I have a role in the heavens

At this time, Lucien's endless curiosity arose in his heart, and he wanted to know more about the truth of this period of history. He had completely forgotten the fear of his identity being exposed, and looked at Ivan Vincent with bright eyes, waiting for his next words.

"No wonder those cardinals in the north got the support of almost all the northern nobles and successfully split the behemoth Church of Truth. It turns out that the whole thing was planned by the nobles. This is the truth that is not recorded in the history books!"

Lucien's face became a little more enlightened, his mental power continued to surge, and his wisdom began to work. He thought about the meaning of this, the nobility, the North and South Church, and the Continental Magic Council. All of this was so interesting, and all the forces were involved. A state of equilibrium has been reached, which is why we have the current situation.

Ivan Vincent lowered his head and tasted the wine again. Looking at the deserted town of Bonn, he felt a sour taste in his mouth. The wine in this kind of tavern is brewed by the residents of the small town themselves, and the quality is not as good as that of the noble family. Wine is comparable, but it has the breath of life. Now this breath of life has turned into sourness on the tip of the tongue, which makes Ivan Vincent feel very unhappy.

Ivan Vincent swallowed the sour drink in his mouth, looked up at Lucien, and nodded, feeling satisfied with Lucien's wisdom and that he was not a fool.

"Very keen, Lucien, you are right! When some cardinals plotted to overthrow the pope for reasons unknown to everyone, the nobles of their country joined the conspiracy without any hesitation. But these nobles deliberately Part of the news was leaked in advance, so that the Pope was prepared and was not overthrown, so it developed into a situation of north-south division. After all, for the nobles in the north. If these cardinals overthrew the Pope and took control of the church, their situation would be the same as before. There will be no fundamental changes.”

"And when the north and the south are divided and there is not much difference in strength between the two sides, the power of the nobles has become the most important weight in the balance, and will no longer be taken away by life and death."

Lucien followed Ivan Vincent's words and spoke. He had learned a lot about history and naturally knew that politics is all about balance. Every time a huge change occurs in history, the old balance is broken and a new balance is established. .

Ivan Vincent smiled and shook his head. Lucien's words were wrong this time. If the Church of Truth was really split into the north and south rows so easily, it would not make the nobles, magicians, dark councils, elves, etc. so afraid. Yes, it was a behemoth, even more powerful than it is now.

"You guessed wrong this time. At that time, the strength of the Northern Church was really different from that of the Southern Church. They were not at the same level at all. But the elven countries, dwarf countries, and countries that believe in other gods in the northwest of the Dark Mountains, in the Dark Mountains The magical creatures and remaining magicians all participated. They finally saw the church split, how could they watch the northern church be defeated. After these forces joined the game, a situation was formed where the south was aggressively attacking and the north was struggling to support it. "

Lucien thought thoughtfully and understood why other forces would participate in this church split. The Church of Truth back then was so powerful that it overwhelmed all forces. If this continues, sooner or later they will All will be wiped out by the God of Truth. The mainland will really turn into the kingdom of the God of Truth. There will be no space for other aliens to live. All creatures will surrender at the feet of the God of Truth and become His lambs. Let the church Slaughter.

"Lucien, you have been living in the Principality of Violet and under the rule of the Southern Church. You are depressed and fearful. You must have wanted to find the location of the Magician's Council more than once, right?"

"You are here now to find clues to the Magic Council headquarters, right?"

Lucien's whole body was shaken, with a bit of excitement in his expression. His body tilted slightly in the direction of Ivan Vincent. His eyes widened and he stared at Ivan Vincent with all his concentration, revealing his endless desire. The location of the headquarters of the Magic Council is the secret that all southern magicians want to know most. It is the paradise of truth that they think about day and night. They yearn for it extremely, and everything they do is to reach that free country, where they no longer need to worry. By studying magic, you can live under the sunshine and proudly declare your identity as a magician.

"Viscount Ivan Vincent, do you know where the headquarters of the Magic Council is? Can you tell me?"

Ivan Vincent looked at the excited Lucien and knew why he behaved like this. Lucien was not himself. He only had the strength of a first-level magician. In this place ruled by the Southern Church, he was always on tenterhooks and extremely depressed. , worried that someone would discover his identity as a magician, and the result waiting for him would be to be tied to the stake, undergo trial by the church, and be burned alive.

"Where do you think it will be?"

Ivan Vincent lowered his head and took a sip of wine, with a faint smile on his lips. His eyes were deep, as if he was looking across the ocean. There was a city in the sky, majestic and majestic, where a group of unrestrained people lived and studied the world. The essential group of people are all spellcasters. They are evil existences in the words of the Church of Truth. They are heretics and need to be purified.

Lucien thought about this issue for a long time. He traveled around the country in order to find information about the headquarters of the Magic Council. He also made various guesses and expressed his truest thoughts to Ivan Vincent.

"I think the headquarters of the Magic Council is deep in the Dark Mountains or on the other side of the mountains, because the church's westward expansion ended early."

Ivan Vincent had an intriguing smile on his face, looked at Lucien strangely, and said with a bit of ridicule.

"Lucien, you are so courageous. If you go to the Dark Mountains, you will only find those gloomy and crazy ancient magicians. Although they are powerful, many of them are high-level, and there are even archmages and legendary magicians, but If you don't agree with them even a little bit, you will become their experiment, and then you will either gain uncontrollable powerful power, or your whole body will collapse and die. And the creatures in the Dark Mountains are not the beasts or low-level beasts in the Melzer Black Forest. Magical creatures can match it. With your strength, you will not survive for more than ten days if you rush deep into it."

There are remnants of ancient magicians in the Dark Mountains. They all learned magic from the Magic Empire period, which was brutal and bloody. Their knowledge of the world was almost zero, and their understanding of magic was different from that of the Continental Magic Council.

Lucien's guess was denied. He lowered his head and started thinking again. Countless thoughts poured into the depths of his mind. They were so complicated that he couldn't think clearly for a while. He could only ask tentatively.

"Is the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council in a certain country? Is it in a country that believes in other gods?"

"You guessed wrong. The headquarters of the Continental Magic Council is in the country that believes in the Southern Truth Cult. You have also heard of its name, but the church has deleted all content about the Magic Council from the books!"

"Where?"

Lucien kept thinking about the country he had heard about, turning his head with all his strength, and holding the wine glass tightly with his palms. At this time, he finally heard the news about the Magic Council, which was extremely important to him.

"Kingdom of Holm!"

"The specific location of the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council is the floating city of Arlinge near the capital of the Hall Kingdom, Lentat."

"Aline means sky in the ancient language of Sylvanus."

Lucien first interpreted the words habitually, then looked at Ivan Vincent in surprise, and asked in disbelief.

"Kingdom of Holm? Lentat? The country where Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha's mother was born?"

Lucien was shocked and looked at Ivan Vincent in disbelief. The Kingdom of Holm and the Magic Council were actually there. This was simply beyond his imagination. Too close, so close. The Kingdom of Holm and the Principality of Violet are just across the sea from each other, and this country actually still believes in the God of Truth!

"Hasn't Grand Duke Violet's love become a story spread throughout the continent? I have heard several different versions, but in these versions there is an evil force that prevents them from getting together. But no one can tell clearly. What kind of evil force is blocking them?"

"Isn't it interesting?"

Ivan Vincent raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine glass in one go. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Lucien with a bit of amusement.

"So it is the Church of Truth that prevents Grand Duke Violet and Grand Duchess from getting together?"

Lucien looked at Ivan Vincent in surprise. If this was really the case, it would be amazing. How did Grand Duke Violet break through the church's obstruction and marry the Grand Duchess.

"Yes or no, the church is only one side, the Continental Magic Council and the northern nobles of the Kingdom of Holm are also involved in the obstruction!"

"Because they were worried that this would break the political balance at the time! As for why they agreed in the end, I don't know this. Even the Grand Duke may not know everything. It must be the result of the balance of power among all parties! "

Lucien nodded to express his understanding. Politics was complicated, and he still had some doubts. He looked at Ivan Vincent and asked what he didn't understand.

"Why is the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council in the Kingdom of Holm, and also near the capital Lentat? Could it be that the Continental Magic Council also has the participation and support of nobles behind it?"

Ivan Vincent nodded appreciatively, confirmed Lucien's guess, and continued to speak.

"After experiencing the split between the northern and southern churches, the southern church has formed a new balance, and the status of the nobles has been greatly improved. However, the northern church is different. The church is still the most powerful force, and no other forces exist. The nobles naturally Unwilling to surrender to the foot of the church, most chose to negotiate with the church, while a small number embarked on the path of secretly supporting the magic forces, using their strength to fight against the church forces in their own kingdoms, while balancing themselves in the middle to fight for words. right."

"This small group is the nobles of the four kingdoms across the Storm Strait, but they made a serious mistake!"

"They supported the greatest magician in the history of this continent, Derek Douglas!"

"Grand Arcanist, Derek Douglas, President of the Continental Magic Council?!"

Lucien looked shocked. He had also heard of this name and knew that the other party was a great magician. However, he did not expect that Ivan Vincent would praise Douglas so much and define him as the greatest magician in the history of the continent. Magician, this rating is too high.

Ivan Vincent seemed to notice Lucien's doubts and continued calmly.

"Douglas, the archmage, actually made changes to the ancient magic system at that time, from simply imitating magical creatures to studying the laws of nature. Under the leadership of Douglas, the strength of the Magic Council is exponential. With the growth, powerful magicians and legendary magicians continue to appear. After integrating several major hidden magic organizations more than a hundred years ago, the Continental Magic Council has expanded into the second largest force in the entire world."

"This is a change that Holm and other nobles from the four kingdoms did not expect at all when they began to support Douglas."

"I really don't know whether I should praise them for their unique vision and see the extraordinaryness of Douglas at a glance, or I should sigh for them because they have bet on a peerless treasure that is beyond their control!"

Lucien was also shocked when he heard this. He imagined the situation and reaction of those nobles and couldn't help laughing. It was indeed true. The Continental Magic Council had grown into a behemoth, and had even surpassed the strength of the Northern Church. The tight suppression definitely met the expectations of the nobles at the beginning, but the Magic Council was too powerful, so powerful that the nobles began to feel uneasy, but there was nothing they could do about it. Fortunately, the Magic Council did not infringe on the interests of the nobles. So a balance is maintained.

"Douglas is one of the top ten superpowers in the world, the first great arcanist in the mainland, the speaker of the mainland Magic Council, and the founder of the journal "Arcane"."

"Even with the current situation, several forces are balanced and the nobles benefit from it!"

"In the Kingdom of Holm, the identity of magicians is already semi-public. Although a large part of the church's strength is concentrated there, it has also been suppressed miserably. If it were not for the help of the nobles, it would have been uprooted by the Magic Council long ago. ”

"Isn't it interesting? In the beginning, the nobles supported the Magic Council and fought against the church, but now they have turned around. It really proves the saying that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!"

Lucien nodded, greatly shocked. After Ivan Vincent's guidance, he had a comprehensive and clear understanding of the political situation and major forces in the mainland. The Viscount Ivan Vincent in front of him was definitely a Wise man, these historical truths are not something ordinary nobles can see through.

"Thank you, Viscount Ivan Vincent, for telling me this. It has given me a clearer understanding of the world!"

"I just don't know, what is the purpose of telling me this?"

Ivan Vincent shook his head, stood up, walked out of the tavern, stood on the empty road, and turned to Lucien who was following him.

"This is the town of Bonn. A few days ago, it was a prosperous place full of life. But now it is deserted. All the residents of the town are dead, among the church, the Magic Council, the nobles, and the devil. In the fight!"

Lucien had been trapped in a magic lock before and saw the death of the town's residents with his own eyes. He also felt a bit heavy in his heart and was shocked by the changes in the town.

"Lucien, you probably don't know!"

Lucien looked at Ivan Vincent suspiciously, waiting for Ivan Vincent's next words.

"I, Ivan Vincent, am the lord of this small town in Bonn. This is my territory. It is a town that I have spent a lot of effort to run!"

"It was so destroyed that not a single resident survived!"

"Silver Horn, Church of Truth, they destroyed my territory!"

"I've had enough of these disgusting religions, it's time for a change in the world!"

"Lucien, you are very different. You have great potential and can become a strong man who affects the situation on the mainland. I want you to leave the Principality of Violet and go to Holm. That is the most suitable place for you. I look forward to it." One day you can make a difference in this world!"

Lucien really didn't expect that Ivan Vincent would appreciate him so much, which made him confused. He really didn't know why Ivan Vincent valued him so much. They had only met a few times in total. .

Ivan Vincent ignored the confused Lucien, interrupted Lucien's attempt to speak with a wave of his hand, turned around and left in the direction of Alto, his figure gradually disappearing into the empty space. In the small town, only Lucien remained with a complicated expression.

"Ivan Vincent is such an unpredictable person, mysterious and powerful!"

Lucien stood on the street, looking at the lifeless town, sighed, and left here. He already knew where the headquarters of the Magic Council was. He also wanted to find a way to go to the Kingdom of Holm and start a new life. , the mystery of magic has endless attraction and makes people unable to extricate themselves.

In Alto City, the news that Ivan Vincent was a powerful epic knight spread like a hurricane and spread throughout the principality. Countless people were amazed by it and marveled at the amazingness of this young knight. His reputation was instantly Dasheng has become the envy and admiration of countless people.

But Ivan Vincent, who returned to Alto City, was very low-key, reclusive and rarely appeared in public, disappointing countless people who wanted to visit him.

Ivan Vincent nearly killed Cardinal Amorton with a sword, as if it had never happened. The Church of Truth has a very friendly attitude towards Ivan Vincent, a young epic knight. The pinnacle of power is enough to influence the situation on the mainland, so the church will naturally try its best to win over him, and even come forward to ask Archduke Violet to make him a count.

Naturally, Grand Duke Violet would not object. A legendary epic knight deserves the title of earl. He readily agreed and conferred the title of earl on Ivan Vincent. He even re-divided a territory for him, including the town of Bibon. More prosperous and larger in area.

Ivan Vincent was very calm and calm about this, and did not show his dissatisfaction with the Church of Truth. He just kept a certain distance and kept a respectful distance.

Since the strength of the epic knight was exposed, Grand Duke Violet has discussed with Count Vincent many times. The implicit meaning behind his words is that he wants to settle the matter between Natasha and Ivan Vincent as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. .

Naturally, Ivan Vincent and Natasha would not agree. Nowadays, Natasha still likes women. Ivan Vincent only regards Natasha as a buddy and has no other ideas.
