Chapter 1254 - Justified (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The High Priest walked slowly out of the main hall, Cameron following him with his head bowed.
Silent all the way.
In front of the small courtyard, the high priest suddenly stopped, looked up at the blue sky, and said faintly, "Cameron." My apprentice. ”
"Yes, teacher. Cameron hurriedly replied.
The high priest said slowly, "This matter ...... You're doing it wrong. ”
"Teacher. Cameron was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly became nervous.
He hurriedly explained, "I ......"
The High Priest raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and said softly, "Too hasty, Cameron, you are too impatient. ”
Cameron took a deep breath and pressed the nervousness of his head patiently, and then said in a deep voice: "Teacher, you have great ambitions, and what you are planning is the great cause of my eternal life. Chapter 1254 (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Seeing that victory is imminent, they must not be stopped by their selfish and short-sighted nobles. ”
The High Priest shook his head and said, "Cameron, you are wrong. However, you are also right. ”
He turned around, looked into the eyes of his most beloved disciple, and said, "We are eternal beings with infinite lives.
So, we can be a little slower and a little steady.
For the survival of our immortal spells, I can wait for a thousand years, even if I wait another three or five years, what does it matter?
Cameron ......"
The lich Cameron's eyes flickered a few times, and finally slowly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes." ”
"You have been in the world for too long, and you have let the human mind influence you. The high priest knew that he was unwilling, but he didn't care, but continued to say lightly: "It's my fault, I shouldn't let you do these things." ”
Cameron hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I volunteered. ”
The high priest turned to look at him and said, "I accepted you as an apprentice because you have a talent for immortal spells, not because you know politics......
The sinister nature of the human heart. Terrifying than the most evil dark spells. “
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and his eyes 1254 Chapter 1254 looked into the distance, as if he had thought of something far away.
It took a while. Only then did he react, then smiled slightly wryly, shook his head, and continued: "We have endless lives, we wait, this is our greatest advantage.
Even if this expedition fails again, what does it matter?
We can save up for another thousand years~!"
The lich Cameron looked at the High Priest in surprise. He didn't expect that the High Priest didn't seem to care too much about the upcoming war.
The High Priest said, "For us Eternals, the greatest weapon is not some peerless forbidden spell, nor is it an ultimate spell, but ...... Time~!
Time is the most powerful force in the universe.
The vicissitudes of life, the stars change.
Whatever it is, in the face of time. It's all extremely small.
Although we claim to be immortal, we are not immortal in the face of time. ”
"The eternal does not die forever. Cameron shuddered.
as a descendant of the High Priest. He has also been studying the issue of eternal life, and faintly, he has doubts about his 'eternal life' in his heart, but out of fear in his heart, he does not dare to think deeply.
Hearing the introduction of the high priest at this time confirmed what he had in mind. Instead of being happy, I was even more frightened - the fear of death.
The high priest noticed that he seemed to be frightened, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he had succeeded in playing a mischievous child.
"But......" he added, as he changed his tone, "but." Like eternal time relative to us undead. Compared to ordinary mortals, we are eternal beings.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about competing with them. Time is on our side.
If you fail, gather strength and do it again. If you fail again, gather strength again. Do it again. No big deal.
But......
But as long as we can succeed once, necromancy will rule the entire world.
I don't care if it's a thousand years, two thousand years, or three thousand years, my goal is only final victory. And we will inevitably win in the end~!"
Cameron suddenly realizes that their lich has infinite life, even if it is defeated repeatedly?
As long as you stay alive, you can get up again and fight again......
Stick to it, and there will always be a day when you can succeed.
And their enemies only have a ridiculously short life of a few decades, and no matter how amazing and brilliant the characters are, they can't stop the magic of time in the end.
Were the Three Sages of a thousand years ago powerful?
It's very powerful, Niu 13 to the kind of power that can't work.
The three of them joined forces, and even the High Priest of the Undead had to retreat.
In the end, they won the war and drove the undead out of the Terran continent.
But what about the result?
A thousand years later, all those great powerhouses have turned to dust, and the shadow of the High Priest still hangs over the sky of the Terran continent.
Their juniors were all trembling, waiting for the second war to be waged by the same man that year.
From this point of view, all human victories are only temporary in the face of the lich's endless lifespan.
In the current Holy Light Continent, there is no figure comparable to the Three Sages.
Once the war resumes, who will be able to stop our mighty army of the undead, and who will be able to stop the High Priest of the Dead?
It was as if he saw a dense army of the undead, covering the earth and obscuring the entire sky. Turn the day into darkness. One by one, human cities collapsed and turned into a raging sea of fire......
For a moment, Cameron's already cold chest seemed to have a surge of blood.
He couldn't help but whisper: "Long live our clan~!"
Seeing that he only gave a few words, Cameron immediately understood, and looked at him with great appreciation, and said, "Long live my clan~!"
Then he continued, "So, my dear disciple. Don't look at the problem with the short life of human beings, with limited eyes.
Don't be blinded by the gossip of mortals, and don't be fooled by their politics.
We are an eternal race, so we should focus on a hundred years, a thousand years......"
Cameron bowed to the ground in disbelief and said, "Yes, teacher, I understand." ”
The High Priest nodded and said, "Your mood." I can understand that. However, don't be in a hurry, and deal with the nobles of the Semitic tribe with both loose and tight.
They can't be left to their senses. Nor can they be pressured to bounce back.
We Eternals have never been qualified politicians and military men.
It is impossible to be a city lord, a governor, or a commander to lead a battle.
Compared to the pursuit of the ultimate mystery of magic, worldly power is only an obstacle.
We rule the Semitic race, we rule the world, and ultimately we have to rely on their mortals. ”
After the high priest's suggestion, Cameron was already at this time.
Originally. He was also anxious about the destruction of Lorraine by the high priests, and turned a blind eye to the passive slackness of the nobles.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that this qiē was in the hands of the high priest.
However, there is still a slight doubt hidden in Cameron's heart: although he is full of confidence in the future war.
However, this time their enemies have also changed, and they are no longer just elemental mages and priests of light and holy arts.
In the human continent, there is a force that has sprung up and grown rapidly. Changing the world of spellcasters that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.
That's the alchemy of the human race~!
It was originally just a tiny branch of magic, an insignificant piece of grass in the wizarding world.
In the past, when it came to who was engaged in alchemy, everyone would be extremely disdainful. A condescending view at a 60-degree angle.
But no one could have imagined that it would burst out with such great power.
In just a few years, it has expanded to a considerable scale.
Many low-level mages with limited talents who should have been idle all their lives have turned to alchemy...... Phew, baba, crooked ways.
Those dogs don't do their jobs all day, trying to develop some weird things.
If that's all it is, that's fine. However, some of the crystallization of alchemy is still very effective.
This made them, the orthodox magicians who had been studying all day long and practicing hard, were about to vomit blood.
Especially artillery, which is the most prominent representative of alchemy.
The power of each blow is equivalent to the full force of an intermediate mage.
And you can change the attack method at will, and there are special ones for siege. There are also those that are specifically used to kill people, and they are said to be very powerful.
What's more important is that the artillery only needs ammunition to fire non-stop, and no matter how powerful the mage is, he has to rest when he runs out of mana, and he can't move for several days.
To add insult to the dismay of all spellcasters, the cannon can also be crafted indefinitely. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands are not impossible.
But there are only a few dark mages above the middle level, and there are only more than 20,000 lichs.
Compared to artillery, the disadvantages of mages in war are very obvious.
In Cameron's opinion, how could a human mage allow someone to create such an evil weapon to challenge the absolute dominance of the mages over power?
It's a suicidal act.
This is absolutely not allowed in the Semitic continent.
From this alone, it can be seen that the human elemental mages have slackened and degenerated.
But Cameron can only keep this question in his heart for the time being.
Cameron knew that the High Priest would only answer their questions if he had studied the problem thoroughly and put forward his own ideas.
The high priest waved his hand and said, "Go back and let the two factions fight on their own, you only need to take a light touch on the unbalanced balance at the right time." ”
Cameron understood the future course of action, and his heart suddenly felt a lot lighter, "Yes, thank you, teacher." ”
The High Priest let out an "um" and walked straight back to his cabin.
It wasn't until the High Priest disappeared behind the dark door that Cameron straightened up and turned away.
When the High Priest entered the room, there was already a man sitting at the simple table, who, like the lich, was wrapped in black robes and looked mysterious.
The high priest seemed to know of his arrival, nodded slightly, and said, "Hello, Mr. Haddou." ”
Haddou, who was wrapped in a black robe, raised his head, revealing a gray and thin face, and smiled: "Human beings have been unconsciously wanting to sit down when they see a chair for a long time, and it seems that it will take me a while to get used to this body. ”
The high priest smiled slightly and said, "It always takes a while to transition, and Sir has done a very good job." ”
Hadu raised his hand, looked at his thin palm, and said, "It's clear that there is no life, but it can be the same as usual." Necromancy is subtle. ”
The High Priest said leisurely, "In fact, necromancy stems from people's pursuit of eternal life.
Sir didn't come to me today to discuss spells, did he?"
Haddou shook his head and said, "I just heard the news that we're in some trouble with the nails we buried in humans. ”
The High Priest finally showed a moving expression. "What's going on?"
Haddou spread his hands and said, "He seems to have gone to fight with Lorraine, but he was deceived by Lorraine." ”
"It's Lorraine again~!" the high priest frowned and said, "He seems to be everywhere." Doesn't it mean that Lorraine has been successfully expelled?
How could it be at his hands again?"
Hadu chuckled and said, "Lorraine set up a game on their own turf, and they jumped in with self-righteousness. ”
The High Priest snorted angrily and said, "Greedy humans. ”
Haddou sighed. said: "Our nails seem to be unable to resist and are about to be launched in advance." ”
The high priest was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Stop him, this fool will disrupt our whole plan." ”
Hadu shook his head and said, "According to the time when the news came, I'm afraid it's already late...... The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.
The sun scorched the earth mercilessly. The temperature has risen to the limit.
The slate is hot in the sun, and a drop of water will be steamed dry the moment it falls.
In addition to knowing the noisy voice, Qiē seemed weak. Such a hot noon is not suitable for people to come out for activities.
But there are exceptions.
A long convoy stopped on the side of the road, forming a defensive circle.
Outside the convoy was a circle of heavily armed samurai, sword in hand, looking cautiously at the opposite side.
Opposite them, only a dozen paces apart, a large group of people surrounded the convoy on the outer three floors.
Most of the people surrounding the convoy were civilians, but there were also some samurai with swords and swords, wandering through the crowd, one eye after another closely watching the convoy in the center of the circle.
The windows of a beautiful luxury motorhome were closed and thick curtains obscured the windows. This season is extremely unusual.
At this time, people are eager to throw away the carriage and bring in the flowing wind to cool themselves, and closing the doors and windows will only make the compartment hot like a steamer.
Probably only unmanned cars do this.
But the curtain behind the window suddenly moved, and a small slit was opened, and one eye peered out through the gap. Then he scolded fiercely and said, "Bastard~!"
In his sight, a large group of people surrounded him, some holding signs, some waving their arms, shouting at him with angry expressions.
The crowd was standing under the scorching sun, ignoring the hot weather, surrounding the convoy, gritting their teeth one by one, as if they wanted to rush in at any moment.
The samurai escorting the convoy were all in front, flashing their blades and staring at them with fierce eyes.
Although separated by a distance and a layer of glass, you can still hear the noisy shouts outside the carriage, and all the voices are shouting in unison, "Pay back~!"
"De Rossi, pay back the money~!"
"If you don't pay back the money, you will pay off the debt with Xi'er. (It seems to be a strange sound...... Hiding behind the curtain was none other than Son De Rossi.
The heat inside the carriage was unbearable, and just staying inside, sweat was pouring out like a spring.
The always dashing son of De Rossi could only be naked, and big drops of sweat crackled and dripped on the ground.
Not to mention the coldness of this place, he couldn't even get out of the car.
It was very disturbing to be blocked and forced into debt, and the sultry air made De Rossi's mood even worse, and he was manic and wanted to catch someone and beat him hard.
When he hadn't left the Maple Leaf Danlin, he heard that he had lost all his money in the stock market, and the people who asked for debt had caught up with the Maple Leaf Danlin.
Don't look at him as the only son of the duke's family, but it is natural to repay debts.
What's more, the creditors that De Rossi borrowed money from were not fuel-efficient lamps, most of them were nobles from the Kingdom of Leiria, rich merchants, large landowners, and even some nobles from neighboring countries.
In order to raise a large amount of cash in a short period of time, so that he could invest in the stock market and make money, when he borrowed money, he promised a very high interest rate.
After hearing that he had lost everything, the creditors who were still waiting to collect the money at home couldn't sit still.
They are also greedy for usury, and almost threw their own net worth and life into it, and when they heard that they didn't have a penny to lose, they were all so anxious that their mouths were foaming and they were in a hurry.
There are also a few older people with high blood lipids who were pumped at that time, and those who were lucky not to be angry to death also fell into a half-body failure.
The originally peaceful and quiet kingdom of Leiria suddenly set off a turmoil like an earthquake and a tsunami.
The first thing the creditors thought of was to ask Duke De Rossi to repay the money, and Duke De Rossi immediately caught him blind, and immediately ran away with his lover without knowing what to do.
There is also a part of the treasury tax in this money, and the prince of De Rossi also knew that the matter was important, so he hurriedly returned from the maple leaf danlin to stabilize the situation and think about countermeasures.
But before he could enter the kingdom of Leiria, he was surrounded by creditors who had been waiting for a long time.
For this reason, the son of De Rossi deliberately did not take the sea route, but took a detour by land.
Unexpectedly, his strategy had no effect at all, and he was arrested as soon as he arrived in a neighboring country.
A few people came out of the crowd surrounding the convoy, cautiously came to the middle, and said loudly: "Prince De Rossi, we know that you are inside, and we have a good relationship on weekdays, so you can come out and say something." ”
Prince De Rossi hesitated for a moment, looking at Andre's panicked expression and Marquis Gower's frightened pale face, he could only sigh helplessly and said, "I'll go down and have a look." ”
The Marquis of Gower grabbed the prince of De Rossi tightly and said, "No, how can we have money for them, looking at their appearance, it is likely to do it directly." ”
De Rossi hated it in his heart and said, "If you don't go, they will really have to do it." ”
The samurai in the crowd on the opposite side had already come out and gathered to prepare for the attack.
"I'll go down and drag them for a while, and we'll talk about it when it's dark. The prince of De Rossi explained, put on a piece of clothing and stepped out of the carriage.
Seeing that the long-awaited Prince De Rossi was finally willing to show up, the creditors who surrounded him breathed a sigh of relief.
Several negotiators bowed to De Rossi and greeted with a sneer: "Hello, Son." “
"Hello...... De Rossi hummed flatly, pretending not to know, and said, "Schwartz, what do you mean by you surrounding me here?"
The creditor Shuvatz smiled on his face, but scolded with hatred in his heart, and said secretly: You turtle grandson will not know what it means, no matter what, it is the uncle who owes the money now, as long as I can get back the capital, I will be this grandson.
Then he said: "Son, we don't mean anything else, it's just that the account between us, isn't it time to settle it." ”
"I ......"
As he was about to speak, several fashionably dressed young men, both men and women, suddenly popped up next to him.
They made their way through the crowd and came straight to De Rossi and Schwartz.
Just as De Rossi was looking at them with puzzled eyes, one of the young women said, "Hello gentlemen, we are reporters from the magazine "Ne Economic Observer", I heard that there is news here, can I interview you?"
"We are reporters from the Finance Department of Red Maple Leaf. Another man said loudly.
"I'm a reporter for the local newspaper Standard-Bearer. ”
De Rossi's son was suddenly shocked, so angry that he gritted his teeth and cracked, and scolded in his heart: Lorraine, you are ruthless~!rq!!
