Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 270: Never to Save Others
Arsalan hesitated for a moment, but still did not agree with Travis’ idea: “Although we mages cannot understand the affairs of the gods too clearly, one thing is certain.

Their earthly kingdoms of God are not static.

As the gods become more powerful, the defenses they set up for their kingdom on earth will become stronger and more bizarre.

The Dark Night Main Temple even allows ordinary believers to go in and kneel down to pray! Hasn't there never been any problem?

When the white dragon was rampant..."

"White Dragon has never officially confronted the gods of this world." Travis suddenly interrupted him.

Arsalan widened his eyes slightly, this was completely different from what he had always known.

But he also knew that history had been tinged with color with the disappearance of many gods and the passing of powerful wizards.

For the remaining few people, if they want to make their image more glorious, it is not impossible for them to modify some records.

Just like how mages never regard the books in Scroll Mountain as the most serious history books... they respect this God of Knowledge because he can really do it and let future generations see about 40% of the truth.

It is impossible to be completely unadorned, especially when it comes to things related to the war of gods.

The God of Knowledge will only stand on the side of the gods.

Therefore, even if the wizards used their own means to leave behind some ancient books, no one can guarantee that they are authentic.

At most, it can allow the mages to find out some truth in history by matching it with the historical books in Scroll Mountain.

Compared to these half-true and half-false things, the news from Bailong is more credible.

After all, that thing really lives a long time.

Travis could be so sure because Ruth Kania must have received serious information from an ancient white dragon who was involved in the incident back then.

Tsk~Arsalan suddenly sneered.

No one doubted the position of the gods back then, naturally because their churches and their believers had also paid a great price. In fact, in the case of several churches, even the chiefs of the churches had died on the battlefield.

The gods have never been reluctant to use their divine power to support these believers fighting on the front line.

Therefore, no one had ever doubted it... But once the fog was lifted, Arsalan had no idea what these gods had paid besides their divine power.

Believers? Priests?
Is it important to the gods who could easily descend to the world back then?
Even a fellow like the Lord of the Tower, who has not yet officially ascended to the throne of God, can easily create an incarnation like Kyle Montes!
After the birth of the Ice Dog King, he has indeed been dying and living, but... weren't the ones who disappeared completely in the end the human believers he brought with him?

In the end, what really suppressed the White Dragon was not the concerted efforts of the gods and humans, but a sudden disaster from the sky.

Of course, Arsalan could not deny that during that period, the gods had officially confronted the White Dragon Elders led by the White Dragon King.

However, he had not seen any battle damage reports, only the so-called "consensus".

However, the white dragons must have suffered a little loss, otherwise when humans rebelled against the gods, they would not have been so proactive in joining forces with humans to fight the enemy.

No, or rather, it is because both the white dragon and the human beings have figured it out, that they are the ones who died from the beginning to the end...believers or cult leaders, aren't they all human beings?
That's why it's so easy to let go of past hatred.

Arsalan shook his head slightly.

Didn't their mages realize very early on that gods could not be trusted, and that's why they were so determined to find a way out?
Mages are not like gods who can leave the earth at any time. They can only try their best to reach the limit of their abilities in the mortal world, and then strive to go among the stars to find some opportunity.

However, the laws between the earth and the stars are similar but different.

But human life is limited.

Although the mages knew that as long as people stayed away from the astral realm of the material plane, they would stop aging, but how could they get there?
If Arsalan only regarded those legends as dreams before he reached level 16, now that his strength has stagnated for a long time, he, like his predecessors, can only regard that legendary star realm as his last hope.

Arsalan knew very well that the reason he could still sit still was because he was not too old, and he had the support of the White Dragon King behind him.

Unlike those who had to go directly to the outside of the world with the strength of level 16 and snatch the living space from the gods who were almost all above level 20.

Just think about it, the world has been closed for so long. For a strong person who is above level 16 and has lived half of his life, how could he not want to live among the stars?

It's just that most people can't do it.

But a level 16 mage still has this ability... although life becomes more difficult after rushing out.

If there is a teacher or blood relative who can be relied on a little, then it would be easy.

Otherwise, they can only live in remote corners and live in misery. Of course, this is because most of the people who leave can only choose to return to the mainland to wait for the end of their lives. Otherwise, where else can they go?
But they have no choice, because they simply cannot adapt to the special rules of the starry sky!
But as far as Arsalan knows, the current near-stellar orbit... This is what the White Dragon said, and the mages thought it was quite suitable, so they followed suit... There are at least more than a hundred mages above level 20 living scattered in the only remaining space left in the kingdom of the gods.

This is because there are only a few gods left in this world.

Even though the kingdoms of these gods are extremely large, occupying almost one-third of the space in the near-stellar orbit, the level 20 mages can at least build their own fortresses within a quarter of the remaining space.

The best outcome for the remaining level 16 mages is to live in some extraordinary fortress... No matter how much money they spend, at least they can learn the true laws of the stars.

The rest of the people can only build a small metal house for themselves pitifully, hoping that one day they will have a flash of inspiration and find the way forward by themselves.

Thinking of this, Arsalan sighed silently.

His life is both good and bad.

Fortunately, he had good talent and was promoted to level 16 very early. He also gained common sense about the star world when he went out on adventures.

The bad thing is that the old wizard who told him this common sense, who came back from the starry sky, really came back to die.

Even though he taught Arsalan a lot of ancient magical knowledge during the last period of time, the old wizard himself did not understand anything about the laws and information related to the interstellar space.

Arsalan glanced at Travis, who had a serious expression on his face and was probably still thinking about the problem with the Lord of the Tower, and a gleam of light flashed across his eyes.

The reason why he trusted Travis so much and never went against Travis' wishes was certainly not just because of the uncle-nephew relationship.

How much sincerity can there be between two people whom Travis only really got to know after he became king?
But Arsalan always stood firmly behind Travis, even though those who died were his nephews.

Of course, the relationship between them has improved a lot now because of the long time they have been together and have known each other, but that is only because they have to be together and become friends, and Arsalan has tried hard to restore their friendship.

For Arsalan, who is already very familiar with the orbit of the nearby star, Travis, no, it should be said that Ruth Kania beside Travis is the most important existence.

Between the gods and wizards' fortress areas, the White Dragon's Lair, which dragged together the ruins of large areas of fallen gods, is the most powerful force in the starry sky.

The gods are certainly not afraid of the white dragon, but they also don't care about things that they don't care about in the first place.

As long as the white dragon doesn't stretch its claws into the vicinity of their kingdom of God, the gods won't care.

In fact, it can be seen from the results.

Originally, after the final battle, the three major forces each occupied one third of the land.

However, it was not as easy for human mages to gain a foothold in the starry sky as they had initially thought.

As time went by, the white dragon, which often roamed in the starry sky, naturally took a few steps towards the large area vacated by the human wizard.

As far as Arsalan knew, although the White Dragon King had been sticking to the earth after the world was blocked... As long as they didn't use power beyond the limits of the world, they wouldn't be thrown out of the world... But the white dragons in the near-star orbit, no matter how strong they were, were very convinced of the White Dragon King.

In the king's residence in the center of the white dragon's lair, no white dragon has ever dared to touch it.

Arsalan didn't think about getting any benefit from Bailong, he still had his reason.

He just wanted to be able to live near the white dragon's lair until he had to go to the near-star orbit to seek his own future.

It's still empty there now.

The fortresses of those level 20 great wizards are all located on the other side.

They would rather be neighbors with the gods they once plotted against than with the white dragons who love to visit them.

After getting familiar with Ruskania, Arsalan could understand why the mages made such a choice.

But, he also understood why these so-called extraordinary people... could no longer find a way forward.

Although Arsalan didn't know much about the history, he really didn't think that the powerful human beings, especially the mages, who strongly supported the humans who fought for living space against the gods back then... were really doing it for humanity itself.

It is understandable that the nobles want more power and larger territory.

However, the Church of the Gods back then, even the most worthless one, occupied the most fertile land.

But mages, what for?

After all, it is not to save the future of mankind.
