"You say it as if you know what I want to do. How do you know that these ten years are not a long time for me?" Lu En asked back.

"I don't know, but what I know is that if the plan for the empire is implemented for less than ten years, then there is basically no possibility of success, that's all." Medici remained calm, even if he only had one left.

head.

"That's a very smart decision. Do you have any last words? I didn't keep your head just for chatting." Lu En raised his head and looked into the other person's eyes.

He is worthy of being a knight. He can't even see the slightest fear and panic. His inner determination is admirable.

You must know that even if you can maintain the spirit state after death, it is equivalent to death. Resurrection is impossible. In any case, the soul will gradually lose its memory. Even if the spirit body remains, consciousness and thinking will gradually disappear.

, this is irreversible, the transformation into a spirit body can only last for a while at most.

"I don't need last words. I died in battle. A warrior's last battle is his last words. I can force a king to take action himself. My achievements are enough to honor my family. After my death, my soul will ascend to heaven.

To enjoy eternal peace, I am a saint, and God himself canonized me. Even the River Styx cannot bind my soul, let alone the king of hell."

"What's the point of having a soul alive? Besides, are you sure you can survive? You know, in my opinion, you are just like those souls in the River Styx, even more miserable. They will disappear after their memory is wiped away.

And you... don't even have a chance to erase your memory." Lu En said.

"It's hard for me to imagine that what you said is not a big lie. No one can block the guidance of heaven. If you could really do it, you would have been wanted by the church." William Medici's tone was not panicked.

Even the Great Master has no ability to prevent the souls of saints from ascending to heaven. If he could do it, the power of the church would probably be suppressed to death by him.

When the Grand Master still existed, the academic sect was no less powerful than the church, but they still couldn't do it.

Maybe there are some special skills that can do this, but those people have long been marked as wanted by the church, and most of those who deserve to be killed have been killed.

Therefore, Medici simply did not believe that the king in front of him could do it. The power of heaven was extraordinary, comparable to that of hell. Almost all kings relied heavily on the power of hell. This was not only their talent, but also their

It is impossible not to be affected by something that has been controlled since childhood, and using the power of the realm to intercept the soul from the heaven will definitely trigger the instinctive resistance of the heaven.

When we come to hell, humans have already planned everything. Even if a certain king raids the water plant and kills the garrison, the selected generals will almost certainly be able to return to heaven and report all the information truthfully.

.

For example, the current fire giant cannot be hidden.

Humans have never been a reckless race. On the contrary, they planned every step perfectly.

Therefore, Medici is not afraid. On the contrary, he is already waiting for the other party to die with him, which will definitely not take long.

However, Lu En smiled.

He lifted the opponent's head and grabbed Medici's body with the hands of the mage.

Then, the door to the realm opened, and he stepped out of hell and returned to the mortal world.

Immediately afterwards, there was another transmission.

He came to a dark-skinned man who was reading a book eagerly. His eyes were swollen like light bulbs, his eyes were dull, and his face was haggard, as if he had stayed up for ten days and nights.

It is none other than Alchemist Lieta.

"Here, the saint you want is alive. You can refine the holy bones yourself." Lu En said casually.

Yea, isn't he a wanted criminal in the church?

What he said is the same as whoever said it.

"Living? Saint!" Lieta closed the book and stood up immediately! It was like an evil beast found food!

Then Lu En watched him fall to the ground where he came from, and immediately ran out of breath.

Lu En originally thought that he was too excited and hadn't slept for a long time, so he fainted, but he shook the other person, pinched the person, and found that Lieta hadn't woken up yet, so he used magic to check.

"Damn it! Brain hemorrhage!? Don't die!"

Not to mention how Lieta was rescued, Wraith and Sombra were now standing blankly outside the Anluo settlement.

When Lu En came back, he conveniently left the two of them here.

The two of them looked at each other and decided to stand there and wait for Lu En.

They were unfamiliar with the place. The person who brought them turned around and disappeared, but they didn't even think about chasing. Chasing a magic 9 would only be done if their brains were broken.

Let's wait. Anyway, for Sombra, it doesn't matter even if he stands on the same spot for a hundred years. It can even be said that he enjoys it. For example, many large earth elements, such as some mountain spirits, will lie on the spot, almost

Even if they remain motionless for thousands of years, ordinary people will cultivate the land, build houses, and live on them generation after generation.

Then just wait.

——————————

While Lu En was taking action, the Gray Lady was on the observatory in the imperial capital.

The sky is dark, and faint smoke is floating on the horizon, bringing a hazy feeling to the morning light.

She was finishing up a night of stargazing and was still packing up her equipment.

The observatory is the core of the golem created by Daedalus and the energy node of the level 10 golem ‘Atheism’.

At the same time, it also serves as a laboratory for academic leaders, including the academic research results of thousands of years, whether it is the Third Ring Council, many university colleges, or various assigned research institutes and studios,

Or independent researchers funded by the academy, their valuable results are stored in the observatory.

One of Daedalus' hobbies in his spare time was observing the starry sky. He used a series of mysterious devices to observe the movement of stars, and was even able to measure the distance between himself and the stars.

Looking up at the starry sky and witnessing its composition, you can hear the stars whispering the secrets of the universe and destiny. As long as you can uncover the mysteries originating from the stars.

Whether it is the sky during the day or the sky at night, it is the same to the Gray Lady. She can clearly see the trajectory of the stars in the sky.

The stars are not eternal. They are acting on their own, just like a top that slowly changes position when it rotates. There will be slight "deviations" during the rotation. The elven sages have known the operation of stars and planets for a long time.

The pattern is not just a coincidence. As time goes by, the arrangement of the star images is constantly changing, which will cause the positions of the stars to change and the starry sky to gradually rotate and cycle.

A mortal may not be able to notice this change in his lifetime, but this change does exist. It is called the difference in years. It takes about 30,000 years for the starry sky to complete a cycle. A cycle is called the "Great Year".

'.

Daedalus did not believe in astrology. Although astrology was indeed useful with the help of magic and other skills, he still did not trust this technology enough. He was a staunch supporter of "future agnosticism" and the founder of the observatory.

The main purpose is to observe the climate and satisfy his hobby of stargazing.

But it's different for the Gray Lady. Through astrology, she can get a lot of enlightenment.

For example, tonight, she saw a lot of things.

Close your eyes, calculate the puzzles given by the stars, and transform them into pictures.

In the current empire, almost no one can use stargazing, because the magic concept inherited by the academic school does not recognize that one can know the future by looking at the position of the stars, so as long as one learns the magic created by Daedalus

school, then it is very difficult to learn stargazing, and you must break your own worldview.

After all, magic itself is an extremely subjective thing. Each mage has a different worldview, so their magic is also different. Magic itself is based on subjective philosophical concepts.

But the Gray Lady is different. As a traditional mage, a truly ancient mage, she is older and older than Daedalus. She is the kind of mage who has been passed down from ancient times and whose learning experience cannot be replicated. She has mastered many

Unique esoteric arts, including astrology.

Astrology starts slowly, and the trajectory of the stars is drawn into a picture in the mind, like a real hallucination.

She saw...the flames burning within the empire, burning away the filth, burning away the idols, and burning down the churches.

The flame comes from...alchemists, craftsmen, academic mages, and a large number of people who are no longer superstitious.

"Huh——!" She took a deep breath and woke up from the state of astrology, her magic power was almost exhausted!

Even Magic 9 cannot observe the future for too long. Besides, whether it is the future is still the same thing. Daedalus has always regarded the future observed by stargazing as a psychological suggestion for himself, and the real

The future is completely different, and the Gray Lady and him had many quarrels about this.

"The future of the church? Why do you see this?" Her eyes became sharp.

The future of stargazing is the real future, she has always believed in this.

But the future can be changed, and this is what she believes.

"What will happen after the Academy? A full-scale battle with the church?" As the successor of Daedalus, she thought about how to move the entire force to a higher position.

Among them, the biggest enemy is the church, which can be said to be irreconcilable, especially since the other party actually assassinated the supreme leader of the academy, the Grand Master.

Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside.

A voice said: "Your Majesty the Grand Master, the meeting is about to begin. Please be prepared."

Yes, Gray Lady is now the Grand Tutor, because she is the leader of the entire academy and has inherited the position of Grand Tutor. This title means that she is the "mentor" of all members of the academy.

"I know, I will go." She promised, hiding this prophecy in her heart.

If you don't hide it in your heart, I'm afraid something big will happen.

Without going out, she teleported away directly.

The miracle that Magic 9 can achieve, teleportation, completely subverts the concept of distance in space, especially human Magic 9. It only requires long-term training and practice, and with the help of massive supplies, a portal can be built

.

The place where Gray Lady teleported was in front of the teleportation gate of the Imperial Capital, where she welcomed a distinguished guest.

Almost every province in the empire has a portal. This is the ultimate crystallization of human wisdom. It is a technology that is unique to humans and cannot be copied by elves. This is the result of the efforts of academics.

Teleportation Array, this is the most complex rune array in the world.
