Link reached out and helped Doyle to her feet. didn't say anything, but consciously warned her to stop killing people indiscriminately until she figured out the purpose of the god of war.
Even if the camp had already switched, he didn't want her to stain the blood of innocents for his own sake. What's more, in the arena, the god of war used her body to kill, and both humans and demons have died a lot, and this account, Dawn and Night will not be remembered on her head because she was possessed by Vlajd.
Doyle lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking about, but the murderous aura subsided, and the rest of the room, including Asa, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wengers keeps an eye on Link, and after being expelled from Hohenheim, the family also abandons his worthless outcast, and like the framed Wilfredo, there is no place to contain him except the arena. The recruitment announced by the Linkton Guรฒ Adventurers' Guild gave Wengers a glimmer of hope, a fourth path beyond returning to Hohenheim, years of cultivation, and sacrificing souls to trade with demons, faster and safer than the previous three.
Even that kind of waste wood is fine, and I'm sure I can do it......
Glancing at the shadow thief, Wengers thought confidently. Although I don't know why the threshold for followers of the Child of Nature is set so low, this is indeed a missed opportunity that will be regretted for the rest of his life, and no matter what conditions the Child of Nature offers, he will try to achieve it.
"As a mage, you should know that my relationship with Hohenheim is far from what it seems. "Link doesn't dislike Wengers' low rank, he just doesn't want to bring more people.
The shadow thief Asa is still somewhat useful, and the mage's words are completely dragging his feet. Both he and Vera are proficient in the elements, and there is no need to add more manpower, and even if they do, they must be found elsewhere, not in a big pit. Not to mention...... If he joins, the dwarves and lancers will have to be recruited as well. No, there are too many people. Counting the Neham, who will soon arrive in the Blood Arena, there are seven. Such a group of people are mercenaries and mages, and they are too conspicuous in the caravan.
Hearing the rejection in Link's words, Wengers was stunned at first, and then hid his panic for a moment, "No, I'm no longer the mage of Hohenheim. On a deeper level, it was to show Link that he didn't have to follow Hohenheim's statutes. Also use it to follow the mage's inherent faction.
He made such a reassurance, and Link hesitated again. As a child of nature, you can't naturally have too many chaotic camps around you...... Eh~ etc......
Thinking of the camp, he thought of the god of war who also belonged to the chaotic camp. Although Vlajde has been given godhood, it is a split from the demon dragon Diahmos, even if it does. The night won't allow Vlajde to switch to neutrality like Malik did. The night has a clear dislike for himself, and the god of war will not incur the night's disgust by doing this, or ...... In doing so, is it itself the dictation of the night?
[This time it's just to say hello, let's talk about it next time.] ใ
Frajd's last words upset Link, and there will be another time...... Now that Doyle has chosen to be the medium through which it descends into the material realm, it will definitely be her body next time. Just once, let her demonize, if it were a few more times, wouldn't ...... Perhaps, the next time the seal will be jeopardized. What did Vlajd want to do? It knew the seal of the dawn and the influence of its direct blood relatives on its children, but it still showed up with such fanfare......
Link squinted and stared at Wengers for a long thought.
"Okay. โ
Wengers was overjoyed. Then it was incomprehensible, and this agreed?
"I'm short of manpower, and I'm very lenient on the conditions for joining, I don't care about your purpose, and I don't want to interfere, but there is a little bit of ......" The index finger pointed at Wengers, and Link looked solemn. "It's important to remember that it must not affect my plans. โ
Seeing that Wengers was easily allowed to join, Campano couldn't sit still, he just opened his mouth. Before the words could come out of his throat, Wilfredo, who was beside him, spoke first.
"Even us?"
Link didn't explain it, but everyone present could understand the meaning.
"Aren't you three together?" Link asked rhetorically.
"Of course, the three of us are in this together. Wengers hurriedly pulled Wilfredo's shirt from behind, afraid that he would say the wrong thing.
Glaring at his friend, Wilfredo ignored the pleading look in his eyes, "I have something to say before I join." โ
"Fredo!" Wengers snorted, "Don't make a fuss!!"
He knew what Wilfredo wanted to ask, they were from noble backgrounds, and the two families were technically distant relatives, they had known each other since childhood, and when they became adults, they each went their own way, and finally reunited in this arena soaked in the blood of mercenaries.
"Are you going to end the Silver Empire?"
Link didn't answer right away, he looked at the lancers, and there was a hint of expectation in his blue eyes, in addition to the vicissitudes and sophistication. Unlike mages who seek power and dwarves who want to be free, Wilfredo's mind is the deepest of the three, hidden under unruliness and indifference.
"The empire has decayed, from the inside out, from top to bottom. โ
"So......" took a deep breath as Wilfredo asked, with the doubts he had been holding up since he heard from the merchant, "are you going to destroy the human race?"
"Heh......" Link chuckled, "it turns out that in human cognition, I have become the Great Demon King who destroys the miรจ species. โ
Wengers's face changed, and he was about to persuade his friend, but suddenly realized that Link was talking about 'me' and not 'child of nature', and a thought came to his mind. Nature's Children have been balanced and protected by the world since ancient times, and have never destroyed any species with their own hands. Don't......
"If you want to defend your country so much, I can introduce you to Watchtower. Link added, "The Grand Duke of Befast is my dear friend, both to ensure that you will not be framed again, and to satisfy your desire to go into battle and kill the enemy." โ
It's not hard to guess what Wilfredo really thinks, just think of the blood arena where he is a nobleman but is so downtrodden that he lives and dies. It's nothing more than that he can't get used to seeing other big nobles disregard the lives of the people, and they are bent on expelling the undead, and in the end, they hinder everyone's interests and are fabricated with some false charges, and finally have to hide in the arena.
Wengers swallowed back the persuasion that had reached his mouth, because the joy of successfully joining the mercenary group of the Children of Nature was also diluted.
Unlike himself, who is bent on power, even if he is a mercenary who works for money, Wilfredo still cherishes his childhood dream of recovering the lost land and banishing the undead. This point once made him secretly jealous, without the title, without the family business, he is no longer a knight, why do you still have this thought?
The light in Wilfredo's eyes only lit up for a brief moment before it dimmed again, and he shook his head, "Humans cannot defeat the undead, and we have proven this for forty years, no! โ
Link didn't understand the other party's intentions now, "Then what do you want?"
"I would like to give up my human identity and only join the temple of nature. โ
Everyone was shocked by Wilfredo's words.
In Edgar's past history, there have been druids in humans. With the flourishing of magic, more and more humans turned away from nature, and eventually became the most destructive species to nature.
Link nodded his chin, his eyes wandering.
Although Wilfredo's rank is slightly higher than Wengers's, he has only just touched the threshold of the master rank, if his purpose is only to regain the glory of the past, joining the Overwatch in Befast is the best choice, why should he join the Temple of Nature? This is a complete traitor in the eyes of mankind, especially in recent times, the nobles and I are incompatible, once announced, they will be rejected by humans forever, and they will never be able to regain their status as nobles for the rest of their lives. What's more, the god that the warrior worships is the god of war, Vlajd, and joining the temple of nature means turning his back on the god, and he also has no future as a warrior. Would a child of nature be willing to take in a subordinate who would start over?
"I have become completely disillusioned with the Silver Empire, and most of the nobles only think about their own glory and wealth, and do not think about the future of the clan at all. Wilfredo took the initiative to confess his purpose for joining, "As long as you don't intend to destroy the human race, I am willing to serve for the rest of my life, and I have no two hearts." โ
Do you turn your back on the gods for the sake of your race...... Link sighed that there were more human nobles who were so conscious, so why would they be suppressed by the undead to the current situation. There is a huge difference between joining the temple and joining the mercenary group, and you can't agree to it right away. If he didn't agree now, the god of war wouldn't be able to spare this believer who had already had the idea of betraying. It's really troublesome that I can't refuse myself......
pressed the forehead, Doyle and Vera are demons, and the druid Jafar is a man who doesn't fit in with him, humans are not like magical creatures, they are born with another form. It is estimated that the path of the druid will not be able to walk, plus Wilfredo's original profession is a warrior, and he suddenly becomes a practitioner, I am afraid it will be difficult to improve in the short term, so it is better to still let him do melee combat, Temple Knight?
As soon as the thought came to him, Link had the figure of Neam in his head.
If you can cultivate a paladin like that, it would be a good help. Anyway, the temple can't be full of druids, and it's only a matter of time before humans are absorbed, so I'll start with it.
"You've figured it out, and once you've decided, there's no turning back. โ
Wilfredo walked up to Link and half-knelt on his knees, and from the moment he spoke, there was no turning back.
"Although it is a natural temple, there are four pillars, have you figured out which one you want to choose?"
"I was born as a warrior, and I can't do anything else, the Pillar of Fire is more suitable. โ
Link put his hand over Wilfredo's forehead and said the true name of the Pillar of Fire, begging Kaogo to accept the human believer.
Wilfredo felt a sudden sharp pain in his head, as if he had been burned by fire, and he gritted his teeth and did not move.
To the outsider, a red flame suddenly erupted from Link's palm and wrapped around Wilfredo's head.
At this moment, the usually taciturn dwarf Campano let out an extremely strange laugh.
