Chapter 139: The Magic Empire's Secret Plan
The once charismatic Presto was no longer beautiful at this time because of his blue nose and swollen face, but he cared more about mental humiliation than physical blows, and Anduin didn't even do it himself, so he knew that the incarnation of the Holy Light was really not called in vain.
In front of the legendary and powerful kobold geodiviner, Presto, who has lost his weapon and has not recovered from his injuries, can only be captured, and in order to save his life, he has to conspire and confess everything.
It's a power struggle that has been in the works for years, between a resurgent Magical Empire and a Holy Empire that is no longer in its prime.
The magicians of this world are not old-fashioned who have little desire to study spells, they have their own ambitions, their own desires, and the same races as elves, trolls, and insects, etc., all want to return to the pinnacle of power and obtain more development resources, so when everything is mature, the secret plan to subvert the Holy Empire will begin, and seizing the control of the Silver Fortress is an important branch of it.
The aging of Terenus has made this important northern town no longer stand as immovable as Tarzan, and the most important reason is that the successor is only Arthas. Although Kalia was the eldest daughter, she was denied the throne at the moment of birth, and at the same time Arthas was born, Terenus, who lost his wife, was devastated and decided to be alone in this life, focusing on raising her two children.
There is no doubt that Arthas is a perfect heir, and almost everyone can foresee that he has the ability to take the Silver Fortress to the next level, but the ambitious magicians want to send Kalia to the throne.
So, Presto appeared, or rather, Presto emerged from dozens of candidates and became an important figure in the plan to seize power, and he and Princess Kalia, in a carefully planned fortuitous event, met, fell in love with each other, and finally came to the front of Terenus.
Although it was thwarted by Presto's imperfect background, the plan proceeded steadily in twists and turns.
Terenus and Kalia finally reconciled, and put on a magic bracelet carefully made by the Supreme Mage, the magic circle on the bracelet, even the old lord could not see through, over time, Terenus's personality is destined to become more and more strange due to the influence of the magic circle, and not to mention whether he issued a crazy decree, just emotional ups and downs can accelerate the burning of his life.
This ring plan took Presto five years, and finally saw Terenus wear the bracelet with his own eyes, which made him almost exposed on the spot, and the next task was to get rid of Arthas and make Princess Kalia the only candidate to ascend to the throne.
In the eyes of everyone, Presto was a young man who had left the magical family, and Arthas had let down all his guard against him, as evidenced by the fact that he had not taken any guards with him on this hunting trip.
Presto could have chosen a more opportune time to erase Arthas without leaving a trace, but the bad thing was that Blackmore, the big slave owner, who was one of the important decision-makers of the overall plan, saw two ...... Perhaps the three coveted slaves, gathered in the Silver Fortress, they ordered Presto to coax Arthas, Eliza, and Anduin, the embodiment of the Holy Light, whom Blackmore regarded as a "head", to leave the hinterland of the fortress and throw themselves into the trap of the great slave owner in the name of hunting.
Of course, this not very difficult enslavement operation, and because of the appearance of the mushroom dealer Max, there was a small turmoil, and the legendary kobold forcibly broke the seal of enslavement, and used a special potion to awaken the mountain giant, causing him to almost die in the dark underground.
And until Anduin showed his strength, Presto thought that the situation was under control, after all, in front of Blackmore, the legendary powerhouse, Arthas, Eliza and Anduin, no matter how talented they were, they only had the desperate road of being in prison, what he needed to think about was how to clear his own mistakes, and Max's sudden outburst made him find a suitable excuse - no one expected that there would be many mountain giants sleeping near the Silver Fortress.
However, the appearance of the kobold diviner, but make this excuse may be meaningless, if the two kobold powerhouses successfully unite, then it is unknown whether it will be success or failure, and what's worse is that the divination ability of the divination master, almost didn't spend much effort, in the intricate underground world, found the location of the mushroom dealer, "tragically captured" Presto, only hope that the legendary orc's offensive will be more aggressive, directly kill Max as the head.
It's a pity that his dream was directly shattered because of the timely arrival of the kobold earth diviner.
Max, who drank the mushroom potion one after another, finally fell in front of the orc warrior because the stock was exhausted and the medicine was exhausted, but even if the candle flame on his head flickered, he still had an uninhibited smile on the corner of his mouth, and shouted mockingly: "The glory of the orc warrior is ten thousand times more important than life, so I have never been enslaved, but I can still be promoted to a legend. β
"I'm not trash!"
The taciturn orc warrior said the first words in months, the double-edged battle axe raised above his head, showing a powerful and unparalleled power, making the children of darkness retreat far away, his indifferent gaze, staring closely at the kobold who fell to the ground, and at the same time as the giant axe was cut off like a meteor, the sharp fangs suddenly opened, and roared: "I am Gouyle!" β
The strong slash made the air wail, and the son of darkness, who was still watching from afar, disappeared in an instant, for fear of being affected again, in the face of this powerful and heavy killing, the mushroom dealer Max knew that he had reached a dead end, and the crazy smile on his face became a little stiff, if it weren't for the kobold earth diviner who arrived in time, he moved him half a meter horizontally with his mental power, and a generation of legends would have died under the blade.
But even so, the mushroom dealer was still affected by the axe storm, and he fell into a coma in an instant, and the candlelight above his head no longer flickered, only a faint spark remained.
Seeing this, the old kobold's eyes lit up, and under the influence of the power of the orc Gouil, at the cost of overdrawing his spirit, he used his mind to transfer Max to Anduin's face, and used his body to block the legendary warrior who was coming.
"Rekindle the candle of his life!"
Anduin and his summoned followers immediately put the transparent candle up, and at the same time, he raised his finger and pointed at Presto, who took the opportunity to attack, as long as he dared to continue to move, a blow of the [Dark Word Spell Annihilation] released by the system would give him a taste of thunder.
Presto, who was immediately creepy, did not dare to act rashly, and took a few steps back slightly, indicating that he would no longer make mistakes, allowing Anduin to concentrate on checking on the condition of the mushroom dealer Max.
For kobolds, the overhead candle is associated with life, and when the candle burns out or the flame goes out, it means that a life passes quietly.
In Anduin's understanding, the extinguishing of the candle is an irreversible process, and it is just futile to light it with a flame, at first he was not optimistic, and Max, who only had a little bit of the flame of life left, would get better, but when he found that the transparent candle was directly burned in half, and the flame of life of the mushroom dealer was burning, he realized once again that this transparent candle was by no means an ordinary treasure.
Max opened his eyes in a daze, and inadvertently met Anduin's eyes, and in an instant, system data appeared in Anduin's eyes.

"System upgrade?" Anduin wondered.
[That's right, after reading the data of the Titan's bones, I went through an upgrade.] γ
"Then why haven't you told me all the time?"
[Hmm...... Can you not say it? γ
"Can't!"
[The amount of data on the Titan remains is too large, and I have been dealing with an excess of data in addition to maintaining my daily work and fulfilling the requirements of the host.] γ
"That's your explanation?"
[Well, I forgot. γ
ββ¦β¦β
[Wow, what's your expression?] I've managed to upgrade once, and I can't afford to be overjoyed and negligent at work? γ
"I think you should be more enthusiastic and devote yourself to hard work."
[I protest, I also need a holiday!] γ
"The protest is ineffective, think about getting this tricky big guy first!"
Feeling the raging wind of battle, Anduin no longer had meaningless arguments with the system, and the powerful strength of the orc Gouyl greatly weakened the geodiviner's mental attack, and it seemed that any object could only be reduced to powder in front of the double-edged giant axe.
Seeing the kobold diviner retreating one after another, it also made Presto hope, he knew more about the extreme strength of the orc warrior than Arthas, and it was definitely not a powerful existence that the old and frail kobold diviner could match, and what made him even more pleased was that although the mushroom dealer rekindled the flame of life, it could not recover for a while, and during this period, the kobold geodiviner would definitely die under the axe.
The only question now is whether Anduin can summon a legendary powerhouse with his special ability.
Presto didn't act rashly, his burning eyes tried to catch Anduin's expression as much as possible, and suddenly, he saw Anduin frowning, his face couldn't help but be happy, and he mistakenly thought that Anduin was helpless, but as everyone knows, the system reported a special situation.
[The soul of the legendary orc, subject to a slave seal, completely obeys the sealer, the essence of this seal, has nothing to do with the holy light and shadow, it seems to be an extremely powerful magic array! γ
"Magic Circle?"
Anduin's eyebrows furrowed, and he suddenly remembered what Presto had said earlier, that the great slave owner Blackmore was one of the decision-makers of the subversive plan, and it was obvious that this seal of enslavement should be some kind of exchange of interests.
"Then the question is, is there a way to break this seal? I don't have many crystals on my body, and spending two thousand oceans to summon a legendary powerhouse is a luxury even for me! β
γYes!γ Only need ......]
Just as Anduin was contemplating the method, the kobold geodiviner was severely damaged, and the sharp giant axe of the orc Gouyle broke through the blockade of ideas, although the axe wind only swept into the kobold's body, but it also left a deep wound on his thin chest.
Burst!
A mouthful of blood spurted out angrily, which also completely made Presto believe that the situation was reversed, he looked at Anduin's increasingly worried face, and couldn't help but laugh softly: "Holy Light Incarnation, it's all at this time, aren't you going to say something?" β
Anduin was puzzled: "Huh? Say what? β
"Like apologizing for your humiliating behavior, or begging me for mercy for the safety of your life." Presto crossed his arms, wore a neat beard, and smiled very sunnyly, "I can let Gouyle let you live." β
"Do you have what it takes?" Anduin showed his strong doubts with his expression, "To let it go or not, it's Blackmore who said, right?" How old are you? I don't think you have the slightest qualifications to speak in front of the big slave owners, not before, not now, and not in the future. β
Presto's face sank: "Although you are not really the embodiment of the Holy Light, your special ability will allow Lord Blackmore to turn you into a collection to admire alone, and together with Arthas and Eliza, you will be locked in a dark cage until the slave seal leaves an eternal imprint on your soul." β
"Eternal Imprint? Not necessarily, it's the Magic Empire behind you that gives you unwarranted self-confidence? Or do you think magic can do everything? Anduin raised a frown, "It's best not to talk about that twisted bracelet, it can hide from a legendary powerhouse like the old man, isn't it still discovered by me?" It's like when you're on the way into the mountains, and your emotions are always in a state of tension, you can't escape my eyes! β
Presto was shocked: "How did you find out?" I'm already trying my best to keep my emotions under control! β
"Look at your current appearance, where can you see the shadow of calmness?" An object suddenly appeared in Anduin's hand, and he sneered slightly at Presto, "Besides, I think that bracelet is so bad that at least one person in the fortress knows it, and guess why he is sitting idly by?" β
Presto swallowed, his eyes wandering back and forth between Anduin's smile and the mysterious object in his hand, "Why?" β
"Because...... I don't have time to tell you right now! β
Anduin laughed and put the item in his hand to his mouth, followed by a loud horn that resounded through the underground space......
