Rexall's words are correct.

Before the smoke of creation above his head was lifted, Xia Zuo's area of ​​activity was so large. Any place under the sky was either a temple or a strange demon church.

If Xia Zuo is really convicted of disloyalty by Nie Jingjia during the grand review, there are only two consequences waiting for him.

One is to follow the temple's decree, deprive him of all rights and status, seal all spellcasting abilities, and throw him into a prison in the frozen snowfield to receive life imprisonment.

The second is to take the initiative to hand over the power of blood, become a master alchemist who only knows elemental spells and masters some alchemy, and stays in the designated position until death.

With the help of Golden Finger, how can Xia Zuo resist this harsh punishment?

Slaughter the creatures, recycle vitality, harvest experience, break out of the temple territory, and then be hunted by the temple, turning against your former friends?

Or is it praying that Golden Finger can resist the sealing array of the temple, forcibly retain part of it during the operation to extract the power of blood, and quietly accumulate energy for the prison escape?

Xia Zuo felt that he did not want to see either of the above consequences.

And he didn't think that Rexor was deceiving him.

After witnessing the decision-making process of the two palace meetings, Xia Zuo deeply understood the profound meaning behind the sentence "Classical MZ may become the tyranny of the majority."

(Note: Please note that what is written here is classical MZ, not modern MZ. It specifically refers to the MZ system similar to ancient Athens. The original words are from history textbooks.)

Judging from the experience of participating in the meeting of the two palaces, when the interests of most people can be satisfied by sacrificing one person, voting on something that may be in compliance with the law, or may be contrary to the law or moral principles, will happen without hindrance.

"The truth is exactly the opposite, Xia Zuo." Rexor turned the parchment over and pointed to the text on the back. "Army mages who have obtained fiefdoms do not need to pay any fees to transform the environment. Not only that, if they can cooperate with the temple,

By recycling the shadow energy, the lord will also receive rewards from the temple, mainly material support for building the territory."

If the temple wants to counterattack the Strange Demon Church and seize the land in the Forbidden Magic Field, it must first expand the above four types of mages to at least a thousand people and successfully establish the first base in the Forbidden Magic Field.

Rexor nodded calmly, "It's an honor to gain your trust. It's really not easy. According to the experience summarized by the demon hunting school, a pure-blood mage's caution and isolation are often directly proportional to his true strength.

.Among the pure-blood mages I have met, your caution and isolation can definitely be ranked in the top three. So...are you willing to talk to me about your blood magic?"

After hearing this, Xia Zuo immediately thought of a wise saying: Without guns and running, the enemy will create something for us.

Xia Zuo looked slightly moved, "Permanent fiefdom? Everything on the ground and underground belongs to the lord forever?"

Xia Zuo thought about it for a while and understood one thing:

He glared and said:

"Because the temple lacks shadow energy." Rexor took out another parchment.

Put it on the head of the temple, this sentence becomes: Without shadow energy, the strange demon church will create for us...

This idea of ​​using war to support war sounds indeed feasible.

Xia Zuo looked at Rexor thoughtfully and nodded secretly to express his approval. He was a good choice in terms of virtue, character, experience, etc.

Tsk tsk tsk.

The biggest advantage of the Strange Demon Church is actually not the 1.1 million strange demon army, but the forbidden magic field.

The bald man took out the parchment from his alchemy pocket and spread it on the table. "The Warriors Guild drafted a wartime mobilization order, and this is what you have in front of you. The Strange Demon Church is coming fiercely, with an army of more than 1.1 million Strange Demons.

It is a big stone that weighs on the heart of everyone who knows about it. Although the temple will definitely defeat the Strange Demon Church, this belief still needs to be supported by sufficient military strength."

"Don't play tricks on me, Xia Zuo, I'm a demon hunter, not ZK. I know you know what I mean, and I know you know that I know what you mean.

It is estimated that there are less than 300 mages of the above four categories, and they are completely incapable of becoming popular.

Xia Zuo quietly constructed a plan in his mind by reading the parchments.

"Master, I can trust you completely." Xia Zuo said.

How to quickly expand the capacity of these four types of mages?

"Yes." Xia Zuo nodded.

This time, Xia Zuo successfully avoided the trap with the help of Rexor and Selina, but it may not be the case next time.

And in order to protect himself and avoid being robbed by the two hall meetings, Xia Zuo must set up some secret and reliable back-ups, including but not limited to doing some tricks on the blood magic shared by the hematin servants, or deliberately making it unclear

Certain key matters should be misled without leaving any trace, without leaving any clues or causing any negative impact.

The problem is, if Xia Zuo remembers correctly, the territory of the Strange Demon Church, that is, the inside of the Forbidden Magic Field, should have been severely eroded by the shadow energy of the dark room, right?

Even though the Temple defeated the Strange Demon Church and obtained all of the opponent's territory, it could not change the fact that the land was riddled with holes.

Rexall put the two parchments together and said, "The Temple will attack the territory of the Church of Strange Demons and seize the land, and at the same time extract the shadow energy on the land to imitate the plane device. At the same time, use the manufactured

The plane device consolidates the natural laws of the land, completely erases the cracks and cracks in the dark room, and prevents the counterattack of the Church of Strange Demons. If all goes well, these two things will start at the same time and end at the same time."

But this will only work if the mage army in the temple can advance steadily in the forbidden magic field.

In the early stages of the war, the temple could only adopt a passive defensive posture.

Fortunately, I always think rationally and rarely act emotionally. Xia Zuo nodded secretly and gave himself a thumbs up.

There is nothing wrong with using land as a reward. After all, this is a great battle that affects the life and death of the temple.

Faced with this time-travel situation, Xia Zuo felt somewhat helpless.

Is the big bald head in front of me suitable?

Any military mage who is granted land must spend a lot of money to buy alchemy equipment to improve the ecological environment, hire expensive alchemists and tower mages, and repair his land before it can be officially put into use...

The most critical part lies in the above four types of mages.

"Yes." Rexor nodded, "After getting the information you brought back for Kallus, the tower scholars immediately started researching the internal structure of the energy center. They came to a preliminary conclusion: copying the name

The plane device for [Saguma's Eternal Obsession] requires the use of nine different energies, the largest proportion of which is shadow energy, which happens to be the rarest energy in the temple."

Only in this way will the scale of the war begin to tilt toward the temple, the situation will turn around, and the war phase will enter the mid-term counterattack phase.

On the parchment is a three-dimensional image constructed using illusion magic.

Only when the smoke of creation disappeared and Xia Zuo had the strength to leave this planet and go to other planets did he have the capital to leave the temple.

If he doesn't want to become the target of tyranny, he has to think of a countermeasure:

Taking advantage of his wall-mounted position, he seeks a position in the temple that no one can defeat and no one dares to touch. The ultimate goal is to have a high influence in the meeting between the two temples. When the time comes, Xia Zuo does not need to participate.

Xia Zuo does not express his own opinions when making decisions on routine matters, but when matters involve him and his allies, Xia Zuo must have power similar to a veto.

Because the army mages under his command who can fight in the forbidden magic field are only mages who are proficient in spiritual energy, pure-blood mages who are proficient in blood magic, self-enhancing bloodline power awakeners, and a small group of shadow mages who can control shadow energy.

.

Shadow mages don't have to think about it. Throwing them into the forbidden magic field is equivalent to giving a big gift package to the shadow demon master.

"Why is this?" Xia Zuo asked.

But if this plan is approved by the vote of the two palace meetings, it will be inevitable. No matter how much Kallus himself opposes, it will be useless, because there are many people who want to get his biological materials and the power of his blood.

Start changing the situation by finding reliable allies.

The land ownership situation in the temple territory is a bit similar to Xia Zuo's previous life. All ownership is in the hands of the official. Such things as completely owning a piece of land are unthinkable, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity after traveling through time.

Realized.

After thinking about this, let’s look at the current conversation.

Then there are only two choices for the temple.

There is no need to consider mages who are proficient in psychic energy, because such mages have limited frontal combat capabilities.

Xia Zuo's expression gradually became weird.

This is an unequal war.

But he has to give a suitable price. He is not someone who relies on feelings, emotions and loyalty to give for free.

It's really troublesome... In order to be able to show off publicly and show off to legitimate people, you have to form a gang... This is because the ruler of this world is very powerful and controls almost everything in the territory - the temple.

The mages who rely on the element of light to rule the elite class use laws to bind ordinary mages and ordinary people, while the Church of Strange Demons relies on dark rooms and blood connections.

Xia Zuo was a little hesitant. He wanted to think about which blood magic to reveal.

Rexall said, "There is something you may not know yet."

"Look here again." Rexall's finger moved to another place, "In order to maximize the incentive for non-combat mages to join the army and fight, the Warriors Guild proposed to use the territory of the Strange Demon Church as a reward. Each person who established a prominent

Participants with military merits can exchange for a permanent fiefdom within the territory of the Strange Demon Church after the war is won, relying on the military merits established in the war."

Rexall asked, "Are you worried that after you get the land, you won't be able to afford the cost of improving the environment?"

In this passage, Xia Zuo implicitly revealed that he already knew the temple's intentions, and at the same time put forward some of his demands, hoping to start a bargaining topic.

The cost of repairs is expected to be sky-high, even higher than the value of the land itself.

Xia Zuo scratched his head and asked Rexor his question, "Master, are there any discounts for repairing the land?"

One is the self-enhancement type of those who have awakened the power of blood. The artificial blood project just caters to the needs of expanding the capacity of such mages. However, the research process of this project is relatively slow, and it will take at least a year before there are qualified results.

After reading the wartime mobilization order, he thought about it for nearly a minute, and then he weighed his tone and said:

"Master, do you want to encourage me to join the battle, earn military merit, and get a fief? I admit that I am a little moved, but I also know the cruelty of war. Compared to fighting in person, I feel that I spend more time sitting at the rear.

, and provide support to the front line."

so!
