Chapter 832 Surrender(1/2)
"Angelina...a name I can never forget."
An, the high-level ant tribe, should be said to be the will of the Ant-Queen descending on it, smiled at Victor: "Your Highness Randall, you are the first alchemy tower to call 'Angelina' in so many years.
Lord, I sincerely thank you for not forgetting this name."
Victor's eyes flickered.
Have some understanding of the human kingdom.”
The Ant Queen tilted her head, raised her left hand and pointed at her forehead, and said: "After I returned to the ant colony, I spent some time sorting out the memories of the queens... Your Highness should know that the biological template of the ant colony is based on Dusk.
The Gross Zerg of the Era, they devour the brains of their prey and can absorb the information fragments of their prey. As an alchemy tower, the ant colony also has a function similar to memory uploading."
During the ant disaster in Centaur Hills, the lords discovered that Ant-Man can skillfully use the tools and weapons of the victims by eating human corpses. What the Ant-Man Queen revealed is consistent with objective facts, including the memory upload function of alchemical humans in Alchemy Tower No. 7.
Also verified.
"Unfortunately, while I was trapped, there was a small conflict between the ant colony and the human kingdom." Queen Ant-Man bowed her head gracefully and made an apologetic gesture.
Although Queen Ant-Man vaguely expressed her attitude towards the human kingdom, Victor was not impressed by her words and body language, and said with a half-smile: "Thousands of people were killed in the ant disaster more than ten years ago.
, the total number of casualties exceeded 10,000, you said it was a small conflict?"
"Otherwise?" Ant-Man Queen shook her head and said: "That conflict originated from the normal replacement of old and new ant colonies, and was just the collective foraging behavior of the old worker ants. If the ant colony dispatched soldier ants, what do you think would happen?"
He paused and continued: "Of course, even if the worker ants are foraging for food, it is definitely not my wish for the conflict between the ant colony and the human kingdom to break out."
When Queen Ant-Man and Victor first came into contact, the first topic they talked about was their political stances.
Isn't this what it should be?
Queen Ant-Man is suspected to be the ancient mage Angelina, the master of the alchemy tower of the Alchemy Empire; Victor is also the master of the alchemy tower of the Alchemy Empire. Judging from this relationship, both parties actually belong to the same camp of the Alchemy Empire.
However, Victor acquiesces that Ant-Man Queen is his number one enemy. Due to the characteristics of the Alchemy Tower absorbing each other and constantly improving, and being the master of the Alchemy Tower, Ant-Man Queen should also regard Victor as her mortal enemy.
There is a political premise for the alchemy tower masters to be competitors, that is, the alchemy empire has perished, and the legal order of the empire has been completely lost. The remaining alchemy tower masters are like warlords and bandits working in their own way. On the other hand, if the alchemy empire has not perished, then the alchemy empire will not die.
Tower owners are still part of the empire and of course cannot attack each other.
There are also connections between the Alchemy Towers. Since Alchemy Tower No. 7 could not contact its superiors, Victor confirmed that the Alchemy Empire had perished. According to the records of the Alchemists of the Secret Order, the Queen Ant Alchemy Tower was built privately by the Secret Order behind the Empire's back.
The alchemy tower has a very special form of existence, so it is reasonable that it cannot be connected with the traditional alchemy tower.
In other words, Queen Ant-Man, the tower owner, is actually a "black man". She doesn't know that the Alchemy Empire has died? How is this possible? What if she is Angelina, the female mage of the Secret Order, who participated in the construction of Queen Ant-Man Alchemy?
Tower, based on the timeline analysis, he should have experienced the turmoil at the end of the empire... unless it was because of the Lord of Glory!
Victor's thoughts were racing, and he asked with a deep look: "Did you plan the incident in the Azorta Empire more than 1,500 years ago? Did you use those human priests?"
Queen Ant-Man did not answer Victor's question directly, but turned her attention to the two dragon maids Dilly and Fulgeri, and said with a smile: "Issox's alchemy test was successful... I really don't know where he found it.
It was only through the blood of ancient dragons that these amazing new alchemical units were created."
Issox is the designer of the Alchemy Tower in the Mist Mountains and a genius alchemist of the Secret Order. He and Master Angelina belong to the same era. Not only did they have a relationship, they also participated in the construction of the Queen Ant Alchemy Tower.
Design and manufacture.
Isox believes that the laws of the world tend to be strict and perfect, which will lead to serious flaws in inherent alchemy units. For example, Alchemy Tower No. 7 has the production function of dragon warriors, but Victor cannot order the king to produce dragon warriors because now
The laws of the world do not allow dragon warriors to transform into dragon beasts that are more than ten meters long. In fact, at the end of the era of the Chosen Ones, wizards can no longer mobilize the power of the elemental sea, and their spellcasting abilities have been greatly weakened. The alchemy tower's
Of course, the rules of creation in the void are also affected by the origin of the world, and many alchemical units based on ancient biological templates cannot be created now.
In this temple battle, Alchemy Tower No. 7 absorbed a complete Alchemy Tower rune crystal, adding 3 new types of alchemy units. Victor was not interested in checking the relevant information carefully. If those were powerful high-level alchemy units,
Alchemy Tower No. 7 will definitely not be able to produce; if it is a mid- or low-level alchemy unit, their price/performance ratio may not be as good as the alchemy militia.
The evolution trend of the world's laws is always from loose to strict, from single to diverse. Assuming that the Alchemy Tower can continuously create alchemical units that are not bound by the world's laws, then other natural life will have no way to survive, which will inevitably lead to a rich and colorful world.
Toward the end.
Therefore, the solidified alchemy unit template will eventually be eliminated, and the traditional alchemist will inevitably decline.
Issox is not the only alchemist in the Alchemy Empire to have such a sense of crisis. There are three different voices within the Empire's Supreme Council, the die-hards who advocate maintaining the dominance of alchemists through innovation in alchemical technology, that is, the Secret Order;
There are also the retro school who advocate the re-study of the long-since eliminated alchemy puppet technique and aim to improve the personal strength of elementalists and mages; and the god-creation school who advocate the plan of seance.
In the end, the transformation proposal of the God-making Sect was supported by the Divine Knights of the Supreme Council. The technological innovation of the Secret Order Alchemists required too many resources. They squeezed and exploited the empire's large and small city-states, and also coveted the ancient gods collected by the Elf Empire.
The blood of the two empires may trigger a full-scale war between the two empires. In addition, the new alchemy unit has natural life attributes, and there is a risk of losing control. The die-hard alchemist has become a street rat that everyone wants to beat. Forced by both internal and external forces
Due to pressure, die-hard alchemists and mages formed a secret order and secretly conducted various taboo experiments.
For the Alchemy Empire, the Secret Order, which has gone all the way to the dark side, is an illegal organization that does all kinds of sinful things. In order to accumulate resources, they not only extort money from major city-states, but also secretly sell slaves, regardless of humans, barbarians or elves.
There are victims.
Now, Victor is the master of the alchemy tower of the Secret Order, and Angelina is also the master of the alchemy tower of the Secret Order. They are either criminals of the Alchemy Empire, or they are both legal tower masters of the empire, and no one can blame them.
other side.
According to the social system of the Alchemy Empire, Angelina's status is higher than Victor. She was originally a formal member of the Mage Council and a mage follower recognized by the alchemist Maximo. The master of the alchemy tower is generally an ordinary descendant of the mage.
He holds a certain position of power, which is far inferior to full-time mages and alchemists, and even inferior to elementalists and mage apprentices.
However, if Victor considers himself to be the orthodoxy of reviving the Alchemy Empire, it would be normal for Angelina to ask him for a clear and legal identity. After all, the Queen Ant Alchemy Tower is an alien species in the Alchemy Tower and is outside the empire's military order.
He also attacked the alchemical creatures created by Victor.
The ghost of the mage from more than 20,000 years ago has never forgotten the Alchemy Empire. Victor cannot understand Angelina's feelings for the great empire, and there is no obstacle in this regard. He bluntly said: "The Alchemy Empire has died, the law has failed, and the order has collapsed.
, what’s the point of you telling me this?”
"Death? The Supreme Council's plan to seize the gods is successful. How can the empire be considered dead?" Queen Ant-Man suddenly raised her voice and said in a sharp voice.
Alexita returned to Alchemy Tower No. 7, and the dragon maids Dilly and Fulgeri had no reaction. Here, Queen Ant-Man's voice was slightly louder, so they stopped.
"You bastard, how dare you roar at the king!"
Daphtilil stared at the high-level Ant-Man opposite her with fearful eyes, which of course had no effect.
Duff Grell approached Victor and said in a sweet voice eager to try: "Your Majesty, this Ant-Man is very weak. It dares to challenge you. Let me kill it?"
"Don't be ridiculous." Victor pushed away Fulgre, who was flattering him, and said to Queen Ant-Man: "You know the Lord of Radiance, so you think the Alchemy Empire has not perished. Didn't the priests more than 1,500 years ago tell you about the human kingdom?
situation?"
"Thinking, loyal, and powerful, they are truly perfect alchemical creatures... Our Secret Order's proposition is correct." Queen Ant-Man looked at the two dragon maids with admiring eyes, made a comment, and then continued
Said: "Of course, the god-making plan is not bad... I did meet those priests of the Lord of Glory, but the people who told me the current situation of the human country were not them, but the mage apprentices who were hunted down by them."
"A golden elementalist led the clergy of the Lord of Radiance to hunt down the mage apprentice?" Queen Ant-Man said angrily: "I learned from the mage apprentice that Pope Enoch used the power of trance to massacre and persecute other mages.
, I concluded that it was a despicable act of rebellion. You have to know that the Imperial Mage Association is the main promoter of the divine seance plan, and the power of the Lord of Radiance should have been subject to the dispatch of mages and alchemists. If it were not for Pope Enoch's
Betrayal, with the power of the Lord of Radiance, how could humans be driven out of their homes by stupid orcs!" Ant-Man Queen said angrily.
More than 1,500 years ago, the Pantheon led by the great wizard Claire and the Klein siblings was annihilated by the Church of Radiance. The paladins of the Trigoval family tracked a Pantheon wizard who had stolen the sacred artifacts of Arreat to the Azorta Mountains.
They interacted with the Assyrian Empire and the Ant-Man Queen.
Queen Ant-Man learned about the Church of Radiance from the Pantheon wizard, but that wizard probably didn't understand the history of the Chosen Era.
If one does not consider the blood sacrifice war between the chosen wizards, Angelina's conclusion from the position of the Alchemy Empire Mage Association that the first pope Enoch was a despicable traitor is not a wrong conclusion.
The ancient alchemists and mages did not create the Lord of Radiance just for the priests to ride on their heads and dominate them. Although the Lord of Radiance is the ultimate creation of the alchemy empire, it still has to serve the alchemists and mages. And the first generation Pope Yi
When Nok won the victory, he backhandedly destroyed the Council of Chosen Ones who had made peace with the Church of Radiance, leaving no buffer time. At that time, the number of human believers was small, and the Lord of Radiance was also weak.
Without the help of wizards, although Enoch awakened the Lord of Radiance, he still laid the foundation for the development of the human kingdom.
Later, in the face of the attack of the orc group, the human army retreated steadily, the city-state fell, the population dropped sharply, the most fertile northern wilderness was lost, and they retreated to the barren south where the orcs were not interested. It is only now that they have recovered.
The Church of Radiance holds the ultimate creation of the Alchemy Empire, and it actually specializes in persecuting the wizard class and cannot defeat the stupid orcs. From the perspective of Master Angelina, this is simply an unacceptable shame. The first Pope Enoch and the Church of Radiance
The clergy are traitors to the empire.
Victor thought for a second, shook his head and said: "I don't know the history of the Alchemy Empire, but I think that an important condition for the Supreme Council to decide to launch the deity project is the large population of the empire. The greater the number of believers, the better the Lord of Glory will be.
The stronger the power, if the number of believers is only one-tenth of the empire's population, can the Lord of Radiance be able to fight against the orc army with the power of the Lord of Glory? Will the Supreme Council still consider the plan to seize gods? "
"One-tenth of the empire's population?" Queen Ant-Man had a confused expression on her face.
"Maybe less." Victor nodded and continued: "When Enoch awakened the Lord of Glory, a blood sacrifice war broke out in the wizard city-state of the human country. The two major wizard camps, the Pantheon and the Mages Council, attacked each other and massacred the city.
Blood sacrifices occurred from time to time, and the population size shrank more than ten times."
Queen Ant-Man asked: "The Blood Sacrifice War... when did it happen?"
Victor raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "You don't understand the history of the human kingdom, and I don't understand the history of the Alchemy Empire. We can exchange information. You answer a question for me, and I will answer a question for you."
Queen Ant-Man smiled and said: "I refuse, because you are also a traitor to the empire."
Directly labeled by Angelina as a traitor to the empire, Victor said funnyly: "Am I a rebel? I'm afraid you haven't accepted the fact that the Alchemy Empire has perished."
"The empire is destroyed? Then who are you? Who am I? Who is the Lord of Radiance?" Queen Ant-Man looked at Victor coldly, walked up to him step by step, and said: "You are here to kill me.
Yes, the empire explicitly prohibits alchemy tower masters from killing each other. If you want to kill me, it is treason from the empire. Since you want to kill me, why should I believe your words? I am right in front of you, come on, come and kill me!
"
A female Ant-Man with a silver-white carapace and four legs thrust her chest out and bumped into Victor, looking like she was seeking death. Is there anything more ridiculous than this?
His Highness Randall had never met a "woman" who was mean to him. Fortunately, the dragon maid Fulgeri punched the high-level Ant-Man female until she knelt on the ground.
To be continued...
