Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 112: Change of Personnel
It was as if a mission in a game had failed, and the game automatically loaded the game file and returned to the most recent checkpoint. William, who was just about to cast some spells, looked around in confusion.
What on earth happened just now?
The lush woods, the clear night sky, and the bright moon hanging in the velvety night sky - the scenery before his eyes was very different from what William had seen before, which was like the end of the world.
After the other party took out the source of two months to collide with him, he was sent back to the previous timeline almost in the blink of an eye.
How exactly is this done?
No, in comparison, what was more important was how he should get back to that side to stop what was about to happen... He didn't know what was about to happen.
If cutting all the umbilical cords to deliver offspring was something the other party had planned long ago, then the location chosen by Ms. Hungry and Corrupted would probably end up on the other side of the timeline...
For Camilla, who has no "right to discipline", the real body of the other side of the timeline has come. She either treats it as a useless fantasy to entertain herself, or directly incorporates it into the "Lake of Entropy" to expand her own Moon Realm. It is of no use to the real history of the present world.
Even if Juamara was unwilling to continue helping Camilla maintain her dream, after Flora's speech telling her the truth, she couldn't even control the 40 million tree-like forest elves, let alone burn their souls as fuel to rewrite history.
William didn't believe that the other party would do such a deal that was not worth the loss. There must be something wrong with it because of insufficient information.
For example, why did the offspring born from the body of the Earth Mother look like Nehel, who was determined to be dead by the Iron-Hearted Widow El?
There was no way to get the answer just by standing here and thinking. After searching in his own etheric domain, William immediately found the location of Nezemar through the holy statue that he had "blessed".
With a flash of lightning, he disappeared from the spot.
…………
If I were to use one word to describe the current situation in the entire Holy Tree City, it would be chaos.
In the past, Fularo spent more than ten years rebuilding a loose system that was different from the traditional priest-tribal alliance. The Duke of the Holy Tree, who had a close relationship with the current Empress of the Empire, directly referred to the bureaucratic system of the Empire and single-handedly made the entire Jade Province join the huge political system of the Riel Empire.
Rather than belonging to the empire in name only as in the past.
Religious secularization reform, full opening of trade, introduction of modern magic system... a series of drastic reforms have enabled today's Ravenwood, especially the Holy Tree City, to keep up with the new era of the Platinum Calendar.
However, all these changes were not without resistance. The historical inertia of five thousand years was by no means something that could be eliminated in the ten years or so she was in power.
Perhaps it was because Fularo relied on her identity as a lich that she took all the resistance to reform on herself. In other words, the entire Holy Tree City, and even the entire Ravenwood, was able to continue to maintain its system based on Fularo's authority.
With her around, everything goes according to plan.
Without her, everything would be in complete chaos.
The current situation is that Flora loudly announced to all the forest elves that she had abandoned the entire Ravenwood.
After listening to her speech, every forest elf knew that deep in the heart of the arbitrary Duke of the Holy Tree, she actually believed that all forest elves had original sin. She demanded that all forest elves die, and she even required all forest elves to calmly accept their destined death with a heart of atonement.
As a result, the entire Ravenwood fell into riot.
Countless people, mobilized by the Oak Council, surrounded the Bone White Palace, shouting slogans such as "Death to the Duke". They attacked the protective barrier around the palace with their flesh and blood, demanding that the first female ruler of the forest elves in history step down and accept the trial of the Oak Council.
The magic chanter advisory group trained by Floralo in the past, as a seed for the development of the modern magic system of the entire Jade Province, tried to maintain order. As a result, they were killed and torn to pieces by the angry people almost instantly, and then the holy communion ceremony was performed directly outside the palace.
"I just got the news from the Shadow Servant that the Oak Council has begun to take over the treetop temples on each sapling, and the tree spirits have also cooperated very well in handing over control. The hunting tribes of the major beast spirits killed the remaining Wild Hunt troops and announced that they would break away from the control of the Bone White House. They are now joining forces with the people of the Oak Council."
A high elf soldier wearing golden scale armor and a blood-red sword at his waist said so.
Remedios, who had just crawled out of the underground roots and was covered in dust, nodded and asked:
"What about the Imperial Embassy? The most important thing now is their movements."
Because of the close ties between Floro and the Empire in the past, the combat power that can be mobilized in the Imperial Embassy may cause some drastic impact in the current chaotic situation.
"I'm not sure... The security at the embassy was too tight, and the shadow servants we summoned couldn't even get close to it. But according to the magician who went with us, he felt the traces of a large-scale teleportation spell being activated."
Embassies are an important tool for the empire to control various places. They usually have large teleportation arrays inside, which can easily send small but powerful anti-insurgency and punitive forces to the hinterlands of major cities.
"Let your people continue to guard that place first... What else?"
Remedios continued to ask.
"About ten minutes ago, two ambassadors left the embassy and headed towards the Bone White House. But there are too many people outside the Bone White House, and the shadow attendants who were sent to follow them lost them soon. It's not clear..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a flash of lightning beside him, and a high elf with a silver moon pattern woven with silver thread on his robe teleported over.
"Master, the investigation results for the matter you entrusted us with have come out... Tracing back to the last place where the arrow of 'Cause and Effect' appeared, it is the Bone White Palace."
According to Yin Lis, the series of events that had occurred in the underground roots of the World Tree and the sudden echo of the speech were all storms caused by the brief intersection of two timelines.
And right now, the eye of the storm, where the entire storm is erupting, is right inside the Bone White House.
In this case, they had to go to the Bone Palace no matter what...
"But, Lord Continent Master..."
After listening to Remedios's request, the high elf wizard said with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Although it would be no problem for you to directly break the barrier of the Bone White House with your ability in the absence of Flora. But doing so would make too much noise, and the mobs outside instigated by the Oak Council would rush in."
Having said that, he paused.
"Besides, the guards guarding the Tree Crown Temple are also a little exhausted. You may need to go back in person at that time."
"It's okay. I left the teleportation coordinates inside."
At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice echoed behind Remedios, and she turned back with an incredible look on her face.
"presiding judge?"
Remedios said in amazement, forgetting for a moment that she had already escaped from the End Watcher.
"How come you…"
William waved his hand and said:
"I don't have time to explain so much now. Please briefly describe what happened after I left."
…………
After listening to Remedios and Yin Lisi's concise explanation, William pondered for a moment and then said:
"Although many details are still unclear, the general situation is clear. Remedios, could you please take your troops back to the Treetop Temple? In theory, Flora's soul is still buried in the tree. Even if it's just for safety reasons, I need your help to guard it."
As he spoke, he took out a few pale blue gems and used them as a medium to open a portal leading to the public teleportation array of the Dawn Fortress.
"Nazemal, go back and inform Blake and Cas right now. The special operation planned for the Lake of Entropy must be carried out as soon as possible. Also, remember to tell them..."
When William said this, there was some hesitation between his brows.
"You must come back alive."
Nezemal nodded vigorously, then stepped into the portal and disappeared.
After Nezemar left, William took back the gem catalysts and planned to cast the spell again to open the teleportation beacon he had left behind to the Bone House.
But at this time Remedios called William.
"Mr. Kane, let me ask, is Ms. Hungry and Corrupted planning to descend by reenacting the rebirth ritual?"
William looked at her in surprise, wondering how she knew this.
The fact that the Void King can descend by re-enacting the rebirth ceremony is a plot in another ending line, and Remedios should not know about it.
But he nodded anyway.
Seeing this, Remedios said:
"Well, I have some information to tell you..."
…………
"It turns out that Sigmund also came with a special mission from the church... If I had really believed you at the beginning, I would have been used as cannon fodder by you and died without a burial place."
A sarcastic voice echoed in the hall.
"But our goal is the same. We all want to kill Remedios. As long as we know this clearly, it will be enough."
Another cold and inorganic voice answered, and then the man continued:
"But I really didn't expect that you could bypass Floralo and gain access to the Bone White Witch Kingdom's spell array? It seems that the Star Council has made a lot of initial investment in order to surround and kill the Shadow Queen of Ava Continent."
Of the three imperial envoys who had come to persuade Flora to join them in besieging and killing Remedios, except for the bishop of the Second Order, the other two were now in the conference hall of the White Bone House.
The member of the Star Council was now sitting on the withered throne, with all kinds of runes floating around him.
The man who answered was wrapped in a robe and stood under the throne.
"That's not right. It's just that Floral's teaching materials for studying magic, and with some secret doors left by the Star Council, she was able to do it with some tricks. It's nothing like your Annihilation Tower, which directly sent out next-generation constructs like you. Speaking of which, I'm curious, does something like you made entirely of bronze need to eat?"
The man from the Star Council said so.
The other party shook his head when he heard this, and the congressman continued to ask:
"Okay, this is indeed a very meaningless topic. Let me change the question. For you, does it really need to eliminate the ruler of the high elves?"
"It is necessary... It has nothing to do with her status as the ruler of Ava. It's just that all the members of the Tribunal must be eliminated."
The man wrapped in the robe said so.
The member of the Star Council was about to say something, but suddenly his eyes turned to a corner in the hall.
Several pale blue gems were swirling there, and with a flash of lightning, a portal quickly opened there.
"She's here. It looks like Sigmund failed to kill her."
The man wrapped in the robe whispered.
"Isn't that good? We are better at this than him."
The member of the Star Council said so, and then he shouted to the shadowy figure floating in the portal:
"Ms. Remedios, welcome to the place where you died. We are honored to serve you..."
But before he could finish his words, the other party walked directly through the portal and into the hall, interrupting him from finishing the rest of his words.
The person who came was not Remedios, but a male Storm Man.
"Sorry, we've changed people."
The man said this after looking around.
"And I'm in a hurry now, so I won't hold back."
