62. David's Analysis
Just when Su Yan went to the Mercenary Guild, Count Acala also contacted Prince Ahrens under David's instructions.
At this time, they were meeting in the exclusive study at the back of the bedroom of Count Acala in the City Lord's Mansion.
Not only were David, Count Acala, Sophia and others present in the room, but there was also a magic projector next to them, which was a research product of the Magic Guild, which allowed for long-distance face-to-face communication, which was more advanced than magical communication tools.
At this time, the image of the character displayed by the magic projector is the current lord of the north, Prince Ahrens.
The topic of their discussion was Su Yan, who is now known as the savior of Akara City.
"So, this Levy is very strong?" Prince Ahrens, who was in the projector, asked.
"Yes." David, who has acted with Su Yan, is undoubtedly the most vocal person, "This is a very powerful person." β
"Oh?" Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at David, after all, few people could get his praise, "The powerhouse of the upper heroic level is indeed very powerful." β
"No, it's not all." David shook his head, "He's a guy who knows how to use his strengths very well. β¦β¦ I've seen him crack the roof of the Thieves' Guild Stronghold with just one blow, which is a testament to his power. And people who are usually very powerful also have some unavoidable weaknesses......"
"You mean unresponsiveness?" Count Acala asked.
"Probably not." It was his sister Sophia who vetoed Count Acala's words, "The strength can reach the level of a hero, and it is impossible to be slow to react." So...... Should his weakness be speed? β
As she said her last sentence, Sophia looked at David, as if trying to get an answer from him.
"Most powerhouses have this problem." David nodded, "For example, the Cleaver Sword of the Kingdom of Fils. Mr. D'Alleon. He can break through the gates of a fortress with a single blow, but his speed is always his flaw, so every time we face him, we only need to have four people who are fast enough to be able to contain him. At least until the other side cracks our tactic, they can use this method to consume the opponent's peak combat power. β
The Kingdom of Fils is a war church that believes in the goddess of war.
As the southern neighbor of the Tria Kingdom, the relationship between the two sides is not harmonious, and once when the Tria Kingdom launched its northern expedition, the Fels Kingdom invaded the southern border of the Tria Kingdom. There was a fierce war between the two sides that was not at all under the northern expedition, and the southern border of the Tria Kingdom was even lost more than half of it at one time, if it were not for the final southern duke of the Tria Kingdom to discover D'Alleon's weakness, I am afraid that the Tria Kingdom would have lost the entire southern territory in that war.
After all, no one would have thought that D'Alleon, who believed in the goddess of war, would have the terrifying strength to break through the steel gates of a fortress with a single sword.
Therefore, the largest border fortress in the south to defend against the Kingdom of Fils will change hands in one day.
Until now, this fortress is still in the hands of the Kingdom of Fils - this makes the Kingdom of Fils completely grasp the initiative, and the Kingdom of Tria is also reluctant to start a war for the time being because it has just ended its northern expedition and the southern border is in a state of great vitality. Of course, the reason why the Kingdom of Fils is reluctant to continue waging war is because of their biggest trump card in this war, the steel sword. D'AleΓ³n was limited in play because of his speed.
At least as David said, the Kingdom of Fils will not continue to wage war until this rogue tactic is cracked.
"And Mr. Levy is the same problem?"
"Nope." David shook his head, and his face became serious, "He's more terrifying than slashing steel swords." β
Everyone in the study looked shocked.
Even Prince Ahrens, who was in the projector, didn't expect David to say that.
"From what I've observed so far, Mr. Levi has mastered at least two Divine Speed Combat Skills." David said in a deep voice, "One is to allow him to have a rapid burst of high mobility ability. You can imagine if you cut the steel sword. If D'Alleon has this skill, then we are afraid that no one will be able to restrain his movements, but we will have to worry about his sudden and fatal blow. β
"What about the second Divine Speed Technique?" Prince Ahrens said in a deep voice.
"It's a high-speed combo that can target multiple targets at the same time." David continued, "The leader of the Thieves' Guild branch in Acala City, along with the eight guards around him, were all killed by Mr. LΓ©vy in an instant. I didn't even see the trajectory of Mr. Levy's sword, and the eight men were dead just by hearing the sound of the sword. β¦β¦ And this combat skill, listening to the name, should be able to strike at eight targets at the same time. β
ββ¦β¦ I've heard you say that he seems to have a strong friend as well? β
"Arthas, said to be a Knight of Judgment who hunted down otherworldly beings such as demons and devils and their followers." David said, "I don't know what he looks like, but he should also be a power-type hero. But he's probably not as fast as Mr. Levy, and that's ...... He gave me the impression of being more terrifying than that of Mr. Levy, and he exuded a kind of indifference all over him. β
"His strength ...... What kind? β
"I guess it should be epic."
"Epic!" In the study, everyone let out an exclamation, obviously no one expected such strength.
"I don't know exactly what the strength of the demon summoned through the sacrificial ritual is, but I heard that the Storm Mercenary Regiment, the only survivor in that stone chamber, was the one who protected Mr. Levy's daughter." "According to Mr. Turson, Lord Arthas was able to easily injure that demon and force it to refrain from acting rashly, so I suspect that his strength must be above that of Mr. LΓ©vy. β
Prince Ahrens in the projector nodded slightly, and his voice was a little emotional: "I didn't expect that there is still such a strong man hidden in our northern border." β¦β¦ Epic, we only have one in the Kingdom of Tria, so it seems necessary to apply for a noble status for Mr. Levy. At the very least, we in the Kingdom of Tria must maintain good relations with him. So you have to suppress the fact that the Thieves' Guild was destroyed by him alone. β
"However, with the Thieves' Guild's pervasive investigative style, I'm afraid it won't be able to hide it for long." Count Acala said with a bit of a headache, "Moreover, the other party has also personally admitted that the Fallen Hand was solved by him, and many people heard about this matter at that time, I am afraid that soon the Fallen Hand will seek revenge on him." β
"That also requires the Fallen Hand to have that ability." Prince Alens, snorted disapprovingly, "Now that the Guta Territory is in a state of chaos, the butts of these underground forces are not clean, and it is too late for them to hide themselves now, and it is completely impossible for them to have the energy to trouble Levi." The real concern is whether the Thieves' Guild will take extreme revenge if they learn that their branch in Acala City was destroyed by LΓ©vy. β
"Now we can only delay for a while." David shook his head helplessly, "But this matter, only Arthas and I saw it at the time, so it should be ......"
"Don't underestimate the Thieves' Guild's methods." Prince Ahrens shook his head uncomfortably, "Regarding the investigation of the Grey Sand Collar, the Thieves Guild has been ahead of us, and even the news that I intend to take the Grey Sand Collar back to the royal family has leaked, and many nobles have come to test it every day recently. β¦β¦ Those damn rats. β
Hearing Prince Ahrens' complaint, David just shook his head helplessly: "Then Your Highness, since the affairs of Akara City have been basically settled, I am ready to leave for Northern Winter City in two days." β
"Yes." Prince Ahrens nodded, "Then, let's see if you can ask for more information about Lord Arthas in the next two days." β
"Well, I'm afraid I don't have much to do." David smiled bitterly, "Your Excellency Arthas's strength surpasses me too much, and when we first met that day, I even thought that the other party's strength was not as good as mine." And after dealing with that demon, I don't even know how the other party left, the only thing that is clear at the moment is that the other party should go to Guta to lead. β
"Well, there's no way around it." There was some regret in Prince Ahrens's tone, "Well, then, if it's okay, you can come back as soon as possible." I'm also a little frowning about the gray sand collar, and I'm going to let you go. β¦β¦ Those damn rats are ahead of us in this matter, but as long as they can be bought with money, it's not a problem. β
"Your Highness, you're smashing people with money again."
"I'm so poor that I only have money left, won't you let me use money to smash people?" Ahrens's tone was very dissatisfied, "Or, if you're a little more useful, why do I need to give this money to someone else." β
Listening to Prince Ahrens speak so angrily, no one else in the study made any response, obviously knowing Prince Ahrens's temperament for a long time.
This made Prince Ahrens vent for a while, and because no one answered, he was also quite bored, so he spoke again: "By the way, I heard you say, today that Levi went to the Mercenary Guild. I wonder what he's doing over there? β
Sophia, a mercenary, knows a lot about this kind of thing, so she is naturally in charge of answering the problem.
Prince Ahrens listened for a while, and then his brows couldn't help frowning: "Wait...... Are you saying that the cause of the gray fog in the Monster Canyon was really caused by something called the Ring of Gradiles? β¦β¦ Who did the Adventurers' Guild send? β
Everyone was a little puzzled as to why Prince Ahrens's face looked so solemn.
"The Ring of Gradiles, also known as the Crown of the Dead, was once a powerful magic item brought out of an underground mausoleum by the Adventurers' Guild, and it was said to be able to make all undead creatures obey their wielder." Prince Ahrens said in a deep voice, "However, because this magic item is easy to distort people's hearts, it was later sealed by the Adventurer's Guild. β¦β¦ It wasn't until fifty years ago, when the Adventurers' Guild was exploring a chaotic land, that they found a large number of undead creatures blocking their way, and they remembered this magic item. β
"Then why is this magic item in the Monster Canyon?" Sophia was a little puzzled.
"Because the Ring of Gratils was stolen from the Adventurer's Guild, but the Adventurer's Guild didn't even know who the prisoner was." Prince Ahrens sighed and said helplessly, "At the beginning, the Mercenary Guild and the Adventurer's Guild teamed up to investigate Warcraft Canyon, because the people of the Adventurer's Guild thought that this crown of the dead was very likely to be in Warcraft Canyon, but the result that time was nothing, I thought that this matter was also their misjudgment, but I didn't expect it to be really caused by the Ring of Gratils." β
"But now the Ring of Gradiles is completely broken......"
"What the Adventurers' Guild really cares about now is not the Ring of Gratils, but a codex that was stolen along with this magic tool." Prince Ahrens explained, "This codex contains a description of how to control undead creatures. The Ring of Gratils is only to maximize this means of control. So what the Adventurers' Guild really wants, should be this Codex. β
"But Mr. Levy didn't take the Codex back with him." Sophia said again.
"It's because there isn't, so the people from the Adventurer's Guild came here in person." Prince Ahrens said in a deep voice, "Who did they send?" β
"I'll ask." Count Acala hurriedly got up, and then left the study.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed a little depressing.
"Whoever they sent, David, you must stop him from clashing with the Adventurers' Guild......"
"It's late." Count Acala, who had just left, soon returned, but the look on his face was obviously not very good-looking, "Mr. Levy is in the Mercenary Guild and the messenger of the Adventurer's Guild has done it. Although there are mercenary guilds trying to persuade them, the people from the adventurers' guild are ......"
Speaking of this, Count Acala's face was also very helpless: "It's that reckless cow." β¦β¦ And now, he is already a corpse. β
