It was clear by this point that Rob knew Copernicus's energy and communicative skills in the North, so he came to him to help gather men, but he was not stupid enough to trust the other party completely, so out of the Misty Forest, he went to find Abbott again

The latter concentrates on the study of magic guides, but he belongs to the commander of the light pole, he has lived in the north for so many years and has no friendship with anyone, and it is a chance encounter, Copernicus is not very wary of him, and naturally he can't imagine that Abbott will be Rob's deliberate stay by his side to restrain him.

As a result, Copernicus dug the trap with confidence, and before he could try the depth of the other party, he was the first to be hit.

His reaction was quick, but when he looked back, he found that all the people he had brought with him had fallen down, and Copernicus knew that he had no chance of winning.

Then he saw Rob walking towards him, and he spoke.

"Senior, you lost. ”

"So what, you didn't win either. Although Copernicus admitted defeat, his expression was still proud, and he did not live up to his stubborn resistance, he threw down the staff in his hand, and said coldly, "The White Crow City has been slaughtered, and the manpower of the Wind Breath Castle will not last long, not to mention anything else, the six-headed Abyss Lord is not something they can deal with, maybe just as we speak, those monsters have already defeated the defenders and rushed into the city, the north...... It's over. ”

Lolo did not understand where Copernicus's hostility to the land came from, since the first time she and Rob visited each other, the old man was very indifferent to life and the lives of civilians, Copernicus had been a member of the council, and it was reasonable that he should not be so cold-blooded.

Rob looked into Copernicus's eyes, "I have seen the case file of the year, and there is no problem with the general direction of the research of the predecessors, although it is only a half-finished product, but it is only the initial experimental results that have saved the people of the two villages, and the people who reported you for conducting human experiments in private were the people of those two villages." ”

The old man snorted coldly, "You know a lot of things, and there is never a shortage of ungrateful people in this world. ”

Luo Luo finally understood why Copernicus was so indifferent, it turned out that there was such a story in that incident back then, Copernicus studied the Black Death, of course, it was interested, but at the beginning there was no idea of wanting to save people, there are many idealists among the magicians, more or less have the ambition to change the world with magic, not to mention that he was still a member of the council at that time, and of course he wanted to do something when the Black Death was raging.

Human experiments, which are strictly forbidden by the Wizards' Guild, are the fastest and most effective means of research.

However, unlike the evil magicians, the subjects Copernicus sought were all voluntary, basically desperate Black Death patients, their families were too poor to afford the high cost of asking a bishopric to help, Copernicus would tell them the risks of research in advance, and was willing to pay a large amount of burial expenses in the event of an accident, and if they agreed to the above conditions, the two parties could sign a contract.

As a test subject, I naturally don't want to let go of any hope of survival, not to mention that even if I die on the test bench, I can still leave a pension for my family, and the family of the person who will come here to volunteer to be the test will not be in a good situation, so this condition is still quite attractive.

That's what you want to do, so it's been quiet for more than a year since Copernicus began human trials.

Even his closest friends, students, didn't know that he was still doing such taboo research in private, and it wasn't until he was about to finish the first phase of his research that he was approached by the Wizards' Guild.

Copernicus secretly concealed the fact that other people were conducting human experiments, right and wrong are difficult to define, if it was accidentally broken, then Copernicus had nothing to say, since he dared to do this kind of thing, of course, he had already had the corresponding consciousness, but he was denounced by the person he had saved, and the result was a bit cruel.

During the years that Copernicus was exiled to the North, his personality and temper changed greatly, and it had a lot to do with the events of that year.

Roberb said," There is one thing, seniors, I am afraid you don't know, the person who denounced you committed suicide six years ago, he left a suicide note, admitting that the things of the year were instructed by someone, I don't know if you still have an impression, you went to the south to study when you were young, and beat a noble son brother in the academy, the latter has always held a grudge against you, after you became a director, he was very worried that you would wait for revenge, so he has been desperately collecting your black history for those years, he heard that you are recruiting the Black Death, so he did an investigation in those two villages, and then there is a later matter, if you don't believe it, you can ask someone to go to the association to check the relevant files。 ”

Copernicus was silent when he heard this, although he didn't speak, but he actually had the answer in his heart, Copernicus had not met Rob before, and the latter's knowledge of him was limited to the information in the Magician Association, in this case, it was impossible to falsify the details of his grudge with people when he was studying, so there was only one explanation, that is, what Rob said now is the truth.

But subconsciously, Copernicus was a little resistant to this answer, although such a truth sounded more reasonable and explained the doubts he had always had in his heart, but if the events of the year were really just simple grudges against enemies, then wouldn't the resentment and resentment accumulated in his heart over the years be meaningless?

After a long time, the old man raised his head again and said indifferently, "Do you think that if I tell me this, I will help you?"

Rob shook his head, "I just hope you'll reconsider our previous agreement, because the deal between you and the church has fallen through. ”

"It's late. Copernicus said coldly, "Even if I want to now, it's too late, I got the news before, this time there are two Abyss Lords to attack, and there is no master in Wind Breath Castle, and it can't last for half a day." ”

"Half a day...... It's still going to survive. Abbot, who had been standing aside and watching the scenery without disturbing the three of them, suddenly interjected, "There's a floating battery in that place." ”

Copernicus was stunned, "What floating battery, didn't the Magicians Guild withdraw?"

Abbott pointed to his nose and grinned, "Floating Battery, mine." ”

"You still have a floating battery?!" Copernicus was really shocked this time, the floating battery is a national strategic weapon jointly created by many magicians, the cost is expensive, I haven't heard of it being privately held, even if Abbott really has the ability to make it alone, he definitely doesn't have this capital.

As if knowing what Copernicus was thinking, Abbott scratched his head and said, " Strictly speaking, I just repaired that thing, that floating turret is an old antique served in the Second Magic War, it was destroyed and fell into a valley, I found it more than ten years ago, and I repaired it by the way when my hands itched, but I can't find any suitable materials like me, so I can only disassemble half and make up half, although it can be started now, but the speed is only one-third of the original, and there are only ten turrets and twelve magic bullets that can be used, which can only be used to scare people. ”
