Chapter 366 The Natural Power

As those sealed fuzzy memories gradually recovered, Colin became more and more aware of a fact:
Underworld is not as united as he thought.

Lenz's defeat in Senal was not as simple as losing to the alliance.

All the night people want to continue the blood of the same race. They have the same desire, but there are also differences in ways.The fiasco at Senal was one of the ugly victims of these differences.

That's why Lenz would rather bury the hidden crown completely than let his child fall into the hands of the dark river.

"When you were in Senal, I remember you were on Lenz's side." Colin asked.

Nancy also appeared in that sulfur-smelling village, and had a few encounters with her young self.Most of the people who took refuge in that village were Lenz's subordinates.So, Nancy must know something about what happened back then.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I mentioned "Lenz", Nancy's spiritual eyes seemed to flicker and dim.

The past of Senal is not an easy memory for anyone.

"Yeah...Lentz." Nancy smiled lonely and said:

"It's been a long time since I've heard that name."

Lenz died ten years ago, but this man has been alive forever.The dozens of deaths reported in the Naleh Battle Report hadn't killed him, and now, even real deaths couldn't kill him.Peace has been maintained for ten years, but the Sincilian with no bones left still lives in the hearts of some night people, haunting the deepening cracks in the Dark River Organization.

"Is there anything I should know, Nancy?" Colin asked.Obviously Nancy doesn't want to recall what happened back then.Now that he has to make a choice, Colin must know what he will face.

"..." Nancy closed her eyes and took a deep breath:

"At the beginning of the war, Lenz wanted to support the independence of Senal in exchange for a piece of land that could legally live for the Night People. Even after the royal family of Senal clearly fell to the Heslet family, he did not give up. In the beginning, I had illusions about the Nalethites."

She said briefly:

"However, the upper-level clan association in the dark river has always believed that as long as the Anhe alliance is not completely destroyed, the night people will never have the possibility to return to live in the sun."

Therefore, a small piece of land where you can live safely has no meaning at all.

Any attempt to compromise, negotiate, or even maintain peace with the Allies will be seen as a betrayal of the night folk.

Listening to Nancy's words, Colin took a breath. There are serious differences between Lenz and the clan, and each has attracted a lot of followers. This situation will definitely ignite a fire in the dark river. fight.

What happened after that is not hard to guess.

The progress of history has confirmed the judgment of the dark river clan step by step, and Lenz is still too naive.After begging for mercy from the alliance, the Senalite royal family tore up the promise that was unreliable from the beginning, and bit back at the night people who had helped them.

However, when Lenz was besieged by the alliance and the Senalese royal family, the upper clans also did not lend a helping hand.

They did nothing to help their fellow countrymen fall into danger, and eventually led to the tragedy of Lenz and a large number of nightfolk in the unnamed valley.

Regardless of the process, Lenz's faction was completely damaged in Senal, and the few remnants like Nancy, after being given an impossible mission, were exiled to almost no Supported "Frontier Lands".

"...So the members of the Dark River currently active in Danaro are all members of the Lenz faction?" Colin asked.

"Almost, they are all people who followed him through life and death." Nancy said:
"But after the war in Naleh, there are no 'Lenze factions' in the world. After all, everyone in the dark river has understood that it is impossible to survive peacefully... We old people who have retreated from the Naleh front They have also let go of their previous obsessions, but there are still a little doubts in the deepest part of their hearts."

With a little doubt, Nancy paused, smiled wryly and said:
"It was indeed us who were wrong back then, but why did the Clan Association do this?"

It wasn't until now that Colin understood the situation of himself and Nancy in the dark river.

As the "remnant of Lenz", Nancy will probably not be able to leave here for the rest of her life if she fails to complete the mission of capturing the Duchy of Edmond.

And as a direct blood relative of Lenz, I am afraid that the upper layers of the dark river will not be very friendly to him.

However, as long as the hidden crown of Bod Ives is still attached to him, no matter what dissatisfaction there is behind the scenes of any "clan association" in the dark river, they can only talk about cooperation honestly.

So the top priority is to figure out the power of the pale earth as much as possible.

Nancy planned to use the crown to fight the crown ten years ago. It was undoubtedly a reckless gamble, and I am afraid that at most it was less than half sure.

But judging from the situation in Gallo Hall, maybe she really made the right bet.

…………

…………

The days after returning to the safe house were still long and boring, but thanks to these hours, Colin had the opportunity to calm down and think about the nature of Boyd Elvis' power.

In front of wizards, the crown has absolute oppressive power, which is the consensus of everyone.

The out-of-control Bod Avis could easily kill several of Blue Star No. [-] and No. [-] spies, but even so, she still seemed extremely small in front of the Bird of Light.Therefore, it is difficult for Colin to imagine what it would be like if the Holy Spirit of the Tree Crown used its power directly on mortals.

Even those great wizards who live in the dark sky probably have a hard time confronting them directly.

Boyd Ives is already very strong, but compared with the Bird of Light, his suppression of wizards is still much weaker.Perhaps it was because she had been inactive for thousands of years before returning to this world. She is obviously too weak now. Even with the terrifying performance in Gallo Hall, there should be many wizards in the world who can use their own strength to confront her. counterbalanced.

Even in Colin's memory alone, there is more than one such person.For example, the mammoth who rules the theater, McBride.With his ability to severely injure Nancy within a few seconds, he should not be much inferior to the out-of-control Pale Land.

There is also the "number one traitor" Zal Winter who is even more ignorant... the inner god practitioner who claims to cut off all umbilical cords.The oppressive force that Colin felt on him even faintly surpassed that of Bond Ives.

That is to say, compared with other gods, the goddess' power in the face of mortals is unqualified, and even, it can be said that she is somewhat unworthy of her "crown" status.

But when she faced the Bird of Light, things were completely different.

"Are you better at restraining gods than dealing with mortals?" Colin muttered to himself.

In other words, restrain all things that come from oneself and return them to their original owners.

The earth is the gate of birth where the sun rises in the east, and the gate of death where the sun sets in the west.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

In an era farther back than the desolate joint burial of humans and animals, another funeral custom was spread across the vast land. People used erected bottles or altars to accommodate the dead, and the bones were placed upside down in a small dark container, with their limbs curled up. , head down, posture like an unborn fetus.For in the oldest imaginations death is not the opposite of life, but an integral step in the circle of life, the great return.

So it is her irresistible duty to take back everything she bestowed on the gods.

It is also a natural right.
