Chapter Twenty-Three: Kurast in the Last Days

Despite the excitement of Liszt, who got the clue, he dutifully completed the escort task. On the way behind, although there were also attacks from saber-toothed cats and sharp-clawed pit vipers, in front of the iron wolf's "spell machine guns", these beasts attacking from the front did not have the slightest ability to resist. The only dune long-tailed lizards and sandworms that can pose a threat to the mages can always be detected and killed by Liszt in advance, in short, there is no danger along the way, and the mission is a complete success.

Liszt, who was in a good mood, said goodbye to Malef and Asila and ran home as fast as he could. Since Liszt's psychic power had become stronger, if he didn't deliberately restrain his divergent thoughts, his mood swings would even affect the creatures around him with weaker psychic powers. So along the way, most of the beasts became happy and joyful, and there was no aggression anymore.

Liszt was so fast that it didn't take long for him to return to Kartim's house, and even to make it to dinner.

Rarely, today Liszt and Sir Roland were idle, and the family was able to eat together. It is worth mentioning that Hadrrig and Mira got married four years ago, but because of Mila's background, the wedding was relatively low-key. I don't know why, the two don't have children yet, which breaks the heart of Sir Roland, who is eager to hold his grandson, and he doesn't forget to tell the two to work hard when they eat.

After eating, Liszt, who was full of interest, told his family what he had seen and heard, and then went back to his room for training. What he has to do now is unconscious training, which is a difficult point and far more dangerous than before. The so-called unconscious training is that in the process of "intersection", we do not actively control our emotions, but let the spirit body itself rely on instinct to move in the etheric realm. In order to do this, it is necessary to first go through a lot of conscious practice, let the spiritual body form the instinct and conditioning of survival, and then liberate the control of consciousness step by step. The biggest advantage of this is that after the spirit body generates instincts, Liszt does not need to think through his brain when he uses the power of the mind, and even casts spells without reciting spells, and it can also allow Liszt's will to be extended. At the beginning, the powerful mage Isad, relied entirely on his will, not spells, so that Liszt had no power to resist and obediently walked into his tent.

Liszt's unconscious training had been going on for some time, and being able to begin to influence the mood of the beast was one of the results. Frankly speaking, Liszt's current psychic power completely exceeds the needs of an assassin or witcher, but Liszt still has a lot of room for improvement, and for most assassins and witchers, their psychic power is already difficult to improve when Liszt's level is less than half of it. It can only be said that Liszt was not destined to be an ordinary person.

Finally, the day of King Leorrick's departure was approaching, and Liszt, after bidding farewell to the worried Aemon family, set out on the road to Kurast. Although Liszt was now powerful, he still did not dare to take it lightly, and before leaving, he was equipped with many elemental traps, smoke grenades, flashbangs, and the first destination of his trip was not the port of Kurast, but the place where his father was buried. Liszt wanted to say goodbye to his father and take back his father's inheritance, the demonic armor and the powerful bow.

Although it was possible to travel from Kartim to Curast by boat, Liszt found that he was able to walk faster and practice his body, killing two birds with one stone. Just as Liszt was rushing to the south of Curast, the religious capital of Trevank, located next to Curast, was staging a shocking betrayal.

In the Cathedral of the Holy Light in the center of Trivanc, the members of the Supreme Council sat together to discuss evil plans.

"Master's plan is about to begin, Lazarus, are you ready?"

The archbishop said fanatically: "I have waited too long for this day, I am absolutely sure that my master's plan will be realized, that idiot Leorik is impossible to resist the will of his master's brother, and even if he is stubborn, I can start with his relatives and let him completely collapse!" ”

"Very well, Archbishop, we look forward to your good news, the master will make a comeback!"

After that, the members of the Supreme Council of Sakaram actually recited the evil incantation together: "Long live the Mentor! Long live the Code! Long live the glory! Long live the Sanctuary! So brave! Such will! So strong! ”

I don't know how the guards who are guarding the cathedral day and night outside Cui Fanke will feel when they see this scene. It's just that darkness is always pouring out of the corners, making it difficult for people to guard against.

Along the way, Liszt met many people who had run away from Curast, most of whom had embarked on the journey to Kartim, which made his uneasiness even stronger. Liszt didn't know what was going on in Kurast, but seeing the despondent and desperate look of the crowd, Liszt stepped up his pace and did not dare to delay for a moment.

Liszt was able to retrieve his father's armor and weapons. For Liszt at this time, this armor is still a bit big, but Liszt will not affect his movement when he wears it, but it is a little uncomfortable. After putting it on, Liszt released a small trick, transformed the armor into ordinary guard armor, put on his bow, and walked towards the harbor of Kurast.

Kurast, the second capital of the Kegistan Empire, this huge city nestled in the jungle seems a bit disorganized, and the terrifying Inquisition has made the city's roads rarely pedestrianized, and occasionally one or two pedestrians are all hurried and uneasy. The city is extremely abnormal, and the aura of hatred wafts over the city, making everyone who arrives in the city feel like they are on the edge of an abyss.

The emperor of Kegistan, Hakan the Great, was a brilliant and ambitious ruler. However, under the suppression of the Supreme Council, he, the emperor, existed in name only, and could only watch the city be destroyed little by little, and his heart was painful. Hakan's only wish now was for his subjects to leave and make their home in Kartim in the East, where they could live a normal life.

Hakan's people, Leorrick, were leaving for Canduras today, and Hakan looked at the ambitious Leoric and just patted him on the shoulder encouragingly. Hakan felt that there must be something unsavory in the church's westward expedition, and his brother was afraid that he would be more than lucky. But he was still too busy to take care of himself, so he didn't say much, just told Leorick to take care.

Leorik waved goodbye to everyone and stepped on the ship to another continent without hesitation. Liszt followed behind Grandpa Austin, looked at Kurast, who looked distorted under the mist, and walked into the cabin with a solemn expression.

P.S. The incantation recited by the councillors is a spell from the cultist spell in Diablo 3.
