Chapter 697: Seal the Key
The princess took the ghost slave and watched the game all the time, and when she was about to return to the house, she received news from the palace guard, saying that her father was waiting for her in the palace, and that she had something important to discuss with her.
The princess was full of suspicion, her father Rodhart had not been in power for a long time, for hundreds of years, most of the affairs had been handed over to herself and the great wizards, almost never in person, even she had not seen her father for a long time, what caused this, she herself had no way of knowing.
When she arrived at the palace, the princess asked the ghost slaves and the guards to wait outside the palace gate, and she entered the palace alone.
Entering the palace hall, the princess was surprised to see that in addition to Rodhart sitting in a precarious position, there were also the great wizard Cambiaso and the necromancer Mordo, who were also standing at the bottom of the palace and listening.
"Your Majesty!" The princess saluted and said.
"Vidnia, you've come just in time!" Rodhart was visibly overjoyed to see Princess Vidnia, and his spirits were lifted, and he stood up with a smile, and walked down from the throne himself, took Vidnia's hand, and looked up and down the daughter he had not seen for a long time.
Vidnina was flattered, and didn't know why her father was completely different from usual today, and hurriedly said: "My father hurriedly summoned his sons to the palace, I don't know what instructions there are!" β
Only then did Rodhart say: "Today, Cambiaso and Mordo are two Aiqing looking for their father to report important matters, this king is lazy, and there are too many wasted government affairs, and some places can't make up their minds, so I asked you to help my father sort out!" β
Vidnina then stepped forward to salute Cambiaso and Moldo. These two are also important ministers around their father, Cambiaso is the main wizard to sort out government affairs, Rodhart is not often in charge, they are all handed over to Cambiaso to deal with, Cambiaso is actually equivalent to the status of the prime minister, handling government affairs is polite and courteous, and the country of the dead can re-emerge and revive after the war thousands of years ago, Cambiaso has contributed a lot. Another necromancer, Mordo, although his position is not high, has won the trust of his father, and he is active in foreign affairs such as diplomatic relations and etiquette all the year round, and he is also prosperous, bringing endless wealth to the country of the undead. And Vidrina herself is mainly in control of the army, especially the Dark Knight Legion, which is the most powerful army in the undead country, and is firmly in her own hands.
Cambiaso and Moldor also hurriedly returned the salute to Vidnina, and then returned to their respective places.
"Father laughed!" Vidnina smiled, "How dare the retainer take the idea for his father? Father has something, just tell us to do it! Besides, isn't there still Lord Cambiaso and Lord Moldo, how can it be the son's turn to speak? β
"In the ancient war thousands of years ago, this king was seriously injured and his skills were greatly reduced, and for hundreds of years, he has been disheartened and has no intention of government, thanks to a few of you!" Rodhart said, "Especially Lord Moldor, for the matter of gathering resentful spirits in my undead country, he has worked hard and involved in danger between the major clan forces, so that the power of resentful spirits has continuously converged to my undead country, and this king has also benefited a lot, and his body injuries are no longer serious, and his strength is gradually recovering." My undead clan has endured for thousands of years, and finally completed the important task of recovery, the three of you are great, and now is the time for my undead clan to make a big difference! β
"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and Weichen is ashamed!" Moldor said, "Your Majesty's physical recovery is indeed gratifying! Now the situation is very good, the surface forces of Middle-earth have lost their elites after the Great War in Antiquity, they have not yet recovered, the magic guilds have declined and withered, and the various forces have been fighting each other for many years, and the grudges are deep. Moreover, the Abyssal Hell Clan has become incompatible with the various forces on the surface of Middle-earth, and wars are frequent, and both sides are greatly damaged. At this time, my undead clan is rising rapidly and completing the great cause of unifying the entire dimension! β
"Your Majesty is eloquent, and Weichen and others are greatly encouraged!" Cambiaso said, "If Your Majesty wants to wash away the humiliation of my undead clan thousands of years ago and raise the prestige of my undead country, as long as you give an order, although Weichen can't come to the battlefield in person, he will definitely do a good job of logistics support for the army in the rear, and he will do his best to die!" β
"Hahaha, the two Aiqing are loyal, they should be role models, we and other monarchs and ministers are single-minded, and we will definitely be able to be ashamed!" Rodhart laughed and said, "Vidnina, what do you think?" β
"My father has a heart to be ashamed, and my son will definitely lead the army to take the lead and share his father's worries!" "But Erchen thinks the time is not yet ripe! A story of the undead clan has accumulated disadvantages for thousands of years, and it has just improved in the past thirty years, although the seal of a thousand years ago has been loosened, it is still a shackle on the neck of my people; Second, whether it is the Abyss Hell Clan or the surface forces, although there are many maladministrations and contradictions are deepening, they have a strong foundation after all, otherwise how could I return every time I thought that the undead clan had a good time every time for tens of thousands of years? A lesson from the past, a division of the future, Erchen is not cowardly, but hopes that we will make more adequate preparations, if we don't fight, we will win! β
"Well said!" Rodhart said, "What Vidynina said is really a move to seek the country, and it is exactly what this king wants!" Last time, because we were not in a hurry to fight, we couldn't take care of the front and rear, and our army was weak in follow-up, so the forces on the surface took advantage of the front, and the Abyss Hell Clan took advantage of the hole in our rear! This king still thinks about it, and he is still very annoyed! Since we are not sure that we will annex the Abyss Hell Clan and the surface forces in one bite, then we will destroy the Abyss Hell Clan first, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue and bring the power of destroying the country to wipe out the forces on the surface of the Middle Earth in one fell swoop! But now, first of all, we have to find a way to solve the problem of sealing thousands of years ago, Moldo, Vidnina, this matter is left to you! β
"Leave it to us?" Vidnina asked in surprise, "How did we break the Magic Mage Seal?" β
"Don't worry, princess, Weichen has a way!" Moldor laughed.
"What's the solution?"
"Although it is the Magical Mage Association that imposes a seal on our Undead Kingdom, it is the Abyss Hell Clan that regulates it!" Mordo said, "For thousands of years, the Abyssal Hell Clan has been enslaving our undead nation, and we have been forbearing, and finally they let their guard down, and opened a sealed passage hundreds of years ago, so that I can enter and exit the abyssal passage and the surface. After many investigations and reconnaissance, I have learned that there are two keys to open the seal of our people, both in the hands of the Abyss Hell Clan, I already know the approximate direction, as long as we take advantage of the Abyss Hell Clan's unpreparedness, we steal the key, and we will definitely be able to unlock the seal shackles! β
"Two keys? All in the hands of the Abyssal Hell Clan? Vidrina asked in surprise, "Even if it is sealed by the Abyss Hell Clan, how can the Magic Mage Guild rest assured that the Abyss Hell Clan will give them all the two keys?" What's more, since they want to seal my undead clan, why do they still leave the key to give us a chance, can't they destroy the key? β
"The princess didn't know that the treasure that sealed my undead clan turned out to be the most precious treasure of my peopleβthe cursed armor and the cloak of the undead! Only these two treasures can hold the seal, and these two treasures are not only the treasures of the seal, but also the key to open the seal. Originally, the Abyssal Hell Clan was in charge of the cursed armor, and the Magic Mage Association was in control of the Undead Cloak, and sent people to supervise it day and night! Ironically, not long after sealing us, the Magical Mage Association disappeared, so the keys were in the hands of the Abyss Hell Clan! β
"Cursed armor? Cloak of the Dead? The stakes are high, and there are many doubts here, and we must be cautious! Videnina said in surprise, "If we fail to steal, but we will be surprised, we will not gain more than we lose, and we may never come out!" β
"Your Highness Princess, do you know why the Magical Mage Association disappeared?" Moldor smirked.
"What? Lord Moldor actually knows? β
"How could I not have known that this was my masterpiece!" Mordo said, "It was I who secretly stirred up the relationship between the Abyssal Hell and the Magical Mage, causing them to kill each other! I used the Soul Curse to control a badly injured magician and slaughter a castle of the Abyssal Hell, the Abyss Hellclan was terrified and enraged, and regarded the magicians who guarded the seal as mortal enemies, and finally joined forces with me to use the explosion of Abyssal Helllava to trap all the magicians in several underground furnaces for hundreds of years, and they did not know whether they lived or died! But in the process of teaming up to destroy the Magic Mage Association, I secretly let one go! Therefore, we don't have to worry about the surface forces and the Abyss Hell Clan uniting against us, because the magic mage who ran away will eventually reveal the truth about the destruction of the Magic Mage Association. β
"Hahaha, Lord Mordo, over the years, has traveled back and forth between various forces, and everyone has been able to play with ease!" Rodhart said, "Vidrina, this time you and Lord Moldor will go to the Abyss Hell Clan together, waiting for the opportunity to destroy the seal, this king and all the people, I hope you will return to the dynasty in victory!" β
Vidnina smiled, "Since Lord Moldor has been prepared for a long time, why do I need to make such a move? Wouldn't it be better to leave this credit to Lord Moldor for himself? β
Mordo smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, although I have a deep relationship with the Abyss Hell Clan, but after all, people are soft-spoken, a necromancer, others may not take me seriously, and this matter must be done by the princess herself!" β
"Wouldn't it be better if no one noticed you?" Vidrina said, "If I go to the Abyssal Hellclan with great fanfare, won't I be afraid of arousing their disgust? β
"Vidnina, this king has sent you to Gehana, the royal city of the Abyssal Hell Clan, to officially discuss the intersection of the two countries on behalf of this king!" Rodhart said, "The Abyssal Hellclan and the surface forces are in full swing, they need our support, we also need to get their mercury mines, your royal status can attract their attention, so that Lord Moldor can do things in secret!" The two of you should work together inside and outside, and you will definitely succeed immediately! β
But, my father ......, "Vidnia, hurry!
"Well, what? You don't want to share your father's worries? Rodhart glared at Vidnina angrily and said coldly.
"Yes, the retainers are ordered!" Vidnina said reluctantly, "The son is willing to cooperate sincerely with Lord Moldor to share his father's worries!" β
"That's good, rest assured, the country has its own king and Cambiaso-sama cooking, and this king looks forward to your early return!"
