Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Road 017 Magical Prophecy on
Griffin escorts Charlie straight into the depths of the castle.
With the heavy crashing sound of the giant steel machine, the heavy inner city gate slowly closed, through the gap in the door, Charlie saw a group of servants outside the door flashing fear and sympathy eyes, they were outside, Charlie inside, an iron door, seemed to separate the two worlds.
There was a loud bang, the iron door was locked, and the entire inner courtyard was integrated and impregnable.
The courtyard of steel and boulders gives a sense of sad history, and the Williamson family probably did not expect that this strong inner city fortress would not be useful until the family fell.
And today, it is actually being used to judge the last Williamson man of pure blood.
Bang! Bang!
The rhythmic thumping sound beats against the heart, and in this gloomy environment, the atmosphere is particularly oppressive, and the nose is filled with a strange smell that is difficult to describe, greasy, fishy, rancid, and suffocating.
Then, several black shadows appeared in Charlie's field of vision with heavy steps, and because they were backlit, they could not distinguish their appearance, only the thick steel armor and the hideous spines on the joints could be vaguely recognized.
A bolt of lightning exploded in Charlie's mind, and Charlie understood their identity, Pavel's family knight, the knight of punishment, responsible for fighting the family's traitors and maintaining the majesty of the family's law.
These people were selected from childhood, brought into the Pavel family, went through more than ten years of penance, passed many tests, and finally left the elite, before they could be awarded the title of family knight and officially began to serve, their bottom limit is the fourth-level "earth knight", in the family private army of the millennium empire, the combat effectiveness belongs to the upper level.
What is amazing is that the knight of the family, who is known for his loyalty and reliability, is controlled by Griffin!
It seems that Griffin is well prepared.
Griffin is calculating Charlie, and Charlie is also calculating Griffin.
Griffin relied on the letterhead of the Grand Duke, and it was he who had run Fort William for nearly eight years to control the castle inside and out, and as long as the Grand Duke did not return, he was the uncrowned king of the castle.
Griffin needs to find a suitable reason to move Charlie, framing him for destroying the order of the Botanical Garden will be an opportunity, this eldest young master has been dying, and today's situation is no exception, if he obeys Brian's arrangement and obediently stays in the Orchid Garden, it will be difficult for him to find an opportunity to attack him.
On the other hand, Charlie relies on Master Ron's enthusiasm for the project and the affirmation of his talent, and he needs the archmage to come forward and reshape his image, so he must create a conflict and implicate Master Ron.
Charlie works in the Botanical Garden, one purpose is to get close to the archmage, and the other purpose is to find a way to get rid of Griffin's control over him, and now the opportunity has come, Griffin's trap has come at the right time, and if it succeeds, Charlie will temporarily get rid of the haze hanging over his head.
Charlie reached into his arms with his right hand and took out the deadwood staff, which was Yolanda's equipment and his only current self-protection tool, the deadwood staff's mana pool could hold 110 units of mana, although more than 20 points of mana had been used, the remaining mana was still full of Jordan's staff.
"Griffin, what do you mean by that?" Charlie asked deliberately.
Griffin sneered, "Aren't you very proud!
"You went to the botanical garden and you brought a bunch of servants, a rabble, back to the castle, you called the family knights, what a good calculation!"
"Of course, I'm not that stupid!" said Griffin, sitting on a chair in the courtyard of the inner city, with one leg crossed to reveal his mud-stained boots, "Come, my young master, now kneel in front of me, lick my boots clean, and I'll make you suffer a little less today!"
This guy's gaze was full of a demonic smell, as if abusing the legitimate heirs of the Pavel family could make him feel inexplicably refreshed! In psychology, this is a kind of pathology, and I don't know where the root of this pathology lies.
"Are you crazy, dare you touch me!" Charlie narrowed his eyes.
Griffin raised his hand, and following his fingers, the lights of a side hall lit up, and when he looked out, he could see all sorts of twisted torture instruments and mottled stains on them.
No wonder the whole inner city courtyard was filled with a damp and sweet fishy smell, Charlie finally found the source of this smell, it turned out to be this side hall, the marble floor of the side hall can no longer see the original stone texture and color, covered with an incomplete brown "carpet", one here, one there, very ugly.
An inexplicable anger filled Charlie's chest, this damned slave had turned his mother's castle into such a bloody and sinful place, it was a terrible crime!
"There are many servants who have tasted the taste of these torture instruments, all kinds of people have them, no matter how tough he is, he can't support a whole set of torture instrument processes, even the family knights can't bear its power, among them, the most famous is the seat in the center, it is called the 'Mausoleum of Courage', anyone who can survive on it for five minutes can call himself a warrior, I wonder if the eldest young master can hold on until the time to taste it?" Griffin's voice was soft and feminine, and people couldn't help but get goosebumps when they heard it.
Charlie followed his instructions and saw a complex humanoid chair in the center of the side hall, and just looking at it, he couldn't help but feel a tingling in his spine, it seemed that Griffin was really good at it.
Charlie's face was calm, and he said, "Torture me? You are not afraid that my father will trouble you?"
Griffin laughed, "So, you're naïve! I've got a hundred ways to make you suffer so much that even the brightest priest can't figure out what's wrong."
Now, let me prophesy your life: this year the Great Guild will gradually forget you, for my letters will periodically let him know that you are still stubborn, decadent, and a waste of food, and that he will be disgusted with any news about you;
Next year, the Grand Guild will marry a new Mei Ji and make Mei Ji pregnant with the future heir of the Pavel family;
In three years, the new heir will be sought after by the whole family, and you will be forgotten to rot in the corners of the pimple, as filthy as a bedbug, and live on my snort, as for how you can live?
Master, do you believe this miraculous prophecy?"
Griffin told a lie, Charlie clearly saw the killing intent in his eyes, although he hid it deeply, there was no doubt that he wanted to kill himself, but the means should not be too drastic, so as not to cause his own dying counterattack, and let the plan give birth to some variables, so he must be patient enough to play with his prey like a predator until the prey is exhausted and succumb to fate, at which time, he will show his deadly fangs.
Charlie took out the deadwood staff and said with a smile: "I also have a prophecy, which is exactly the opposite of yours.
Immediately, I'll beat you all over the ground looking for teeth;
The Archmage will rush in and uncover the land you have defiled;
The Grand Duke is furious, deprives you of your stewardship, and thoroughly investigates everything in the castle;
And the master behind you will abandon you and do everything in his power to bury you before you open your mouth;
Eventually, you will be ruined, and all the sins will be borne by you, and your family may even be affected......"
"Shut up!" Griffin suddenly had an ominous premonition, because Charlie in front of him gave people a strange feeling, his mind was very clear, his eyes seemed to see through everything, in the face of a terrifying opponent, he did not lose courage, and his prophecy just poked the fear deep in Griffin's heart.
Suddenly, Griffin's head burst into a bruise, and he said angrily: "Beat him! Control your strength, don't beat people to death!"
"Command!"
One of the knights clenched his hands into fists, slammed them into each other a few times, making a "clang" sound, and then he began to remove the armor parts from his body and threw them to the ground one by one, the clatter of which shook his heart.
A burly man stood in front of Charlie, as strong as a bison, his bare body showing ugly scars.
Charlie said coldly: "Is this the knight of the Pavel family?!Will you be ashamed when you see the Maple Leaf Sword Chapter?!Are you worthy of the resources that the Pavel family has invested in you?!You are now facing the object of your allegiance, the heir of the iron-blooded Grand Duke!"
The burly figure flickered, and his movements were slightly hesitant.
Griffin scolded, "Johnny, you stupid donkey with a brain full of muscles, does someone else's word make you lose your fighting spirit?! Don't forget your woman and son!"
Johnny clenched his fists, his brows tightly twisted together, and his eyes stabbed Charlie with a fierce look.
Before he could react, Charlie was already wielding his staff, a string of familiar spells blurted out, his fingertips pulsing with pale blue magical energy, and in the blink of an eye, a translucent egg-shaped light mask encircled Charlie.
Griffin was dumbfounded, he'd seen magic or something, but why did this happen to this scrap boy?!
Against the magician, Johnny is undoubtedly experienced, after Charlie released the "mana shield", after a brief stunned, Johnny woke up, and his body subconsciously jumped forward and pounced.
The action is so fast!
Charlie finally saw the strength of the world's physical masters, and the arcane missile was too late!
Charlie calculates the time precisely, and his flutter will knock himself down before the flutter strikes, interrupting the spell cast.
In an instant, Charlie transformed, and the spell temporarily changed to "Hand of Fire", a first-order spell with 6 syllables, twice as fast as a 13-word arcane missile.
At the same time, Charlie also felt the benefits of Yolanda's deadwood staff, and the magic power was drawn out, like a giant whale absorbing water, which was extremely smooth, and it felt much better than Jordan's staff.
It's too late, it's too soon.
Charlie swung his right fist, and one arm suddenly burst into flames, and he met it......
"Instant fireball!" Charlie accompanied his attack with a resounding slogan.
Johnny only felt a flash of fire in front of him, and he didn't want to have it, he hugged his arms and closed his fists, protected his face with both hands, and rushed over.
This choice is correct, in the face of the mage's attack, without threatening his life, dodging is the stupidest decision, you must get close! Die at the mage's feet! Otherwise, when he distances himself, it will be the beginning of a nightmare!
In a hurry, Johnny rushed forward dozens of steps, did not hit the target, did not feel the impact of the flames, and secretly screamed in his heart, broken!
Johnny slanted his right leg forward, and the whole person slid on the ground for more than ten meters, stopping the momentum, and when he turned around, he saw a cloud of blue light whistling.
Why so fast?!Johnny had only one question left in his head, and he didn't have time to react.
