In the darkness, he felt both hands grasp him at the same time, and at the same time the nightingale's vigilant voice rang out, "What's the matter?"

"The illusion created by this sigil acts directly on the eyes," explained by Agatha, "and on the surface it seems that everyone has disappeared, but in fact it does not affect reality, and we are still standing in the same position. ”

"If you don't want to watch it, just go back and exit the area of effect of the sigil. Isabella added.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the curtain to fade, revealing a transparent glass dome, marble floors, and spacious conference round tables. Then there was the witch in the Federation robes, and the long, fiery red haired Starfall Queen was among them—more than 400 years later, but the image of each person was vivid, even the teacups on the table were steaming, as if the moment in history had been frozen for a long time and was now playing out again.

If such a thing had existed in previous lives, historians who stare at the dirt and rummaged through it in search of a fragment or two of words would have been moved to tears.

Seeing that there was no danger, one hand let go of him, while the other not only did not let go, but slid downward, clasping tightly with his five fingers.

Roland immediately understood who the other party was.

He raised the corners of his mouth, pinched the soft wattle in his hand, and moved his gaze to the center of the illusion.

Isabella's activation sequence is obviously near first and then farth, and the location shown in the illusion also changes from the escape road to Tachira, and then from Tachira to Falling Star City. In addition to the fact that Akaris's age is getting younger and younger, the witches who appear have changed one after another, and it is difficult to see even a few familiar faces - there is no doubt that in this protracted and brutal war, the Federation has suffered great losses, and there are very few high-ranking people who can survive to the eve of the escape.

This is also a flaw in the Witch Empire's own system, the higher the status of the powerful person, it may sound like no problem, but when the war breaks out, these high-ranking people have to go to the battlefield to meet the enemy in person, rather than sitting in the rear to command the overall situation. Roland had heard Agatha say that Akalis had risen to the supernatural in a very dangerous battle that she had experienced many times in her reign. In other words, just carelessly, about the federation...... Even the entire history of mankind had to be rewritten.

This is true for even the capital of the three seats, not to mention the other high-level leaders?

But in fact, this is very bad for the development of leaders - a recruit only needs to survive one or two battles and lick a few mouthfuls of blood to become a veteran, while a general needs several battles and thousands of deaths to truly mature. Taking the lead is indeed the best way to boost morale, but it is also an option that should only be considered when forced to do so. If all goes well, even if it doesn't boost morale, the fighters will still fight with high morale.

Generals and soldiers are not the same – and this is not advisable in the face of an all-out war that requires people to be treated as expendables.

Roland did not expect to find any shocking secrets in the sigils, and the popes of the past should have repeatedly consulted the contents of these visions, and if there was a record of the origin of the divine will, or the nature of the divine relics, the church would not have fallen to the present state. In addition to satisfying his curiosity, the purpose of his trip was to learn from history and see if he could give himself some experience.

And the actual situation is similar to what he thought, most of the scenes recorded in the picture are major meetings, festivals, and war mobilization scenes, and only at this time is it worth using the magic stone sigil.

According to Agatha, sigils that maintain their effects for a long time are valuable.

The illusion soon reached the last one, both Akalis and the other two seats, all of which were lost from the footage and replaced by a group of elderly witches dressed in various costumes, and the image was no longer as clear as before.

Agatha snorted softly, "These people are ......"

"The early founders of the Federation?" Phyllis continued.

"Who's that?" Roland raised an eyebrow.

"The transcendent witches who survived the end of the First War of the Divine Will were the precursors to the Commonwealth. Look at the paperwork on the table, could this scene be ......" Phyllis was surprised.

"That's right," Agatha's voice was also full of joy, "I didn't expect to see the famous Three Kings Oath with my own eyes!"

Roland was confused, and he tried to look closely, only to find that the text was written in magical words, and only a witch could read its meaning.

"Can anyone explain what this oath is for?"

"Come on," Agatha's voice came from the front, "it's a landmark event for the Federation to move from looseness to unity, something that almost every awakened witch has to learn. After the end of the First War of the Divine Will, the Witch Coalition was formed, but there were still many voices within the country, both in terms of the way ordinary people were ruled and the strategy against the devil. This debate continued for many years, until the three powers came to the fore and grew stronger, eventually overpowering the other lords and city-states, and forming an organizational structure with a multi-proposition and a three-seat decision. ”

"Are they Falling Star City, Tachira, and Anleta?" asked the nightingale.

"That's right, because of the special nature of these three holy cities, their lords are often crowned queens. Agatha replied, "For example, Akaris, Queen of the Falling Stars, Nataya, Queen of the Sun, and Eleanor, Queen of the Moonlight, are the last three seats in the Federation. ”

I see, Roland thought to himself, for the witches of that era, the Oath of the Three Kings was probably as important as the founding of the country, which meant that the Federation had transformed from a pan-alliance organization into a political entity, and it was no wonder that Agatha and Phyllis and others were so excited. Historically, it is also significant, although the Federation still ended in defeat in the end, but without the three-seat system, I am afraid that the second battle of the divine will will only be lost faster, and there will not be so many witches who have made "fight the devil and recover Tachira" their lifelong belief in it.

It was just that these were not so appealing to him, and instead of being distracted, Roland turned his attention to the minutiae of the projections—such as the witches' costumes, the cups, paper and pencils, and the furnishings in the hall. Due to the centuries elapsed from the time of Akaris, the furnishings were noticeably more shabby, and it was clear that the witches' realms were still in a state of ruin after the defeat of the First War of the Divine Will.

On the walls of the conference hall, he also saw more than a dozen portraits, among which were two men, presumably prominent heroes of the war era.

It can be seen that at that time, the Federation did not completely regard ordinary people as inferior people, and even at such an important meeting, male compatriots could still be seen.

Just as Roland was about to ask Agatha if she knew the names of these people, she suddenly felt the blood freeze all over her body.

An indescribable chill rose from the soles of his feet and instantly pierced his spine, and the fear was so intense that a series of goosebumps even appeared on his arms, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

"What's wrong?" Anna immediately noticed that something was wrong with him.

"That'...... That painting ......" Roland said with difficulty, swallowing his saliva.

"Painting?"

"The people in the painting...... I've seen it. ”

It took him a long time to get the sentence through to the end of his sentence—even though the illusion wasn't as clear as before, he could still make out the outline of the penultimate picture. It was a middle-aged woman, with no outstanding appearance, long black hair coiled on the top of her head, an eye patch over one eye, and sitting on a high-backed chair with her hands crossed.

Her appearance turned out to be exactly the same as Garcia's master Lan in the dream world!
