Chapter 533: Another Order
Seeing the inviter's signature as the Ash Warlock, Lin Li couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked the magician who brought the letter, "What about the person who sent the letter?" Based on the magic ink used on the letterhead, he knew that this invitation letter could never be faked, but the content of this letter was too simple.
Hearing Lin Li ask about the person who sent the letter, the magician showed an expression of trying to hold back a smile on his face, and said with a little difficulty: "Elder, I was going to send the letter to come in and wait, but the old man who sent the letter said...... said that the family's field is still waiting to be cleaned up, so it won't delay us any longer. By the way, he also asked for ten gold coins, saying that it was the reward for sending the letter. ”
"Oh, did you give it?" Lin Li also asked a little funny.
The Ash Warlock lived in seclusion in the small town of Gran, which was a well-known thing in the Light Wind Plains, but Lin Li did not expect that the Ash Warlock would actually ask an ordinary farmer to deliver the message.
"Yes, I originally said to give him more, but he resolutely didn't want to, saying that he would get paid for as much work as he wanted, just send a letter, and just give him the round-trip fare." It wasn't that the young magician was stupid, he could also feel the magic fluctuations emanating from the crumpled letterhead, and he could naturally think that the origin of this letter was not simple.
"Well, okay, you go down first." Lin Li put away the invitation letter and waved his hand to let the magician leave.
As for the invitation of the Ash Warlock, although the invitation letter did not mention any substance, Lin Li could still guess somewhat. It is said that this is also a tradition in the Breezes, where every three years, the Ember Warlock sends an invitation letter to the leaders of the most powerful forces in the Breezes, inviting them to the small town of Gran.
Don't look at this invitation letter is so simple, it looks like a joke, but on this breezy plain, this simple invitation letter is like the will of the gods, and no one dares to despise it in the slightest. At the same time, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, this seemingly ordinary invitation letter is also a status symbol, which means that they and their own forces have truly stood at the peak of the Light Wind Plain.
It is not an exaggeration at all, the Ash Warlock Roland, who has lived in seclusion in the small town of Gran since the Dark Ages, has left behind too many horrific deeds and legends in the Plains of Light Wind, and the incident more than fifty years ago is only one of many insignificant deeds.
Hundreds of years ago, Rodhart, the Knight of Damnation, led his Death Knights, which can be said to have swept across the Plains of Light Wind, bringing great disasters to the Plains of Light Wind. Fortresses were reduced to ruins by the onslaught of the Death Knights, and legendary powerhouses with great fame fell under the Frozen Blade of Rodhart.
At that time, in order to speed up the harvesting of souls, Rodhart divided his nearly 1,000 Death Knights into two, one personally led, and the other went straight to the north of the Light Wind Plains. However, what Rodhart didn't expect was that this was the most wrong decision in his life besides choosing to become a Knight of Damnation.
The more than 500 death knights who went north, although they were not personally led by Rodhart, also had the strength to besiege and kill more than a dozen legendary powerhouses, which was not a little stronger than the griffin knights of the Kingdom of France. However, even such a powerful team suddenly disappeared all the way to the outside of the small town of Gran, and the inhabitants of the town did not even know that they had gone round and dead.
And when Rodhart sensed the disappearance of the team and came to the outside of the small town of Gran, he only stayed for a moment, and fled back to the southern part of the Breeze Plains without looking back. Until he was purified by the prophet Viren, Rodhart did not show the slightest intention of going north, which is why the Plains of Light Wind finally retained a trace of vitality in that disaster.
It's a pity that the Ash Warlock doesn't have the idea of being the guardian saint of the Light Wind Plains, but he just doesn't want anyone to disturb his peaceful life, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be the turn of Viren, the prophet of the Temple of Light, to purify Rodhart.
Another thing that has spread very widely in the Plains of Light Wind is also recorded in history, just after the end of the Dark Ages, that period of the most chaotic period in the entire world of Anriel, the alliance of rebels because of the collapse of interests, the orcs who have long coveted the rich land of the Plains of Light Wind have organized a large army with the intention of taking the Plains of Light Wind for themselves.
The orc army did not have strict military discipline, not to mention that at that time, they thought that they had suffered a loss in the distribution of interests of the rebellion alliance, and it was impossible for human civilians to commit no crimes, so it can be said that burning, killing, and plundering were all evil, leaving only a ruin and ruins everywhere they passed, and their ferocity was no less than that of the Death Knights.
However, when the orc legion came to the small town of Gran, a black-robed ash warlock appeared in front of thousands of troops, just a cold and low "roll", and the boundless orc legion suddenly retreated like a tide, leaving only banner weapons everywhere and countless corpses trampled to death.
It was this incident that made the people on the Light Wind Plains know that in that inconspicuous northern town, there was such a terrifying powerhouse living in seclusion. No one knows the age of the Ember Warlock, or how long he has lived in seclusion in the town of Gran, only that he has lived in the run-down tower of the town since the Dark Ages.
And people are surprised to learn that even in the dark ages, this small town of Gran is like a paradise, completely unaffected by any turmoil in the Breezy Plains. Even the powerful High Elves of the Dark Ages seem to strictly abide by a certain agreement, and have never set foot in the small town of Gran.
You must know that in the Dark Ages, it was the famous Great Lord Osric who ruled the Kingdom of Fran and the Plains of Light Wind. Even the terrifying Endless Abyss was conquered by the magic army led by Osric, and Barak, known as the most powerful ancient demon god, fell into the hands of Osric, but this small town of Gran is still like a forbidden place on the Plain of Light Wind.
Many people believe that the Ash Warlock and Osric may have met each other, and that there must be an unknown pact between the two. However, Lin Li heard another unbelievable statement from Angelano. Angelano was the first to follow Osric, and was once known as one of the three butcher knives in Osric's hands, so he naturally knows more about Osric than anyone else.
"No one knew what the Ash Warlock had done, but seeing him simply wave his hand, thousands of elite warriors of the Magic Legion were all lost at once. Their appearance, rapidly aging, decaying and turning to ashes, even through the crystal ball, I could feel a strange force that seemed to grab my soul out. Angelano's voice trembled a little when he mentioned this memory now: "Since then, Osric has never mentioned the name of the Ash Warlock again, as if he had completely forgotten about it, and devoted all his energy to the construction of the Eternal Crucible. ”
If this matter is said from someone else's mouth, I'm afraid Lin Li can't believe it at all, Osric is the proud disciple of the Immortal King, and in the dark ages, he is known as a strong man whose strength is not inferior to that of the High Elf Queen. And what is the strength of the magic legion of the High Elves, which once swept through the endless abyss, causing countless powerful abyss demons to flee.
However, the Ash Warlock turned thousands of soldiers of the Magic Legion into ashes with a wave of his hand, and the arrogant Lord Osric could not have a heart of revenge, what a powerful strength this is. Lin Li couldn't imagine what level the strength of the Ash Warlock had reached, but I was afraid that it would not be worse than the three major arbiters of the Supreme Council.
It is precisely with such a strong strength that the status of the Ash Warlock Roland in the Plains of Light Wind can be said to be above all forces, just like a god who looks down on all beings in the Plains of Light Wind.
More than 1,300 years after the end of the Dark Ages, after the initial period of war between various countries fighting for territory, the Anriel continent has been peaceful for nearly a thousand years now. However, the exception is the Plains of the Breeze, which nominally belongs to the Kingdom of Fran, but the royal family of France has very little control over it.
Since there has never been a real master, even though the war has been over for nearly a thousand years, the Breeze Plains has always been in a state of turmoil. In this land, large and small forces are intricate, and all kinds of disputes occur all the time, so the Light Wind Plains has the name of a chaotic place among outsiders.
But chaos is chaos, although it is called the land of chaos, but this land of chaos also has a chaotic order, and the person who maintains this order is none other than the ash warlock Roland. Only he, who is above all the forces in the Light Wind Plain, has the qualifications and ability to formulate and maintain an order that no one dares to violate.
As for Roland, the ash sorcerer who lived in seclusion in the small town of Gran, why he still intervened in the dispute between such forces as the Breeze Plain, I am afraid that only he knew it. Maybe it's because I live in the Breeze Plains and don't want those strife to affect my peaceful life, or maybe it's just because I'm bored.
In short, I don't know when I started with this triennial invitation. Every three years, Roland, the Ash Warlock, sends the leaders of the strongest forces in the Plains of Light Wind an invitation written on cheap stationery to the ruined tower of the small town of Gran. As for the content of the gathering, except for the leaders of the major forces who participated in the gathering, outsiders had no way of knowing at all. Everyone only knows that after every gathering, the power map of the Light Wind Plains is fixed, and those battles that were originally intensifying will soon disappear into invisibility.
This is the plain of the breeze, the order of this chaotic land, and no one has dared to break this order for many years, under the maintenance of the Ash Warlocks.
