Volume 2 Test Site No. 1 Chapter 33: Fear the Truth and Master the Truth
"Your Majesty, it's the Founding Tribe. The Founding Tribe has returned." Great Magician Nicholas excitedly reported to the Kingdom of Durin about his past, and Durin IX reported his stargazing discoveries.
However, Durin IX was not as excited as Nicholas had imagined.
"Master Nicholas, are you sure that the moon that suddenly appeared is related to the founding clan?" Durin IX asked calmly while sitting on the throne.
"The moon? Your Majesty, that is not the moon, it is a planet as big as the Holy Demon Continent." Nicholas reminded solemnly.
"In my opinion, there is no difference. Master Nicholas, I agreed to meet you, not to listen to your wild speculations. The so-called founding family is nothing but a legend!"
"And even if there really was a founding tribe, it was only because they were the first to master the power of magic. That's why they seemed so incredible to the ancient ancestors. But now we also have the power of magic, and we are no worse than them!"
"Your Majesty, the Founding Clan is by no means a legend." Nicholas blushed.
"I know, I know. You are an authority on magic. So is it possible that the moon that suddenly appeared in the sky is just a magical phenomenon? It's just like the red moon and the blue moon, except now there is an extra moon that can be seen during the day!"
"The only difference is that the red moon and the blue moon have existed since ancient times, and this new moon was created because of a magical principle that we haven't understood yet?"
"Your Majesty, this is impossible." Nicholas denied it directly.
"Hahaha, Master Nicholas, nothing is impossible with magic. And as a magician, the greatest advantage should be to stay rational. I don't think you need an amateur like me to teach you this."
"But magicians should be more respectful of the truth," Nicholas argued.
"But the truth is within our grasp. Magic is the truth, and we control magic. Magic can do anything, so we will be able to do anything."
"Don't be superstitious about the so-called founding family. Even if they mastered magic first, our Kingdom of Durin now represents the forefront of magic development. Countless magic devices have been created. We have magic cannons made of magic crystals to fight for us. We have also invented magic stone puppets to build for us. We have also bred babies who don't need a mother in our experiments. We will have the ability to create life sooner or later. What if the founding family really returns?"
"The truth is no longer just in their hands. We have mastered magic, so we are the truth."
Turin IX's ambitions completely left Nicholas speechless.
He couldn't help but even start to doubt himself, wondering if he had really over-deified the founding clan.
Among the upper echelons of the entire Durin Kingdom, this blind optimism was obviously not shared only by Durin IX.
The Kingdom of Durin possesses magical technology that is ahead of the rest of the continent, and the City of Glory is the first city that never sleeps on the entire continent.
Coupled with the continuous progress and development of magic technology and constant technological breakthroughs, the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Durin were given full confidence.
They believed that they were close to mastering the whole truth of magic.
In the parliament of the Iron King City, more than a dozen dwarf councilors have been arguing for a long time.
"I said, that is the founding clan. It is definitely the founding clan that has returned."
"What's your guarantee, Lahore?"
"Lahore, we also hope that it is really the founding family, but you know, what if it is not? So we must be prepared."
"Prepare for what?"
"Prepare for battle! No one knows what the changes in the celestial phenomena will bring. Even if nothing happens, we still have to be prepared. The orcs may take the opportunity to launch an attack."
"But, that is definitely the founding clan."
"Okay, Lahore, we know you are a worshiper of the Founding Clan, but that is already an ancient legend. Who else has clear records of what happened ten thousand years ago, except for those elves who lived long enough? So, let's not talk about this, let's prepare for a possible attack from the orcs."
The City of Warhammer is not as prosperous as the City of Glory, nor is it filled with large amounts of steel like the Iron Kingdom.
This place even looks a bit shabby, and it's obvious that the orcs are not having a good time.
In a few luxurious and tall buildings, shamans from various tribes were discussing something.
Compared to the quarrels in the Dwarf Council, things here seem much more harmonious.
Because they have already reached a consensus on something, but they just lack an excuse to convince the public.
And now, this excuse has come to my doorstep.
"Disaster star, that is a disaster star."
"That's right, the newly appeared moon will bring disaster to the entire Holy Demon Continent."
"This is a test from our great ancestors. Everything is the fault of the human race."
"Attack the human race."
"Attack the human race."
"Conquer the Glowing City."
"Conquer the Glowing City."
In just a short time, the shamans had agreed on everything.
Next, the result was announced to the orcs who had already gathered in the huge square of Warhammer City.
Then, the Great Shaman Malzahar, with somewhat clumsy steps, slowly climbed up to the high platform in the square.
Explained everything to the orcs.
It is a disaster star that will bring destruction to the Holy Demon Continent.
The reason why the disaster came was that humans blindly developed magic technology and angered the gods.
So the gods sent down a disaster.
Therefore, the orcs must punish the human race on behalf of the gods.
Otherwise, the gods will send down disasters to destroy the entire Holy Demon Continent.
In an instant, all the orcs in the square were in an uproar.
"Attack the human race."
"Attack the human race."
"Conquer the Glowing City."
"Conquer the Glowing City."
The shamans have long wanted to attack the human territory.
If they allow the magic technology of the Kingdom of Durin to develop ahead of them, they will fall further and further behind.
Sooner or later, we will be completely left behind by humans .
But they couldn't find any reason to convince the people.
And now, they finally have a reason.
It was the Kingdom of Durin's constant delving into magic that angered the gods.
This is all the human race's fault.
Therefore, the orcs must represent the gods and punish the human race.
The orcs cheered.
Since it is the will of God, then they will definitely succeed in this battle.
Thinking about all the good things that can be snatched from the human race.
Some orcs who had originally opposed the war because humans were becoming stronger and believed that the orcs would inevitably lose, also put aside their doubts and started cheering.
Since we have the blessing of the gods, victory is certain, which is of course a good thing.
They are only against losing the war, not against winning and robbing money, food and good things.
