Chapter 774: Complicated
"We seem to have forgotten something."
Watching Sidney take the medicine and slowly enter a meditative state, after Lin An arranged the enchantment, he exited the room with the others, Shiryl stared at the curly grass pattern on the door frame, and suddenly said.
"Ah, Master Justin and Mage Skull!" Andrei, who had a good heart, suddenly shouted.
"Didn't I tell you to transfer them?"
After feeling the omen, because he didn't know when something would happen, Lin An mentally asked Athena to inform Andre and Salin to leave, except for Sidney's inability to move, the Skull Mage and Justin Mage should have been transferred by them.
This is also the reason why the siblings Saleen and Andre did not appear before.
"Andrei was worried about your situation, and I found a cellar to put them in, and then came back. But the crystal jar has been sealed, and there should be no accidents. Salin said.
"You put the Skull Mage and Justin together?" Lin An frowned slightly.
"Questions?" Salin wondered.
Judging from Lin An's consistent appearance, the only important of the two is the Skull Mage, and as for Master Justin, his whereabouts and life or death should not be in Lin An's concern.
"......" Lin Anmo.
"What does it have to do with that one?" None of the people present were fools, Lin An only changed his attitude after the other party's visit, and of course it was not difficult for them to think of Remus.
Lin An acquiesced, groaning slightly.
The reason for the sudden emphasis on both was too complicated, and she had to sort it out before she could explain it.
After a while, Lin An said, "Do you remember the reason for the fall of Europa, the once prosperous Fourth Reich, about six hundred years ago? ”
Lin An's question came abruptly, the others were silent for a while, and Andre spoke up.
"Isn't it because of the undead calamity—ah, isn't it ......" Andre's voice flickered, "Ann, you suspect that the necromancer who created the undead scourge is the one from before?" ”
"Yes, but I'm just skeptical."
Lin An nodded, "The lifespan of the undead archmage who transforms the undead is much longer than that of a normal archmage, judging from the information revealed by the skull mage, six hundred years ago, that undead archmage was already a famous figure, maybe the archmage who created the undead disaster back then may not be him, but I think it is at least related to him." ”
"You're not wrong to think so, judging from the era you are in, you met the necromancer in the castle, at least you were a witness at that time." Salin tilted his head, "That's why the Holy See has been tracking him down for years?" ”
What's more, not only the Holy See, but Lin An also knew that the person who tracked down this undead archmage included at least one legendary powerhouse.
If Lin An guessed correctly, the reason why Remus did not hesitate to take away the white-clothed Holy Son at the cost of his promise was also related to the whereabouts of the undead archmage.
However, Remus's clues probably came from the Holy See, and he probably couldn't have imagined that the person who really knew the fate of the Necromancer was in front of him.
But regarding Remus's motive for tracking down the undead archmage, Lin An still had some doubts.
Although Remus once revealed to her that his mother was from the royal family of Europa, it is not impossible for Remus to become a legend after the fall of Europa, and then he wants to avenge his mother.
But judging from the results of Europa's destruction, Lin An does not believe that the Holy Empire and Pere did not act in it—she does not have any evidence in her hands, but many times, by inferring the cause from effect, and speculating on the seemingly complex puzzle from the greatest vested interest in the whole thing, usually speaking, the answer obtained is not far from the correct answer, even if it is incorrect.
However, Remus is now Perre's umbrella, and for all these years, Lin An does not seem to have heard of the retribution of the Holy See and the Holy Empire.
Of course, it is not ruled out, but it is too secretive, and the information that Lin An got can't reach that level of struggle, so I don't know.
What's more, with the lifespan and level of the legendary powerhouse, as well as the elusive character of Remus, if he wants to take revenge on the two countries, the layout time and consequences are probably unimaginable to Lin An - the reason why Lin An thought of this is to refer to the layout of the guards of the Tower of Babel, it seems that in the eyes of the powerhouses of this level, the layout of thousands of years and the turmoil of the entire continent is ordinary.
And Lin An has actually sensed some possible clues.
If the first meeting before was just accidental, then less than half a year after coming to Perret, Remus has appeared in front of her twice, and the legendary powerhouse is suddenly as common as the uncle next door, which is undoubtedly not a normal situation;
In addition, the Assassin Brotherhood, which had been silently destroyed, could not be said to have nothing to do with Remus.
When you think of the hundreds of years before the Assassin Brotherhood, you can't help but feel that there is something hidden behind it......
In addition, the tracking of the Necromancer by various forces not only involves the fall of the Fourth Reich hundreds of years ago, but also seems to be implicit in the attitude of the Holy See.
If we break down the details one by one to explore, the sensitive word "undead" can involve the ice field war and the seemingly independent Merlin.
After all, the appearance of the army of the undead in the hands of the demons was really a bit abrupt and familiar, as if it was somewhat similar to the undead catastrophe that suddenly appeared and disappeared in Europa six hundred years ago......
But all of the above, a lot of information comes from the unspeakable, which is not what Lin An should know at all, so since her travels, Lin An has always seen all kinds of details and clues in her eyes, kept them in her heart, and never announced them, even to her companions.
Therefore, regarding Salin's question, Lin An only said:
"This is probably the main reason, and there may be others, the only thing that is certain is that this necromancer who has lived for too long is involved in too many things, and it is very troublesome."
"It's conceivable." Saleen nodded.
Lin An even handed over the Holy Son who had been caught with great difficulty, and then contacted them as soon as they caught someone, and someone came to the door to ask for it, you can imagine the complexity of the trouble involved in the undead archmage.
"Then let's ......" Andrei raised his knife and raised it to his neck.
Although what the Skull Mage knew was very appealing to them, if he continued to save him, it would involve his companions in an unimaginable web of trouble, and they would have to deal with someone of the level of the uninvited guest just now, then the price would obviously not be worth it.
Andrei, although proud, is not blindly arrogant.
"No, isn't that an admission of what we know that we shouldn't know?" Lin An said, "It's good to let it be, even if you kill it, there is more than one person who knows that they are in our hands." ”
With the abilities of the Holy See and Remus, they will eventually find out that the Necromancer Archmage died at their hands, and Lin An estimates that Remus will come to her sooner or later.
However, he pursued clues to find her, and she took the initiative to hand over the person, which are two different things:
If she had understood Remus's purpose on the spot and handed over the Skull Mage and Master Justin, Remus might have thanked her for saving him trouble, but who knows if he would have changed his face immediately when he turned around and conspired to kill him.
The lessons summarized in various novels, movies and fairy tales tell us that many times, "you know too much" is often a common way for self-righteous people to die.
Dying under one's own self-inflicted wisdom is not an ordinary stupid ......
Lin An felt that it was better for him to be an innocent child who didn't know the world.
Anyway, the game that rises to the level of the country and the legendary powerhouse or even the two races is not something she should be able to figure out, is it?
It's just that before being found in the door, the two mages in their hands still have to be kept well......
Speaking of which, has she been in a rampage with the booty lately? How do you go to great lengths to get what you get your hands on (?) And always stay for a short time?
After agreeing on their opinions, Andre and Shiryl returned to the cellar where they were temporarily keeping Master Justin and Master Skull.
The snow-white skull was placed motionless in the sealed crystal vat, while Mage Justin was tied to the Activation Rope and placed in the middle of a silent circle, in the same position as when they left.
"The people in this house are all gone, and even if they don't, they will never dare to do anything when they see the extra people and skulls in the cellar."
The two returned to the surface with the crystal jar and Master Justin, and the flower-filled courtyard was empty.
André and Shiryl returned to the street, and on the way they found that there were occasionally one or two people in the street than when they came, and the mage's keen sense could detect some sneaky sights on the windowsill behind the door of the house.
There are also some ruffians and thieves on the road, taking advantage of the fact that the people in the residential shops are running away, and taking the opportunity to break in and loot the property.
Andre and the others occasionally saw someone with a large bag coming out of the broken doorway, and Shiryl immediately went down with a sword, slicing off the thieves' hands and wrists.
"Why don't there be security teams to maintain order? Doesn't it mean that the city chamber of commerce will hire mercenary teams? Where have all the people gone? ”
A large city with a population of one million, it will take at least half a day to completely evacuate, and it is still in an orderly situation, and it is not uncommon for the Andrei brothers and sisters to see those carriages that are abandoned on the streets blocking the roads.
It's just that the battle is in the center of the city, and the people in the closer urban areas run very fast, but it doesn't mean that the whole city is empty.
"Scared away." Sheryl is succinct and to the point.
From the beginning to the end of the battle between Lin An and the white-clothed Holy Son, the time did not even exceed a quarter of an hour, although half of the commercial street was destroyed, overall, the impact on the entire Gypsy City was not comparable to the Holy Fire summoned by the Holy Son and the movement of the Son of the Sky appearing in the sky.
The people in several areas of the center of the city ran so fast, not so much because of the aftermath of the battle, but because of the sheer size of the Children of the Firmament.
