Chapter 34: The Relics of the Wise
ps: A big chapter of nearly 4,000 words, Xiaole doesn't want to break it down into a 2K party, a chapter is a chapter, really. By the way, there are still a few chapters left in the first volume to end, and the general world is presented in front of you, and the next thing is really exciting! In the first volume, there are large pits and small pits, countless pits, and if you can guess it, you can leave a message in the book review~~~
"Yes, it's Heidi, she really doesn't look like a tiger person, her figure is very petite, even more slender than our human noble lady, I have to admit that she is a charming woman, but it's a pity that those rude orcs can't appreciate Miss Heidi's charm at all."
The Pope had already eaten all the sugar in his hand, and he smacked his lips, and he was really amazed when he thought of the first time he saw Heidi.
It was not a very beautiful woman, but she had a temperament that no queen had, her movements were as soft as a spring breeze, her smile and smile were full of stories, and her fair and good-looking chin was slightly raised, showing her nobility and richness, but it did not make people feel unattainable, on the contrary, Heidi's eyes were like magician's hats, and it seemed that the next moment would pop up with unexpected surprises.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen the legendary Heidi, but I've heard her story among the people."
Arthur interrupted the Pope's reverie, a little boy really shouldn't have a memory on his face.
Heidi loves to read and take risks, and these two things really shouldn't be in a person's body.
When she was young, Heidi was like a newborn white rabbit, lively and active, she liked all kinds of new things, not only books, she seemed to be curious about everything, even the sieve of the orcs drying grain, she could stare at it for a morning, she was not in a daze, but studied the texture of the sieve, and in just one morning, she could learn how to make it.
The girl Heidi is even more out of control, she is almost all the races in the orc kingdom, as long as she can learn, she tries her best to master this skill, and the few classics in the orc clan have been read by her.
Heidi was not satisfied, she began to travel the continent, her first goal was the human realm, to study at the mage academy, although she did not have the talent of mage, with her brilliant mind she knew almost all the knowledge of spells, and became a potions master, and later went to the western dwarves, the barbarian lands of the south, and the stormy seas of the east......
Heidi left behind countless legends, the adventures of an unarmed woman until she married a member of the royal family of the Lion Clan, who was Mondo's father.
Many people on the continent have heard of the deeds of this strange orc woman and like to envy her, but she is not very popular among the orcs, because she is too unique and completely different from the nature of orcs. This also includes Mondo's father.
Of course, none of this was important to Arthur.
"Your Majesty, it is said that during her adventures, she found the relics of the five wise men in human history and the strongest ** master in hundreds of years, Akalan."
If Akaran were here, he would be ashamed of the five wise men in history, who was always afraid of death no matter what he achieved, and sold his soul to the Lord of Darkness to become a lich!
This is the reason why he doesn't like people to talk about him as a human, and being a lich has always been a problem in his heart, and he can't offend the scales.
The reason why Arthur was surprised by Heidi's name was not because of Heidi's achievements, but because Acalan was involved! After all, he hadn't even met Heidi.
As the greatest mage of hundreds of years, Akalan's relics must be extremely precious, and this is what makes Arthur's eyes covet! As long as you get the relics of Akalan, not to mention the rich and rival country, even any treasure of Akalan, it will make the mages of the world crazy!
"A relic of Akalan......"
How could the Pope not know what was going on in Acalan's mind? With a deep groan, he turned the candy stick in his hand.
"It's too mysterious, let's not talk about whether Heidi really got the relics of Akalan, and even if she did, what if she did? Who knows what the wise man will leave behind? These are just the ears of those ignorant, if Heidi really has the relics of Akalan, it is impossible for the orcs to be so quiet, and all the mages in the world will rob it! ”
Does Akalan really have a relic? This was the first question that the Pope considered.
What will the wise man leave behind? Spell spells? What do you think? No, Akalan's life was marked by countless accomplishments, including the improvement of the spells of ice spells, the simplification of their learning time and the difficulty of casting spells, all of which were preserved, and all of Akalan's achievements were kept by the Mage Academy.
Or is it a gem core? These are even more unlikely, Acalan obtained the ice materials first to study, and if the research is thorough, he will be embedded in his robe, unless Heidi gets Acalan's robe.
This conjecture is even more improbable, Akalan will wear his robes even if he dies! It is blasphemy that a wise man cannot let people find their remains! Acalan is not without enemies, and he will keep it well, so the setting of the spell material was also denied by the Pope.
The Pope rubbed the corners of his eyes, it was really hard to figure out, what was the relic of Akalan?
"Arthur, the god of light teaches us to believe what we see with our own eyes, and the truth that hides in the shadows will one day be revealed by the sun."
The little pope meant to put Heidi aside.
"Your Majesty, you have a lot of opportunities, and some things are naturally unclear, but I have been with the heirs of Akalan, and they are convinced that Heidi has obtained Akalan's relics, and they also organized a visit to the City of Chaos more than ten years ago......"
Arthur was unwilling, but still wanted to remind him that they still had a chance.
"Hmph." The little Pope snorted lightly, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Arthur, I don't know anything about the Tao in the world, and it is impossible for others to know the Tao, do you think Akaran really went to the Stormy Sea in his later years?" It's just a lie to you ignorant people, how can Akalan's whereabouts be easily exposed? ”
In historical publications, in order to realize his only regret in his later years, Akaran went east to cross the stormy sea and never returned, so everyone believes that Akalan died in the stormy sea, and it is very likely that Kalan in his later years made a home in that sea area, or died in the mouth of the fish.
Without waiting for Arthur to reply, the Pope said, "Okay, you continue to talk about the druids, huh...... Heidi's descendants, what's that little orc? ”
"Mondo, Your Majesty, his name is Mondo."
"He must look a lot like his mother, right? Oh, I still can't forget that woman, even though I've only met Heidi once. The little pope muttered to himself, ignoring Arthur's point.
"Your Majesty, I mean, that orc boy has a contract creature! If he didn't guess wrong, he established the contract through the Ancient Summoning Stone, after all, there are still a few summoning stones left among the orcs, and unexpectedly, his contract creature is an undead! ”
Arthur raised his voice in order to ask the Pope to pay attention to his report, and what he had been helpless about was that every time he reported on his work, the Pope was simply absent-minded!
"Undead?" The Pope sat upright and raised a little interest, "What undead?" ”
It had been a long time since he had heard of such a thing as an undead, and the creatures of the Forsaken Lands could only come to the continent through necromancers, who were basically burned at the stake and punished by the God of Light.
Of course, the Pope knew that it was impossible for the Necromancer to die, and that special group of people living in the darkness was not so easy to exterminate with the protection of the darkness, at least under the deterrence of light, there were very few necromancers active in the Anthropocene realm.
"Skeleton, it's a low-grade bronze skeleton." Arthur replied.
"Just a bronze skeleton?" The Pope rolled his eyes, "I don't think the little bronze skeleton is qualified for you to report to the Pope, or is it that the long comfort makes you slack off, and now it's worth making a fuss about a bronze skeleton?" ”
"Of course not! Your Majesty! Arthur hastened to defend himself, "All creatures that are evil should be destroyed, shouldn't they?" What's more, summoning stones can only sign contracts with creatures like monsters, and no summoner in history can ...... with skeletons."
Arthur's voice grew quieter and quieter, he didn't even make sense for what he wanted to do with the skeleton, although it was unusual, it was just a low-level bronze skeleton after all.
But Arthur always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it, and he suddenly remembered that the little skeleton was wise! Arthur didn't talk much, he didn't want to annoy the Pope anymore and leave a bad impression, the position of the ascetic was already in jeopardy under the impact of the paladin.
"Your Majesty, the focus is on the woman who came later, her strength is unfathomable, and she killed an acolyte before we even saw it......"
Arthur brings the topic back to the fact that the old woman he had always disliked was not saddened by the murder, and if anything, it was because of the anger that the dervishes were despised.
"Don't tell me you're the only one who sent the acolyte!"
The Pope's face sank, this was the worst of the matter, the little boy's face was gloomy, but his pouted appearance was very cute, which made Arthur frightened and powerless.
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, that woman threatens us......"
Arthur explains how they were forced to become hostages, and emphasizes that his companion is still alive, but has been taken away. The Pope knows very well that although the ascetic group is old-fashioned, but their strength is not weak, but they were beaten by a woman and have no power to fight back, who has the strength in the end, and who has the courage to oppose the Illuminati?
"What does that woman look like?"
The Pope searched for the characters in his mind, and he couldn't think of anyone on the continent who could compete with the Illuminati.
"She's ...... Enchanting, yes, enchanting. Arthur stole a glance at the Pope to make sure he wasn't angry, "She's a very sexy woman, I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Pope, but I have to say that, her weapon seems to be a red feather, by the way, her name is Elena, and there are too many people called Elena in the world......"
Hearing the red feather and the name Elena, a man came to the Pope's mind, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, close his eyes and be silent for a long time.
It can't be her, it's not her, how can it be her? The Pope was wondering, or praying, that the man had said not to step out of the frozen forest, and not to interfere with things on the continent.
"Your Majesty?"
Silence the Pope, Arthur reminded him.
"Oh, I can't think of who this woman is." The Pope lied, he didn't want to mention.
"Ha Luha, I said who would dare to anger the Illuminati, it turns out that that woman is just a nobody, and she will not send the ascetics back obediently? Your Majesty is here, and she also said that she will come to take my head in a year, which is really ridiculous, who dares to commit murder under the light of the God of Light? ”
Arthur pretended to be a light-hearted joke, and soon realized that the Pope was not laughing.
"By the way, Arthur, you still have to go to the City of Chaos, go and bring that orc boy to the Cult of Light, just say that the Pope has an order, suspect that there is a dark aura in Mondo's body, and conduct a routine check."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is ...... The orcs won't agree. ”
Arthur frowned, and said in embarrassment, no matter how powerful the Light Sect is, it is impossible to interfere with the orc kingdom, or to bring back the descendants of the orc royal family, where are the orcs willing to bow their heads and obey?
"Do as I say, on the orc side, they will agree, remember, it's just a routine check, no matter what the result is, the little orc will return it without hurting a single hair. If you can't do something as simple as this, you don't have to come back, stay in the City of Chaos. ”
"Yes......"
The Pope's order was irrefutable, there was no room for negotiation, and Arthur could only accept it with a bitter face.
"Alright, Arthur, stand down."
The Pope finally waved his hand, refusing to dwell on it any longer, and spoke.
Arthur bowed when he heard this, and withdrew from the Temple of Light, the sun shone on his face, as if the God of Light was blessing him and giving him blessings, and he had made great contributions to the Illuminati, maybe he would go down in history in the future, thinking of this, Arthur was extremely relaxed and happy.
It's just that Arthur didn't know what to say, when he walked out of the Temple of Light, the little Pope looked at his back, like looking at a dead man, the Pope felt an incomparable headache, Arthur, this idiot will die, and bring back a bunch of troubles, and there is a sentence in his mouth.
"Since she said that you will be capitated in a year, you will not be able to live for two years."
