he took was carefully taken after countless calculations.

The current magic formation was undoubtedly extremely dangerous for Roland, a five-ring spellcaster. As long as he took a wrong step, Roland might be involved and died suddenly.

However, Roland was not without a backup plan. The space beacon in his body and the Death Shield of the Crown of Domination were the basis for him to continue to build the magic formation.

In fact, the Death Shield had saved Roland several times. After all, he had to continue to build the magic formation. He couldn't keep his mind tense all the time, and he would make mistakes occasionally.

At this time, he could only rely on the passive power of the Crown of Domination to resist.

Of course, with Roland's ability, he was not without a way to build a safer magic formation, but the current War Committee could not afford more consumption.

The War Committee had stopped investing in the development of people's livelihood. The entire War Committee invested resources in the military, the reconstruction of the northern wall, the laying of the magic formation, and other miscellaneous military projects.

In order to support these developments and major projects, the War Committee had to use up all its capital.

Almost all the members of the War Committee used their last resources to support construction, and the local nobles and knights who defected to the border area faction could not escape the order to be exploited.

Under the visits of the members, their property was also completely taken away.

At the same time, food coupons began to be used within the committee, and the gold and silver of the people were also plundered by the committee with food coupons.

Several gold and silver mines under the committee were also filled with undead. Under the control of the necromancer, the undead worked day and night, frantically digging gold mines at all costs, and even some members went directly to dig.

Relying on the strong physique of the knights, they mined much faster than the undead.

The scale of local meal making skills also expanded rapidly, more and more food was exported frantically, and the dead area of ​​the War Committee was also expanding.

On the other side of the Silver Gate, the committee became more and more radical in excavating the ruins, and some spellcasters cracked the ruins day and night.

The full support of the War Committee can barely meet the current project consumption.

If Roland uses a safer but more consuming magic array, unless the War Committee is completely drained, it will definitely not be able to support it.

After completing the construction of a large magic model, Roland also walked out of the magic array. After there was no sense of crisis coming from all directions, Roland also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Roland walked out of the magic array, a servant came to Roland and said.

"Chairman, a member of the Radiant Knights wants to meet you, saying that their leader has something for him to give to you personally."

"Oh?"

Roland raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

"How long ago was it? Where is the person now?"

"It happened five days ago. I am currently waiting in Apocalypse City."

The servant replied in a low voice.

"Well, I know, send a message, I will find time to go there later."

Roland took the Wisdom Liquid handed over by the servant beside him, said a word, and drank the Wisdom Liquid in one gulp.

The cold feeling rushed into Roland's heart, making him relax a little.

On the side, the servant who received Roland's order also quietly retreated. He ran to the tent nearby and transmitted Roland's words to Apocalypse City through the communication device installed in the tent.

After putting the empty bottle back, Roland also walked to the camp nearby.

In the camp, some low-level spellcasters and magicians were waiting for Roland.

Although Roland could only come in person to build the spell formation now, some work that could be done outside in advance could still be done by them, such as: preparing the corresponding materials in advance and processing them.

After communicating with the spellcasters and magicians for a while and arranging the materials needed next, Roland returned to his tent, ate some pancakes, drank some wisdom liquid, and rested for a while.

After resting for half an hour, Roland cast a cleansing spell on himself, then locked the space anchor point of Apocalypse City and teleported directly there.

Apocalypse City.

As the first city controlled by Roland, in the Old Apocalypse period, it relied on its special status and the local forces that were better than nothing inside to become the fastest-growing city under Roland's rule, without a doubt.

During the rebel period, the Old Apocalypse City under Roland's rule was already a very famous big city.

After the establishment of the committee and its establishment as the capital of the War Committee, the development of Apocalypse City became even more rapid.

As the core area controlled by Roland, it did not experience the turmoil brought about by the civil war and the Great Purge. On the contrary, it also received resources from the War Committee.

Therefore, in just a few years, Apocalypse became the most prosperous city of the War Committee.

Ido walked slowly on the clean and tidy streets of Apocalypse, looking at this hugely changed city with interest.

Compared with the Old Apocalypse City he visited last time, the Apocalypse City in front of him has undergone earth-shaking changes. The area alone has expanded by at least three times.

Moreover, compared with the civilians who were still unable to get enough food back then, in the current Apocalypse City, Ido saw enthusiastic and energetic civilians.

In addition, the military strength of Apocalypse City has also undergone tremendous changes.

In the past, most of the patrols and those responsible for the city defense were ordinary soldiers, and their weapons and equipment were not very good. However, now almost all soldiers are well-equipped, and each person exudes an extraordinary aura.

Moreover, Ido also sensed several extraordinary auras in various places in Apocalypse City that made him feel dangerous.

Originally, according to the regulations of the War Committee, non-members of the War Committee were not allowed to enter the committee.

However, during the period of the rebels, the old leader took the initiative to make friends with Roland and lent a hand in difficult times.

Therefore, the Radiant Knights are one of the few forces that can enter the committee as long as they swear an oath.

Therefore, although Ido was a little surprised about the development of Apocalypse, he still maintained the dignity of the Radiant Knights, did not ask around, and suppressed his curiosity.

Walking along the street, Ido came to a church area.

This is a Pantheon Church dedicated to Lady Dawn, which was established by former members of the Radiant Knights who joined the War Committee.

Although the establishment of churches and chapels in the War Committee needs to be regulated by the Administration Department, the former members of the Radiant Knights do not care about it.

After all, they just want a church for them to pray. As for believers, it is best to have one, but it does not matter if there is none. Moreover, they have never thought of making money by relying on churches and beliefs.

Therefore, the regulation of the Administration Department is a good thing for them.

The Administration Department prohibits churches from doing business and speculating for profit, but it will also provide the expenses for the daily operation of churches and the Holy See, which is a good thing for the former members of the Radiant Knights who are not good at business.

In this way, they don't have to worry about anything else except taking turns to let one member sit in the church every day to receive believers.

Ido looked at the church in front of him and strode in.

Although the Pantheon, as an alien belief, has also spread in Donnar, most of the Pantheon gods that can spread to Donnar are similar to the knights' gods of war. Donnar has never heard of gentle gods like Lady Dawn.

However, this church is located in Apocalypse City after all, and Apocalypse City has such a large population, so some citizens have been baptized and become shallow believers of Lady Dawn.

After Ido entered the church, he saw that there were about a hundred believers praying in the church, and in the church, former members of the Radiant Knights who took off their armor and put on robes were also spreading their faith.

Seeing this, Ido also quietly joined the prayer.

After completing daily prayers, the believers in the church who just wanted to complete daily prayers left in an orderly manner, and the remaining believers followed several priests and began to learn doctrines.

When the priest who took off his armor and put on robes saw Ido, he handed the believers who were approaching to the newly promoted priest on the side, and walked in front of Ido.

The two saluted each other.

"Please come in."

The priest took the initiative to invite.

Ido nodded, and then the two walked into the interior of the church together, in a room in the church.

Ido sat on the sofa, the bright sunshine shone in from the window beside him, and the gentle breeze also swept over his whole body.

He turned around and looked through the window, he saw a garden next to the church.

"Not bad, right?"

The priest poured two cups of hot tea, put them on the table, and said.

"It's really good, this shouldn't be designed by you, right?"

Ido turned around, nodded slightly, and said.

The priest sat opposite Ido, nodded, and said casually.

"Well, this church was mainly built by the committee. We just selected this design from the design drawings given by the management department. Although it is still a little empty now, it has everything it should have, and it's not bad."

"This is more than good."

Ido said with admiration.

Although in the Pantheon, the status of all gods is equal, but in the Silver Empire, Littorio, who is known as the God of All Gods, still occupies the mainstream.

Even though Lady Dawn is one of the main gods in the Pantheon, she still has to give way to Littorio in Ginza.

Besides, due to the teachings of Lady Dawn, the construction of churches by the Radiant Knights is determined by the local economic level, and most churches are relatively small.

Only a few capitals of human kingdoms that believe in Lady Dawn have relatively large churches.

This church is already considered to be a particularly good one among the churches Ido has seen.

Even if there are fewer priests and believers, and the whole church seems empty, if there are enough priests and believers to cultivate the whole church for ten or twenty years, this church may be considered the best church Ido has ever seen.

The priest smiled and said nothing.

In fact, the former Radiant Knights who joined the War Committee were very satisfied with this church.

Especially after knowing that the War Committee also allowed them to spread the faith of Lady Dawn, they were even more satisfied.

You know, in the past, the various knight kingdoms strictly guarded against the infiltration of the Pantheon and prohibited any Pantheon faith.

Although the War Committee now has various restrictions and currently only allows preaching in specified religious occasions, it is still a loophole, isn’t it?

Ido chatted with the priest, caring about each other's situation.

There is nothing much to say about Xinar. With the income from the alchemy potion, the Radiant Knights can be said to be thriving, and the people in the New East District have now fully converted to the faith of Lady Dawn.

The old leader is considering building a few more churches in the New East District to meet the needs of believers.

And Donnar is also okay. Although they have left the Radiant Knights, they have also registered a Dawn Church in the management department to spread the faith of Lady Dawn.

Listening to the priest's words, Ido pursed his lips and asked.

"Speaking of which, there seem to be some other churches in Apocalypse?"

"Yes, that's right."

The priest nodded and said.

"I have inquired in the management department. There are more than a thousand legal faith groups in the committee. As for churches, there are about ten at present."

"It seems that there is a Pantheon Church?"

Ido said nonchalantly.

The priest seemed to have not noticed anything and said in a relaxed tone.

"There is more than one."

"In fact, there is indeed a Pantheon Church, but they are not very popular because they require the God of the Pantheon to be the main worshiper."

"This is the rule written when their church was established. The management department said that if you join, you must obey the church's fixed rules."

"So, like us, there are many who did not join the Pantheon Church but opened their own churches. Including our Dawn Church, there are a total of three."

"And the remaining six are the local beliefs of Donnar. I don't know the details, but these six seem to be extended from two different systems."

Ido nodded and said.

"I see, but it's okay. After all, the situation in Donnar is complicated, and I think the Pantheon can understand it."

As he said that, Ido stood up and smiled.

The priest also stood up with him and smiled.

"After all, the Silver Empire can't control this side."

The priest personally sent Ido out of the church.

When passing by the church hall, Ido looked at the hall with only the symbol of Lady Dawn, and said nothing. He left the church quietly and calmly.

The priest knew Ido's gaze, and Ido also knew that the priest knew his gaze, but both sides tacitly did not make it clear.

After all, they were all believers of Lady Dawn.

After leaving the church, Ido also stopped at a crossroads, turned his head and looked at the Dawn Church in the distance, feeling a little emotional.

According to the regulations of the Pantheon in the Silver Empire, no matter which god is the main believer, there must be a place for the God of All Gods.

Therefore, unless it is a church dedicated to the God of All Gods, other churches generally worship two gods, including all the churches of Lady Dawn in Sinar.

However, this church of Apocalypse ignored this rule. Ido could not see any factor of the God of All Gods at all, and purely worshipped Lady Dawn.

If this kind of church and this kind of church were placed in Sinar, it would definitely be regarded as a heresy by the Pantheon and criticized with weapons.

Given the current situation of the Silver Empire and the situation of the War Committee, the Pantheon cannot reach so far, so the biggest possibility for the Pantheon is to label the Dawn Church in Donnar as a heresy, which will not have much impact.

However, as a devout believer of Lady Dawn, Ido does not dislike this kind of church. He does not like being controlled by the Pantheon, and he does not like to have to make room for the God of All Gods in the church dedicated to Lady Dawn.

Although the current Dawn Church is relatively small, it is at least free and does not need to be influenced by the Pantheon.

Unfortunately, he cannot give up the believers of Lady Dawn in Xinar, otherwise, Ido would want to stay.

However, the War Committee's approach to faith is quite unique. It is quite thoughtful to set up a non-faith-oriented management department to manage the faith of various places.

Unfortunately, in the Silver Empire, the Pantheon has become the only one and has monopolized the faith affairs of the Silver Empire. It is impossible to allow the emergence of such an institution, let alone the emergence and spread of other faiths.

In the Silver Empire, any heretical beliefs will be physically wiped out by the Inquisition.

Even if someone is protecting them, they can only spread the news privately.

Moreover, even if the Pantheon cannot deal with these protected heretic priests, the Pantheon can still deal with the heretic civilian believers without protection. It is no problem to kill them all.

He shook his head and turned to leave.

When he was about to return to his residence, a messenger of Apocalypse stopped him and told him that Roland was about to meet him.
