Chapter 31: The Fountain of the Elves (1)

The palace of Eramus was surrounded by various troops, and no one saw what was really going on here.

Asgar, the chief paladin of Tnostea, thrust his sword back into its scabbard, his brown eyebrows like mountain peaks, and dark clouds of darkness hung over them.

Asgar carefully and respectfully knelt down beside Eramus: "Wiser, what the hell is going on here? ”

Eramus did not answer him.

At this moment, Ilamos's face is like the ground where the roots of a tree protrude, and the wisdom looming in his eyes is also deeply buried by old age and tiredness.

Eramus just stared silently at the young, weak and helpless Butos, who had just made a big mistake.

Asgar followed Eramus's gaze, where Butos was sitting on the ground and clutching his knees and crying.

Asgar's brow was still tight, he didn't care about the fate of Butos, he only cared about the comfort of Eramus, who was an indispensable spear and shield for Tenosdia.

Asgar tries to pick up Eramus, but is stopped by him.

"I can't get it back...... Tell Your Highness that disaster is about to strike in the northwest, and that catastrophe will finally befall you......" Iramos' voice trembled and hoarse.

Asgar envelops Eramos with a holy light spell, and he tries to heal his injuries.

However, IlamΓ³s was not injured in any way, he just had his breath of life weakened......

"Wise, you are ......" Asgar's eyes stared, he couldn't believe that a mage from the Empire would overdraw his life: "I will convey it to Your Highness, but the matter of the Black Marsh, except for the Wise, no one in the Empire can control it, I must cure the Wise!"

In Asgar's view, the current situation in Eramos is all due to the Black Swamp.

Eramus sighed, "The undead have been manipulated, evil spirits are plagued everywhere, and the demon king is about to be resurrected...... A hundred years of comfort are over......"

Asgar's left hand gripped the hilt of his sword: "I will guard the light in the name of the paladin!"

Eramos shook his head slowly, "I believe you, Paladin Asgar, but now we have to make a choice. ”

Asgar looked at Eramus with endless admiration and obedience in his eyes.

Eramus's gaze fell on Butos again: "Go and convey to Your Highness, the wizard of the Tenotian Empire, Iramos, requests a war meeting......"

In the war chamber of the Tenotian Empire, the king was seated as chairman, and the leaders were divided into two factions, while Butos was placed in the far corner.

At the request of Eramos, Butos was required to attend the meeting.

The king was the first to ask the senile Eramus: "Wise mage, tell me why this child is present at such an important meeting. ”

Eramus struggled to his feet, and then saluted the king: "Your Highness, please allow me to explain the reason why this child is here, and now I have more important information to convey to you." ”

The king nodded slightly, signaling himself to allow Eramus to continue.

Eramos tapped his new staff on the ground, and the table burst into a sheepskin scroll-colored glow.

A few seconds later, a map appeared on the conference table, mountains, canyons, streams, deserts...... Every landscape is as real as it is, and in the center of the map is the largest kingdom of mankind, Tenosdia.

"Your Highness, some time ago, I saw the undead scattered in the Black Swamp, so I went to the Black Swamp to find out the situation. Eramus said slowly, a faint glow from the black swamp on the far northwest side of the map, "However, things are much worse than I thought......

Everyone in the room had serious expressions, and Butos was even more so.

Butos knew that it could all be related to himself......

Eramus continued, "I met a priestess outside the Black Swamp who was suspected to be an orc, and she had mastered the ability to manipulate the undead, and although she only knew the most basic necromancy, I was no match for it. ”

The Imperial Staff Officer interrupted Eramus in the middle of his speech: "Imperial Mage, your predecessor once sealed the boundaries of the Black Swamp, are you sure that the undead in the Black Swamp have escaped from the Black Swamp?"

Eramus coughed lightly twice, "Most of the undead are led out. The souls of the dead are not locked in the black swamp, but they are attracted by the power of the most evil and dark to wander around, but this evil and dark force has now broken away from the black swamp. ”

"What!" the third general of the empire was incredulous, "that poisonous dragon tens of thousands of years ago?

IRAMUS EXPLAINS: "THE PREDECESSORS DID DEFEAT MOSIHRZA, BUT MOSIHRZA'S SOUL WAS NOT DAMAGED. FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, COUNTLESS SOULS HAVE BEEN ATTRACTED TO THE SOUL OF MOSIHRZA AND EVENTUALLY CONVERGED ON THE BLACK MARSH. And the seal of the Black Swamp is only for the living from outside. BUT IF THE LIVING CAN ENTER THE BLACK MARSH, THEN THE SOUL OF MOSIHRZA CAN TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LODGE AND LEAVE THE BLACK MARSH, AND AS LONG AS THERE IS NO SUNLIGHT, IT CAN REMAIN PARASITIC. ”

Eramus called to Butos: "Little Butos, take out the ring." ”

Butos was a little timid, he didn't know if he should take out the ring or not. He buried his head deeply, and at only six or seven years old, he didn't know how to face the gaze of these people.

"It's not your fault, little Butos. Eramus comforted.

Butos hesitated and slowly took the black ring from his bosom and placed it on the table.

MOSIHRZA IS THE BLACK SWAMP FROM WHICH HE ESCAPED. Eramos said.

"Wait!" When the Sixth General of the Empire saw little Butos's face, he exclaimed, "He once slaughtered all the local guards and villagers with a huge spider in a small town!"

Eramus' brow furrowed. Everyone present was also shocked, and after careful identification, everyone who had seen the wanted list recognized little Butos.

Eramus had known this for a long time, but he didn't want all the fingers to be pointed at little Butos. In Eramus's heart, Butos still has an important mission.

THE IMPERIAL STAFF OFFICER'S EXPRESSION WAS ALSO EXTREMELY GLOOMY AT THIS TIME: "MAGE IRAMUS, I THINK ALL THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE, DO YOU KNOW THE ORIGIN OF THIS CHILD? SLAUGHTER THE VILLAGERS AND RELEASE MOSIHRZA...... Everything he has done has created a threat to the empire and to the continent. ”

Eramos sneered twice, "I can even tell you that he helped Mosihrza release the Firedemon and let Mosihrza parasitize the baby Firefiend. ”

As soon as Eramos said this, the audience was in an uproar.

Butos's head was as low as autumn rice, and tears flowed down Butos's tender cheeks.

The Sixth General of the Empire drew his sword and shouted, "He is a threat to us!

Eramus slammed his staff to the ground with all his might, and the long sword in the hand of the sixth general of the empire instantly turned into pieces: "The empire allowed the general to hold a weapon to attend the meeting, but it was definitely not for the general to kill a child!"

The sixth general of the empire was extremely embarrassed at this time, but he still wanted to save face: "I am guarding the empire!"

Eramus's gaze suddenly became fierce, and its sternness enveloped the entire conference room: "If you want to defend the Empire, you should think carefully about how to face the upcoming war!

The Sixth General of the Empire was speechless for a moment.

The tone of the Imperial Staff Officer was surprisingly calm: "So what is the reason for the wise man to defend this child?"

Eramos slowly stroked his long beard: "THE EVIL ORC PRIESTS INTEND TO USE THE UNDEAD TO STIR UP TROUBLE, AND IF MOSIHRZA WANTS TO BE RESURRECTED, THEN HE MUST OBTAIN THE 'FROST KING'S BONES AND THE 'GARGOYLE EYES' AGAIN, AND LAUNCH THE RITUAL ON THE WESTERNMOST PEAK OF THE SUNSET MOUNTAIN RANGE ON TIME IN THE 'DARK NIGHT'. ”

"Now the 'Gargoyle Eye' is in our hands, and the 'Frost King's Bone' is in the hands of the High Elves of the Western Moon Forest. IF THE PRIEST WANTS TO RESURRECT MOSIHRZA, HE MUST FIRST FIND A WAY TO OBTAIN THESE TWO THINGS, AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS TO PROTECT THE GARGOYLE EYE AND THE FROST KING'S BONE WITH THE ELVES. ”

"NOW THE BLACK RING CONTAMINATED WITH THE BREATH OF MOSIHRZA IS STILL IN THE HANDS OF THIS CHILD, AS LONG AS THIS BRAVE CHILD CAN SEND THE BLACK RING BACK TO THE BLACK SWAMP AND MANIPULATE THE RITUAL, THEN THE UNDEAD WILL BE INTRODUCED INTO THE BLACK SWAMP AGAIN, ONCE THE ARMY OF THE UNDEAD NO LONGER EXISTS, THEN IT WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THE MOSIHRZA WITHOUT THE UNDEAD ARMY TO RESURRECT. At that time, all the elite troops of the continent will not need to be afraid of the orc army captured from the north. ”

Eramos finished his battle plan, and there was silence in the conference room.

After everyone thought for a while, the Imperial Staff Officer took the lead in asking: "The orcs in the north may be captured at any time. Everyone on the continent is well aware of this, and they are always making defensive deployments. BUT THE WISE MAN SAID THAT THE ORCS INTENDED TO HELP MOSIHRZA COME BACK TO LIFE, WHICH WE HAVE NO WAY OF VERIFYING. ONCE MOSIHRZA IS RESURRECTED, WON'T EVERYTHING WE DO BE IN VAIN?"

Eramus paused slightly, then substituted action for answer. Eramus pulled out a brilliant blue gem from his robes. Anyone who knows this gem has to exclaim.

That's right, it's the Naga Gift - "Tears of the Shark".
