The Twelve Movements of Twilight Volume 10 Aging Down
readx;
More than 1,000 iron horsemen stepped on the first rays of dawn and galloped towards Yanjing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 There were several carriages in the center of the info cavalry, and Rog sat in one of them, holding a magical note recording the miracles of the goddess of ice and snow, and studying it attentively. Floya was curled up like a kitten in the velvet seat across from him, asleep.
Her white face swept away the seductive and charming style when she was sober, revealing a trace of childish innocence and tranquility. The long eyelashes flutter occasionally, like a butterfly raising its wings lightly. A light pink slightly transparent undergarment peeked out of the round neckline of her tunics, and her round breasts rose and fell as she breathed slightly.
Rog closed the note, rubbed his slightly sour eyes, and looked at the snoozing kitten.
Unconsciously, a ray of sunlight quietly pierced through the heavy clouds, shone on the moving carriage, and spilled into the carriage through the unclosed window. Floya, who was visibly dissatisfied, closed her eyes and muttered a few times in a daze, pulled over the brocade blanket, covered her head tightly, and then continued to sleep peacefully. Unexpectedly, he changed his posture like this, but stretched his slender and smooth left leg out of the robe. The toes are exquisite, and the toenails are painted with a fiery red, and the posture is very sultry.
When Rogge saw her look of caring for one or the other, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and pity gradually developed in his heart. He knew very well that Floya was a man of illustrious background, a powerful magic, and a beautiful and brilliant woman, as if all the favors of fate had been given to her. But she was actually extremely unlucky. In a sense, this little goblin with a loving surname does not have a real relative. Hierro, the only great mage who was kind to her, had also died.
Rog sighed, leaned over, and covered the blanket for her.
At this time, the northern country has entered the depths of winter. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers outside the car window change color, becoming a world of ice and snow.
Hundreds of years ago, this season would have been the time when the goddess of ice and snow was most fond and active. According to the Magic Notes, the first appearance of the Ice Goddess and the fact that her powers can be perceived and believed in by mortals were only a thousand years ago, not when the Silver Cult claimed that the Ice Goddess had existed at the beginning of the world. The magic notes are based on a large number of materials, legends, and dozens of research experiences on magic props with the divine power of the goddess of ice and snow. It's a pity that this great magician was not in time, and he was on the same boat with Ett's adventurous team when he went to the northern part of the Longines Sea to investigate the ancient glaciers. At that time, the adventurous party decided to temporarily switch to pirates, and as a result, the talented great magician fell for a plot and died before he could even cast a single spell.
The scope of the Great Mage's investigation was not limited to the canon of the Silver Cult, but also included the landscapes of the vast Northland, the weather, and any legends and magical items related to the Ice and Snow Goddess. The purpose of his investigation was to find out why the Ice Goddess no longer performed miracles.
About 300 years ago, the miracles of the Ice and Snow Goddess reached its peak, and she would even perform miracles in response to the requests of her followers! At that time, the Silver Sacred Sect was full of magicians, and the magic of the Ice and Snow Mage was growing by leaps and bounds, and new powerful magic was constantly being studied, and powerful magic items and even artifacts with the divine power of the Ice and Snow Goddess began to appear one by one.
Compared to other gods recorded at the time, the goddess of ice and snow was indeed the most active god of her time, although she could not be said to be the most powerful god due to her singular power. As a result, the Silver Cult expanded rapidly, and finally broke out an unprecedented religious war with the Church of Light, which had risen for a hundred years and had established itself in the Northern Kingdom, and defeated the Church of Light, which claimed to believe in the Supreme God and many main gods under the Supreme God.
However, for some reason, since the expulsion of the Church of Light, the activities of the Ice Goddess have gradually decreased, and the rituals that can sense and use her divine powers are rare, and in recent decades, the Ice Goddess has not performed miracles at all.
The final account of the note is a startling conjecture. After much research, the great magician believed that the miracle of the goddess of ice and snow was not gradually weakened, but suddenly fell silent after a great explosion of divine power.
So he wondered what might have happened to the Ice Goddess herself. Although his devotion to faith had made the great magician reluctant to write too direct and pessimistic words, the intense uneasiness that flowed between his words had revealed more than enough.
Rogge stroked the notebook that recorded the great magician's efforts for more than ten years, looked out the window at the snow, and just thought: "If the conjecture of this notebook is true, then it seems that gods can also be destroyed...... How far is the distance between God and man?"
He closed his eyes, as if listening to something. To his disappointment, however, there was no sound in the carriage behind. Not only that, but the two people in the car are like sculptures, except for the occasional blink, they don't even move a finger.
In the carriage immediately behind Rogge, sat Lei Luo and Mei. Most of the prohibitions on Lei Luo's body have been lifted, and he can move freely except that he can't use his fighting energy.
"I am a kind and generous person, and I am always willing to give people one more chance. Before leaving, Rogge smiled and said to Lei Luo.
He looked at Mei again and ordered: "You and Lei Luo take a car, he doesn't care about anything for you, it's rare! You reminisce about the past, and by the way, persuade him, as long as he is willing to work for me, everything that happened in the past will be over." And I can fulfill and protect you. ”
Mei obediently got into the carriage.
However, the progress of the situation was much more than Rogge expected, and along the way, Lei Luo and Mei did not say or do anything.
According to Rogge's understanding, since a playboy like Lei Luo, who is willing to risk life and death for Mei Gan, he must have fallen in love with Mei to the depths.
Although Lei Luo and Mei wanted to pretend that they didn't know each other at first, the source of their power couldn't fool the fat man, it was all the power of nature. What's more, Mei is not good at cheating, and the change in her expression at the beginning has already revealed her concern for Lei Luo. And Lei Luo's eyes when he was captured and looked at Mei when he was bound to die, full of sadness and reluctance, almost all the entanglements between the two were clearly written on his face. Rogge is an old and cunning man, knows people's surnames well, and knows at a glance that Lei Luo and Mei have a deep relationship.
But he still doesn't know if Lei Luo has other goals, or if he just wants to kill himself and rescue Mei. However, from the current point of view, Lei Luo only needs to save Mei's surname is more likely to be larger. Although his skills are good, it is a little unreasonable to want to assassinate Rogge single-handedly. You have to have a few accomplices, right?
The more Mei pretends to be bland, the more she loves Lei Luo. Rogge is determined to make good use of the card to force out the true purpose of Mei Dang's strange operation.
It's cold and snowy outside, but it's warm inside, and the small magic device under the seat is constantly supplying heat. The carriage was furnished in such a comfortable and luxurious manner that it had been used exclusively by Rogge, but now it was given to them. In such an environment, two lovers who are in love and in a desperate situation suddenly have a moment of solitude, if nothing happens, it is too much to say.
After something happens, when the two of them are close to each other, they always have to talk about their hearts or something. Rogge was waiting for this moment.
But things didn't go as Rogge intended, and nothing happened in the carriage.
Even if they only used gestures to communicate silently, they couldn't escape the detection of Rogge's spiritual power. But the two men were like lifeless stone statues, unmoving.
Could it be that Lei Luo and Mei found out that they were spying on themselves?Rog shook his head, and then ruled out the possibility.
The fat man has found that most of the strong people's understanding and use of spiritual power is actually quite shallow. Androni, for example, was unable to detect the location of Roger who had concealed his breath with his mental powers, nor was she aware of Rogge's probing of her with his mental powers. Although her power is not yet mature, it is clear that Prosis is not very skilled in this field, otherwise it would have been long overdue to teach Androni about the art of defense and probing mental power.
Rogge's hiding has even been hidden from Audreych and Sky Fury, so how could he find out with Ray Lo and Mei?
So are Relo and Mei communicating in a way that Rogge doesn't know? Rog didn't find any signs of magic, vindictiveness, or even the divine power of the goddess of nature, and the two of them didn't make any moves.
"Are they flirting?" thought the fat man viciously, he had lost his patience with the impasse in his ingenious arrangement.
Although Lei Luo's cultivation of Dou Qi is also derived from the power system of the Goddess of Nature, it is still different from the Cloud Night City under the jurisdiction of Sky Fury. Based on this, Rogge judged that it was very likely that Relo was born under other Great Druids. The fat man really wanted to know a little more about the other great druids, especially the skin-to-skin blind date with Mei was extremely weird, and it was always a lingering heart disease for him, so he arranged it so painstakingly.
The thought that the Wrath of the Sky that he had worked so hard to kill was only one of the four great druids made Rogge's head ache again. When Tiffany fights, although the fat man is brave for a while, he still goes through great dangers to kill him in the face of the wrath of the sky, which has consumed a lot of magic power, and when he is the first to succeed in the sneak attack. Most mages are frail and not good at close combat, and the Archmage is no exception. To deal with a great mage with a serious consumption of mana, the protective magic has been removed, and people are close to each other, a level 10 warrior is enough. Rogge, who had made sufficient preparations in advance, thought that even the druids would have some power in close combat, but in this situation, the wrath of the sky was only a bitter battle at best.
But he didn't expect Sky Fury's hand-to-hand combat spell to be so ferocious, and it was only a very small chance between life and death that allowed Rog to kill Sky Fury. If Sky Fury didn't care about his life like that, then the one who was killed on the spot would have to be replaced by Rog.
Even if Sky Fury is the strongest of the four druids, the other three great druids may not be easy to deal with.
The carriage behind him remained motionless.
Rogge's anger gradually surged, if it weren't for the fact that his attainment in death magic was not yet at home, and the memories extracted from his soul were full of holes, how could he allow Lei Luo to be so carefree?
With a wave of his hand, he summoned a thin piece of smooth ice, squeezed out a smile at the shadow on the ice, and kept saying to himself, "Don't be angry, relax, relax." Be patient, learn to wait, and waiting is also a kind of wisdom......"
Floya poked her head out of the blanket, glanced at Rogge in a daze, and snorted, "I'm practicing pretending to be a good person again." It's late, isn't it?"
"Of course it's not too late!" Rogge finally managed to maintain an amiable smile, turned to her, and said, "Besides, I am a good person, where do I need to dress?"
The fruits of his efforts were exchanged for a big white eye from the little goblin. "You're a nice guy? With that, the goblin stretched lazily, retracted into the blanket, and continued her good dreams.
At this time, there was a faint commotion outside the car window. Rogra lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw that he was passing by a village of considerable size. The villagers gathered in the open space outside the village, shouting noisily. There was a stake in the clearing, on which a man was tied. A small squad of the cavalry guarding Rog was formed and the clearing was enclosed. An old man among the villagers was negotiating something with the cavalry captain.
"What's going on?" asked Rog as he opened the window.
"Lord Rog, it's the Eye of Wisdom and the followers of the Silver Holy Cult who are at odds. The one tied to the stake is the believer of the Eye of Wisdom, and the villagers plan to burn him. The villain has already sent someone to stop him in time and asked them to release him. "Although this knight commander is from the Tides Legion, he knows how to advance and retreat. He knew that Prince Rogge was the biggest supporter of the Eye of Wisdom, so he prepared first without waiting for Rogge's orders.
Rogge nodded in satisfaction and closed the window.
It was just after noon when the carriage came to a halt. This time, without waiting for Rogge to take the initiative to ask, the cavalry commander himself came to report.
"Lord Rogge, there is a group of thousands of Silver Holy Sect followers passing in front of you. They claimed to be going to destroy the Cathedral of the Eye of Wisdom in Zolamu. What do you think we should do?"
Not far from the territory of the Duchy of Leighton, the city of Zolamu is the last church of the Eye of Wisdom in the Empire. In a short period of time, this religious war has burned down thirteen churches of the Eye of Wisdom in the empire, turning thousands of believers into geists.
Rogge pondered for a moment and said lightly, "Let them pass." ”
The knight commander was stunned, although he was puzzled, he still ordered to withdraw the cavalry besieging the followers of the Silver Holy Sect, and escorted Rogge to continue to Yanjing.
A week ago, the church in Zolamu would have burned down in flames. But now everything is different. Mora and dozens of fanatical mages have gone to Zolamu to pacify the faithful. At that time, the thousands of followers of the Silver Holy Sect will be greeted by a magical flame that will cover the heavens and the earth.
In the afternoon, after a morning of tug-of-war, the sun finally drove away the heavy clouds, and the majestic posture of the red sky reigned on the northern land again. The carriage was sprinkled with a warm golden glow, which made people drowsy. Floya, who had eaten a simple lunch, sat for a while and yawned twice in a row, her beautiful green eyes became misty again, and she slipped into the blanket and continued to sleep.
A magic book with a lambskin cover slipped out of her hand and fell silently onto the thick carpet. Rogge reached out and picked it up, opened it and saw that it was a book that explained how the forces of nature worked.
It turns out she's always remembered...... Rog's heart trembled slightly, and then he turned his gaze to the monotonous and barren northern scenery outside the car window.
In just one day's journey, Rogge had fully seen the horrors of the wars of religion. In remote frontiers where state power is difficult to reach, the spontaneous struggle between believers becomes more unbridled because of the lack of restraint. He saw men who had been burned to death, believers who had been stuck in wooden stakes and had not yet died, and young girls who had been insulted to death. Of course, the vast majority of these people are believers in the Eye of Wisdom.
"Whose territory is this?" Rog finally asked the cavalry commander in the evening.
"This area should be the domain of the Marquis of Pondick. The cavalry commander replied.
Rogge nodded and closed the window.
Floya was still curled up like a kitten. Perhaps because she was too tired for some time in the past, she slept soundly.
"You've seen everything along the way, what are you going to do next?" At some point, Macbeth, condensed by a pale golden glow, appeared in the carriage and sat down next to Rogge.
"Faith is the only thing for any believer. It's either this god or that god. So for those of us who want to expand the power of faith, there are only two results, gain or loss. I've never liked to lose. Rogge replied lightly.
Macbeth said, "There may be a third way between what you get and what you lose. It's a pity that most of my memories have been left in the celestial realm, and now I only have a vague memory. My body is about to go north, hoping to get something out. I won't be able to protect you during this time, so you'll need to spend more time building up your strength. ”
He glanced at Rogge and frowned, "Wait, there seems to be some changes in the divine power of the goddess of nature in your body...... But I don't know exactly what has changed. You don't have to worry too much, I'll remember that. ”
There was a sudden fluctuation in the space, and Wella appeared in the carriage. She took off the helmet of the demon lotus, and her straight blonde hair sprinkled like a waterfall, reflecting the entire carriage a little.
Wella's eyes glowed a faint gold, staring at Macbeth.
Macbeth smiled and bowed, "I'm not a good choice for you. ”
"That's true. Wella said. "When you go to the north, help me keep an eye on the existence of those forces that are still visible. ”
Macbeth muttered, "Although devouring will make your power grow rapidly, the power it brings is not pure, and it is not good for your ultimate strength increase. ”
Wella said coldly: "I know better than you whether it is beneficial or not. ”
"I've been with the Lord God long enough......"
"You got your second pair of wings because you've been singing praises to the Lord God long enough, not because you're really strong enough to reach the level of four wings. Wella's words were as sharp as a sword.
Macbeth smiled helplessly, knowing that arguing with the Angel of Light about the understanding of power was only asking for trouble, so he decided to avoid it, and his figure gradually disappeared.
Rogge stared at Wella, the expression on his face was very strange, and he said after a while: "Fengyue, your changes are really great......
Wella smiled faintly, swept the wisp of emanation that fell to her ear, and said, "Have I changed? Actually, everything is the same as before, but you only notice it now." ”
A bland sentence made Rogge stay where he was.
Wella looked at the sleeping Floya beside her, took off the demon lotus's gloves, and reached out to rub the fairy's long golden hair. The little goblin, who had been disturbed from her sleep, was in a terrible temper, and she did not wake up completely, only muttered indistinctly angrily, and then snorted and covered her head with a blanket.
Wella smiled and said, "She can really sleep!"
Rogge sighed, "She's so tired. ”
Outside the window, it is said that the gold falls, and the distant mountains and land are full of gold. In the car, Xinfang secretly crossed, and the two beauties were stunningly captivating. Faced with this situation, for some reason, Rogge was not happy at all.
"Fengyue, your power ......"
"I have my own way. But you have to always remember that only power is everything, and it is all the world. After Wei Na finished speaking, she reorganized the demon lotus and also disappeared into the void.
As night fell, Rogge finally boarded the carriage behind him. He looked at Lei Luo and Mei who were sitting opposite each other, and said with a smile: "You really make me admire! I want to ask, have you thought about it?"
Both Lei Luo and Mei looked at Rogge calmly, and the resolute expression carved out of a mold made Rogge's anger rise irrepressibly again. The fat man nodded, and said, "Good, very good! It seems that you have made your decision, and my only hope is that you will not regret it." ”
Rog tore through Relo's clothes, revealing his toned body, and then took the Soul Eater Dagger from his bosom and slid it gently over his bulging pectoral muscles with its cold blade.
"Well, Mr. Relo, the time for forgiveness has passed. It's time to settle the problem between us. You preempted Princess Malika, who was destined to marry me, and almost cost me the title of Prince. You've made me a disgrace in front of my subordinates in Dresden. But I don't care about that, but do you remember that you once stabbed an elf with this dagger! I once promised a man to take good care of this elf, but in order to save her life, I had to turn her into a more evil being than the dark elf, but even then, in the end, I couldn't save her life. No, I'm not saying I'm a good person. On the contrary, you will soon find out how cruel and evil I am. Now, would you like to taste this dagger for yourself?"
In Rogge's mind, Wind Butterfly was of course killed by the druid.
"Please!" Lei Luo said indifferently.
Rogge smiled and said, "With such a deep hatred, how can I cheapen you like this?"
The fat man casually put a paralysis technique in his hand, sealing all of Lei Luo's mobility, and then there was silence again, so that he couldn't even scream. After arranging it, Rogge tore open Lei Luo's pants, glanced at him, and praised: "It's really good! It's a pity that your dear Mei still fell into my hands, and Malika's revenge will be settled!"
Rogge looked up with a smile and looked at Mei.
Mei's face turned pale, and her body trembled.
"Mei, guess what I'm going to do with Lei Luo?"
Mei smiled very reluctantly and said bitterly, "No...... Know. ”
Rogge stroked Lei Luo's sturdy and perfect body, and said slowly: "This body is perfect, of course it can't be damaged at will, so I won't use corporal torture on him." Except, of course, this one. ”
Rogge used the Soul Eater Dagger to provoke Lei Luo's majestic [***], and said, "There is the best doctor in the Emperor [***] team outside, I will let them take the most blunt knife, castrate a small piece of this thing every day, and then heal the wound." The moment we arrive at the gate of Yanjing, we must castrate the last bit of remnant!"
Mei's face was bloodless.
Rogge continued, "One of the things that is unfortunate for you is that my level of soul indulgence is probably stronger than that of ordinary archmages. I'm not going to ask anything from Relo right now, so I'll draw on his memories once a day, and I can know as much as I can. Or the moment I arrive in Yanjing, I will completely extract his soul from his body. As for this soulless body, it will be an excellent material for making dolls. Those lonely ladies will love it. ”
Mei lowered her head, already biting her lip.
Rogge suddenly shouted: "Tell me everything you know, and I'll let him go immediately!"
Mei's whole body trembled, but she gritted her teeth and said, "My faith is higher than ...... All. Besides, I don't know anything, and I can't say anything I want to. ”
"Very good!" Rogge said softly, "Mei, are you afraid of death?"
"I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die. I'm going to find a chance to get revenge, or at least I'll live to see you destroyed with my own eyes. And I'm also afraid that the soul will suffer after death. Mei had calmed down.
"Okay, I'm a tolerant person, so I'll give you this opportunity. But you must be at my disposal in all things. ”
Mei regained her iceberg-like coldness and nodded.
Rogge laughed and said, "Then you can do that day again in front of Mr. Lei Luo!"
