Chapter 446: Sense of Responsibility
Without hesitation, Felix immediately headed to the place where the sacrifice was about to take place.
It was in an area several miles outside the military camp, and it looked like it had been set up for a long time.
He quickly saw the specific situation. It turned out that it was not a sacrifice, but some kind of ceremony. There was an alchemy formation with complicated mantras engraved on the ground.
"alchemy?"
Because the believers of the Recast Church would also vigorously study alchemy, and even hoped to incorporate them into the system of the Recast Church, Felix recognized them at a glance.
This is an extremely large scale, very complex and very delicate, and it should be a special alchemy circle that was directly moved and grafted from somewhere.
"Unexpectedly...there is an alchemy circle of this level existing?"
The more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became, because the alchemy circle in front of him was so exquisite. In the eyes of everyone who had studied alchemy, it looked like a nearly perfect work of art, which could instantly make people... Those who understand it become obsessed.
"What kind of alchemy circle is this, and what is it used to make? Why is there such an alchemy circle here?"
Felix murmured to himself and subconsciously knelt down in front of the alchemy circle. He couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it but then retracted his hand, for fear of affecting the various precise effects of the highest level alchemy circle.
At this moment, the sound of crying reached his ears.
"No...that's not right."
Felix snapped out of his obsession, shook his head, and stared at his surroundings.
Thousands of Siyat people are being driven here by the Valerians, and King Valerre, Agata, the leader of the Restoration Army, and Cardinal "The Destroyer" who is recasting the church are all watching this scene. .
Then, "The Destroyer" looked at himself.
"Felix, you're here too, take a look... This is the alchemy circle left by Apocalypse. Soon the ultimate alchemy creation will be born from here, as long as we donate enough souls. "
"The Destroyer" also showed an emotion of obsession, which was a rare huge emotion for a person with almost no emotions like him.
In fact, whether it is alchemy or technology, the "Destroyer" always has a huge enthusiasm that people can't understand for those novel technologies that can be copied, deconstructed, and learned!
He continued.
"Although the reason is not very clear, King Valere encountered an existence at the apocalyptic level in the spiritual world, and thus obtained this incredible alchemy... It is simply a miracle!"
"We only need to donate enough souls to witness the birth of the legendary Philosopher's Stone!"
"soul……"
Felix turned to look at the crying and wailing people. They were all Siyat people, men, women, old and young, and there were even mothers holding babies.
The prisoners gathered together, leaning on each other, their eyes full of helplessness and fear, tears rolling in their eyes, loudly telling their pain and sorrow.
The cries of the children were particularly harsh. They didn't fully understand what was happening, but the surrounding environment made them cry heartbreakingly. The mothers held their children tightly and touched their babies with trembling hands. They tried to comfort them with gentle words, but their tears had already burst and they could not restrain themselves. The men held back their tears, silently praying for salvation in their hearts, and could only wait helplessly for outside help to save them. Save yourself from this sea of misery.
"no!"
Felix was suddenly furious. The most important thing in his life was "responsibility."
Since the Fisher family is the ruler of the Siyats, he has always believed deep down in his heart that he needs to be responsible for all the Siyats!
So he persuaded the "Destroyer": "Stop it! Lord Cardinal! Those Siyat people are innocent!"
King Valere immediately looked at him and said with malice in his tone: "What on earth are you talking about? Bishop Felix, we are going to war against the Siyat people. Your position will not reach this point or not." Are you firm?"
"I understand. After all, Bishop Felix, you are a member of the Fisher family. That's why, right?"
"Are you our friend or our enemy?" he asked aggressively.
"The Destroyer" didn't speak, just stared at Felix.
Felix shook his head and said: "In fact, when we recast the church, we hope to dedicate the entire Siyat to the great god of recasting, and to make those Siyat people our recasting gods. believer."
"Our enemies are only the Fischer family and the forces attached to them, not every Siyat person!"
"The Destroyer" still stared at him, with an almost unhuman indifference in his cold eyes, and said calmly:
"Felix."
"Although the person who wants to initiate the ritual is not me, but King Valere, I just want to make one thing clear to you, that is, I also agree with the initiation of the ritual..."
"The Philosopher's Stone is a legendary miracle, a thing that can grant all wishes!"
His voice trembled slightly, all four arms were shaking, and the steel mask seemed to be full of passion and fire.
"For me, the emergence of ultimate alchemy is too shocking. I really hope to see its results! And now this wish is likely to come true before my eyes!"
That is the "Destroyer" who recasts the Church.
Felix frowned. In fact, just like his impression, the "Destroyer" was a person who was obsessed with any science, alchemy and other technologies. In his eyes, the lives of ordinary people were insignificant, and only technology was the most important thing.
And the ultimate technology of alchemy was right in front of him. It was impossible for him to give up.
The leader of the Valere Restoration Army, the blonde Agatha, also came over and said, "Let me be frank. Although we can win even without it, it is good to be cautious and even increase the chance of winning."
"We need the ultimate alchemy creation... the legendary philosopher's stone. I don't know what kind of power that thing has, but it will definitely be useful!"
Felix looked at Agatha, the leader of the Valere Restoration Army, and she continued calmly:
"I can understand your desire to stop us. If it were me, I would not sit idly by and watch my compatriots become consumables, but our positions are fundamentally different... It is better to say, Bishop Felix, if you really stand on the side of our three countries, then allow us to do all this, which is also a statement of your position."
What should we do?
Felix felt that it was very difficult. He could not sit idly by because of the self-awareness of the Syat people.
At the same time, the captured civilians looked over at the same time. Their eyes gathered into an urgent force and all looked at the big man standing on their side.
The appearance of this big man was like a beam of light that penetrated the clouds, illuminating this forgotten corner.
The eyes of the Syat people were full of complex emotions, with a desire for freedom, like dry land looking forward to rain; there was an expectation of salvation, like a lost person looking for a lighthouse on the way home.
There were tears in their eyes, but they were not tears of despair, but the light born of hope.
They stared at Felix, and every look was full of longing for the future.
"Save us!"
"Please! Save us!"
"Help me, I can die, I hope you can save my child!"
Felix felt the heavy expectations and trust from the Syat people, and knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and understood that his every word and action would affect the fate of these innocent lives.
Finally, he looked at the three people with determination, and his words were full of seriousness.
"If you insist on using the souls of the Syat people to refine the so-called Philosopher's Stone, then count me as one. Although I am a devout believer of the God of Recasting and a person chosen by Him, I am also a Syat."
After speaking, Felix stood in the alchemy circle without hesitation, came to all the Syat people, and then calmly stared at the "Destroyer" and King Valer, as well as the leader of the Restoration Army, Agatha.
"Okay, Your Excellency the Bishop, I can fulfill and respect your will!"
King Valer suddenly spoke in a low voice, and it can be heard that there is a kind of ruthlessness!
He had long felt that a member of the Fisher family who had infiltrated the Three Kingdoms coalition would be a disaster sooner or later, and it would be a good thing if the problem could be solved here.
Agata frowned slightly, but she did not speak.
"Stop it."
The sudden cold voice of "The Destroyer" made King Valer look sideways.
"Your Excellency the Cardinal, are you going to stop us too?"
The "Destroyer" nodded and said helplessly: "Because he has the mark of the God of Recasting, it is very important for our Recasting Church. Apart from the Chief... he is the only second person to have this mark, not even me."
"So, this matter can be discussed later, but Felix cannot die."
He suddenly squatted down and pointed out an imperceptible "transfer" spell among the many complicated spells.
"And I'm a little sober now. It seems that the Apocalypse left some kind of back-up plan in this alchemy array."
"If we really refine the Philosopher's Stone, perhaps the stone will be snatched away directly from afar by the Apocalypse, and will not fall into our hands."
"The Destroyer"'s words shocked several people, because the level of the alchemy array was too high, and the various spells were designed too delicately and interlocked, so they couldn't find this at all.
Felix was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "King Valer, is the person you met in your dream an old man in a blue robe? He claims to be the director of the Sapphire Ancient Library?"
"How do you know?" King Valer was stunned.
Felix was silent again, recalling everything that his grandfather Byrne had experienced. The Sapphire Director's habit of "stealing other people's achievements" really hasn't changed.
Although he failed once with his grandfather, if such a fascinating ultimate alchemy is spread on a large scale... I don't know how many people in the world will sacrifice the souls of ordinary people in pursuit of the legendary philosopher's stone that can achieve miracles, and the last philosopher's stone will all go to his hands!
Just thinking about this, Felix couldn't help sweating on his back.
