Chapter 929: Ash Warlock
The human heart is the most unpredictable thing, maybe your good brother for many years, one minute he still blocked the sword for you, and the next minute he personally sent the sword into your chest. But because of this, you doubt everyone and make yourself suspicious, which obviously outweighs the loss, and you can't let everyone sign a soul contract.
"Well, no system in this world is perfect, and since you know that there are flaws, you have to find a way to make up for them. However, the fairness of the contribution system is undeniable, and it is precisely because everything has fair standards that our magicians have confidence in us and are more enterprising at the same time. Pereira, the magician in charge of the potion business, spoke out to start a round for both sides.
Regarding the dispute between his subordinates, Lin Li was noncommittal, his eyes turned to Gavin, and he said in a calm tone: "Go on, let go of Cassano's affairs for a while, and talk about what you have investigated over there." ”
"Yes, Lord Elder," seeing that Lin Li was not angry, Gavin slightly put away the apprehension in his heart, and continued: "After those potions and weapons appeared on the market, we immediately conducted a series of investigations on the background of the operators, and found that the forces involved were very wide-ranging. ”
"Oh? How wide," Lin Li asked with interest.
"This is the list we got after investigation, and to put it simply, that is, in addition to the forces in the Dolander region, almost all the forces in the Light Wind Plains are included. However, many large and small forces have various connections with each other, so after we have sorted it out, it can be inferred that this time the attack against us in all aspects is likely to be jointly led by more than a dozen forces, and their names are at the top of the list. Gavin said as he handed a document to Lin Li, and then distributed the others to several other high-ranking officials.
"What, this...... How is this possible! Several high-level officials opened the document and just glanced at it, and they all exclaimed in surprise.
Because of the fear of causing instability in the people's minds, Gavin has always been personally responsible for the investigation of hostile forces, and has not revealed the slightest thing even to several high-ranking officials. Therefore, although several high-ranking officials knew that the Tower of Dusk was in big trouble, they did not have an accurate idea of how big it was.
After all, the last time Lin Li came back from Sky City, after dealing with the attack of the Dark Blade, the magicians who led the Tower of Dusk used iron-blooded means to fight a group of unscrupulous forces. Although the focus of the attack was on the Dorland region, the strength displayed by the Tower of Dusk also caused a lot of deterrence to the forces in other regions.
And now, this list, which includes almost all the large and medium-sized forces in the Light Wind Plain, is obviously completely beyond the psychological capacity of several high-level leaders. This list means that the enemies faced by the Tower of Dusk this time can no longer be said to be a specific force, but almost half of the Light Wind Plains.
That's right, the Tower of Dusk is now developing very fast, and it also has a very strong strength, and it has integrated the large and small forces in the Dolander region, becoming the top force in the entire Light Wind Plain. However, the fact that this top tier is compared to the individual forces alone does not mean that the Tower of Dusk is really capable of fighting against the entire Light Wind Plains.
"This ...... Gavin Magician, are you sure this list is okay? Several high-level officials asked for the accuracy of the list, and although they knew that Gavin could not be negligent in this, they couldn't help but hope that he had taken the wrong list. They can't help but be in a hurry, you must know that the strength of the more than a dozen forces in front of the list is not inferior to the Marfa family of Arminia, if it is one or two, it is nothing, but this is more than a dozen top forces.
Looking at the performance of several high-level officials, Lin Li shook his head slightly, this is just knowing the superficial things, if he goes one step further and knows the real cāo masters behind these forces, these high-level leaders must not be frightened to jump.
"That's just it, is it that you guys are ** in battle," Elan saw everyone's performance, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, and at the same time secretly rejoiced, fortunately, after returning from the letter from the Kingdom of Leiding, he didn't tell everyone about the adult's speculation, otherwise I'm afraid that the Tower of Dusk would have been ** set up a long time ago.
"Isn't that enough, this is almost all the top forces in the Light Wind Plains. I'm not underestimating the strength of our Tower of Twilight, I believe that any one of these forces comes out, or several forces join forces, it is unlikely that they will pose any threat to us. But now, we have to deal not with one or a few, but with all of them. The Sith's tone was filled with anxiety, and his words were immediately echoed by several other higher-ups.
"Lord Grown, the momentum of our Tower of Dusk is too fast to inevitably attract the covetousness of other forces, and I think it's time to slow down a bit. Those forces are nothing more than for profit, as long as we give up some benefits to them, they should not really tear their faces with us. Pereira has a more conservative idea, which is a bit unambitious, but in some ways, it is also a way to protect himself.
Of course, as soon as Pereira's idea came out, Lin Li didn't say anything, Gavin, Bureka and Elan, they immediately glared angrily, if it weren't for the fact that the elder was sitting, I was afraid that he would really go up and beat this cowardly guy.
Sith originally agreed with Pereira's idea, but when he saw that the expressions of several people were wrong, he quickly changed his words and said, "Elder, I think the alliance of the dozen or so forces may not be so close. We can come up with some interests, win over some of these forces, and divide their alliances, and then our crisis will naturally be resolved. ”
It was also to lose the interests of the Tower of Twilight, but the idea of the Sith was obviously more acceptable, and even Gavin and Maleka nodded slightly when they heard it. Only Elan sneered and said, "It's a pity that what they are trying to do is not so little bit of interest, and their alliance is not so easy to divide. ”
"What do you mean by that, Wizard Elan, do you know something?" After Sith said that idea, he saw that everyone was quite moved, and his heart was still a little complacent, so when he heard Elan's words, he suddenly felt a little difficult to accept.
Elan first glanced at Lin Li, and when he saw the elder nodding, he turned his head and said to everyone: "It is indeed a good way to gather strength for these dozen or so forces to join forces, but it is not easy for so many forces to really twist into a rope, unless there is a person who twists the rope above them. ”
"The one who twisted the rope? Are you saying that they are united this time, and there are still people behind them! It's impossible, they are already the top forces in the Light Wind Plains, how can they still be indulged by others. "Sith doesn't quite believe Elam's statement, these dozen or so forces are already the top forces in the Light Wind Plain, and usually even the Fran royal family is not in their eyes, how can there be other forces above them.
However, Gavin had studied with Master Basel for a long time in the Dolander Library earlier, so he looked through many books and materials outside the field of magic, and at this time he couldn't help but say with a shocked face: "What do you mean...... Are they also involved? ”
But in an instant, a hint of abruptness flashed in Gavin's eyes, and with a bit of bitterness in his tone, he said: "Yes, looking at the entire Light Wind Plains, who else is qualified to have the strength to do this." ”
"Wizard Gavin, Wizard Elam, what exactly are you talking about?" Seeing Gavin's expression, Sith was even more puzzled, and several other high-level officials, including Bolekka, also showed curious expressions.
Seeing that Lin Li had no intention of stopping it, Gavin turned back to the Sith and the others and said, "Regarding the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, you should be no stranger, what do you think of these dozen forces compared to the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce." ”
"Compared to the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, then they are probably far behind, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is a Chamber of Commerce that really has business throughout the entire Anriel Continent. Are you talking about the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce? But aren't they working with us? Sith said in disbelief.
"No, what I'm going to say is that in the Light Wind Plains, the forces that can be on a par with the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce." Speaking of this, Gavin's tone was a little low, and the worries in his heart were already exposed.
Gavin's words reached the ears of Sith and the others, and it was like an earth-shattering shock, and several people were so frightened that they almost got up from their chairs. In the hearts of the vast majority of people, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce should be a powerful force that can rank fourth on the Anriel Continent after the Supreme Council and the two major temples of light and darkness. Although the gap between the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and the three major forces in front of it may still be a little huge, it is absolutely incredible to say that any force can be tied with the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce.
"Actually, it's no wonder that you don't know, although our Tower of Dusk now has a fairly high status in the Light Wind Plains, but after all, it has been established for a very short time, and if I hadn't looked through some information, I would still be far from qualified to know about their existence. When it comes to the real top forces in the Light Wind Plains, the first thing that cannot be left out of mention is the Ash Warlock Roland, who lives in the small town of Gran in the northern part of the Light Wind Plains. ”
Gavin wanted to talk about a force that could be compared to the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, but the first person to mention was a person, but when Sith and the others heard this name, no one raised any objections. It may sound ridiculous to include a person among the top powers, but I'm afraid that no one in the Plains of Light Wind will think that this statement is exaggerated. As a person from the Plains of Light Wind, how could he not have heard the name of Ash Warlock Roland, and how could he not know about the Ash Warlock Roland.
Roland, the Ash Warlock, has always lived in the small town of Grand in the northern part of the Breezy Plains, and lives a quiet and regular rural life like a very ordinary old country man. In the small town of Gran, where there are only a few hundred households, if someone sneezes on one side of the town, it may be heard on the other side. But no one knows that the protagonist of the horror legend he used to stop the child's cry is known as Roland, one of the most famous butchers of the Kingdom of France after the great lord Osric, and is the neighbor he meets and greets almost every day.
In the eyes of the villagers of Gran Town, Roland the Ash Warlock is just a wealthy and withdrawn old man, who does not like to interact with people, does not like to talk to people, and either hides in the house and does strange things every day, or sits in the field and stares at the sky in a daze. And beside him, although there were three or two servants, all of them were even older than him, and every time people saw them, they felt that they might not be seen the next day. But many people who think so have turned into dry bones, and these old servants who can't even walk on the road still appear at the door every day, lazily basking in the sun.
But outside of Gran Town, as long as you learn martial arts or magic, you will be warned by the teacher at the beginning, even if you go to the Hyga Mountains to explore and feed the monsters, you will definitely not be able to set foot in Gran Town for half a step. If you go on an expedition in the Hyga Mountains, you will die alone, but if you anger the Ash Warlock of Gran Town, then I am afraid that all three relatives and six relatives will be unlucky.
And everyone who hears the admonition will not think that this is alarmist, because the last time the Ash Warlock was angry was only more than fifty years ago, and compared to those thousands of years of myths and legends, it is almost as if it were happening right in front of his eyes. The reason for the Ash Warlock's anger was simply because one of his dogs had been trampled to death by the Fran soldiers stationed at the border at the time. After trying to get justice for his dog, he directly smashed half of the military camp with a hellfire.
But it didn't end there, it was a prince of the Kingdom of France who was the commander of the border at that time, and no one told the prince about the horror of the Ash Warlock of His Royal Highness, or even if he knew, he would not believe it. So after being slapped in the face naked, His Royal Highness the Prince directly ordered tens of thousands of soldiers to break into the small town of Gran, arrest all the villagers in the town, and coerce them to hand over the murderer.
However, what His Royal Highness the Prince was waiting for was a high-level demon summoned by the Ash Warlock who opened the gate of the abyss, and thousands of lives were wiped out overnight.
And after that, the royal family of Fran even dispatched the sharpest Sky Knights, claiming to kill the Ash Warlock and the demons he summoned at all costs. At the same time, the major adventurers' unions have put out bounty tasks of up to five million gold coins, and the goal of the task is also to kill the Ash Warlock, such an unprecedentedly high bounty immediately attracted countless adventurers.
But as a result, the Sky Knights, who had 500 griffins, only less than 100 fled back to Oranna. On the mission file of the Adventurers' Union, all the adventurers who took over the task were ticked off their identities, and the word "death" was neatly marked after their names.
