Chapter 21: Darkness
"Necromancy, Death Sigh!"
The skull ring exuded an evil aura, and with a chuckle from Will, the earth ceased to shine with the sun, and darkness covered the glade in an instant.
The entire ground was like a huge quagmire, and countless pairs of ghost hands reached out, trying to bring the living creatures on the ground into the world of the dead.
Such a terrible sight that even the murderous Jack could not help but be terrified.
The man in the middle of the darkness still smiled, and he walked forward step by step, the ghosts around him avoiding the road. At this moment, in Jack's eyes, the sinister and cunning young man just now seemed to have changed his appearance and became unfathomable.
"Rommel, I have an impression of the name. ”
The long-term events that did not belong to his own memories flashed in his mind, and Will vaguely remembered the appearance of the old man.
Rommel propped himself up and said, "Old Duke Federderick was the magical qualification that I asked me to identify for you. ”
Sure enough, Will said secretly. He didn't know much about the Rannylord Empire, but he could easily feel the killing intent of that Romulus VIII. Although Will himself did not know why the other party was so hostile to an illegitimate child, that he wanted to set up a rare reward of being rewarded with a duke's fiefdom.
"Yes, it seems that you haven't been doing very well lately? Little George still can't let go of you old kings after all!"
Chatting like an old acquaintance, it's a little weird to look at it in this scene.
Surprised by Will's identity, Twin Jack tried to escape from this dark area just now, but he couldn't, and there seemed to be an invisible attraction in the air, confined him to a small space.
"Adults should know that for an eloquent emperor, the roaring hound is still just a dog, and the prostrate lion is still a lion. ”
Rommel had no doubt that Will was going to do next, and therefore showed him value.
Will smiled, "If you already know this, why were you forced to do this?"
"Actually, my plans went well until the Lord arrived!" Rommel smiled slyly and saluted Will.
"You want to fake your death to fool little George?" Will asked, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the old man in front of him.
"Your Excellency's wisdom remains the same. Rommel walked up quietly, though he was still weak, but without the decadence he had just had.
"Interesting!"
Both legendary magicians were killed in this conspiracy, but the old man in front of him, Rommel, quietly dissolved the conspiracy as if he were strolling around.
"You already knew that Your Majesty was going to kill you, so you deliberately took the potion I changed!"
The ghost hand on the ground entangled Jack's two bodies, and the space was silent, except for Jack's unwilling voice.
Rommel laughed, he didn't need to explain too much about a dying man. The ghost hand on the ground was still waving, and Rommel knew very well what it was, and he could easily turn it into a puppet if he wanted to, as he did with Twin Jack now.
Although Rommel is a legendary magician, in order to prepare for fake death, he deliberately took a potion that weakens his magic power, and was hit hard by the frost giant. At this moment, he was at the point of weakness, and could no longer fight Will.
Only by convincing Will that he is the most valuable while alive can he hide from it.
"Romulus VIII had pacified the political situation in the north, and the surrounding countries had recognized him as the ruler of Ranilrod. Before the death of the old Duke Federderick, he gave the name of the Garfield family to His Excellency. In other words, you are already the new and only Duke of Badr!"
"It's just a name, and it's worthless!" Will said nonchalantly.
"It's just a name, indeed. But for Romulus VIII, if you don't die, you are still de jure the master of the most fertile land north of Ranelod, with four dukedoms, eleven marquises, and thirty-seven counts. ”
It turns out that my brother is so rich! Will was stunned for a moment!
"A vassal of a vassal is not my vassal. Not to mention the old Badr tribe who escaped, even within the empire, there are many people who are inextricably linked to the Garfield family. Romulus VIII could not have killed them all, but he did try to weaken the Garfield family's influence, and he succeeded. However, as long as you are alive, you are a great threat to his rule. ”
"Your Majesty is really worried, and I never wanted to compete with him for that inheritance. ”
"In any case, one day, you will still go to the opposite side of Romulus VIII. Or rather, one day, Romulus VIII will force you to go against him. So, I can help you!"
"Why are you so sure?"
"A high-level magician under the age of twenty, this alone is enough!"
When the darkness receded like a tide, there were only two imprisoned puppets left in the glade of the forest.
The anomaly is soon discovered, and Will leads Rommel into the depths of the jungle.
As Will's figure disappeared into the depths of the jungle, the two puppets turned into black ink, like mud into a deep pool, completely submerged into the darkness, and disappeared into the land.
"I, Rommel Eubarton, have made a vow that until the end of this life, I will serve the man before me as Lord!"
As the oath fell, golden patterns shone around Rommel in the forest. The ancient and obscure words were like spirits flying in the air, and finally disappeared into Rommel's forehead one by one.
The oldest form of contract magic, once the person violates it, has terrible consequences. It was the same for both Rommel and Will.
The frost giant in the distance finally collapsed from exhaustion under Umir's exhaustion, setting off a great wave of qi.
Will had to admire Umil's patience. It's not easy to kill a frost giant, but it's obviously even more difficult to get tired of a frost giant.
No Stigmata mage would deal with a frost giant like Umir. After all, consuming a frost giant is a great danger in itself.
The fog filled the deep forest, and after the battle, there was silence all around.
"My lord, what are we going to do next?"
"Twin Jack didn't bring back your head, and Little George's next wave of killers will definitely come back. Until then, get rid of all traces!"
