Before he even asked a question, he received a piece of information. Lu Xiao's face didn't reveal any clues.
Since the other party had given himself the title of a great mage, Lu Xiao simply followed his words.
"Soldier, I have just come out of the mountains after many years of seclusion. Who are you fighting and why are you fighting?"
Before the respectful Purple Eagle soldier could reply, the soldier wearing a white robe next to him choked first: "blasphemer, at your age you actually said that you have been in seclusion for many years. You have indeed stolen the secrets of God.
Will it cost you your own life?"
"Shut up! The evil god's lackey!"
Before Lu Xiao could reply, the Purple Eagle soldier first shouted angrily: "Look what your bullshit gods have done! The villages that were burned down on the border were all your fault!"
"Fart! It's impossible for the benevolent God of the Earth to do such a thing! It was you who burned down all the villages on the border between the two countries in order to provoke a war! Shameful blasphemers!"
"you……"
"stop!"
Lu Xiao let go of his momentum, and the two soldiers, who were so noisy that their faces were red and their ears were red, were all shocked at the same time. The two soldiers behind who had their heads bruised and bleeding also stopped and looked at Lu Xiao in horror.
"God...divine power?"
The white-robed soldier who claimed to believe in the God of the Earth opened his mouth in surprise, with a look of fear on his face: "You...you damn blasphemers, you actually dare to steal the power of the gods!"
"I'll say it again."
Lu Xiao looked at the white-robed soldier indifferently: "Shut up, otherwise, I will shut you up forever."
"Alas!"
Standing in front of Tamamo a little further away with Yongzhen, he combed his tail in boredom: "Is it necessary to waste time with these people? It will definitely be more efficient if I ask."
Yongzhen shook his head: "Some things are best asked in a sober state. Charm is not omnipotent."
Ignoring the frightened white-robed soldier for the moment, Lu Xiao turned his attention to the Purple Eagle soldier.
"You answer my question."
The Purple Eagle soldier tensed up and subconsciously answered loudly: "Yes!"
"Our Free Federation is at war with the evil Cainite Theocracy. The reason is that the evil god believed in by the Theocracy slaughtered the villages on the border between the two countries!"
‘The Free Federation and the Cainite Theocracy…this Cain shouldn’t be the one I remember, right? Otherwise, he really is an evil god.’
In Lu Xiao's memory, Cain was the first murderer described in the Bible.
However, under different worldviews, the same name should not represent the same person. Most of them are just coincidental name repetitions, just like there are countless Toms and Jerrys in Europe and the United States.
As for the Free Federation mentioned by the Purple Eagle soldier, judging from his contempt for God, he probably does not believe in any gods.
The trigger for the war between the two sides was the large number of village ruins discovered by Lu Xiao and Yongzhen during their previous inspection of the grassland.
All the villages on the border between the two countries were burned down indiscriminately, and both sides accused the other side of doing it. In the context of the conflict of views, the envoys of the two countries communicated repeatedly to no avail, which ultimately triggered this war.
Judging from the current situation, although both sides have launched real fire, the scale of the battle is not too large and is limited to this border prairie.
"Soldier, since you recognized the space teleportation I used, does it mean that this kind of spell is very common in the Free Federation?"
"No, that's not the case."
After Lu Xiao withdrew his pressure, the Free Federation soldiers relaxed a lot. He subconsciously regarded Lu Xiao as an ancient resident of the Free Federation.
This kind of situation is not uncommon within the Free Federation. From time to time, old antiques will end their retreat in the mountains and walk out of the house only to find that their familiar hometown has become very strange.
The residents of the Free Federation are used to this.
"Space spells are very difficult to learn. You need to reach at least the level of a magister to master them proficiently."
"You can activate space teleportation without even preparing to cast a spell. Only a great mage can do it."
Judging from the soldier's words, the Free Federation has a very strong magical atmosphere, and even ordinary soldiers at the lower level can talk about some basic magic.
The soldiers of the Cain Theocracy on the other side were very uncooperative. No matter how threatened Lu Xiao was, he always acted like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and seemed to be ready to "die heroically".
Most of the information can be obtained through the soldiers of the Free Federation. Lu Xiao does not intend to mediate the war between the two sides, so there is no need to understand the situation from both sides to find out the truth about the war.
Let Tamamoae take action to erase the memories of the four people, and before the rain stopped, the two groups sent the soldiers back to their respective military camps intact.
After reuniting, they had some discussions.
Consus: "The Cain Theocracy seems to have a very serious prejudice against those who use magic rather than divine magic. I suggest that you first go to the Free Federation, which has a relatively open atmosphere, to understand the situation."
"This kind of world where magicians exist usually has a magician association. As long as you find a way to sneak into the association library and search, you should be able to understand most of the common sense in this world."
"Including the Theocracy soldier mentioned the God of the Earth and other gods."
“Is there a world where God exists?”
Lu Xiao looked up at the sky and said thoughtfully: "I wonder if the gods will collectively explode when they learn that monks like us from outside have invaded their territory."
…
According to the information extracted from the Free Federation soldiers, if you want to reach the core area of the Free Federation, you need to go all the way east.
After leaving the prairie, you will pass through a mountainous area with complex terrain. Purple Eagle City, the capital of the Free Federation, is located in the southeast of the continuous mountains, on the top of a large mountain called Elfling Peak.
Aletheia pondered and said: "A mountain city? This is quite rare."
Water is the source of life, and most human settlements are built near water sources.
Mountain cities are not unheard of, but they are indeed relatively rare. They are usually built near waterfalls and mountain pools.
During the flight over the mountains, Lu Xiao and others saw many large irregular pits in the continuous mountains.
These large craters do not look like they were dug manually, but rather like the marks left by meteorites, but no meteorite remains were found nearby.
Scattered villages and small towns are scattered throughout the mountains. The towns of the Free Federation seem to be built on the mountains, and there are very few citizens living near the grasslands.
After observation, the Free Federation, known as the Land of Mages, uses machines made by alchemy to fetch water from the mountains and transports it to towns on the mountains through special pipelines.
It is said that this troublesome method was adopted because of the persecution of spell casters by various countries in the early years, and the insecure mages were accustomed to living in the mountains.
The Free Federation founded by the Master continued this custom, preferring to fetch water from the mountains and transport it up the mountains rather than live at the bottom of the mountains, gradually forming the unique urban culture of the Free Federation.
Purple Eagle City, the capital of the Free Federation, is also known as the City of Thousand Towers. There are a large number of mage towers of different heights standing in the city.
In fact, the number of mage towers in Purple Eagle City is far more than a thousand, and they have even begun to radiate to the relatively short hills around Elfling Peak.
"Oh ho~ It's quite spectacular."
Tamamo Mae stood on the top of one of the peaks and looked at Purple Eagle City in the distance. Master towers of different heights were scattered all over the spiritual peaks, forming a rather magnificent urban landscape.
"Let's go."
Lu Xiao patted Tamamo Mae's head: "Find a way to enter the city first. According to the soldier, the entire city of Purple Eagle City is covered with a magic barrier. Anyone who passes through the barrier will be noticed."
"In order to avoid misunderstandings caused by illegal sneaking in, we should enter through the front door openly."
