Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Pure Soul
The dark and rainy night, pouring rain like a black curtain, cut off Pandavi from the outside world.
The battlefield that has experienced the great war still retains the atmosphere of terror after more than ten days. The city defense of Hemadon City replaced the remaining garrison of Lin Si City.
For the big explosion half a month ago, even Maldu, who was far away in Hemadon City at the time, had lingering palpitations. The explosion was so powerful that the houses in Hemadon City were severely damaged in the earthquake caused by the explosion, but fortunately there were not many casualties. Therefore, when it was known that the place where the big explosion occurred was Mount Pandavi, which was not far from Lin Sicheng, everyone understood that Lin Sicheng was gone.
But when Marl, who received an order from the city lord Diremi the next day, knew that Lin Si City was not only not destroyed, but also unscathed, he was speechless in shock. However, the garrison of Lin Sicheng, who was sent to Pandavi Mountain to exterminate the vampires at that time, did not have the same good fortune as Lin Sicheng, and there was no skeleton to be found on the ruins of Pandavi Mountain.
In order to lose the garrison of Lin Si City, after receiving the order of the governor of the eastern provinces of the empire, Colbers, the city lord of Hemadon City, Diremi, sent Mar to Lin Si City to investigate the cause of the explosion on Mount Pandavi, and at the same time garrison Lin Si City.
For going to Lin Si City, Mar is a hundred reluctant, but there is no way, the official is one level to crush people, not to mention that the governor of the province is not much older than him, the commander of the small garrison.
Fortunately, although the explosion was horrific to look at, and the tragic situation of Mount Pandavi was shocking, it was not at all dangerous to investigate.
Standing in the heavy rain, Mar wiped away the rain that kept flowing from his rain hat, and then shouted to the mage Reg who was standing beside him, "Lord Regg, how are the elemental fluctuations collected?"
"No progress!" replied loudly to Regg, who was constrained by the heavy rain.
Although it is possible to cast spells to block out the annoying rain, it is fearful that the release of spells will disturb the fluctuations of the magic elements released in the ruins. As a magician, Reg can only be like Marr, wearing a rain hat and suffering in the heavy rain.
"Damn, how long is this going to last?" asked Marr aloud. The city guards of Hemadon have been stationed here for too long, and if there is progress, it may be acceptable, but repeating the same work every day will not get any results, and no one can accept it.
What's more, there is a fatal problem affecting the morale of the city defense army of Hemadun City. Perhaps it was because the battle was so fierce that even after more than ten days, there were still enough curses and demonic energy on the battlefield that could affect physical health. Although Hemadon City has sent a large number of magicians, coupled with the reinforcements of Lin Si City, many soldiers still die every day because of the poor environment here.
Under the heavy reward and high pressure, the army is still stable, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current calm is only temporary, as long as there is a small fuse, then the powder keg of Pandawei Mountain will be detonated.
"Lord Mar, Lord Mar!"
When he looked at the ruins in front of him worriedly, his adjutant Hogg shouted anxiously behind him.
"What's wrong?" Although he didn't know what news Hogg had brought, looking at his expression, Mar knew that Hogg would definitely not bring him good news. Sure enough, after Hogg finished speaking, Marr's face changed instantly. The mage on the side, Regg, directly blessed himself with an agility technique desperately.
"Damn, go tell everyone and evacuate Mount Pandawi. Also, report to Master Diremi, and say that what we are looking for has been found!" said Mar anxiously to the lieutenant beside him as he ran in the direction Reg had left.
"Yes, my lord!" Seeing the chief's expression, Hogg also understood that what he had reported was extraordinary, and hurried to the bottom of Pandavi Mountain.
It's just that, without two steps, Hogg felt a blazing sensation behind him. When he turned around, he saw a fiery explosion in the direction he had left. At the same time, the shock wave from the explosion rushed towards this direction with dirt and stones. Hogg only had time to say "damn it" before he was swallowed up by the shockwave.
In the Lin Sicheng City Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere was heavy. Governor Kolbers sat at the top and said nothing. Albers, the city lord of Lin Si City, Diremi, the city lord of Hemadon City, and Clavath, the patriarch of the Delvense family, were all sitting in their seats, unusually silent.
"My lord, what should we do now!" Although he didn't want to ask, after all, Pandawei Mountain was in his own jurisdiction, and the army that had just supported Lin Si City was completely wiped out, if the Panda Wei Mountain incident was not properly handled, I am afraid that I, the city lord of Lin Si City, would not be in charge.
Albers believed that Diremy and Clavos were in the same mood as his own statue, so he wondered what was going on in the Governor's heart now.
After Albers asked, the hall was silent. It was a long time before Kolbers spoke, "Wait!"
Albers, Diremi, and Clavers glanced at each other, then sat down in their chairs and fell silent again.
Time is slipping away, and the sun is sinking. When the last of the afterglow was gone, Kolbos in the first seat opened his eyes, "Go, come with me to meet Lord Corndorf!"
"Gondorf!" The three people in the hall all had shocked looks in their eyes, they never thought that the Empire's Protector Archmage, Master Gondorf, would come in person.
After Colbers got up and walked outside the house, the three of them also came to their senses and hurriedly got up and followed Colbers.
As the archmage protector of the Alverian Empire, Gundorf Atwell has not appeared in front of the world for many years, but this does not affect his status in the hearts of the people of the Empire. It can be said that Gondorf has always been a god-like existence in the hearts of the people.
Even the current Emperor, the great lord Otto the Great, needs to bow his proud head in front of Gondolf. The reason is simple, if Narango is the shield of the Empire, then Gondolf is the spear of the Empire. In Naran
In several of his own initiatives, it was because of the help of Gondorf that he was able to win.
However, just as Narango lost news after the founding of the country, Gangorf also disappeared shortly after the establishment of the empire, and it was a long time.
But none of the people of the empire felt that Gondorf had died or left the empire. In their minds, Gondorf was a god-like being. It's just that even gods die, as does the more ancient world.
Following Colbers to the courtyard, Albers and the others did not see the legendary Archmage Protector, but only saw an old man in a shabby cloak, short stature, and a messy beard standing in the courtyard, looking around.
"Could this be the great Gondolf?" even Colbers didn't dare to confirm if the person in front of him was the Archmage Protector. To be on the safe side, Colbers said to Albers beside him, "Albers, go and ask!"
"Yes...... Yes, sir. Although he was not willing to go at all, the chief had already given the order, and Albers had no choice but to walk forward in front of the old man and ask in a low voice, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"Since the little friend who is hiding in the shadows has told you that I am coming, why should you do anything more?, Kolbas, your courage is far less than that of Kyavit!" the old man looked up, his cloudy eyes full of smiles.
"Master Gondorf, please forgive me for my faux pas. Hearing what the old man had said, Colberdo did not hesitate any longer, and walked quickly in front of Gondorf. As soon as he wanted to kneel, he found himself being lifted by an invisible force. "Well, I haven't been there in years, so it's only natural that you don't know me. And I don't like the complicated etiquette at all. ”
After helping Kolberth up, a kind smile appeared on Gondorf's face, "Who is Karen's father?"
As soon as Gundolph asked this, Albers and Diremi's eyes fell on Clavos, and Colbers in front of him also showed a puzzled expression.
"Hello, Lord Gondolf!" Clavers saluted to Gondolf before saying, "I am Karen's father, I don't know ...... adults looking for me."
"Kravos, you have a good son!" Gondorf stood in front of Kravos and stretched out his right hand, "I heard that you also have a daughter, who is going to the Empire's Higher School of Magic today for further study, and I didn't prepare any special gifts for the first time we met, this staff, you can stay and give it to her." ”
Looking at the staff in Gondolf's hand, even Kravers, who knew nothing about staffs, could see that the staff was unusual. A huge gem glittered at the tip of the staff, and the flowing golden light was hard to let go.
"Lord Gondorf, this ...... This gift is too ...... It's precious, Elizabeth probably can't accept it!" Clavers stammered.
"It's called Elizabeth, a very good name!" The smile on Gondorf's face became even brighter, and with a flip of his left hand, a necklace appeared in Gang again
In the palm of Dolph's old hand, "The staff is indeed a little unsuitable for girls, come and take this necklace too, so it's good!"
As a result, Clavers was even more panicked, and Colbers on the side was also a little unbearable. "Clavos, Lord Gondolf's gift, why can't you take it!"
"Yes, yes......" Colbers said this, Clavers came back to his senses, and indeed the gift given by the Protector Archmage, no matter how valuable, needs to be taken head-on.
"Well, just take it. It's not a good thing, it doesn't have to be this way. After seeing Clavos accept the gift, Gondorf turned to Colbers and said, "I already know everything about what happened in Mount Pandavi. And I'm here for that. ”
"It's me who is incompetent and bothers adults. Kolbers said in trepidation. The three of Clavers also hurriedly bent down.
"I don't blame you for this. What has happened in Mount Pandavi is far beyond what you can handle. Next, you only need to do a good job of protecting the city, and don't mix the rest!"
"Your Excellency?!" Albers asked in a whisper as he walked over to Colbers' side.
But Colbers ignored Albers, and instead said to Clavos in front of him, "Congratulations to Lord Clavos, who has given birth to two wonderful children!" Feeling the weight of the gift in his hand, Clavers smiled brightly.
"Hmph. Colbers snorted coldly, and then said to Albers: "Since Master Gangdorf has already dealt with it on the side of Mount Pandavi, then all the soldiers stationed in Mount Pandav can be withdrawn to defend the city of Linhei, since Lord Gundolph said that the city needs to be defended, then something bad will definitely happen." ”
"Your Excellency. The defenders of Lin Sicheng had been wiped out in the last battle of Mount Pandavi. Even the defenders of Helma City were wiped out not long ago, have you forgotten, my lord?" said Albers cautiously.
"Ahem, of course I haven't forgotten. Colbers coughed dryly, "What I'm going to say is to go to other cities to transfer troops!"
Seeing Albers' embarrassed face, Colbers couldn't help but be a little angry, "Why, now the eastern province of Nuoda can't even mobilize a little army? Or is it that I, the governor, are no longer useful?"
"No...... No...... No......, Albers hurriedly said, "My lord, I'll go and inform the other cities to send troops to reinforce Lin Si City now!"
"Your Excellency, please be calm. Now it is too late to send troops from other cities to reinforce Lin Sicheng. It's better to mobilize the nobles in Lin Si City and let them send noble private soldiers to garrison Lin Si City for a period of time according to the proportion, and wait for reinforcements from other cities to arrive. Clavers smiled, "My family of Delvensey is willing to send a thousand cavalry, two thousand infantry, a thousand archers, and five hundred heavy infantry!"
"Lord Clavos, don't bother with it now, let's hurry back to the family and give the gift to Princess Elizabeth
。 Otherwise, such a valuable gift is easy to be attacked by thieves all the time in your hand!" said Colbers with bad intentions.
"In that case, then I will return to the family and no longer be here to obscure the eyes of adults. Clavos smiled and received the staff and necklace in his hand into the spatial ring, and then strode out of the City Lord's Mansion with his head held high.
"My lord!" Albers, who was a little resentful of Kravers, was about to say something, but was stopped by Colbers, "Albers, no matter what misunderstandings we had with the Delvensey family before, even if this misunderstanding was due to His Majesty, we must clear it up at this moment." If Elizabeth can become a disciple of Archmage Gondorf, no one in the entire empire will shake the status of the Delvensey family!"
"Yes!" replied Albers, as did Diremi. After all, who would be a fool if someone could become the lord of a city!
At this time, from outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a soldier ran and shouted, panting, "Your Excellency...... My lord, report urgently!"
After taking the urgent report from the soldier's hand and browsing it to the side, Colbers casually handed it to Albers, and then said, "It seems that what Master Gondorf said is not wrong, and something terrible will happen in Pandavi Mountain." ”
"Albers, now order, the whole city is under strict ban. Only exit, not enter. All the guilds must report the forces in the city to the city lord, and at the same time, order all the nobles to provide all the private soldiers!" Kolbos said coldly.
"My lord, do we really want to do this? In this way, there will definitely be a big chaos in Lin Sicheng, and those nobles will definitely not be willing to hand over the power in their hands like this. Albers hesitated.
"Anyone who is unwilling to cooperate, kill. Those nobles who are reluctant to send troops, write them all down, and punish them for treason afterwards!" Kolbes's tone was already murderous.
"Yes!" Hearing Colbers say this, Albers knew that the Governor was already serious, so he saluted Colbers, and then left the city lord's palace and began to carry out Colbers's orders.
And at this moment, on the Pandavi Mountain. The air after the rain is so refreshing and refreshing.
Dracula sat on a rock that had survived the explosion, his expression relaxed. At Dracula's feet, a wolfdog was sleeping on its stomach, its inky tail wagging a few times from time to time, as if it had eaten something delicious in a dream.
"Looks like someone doesn't want us to be so laid-back!" Dracula said with a smile after touching Hei who was lying next to him.
Xiao Hei, who was sleeping, raised his head, looked at the distant sky with human-like wolf eyes, and then roared.
"Well, I know you're just recovering now, and you're not fully recovered. But there's no way, who's going to have them come to the door? Do you want you to make you a dog meat feast?"
"Roar!" said Black, who raised his head and roared, not knowing if he was dissatisfied with his master's title or if the enemy was disturbing his sweet dreams.
Dracula stood up and asked the person who had already appeared in front of him, "I am yes."
Should you be called the legendary archmage Gondolf, or the god of magic, Karbol?"
The short old man waved his hand, "Titles don't matter. Whether it's the archmage Gondolf or the god of magic, Kabol, it's just an identity. ”
"Dracula. Now that you have been resurrected and Karen's body has been successfully occupied by you, should you give me back Karen's soul?"
"Interesting souls, there are two consciousnesses, is it the spirit of the will of the nation and the spirit of the oath?" said Karen's soul in Dracula's hands. Looking at the soul of Karen, whose palms were like babies and sleeping peacefully on her knees, Dracula smiled at Gondorf and said, "Such an interesting soul, it would be a very interesting thing to see him fall into the abyss!"
"Smack. Gondolf threw an object directly in front of Dracula, "This is what you want." ”
Looking at the inconspicuous clay tablets on the ground, Dracula smiled brightly. After stooping down to pick up the clay tablets on the ground, Dracula waved his right hand, and Karen's soul drifted towards Gondorf. By the time Gangdorf had captured Karen's soul, Dracula's figure had disappeared, and only the voice still echoed on Mount Pandavi, "Great Lord Gondolf, please tell Otto the Great that the agreement between me and him is still valid!"
"Also, the previous battle opened the passage between the main plane and one half plane. I'll just trouble Lord Gangdorf to deal with it!"
Looking at the location where Dracula was originally located, a space-time rift appeared, and he felt the abyssal aura emanating from the spatial rift. With a wave of his hand, the spatial rift shrank slightly, but it still didn't disappear.
And the figure of Gangdorf has already left Mount Pandavi.
Soon after, the roar of the Abyssal Demon resounded over the ruins of Mount Pandavi.
