Chapter Seventy-Five: Participating in the Strife
When Elder Muen spoke of the dark magic that resurrected his son, it was like throwing a huge stone on the surface of a calm lake, causing a splash of water to the sky.
Liu Jingchen was more frightened than everyone else, and he understood what that meant. He froze there, feeling a cold sweat welling up in his palm, he walked out with his legs raised, standing in the attic and looking into the distance.
Andrew sensed Liu Jingchen's strange appearance, and he said to Eric, "I think Elder Muen should be imprisoned first, and there is no need for him to participate in today's deliberations." I've got a lot more to ask later. ”
Eric comprehended, and with a wave of his hand, a golden barrier enveloped Elder Muen. With a quick flip of his wrist, the dark runes condensed in the air and sealed around the barrier. Immediately along with the enchantment, it submerged into Elder Muen's body, like an invisible shackle, sealing his spiritual power.
Batu sent Elder Muen away, and when he returned, the council chamber was back in its original seat.
Andrew motioned for him to sit down and said to everyone: "The second thing is that we must be ready to enter the WTO, if we hide in a place where the world can't see, sooner or later we will be forgotten by the human world outside." Then, there will never be a place to stand outside. ”
Andrew stood up, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness. "Of course, it's not something that can be done all at once, but we're going to have to take the first step bravely. So I decided to let our Legrees train in the outside world, and let people from outside train our warriors. When our majestic soldiers appear in the vast land outside, our message will be strong. ”
"Since the king has already designed a future for us," said Batuu, "let us do so." I started working on it when I got back to Tuobi. ”
Elder Aaron looked at the resolute Andrew and asked the question in his heart. "Does the king mean that we should be involved in the strife of troubled times?"
Andrew slammed his fist straight on the table, his tone unusually firm. "In such troubled times, it is never up to us to decide whether to participate or not. I have decided, this time, I am going to take the initiative to participate in it, so that our enemies too can learn to tremble in fear. So, I need friends, and I need a strong army!"
The male lion, who was about to reach adulthood, finally shed his immature mane and let out his first roar at the heavens and the earth.
When Andrew walked out, he stood at the door and turned back to the people sitting in the council chamber, and said in a deep voice: "I am not discussing it with you, I think, you should all understand this!"
His fair face glowed with indifference in the sunlight, but it revealed an unusual stubbornness.
The dungeon of Chiba Castle was damp and cold, and there was a musty smell of rot everywhere. Elder Mu En sat in the corner of the wall in frustration, he silently looked at Andrew and the others in front of him, and lowered his stubborn head.
Ryan first came to the dungeon, and the eerie aura made her shiver. She clenched Eric's hand tightly, a chill welling up in her heart.
Liu Jingchen turned to Mu En and asked, "You said that a magician resurrected your son, do you know that magician?"
Muen shook his head. "They hid their whole bodies in the dark, but my son was really standing in front of me. ”
Andrew said, "But we've never seen your son, where is he now?"
"They took him, and they told me that if you want to save him, you need to cooperate with them. ”
"How do you cooperate, sell the lives of your people?"
"In the beginning, they just collected our spiritual power, saying that it was the spiritual power and the spiritual power that came together to prolong his life. ”
"Later, the spiritual power they asked for was even stronger, and it seems that your little spiritual power can't satisfy them anymore, right? Then the chief elder of the fifth year of Taiyuan passed away, and in the sixth year of Taiyuan, another elder Su Rige died of illness. You should know very well how they died, right?" Andrew asked sharply.
"I just led Selemo and Surig to the place where they confessed, and they just said that collecting their spiritual power would not kill them. I didn't expect the two elders to resist desperately, there was really no way, neither of them had suffered the pain of their dead relatives, Selemo and Surig didn't care about my bitter pleading, and they had to fight to the death when they had no chance of winning at all, I really didn't want that. Mu En twitched in pain, tears on her old face.
Eric gasped. "Even a hundred deaths for a person like you are not enough to offset your sins, how can a vicious person like you sit in the position of elder?"
Liu Jingchen asked calmly, "With their character, they shouldn't let go of the dwarven clan's holy book 'Supreme Magic Book', right?"
Elder Muen pondered for a moment. "They couldn't open it at all, they even tried to destroy the book, but they failed, the enchantment on the book was too strong, and then they gave up. ”
Ryan finally couldn't help it, and she roared loudly, "If it weren't for that Supreme Magic Book, do you know how many of our people would die? ”
Elder Mu En's face turned dead, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Andrew pondered for a moment and asked, "You've been talking about them, how many people are they?"
Mu En looked up at Andrew, his gaze suddenly calm. "One old man, the other two should be his students. You are the king of the dwarves, and if you see my son in the future, please do not blame him. After speaking, there was a soft sound of "bang", and a bloody light rushed up to the sky, and Elder Mu En's body shook violently, and a bloody hole exploded in his chest, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Andrew looked at Eric quizzically. "Didn't you seal his spiritual power?"
Liu Jingchen took the lead and walked out. "It's a sorcerer's bloody curse, how can you seal it. ”
Andrew followed behind and walked out. "Didn't you say that it was impossible for the Dwarves to practice the magic of a sorcerer?"
Liu Jingchen didn't look back, he sighed softly: "It seems that those magicians also paid for it, and those magic were delivered to him by the other party, which is also an extremely spiritually consuming thing." ”
Standing in the sun, Andrew said to Liu Jingchen: "You are a magician, who has the ability to resurrect the dead in this world?"
Liu Jingchen shook his head. "You should ask the gods in the sky, I'm just a human being, an ordinary person. ”
Andrew smiled slightly. "So, ordinary people, please help me take a look, my ordinary Chiba City has been broken through by the magicians, they can step in unscrupulously, what should we do?"
Liu Jingchen hesitated for a moment. "You've decided to join the WTO, shouldn't these places be free for other people to come and go? There's a lot more you have to do, first of all, you have to connect with the outside world, it's not easy. The most straightforward way is to trade quickly with the outside, you know, the dwarves have created artifacts that can warn danger, and have always been the most desired commodity. ”
Liu Jingchen swiped his hand suddenly, and a milky white halo floated in the air, and some purple-black air currents in the halo gradually appeared, like a huge air vortex.
The traces of such powerful magic left in the air can only come from some mysterious magician.
Liu Jingchen lowered his head and nodded. "I think I understand why those sorcerers are collecting the spiritual power of the dwarves. ”
