Chapter 245: An Opportunity to Intervene in the Human Kingdom! The Clown!
Teacher Martha's words made Meng Ying pause slightly.
Immediately after, Meng Ying reacted!
In the human kingdoms of the Gods' Continent, some human kingdoms have only one god of faith for the entire nation.
In this kind of human kingdom, the king's strength is generally quite formidable.
And in some human kingdoms, multiple churches are stationed at the same time, with a large number of gods scrambling for faith inside. In these human kingdoms, local powers are also more severely divided.
The Spirit Kingdom only believes in a single god!
However, according to Teacher Martha, this god lost the divine war in the heavens?
Conflicts between gods never cease, but divine wars are not so easily started. Once they begin, divine wars often drag on for a very long time.
Losing the divine war means one's power will be weakened, and immediately after, this god's forces on the Gods' Continent will also be extremely compressed!
Teacher Martha added, "Of course, this is only a rumor mentioned by my friends in the church. Whether it's true is still unknown!"
Meng Ying thought for a moment. If this news is true, its significance is considerable.
If it's true, the Spirit Kingdom is about to fall into great chaos.
A god who lost the divine war—his forces on the Gods' Continent will surely be seized by the opposing side.
At the very least, losing half is a certainty.
Unless the Spirit Kingdom's strength is powerful enough to defeat the opposing god's forces on the Gods' Continent even when the god can only send down a small amount of power to help, or even none at all!
But that is almost impossible.
Even the god has been defeated. The god's kingdom on the Gods' Continent being seized is almost a foregone conclusion.
If this matter is true.
The reason for the rift between the Spirit Kingdom's king and the church becomes very simple—the king only cares about his own territory!
If a god loses, this king can switch to believing in another god and still maintain his rule.
But the church is different.
The church is bound to the god—sharing in glory and sharing in shame!
The church would surely want to coerce the king into waging war against the other side. As long as they hit the other side hard enough, they can at least preserve half their territory and believers!
"This is an opportunity!"
Meng Ying thought.
This is indeed an opportunity to break into the Spirit Kingdom!
It is also the first step in spreading the glory of the Lord of Flames outward from the beastman nation!
However, whether the news is true or false still requires continued observation for some time!
Even if it's true, it will still take quite a bit of time before the war actually breaks out!
Meng Ying sincerely thanked Teacher Martha!
Such news could be called top secret.
The number of people in the entire Spirit Kingdom who know this news probably does not exceed ten!
Yet Teacher Martha told her!
"No need to thank me. I once had the fortune to witness the Lord of Flames' might and benevolence in the abyss. Meng Ying, please convey my respect to the Lord of Flames!"
Teacher Martha said.
Meng Ying nodded, bid farewell to Teacher Martha, and prepared to head to Falling Star City to purchase supplies. Once she had recruited enough female teachers, she would return to the Miracle City to bring this news to the fox woman Sister Qing Ling, and convey it to the Lord of Flames through prayer.
Teacher Martha saw them off from the mage tower.
"Teacher Martha, we're leaving!"
"Mm, take care!"
"Let's go, Mia!"
"Mm!"
Meng Ying left the mage tower with Mia and headed toward Falling Star City.
"Meng Ying, you really came back?"
Not long after Meng Ying had walked out of the mage tower, she saw a group of young men and women walking toward her. A young girl asked happily.
Seeing this young girl, a faint smile also appeared on Meng Ying's face.
This was one of her few friends at the Magic Academy—He Li.
Although Meng Ying was an orphan, her uncle's financial situation was decent. Still, she couldn't compare with many of the noble children at the Magic Academy.
Yet she was a rare magical genius, becoming a Second Rank mage at just sixteen years old—the most dazzling figure among the younger generation of the entire Magic Academy. This caused many young girls, especially noble young girls, to排斥 her.
But the old Meng Ying never cared. With talent like hers, once her strength rose, becoming a noble would be easy.
"Wow, Meng Ying, why do I feel like your temperament has completely changed? Why are you wearing a veil?"
As He Li drew closer, she felt that the temperament emanating from Meng Ying had undergone an earth-shattering change. She couldn't help being surprised, and at the same time she was a little curious about the veil on Meng Ying's face.
"Meng Ying, you've been gone so long—surely you didn't marry some noble, right? I heard some nobles don't like their women showing their faces in public, so they have to wear veils."
At this moment, a somewhat jarring voice rang out.
"That's right, Meng Ying. Your magical talent is good, but magical cultivation isn't just about talent—it also requires enough gold coins. If you really did marry some noble and let that noble provide you with gold coins for cultivation, that wouldn't be a bad choice."
Another young girl's voice rang out.
Meng Ying turned her head to look and saw, behind He Li, several noble young girls in exquisite fabrics standing there. Beside them were also several noble young men.
In the Magic Academy, the number of noble students exceeded that of commoner students—learning magic was inherently a money-burning affair.
Between these two types of students, there was generally not much interaction.
Generally speaking, the achievements of commoner mages also had a hard time catching up to those of noble mages, with exceptions like Meng Ying.
Once a genius like Meng Ying appeared and didn't fit in well, there was no shortage of gossip behind the scenes from these noble students.
But this time, they actually began discussing her to her face.
The reason was very simple.
The several noble youths who had come with her were all captivated by Meng Ying's aura; even though Meng Ying wore a veil over her face, they were utterly stunned.
Those noble girls were jealous!
"You won't believe this, but though my magical talent is average, my father spared no expense to have me take a Fifth-Rank Grand Mage as my master—I'm nearly at Second Rank now, Meng Ying, I'm almost catching up to you!"
Immediately, another slightly plump noble girl lifted her head and declared proudly.
