Chapter 100: The Mystery Uncovered
Outside the Sigh Canyon, it was the people of the Church of Light who came in the sky.
The first two were dressed in red priest's robes, one of whom was Archbishop Sosis.
The person beside Archbishop Sosis was a young woman with a cold and pretty face, and she had reached the level of a cardinal archbishop at a young age.
Behind the two were three bishops in purple priestly robes and a knight in silver armor, none other than the triumvirate of the Church of Isaac and the head of the Knights of Correction, Totton.
The Church of Light dispatched more than six bishops of clergy at a time, which shows the importance of the Sigh Canyon to the Church of Light.
Sosis obviously knew the emaciated werewolf on the other side, and said with a slight salute: "Elder Wolf, our Church of Light and the Temple had an agreement at the beginning, and the two families worked together to seal the canyon, and the armies of the two clans were stationed on both sides of the canyon, and no one was allowed to enter the canyon. Is the Temple ready to openly tear up the agreement now?"
"Our temple has no intention of tearing up the agreement, but the orcs have been severely suppressed by your human race over the years, and our temple naturally can't completely stay out of it. And your seal has been consumed a lot over the years, we are going to open the seal and go to the canyon to get something, and after taking it, we will strengthen the seal of the canyon again, and what your church is worried about will never happen. ”
Before Sosis could speak, the red-robed woman beside him sneered, "If you want to take something from the canyon, there was no such provision in the agreement between the two clans, right? Even if the Great Light Seal is loosened, reinforcing the seal is also the business of our Light Church, and we don't need the Orc Temple to worry about it for us." ”
The wolf glanced coldly at the red-robed woman, "This must be the new flame saintess of the Church of Light, right?
"Do your temples want to go to war?" the Flame Saint stared at Elder Wolf with a grim gaze.
The Minotaur Elder on the side shouted, "Didn't the knights of your church already join the battle? If you want to fight, you really think that the temple is afraid that your church will not succeed?"
On the one hand, a hot-tempered master, is it strange that this negotiation does not collapse?
The first to strike was the Flame Saintess on the side of the church, and raising her hand to the minotaur was a fire dragon.
The Minotaur also seemed to be rushing to fight, and instantly pulled out a double-edged giant axe from behind, and split the fire dragon head-on with one axe.
As soon as the two of them made a move, Archbishop Sosis and Elder Wolf couldn't talk even if they wanted to, and the two sides joined the battle group one after another.
When the armies of man and beast are once again staging a race war for the land and for the hatred of generations, the religions on both sides have officially started a war around the mysterious Canyon of Sighs, and this war is heading out of control......
......
When the war outside entered the white heat, the sigh canyon suddenly turned around.
When Arthur revealed his identity as a dark mage, the old mage was visibly excited, "Son, tell me, which family are you from?"
"I don't know which family I belong to? My parents were captured by the Church of Light when I was eight years old, when I was just an apprentice in magic, and I have been hiding my identity from the Church for years, and I am also looking for news of my parents. Arthur's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he put Arnold's experience on himself.
"Come here, poor boy, why didn't you tell who you were just now?"
Arthur walked over to the old magician, "I can't trust anyone, I wouldn't dare reveal my identity unless I had to." ”
"You're doing the right thing, remember, no one can be trusted! But we dark magicians are all family, we suffer the same thing, we pass the torch from generation to generation, we snuggle up to each other so that the light of dark magic can never end. By this time the old magician had looked at Arthur with a little more love.
"Can I know your name, did the Church of Light seal you here?" Arthur finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
The old magician's gaze was a little distracted, as if he was caught in a memory, and then said slowly: "If you don't ask, I'll almost forget my name." My name is Louis Field, and they call me Louie the Explorer. ”
"My dream when I was young was to be the most powerful dark magician, to make dark magic and light magic stand apart. But you know, this world is not fair to dark magicians, and the dark magic element has always been suppressed in the light world, which makes it extremely difficult for us dark magicians to cultivate. ”
"But I didn't give up because of this, I found that there are some places on the continent where the dark magic element is extremely active, and if you cultivate in these places, it will be twice as effective with half the effort. Unfortunately, most of these places are too conspicuous or under the attention of the Church to be suitable for the cultivation of dark magic. Later, I hid my identity and joined a mercenary group that mainly explored and hunted, just to find a suitable place to cultivate. ”
"And then you found the Canyon of Sighs, didn't you?" Arthur couldn't help but interject.
"No, there was no canyon at all, it was just a small hill with a slight bulge and a cave that was not deep when we were halfway through the break. I could feel the strong aura of dark magic, and because of my thirst for power, I violated the forbidden spell of dark magic, 'Space Breaking Magic'. ”
"The result?"
The old magician smiled bitterly, "Didn't you already see it, I just wanted to punch through a small hole and release some of the rich dark magic elements, but I didn't expect that the dark magic over there was too violent, and a large number of dark magic elements and light magic elements poured in and squeezed each other, breaking the balance of the magic elements and causing a violent magic explosion." ”
"Does this mean that the Sigh Canyon was blasted out by demons?"
The old magician nodded, "The explosion, and the squeezing of the forces of light and darkness. ”
This completely shocked Arthur, how much power can blow up such a large canyon!
"And how did you survive the explosion?"
"The collision of magic elements does not harm lifeforms, and I am also a blessing in disguise, under the impact of massive dark magic elements, I directly jumped from a mid-level mage to a high-level mage. But my fellow mercenaries could not withstand the impact of dark magic, and their spirits were lost in the darkness forever. ”
Arthur now understands how the weirdos out there came from.
"What about those Yuan Crystals?"
"It was a crystallization formed by chance after the dark magic element and the light magic element collided violently when they encountered a spar-like mineral, I didn't expect that the two magic could be fused and form the purest energy!"
"Isn't the Church of Light just the canyon that doesn't want anyone to get the Yuan Jing Seal?" Arthur asked one last question.
The old magician laughed again, "Of course not, silly boy. The Church of Light is richer than the empire, no matter how valuable Yuan Jing is, they don't take it seriously, and the seal sighs in the canyon because of the hole I opened with the 'Space Breaking Magic', because I don't dare to get close to the source, I can only seal it outside the canyon. The old magician said, gesturing to the back of his chair.
At this moment, all the mysteries were solved, the assassination of Keynes and the mercenary group did not seem to have anything to do with the Canyon of Sighs, he was only attracted by the Yuan Crystal, and the sudden appearance of the church was led by the hole opened by Louie.
The appearance of Canyon of Sighs was more like an accident.
"Master Louis, if you plan to leave, you can leave with us, we have friends who can open the seal outside. Arthur's words this time were very sincere.
"I can't leave here yet, the rich, pure dark magic elements here are the heavens for our dark mages to cultivate. In ten years at most, I will be able to become a level 12 dark archmage, and then the church will tremble before me. Stay, child, I'll take you as my magic apprentice, and pass on all my magic to you. The old magician said with some emotion.
Arthur thought for a moment, "I can stay here with you, but can you let my friends leave, they won't tell me about this here." ”
The old magician's face gradually turned cold, "I warned you just now, don't trust anyone but the dark magician. I don't kill them with my own hands, and letting them gradually lose in the darkness is already the greatest gift. ”
Arthur's face was full of disappointment, but he was helpless, and suddenly asked, "Master Louis, do you know Arnold?"
"Arnold?"
"His full name is Anoral, and he's a dark mage my age. ”
The old magician frowned, but he didn't have any impression of Arno in his head.
"Do you know this thing? It was left behind by Arnold. Arthur pulled it into his arms.
"What is it?" the old magician leaned over to see what was going on.
"It's the ......," Arthur flicked his wrist, and a short knife stabbed into the old magician's heart in a flash.
Even the great mage is helpless against a sudden sneak attack after being close to him. The short knife Qi Gen did not enter, leaving only a wolf's head-shaped hilt, which was the seventh-level short knife "Wolf Kiss Blue" captured during Arthur's Orc Wasteland trip.
The old magician's face was full of astonishment and disbelief, and he never imagined that Arthur, who was also a dark magician, would suddenly attack him.
"I'm sorry, I must not give up on my friends. Arthur also felt a little guilty in his heart, because Louis was not actually evil, and he did not kill the skeleton warriors and soulless monsters outside.
"Unexpectedly, even the dark mage can't believe it!" The expression of remorse, helplessness, and unwillingness intertwined on his face, and he was stabbed into the heart by the seventh-level short knife, and he had already reached the end of his life.
Louis suddenly smiled, "I really miss that explosion twelve years ago, so let's do it again!"
Before dying, Louis reached for his chair and once again performed the "space breaking magic".
"Don't!" Arthur rushed at the old magician.
It was too late, and a raging dark magical element poured in, the entire earth shook, and a huge explosion that had never been seen before occurred......
