Chapter 34 , Coalition
The burning flame licked Pandora’s square and burned out black smoke. The gorgeous and joyful wedding is long gone, and all that is left is fighting and wailing, just like the background of this wild and chaotic era.
The crusaders dragged the howling pope out of danger. The wizards pursued the victory, followed behind them, and released their magic. At the moment of victory and pursuit, they are even more mad dogs than mad dogs.
The Crusaders were hit by spells with different lights, some died, some melted, and some even turned directly into dust.
But they wrapped the seriously injured pope one after another, using their lives to buy time for the retreat of the pope. The wizards couldn’t help them at the moment.
Silby stood naked on the high platform, motionless, watching them leave.
Gryffindor, covered in blood, dragged his sword and rushed to Silby, shouting: “Hey, you just let him go!?”
Silby glanced at him and said nothing.
Gryffindor kicked the barrel beside him angrily, kicking it into pieces: “You can obviously kill him.”
Silby only said indifferently: “Don’t chase, get your people together, I have an important event to announce.”
Gryffindor felt that he was ignored, and angrily he reached out and grabbed Silby’s neck, but his arm was stopped by Ronay Ravenclaw out of thin air.
She grabbed the angry Gryffindor and whispered: “Don’t be impulsive, he is farther than you think.” Ravenclaw said with emotion: “No one dead pope is alive, but he suffers. The pope who is seriously injured is more valuable. Because he is seriously injured, the church must spend a lot of energy to look after him and heal him. As long as he lives for one day, it can drag down the church one day.”
Gryffindor was startled and suddenly realized, seeing Silby’s eyes a little more in awe. Then he tore off his robe, waved it in his hand, and shouted at the wizards: “Come here, our new king has something to say.”
The wizards stopped pursuing, and they saw Gryffindor waving a red cloak on the high platform.
So Slytherin brought a group of wizards to Silby. Every one of them was wounded more or less severely. In the chaotic battle, they were surrounded by the Crusaders and hardly had time to take care of themselves. Only a few people knew how Pope Gregory VII was defeated.
For the naked madman standing on the high platform, they instinctively maintained a hundred thousand points of vigilance, one wave after another, who knows what else this guy can sting.
Silby waved his hand, and a plain robe flew into his hand. He simply draped the robe on his body, barely blocking the private parts, and then he said in a loud voice:
“For thousands of years, we wizards have been adhering to the attitude of doing things low-key, not attracting attention, and studying magic. Mystery is synonymous with us, and concealment is our instinct. But today…”
His majestic gaze scanned the audience: “The times have changed, and the idea of muffled to make a fortune has already fallen into the lower ranks. Three hundred miles away, the church’s crusaders are hunting for dissidents. Hanged, burned to death.
The reason for all of this comes from our dispersion, inaction, and the deep-rooted thought of avoiding war.
But facts have proved that war is inevitable and conflict is inevitable. It is everywhere. If the people in the churches say that God really exists, then his only purpose is to create conflicts. Under conflicts, we can only defeat our opponents if we are united.
If even Muggles can unite and fight for one goal, then why can’t we! ? ”
Taking a deep breath, Silby said:
“If there is no objection, I will form an alliance. The sole purpose of the alliance is to remove from the road anything that hinders the proliferation and learning of wizards, including the church, including division, and including ignorance.”
The unbelievable madness came out of the boy’s mouth, and when others looked at him, they only felt that the Three Views were overturned, and five thunderbolt thundered.
Three months ago, this guy defeated Gryffindor, settled in Pandora Palace, and became king. That’s all. Three months later, he left Pandora Palace, and at his wedding, he exposed the conspiracy of the church and caused a huge melee.
After the melee, he uttered wild words again, saying that he would form an alliance and destroy the church. If it wasn’t for the previous scene of the queen becoming pope that made them nervous, I am afraid that many people would laugh out loud at this moment.
“Any objection?”
Silby looked around and asked again.
No one answered.
After a while, just as Silby thought they all agreed with him, a skinny old man walked out of the crowd. He clutched his injured shoulder and asked hoarsely: “You want to create an alliance, who will be the leader of this alliance. ”
The speaker, he is Oleard. The Druid wizard who lost to Gryffindor in the arena before is a general of the Slytherin camp.
“Of course I will do it.” Silby folded his arms. “What do you mean?”
“You have to form an alliance, and you have to be the leader, but why should we trust you, a Mao… a guy so young can take us to clear the obstacles and bring down a behemoth like the church.”
“If you are not blind, you should know. Who just defeated Gregory VII and rescued you.” Silby said loudly.
“With all due respect,” Oleard had a different opinion: “Gregory is only one of dozens of generations of popes. Defeating him and destroying the church are totally different. As long as the Muggles still believe in God, religion Will not disappear.”
“I know it’s difficult, but at least I’m doing this.”
Silby said confidently: “And you didn’t do this, so you have no choice but to believe in me.”
“How do you think that none of us is doing this? If we are not for this, why should we come to Pandora, why should we marry the queen?”
Oleard said vowedly: “You can form an alliance, but the alliance must follow the strongest person. Otherwise, we will go astray, fall into a trap, and even meet death.”
Silby smiled; “Let me sum it up, you think the leader should be the most powerful person, right?”
“Not bad.”
“Do you think so too?”
Silby looked into the eyes of the other wizards below.
The wizard looked at him, his eyes were uncertain, but no one dared to speak. Until this time, wizards still habitually maintained a modest and low-key, unwilling to show their attitude.
Silby was not angry. He nodded and said to Oleard: “Very well, since the concept is so deeply ingrained and that I will bring death, then please crush me and bring your faith to crush me. I.”
When he said so, Oleard obviously hesitated. Obviously, this boy had previously defeated Pope Gregory VII, and his strength was unfathomable.
But soon, a touch of greed appeared on Oleard’s face, and he grinned, “This is what you said.”
Then, the square suddenly cracked, and the appearance of countless cracks caused the ground to shake violently. It is a tree root as thick as the tail of a dragon.
No wonder he dared to pick this time to challenge Silby.
It turned out that in the previous chaos, Oleard had unknowingly planted his roots in the earth, absorbing the nutrients of countless dead people. At this moment, he was suddenly in trouble, seemingly reckless, but in fact he calculated carefully.
In less than three seconds, Oleard grew from a thin old man into a towering tree nearly 100 meters high. The red energy gurgled through his dragon-like branches, exuding unparalleled power. can.
The faces of the wizards changed drastically, and Gryffindor pulled out their swords and shouted: “Run, this guy is not at ease.”
Silby was expressionless. He ignored the towering one hundred meters tall tree that appeared on the square and said to the wizard under the tree:
“Among the monkeys, the male monkey who can fight the most, although he is the king, he can only enjoy the right to mate. When it comes to looking for food, most monkeys will follow the older female monkeys.”
“Come on, see who is stronger!”
Oleard’s swollen face emerged from the tangle of branches, and with an ecstatic smile, he slammed his fist at Sylby, who was as small as an ant.
Silby continued: “The female monkey has experience and knows where to find food. That’s why she can lead others. In essence, she is a server. The male monkey is nothing but fights.”
“The throne is mine!!”
Olead shouted eagerly.
boom.
Accompanied by a small crisp sound.
Silby didn’t move.
It turned out that Gryffindor was holding the fairy sword, rushed to Silby, raised the sword, and stopped the long-planned blow for Silby.
Under the extremely heavy force, the fairy sword bends and makes a creaking sound. Gryffindor’s body kept falling until his knees sank to the ground.
He roared in pain: “This guy is so powerful, who can help!!”
Only Silby was in Oleard’s huge eyes, but Silby had no intention of taking action, and he didn’t even look at Oleard.
He put his hands behind his back, neither Oleard nor Gryffindor, he just said to the wizards on the periphery: “If my short life has taught me anything. It is that the system cannot defeat death, and knowledge cannot Conquering death, thinking cannot conquer death, only the new life can conquer death.
Although I am young, I represent the new life. I will lead you to overcome all death and serve you, just like the female monkey. If you want, you can stay and help me, if not, you can leave. ”
His words finally convinced the wizard.
Gryffindor, holding the fairy sword, trembled all over, panting and said, “I…I took it, you…you **** fit me better.”
Ravenclaw looked at the guy who hasn’t even worn a piece of clothes until now with complicated eyes, sighed, walked up to him, knelt down on one knee, stroking his chest, “Can I give you a suggestion?”
“what?”
“Next time you have to give a speech, get dressed and then give a speech. The persuasive power is much higher.”
“I got it.”
Silby buttoned up his broken robe.
Ravenclaw walked to Silby, drew his wand, and pointed it at Oleard, the giant tree man.
After Gryffindor and Ravenclaw chose to surrender, most of the wizards walked up to Silby and expressed their surrender to him. Then he took out his weapon and pointed directly at Oleard.
Among the crowd, Slytherin understood that the general situation was over, and he completely underestimated this guy. Underestimated his talent, underestimated his ability, and even underestimated his ambition.
The encounter in the belly of the snake had already seemed like a world away, and the oath of the master and servant was more like a joke, drifting in the wind. He knelt on one knee silently and chose to surrender. Then, he stood in front of Oleard, his dark green eyes turned yellow, which was a precursor to his basilisk gaze.
Oleard was shocked, which was completely different from what he had imagined. He thought that the little-looking boy would fight him single-handedly. But it was not the case, he never made a move from start to finish.
On the contrary, he only used a few words and a metaphor to turn all wizards into his opponents. Although he was arrogant, he was not arrogant enough to be an enemy of so many people.
Immediately, he made a choice.
He loosened all the corpses used to provide nutrients, and from a giant sky tree that was more than 100 meters high, he turned back into that thin and weak old man again. He crawled and threw himself under Silby’s feet. Kneeling and kissing his toes covered with mud and blood:
“I…I surrender…I surrender…”
Silby looked at him without speaking.
Oleard wept in fear. He cut off his palm, turned his **** palm into a red crown, and handed it to Silby, “Forgive me… forgive me… Your Majesty .”
Silby was taken aback, but this was something he hadn’t expected.
He wanted to reject Oleard’s name in one fell swoop.
But he saw the gaze of the wizard from all directions.
The gaze fell on Silby, making him a little breathless. Under that gaze, he subconsciously put the blood crown on his head, and reached out to touch Oleard’s old head. “I forgive you not guilty.”
Thunderous applause, like a tide, flooded the city,
……
……
“Later… Later… you know… Hiccup…”
Dodoro had a long alcoholic hiccup, and said intoxicated: “After Pandora subdued all the wizards, more and more wizards heard of Lord Spencer’s deeds. Those wizards who have been tortured by the church have joined us.
Soon, we formed an army of nearly 100,000 wizards. Under his leadership, we have been in such a turbulent way… completely wiped out the influence of the church from the mainland… only… it only took less than five years. ”
The flame was burning in the dark room, the candles on the table had been burned to the bottom, and the wax oil dripped on the table.
“Five years…five years…less than…now, as long as one day passes, we can…can win. Completely defeat the church…”
Duoduoluo’s voice was getting lower and lower. After all, he was overwhelmed by the action of a large amount of alcohol. His huge body shook. In the end, he fell one head into the countless empty wine bottles and fell asleep.
Chloe’s silver head sneaked out of Hoffa’s arms. After seeing the two asleep, she climbed onto Hoffa’s shoulder and sighed softly, “This is too good to drink.”
Hoffa looked at Dodoro and Tyra who fell on the ground, and slightly clenched his fists. I have to say that he was bluffed by this old past. Silby’s life experience is even more bizarre than his. He actually married the Pope and turned his “wife” into a spider at his wedding.
He couldn’t help thinking of the spider pope he had seen before, and then the silver cryptex he had given him.
Cryptex.
Hoffa took the cryptex out of his arms and looked at the row of letter locks above, thinking that this thing was still a token of his marriage. It was really magical.
But, what kind of thing would that guy use as a password?
From Dodoro’s story, Hoffa only saw Silby slaughter the Quartet, pretending to be forced everywhere. But he didn’t notice any real side of him, or…any words he might use as a password.
He pushed Dodoro, but Dodoro had fallen into a severe coma, probably because of alcohol poisoning.
Hoffa couldn’t bear it, but thought that he was actually a thousand-year-old man, who had already turned into smoke in reality, and couldn’t help feeling helpless for his compassion.
“Let’s go.” He stood up.
“We continue to look for clues.” He said to Chloe.
Leaving the captain’s room, there is still endless white snow falling in the black sky outside. From beginning to end, the scenery here has not changed, as if the day and night will never come.
After bidding farewell to the wizards on the boat, Hoffa returned to his boat and rowed across the fjord.
The cold made Hoffa sober, but the confusion still tortured him.
Because from his experience, the Big Four of Silby and Hogwarts are in a state of falling out in the future. Slytherin even cursed Silby, making him unable to use magic for the rest of his life, so he could only linger in a wheelchair.
But in Dodoro’s story, Silby becomes a real king, unstoppable and unstoppable. If he really overthrew the church and made such a great contribution to the wizard, then why did Slytherin curse him. Moreover, the church has not been destroyed. Chloe’s existence is a clear proof. Could it be that what happened on the eve of the destruction of the church?
Perceiving Hoffa’s confusion, the elf that Chloe’s soul turned into couldn’t help but comfort him: “Don’t think about it, you’ll figure it out when you find him.”
“I know, I’m just worried, the more I can’t figure out his true thoughts, the more terrifying I feel.” Hoffa said frankly.
The sound of water splashes.
After a moment of silence.
“If you are really worried, you should go out and return to the real world to destroy my resurrection stone.” Chloe said, “This is the safest way.”
“What?” In the piercing cold wind, Hoffa was startled and stopped rowing. “What are you talking about?”
“My soul is your only weakness,” Chloe said. “As long as I have the possibility of survival, your time abilities are not unique.”
Hoffa: “So you must destroy your soul to ensure that others cannot use you to kill me?”
“Yes.” Chloe said: “From the current situation, this is the most sensible approach.”
“No.” Hoffa categorically refused and continued rowing: “When this happens, I will reshape a body for you.”
“I’m so happy that you think so, really.”
Chloe whispered, “But the same thing cannot happen a second time.” She looked at the dark night sky and whispered: “Sometimes what you want to do is good, but if you really do that A good thing is a bad thing.”
