Chapter 126: Bluffing
Marco troubles Roland has nothing to do with Roland's scepter and sword.
If Roland was not mistaken, Marco didn't want Roland to go from the beginning!
If Roland had agreed to join the Ring of Ashes in the first place, it might have been a different result; But since Roland does not agree to join the Ring of Ashes, in order to prevent his organization from being exposed, Marco will definitely take action.
Now that Marco has become the Ash Lord and has untied the soul of the Ash Cultist's profession, he must have come into contact with his origin.
Roland believed that with Mark's talents, it was impossible for his will to be disturbed by the directionality brought about by the origin.
It is not impossible to even cross the stage of the path of awakening and go directly to the temple of truth.
When he enters the Hall of Truth, he will be able to fight the Wind Whisperer head-on.
After all, no matter how much Marco can skip the challenge, he will not be able to beat the Wind Whisperer before entering the Hall of Truth.
This is the gap between mortal and otherworldly beings.
With Mark's character, he couldn't stand the Ashes and a bunch of cultists mixed together. It was nothing short of insulting to him.
Once Marco has attained the same level of power as the Windtalker, he will definitely immediately turn against the Windtalker.
In other words, the Ash Men are about to become independent from the Ring of the South Wind.
It was for this reason that Marco hoped that Roland would join them.
After all, the Ring of Ashes is about to be established, and now everything is missing.
At the same time, in order to keep the newly formed organization safe from the initial turmoil, Marco will definitely silence everyone who knows that they do not belong to the Ring of Ashes.
"That's my trophy."
Roland calmed down. Replied casually.
"Spoils?"
"Yes. I killed a priest of the goddess of war and got this thing. β
"Is it an old man?"
Here it comes.
Roland knew it.
Marco is afraid that if he finds a reason for this, he will be in trouble.
Roland used his words to disguise himself as a White Tower wizard. And the price of killing the White Tower wizards without a reasonable reason was not something Marco could affordβthe astrowizards were not ornaments.
By the way, even if there is a reason. The average person can't afford it either.
If Roland is really a wizard of the White Tower, then as long as Marco kills him, those astrological wizards can directly lock Marco's image and location, and get the reason why Marco killed him.
However, if Marco can't find a plausible enough excuse to kill Roland, then the astrowizards will be shown to be "Silenced to protect the secret of the Ring of Ashes".
β¦β¦ At that point, there really won't be anything to hide.
So at this time, Roland must not admit it.
He couldn't give Marco a reason to kill him, or Marco would be as determined as he was. Roland was really dead.
And the best thing to do is for Roland not to say anything.
"Are you interrogating me? Interrogating a noble wizard? β
Therefore, Roland frowned and said confidently.
"It's rude, Lord Orlando, I didn't mean that," a low, polite voice came out of Mark's mouth, "I just wanted to askβyou know, that old priest had been my friend a long time ago. Even if it's offensive to you. I also had to ask things clearly. β
Ha? Are you friends with Claude?
Hearing such a ridiculous statement, Roland almost burst out laughing.
At the same time, Roland finally realized the extent of Marco's killing intent towards him.
This level of stupidity can be used as an excuse to show that he really doesn't care about anything and will kill Roland.
Looking at Marco's cold eyes, Roland sneered silently.
β¦β¦ It's funny. I didn't recruit you or provoke you, but now I want to come and kill you quickly?
Originally, in Roland's plan, there was no plan to conflict with the Ring of Ashes.
After all, the force that Roland wants to establish is a temple type. The restraint of the Ashes on the clergy is too severe.
Even Roland originally planned to exterminate the forces of the gods with the Ring of Ashes at the beginning of the plague revival.
Now it seems. The people of the Ring of Ashes are really unreliable.
Roland made up his mind to wait for his own forces. The first to be destroyed was the Ring of Ashes.
Since you don't give you a way to live, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless......
"Mainly because the old priest offended me and Ann Ruosi's teacher," Roland said, clearing his throat and shrugging his shoulders, "and he rushed up with some stupid thing about wizarding heresy, and I had to kill him in order to protect his dignity...... Mr. Mark, I'm really sorry. β
Mark's pupils shrank.
ββ¦β¦ I would like to know more details. β
The Ash Lord said in a deep voice.
"It's actually quite simple. He rushed over, and I cut off his defensive barrier with a prayer, and then cut off his head directly with the spirit blade - just a silver-level priest, who dared to take the initiative under the suppression of the Great Barrier of Karar, probably because the Sun King's death was burned out in the brain. β
Speaking of this, Roland seemed to suddenly remember something, lowered his head, and whispered to Marco apologetically: "Ah, what a faux pas, to say this to your deceased friend in front of you......"
ββ¦β¦ No, nothing. β
Marco's voice was much quieter, and he looked back at the north wind that had been whistling and sweeping around Roland with some fear, and stopped at the door, "He is probably really old and confused, and he took the initiative to attack a tricky wizard who is stronger than himself...... Not even at the gates of Luther Town. β
"That's right."
Roland sighed.
Marco turned around and asked casually, "What is the name of the Venerable Master?" β
"Master Clavi, Dream Walker Clavi," Roland revealed several weapons around his waist without a trace, "Anroth's teacher is Lord Parbchiko the Star Caller. β
"Not to mention in a small place like Karar, even in the Titan Empire, no one dares to be disrespectful to the family teacher."
The more Roland spoke, the smoother he became, and he directly brought himself into the role he played.
"The two of us are the chiefs of this year's astrological system and the sword system. Originally, we were just here to get a sample of the Radiant Blood - Lord Palbutchiko recently had an interesting idea about the relationship between longevity and the purity of the bloodline. It can be roughly elaborated in terms of Merlin's law of variants......"
Roland gushed at Marco at the egg that sounded powerful but didn't understand, and behind him, Anrusi's mouth almost opened into an O-shape.
An Ruosi could hardly believe it. Roland actually knew this level of wizarding......
Of course, he didn't know that Roland really had been a sword wizard for a while.
Moreover, the two wizards that Roland brought out just now were not found randomly.
For various reasons, these two wizards were enough to make Marco jealous and not dare to kill him.
After awakening to the origin, wizards are functionally the closest beings to gods. As soon as someone calls their name, they feel something.
After Roland said the names of the two of them, Mark didn't dare to kill them anyway.
Clavi the Dream Walker is the head of the Knife Department - a sword wizard who has awakened to his origins.
His origin is a rare dream. Therefore, he can walk freely in his dreams and cause harm to others in their dreams. It's making this illusory damage a reality. Of course, he can also transform the harm inflicted on him by others into nothingness.
The sword wizard himself is weird enough to kill people, and with Clavi's origin, no one dares to provoke him.
Although he was not the most powerful wizard in the world of Faennes, he was the most feared wizard, and even disasters such as the collapse of the White Tower could not kill him.
And the star caller Palbchiko, who is not only the head of the star system, but also the tower master of the second tower of the White Tower.
It was his research that allowed the Second Tower to penetrate the Wall of Aum, and the top of the tower protruded into the astral plane. Complete your first interstellar journey and discover the truth of this world.
It was precisely because of the success of his research that the gods were completely enraged, and all the gods acted together to cause the White Tower to collapse.
-- When the White Pagoda collapsed. He's even found the backdoor to Aum's Law.
In other words, he was one of the last moments before he could drag all the gods into the mortal world as a human being.
And most importantly. One of these two men saved Mark once, and the other was Mark's idol, the so-called embodiment of human will.
Seeing Marco suddenly fall silent. Roland almost burst out laughing.
Roland's approach is still the same old way.
As he said at the outset, faith alone, knowledge of the industry, and connections within the circle were enough to fool most peopleβnot unlike the tactics used to scare Marco away at the Trail of Light in the first place. It's all just a bluff.
The trick is not old, it just works.
ββ¦β¦ So what are you going to the City of Fortune for? β
Marco's voice was a little dry.
A smile tugged at the corner of Roland's mouth.
He knew that by this time Marco no longer wanted to kill the two of them.
But acting must be performed in its entirety, so Roland continued: "Teacher, they did not go to the city of wealth. β
"If your sources were more accurate, you'll know that I'm the only one who went to the City of Fortune. Aren't we going to have an experiment on longevity, I'm going to buy some experiments, after all, the goods in the City of Fortune are cheaper," Roland smiled softly, but said cruel words, "and the reason for burning the city...... At first, it was just to kill a scumbag. β
"But as soon as I killed one, another one popped up...... I killed, killed, but I never finished, and in the end I had to burn down the entire city of wealth. β
Roland smiled and said, "Although many people have died because of this, ah, have you seen the golden and pure world at the end?" There is no sin at all, it is completely clean. β
"No aftermath, no filth, no ruins...... Complete, complete, complete purification - not only the defilement of the upper layers, but also the defilement of the middle and bottom layers. β
"I think that's equality for everyone...... I think that's what purification is all about. β
ββ¦β¦ A golden and pure world?! β
Marco chewed on this sentence slowly, and his eyes gradually lit up: "I am too shallow, it was your words that reminded me of ......"
"I'm sorry, Lord Orlando, I was even ...... before No, I'm trying to say, I know about what I want to do. β
Seeing this bald guy suddenly bow deeply to himself, Roland's smile suddenly froze on his face.
β¦β¦ Wait, what did this madman understand?
You have something to say clearly!
Now you say half and half leave, I feel so panicked! (To be continued......)
