Chapter 398: Thunderclouds Reappear
The gloomy light of the Iron Prison of Thorns illuminated Helena's pretty face, and she was one of the highest judges of the Tribunal, and Clement's right-hand man, who acted decisively and skillfully, and never dragged her feet, but now she hesitated a little.
"We ...... Do you really want to do this? She couldn't help but glance at Sigma who was following her, obviously he was only a high-level necromancer, but he was more calm and calm than her Sanctuary, he wanted to do an extremely crazy thing in the Iron Prison of Thorns, and even the Grand Inquisitor acquiesced in this crazy practice...... It was a crazy idea for a young necromancer to try to control a group of dark creatures that had been imprisoned for a long time.
…… But perhaps, since the Grand Inquisitor decided to put the Pope under house arrest, all the Blackfriars who were willing to follow Clement have gone mad, including Helena.
Sigma glanced at Helena quietly, and the look made her heart froze slightly...... Because the warmth and easy-going in the other party's eyes have disappeared, only a calm soul remains, this kind of look Helena is not unfamiliar, when they first met and hit the Inquisition, Sigma's eyes at that time were so cold and indifferent, it was the eyes that regarded all life as dead things, and would not be affected by any factors, even more like a member of the Religious Inquisition.
The necromancer said coldly, "Do we have any other choice?" ”
Helena was speechless...... As a confidant of Clement, she certainly knows how bad the situation is.
The two of them arrived in silence at the core of the Iron Prison of Thorns.
So in the cold and dark prison, under the watchful guard of the clergy as if they were the enemy, Sigma's face sank like water. Without hesitation, he took out all the magic power items—the key items that the temple had painstakingly prepared to help these dark creatures regain their strength, such as jade dragon blood, moonstone, and sea soul grass...... The necromancer's hands shook. These things burst through the air and flew towards the dark creatures: "The law of the jungle has been in place for a long time. The dark creatures are more pragmatic, and I think we can communicate openly and honestly, so I'll just say it, and let you out now, just let you go hard. ”
His eyes lit up with a pale blue glow, causing the dead qi in the bodies of these dark creatures to vibrate, reminding these top predators of the dark world whose hands their lives were in control now.
"If you're lucky, you might as well try." His voice was calm and deep. It seems unfathomable, and you must always be strong against these cruel and cunning dark creatures, "Otherwise, show your sincerity and show your worth, so that you can have the possibility of freedom." ”
"Follow me, go to battle, be my weapon, my minions. My eagle dog, to fight, to do your best, to gain my appreciation. Then you will be free, though limited, than waiting in despair here in the dark. Sigma watched as one dark creature after another took these magical items and calmly stepped into the depths of the cage. Surrounded by these dark creatures that were gradually regaining their strength, he had nothing to fear. His eyes were full of great confidence, like a brilliant king giving a victory speech to his subjects.
"I'm Sigmar Washington. Destined to become the Necromantic King, the future ruler of Atlas, I am now a High Mage, and two Sanctuaries have died at my hands, and in the next battle, I will show you why I deserve your following! Sigma's voice was sonorous and powerful, he waved his fists, his eyes strong and powerful, fearlessly staring into the eyes of one dark creature after another, until the rebellious beast looked away, "I have the capital and the power to make you follow, I am qualified to be your king and master, at the price of the precious freedom you have longed for, I grant you the right to be loyal to me, do not think that it is an insult, it is a gift and a reward!" Recognize the reality, you rotten prisoners, now that I am only a high-level necromancer, you are qualified to be loyal to me, and I will be promoted to the Sanctuary and even the Legend one day, and you are not even qualified to lick my shoes! ”
There is no need to persuade each other with good words, don't compare your heart to your heart, the other party is not a human being, but a cunning and cruel dark creature, they follow the law of the jungle, recognize the supremacy of strength, the so-called sincerity and love can't move them, then stay strong, stay strong, let them recognize the reality clearly, let them learn to bow their heads!
They have not committed suicide and madness since they were imprisoned and humiliated by the clergy, they have actually bowed to fate, as long as they have compromised once, they can compromise a second time, and they want to see something real more than sweet exhortations and lobbying!
"You are following the law of the jungle, what is the law of the jungle? Powerful creatures can prey on the weak, you can take away a single qiē or even a life from the weak without any consent, and you can also trade with dark creatures as powerful as you through the principle of equivalence, but remember, I am stronger than you! throw aside the so-called principle of equivalent exchange and the law of the jungle, and what you want from me will be exchanged for ten times and a hundred times the price! Exploited by me, shed blood for me, fight for me, give me my life! Squeeze me out the potential and use value of your whole body, and use the fruits of victory to please me, because only I can let you get back what you have lost! ”
"What can I give you? In the not-too-distant future, Atlas will seek more say in the dark world, and with my support, you will be able to regain what you have lost, and you will be able to gain more! Clan! Dependents! Resource! Revenge! Wash away the shame! Get back what you lost! ”
"But the premise of a qiē is that you have to show enough worth, and you have to prove that you can be a good dog, not a bunch of thinking garbage, because necromancers have always pursued efficiency." The corners of Sigma's mouth curled into a grim smile, "Yes, don't forget my profession, for me, it doesn't matter if I kill you all now - because even if you die, this powerful body can continue to be used!" ”
The clergy of the Iron Prison of Thorns watched in amazement as Sigma performed and spoke.
At the same time, the illusion that "this guy may be more dangerous than the Temple" arose in the minds of the blackfriars.
Because before their eyes, as if by magic, these powerful and cunning creatures of darkness have gone from rage to compromise. They would be angry at Sigma's humiliation and contempt, but hundreds of years of darkness in the Iron Prison of Thorns have worn away a sense of dignity and pride. Make these dark creatures more pragmatic and sober.
Freely...... They just want to be free.
No matter what form of freedom it is, even if it is followed by freedom, you have to work for others...... But none of this qiē matters.
Important: Sigma's tone, though condescending, full of arrogance and contempt, was all truthful and unkind to humans, but to the eyes of the dark creatures, it was a normal thing...... This is the posture of the strong above the weak, and it is the inherent power of the strong, and they are no strangers to it.
Importantly, Sigma gave them a tangible hope and a reason to fight.
So...... One by one, the creatures of darkness bowed their proud heads. Not a compromise before, but a formal gesture of surrender, no matter what was going on in the minds of these cunning, cunning and cunning creatures of darkness, at least on the surface, they approved of Sigma's Tiyì and made a choice in the face of the opportunity to change.
"Very well, gentlemen, you have made the right choice." Sigma nodded, her voice still cold. "To be honest, I only have two paths for you - to be loyal to me and be driven by me, and to die and be driven by me, there is no third way to choose."
Of course, there is actually a third way to go - and that is to kill yourself with extraordinary violence and blow yourself up. Blowing himself up into powder, so that Sigma didn't even have a chance to use the corpse...... But for these dark creatures who have been captured by the Holy See and tortured until now, this choice is too difficult. If they had been so strong, they would not have survived to this day.
This is one of the foundations on which this deal can be concluded today.
Sigma looked around again. Finding that even the most hesitant dark creature had no trace of dissent, he couldn't help but nod his head with satisfaction - although he couldn't use the handy skill of "Tiger Body Shock" to make the younger brothers bow their heads one after another. But the initial success was achieved...... He calmly said, "You can come out." ”
A suppressed roar emanated from the mouths of the rampaging creatures of darkness, the fury of captivity, the humiliation of being forced to pledge allegiance...... Quinn broke open the holy nails all over his body, the werewolf duke broke the shackles, and one by one the dark creatures broke the cage and came to Sigma, they looked at Sigma, after escaping the cage, the nature of the dark creatures began to prevail, and a pair of vicious eyes flashed with an incomprehensible light, and then ......
Then Sigma narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "Are you tired of living?" ”
The heart beat heavily, and the inexplicable paralysis even slowed down the flow of blood throughout the body for a while, so these dark creatures realized that their lives were in the hands of this unfathomable young man, and Quinn took the lead, and the vampire species knelt down with the etiquette of a dark nobleman of extreme grace, and met the lord with the power of a courtier.
The rebellious and powerful beasts knelt down one after another, bowing down to a human like worshipping the emperor of the dark world, and such a sense of accomplishment would make anyone flutter, but Sigma forced himself to calm down...... He knew that he was far from having truly subdued these powerful beasts, but fortunately, the other party was just a beast, and as long as it was a beast, there was a way to tame it.
He was prepared for it.
Sigma turned back to Helena, "Mission accomplished, let's go." ”
The black-haired boy looked back at the powerful dark creatures, and Helena was a little distracted by such a scene, and then said bluntly: "You have to be careful, they are wild and untamable, and their allegiance is not trustworthy now." ”
The dark creatures bared their fangs and glared at Helena with cold and murderous eyes, but this woman, as an important judge of the ruling, had the bearing and confidence of a powerhouse in the Holy Realm, and she was not afraid to look at these old acquaintances.
The necromancer nodded to her, "I know what I know. ”
He turned his head to look at these "courtiers" who were loyal to him again, the dark creatures put away their fangs and responded with a deferential attitude, but neither side was stupid, they both knew how fragile the "allegiance" was now, once Sigma's control over them weakened, then they would be torn apart by these so-called "courtiers" in an instant, and there would be no other end.
In this case, the king had to find a way to strengthen his control. And the courtiers also have to find a way to weaken the king's suspicions, because at this moment the king is strong and the ministers are weak. The small life is still in the hands of the other party.
In this case, Quinn broke the silence. He said softly, "Your Highness, Quinn is willing to sign a master-servant contract with you. ”
Is this dead bat going to identify this thigh for the rest of his life? The hearts of the dark creatures are scolding, why do you come to show your loyalty, what are we going to do? Sign them all? He's not a fool, he will become an idiot if he signs too many spiritual contracts!
"It doesn't have to be this way." Sigma waved her hand and smiled, "I don't like to force people. ”
…… Fart, don't like to force others? Which one is it that just threatened Lao Tzu to be honest dogs, otherwise he will refine us into undead creatures as dogs?
Before the dark creatures could come up with a solution. Sigma waved her hand, said "Catch up," and swaggered towards the exit of the Iron Prison of Thorns, her back facing the dark creatures in such a majestic manner, looking defenseless and full of mockery...... But no matter how tempting this flaw is, no one wants to be the first bird, because the life and death of the first person to do it are unpredictable, and this group of beasts who have grown up fighting in the dark world. There is a lack of self-sacrificing spirit.
So they looked at each other with a wry smile, and finally let out a long sigh and followed Sigmar behind him, under the watchful eye of the priests. Moving forward with a little nervousness—not because of the fear of the clergy, but of the outside world, who had been in this prison for too long. There was once a mad desire for freedom, but now freedom is within reach. I'm about to leave this damn hell on earth, but ...... There was a little confusion and confusion in their hearts for no reason.
That's when it happened. Sigma looked back at them, and smiled.
For some reason, a little bit of peace suddenly appeared in the hearts of these dark creatures.
The huge portal, which had been blessed with countless holy seals and was itself a holy artifact, slowly opened, and the fresh air that had not been seen for a long time poured in, even causing the dark creatures to let out a burst of exclamations, and Sigma also sighed, because when he entered the Thorn Iron Prison, the sky was still shining, but now the air was a little more clammy and cold, as if it was going to rain.
At the entrance to the Iron Prison stood an anxious-looking blackfriar, Sigma raised his chin and took the initiative to ask, "What is the result of the Acting Pope's battle?" Has the evacuation of the city begun? What happened? ”
The blackfriar was stunned for a moment, and replied instinctively: "The target is a high-speed, high-speed magic airliner full of dangerous items, although the acting pope can destroy the opponent in the air, but he can't stop all the dangerous objects from splashing around, so he finds a way to change the course of the opponent, kill the pilot, and guide him to a safe area...... The evacuation of the city had begun, and there was no large-scale chaos, but the sky seemed to be in an unusual condition, and a large amount of clouds began to converge. ”
Sigma's expression moved, pushed the black-clothed monk away, and walked towards the courtyard, his figure flashed, and the Prince of the Blood Clan and the Werewolf Duke followed behind the necromancer - the two of them are the best of this group of dark creatures, and they are all smart people with vicious eyes and flexible minds, and they have a clear understanding and judgment of Sigma's potential and future. These two wise men have already thought about how to become the arms and confidants of the new lord early...... Of course, they will not let go of this kind of opportunity.
Sigma didn't care about the calculations in the minds of the two, in fact, he didn't care about the loyalty of the dark creatures, since the necromancer had decided to release these guys, he already had all the plans and considerations, signing the master-servant contract was completely superfluous, and he had a better way to clean up these evil beasts.
At the moment, all his eyes were occupied by the sky.
After a long time, he spat out a foul phrase: "Fuck ......"
The originally clear sky has been occupied by crazy surging clouds, black clouds overwhelm the city, thunder shines, faintly thunder sounds attack from the sky, one after another bright holy light shoots into the sky, it is the Holy See's holy domain powerhouse trying to use holy power to interfere with the elemental changes and disperse this strange celestial phenomenon, but there seems to be an invisible powerful force manipulating this qiē, even if the holy light shines and the law is dispersed, the violent elemental phenomenon is still gathering thunderstorms and sweeping rain clouds......
The dark clouds gathered, the gray sky swelled, obscuring the dazzling sunlight, shrouding the whole land in darkness, and the sun disappeared into the clouds, covering people's hearts with a layer of haze, and the necromancers were all discussing the strangeness of the sky with anxiety, not knowing what was going on.
But Sigma knew what was going on.
He has already experienced the same situation twice.
In the border town that had just left Atlas, in Callo, the terrifying thunderstorms, the abnormal celestial phenomena, all of which were man-made, were all man-made, all of them were a magic instrument that stole the authority of the Father and shone with the brilliance of magic...... The inventor of this magic weapon to manipulate celestial phenomena is called Tesla, and it is one of the works that he is proud of.
At the time of Carlo, Tesla died, and all the magic works and materials left behind were given to Lyudmila with Sigma's acquiescence, and she took them to the emperor to confess to the emperor.
And it's bigger than ever......
Sigma didn't have time to think about what that meant...... But when this matter is over, you must go to the Empire and ask the Supreme for an explanation.
He said indifferently: "Ready, it's going to go." (To be continued......)
