"The tail of the eagle's arrow is made of its own feathers. Muhathir said. "Things always contain the seeds of ruin. ”

"Interesting, who said that?" Selim replied.

"A slave named Aesop, but it doesn't matter. The Psychic Warlock said. "Importantly, it gives us a lesson that even the most formidable enemy seems to have an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

"It's all the right nonsense, and if you ask me, I can make up a hundred or so of it. Selim said. "If I had known of any weaknesses in the Mistara army that could be exploited, I would have raised them to the chiefs long ago. ”

"That's because you're not a telemagician, so you can't show their weaknesses. Muhathir said. "We may not be able to outmaneuver the Mistara army in strength, but we can try to break their minds. What's more, they would never have thought that we still have reinforcements. ”

"It sounds like the Witch King's tone. Selim commented. "I have a question that I haven't asked. It's naturally good that you dedicate a new world, a world with water and prey, to the Athas. But what are your plans? When we lay a piece of land here, will you become the new Witch King? Judging by the actions of this army, you may be worse than many Witch Kings. ”

"It's a pointless question. The Psychic shrugged. "If a person can achieve whatever he wants, the world will be unrecognizable. I know a lot of people who try to build a paradise on earth, but it turns out to be hell on earth...... Now we just have to deal with the enemy in front of us. ”

Selim didn't seem impressed by this answer, "Maybe it's not necessary to build a paradise on earth." But do you see what the jihadist armies have done? We have plundered villages and burned cities. The heretical temple was razed to the ground by us, and the people here were slaughtered...... I know that's the way war, and I'm sorry but I have to. But what about the captives? Do you see how Fatumah treats them? Is it the first reason why we are asked to do this to our captives?"

"The first cause did not instruct him to do so," Muhadi admitted, looking at Selim. "And to be honest, I don't appreciate Fatoumah's behavior either. These people could have been transformed by our psychic magicians. ”

"Then go and stop her, and tell her that it's not right to do so. It reminds me of when I was a Templar of the Witch King, and it makes me sick to my stomach. Selim sued al-Muhadi.

"You know I can't do that. Publicly expressing my displeasure with Fatoumah would undermine her authority, and it was already hard for her to rule over so many races and tribes. As a woman, she had to maintain her image with a doubly strong wrist. I can't blame her for doing that, at least not at this time. ”

Many of the innocent captives she ordered to kill were women. I'd like to hear from you, who will defend their position?"

Muhadi paused, "You are bold, Selim. Do you know that when I give an order, someone will happily knock you down?"

"Yes, but that doesn't answer my question, and at best proves that you're a tyrant. Selim shrugged.

"Have you ever heard of the theory of man? A psychiocrat named Nietzsche proposed it. The Psychic Warlock continued to walk as he spoke.

"Well, I think I've heard of it. Selim said.

Muhati gave the former Templar a strange look, "No, you can't have heard of Nietzsche. Because he is...... People from another world. If you say you don't know, I won't think you're ignorant. ”

"Then why did you ask in the first place?" said Selim confidently.

"This ...... Never mind. Muhadi waved. In short, Nietzsche's theory says. A strong man should not only be powerful, but also moral. General moral criteria cannot be used to evaluate such 'people'. For example, in normal times, people would think that it is immoral to die or not to save them, but on the battlefield, a commander may have to make the decision every day to sacrifice some of his people to die. ”

"So that's the kind of person with power?"

"It's not that simple. Muhathir said. "Nietzsche's man is the next evolutionary stage of humanity. Man is to man what man is to animals. It is free, selfish, self-sufficient. Out of the view of good and evil, not to be blamed by conscience. Its moral code is 'I can do it', and there is no such thing as 'I should do it'...... Humans are just a transitional stage between animals and people, a rope. Either walk through this rope and become a man, or fall into the abyss and return to ruin. ”

"Is this your self-justification? Sounds powerful, but I still don't understand it. Selim commented.

"I don't need your understanding, I'm just telling you that I'm not obsessed with tyranny. All the sins that my army unleashed in the world today will be repaid a thousand times more in the future. Muhathir said. "You can choose not to believe what I say and turn around and walk out of this camp. I won't care about you. But if you don't want to do that yet, then we can talk about how to defeat the enemy forces in front of you. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"There's an unexpected Mistara reinforcement that will arrive at short notice. The Psychic Warlock said. "And at that point, I'll sneak into their camp...... Destroy their will. ”

"Are you sure it works?" Selim warned him. "The Mistara also have mages, although there are not many, and they are not enough to control the battle between the armies, but it is no problem to capture one. ”

A piercing eagle roar came from above, and a strange bird-like creature descended from the sky and landed on the outstretched forearm of the psychic warlock. It looks like an eagle with strong wings and sharp claws, and deep vision. What is unusual is that the sculpture has two heads, which at this time fall on al-Muhadi's arm, one looking west and the other east.

"What kind of monster is this?!" Selim said in horror, placing a hand on the handle of the scimitar at his waist.

"It's just a double-headed eagle, which the Starhebin sent the druid Camilla to create, and has specially transformed its living substance, and has a lot of skills. I think she's planning to find a new animal companion for herself. The Psychic Warlock took a bound note from the strange double-headed leg and read it carefully. "Now, I'm 100% sure it's working. ”

"So the mortal is a change corresponding to the demon dragon?"

"It can be understood in this way, but it is much more difficult for a mortal to transform than a demon dragon. "Said Oronis, the former Lizardman executioner, the first mortal Witch-King. His huge compound eyes never blinked, and his four hands spread out to his side, explaining to the Coral Witch. "And unfortunately, it's not as powerful as the Witch King. ”

"But it's still extremely useful. If we can promote this method, then in the face of the Witch King, and ......" Satili paused before continuing. “...... When we were primordial warlocks, our chances of victory would be greater. ”

In the sunlight, the Coral Witch's skin was white and almost transparent, almost as if it was glittering. A reddish golden head was draped freely over her back, and the ritual weapon on her forehead resembled a crown of sapphire and white gold. At this time, she is dressed in white robes and is visiting the remote and mysterious city-state of Kuhn.

It is said that in the distant green age, Kuhn was once a prosperous, but smaller, elven city, nestled in the middle of a forest that had long since vanished. In the Battle of Purification, the elven slayer Albonn razed the city to the ground, and another Rajat's gladiator, the Lizardman Executioner, built his kingdom on the ruins of the old city.

When Rajat was defeated and sealed, the Lizardmen executioner, now the Witch King Oronis, worked tirelessly to build his own city. Over the next decade, Kuhn was completely rebuilt to become the greatest city east of the White Mountains, on the shores of the Salt Sea. Over the next fifty years, it continued to thrive. For the next 500 years, Kuhn spread along the same path as other cities under the rule of the Witch King.

However, Oronis has always been haunted by feelings that some of his companions did not have, and the various atrocious crimes he had committed turned into nightmares that tormented the Witch King. Rajat had promised his disciples that Atas would return to the glory of the Blue Age. However, in the era of the Witch King, Athas was filled with more killing and violence, and the world continued to fall in a spiral track, step by step towards death.

Finally, Oronis could no longer tolerate the world striding towards death. He announced that the city-state of Kuhn had severed its ties with the outside world, and then he renounced the profane spells and the power of the dragon and began to look for the opposite path.

Due to the cut off of business travel, Kuhn was gradually forgotten by the rest of the desert. Oronis was able to carry out his astonishing research without alarming the other witch kings. He began to disassemble and analyze the magic dragon spell, and little by little he reversed the origin of this magic. Eventually, he was able to manifest a metamorphosis that did not squeeze the life force of the world, almost as powerful as the Demon Dragon, and could also bring infinite lifespan and greatly enhanced spell powers.

According to a popular legend in the desert, Oronis named this spell Mortal Transfiguration. Like the Demon Dragon, it has a total of ten stages. Each stage gradually strips the caster of its human form, and returns with great power.

The Witch King lies dormant in his city, waiting for a chance to change the world. Seeing Satilly, he felt that the moment he had been waiting for for so long had finally arrived.

So young, so radiant, she was like a goddess who walked the world in the flesh. At just over twenty years old, she had mastered a powerful magic that she had not been able to obtain for thousands of years, and even the sun had to grovel before her. Her genius is limitless, and her future is bright.

Oronis smiled self-deprecatingly, but there was barely a smile on the exoskeleton's face. After being dormant for so many years, has she been worn out by the years? In a short period of time, Satili defeated three witch kings, why did she prepare for many years but still achieve nothing?

Karak of Tyre, Hamanu of Yurik, Abela Chili of Ram. Thinking of the three Witch Kings defeated by Satili, Oronis remembered the Witch Kings fighting side by side in the Battle of Purification. The world was so simple then, and everyone was like a freshly baked sword, bright and sharp. Karak was always preoccupied, Abellachili - then called Younis - was always smiling, and even Polis could be friendly sometimes.

"Lord Oronis?" said Sartori's voice, bringing the Witch King's mind back to reality.

"I'm too old," said the legendary mage a hundred times older than the Coral Witch. "From time to time, you get lost in the memories of the past, where did we just say?"

"You're introducing me to mortal transformations. Coral Witch said, seemingly unconcerned about the Witch King's distraction.

"Mortal transformation, that's right. Oronis said. "Of course I can teach you the mysteries of this magic, but I don't think it would be of much use. After all, you're already a solar mage. You have outgrown the Guardians and Blasphemers, and no longer need to draw life force from the world, but gain power from the sun. ”

"But there must be something in there that I can learn. ”

The Witch King sighed, "That's right, this will speed up your spell cast, a little bit. It also gives you more low-level spells instantly. Ignore some of the enemy's resistances and immunities. If you don't have any other arrangements, I can teach you today. ”

"Thank you, I really need to improve my strength quickly. ”

"Is it because of the resurrection of the primordial warlock?" the Witch King sighed again. "Can you be sure that the man is really resurrected?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. Sadiri said.

"You've seen with your own eyes a mighty mage defeat Ebupolis, I'm sure of that. But can you be sure that mage is Rajat?" Oronis asked.

"This ...... He called himself Rajat, a war communicator. Coral Witch said with some hesitation.

"Maybe you've never told a lie in your life. The Witch King hesitated for a moment and said. But what many people say is not necessarily the truth. When I was younger, I always liked to claim that I was the savior of mankind, but the last thing I wanted was the savior. ”

"It can't be, no one but Rajat has that kind of power. ”

"Twenty years ago, I didn't expect a young woman to become a sun mage above the Witch King. Oronis shook his head. "The world is unpredictable, I don't think the primordial warlock may be resurrected......" Seeing that Satili wanted to interject, the Witch King raised a hand to interrupt her. "I know what you're going to say...... But the scene of the battle of the Pure Fortress you described made me wonder if this primordial warlock was real. ”

"Why?" the Coral Witch wondered.

"Have you never wondered why all the Witch Kings would betray the Atrosol Warlock at the same time as the battle for purification drew to a close?" Oronis asked, after a long silence.

"I always thought it was because Polis wanted to take his place, didn't it?" said Satili's eyes.

"The War of Purification was a genocide that lasted for fifteen centuries. Olonis, the former lizardman executioner, said. "All of us witch kings are racists of human supremacy, and Rajat has promised us to establish humanity's place in this world through guò slaughter...... But we have been fooled, Rajat himself is not human!"

"What?" exclaimed the Coral Witch.

"He's not human! But through guò magic, he disguises himself as a human. It wasn't until the end that Polis revealed the secret. "Oronis finally told the last secret of the cleansing war. "That's why we agreed to Polis's plan. ”

"If he's not human," Coral Witch tries to digest the astonishing secret. "What the hell is he?"

"A race that calls itself the Perrins, and we know almost nothing about it...... Except for a little. Oronis's four hands spread out in a human-like shrug. "Their soul structure is extremely special, and it is impossible for them to possess other races, otherwise there will be a strong rejection reaction. I remember your old companion, Muhadi, he's a human, right?"

The Coral Witch nodded suspiciously, then spoke. "It doesn't matter if the person I saw that day was a primordial warlock or not...... That power is always real, and we have to take this threat seriously. ”

Oronis nodded. "I'm happy to help, but as you can see. Kuhn is a small city-state, and my army is sparsely numerous. I don't have as many Templars as the other Witch Kings. ”

"I don't want an army, just you. Coral Witch said.

"I'm afraid I'm not as useful as you think, I'm not a combat type compared to other Witch Kings, and I specialize in spells ......," Oronis explained.

"Nope. Sadiri shook her head. "I don't need you to fight the other Witch Kings. I hope you'll join me on one of my adventures. ”

"Ah, adventurer? It's been a long time since I've personally participated in an adventure. Oronis sighed. "Sue me, where are we going, what kind of magic are we going to see?"

"The eighth layer of Bato's Nine Prisons, Ice Hell Kania. Coral Witch said. "There, we can find a far-cubatous creature called the Wise Men. It is said to know the true name of the world's qiēcun zài. ”

"Real name, well, I see the meaning of this adventure. Oronis rested his chin with one hand, one on his lap, his third hand arranging his robes, and his fourth hand unconsciously stroking his magic ring. "So when are we going to be out? The sooner the better, I guess?"

"No, I can't. Sadiri shook her head. "My prophecy spell has been established, and the abode of the wise men is guarded by Mephistophelis, the eighth hell lord of Barto. Only through a portal closely guarded by the Devil Lord can you go to meet with the wise men. It is said that no one other than Mephistopheles himself has been able to pass through the portal and return alive. And not only that, Mephistopheles Phyllis would rather not get a thing himself than allow others to get it. If someone tries to force their way through the portal, he will blow it up. ”

"So we can't force our way in. Oronis clasped his hands around his chest and his other two hands gripping the handles of his chair. "What can you do?"

"We also need to find someone to join the adventuring party, a master of disguise, the kind that can fool the devil. Sadiri said. "We can create chaos elsewhere, trick Mephistopheles out of his fortress, and blend in. ”

"I have a hunch that it wouldn't be so easy, otherwise everyone else would have succeeded. Oronis said. "Is there any other means of defense in Mephistopheles' fortress?"

"It takes three people to move three different traps at the same time for the portal to open. Coral Witch said. "One needs to be opened with a spell, one needs to be opened with psionic energy, and one is the most ingenious lock in the world, and only the best thieves in the world can open it. ”

"That's me, we need at least two more adventure companions. A psyker, a thief?" the Witch King asked.

"It's not that simple. It takes time to open the mechanism, and this is when the Devil Lord's minions will undoubtedly attack the intruder with all their might. Coral Witch explained carefully. "Three people who open the trap can't fight back, so we need strong enough helpers to protect the whole team during this time. ”

"Sounds challenging enough. Let's start looking for people to prepare for this adventure. Oronis nodded in agreement.

"And fast!" said Satili. "We won't be the only ones looking for the wise. At the very least, I know that Ebu's Polis and the Shadow King Nibenai also want to gain the power of their true names. ”

"If you let Polis get it. Coral Witch said softly. "Then it's all over. ”

According to ---------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. Nietzsche, people should conform to seven characteristics.

First, man is the culmination of human biological evolution, the best part of the human species. He stands above the whole of humanity and cannot be confused with mediocre groups, and is a testimony to the inequality of mankind, society, and nations.

Second, man is a genius, the true essence, and he has a great desire for power, and he is the most powerful, the most powerful, the most independent, and the most courageous. Julius Caesar and Napoleon were the prototypes of man.

Thirdly, people try to possess and dominate without any cowardly character. They are above the ideas of good and evil, and are not condemned by their conscience.

Fourthly, people love adventure and take pleasure in it, they choose the strong to fight with, and they look for the most vicious enemies among their best friends.

Fifth, man is a supreme moral ideal; man himself is the embodiment of truth and morality, the creator and possessor of norms and values; they legislate for mankind, their will and speech are the law; and their moral standard is "I can do it", and there is no such thing as "I should do".

Sixth, man is absolutely free, self-sufficient, and selfish. People are the most arrogant. They are proud of themselves, far away from the masses, and by no means fly in groups like birds, but like eagles, they open their teeth and claws, go alone, gallop freely, and have no friends.

Seventh, people are the most able to endure the torment of pain and rise from it. Human beings are free, selfish, and self-sufficient, and they endure the most intense sufferings and have the strongest willpower. Hatred, jealousy, stubbornness, suspicion, harshness, greed, and violence can only make a person stronger.

It is diametrically opposed to the "sage" in ancient Chinese thought.
