After confirming that Hestein had lost his magical power, Ella looked at Jaber with disbelief, but Jaber just nodded solemnly.
"You said before that it was Semitic magic that teleported the fleet here? If they can do this, it means that they can teleport their troops to any place in the Seven Hills Empire at any time, including near the capital.
.In this way, the Qiqiu Empire will be defenseless. But in fact, they have never done this."
"Of course, their magic has certain restrictions. But I don't know what this restriction is. If we knew, we wouldn't have lost to the Semites more than two thousand years ago!"
"Then tell me why Semitic magic is so powerful?"
"Ah... the magic of the Semites!" Jabir let out a long sigh, "The magic of our Tepuis is 'human' magic, and the power of magic comes from our understanding of the world. But the Semites
Human magic is a 'miracle', a gift from the only true God they believe in. How can human power rival God's wisdom!"
"The magic of the Seven Hills Empire also comes from the blessing of God." Amy interrupted Jabir below. Although she had never seen the scene in the Eye of Hermes, through the conversation between Ella and Jabir
, she could still guess what happened. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the gaze from Ella above. Amy hurriedly covered her mouth again: "I won't interrupt again!"
Ella shook her head: "No, Amy, you know more about magic than I do. It's up to you to ask questions."
With Ella's permission, Amy pretended to be brave and continued to ask: "It is also a gift from God, why is the magic of Qiqiu Empire not as good as Tianfang Empire?"
Jabir turned his attention to Amy.
"The Empire of the Seven Hills... If the country you have repeatedly mentioned is of the same origin as the 'Republic of the Seven Hills' that I am familiar with, then its magic system should come from their polytheistic beliefs."
"Yes, there are many gods in the Qiqiu Empire, but there is only one in the Tianfang Empire. Why can't it be compared to the Tianfang Empire?"
"Where does your magic power come from and how do you get it?"
"Of course power comes from gods. Magic practitioners gain the favor of the gods by understanding the 'nature' of a certain god, and receive the power and protection from the gods."
"Then, how many people can exist at the same time who are protected by the same god?"
This question surprised Amy: "The number... can of course be endless, as long as there are enough people who understand the nature of God."
"A god who wants to distribute his power to endless people?"
"Then what's the problem? The power of gods is nearly infinite for mortals. In the face of infinite power, it doesn't matter whether there are one, two, ten thousand, or twenty thousand people who have been blessed by the gods.
different."
"Since you think so, let's learn about the Semitic magic system!" Jabir said loudly, "First of all, Semitic magic cannot be learned through practice, nor does it need to be learned through practice. They
The god will take the initiative to select suitable candidates among his believers to serve as God’s agents on earth! Others who study magic are considered blasphemous and will be executed at the stake!”
"Then there is quantity. Semitic magic is only divided into two levels: priests and apostles. In the same era, there were only twelve 'priests' and only four 'apostles'. That is to say, in the entire Semitic
In the magic system, only sixteen people can master magic. Their gods only give power to these sixteen people! There is a huge difference between your magicians and Semitic magicians in terms of the degree of attention they receive from the gods.
!The warrior you were so proud of just now will probably have a hard time fighting against a 'priest' level magician!"
"Wait a minute, you just said that there are only sixteen people?" Ella heard a clue and asked: "In other words,... there must be sixteen people?"
"That's natural. The Semitic god will definitely choose sixteen people, not one more, not one more - oh, no!"
Jaber's pupils suddenly dilated, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. His body trembled like a tree blown by the wind. After a while, he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
He lay on the ground trembling in pain, staring at the void with nothing, and murmured: "The apostle...the apostle is watching Antilia!"
Under Ella's surprised gaze, Jaber was on the ground muttering to himself as if crazy:
"Impossible...impossible! Two thousand years! I have accumulated two thousand years of knowledge! I will never be erased so easily!"
"Why! Why is this happening! No! Absolutely impossible! Even if I am just a spirit body, the apostle cannot get rid of me thousands of miles away! The power of the apostle is not that powerful!"
"The apostle suddenly became so powerful... It's like... it's like... could it be... is he... he... back?"
He suddenly became quiet. After a while, Jabir crawled on the ground with difficulty and grabbed Ella's ankle.
"He who solves the mystery...I don't have time...Although it is a thousand years early, if...if you are really the son of the prophecy, you will accept the two thousand years of our Tepui people's long-cherished wish and defeat the enemy.
Exile Christ from this world!”
Ella saw two lines of tears shed in his eyes.
"You must uncover the mystery of movement...and alchemy...you must decipher its secrets! In order to fight the power of the Antichrist, the knowledge of alchemy is absolutely necessary!"
Jabir lay weakly on the ground, and motioned with his hand for Ella to bring her head over. He used his rough fingers to draw an inverted pentagram on Ella's forehead, and then wrote three consecutive words on it.
"6". These symbols emitted a burst of black light, and then disappeared into Ella's skin and were invisible.
"This symbol can help you resist the low-level magic of the Tianfang Empire. But if you encounter an apostle-level enemy... you should take care of yourself."
"You want to defeat the Tianfang Empire, right... but your enemy is extremely powerful... Do you know, your real enemy... there are four betas in his title."
"May the truth be with you."
After saying this, Jabir's eyes closed. His body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into a wrinkled skin. Then the remaining skin also began to change rapidly.
Darkens, turns yellow, and eventually becomes charcoal black.
Ella carefully leaned forward, and before she could check what was going on, the weak airflow caused by her walking had already lifted up a piece of the black skin, exposing the white bones on the inside.
Ella collapsed to the ground all of a sudden: "Dead...dead?"
She couldn't believe the fact that a magician who had used necromancy to live for two thousand years was wiped out in an instant by the faceless "apostles" of the Tianfang Empire. If it hadn't been for "Hermo"
The "Eye of Sri Lanka" is still standing on the balcony, the alchemy books are still neatly stacked aside, and the crowbar with the pattern of ouroboros is still in Amy's hand. Ella will definitely doubt whether Jabir really existed.
.
The magic of Tepui was lost.
Amy saw Ella lying on the ground and wanted to run up to help her up, but before she could take a step, her legs softened and she fell to the ground like Ella. Seeing this, Ella smiled miserably: "What's wrong?
Amy, are you scared too?"
"Your Majesty... If what Jabir just said is true, doesn't it mean that there must be twelve people in the Tianfang Empire who are as powerful as Hestein? There are also four more powerful people than Hestein.
How much?”
"That's what it sounds like..."
"Then...if the Tianfang Empire really comes to attack our Qiqiu Empire, what will happen to the Qiqiu Empire?"
"The Orthodox Church of Abraham, which rules the Tianfang Empire, has huge internal differences and cannot work together. But if someone can bridge this gap, once the Qiqiu Empire and the Tianfang Empire conflict, the Qiqiu Empire will probably be destroyed, right?
"
After saying that, Ella laughed miserably again: "There are four betas in the title... This kind of thing is not even a code word. Why do I have to be an enemy of that kind of thing?"
Βασίλε??βασιλ?wνβασίλε?wνβασίλε?ουσιν (King of kings, ruler of all kings.)
"Your Majesty... we..." Amy hesitated, but after a moment of silence, she couldn't help shouting, "Your Majesty, why don't you give up the Qiqiu Empire! Anyway, your uncle has taken away your power.
, just let him be Basileus! There is no benefit at all in ruling such a weak country, and he will only be worried every day!"
Ella Cornelius Scipio's pupils began to gradually expand in the darkness.
"Amy!" Ella shouted angrily, and Amy was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head. But Amy lowered her head and waited for a long time, but Ella's next curse word never came.
"Amy, you said something wrong."
Ella Cornelius Scipio took a deep breath and said slowly:
"My body is filled with the blood of my ancestors, my grandfather, my lineage, my father... they are all people of the Seven Hills Empire. Remember, Amy, even if I am no longer Baselisa,
I am still a subject of the Qiqiu Empire! The people of the Qiqiu Empire are always brave, and their army can be famous in the world in any era!"
"Besides, Amy, you taught me that some things don't require swords and magic."
…
…
At the same time, in Constantiniya, the capital of the Seven Hills Empire, Gregory's voice sounded in a dark place:
"A seasoned warrior... whose power has been restricted by me; an unpleasant undead soul... who has been sent to the place where I went; and a young warrior... who has just come into contact with the 'Elven Level'"
' on the edge of the island, there is no storm. What power can protect Ella Cornelius Scipio on Antilia? It's done. Let this man be born a thousand years ahead of schedule.
The prophesied child of the year will die in the hands of her own army. And the Qiqiu Empire will... perish after this."
