Chapter 60: A New Situation
Inside the Warlock's Laboratory. Faced with the unexpected in the storage ring, Alan fell into deep thought.
In the previous life, Victor, the undead knight who ruled a large part of the northern territory, somewhere got a batch of strange weapons, these weapons had never appeared in the past history of the Divine Grace Continent. However, they have a very powerful ability to ban demons, and once they hurt the caster, they can well limit the magic play of the magicians.
Victor's common strike is to snipe with a powerful long-range bow and arrow, which is extremely powerful against many spellcasters in the north. The Battle of the Abyss lasted for nearly a hundred years, and although in later generations, spellcasters gradually developed special equipment to defend against forbidden weapons, after all, many casters fell every year.
Later, in a major battle, the northern ethnic coalition captured a fortress in Victor and found the Forbidden Stone. The true face of this extremely powerful strategic weapon has only been thoroughly revealed.
Faced with the full 1,000 cubic meters of Forbidden Demon Stones, Alan took a cold breath, although he didn't know how many "Forbidden Arrow" arrows could be created from these ores. But he inadvertently snatched such an important material from Victor, and the matter could not be stopped.
The Forbidden Demon Arrow, on the battlefield, can not only limit the play of the mages, but also destroy many magical equipment on the warriors, making it ineffective, because of this, Victor's skeleton army can sweep through the northern lands, using the Forbidden Demon Arrow, and even determine the direction of many battles.
I didn't expect that in the ring of this third-order mage, there were forbidden demon stones, where did these stones come from? Alan's heart throbbed. He took out a few letters that the fire mage had put in the ring, and opened them one by one.
Alan first saw the letter that Miss Dell's had mentioned, her father's letter to the fire mage. Only then did I know that this mage was called Oberto, and he had a relationship with Castille in his early years? Ryan had the experience of fighting together. This time, Oberto approached Ryan in order to get the mercenary gentleman who traveled around the continent to find a magic potion for him.
And Ryan lived up to his trust and completed the mercenary mission. The letter states that since the last time Lane sent the handover failed to meet with Oberto, Lane left the potion with his daughter in the Golden City, allowing Oberto to hand over Dale at Morrell's dinner.
That's why there was a scene a few days ago.
It seems that Ryan and Oberto do not have a deep friendship, but are just entrusted by others. In this way, with this letter, he can mediate even if someone makes a fuss about the connection between Ryan and the attack on the Dragon Knight of Caydon. Alan thought silently.
I picked up another letter, the letter was not signed, and a few lines were simply written in the letter: The day after tomorrow ore enters the city, please be ready to answer.
Allen's heart moved, the ore here should be the forbidden demon stone in his ring. Eren hurriedly searched again, but realized a cruel fact, the source of the forbidden demon stone was most likely not in the Divine Grace Continent, but in the abyss. Being in the rear of the enemy is really not a thing to be happy about as such an important strategic resource.
There were more than a dozen letters, and Alan looked at them one by one, except for a few long letters, the rest were only a few words.
Even so, Alan still reluctantly sketched the trajectory of Oberto's past life.
This third-order mage, who is in his sixties, came to the Golden City more than half a year ago, and has stayed here since then, barely having too much interaction with people.
Hidden, living alone, and handing over people regularly.
It seems that this mage named Oberto may have been a follower of Victor before he came to the Golden City. Do you come here to preside over the altar? Alan was puzzled. Perhaps, this is also Victor's plan, in order not to expose his power in the Golden City too much, so he chose to use foreign mages to besiege Cayton?
……
In the abyss.
The rift in the plane seemed to grow wider, dark, irritable, bloody, and shrouded the place.
An endless place of resurrection, where the smell of death hangs over it, a mighty knight straddled a black, lifeless horse.
Countless skeletons, in the resurrected land, are constantly fighting, pulling, some dying, some evolving. The endless competition has become the main theme of this plane all day long. Several skeleton generals, each occupying their own territory, and the army below fought one after another.
Wherever the death knight Victor walked, all the skeletons stopped moving, their heads hanging tremblingly, and every skeleton lord bowed down.
An assassination attempt in the City of Gold failed. Victor unconsciously wandered around his territory, and although the resurrection place here was vast, it was still too small for Victor. Divine Grace Continent, that's Victor's goal!
Victor's body is filled with a black aura, and the rich aura of death can completely force the living to death.
"Two first-order professional adventurers were able to disrupt my game?" Victor moved forward coldly, and in order to complete the plan to lay out the northern lands, this gloomy and resourceful knight had already begun to lay out the layout years in advance. At that time, I noticed the existence of the terrain dragon knight.
The dragon is the natural nemesis of the undead, after a few years of observation, Victor found that the dragon knight named Cayton has an amazing growth ability, if he is given room to grow, after more than ten years, this person may become a real dragon knight, that is not only a threat to the skeleton army, but also a threat to Victor himself.
In any case, kill him in the growth stage!
Once Victor also thought about subduing Kaiton, but over the years, the abyss rift was limited, and as a powerful lord, Victor could not descend on the Divine Grace Continent. The people under him, for this dragon knight who is upright and brave and has a strong family background, let alone persuasion, it is extremely difficult to approach.
The penetration of other directions can't touch the core, so in that case, let's get rid of it. In order to accomplish this, Victor laid out for several months, and ordered his third-order fire mage Oberto to personally go into battle to besiege and kill.
Dragons are the most powerful creatures on the main plane, even their direct descendants.
Therefore, the cautious Victor asked Oberto to prepare the chaos potion to restrain the dragon, and designed a nirvana with almost no room for maneuver, even sending his own skeleton army to help. Now that the plane is unstable, thousands of second-order skeleton soldiers, crossing the plane, can come back, very few.
But this plan actually failed--because of the turmoil of the two first-order adventurers!
By reading the information in the souls of the skeletons, Victor can know a few things.
In fact, the undead in the resurrected land are all Victor's time-lapse vision, and it is precisely with this almost infinite perspective that this terrifying knight is invincible in the countless battles in the process of invading the Divine Grace Continent.
In the battle to besiege the Dragon Knight of Kaidon, due to the dispersal of the priest of the Temple of Light at the end, most of the skeletons were damaged, so that Victor could not get too many battle clips, but the strong man's keen intuition told him that the two adventurers who spoiled the situation were not simple.
The dwarf, at a critical moment, dispelled the chaotic effect of the Earth Dragon, and became the main reason for the failure of Oberto's assassination. And that warlock, who looked very young, was able to escape again and again under the attack of a third-order mage, which was really incredible.
Victor felt that the undead aura he had left on Oberto was blinded by the power of light, could it be that in the end, it was the priest of the Temple of Light who took Oberto away? Are the gods who have disappeared into the void really focused on this coming battle for planes?
Today, Victor still can't find Oberto's whereabouts. Although he once found that his aura appeared in the Golden City, before he could locate it, his aura disappeared again. There is a difference in the speed of time between the abyss and the Divine Grace Continent, and when Alan took Oberto out of the mysterious plane for a day and a night, and then put it back, Victor had not completed the location tracking at all.
We must join forces with the other lords as soon as possible to change the time difference between the two planes, Victor thought quietly.
Oberto had the Forbidden Demon Stone on his body, and Victor once wanted to descend on the Divine Grace Continent and take it back.
But for the sake of the overall situation, Victor chose to give up, a batch of forbidden demon stones can't affect the overall situation, the people of the Divine Grace Continent, can they still know what it is? Not even a servant of the Divine Mansion.
When they decided to invade the Divine Grace Continent, the seven lords of the abyss had held several meetings, and they gathered the strength of the seven families to make an unprecedented prophecy, and the results showed that the gods in the sky had already disappeared into the void and would not interfere in this matter at all, could everything have changed?
In any case, the cautious Victor chose to take cover, ordering all his minions in and around the Golden City to converge in order to deal with the turmoil after the assassination failure. Even Victor temporarily cut off his ties with several servants in the Golden City, and did not inquire about the warlock and the dwarf. This matter will be discussed later.
Thankfully not.
A miscalculation caused Victor to miss the perfect opportunity to disrupt the City of Gold.
It also gave Alan a precious respite.
The previous time, Lillian was trapped with the corpse tree in her territory.
This time, Victor is limited by limited intelligence resources and concerns about the temple.
The god of fate seems to have stood by Allen's side twice.
……
In the Golden City, Alan was not idle, and the presence of Lilian and Victor made him feel pressured. And the Golden City used the power of the city to achieve nothing, which also shocked Allen.
It turned out that Alan thought that with the help of the attack on the Dragon Knight of Kaidon, at least the Golden City should also destroy a few Victor's strongholds, and even discover its conspiracy. However, days passed, and what Alan was expecting did not happen.
In addition to proving that Victor has a deep control over his men, this incident also shows one thing. Unbeknownst to Allen, there are some levels of the City of Gold that are obstructing the investigation and trying to cover up the truth. In addition to the fire mages who have already appeared, Victor also has minions.
Thinking about the two forces that locked on to me that night, it was really impossible to sit still.
Since his rebirth, Alan has risen all the way with the memories of his previous life, although he has the intention to minimize the disaster of the abyss, but in fact, due to his weak strength, Alan has not taken the initiative to test or dispel any information about the abyss. Now, it seems that the time has come to take the initiative.
It's just, is this time right?
Alan thought for a long time, but he didn't have any answers.
What facts can prove the existence of the abyss and the dangers of the abyss as the people in the Golden City?
Although the attack on the dragon knight sounds terrifying and has a great impact, it seems that at present, Victor has acted extremely cautiously, leaving no trace, if he discloses the harm of the abyss, not only will no one believe it, but it may even lead to a bunch of ridicule and death.
Soon Miss Shirley will receive the adventurer's test, and Big Brother Odro is actively digging up everything about what sacrifice, so what should he do?
Perhaps, the Dark Elf Village will be a breakthrough point, and Alan secretly made up his mind.
