Alive......

Malbert's wish today is simple.

But this simple wish seems extremely sad to mention now......

Leon looked at him and sighed: "Being controlled by Kavala, sharing a body with Ahlers, and can only come out when Ahlers is sleeping, is this also considered alive?" ”

Malbert himself sighed.

"You should know what Kavala is going to do, right? Have you ever been to the temple? ”

Leon stared into Malbert's eyes and changed the subject.

"Of course he knows, he wants to find his ring, and he wants to return to the continent of Amara and lead the Serpent Cult to conquer Pander and become the only god...... Of course, he still wants to kill you. I haven't been to the temple, but when he's in control, I know everything he knows, just as he can 'hear' what my spirit thinks, so I know everything about him, and I know everything about the temple. ”

Malbert also calmly looked back into Leon's eyes - he was indeed not controlled now.

It seems that although it is an unequal deed of sale, and it is a puppet that may be controlled at any time, it is not controlled all the time.

This is presumably a unilateral contract that opens up control of the soul, allowing the Kavala to control herself whenever she needs it, in exchange for the soul not to disperse, and to share information when controlled.

Leon suddenly thought of Yunomia—he could hear her voice out of thin air, but he couldn't know what she was thinking, which meant that Yunomia had never controlled herself.

The goddess of order is really different from Kavala.

But Kavala's control is doing stupid things - completely controlling the Chosen One is equivalent to going out himself, and the Chosen One's original abilities cannot be used at all, it is better to control a corpse, at least the corpse is not afraid of pain.

It's no wonder that Kavala prefers to manipulate the undead, and his mentality is not a god at all......

"Actually, he can let Ling go to the Amara Continent alone to lead the Snake Worship Sect, with your ability, the Snake Worship Sect may be able to grow rapidly, and it is likely to be better than going to it himself."

Leon looked at Malbert with some regret - if Kavala hadn't intervened to control Malbert halfway, I was afraid that it would have been Leon who would have been anxious at this moment.

He didn't dare...... Hahaha, Leon, he didn't dare to let me get too much freedom and power, he was afraid that I would turn against him like Maltis! Because he tricked me into signing the soul contract - he said that he would resurrect me and live forever. But the way he resurrected and immortalized me was to keep me trapped in Aalez's body......"

Malbert laughed miserably: "He's not just a liar, he's a coward." If it weren't for the goddess's favor, with his own ability, he would not have been worthy of becoming the king of Pande...... Aside from the fact that he has elven blood, that guy is good for nothing in my opinion! ”

"No way, there will always be people who are born with good luck and the level of reincarnation is high enough...... Besides, don't the nobles and the king all live by reincarnation and deception? ”

Li Ang also smiled helplessly: "But you say this, aren't you worried that Kavala will hear it?" ”

"He's not omniscient enough to be so omniscient...... He controlled a lot of spirits, and if he listened to anyone he spoke, he would have gone insane! ”

Malbert shook his head: "As for my thoughts—he could have seen my thoughts, and he knew that I was insulting him all the time, but he was probably used to it—there were quite a few people who were taken advantage of by him to sign a soul contract, and each of them would insult him, and it would only be worse than mine......"

This is also true, no matter how powerful the control is, it can definitely only control one person at the same time, after all, Kavala also has only one brain......

"It's better to be controlled by others all the time, never to be liberated, and to get no benefit, than to die......"

Leon looked at Malbert and said sincerely, "Seriously, I think you should find a way to leave Ahlers's body, even if the spirit body dissipates, maybe there is still a chance to reincarnate as a human." ”

"I want to too...... But I can't! Leon, I can't leave Ahlers' body right now, and I can't force Ahlers' soul...... I also wanted to reincarnate myself as a human being, and I was never afraid of failure or death, because I knew that death was not the end. But I'm a spirit who has made a pact with a god, and you should know that such a spirit can't die! ”

Malbert does look very uncomfortable, and this is really not acting.

No one wants to be controlled, and neither does Malbert.

But he really had a hard time getting rid of it.

"Maybe there's a way around it...... Malbert, since you don't want to be controlled forever, I think we might be able to work together first and try to solve your troubles—and of course, my problems with Alina. ”

Leon thought for a moment and felt that Malbert seemed to be able to fight for it.

"How to cooperate? As long as Kavala controls me again, he can 'hear' everything I know...... Don't forget, he can hear the minds of spirits. ”

Malbert doesn't seem to refuse to cooperate, but is more skeptical of the possibility of cooperation.

In fact, Malbert and Leon are both willing to trade with each other - just like they once used the ownership of White Hart Fort to trade those casinos and entertainment venues in the northwest of the Lion Kingdom, there is really no need to fight and kill when they can win each other.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate, I am more than fifty percent sure that your soul contract will be terminated."

After thinking about it carefully, Li Ang gave a very serious answer.

"If you can do it, then of course I'd prefer to work with you. But how are you going to do it? Do you want Aziz Dahaka to get me out of control? But then Ares would die—you should know that. ”

Malbert shook his head.

Indeed, his situation is different from Leon's - Malbert and Ares are in a state of coexistence, Ares is a living man, and if Leon intends to solve the problem with Azz Dahaka, then Malbert can break the soul contract, but Aleth will die......

"You know Azi Dahaka?"

Now it was Leon's turn to be surprised, Malbert actually knew everything......

"Of course I know, that's how Maltis got out of control, otherwise why do you think Kavala would want me to deal with you? Originally, he had planned to let me go to the Noldor Forest, so I knew so much about it...... Moreover, Ahler's wife is the slave woman, and she is the one who helped Kavala make Azz Dahaka—I probably know about Azi Dahaka before you do. ”

Malbert sighed, "That ice cellar in Ahlers' house was originally used to store Azz Dahaca!" It's just that by the time I arrived in Ahuen, Aziz Dahaka had already been sent away. The woman was a serpent priestess, and she wanted to kill me not because of any hatred, but because she happened to be controlled by Kavala at the time - I was going to use this to force you and Wendy to investigate the matter of Azi Dahaka, but Kavala probably saw that I had been telling the truth and thought I was going to betray him, so he temporarily controlled me and changed his tune...... He doesn't understand it at all, and only by telling the truth can he deceive people. ”

It seems that the mysterious masked man Anson met in Brethbon is the wife of Ahlers, no wonder the fighting power is so weak.

Malbert originally wanted to use Aziz Dahaka to get Leon and Wendy to leave Alina with an attitude of 'cooperating against Kavala' - only Leon's blood can control Aziz Dahaka, and if Leon leaves, Wendy will inevitably leave, so Alina will most likely fall into the hands of Malbert and the Vipers.

Kavala was anxious to try to deceive Leon with the Codex, and this improvised statement did not match Malbert's foreshadowing at all, so Leon saw it.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be Azi Dahaka...... Malbert, you must have been controlled by him more than a year ago, right? In other words, he's been laying it out all the time, can you tell me what he's let you do? Maybe there's another way I can free you. ”

Leon began to learn more.

"He made me do a lot of things more than a year ago...... He told me to take the Codex of Heresy to a large city with a lot of people and summon Agraem out. At that time, in order to help my father relieve his stress, I took the Codex to Lion Lake City. ”

Malbert replied calmly, "Moreover, I plan to kill you with Aglame - I killed Grandlon, and I deliberately sent you to Lion Lake City to face Aglame...... But I didn't expect you to be able to deal with even Agrim......"

At that time, Brenus was pinned down in Crag Bay, and the presence of Agraim and the mass of Fallen in Lion Lake City forced Leon to look away.

In fact, Malbert succeeded, and Leon did almost die outside Lion Lake City.

This can probably be regarded as Malbert's revenge for being framed, no wonder he doesn't have a particularly big hatred for Leon - when Leon stabbed him to death, he was no longer in his body at that time, of course, he didn't feel anything.

"Could it be that Agraim is also controlled by Kavala? Not really?! ”

Leon now understood why Kavala had to control Malbert - Malbert knew soul spells, his Knights of Dusk had been studying heresy, and he would summon abyssal demons.

But Kavala won't be able to control the Abyss Demon, right?

"It's not ...... He didn't have the skills to do that either. He just wanted to use Agrim to help him break the seal - he was sealed in the temple at that time, and although he had the power of a god, he did not have the qualifications of a god, and he could not pass through the abyss gate with a spirit body without a complete god. Only a powerful evil spirit like Agrim has enough mana to break his seal. ”

Malbert explained: "He tricked Agrim into a 'summoning ritual' that he taught him a 'summoning ritual', and Agrim thought he could summon his lover out of the abyss through a circle, but in reality it was not a summoning, but a sacrifice - and would send both the body and the Codex to the temple so that Kavala could free the temple from its seals." ”

I see......

This sacrifice was stirred up by Roland.

Leon always thought that Kavala was already a god, but in fact there may still be a big gap.

This gap is not in mana, but in Godhead.

The Code of Law is probably not the Godhead itself, but at least it represents this qualification.

"Didn't he make a ring himself? You should know the High King's Ring, right? That's made with the Codex of the Goddess of Order......"

Leon was a little puzzled, he had always thought that the ring was Kavala's codex, after all, the ring seemed to serve the same function as the Abyss Gate.

"That ring is still the code of the Goddess of Order. Kavala didn't have the skills of a creator, and if he could build his own codex, the temple would have been unable to trap him - as long as he had the codex, he would be able to travel to and from the temple without restrictions. ”

Malbert shook his head at this, "He just wanted the ring to be brought to the temple so he could get out of there." ”

"You know so much, it means that Kavala really intended you to do this job...... But why didn't you go to Ella Clay to salvage the ring? ”

Leon had realized that if Malbert knew this, it must have been because Kavala had controlled him over what he was going to do—but he hadn't gone north with the Serpent army.

"Because in his eyes, dealing with you is more important than getting the ring......"

Malbert shook his head and smiled wryly, "He doesn't trust anyone, but at least he's not stupid when it comes to prioritization." ”

Leon pouted expressionlessly, this is indeed Kavala's mentality - Kavala has time.

The ring can be retrieved at any time, but now that Leon is injured and unable to act, there are not many people around him, he is still in Bacchus, and he also has a 'conflict' with Bacchus's wordsman, there are not many good opportunities for this.

"Killing me is more important than getting the ring......"

Leon began to think.

Since Kavala felt that killing himself was more important than getting the ring, it meant that he should strike again.

But Kavala left Malbert here without control, and Kavala didn't trust Malbert in the first place, which meant that he didn't care what Malbert would reveal to Leon - which meant that Kavala would soon strike again......

However, those viper spies alone will definitely not be able to deal with Leon, who else can Kavala control?

He can only control people who have signed a soul contract with him, but what else is there in the Emperor's Harbor besides Malbert and some of the Viper spies?

"Malbert, can you use your soul spell that magnifies the desires in your heart on yourself?"

Leon asked Malbert suddenly.

Malbert was stunned, but didn't have time to answer.

Because at this moment, there was a shouting and scolding from outside the door.

Then, the sound of the sword handing over came.

"What's going on?!"

Alina stood up in surprise.

"Your Majesty, get out of here quickly!"

Klose slammed open the door in a frenzy: "There is an enemy storming the Governor's Palace!" ”

"Is it a lot?"

Leon endured the pain of the wound and stood up: "Klose, calm down!" Stick to here, I can't run far like this now......"

"Uh......h Woo...... Woo......"

Before he could finish speaking, a trumpet came from the city wall.

This is a continuous long tone, and it is the assembly number after the discovery of an enemy attack.

"Leon, look out the window......"

Wendy pointed out the window to the sea.

The window of the study could only see a corner of the sea in the distance, from which some spinnakers slowly emerged, and then the hull of the ship gradually revealed the sea line.

That's the reason for the clarion call.

"Don't panic, those ships are still on the sea line, and it will take at least two hours to land...... Where did that fleet come from?! ”

The fleet didn't look like a ship from the Pander Continent, and Leon had never seen such a ship.

"Maritin...... That's the fleet of the Maritin! ”

Alina recognized, her face looked calm, but there was no blood: "How could they ...... Elena, go and give an order to mobilize the people of Emperor Lingang......"

"It's too late, little girl. The Vipers are very poor in combat, but it's okay to keep you guys here for two hours. Leon, I think, we should be able to talk now......"

Kavala's voice came out of Ahler's mouth again - he had taken control of Malbert again: "This time, did you guess my plan? ”
