After a long time, the underground palace slowly returned to its original dimness, and Daphne slowly let go of the hand holding Tedain, and Tedain slowly walked away a few steps, as if nothing had happened just now.

Burry rubbed his eyes, slowly regaining his vision, he squinted his eyes towards the center of the explosion just now, and they were shocked by the scene in front of them:

At the center of the explosion was a half-meter-deep earth pit, and the hard, flat ground was changed by Ryan's magic, and spread outward with the power of the magic explosion. In the gargoyle phalanx not far away, at least hundreds of gargoyles were affected by the explosion and turned into ashes, and the originally neat phalanx obviously appeared in an arc-shaped gap.

A young man in a magic robe stood quietly aside, silently watching everything in front of him, Burry cleared his throat and asked loudly, "Magician Lane, where is that mysterious man?"

Ryan turned his head, there was a faint look of surprise on his face, but Burry and the others didn't notice it, he pointed to the half-meter-deep dirt pit and said to Burry: "The black armor he wears is here, and it has been blown to pieces." But I didn't find anyone with him. ”

"Of course you won't find anything. An old voice sounded behind Ryan, who immediately turned around and was on full guard.

The black armor that had been blown to pieces in the pit slowly emitted green smoke, and the smoke slowly converged in the air, gradually forming a human figure, and soon, an old man's image appeared in front of the members of the six arrows mercenary group.

"Don't you ......," Ryan asked.

"Yes. The old man nodded, and although he tried to control his tone to make it more flat, the majesty contained in that tone was inevitably revealed.

"Can you tell me now?" Ryan asked.

"Of course," the old man nodded slowly, "You are the first to defeat me, young little magician, and I will naturally tell you everything." ”

"That was a long, long time ago. The image of the old man slowly walked up to the high platform, sat on the throne, and gently waved his hands to tell his story to Ryan, who was standing under the high platform:

"I am the king of Alexander's Third Reich, and my name is Andrew. On my 12th birthday, when my father was killed in battle and the empire was about to fall apart, I put on my black armor for the first time and led the loyal royal guards to the battlefield. ”

"Thirteen years later, when I was 25 years old, I finally put down the rebellion, and when the man who had killed my father was brought before me by the guards, I issued a draconian decree to exterminate all the rebels, and the blood stained the whole Jegnas River. ”

"After 10 years of development, my empire has fully recovered. That year, I was 35 years old. On my birthday, I issued a national mobilization order in the presence of all the ministers of the empire, and began a war of foreign conquest, which soon spread to the south of the continent. ”

"Twenty-seven years later, when I was 62 years old, my kingdom was three times larger than it was when my father ruled, and the kings of nine principalities, in addition to the territories I ruled directly, declared their allegiance to me and became my subjects. Aside from the steppes of the north, those damned orcs, and the boundless silent forests of the south, my empire can be said to span the entire continent. ”

"In this way, I gathered the skilled craftsmen of the whole continent to serve me, built a huge palace for pleasure, and secretly built a mausoleum here. More than a decade later, on my 80th birthday, one of my ministers celebrated my birthday with a portrait of a woman. ”

Speaking of this, the tone of the old man, who called himself Andrew, the king of Alexander's Third Reich, suddenly became a little softer, which was completely different from his previous majestic tone: "This is a portrait of a magician in Mochizuki City, I have at least more than 1,000 women in my life, but the portrait of that young magician touched me deeply, and I issued a decree that shocked my ministers, I will marry this woman and make her my queen." My first son and I will inherit my empire! I will train him to be a powerful magician, for only a wise magician can govern my vast empire. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity. King Alexander-Andrew's tone suddenly took on an inexhaustible murderous tone: "This damned woman, who dared to disobey me, actually knocked out her maid on the eve of her wedding, and fled my palace disguised as this maid. No one has ever been able to disobey my commands, never!"

King Alexander-Andrew roared and shouted, "I have given a cruel order, and my closest generals have set out with 20,000 knights loyal to me, who have destroyed three nations for me and slaughtered more than a million of my enemies. This time, they will bring the woman back to me, and if the woman disobeys my orders again, bring her body back. ”

At this, King Alexander-Andrew suddenly fell silent.

Ryan couldn't help but ask him, "What happened later?"

"Later?" said King Alexander-Andrew with a hint of incomprehension, "there was no news, my mighty knights soon lost any news, they disappeared, I sent more troops to look for them, there was no trace, and just like that, the magicess and my knights were gone, and since then, no one has seen them again, and there has been no news of them." ”

"The authority of the empire cannot be challenged!" said King Alexander-Andrew, in a tone that grew lighter, but his words were chilling: "I have arrested everyone associated with the sorceress, including her family, and the entire family of the minister who presented the portrait. The dignity of a king can only be defended by blood!"

"You killed them all?" Ryan asked, "Do you have to kill?"

King Alexander-Andrew did not answer the question, he looked at the emotional Ryan, who also looked at him, and Ryan suddenly noticed a trace of exhaustion and a look of weakness on his face.

"I beg you, young magician. King Alexander-Andrew suddenly spoke: "This is the first time I have asked someone else. ”

"Killing?" Ryan said disdainfully, "What have you done in your life besides killing people?"

"Yes. King Alexander Andrew nodded slowly: "Indeed, I don't know how many people I have killed in my life, but many times it is not my will, I should have been a happy prince, slowly waiting to inherit my father's throne, but who ruined it all? From the moment I put on the black armor, I made a vow to myself in my heart: the dignity of the empire can only be defended with iron and blood!"
