Chapter 63 Persuading Lucas
Daliang immediately saluted Lucas after seeing him: "Hello, dear mentor, I hope everything in the fog area will satisfy you."
Lucas retracted his eyes and turned around, glowing a blue light from his pupils. When he saw Daliang, he said in a joyful tone: "My disciple, you once again gave me a great surprise. I didn't expect that the Sigh City Branch would start the study of witchcraft so soon, and in such a stable environment.
The funds and supplies you have are beyond my imagination.
The sorrowful monarch believed that he had eliminated the Sigh City Branch, but the elders of our Sigh City Branch were in charge of his church and gave the chapter the best cover.
Moreover, all the funds used for research are earned by you, and you do not need to receive funding and there is less chance of exposure.
If other branches can come to you to study, I think the Wizards Guild will be less troublesome. Wizards can concentrate on studying witchcraft instead of spending most of their experiences against the Immortal Church.”
From Lucas's words, it can be seen that one of his purest wizards believed that wizards should concentrate on studying witchcraft and not waste their thoughts on the struggle of the Immortal Church.
Being able to hide in an unknown place and devote yourself to studying witchcraft is probably Lucas' greatest wish.
Daliang asked Lucas to sit down and said, "Thank you for your praise from the mentor. As the elder of the Sigh City Branch, everything I should do.
I heard something happens. It seems that the Wizards Guild has formed an alliance in Yunzhong City and intends to use war to seize a piece of land belonging to the Wizards from the Dead Monarchs."
Speaking of the upcoming war, Lucas couldn't help but sigh: "City in the Cloud has always secretly supported the Wizards' Guild's selfishness. They want to use the Wizards to fight the Immortal Church. In fact, under their influence, the Wizards' Guild has been doing this.
This time they took advantage of the opportunity that the Wizard Guild was severely hit by the Imperial Church and persuaded most of the Wizards to launch a war.
This is definitely a disaster for the Wizard Guild, and countless promising wizards will die in this war.
I've been trying to stop this war.
Today I saw the Sigh City Branch, which was the Wizards Guild I imagined to focus on studying wizards. If other branches knew that we could study wizards without fighting the Imperial Church, maybe we could convince them to give up the war.
The Sigh City Branch is one of the seven major branches of the Wizards Guild. As the elder of the Sigh City Branch, you have a very strong voice in the Wizards Guild. You should go back to me and always go to lobby for those wizards who are preparing for war."
Persuading the Wizard Guild not to fight?
If I don’t fight, who will I sell the war materials I produce? My factories have begun to be built, and various follow-up development plans are ready, just waiting for you to start fighting.
Not only did it be fought, but it also had to be fought. The war materials produced in the fog area were sold not only to the Vatican, but also to the Wizards Guild.
Daliang replied: "Dear mentor, have you ever thought that we can really stop this war?"
Lucas was stunned when he heard Daliang's words, but realized something: "What you mean is that this war can no longer be stopped."
Daliang said: "Teacher, as a bystander, I can see many things you don't know.
The wizards have accumulated enough hatred in the open and secret struggles with the Imperial Church. Just like the wizards of the City of Sighs, they have actually regarded the Imperial Church as a mortal enemy who is unhappy. If I want to open up a battlefield in the Imperial Church, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for this war. Death is not a terrible thing for the undead.
The Wizards Guild and the Vatican of the Unrestrained have actually reached the edge of war. Frank is just a trigger point. Even without Frank, the war will still break out.
And I also think that wizards must have their own land.”
Daliang's words made Lucas very confused. Through what he saw and heard in the Manor of Destiny, he felt that his disciple seemed to have the same philosophy as himself and tried his best to avoid conflicts with the Immortal Church.
"Do you also think that only war can solve the problems facing the Wizards Guild now?"
"Yes," Daliang nodded, "The teacher should know that the Vatican called us exiles who betrayed the God of Death because the research we insisted on had already launched an impact on the Vatican in faith. Use witchcraft to pursue higher powers, become God, and be equal to the God of Death, and God is real. If we succeed, the God of Death will no longer be supreme. How can the Vatican maintain their rule?
Therefore, no matter whether we are determined to overthrow the Vatican, from the moment the thought of becoming a god sprouts in our minds, we are enemies that the Vatican has to eliminate. Even if we hide deeply, as long as this idea is there, the Vatican will turn over the entire Kingdom of Death to find us.
This war is not our decision to fight or not, but survival issues that make us have to fight.”
Lucas fell into deep thought. The history of the development of the Wizards Guild is the history of constant struggle with the Vatican. He wanted other branches to learn the current model of the Sigh City Branch, which was indeed a bit taken for granted. As long as the Wizards Guild exists, the Vatican will definitely be noticed by the Vatican. At that time, the struggle was just a different form.
"Does it have to be fought?"
Daliang advised: "Teacher, since we cannot stop it, we should do our best to win the Wizards Guild. If the Wizards Guild can return to your leadership, it will surely gather the strength of all our wizards, and our chances of winning and obtaining the land will increase greatly.
And if you continue to hesitate, some wizards, including me, will definitely use your will as their will and refuse to participate in this war. The power of the Wizard Guild will be greatly reduced, and the losses will only be even heavier in the war against the Immortal Church and will eventually fail."
The war is on the string and will not stop because of anyone. Since it cannot be stopped, as the president of the Wizard Guild, he cannot give up the entire guild because of personal disagreement.
Lucas knew that he still had a great influence in the guild. As long as he was still away from war, there would definitely be many wizards following him, and the wizard guild could not concentrate all its power.
This is a war that determines the future and destiny of the Wizards Guild. If my persistence causes the failure of the wizards, no matter whether my thoughts are right or wrong, I am a sinner of the Wizards Guild.
After thinking through, Lucas said to Daliang: "It seems that my decision to come to Sigh City is very correct. The endless quarrels with the wizards of the Association have covered my eyes. Since I cannot stop the war, I must do my best to make the guild win and reduce losses.
