Chapter 67 10 a
Richard returned to the study, quietly watching the entire post-80s Shaolin abbot member login to go to Kalando without pop-ups, the enmity he had with the Holy Tree Dynasty was definitely not small, just looking at the Holy Tree Dynasty willing to spend so much money, just to exchange for a few fragments of Midalen, you can know how important these fragments are to them. And in the plans of the Holy Tree Dynasty, it can be seen that the Son of God is equally important. Now that at least the plan for the Son of God has been completely destroyed by Richard, how can the royal family of the Holy Tree Dynasty not be angry?
Richard's previous enemies, such as Schumpeter, Mensa, Joseph, and even Fort Welling, were not a fraction of the Holy Tree Dynasty's royal family and the Holy Radiance Church in terms of their combined strength.
But in the face of such a huge enemy, Richard was no longer afraid, but in the depths of strong hatred, there was an irrepressible excitement. His gaze was always on a border between the Holy Alliance and the Holy Tree Dynasty. The terrain here is complex, with many nobles, large, medium and small families intertwined, making the politics of this area extremely complicated, and today's allies are likely to be tomorrow's enemies. In this vast area of more than 100,000 square kilometers, the political territory is constantly changing, and it will be very different in a few years. In recent years, most of the changes in the territory have been related to Ellie and Duke Solam. Before becoming partners with Richard, Ellijie had changed her title from viscount to earl on her own. Now she is closely integrated with Richard, and she has a steady stream of support from Richard. In the space of more than a year, Richard had given Ellie 2,000 heavily armed cavalry and an additional 5,000 troops for her. Richard's own Akmund Infantry Knights and more than 100 Constructed Knights are also ready for reinforcements. It stands to reason that Ellie's strength has more than tripled, but her progress is not much faster than in the past.
One reason is that the minor nobles in this area are afraid of her sudden increase in strength, and many of them have joined forces, and even some of the former enemies have put aside their disputes for the time being and are united against Ellie. Another reason is that Ellijie is also unwilling to show her edge excessively, so as not to incur a full-scale blow from the Holy Tree Dynasty. Therefore, she has always kept the war process within the scope of regional conflicts.
Richard weighed the pros and cons repeatedly, and finally felt that it was too risky to launch an all-out war against the nobles of the Holy Tree Dynasty now. Now his rear is not stable, and many branch families are only temporarily attached to him, and if he suffers a heavy defeat in the war, Richard's title as the new king of Akmund will be shaken.
Finally, Richard sighed heavily, ready to give up the war. The latest chapter of this book is first published in the war between Shuhe and the Holy Tree Dynasty, and there is not much benefit in winning, but the consequences of losing are quite severe.
At this moment, Richard's eyebrows suddenly raised slightly, and he said lightly: "Come out, what are you still hiding?"
A figure emerged from the shadows and floated through the window into the study. It was a man whose whole body was wrapped in black robes, and his face was completely shrouded in darkness, and it was impossible to see what it looked like. But he has a rough and fierce momentum, like a general who has killed from thousands of troops, not like a killer sneaking in the dark.
As soon as he entered the study, he took a step silently and stood between Richard and the weapon rack. Richard's extermination, divine slashing, elven long knife, and fate twins are all placed on the weapon rack, and the man's action is very hostile.
Richard looked at him, and his eyes suddenly spewed out a light like flames. The man snorted, and suddenly wrapped his black robe tightly, and a strange force field floated around his body, blocking most of the power of Richard Insight. But Richard still knew a lot of information, including his general level of vindictiveness. The man's fighting spirit is somewhere between the Sanctuary and the legendary, and the power of time is actually hidden in his nature, which is one of the most obvious characteristics of the Eternal Dragon Palace Knight.
Richard had already counted, and asked, "Is there anything to do with me?" and if you want to do something unpleasant, I advise you to give up the idea and leave at once. I've been in a bad mood lately!"
The man spoke, his voice hoarse and ugly: "Don't you want to ask who sent me?"
Richard said lightly: "You won't say it if you ask." Even if my enemies sent you, that's nothing. They attacked me from the shadows, just because they knew they had no chance of winning in a head-to-head duel. โ
The man smiled and said, "You have strong self-confidence. But first, let me see if you have the strength to match it!"
As he spoke, the man had a dull dagger in his hand, which seemed to stab at Richard slowly. As soon as the short sword came out, a large area of golden lines suddenly lit up on the originally gray sword blade, which was the man's fighting spirit attached to the sword, and it had already shown a substantial effect! Richard felt a slight pang in his heart, the fighting spirit that could be substantiated was either extremely strong or had special power, and this kind of Sacred Domain powerhouse was one level higher than that of ordinary Sacred Domain. Even among the people who are called strong on the battlefield of the Peerless Domain, there are also a few who cannot reach the realm of the essence of the fighting spirit.
Richard didn't have a sword, but he stretched out his right hand!
His right hand was already blood-colored, and there was a little red light on the tip of his index finger that was as bright as fire, and with Richard swinging his hand, a half-meter-long blood-colored edge appeared in front of his fingertip, silently hitting the short sword!
The short sword was instantly covered with a layer of blood, and then pieces shattered, and only one hilt remained in the man's hand. The man froze for a moment, keeping the sword forward and stabbing forward, looking at Richard, then at the hilt of the sword in his hand, and then at Richard. After repeating this several times, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "What a powerful power to destroy miรจ! This is your real name ability?"
Richard slowly lowered his right hand, put his blood-lit right hand into his pocket, and did not answer the man's question, but said, "Now I can tell me your intentions, right? I don't think my enemy can send the high-ranking knight of the Eternal Dragon Palace, Shennong's Demon Life, read the full text." โ
The man smiled and said, "You're smart. It was Van Lin who called me here and asked me to bring you a message. โ
He raised his hands, and an hourglass of time appeared in them. But unlike all the hourglasses Richard had ever seen, this hourglass was actually purple and black. The hourglass of time shattered silently, and the purple and black that spilled out spread out, enveloping the entire study. Richard suddenly had a strange sensation, just like when he was sacrificing in the Temple of the Eternal Dragon. So he knew that the study was actually in another time and space.
Fan Lin's figure appeared in the study, she looked at Richard, and said, "Richard, I can only talk to you in this way, because what I want to say next is also unspeakable. You have to memorize everything I say, because I can only say it once. Before leaving, Quicksand gave me this thing, saying that it was found in your exclusive plane. I've been researching it for a long time to parse out a small amount of rule information from it, but it's enough for me to be sure that it's the Mark of Doom. โ
"Mark of Doom?" Richard remembered that after getting the object from the idol of the Highland God of War, Quicksand had said that it was most likely a Mark of Doom. But then she didn't explain what the Doom Mark was, she just asked for it, saying she wanted to study it.
"In the deepest depths of Time and Plane, there is a mysterious race. Some call them marauders, others reapers. Whatever the name, they have been shown to be associated with the destruction of countless planes. Once they appear, they will fully invade the target plane, and in a short period of time they can conquer the entire plane, and then that plane will be dragged into the darkness, out of the divine power of the Eternal and Time Dragons, and become part of the dark region. Thousands of years have passed, and no one knows where they came from or where they are going. It's not even clear if they're of the same race. What we can confirm is that once a plane becomes their target, some doomsday marks will appear in that plane. Not all doomsday marks are the same, but they are prophecies and harbingers. Because their appearance heralded complete destruction, these things were called the Mark of Doom in the Temple of the Eternal Dragon. โ
Van Lin continued: "The Mark of Doom comes in many forms, it can be a piece of jewelry, a weapon, a work of art, or even a person or some other creature, the latest chapter in the all-out war of the Empire's Resurgence. Once they appear, it means that the Reaper will appear. โ
Richard was taken aback: "My Faro will be ruined?"
Fan Lin nodded and said, "What can't be determined now is time. โ
This was the news that shocked Richard, and he immediately asked, "Is there no way to deal with them?"
"The Reapers are very difficult to defeat because so far there is very little information about them. They have the ability to influence and cut off the plane's passages, and once they appear in a plane on a large scale, that plane will completely lose contact with the outside world. Then it will be dragged and moved towards the Dark Lands, just like I just showed you. The only good news is that they can only destroy one plane at a time. When a plane is destroyed, they disappear entirely, until the next Doomsday Mark appears. โ
Richard was silent, a race capable of moving planes!
"And how much time do I have?" asked Richard.
"By my standards, it's short-lived. But by your standards, it should be a long way to go. You have at least ten years left. โ
"Ten years...... Not enough. Richard scratched at his hair, suddenly became a little irritated, and said, "How can this be?
"It's ...... Your destiny. Like quicksand, she was destined to go to the Dark Regions. โ
"Fate?" Richard suddenly sneered.
When Fan Lin saw it, she just sighed: "Richard, the kind of power behind fate is not something we can resist. โ
Richard didn't answer, but said softly: "Ten years, it's a long time." โ
