Chapter 442: The Fall of the Calby Elves (14)
Eric arrives in Auston City after arranging everything, and he has a relationship with Bishop of the Senate in Echo Valley, especially after he spares no expense to buy him, Bishop treats Eric like his own brother. But this idiot who can't read a few words never thought that Eric would actually kidnap him. Bishop was tortured to death by Eric and then dried for later use.
In fact, as early as the end of the Bounier War, Eric had conspired a plan to frame Andy. He used black magic to invade Jarvis's body, and after losing his legs, he used the ghost hand as a puppet. The Abyss poisoned and burrowed into Jarvis's body and Erik succeeded in breaking Dylan's rule, forcing Achill away and temporarily depriving Andy of Ralph as a partner. He skillfully maneuvered in the Bone Wilderness, causing Andy to find Xia Zuo in vain, and then fell into the siege of the Saxons. Life is like a play, and the emphasis is on acting. Eric interprets the meaning of this sentence at that stage, not only is he trapped in the skin of the "ghost hand", but he is even obsessed with the plot set up by himself, and his true feelings in the dungeon of Greystone Castle make everyone not have any suspicion, except for the green goblin's nose always sneezing inexplicably.
The Buniel man spends his days between Tyron and Andy, and while what little consciousness the Ghost Hand has left is still resisting the ravages of the dark arts, the increasingly urgent situation forces Eric to abandon his original plan. After the Battle of the Flame Canyon, Eric left Tyron alone to escape, he felt that the guardian dragon could seal the invincible Tyranny, and he could naturally ascend to the throne of the leader of the Elven race of Colby, and it would not be difficult to sanction Andy at that time. But at the camp in the Guardian's Lair, the Green Goblin finally sees through Eric's plot, and the fake Jarvis disappears completely.
Fleeing back to the Glen, Eric knew that Taryn liked Selena, and he instructed his men to change Selena's detention location to prevent outsiders from noticing, and then stepped up contact with Tyran's daughter, Vera. This Bunir didn't want to live under the people for a long time, even the alchemist Eugene, who had been living in seclusion in the castle of the Sunshade Forest, was found by him, and after seeing through the alchemist and Verla's plan, Eric actually asked to join the gang, and a trio of people who destroyed Tyran's rule was formed.
But Eric's wishful thinking was wrong, Taryn led Victor back to the valley, he could only continue to frame Andy to win Tyron's trust, he first ran to the Guardian's Den to ambush, successfully captured Duke and others, and then he used Selena's image to force Amos to submit, and the depressed Duke and others were escorted to the valley and imprisoned in the underground library of Jared Hall, where they were harassed by maggots every day.
The Demon Hunter, who had been planted in the Guardian's Den by Eric, delivered the news of Andy's arrival, and he immediately took Bishop's withered corpse to the Austonians stationed in Monroe Swamp. The bewildered Auston people thought that the missing Lord Bishop had appeared, and they immediately sent troops to look for him, but unexpectedly, Andy in the Guardian's Den was a murderer. Not only did Eric play the self-esteemed Auston, but he also made Andy a wanted man. He returned to the Glenn to be re-approved by Tyranny, and was in charge of the preparations for Project Akatsuki, and it was at that time that the Storm Totem Pole was transported to his residence.
When the reckless Andy leads Belil and Xia Zuo into the valley, he is not noticed by Eric. Belil was taken away by the soldiers, and it was not Taryn's wife, Catherine, who she saw at the time, but Amos's daughter, Selena. The stupid soldiers didn't dare to offend Lord Eugene's messenger, so they mistakenly imprisoned Belle in Selena's single room.
"Amos, whom Vera rescued from Jared Hall, is not my father, but a puppet parasitized by Victor's magic, and you have all been deceived by him. Selena affirmed. Everyone was shocked when they heard this seemingly absurd explanation, and no one wanted to admit that they had been deceived, just as everyone didn't want to believe that they could open the brocade box. Atwood looked at the ruins around him and shouted, "Eric...... You crumb, I'm going to eat you. ”
Gavin pointed to the headless corpse in the corner with his left hand and said, "That's Eric, he's been killed by Victor." Atwood was so excited to hear the news that he applauded loudly with his eyebrows raised, his hands waving and babbling in his mouth. Ralph wasn't as idiotic as Atwood, and he walked up to Gavin and cautiously asked, "Why did Eric die at the hands of his accomplices when he was so cunning?" I can't believe there must be a conspiracy here, maybe one of us has already been possessed by Eric's dark magic." ”
"You are talking nonsense! this is impossible, we are innocent......" The crowd around him became agitated and began to ridicule Ralph, all of whom tried to defend themselves by claiming that they were not manipulated puppets. "Shut up, no one wants to listen to your reasoning. "The alliance that had just been formed seemed to collapse in an instant.
Gavin looked at the growing resentment around him and shouted, "Eric was strangled by the Eye of Harris. As soon as the words fell, the people around him closed their mouths, and Duke realized that he had raised his long sword, and his bruised arm seemed to be infected with some kind of evil magic. Gavin knew that he had to clarify something, and he said solemnly: "Eric doesn't know when he got the Eye of Harris, Victor wanted to recover Andy's weapon, but accidentally pulled the necklace around Eric's neck, the Eye of Harris was attracted by the energy of the brocade box, and strangled Eric's neck, that's the way it is, no one will become a puppet of dark magic." ”
"I thought Eric would die at Andy's hands, that magic war that hadn't happened yet ended with a necklace, and the resentment in my heart didn't diminish with Eric's death. Amos looked at the headless corpse and said unwillingly.
Ralph walked over to Eric's corpse, and when he lowered his head, he immediately smelled a pungent stench, and the ghost wolf affirmed, "Gavin is right, Eric is really dead." The crowd around them cheered, but Amos couldn't be happier. He pointed to the dim portal and said, "Now that the passage to the other world has been opened, there is not much time left in the valley, and the Sunshade Forest is about to become the first land on the vast continent to be trampled by the Storm Legion. ”
Duke had never heard of another world, nor did he know how powerful the Storm Legion was in Amos's mouth, he only knew that the valley could not be destroyed, and the old general knew better than anyone else the truth of the cold lips and teeth. Gavin sat down limply on the ground and whispered, "I saw Victor and Tylen disappear under Trist's magical attack, why is this happening?"
