Earlier.

Even though half of the blocks had fallen, there were still a few "quiet" corners of the "pure white city" that no one bothered until now.

In a dilapidated old house.

"John Goth," Peter Cliff, the black-robed "Emperor of the Eternal Night," sat on a large black sofa chair and calmly sipped a sip of the vermilion fruit wine in his hand, "If I were you, I wouldn't be in a hurry to leave." Why not sit down and have a drink? ”

Goth glared at him.

"I should have thought of it," he said, "you and the Okadians — you've been in collusion for a long time. ”

"No, no," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" snapped his fingers, and another wine glass suspended in the air flew automatically towards Goth, "You misunderstood. I don't know anything about Mr. Nicholas's plans—or how could I have chosen to invite you here today? Thanks to him, all my plans have come to naught. ”

Gort, who took the glass, hesitated. This is the enemy's territory, and rejecting his offer may anger him.

Feeling the aroma of wine gradually spreading in his mouth, Goth's impatient mood gradually calmed down.

"That's right," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" smiled with satisfaction, "I have searched for the 'Black Apostle', and you are the only one who is qualified to be my right and left hand." Levi is a bastard who waits for a price, but his crappy acting skills can't even be hidden from a four-year-old. Simon has some potential, but unfortunately, his weakness is too obvious. ”

"I remember how many more ladies were in the 'Black Apostles'......"

"Woman? Don't be funny," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" dismissed, "their sensibilities will ruin everything sooner or later." Me or you in the past, you can deal with all three of them alone. ”

"You are really merciless to your sisters," said Goth, "and you do not hide your ...... at all"

"'Evil,'" said the "Emperor of the Night" himself, as if it were a tribute to him, "do you want to say that?" ”

Goth shook his head.

"No, you're just used to exaggerating your strength," he said honestly, "I've never met anyone more confident than you." ”

But beneath your wild exterior, there's no cunning to any mage I've ever seen, Goth thought to himself.

The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" burst out laughing.

"Thank you for the compliment," he said, "and I mean the part you didn't say. ”

Goth's face changed slightly: "You spied on my thoughts?" ”

"Only for a moment," said the Emperor of the Eternal Night, "you have no power before me, but a lamb to the slaughter." I'm not the same person I used to be, and I have the leisure to stare at other people's souls all the time. ”

I'm afraid that some of the Black Apostles are already on Okad's side, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" thought. Levy, in particular, if he makes up his mind to cooperate with Okade, he will definitely be eager to make a contribution to improve his position under the Speaker.

It's a pity that Levy's attitude of "always standing by the victor" has long been seen by legendary mages. Speaker Nicholas could not have fully trusted Levy.

And he, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night", was the first to reach an agreement with Nicholas, and his contribution to Okard has long been no less than that of "Eternal Blood". The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" is not a subordinate of the Speaker, he has the greatest freedom of movement, and his relationship with the French Power and the Empire has long since broken down, and the Speaker is not worried that he will suddenly betray Okad.

Even he suggested to Speaker Nicholas...... If Lévi is willing to switch to Okard, he will temporarily give him command of the army of the undead. As for whether doing so will make Levy's strength overly inflated?

"The Eternal Night Emperor" has defeated Levi once, and once he shows a threat to himself, he'll be confident to beat him a second time.

Goth, on the other hand, has no memory of his brothers and sisters. He is concerned about the image of himself in the past, which is revealed in the words of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night".

"I'm a ...... People who will often snoop on other people's thoughts? ”

"You are a master of mind reading," said the Emperor of the Eternal Night, "talented, unscrupulous, fearless, and always in the palm of your hand, no matter how powerful your opponents may be." ”

"That sounds pretty good." Goth said, his eyes drifting out the window.

Looking at the familiar city of devastation, Goth's heart was like a knife, but in front of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night", he didn't dare to show too much anxiety. The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" must have set up a barrier around this old house, and neither the scattered spirits nor the soldiers of Okad approached it.

The drizzle continued to fall, and Goth could hear shouts of killing in the distance. At the end of the canopy, two vague and majestic figures were fighting.

In this hell on earth - the only thing I can do is to accompany this outlaw to watch the play together!

"Tell me," Goth whispered, "what do I have to do to get my old self back?" ”

"Even if you become a mage again, you're only a beginner in the blue ocean, and you're not enough to change the tide of battle for the legendary spellcasters," said the Eternal Night Emperor, "and it's too late." ”

"It doesn't matter," said Goth, "if I, as a mage, am as clever as you describe, I must have expected him to think now. Tell me about it. How did I give up my mage status and let most people, including myself, forget about it? What can I do to change the situation? ”

Goth keenly caught the difference between the "Emperor of the Night" and Victoria's description of "himself as a mage". The mage Goth that Victoria remembers seems to be a wise man with a sense of justice, while the mage Goth spoken of by the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" is even more uninhibited, and belongs to the same type as the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" himself.

Compared with the two, the impression of the girl is more in line with her current self. Goth is also willing to believe that even if he retrieves his spell-casting ability, he will not be in cahoots with the "Emperor of the Eternal Night".

"I can tell," said the Emperor of the Eternal Night, "that you are desperately thirsting for power. In your memory...... You've never been so longing. ”

I crave power because I need it to protect my friends, Goth thought to himself, and you just crave absolute domination over others. We are fundamentally different.

If the girl hadn't come to her...... With the words of the "Eternal Night Emperor" alone, I guess I wouldn't be so eager to recover my strength. It's better to become an evil mage than to maintain the status quo. But the girl's presence convinces Goth that his past self is worth resurrecting, a kind spellcaster.

I don't know where the "Bright World" is at this time - did she escape without any problems? As long as you retrieve the cast ability of the "Star of the Stars" yourself...... It will definitely help her.

"It's ......"

Suddenly, the horizon in the distance lit up with a dazzling light.

That was the light of the "Obsidian Falcon" and the "Golden Rider" each using their strongest blows to fight with all their might.

----------------------

Goths and the "Emperor of the Night" were so far away from the center of the confrontation that Goths couldn't even decide who would win or lose.

But for a girl who is relatively close......

She saw the scene of the "Obsidian Falcon" and the "Blue Gold Rider" collapsing at the same time.

With the super vision bestowed by the "perfect body" and the "eagle eye technique" that was urgently blessed by herself, she could also see clearly, the red dot that the "Golden Rider" had turned back - Emperor Dietford III - fell to the ground, and the gray dot in the "Obsidian Falcon" still stood above the sky.

The Empire and the French Powers lost.

The Confederation won.
