Chapter 480: The Bitter Lord
Sometimes conspiracy and calculation are not as easy to hurt as the truth.
Although the militaristic emperor of Vida, Friedrich Beyer, who had reigned for fifty-one years, told the truth about what he saw and heard in the shrine tower, and the words of Sophia, the head of the witches. But to be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the old emperor himself wouldn't have believed this word.
So when Duke Becker was in the council hall of the militaristic state, in front of everyone, with a pitiful look that saw an idiot, he looked at this man who had previously been regarded as his lifelong enemy. He felt a little ashamed of this. The kind of joke that even a bard is ashamed to say, this old emperor is dazed to pull out these things.
In particular, the compensation demanded for the loss of the shrine maiden tower can only be described as an exaggeration. Could it be that all the people inside are dead, and everything has to be overturned and restarted.
Looking at the high-grade paper scroll placed on the silver platter, Becker Gong grabbed the side of the paper scroll without hesitation and heroically and unfolded it. The paper roll drew a wonderful arc in the air and rolled off the ground. As the circle scrolled, the long list was displayed in front of everyone.
Just looking at this serial watch, the nobles present, including the old emperor himself, all felt that this was a joke. Isn't it possible to list all the missing people in the castle of the Bachmann family? The Special Emperor also relayed the words of Granny Sophia, saying that the list was not yet complete.
With those sharp eyes, you can naturally see the words written in blood on the scroll of paper. The first one in each row is who is from such and such a village; And then there's the murderer, Thales. Sometimes it is written that the son of the blacksmith and then the murderer Doros. The more glaring one is, of course, the husband of the Bachman family, Indu, the murderer Lizard.
The names that are written on the back are John, Brutos, Lokotosh, Klein, Enki, Basilius, Monnet, Albrecht, Simon, Reddy, Sacp, Bifron...... It's more of a bunch of spelling words that can't even be pronounced, and even weird, non-obsessive words used by any race.
There were many names for the murderers, but none of the two mages they had come to see: Gaybrash Tripwood and Finn Ni Tikal. Does it mean that Bahmann's castle was actually invaded by an army and killed the people inside, not by two magicians?
Just say, how are these names so familiar?
As aristocrats, they may not know how to work, but compared to most ordinary people, a competent nobleman can be regarded as a polymath, after all, they can have a good family education. And to be able to have a place at the core meeting of an empire will not be something that can be eaten by blood relations alone.
So soon, someone came to their senses. The first name in each row corresponds to someone in Bachmann's castle; Except for those that can't be identified, the latter name is almost a list of gods and demons in the land. Does this long list represent a joke by the old emperor?
Suddenly, an indescribable sense of oppression descended, sending chills down everyone's backs and their hairs standing on end.
At the same time, the palace lit up with bright yellow, glass-like wonders, isolating everyone in the council hall from the super-powerful existence that was being snooped on from the outside world. This layer of protection also made the pressure felt by everyone sharply reduced, and they were able to breathe smoothly again.
Everyone understands that this is a protective magic in the palace, used to block the peeps of gods, demons, and even magic. This also means that someone uses magic, or has a being of the same level as a god, looking at this place in the militaristic palace complex, a council hall.
Someone snorted, someone chuckled. The same thing is that everyone is confident. It may be a world with gods, but as one of the five most powerful forces in the Lost Land, the most central court is certainly wary of those superpowers.
Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that any god or demon could afford to play with them. But some inadvertently, or consciously, snooping, the courts of the five empires are not something they can easily pass by.
Suddenly, there was another flash in the palace, and at the same time, a completely different pressure came to him. Although the magic array guarding the palace quickly eliminated this pressure, it still made the nobles in it feel uncomfortable.
There is still a gap between the power that the gods bring when they appear and the magic array that needs to operate in order to function. No matter how short this gap is, it is not a pressure that a group of mortals can understate that it is okay.
But the aristocracy who can stand in the council hall is not just pampered. In the national atmosphere of the militaristic state, people who have no ability are in high positions, and they will soon be rectified. Therefore, for this kind of short-term pressure from the superior existence, it is like holding their breath for them, and it is not so that they cannot breathe.
But when the third, fourth, and even countless eyes of concern came, the high-level leaders of the militaristic state exploded!
There's no mistake that Vida Militarism is one of the five most powerful nations on earth. But they also know that there are still certain beings in the land who can draw themselves like their grandchildren.
Dealing with one or two gods, in terms of the background of the militaristic state, it is not said that you can win, but you have to hold up a few attacks, and then give the other party a ruthless blow, so that the other party knows the difficulty and retreats. Unless the opponent dies with him, that is, everyone will play with their lives, and it is not certain who will die.
But like today, the gods have used the military palace as a playground, and who and no one, good and bad, good and evil, come to see, how can mortals live? Before the nobles, who thought highly of themselves, could react to this kind of battle, the situation escalated again.
The footsteps were clear but not noisy, and as they stepped out, it seemed to be imprinted on everyone's chests. The knights of the Praetorian Guard, who guarded the perimeter of the palace, were like stone sculptures, turning a blind eye to strangers entering the palace.
First one, two, then three, four as the pace progresses, and the further you go, the more there are. They have different appearances, and they are not nobles in their attire, so they are not qualified to enter the imperial palace of an empire. But none of the people standing in the temple dared to say a word. Because the 'people' who come are not ordinary people, but the 'holy ones', the embodiment of the gods walking on earth.
The way to identify is also very simple, go to any temple, see what kind of god is dressed inside, and what the person who comes is what it looks like. Once you recognize one accurate, you will never admit mistakes. If there is something different, it must be a false temple of deception. Look at whose name he hangs, and when he goes to the main card, it is a god war that has begun, and there is no other result.
And it's not a little god who comes here, the ones who are at the forefront are a few who represent the eight powers. In particular, Enki, who represents wisdom, and Thales, who represents strength, will not be unfamiliar with these two, even if they are not magicians. Who wouldn't want to be smarter and stronger, so naturally they have a lot of dealings with these two.
But...... I really just want to look at the stone carvings or cast statues in the temple, and then use the money to stun a few priests. The Holy One is mortal, what is it like to run in front of you!
What is it for, these big guys who shouldn't appear in the mortal world are getting together. Suddenly, everyone came to their senses and looked at the inventory of scrolls that had fallen from the hands of the old Duke of Becker to the ground without realizing it.
The names listed above...... Do you mean that they are infallible? What is this list for? In the aftermath of the Bachman family incident, if a person dies, the real murderer is listed. It means that those people are dead, and the murderers are the big guys in front of them...... How did it happen? This is the question on everyone's mind.
When the group of sages came to the hall and stood still, one of them, a rough and unkempt bearded man with curly hair, said in a big voice, "Whoever is looking for death like this, stand up for yourself." Dare to peek at so many gods and demons in one breath, where did you get so much courage to dare to mess around like this. I really think that we are easy mortals to offend. ”
The appearance of a group of sages, of course, the court magicians belonging to the militaristic state could not dodge, so they could only face it head-on, running out through the small doors on both sides, blocking the emperor's face. As for the old emperor, he was very bachelor and did not run. Because in his mind, if this group really wants to come to find trouble, they probably won't be able to escape. Then why weaken your momentum.
It's just that neither he nor the Duke of Becker, who was faintly pointed out by the sages, had not yet figured out how to deal with it, and the whole situation ushered in a big change.
The whistle that seemed to be near and far echoed in the ears, and the nobles were still in front of them because of these incredible existences, and the whole person was confused, and they couldn't figure out the situation at all, but all the saints looked up at the sky. Even across a roof, they seemed to be able to see through the most troublesome one descending from the sky.
Suddenly, there were several loud bangs, and nine white-armored figures smashed through the roof and fell heavily to the ground. Not only did it step on nine huge pits on the hard floor of the palace, but it also raised a gust of dust and sand with strong wind pressure, which was almost untenable. The magic array that should protect the palace is like a piece of paper, so powdered that it can't do it in the slightest.
In the dust and sand that gradually subsided, the white-armored warrior slowly got up from a half-kneeling position. Nine people were armed with nine images, some holding a white spear, some holding a broad-faced giant sword, and some holding a huge shield similar to the door panel. The same is their white tone, as well as that powerful and powerful temperament.
These nine people didn't light the divine fire, and they didn't even count as gods. But on a frontal battlefield, any one of them is enough to face a medium-powered evil god or an abyss lord on their own. And their master, in a golden light that broke through the roof of the palace, drove a two-seated chariot and crashed down.
Even the dust raised could not hide the wavy blonde hair that was as bright as the sun. He was not very tall, but he was a giant in the eyes of others. His appearance and strength do not match the word, but no matter what is good or bad, good or evil, he will take the initiative to bypass it when he sees it.
Apollos, the Guardian of the Lost Land, has descended again. His eyes opened slowly, his gaze was like electricity, and he scanned all the saints and mortals present, whether they had the right eyes or not, they all at least took a step back. Even the emperor sitting on the throne couldn't help but lean back.
The Most Powerful One, in His majestic voice, said, "Who is a bastard? Throw garbage at my house and see what it looks like! ”
