Chapter 45: The Way
The necromancer tried to die and struggle, only to find that his fingertips could no longer condense a trace of magic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info She rushed to the unprecedented sense of nothingness and detachment, most of the souls she devoured came from the elves, and they were all down the river. And the fire of the human soul that was devoured before was also extinguished by the cold river.
The necromancer has not a shred of magic left.
She knelt on the ground with empty eyes: "Since the river of the dead will take away the souls of the dead and extinguish the souls of the living, why do I stay here and be fine?"
Virgi frowned, and said slowly, word by word: "Because you have no soul for a long time." What drives you to act is the original sin called gluttony. And carrying sin is always a curse, not a blessing. It makes you cruel and blind in order to satisfy your appetite for devouring, an Achilles' heel that you can never overcome. ā
The necromancer was silent for a long time, and there was a trace of long-lost elegance and composure on his face, which had been crazy.
"I used to travel around trying to practice magic, just to get the necromancy recognized, to make the Spectro a great group of magicians worthy of the Karenitz Academy and the Arcane Tower. ā
The necromancer shook his head regretfully and smiled, "But then when I met the black witch, I forgot the most important thing. What a magician should pursue above all is endless knowledge and wisdom, and we are Laitara's disciples, not Knox's minions. ā
The necromancer finally squinted his eyes in a calm and tranquil manner, "Thank you for reminding me of this, elemental mage. I'll admit that in this fight, I lost. Karenitz's apprentice is really good. ā
As soon as the words fell, the necromancer's already cold soul sprouted a small spark of warmth again.
This regained soul fire immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke in the cold Jingming River.
Virgie couldn't bear it at all.
In the end, the opponent finally regained the temperature of his soul and transformed from a demon to a living person again.
And the living bathed in the river of the dead, destined to find the light of life she found, leaving only a moment of brilliance.
But Virgil knew that magicians had such a famous saying-
It is not a pity to hear the truth in the morning light and die in the twilight.
To be able to regain the dignity of a magician, even for a short moment, was enough to make this necromancer feel gratified.
The general of the guards patted Viggie on the shoulder: "Boy, you won the bet." In the end, the magic of the Gluttonous Apostle is no match for the unchanging power of nature for thousands of years. ā
General Steelwing looked at his dead compatriots dressed in white with a sigh: "If the battle had not been launched at that time to collect the corpses of his comrades, today's battle would not have been possible. In a sense, it was our dead compatriots who gave us a chance to win. ā
"That's right, this is the dignity that the elves are proud of. ā
The Guards General looked at the twilight and said with a bright smile, "As long as there is a breath left, I will fight to the end." Even if they die on the battlefield, as long as their souls are immortal, the Heroic Spirits will still rely on the mountains and rivers to protect this land. Therefore, our elven race will not be easily defeated, and we who fight to protect our homeland will definitely not lose to anyone!"
Virgi fiddled with the fire and finished the story in a calm and tactful tone, pausing for a sip of coffee, then looked at his friends with a smile and said, "This is what we experienced when you fought in the abyss. After we defeated the Gluttonous Apostle in the City of Rose Cross, the Divine Knights, the leader of the Knights of Light, arrived with a team and helped us fight a few small battles. Before leaving, the princess told her to seek possible assistance to help the Sun Elves regain their land, so the Wargod General and the Divine Knights discussed the matter, and the result of the negotiations was that the Knights of Light would intervene in the war on the condition that the free mission of the area outside of Sorantil would be opened. ā
The princess said in a low voice: "To be honest, I don't think their conditions are too much until now, in fact, after agreeing, my country still has a feeling of making a lot of money." But is that really good?"
Yuri clenched his fists and said with a determined look in his eyes, "Your Highness Princess, do you want your people to live in lies?"
"Among lies?"
Yuri said indignantly: "Sealing Benariss in the territory of the elves has been bringing great disasters for thousands of years, which is already a great betrayal for the elves who participated in the Light Alliance. And from now on, if the Great Sanctuary of Light is erected everywhere in the Forest of Golden Dawn, and the priests explain on the high altar, it is still 'the gods use the blue magnificent barrier to protect the land of the elven country from being invaded by the darkness', the power of education is very strong, and the children will still be grateful to those who have hurt them ten or a hundred years later, and this is the only ...... I can't accept it. ā
The princess listened intently to Yuri's words, and although she had never thought the stupid knight was very clever, she listened very carefully today, nodding her head from time to time.
Virgie also agreed: "The rivers and mountains of the Sun Elves are not as fragile as you think. The Chinese people, who have always shown their weak and elegant faces, also have a toughness that you can't imagine. Your Royal Highness, since darkness may not be able to defeat the laws of nature that the Sun Elves have followed for generations, I don't think it is necessary to turn to the light to win this war. ā
The princess closed her eyes in contemplation, and finally smiled openly.
"Actually, I just need you two to give me a reason to lose my temper. As for me, I've long been very unhappy with those hypocrites in white gold-painted armor and full of benevolence and morality. ā
At this time, the night rain subsided, and the moon and stars in Lang Lang's night sky were scarce.
The princess got up and made up her mind and said, "If you don't accept their assistance, maybe there will be more casualties among the sun elves in the future." But if we let lies become doctrines and let children forget their betrayals and hurts, then what we have lost may never be able to make up. ā
The princess announced to the Sun Elf commanders her decision not to turn to the Order of the Holy Light.
The three generals were shocked at first, but when they learned that the witch in black was Benalis, the oldest witch under Knox, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought nervously.
The princess said, "If the Order of Light wants to help us, they shouldn't ask for anything, because Benalisa was the foreshadowing they planted three thousand years ago, and they should also do their part to clean up the witch." But there is no reason why we should pay the price of hiring people who have hurt us and fix the disaster they have brought on our behalf after we become victims. ā
General Steel Wing played the style of a princess's little fan as usual, and immediately raised his hand and said, "I strongly support Her Royal Highness Princess Flora." Let the Order get out of here, we, the Forest of Golden Dawn, will never welcome them again. ā
The Guards General also said indignantly: "That's right. If the Order preaches in the Golden Dawn Forest in the future, and their teachings deviate from the truth we have, there will inevitably be other conflicts at that time, and there will be endless troubles. ā
The general of the military god, who had not spoken, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Please listen to my rational speech that I think is thoughtful. ā
General Steelwing and General Guards frowned slightly, worried that General Wargod would reject the princess's decision.
The general of the military god said calmly with a hoarse voice with an excessive war cry: "We fought in the canyon and faced the bloody storm of the Skybow Camp and Benalis, but we won. The attack of the princess and the two knights has muted the Moonlight Pulse Cannon, depriving us of a great strategic threat. Later, in the Sauron Valley, we fought the Legion of Inhuman Creatures for the first time, and we were dealt a heavy blow, and it was the darkest of times, and even I, who had been in battle for a long time, thought that we were certain to be defeated. ā
The general groped for the shiny hilt of the sword: "But I didn't expect us to survive, the border fortress has been held long enough, enough for the princess to launch an underground abyss raid and destroy the truth of sin." The war demons fell, and the blind believers attacked. The blind believers are dying in a frenzy, and their souls become nourishment for necromancers. Every day we are losing our land, every day we are tasting defeat, but in the end, we have not fallen. ā
The general of the military god became impassioned: "We have always felt that the enemy is too terrible, and we are struggling with life and death every day. But if we look back at the results we have achieved, we can see the dawn! The pulse cannon has been destroyed, and we don't have to worry about the city being pierced by a single blow. The Seven Apostles have already lost several of them, arrogance, laziness, anger, and gluttony have all fallen, and the War Demon Soldiers have lost their supplies, and it is impossible to reassemble a legion of decent size in a short period of time. In fact, we have already survived the most difficult days, and the situation of Benaliss is not very good. ā
These heart-wrenching words made everyone feel extremely uplifted.
General Steelwing blinked vigorously and said, "That's it, Uncle Elenor, I thought you were going to persuade us to endure our anger for a while, bow our heads and ask the Knights of Light for help!"
The Guards General also narrowed his eyes and smiled beautifully, "That's right, although we have lost our land and sacrificed a lot of people, our terrible resilience has also dragged Benaliss into a very passive situation. Now that things have changed for the better, there is no reason for us to succumb to anyone who wants to conquer us, whether it's the dark forces that come with swords or the Order of Light that comes with holy texts. ā
"But I don't agree!"
Dressed in the light of the stars and moon, it was Prince Auroran.
The princess was a little stunned, and pointed at her brother irritably and said, "Okay, you actually learned to pick locks and escape from prison, it's amazing!"
The general of the military god was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess, it was your subordinates who let the prince regain his freedom. ā
When he negotiated with the Order of Light before, the general of the god of war was interested in letting the prince play to his strengths, so he let him out of house arrest and used his best political and diplomatic skills to negotiate with the gods and knights about sending troops and aid.
