442 Brother and sister who became puppets
Cosseni's sudden difficulty caught the twin siblings by surprise.
Indeed, it was the two of them who made a deal with Cosseni's daughter to make her part of the plan to assassinate Gordon. Freeman. In the end, the two men's plan did not succeed and was self-defeating, but was used by Gordon, thus deepening the conflict with his father and leading to the final family split.
The female Teflin assassin disappeared after the assassination. Although Hensel and Grida guessed that she was most likely killed by Gordon, when Corseni asked, he did not tell the truth, but only prevaricated.
Now, even if the matter has been known to Cosseni, the two siblings do not think that they need to shout and kill. After all, it was Gordon who killed the female Assassin of Tevelyn. And the two of them, the cooperation with the female assassin was completely voluntary, and there was no deception.
But Coseni doesn't think so.
It is inherently more difficult for mages to give birth to offspring than ordinary people, not to mention, it is still a crystallization with a beloved succubus pet. After the death of his only daughter, Cosseni's anger was completely overflowing, and he did not go back to distinguish what was the primary and secondary responsibility. All those involved in the death of his daughter will be punished by his own hands!
Hensel and Grida are just the first two. And the culprit Gordon. Freeman, I'll talk about it later.
Although he has now degenerated into a six-ring mage, Coseni's various magical equipment will not degenerate, and it is still the level that an eight-ring mage should have. One of his biggest strengths now is the invisible staff in his hand.
This staff has the advantage of being silent and unexpected in battle, and it is also the favorite weapon of Coseni as a former master of illusion and mind.
The staff not only stores a variety of powerful spells, but also can increase the power of the spells of the two schools of expertise cast by Coseni itself.
This time deciding to turn against Hensel and Greda, the former eight-ring mage was well prepared. He met the other party. He used the strongest spell stored in the staff. Two sleepy-looking dark red rays of light shot out from the staff, hitting Hensel and Greda in succession.
Hensel and Grida's various magic items sensed Coseni's attack and reacted to the stress, shining with brilliant magical aura, but none of them worked.
The two five-ring mages didn't even react at all, and stood in the study in a daze. It's like turning into two sculptures.
Coseni smiled smugly. He circled around the brother and sister before he said, "The Illusion School deceives other people's eyes, and the Mind School manipulates other people's brains. And I'm good at both. I know you two little guys used to laugh at me as an aging loser from the bottom of your heart. But you have forgotten the gap between me and you. It's not just between the fifth and sixth rings, it's that simple. Back then, I was called by many as 'Koseni the String Puppeteer', and I was hated, feared, and ......loved by people in the Feretton aristocracy."
Cosseni, who had just been furious at the death of his daughter, now regained his elegant and bookish appearance. He straightened a silver thread, and then dusted off the ash that was not on the mage's robe. After a good time, he made it to the sand, and ordered Greda, "Go, make me a cup of coffee." ”
Despite the struggling expression, Greda reluctantly took out coffee beans, grinders, strainers, and other things from the cabinet next to her.
There was a time when the King of Hyperven wanted to be a vassal of elegance, so he bought a whole set of expensive coffee utensils in his study and asked his servants to make coffee for him. And in order to please her father, Greda also learned how to make coffee.
Look at Greda's back. Cosseni's eyes lit up: "My daughter used to make me coffee by herself......
He turned his head and said to Hensel, "Don't be idle, take out the key of brown earth." ”
"You're ......," Hensel looked angry at the corner of his eye.
"Hmph, what do you have in your hands that you think I don't know? The underground palace in the Vesurayama Mountains is divided into four areas, which are composed of green wind, brown earth, red flame, and blue ice. Four keys to open. Only with these four keys will you be able to access the most central area and get the final treasure......" said Koseni, "I went to Mount Waisula once ten years ago. You know these things better than you do. ”
Hensel didn't expect that he and his sister would know about the upcoming trip to Mount Wesula. He gritted his teeth, resisting the disobedient commands that his brain had transmitted to his body under the influence of the spell.
"Oh, it looks like you're not bad...... you're going to have a playful smile on the corners of Coseni's mouth. He held out his left index finger and hooked it slightly.
I saw a dark red spiritual thread immediately emerge from my fingertips, growing in the air like a vine, and finally piercing the top of Hensel's head.
Coseni moved his fingers again, and Hensel shuddered, unable to hold on any longer, and walked mechanically and stiffly to the wall on the left side of the study, and then recited the activation command. A hidden dark grid appears on the wall.
"That's why people call me 'Koseni the String Puppeteer.'"
This eight-ring mage once created a mind spell called "Coseni's Total Domination". This spell can be regarded as an enhanced version of the five-ring mental spell "Domination of Humans", which is not only more powerful, but also does not have many of the shortcomings of "Domination of Humans".
"Dominating a human being" can only control one human at a time. "And Coseni's total domination" can control up to three people at a time. Moreover, the mage who uses the "domination of humans" to manipulate others has to suppress the will of the dominated person every twenty-four hours, and if it fails, the other party will be able to break free from the spell control. And "Cosseini's total domination" has no such drawback. In addition, there are very few spells that can counter the original spell of Koseni, and the scope of application is stronger than that of "dominating humans".
So "Domination of Humans" is only a five-ring spell, while "Coseni's Total Domination" is an eight-ring spell.
Soon, Hensel honestly handed a stone key with a rough surface to Koseni. If Gordon had seen this key, he would have seen it, and it would have looked almost identical to the Flame Key he had found in the Blackwater Swamp, and the Arrow of the Green Wind, the sacred artifact that the Akan people had kept in the town of Green Wheat.
Coseni accepted the key, and Grida came over with a fragrant piping hot coffee.
"Thank you." Coseni politely thanked him, then picked up his coffee cup and took a small sip.
"Originally. I'm going to have you unload all your gear and attack Gordon. Coseni said to Grida slowly. His tone sounded relaxed, but what he said made the two siblings shudder.
Originally, neither Hensel nor Greda was Gordon's opponent. If they also unload all their equipment and attack Gordon, it's like holding a small dagger all over their bodies. What's the difference between charging an entire Ferreton legion?
"You...... You can't do this! Greda's face was filled with fear of death. She was now completely controlled by Coseni and had no way to resist any orders from the other party. Even if the other party wants to die by himself, he can only do it.
"Why not? You can send my daughter to death, why can't I let you die? Coseni sneered.
"Master Coseni, the death of your daughter. We're sorry, but it really was just an accident, and the chances of success of that assassination plan were high, who knows......," Hensel explained with dry lips.
"Who knows, Gordon's strength is far from your imagination? Hum! I've already looked into it. You two siblings fought Gordon once in a small village called Moruru, but they were defeated by each other. Hensel was also seriously injured. So you know very well that Gordon is far stronger than you, and there are a few very powerful helpers. You know the dangers of going to Seacliff Castle, but you don't explain it to my daughter! ”
The twin siblings were speechless for a moment. They did know how difficult it was to assassinate Gordon. But at that time, I was very confident in my plan. The second is that Corseni's Tevling daughter, a hybrid with abyssal blood, will definitely not be valued by her father, so he decides to take the risk and implement it.
Suddenly, Coseni changed his words: "Forget it. For the sake of Greda, your coffee is brewing well. I'll spare your lives. ”
This kind of nonsensical reason is naturally just a pretext.
The reason why Coseni left the twin siblings alive is because these two people are five-ring mages, their strength is not bad, and they are natives of the peninsula. They will be of great use on a trip to Mount Wesula in the near future.
No matter how confident he is in his own strength, Coseni does not believe in this trip to the Vesura. It will be smooth sailing. There are two cannon fodder to use, and the journey will be smoother.
After drinking the coffee, there was a noisy shouting outside the window.
It turned out to be Gordon's fleet, which shot several incendiary fire canisters at the stables of Aldrich's mansion. A large pile of hay was set on fire, and the fire was fierce and spreading. The servants and guards of the house hurriedly ran to extinguish the fire, and for a time it was extremely chaotic.
Coseni ignored this qiē. He put down his coffee cup and said, "Okay, let's get out." ”
When they thought that their home had fallen into a sea of fire, the hearts of the two siblings were not a taste. But the shape is strong by others, so they can only grit their teeth and endure.
The siblings glanced at each other and saw each other's thoughts. They nodded in unison, and followed behind Cosseni.
Coseni, who had used this eight-ring spell to control countless people, naturally knew what the plans of some trapped beasts trapped in the mental cage were. He just smiled, not paying attention to the thoughts of the twin siblings.
Coseni opened a circle in the room, and the three of them quickly disappeared.
And Gordon didn't know about this change in the Aldrich family. He's just in Rob. The fire on the Antello, and then the Aldrich family's mansion, intensified and finally became completely out of control.
The Aldrich family was originally fluctuating, but now when the people are desperately trying to put out the fire, Hensel and Greda, who are the masters, have been nowhere to be found. Soon, a rumor began to circulate that the twin siblings had abandoned Black Iron City and fled on their own.
Although there is a bit of a discrepancy, it is indeed a fact that Hensel and Grida are gone.
As a result, the servants and soldiers, who had no backbone, no longer struggled to put out the fire, but hurried to grab their belongings from the mansion and then fled in all directions.
By the time Gordon's fleet arrived at Black Iron City and began bombarding it with ballistas, it was already evening. It's late at night. The entire Aldrich house, which covers an area of size, has been almost engulfed in flames. Gordon immediately realized that something might have happened in the Black Iron City, otherwise he would not have been able to control even a small fire, and finally fell into an uncontrollable situation.
Now that the opportunity is in front of him, Gordon will not miss it. He uses teleportation to inform Chuck. Rise to the general attack. And he himself, with all the Ice Golems that had survived the naval battle and were still intact, took as the vanguard, and boarded 6 from the port.
Under this flanking situation, the Aldrich family, which had fallen into the state of the dragons, did not organize a decent resistance at all. It was almost crushed at the touch of a button, and it was surrendered at the first battle.
It only took about an hour, and Gordon's army occupied the entire Black Iron City with little effort. On the contrary, it took a lot of effort to extinguish the fire and maintain law and order to prevent the rout and gangsters from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.
Until noon the next day. The situation in the entire Black Iron City has finally stabilized.
The twenty or so people who were tightly bound by ropes and knelt in front of Gordon were all prominent figures in the Aldrich family. They were unlucky, not fleeing early, as some of their early companions did, and ended up being captives of Gordon.
Hernandez, who was in charge of the territory's intelligence work, was holding a thick stack of papers. Gurdon gushed around him.
"My lord, I am familiar with these Aldrich minions. They were the greatest accomplices in the enslavement of the Ables to rule the peninsula. These are the records of the crimes that I have recently put together. ”
"Just have these records. I don't want to read them all and see their 'glorious deeds' of slaughtering a village or humiliating a few women on a certain day, year, month, and day. Originally, I hoped to find one or two people from these people to help me stabilize the situation, but it seemed impossible. ”
"IMHO. Your Lordship. If you forgive the sins of any of them and keep them for yourself, it will have a very bad effect. Your subordinates, I'm afraid no one wants to be in the company of scum......"
"I know. This is called maintaining the purity of the revolutionary ranks. Gordon waved his hand, "But this group of people is also somewhat useful, and can help me win the hearts and minds of the people of the Hybon Peninsula." ”
Although Hernandez couldn't understand what Gordon said in the previous sentence, he immediately understood the meaning of the latter sentence: "My lord, I will immediately go and prepare for a trial." Those who have long been oppressed and persecuted by the Aldrich family must be more than happy to see their enemies unlucky. ”
"It's up to you to arrange this. When the time comes, let Quincy preside. Gordon commanded.
Although he captured Black Iron City, Gordon knew that the first qiē was not over yet. He had to seize control of the iron and silver mines in the northern part of the peninsula, as well as other tree farms and plantations, which were the former properties of the Aldrich family. Moreover, behind the Aldrich family, there are big nobles from Changxia Province as backers. He didn't want to be interfered with at such a critical moment and fall short.
Leaving 200 soldiers to keep the law and order, Chuck continued to lead his army north, vowing to completely expel the Aldrich family from the Hayven Peninsula. So this time, his end point was the border between the peninsula and the territory of the Frey family in Changxia Province.
Gordon originally planned to go out with the army, but he was about to leave, but he received a message from his sister: The fleet of the Phoenix family has arrived in Cloud Scale City, accompanied by several ** divisions of the Arcane Federation.
With so many big names suddenly appearing, it's no wonder that Xie Ona would send this message to him at the critical moment of eliminating the Aldrich family's power. Gordon knew that if it wasn't for the fact that it was too important, his sister wouldn't bother him.
After weighing it up, Gordon decided to return to Seacliff Fort and leave the rest to Chuck and Hernandez and the others. After all, the elimination of the Aldrich family was already a sure thing, and he only decided to act with the army for the sake of safety.
However, whether it is the Phoenix family or the Arcane Federation, it is a force that Gordon needs to try to win over as much as possible, at least not to deal with evil, and must be treated with caution.
Gordon sailed all the way back to Cloudscales, and as soon as he reached the square in front of Seacliff Castle, where he had organized the crowd to watch how he had defeated the evil spirits of Count Stirling, he saw several mages dressed in the unique blue mage robes of the Arcane Federation, gathered around Durina.
Fortunately, there is no bloody conflict, just a group of mages studying and observing spell-casting skills.
However, what made Gordon wonder was why Dudley, such a gifted first-ring mage, would become the center of attention.
Until, he saw Dudley raise his hand and throw a billowing fireball into the sky.
In mid-air, the scorching energy released after the fireball exploded made Gordon on the ground feel a little hot. This is the signature of the most authentic three-ring school of plasticity: fireball. And looking at Dudley's technique, he is quick and skillful, and the power of the spell is also very good, and he is a veteran who has touched the third layer of the magic net for a long time.
What's going on? Could it be that he has lost his eyes, Durina is actually a genius who is even more powerful than a guy with a plug-in like himself, and in just a few days, he has been promoted from the first ring to the third ring mage?
