Chapter 333: Death Doesn't Solve the Problem
Kedelos was beaten alive by Chen Jiansheng on the same day, and was taken to EverUnited Sibu. Since then, he has been held secretly in the island's prison.
To prevent this powerful magician from escaping. Jian Chen used a fairly simple but practical method to limit Cedros' use of magic, and he was able to apply a heavy set of full-body steel armor directly to the poor old man, using the steel armor to hinder his sense of magical elements. Without magic, Cedros is as unthreatening as an ordinary person, and ordinary Alliance soldiers can easily knock him to the ground.
However, Chen Jian was not too embarrassed, this important minister of the Bracada mage kingdom and a cronie of the immortal king Magnus, although he was imprisoned, but his life was convenient and thoughtful, and after arriving on the island, he also deliberately asked the dwarves to create a lighter and lockable full-body armor to replace the heavy steel armor, reducing the burden on the old magician's body.
After purging the spies sent by various forces on the island. Jian Chen also allowed Cedros to go out and let loose the wind, under the surveillance of the Thor trolls assigned by Jian Chen. Cedros is free to roam the island, but he can't talk to anyone else.
This freedom has allowed Sedlos to witness with his own eyes the great changes in the Evermont Islands over the past few years, and although he is in a hostile position, Cedlos has to admit it. It is possible to govern a hastily established emerging force to such a point in such a short period of time. Chen Jian is indeed very capable.
It's one thing to just admire, if you want him to succumb to Jian Chen, it's absolutely impossible, in his heart, no matter how powerful Jian Chen is, no matter how genius he is, he will definitely not be able to compare with the Immortal King, it is Cedros who just quietly observes everything he sees. Silently keep these in mind, and prepare to report to the Immortal King in detail after escaping one day.
He didn't know that the reason why Jian Chen treated him well was because he had other intentions.
"Your Excellency, according to our observations over time, Cedros has no intention of allegiance to the Alliance! But we've done what you asked. Analyze his character and weaknesses through his daily actions! Robert handed over a piece of information to Jian Chen, reporting the conclusions analyzed by his years of experience, "Cedelos has been famous for many years, and has always cherished his reputation very much, judging from the fact that the people I sent during this time have been in contact with him, intentionally or unintentionally, it seems that he is deeply ashamed of the fact that he failed his mission and became your prisoner again!" According to the information provided by the Bracada spies, he was also a man who liked to boast about his reputation while he was in Bracada. In addition, he is quite disgusted with necromancers, and has publicly declared that necromancers are the most evil beings. He doesn't deserve to be called a magician at all, and it's because he's obsessed with the study of magic. Cedros didn't marry and have children, so we can't use his family to force him to submit! ”
Chen Jian took the information, read it carefully, and then said with a smile: "In other words, he is a very face-loving person, right?" This is a weakness that can be exploited, okay, this matter will end here, I will find a way to deal with him! ”
After Robert retreated, Jian Chen read the information again and fell into deep thought.
Cedros has a very high status in the Bracada Mage Kingdom, and he is still a close confidant of Magnus, so he knows a lot of things, if he is willing to speak, then he will definitely gain not only that this old magician is undoubtedly very tenacious, otherwise he would not become a master who is proficient in the three systems of magic.
It is quite difficult to get such a person to speak, even if it is forced to die, there may not be any good results.

If you want to influence him, it is even more impossible, no matter how arrogant Chen Jian is, he doesn't think that he is what he is now. He knows very well that the small forces can confront the Bracada Mage Kingdom, and of course Cedros also knows very well that if there is really a head-on conflict, the Bracada Mage Kingdom will crush and smash Chen Jian and the small forces created by Chen Jian as easily as crushing ants.
Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to make Cedros give up his allegiance to Bracada and throw himself into the arms of Jian Chen.
But as long as it is a human being, there will be weaknesses, and Jian Chen has put on an appearance of treating the other party well during this time. It's just to confuse the other party, and then send Robert, who is an accurate psychologist, to observe them secretly. Find out where the other person's weaknesses are.
After thinking about it for a while, Jian Chen probably had a draft, and immediately asked someone to find Moryl, and after the two discussed for a while, Morriel began to arrange it.
So from the next day, Cedros was restricted in his freedom again, but he didn't care about it either, because he was mentally prepared and he knew. Jian Chen began to take action against himself.
As he expected, after lunch, Cedros was escorted to a secret room, but to his surprise, the person waiting for him in the secret room was not Jian Chen, but Moryl.
Moriel, Cedros was impressed, and remembered it vividly, if it weren't for this strong woman and another powerful elven archer. Suo Meila may not be dead, and Jian Chen may not be able to escape.
Thinking that the other party was the legendary dragon who had unified Negan, Cedros couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, this woman had made the Erathia Empire and the Elven Kingdom suffer a lot, although it was rumored that she had already been killed, but every time her name was mentioned, it would still make people unconsciously have a sense of awe, Cedros knew that this woman was either scheming or means,
Sedlos was pressed into a chair and sat down. The soldiers saluted Moriel, then retreated, locking the door from the outside. In the secret room, only Moryl and Cedros were left.
Neither side spoke, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop on the ground, and then Morriel unhurriedly took out a document. It was placed on the table in front of Cedros.
"Check it out!" She said lightly. "I believe that with your eyesight, you can distinguish the truth of this information!"
Sedros picked up this information suspiciously, opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
This is a piece of information sent by the secret agents of the Kingdom of Bracada on the island to deliver important news to the kingdom, and Cedros is sure of the authenticity of this information, because this information is inside. There are secret marks that are unique to Bracada and not known to outsiders, and there are also code names formulated by the Bracada Kingdom according to a specific format when writing, for some specific characters, such as Chen Jian, who are also used. Only the people in the Bracada intelligence system know what it represents.
This is a piece of real information, just what it says. But it's all out of nowhere.
Cedros saw it very clearly, and this information clearly stated that Cedros was invited by Chen Jian and not only joined Chen Jian's magic advisory group. He was also appointed as the head of the Magic Academy of the Mondale Race Alliance, and has already begun to teach the magicians within the alliance on the island. Already completely betrayed Bracada.
"This is just the last one, I have a few more here!" Morrill looked at Cedros with a distorted face from anger, and then took out a few pieces of information again and placed them on the table.
Cedros double-opened the information and found that, like the previous one, it was all a fabricated report of his betrayal of Bracada.
And the information is very well organized. One by one, in the intelligence, Cedros's attitude towards Jian Chen changed little by little over time, and his identity slowly changed from a subordinate to a guest, and the process of rebellion was quite credible.
However, this information has been falsified to the extent that it is false. Cedros had also been exposed to this information in the past, but he couldn't see it. There is no difference between this information and the real thing.
He could imagine that if this information really appeared on the Immortal King's desktop, he would not be able to explain it even if his whole body was full of mouths.
"This," how is this possible! "Cedros couldn't believe what he was seeing, and then he thought of a possibility."
"Not bad. Just as you think. All this information comes from your spies stationed on the island! In fact, they're all loyal to the Alliance now, but Bracada really looks up to our president. So many spies were sent at once! Morriel smiled faintly, "Master Cedros, the President asked me to tell you that this information will be transmitted back to Bracada in the near future through your spies!" Then you'll be a sinner in Bracada! ”
"In addition, the President also asked me to convey to you that after all this information is sent, we will also spread the news of your joining the Alliance on the mainland, and the President's request is to make it known to everyone, that is, whether you want to join the Alliance or not, you betrayed Bracada. will be believed! From now on. People all over the continent will know that the respected Master Cedros is actually nothing more than a traitor who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Don't disbelieve everything I say, because, in addition to your spies on the Bracada side, the spies sent by the rest of the forces are already under our control at this time, and as long as we want, the information about your joining the alliance can appear in the intelligence network of the major forces at any time! ”
After listening to Moryl's words. Cedros jerked to his feet and hissed, "You can't do this! I am not a traitor! ”
As he spoke, he smashed all the information on the table, and then glared at Moriel with red eyes: "You can't slander me so shamelessly!" Kill me, I will never betray the Kingdom of Bracada and the Immortal King! ”
"Death is not terrible! Nor does it solve anything! And even if you kill yourself, we have a way to bring you back to life! Master Cedros! Morriel was still laughing, "Besides, even if you die." We're still going to send it out! The fact that you are a traitor will not change anything because of your death! And, because you're dead, you'll never have any more chance to clear your name! By the way, because you had expected such a reaction, Your Excellency asked me to tell you that if you died, he wouldn't mind using the Skeleton Converter found in the Moon Temple to turn you into a lowly undead creature! If you don't believe me, I can have someone take you to the site! ”
"You" what do you say? Are you going to turn me into an undead creature? Cedros was completely stunned by Moriel's words, and his feet went limp, and he sat back in his chair, as if all his strength had been completely drained by some magic at this moment, and his eyes were already blazing. It also suddenly became extremely bleak.
"You can't do this", how can I become an undead creature"
