The whistling wind and dust covered the river and land, and the endless wilderness extended to the distant horizon. In the sky, a pitch-black scorching sun burned continuously, illuminating the land and the sacred and dignified Monarch City.
Lothric.
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
The entire London was dragged into the seal by Fangzheng, which was why every magician in London was shocked by this change.
"W-What are you trying to do?"
Standing under the city gate, Ermero II looked at the red ponytail, clenched his fists, and asked in a low voice. Fangzheng chuckled, raised the greatsword in her hand, and pointed it at the clock tower.
"I'm the representative of the Thousand Worlds Tree, the young magician, Red Ponytail."
The young lady's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly penetrated the barrier and resounded in everyone's ears.
"Now, on behalf of the Thousand Worlds Tree, I officially declare war on the Magic Association and the Clock Tower. Monarchs of the 12 families who control the Clock Tower and the Magic Association, your era is over. Your ideals have disappeared. For the world, for the future and survival of mankind, we, the Thousand Worlds Tree, will declare war on the Magic Association! We will eliminate everyone's Magic Runes and destroy the Clock Tower! From now on, magicians will live for their roots. The era of relying on Magic Runes and family forces to obtain supreme status is over! Brand new magic, brand new rules, and brand new order — — will be decided by us, the Thousand Worlds Tree! "
What?!
Hearing the voice, almost all the magicians were shocked. They looked at each other and didn't know how to react for a while.
Of course, many magicians knew that the Thousand Worlds Tree and the Magic Association had fallen out once again. But deep in their hearts, they instinctively thought that this was just another power struggle between the Thousand Worlds Tree and the Clock Tower.
It was just like overthrowing a ruler and becoming a king. Such a thing wasn't uncommon to most magicians, so they didn't take it to heart.
But now, they finally understood the Thousand Worlds Tree's thoughts.
They didn't want to become a king.
They wanted to abolish this system entirely!
In particular, Fangzheng also said "Eliminate Magic Engraving", which made the magicians even more shocked.
They were serious!
If the Thousand Worlds Tree didn't mention this, then it would be fine. However, the Magic Engraving was the foundation of the Magician world. It had been passed down for 2,000 years. And the Thousand Worlds Tree actually wanted to eliminate it — this meant that they really wanted to overturn the world!! This was completely subverting the core of the Magicians!
So, how should they choose?
"Don't joke around …"
Although some magicians were still hesitant and had a wait-and-see attitude, it was absolutely intolerable for some people.
Accompanied by ghost-like figures, several figures appeared in front of the door of the Clock Tower of Time. The leader was an old man in a suit. He was hunched over and looked like he was about to die. Not far from him was a sturdy man and an old woman in a luxurious gown.
They were the twelve rulers of the Clock Tower of King's Descent.
"Ignoring our 2,000 years of accumulated history, you want to completely overthrow this world? How could I allow you to do such a thing …!! "
"We don't need your permission to do anything."
Fangzheng stood on the city gate and looked coldly at the twelve rulers opposite him.
"This is not a negotiation, not a negotiation, not a compromise. This is war. You, and everything you represent, are not suitable for this era. So, we think … "
With that said, Fangzheng emphasized the word "we."
"You should withdraw from this stage, old fogies."
"Don't joke around, kid!"
The old man gripped his cane tightly. The ghostly aura on his body almost spread out.
"This is our world, our clock tower, our magic! Do you really think you can change all of this with the new era? I don't know what you obtained from the Holy Grail War, but … if you want to threaten us with it … "
"This is not a threat."
When Fangzheng said that, he snapped his fingers.
"I said, this is a revolution, a war."
A loud roar sounded.
Dozens of huge metal warships descended from the sky. They were pitch-black, and their huge cannons slowly rotated, aiming at the clock tower and its ancillary buildings. Rays of light flashed, and dozens of heroic spirits descended from the sky and appeared on the city wall.
The pinnacle of science and the pinnacle of mystery all appeared here at this moment.
"… … …"
At this moment, even the rulers of the clock tower could no longer remain calm.
"Why did you learn magic?"
Fangzheng looked at the Sovereigns on the Clock Tower of Time and asked coldly.
"Pursue the source? But have you done it? No, you haven't. Of course, pursuing the source may be your goal. But that doesn't mean it's the goal of all magicians. You've grasped the source like a carrot and made other magician families work for you, but what's the result? What you're pursuing is still an illusion. The only thing you can guarantee is the power and authority of your families. To put it bluntly, pursuing the source is just a pretense of the Magic Association … but what you're doing is meaningless to this world. "
Having said that, Fangzheng shrugged.
"Science can create power comparable to the ancient gods."
As he spoke, Fangzheng pointed at the warship above his head.
"And mystery can bring about unimaginable changes."
Having said that, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the Heroes beside him. Then, he pointed at the distant monarch.
"Then, what about you? Magicians? You deceive the world to your heart's content, but what do you bring? Deceiving yourselves? Fighting for power, money, and desires? Pursuing the source? No, it should be said that only you twelve rulers can pursue the source. If the other families do the same, will you be happy? Will you support them? "
With that said, Fangzheng sneered.
"Magicians will do anything to reach the source? Haha, in that case, let me introduce you to someone. "
Following Fangzheng's words, the heroic spirits around him stepped aside. Then, a petite figure walked out from behind. She had golden hair, azure eyes, and fair skin. She wore a blue and white dress and looked like a cute girl that could be found anywhere.
However, the expressions of the twelve rulers changed the moment they saw the girl.
"That, that's …"
That's right, they saw the glow on the girl. That was the goal they had been pursuing, the goal they had been searching for!
The goal that magicians hoped to reach with all their might was right there!
"How is it? Do you see it? This is what you've been hoping for. So, what are you going to do now? "
Fangzheng grinned as he looked at the Sovereigns opposite him. At this moment, the Sovereigns didn't say a word. They just stared at the young girl. After a while, the sturdy man next to him asked.
"How … How did you do it? How did you do it? "
"You mean the source?"
Hearing the man's question, Ai Ge smiled and put a finger to her lips.
"There's no need to do anything special, because I've been there since I was born."
"…"
Hearing this, the twelve rulers fell silent again.
But unlike before, this time, there was a hint of … despair in the silence.
That's right.
What countless magicians yearned for, for some people, was there since birth. There was no mysterious magic, no engraving of the past, and even the bloodline was not that old.
But her birth was the source.
What could you do?
So what if you had a noble bloodline? So what if your magic engraving was powerful? So what if you had power? Two thousand years of accumulation, the sacrifices of countless magicians, their beliefs, beliefs, and creeds were like a joke in front of the Love Song of Sand Strips.
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Suddenly, the sturdy man burst into laughter. He did not care about his image at all. It was a laugh of mockery, a laugh of despair.
"Hahahaha, this is ridiculous! This is ridiculous! Centuries of accumulation, the obsession of countless magicians, we've done everything and sacrificed so much. But it's not as good as having a good daughter? Hahahahaha!!! Then what are we? What are we magicians?!! "
The sturdy man roared angrily towards the end of his sentence. No one knew who he was asking this question to.
Was he asking himself, Fangzheng, or the world?
The sturdy man did not seem to want to hear the answer. After laughing, he turned around in a daze and stumbled towards the door like a drunkard.
"Where are you going?"
The old man stared at the sturdy man's back and asked in a low voice.
"Home."
However, the sturdy man completely ignored the old man's murderous gaze and answered in a muffled voice as if he was drunk.
"Trabellio, from now on, leave the Clock Tower of Time. I finally understand that magic, power, and engraving are all bullsh * t. If I have the time to fool around with you, I might as well find a few more women to have children with. Maybe I can even give birth to a 'Root', hahahaha. "
"…"
The crowd did not know what to say to the sturdy man's self-deprecating speech. They could only watch him leave the Clock Tower of Time.
Seeing this scene, the old lady also sighed.
"Balletta has also left."
After saying this, the old woman also walked out of the Clock Tower of Time.
Following the departure of the two, another two kings chose to leave. Now, there were less than a handful of kings left in the Clock Tower of Time.
Fangzheng was not surprised by this. This time, he came to destroy the Clock Tower of Time with full preparation. The obsession of magicians towards the 'Root' was unstoppable. Although he could use the heroic spirits and warships to defeat the Clock Tower of Time, he could not stop them from pursuing the 'Root'.
In that case, he might as well use the ultimate bomb and destroy them psychologically.
No one was more suitable for this job than Allegra.
She herself was the 'Root'.
However, this' Root 'was not intentional. Although Allegra's father was a magician, his marriage and children were no different from other magicians. There was no special magic, no ceremony, and no consideration based on blood or other aspects.
It was just a simple marriage and a child.
It was that simple.
However, it was that simple that he had accomplished something that countless magicians could not do in two thousand years.
What was this called?
Sarcasm.
Mockery.
Despair.
Allegra was just standing there. She was denying the existence of magicians.
Two thousand years of hard work and sacrifice was not as good as giving birth to a good daughter.
Then why do we still need to learn magic? Let's all start a harem together.
Trammelio and Baluyetta chose to leave, while Animsfia and Ermero chose to side with the Thousand Worlds Tree. Adding the two Sovereigns who followed Trammelio and Baluyetta, half of the twelve Sovereigns had left. Currently, the old man was the leader of the Sovereigns, and there were only five of them left.
However, they still did not say anything. It was not because they were hesitating, but because they were waiting.
Waiting for the arrival of the true ruler of the Clock Tower.
"Interesting," a sharp female voice rang out.
Then, Fangzheng saw a woman with long brown hair and a single ponytail in noble attire stride out of the Clock Tower. She held a horsewhip in one hand and stared unwaveringly at the woman with the red ponytail.
"I thought you were a madman who had the guts to come to the Clock Tower to cause trouble. Now it seems that you do have the strength to match."
"So?"
"Indeed …"
The woman glanced at Allegra beside Fangzheng and retracted her gaze.
"As a magician, perhaps that is true. Two thousand years of searching and exploration have not been completely fruitless. However … "
The woman tightened her grip on the horsewhip.
"Perhaps the Clock Tower will be destroyed one day, but with just you lot? Want to destroy the nobles? Overthrow the nobles? With just you lot? Want to overthrow the ruler? What kind of audacity was that? What insolence! "
"I'm sorry."
Fangzheng raised the greatsword in his hand.
"In my country, I believe that kings, marquises, and generals are better than each other. A person's bloodline and the bloodline of a family cannot determine their status, ability, and future. Today, I'm here, in the name of the Thousand Worlds Tree, to lead these magicians of the new era to sweep you parasites into the garbage heap of history! You may think that your bloodline is superior, but in my eyes, you're no different from a woman standing on the street to solicit customers. "
"Very well."
Hearing this, the woman's face was as cold as ice.
"I, Balthmero Loleilei, will here, in the name of the Balthmero Family, completely destroy you bunch of arrogant and disrespectful people!"
"Let's see if you have the ability to do so!"
Fangzheng suddenly swung his greatsword.
"Blue Fleet, Fifth Assault Fleet, fire!"
The next moment, a dazzling beam of light whizzed out of the muzzle and blasted mercilessly at the Clock Tower in front of them.
