Chapter 225: A Sharp Turn
Xiao Chen had already expected this. Asiros wanted to make an example of him, but his brutal methods seemed to have foreshadowed his end.
When this picture dispersed, Xiao Chen vaguely saw that all the dueling mages watching around him were clamoring, and even the glow of magic began to appear, as if someone had made a move.
By the time the next picture begins, Asiros is standing on top of the White Tower, the city is full of fire, and behind him are dozens of warriors.
Retracting his gaze from outside the tower, Asiros said to the warriors: "These people have been planning this for a long time, those mages have lost my trust, and I trust you, the power of the fighting spirit is effective in any situation, and you will not be resentful because of the origin of the spell." Today I have gathered you together, and from now on you will be called the Inquisition, and all the sins of the mages will be judged by you. Marcelino, you are the only Sage among the many warrior guards of the Tower of Origin, and from this day forward, you are the Holy Inquisitor of the Inquisition. β
"Yes. Lord Assiros, I will obey your command and wipe out those rebels. A middle-aged soldier standing at the front said with a hint of excitement.
"Go ahead, start by putting out the rebels in the city. I'll let those golems help you. β
"Yes!" Marcelino commanded to set off, and dozens of other warriors followed him downstairs.
Carl Roddy said, "Do I need to go with them and see it?" After all, the other party also has a Saint-rank mage. β
Asiros said: "We are waiting here, I am their ultimate goal, and they must come here first to achieve their goal." If they can't even go up to the White Tower, then they are only worthy of being sacrificed by the inquisition. β
Carl Roddy said: "This is all coming too fast, you just duel with Lusato, last month, but in a month, they couldn't bear it anymore and began to rebel. β
"Because they know there's no chance of dragging it out. I'm not going to give them a chance. That's why they can't wait to start acting. But they don't know, I've been waiting for them for a long time. Recent policy changes have slowly forced them down this path. Without that, I don't have a way to actually get rid of those guys. β
By this time, Marcelino had already joined the fray. The sound of slashing outside the White Tower was getting louder and louder.
This image vanished, and another scene showed Assiros in a battlefield in the wilderness, his mage robes in tatters, his surroundings clearly ravaged by magic, with burns and freezes everywhere, and seven or eight dead people around him, all mages wearing robes and holding staffs. There were two warriors with swords in their hands, one of whom was Marcelino, who was standing by Asiros' side, and five or six moving golems were on guard, and Calrodi sat down on the ground with his hands on his belly, and the situation looked bad.
Asiros is working healing magic to repair Carlrodi's wounds.
Calrodi said in a weak voice, "Lord Assiros, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for long. RondoΓ±o's magic is too corrosive for you to bring me back. I have only a few minutes to live. Now that the enemies have been destroyed, you are the only remaining Sage. But I have a question for you. β
"Carl Rodi, you are the only Sage who has followed me to the end, my most important companion, and I don't want you to die like this. Assiros's voice was low and painful.
"I'm just on the same path as Lusato and Londonho. Carl Rodi smiled wryly, and black liquid flowed from the corners of his mouth, which meant that the corruption in his body had reached an irreparable level.
"Just ask any questions you have. β
"Back then...... There are hardly a few mages left who came by boat with them. Don't you really regret it?"
"There is no point in regretting it. For me...... There is only one right path, and now it is very costly, but I am already on it. β
"But after more than two years of war, the magicians are almost dead......"
"Isn't that just a fresh beginning, when I also die, I can bury our stuff completely. β
Carl Rodi's face grew paler and his voice softer, and he finally said, "I only hope for all this...... All sacrifices will not be in vain. In a few years, this time will be as you hoped. Then it's worth dying for me or them......"
The picture slowly faded away, and in the reformed picture, Asiros was already an old man with completely white hair, and this time the person next to him was replaced by the equally old guard Marcelino.
At this time, he was saying this in Xiao Chen's direction: "Luisa, for so many years, I have been quietly watching these things happen, I don't know, what do you think today." β
Outside the painting, it turned out to be a woman's cold voice: "I have been by your side, watching you do these things." You used your authority to keep me in hiding and not interfering with any of your actions.
Assiros, if I still have emotions, I should hate you. Because the Tower of Origin, which was still preserved, has been completely destroyed in your hands, and now you are the last mage of the Tower of Sources except for those warriors. In the years since the other mages died, you have completely severed the magic inheritance on this continent, not only have no new magic apprentices appear, but even the magic script will be lost. This is probably the only one of the Seven Towers that remains. β
"How many years have I been doing this?"
"Sixty years. β
"Sixty years, this is really a lonely sixty years. However, I am about to die, human life is always so limited, and many things cannot be done in one generation, so now I pin my hope on you.
Since a few years ago, I have set out to change the state of your soul to make your soul more resilient and powerful, and I have also added a lot of my new perceptions and memories to it, which I call memory inheritance, including the memories of why we got to this point, the results of my years of research, and most importantly: how to develop a civilization without relying on magic. If you can meet the right person, someone who dreams of seeing the direction of the future, someone who can lead the continent forward, you can give him the authority of the country and this knowledge. β
"Asiros, are you gambling on your luck, expecting someone who doesn't yet exist to inherit your will. Luisa said.
