Chapter 144 Their Aftermath (Part 2)

Today is the 3rd of Yuyue, In another day, it will be the summon day of the Mad Fool Valk, and also the annual April Fool’s Carnival.

Compared to the scenes of martial law when William came here a few times before, the order on Thorn City Street is basically back to normal now, at least there are no more thorny black guards in black armor to patrol the streets. , to hunt down Moon Realm believers, and the people were alarmed.

Possibly due to April Fool’s Day coming, the market can be seen everywhere selling bamboo chips and cardboard. Many children in dirty and ragged clothes hold a few crumpled copper nars in their hands and buy the raw materials for making beggar crowns from traders.

For the children living in the bottom slums, April Fool’s Day or the Beggar King’s Day is one of the few festivals that belongs to them in a year. On this day, as long as they wear the woven beggar crown, they can go out to the streets to ask for food and money from those who seem to be rich, without fear of rejection or retaliation.

In fact, in order to maintain order in the city on April Fool’s Day, nobles in many parts of the Vic continent even dispatched special personnel to distribute food to the slums on that day.

Thinking of this, William couldn’t help feeling a strong sarcasm.

The Void King of the Moon Realm is undoubtedly the enemy of all sentient beings in this world, but their existence has indirectly contributed to the progress of the world in some places.

After all, who would have thought that a joke that Valk used to ridicule power could evolve into a festival for the poor in the last ages?

As a world where individual strength can open a huge gap, this world does not have the basic conditions for launching a revolution from the bottom up. Vic continent has a history of more than 12,000 years of civilization since the Black Iron Era with historical records, but it is close to 8,000 years. The political structure of human beings is the most primitive and ignorant tribal system. Down.

After all, those families who inherit divide blood and witchcraft secrets are unshakable, and naturally they lack the motivation to change their way of life. Even now, the use of extraordinary power has largely gotten rid of the dependence on bloodline inheritance, and the system of magic-related knowledge is no longer a secret, but knowledge that can be spread in public, but absolute power is still used by a few. The powerhouse is in its own hands.

Because of this, the political system of the entire continent has remained in the medieval structure until now. And most rulers don’t care so much about the living conditions of the people under their rule – compared to the threat they may bring when they rise up, on the contrary, they may be chosen by the mad fool, Your Excellency, on April Fool’s Day. The object of the joke, it’s more threatening to switch roles with some unknown beggar.

Big enough to make them suddenly feel compassion, willing to put down their bodies on this day to appease the poor in the slums.

Not only that, in those days when the Moon Realm threat was at your fingertips, the major kingdoms on the Vic continent feared that the war would increase the strength of the war lord, the King of Dead Blood, and fed back to the world. Therefore, he has always maintained a very restrained conservative attitude towards war.

However, after The Last Watchers sealed the last Moon Realm rift in the entire continent, theoretically cutting off the Moon Realm’s influence on the Vic continent, the countries that lost their worries were instead. Aroused interest in war, and directly led to the troubled times of the Kings era for more than two hundred years.

From this point of view, the King of Dead Blood, the Void King who symbolizes war, violence and blood, is the biggest Guardian of peace in the world.

The damage caused by the maliciousness of the mortals in this world is no worse than that of the Void Kings. At least the Void Kings failed to kill Du Wei who was the second seat of the trial seat.

Thinking of this, William only felt a sigh of relief.

“The Lord of the Twilight” means “the Lord of the Twilight Fortress” as the name suggests. As The Last Watcher, Du Wei’s qualifications are even deeper than William himself. In the game, the protagonist inherited the legacy of the previous judge. When he first came to Twilight Fortress, Du Wei was one of the last two people in The Last Watcher.

In the Initial Stage of the game’s story, he and another person exist as William’s newcomer Guide. Du Wei is responsible for supervising and operating everything in Twilight Fortress, and publishing the main storyline related to it, while another person is responsible for publishing the main storyline of the entire continent to collect the trial armed. In the middle stage of the game, the developers will be very malicious according to which side of the player’s quest progress is faster, and who will be the victim of the plot to die under the first invasion of the Moon Realm.

And this The Last Watcher, the oldest who survived three Moon Realm wars and fought against Moon Realm monsters all his life, finally died at the hands of his own people in this world.

But who killed him?

When William asked this question, Blake said he didn’t know either.

In terms of motivation, “Lionheart” Byron, whose proposal has been rejected by the other party, has the most reason to do so, and in terms of ability, “Shadow” Kos is the most likely people who do it.

Not only that, except for the Inner Member of the Tribunal, in the tangled and complicated situation of Vic’s continent at that time, there are countless forces who have the reason and ability to do this, even… Although Moon Realm It has been locked out of this world, but it is not impossible for the Void Kings to manipulate their remnant believers in this world to complete the assassination.

But no matter who is the secret mastermind in the second seat of the assassination trial seat, if the other party hopes to stir up the chaos of the entire Vic continent, it can be said that his purpose is completely achieved.

Just like when the Jackdaw ran away, the second seat’s death once again broke the balance. The four who couldn’t trust each other tear The Last Watcher apart again.

In other words, The Last Watcher is completely split.

“Lion Heart” Byron supported the most powerful Kos Empire at the time according to his previous plan. “Shadow” Kos disappeared after disbanding Black Sword, and “Discipline” horse Cass sealed himself in The dark room returned to the Holy Spirit Church a year later, and the windcaller “Jay” was the royal family who supported the Kingdom of Storms to stabilize the situation.

William covered his face involuntarily when he heard this.

Isn’t this the worst choice?

From the perspective of William, an outsider, with magic, a technology that can go far beyond the current social landscape, after losing the shadow of the Moon Realm threat, the Vic continent will undoubtedly be sooner or later. A unified country will be established, and this is also the only way for the further popularization of magic.

In this process, The Last Watcher, who has absolute power at first, can choose to disband directly and not participate, or it can serve as an arbiter to supervise the war not to develop in a runaway direction, or even You can personally choose to support a reliable party to quickly complete the unification process and reduce unnecessary casualties.

But whatever you choose to do, you must be decisive.

Because the worst choice is hesitation, wanting to take care of everything, and eventually bringing the entire team into a mess, leading to the final struggle. This not only failed to solve the problem faster, but instead increased the intensity of the conflict by several levels.

And that’s exactly what they chose.

Although judging from the final results, The Last Watcher is indeed the last to end. But not only did they not have the effect of making a final decision, but instead they added weight to the forces of several parties, making them all feel that their “destiny is here”, which made the situation in the continent even more fueled.

At this point, the entire continent has entered the era of kings for more than two hundred years. And what happened after that, including the finale of the last four members of the Council of Five, and the events of the Terra expedition, Blake, who lost consciousness because of his promotion to ceremony, didn’t know too much.

“The last time I regained consciousness in the Moon Realm was after the conquest of Terra. At that time I felt the opening of thirteen Moon Realm rifts at the same time, extending the power of the thirteen Void Kings to the continent. On. I originally thought that Moon Realm was about to invade the world, so I sent my own demon into the world, hoping to find the former members of the tribunal to remind them to prepare. However, in the end, I only found it in Ava. Remedios…”

“She told me that there is someone who has a temperament similar to yours, but is definitely not your presence on the continent. He unified the entire Vic Continent, now a fleet is being assembled to cross the Broken Sea, and to bring the entire Awa Continent under the rule of the new empire.”

William walked on the market in Thorn City, silently recalling with Blake’s final description.

Blake’s memories after his promotion to Father of Crows are so shattered that his description of this history is a bit choppy.

Blake paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued:

“After the storm, my consciousness was completely blurred, and I only remember that in the end. Seeing that Remedios shot Terra Riel’s head with a ‘Liu Liyue’ arrow from the warship, it stands to reason that it is impossible for that person to return to the Empire alive.”

As William As previously tested, the damage done by spells or whatever, can’t quite equate to in-game stats. Just like William in the game, with his own stacking high enough dodge and resistance, for the damage caused by characters with too low level, even if he is standing and let others cut, he may not be able to shed blood for several hours. .

But if William himself gave up all resistance now, did not do any evasion, canceled all permanent defensive spells, took off all equipment, stretched out his neck and let a recruit cut it with an iron sword, then There is no doubt that he will die.

When I was hit by Coles’ “big cover”, I also put on the [Lan Yao Ring] specially designed to deal with lightning damage.

Therefore, if that Terra Riel was really hit by a “Liu Liyue” arrow on his head as described by Blake, then there should be no reason for him to be as historically recorded. That’s how to live until the end of your life.

It’s very problematic…the so-called founding emperor who claimed to be his own reincarnation.

Walking through the bazaar and around a few more streets, William came to a location in the lower part of Thorn City.

The so-called lower city is actually a slum.

Several scrawny children were curling up in the corner weaving rudimentary beggar crowns. When they saw William approaching, they couldn’t help but glance at him.

Because he knew that he was going to a slum, in order not to attract attention, William specially chose a set of the most rudimentary costumes from the treasure hall, and its name was [Poverty Costume]. Poor quality fabrics and rough workmanship, William thought he could fit into the surrounding environment perfectly, but when he really came over, he found that he was still too naive.

Walking into a slum in this dress is like walking into a pub in a tuxedo.

Among the few children, a particularly thin child hesitated for a while, put the crown of the semifinished product in his hand on his head, and then walked in front of William with a vain step like stepping on cotton. , stretched out his hand to him.

William doesn’t have a wallet, and in his storage space there are only a lot of gold coins of a thousand-year-old style. So he hesitated, put his hand into the inner lining of the clothes, took out a small piece of balano biscuit from the storage space and put it in the child’s hand, pretending to be digging something.

The other party looked at the white triangle-shaped food in his hand and blinked in confusion.

“Eat it now.”

William said in a soft but commanding tone.

A child in a slum exchanged money for a piece of balano that was specially provided by the nobles, or simply ate it to fill his stomach, which is safer and safer, without going into details.

The other party, nodded, swallowed the cookie in one bite, and immediately stared wide-eyed with a surprised expression on his face.

“This…this is…”

Probably feeling the impact on the taste buds that they have never had before, the child said inarticulately.

William didn’t say much about it, just turned around and picked up a kid trying to steal something from his waist, then smiled and looked the head at him.

William then let go of his hand and watched the children—including the one who begged from him before, disappeared without a trace.

“Sad…”

William sighed slightly.

The magic in this world can slash mountains, boil rivers and lakes, and cause storms, but the overwhelming majority of people in this world still need to dig food in the ground to eat.

This world is not supposed to be like this.

William didn’t try to catch up with the children, nor did he plan to do any alms here, and he didn’t even plan to go back and tell Vincent later that he wanted him to improve the situation in the lower town of Thorn City.

Doing this might save a few people, a few streets, or even the entire poor of Thorn City, but that’s about it.

Unless the more fundamental problems are solved, the relief efforts at the moment will only be a drop in the ocean.

In order not to attract attention, William this time used a shadow spell to hide his figure, and then jumped into the sewer of Thorn City from a hidden position.

After a few turns along the sewage treatment network, he finally arrived at the destination of the trip.

Unlocking the shadow’s hiding, he knocked on a secret door at the end of the passage.

The observation hole on the secret door lit up slightly, and the door opened immediately after seeing that it was William who came.

The one who opened the door was Nezmaar.

“Saint…Lord Kane.”

He didn’t stop his mouth at Variance.

William did not greet her, but asked straight to the point:

“How is the result now? Thorn City Magic Network 1.0 Project.”
