Chapter 470: Shocking Secret
"Great!" Wren was overjoyed.
The problem of the teacher's physical collapse is related to the survival of Wei Zelan, and in the past two years, it has been pressing on the hearts of him and the speakers, but he does not dare to look for the supernatural elements that can repair the body with great fanfare, so he can only act in secret.
I thought it wouldn't be difficult, but I didn't expect it to drag on for so long, and I unexpectedly got the result in Congartro.
There are many elements in the demon soul of the Spirit Wind Stag, more than twenty, in addition to the most important "Endless Spring Breeze", there are also very rare "Wind Child" and a number of rare wind spells, and even "Swiftness" has eight levels, this is the first time Wren has seen more than seven or more swiftness elements.
With such a fast speed and wind spells, it's no wonder that it took the two Speakers three days to successfully kill it.
"Two Speakers, thank you for your hard work this time. Wren said.
"As long as it can solve the trouble of the Speaker, it is nothing. Kadegar waved his hand, his face was also happy, but Wren's soul eye noticed a hint of worry flashing across his face.
Speaker Cleos also looked preoccupied.
Wren's smile narrowed, realizing that something might have happened to them, so he put away the soul stone and opened an arbitrary door and walked in.
The two wizards followed, appearing in a luxurious bedroom inside the Red Dragon Keep, Wren's temporary residence.
They saw Wren tear open a scroll of soundproof force fields.
Wren's expression was serious, "Two Speakers, have you encountered enemies?"
"Yes. Cadegar was surprised, "How do you know?"
Seeing that Wren shook his head and didn't answer immediately, he continued: "This Spirit Wind Stag is a fast runner and is good at stealth, but no matter how fast it is, it can't escape the detection of spells, so we chased it all the way north, through the Duchy of Brandon into the Chekchi Peninsula. ”
A map of the Old World came to Wren's mind.
The Chekchi Peninsula is a peninsula located at the northeastern tip of the Old World and the easternmost point of the entire continent, across the sea from the New World.
The peninsula, which is the size of two or three imperial provinces, is covered in snow and ice all year round, and is one of the coldest regions in the world, with only a small number of orcs and a few rare hardy races scattered across the vast tundra in extremely cold weather, so it barely belongs to the territory of the orc tribe.
"After we reached the Chekchi Peninsula, the whereabouts of the Spirit Wind Stag were covered. ”
"Spell interference?" Wren guessed.
"Yes. Kadegar nodded, "And the spellcasting methods are very familiar, and it took a lot of effort for Speaker Cleos and I to eliminate the interference and find the traces of the other party? ”
"After a fight, we wounded them. ”
Then it took two more days to find the Spirit Wind Stag and take down its demon soul. ”
Cadegar summed up the process with the phrase "fight and hurt", but Wren knew how difficult it was.
Those two wizards, one at level eighteen, the other at level nineteen, are not simple characters in the whole of Ehrenus. Speaker Kadegar is only level seventeen, and he can defeat and injure his opponents, definitely not as easy as he says.
But Wren's focus is not on the fight, but on the purpose of the other party!
Why did they interfere with the two Speakers hunting the Spirit Wind Stag?
The duel between himself and Marc that day was watched by countless people. The terrifying self-healing ability displayed by Mark, some knowledgeable people can guess that this is the "Endless Spring Breeze" element, but it is likely impossible to know that his "Endless Spring Breeze" is obtained from the Spirit Wind Stag through a soul contract.
The soul contract is a very private thing, and everyone who has signed the soul contract will not easily let outsiders guess this relationship.
Because it is possible for the enemy to hurt himself by hurting his soul mate.
Of course, Dragon Knight is not among them.
Marc obviously deliberately concealed his relationship with the Spirit Wind Stag, he was a giant deer warrior? It is normal for him to have the blood of the Wind Fury Giant Deer and master the wind spells? There are speculations but no certainty.
However, this relationship is difficult to hide from the legendary high-ranking wizards.
Those two wizards had been in contact with Mark, and they should be able to determine the source of Mark's "endless spring breeze", and thus lock on to the body of the Spirit Wind Stag.
The question is, why did they take an interest in the Ectomode Stag, and track it half a step earlier into the Chekchi Peninsula, and set up spell interference for the two Speakers!
Obviously, they didn't want the spirit of the Spirit Wind Stag to fall into the hands of the wizards of Wezeland.
The message behind this is worrying!
Wren saw the same doubts in the eyes of the two speakers as himself, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that it was a mistake, they just happened to want the demon soul of the Spirit Wind Stag?" After all, the value of this demon soul is extremely high, at least worth hundreds of thousands of gold shields. ”
"I'm afraid not. Cleos disagreed, "They came prepared. ”
Kadegar nodded in agreement.
Wren's expression was uncertain, which meant that the news of the teacher's injury might have leaked out.
But he didn't understand, this matter was only known to the members of the Council of Six, who had a reason to leak the news? When he was in Wezeland, he often secretly observed the other Speakers with the Eye of the Soul, and even the teacher secretly observed it a few times, and it was very clear that there were no traitors in the Council of Six.
"That's not right!"
Wren suddenly realized that it wasn't just the Council of Six that knew what was going on.
There is another person who may know something about the teacher's physical condition, and that is the Holy Soul Lich who hit the teacher with the "Finger of Death" - Sazarstan!
At that time, Sazarstan saw that his spell was invalid and was frightened away by the teacher, but after all, he was a Holy Soul-level spellcaster, and he should have noticed that something was wrong afterwards, and maybe he would be able to find out the teacher's abnormality. The teacher has not left Wezeland for these two years, and two years is a very short time for the long life of the Holy Soul Wizard, even if he does not go out for decades.
But combined with the effect of that "Finger of Death", Sazartan is likely to guess the truth!
Or, the two legendary wizards were just checking to see if the teacher was injured.
However, this does not match what Marker said before he died, the relationship between the two legendary wizards from a floating city in the Empire, and Sazarstan in the Old World, who is the chief lich of the "Death Knot Sigil", is very different, how can it be ......
Wren suddenly shook and his eyes widened.
He seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world, his pupils narrowed and dilated, his expression changed, and his hands trembled a few times invisibly, looking a little out of shape.
"Wren, what did you find?"
"Wren?"
"Wren ......"
Cadegar saw that something was wrong with Wren, and called Wren several times before he came back to his senses.
He exhaled a long breath, and the two speakers were looking at him intently, their minds were racing, this matter was too serious, if it was true, it would be the most shocking news in the history of the empire for more than two thousand years, and the impact was so great that it might even overturn the current ruling pattern of the empire!
But this is just your own speculation, and you can't be sure, the less people know, the better.
"The two Speakers," Wren said solemnly, "I have a guess now, but I can't tell you for the time being, and I must go back to Wizeland to report to the teacher before I can make a decision, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." I ask for your understanding. ”
His expression just now was too obvious, and he couldn't hide it from the two legendary wizards, so he told him frankly.
Seeing his serious face, Cadegar nodded, and did not ask.
Cleos pouted a little unhappily, as a red dragon, he had a strong curiosity like most dragons, and Wren's momentary gaffe must have mastered very important information, tickling his heart, and he wanted to know immediately.
"Are you going back to Wezeland now?" asked Cadegard.
Wren thought for a moment, "Emilys' enthronement ceremony is just two days away, and I also have something to stay for a few days, and then I will set up a teleportation array in Dragonspine City and return to Wizeland." ”
"The two Speakers only need to leave one to attend the enthronement ceremony, just in case. The wizards will also be stationed in Kangatro for two to three months, and when the situation stabilizes and Emilys takes complete control of the kingdom, the wizards will gradually evacuate. ”
"The other can go back to Wizeland first and hand over the Demon Soul of the Spirit Wind Stag to the teacher. ”
He took out the Soul Stone.
The sooner the teacher's physical problems are repaired, the sooner everyone can feel at ease. As for that amazing secret, it was a big deal, but it was not an emergency, and I didn't think through the details, so it didn't affect me if I told the teacher a few days later.
The two speakers glanced at each other, and Cleos preemptively said, "I'll stay, the enthronement ceremony of a new queen should be a little interesting." And she still owes us money, my account book is clear, 30 million gold dong plus those booty, not a single gold shield is not less. ”
Speaking of the harvest of this war, the red dragon's eyes were faintly shining.
"Then I'll go back first. "Cadegar is indifferent by nature, dedicated to the study of arcane arts, and does not value wealth or like to join in the fun, so he has no objection to this arrangement.
He took the soul stone, opened the portal and left without any fuss.
The next day, at noon.
The sound of bells rang throughout the royal capital, Kingsland, and every bell tower was runged, and along the streets of the city, the Scales and Bloodguards loudly announced that there would be a trial on the platform of the square in front of the Red Dragon Castle, and that the culprit of the trial was the traitor of Congatro.
Most of the residents were not surprised that His Majesty's guards had put up notices in the city in the morning.
The announcement made a list of those who would be executed today, and the first one in line was Duke Brandon! A noble duke was going to be executed, and the news shocked countless people, and there was a lot of talk everywhere. Many people had arrived at the square in front of the Red Dragon Castle a few hours earlier, and they were surrounded by water.
In the Red Dragon Castle, Wren and Emilys stand on a wide terrace of the castle, which is built on top of a hill and overlooks the square.
Emily stood in the middle with the moon in her eyes, her beautiful face very calm.
Wren glanced with the eye of the soul and saw that her mood was a little happy in the seriousness, but the noble lords of the major families seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, their hearts were churning.
With another bell ringing, a group of scaly guards pulled out the transcendents bound in chains made of magical alloy and ascended to the judgment platform in the plaza.
"Duke Brandon!"
"It's really ...... him"
"The gods are above, do they really dare to execute Duke Brandon?"
There was a huge uproar in the crowd of onlookers, and the commotion spread, and people scrambled to look at the figures on the platform, trying to get a good look at Duke Brandon. Not to mention a duke, even a baron is a high-ranking and indescribable big man for commoners.
Now that a duke has become a prisoner and is about to be beheaded, people are shocked and gloating at the same time.
There was a crowd of people, and tens of thousands of civilians crowded towards the platform, all wanting to get closer.
On the platform, Duke Brandon's face was pale, the fall of the Ice Wolf Knights and the death of Marc hit him too hard, and he still couldn't accept this fact, and his serious injuries have not healed, coughing up blood from time to time, turning a blind eye to the onlookers in the audience, and not struggling like others.
A high-ranking transcendent stepped forward, opened the file and read it aloud, listing Duke Brandon's guilt.
This transcendent followed Emilys for many years.
He used to be a nobleman, born in a family of earls, and his ancestors were loyal to the dragons, but in the usurpation war of that year, the family was destroyed, and he was the only one in the hundreds of people in the family who escaped, only a teenager, and was rescued together after being discovered by Valogen.
Over the years, he has been thinking about revenge for his family all the time, and he hates Malke and the three major families to the core.
Now this goal is finally coming true.
Emilys had promised to restore his family's reputation and territory and be crowned Earl of Tal, so she volunteered to become a judge and kill the murderer who had killed the entire family.
Earl of Tarr's voice was loud, and he was blessed with "amplification", so that half of the people of Kingsland could hear his judgment words.
He declared Duke Brandon guilty of only one crime, and that was treason!
Then there were the others, the noble lords who had committed all the atrocities they had committed in the war of the usurpers, murder and arson, plundering of the civilian population, etc., and finally referring to the dead Marc himself, pointing out that Marc had planned to burn the whole city as a threat, as evidenced by a handwritten letter from Marc himself.
The Count of Tal swore an oath in the name of the dragon god and gave the most serious testimony to Marque.
The inhabitants of the entire Kingsland were boiling.
Only then did they realize that they were almost set on fire by Marke, and some people were afraid, and more people scolded, and gradually gathered into one sentence: "Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The sound of the crowd rang out loud and loud in the sky.
Duke Brandon originally listened numbly, until Count Tarr "revealed" Marke's plan, he raised his head with an excited expression, but he was forbidden by the wizard, and he couldn't say a word when he opened his mouth desperately, and his whole body trembled.
The Scaly Guards drew their swords and pressed the top half of the criminals to the execution table. Recommended ReadingTV//
Count Tal was holding a two-handed greatsword that shimmered with cold light, it was Duke Brandon's "Ice Greatsword", and he asked the Scaly Blood Guard to hold down Duke Brandon, raising the Ice Greatsword, and a trace of coldness flashed in the corner of his eyes.
The sword flashed, poof!
Duke Brandon's head falls to the ground.
At the same time, the scale-wielding blood guards also made their moves, swinging their swords and beheading, more than a hundred heads were separated in unison, and blood gushed out and stained the judgment platform red.
The crowd of onlookers was silent for a few seconds, and then burst into cheers.
And this was only the first batch, and the Scaly Guards soon brought in a second group of prisoners, and after the sentence was pronounced, Count Tarr was immediately executed. Batch after batch of heads fell to the ground, and the blood from the judgment seat flowed into the square, and the pungent smell of blood made people retreat, their faces turned pale, and the cheers became quieter and quieter, and finally became silent.
The trial lasted more than two hours.
Emily watched the whole thing.
None of the noble lords on the terrace of the Red Dragon Castle dared to leave early, and they were all silent. They all know very well that this is a warning from Her Majesty to herself.
This is what happens to the betrayer!
