Chapter 13: Lessons

The voice was high and low, ethereal, making it impossible to find the specific location of Sharp, and in the hotel, one figure after another flashed and disappeared, it was Fernando and other magicians who were alarmed by the battle just now.

"Find a way to escape, see you at Lake Lamolage in the Land of a Thousand Lakes!" As soon as Douglas's figure appeared in the corner, Fernando's psychic connection stretched out vigilantly and tacitly, telling him the location of the meeting after the separation.

This is not that he is afraid of the "Blue Gift" Sharp, in the presence of the Nine-Ring Archmage Douglas, he thinks that it is possible to kill the other party after joining forces, after all, Douglas knows how to "stop time" and is the best among the archmages, and he himself will have many high-level strange spells, although they can't compete head-on with the Golden Knight, but they can influence, interfere, weaken, and limit the opponent, making the battle of the same level show a one-sided situation.

However, this is Rentat, under the care of many strong men, a little more movement, will be noticed, besieged, if one of the two in the Nexer Palace or the Radiant Cathedral moves, there is no chance that he and the others will survive - the "Sword of Truth" Wilhelmsson Hoffenberg accepted the invitation of the church and went to the Aalto front, guarding the Nexer Palace is the "Heart of Time" Ketonia, which is a name that makes legendary magicians tremble!

Young, powerful, and energetic, he followed Wilhelmsson Hoffenberg and slain one powerful magician, sea tribe, elf, vampire, devil, and demon after another, paving his way to epic realm with their bones and blood, and later slaying the legendary magician Osiris the Lord of Shadows. The Dark Epic Knight "Faceless", stepping on their heads, is promoted to the second rank of legend, and the prestige is great, and those who hear it are terrified!

One of these battles was less than ten years after his promotion to the rank of Epic Knight, and during a routine hunt, he met Osiris, the former "Governor of the Holm Region" and "Lord of Shadows" of the Magic Empire of Sylvanus.

This is a powerful magician who has lived for at least four thousand years, and he was once so close to the third order of the legend, but unfortunately he has never been able to break through, and he has to leave the "magical holy land" Antiphre. Succeeds the missing "Calamity King" Viken as the "Governor of Holm". After mastering this part of the territory, in the "Dawning War", he was raided by the "Sword of Truth" Hoffenberg and a saint-level cardinal, and suffered heavy losses. Mysteriously missing.

Thereupon. The Storm Strait Territory of the Magic Empire of Hilvannath, the "Big Holm Region", is in a leaderless situation. Several legendary mages with poor qualifications and strength did not obey anyone, let alone unite with the legendary mages of Arthur's Empire, under the separation of the Church of Truth and the noble knights. The fall of one after another has achieved the glory of the "Sword of Truth", making him one of the only nine legendary third-order epic knights at present.

But who knew that after the "Big Holm Region" fell apart and a new generation of noble knights grew up, the "Lord of Shadows" Osiris "lived" back and met the "Heart of Time" Ketonia.

According to them, after the "Heart of Time" destroyed the "Lord of Shadows", they said very high-spiritedly: "You are old, and even your soul and spells are 'rotten'......"

This also solves the doubts of some magicians, normally speaking, mages can suppress knights of the same level, even if they have special bloodlines, at most they are tied or close, I have never heard of an epic knight who can kill a legendary mage in a one-on-one battle, initially, the mages suspected that the "Lord of Shadows" has not fully recovered from the fatal wounds caused by the saint-level cardinal and the "Sword of Truth", and their strength has dropped seriously, and now, they have another strong reason.

Yes, the "Lord of Shadows" Osiris is too old, approaching the limit of his life, his soul has begun to decay, and his spiritual power and magic strength have naturally decreased significantly!

Although this made the mages feel a little better on their pride, they soon had to face up to the problem that not only the "Lord of Shadows" was old, but even the Magic Empire seemed to be old and decaying.

In the past few hundred years of war, one after another young cardinals or epic knights have been "born", among which there are many outstanding people similar to the "heart of time", such as the "ruling angel" Rudolph, such as several cardinals before becoming the pope, and among the three major magic empires, there are very few newly promoted legendary magicians, and there are no "young people" who are four or five hundred years old, revealing an obvious atmosphere of aging and decay.

The rate of promotion is actually similar to that before the Dawn War, but it was peacetime, and the legendary magicians lived long enough that it didn't matter if no one was promoted for a short time, and now, many people liken this situation to the "sunset" in the evening, although there is still a little glory, but after all, it will inevitably disappear and fall into darkness.

Even many veteran magicians lamented: "The old will eventually be replaced by the young, this is an irreversible fate, in front of the young, vibrant, and energetic Church of Truth and nobles, magicians and magic empires are like an old body that has long been decayed, and it will fall down when poked." ”

I don't know why, these thoughts flashed in Douglas's heart, making him feel inexplicably sad, and then, he controlled his mood fluctuations, and planned to use the "shadow" to jump out of Sharp's lock and help other magicians escape.

"Run away yourself, leave them alone!" Old Green suddenly flew up, floating in the air, blocking the falling droplets.

His wooden, sluggish, lifeless, death-green left eye turned dark, as if it were hiding a bottomless pit of death that could absorb all life.

Douglas understood very well the meaning of Old Green's words, other magicians who didn't even have a high level died when they died, and his own nine-ring archmage was the hope for the revival of the Magic Empire, but he still hesitated slightly, and at the same time noticed that the previous confrontation had not attracted the attention of the nearby church.

In mid-air, Sharp's voice came down with the sound of rushing water: "I 'blocked' the neighborhood before I made a move, no one will notice, I have something to say to you." ”

Before he could finish speaking, his figure suddenly appeared in the lobby of the small hotel, walked into the bar by himself, and poured himself a glass of spirits.

Douglas didn't make a move, and glanced at Old Green and Fernando, who was covering the others to leave, and there was a deep surprise in his heart, and at the same time, there was also a faint hope.

Sharp took the initiative to expose this matter, and did not deliberately hide it from the church, did he also have the idea of cooperating with the union? Did he have the approval of the "Sword of Truth" far away in Aalto?

"Remember to pay for the drinks and the repairs to the house. Old Green fell, and returned to his state of decadence.

Fernando stepped into the hall and said to Sharp, who was squinting and drinking, "What words?"

Sharp snorted: "I want to kill someone, and it's inconvenient for me to do it myself, it is said that you magicians will accept such a commission?"

"Who?" Douglas pressed his hand and motioned for Fernando not to be impulsive.

His calm and calm attitude made Fernando pull a face, and he resisted the idea of sarcastic Sharp's timidity, and listened carefully to his answer.

Sharp took another sip of wine and smiled again: "Alfonso, the person I want to kill is Alfonso." ”

Alfonso: There are many people who call this name, but they are mainly concentrated in the countries around the holy city of Reims, and in Rentat, there are only a few answers to this name, and there is only one of them that can make it difficult for Sharp to do it!

"Cardinal Alfonso?" a deep glint twinkled in Old Green's eyes.

Fernando was also taken aback, the deputy head of the "Sword of Truth" Knights, the Golden Knight "Deep Blue Gift", actually commissioned an "evil" mage to assassinate a ninth-level cardinal?

"Yes, he is a man of extreme worship of the Lord, believing that all authority must be vested in the Lord, and that the nobles are also lambs, so we don't get along very well. Sharp looked at the three of them with a smirk.

"Cardinal Alfonso is a ninth-level clergyman, the main assistant of the 'Charismatic Angel' Franz, and the real Holm Parish Inquisition Giant...... Douglas has also done intelligence gathering about Rentart during this time, and the "Charismatic Angel" Franz is one of the two Holy Spirit priests left behind in the Storm Strait territory of the Church of Truth, and he can add a "holy" word before his name to the third-order powerhouse!

Old Green lowered his eyes again: "Alfonso will not leave Rentaert, who can assassinate him under the protection ......of Franz?

The previous raid on the Inquisition caused an uproar, and was personally taken over by the "Heart of Time" Ketonia, if Alfonso was lured out of Rentat by leaking his hidden treasures, it would probably be accompanied by the "Heart of Time"! That is no easier to deal with than the "Angel of Divine Grace" - Ketonia is known as the closest to the third order of epic knights!

Even a proud and short-tempered person like Fernando didn't dare to directly agree to it at this time, this kind of thing may not be possible with the entire trade union.

"Ha Lu Ha. Sharp looked up and laughed twice, as if very cheerfully, and then, he lowered his head and looked at Douglas and Fernando without a smile: "What's wrong? Scared?"

He stood up and said with a downward attitude: "Your strategy is very good to win over the nobles against the church, but you have forgotten that this is a game that only the strong can 'play'!"

"You can't even kill a ninth-level cardinal? What qualifications do you have to play this game of left and right? How many legendary mages do you have? How many powerful people do you have to resist the strength of the church?"

"If you don't have the strength, no matter how much you do, as long as Aalto's legendary magicians are defeated and the church is free, you will still end in destruction, and no nobleman will dare to cooperate with you. ”

He snorted, "Stay away from Hathaway, if Green hadn't mixed up with you, I would have ...... long ago."

After a pause, he walked to the door with his hands behind his back: "A group of rats, don't be delusional about getting involved in the battle between giants!"

Fernando's face flushed, and his eyes seemed to contain a terrifying storm, and if Douglas hadn't secretly suppressed him, he would have erupted. (To be continued......)
