Chapter 1,636 Ezio’s Choice
It is easy to understand that the army is returning to the empire, each looking for its own mother. But moving forward, there were also abnormal movements of the airship troops, but it was hard to understand.
In the northern battlefield of the Wind Emperor Mountains, the Haider Empire is to the south and the Gate of the Abyss is to the north. Airships flying in the sky have no restrictions on waterway rights in Lost Land.
Unless there are special circumstances, such as a large-scale environmental curse in the Fengdi Mountains, everyone will just walk in a straight line. Even if the directional judgment ability is not good enough and the target is not heading straight, it still does not mean that the north and the south are indistinguishable.
Therefore, the movement of the airship troops proves that the top management of the two empires do not simply deorganize and reorganize the troops, but also have other ideas.
As one of the generals during the war, Ezio maintained a good relationship with the old Duke Kawei. The unit's action plan and purpose could be known with a little prying. Besides, these things are not considered secrets, and of course they are not hidden from everyone.
The three regular legions of the Gwana Empire and all the airship troops on the battlefield of the Haider Empire will go to the Gate of the Abyss to assist in the construction of the city and station themselves there!
But if you want to inquire about specific things, you will be refused to let go on the grounds of confidentiality.
The person who came into contact with Ezio was the vassal of the Carvey family, and was also the main person who contacted Ezio when he commanded the airship Twin Griffin.
He made it clear that the old Grand Duke wanted to prevent outsiders from affecting the army and their actions, so he strictly ordered confidentiality and isolation measures.
Selecting part of the information to be disclosed to the public carries a strong warning. It's like saying: The empire is doing its business, and no one else should be disturbed. The purpose is also told to everyone, just like saying: If you don’t accept it, come and do it.
In short, if Ezio wanted to know more in-depth things, he could only ask the old man in person. The old man said it was not a leak, but if others did, they would be dragged out and beheaded. Things are so double-standard.
Of course, Ezio didn't bother the old man who was so busy these days. Don't think that after announcing the disbandment of the troops, the coalition commander will be fine. All kinds of aftermath, chores, and matters related to dealing with nobles can be dealt with in one time. You can be as busy as you want.
Let's talk about the army going to the Gate of the Abyss. Now that the purpose is known, if we continue to understand it in depth, it will be nothing more than the details of the army establishment, the defensive layout of the city, etc. Ezio didn't care much about this part, so of course there was no need to ask.
As someone who knew the truth but chose to help hide it, Ezio certainly knew what the difficulty was in this whole matter.
It is nothing more than trying to dominate or control all this from a human standpoint; precisely this is impossible. Then the next best thing is to at least be able to stand in a supervisory position. And this was the result of the compromise between the two empires.
Although he didn't know how much he guessed correctly, Ezio believed that this was the most reasonable explanation. It is of course used in this place to persuade everyone.
So Ezio explained to everyone: "I believe that the two empires must have considered similar situations. So they sent legions to guard around the magic tower. When necessary, this army can also afford the first-line early warning and Defense mission. Without this level of protection, it would be impossible for the two empires to agree to assist the magician in building the tower."
"But..." one participant in the discussion spoke up. "If what you said about the ninth power has nothing to do with the Gate of the Abyss. That door can actually be closed and it won't affect anything. Then why do we have to open a portal over there so that the devil can have Opportunity to invade?”
Although Ezio did not gather all the people who were temporarily hanging out with him for discussion. But there were quite a few leaders gathered, and of course no one was restricted from asking questions. That's why some people raised doubts.
Ezio did not shy away from questions. Instead, he raised a rhetorical question from another angle and said: "Then if this matter is true, the ninth power will definitely open a ninth door between the land of confusion and the abyss. This means that we have forcibly closed the door we have discovered now." This door is bound to have another one open somewhere, and then the war we have experienced will be fought again. Is this better? "
This rhetorical question silenced everyone. From the standpoint of ordinary people, they do not have many conditions to verify which statement is true.
In fact, what they don't know is that even the group of beings who are leading all this do not dare to be 100% sure that this method is effective...
Ezio looked at everyone's silence and continued: "If the things about the Ninth Power are true, and we want to close the door to the abyss, then the only way is to kill those who have the opportunity to achieve the Ninth Power. That god is the bank lady. Can you imagine that the various functions of the bank are no longer available, or are controlled by private hands like they were more than ten years ago?"
Banks were privatized and made large-scale loans for profit. Debt forced countless people to breathe, and finally a German government decree was issued.
Don't look at how many private banks have had their capital chains cut off and eventually collapsed under the German government order. Depositors also lost all their money, and the immature financial market of Midi was directly crippled.
It’s not just the people involved who have lost their money or their credibility. Even people who were not directly related were affected. It can be said that no one is a winner in Lost Land, all are losers.
It can be said that in order to stop the ninth door of the abyss from opening continuously, the idea of moving the goddess of gold coins is not feasible.
Let’s just talk about how much money the Goddess Kingdom of Gold Coins has saved. If the true God Slaughter is successful, can the money be returned to the original depositor?
Based on this alone, there will be countless opponents. The reason is very simple. Those who have the ability to kill gods must be those from the empire or super powerful men. Even if they really succeed, everything in the country will definitely become a spoil of war...
It is better to expect these strong men or empires to spit out what they have swallowed than to expect the sun to rise from the west tomorrow, which has a better chance of happening. So to speak of the Goddess of Gold Coins is almost like making the entire Lost World an enemy!
Then Ezio asked another question and said: "If everyone can't tolerate this ninth door, have you ever thought about how to deal with the first eight doors? What if each fixed door of the abyss is connected to a powerful person?" It is related to the Lord, so once a certain door of the abyss is opened, it will be like declaring war with the eight Lords of Power at the same time. How to fight then? Who has such ability? You? It is impossible for me. Let me start with good."
"Well...maybe..." Someone with a tough tongue wanted to find a reason. But he hesitated for a long time, unable to come up with a single word.
At this time, someone suggested: "Ezio, don't you guys in the Brotherhood have a close relationship with that magician? Since he can easily solve the trouble of this abyss invasion, he can solve the second time. Why don't you call him Verify once that after the door of the abyss is closed, another door will inevitably open in another place. If things really develop like this, then he will use the magic tower to act as the guardian of the door of the abyss. I believe More people will be able to accept it. Isn’t that right?”
"Ha, you think too highly of us." Ezio and a group of fraternity friends all showed wry smiles.
Then Ezio said seriously: "That magician is not something we can instruct. I believe you will have such an idea, and you will not be satisfied with just making suggestions but the magician is unwilling to implement them."
"But let me tell you, the point of this whole thing is not actually the issue of whether the damn door is closed or not, but that the magic tower will be controlled by the magician. This is what those big shots are doing Reasons for objection.
"If today the dominance of the Magic Tower of the Gate of the Abyss is handed over to the Magician Association, do you think there will still be these objections? Just look at the current trend on the forum and you will know who the main opponents are. people."
The two major empires took the lead and clearly expressed their opposition to a certain magician controlling the Twin Towers of the Gate. None of them belonged to the noble lord class. What is quite surprising is that even the Suli Tang Empire, where the Gate of the Abyss is located, to which it belongs, did not say anything.
The group of people who shouted the loudest were all magicians, not surprisingly. And if you look closely at their backgrounds, they are all elders or powerful figures in magician associations in various places.
"In this case, why not ask the magician to hand over the control?" There was such a voice in the crowd.
Suddenly, the speaker attracted everyone's attention. Although there are no legal provisions such as 'personal property is sacred and inviolable', Midi also knows one thing. If you want to rob others, it mainly depends on your strength.
The robot fleet that destroyed the allied forces of demons and the underground world in one go is still hovering over everyone's heads. Guess who the magician will be willing to compromise with? The old guys who wanted to go to the Gate of the Abyss to protest were all shot to death. Guess who is robbing whom now?
No one was too lazy to reply to such an opinion, and Ezio asked everyone again: "I want to ask, who controls that magic tower, and does it have anything to do with you?"
A group of people looked left and right, looking at each other.
Ezio said: "What we want is to seal the door of the abyss so that demons cannot invade in large numbers. So no matter whether the door is closed or blocked, or blocked by who, for us Is it important?"
"It seems...indeed...it's really not that important." Someone said not so confidently.
"Yeah. Since it's not important, then why should we respond to the call of those magicians with selfish motives and fight to the gate of the abyss to confront that magician and those ghosts in the sky who don't know where they come from? , and you may even have to confront the bank lady. If you think your life is too long, just go ahead, I will not object or stop you. Anyway, I will not do such a stupid thing. "
Ezio came to a conclusion and spoke decisively. But he didn't prohibit others from doing anything, and he didn't want to get involved in such nonsense. Anyway, he has already said everything that needs to be said. If someone wants to die, if he tries to pull him away, he will get complained, so it is better to watch a show.
Speaking of Ezio's character, he has the courage to do his duty in the face of big right and wrong. For example, preventing the invasion of the abyss, defeating demons, etc.
But when it comes to small things in daily life, his character is just like that of a certain magician, a bit bad. He will say what needs to be said, but after he says it, it is not up to him whether others listen or not, even if someone dies as a result.
In short, this guy is not a good person. And Midi does not pay attention to human rights, to the extent that various holy mothers are wreaking havoc.
