Chapter 11: The Thread of the Veil of Conspiracy
Heras tightened his torn clothes, and he felt a little cold. After standing still for a moment, he began to think of various possible surnames: "Maybe the plane death is not talking about Anfaron?"
Yara is a very outstanding ** master, as the deputy head of the Quicksand Empire's Magic Council Battle Mage Department, due to the aging of Minister Anthony's body, Yara has actually led the Empire's mage legion. He has even fought against the legendary professional alone, and such a spellcaster will almost certainly advance to the legendary level, and he is not the average legendary powerhouse. If it weren't for the ambush led by his grandfather, General Salams, who led many strong men, he would not have been executed at all.
In the ambush, he used 4 extremely expensive legendary magic scrolls allocated by Imperial law enforcement, including an extremely rare solidified space-time blockade. And General Salam himself was a great knight close to legend.
His power and scholarly contributions have given Arra a status in the Pillars of the Void, and while not yet legendary, he is able to travel to the Void through the Pillars' teleportation network without paying a hefty teleportation fee - dimensional teleportation is expensive, and a round trip is enough to bankrupt a high-ranking mage.
"I've traveled a lot of planes as a cheap daddy, and the planes may be dying in other ways," Heras thought of a reasonable explanation.
Ampharon is the youngest supreme plane of the human race, and the origin of the plane is extremely abundant. Moreover, the health state of the plane is related to the life and death of the gods of the plane, and the gods are more concerned with the state of the plane than everything else, which is more important than the spread of faith. Even if Yara is a very outstanding ** master, can he be more sensitive to dimensional changes than the gods of Ampharon?
"The gods have never sent down oracles in this regard" Thinking of this, Heras's heart was relieved, and the leaders of the Pillars of the Void could not fight against the powerful gods of their own plane in the supreme plane. For the power of the gods Heras is quite trusted.
"But in any case, my father's treason was very strange, and he must have been involved in some important secret. "Heras must have come to a conclusion. Then he carefully placed the ruby spatial ring on his left hand, an accident that he would bury deep in his heart until he was strong enough, at least stronger than Yara.
Although he decided to investigate to the end, at this time Heras still did not think that there would be any problems with Ampharon: "Even if there is a problem, the gods will solve it quickly, and when the sky falls, there will be gods on top, otherwise what's the use of believing in them?"
Then with a wave of his hand, the gold krona and the broken magic gems scattered from the drawer flew to the ring he was wearing on his left hand, which was nothing to the Leolan family, which was older than the empire, but a great asset to the civilian magicians, who were about to leave Yanjing, and needed a large sum of money for him to study magic on the way.
Then he went to Heras's former exclusive magic laboratory to search, in addition to depicting the resources consumed by the promotion and coordination of the magic array, Heras also left a lot of high-quality magic gems and materials in the laboratory. These are very valuable in the market, and it can be seen that the Leolan family has cultivated Heras a lot.
After the search was completed, Heras was about to go to the guest room for the night, when the rotten voice of the butler Goode sounded behind him without warning: "Young Master Heras, Lord Marquis, please go to the living room, there is an important guest. ”
Although the "pretentious old thief" secretly slandered Goode in his heart, Heras still did not dare to slack off and followed. Goode is a level 8 high-level thief with the bloodline of the Shadow Hunter, although he is not a bloodline inheritor of the blood of the gods, but the Shadow Instinct makes him proficient in the art of assassination, and has completed many difficult tasks for the Leolan Family Council, and he does not know how much blood of the Leolan family's enemies is stained on his hands. After retirement, he was arranged to be a housekeeper by the Marquis's side, and while providing for the elderly, he served as an eyeliner for the family council.
In the living room, an old man with dark red eyes sat upright opposite the marquis, his short red hair meticulously groomed, neatly combed back his head, even when he sat down, his back straightened, his hands gently clenched into fists on his thighs on both sides, in sharp contrast to the marquis who leaned on the sofa casually.
This sturdy old man was Dillian's father, Heras's grandfather, General Salams, who had executed the Emperor of Yala.
The marquis frowned and looked at the imperial general opposite, the nobles who heard the news just now were easily sent away by him, but he didn't expect General Salams to visit in person, with the status of a general, he naturally would not be fooled by the marquis's words, the general named to see Heras, and said that if he needed to rest, then he could wait forever.
Footsteps came from the corridor behind the living room, breaking the silence between the two, and General Salams, who heard this footsteps, couldn't help but clench his fists, and the sound of his footsteps rising and falling was surprisingly consistent!
The Marquis was stared at inexplicably, he was not a great knight, and the problem of the frequency of Heras's footsteps did not attract his attention.
Immediately after Heras appeared in the corner of the living room, the general followed the prestige, and the stereotypical and serious face could not restrain a stunned expression, first-class bloodline knight?
As soon as Heras arrived in the drawing-room, he saw his cheap grandfather, and he knew that the nobleman who was personally received by the marquis must be an extraordinary man, but he never imagined that the imperial tycoon who had personally executed his son-in-law would come to visit.
Out of politeness, Heras saluted the marquis and the general quietly, and he did not know what to say, but remained silent.
The atmosphere froze, and the general just kept looking at Heras, whose hair and eyebrows had become dark and red like blood plasma due to Heras's activation of the resurrected body, and his eyes even became like two pools of blood.
The Marquis broke the strange silence with a few coughs, and he spoke, "Heras, Your Excellency General Salams would like to see you."
Heras was already being stared at himself, and he thought of the Marquis's warning: beware of the bloodline who thirsted for magic. My heart suddenly became vigilant.
Hearing this, the general put away his gaze, nodded slightly, and said, "The resurrected body is very good." It's a pity that you don't have the surname Salams. Then he took out a blood-soaked book and handed it to Heras. "This is the Blood King's complete divine blood activation method, I have deleted all the special inheritance of the Salamth family, this original complete activation method is from the Frost Troll Empire, maybe you can use it in the future. ”
Seeing that the Marquis had no intention of objecting, Heras took the book and put it in the spatial ring, and thanked the general.
"Hehe, the Marquis said that I don't believe it very much. Heras, you are indeed very polite now. General Salams smiled, but he smiled stiffly, as if someone who had never laughed before was imitating him.
Then he said to the Marquis, "Your Excellency, can you let me be alone with Heras for a while?"
The Marquis did not reply immediately, but looked at Heras, asked for his opinion with his eyes, and saw that Heras nodded before he replied succinctly: "No problem." Then he disappeared on the sofa, he is a ** master specializing in space magic, and the flickering in a small area at a short distance does not require much mental power for him, and he can activate his spiritual power hundreds of times in a row without exhaustion.
"Andus's Flash" is a level 8 magic. Although the distance of hundreds of flashes combined, it was far less than the shortest distance of a level 7 teleportation technique. However, teleportation cannot be constructed in the soul, and it cannot be released instantaneously except by using scrolls. Even if the teleportation technique is released by the scroll instantaneously, it still takes a few minutes to dozens of minutes to accumulate energy, and the accumulation time depends on the teleportation distance.
For the ** master who specializes in the space faction, although it costs a lot, the flicker technique can be achieved without a casting buffer, as long as it is engraved on the soul, it can continue to instantaneously. Fighting this kind of mage, unless you have the ability to block space or a large area of powerful destruction skills, you are completely in a position of being passively beaten.
General Salams didn't seem to have any ill intentions, and Heras didn't think it hurt to talk to him.
As soon as he sat down, the general spoke: "I love my daughter so much that I put Arra to death and turn her against me." ”
Heras felt a chill in his mind, reminiscent of Salamth's customs as a nobleman of blood, and his apparent different understanding of the general's "love".
"Not what you think, Heras, I'm an emperor. The general seemed to be faced with this misunderstanding often, and he said lightly: "And Dillian's mother is the priest of the goddess of life. ”
The Anphalian goddess of life, Dalys Farana, Lord of Life, is the only one of the Ampharon gods who can perform legendary resurrections, so she is not only worshiped by many mortal races, but also by the gods.
The other Lord God of Light who gave the legendary resurrection technique in Apphaalong is not the native god of Apfaron, he is the Lord of Light who belongs to the Divine Heaven plane. It was only after some deals with the gods of Anphalong about the order of divine power that he was able to spread his faith in Ampharon.
The Lord God of Light is extremely measured, and has never done anything to anger the native gods. And he would like to share with the gods of Anphalong some of his unique understanding of the divine order. Due to his powerful power, the gods of Ampharon are also blind to the existence of the Church of Light.
The teachings of the Lord of Light and the Lord of Life are very conservative, and the priests of these two god-kings generally appear to be righteous, kind, and clean. The difference is that the priests of the Lord of Light are relatively fanatical, while the priests of the Lord of Life are very gentle.
If the priest of the Lord of Life is willing to marry General Salams, it means that he does not have the bad habits of the bloodline.
"I misunderstood. Heras stood up and apologized. The general waved his hand to sit him down, and continued, "The marriage of Dilian and Yara caused a collective opposition from both families, especially from the members of Salamce. My wife is a priest, and Delian's bloodline has weakened, and if she doesn't marry a member of the family, then her bloodline is lost. But my reasons for opposing it are different from none of them, I want my daughter to marry the priest of the goddess of life. ”
"Why did I never hear my mother talk about my grandmother? Heras asked, confused. He had a preliminary impression of the general's conservatism.
"My wife died while fighting with me, and when Dilian was still in the cradle, she had little memory of her mother. The general replied casually. Then he stared at Heras and said, "I love my wife more than anything, even the Empire, and after she died in an ambush by the Odin Empire, can you understand my hatred of the enemy country? ”
"At that time?" Heras was keen to grasp the point.
"Yes," the general then stood up. "Heras, you are very smart, I am glad that you have matured so quickly, and you are much more reassuring to me now than you were to be completely untrustworthy before. ”
"Would you like to come to my dinner party to-morrow? not the ridiculous family feast of the Salams family, which I have never attended, and which Dillian is forbidden to attend. The general stretched out his right hand to Heras.
Heras shook his hand and nodded heavily, he knew what the general meant.
"Also, don't walk like a legendary knight, it will put you in danger. Before leaving, the general admonished.
Herasthon realized that he hadn't cared about the quantum brain's natural control of pace. It seems that we must pay attention to this in the future!
Bowing in gratitude again, he watched the general disappear into the night, his eyes filled with worry, and it seemed that he was in a big trouble.
