Chapter 514 Church
“This is indeed the worst possibility.”
McDonald’s heart twitched.
If according to what he said, the appearance of the tenth disaster star symbolizes invasion, rather than referring to a specific enemy, then the scope is even wider.
Aldrich was also frightened by his conjecture.
"So! We must prepare strong force to deal with the worst situation."
Seeing the two people who were almost sluggish, Academician Alvi said loudly, and his powerful voice made the two of them turn around. God comes.
"Jalvi is right, we must strengthen ourselves."
Under the reminder of his junior, Aldrich's eyes regained their luster.
He said: "Lord MacDonald, now we are going to tell you the main topic of today's conversation."
By the time the conversation between the three of them reached this point, McDonald already knew most of the inside story.
The battle for the succession to the throne, the origin of His Highness Antonio, the mysterious wizard organization, the White Tower that abandoned neutrality, the legendary demons, and the terrifying prophecy of doomsday.
He has connected these things.
"As you should be thinking in your mind right now."
Aldridge said, his tone now full of sincerity.
"The White Tower gave up the neutrality it has always adhered to in politics and joined this battle for the throne, just to build a powerful force. And the most convenient and effective way - after we carefully considered The decision we made was to unite with the wizards, so we chose His Highness Antonio, who has a great connection with the wizarding world. Of course, I do not deny the friendship between me and His Highness Antonio’s grandfather, Cisco Hewitt. It had a great impact on my choice, but..."
"No matter what, I have to admit that wizards possess powerful power that is difficult for mortals to achieve. If it is the legendary demon that invades our human world. If the demons really have all kinds of strange abilities as in the legend, then the best weapon for us humans to fight against them is wizards. As the saying goes - defeat magic with magic."
"And. As you know, the image of wizards in the secular world is very poor. Due to the church's long-term public opinion guidance, they have been misunderstood and even feared by the world. Each wizard must carefully hide his identity in order to survive. Go down, but they also want to walk openly under the sun, so..."
McDonald understood as soon as he heard it, "The White Tower longs for power, while the wizards long for a public identity. ..."
"Yes, we hit it off immediately"
Aldrich nodded to him to confirm. He stopped and looked at MacDonald. There was no expression of disgust or anger on the other person's face, so he continued with confidence: "Master MacDonald, you know what you are taking care of." How was that child rescued?”
“You mean Jonny?”
McDonald was startled, and then realized that since Baita was on His Highness Antonio’s side, There is nothing surprising after knowing this matter. Maybe it was the wise man in front of him who gave His Highness the idea to rescue Jonny.
McDonald also asked about how His Highness Antonio's men rescued Jonny that night, but His Highness just vaguely said that he would tell him at the appropriate time.
Has the time finally come?
"Yes, Mr. MacDonald, it was that child. Now I might as well tell you clearly that it was the wizards of the Secret Order who rescued Jonny and used the magical power they had to break through the many guards. , and obtained Jonny's location from the head of a powerful, highly trained killer, and finally rescued the child, and also hid his actions well from the world."
"If ordinary people were sent there - I mean ordinary people compared to wizards - they would not be able to achieve such perfection. Ordinary people would either not be able to break through the numerous guards, or they would not be able to do it without knowing what is going on. I feel that it is very likely that neither can be done.”
After listening to Bachelor Aldrich’s description, Macdonald nodded in agreement.
"Lord MacDonald." Aldrich asked: "Do you think what the White Tower did was right?" MacDonald touched his beard and answered honestly: "I at least Unable to object"
"Don't you have any secular prejudice against spellcasters - that's what wizards call themselves?"
"Oh, specifically, at least I have no prejudice against their abilities, just like There is no distinction between good and evil in weapons. The key is whether the person using the weapon is just or evil."
"But..." McDonald asked: "If it is just a small team, go and do an assassination. Or the destruction is okay, but if it is a large-scale military battle, it seems a bit unsatisfactory."
"So..." Alvi continued, he stretched out his right hand and made a fist in mid-air, "We. It is necessary to use national-level strength as support to build an army of wizards to fight against the coming powerful enemy."
"An army of wizards?"
Jalvi's words made Macdonald feel incredible.
This kind of existence itself is almost a legendary existence. How about forming an entire army?
What's more...
"Can the church, or the Holy See, allow it?"
McDonald thought of the most critical question.
"Haha. Of course they won't allow it."
Aldrich sneered, with a hint of coldness in his laughter.
“The church will be the biggest stumbling block on our way forward.”
Jalvi also echoed: “This stumbling block must be cleared.”
Treat the church as a stumbling block. Clean it up?
Although MacDonald had received enough shocks today after entering the White Tower, he was still extremely shocked by the words of the two maesters at this moment.
For the people of this country, the church of Gabela is the representative of God in the world, not to mention that behind the church there is the Holy See which is no different from a powerful country - in this way, it may be called The Papal States is more appropriate.
"You...are you serious about what you said?"
McDonald asked the two bachelors with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Of course, my lord marshal. Let me tell you the truth, you know that the Dias family is behind the eldest prince, but who is behind the Dias family? To tell you the truth, that is The Church of Gabera is supporting them. No matter what, we must face the behemoth of the Church of Gabera, which is a... huge stone."
"What?" Aldrich saw the flash of hesitation in Macdonald's eyes, "Is the Marshal's loyalty beginning to waver?"
"You!"
Mike Donner was angry.
