259 Guilty of sin
After listening to Gandalf's words, Duke gritted his teeth and took out a wooden box from behind him, this is the wooden box that Fasqi gave to Duke in the first place, which contained the pearl of the sea that is the treasure of the Sea Clan, and even the source of magic.
After Fasqi declared his allegiance to Duke, this pearl of the ocean naturally became Duke's item. When Duke opened the pearl of the ocean and placed it in front of Gandalf, even with Gandalf's pride, his mouth opened wide and he looked at the pearl of the ocean in front of him with a shocked expression.
"How did you get the Pearl of the Sea?"
There was a tremor in Gandalf's tone, and from the name he called out the Pearl of the Sea, it was obvious that Gandalf knew what this thing was.
"I got it from the Sea Clan, I heard that it is a source of magic power, and now that you have this thing, it should be much easier for you to release the forbidden spell alone. It's a big deal to wait for the Shark Tribe to attack the shore, you can release a forbidden spell!"
Duke gritted his teeth a little when he said this, because Storm Castle has so many family backgrounds, and he has finally accumulated a little strength, and if he suffers heavy casualties because of this war, there will be the same dangerous situation as before.
Therefore, the Storm Army must not be allowed to engage in a war of attrition, and they must also ensure that the autumn harvest goes smoothly and does not suffer any accidents and damage. As autumn passes, winter will face a grim situation, and it can be expected that this winter will be more difficult than ever, if the forbidden spell can be released, even with the sea clan's magic resistance ability, it is estimated that more than half of the casualties will be killed, right?
Hearing that Duke was going to let himself release the forbidden spell, a playful smile appeared on Gandalf's face at this time, looked at Duke and said, "Little one, do you know when the forbidden spell was last released in this world?"
"I don't know. Duke replied very decisively, he didn't pay attention to these things in the first place.
"It's been about two hundred years since the last forbidden spell was cast, and it was used by the Holy See during the war with the Fallen Elves. And the most recent magic war second only to the forbidden spell was decades ago when the president of the Dark Witch Council fought against the Holy See's apostle, do you think that such a huge gathering of magical energy as the forbidden spell can hide from the Holy See's eyes?"
"I can say without exaggeration, today we use the forbidden spell, we don't have to wait until tomorrow, the Holy See's griffin law enforcement team will come to Storm Castle overnight to investigate the reason for the use of the forbidden spell, and then my identity will not be hidden, do you plan to have a head-on war with the Holy See?"
After listening to what Gandalf said, Duke's face became very ugly, he did not expect such a situation at all, how this is the same as the nuclear test monitoring in later generations, which country uses nuclear tests, other countries can detect the source of the earthquake at the first time.
As for fighting the Holy See head-on, this is a joke, if you have this strength, do you still need to rely on Gandalf to use the forbidden spell to fight the Shark Tribe?
"I'll help you use a few high-level spells at most to disrupt the attack of the Shark tribe at a critical moment, and it's up to you whether you can achieve the final victory. Little guy, sometimes if you don't have such a strong strength, don't think about rapid expansion, let alone get something you can't protect, such as this pearl of the ocean. ”
Originally, Duke was just thinking about how to fight against the Shark Tribe, but judging from the meaning of Gandalf's words, it seems that this Pearl of the Ocean is not so simple, could it be that there are other forces that covet this Pearl of the Sea?
"What do you mean by that?" Duke asked directly.
"Since you brought this pearl of the ocean to me to release the forbidden spell, it seems that you also know the function of this pearl of the ocean. Do you think that with such a huge amount of magical energy, other forces would not want to get it?"
"The ocean is a forbidden area for humans, but Storm Castle is not, and the powerful magic fluctuations of the Ocean Pearl are easy for some powerful warriors to feel, and it will be up to you to keep this treasure when the time comes. ”
After saying this, Gandalf continued to emphasize to Duke as if he remembered something: "By the way, it may not be just humans, the gates of hell need a huge amount of magic to maintain, and the fallen elves have even made the idea of the Well of Eternity, do you think if they find out, will they hit your idea?" There is also the dark forest of the orcs, which is said to have evil orcs who exist like the fallen elves, and they also want to open the dark door and let the legions of hell come to this world. ”
Gandalf even had a gloating smile on his face when he said it to the end.
Looking at Gandalf's gloating old face, Duke even felt the urge to punch him in the face. But thinking about the difference in strength between the two sides, Duke could only endure this thought in his heart.
I didn't expect that the husband was not guilty, and this kind of thing would also appear on him, but if it was impossible to get Duke to give up the Pearl of the Sea just because of the potential threat, the more people who made up the idea of this thing, the more precious it is, and he would rather die than starve to death, which is Duke's style of acting. And he had a vague feeling that this Pearl of the Sea would definitely be of great help to Storm Castle in the future, and he had to find a way to stay.
"I understand, isn't there a lot of people who are delusional, but if you want to take the Pearl of the Ocean from Storm Castle, it depends on whether you have the life to take it, and I will decide on this Pearl of the Ocean!"
"Little one, if you have ambition, I like your rampant arrogance. ”
Gandalf replied gloomily, not knowing whether it was a compliment or sarcasm.
"If I don't have this ambition, how dare I challenge the Holy See?" Duke replied with the same disdain, he was working the most difficult thing in this world, and a pearl of the ocean was nothing.
"Very good, since you are so confident, then wait until the Shark Tribe attacks and then come to me, this time I will help you for free. ”
After Gandalf said this, he turned around and left, leaving Duke with a dashing back.
But Duke looked at Gandalf's pretending behavior, and shouted very dissatisfied: "What is it called to help me for free, you are the chief magician of Storm Castle, you eat and drink me, and you also steal the science and technology of Storm Castle, I asked you for money, have you passed, speak with conscience, old fellow!"
Unexpectedly, after Gandalf heard Duke's voice, he really stopped, and replied in an unhappy tone: "Do you think that with my identity and strength as an archmage, I can find a random lord to take up a position, and they just let me eat and drink? Little guy, don't underestimate the value of the archmage too much!"
"I put the Great Magister on my lips every day, do you understand the word low-key?"
"I have this strength, why should I keep a low profile?" Gandalf replied angrily, and then the magical power behind him condensed into a flame visible to the naked eye, Duke saw this scene for fear that Gandalf would give him a big fireball, so he quickly ran away!
