Chapter 229: Visitation
The heavy hanging door slowly drooped as the guards inside the fortress moved the gears, and Xilan stepped out of the ironclad chariot, and he entered the steel fortress listlessly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This war ended in defeat for Haiger, Silan, and Maran, and no one thought that the orcs would be able to defeat the humans when they were so well prepared.
It's not that that disappointed Xilan, he killed his father, but in the end he didn't get rid of Trevor, who he wanted to kill the most, and now after returning to the Steel Fortress, a deep sense of powerlessness filled his heart.
"General Xilan, you better go and rest first," the guard who followed Xilan said softly.
"Where are the Haigl people?" At this moment, a loud shout sounded from above, as soon as Xi Lan heard his father's name, he couldn't help but look up, and saw a magic array wearing a red robe looking down with cold eyes, Xi Lan recognized him, this person's name was Libdo, one of the seven magic guides of Maran.
No one answered Libdo's question, they were soldiers brought out by Haigl, and it was undoubtedly a shame to tell outsiders about Haigel's death in public, and Haigl was a valiant soldier in front of him, and he should not be so humiliated after his death.
The scene was quiet for a while, and Libudo was still standing there waiting for someone to answer his question, but after a while, he also understood, and snorted coldly: "Arrest all these people"
The incident came very suddenly, and everyone was very puzzled why they were arrested, and Xi Lan couldn't help but say angrily: "Even if this attack on the Deserted Plains fails, we won't need to be imprisoned now!
"Who are you?" asked Melsbiphon, who was beside Libdo, to Silan.
"My name is Xilan, and I am the son of General Haigl," Xilan replied immediately, and he could faintly feel a hint of a general's wind from him.
"Since you are Haigel's child, you should know best where the others are, why didn't you answer Wizard Libdo's question just now," Melsbiefen asked again.
Hearing this question, Libdo's face darkened, this question undoubtedly embarrassed him, and directly made it clear that Xilan deliberately didn't want to pay attention to himself just now, you must know that Libdo is one of the seven magic guides of Maran, and his status in Maran is also very high, not under Haigel at the beginning, but now he is ignored by Haiger's children.
Thinking of this, a basketball-sized fireball appeared out of thin air on the staff in Libudo's hand and blasted towards Xilan, who was very conspicuous in the crowd.
Although this fireball looks ordinary, but it flew out of the hand of Libdo, who specializes in fire-based magic, it means that this fireball has extraordinary power, if it hits Xilan directly, I am afraid that this young man who has no ability will turn into a charcoal in an instant.
Melsbiefen also knew this, and without seeing him make any moves, a silver light flew out of his hand, and hit Libdo's fireball at the right angle, detonating the fireball five meters away from Xilan in advance.
Rao is like this, the rich fire element contained in the fireball also burned this area extremely hot, and the ground appeared black and charred.
"Melsbien?" Libdo glanced at Melsbieffen dissatisfied.
"Wizard Libdo, until I know where Hegel is, I think it's better to keep this child alive," Melsbiefen said lightly, and he always seemed so lazy, as if there was nothing to pretend to him.
"Kill him, you can get Haigl's whereabouts from these soldiers" Libdo's face was cold, and the staff in his hand lit up again, and the fist-sized ruby shone brightly, dispelling a lot of cold air in the steel fortress.
"Personally, I think that if you kill General Haigl's child in front of them, these soldiers will never tell you the truth, why don't you wait until I find Haigl and then dispose of this child to you?" Melsbiefen asked as if negotiating, he was too lazy to do anything, but if Libdo insisted on killing Silan, he would have to stop him again.
Perhaps feeling the resoluteness of Melsbien, Libdo knew that if he was under the protection of the other party, he would never be able to kill Xilan, in order not to waste his efforts, Libdo had to give up, he said coldly: "I hope you don't have a reason to stop me at that time"
"Definitely," Mylesbiefen shrugged.
The soldiers who entered the Steel Fortress were soon controlled by all the people brought by Libdo, including Xilan, all of whom were asking about Haigel's whereabouts, because there was no shadow of Haigl among the 10,000 people who came in this time, which made Libdo and Melsbiefn inexplicably have a bad premonition, plus the three major magicians did not appear in the crowd, Libdo even wondered if the plan of himself and others had been known by Haigel, so he hid in the deserted plain and refused to come out.
Alone in a stone chamber, his hands and feet were shackled to prevent him from escaping, and after an unknown amount of time, the door to the stone chamber was opened from the outside, and Melsbieffen's tall and thin figure walked in, and he took off his hat and saluted him politely.
"Who are you?" asked Xi Lan as he sat on the chair and asked expressionlessly.
"Then I'll introduce myself, my name is Melsbieffen, and I am the guardian of the immortal birds of the Maran royal family" Melsbiefen put an iron kettle full of wine into Xilan's hand, and he himself drank another pot comfortably, and the room fell silent for a while, only the sound of wine swallowing into his throat.
"What are you looking for my father for?" Xilan couldn't help but ask.
"There were many purposes for looking for Haigl before, but now that he is dead, there is no need to say those purposes, do you know why I came to you before Libdo" Melsbieven put down the flask in his hand and looked at Xilan interestingly.
"I don't know," Xilan shook his head.
"No one would have thought that General Haiger, who had been a soldier all his life, would die at the hands of his own son, this thing is really interesting, what did you think at the time" Melsbiefen looked at Xilan curiously, Haigl he had contacted, he was a good general, if it weren't for the royal family's special request that he no longer appear in Maran this time, Melsbiphon would not have taken action against him.
The question "I ......" forcibly reminded Xilan of the scene of that day, after the ruler pierced Haigel's shoulder, Xilan completely forgot what happened next, and when he became conscious again, he was choking his father's throat, and Haiger had been dead for a long time at this time.
Thinking of this picture, Xilan immediately threw away the wine jug in her hand and covered her head in pain, and at the same time, the picture of her life with Haigl from childhood to adulthood came to her mind.
"Father......" Xilan said to himself uncomfortably, who can really be hard-hearted enough to kill his father without feeling guilty and painful, although Xilan hated Haiger, but there is still family affection in his heart.
"I don't remember anything at the time, why my hands were pinching my father's neck" Xilan couldn't help but look at his hands, because he was so guilty that his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Melsbiefen looked at the ashamed young man in front of him lightly, and said: "I once read an ancient book, which says: selfishness, greed, anger, these three emotions have evil powers, if a person maintains a certain mood for too long, then he will be controlled by the corresponding emotional force, did you have these three emotions before killing Haigel?"
"......" Xilan was speechless, he had been immersed in anger during that time, there was anger at not killing Trevor, anger at Haigl's reluctance to send troops to support him, and resentment at confinement, all kinds of things, so that he did not calm down for a moment during that time, listening to Melsbieffen say this, Xilan couldn't help but suddenly realize, he said bitterly: "Yes"
"It seems that what that book says is true, no wonder the first time I saw you, I felt that there was a strange power in you, because this power was not so conspicuous that even Libdo, the Seven Wizards, did not notice it"
"Strength, do I have anything in my body?" Xilan looked at his body, and then at Melsbien, very puzzled.
"Of course you can't feel it yourself" Melsbiefen pointed a finger at Xilan's eyebrows, and countless silver inscriptions instantly lit up on his palm, these inscriptions were extremely weird, not like any words that Xilan had ever seen, as the inscriptions shone brightly, Melsbifen's fingertips slowly entered Xilan's brain, and the miraculous thing was that Xilan didn't feel any pain, just like Myersbifen's fingertips were transparent.
"Ding!" "Ding!" As the fingertips kept going deeper, he finally clicked on a hard piece when he was pointing to the end, and a chirp followed. (To be continued.) )
