The wet side of the ship was covered with seaweed, and twenty trackers worked together to drag the last piece of steel into the dock. They tried their best, but the two closest to them had veins popping out on their foreheads and their faces were red. A mysterious creature stood on the dockside and commanded, using a whip instead of a slogan. Although ring level wizardry has no way to deal with such a huge object, it can still be done by slightly reducing the weight to speed up efficiency. It's just that the mysterious person would rather use this power to force mortals to work than put it into production in a condescending manner.
what is the relationship? Lind closed the book. There is a clear distinction between mortals and mysteries. He must forget these meaningless thoughts and use his wisdom for the right path. Once he was one of the mortals, but now mystery is everything to him.
The Alchemy Battleship of the Oath Keepers Alliance is worth the wizards' time to salvage, but since the Earl of the Bay has taken the initiative to ask for help, there is no reason for him to refuse. It was quite cost-effective to replace the wizards' possible magic losses with mortal labor, especially when his subordinates were all idiots. A bunch of losers, the five of them together couldn't even defeat two tower apprentices. Why should I bring them to the battlefield to die?
Linde was not in the mood to rebuke them. He himself had the same behavior before the ascetic life began. The School of Silence is rooted in a secret area that no one knows, studying knowledge and exploring mysteries all day long. You can't say that the job they found for themselves is wrong, but the consequence of investing all their lives in paper, pen and ink, experimental tables and glass bottles is the fragility of the individual. What's more, most people don't get into the pile of papers out of curiosity, they just do it out of habit - if they don't do this, they don't know what they are going to do. Is there any more tragic life than this? The truth can never be obtained by these rubbish.
However, compared to Croita, the development of the wizards of the school is not extreme. The astrologers in the clouds left all matters other than their duties to the Department of Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and huddled in the City of Clouds to watch the stars. After all, among wizards there are scholars who study the power of witchcraft. The mysterious profession determines the main direction, but it does not mean that one has to give up other things completely. Otherwise, the pillars will collapse if they are mismanaged.
Even the devil can see this. If the White Envoy really died in Six Finger Castle, Croita might have to give up Eastman. This is conducive to the development of the Silent School, but they cannot allow the devil to run rampant. Damn it, when did the devil ever run rampant? It would be better to waste time on them than to think about how to deal with Croita. School could have gotten more.
Before entering the School of Silence, Lind's truth was fists and knives. Later, he realized his mistake, began to respect the legal principles of order, and used the former to protect them. Knox's order was unshakable, and he soon realized it. Astrologers have been preaching about their responsibilities for so many years that they themselves seem to believe it.
The steel made a sharp friction sound, and he almost fell off the edge. The overseer immediately whipped the nearest man and scolded him loudly. But when he saw Lind watching not far away, he stiffly pretended to be tolerant. In fact, he doesn't have to worry. Linde is not a member of the Gaia Church. Kindness and mercy are never wasted on useless places.
Yes, he despised those mortals because he had once been one of them and knew all about their folly. These people don't know how precious alchemical knowledge the Oath Keepers Alliance's warships represent, and they don't even understand the correct force posture when dragging things. They are not even willing to learn literacy and numeracy. Ignorance is the original sin, and mortals deserve to be driven by others. But fortunately, they were not stupid enough to be willing to die. No matter what the wizards told them to do, people tried their best to complete it, just hoping to be protected when the war came.
He also looked down upon nobles among mortals. Recently in Beacon Town, the count's majesty has disappeared, the Gulf Fleet has been completely destroyed, and people all understand who is the main force protecting the town. At first, the Earl could rely on the support of the local fleet and the Oath Keepers Alliance to give him face, but after he foolishly handed over the former to the vampire spies and the alliance lost the initiative, he had to come to the door of the school of wizards. Asked for help before.
Of course, Earl DeWitt Hearn of the Bay is not just here for the situation in the Bay. Linde could see that from the bottom of his heart he did not believe that the war would spread to Beacon Town and the Bay Cities. What really makes the count fearful is another person, a foreign knight who was originally his confidant and is now a blood mercenary. Even mortals don't understand this joke.
Night elves are indeed rare, but they are not considered a rare species in the mysterious realm. The two were fooled around by a mongrel woman by a vampire nightingale, and even became the trigger of the Gulf War. This is a very strange and stupid thing. It sounds like the plot in a ballad book. It is absurd and bizarre and lacks reality.
After the salvage work was completed, the wizards of the school no longer had time to fill other positions. The ascetics took over the city defense instead of the patrol team, and the detection station came under the control of the wizards earlier than the Security Bureau. Lind, the vampire, is not worried, but the association must deal with it carefully.
South of Eastman, the hunt for demons barely reaches the level of the mysterious Fulcrum, but not so much in the north. The Knights of the Cross searched the streets many times more frequently than usual, burning six people to death in three days. The mortals cheered under the fire, and the soldiers and mysterious creatures gained momentum. Unfortunately, there were no members of the Society among them, let alone the starless night. After the demon-hunting campaign, Eastman seemed to have no more associations. The demons were hidden among the crowd, and they were just scattered rats. Lind looked down on them, but disdain to drive them away did not mean he was soft-hearted. He would kill them as usual. It is obviously very cost-effective to use the worthless lives of these people to win the support of the locals.
This alleviated Linde's shortage of manpower to a certain extent. The destruction of Six Finger Castle interrupted Eastman's ladder. The Law Wizard Shania promised that reinforcements would arrive using the church's spare ladder, but the time was inevitably extended.
Shania Ravenus should not be the one to lead this search party, Lind thought. She was too young and had never left Wizard's Bluff. Of course, the School of Silence is a rather large mysterious organization, and Shania's ability to stand out is enough to prove its ability... Maybe ability is not experience, dealing with cunning mortals - although Lind is not happy to do this, but Eastman is the sky after all The vassal country of the tower needs a stronger and more experienced great wizard. Lord "Secret Box" Grad Selmer can take on this important task, or even Lord "Tattoo" Jizuk can do it. The former is the most dangerous person in the Silent School, while the latter is the leader of the ascetics. Well, to be honest, he also looked down on Shania as a woman.
Lynde Punabag is a wizard of the ascetic sect, even though he originally did not think that asceticism was of any help in exploring the truth. Of course, all the apprentices think so, plus most of the wizards who have no experience and the academic school who are extremely resistant to this. They can't bear any hardship, take knowledge and witchcraft for granted, and are ungrateful. Before leaving Wizard's Cliff, Linde couldn't deny that he thought the same thing: he was separated from the suffering mortal world, and after tasting the convenience of witchcraft and the sweetness of knowledge, he was forced to temporarily abandon them and return to the mortal world. The torture of hell is nothing but this!
But Linde refused to admit defeat to Penance. He was more accustomed to winning than breathing. Shania Ravenus's crossing of the Path of Death gave him his first defeat, but the ascetic's experience changed Lind. He attempts to obey the teachings of Gaia and break free from them to discover the truth behind the gods. His early experiences allowed him to easily blend in with mortals, and his wisdom and knowledge helped him learn lessons from the mysterious wasteland. Finally, Linde got close to a part of the truth as he wished - the mystery favored him, and the shackles were loosened.
Now, two paths open in front of Lind: cross the path of death, or ignite the firewood accumulated in the soul so far and turn it into ashes. No matter how confident a person is, he cannot be decisive in the face of life and death. His fingers traced the spines, the stiff paper limp with moisture and dust staining the edges. Only the Holy Scriptures could resolve my confusion.
After the Church of Gaia lost its Holy Scripture, the School of Silence immediately set out to investigate its whereabouts, but what they got was an unexpected clue. The church's holy book "Confessions" is not an isolated copy. It would be fine if it were a book circulated among mortals, but the holy book is a mysterious item at the level of the Sky Realm. Even in the ancient times, it was unimaginable to mass-produce mysterious items at the Sky Realm level. However, it turns out that its kind does exist...
This is also the reason why the wizards sent Lord Shania. She may be young and stubborn, but she is one of the few law wizards who are good at destructive witchcraft. If it were a "rock scholar" or His Excellency Pentaba, he would inevitably lack the right to speak when he came to Eastman, the country of the tower. The last Bishop of the Glorious Council who led the movement in the ice without authorization almost died in this mortal kingdom, and also caused their goddess mission to completely fail. Although the Holy Scripture is only the name of the Church of Gaia, its recovery cannot be compromised, and it is also imperative to find out the answers to the many mysterious items.
For me, this is also a fateful task.
Linde stared at Tielong Port in the night. The sea was dark and the lighthouse flashed rhythmically. Compared to the Fanyun Flag Forest when we arrived, the shore of Lighthouse Town is now simply empty. In order to avoid the war, the traveling merchants docked their fleets at Jinque River and Black Sand Port, with only a few patrol ships going back and forth around the coast. The Oath Keepers will no longer allow fleets to sail from the River Gorn into the Singing Sea, and their tension is pointless.
If I believed in Gaia wholeheartedly, maybe I wouldn't be so bothered. Fanatics are a pain in the butt, but their will is stronger than most ascetics. In fact, ascetics are originally part of the church, and what wizards gain from entering it is mostly lamentation, pain, and gratitude for the life of the school. Waste and exercise are also waste.
The High Ring is the end of the Fire and the limit for most mystics. At this stage, no one will risk crossing the path of death unless their life span is over or circumstances force them to do so. There were rumors in the school that the Holy Scriptures could allow people to achieve the realm of emptiness... Linde had already come into contact with the "Confessions" very early on, but it had no reaction at that time. He doesn't think the results will change after so many years, but the new scripture may have different standards. Regardless, he needs to seize this opportunity.
He also looked down upon himself for this idea.
