Chapter 394: The Fall of Mont Blanc (Part 1)

The tragedy of the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation originated from a resource-rich mine, the betrayal of a selfish and despicable man, and a trap set by a despicable god.

I believe that you all still remember that it was mentioned before that the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation at that time was composed of five towns located near the Brown Mountains and scattered villages around them. The leaders of these towns and villages jointly formed a small council to discuss the affairs of the autonomous federation.

Although the decisions of the council were made by voting, the voting rights were mostly controlled by the controllers of the three larger towns, namely the Mont Blanc family in Mont Blanc Town, the Elmond family in Shanfu Town, and the Desmond family in Shanwei Town.

Other villages and towns depend on them for survival and follow their lead.

Among these three families, there are still differences in status and voice, and the reason is that the amount of mineral resources they control is very different.

The ancestors of the Mont Blanc family were the lords of the Brown Mountain area. In the early years when the family was strong, the entire mountain range was owned by them. They even used the name of the mountain range as their surname.

However, the rise and fall of the family is inevitable in the development of history. The division and reunion, the evolution of the political system, the original lord's territory fell apart, and the one-man rule became a deliberative system... But no matter what, the Mont Blanc family has always firmly grasped the largest number of Orichalcum steel veins in the Brown Mountains.

The Elmond family, which occupies the belly of the mountain, only owns a small vein, and the town of Shanwei has nothing.

Therefore, before the fateful negotiation began, fatal differences began to appear within the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation.

At that time, it was different from the ancient times when Zelak was born. Although the wish magic of the ancient times had not been polluted by the evil gods and could be used at will by people with talent, the immature wishes themselves were easy to cause misunderstandings. Anyone who has worked knows how difficult it is to express your needs in the simplest, clearest, and most unmisunderstood sentence.

It took a long time for people in this world to learn to perfect the spell "I need water", which may turn into a flood or a few drops of water, full of uncertainty and self-expression, into "I need 5 liters of edible clean water condensed into a sphere without impurities" - of course, the actual knowledge of magic spells is much more complicated than this, but it is indeed the meaning.

Therefore, in ancient times, only the most daring and talented star-chosen people would constantly adjust the spell under the guidance and help of the world consciousness - this kind of experiment is often accompanied by huge risks. Immature magic often brings life-threatening dangers to the caster and the tribe, so there are very few pioneers who dare to try. If a tribe can pass down a few effective spells in an era, it is already a result that can be recorded in history.

Ironically, when people spent centuries studying and perfecting magic, and finally turned magic into a subject that everyone could use after learning it, the pollution of the evil god began to penetrate into the world's wish magic. Over the years, people who gradually became accustomed to relying on magic developed various mutations, crazy diseases, and even people continued to die.

The Church of Light emerged as a savior at this time. From a small and unknown church, it quickly became a wildfire burning across the wilderness. Before extending its tentacles to the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation, it had already taken most of the territory of the Western Continent.

But its expansion hit a wall in the territory it wanted most.

Taking the objects in the origin world as an analogy, willpower is a 3D printing material that can be melted, restored, and arbitrarily rolled and flattened by mental power: the willpower that is free in the air and invisible is an unused material. It can be gathered and shaped into an actual object with just a little mental power; and the willpower that has been shaped into an object has certain material properties. Only by using a stronger mental power to crush the spiritual core blueprint that condenses the willpower in the material and restore the material to willpower can it be re-condensed and shaped.

——The latter is equivalent to using high temperature or crushing in the origin world to decompose, refine, and reshape waste into useful plastics, metals, or paper.

Therefore, mental power acts on almost all inanimate objects and creatures in this world, it is just a matter of how much mental power is needed. And the problems in the spiritual realm will affect the changes in the real world. Here, madness is not just madness, but a mutation that can change the DNA of organisms.

But the world is so wonderful. There must be an antidote for poisons. There are substances that will mutate under the influence of mental power, and there are substances that are not affected by any mental power.

Orichalcum is such a strange and stable magic-repelling ore. It is more like an ordinary object in the origin world. It is not controlled or affected by any spiritual realm and can only be smelted by physical means. It can invalidate the magic of willpower, so it can be used to make armor, clothing or personal items, and can even resist certain evil god pollution.

Most of the Orichalcum resources in the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation are in the hands of the Mont Blanc family. Therefore, when facing the solicitation and goodwill of the Church of Light, the Mont Blanc family can be said to be fearless - although they do not have holy water, they have Orichalcum. Even if they do not rely on the Church of Light, they have their own means to defend against pollution.

But the Elmond family and the Desmond family naturally did not have such strong confidence. The two families almost quickly turned to the side of the Church of Light. The patriarch of the Elmond family and the mayor of Shanfu Town even offered his next heir, Ai Xu, to make him the son of God chosen by the Church of Light.

The Elmond family became devout believers. Desmond did not believe in God, but cunningly did business with the Church of Light.

Under the constant persuasion of Elmond and Desmond, and even the threat of leading the entire town out of the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation, the Mont Blanc family also loosened up and agreed to negotiate with the envoys sent by the Church of Light.

Desmond's memory started from here.

"Pre-statement," Dort Mont Blanc, the lord of the Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation, said to Desmond in the memory projection: "I only agreed to the negotiation. Both parties sit together and listen to what the other party wants to say. That's all. As for whether to agree or not, or if we have any new ideas, we will talk about it after the negotiation."
