Chapter 876: Prisoner
However, Lin An never expected such a superficial provocation to be able to shake Angus, and after getting Angus's reaction, she changed her tone:
"Of course, if you can trust Remus's opinion, the alliance between you is undoubtedly backed by a very solid foundation, so when Remus calculates you, he probably doesn't really want to kill you.
Truth be told, I'll make the same arrangement with Remus.
The decisive battle between the legendary powerhouses, after all, is extremely risky, and the sequelae are unknown, and the risks he takes in it are not small;
And if you form an alliance with him, there must be only a limited number of people who can know the plan between you, so there are not many variables that can change your plan according to the situation, after all, it is the general trend and unstoppable - so, at this time, the object that Remus needs to guard against the most has become you, after all, after the decisive battle, it cannot be ruled out that he will be seriously injured and need to recuperate, so it is better to create some trouble for you and contain you. β
Lin An's tone was slight, and he continued:
"And the prophecy of the daughter of fate, although you may not tell SΓΉ Remus, but you attach importance to me, he will not fail to look at it, so in his eyes, I am undoubtedly the right person-"
"It's just that he didn't expect that my battle with you would take place in such a special place, and no third party could intervene, otherwise what he hid from me wouldn't have a decisive impact on the battle between us." Angus continued.
"Perhaps." Lin An smiled playfully.
Angus lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't failed to see the meaningful smile, "You haven't told me yet, you are aware of the real reason for my plan." β
Remus's concealment of Lin An's strength should have been deduced after Lin An came here, not the root cause of her flaws.
"Haven't I said it yet? Oh yes! β
Lin An seemed to wake up from a dream, and raised his eyebrows, "Concealing my strength is only a part of what Remus is hiding from you; The other part is my relationship with himβ"
She chuckled with interest, "You already know that he chased me and forced me to flee to the territory of the Holy See; But you probably don't know......" she chuckled, her voice lengthened, "and he confessed to me before he chased me. β
Angus's chest thumped.
Lin An turned his face sideways, hooking his lips charmingly, like a pearl, shining in the dark room, attracting people's attention:
"I have known him for more time than you think; I know more about him than you might thinkβfor example, the reasons for his revenge on the three empires, and his hatred of the Hidden Heritage. β
Lin An looked directly at Angus, knowing very well that the current state may not be a real blow to Angus, but he has been planning for a long time, and if he misses the opportunity, he will not have another plan, and the position of the other person as a collaborator is unknown, can Angus still be indifferent?
ββ¦β¦ Before I left Danton, Remus warned me to his face that he would have big plans for the futureβso when the glacier broke and hit Atlanta, I thought of Remus; When Remus challenged Angus II, I was already suspicious of your relationship. β
A word fell into his ears, and Angus calmed down instead:
"In any case, the plan has been advanced to the final step, and no matter what the intentions of the Lord of the Water Blue are, there is no one who can stop them - and this is the ultimate goal of the Lord of the Water Blue, and he will not destroy it."
Hearing this, Lin An knew that Angus's heart was really starting to mess up, and it was impossible for Angus not to be anxious about her words when he was involuntarily imprisoned.
This kind of anxiety will not destroy Angus's sanity all at once, but it will work subtly in the time to come.
Lin An stopped immediately, so as not to cause Angus's will to rebound and be self-defeating, so he said:
"Yes, when everyone was attracted by the collusion between the Holy See and the demons and the Eastern Crusade, and thought that you might make a big deal in the north, the fuse you really used to detonate this explosive barrel was - to destroy the Holy See!"
With such a draw, even Lin An could not imagine, at least she would not have expected it to come so quickly and so suddenly!
Even if she had already detected the hints of the secret alliance between Remus and Angus, it stands to reason that with the encirclement of Pere and Merlin, and the birth of legendary powerhouses, they will need to face more resistance, and to achieve their goals, the Holy See, a behemoth rooted in the continent for 2,000 years, and the combat power of those ascetics hidden in the hermitage can help them a lot;
Angus is planning layer by layer, and he has become a divine envoy under one person with great momentum, and he has been laying the groundwork for so long before, before the use value of the Holy See is squeezed dry, Angus should not be so quick to cut off his tail-
It wasn't until Lin An learned that Angus's ultimate goal was to become a god, and that the Holy See and its beliefs that spread throughout the continent were the roadblocks that he had to kick out of his path, that he suddenly realized that Angus would use the destruction of the Holy See to open a huge curtain that swept the continent!
Then there is no better way to completely eradicate the Holy See than the current situation, and erase the faith that has been circulating and ingrained among the common people for thousands of years from this continent!
So, the Holy See is the enemy of Angus!
Angus II, who brought him life, was also his enemy!!
This is the reason why Angus wants to push the Holy See and the entire continent into the abyss step by step, which Lin An has been puzzled about before!!
In fact, at this point, the outline of Angus's plan has been completely clear:
With the fall of the Pope and the disappearance of the oracle of the first candidate to succeed the Pope, there is no doubt that the Holy See will fall into chaos;
Coupled with the revelation of the Holy See's collusion with the deeds of the demons, as well as the opportunity of Merlin Peret and other external forces, no one can prevent the destruction of the Holy See, as well as the turmoil and destruction of the chain and Holy Empire - Alabham I, whose fate is on the verge of death, will never allow himself to miss the last chance in his lifetime!
And when the three-legged triangle collapses, then even with the power of the legendary powerhouse, it can no longer delay the arrival of the mainland turmoil!
"Civil war, plague, and demons - no matter which of these three factors appears, they are enough to serve as the fuse to detonate the turmoil in the continent, let alone the three at the same time!"
Lin An seemed to be able to see corpses all over the field and beacon fires appearing in every corner of the continent, and he took a deep breath, "...... If I'm not mistaken, you will not only plant the seeds of the plague in Atlanta, but you will never forget to leave the conclusive evidence of the Holy See's development and dissemination of the plague to the civilians who seek the truth. β
"The sage once said that the greatest turmoil is nothing more than the turmoil of the people's hearts."
Angus did not deny it, and said calmly, "When people's hearts are in turmoil, the world is in chaos." β
Faith rules the king, the king controls the nobility, and the nobility enslaves the commoners.
And when the cornerstone of the class pyramid loses faith, hatred is overflowing, people's minds change, and even the peasants put down their hoes and beliefs, and take up their swords to destroy the idols, there is no one who can prevent a great catastrophe from coming!
This purge will spread throughout this continent that has been ruled by the Supreme God for thousands of years.
"I have to repeat what I said about you, you are indeed a madman."
Unlike his previous anger, Lin An had completely calmed down, "Fate may have really given me some kind of fate, making me destined to be your opponent, and I am glad for this - no matter what you plan to spread or achieve with this catastrophe, you have made a mistake in the crucial last step, and I will not give any chance." β
Angus's pupils shrank, and then he smiled slightly.
"Think about it, if you don't show up for a long time, and you can't be found, how long can Remus hold up under pressure from all sides? Perhaps the mages will replace the Holy See and the clergy and restore the glory of the Magic Dynasty. β
Lin An stood up and gracefully smoothed the wrinkles on his robe, "For the sake of your answer, this plate of barbecue is your reward." β
She turned away.
β¦β¦
Three days later.
The metal door opened for the third time in three days.
Angus, who was leaning against the metal cage fence, opened his eyes and watched Lin An step in.
"Today's food pills."
The crystal bottle containing a brown pellet was passed through the fence by the mage's hand and sent into the cage, where it was immediately retrieved after watching Angus eat the pellet - the result of Angus' unsuccessful attempt to hide a silver fork after the first day of grilled steak dinner.
Angus's cheeks were obviously thin and haggard, but his spirit was still normal, his squint adjusted to the light that Lin An turned on after entering, and he glanced at Lin An, "You went out?" β
"You've guessed right," Lin An replied with a smirk, "It seems that three days of imprisonment is not enough to cause damage to your spirit, which is really good news." β
"Thanks for the compliment. It should be early in the morning, and the dew is always heavier at this time. Lin An's body was spotless, except for a faint wetness at the end of his hair.
In the dark cage and the slumber from time to time, the concept of time has not yet been blurred, and Lin An has to admire Angus's willpower.
But sooner or later the final submission will come.
Knowing that now was not the time, Lin An smiled slightly, nodded to Angus, put away the crystal bottle and left.
The prison is dark again.
β¦β¦
Another three days passed.
Lin An entered the prison with a book.
"I found some magic books in the library in the living quarters, so I don't mind giving them a lesson." Lin An raised his hand to adjust the Divine Array.
The speed of mental power extraction slowed down a lot, and it took a long time for Angus to open his eyes and say slowly:
"Of course."
Lin An smiled lightly.
β¦β¦
The metal door opens for the tenth time.
Angus had already read a book on magic symbols more or less completely, and Lin An changed another one.
ββ¦β¦ So, you set up an ambush magic array at the portal, and it's just a magic array used to imprison and suppress mental power? After the discussion of a question, Lin An suddenly asked abruptly.
Angus was caught off guard and paused, "...... That's right. β
"Why?" Lin An asked tightly without leaving any gap, "If you have always regarded me as a fateful opponent." β
"No Ann. Lynn, there will also be Sophie. Lynn, Mary. Lynn ......"
Angus's eyes flickered for a moment before he replied, "If, I am destined to have a daughter of destiny as an opponent, then to convince her is to submit to fate." β
"I trust your explanation," because that's what she thought, "but alas, it seems, you haven't started to get confused yet." β
Lin An smiled and turned to leave under Angus's eyes.
