"First of all, assume that the curse you are talking about exists - I am assuming it. Although I still doubt this, if we deny this point, the discussion cannot begin. Then, assuming that the curse exists, we can based on Know the conditions to speculate on the conditions for its triggering.”
After once again destroying facilities around the city, Ella told Amy and Drague what she thought.
"The first is the location where the curse can be triggered. Based on the current information, it is more reasonable to assume that it is within the Qiqiu Empire. Then we will examine the situation where the curse is not triggered. Yin Ben Xina used magic to destroy the temple and kill the priest that night. The curse did not occur. Gregory once used magic to kill Jabir on Antilia Island in the Seven Hills Empire, and the curse did not occur. In other words, they can use magic normally in the Seven Hills Empire. Germany La Gué, you said that when the temple shines, the apostles will retreat, then when will the temple shine?"
"Usually it's during a war," Drague said. "I'm in Delphi and I don't know the specific situation on the front line. But every time it's during a war, and once the temple shines, good news will come back from the front line soon. .”
Ella's ears suddenly pricked up: "Good news will come back every time? Are you sure?"
"Sure, is there anything strange about this?"
"Of course it's strange. Because the scary thing about the Tianfang Empire is not only the apostles, but also their powerful army. Except for the apostles and priests, everyone else in the Tianfang Empire doesn't know magic. It's hard to imagine that ordinary people like me would be affected by This weird curse—Amy, I still think the term curse is a bit far-fetched.”
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that in the magic system of our Qiqiu Empire, there is also a god who is responsible for the protection of curses." Amy tried to correct Ella's absurd thoughts, "What's so strange about ordinary people being cursed!"
"Gu...Okay, let's continue to assume that this curse exists. Since the Tianfang Empire's army will also be affected, the effect of the curse is definitely not to reduce magic power - reducing magic power cannot weaken their combat effectiveness and guarantee victory. Yes, right?"
"Um."
"Here comes another strange place. If the curse reduces the magic power of the apostles to a very low level, that would be fine. But since it does not reduce the magic power, the Qiqiu Empire and the Tianfang Empire have been fighting for thousands of years, but they don't know that there is someone on the other side. For such a powerful enemy as the apostle, could it be said that the apostle has never used magic in front of the army even once?"
"I understand, the triggering condition is to face the army! Look, that Son of God also failed in the war!" Amy hammered her palm in sudden realization, "The elves are fortresses on the battlefield, even if there are thousands of great elves, The army is also difficult to defeat - the rating of magic is related to the performance on the battlefield. Even if a powerful force is displayed in front of a small group of people, it will not be considered powerful as long as it cannot be used against the army. Magician!"
"No, Amy, you have forgotten that the apostle used magic on our army. That time, he transferred our fleet directly from the Seven Hills Empire to Antilia. Different from the war, the magic that time was mine Both my uncle and the army acquiesced."
"Hmm...could it be that you have to use magic against the army to trigger the curse?"
"But this transfer almost destroyed the Seven Hills Empire's fleet!" Ella said, "This is the third strange thing. According to Paracelsus, the curse should be a very subjective thing. Even if Seven Hills The Qiu Empire was completely unaware of it, but for the magicians of the Tianfang Empire, the curse existed. According to this view, it does not matter whether the Qiu Empire discovered the apostle's plan, as long as the apostle himself knew that he was going to destroy the other party. Fleet, then the curse should be applied - Amy, Drague, even if there are so many strange things, do you still think this curse exists?"
"Why do you always say such strange things! Yin Ben Xina himself said that he was coming to lift the curse!" Drague shouted, "And if there is no curse, how can you explain the apostle's presence on the battlefield? How about your performance?"
"What the enemy knows may not be correct." Ella responded nonchalantly, "Also, Dragué, didn't you also think that it was the temple protecting the Seven Hills Empire at first? You thought it was unreasonable, so you changed your mind and said it was a curse. Of?"
Drague was stopped by Ella again and was speechless.
"However, at least two points are true." Ella continued, "First, whether it is a curse or other reasons, the apostle did not perform well when facing the army of the Seven Hills Empire. Second, Even if the curse does not exist, we cannot let Yin Ben Xina resurrect the Son of God, we must defeat him before then. Therefore, we must move the army here and let them stop Yin Ben Xina!"
"So these days you keep asking me to turn into a dragon and attack Delphi!" Drague suddenly realized, "You want to use me to lure the crusade here!"
"That's right!" Ella said proudly, "Although I no longer have the power to mobilize the Qiqiu Empire's army, there are many ways to make other people's armies work for me - it hurts! Dragu Aye, why are you stepping on my toes?"
"It's all because of your bad idea. Now everyone in Delphi says I'm an evil dragon! I've been a good and law-abiding dragon for the past thousand years! What a dragon!"
Drague let out a "hum", turned around and left. Ella hurriedly shouted: "Where are you going?"
"Go to the Governor's Palace in Yinlilia District and see where the crusade army has moved!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Drague's figure disappeared from the horizon.
"Delague is really eager to avenge her sister." Looking at the empty horizon, Ella sighed, "Amy, when I see her, do you know who I think of?"
Amy replied: "Your Majesty, I guess... you are thinking of yourself?"
"Yes, after I learned that my father and mother were killed, I have been eager to go to war with the Tianfang Empire. I know that the Tianfang Empire is very powerful, but I just want revenge. Thinking about it now, this is probably one of the reasons why my uncle wants to oust me. One."
As he spoke, Ella unconsciously turned in the direction of Constantinier, looking at the distant horizon in trance.
"Amy, I really want to go back to Constantinye to see..."
Amy smiled bitterly and deliberately changed the subject: "Your Majesty, how long do you think it will take for the crusade to get here?"
"It will take another ten days at most. The Yinlilia Field Army is a team mainly composed of cavalry, and it is located in a territory with developed roads, so its mobility is very strong."
Ella made calculations in her mind. It has only been a little over half a month since she made the plan. The Yinlilia Field Army must arrive at Delphi before Yinben Xina can be transformed into a human body, so there should be more than enough time.
However, that night, Drague came back looking strange.
"Our plan seems to have failed. I flew all the way to the Governor's Palace in Yinlilia... and saw no sign of troop mobilization."
