Chapter 39: The Fool and the Wise 1

Claire's injuries are urgent, and for a month, Charlotte has led Secrets and Malthus to play a cat-and-mouse game on the glacier. With Charlotte's increasingly sophisticated illusions, Malthus and Simon fell short several times, and every time he led the elite to arrive, Charlotte had already taken a step ahead of him.

This time is no different, and this is the fourth time this month that Charlotte has been tricked.

"This guy really deserves to be Charlotte. Simon Carter, the oldest Chosen One of the Soul Seats, said as he stood atop the iceberg.

He wore a black robe, a pure black velvet cloak, and when he pulled down his hood, he revealed a greasy, unkempt black hair, which, combined with his already gloomy appearance and lifeless expression, made him look like a ghost roaming a glacier.

"In terms of the subtlety of illusion alone, he is afraid that he is no longer weaker than the legend who specializes in illusion. Simon is usually more taciturn than Claire, and just two sentences can be regarded as a golden mouth, which shows his appreciation for Charlotte's strength.

"After all, he is the inheritor of the alliance master, and he has made a name for himself in the world of Stee, so it is not surprising that he can have such attainments. Malthus was standing beside him, now that he had stepped into the legendary realm of transcendence, he bit his lower lip, deeply annoyed by his current state, "Let me warn you, that guy is not only good at illusion and mind, but also in vain. ”

Simon's slender eyes flashed with murderous intent and intense jealousy, "It is said that he has raised the Root Throne by summoning the future?"

"That's what the intelligence says, but I still can't see the exact shape of the throne. Rest assured, the price of summoning the future is that the Book of Atroac has fallen into a deep sleep, he can't use that trick now, no matter how great his potential is, he is only a master of the Nine Rings now. As he said this, Malthus's murderous intent came out, "The leader of the alliance is missing, if you want to control our fate, this is the only chance!"

You want to kill him?

Simon didn't ask this, because he realized that he was also driven by a strong jealousy in his heart to drag Charlotte into hell.

Why are you born noble and extraordinary, and you can get the favor of the alliance leader, teach all the theories, knowledge, spells, and resources, and let the alliance leader not hesitate to offend the gods and snatch the Shadow Orb from Alvira's hands. That's it, even the talent and potential are so high, how many amazing mages can't ask for the root throne can actually be lifted by you in the future?

Is there any fairness in this world?

I have been stuck in the legend for more than ten years, and I can't see the light of the root at all, how can I understand my pain and despair, and a proud son like you?

But kill him, what will happen to me when the Alliance Master returns?, with my current strength, can I really resist the most ancient king who is said to have raised the throne of illusions?

Simon's thoughts were surging, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

"Let's go, it's useless again this time. I've contacted a legendary mage who specializes in prophecy, and when he comes, no matter how subtle Charlotte's illusion is, he won't escape our grasp. ”

Malthus interrupted his thoughts, and Simon opened his mouth and asked, "Is anyone willing to risk offending the Alliance Master to help us murder all the people?"

"It is a disciple of the Lord of the Stars, and it is said that our alliance leader and the Lord of the Stars talked about a game of mage chess, so that the Lord of the Stars lost his energy and was besieged by the gods and fell. When he heard that the guy to be solved was Charlotte, he didn't know how happy he was. Malthus sneered, he realized something, and then asked, "Master Simon, you shouldn't be holding back, right? You must know that Claire is also a disciple of the alliance leader, and if we miss this opportunity, when the alliance leader returns, we will never be able to turn over." ”

Simon glanced at Malthus indifferently, "Don't worry, I don't need you to teach me what to do." ”

But despite this, Malthus was fascinated by the thought of probing the root power on Iger's scepter a while ago, but he was completely confused. I can't help but think, do I really have what it takes to be a king?

Since that day, the seed that had been planted many years ago broke through the ground, and the idea took root in Simon's heart, and it continued to draw on Simon's inner courage and faith, gnawing at him like a black hole monster.

If you want to become a king, the prerequisite is that you can't transform your body into the immortal series and destroy the natural state of your own sea of consciousness and magic energy pool. In other words, no matter how much maintenance is maintained, unless it is an immortal species (in fact, the immortal species also has the disadvantages of slow growth in strength and limited upper limit), the human mage will only have a hundred years to break through the king.

This is completely hell-level difficulty, ordinary people want to promote the legend within the natural life cycle is already considered to be talented, on this basis, to peek into the root cause and steal authority, it is almost a fantasy.

And at this moment, Simon, who was previously high-spirited, has been greatly shaken by his future.

While Malthus and Simon were talking, Charlotte, who had already set up a suspicious position, was making a final consultation on Claire.

The effect of the diagnosis and treatment is excellent, and the brainstorming of the mage of the secret rite, coupled with the various rare materials that Charlotte has stockpiled, this kind of effort regardless of wear and tear has finally paid off in a gratifying return. After the consultation, Claire closed her eyes to communicate the sea of consciousness, and ten minutes later, he opened his eyes with a smile on his cold handsome face.

"Thanks, brother!"

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, and he patted Claire on the shoulder, "What else do you and I say thank you." We don't have time to rest, though, and we need to make plans to get back to Icewind Castle. I estimate that Malthus will always find a way to crack it after being tricked four times, although it is very difficult, but I believe that everyone will work together to break through the encirclement of the Soul Seat. ”

Regarding Charlotte's question, Villerett on the side bit her lower lip and showed a tangled expression. She subconsciously looked at Claire, and from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Claire to agree to Charlotte's proposal.

She got her wish.

"I'm sorry, brother. I'm not going to go back to Icewind Castle, my supporters are still being held in the Wailing Basin, and I'm going to rescue them, and with a reflexive fight, push Malthus and Simon off the platform. ”

Jacob, who had been imprisoned for a full month, and who couldn't even breathe and blood, actually laughed when he heard this, "It's really you, Master Claire! It's not bad that ordinary people can escape with their lives, but you still want to fight! Hahaha, it's interesting! But with the strength of you and me, plus all of you in the secret ritual, it's not without the strength of a fight......"

"Shut up!" Charlotte was eager to kick him, halfway through the goal, and considering the risk of counterattacking and the loss of profit, Charlotte did not plan to counter Malthus and Simon on the home court of the Soul Seat.

He turned to Claire and said, "Brother, I know you've suffered a lot. But now is not the time to be impulsive, we can go back to Icewind Castle first, and wait for you and me to become legends, or find Sylvia's sister before rallying the men to fight back. Optimistically, the root of the achievement does not have to be in the Soul Seat, and you have to rely on the Eagle Scepter!Brother, this is too risky, you know that winter is coming, and I don't want to waste my strength in the mage civil war! From the overall point of view, this will not benefit you and me at all!"

Claire looked at Charlotte in amazement, for a long time, he shook his head and smiled, "Charlotte, you have really grown up, and now you have become a calm enough leader. ”
