Chapter 64: A New Alliance

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Although Asa had already guessed the metaphor of the emblem that appeared on the back of his hand, he decided to ask.

"Your Excellency, this is ......"

"The certificate of the contract. Although you are recruited as a mercenary, I don't plan to use a mercenary group to restrain you, you are still free. You can join any organization or faction at will. ”

Asa breathed for a sigh of relief, he was ready to be asked to exit the Thorn of Shadows this time. Why didn't you expect that the Child of Nature would not only mention it, but also let him remain free, what is this? Putting a Shadow Thorn wanderer by his side, aren't you afraid that he will leak some top-secret information?

Seeing Asa's incomprehension and confusion in his eyes, Link had no intention of explaining, which could not be explained in a few words, especially in the current situation. They could see each other and talk, but there were some things they couldn't say in front of Bridge.

"It's almost time to go back. ”

Doyle bit his lower lip and stared gloisily at what was the new 'companion'.

Uncomfortable being stared at, and just as Asa was about to say something, he once again experienced the intense tugging sensation of teleporting to this strange place.

As a generation born after the invasion of the undead, Asa had never used the portal that had penetrated the Great 6 and did not know that this was the sensation of teleportation.

Since the new Rank Tester was still in the real stage and could not be teleported by talking like teleportation, Bridge, Doyle, and Asa only left the physical space with Link's assistance. Unbeknownst to them, the exact location of what was called the 'Arena' was on top of the impossible ladder.

The surrounding scenery instantly changed back to the union hall, and there were more people here than when they left, all talking about what had just happened, and when they saw the four people who suddenly appeared, the noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's faces were full of curiosity.

In the register of members of the union's special record book, the enchanted paper shows the results of the two testers.

Without God-given power, Doyle's rank was reduced from master to expert. No newly acquired elements were used. In addition, the original combat method relied too much on divine power, if it weren't for the basic swordsmanship to support the scene, I am afraid that the ancient souls would have a lower evaluation of her. On the other hand, Asa, although the weapon was shot down, his rank assessment was the same as Doyle's, which made her very unconvinced, and shouted that he must be recompared with Asa.

Link blocks the irascible Doyle. Let Asa go first, he has his own way to contact.

The wanderer disappeared from the crowd of onlookers, and soon disappeared.

Seeing that someone had really measured the rank, the crowd in the hall asked to try it, and Yoda, who was in charge of reception, was overwhelmed, so he had to turn his eyes to his boss for help.

Bridge leaned in close to Link. I whispered to ask if it could be officially put into use, and the answer I got was no. There are also areas that need to be improved, such as returning to the teleportation place, reinforcing the law of cause and effect, and so on. Frustrated, Bridge can only get Yoda to announce that the tester still needs to be debugged.

The final step of this legendary item was done in the storeroom, and the only way to really use the law of cause and effect was to teleport after the restored rank tester, modeled after the Hall of Mirrors.

Link made a slight modification to the manifestation of the results of the Elder Souls' observed ranks, inscribed runes on the giant high-energy crystal that Bridged had just arrived from the headquarters of the New Capital. The results of the arena test can be displayed at the same time as the register.

This adjustment was proposed by Bridge himself. He believes that a single piece of enchanted paper cannot satisfy people's vanity, especially those who are eager to show their strength and gain recognition.

In order not to conflict with the upcoming Hall of Mirrors meeting, Link asked Bridge to postpone the news of the reactivation of the Rank Tester for a few more days.

As a representative of the Children of Nature, Link attended the second Hall of Mirrors Conference two days later.

Different from the last time, this time the initiator is more influential, and the content of the discussion also determines the fate of the entire Big 6 in the future.

The representative of the dawn is naturally Francesca, the Riser and the Archpriest of the Sun God's earthly substitute.

The representatives of the dwarves are the patriarchs of the eight major clans.

Elves currently have only one tribe, the Wood Elves.

As the only sage, Hohenheim was naturally born out of Bard.

And the human aristocracy. Since the empire has long existed in name only, and the regent has just been overthrown, he has no choice but to involve all the princes.

Orcs and Night Elves were as absent as ever, especially after the collapse of the Natural Alliance, and there was no need for them to participate.

Link was the only neutral camp in the meeting, and the last to show up.

"It's all here. Let's get started with this topic. "Francesca, in the name of the supreme leader of the Dawn cult, asks the tribes to reunite against the impending undead counterattack.

Even if the undead invade the ground where they live, the vast majority of dwarves still follow the attitude that war on the ground has nothing to do with us.

Wood Elves were months ago. It is a front with the children of nature.

The new Duke of Krenberg, who had reverted to his real name, voted in favor of it.

The Duke of Esson, who was deprived of his fief but still enjoyed the title, also chose to join the Anti-Undead League.

There is also the Duke of Befast, as Link's friend, Gonzalez is obligated to side with Link.

The remaining three princes, Corke, who was also the regent, were removed from the list because of Frannie's fall, and the duke, who had been drinking all day, had been stripped of his title and imprisoned in the headquarters of Dawn.

To Link's surprise, Duke Kabyer, who had instigated Duke Esson's generals to mutiny and seize Esson's territory, was willing to join the alliance, and he thought that Duke Kabyer, who had an unclear relationship with the undead, would oppose it.

Duke Aratheius abstained, and his realm was hit by a storm at the beginning of the undead invasion, and due to his friendship with Hohenheim, most of his realm was lifted into the sky by the mages and turned into floating islands. Even if the war broke out, Aratsius would be the last human territory to be breached by the undead, so the duke was not in a hurry about the possible war.

The last remaining was Hohenheim, and all the delegates were waiting for Bard the Sage's decision.

For a long time, Hohenheim was a force to be reckoned with, if not crucial. Subordinate to human beings, yet independent. It is precisely because of Hohenheim's neutral attitude that it indirectly caused the situation in which human beings were suppressed by the undead. If Hohenheim had joined the Anti-Undead League, the outcome of the war might have been rewritten.

Bard didn't vote right away, and the Hall of Mirrors was so quiet that only the sound of nervous breathing remained.

Link was expressionless, but his hand in his sleeve was clenched.

Without the mages of Hohenheim, it would have been an incredibly difficult battle against the undead.

These guys, they can't be repentant, right? Bray promised me to fight the undead, and if they dared to say a word, I immediately asked Bray for an explanation!

As if guessing Link's thoughts, Bard, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"From top to bottom, Hohenheim will abide by the agreement made between Bray and Link, the Child of Nature. "Not many words, just twenty-six words, but the faces of the dwarves and the Duke of Erasius who abstained from voting changed dramatically.

The change of priesthood a few months ago was blocked by Hohenheim, and only the subordinate god Bray was announced to replace Lorelei as the new god of magic. The news that flowed from the cobwebs was that Bray had received the help of the children of nature, who had re-entered the world after forty years, and had succeeded in seizing the throne. What's even more exaggerated is that there are rumors that Bray's canonization of gods forty years ago is also related to this lifeweaver who was summoned by the pillar from the other world.

No one took it seriously, but now it seems to be true. Otherwise, why would the Children of Nature, who had only arrived in Edgar for less than a month, form an alliance with Breda so lightly.

Except for the few who knew the truth, all the attendees, especially those who were not familiar with Link and had only met in the Hall of Mirrors meeting, pondered the authenticity of the event and the meaning behind it. If Bray and Zhu form an alliance, then they will also revisit this time from the dawn of the day.

He pulled his hands out of the sleeves of the wide tuxedo that he had borrowed from Servis for the purpose of attending the conference, and clasped them together to deliberately highlight the ring on his index finger. Not surprisingly, Link heard a few distinct gasps.

"Anyway, sooner or later, you'll know, so I just said it directly. Yes, as the rumors say, not only am I an ally with Malik, but the Shadow God Switch Faction does have something to do with me, even by saying 'I made the decision under my influence'. Link added: "The league is not mandatory, but it ...... If you do not join the alliance, you should not ask the alliance for help if you are persecuted by the undead in the future. ”

The dwarven patriarchs exchanged their opinions in the nearly lost ancient dwarven language, and there were a few heated arguments from time to time, apparently discussing whether or not to join the Anti-Undead League.

Orlando, who had nothing to do, raised his hand to greet Link, his attitude did not change much from that of the Bard, he was a smart man, and since he knew that Link did not like cumbersome etiquette, he would not deliberately use those meaningless things to alienate himself from Link.

Gonzalez had a lot to say, but unfortunately the occasion did not allow it, and he could only try to maintain the attitude of a prince.

After a not-so-short period of time, the dwarves changed their attitudes and agreed to join the anti-undead alliance led by Dawn.

Seeing that he was left with only one abstention, Duke Erasius's eyes flickered, his face was extremely ugly, and in the end he did not change his decision.

Dawn's influence on other species is not as strong as that of humans, and Francesca is still satisfied with such a result. If it weren't for Link's implicit threatening words, the dwarves who hadn't had enough of suffering wouldn't have changed their attitudes. The undead only invade a portion of the underground near the north, and because of the Night Elves' existence, the undead don't go too far into the territory of their former allies. The dwarves have not yet fully faced up to the threat of the undead, stubbornly believing that this is a war on the ground and has nothing to do with them.
