Chapter 122: The Mystery Begins to Solve
Green is back.
The lord who had been missing for three days had finally returned, and both the soldiers of the realm and the high-ranking officials of the realm who had arranged the work were overjoyed, especially when he had led them to victory as soon as he appeared.
Ten minutes ago, Green, who had left the trial space, deviated from the anchor point, and appeared directly on the battlefield outside the city. He appeared at the right time and in the right place, enough for him to use a mountain of iron to knock away the wizard apprentice and save the unconscious Samael before he threw out the spell.
Of course, Green didn't know this, and he would do it purely because it was not pleasing to the wizard's apprentice......
All in all, the young man did the right thing in the right place at the right time and quickly understood the crisis. Green is very clear about the characteristics of his current strength, in all fairness, if he compares to the group battle, he really can't catch up with Samael's extremely fast fifty kills, so he immediately targeted the four corpse witches, and rushed over in an instant is a combination punch, and the hand-to-hand combat made the corpse witch completely lose his temper. Although the other corpse witches quickly launched a fog poison attack on Green, but Green's body is dexterous, often the air bullet on the opposite side has not yet been fired, and a momentary step or navigation arrow has been out of the opponent's attack range, after a few rounds, the four corpse witches insisted that none of them could stand up, and all the bones in the joints of his body were shattered by Green, and he could only roar dryly on the ground with his mouth in the air.
The necrocs have been dealt with, and all that remains is the army of the undead. From the beginning of the lizardmen's rounds of shooting and alchemy compound bombardment, to Samael's active attack, and then to the wave of gargoyles in the suicide stream, a total of nearly two-thirds of the undead troops were killed, and there were dozens of skeletons and ghouls left under the city at this time, this time it was not Grimm's hand. It was the young Servant Mage.
Albert on the city wall, as if suddenly shrouded in starlight, suddenly burst out with a terrifying momentum, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and suddenly his combat power soared, and with a wave of the activation rope in his hand, it contracted violently, shaking so much that all the other undead were thrown down except for Samael who was tied to it. Falling to the ground with a small uproar, Albert's eyes flashed with stars, and the chestnut staff was aimed at the city, and the dazzling light bombarded like falling stars, dispersing slightly, and the ground was clean, and there were not even bones left, and almost all the skeletons and ghouls under the city were wiped out with just one blow.
"'Albert of the Stars', that's what it means......"
Green stood far away and looked at Albert with great power. Thinking of the name mentioned by the blue-scaled dragon, he couldn't help but sigh that his subordinates really came from extraordinary backgrounds.
But he quickly retracted his gaze, there were still a few fish on the battlefield that slipped through the net, although Green was now a lord, but he didn't have any noble shelves, so he simply rushed over and solved the battle completely with his own hands.
β¦β¦
The undead attack, which was regarded as the first crisis after the establishment of the Golden Lunga Territory, came to an end. Green returns to the city. Greeted by cheers and hugs, and then quickly adjusted his mindset to reassure the soldiers and replan the construction of the territory. Because there are so many things. Green prioritized several imminent territorial decisions, and then, after seeing the somewhat languishing swamp soldiers, he motioned to Altyn to let the gnolls and lizardmen rest, and he asked the Broken Sword Guard to move a few chairs on the city wall, and while sitting in the open air and talking with a few henchmen, he also took the place of the swamp soldiers.
Wait for the territory to calm down. Accompanied by Albert, Green met Lilith, and when the head of the Wizarding Department heard of Green's return, he excitedly threw down his work and ran out, giving him a warm hug when he saw him. After the scene of the trial space, Green was not embarrassed by this. Naturally, he hugged her, and took the initiative to explain that he was going to complete the important task of improving his strength. Although the noblewoman's daughter was a little dissatisfied with this, she was satisfied with hearing the lord's personal reply, and told Green not to say goodbye in the future, but in turn, Green found that the workload was too much, and promised to talk to her in detail tomorrow, so Lilith went back to her room to rest under Green's urging.
The two of them stood in the open-air corridor, looking at Lilith's figure, and couldn't help but sigh a little. Turning around and returning to the outer city, a certain little black wizard couldn't help but open the conversation.
"Your Highness Green, Miss Lilith is really hardworking."
Despite the increase in strength, Albert was still the same Albert, and said with a hippie smile after Green.
"You think that everyone is like you, you don't have to do anything, you can be so powerful just by me." Green glanced at him, as merciless as ever.
The Servant Mage suddenly showed a sneering expression.
Green turned to stare at Albert, and when he saw his familiar embarrassed look, he finally couldn't help but hold his stomach and laugh. Albert, on the other hand, looked at His Highness, who was about to officially succeed to the throne, and seemed to see the process of his hard work, and the expression on his face slowly turned into a smile of relief.
"Good work, Your Highness Green, welcome back."
The boy rubbed his stiff smile and reached out to take the right hand that Albert had handed him.
"Ah, each other."
The two of them met again, but for a while it seemed that there were endless words, as if they had not seen each other in several lifetimes.
ββ¦β¦ So, Your Highness Green, now that your identity has been decided, do you want to think about your life's events? I thought Miss Lilith would be a good choice! Of course, if Albert's sentimentality was to be self-defeating, the enthusiasm didn't last long, and the Dark Wizard's habitual squinting smile immediately made Green's forehead crawl with black lines.
So Lord Jinlunga turned and left, leaving Albert in hot pursuit.
By the time he returned to the outer city, Assesis had already completed his post-war military deployments, and the battle with the undead often had little loot to speak of, and the understaffed Jinlun Gard was also spared a trouble. Unhappy to see the eagle-headed avenger Delgar and the skeleton warrior under the city, Green gave full affirmation to their cousins, and after noticing their damage in the battle, he sent them back to the pet space - of course, in the process, there was no shortage of cheering little foxes, who had not seen this little guy for a few days, and his fur was much brighter, and he looked more energetic than before. is also more agile, throwing himself into Green's arms and burying his little head in his chest and rubbing it around, there is a posture that Green will not stop without apologizing. Before leaving, out of safety considerations, Green did not release the little thing from the pet space, and now he is complained that he has nothing to say, holding the little fox and grabbing the fur behind it with both hands. It wasn't until it was so comfortable that it turned over to expose its little belly, and it was considered to have been forgiven by the little fox.
After getting close to his pet, Green walked up to the city with the little fox in his arms, and everyone sat down, and then began to summarize the past few days in turn. The first thing Green asked for was the beginning and end of this battle. Albert is in charge of the narrative - if it were Assesis, you don't expect to hear anything other than the beginning and the end - from the beginning of the Lake Elf warning, to Samael, who is being chased by the vampires, and then to the army of the undead who have been slain from the forest. The part about Samael. Green seemed a little concerned, and he specifically asked Albert to recount the process of Samael's battle, and then revealed the process of contemplation.
"Two spears, one red and one green, are as good at high-speed combat as ...... me"
Green squinted his eyes as if recalling something, and Albert couldn't help but ask curiously, "Have you met him?" β
The boy shook his head uncertainly, "I can't be sure, but I do know the state of battle you described." If I'm not mistaken, it's the Berserker bloodline. Gamer...... Ahem, I mean that scholars think that this is a dual personality, just like us Rodlanders and Imperials, the usual berserkers are no different from ordinary people in terms of behavior and habits, but once they enter the combat state, they will become extremely warthirsty and even to the point of madness, I heard that the younger generation who do not fully control the bloodline of the berserkers. It's often irrational because of this, but ...... Berserkers live in the Kingdom of Wilts in the western coastal region, but anyone who can possess the blood of Berserker will be considered to be favored by Luna and promoted to nobility, and even join the [Divine Axe] Basaka Warband of the Kingdom of Wiltz. So I'm curious, this ...... What's going on? β
"Samael."
"Yes, Samael, I wonder why a young man with such a bloodline would appear in the southern border of the Kingdom of Rodland, it stands to reason that the Kingdom of Wilts would not let go of this precious treasure so lightly......" Green thought a little puzzled as he gently stroked the little fox curled up on his lap.
In the blink of an eye, a flash of light flashed in Green's thoughts.
Could this guy be ......!?
"Wait, what's his name?" The young lord looked at Albert in amazement, "You said his name is Samael?" β
The Black Wizard was asked inexplicably, and nodded subconsciously.
"Did he say what his last name was?" Green asked eagerly, and when he saw Albert shaking his head, he couldn't help but sigh regretfully, "Forget it, notify me as soon as he wakes up, I'm going to talk to him about it." β
Albert nodded his head, wondering in his heart what kind of sacredness this spear-wielding Samael could make Green so attentive.
Skipping the topic of Samael, Albert continued to talk about the battle process, and after listening to all the descriptions, Green couldn't help but curse secretly, he finally occupied the territory, and it was like a monster attacking the city, which made him speechless for a while, but when he heard about the heroic expression of Commander Kunali and the gargoyles made by Lilith improvised, Green was still very pleased, and it was indeed a blessing to be a leader to have such capable people under his subordinates.
"However, this undead force is of great concern, and there is definitely a conspiracy to have a team of this size after Diya's withdrawal, and I have contacted Arieti to ask the lake elves to help us keep an eye on their movements." Green glanced at the forest in the distance, and beneath the towering black trees was a suffocating silence.
"Did Your Highness be teleported to Lake Avalon first?" Thinking of Green's instant appearance in the city, Albert couldn't help but question.
"Of course not." Green closed his mouth and let his voice sound in the hearts of Albert and Assesis, "This is one of the rewards of the second phase of the trial of TongguΓ², although it is only a limited communication aimed at me, but I think it will be much easier for Asa to command in the future." β
Commander Kunali didn't change his expression and nodded to Green.
"Oh, by the way, that's what I asked the Examiner before I left." Referring to the topic, Green took out a nearly human-tall wooden staff from the space of his backpack and handed it to Albert. "I thought it was a prop, but I didn't expect it to have magical powers, and I heard from the Judge that you can use it fairly well, so let's use this for the time being."
Albert reached out and took it, gently stroking the smooth shaft, feeling the elemental affinity that loomed on it. I couldn't help but smile, "Shepherd's staff, this is really a long time coming, then I will accept it unceremoniously." "In the battle just now, the poor half-cut chestnut wood staff of the Black Wizard actually exploded into sawdust because it couldn't withstand the flow of mana, and he happened to lack a weapon, and he didn't want to be dozed off and someone would give him a pillow, so he could safely and boldly test it.
After all, it's just regained to the strength level, and there are still a lot of things that need to be reviewed.
"Ahh In that case, haven't you congratulated you on successfully passing the second stage of the trial, so can you tell us a little bit about the process of the mission? Speaking of the trial of the son of the uniform, Albert was obviously more concerned, and suddenly showed a curious gaze, "Speaking of which, you have become stronger, is it also the result of this trial?" β
Green pondered for a moment, then finally decided to tell the strange memory in its entirety. Both men in the room were the first to join, and Green believed them as if they were himself.
ββ¦β¦ And that's ...... It's unbelievable. β
Heard Green's muffled retelling. Albert was obviously a little surprised, and Green's expression moved, "You've heard about this?" β
"I'm a little impressed by things, I'll remember it later......" Albert raised his eyes and thought about it, and suddenly exclaimed softly, "Oh! I remember. It seems to be a very famous incident of the violent beast in history, I just read the literature, I can't remember the specifics, but I know the Mistier Mountain, speaking of which His Royal Highness Green and this mountain are still very close. β
"Me? And Mount Mistil? Green looked at his servant mage in surprise. Where is it? β
"It's right back in your hometown," Albert said, with a very natural expression, "it used to be called Mistier Mountain, but now it's called the Misty Mountains." β
Misty Mountains!
The Misty Mountains are the Misty Mountains!
There was a bang in Green's head, as if some torrent of information instantly hit his brain. He closed his eyes tightly, and his mind flashed through the scenes, and the words and deeds of the purple-haired woman's tearful bells, and thought of her powerful body above the celebration, and a conjecture that made his heart beat wildly was gradually taking shape.
Chirp?
Feeling the friction on his back stop, the little fox subconsciously shrugged his spine, and found that he didn't get a response from Green, so he raised his little head and tilted his head to look at him, as if he didn't understand why Green stopped such a comfortable movement, and scratched his knees a little restlessly.
ββ¦β¦ Ah, sorry sorry. β
Finally noticing the little one's displeasure, Green quickly smiled and apologized, put his hand on its back, and the little thing was finally born and lay back on its little paws.
Green flicked his fingers slightly, and looked at the little fox with a look in his eyes that was not only loving, but also indescribable.
But it was then that Green suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"Your Highness?" Albert, who was about to complain about the relationship between Grimm and the young beast, noticed the young lord's strangeness.
"Arieti, no, news from Miss Vivien to be exact," Green turned his head to look out of the city, his gaze condensed slightly, "the army of the undead has moved. β
"Rubbish!"
Deep in the forest, the lich's voice roared, and the undead on standby suddenly trembled and fell to the ground, not daring to move.
And just like these lowly undead creatures, the necromancer apprentices at this time also fell to their knees and shivered. Although he was lucky enough to save a life on the battlefield and was taken away by the Shades before Grimm could do it, it was only when he returned to the camp that he realized that his situation might be even more dangerous.
Lichs may seek the truth, but they are certainly not good and tolerant people.
"I handed over to your troops, and you actually lost them all in that broken city! I don't care about skeletons and ghouls, but what about the four ghouls? You sue me, who gave you the audacity to waste precious resources on meaningless battles? Rubbish! Idiot! I asked you to go to investigate, not to let you go with the troops to die! Now that our whereabouts have been exposed, the army is gone, and the Lord of the Eternal Night is ashamed to be worshipped by you! β
The lich's angry roar sent chills to the undead, as well as the sorcerer's apprentice's heart, who prostrated desperately, begging Moraus for forgiveness.
"IβI'm wrong, Lord Morauth, I beg you to give me another chance, I'll show you well, I'll be loyal to you! I am willing to make a soul pact with you and serve you for the rest of my life, just like Lord Nimbas! β
Fear gripped his heart like a cold prickling needle in his brain, making him say such things without thinking in the midst of crying and begging. Nimbass didn't look anything strange when he heard this, but he frowned slightly, but in Morauth's ears, it made the lich fall silent for an instant.
Suddenly, the sound disappeared, alarming the wizard's apprentice, and he looked up tremblingly to see the lich's hollow eyes staring at him.
It was the feeling of death in the extreme cold.
ββ¦β¦ Nimbas and I make a soul contract? β
The lich's skull face actually showed a sneer.
"Nimbas."
The shriveled-skinned necromancer walked over and pulled out a small stick from his bosom, which was the most convenient item for casting small spells. He walked over to the wizard apprentice and sighed expressionlessly, "What a foolishness, why would you say such a thing, I didn't make a contract with the teacher. β
He raised his wand, "All the acts of service are of my own free will. β
"Impossible, this can't be! You're already a necromancer, officially! You can enjoy wealth and status, as well as good food and wine, and women! You must have been forced to sign a contract to follow it! The wizard apprentice was a little frightened and shouted.
"Nimbas, he's too noisy." The lich's tone became very calm.
"I'm sorry, my esteemed master." Nimbas turned around and bowed slightly, and the wizard apprentice suddenly realized that he was about to flee when he got up at this opportunity, and Nimbas didn't raise his head back a little, and a green light shot out from his wand, hitting his body with precision.
The apprentice wizard shuddered, gasping for air with a "ho-ho" sound, and his skin quickly collapsed before falling to the ground with a thud.
"So, my esteemed master, do you need me to lead the troops to attack that castle?" Nimbas, who had put away his wand, asked respectfully.
"No need," the lich said, glancing in the direction of Kinlunga, turning around with his cane, "we have more important matters. β
"Inform the Dragonsades and order the troops to assemble at once, we must leave."
Morauth walked over to the locked chest, and snapped his bony claws.
"Departing in five minutes! Target, Qi Shangde! (To be continued......)
