Chapter 1601 The Truth Revealed
,!
Even a rural bank that is usually guarded by only one person can rely on the power and support of the World Tree to mobilize a combat squadron in the blink of an eye to deal with any situation.
Unless the robber is a powerful person or a gang member. Otherwise, when facing elves with more than a hundred people, who can expand to a team of thousands at any time, they will only fall into the hands of the bank. No one else would do anything bad under the eyes of the gods.
If there really is a strong person who defies heaven... Such a person can live a comfortable life without robbing a bank.
But it is impossible to expect a robber to become a regular official and live a peaceful life from now on. Many of them engaged in things like kidnapping and extortion, and started to compete with others in battles of wits and courage.
But this is just like robbing goods. The difficulty is very different from being able to directly grab money. Therefore, although the focus of incidents has shifted, the overall number of incidents has decreased. Such a phenomenon makes these people in power not know whether to cry or laugh.
In short, the bank of the gold coin goddess Ke Yin has a huge impact on the entire Lost Land. In the eyes of this group of people at the top of power, banks are monsters that are harder to control and more terrifying than forums that promote the flow of intelligence.
This is why there is no god behind the forum, but there is a goddess behind the bank. Although this statement is told to a certain person, he will say that this is just a conjecture of later generations, rather than the boundaries between the two different systems that distinguish important and unimportant.
But a certain magician said at this time that the rise of the gold goddess and the complete erosion of the entire land by banks were just part of a big plan!
is it possible?
This... seems really possible.
In fact, there has always been some kind of power hidden under the surface. Of course, it is impossible for these people who are at the top of the power of the Lost Land to be ignorant. But with the power in their hands, they can't figure out the truth, which is very scary to think about.
Now everything has been exposed, even if they just want to accuse a certain magician of being so absurd and uninhibited. But deep down, they feel that this is the truth.
but! But what surprised them most was the next development.
The Ninth Power Plan has been implemented so far. Although there are too many details that are difficult for outsiders to grasp, the development of the bank and the growth of the Gold Coin Goddess are all in the eyes of everyone. But if all of these are factors that prompt the door of the abyss to open, then what will everyone think?
When the locations and actual scenes of the eight eternal gates of the abyss were unfolded in front of everyone. The information about their respective guardians was also spread out in front of everyone without any concealment. The issue of the ninth gate of the abyss has become a heavy pressure, weighing on everyone's shoulders.
You can choose to close the door at the southern border of the Sulitang Empire, but this will only postpone the situation temporarily. Sooner or later, another complete door to the abyss will be opened somewhere else.
If the devil still discovers that door first, then it will become the bridgehead for the abyss to attack the lost land, and once again we will usher in a war with huge sacrifices.
But this development is just an inference. Among the audience, many were taking chances and thought that the door to the abyss should be closed. Maybe the abyss just stopped. Then you won't have any subsequent troubles.
If you agree not to close the door to the abyss, then you must find another way to block it so that the two sides can no longer communicate freely. Just like the eight abyss gates that have existed for a long time.
Those eight gates were handed down in the form of secrets in the records of their respective empires. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove it, everyone still holds the attitude that they would rather believe it than believe it.
On the one hand, it is also because there are too many things that are unrecorded but are facts. Many of them still exist to this day, and there is nowhere to deny them even if you want to.
Therefore, the attitude of the Midi people towards this kind of thing is quite open, and they will not deny it blindly. Unless doing so has political propaganda implications.
Now that I have acknowledged it in my heart, those eight doors do exist. Then the corresponding guardian also exists, which is not unacceptable.
Therefore, the conclusion is very likely to be the same as what the magician in front of them said. What they should do is not to close the ninth door of the abyss. Instead, try to find a guardian for this door, or other alternative methods.
The Gate Twin Towers plan was finally revealed to everyone.
After everyone listened, they had only one thought: the layout of this preface is really damn long!
Questioning whether the Two Towers of the Gate can replace the effectiveness of the Guardian? The magician had done exhaustive research and found ways to simulate the guardian's duties. I almost have to pat my chest to ensure that these two towers can definitely perform their due functions.
But for the two pragmatic emperors and their ministers, the most important thing was just that they could do it. That is to block that door so that the devil cannot pass through it and freely enter and exit the world on both sides.
But such a simple request is not the reason why they must easily agree to give up control of the Twin Towers!
That's right! As a group of people at the pinnacle of power in Midland, after hearing such a grand plan and the necessity and importance of the Twin Towers of the Gate, it is only natural for people to want to control such a thing in their hands.
This is not the power to control whether to allow demons to pass through or to allow humans to enter the abyss. But it has a deeper meaning. This is the ticket to elevate the empire's status from the pinnacle of the human world to another level and enter another world of power.
but! But again, are they able to eat this big cake?
Control the magician in front of you and make him pour out everything in his stomach?
Not to mention that the people present were all pampered aristocratic lords, and the only extraordinary person who could fight was on the same side as the magician. Just by calling in all the guards waiting outside, can we deal with this man who can stand up to the Lord of Guardians?
I'm afraid that with all the people in the airship bundled together, there won't be enough for him to fight alone.
If you know the plan, then rule out this man and go it alone! Anyway, from the perspective of the beings behind him, the most important thing is to get things done, not that it has to be done in the hands of a specific person.
This kind of operation is not something out of the ordinary for a group of nobles who have experienced struggles and are sophisticated. Even if the objects are different, as long as they also have desires and needs, there is room for manipulation...
Is it really?
The reason why I have such self-doubt is that everyone present is thinking about the same problem. That is, if you want to do the aforementioned things, you must have a prerequisite, which is to win the current war against the abyss.
However, in order to win the current war against the abyss, it seems that the things provided by the magician in front of him must be used.
At the beginning, the old man who served as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces said so. When the Abyss Lord arrived and the gods did not show up for unknown reasons, they were able to stop the Abyss Lord's manpower, which was far less than the opponent's number. This is a terrifying threat to ordinary armies.
Only with the support of the magic tower can we have the strength to fight. This was also the reason why he began to think about building towers all the way north to the Gate of the Abyss, a strategy of using defense as offense.
If they do not plan to use such tactics, they will have to find a way to solve the problem caused by the number of Abyss Lords.
People or things that can compete with beings at the level of gods are extremely rare beings. In an era, if there is a person who can rival God, it can be called a golden age. If such powerful people can be found everywhere, then what is the meaning of the existence of gods.
The Empire certainly has the means to fight it, but they are few and heavily restrictive. It cannot be used casually, nor is it free of charge. Perhaps precious materials were consumed, or perhaps something more valuable was to be sacrificed.
According to common sense, the Lord of the Abyss should be dealt with by the gods of the Lost World, and this pressure should not be placed on mortals. Perhaps saying so would be detrimental to the character of an empire.
But what is different from what ordinary people think is that the emperors who are at the extreme level of power know very well that there are limits to 'manpower'. Even if one day in the future, the current problem can be solved with the passage of time, there is no solution now.
Admitting this is not considered a failure, but it will help you find another way and find a solution faster. Instead of being stuck in solutions that don’t solve the problem until it’s too late.
Since the beginning of the war, not to mention that the gods have not appeared, even the guardian lord who is most active in fighting against external enemies seems to have disappeared. People can't help but wonder, has this god died?
This war is weird from all aspects, and these capable people at the top of power have long been aware of this. They just can't find the answer, and no one can answer it.
Now that everything has been revealed and all the clues have been perfectly closed, this war that should have been a huge headache is destined to end and end with the victory of the lost side. This happy ending made everyone feel very unhappy.
The reason is simple. During the entire process, the only thing humans can do is sacrifice. And it was a needless sacrifice that could have been avoided.
With the respect of the empire, when have they ever been angry at the level of a little daughter-in-law?
I thought that I was the protagonist who did my duty, and everything I did was for righteousness and everything. As a result, when the truth was revealed, I realized that I was just a sidekick, and no matter how much I paid, it would be a joke.
Normal people can't accept this kind of thing, let alone a group of gentlemen who have held power for a long time and enjoy the treatment of superiors.
At this time, Count Guha, the youngest among all the nobles, couldn't help it anymore. He jumped out and said: "Your Majesty the Great Magician, what evidence do you have to prove everything you said? Although this whole story sounds like there is nothing wrong with it. But there are too many things that we can't verify. You should be able to understand that the more important the matter, the more definite evidence is needed when making a decision, rather than just relying on a few stories."
