Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

Chapter 223 Saint Ande
……

The treasure hunt ended successfully. Everyone picked up a lot of resources during the game, so they almost went into a state of seclusion and cultivation as soon as they left the arena.

However, the situation in this treasure hunt is different from previous ones. The competition of strength is not very important, what is important is luck.

At a high level, facing that kind of large-scale "dragon tide", it is meaningless to compete with strength. Only if you are lucky enough to hide in a safe place can you survive, otherwise you can only activate the space scroll to leave.

Faced with such an exaggerated scene at that time, there was no such thing as an iron-headed kid.

……

Meanwhile, the elections for the Parthenon were progressing steadily.

Nanting Feiting is the residence of Saint Ande.

Lu Cheng, who had just finished the treasure hunt, was called over by Ye Chang.

Lu Cheng's trust was misplaced after all. Ye Chang was unable to convince Ander that if she could not win the election and become a goddess, Ander would rather jump off the sacred mountain and end her life in a relatively decent way.

The election of the Goddess of Parthenon has always been bloody. Ander would never believe in stopping at a certain point. It's either win or die. This is something she knew since she started to get involved in the affairs of the Goddess.

"So, you would rather die here?" Lu Cheng asked.

Ander looked at Lu Cheng who suddenly appeared calmly, "Essendel has not been caught yet, everything is still unknown."

"No, he's here." Lu Cheng snapped his fingers, and the crow that had been standing quietly on the high stone platform from the beginning emitted black mist and turned back into Essendel.

"You..." Ander was stunned.

"Essendel? How could you…"

Isn't the Holy Inquisition hunting down Essendel all over the world?
"Ander, give up. You have no hope from the beginning." Essendel sighed.

"All the support you received from Izhisa at the Parthenon was fake."

It was only during this period that he found out that ever since the incident with Wen Tai, Yizhisha had been trying to find a way to eliminate the stain of being bribed.

Over the years, more than half of the people involved in that incident have been killed or injured, and this is not only the work of Ye Chang, but also the secret promotion of Yizhisha.

"..."

"fake?"

As Essendel and Ye Chang revealed some secrets about the election, Ander's expression changed from surprise, suspicion, confusion, and finally returned to calmness.

Yeah, she should know.

Who is her teacher Inosa? How could she be willing to give up...

"You are calmer than I thought." Ye Chang said.

"Should I say that he is worthy of being trained by Ishisa?"

Everything from childhood to adulthood was a scam, including Mei Ruolan who stood beside her. Ander was just a victim of Yizhisha's plan.

Including another saint, Paniga, who is also from Izhisa.

This seemingly fierce election for the goddess is actually just a stage play controlled by Yizhisha.

"So, what is your choice now?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Do you want to end it here, or do as I ask."

"What's your request? As your pawn, I will be eliminated by you after the election?" The light in Ander's eyes was gone.

Every election of the goddess is bloody, and the loser will be doomed. Rather than waiting until you become a prisoner, be labeled with a bunch of stigmas, and die without peace, it is better...

Before he knew it, Ander had already reached the edge of the flying pavilion, and was only one step away from falling off the sacred mountain.

"Don't stop her?" Ye Chang asked.

"I always respect other people's choices, unless the other party has a grudge against me." Lu Cheng shrugged.

"And she and I had no social interaction."

"It's just that I didn't expect someone who could stand in the position of a candidate to be so cowardly."

cowardly?

Ander came back to his senses and turned around. "Why do you say that?"

"After knowing the truth, the first reaction was not to resist, but to choose suicide to escape. If this is not cowardice, what is it?" Lu Cheng said.

"You don't think it takes a lot of determination to die, do you?"

"Death is not scary. On the contrary, it can be said to be the simplest thing in the world. Anyone can do it." "Living is the hardest thing."

"I wonder how Athena, the first founder of the Parthenon, would feel if she knew that her descendants had become like this."

"Shouldn't I be proud of you?"

Clean? Glorious?
There are not so many perfect things. The brighter the light, the deeper the darkness.

"But what can I do if I continue to live?" Ender said with a wry smile.

Those who support her on the surface are all Izhisa's minions, even Paniga. Today, Parthenon is still under Izhisa's control.

alive?

If she continued to live, she would only become a scapegoat for those dirty people of Izhisa.

Including the people in front of me, would they be so kind?
"I'm really not that kind." Lu Cheng said.

"But a certain little girl is still so naive. She thinks that since fighting and death can be avoided, then we should try our best to avoid them."

Ander was stunned, "Ye Xinxia?"

The little girl who suddenly appeared was indeed naive. She might know some rules of struggle, but she had no experience in struggle.

"The Parthenon is indeed a bit disgusting now, and the light of the holy city is no longer pure. The world needs to change, instead of continuing to rot like this." Lu Cheng said.

Mankind’s greatest enemy has never been any demon, but himself.

Some so-called "wisdom" is unnecessary, and those so-called human relationships consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

To put it bluntly, there is still not enough sense of urgency.

"But the things about Essendel have been exposed," said Ander.

"According to what you said, Melora and the others are all pawns used by Ishisa to control me. If I continue to live, they will force me to die just the same."

She thought that as long as Essendel was not caught, the charges would not be proven, but this was not the case. She had no chance of survival from the beginning.

Merola and the others have more detailed evidence.

"Evidence?" Lu Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"What evidence? Oh, no, what is guilty?"

"Do you feel guilty? Or does Ishisa feel guilty?"

"Or, does the Holy Court think he is guilty? Or does it belong to those people below?"

"Of course it's the Holy Inquisition," said Ander.

"Why?" Lu Cheng asked.

Ander was stunned. "Because..."

"Can't say it? Then let me say it. Since the Holy Court controls the most powerful wizard group in the human race, they decide right and wrong." Lu Cheng said.

"If the Holy Court is not strong enough, will you still be afraid?"

"Will everyone take the Holy Court's decision seriously?"

Ander looked puzzled. "What do you want to say?"

Rebellion against the judgment of the Holy Inquisition?

What a joke! Even the Holy Son Wen Tai is dead.

Behind the Holy Court is the Holy City, the most powerful violent organization of mankind. Only by becoming a goddess and controlling the true armed forces of the Parthenon can one be qualified to negotiate with the Holy City.

So after Essendel was found guilty, she simply reduced her momentum. As long as she could hold on for this period of time, as long as she became a goddess and took control of the Parthenon's armed forces, the Inquisition would not continue to make a big deal out of it.

The reason why Wen Tai lost back then was because Yi Zhisha didn't help him, and even turned around and killed her own relatives for the sake of justice.

Otherwise, Wen Tai would not have died.

"What I want to say is very simple. You don't need to worry about these issues." Lu Cheng said.

"Don't say that the Holy Court only found evidence of Essendel's guilt. It would be the same even if they got evidence of your guilt."

"If I say you are guilty, you are guilty. If I say you are innocent, you are innocent!"
