On the way to Longyan Fort, Hull sues SΓΉ Link that there is another traitor in Longyan Fort after Thunder.
Thinking that Hull was talking about Claudia, Link told the birdman the truth he had seen with divine knowledge.
Rhodes pretends to take refuge in the elven god Rorian, and his true faith is Malik, the god of shadows.
Thunder wasn't a traitor, he just injured Rhodes and didn't kill him.
Lena seized Thunder and Rod's soul energy to summon the Grim Reaper and transform into a lich.
As for the Golden Rose......
Link was only looking at the three protagonists at the time, completely forgetting about the woman. When the consciousness was about to end, the afterglow of the corner of her eyes swept to her back as she ran away, and she seemed to be stimulated a lot.
"You seem to have some misunderstanding. Hull's voice brought Linka, who was immersed in his own thoughts, back to reality, "I'm not talking about the traitor Claudia. β
"Is there any other traitor besides her Longyan Fort?" Link was a little surprised, it couldn't be the leader of the Dawn Revenge Army, right?
"You know that man, Commander of the Dragoons, Gonzalez. β
Surprised, Link even forgot to whip his wings, but fortunately Hull was quick to catch the peregrine falcon falling from the sky in time.
"How is that possible...... No...... There must be a mistake...... It won't be his ......," Link muttered incoherently.
Although it was the Su brothers who introduced him to the game, it was Gonzalez who really guided him and integrated into this illusory realm. He remembered the pertinent and practical Jianyì, the frank and enthusiastic smile, the habit of patting the shoulder, and the abnormality before the departure.
What exactly happened, Su Wu will be with him, nothing will happen, right?
Link hurriedly asks what happened, and Hull says that he received a letter from the captain of the revenge army stationed at Dragonrock Fort and immediately set off for the Great Rift, and that Gonzalez's defection was also informed by Black.
"The matter was born in Hohenheim, the dragoons and half of the mage regiment were ambushed by the undead, only a very few escaped, and the rest were transformed into undead. According to those who survived, Gonzalez first attacked the mage captain Sue and then sacrificed the entire dragoon regiment to transform into a death knight. Hohenheim has blocked the foggy canyon where the accident occurred, and the news has not been leaked for the time being, and the mercenaries of Longyan Fort are too mixed, and this matter cannot be hidden for too long. β
Link's mind was in turmoil, Gonzalez killed Su Wu, was he crazy, what was the good of becoming an undead, this was just an illusory space, and all the qiΔ was fake. If you are not on the verge of death or have a terminal illness, you will become a fantasy npnetbsp; The words dying and terminally ill reminded Link of what Su Wu said on the phone. Gonzalez is a very self-disciplined person, with a very regular life and rest, and never greedy for play, but recently he has been hanging in the game for a long time, which is very abnormal. Maybe...... He has an incurable terminal illness, and it is normal for him to have the idea of continuing his life in a fantasy world due to the fear of death, and Frost is not an example of this......
If the previous thought was a flash of inspiration, the thought that now filled Link's head made him tremble with excitement.
"I see!!" he cried, "I know what Frost really is!"
Hull made an emergency landing, and he grabbed Link by the shoulders of the humanoid man;
"Frost isn't Lena, it's the priest named Aidan!"
"Who's that?" In order to deal with Frost, the Natural Alliance had investigated Lena, and Hull had never heard of this person.
"The last of them in the Circle Alliance. Yes, that's right, it's him ......" Link's information about Aidan comes from the dwarves Dante and Gonzalez, "because he died before Lena transformed into a lich, and I thought about it but didn't list him as a real suspect." β
Dent said that Lena loved Thunder and would never betray him. But what if the woman God knew was not Lena? If it was Aidan, who was already dead, who took possession of Lena's body, this qiΔ would have been explained.
"Impossible! Not to mention that Lena is a mage who is about to enter the legendary rank, as the chosen person of the goddess of magic, Lorelei, if her body is invaded by other gods, the goddess of magic cannot be unaware. Besides, Aidan is still the priest of Dawn, which is even more impossible!" Hellian said a few impossibilities, rejecting Link's inference, "You are all speculation without evidence. β
"I have proof. β
Hull was stunned, the expression on Link's face didn't look like a lie, where did he get his confidence?
"Rhodes was a follower of the god of the forest, Lorian, when he was killed, right? β
"That's right, Luo Ryan is a second-generation god born from the Glow Elf, and the crystal that used to be called the Great Green Forest is his domain, although he is not a subordinate god of Isol, but he has an excellent relationship with the Pillar of Earth. Before the Great Rift appeared, the perimeter of the Guardian was guarded by his Demon Hunters. Hull confirmed that it was because of the incident decades ago that the Glow Elves were no longer involved in the defense of the Guarded Land.
"I used Divine Awareness to see with my own eyes that Rhodes used shadows to lurk, an ability that only Malik's followers could use. Before the words fell, Link's shoulder was scratched by Hull.
Speaking of Divine Knowledge, why don't the Birdmen whose main talent is Gathos use Divine Sense to find out Frost's identity?Ah~ Lifeweaver! Frost is a player, and NPCs can't know the information of otherworldly people who don't belong to Edgar, unless their fates intersect, and even the Lives Weavers can't use prophecy with each other.
Link couldn't figure out Hull's statement that Frost's fate would intersect with him before, but now he understands it all. Ten years ago, Su Wen wanted to play with him, but the game disc in the mail was secretly hidden by his stepmother, and in the end, Aidan filled his vacancy and became the last person in the Circle Alliance. Even Su Wu, who is his own brother, can't see the fate demon spirit that only Link can touch, and it is because of this relationship!
When it comes to Malik and Know-how, Hull is finally willing to trust Link. The god of shadows' priesthood [conspiracy enchantment] can blind the object of the sinister conspiracy, even the gods can deceive it, but Hel still has a doubt that has not been solved: "Since it was Rod and Aidan who planned a conspiracy to deceive the gods, why did he die in the end?"
Of course, Link had thought about that. Since no player has witnessed the process of summoning the gods, the exact details are unknown. But there was one thing he had been sure of, he needed soul energy. It is not true that only believers under the same god are competitors, and Aidan who possessed Lena could summon the Grim Reaper with a soul from a different faith.
Link believed that soul energy was divine power or something akin to godhead, whether it was obtained from a god of faith or from fallen gods scattered around the world, in short, three or more. The core of this game, 'summoning gods', is actually to allow players to help the gods who cannot interfere with the material world collect soul energy and increase their own abilities.
Of course, that's not something you can say to Hull. As for why Su Wen died, the reason is too simple.
"There are only four soul energies, and it is better for one person to have them than two of them. Maybe Rhodes was kept in the dark from the beginning......" Link counted on his fingers, not counting the last summoned Grim Reaper. The god of shadows, the goddess of magic, the god of the forest, the god of war, and the dawn of the dawn, a total of five gods are involved in this conspiracy. Suppose Aidan and Malik privately agreed to give him Rhodes or another god's share of soul energy, and with the rest of the soul energy, he would be able to complete the summoning.
Thinking that Hull said that the goddess of magic could not be unaware, Link made another assumption. Perhaps, Aidan made a similar deal with the Goddess of Magic, so that the speculation of possession was even more tenable.
"I know why Gonzalez chose the Misty Canyon transformation. Listening to Link's hypothesis, Hull came to the conclusion that it used to be the location of Lena's Mage Tower, and that she was banned from Hohenheim after she transformed into a lich. β
Link clenched his fists, "Frost wants to get rid of the traces of the past so that no one can find his life box with prophecy." The evidence of Thunder, Rod, and Lena is disappearing little by little, and no one remembers them except for those who were related to that incident. β
Hull nodded, agreeing with Link's point. He changed into the form of a giant eagle again: "Let's go, Longyan Fort is still waiting for us to bring them good news." β
At this moment, Longyan Fort, where the betrayer has reappeared, is in desperate need of good news to boost morale.
There is no need to disguise anymore, and he landed on the high battlements of Longyan Fort as a child of nature. In addition to the already known Elwin, Dante, and the other three captains, there were also a few new faces that Link had never seen before. Based on the physical characteristics of the middle-aged man and the pale old man with prosthetic eyes, Link deduced that the one with only one eye was Blake, the commander of the revenge army, and the older old man was General Alex, the commander-in-chief of Longyan Fort.
It seemed that he had become accustomed to such a large array of birdmen, and Link was still a little uncomfortable and seemed very cramped.
Led by Alex, the group entered the vaulted hall, which had been sealed off in advance. Link remembered that Gonzalez had said that it would be used as a makeshift command post in wartime.
The seating arrangement was also deliberately arranged, with Hull and Link sitting in separate chairs, and on the Dragonrock Castle side, the commander's remaining two cronies sat side by side, and Dante sat alone, and the mage leader representing Hohenheim sat separately from the vengeful army leader of the Dawn Sect.
"The matter between the night elves and the orcs ......" Alex paused slightly, his eyes swept towards Link. Although the commander was old, he was the strongest of all the humans present.
Hull didn't speak, only nodded to Link, motioning for him to speak.
Link simplified the process, saving him how he realized that Claudia was a traitor, and jumped directly to the point where the threat of the Great Rift had been completely resolved, closing the portal, and getting the orcs to agree to end their cooperation with the Night Elves, and no longer have the idea of destroying Dragonrock Castle from the underground.
Hearing the orcs swear by the god of war, the commander and regiment commander of Longyan Fort all smiled with satisfaction, this was the best result they could get.
"The fact that the former scout leader is a spy is an internal affair of Longyan Fort, and it is inconvenient for the Natural Alliance to interfere, as a way to help you solve the crisis that the fortress was almost captured, I want to know the details of Gonzalez's rebellion. "It could be seen that Hull was deliberately leaving the whole thing to himself, and Link did what he wanted.
Perhaps the tone was too tough, and the commander was a little displeased, but he only frowned, and he nodded to the mage leader, and the red-robed mage from Hohenheim stood up.
To Link's surprise, the mage, who had always been at odds with the Natural Alliance, bowed politely to him and Hull: "After receiving Kolk's request for additional troops, after some deliberation, everyone unanimously decided to send the most mobile dragoons north. The mage regiment was not in the scope of the deployment, but it was Gonzalez's repeated insistence that I agreed to let half of the members join Captain Sue with him to support the war in the north. β
Lin Ke clearly remembered that Gonzalez said that the commander had sent two regiments, the dragoon and the mage, and since it was the commander who asked the mage commander to explain, he could only prove one thing - Gonzalez lied to him. In addition, Su Wu's rank is only an expert, and he has just been abandoned by the system, so it stands to reason that it is impossible to receive the main line of skipping the master. All indications are that Gonzalez did have a plan for betrayal.
Alex then called in a dragoon with less injuries, Link had met him and met the patrolling dragoons at Mount Horacio, and the young man asked Gonzalez who he was.
He confirmed that the Dragoon Commander had not been quite right since three months ago, always looking at the Kaogo Wastes alone, often wandering during routine training. After receiving the order for reinforcement, he persuaded the mage captain to walk through the Misty Canyon, which was classified as a forbidden area by Hohenheim, and after flying to an abandoned mage tower, Gonzalez ordered the team to stop and recuperate, and then he and Sue entered the ruined tower. At this point, the young man stopped.
"What happened later?" Link realized it was the key.
The soldier looked at the commander and received a nod of instruction before continuing: "Not long after they entered, the tower fell, and we rushed over to find out, but we saw the regimental commander...... Gonzalez stood on the ruins, his spear stained with blood, and the mage captain Sue was nowhere to be found. β
There is no corpse, which does not mean that Su Wu is dead, Link does not give up, and asks what happened next.
"I still can't believe that the regimental commander would do such a thing, he ......" recalled the scene at that time, and the soldier's face instantly turned pale, "the undead, countless undead came out of the ground and surrounded us. We wanted to fight back, we wanted to escape, but a huge skull appeared in the sky, it spit out a black mist, and the person we touched instantly turned into a dried corpse. β
"Where's Gonzalez?" Link stood up excitedly.
He was shrouded in a cloud of red light, and the flesh on his body fell in pieces, and soon turned into a skeleton. β
Skeleton...... Sitting back in his chair, Link's face was not much better than that of a soldier who had experienced the horror of the scene.
"The conversion is complete. Hull finally spoke.
Longyan Fort looked solemn from the commander to the two supernumerary garrison commanders, and two traitors appeared at once, which was simply a repeat of history.
PS: In the last few days, the book review area has been stagnant. I wondered, isn't it more interesting to uncover the foreshadowing that I have planted before than the previous chapters? (@_@)
