Chapter 123 The future predictions of time magic may not be so accurate.
Early morning, Chengxia Town Square.
This is a huge square near the royal capital. It is usually used to hold various festivals or to announce important events.
At this moment, the square was full of people. The atmosphere in the entire square was quiet, and everyone's eyes were directed towards the high platform.
Takaki and Rebecca were also standing in the crowd.
Rebecca put her hands together on her chest, making a prayer gesture, with a bit of worry on her cheeks.
Takaki looked calmly at the high platform in the distance, where eight leaders of the Magic Knights were standing. In the middle, stood a figure that attracted all the attention.
She has short blond hair and wears a red robe. The pure white cloak underneath is inlaid with golden chains and several badges of the highest honor of the Clover Kingdom.
Magic Emperor Julius!
Yamu looked towards this figure, his eyes slightly dark.
This was the first time he really saw Julius, but he didn't expect it to be on such an occasion.
The royal capital was attacked, and such a big thing happened. As the Magic Emperor and the leaders of the great magic knights who protect the royal capital, they naturally have to give an explanation and calm the panic of the people.
This is also the reason why people from various towns around the royal capital gather here.
Takaki glanced at the mood changes of everyone in the square and smiled softly.
The moment the leaders of the Magic Knights and the Magic Emperor Julius appeared in front of everyone, the panic of being attacked had already subsided a lot.
"Great, such a terrible thing happened, and the Magic Knights and the Magic Emperor are fine."
"I was a little worried at first."
"Those who attacked the Royal Capital must have launched their sneak attacks while the members of the Magic Knights were not in the Royal Capital."
"…………"
There were constant whispers among the surrounding crowd, and most of them looked relieved.
Rebecca also relaxed slightly: "As expected, the leaders of the Magic Knights are all fine."
"Don't worry, these captains will not be defeated easily."
When Takaki heard Rebecca's words, he smiled softly and said calmly.
"Hey, there are only eight group leaders. Why didn't the leader of "The Lion King of Red Lotus" show up?"
Rebecca suddenly discovered something and whispered to Yamu.
"There must be other more important things."
Takaki glanced above and spoke softly and calmly.
The news that Fagrain was seriously injured and unconscious has obviously been blocked. After all, he is the leader of the strongest magician in the kingdom. If such news spreads, it will more easily cause panic among the people.
"There is an invasion in the royal capital. As the Magic Emperor, I have an unshirkable responsibility."
"This incident was an attack by the terrorist magician elements who were against the kingdom."
"…………"
A voice of apology and guilt was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone in the square through magic power.
Simply put.
It is to characterize the incident of the attack on the royal capital, which makes Takashi feel like he was listening to the report in his previous life.
It was nothing more than explaining to the people that all the magicians who attacked the royal capital had been repelled, and the kingdom would repair and compensate for the damage caused. As for the reason why Fagrain did not appear, he simply said one sentence and changed the subject. Takaki is not interested in what he said. These words may be true or false. They are just to appease the people. He knows much better than everyone else.
What concerned him were a few other things.
Yamu's eyes first fell on William, the leader of the "Golden Dawn". He looked at where the other person was standing calmly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Without releasing the magic power of the seal, Richter fought with the three captains. Even if he succeeded in leaving in the end, he would not be able to escape unscathed.
Takaki suspected that the William standing there now was probably disguised by Rayia using imitation magic.
So Yami's ability to sense Qi is indeed more inclined to combat. In addition, after this incident, Yami may have been thinking of ways to contact him.
Finally!
He is also the Magic Emperor Julius whom Takaki fears the most.
Yamu's eyes flickered, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that the future predictions of time magic may not be so accurate.
Ten minutes later.
The Magic Emperor and the leaders of the Magic Knights began to retreat one after another.
After the crowd in the square cheered, they also began to leave. With the Magic Emperor's personal explanation, the entire atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed than the previously dull atmosphere.
Zaki walked among the crowd and felt the change in the atmosphere, with a look of seriousness on his face.
He suddenly discovered that the identity of the Magic Emperor has far more cohesion than imagined. In a system with very serious class divisions, the "Magic Emperor" is a bit like the lubricant of the conflict between the nobles and the common people.
"The incarnation of the famous "Magic Emperor" can be separated from the royal power, which does not harm the interests of the royal family and nobles, but also gives the people hope. This ingenious system is really amazing."
"The first generation of Magic Emperor Lumière was not only powerful, but also had very high political skills."
Takaki thought silently in his heart.
Now he realizes more and more that simply overthrowing the Clover Kingdom and eliminating classes will not only be crude, but may also have certain counter-effects.
The so-called utopia established by White Night Demon Eye, Taoki feels more and more that it is a bit false and hollow.
He believes that in the history of the Clover Kingdom, there must be people who want to change all this, but from the current perspective, they have obviously failed.
What does the Magic Emperor represent?
In Takaki's view, it is "hope", but the ownership of this "hope" is actually still in the hands of the royal family and nobles.
If you really want to fear those nobles and royal families who are superior and treat common people and subordinates as pigs and dirty bugs, in addition to strong strength, you also need to light a fire.
"Another fire named "Hope"."
Takaki stared at the crowds leaving the square and muttered to himself.
Thought of here.
Takaki shook his head again. What he pursued was freedom and the safety of his family and friends around him. It was better to let others do such troublesome things.
However, Taoki doesn't mind hanging a Sword of Damocles above the heads of these royal families and nobles!
"What are you thinking about?"
Rebecca followed Takaki with a curious expression on her face, looking at Takaki who was thinking.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little pity. Such a big thing happened, I thought the king would show up."
Takaki shook his head, with a bit of disappointment on his face, and shrugged.
"Shh, I heard that the relationship between the king and the Magic Emperor is not very good. It is rare for the two of them to appear at the same time."
When Rebecca heard what Tasaki said, she quickly lowered her voice, quickly glanced around, then spoke in a low voice with a bit of gossip.
"So that's it."
Takaki looked surprised, then smiled and said:
"Such a major event has nothing to do with us. Since the Magic Emperor said that there will be no more attacks in the future, the opening of the tavern can be advanced."
Rebecca's face showed joy: "In this case, that would be great."
"So, go back and prepare."
Takaki stretched his waist and spoke in a relaxed tone.
When Rebecca saw Tagi with a smile on his face, hesitation flashed in his eyes, as if he had something on his mind.
Zhu Mu was walking in the front, and Rebecca was one step behind, looking at Zhu Mu's back with a look that was hesitant to speak.
