Chapter 896: The Dusty Mystery
In the darkness, he felt two hands grabbing him at the same time, and Nightingale's vigilant voice sounded, "What's going on?"
"The illusion generated by this sigil directly acts on the eyes," explained Agatha. "On the surface, everyone seems to have disappeared, but in fact it does not affect the reality. We are still standing at the original position .”
"If you don't want to watch it, just exit the range of the sigil directly." Isabella added.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the shady curtain to gradually fade away, revealing a transparent glass dome, marble floor and a spacious conference round table. Then there was a witch wearing a union-style robe, and the Starfall Queen with long fiery red hair was among them—even though they were more than four hundred years apart, everyone’s images were lifelike, and even the teacups on the table were steaming. It seems that the moment that has long been frozen in history is happening again now.
If such things existed in previous lives, those historians who stare at the dirt and rummage only to find one or two fragments of writing will surely be moved to tears.
Seeing that there was no danger, one hand let go of him, while the other not only did not let go, but instead slid down, tightly intertwined with his five fingers.
Roland immediately understood who the other party was.
He raised the corner of his mouth, squeezed the catkin in his hand, and moved his gaze to the center of the phantom.
Isabella's activation order is obviously close first and then far away, and the location shown in the illusion has also changed from the escape road to Taquila, and then from Taquila to Falling Star City. Aside from the fact that Akaris is getting younger and younger, the witches who appeared on the stage changed group after group, and it was hard to see even a few familiar faces—no doubt in this protracted and cruel war, the Federation suffered a lot. Huge loss, very few top executives survived until the eve of fleeing.
This is also a flaw in the Witch Empire's own system. The higher the status of those with stronger abilities, it sounds like there is no problem, but when a war breaks out, these high-level leaders have to go to the battlefield to meet the enemy in person, instead of sitting in the rear and directing the overall situation. Roland once heard Agatha say that Akaris advanced to the supernatural in an extremely dangerous battle, and such battles had been experienced many times during her ruling life. In other words, if one is not careful, the history of the Federation... and even the entire human race will have to be rewritten.
This is true for the capital with three seats, let alone other high-level officials?
But in fact, this is very detrimental to the cultivation of leaders-a recruit can transform into a veteran as long as he survives one or two battles and licks a few mouthfuls of blood, but a general needs several battles and the training of thousands of people. Death is the only way to truly mature. Leading the charge is indeed the best way to boost morale, but it is also an option that should only be considered when there is a last resort. If all goes well, even if morale is not boosted, the soldiers will still fight with high morale.
Generals and soldiers are not equivalent - not advisable in the face of an all-out war where people are treated as expendable items.
Roland didn't expect to find any shocking secrets from the seals. The popes of all ages should have repeatedly referred to the contents of these illusions. If there were really records about the origin of the gods, or the nature of the relics of the gods, the church would not be in its current state. Apart from satisfying his curiosity, the purpose of his trip is to learn from history and see if he can gain some experience for himself.
The actual situation was similar to what he had imagined. Most of the scenes recorded on the screen were the scenes of important meetings, ceremonies, and war mobilization. Only in such cases, it was worth using the magic stone seal.
According to Agatha, the sigils that can maintain the effect for a long time are very valuable.
The phantom soon played to the last one—whether it was Acharis or the other two seats, they all disappeared from the image, replaced by a group of elderly witches in various costumes, and the picture was no longer as clear as before.
Agatha snorted lightly, "These people are..."
"The early founder of the federation?" Phyllis asked.
"Who is that?" Roland raised his eyebrows.
"The extraordinary witches who survived the first battle of divine will were the predecessors of the federation they established. Look at the documents on the table. Could this be..." Phyllis was surprised.
"It should be true," Agatha's voice was also full of joy, "I didn't expect to see the famous Three Kings Vow with my own eyes!"
Roland suddenly felt confused, and he tried to look up, but found that the documents were written in magic words, and only witches could understand their meaning.
"Who can explain, what is this oath for?"
"Let me come," Agatha's voice came from the front, "it can be regarded as a symbolic event of the federation's transition from looseness to integration, and it is something that almost every awakened witch must learn. After the end of the war, the union governed by witches was proclaimed, but at that time there were still many voices inside, whether it was the way of ruling ordinary people or the strategy against the devil. This kind of debate continued for many years until the three forces Standing out, becoming stronger and stronger, eventually overwhelmed other lords and city-states, and built an organizational structure that was proposed by many people and ruled by three seats."
"Are they Falling Star City, Taquila, and Anrieta?" Nightingale asked.
"That's right, due to the particularity of these three holy cities, their lords are often titled queens." Agatha replied, "For example, Queen Acharis of Meteor, Queen Nataya of Sunstrider, Queen of Moonlight Eleanor is the last three seats in the federation."
So, Roland thought, for the witches of that era, the Three Kings Pledge was probably as important as the founding of the country, which meant that the Federation had transformed from a pan-alliance organization into a political entity. No wonder Agatha and Fei Liz and others would be so excited. In terms of history, it is also of great significance. Although the federation still ended in failure in the end, there is no three-seat system. I am afraid that the second battle of divine will will only be defeated faster, and there will not be so many futures left. "Fight the devil, restore Taquila" as a witch with a lifelong belief.
It's just that these are not so attractive to him. When he was distracted, Roland turned his attention to the details in the projection - such as the costumes of the witches, the cups, paper and pens used, and the hall. decorations. Since it was hundreds of years away from the time of Acharis, its furnishings were obviously much shabby. Obviously, after the failure of the first battle of divine will, the territories of these witches were still in a state of disuse.
On the wall of the conference hall, he also saw more than ten portraits, among which there were actually two men, who were probably outstanding heroes in the war era.
It can be seen that at that time, the Federation did not completely regard ordinary people as inferior people. Even at such an important meeting, male compatriots could still be seen.
Just when Roland was about to ask Agatha if she knew the names of these people, he suddenly felt his blood froze.
An indescribable chill rose from the soles of his feet and penetrated his spine in an instant. Because the fear was so intense, a series of goosebumps even appeared on his arms, and his fingertips trembled slightly.
"What's wrong?" Anna immediately noticed something was wrong with him.
"That...that painting..." Roland swallowed and said with difficulty.
"painting?"
"The people in the painting...I've seen it before."
It took him a long time to finish the sentence. Although the clarity of the illusion was not as good as before, he could still distinguish the outline of the person in the penultimate painting. It was a middle-aged woman with an unremarkable appearance, long black hair coiled on top of her head, one eye was covered with a blindfold, and she was sitting on a high-backed chair with her hands crossed.
Her appearance is exactly the same as Garcia's master Lan in the dream world!
