The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 68: Fool’s War
Chapter 1000 Fool’s War
"...But if there are many women in white robes, I have almost never seen them now."
Annan raised his own question: "At least there are none here in King Noah's capital. There are some in Winter, but not many."
"How come there isn't?"
Issac smiled: "You see those hospitals with sheep horn decorations at the door. Those are actually opened by women in white robes. Because the 'Medicine Girl' was a sheep before she became a god. This is A sacred symbol. Another name commonly used by the white-robed woman is 'Medicine Girl's Follower-Aries Girl'.
"You don't know the existence of women in white robes, not because they don't pursue fame at all... but because Noah and Winter generally reject wizards and extraordinary people.
"In this case, they will become the 'priests of medicine girls'. Even so, they will not be too public. And after all, they are girls with quiet personalities, and they still have to hire people for many menial jobs. They are here to do it. In this case, they usually take control of the overall situation as 'vice dean' or 'advisor'.
"The United Kingdom and the Underground City are relatively resistant to priests. At this time, they will transform into 'wizards born in the White Jade Tower'. These are all so that they can treat illnesses and save people with peace of mind without involving a lot of trouble. Just a modification.
"It can even be said that all hospitals have the inheritance of the White-robed Girl to a greater or lesser extent. Either the chief physician is a student of the White-robed Girl, or a believer of the Medicine Girl, or their ancestor or ancestor came from the White-robed Girl. I learned from the woman. Because the medical skills of the white-robed woman can be traced back to the desert era of the Second Age... It is a legacy that lasts longer than the civilization of the Yaselan people.
"...Of course, and another reason why you can't find the Aries girl is because today's white-robed girls are expressly prohibited from participating in any form of adventure and war. And you are all more...noisy. ”
"Why is this?"
Annan really doesn’t understand this.
Logically speaking, if there were field doctors, the loss of personnel should be much less.
The Misty Continent itself is sparsely populated and narrow. The more people you can retain, the less strength you will lose.
"Because this will prolong the war."
Issac looked helpless: "Speaking of which, in your era, you hardly know what happened in the Wizarding War, right? I don't think you know...why the White Jade Tower is so weak, but Wasn't it annexed by other wizard towers?"
"I really don't know."
Annan nodded: "The Wizarding War...that is, the surviving records of the Great Unification Era are simply fewer than the **** battles after the collapse of the Great Barrier. Not only do I not know, Salvatore doesn't know much either. ."
"This happens to have something to do with the women in white robes. Women in white robes do not have to learn from the White Jade Tower - this is a job transfer method that only women in white robes have. They only need to master enough medical knowledge, And finally, after advancing in the White Jade Tower, you can automatically change your job to a white-robed woman... This is a new job optimized by generations of tower owners after trying to reduce the need for job transfers.
"And this leads to a result...that is, after the Unification War began, wizards from all places, schools, and professions can find white-robed women to assist in fighting.
"The healing ability of the woman in white robe is quite powerful, but this greatly prolongs the war. The war of unification must have a result in the end... So soon, the civil war intensified.
"In the beginning, various schools of thought began to develop techniques that were 'not so easy to treat'. The black fire of Zedi Black Tower was developed at this time... Once attached to the black fire, the skin of the whole body will be continuously and rapidly treated. If you want to treat a patient injured by black fire, you need to spend five times or more magic power than treating a normal wizard."
Issac sighed: "I didn't expect it. Now used as fuel for internal combustion engines, the energy that brings about the development of science and technology... In the past, it was only an alchemical weapon created to make people suffer more. This is even The technology developed by Zedi Black Tower - Zedi Black Tower was also famous as a good person back then.
"Think about it, if the Zedi Black Tower is so crazy, what will happen to the other wizard towers."
"...What was the civil war about?"
Annan asked doubtfully: "I only know that the final result is that the various spell casters in the past era finally completed the unification of schools. All spells were classified into eight major schools."
Before that, different wizards had only one core profession as their inheritance. In addition to this... there are a large number of new professions from the private sector.
For example, the basis of the Hands of Winter's abilities comes from Ice Vein Warlock and Silence Warlock. And this is pretty much where the incapacitation school comes from.
"It was a... very stupid war."
Issac pursed his lips: "I don't know how the wizards of your era view this war. But in my time, the wizarding civil war actually had another name...
"It's called the 'Fool's War'."
He was silent for a while and then continued: "You can simply think that this is a war to 'compete for the wizard tower' and 'protect one's special status'. Many schools of spellcasters have no The Wizard Tower has the 'Knowledge Record' ability by default, which becomes easily lost.
"In the previous era, spell casters from 'high towers' were much nobler than 'plain casters'. People would also trust these tower casters more and think that their level would be higher. ——Of course, this is indeed the case as far as the lower limit is concerned.
“At that time, many folk spellcasting professions were more like liars and magicians than wizards. The wizard tower generally had contact with the local governor and would order spellcasters within the range to register in time.
"Of course the spellcasters were not convinced... This was a conflict that had arisen even from the era of spell energy. A very serious enmity formed between the two sides until a spark triggered a war.
"The Tower Wizard hopes to eliminate those 'tricksters who affect the wizard's reputation', while more folk spellcasters believe that this is the beginning of the Tower Wizard's elimination of dissidents. This then evolved into a war to 'capture the Wizard Tower'.
"Because the Wizard Tower is absolutely fair and indifferent. Each Wizard Tower has its own inheritance method... As long as a person who meets the inheritance criteria enters the Wizard Tower, he will be selected as the son of the tower. And the son of the tower can Kill the tower lord.
“Once you become the master of the tower, you can directly take away control of the wizard tower. It is easy to kill or expel the original tower wizard.
“But folk inheritance is naturally weak and incomplete. In order to capture the wizard tower, many schools have connected with each other and merged together. Trying to create outstanding people who combine the strengths of all the schools.
"The Wizard Tower will naturally not sit still - they have also begun to annex a large number of schools. Objectively speaking, this has indeed promoted the unification of knowledge.
"However... it would be fine if it was really so harmonious. Soon some people who couldn't afford it soon began to assassinate the opponent's 'tower leader'.
"So this became a rather funny game of 'tower defense and assassination'. It then evolved into a real war.
"It was a war that even the controllers of the local government dared not speak out and pretended not to know anything...a crazy war. The number of participants may not be as large as a small war, but it was It is a battle to annihilate extraordinary beings until death."
"...are there distinctions between superiority and inferiority, as well as life and death?"
Husky murmured.
Isaac nodded sadly.
"The doctors of the White Jade Tower are, in a sense, adding to the chaos... The powerful treatment methods force the wizards to invent spells that make the other party painful and difficult to cure. This is only the middle and early stages.
“Later, even the women in white robes themselves will be assassinated. There will be people who specialize in bombing, assassinating, and plundering the women in white robes belonging to the other party.
"Later on, it was no longer targeted assassinations and tower rushes. Some towns would be destroyed just by being affected by spells~IndoMTL.com~ There were also crazy mages who would take the city hostage...continuously Killing, constant annexation, and constant destruction.
"Not only will the opponent's physical body be destroyed, but the opponent's inheritance will also be destroyed - just because the spells they inherited may cause interference and restraint to their own spells.
"Hundreds of thousands of spellcasters were killed, and hundreds of inheritances were completely cut off...After the end of the Great Unification War, only one-twentieth of the past casters remained in the world. Those who truly belong to The age of spellcasters, the age of various schools of thought, has come to an end."
That is a war that can end soon as long as everyone maintains restraint and trusts each other.
But because of mutual vigilance, hatred and distrust, blood flowed in the end.
"Fool's War..."
Annan murmured: "That's true."
This is indeed a war for fools.
