Devil Class Cannon Fodder

As the only daughter of Grand Duke Andrew, the lord of Stormwind City, Elizabeth is indeed going to marry the third prince Gerd of King Rand.

Considering that Galewind City is the big city of Oran Kingdom, such a marriage has actually risen to the level of political exchanges between the two countries.The Kingdom of Rand and the Kingdom of Oran did have several frictions in the past, and several times it escalated to the point of war, but in recent decades, both sides have tended to be peaceful and friendly.

The Temple of Light can also use this to spread the Holy Light to the Kingdom of Oran, so they also support this marriage.

All in all, this marriage has been unanimously blessed by all parties, at least on the surface.

Soon, the two became engaged, and the wedding was arranged a year later.Grand Duke Andrew intends to keep Elizabeth in Wind City for a longer period of time, and Prince Gerd feels that nothing will happen during this period, so he agrees very considerately.

Grand Duke Andre returned the favor, and he was even more generous in Elizabeth's dowry.

Of course, Prince Gerd also gave a considerable dowry, but he is still a prince, and in terms of financial resources, he is not comparable to Grand Duke Andre who has occupied Wind City for decades.

As for Elizabeth's dowry alone, the Rand Kingdom felt that Prince Gerd had made a lot of money.

For all parties, the dowry or bride price is only a superficial exchange.The deep meaning is not comparable to this.Just like with the engagement of the two, the trade between Rand Kingdom and Stormwind City alone has increased by [-]% compared to previous years.

For the Temple of Light, they borrowed the light from Stormwind City to build several churches in the Kingdom of Oran.This was an achievement that had never been done before, and in the church built in Stormwind City several years earlier, bishops and pastors were not only regarded as free doctors, but also had many believers in Stormwind City, and thus gained their own influence.Although it can't compete with the local forces in Stormwind City and the magician union in Stormwind City, but with the support of the Temple of Light behind it, it won't become cannon fodder in the battle of local snakes.

It is worth mentioning that since Gu Qing, Elliott, became the pope, the atmosphere in the Temple of Light has changed a lot compared to before.The reason for Gu Qing's innovation was the incident of the former Pope and the incident of Cardinal Alvin of the Diocese of Sherman, especially the latter.The Alvin incident caused riots among the believers, and the former pope incident shook the faith of the believers. This cannot be completely resolved by changing the pope.

So Gu Qing, the new pope, took this opportunity to clean up from top to bottom.Of course, by doing so, he was regarded by many members of the church as eliminating dissidents and minimizing the influence of the former Pope Augustine on the church.

But these people also have to admit that after the series of actions of the new pope, the Temple of Light has been rejuvenated, not to mention that the prestige among the believers and even on the continent of Ilia has also been greatly improved. Killing Pope Isidore from the Dark Temple caused the Dark Temple to lose its vitality, and it was in turmoil for a while.

In fact, let Gu Qing say that his innovation this time is only scratching the surface, and has not touched the real foundation of the Temple of Light. I didn't want to carry the future of the Temple of Light on my shoulders, so I just helped to prune the branches as a reward for Elliott's status.

But that's the case, the brand-new Temple of Light has really harvested another wave of believers, especially the civilian believers. Their living standards have been more or less improved, making the Rand Kingdom's national strength even stronger. Enhancement is coming.As the pope, Gu Qing also gathered a lot of power of faith.

What's interesting is that Raymond is also responsible for this. He brought the concept of rails and trains, which made a significant leap forward in the transportation industry of the Ilia continent.Before Raymond proposed this concept, the common mode of transportation in the Ilia continent was horse-drawn carriages.Even if senior magicians and mages know how to fly, the transportation of materials still relies more on manpower and power storage. It's just power storage. In addition to horses, there are also various tamed monsters.

However, the dwarves and goblins have modified the carriage, but they still lack that enlightenment.

As for why Raymond thought of the train, it was because he had his own magic tower, and when he was transporting the needed supplies, he had a flash of inspiration, and this flash of inspiration even got the favor of a blacksmith—Raymond De has a teacher in the legendary realm, and his personal talent can be regarded as top-notch among magicians, which makes him favored by the highest union of the Magicians Union.After Raymond became a great wizard, he participated in the Young Magician Competition held by the Supreme Union. After winning, he was qualified to build his own magic tower, which really made many magicians bleed with envy.

Anyway, with such a flash of inspiration, Raymond has made a lot of contributions to the Ilia Continent.

It didn't take long for the railroad tracks to be rolled out on the traffic arteries.The trains on the Ilia continent are powered by magic crystals, or pulled by monsters, which greatly facilitates the transportation of materials and also gives great inspiration to the blacksmiths on the mainland.Gu Qing will not be surprised when there are do-it-yourself cars on the Ilia continent.

Because of this incident, Raymond stole the limelight.There must be Sion from the Temple of Darkness behind this, and Gu Qing on the side of the Temple of Light is also happy to see it succeed. In the Kingdom of Rand, there are also the Kingdom of Silver Moon and the Principality of Bersek who also believe in the God of Light. Contributed to the spread of railroad tracks.Not only Grand Duke Andre contributed to the paving of the railroad tracks between Glory City and Stormwind City, but also the Rand Kingdom.

Because there are spells, magic, and forging techniques, this kind of huge project just looks huge. There are even magic pattern masters involved to ensure the firmness of the track, so that the track can be used for years or even decades. No maintenance is required.

Speaking of magic patterns, although Gu Qing didn’t learn them systematically when he was Elliott, there is a magic pattern master in the Temple of Light, and Gu Qing would sometimes ask him for advice.

Even better, Sion is quite accomplished in magic patterns and magic circles, but not as famous as his reputation in pharmacy.And Sion's proficiency is equivalent to Gu Qing's proficiency as Elliott.

Furthermore, in Gu Qing’s view, the various subjects in the Western fantasy world, compared with those in the world of comprehension, and even in the world of science and technology, are all inclusive, so Gu Qing has mastered new knowledge so quickly, and he is still Seeing the essence through imagination is a matter of course.

In this way, the Ilya Continent is more closely connected by the orbit extending in all directions. Apart from the remote areas, there is also the Dragon Island across the bay from the Ilia Continent.After the completion of the track in the areas of the God of Light led by the Rand Kingdom, Gu Qing, the Pope, and the archbishops took the train driven by the magic crystal to visit various parishes and further spread the Holy Light.

Gu Qing even planned to go to the Kingdom of Oran.

With such powerful publicity, Gu Qing, Elliott, is increasingly regarded as the incarnation of the Holy Light, and will be the most dazzling pope in the Temple of Light.Just like in the Dark Temple, Sion is the most favored pope, and under his leadership, the Dark Temple will achieve brilliance.

Sion also broke through to the legendary realm. Although he was more than a year later than Elliott, he was able to leapfrog and use spells above level [-] before he broke through to the legendary realm.Everyone felt that after breaking through the legendary realm, he would only become more powerful. At the same time, they also believed that there would be a decisive battle between Sion and Elliott.

With both of their names, Raymond was a bit of an underdog.Raymond was stimulated, and instead of chasing Madeleine, whom he had only met once, he fiercely upgraded his magic tower.In just one year, he was upgraded from level [-] to level [-], and he was able to cast level [-] magic by leapfrogging levels.This makes it only a matter of time before he breaks through the legendary realm.

Raymond's extraordinary performance was also noticed by the Magician's Union, and they were not stingy in supporting him, a rising star. The legendary magician Velen of the Supreme Union had personally met Raymond and given him advice.Even Vanessa and the stakeholders behind her couldn't help but bet more on Raymond, hoping that Raymond would cause even bigger waves.

So are Sion and 'Elliott'.

Raymond, who has been sidelined by Qiqi, really wants to make trouble recently:

Raymond's Magic Tower, built in Ashenvale.This Ashen Valley is adjacent to the Double Moon Plain where the Wind City is located. To the west is the Broken Star Canyon and the Forgotten Land, and to the south is the Misty Forest. It is not a very rich place.However, the geographical location of Ashen Valley is good, and there are not many local snakes, so Raymond established a magic tower in Ashen Valley, and then established his own network, which was actually quite smooth.

The highest guild of the Magician's Guild chose this place. In fact, it didn't mean to be different from the Temple of Light. After all, the Kingdom of Oran has always been the territory of the Magician's Guild. It is so close, and there is no need for believers to harvest the power of faith, but magicians enjoy a high status in the Kingdom of Oran, that is for sure.

Now that the Temple of Light is expanding to the Kingdom of Oran, the Magician's Guild doesn't express much on the surface, but it must be unhappy in its heart.

Especially the Magician Union in Gale City, which has been fighting with local forces, and the Temple of Light even came to share the cake.There was a small friction between the two parties before, but it was not known to the public in the end, so it became a trivial matter.Now the Supreme Union arranges Raymond near Blizzard City, to a certain extent, it wants Raymond to unite with the Mage Union in Blizzard City.

Raymond didn't care much about this strife, but who made it involve the Temple of Light.

After being nurtured by Vanessa and the Temple of Darkness for so long, Raymond knew that if he wanted to return to the Rand Kingdom with glory, the Temple of Light must be a difficult stumbling block.Furthermore, Raymond wanted to go back to be a king with real power, and he didn't need the Temple of Light to be regent.

Therefore, Raymond assigned the Temple of Light to the enemy camp, planning how to leverage the Temple of Light, and how to face the Rand Kingdom.

No matter how confident Raymond is, he also knows that he is still unable to compete with the Rand Kingdom and the Temple of Light personally, so he needs foreign aid.

After Vanessa learned of Raymond's troubles, her nails painted bright red lightly scratched Raymond's throat, causing Raymond to swallow quickly.Vanessa breathed out and said: "Honey, you underestimate yourself too much."

Raymond doesn't want to know why he underestimated himself now, he just wants Vanessa to know that he is not young.Vanessa didn't mind enjoying it. After enjoying it, she decided to be a considerate, virtuous and generous lover, that is, to find other lovers for Raymond.

Vanessa fell in love with Elizabeth who was about to marry into the Kingdom of Rand. Raymond didn't say anything, but he was thinking about Elizabeth in his heart, especially when he had seen the grown-up Elizabeth before.As for Vanessa's generous act, in Raymond's view, Vanessa completely loves him deeply, which makes Raymond love her even more.

Gee.

Raymond also didn't think about what Elizabeth represented, he was afraid that he would not be the target of public criticism.

After all, Raymond's robbery of marriage, no matter whether he originally wanted to stir up the situation or not, once this happened, the parties behind Elizabeth had to think too much.Not to mention the church in the Wind City, it was also destroyed. During the investigation of the Temple of Light, it was discovered that the Temple of Darkness had been involved in it, and the Temple of Darkness had an inseparable relationship with Raymond, who stood behind the Magician's Guild, so that before the magician There was a conflict between the division union and the Temple of Light Church, and it was revealed again.

Up to here, the situation is not so serious. As long as Raymond, the instigator, stops his horse from the brink, the relationship between the Temple of Light and the Magician's Union will still be eased.But some people don't want to see their relationship ease, not to mention whether it is the Temple of Light or the Magician's Union, neither of them will lose face.Even if the pope, Gu Qing, wanted to calm down the situation, other people in the Temple of Light would not agree, not to mention that Gu Qing was only doing superficial work, and he still wanted to make use of it.

As a result, Raymond's desire to snatch Elizabeth, after various promotions, gradually fermented into a major event involving the Temple of Light, the Magician's Guild, the Temple of Darkness, the Kingdom of Rand and the Kingdom of Oran.The relationship between these parties is still tense, and the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness are even more perpetual, while the Kingdom of Rand and the Kingdom of Oran are stationed behind their backs, so they will remain invincible after the war is triggered.

For such a development, Raymond was actually dumbfounded.

Vanessa smiled charmingly: "Honey, are you afraid? If it were me, I think the opportunity has come."

Raymond: "What?"

"Take back all the opportunities that should belong to you." Vanessa bewitched Raymond, making Raymond believe that if there is a war, several parties will inevitably suffer damage. At that time, if you want to calm the war, you need a Balance characters.Who could be more suitable to be that bridge than Raymond, who is both the prince of the Rand Kingdom and the magician, and also won the friendship of the Black Temple.

Raymond was deeply convinced.

Vanessa also said that she was willing to do her part for him, which made Raymond even more overjoyed, short of the title of Queen Vanessa.Vanessa rolled her eyes fiercely in her heart, and did her best for Raymond, and then Raymond turned his head, and when he saw Audrey, the saint of the Dark Temple, he confessed his life experience and determination—— Vanessa had hinted to Raymond before that she wanted to pull the Dark Temple into the chariot.

Audrey knew about Raymond's life experience from her Pope Sion early in the morning, and she was not surprised by Raymond's plan, but she was still surprised on the surface, and then returned to her usual calmness, "Do you think May I introduce you to meet His Majesty?"

Raymond stared intently at Audrey's picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and then said in a daze, "Sion? That would be the best."

Audrey was dissatisfied with Raymond's disrespect. Few people would call His Majesty by his first name right now, but Raymond didn't seem to realize it.Audrey half lowered her eyes: "Then you wait here first, and I will take you to meet His Majesty." Audrey inevitably showed some dissatisfaction, but Raymond didn't realize it at all, and just stared at Looking at other beauties, I also think about whether there are some or not.

After turning back, Audrey reported back to Sion, and finally she said angrily: "It is really hateful for this person to neglect His Majesty. I beg Your Majesty, after this person is useless to my temple, let me cut off his tongue and gouge out his tongue." His eyeballs."

Sion leaned halfway on the back of the chair, propped his cheeks with his hands, and raised the corners of his mouth when he heard the words: "I'm afraid that such a thing will not be your turn at that time."

Audrey thought the same, she must not be the only one who hated Raymond.

Hatred is hated, Raymond should be used, and Audrey will never be soft for the sake of the Dark Temple.Only that Vanessa is the strong enemy of the Dark Temple, but Audrey did not express her own thoughts. She believes that what she thought of, His Majesty must have thought of it long ago.

Speaking of this, Sion admired Vanessa somewhat, even if he wanted to send Audrey to confuse Raymond, there would be nothing more than that.It's just a matter of provoking Raymond. It's different from Vanessa's doing it here.Because the Dark Temple is one of the parties involved in this matter, but what does Vanessa represent, and what benefits can she get from it?

Regarding this, in the original plot, it was said that Vanessa is a witch.It's just that this witch is worthy of the name, that is, Vanessa herself has the blood of a demon, and the original plot is a bit vague.Fortunately, Sion has been fishing since he met Vanessa. He has released hundreds of insights for this. Now he has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the stakeholders behind Vanessa. Know.

For the Ilia continent, there is one threat that is the most frightening, and it has never been eliminated, and that is the devilish energy that overflows to the surface.And the source of this devilish energy is the dark abyss.In the heart of the dark abyss, the source of all evil is sealed, the demon lord Thesilos.This demon monarch wanted to rule the world early in the morning, but it was a pity that he died before he was able to succeed and was sealed in the heart of darkness. After so many years, the seal was loose, and he was about to wake up.

It's just that before fully waking up, the demon monarch should want to see the turmoil on the surface, and the camp that can hurt him and many of his demon ministers has been weakened to a certain extent.

In the original plot, the continent of Ilia was completely invaded by demon energy, but it was wiped out by Raymond sparks and lightning. , to realize the great wish of her and the demon behind her.

Sion probably thinks that it is necessary for him to let Raymond open his eyes, polish his eyes, and have an accurate understanding of himself and the people around him.

'Elliott' of Glory City quickly seconded his good idea.
