Chapter 14 Lord of Logos (13)
"First, suppose the curse you said exists-I am assuming. Although I still doubt this, the discussion cannot begin if I deny it. Then, assuming that curse exists, we can infer the conditions that trigger it based on known conditions."
After destroying the facilities around the city again, Ella talked about her thoughts to Amy and Draguère.
"First of all, the place where the curse can be triggered. According to the current information, it is reasonable to assume that it is within the territory of the Qiqiu Empire. Then examine the situation where the curse has not been triggered. Ibn Sinana used magic to destroy the temple and killed the priests that night, but the curse did not happen. Gregori used magic to kill Jabir on Antilia in the Qiqiu Empire, and the curse did not happen, that is, they could use magic normally in the Qiqiu Empire. Draguè, you said that the temple would shine, and the apostles would retreat. When would the temple shine?"
"It is usually during war," said Drague. "I am in Delphi and I don't know the specific situation on the front line. But every time it is during war, and once the temple shines, the front line will soon receive good news."
Ella suddenly raised her ears: "Every time I send you good news? Are you sure?"
"Confirm, is there anything strange about this?"
"Of course it's strange. Because there are not only the apostles in the terrible places of the Tianfang Empire, but also their powerful army. Except for the apostles and priests, everyone else in the Tianfang Empire can't magic. It's hard to imagine that ordinary people like me will be subjected to such a strange curse - Amy, I still think the statement of cursing is a bit far-fetched."
"Your Majesty, you forgot that there is a god guardian in the magic system of our Seven Hills Empire who is specifically responsible for cursing." Amy tried to correct Ella's absurd thoughts, "What's so strange about ordinary people being cursed!"
"Gu...Okay, then continue to assume that this curse exists. Since the army of the Tianfang Empire will also be affected, the effect of the curse is definitely not to reduce the magic power - reducing the magic power cannot weaken their combat power and ensure victory, right?"
"Um."
"This is another strange place. If the curse reduces the magic power of the apostle to a very low level, it would be fine. But since it is not a reduction of magic power, the Qiqiu Empire and the Tianfang Empire have been fighting for thousands of years, but I don't know that there is a powerful enemy like the apostle on the opposite side. Could it be that the apostle has never used magic in front of the army once?"
"I understand, the triggering condition is to face the army! Look at that son of god also failed in the war!" Amy suddenly realized and hammered his palm, "The elf level is a fortress on the battlefield. Even if a big elves have an army of ten thousand people, it is difficult for the big elves to defeat - the evaluation of magic level is related to performance on the battlefield. Even if a powerful force is shown in front of a small group of people, as long as they cannot be used when facing the army, they will not be considered a powerful magician!"
"No, Amy, you forgot that the apostle used magic on our army. That time, he transferred our fleet directly from the Seven Hills Empire to Antilia. Unlike war, the magic of that time was acquiesced by my uncle and the army."
"Well...Is it necessary to use magic in an adversarial manner to trigger the curse?"
"But this transfer almost destroyed the fleet of the Seven Hill Empire!" Ella said, "This is the third strange place. According to Paracelsus, the curse should be a very subjective thing. Even if the Seven Hill Empire is completely unaware of it, the curse exists for the magicians of the Tianfang Empire. According to this statement, it is irrelevant to whether the Seven Hill Empire has discovered that the apostle's plan is simply irrelevant. As long as the apostle knows that he is going to destroy the other party's fleet, the curse should be applied - Amy, Draguè. Even if there are so many strange places, do you still think that this curse exists?"
"Why do you always say such strange things? Ibn Sina himself said he was going to lift the curse!" Draguè shouted, "And if there was no curse, how would you explain the apostles' performance on the battlefield?"
"What the enemy knows may not be correct." Ella responded lightly, "And, Draguè, don't you think it was the temple protecting the Seven Hills Empire at first, and then you changed your words and said it was a curse?"
Draguè was asked by Ella again and couldn't speak.
"But, at least two points are true," Ella continued, "first, whether it is a curse or something else, the apostles did not show any good performance when facing the army of the Seven Hills Empire. Secondly, even if the curse does not exist, we cannot let Ibn Sina go back to life and must defeat him before this. Therefore, we must transfer the army here and let them stop Ibn Sina!"
"So you have been turning me into a dragon to attack Delphi around these days!" Draguer suddenly realized, "You want to use me to lead the siege here!"
"That's right!" Ella said proudly, "Although I have not mobilized the power of the Qiqiu Empire's army now, there are many ways to make other people's army work for me - it hurts! Draguè, why are you doing stepping on my toes?"
"It's all your fault for your bad idea. Now Delphi people say I'm a dragon! I've obviously been a good dragon who is a scheming person in the past thousand years! A good dragon!"
Draguè snorted, turned his head and left. Ella hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the Governor's Office in the Illyria region and see where the crusades have gone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Draguè's figure disappeared from the horizon.
"Draguère is really eager to avenge her sister." Looking at the empty horizon, Ella sighed, "Amy, do you know who I remember when I see her?"
Amy replied, "Your Majesty, I guess...you think of yourself?"
"Yes, after I learned that my father and mother were killed, I was anxious to go to war with the Tianfang Empire. I knew that the Tianfang Empire was very powerful, but I just wanted to take revenge. Now thinking about it, this is probably one of the reasons why my uncle wanted to rush me to step down."
As he said that, Ella turned unconsciously to Constantineer's direction and looked at the distant horizon that had emerged from God.
"Amy, I really want to go back to Constantinier to see..."
Amy smiled bitterly and deliberately changed the subject: "Your Majesty, how long will it take for the siege army to come here?"
"At most ten days, the Illyria Field Army is a team mainly composed of cavalry, and it is in a developed territory with strong mobility."
Ella was doing calculations in her mind. It only took more than half a month to go after her plan. The Illyria field army was going to arrive at Delphi before Ibn Sina became a human body, and the time should be more than enough.
However, that night, Draguè rushed back with a strange expression.
