"I am the king of the kingdom of Lestus and the guardian of the Mirnik Heights. You may have heard my name. ”

The wizard removes his hood, revealing his full physiognomy.

The uninvited guest who proclaimed himself king was handsome and classical, with blond hair that reached to his waist and reflected a satin-like sheen in the sun. And Mogan could see the dazzling badge on his neckline, and the lines that glittered on the hem of his shirt.

It's real gold.

The first thought that came to Mogan's mind was this: whether he was a liar or not, he was a rich man.

From the moment they met, the wizard's expression was unusually solemn. "You don't have to call me Your Majesty, if you want, you can call me by my name as an ordinary person - Lucifer Lestus."

But what he said was not arrogant, and the only sense of alienation came from coldness and firmness.

Of course, Mogan had heard of this name, but it was not good that because of this, the owner of the name was recognized as an "ordinary person".

Just because it seems unreasonable and disrespectful.

The place where he is located is located on the southwest side of the Iverson continent, in the mountains of the coastal area of the Cole Kingdom, and across the sea on the north side, it is the location of the other side of the Iverson continent in the so-called "twin continents", where the Milnik continent is located.

Leaving aside the small kingdoms of Nagon, which were dependent on the existence of larger powers, there were four powerful principalities on the two continents.

The wooded and multi-ethnic kingdom of Cole, the grassland-ridden and prosperous kingdom of Crowley, the technologically advanced and densely populated kingdom of Danton, and for Mogan, the most mysterious and distant kingdom of Lestus.

The rulers of the kingdoms on the two continents usually bear their own names, just to prove that they are not only the head and leader of the principality, but also have an unshirkable responsibility to the people, and need to include any towns with the prefix of the state in the scope of protection.

Because of this, the throne belongs even more than blood.

Take the Kingdom of Danton as an example, their monarch has not been of the same bloodline for five consecutive generations, and there is even one generation that is not human, but the elite of the merfolk tribe - the Kingdom of Danton appoints leaders based on ability, and the reason for the replacement is not revolution, but the "succession" of generations.

Aside from the premise of following convention, the kingdom of Lestus is still different.

This mysterious kingdom is located in the far north of the Mirnik continent, and the royal city is so high that it barely communicates with the outside world. At least in the land of the kingdom of Cole, there are few visitors who call themselves Lestus, and they do not hear news from this foreign land.

The news is not new, but the old things are thundering, especially the part about the protagonist of most of the stories, Lucifer Lestus.

It is said that the king of the kingdom of Lestus was a cruel and tyrannical genius wizard.

The paladins of the Kingdom of Crowley once led his troops north, hoping to establish diplomatic relations with his mysterious neighbors, but when he climbed the mountains, he was cut off by inexplicable thunderclouds; The Kingdom of Denton was moved by the minerals of Lestus, and sent elites to imitate the pass order to infiltrate the city, but on the second day of sending the letter to report it, they were thrown to the gate of their own capital with people and horses, and they were planted one by one.

Even the kingdom of Cole had some ties to Lestus, but it was not the royal family or the army that launched the attack, but it had a subtle connection with Mogan himself.

This time, the person involved is an old dragon, and he is also the patriarch of the Dragon Valley, the settlement of the dragon clan on the border of the Kol Kingdom, and is known as the leader of the same clan called "Lord Kui" - Silvio, the Red Flame Demon Dragon.

The battle between the dragon and the king has been devastating, stretching from the Mirnik Highlands to the eastern edge of the North Sea, passing through hundreds of villages and towns, mountains and forests.

Extremely cold frost, raging dragon flames, and monstrous waves rising from the sea, fortunately, there is also a protective shield that I don't know who erected, otherwise even the border islands of the Crowley Kingdom would be affected.

Most people only know the full process and cause of the battle, but only a microcosm of the outcome: the old dragon finally crossed the airspace of the Kingdom of Crowley with a wound, leaving the capital of Lestus intact and continuing to stand in the snow.

Weather magic, speed magic, and even terrifying and varied elemental magic......

Mages specialize in magic, and they are good at different factions according to their affinity, and they can only cast high-level spells that are close to their own attributes, which is the basic common sense of magic learning, but Lucifer's birth and existence broke this.

To this day, even though he almost never participates in interkingdom mage contests, he still earns a place in the default rankings.

Of all the deeds of the current King of Lestus, the most horrific is the tragedy 97 years ago: the "starfall" incident that stabbed Selena, the former queen of Lestus, and caused hundreds of civilians to die in the streets, and put Lucifer on the throne.

It is said that at that time, the kingdom of Lestus was far from being as isolated from the outside world as it is now, and was completely closed. Although there is no conclusive evidence, the only surviving current king at the scene is naturally the owner of the biggest suspicion.

It's just that no one dares to raise objections or ask for trouble, whether now or at the beginning.

Lucifer Lestus has been in office for more than most ordinary people's lives, and his reputation has spread across the continent decades ago. Given the short lifespan of a mage, ranging from 100 years to more than 1,000 years, no one would doubt that the rumored tyranny would continue.

Across the Twin Continents, no Archmage dared to challenge that near-incredible talent – but now, a "Lucifer Lestus" came to Mogan to teach him "how to kill me".

Mogan couldn't equate this wonderful event with the facts, so he had to continue to look at the strange guest.

Perhaps upholding the principle that the enemy does not move and I do not move, the two confronted each other in silence for a while.

"I've heard your name, but first, it has to be 'your name.'" Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, Mogan was the first to speak, "I can't understand this kind of notification request first, how can you prove to me that you are Lucifer Lestus?" ”

The wizard's attention is off topic.

Notifications...... Style? ”

"You can understand that you don't give any choice to tell me about it, this move."

Mogan also knew that his habitual use of words was not something that the natives of the continent could not be heard normally, especially since they seemed to pay more attention to strange details and lived in an isolated kingdom and city-state......

No, he's just claiming to be the king there—and Mogan realizes he's come to a conclusion too soon.

Although he didn't show it on his face, Mo Gan was a little annoyed, but it wasn't entirely because of the current situation.

It's because he has been observing face-to-face for so long, and he hasn't seen any hints of wealth and power from this wizard.

In Mogan's daily experience, the more high-ranking a person should be, the more difficult it is to figure out and be wary of. Although scheming is not a necessity, the reason for maintaining this status is also part of personal strength.

Rao is the king, and he can't think of any reference materials he needs to prove that he is himself. The wizard looked down and searched silently for a moment, but found almost nothing, only to hold the lord's badge and tentatively display it in front of Mogan's eyes.

"This pattern, I don't know if it will be taught in the basic course of the Kingdom of Cole......"

"Is this badge pure gold?"

Mogan suddenly interrupted. His mother, a close friend of the queen and herself raised under the tutelage of court teachers, knew of course what a lord's coat of arms should be.

It's just that that's not the question he really wants to get answers to.

"Kim?" The wizard was a little confused, "I've never cared about this. ”

He weighed his weight and raised his other hand to brush it over the top of the badge.

Suddenly, a light blue flame first rose out of thin air on the wizard's palm, wandering around the badge that rose in the air, and the golden lumpy object dissolved into a liquid surging with golden rays, hovering in the wizard's palm.

The fingertips suddenly retracted, the flames instantly turned into frost, and the ball quickly condensed into a metal ball with the action of grasping.

When it was over, the ball hung in the air and quickly took on its original shape as the meditation was contemplated. The lustrous metal seemed to turn into a kneading dough, condensed on its own, and returned to the wizard's hand intact.

And the wizard's hand was as clear as the bone joints just now, slender and white, from the fingertips to the palms.

- Blazing heat enough to melt gold, but it was cleverly manipulated from a safe distance by such an understatement action.

Moganmo counted the sights.

In addition to the most basic telekinesis, there are also fire-inducing techniques, frost spells, reduction techniques, and teleportation techniques that I saw before. Spells can be cast smoothly, and even the opposite types of counterparts are not hindered.

Recalling these processes, Mogan had to admit that if it wasn't for the well-known genius mage in front of him, he would have to be an idle impostor.

Not only did he have to anticipate the tricks he could use to verify King Lestus's only overt traits, but he also had to waste all sorts of high-precision magic scrolls in order to deceive the trust of a young merchant who was only familiar with a particular spell.

If that's the case, it's an exaggeration.

But this kind of situation is more bullshitical than the telecom fraud in his previous life, "Qin Shi Huang sincerely invited heroes to invest in the army, and the big brother on the list was established as a national teacher", which really made Mo Gan have to maintain basic vigilance.

Even if this is true, what kind of strange brain circuits or events can make a king inexplicably make such a request and come all the way to find him?

Mogan had always believed that the desire to inquire was a dangerous source of death, but at least for the moment, he was even a little curious.

"Since you have given this sincerity, I am willing to believe it...... But can you tell me that you are Lucifer Lestus himself, and why did you find someone to kill you? Why? Why am I the person you are looking for? ”

Rather than verifying, let's first ask some of the biggest slots in the words.

"Maybe it's more complicated, but that's probably it." Lucifer also seems to realize that this is a relatively misunderstood statement, "The root cause is that I have fallen under a spell. ”

"What?"

"Many years ago, I was divided into two entities by a spell. You can understand it this way, we have the same abilities as we look and we have different personalities. He has taken possession of the kingdom of Lestus, and I need to find someone to kill the other me. ”

Mogan cautiously pointed out the question, "Since you have the same abilities, why don't you solve this doppelganger yourself?" ”

Even if Lucifer Lestus, who controls the kingdom, is extremely powerful, if there is a clone who is exactly the same as him, and he is not the hated tyrant, he can unite with other mages and even the country's army to directly unite and duel.

If you have a lot of people, you can win, so why find a businessman like him who has nothing special except for bloodline and small money?

If it was for him to lobby the queen, who was equivalent to half of his godmother, to send troops to fight and establish a cooperative relationship, Mogan would understand.

After all, compared to other principalities, the Kingdom of Kol is the only powerful principality that has not directly clashed with the Kingdom of Lestus in the past hundred years.

However, His Excellency Lestus apparently did not know anything about this.

Up to now, Mogan also senses that there is a certain amount of plausibility in the wizard's statement. At least the Lord Lestus he was facing did not look like the cruel and ambitious person who murdered his biological mother to ascend to the throne.

Or rather, it's completely different.

Of course, this may be just a façade.

When it comes to this question, Lucifer is hesitant.

"According to common sense, I can indeed duel with my other self. But we are two different consciousnesses, and whenever the two sides meet, the fusion cannot be avoided, and the outside world cannot interfere with which consciousness can prevail, and in the future, they will live and die together, and there is no turning back. Because of this, I had to avoid the existence of another self and find another turn before I could get back. ”

"You mean, I'm an insurance company you've chosen?"

"Insurance?" His Majesty's focus was very biased, but before Mogan could explain the term, Lucifer also found that it was just an incomprehensible emotion, and he didn't need to pay too much attention to it, "If you have any other questions, you can just ask." ”

"Anything can be spoken?"

Lucifer nodded, "I'm the one who asks for help. As you can see, I am not an unreasonable tyrant in the widely known sense, and I am willing to pay what I can in exchange for your help - and if I take my advice, I will do my best to be honest with you. ”

It seems that he is very self-aware of his reputation.

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, it is better to use the type of statement that you are actually King Lestus's secret twin brother, ready to look for a way to overthrow the tyranny of your relatives, rather than this complicated and strange statement."

Lucifer was stunned.

This expression told Mogan that it was the first time he had discovered that such a workaround was more convincing than trying to unravel some unheard of and bizarre spell by proving that he was the mysterious king of Lestus.

"In that case, Lord Lestus, why don't you go to the door first, and I'll make you a pot of herbal tea."

Mogan Grande never does a loss-making business, if not even just a business.

As long as it is profitable, even if he can determine that the other party's expectations will never be fulfilled by himself, a gold coin enthusiast who is waiting for the opportunity will not let go of the excellent opportunity to get involved and seek benefits.
