"I searched for Mar's believers among the people. Their own magical attainments were low and they could not get a direct response from Mar." He shook his head, "However, they can still use divine magic, and all our members, including the preparations,
The members of the group have all lost the ability to contact the magical network. In other words, Marr did not ban magical arts, but deliberately targeted us."
"It's as expected." Yuffie tilted her head and held her cheek with her hands, "What else?"
"That day, the man who destroyed the city wall... was called Cullen Dar, a priest of the "Lord of Heaven" Ada." He gritted his teeth and spit out the name, "Before Holly Castle was attacked, he had a close relationship with Rogman
The three generations met. If I guessed correctly, it was he who proposed the war against us!"
"In other words, it is possible that Ada and the current Mal have some kind of connection or cooperation?" Lin leaned directly on the table and turned to look at her friends beside her, "Yuffie, tell me, it's impossible for them to be
The same person?"
Yuffie pursed her lips and was silent for a while. Sean didn't fully understand what riddle they were playing, but judging from the girl's expression, it was obviously not a good thing.
"I don't know." After a while, the girl whispered, "Leonos said that everyone can only be the agent of one god. But maybe 'he' is an exception." She raised her head and looked.
To Sean, who was a little confused, "Thank you for the information. Then, let me tell you the news we got."
Sean nodded vigorously, swallowed, and mentally prepared himself—or, in other words, thought he was prepared. Because some of the girl's next words completely exceeded his psychological expectations.
"Lord of the Earth" Marr is just a mortal who represents divine power, and the same goes for Edda. The previous Marr, the one they believed in, died decades ago. The current Marr may be the same person as "The Gray War" two hundred years ago.
"The chief culprit tried to return to Aiur twenty years ago and was later sealed. The current "Lord of Heaven" Edda, as the envoy who guides the empire to launch war, is likely to have some kind of close relationship with Marr -

"I even suspect that the demons in Breeze Forest have something to do with them. The destruction of the Mystery Lock was an accident, but if we don't explore, sooner or later they will be able to break the Mystery Lock from the inside - it's just an isolation.
Rather than a prison." Yuffie ended her narration like this, "The empire has suffered a lot of losses as a result. It is indeed an irrefutable fact. We cannot blame the empire for sending troops from this point of view. However, the Black Crow Knight
Tuan may just be a victim of a greater darkness."
Sean reluctantly nodded, indicating that he heard the girl's words. He could vaguely sense a huge conspiracy - or plan, and the destruction of the Black Crow was the final step. In his heart, he felt sorry for those who unfortunately died in battle, and those who were forced to
The knight who left his home felt indignant, then forced himself to calm down and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.
"Miss Yuffie, how can you be sure that Alaya... and those members are still alive?"
"It's very simple." Yuffie replied easily, "I can feel that they are essentially the same as me before, incomplete undead creatures made by the power of Edda." She nodded her lips, "
Unlike low-level undead, they have their original memories, personalities and physical qualities, which are much 'easier to use' than zombies with dull movements. As for why they look like you see, probably... they are under some kind of control.
."
"Is there a way to release the control?" He asked eagerly, "You should... don't want them to fight with your companions!"
"Before the control method is determined, I'm not sure whether there is a way to remove it or how much time it will take." The girl's voice was still calm, almost making Sean feel a little ruthless. Fortunately, her next words pulled him out of the valley again.
, "However, my intuition tells me that the manipulation they are subject to is not permanent."
Lin glanced at Sean and seemed to be encouraging him. "Besides, even if we can't do it, there are still Dean Collins and Sister Yinyue."
"Thank you." Sean felt a little relieved now, "Miss Yuffie, is there anything else I need to do next?"
"Continue to track the movements of that army and observe whether they have any unusual behavior." Yuffie replied, "They are not fast, but they hardly need to stop. I am afraid it is a tiring task."
Sean took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "No problem." He said, "This is what I want to do - what about you?"
"We have to find a way to chat with His Majesty the Emperor." Lin said happily, as if she really wanted to chat with him, "Don't worry, I just went to ask him what benefits he got from Ada!
"
Sean knew that it was very dangerous to try to get close to the emperor now, no matter what they wanted to do. However, he had no position or intention to stop the two of them, he just pursed his lips and bowed slightly.
"I wish you good luck. Then, I'm going."
Sean walked down the stairs and recited a spell. The power of the wind drove his legs, making him faster than any fast horse. After chasing for about ten minutes, the army appeared at the end of his sight again.
So he slowed down and watched their every move from a distance.
As Yuffie said, they do not need to eat or rest, but march tirelessly day and night. However, they still seem to rely on light. Every night, some soldiers in the queue will light up lights.
The speed of the divine torch has also been slightly slowed down.
Even so, following them all the time, paying attention to every slight movement and abnormality, is still a job that tests patience and physical strength. Sean uses secret techniques to support the operation of his brain, plus a small amount of bread and water.
With a commitment or other beliefs, I have persisted.
There was nothing abnormal in the first three days and nights. At noon on the fourth day, the queue was already close to the original location of Holly Castle. At their marching speed, they were only four or five days away from the eastern border.
Sean looked at the abandoned castle with mixed feelings in his heart. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the soldiers took off a curved wine bottle from their waists, unscrewed the stopper, and poured out the liquid.
In the entrance.
It only took several days to drink once, not to mention that they didn't need to eat or drink - the wine jug was probably not filled with ordinary water or wine, Sean thought. But how to obtain a sample of the wine jug or the liquid in it made him a little confused.
Got into trouble.
Continuing to wait would obviously be too weak. Yuffie said that there was a spiritual connection between these warriors, but the wine bottle itself was an ordinary object and probably would not have any magic attached to it. He calmed down his somewhat fluctuating mood and recited:
A standard incantation that is not very proficient allows the body to completely dissolve into the air.
