Exiting the Hall of Mirrors, Frankie immediately summoned the guards.
"What about Baroness Claudia?"
The soldiers lining up in rows bowed their heads, "Before the meeting ended, she left the palace." โ
Claudia's escape directly confirmed the name of the traitor, and also made Frankie even more desperate.
Damn the child of nature, he really made the meeting public! Even the guards in the palace saw it, and who else in this new capital didn't know about life in the Hall of Mirrors?
"Pass the order, arrest Claudia all the way! I will abolish her title in the name of regent, no need to scruples, life and death!"
Not wanting to stay to face the angry princess, even the guards on duty retreated.
An enraged Frannie paced back and forth in the room.
No wonder she always lobbied me to join the Night, saying that she had seen too many scenes of death and didn't want to stay on the front line anymore, and that it was all a lie!
Unwilling to let years of hard work go to waste, Farney activates the audio-visual installation placed in the palace and asks her mentor Bard for help, only to be flatly refused, as in the meeting.
"You must be thinking, no matter how strong the child of nature is, after all, there are many precepts, and this incident is just an individual case. And they are too few to pose a threat to Hohenheim?"
Franny hung her head, she really thought: "This time, I misestimated Link's mind and eloquence, and I will never take it lightly next time." โ
"And another time?" Bard retorted, "Isn't one time enough for you to remember?"
Although the Child of Nature has been weakened repeatedly over the millennia, it can no longer be compared with its heyday, but this one is different. Link was an unsealed apostle of the Golden Age who possessed the powers of the four pillar gods.
"Do you know why the undead's offensive weakened after the Northern Campaign?"
Frannie shook her head suspiciously, and it was precisely because of this that the nobles who survived continued to live a life of poverty and luxury. Completely ignoring the army of the undead that may be in the city at any time.
"That's because Frost Chill disappeared after winning the Northern Campaign. โ
What? Frost is missing? The Lich King known as the Grim Reaper's henchman? In the material world, there are almost no opponents except for a strong man like the Mentor, if it weren't for the gods, who would have the ability to quietly kill the mighty Lich King?
Frannie couldn't hide her shock, and then she thought. And it was relieved.
Frost is extremely intimidating to its enemies, and the Undead Empire does not want to declare its disappearance or annihilation, and only in this way can it explain the strange behavior of the undead over the past few decades. The remaining two undead lords were too busy fighting for command to take care of the scattered human race.
The Mentor wouldn't bring this up for no reason, could it be that Frost's disappearance had something to do with Link, the Child of Nature?
"Frost and Link are both from the Exiled Lands. It is said that he destroyed the other half of Frost Cold's life box hidden in the Otherworld, and the battered Frost had to go into hiding. "Sheltered by the Conspiracy Enchantment. Bard never appeared as Winnie from Crumenberg as Frost's possessed medium.
For the sake of better disguise, Frost Cold did not completely erase the original soul of the physical body, and under its control, Winnie became a puppet of absolute obedience. Until Frost Frost thought of the half-demon plan, the birth of high-level demons exhausted Winnie's life force, and since Doyle was born, all Winnie she came into contact with was Frost Cold. It wasn't until Malik changed sides that he dismantled many of the conspiracy enchantments that had been maintained by divine powers. Bard realizes that Winnie Doyle, who was banished for trying to summon demons, is Frost.
The recent collective retreat of the undead to the north. It should have something to do with Frost, perhaps in preparation for regaining the power of the ruler of the undead empire. It was for this reason that Bard decided to accept Frankney's invitation to attend the Hall of Mirrors Conference for the first time in forty years.
It is said that Frannie couldn't believe that Bud, who was a sage, would listen to the rumors.
But she didn't dare to ask directly with such questioning words, Hohenheim was the last supporter she could rely on.
As for Frankie's desire to take Link into the Guardian Land, there is no entangled news, and the nobles take back the title of the Doyle family. From the beginning, Bud didn't think she would succeed. Not to mention whether Link can participate, even if the nobles are willing to unite the front to remove them first and then discuss who will be appointed, the Wood Elf King will not agree, and who will be replaced. It's just that he is greedy for the minerals in his territory, but it is better to die, anyway, he has the support of the children of nature.
On the thirtieth day of Nature's entry into the Guardian Land, all the priests and mages felt the world quietly changing. The flow of life has been restored, and the end of the elemental tide also means that Hohenheim will be restored to its former strength. Then, the news came from the webs that shocked everyone in attendance - Link had appeared in Voran, and he had brought with him another child of nature and a large group of druids. Immediately after, there is a surprising switch of camps, Malik, who has been known for his evil since ancient times, actually abandons the night elves from whom he was born, and chooses humans as the main group of faith.
There were too many events in this birth, and Bard guessed the beginning of the matter, but failed to guess the end.
Link not only caught up with the Hall of Mirrors meeting held in advance, but also dealt a fatal blow to Frannie, who was intent on taking advantage of his absence, of the title.
The descendants of Kolk, who have been devastated since losing the Northern Campaign, are not at all comparable to the last of the Doyle family who are willing to risk their lives to fight the frost. In particular, Link also threw out the bombshell that Claudia was the night elf's internal response, and if it was to say anger, the people would be more willing to sprinkle their anger on the cowardly and incompetent royal family.
Since the rebellion of the princes, the royal family has lost control over the nobles in various places, which has directly led the nobles to go their own way, and the chaos of the people fleeing as soon as the undead come.
After all, it was a master-apprentice game, and Bard gave Frannie another piece of advice.
"The abilities of the children of nature are not the most feared thing about them. What really terrified the gods was the observation of the material world by the apostles chosen by the pillars, and that the existence of the child of nature itself was equivalent to the will of the pillar. In the second and third generations of gods, there is no such thing as a rival pillar, and the opinions of the first generations have always been unified on some major rights and wrongs related to the fate and survival of the world. Do you see what I mean?"
Frannie's scalp tingled when she heard this, could she just watch the Children of Nature destroy the empire she had spent ten years rebuilding little by little?
Bard was silent, and the situation it was in was strictly caused by Frannie.
He had asked Finn, who was from the same world, about Link, who was usually an easy-going person. Only when the bottom line is touched will it go against the norm and do something amazing.
In particular, Link's words about 'food' and 'fairness' touched Bard deeply.
He was a relatively moderate conservative who partially agreed with Link's words and actions. The aristocracy is lazy and hardworking, and only knows how to exploit the people, and it is time to reorganize the power of humanity. If this counterattack against the Undead fails. The column may really ruin miรจ humanity.
Bard was convinced that Link's words in the Hall of Mirrors were warnings.
"I'm not going to break up the mentorship, but Hohenheim won't be protecting the Kolker family anymore. โ
Bard's words devastated Frankie, and she immediately felt a lot haggard.
As a sage, Bard wouldn't be as powerful as everyone else, so why rush to dissociate himself?
"This is Bray's instructions. That sentence alone is enough. The mages of Hohenheim would not disobey Bray, who had ascended to the priesthood, and his prestige among the mages was greater than that of Lorelei, who had just been replaced.
"Why? The Empire has always treated Hohenheim as a guest. For thousands of years, countless amounts of money and all kinds of rare materials have been transferred, and they have been discarded so lightly?"
"Originally, I wasn't going to say it, but since you are obsessed, then I will tell you another secret that cannot be disclosed to the public. Bray's canonization was single-handedly brokered by Link. โ
"You mean, the ...... of the Great Sage at the time" Frankie didn't dare to be like Bard. Put the name of the gods on your lips.
Bray stayed on the ladder for a thousand years, and the world only thought that he didn't practice enough. Unable to become a god, but forty years ago, in the first year of the fall of Longyan Castle, he suddenly crossed the last obstacle and became the third generation of gods under the command of the goddess of magic, Lorelei. Some historians believe that this is a turning point in the history and destiny of mankind. Although Bray was not the first mage, his existence has been throughout the history of Hohenheim and the human empire, and as early as the early days of the empire, there was a prophecy about Bray that his death would be a step backwards for the mage and the empire. Sure enough. After Bray became a god, the battles between Longyan Fort and the Northern Empire were lost, the territory of the empire shrank to the smallest in history, and the mage also regressed due to the continuous tide of the elements.
All of them have verified the prophecy of a thousand years ago, although it is impossible to verify who made it, whether it is a coincidence or fate, the prophecy has indeed been fulfilled one by one.
The rest, no longer need to be said by Bard.
Bray helps Link everywhere, and it makes sense.
Frannie's heart was like ashes, and the battle she provoked without gunpowder was completely lost. Not only did she lose her advantages, but her relied on henchmen became a traitor who pushed her into the abyss of public opinion in an instant, and even her last backer abandoned her. Without Hohenheim's support, the nobles who were so easy to win over would no longer take her seriously.
Lannie's face was full of grief and indignation, and Bud felt sorry for her.
The aristocracy has persisted in intermarriage for hundreds of years, so that the elemental guรฒ bloodline can be accumulated, and the royal family's magic talent is far greater than that of commoners, and if she can concentrate on practicing magic, Farani has a chance to become another female sage after Claire. It's a pity that her burden is too heavy, and she has been instilled by Claudia with the idea of reshaping the glory of the empire since she was a child, she cares too much about power and ambition, and it is difficult to become a big thing after all, and she also harms herself.
The audio-visual technique was unilaterally terminated, and the guards in armor ran in to report that Claudia had appeared near the southern city and was preparing to abscond out of the city.
Frannie looked up, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the guards, "Inform the Dawn Sect and ask for their help in capturing Claudia, the spy of the Chaos Camp. โ
