Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Faced with Finch's arrogance, Earl Steer could only respond with a contemptuous sneer: "I don't think so. At least some mages don't think so. Otherwise, there would be no such prosperous age of crystal energy."

Finch laughed: "But without us mages who have been trying to restore the past glory, would there be a way for mortals to survive under the royal authority?

Even a great nobleman like you, even a nobleman with military merit, almost lost his family due to the random actions of a prince.

By the way, the one who discovered this was also a great sage who didn’t care about any noble family at all! "

Earl Steer looked at him inexplicably: "Did you make a mistake?

I have no objection to the mage, but as a hereditary noble, or even a person whose ancestors were only minor nobles, I love this Danboro so much, even if my son was tricked to this extent by the king's son.

When it comes to things like conspiracy, you have to decide what to do on your own... If you lose, you lose, but there is always a chance to get revenge, right?

Even if that guy is a prince, I'm not completely powerless to fight back.

But, if it were the so-called prosperous age of mages in the past... If a magus wanted to deal with our Stel family, would there be a need to use conspiracy?

Destroying cities and killing people at every turn, not to mention civilians, isn't that just the death of princes and nobles?

Even if there are survivors who want to take revenge, it depends on whether they have the fate to do so, or even survive until the other party dies first.

At least for now, we mortals in the eyes of mages can still refuse to accept our fate... Although not everyone can make crystal energy weapons, as long as they are willing to spend money, they can still buy weapons that can kill level 10 mages. "

He glanced at Finch coldly: "Besides, those who want to plot against us will still plot against us no matter when they are!

They will only behave respectfully in front of you, a family of mages!

Of course it was better in the past for you, and no one is even tempted to plot against you.

However, I will not think that the world is still as good as it used to be just because of what happened to the Ster family.

Now is the best time in Oasis. "

Finch was silent for a few seconds: "500 a drop, do you want to buy it? I can bear the pain and give you two drops."

Earl Steer was stunned for a second: "Damn it! It's so far away and it has such an obvious effect? ​​How did our family survive until now?"

Then he nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"

After squirting ice water on his face and regaining his composure, Count Ster continued to communicate with Finch with a normal expression.

No one could tell from that serious face that this man was an idealist.

Finch, while outwardly polite, has been a bit cavalier: Earl Stear doesn't seem to be a complete kingist... He supports the royal family just because the royal family is the best leader at this time.

Then he looked thoughtfully at the Ismail Building in the center of Brassia City, which was taller than the Hall of Wealth... He seemed a little familiar with Count Steer's style!

The last time I was so speechless was probably when I met the Great Sage Ismail, right?

His father, the great sage Finch, had always told him to have less contact with Ismail. This guy sincerely believed in his crooked ideas, such as the fact that gods are no longer in the world, and humans must save themselves and let mortals live freely on the earth. Such nonsense...and the ability to confuse people is particularly strong.

Moreover, he can always walk away from all kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies with an innocent look on his face, without any effort at all!

The Alchemy Association wanted to steal his blueprints from more than one great sage. What was the result?

They all had to keep a fool like Delgado in the position of vice president...otherwise there would be no one left.

The most important thing is that his strength has improved so fast that other sages have investigated whether he has any special bloodline several times.

The research on crystal energy is also too mature.

How can I put it... Even the most powerful alchemist master, after inventing something, it will take a long time to introduce the new from generation to generation.

However, Ismail, after publishing the basic theory to the world, was still able to find the most suitable update method as quickly as possible under the pressure of the cooperation of several sages from other countries.

It was as if he already had a set of rough to mature drawings in his mind.

Moreover, what the mages could not understand was that two generations of King Danboro trusted him almost without any prejudice!

This is a king!

In the long aristocratic era of Oaises, which king could not rise to power in a fierce royal struggle because of greed and hypocrisy?

The Finch family had witnessed with their own eyes how the previous king had fought his way through the dozen sons of the old king... Of course, the consequence was that his own heirs were too few, leaving the current king, although he had nothing, Military strength, but at least a king with good political acumen came to power.

But Ismail, who was so decisive in killing and could not even tolerate his brothers who were not a threat, actually trusted him sincerely and never doubted that the most terrifying weapon was in the hands of the great sage. We will not let the Kingdom of Damboro directly turn into the Kingdom of Ismail!

Great Sage Finch has changed from the initial suspicion that 'Great Sage Ismail is the incarnation of a certain god' to the current 'executor of the will of the world of Oasis'.

If it were the incarnation of a god, Oasis's control over the world would never allow him to be alive and well until now.

When the era of crystal energy matures, it is time for this god to show his identity and gain a piece of faith to return to his throne.

But Ismail is still Ismail.

This is not in line with the consistent laws of the world of Oaises... The secret inheritance of the mages has long told them that Oaises seems to have many gods, but in fact only Oaises himself has the final say.

However, Poseidon still has some autonomy, otherwise there would not have been the thousand-year war that caused heavy losses to Danboro.

The mages actually regretted that they were so active in resisting the invasion of Poseidon as the outer god... Who doesn't know that the desertification of the continent is not just because of Poseidon's wrath?

Mortals are not so stupid when they are cursed by the Guided Ones for the ruthlessness of Poseidon.

Finch couldn't help but take another look at Count Stehr: This guy used to stay in the army all year round, and only stayed in the castle for five years. He should not have brainwashed himself into a fool.

Those should be the so-called worshipers of Ismail... Also, the status of soldiers has become as high as it is now because of the emergence of crystal energy weapons.

Finch observed Earl Ster for a while and found that he was just a little embarrassed because of his prying, but not uneasy. Then he breathed a soft sigh of relief: It seems that Earl Ster and Ismail The families are not in cahoots.

Also, the person in Basia City is Lusimar. That guy can be regarded as the most brainless guy in the Ismail family, whose children have always been serious and smart.

And he is also an idiot who always thinks that his talent as a mage is unparalleled in the world... It's really strange, which archmage who can become a sage didn't become an intermediate mage before the age of 40?

But none of the other young people in the Ismail family have this kind of virtue. It's obvious that no one taught him... It has mutated to such an extent. Could it be that the Ismail family has suffered retribution?
