Chapter Seventy-Seven: Opportunity
The capital of the Emperor is filled with gunsmoke. After a series of fierce battles, the orc army finally withdrew from the imperial capital. The imperial team paid a great price to finally keep the capital of the empire.
This is a miraculous reversal! When the victory was confirmed, the joyous waves of the palace front swept the heavens and the earth.
However, Lawrence, the second prince of the empire, who has been promoted to the official wing captain of the Royal Knights and played a key role in the war, knows very well what kind of game and compromise the orc army will withdraw.
Emperor ** is not really a reversal of defeat into victory, but under the leadership of his family, he plays a good role as a hard bone. Although the whole army has achieved good results in bloody battles, this positioning cannot make the emperor of tactics feel much pride.
To put it bluntly, the imperial capital was able to be saved, largely by relying on that man to a certain extent. Mesodamil. If it weren't for this person, the Imperial Capital Army would not be able to save the fall of the capital even if it was strengthened tenfold.
Orc Expert Adventure Guild Master, Benefactor of the Empire, Savior Sage" All kinds of titles have been spread throughout the imperial capital, from nobles to commoners, from emperors to small soldiers. Either. Those who survived knew about this man's name and his outstanding achievements.
He's not a legendary mage, but he's more of an uncanny legend than all the legendary mages who have contributed to the war. In the oral recitation of the survivors, the aura imposed on him transcended a certain boundary, and some people even erected a monument to him and prayed every day, simply offering him as a god.
In the beginning, when the imperial capital was facing the crisis of falling, the arrival of Sayelem was not taken very seriously.
This can be seen from the fact that His Majesty the Emperor appointed the "incompetent prince" Lawrence and his partner, and the high-ranking figures in the imperial capital did not think that a mere adventurous union member who volunteered to rescue could have much impact on the war situation.
However, after that, Sayereng shocked everyone with his skills. He relied on himself, without troops or things, and went alone to negotiate with the officers of the orc army, and actually dragged the orc army for seven days.
Seven days is enough time to do a lot of things, and the emperor ** did his best to improve the palace defense line. When Sayereng returned and the orc army attacked, the sage suggested that a slight change in the tactical arrangement inflicted unprecedented casualties on the orc army.
It was a thrilling victory. As soon as he went, Sayereng immediately became a hot figure, and Lawrence, who was nominally his partner, had a deep understanding.
Soon, the sage of the Adventure Guild was changed to be directly accountable to the emperor, and no one dared to despise his existence anymore.
During the war, Sayerem's fame and status in the imperial capital skyrocketed faster than a rocket, far surpassing any other in history. A record of the rise of nobles or commoners, even if it is the victory of the Three Kingdoms Conference and the magical fire mage Chongyang, who almost ascended to the sky in one step. Bright can't be compared either.
The magical fire mage from the nobility of the countryside is quite talented, but unfortunately he encounters an accident and lives and dies, and this adventurous sage with a god-like appearance became a viscount of the empire in less time than him, and then became an earl in less than five days, and a marquis in less than three days"
Although the title of Marquis is still nominal, it is already very scary. The time from obscurity to the height of the day is unique in the history of the Empire.
Moreover, this is only the beginning of the legend.
The top brass of the Imperial Capital, including Lawrence, knew that when the orc army retreated from the Imperial Capital, new attacks were launched in all directions throughout the empire. The web of war against the invasion of the mysterious orcs has just begun, and Sayerem is destined to become a savior in the Wren Empire.
"Beast Emperor Gate" This is what Sayelen told the Empire, the key to why the orc army was able to travel long distances and invade the Rennes Imperial Capital from the northern wilderness.
The essence of the "Floating Emperor Gate" is said to be a spatial rift that has been broken by the connection between the god-level world and the big world, and it has been created into a stable state that can transport personnel and materials, which is equivalent to a super-large space teleportation array.
The approximate process should be that the orc army set out from a distant country, enter the god-level world, and then open the spatial rift linked to the front of the Rennes Imperial Capital, form the "Beast Emperor Gate", and then cross the rift from the god-level world, arrive at the imperial capital, and then launch an invasion.
It sounds incredible, but it turns out to be true, and in the late stages of the Imperial Capital's war, the Magic Scout witnessed the massive spatial arch that stood tall above the sky.
There must be a lot of money to be paid for using this method, but the orcs can use it, and they will continue to use it.
According to the news that has reached the imperial capital so far, it can be inferred that at least three "Beast Emperor Gates" have been opened in different regions of the empire.
The Xenomorph War has officially broken out, and the Empire has sent a senior foreign minister to urgently go to the Shura Alliance to negotiate with the kingdom. This is not just a crisis for the Wren Empire, but for the entire human race.
Lawrence, who had received a summons from the waiter and was talking to Danielle about Roseali's condition, had to leave the room and go to meet the sage.
Walking in the corridor of the castle, the second prince of the empire looked at the desolate city through the arched windowsills.
The prosperous imperial capital was destroyed by nearly half of it in the repeated battles with the emperor ** and the orc army. As far as the eye can see, there are collapsed houses, broken walls and ruins, and people who are either sluggish and numb, or wandering in a daze, or sad and painful.
The reconstruction work has just begun, and there are as many things that need to be done, from basic water and food supply, to medical treatment, shelter placement, battlefield clearance, survivorship rescue, etc., and so on.
When the imperial capital was still prosperous, not many people realized that living well could be such a luxurious behavior.
The aristocracy had been badly injured in the war, not to mention the common people and even the poor. In an emotional environment of despair, confusion, anguish, grief and indignation, famine, pestilence, riots, and chaos are all situations that must be strictly prevented.
Lawrence is an officer of the Knights, and the civil affairs are not under his control, and he does not know the specific situation, so he can only try to keep himself optimistic and believe that everything will be fine.
In just a few months, the second prince of the empire, who has experienced a lifetime, has become more mature and vicissitudes than before.
Arriving at the hall where the waiter had spoken, he found that there were already several people here.
Wearing a military overcoat. The man with a straight spine sat in a leather chair in the hall near the fireplace, closing his eyes to a steaming cup of royal tea.
And in his repetition, the tall woman with half of her face covered by green silk lowered her eyebrows slightly, and tasted black tea in a dignified manner.
She wore a pale red windproof cloak and a fur suit, a black leather coat that hugged her skin tightly to outline her tall and slender waist, and black leather trousers that wrapped her slender and round legs, and her figure did not look plump. But it has a slender and sexy charm.
On the balcony outside the hall, a handsome man wearing a blue striped robe, with fine blue hair and fine blue hair, was conversing happily with a burly man with dark skin tied to his forehead with a golden bee emblem and national gauze ribbon.
The two have very different appearances, but their temperaments complement each other, one is personable, the other is cheerful and refreshing, standing together and talking and laughing, it seems quite speculative.
Lawrence certainly knew all four of them, and he had something in common with them.
"All five of the five men who had been admired by Marshal Fascis are here. ”
The only woman present, Duke Audrey, put down her teacup. He said coldly.
"And the so-called sage hasn't appeared yet, so let's five of us wait for him here, it's quite a big shelf. ”
In his arrogant tone, there was a clear hint of disdain for that person.
Across from her, Fana slowly opened his eyes, his brown eyes shining like a sword unsheathed.
The marshal's grandson was silent and didn't say anything in the face of the duchess's dissatisfaction, turned his head to look at Lawrence, who had just entered the door, and waved his hand to invite the other party to sit down next to him.
On the balcony, the Colonel of the Knights, Enade, and Clarence, the nephew of Prince Roncy, also stopped talking and walked into the hall, and found a place to sit down.
The five people sitting around the table were representatives of one generation of the four clans of the Rennes royal family, and at this time, they gathered together, recalling the past days, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
But at the end of the day, no one here spoke to reminisce about the past.
After all, as a competitor, it can be said that there are almost no memories of good interactions. Enade and Clarence seemed to have a good conversation just now, but in a sense, they were quite similar, and they both knew that there was not much sincerity in each other's superficial enthusiasm.
Instead of summoning the waiter, Fana poured a cup of tea for Lawrence with his own hands. This move surprised the second prince of the empire a little, but looking at the other party's eyes, he immediately understood the meaning of this move.
"I don't know much about Sayerem. ”
He picked up the fragrant black tea and said, "Although I am nominally his partner, you should know that before I actually partner with him, he is directly responsible to my imperial brother and father. ”
This sentence is a bit subtle, but the other four people present are all first-class smart people, and it is easy to understand what the second prince means.
"As far as I can see, this kid is a monster.
Clarence then spoke, his mouth curling in a strange arc, his distinctive orange eyes glittering faintly.
No one was surprised by his abrupt and sharp assessment.
The deeds of Sayelem are hardly convincing even if they take place as far as the eye can see. The fact that he single-handedly delayed the orc army for seven days was enough to make people have endless reverie.
The five men present were all members of the elite generation, whose names still sound very loud to many of their peers, and gathering in private to wait to meet a younger generation of juniors was something that no one dared to believe before.
"He's supposed to be an orc spy. Audrey sneered.
This speculation is typical of conspiracy theories, and it's just a cold joke to put out here. The duchess's statement seemed vicious, but in fact it was just a way to ease her self-esteem.
Savior, the halo is dazzling. No matter how generous the young elite is, how many dark and uncomfortable psychology will be born under this light. The Duchess has no intention of over-concealing this, and even shows it a little stubbornly, showing her privilege as a woman.
Fana, who has a calm demeanor and expression, may not be as calm as he looks.
In fact, he is the one who should be restless the most. As the grandson of the marshal, it can be said that it is his birthright to inherit his grandfather's career, but the guy who was born at the time of the crisis of the imperial capital has really gone too far.
Not to mention, Sayerem's appearance was so similar to that of a small country nobleman who had made him suffer a big loss.
"It is said that he and Chongyang. Bright, related?"
Enade spoke softly, and in an inquiring tone, he said what was in the heart of the marshal's grandson.
Lawrence glanced at the Colonel of the Order.
"Where did you hear that?"
"I have my intelligence channels, Your Royal Highness. ”
The second banquet of the empire was cold, and the colonel of the 10th Cavalry Regiment had a mild face, and the collision between the two produced sparks.
"Is it true? He's Chongyang. Bright's brother?"
Fana's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he opened his mouth to plunge between the two opposing enemies.
"The news I have heard seems to be so, but I believe that His Royal Highness knows more about it. The Enyad smiled harmlessly.
"I've only heard about it, and I haven't confirmed it. Lawrence was silent for a while before he spoke, the figure of a silver-haired woman flashing in his mind.
"It's highly likely that they look that alike, they're brothers, but they don't have the same surnames, and people who don't necessarily look alike are brothers," Clarence touched his chin.
At the end of the day, I still don't know anything.
Mysterious, powerful, erudite, and almost omnipotent, the adventurous guild sage who saved the imperial capital, finally stepped into the hall just as the five of them fell into a complete silence.
"Sorry, there was something happening at the moment, so I was delayed. ”
Still wearing the half-length cloak engraved with the unique insignia, the expression was calm, and the eyes were indifferent. Mesodamir, apologetic words in her mouth. But there is not much apology.
As soon as he arrived, a strong personal aura enveloped one side of the space, as if he was the master of this side.
These days, the Savior's meteoric rise in status and authority in the imperial capital has given him a majesty similar to aura magic.
The Lawrence Five were a little depressed, and no one greeted or greeted them. However, ignoring the superficial ignorance on the surface, the five people noticed for the first time that behind the sage who appeared on the stage, there was also a mysterious person shrouded in a gray hooded robe.
This person should be male in terms of body shape, and at first glance it is inconspicuous, but the faint gaze that shoots out from under the gray hood makes people feel a sense of jealousy like a man's back.
Pry.
As a woman, Audrey, who was the most sensitive to sight among the five, clearly felt that her good posture had been swept from head to toe by the gray-robed man. Obviously wearing clothes, but it was as ashamed as if he was naked ** being spied on, and it was very uncomfortable.
The duchess looked angry and glared at the gray-robed man with almost murderous eyes, and at the same time involuntarily shrank back.
The other four men didn't feel as strongly as the duchess, but they also had the feeling of being completely seen through, which was really an unpleasant experience.
"All of you here, when you see the others, you should understand why I have called you here. ”
Sayereng gets straight to the point.
"I've read the full history of each of you, and I admit that the old man's vision is indeed good, and your performance in the battle of the Imperial Capital is a testament to yourself, so I chose you to give you a chance to truly become a pillar of the Empire.
The five people present looked at each other. Sayerem's condescending gestures and words provoked their disgust, but more often than not, they were surprised and confused.
"To be called a savior, do you really think you are a savior?" said Audrey coldly at first, "Choose, give What do you think you are, and who are you to say such things to us?"
The eyes of the four men were different, but the meaning expressed at this time was surprisingly consistent.
Ignoring the resistance of the five people, and without explaining anything, Sayereng raised his right hand and made a gesture, and the silent gray-robed man behind him spread his hands, and the palms of his hands converged with a strange gray first.
"Holy Spirit Magician!" Fana rose from his chair in fear.
"That's a number!?" The sharp-eyed Clarence saw the true form of the light on the gray-robed man's hand: it turned out to be a series of arcane runes composed of extremely tiny numbers!
"The calculation begins, the target person, Lawrence. Wren, Fana. Wren, Clarence. Wren, Audrey. Renard, Enade. Bipps"
The gray-robed mouth muttered, his hands were raised, and he moved into a circle, intertwining into a dark gray and light gray magic circle in front of his chest.
This magic array is like a mirror but not a mirror, like transparent and not transparent, and the figures of the five people present are reflected in it, and a large number of digital runes are vaguely derived.
The five of them remained on high alert, but seeing that the gray-robed man's magic array was not aggressive, they froze in place, nervously and puzzledly watching the various changes in their shadows in the digital magic array.
The gray-robed man maintained the magic array, his hands constantly rounded, and his mouth kept chanting something in a low voice.
A series of rune numbers and digital graphics were displayed on the magic array, intertwined vertically and horizontally, producing decomposition" In the end, the hands of the gray-robed man gradually closed the magic array, compressing the entire magic array until it was completely integrated into the palm of his hand.
"The calculations are complete and the results are reported. ”
A calm and rigid voice rang out throughout the hall.
"Lawrence. Wren, probable chance of awakening: 73.46 percent. Probable chance of mutation: 9.15 percent. Fana. Wren, Awakening Mutation Chance: 90 percent, 95 percent. Probable Mutation Chance: 5.40 percent, Clarence "Audrey" Enade
Awakening, mutation, probability?
Lawrence and the others listened to this report, completely stunned, with astonishment, dazedness, and suddenness in their eyes.
This is the possibility that you will be able to achieve awakening, and you will decide within the next seven days whether you want to accept the opportunity I have given you and try to evolve into an awakened one. ”
Saye said lightly, as if everything was under control, like a god.
