Chapter 519 The Justice of Silas
The disastrous defeat of Karlond in front of the royal city of Golan did not spread back to his country.

On the one hand, it is because of the lag in the news itself, and on the other hand, it is the intentional concealment of Kraft VI.

The dwarves of Karrond, whether rich or poor, high or low, male or female, were still immersed in the joy of victory. They watched each human slave being transported into the territory, watched the trophies being paraded and displayed, and watched Some dwarves who returned home early returned home in fine clothes, and no one could see the signs of failure from these scenes.

After possessing the "Book of Mechanics", the rise of the dwarves is almost inevitable.

The dwarves took every victory for granted, and gradually some dwarves became numb to victory. Ordinary small victories were no longer enough to arouse their excitement, and they would only celebrate if it was a big victory.

Thousands of dwarves are immersed in the afterglow of carnival regardless of class. For them, it is a certainty to seize the Kingdom of Golan and turn it into a vassal or servant state.

The son of Kaf VI, Prince Mulla, who was temporarily in charge of the government while his father was on an expedition, was even more immersed in his father's idea of ​​the dwarf empire.

Unlike humans, the dwarves have never formed a huge empire due to the inherent barriers caused by clan blood, and they do not have the force to conquer each other.

Many dwarf monarchs once had the ambition to unite all dwarves, but without exception, they all suffered huge failures. What's more, they were jointly annihilated by other dwarf kingdoms, and the entire kingdom was divided up.

"But these days are different from the past. Helis has taken special care of us and even given us the holy object."

Prince Mulla murmured.

Today's Karlonde, with the promotion of steam technology, has gradually accumulated huge national power. One day, when the path of divine creation is promoted, Karlonde will reach a higher level.

By that time, unifying all dwarves will no longer be an idea, but a definite fact.

Prince Mulla opened a replica of the Mechanical Book and laid his eyes on one of the pages.

There, there is a painting with fine brushstrokes and grand scenes - the capital of machinery.

Prince Mulla's eyes couldn't help but reveal fascination.

When Karlond unified the countries and built an empire, this city must be built.

At that time, my father has probably passed away and gone to the underworld. He will be the one wearing the crown, and he will witness with his own eyes the rise of this city built by machines from the ground.

"My father... have you already flattened Golan's royal city?
It won't be long before you can direct your troops against the dwarven kingdoms. "

Prince Mulla was talking to himself, his heart beating excitedly.

Witness the rise of a great empire with your own eyes!That would be an empire that belonged exclusively to the dwarves, not inferior to Deschanel's empire!

Soon after, Prince Mulla calmed down. He thought about it and decided to visit his teacher. Since he temporarily took charge of the government, he had not visited his teacher in the study for a long time.

Since the king's expedition, domestic political affairs of all sizes have been handed over to Prince Mulla. At first, this was an extremely troublesome task. After all, Karlond has been experiencing constant conflicts since the publication of the "Book of Mechanics". Whether it is the gold and silver clan, Whether it is craftsmen who study steam or other ordinary people, it is difficult for people.

But as the good news of King Kafu VI's recovery of the Helong Mountains came back, the entire kingdom fell into excitement. Under this momentum, the original conflicts seemed to be eliminated invisible, and Prince Mulla became more and more efficient in handling political affairs. It’s getting easier and easier.

Prince Mulla walked through the long corridor of the palace, past many wall decorations that mixed dwarven and human styles, and came to Belfan's study. He knocked on the door politely a few times. Even after taking power, he I still have endless gratitude and respect for my teachers.

Following Belfan's invitation, Prince Mulla walked into the study.

The prince was about to say something when he raised his head and saw a stranger he had never seen before.

The stranger looked like a human being, and the clothes he wore were probably the monks' uniforms of the True Cult, which were the simplest ones. He seemed to be having a good conversation with Belfan.

"Teacher, this is..."

Belfan turned his head, stretched out his hand and introduced:
"Sealand, Sealand of Aga, he comes from Radka in Aga, a remote place that no one has ever heard of, but it is that kind of remote place that produced such a knowledgeable person. .”

Belfan had a smile on his face, and it seemed that he had gained a lot from the exchange with Zealand.

Xilan bowed slightly and saluted in front of Prince Mulla. Prince Mulla raised his head and looked at the human. After simply returning the salute, doubts emerged in his heart.

"Teacher, how do you know this...sir?"

Prince Mulla asked.

"It was introduced by other scholars. It is said that he is a pious hermit and has a lot of knowledge about ancient words."

Belvan replied.

Prince Mulla nodded. From this point of view, there was nothing suspicious about Xilan in front of him.

So, the dwarf prince smiled politely again,

"Ajia's Xilan... I once heard that there is an elf named Xilan in the True Religion who received divine revelation in the land of Ajia. His wisdom is better than thousands of sages, and his strength is enough to defeat the mad dragon. "

Xilan smiled and said softly:
"I can't compare to him."

The dwarf prince laughed and praised jokingly:

"You may be wrong. He is just a legendary figure, and many of his deeds are just isolated evidence, but you are real."

Xilan nodded, as if accepting the compliment.

Afterwards, Prince Mulla went to ask Belfan about the status of some research. It seemed that everything was going very smoothly. The addition of Xilan brought them more inspiration. It won't be long before the research will advance to a new level. .

Prince Mulla was extremely satisfied with this answer and did not find any fault. He just assured his teacher that now that he was temporarily in charge of political affairs, he would definitely give him greater support than his father.

Soon after, Prince Mulla left the study and returned to the political affairs of the kingdom.

The dwarf prince would not have thought that the Sealand he saw was not a person with the same name, but the real disciple Sealand.

After Mulla left, Xilan turned to look at Belfan.

Since being invaded by the dream god Laren, Xilan left the prison and found Belfan who was studying the path of divine creation.

After reading Belfan's research, Zealand couldn't help but marvel at it. Although in his own eyes, some parts were full of errors, the general framework was correct, and this was really commendable.

He admired the alchemist in front of him.

For this reason, he protected him from the gods.

Since Laren, the god of dreams, invaded the dreamland and suffered heavy losses, he has focused on targeting the scholar Belfan.

Even though Laron could not take action directly due to the law, he allowed his priest Nelson to exercise the grace of the dream.

And all of this was blocked by Xilan.

What Sealand did was very simple. Since Nelson invaded Belfan's dream, Sealand built a "fake dream" for Belfan and hid the "real dream" within the protection of the "fake dream".

In this way, Nelson would mistakenly think that he had successfully invaded Belfan's dream and exerted influence on him, but in fact it was not the case. Belfan was well protected and had no nightmares for many days.

But being able to fool Nelson may not necessarily fool Laron, who is in charge of the dream. The latter doesn't need to intrude into Belvan's dream, and can figure out exactly what happened just by simply looking at him.

Because of this, Sealand also set up a barrier in the area where Belfan is often active, and the power of this barrier comes from the archangel Silas.

You can't blind the gods by yourself, but if you add an archangel, it will be easy to blind the gods.

Laren, the current god of dreams, thought that Belfan's research had been hindered and was in a state of collapse, and he celebrated this with joy, but he did not know that he had been kept in the dark by Silan.

Xilan admired Belfan and hoped that this man could die a good life. He had completed all his research, so he took great care of him.

Xilan even revealed the news intentionally or unintentionally that the Carlond army suffered heavy losses on the front line.

Once the defeat of the dwarves spreads back to the country, it will be an earth-shaking blow to this country that is still immersed in joy.

As a bystander, Xilan seemed to predict the kingdom's next fate in advance. "Belfan, I have to remind you that your research is so transformative, but it is precisely because of this that it arouses fear. If one day you are regarded as destruction and the incarnation of death, what should you do? ?”

Xilan asked in a low voice.

Belfan looked at Xilan and smiled:
"That won't happen. I am a court teacher hired by the king and under his protection."

Xilan asked further:

"I mean...what if? What would you do? Put down your research and bow your head and admit guilt? Or continue your research and fly away?"

Xilan hoped that Belfan would choose the latter. In that case, she would do her best to protect his safety.

After hearing this, Belfan thought for a while, slowly shook his head and said:

"No, I wouldn't choose either."

Xilan was a little surprised and asked:

"So what would you choose?"

After Belfan thought deeply, he said word by word:

"I choose truth,

I could die for this anytime. "

sea ​​of ​​souls.

For a long time, this place was the territory of the goblins alone. It had never received any outside visitors. Under the leadership of Silas and Sophia, the goblins lived a monotonous and carefree life, unchanged day and night. .

But in recent times, there have been more and more visitors to the Sea of ​​Souls, so much so that the goblins no longer make a fuss about it, but are used to it, and talk about the different visitors.

"This is because more and more people are embarking on the path of divine creation. Maybe one day, some people will even be able to see the faces of us fairies and communicate with us."

In the large library, Fairy Queen Sofia answered a fairy's question.

The goblin nodded. Over the years, they have been traveling through human dreams to pick up good thoughts. Since dreams are often hazy and illusory, few people can see the faces of the goblins clearly.

The goblin thought that one day, someone might see the faces of the goblins clearly and communicate with the goblins, and felt a little incredible. It was like an unmarried couple who had never met and communicated all year round. One day, they were going to have a wedding. This was really scary and confusing. curious.

After taking care of all the affairs among the goblins, Sophia stretched out, fluttered her transparent wings, and flew to the highest point of the Sea of ​​Souls.

There, Sophia saw her king, Silas.

"What are you looking at?"

Sophia landed on the archangel's shoulder with ease.

"Look at some mortals."

Silas paused and added:

"Those mortals who have obtained the tome."

Sophia said "Oh" and then asked:
"Do you have any ideas?

Favor them?Bless them?Give them help? "

Sofia's questions were like a barrage of questions.

Schiles answered quickly,
"I won't help anyone, unless some special people ask for it, such as Xilan.

To me, all mortals are the same, and many of them are insignificant to me. "

After hearing this, Sophia boldly asked:

"Insignificant? What if one day, God asks you to kill all mortals?"

Silas sneered and said meaningfully:
"If God wants me to kill all mortals, then I will kill them all."

"Then you are just."

Sophia said,
“Righteous as God.”

The voice fell to his ears, Silas trembled, he turned his head to look at Sophia viciously,

"No one is like God."

"Did I excite you?"

Sophia asked deliberately.

Silas caught her and asked:
"Of course! I don't understand, Sophia, you always seem to lack some due respect for God."

Sophia thought for a while and replied:

"Probably because He is too far away for me, aren't you going to take me to meet Him?"

After hearing this, Silas fell silent, no one knew what was going on in his mind.

After a moment, the archangel replied:

"No."

Sophia shrugged helplessly.

There was a moment of silence between the two. They looked at each other without speaking.

This situation lasted for a short period of time.

Until Silers suddenly said:

"I want to go to the deepest part of hell more and more."

Sophia's eyes widened. Silas had told her about his experience of going to hell.

Therefore, Sophia understands how hopeless the deepest part of hell is.

"Are you serious?"

Sophia asked.

Silas nodded seriously.

Sofia suddenly grabbed his neck and shouted in a rare and anxious voice,
"No, don't! You don't know what will happen, and I don't know what will happen either!"

After Xilus heard this, he stopped talking. He fell silent and looked at the earth from afar.
