The golden appearance even looks a little old. You can only vaguely distinguish the patterns and nine pointed star engraving on it. There is a gap at the edge of the cup.

This is the nine pointed star Holy Grail, which opened the treasure of the "Wizard era" - the earliest wizard sages hundreds of years ago established the first wizard college and laid a foundation in eboden.

Then, in the 13 generations of the rise of the Empire, wizards quietly spread throughout every corner of the country illuminated by the Holy Cross - either compromise with humiliation, equal exchange of interests, or gradual control of power... They survived and grew in jealousy, disgust, oppression and worldly incomprehensible eyes.

Everything starts with this humble vessel

Looking at the Holy Grail placed on the high platform, which is as bland as another fake "Holy Grail hall", some uneasy black haired wizards never left corona in front of them and looked at the wizard tower elder who claimed to be "one year older than freswalker".

He felt some numbness in his scalp.

The wizard in front of him is different from Dalton, Peter and even all the Wizards he has met - even if they are smart, cunning, vicious, kind and tolerant... But they all have one characteristic, that is, they are "Wizards".

It's better to say that they all look at the problem from the identity and perspective of a "Wizard". Most of them stand aloof from the world. Only when the bottom line of tolerance is reached will they rise up and try their best to maintain a relatively stable situation, so that they can devote themselves to research and learning.

But corona is different.

Everything that happened after he arrived in eboden... No, his plan had begun long before he came here, and the steps were detailed, the structure was precise and flexible; It is like a huge net, including the whole eboden!

He found the Holy Grail, joined hands with Ariel, persuaded the wizard tower and entrapped Alto Bellini. He also used the Holy Cross Church, the night watchman, the Empire and even himself... Almost all the forces involved in this dispute fought each other for the same goal he set.

He designed the Holy Grail War!

The Lord of the corona family was the first wizard who spoke of "strategy" met by Loren.

That means he is more dangerous than all the enemies he has met.

"Before everything starts, I must admit that I didn't expect you to be here - I made a mistake in Asriel's judgment. I didn't expect that they were two evil gods who depended on the same 'Legend'."

Corona sighed with self mockery: "in the original plan, it should be the bishop of fascism who came here."

"Then, I guess you'd like to talk about this topic." Loren couldn't help sneering: "such a complex and strict plan, but there's no object to show off - it must be hard."

"I'm not sure if I want to show off, but you're right. I can't tell others - I can't even write it down or think more, otherwise I risk being detected."

Young corona smiled modestly: "but I don't think two young people like listening to an old man, so I won't talk more about the original plan. Anyway, it was meaningless long ago."

"You were taken away by evil gods, and the fascists successfully found here. The nine pointed star wizard tower that defeated me will collapse, and the evil gods who had no time to leave will fall into the void. Bishop Francis, who destroyed the Holy Grail, sacrificed here bravely and fearlessly.

This is the ending I designed... Unfortunately, there is no chance to achieve it again. "

Lauren frowned slightly, while the little wizard behind him grabbed his cuff, looked at the young man in shock and said such a terrible thing in a tone like chatting!

The dark haired wizard was silent, waiting for corona to go on.

"In short, the whole thing is very complex, with many coincidences and accidents, but the final outcome really exceeded my expectations." corona, sitting opposite them, said softly: "at first, he just wanted to fight the rule of the Bellini family in eboden, but the change of things made me see more possibilities, and even achieve a goal that could not be achieved."

"Then, what is that?"

The little wizard trembled and said. Loren felt her hand holding her sleeve a little tight.

Corona on the other side showed a very bitter but very emotional expression:

"Is to make the Holy Cross really believe that wizards are no longer threatening!"

The two men were stunned almost at the same time.

"This is a 'War' that has spread for hundreds of years and has not stopped since the beginning of the wizard era. At least that's what the Holy Cross Church calls it. You witches from lottel should have a better understanding - harsh prohibitions, inhuman coercion, and secular coldness and contempt."

Corona's tone revealed a deep sadness: "in the era of my father's generation, it was not just lottel, but the norm of the whole empire!"

"However, this situation has been greatly improved in recent decades. Richer and open areas no longer have discrimination and coldness, but regard wizards as a type of scholars; nobles also began to favor the wisdom of wizards. Even the imperial capital also has a royal wizard college, and the whole wizard world is gradually being accepted."

The black haired wizard nodded. He had the most profound experience in eboden. The identity of a wizard here is almost like a noble.

He vaguely guessed the other party's purpose, but... In order to make the church no longer think that wizards are a threat, he will destroy the nine pointed star Holy Grail?

This is incredible!

"The reason why the Holy Cross Church regards wizards as a threat is that the nine pointed star Holy Grail is the valve of the void and the real world, and this power is a hidden danger to the existence of the Holy Cross - this practical 'threat theory' makes the whole church unite as one and resist the whole wizard group regardless of faction."

"So you think if the Holy Grail is destroyed, the church can be divided?" Lauren looked at him incredulously. "Or do you say that as long as they do so, they can make up with the wizard and create a better tomorrow together?"

"No, that's impossible," corona said faintly. "But the loss of a goal will make the Holy Cross relax its vigilance and let them ignore another 'threat'."

"What threat?"

"The natural opposition between the church and the wizard - this is the real contradiction between the two, not because of the nine pointed star Holy Grail or the non belief of wizards, which has nothing to do with those."

He shook his head slowly: "the contradiction between the two exists naturally. The strength of one side must represent the weakness of the other. Many wizards bless the very naive fantasy that we can be accepted by the church; as far as I know, there seems to be a similar naive voice in the church."

"Didn't you just say 'let the church stop threatening wizards'?" Lauren asked sarcastically, "isn't it the same innocence?"

"And this is what I said, the real threat." corona shook his head disapprovingly: "you think, if the nine pointed star Holy Grail is the beginning of everything, why didn't the church destroy the original 'wizard tower'

Loren was stunned.

"In those days, they were so weak that they were so sad. Why didn't they be destroyed by the church? Why did they survive and grow so strong that they won't be easily defeated today?"

The atmosphere gradually became silent, and the three people's eyes involuntarily turned to the nine pointed star Holy Grail placed there - the answer was on it.

"It's very simple, because the church was strong enough and confident that a small group of wizards could not resist at all - the only end of using the Holy Grail was to make them become the sworn enemies of the whole empire, and then die without a place to bury.

They are right.

A sacred object, a seemingly powerful weapon, is not enough to make wizards really stand up; what really makes us stand up and make us strong and indestructible is ourselves. "

Corona spoke, and his voice suddenly began to grow old: "this is the natural threat of wizards to the church, and few people really perceive this in the church."

"Because they represent the past and we represent the future

Take it for granted that the past should make way for the future! "
