As he waited to capture Frannie, Link finally turned his attention to Bridge, rubbing the ring on his right index finger, Malik's emblem glowing with an eerie glow.
"President. ”
Bridge's unheaving voice made Bridges sweat and shush.
"You really don't know about it. ”
"Of course!" Bridge nodded hurriedly, indicating that he had no idea, and that he was just unable to refuse Frankie's summons because of the royal family's reputation.
"So are you willing to testify?"
Bridge's eyes rolled, and the audio-visual device was still on, and the high priest born in this treasury could see it in his eyes and listen to it in his heart.
"If you are willing to prove that the living fire was given to you by Frannie, and exchange my forgiveness for a list of nobles who have dealings with the undead, then I can promise that Frannie's rebellion has nothing to do with you and the union. Link's assurances made Bridge's heart very uncertain, and he glanced at the projection refracted by the magic device, the supreme leader of the Dawn Sect did not say anything, in terms of influence in human society, the children of nature, who have been in the limelight recently, are not as good as the high priest.
His mind, Link can't understand it, and he won't pierce it.
There was an awkward silence in the storeroom, and Neam and Alysina stood side by side, as if none of them had anything to do with them.
Yoda's gaze scanned back and forth between Link and Bridge, and he could only be anxious when he couldn't interject.
Belloc was much calmer than he was, but his eyes were fixed on Doyle, whose face was pale.
The live fire was given to Link by Bridge, and he wanted to make a magic weapon for this woman to use, and the fire in the City Lord's Mansion must also be related to her.
The union's intelligence network is limited, and it only investigates that it is necessary to conceal the gender of her daughter and send her to the Dawn Sect in order to one day get her inheritance back. It is never known what happened during the Siege of Kronberg. As a result, the Cult of the West of the City, which supported Doyle's succession, would agree to the removal of the heir by the Children of Nature.
Even after spending a lot of money to inquire about Cobwebs in private, he only found out that Doyle's paternal blood was of a different race, unsuitable for inheriting the title, and had been passed on by the new Duke of Kronberg to the Son of Nature as an adopted daughter.
'Alien' does not refer to mountain people or some specific ethnic minorities, but refers to elements, beasts, and monsters, which have no relationship with humans in terms of appearance or population.
Learned of this piece of inside information that has not yet been released to the public. Bridge's idea of borrowing a live fire from Frannie was just trying to win over ...... No, currying favor with the children of nature who would be of great benefit to the Adventurers' Guild.
Although the Living Fire Demon Flame is not as rare as soul energy and magic spirits, it is also a treasure that is hard to find, and the most troublesome thing is that not only is the forging process complex and difficult, but it is also extremely harsh on the holder, and it is not a material that ordinary people can control.
It's good to pat the horse on the leg......
Bridge was remorseful. But it was too late to say anything, and he could only hope that the Dawn Sect would not hold himself and the union accountable.
Seeing that the high priest did not express his position for a long time, Link took out the two-handed sword that had been put into the dimensional bag after expelling the demon dragon.
The three members of the union immediately realized that this was the living fire that caused the disaster. The blade is thick and clumsy, and the ornate hilt decoration is matched with it, not only does it feel out of place, but it is more and more noble. Especially the two dragons, the eyes are still flashing. I don't know what kind of gemstone is inlaid, just like a cargo. There is spirituality, not a dead thing.
Seeing him hand the sword to himself, Doyle was a little stunned.
You haven't completely collected the Demon Flame. 】
......Doyle thought about it, and changed his weakness to a weak mind, "My heart is not strong enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to control this sword." 】
[Just a low-level element.] Converted to the fifth order of mortals, it is only an expert level, you don't even have this bit of confidence, do you? Take it and show your determination in front of the High Priest. 】
Doyle hesitantly took it, and as soon as the two-handed sword that had been in Link's hand was handed to her, black flames immediately rose. The once-suppressed magic gushed out, and the elemental materials of the entire storeroom automatically floated.
Belloc's face was different, he had lived for more than a hundred years, and he had never seen such a sight.
With the breath from Diamos, it is no longer an ordinary demonic flame sealed by cooling, and Doyle wants to tame it, and it takes a certain amount of energy.
Link stood behind Doyle and put his arm on her shoulder, "I'm right here, let it go, what's going on with me." 】
With Link's assurance, Doyle's concerns were dispelled.
[Concentrate on induction.] 】
Following Link's instructions, Doyle's eyes saw what mortals couldn't see—the two-handed sword in her hand turned into a black flame, which was the prototype of the Demon Flame.
Defeat it with your mental power. 】
But I don't know ......]
You know how to wield this power, but you are accustomed to the gifts of the gods, not your own exercises. Divine power is spiritual power, if you have to have a belief to wield it, from now on, believe in Vlajd, who is also your biological father. Link knew that the Edgars were different from himself, they were accustomed to the existence of the gods, and they also believed that divine power must be given by the gods. In particular, Doyle grew up in a fanatical atmosphere of faith, and it is difficult to change the deep-rooted concepts in a short period of time, so it is better to give her a new spiritual sustenance.
It is normal for a warrior to believe in the god of war, and a daughter to worship her father.
Doyle's eyes flickered, and finally he didn't tell Linker what she thought.
How desperately she knew her background before, how much she hated her bloodline now. Ridiculous, she'd rather be a monster than hear the truth.
There are many gods in the material world, and the royal families of night elves, glow elves, and wood elves are all direct descendants of the second generation of gods in the Golden Age. There are many pure-blooded heirs of the God of War, and she is not a big deal as a half-blood, and I don't know if Frost and Cold used conditions to make such a deal? Vlajde is not only the embodiment of the Ancient Demon Dragon, but also the second-generation god who belongs to Chaos, and the relationship with the Pillar of Fire is closer than that of the Pillar of Earth and Dawn, so it is no wonder that Link would say that Frost and Cold wanted to do it in one step and pollute the remaining two pillars together.
[Attention!Now is not the time for you to get distracted!]
Link's thoughts reminded Doyle, and Vera couldn't help but interject.
[If you can't do it, give me the right to control the body.] 】
This is the threshold I have to cross. Gotta go over and say goodbye. Doyle closed her eyes, blasted by the demonic energy she had resisted, just as she had used the Dawn Divine Power in the past to increase this power to the maximum, successfully suppressing the demonic flames.
Neam clenched his hands as Doyle's power exploded, ready to summon the Lightblade at any moment. Seeing that the Demon Flame was suppressed, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time as Doyle's success, the magic materials floating in the air fell to the ground at the same time, and Bellock hurriedly picked up a magic crystal closest to him, the crystal was cloudy, and the magic power had already been drained. He looked at Link with a bitter face, "Your Excellency, this is a high-energy crystal specially transported from the new capital to make the Zuò alchemy puppet. ”
Link's hand that had just been withdrawn from Doyle's shoulder froze, "What do you mean?"
"The completion deadline is going to be delayed again. ”
It's not just Belloc. Link also looked depressed.
Of course, he sensed that Doyle was absorbing the elements around her, and he had hinted that she had done it, forgetting that they were now in the union treasury, where there were many precious materials.
The demonic flame in Doyle's hand no longer emitted black flames, and it returned to a cooled form, and the scales on the two pairs of dragon eyes and sword blades took on a dark red color.
Having subdued the magic weapon forged by the Demon Flame, Doyle had mixed feelings and was too stylish. Even with a scabbard, it can't hide it, and it will definitely attract pretenders.
Yoda's mind was completely captivated by the uniquely shaped sword. The dragon is a symbol of the god of war, and even the most fanatical believers would not dare to use it as a decoration so blatantly.
"What is this sword called?"
Link glanced sideways at Yoda, thinking to himself that this man was so obsessed with magic props, why didn't he learn how to make a zuò?
"I haven't chosen a name yet. Doyle looked at Link, the sword he had made. It should be named by him.
"Name......" Even if it is made according to the epic weapon of World of Warcraft, it cannot be allowed to follow the original name, in order to ensure that this magic flame will not turn against it in the future, Link took out a wisp of demon spirit from his body and added it to the two-handed sword, and in the middle of the blade appeared the text of the human lingua franca - Doyle.
"Since it's made just for you. It's named after you. ”
The High Priest, who had been silent, sighed, "It's a waste that you actually extracted your own magic spirit to upgrade your magic weapon into a strange thing." ”
Belloc stared at the two-handed sword in Doyle's hand with a complicated expression, and although he couldn't see it, he could feel the unique energy of the elf.
Demon Flame is a good material for forging magic weapons, but the only thing that can be paired with Demon Spirits is Soul Energy.
As a weaver of fate, Link has no shortage of magic spirits, if it weren't for the absorption of soul energy, she estimated that Link might use his soul energy to make a two-handed weapon for Doyle, instead of the magic flame.
Link didn't answer, but just looked at the High Priest through the audio-visual device.
Francesca smiled, knowing that Link had the intention of getting Doyle to subdue the demon flame in front of him, and even gave the precious demon spirit to prove to him his determination to shelter.
"As long as it is confirmed that the Adventurers' Guild does not have anything to do with Frannie, the Dawn Sect will not pursue it. ”
Bridge took a deep breath, and a hanging heart finally fell. Before he could say anything, the Knights of the Dawn, who had been ordered to go to the palace to capture Faranie, returned.
Frannie was dressed in a formal suit, her long black dress accentuated her pale complexion, and her silver length was tied casually with black silk. Compared with the last time, the whole person is like a withered rose, delicate and no longer beautiful, but only a pair of eyes, there is still a god.
"High Priest. The princess took the hem of her skirt and made an impeccable salute to the head of the First Sect, and then she straightened her back, "I wonder why you sent the Knights of the Dawn to break into the palace and plunder me here?"
Francesca no longer had the smile on his face when he spoke to Link, and his face was so tense that even the storeroom, thousands of miles away, could feel the tense atmosphere in the hall.
"Link of Nature's Child has reported to me that you are in collusion with the Abyss. ”
Frannie noticed the audio-visual device placed on the ground and the image projected inside, and her pupils shrank suddenly.
He's a child of nature!
In fact, when Link arrived at the union, Bridge had just finished the call with Frannie, thinking that she had reported that she had lived up to her promise and had convinced the children of nature to accept the gift.
While Frankie was waiting for Vaolet to change, the Knights of Dawn broke into the palace and took her to the Dawn headquarters.
Frannie suspected that Dawn had revealed her collaborator. But she never expected it to be revealed by the children of nature.
"What proof do you have?" Before she officially converted to the night, Frankie was still a believer in Dawn, and she was still a princess of the royal family.
Francesca looked at Link, who once again replayed the memories of Frannie's complete exchange with Diamos.
Frannie's face turned pale, and the aura of the Abyss Archdemon was nowhere to be found. She was momentarily proud, forgetting that the Divine Sense of the Child of Nature was even more powerful than the Great Priest, who claimed to be the strongest prophecy. Biting her lower lip, Frani stared at the video projection.
That damn man is still so calm and relaxed, if it weren't for him, how could I have fallen into such a situation, if it wasn't for him, how could the painstaking management of Qiē come to naught.
"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to defend?" the High Priest looked at the apostate with a cold gaze. Even the most amiable Dawn believers can become fanatics.
"He's the one who drove me to the brink!" Frankie stretched out her hand and pointed directly at Link, her eyes and tone of voice filled with hatred.
"I just fought back properly. The corners of Link's mouth twitched, how could I turn out to be a villain, obviously I am the victim, okay.
"If it weren't for your interference in internal affairs, ruining my business for many years, framing the Kolk line and being abandoned by Hohenheim, how could I have been reduced to a deal with the devil?" Accuse Link of the arrival of ruining her efforts to rebuild the Kolk family's glory.
Is this woman delusional? Even without me, it would be difficult for the royal family to revive in the twilight of the sunset. Link didn't want to go crazy with Flani. Q: What should the High Priest do in a situation like her?
"Holy Light Sacrifice!" Francesca did not answer, but all the Dawn believers in the main hall spoke in unison, and the momentum was so strong that the entire hall resonated.
Frannie laughed, her expression even crazier than before, "You're going to deal with me, the acting regent of the royal family, the princess of Kolk?"
"As soon as the evidence of this collaboration is made public. All the aura on you will cease to exist. Seeing that Frannie's self-esteem was very high, Link rarely scolded her harshly, "All beings are equal, no one is born superior, and what you have is only the shadow of the ancestors." The talent for learning spells comes from centuries of intermarriage, and without this identity, Bard wouldn't have taken you as an apprentice. There are many beautiful women in this world, and there is no princess, how can those nobles who are stammering with you be willing to listen to your commands?"
Accustomed to praise and flattery, Frankie's face turned pale, and no one dared to say it in front of her, even if what Link said was the truth.
"It is not my fault that Hohenheim has terminated the thousand-year-old relationship with the royal family, but that you misassessed the situation and dragged the already decaying royal family into the abyss of ruin. The invasion of the undead was not caused by me, and the decline of the empire was not caused by me, and you will have the appearance of today, let alone mine, don't put all the blame on me. "No matter how good his temper is, Link doesn't want to carry this inexplicable black cauldron.
Francesca sighed and gestured to Lambert, who was standing beside him, and the Knight Master stepped up and grabbed Frankie by the arm and dragged her out.
"What are you doing, let me go, bastard, I'm the princess regent!"
Francesca slowly got up, his hands made a lifting gesture, and a golden scepter appeared in his hand, and divine power poured out, shooting out a thousand rays of light.
"In the name of the High Priest of Dawn, deprive Kolk of his regency qualifications. ”
"No—" Frannie shouted, struggling desperately, but her magic was sealed and she couldn't break free from the Knight Leader. I could only watch as the flag of Kolk fluttering in the square outside the main hall set on fire.
The mutation immediately attracted the attention of the pedestrians outside the Dawn Headquarters, and the sound of discussion came through the high walls.
Frankie's whole body was weak, and this punishment was more painful than killing her directly, and the glory of Colke's line for hundreds of years was completely ruined!
She turned her head sharply and looked at the culprit of the dao zhì qiē very much.
"It's you, it's you! I'll never forget this moment!"
Link shrugged, what else could he say about this madman who likes to impose his mistakes on others.
Unlike the maniacal laughter she had just had, Frannie's deep, barely audible voice kept muttering something.
The High Priest's expression froze, and the scepter, which symbolized the power of the morning sun, stood up, turned into a beam of light and hit Flani, and with a bang, her whole body was on fire. The clothes were intact, but the flesh was burning from the inside out, and this holy fire was the divine punishment of the morning light. The smooth, elastic skin withered in an instant, looking like a charred corpse, and a terrible wail resounded over the new capital, and almost the entire city heard this creepy scream.
Yoda snatched the door out, the sound of vomiting coming through the half-open crack.
Doyle shuddered, this was not the first time she had witnessed the punishment of an apostate, why did Farrani make her fearful?
The sound of "clucking ......" coming out of her throat was no longer human language, and Frankie, whose skin and muscles had been charred, fell on her back, chanting a name in her mouth.
"Diamos...... Diamos ......"
The originally clear sky suddenly turned black, and thick clouds gathered over the new capital, and the knight leader Lambert summoned a blade of light to slash at Frankie's shriveled body, and the body separated, and the flying head was sucked away by a beam of black light falling from the clouds, leaving only a completely charred body on the ground.
The High Priest stared at the rapidly receding black clouds with a stern expression, and for the first time since the Golden Age, the night had directly intervened in the material realm. (To be continued!)
