Section 133 The Benefits of Honesty and the Cause of Justice (I)
After meeting the two princes of Titania who have different styles and attitudes towards themselves, Solomon has one last person to meet.
In a specially placed stone chamber in the area beneath the Mogur merchants, Solomon met Olwyn.
The legendary mage was in a bad state at this time, his aura was decaying, and his face was more like the bark of a tree that was too dry to squeeze out water, and he had the illusion that he would turn to ashes at any time.
"Hehe, you're finally here. I stayed here instead of going back and dying in my magic tower, because by staying here, maybe I could see you before I died. Alwyn said, his eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he whispered, "When I was freed from Stephen's hands, you successfully destroyed the transformation of the laws of the plane. “
He stared at Solomon tightly, "I have a gut feeling that you have unlocked the secret of Paradise Lost?"
"Yes. Solomon replied honestly.
The legendary mage's body contorted spasmodically, not knowing if it was due to excitement or physical pain.
Solomon looked at Olwyn with some pity, and the reason why he chose to admit it calmly was because he could see that Olwyn's body was no longer good, and there was no possibility of even being reincarnated as a lich, because this body was "aging".
Aging is a terrible injury, but at the same time it is divided into two different properties, one is the aging of time, but it only belongs to the legendary realm, and the control of time has reached an extremely high level dù to produce the ability.
The control of time is only qualified to be reached by legendary powerhouses, and the reversal of time is the most difficult, because the most dimensional laws are involved. It can even cause irreparable damage to the plane. Because this ability has the potential to destroy the existing zài, and secondly, the addition of time. The aging caused by Time Plus is one of the rebirth abilities brought about by this ability, and the most easily generated and destroyed time-type legendary ability is Time Static, which is the easiest and relative to the first two.
However, it is not only the legendary abilities or spells of time that can achieve the effect of aging, the undead and the absorption or destruction of the life force of living beings in dark magic can achieve the effect of aging, but it is easier to crack.
Under normal circumstances, Stephen couldn't help him, but in the context of the transformation of the laws of the plane to the undead, Stephen had an overwhelming advantage. And it doesn't hurt if Orwyn is a few hundred years younger, but he is already coming to the end of his life.
"Sure enough, sue me, sue me. Olwyn's voice was hoarse.
Solomon sighed and told the former master the secret of Paradise Lost that he had obtained, satisfying his dying curiosity.
"There is nothing wrong with the information and legends left by the elves. I'm glad you told me about this before I was about to die. Alwyn let out a long breath, a look of satisfaction in his face.
Solomon stared at the legendary mage who had little left in his life, and no matter how brilliant he had been, it would be a thing of the past.
He didn't tell him all the secrets about Paradise Lost. Just tell him the stage he has now mastered.
In fact, the power of an artifact made from the rhizomes of the World Tree does not stop there. The last unfinished artifact power of Arche was to use the World Tree to actively claim the source power and create powerful creatures to provide combat power for the owner of the artifact.
However, Archer was not finally completed, and even if he transformed into a war form, he could only create a limited number of creatures, which were all familiar to the High Elves.
The reason why it was not completed smoothly is that there is not enough time, and there is an even bigger reason that the World Tree is the embodiment of the will of the plane, but the artifact power of Achetron Zào Paradise Lost is using the innate advantages of the World Tree to absorb the energy of the plane as the source force, which is very easy to conflict with the will of the plane, and it is also not in line with the worldview of the High Elves.
And the erosion and fusion of flesh and blood structures have brought unpredictable changes to Paradise Lost, this change is not clear to Solomon, but he vaguely feels afraid, this artifact may have completely escaped from the original intention of Archer when he first created it.
However, it is still possible to say part of it, it is still possible to satisfy Olwyn's curiosity before he died, after all, the other party has obtained this treasure for so many years, and it is cheaper for Solomon.
"Ahem. It was definitely a wise move for you to come to see me. The legendary mage said weakly, "Because of this, you can truly get what I promised you." ”
Solomon's eyes couldn't help but stare at him, before the war, Orwyn had even given Solomon a key to his magic tower, saying that if he unfortunately died in battle, these would be inherited by Solomon, but if he didn't die, he would get back a qiē, including Paradise Lost left on Solomon, and even Solomon's life.
"Ahem, you don't think a legendary mage is that easy to take. There was a hint of ridicule in Orwyn's eyes, "I am right to tell you, but there is something missing that is crucial, and if you don't know, with that key alone you will not only be able to get your hands on my most precious things, but you will be in danger of losing your life in the face of the most sinister traps." ”
Solomon's eyes changed slightly, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
The legendary mage told Solomon completely about his previous reservation, and reminded Solomon that his most precious thing was not the resources or magic left inside, but his notes—
Solomon spent the entire day in Olwyn's final stone chamber until the legendary mage's body was finally reduced to ashes.
The next day, the Asturian diplomatic procession began to return, with three more men, Agatha, Biskraulit, and the Red Lotus Mage.
The diplomatic effort against Titania failed, but Solomon was not discouraged, as he had thought of it before he came.
With Titania's national strength, it is enough to fight more than two dimensional wars at the same time, not to mention that they originally thought that the Fadell plane was in the bag, and now they have been stolen by the cunning Asturians, but this is the end of it.
Even the eldest prince Tristan, who took the initiative to show favor to Solomon and hinted that he might be able to cooperate, Solomon never expected much sincerity from the other party.
Maybe he wanted to use external forces to contain his legitimate and proud brother and rival, or maybe he was a deliberate deceptive method by Titania.
Even if what he said was sincere, he would have to wait until he had more influence on Fadell, otherwise it would be just a blank sentence.
The diplomatic team returned to the Asturian fortress the way they had come, the shrinking and thinning canopy of the dead along the way, and only a thin haze could be seen above the mountain nest where Solomon had nearly lost his life.
This shows that the power of the undead is constantly fading, and at this stage, whether it is the aborigines, Titania or the newly joined Asturias, they will definitely regard the remnants of the undead as a common enemy, and they are still on alert with each other for the time being, and the undead are also like a ditch between several sides, invisibly becoming a buffer.
But when the undead are basically out of the way, the conflict will naturally intensify.
"Now that diplomacy has failed, Count Solomon, what are you going to do next?" said the Heavenly Knight Sitin, "The overall strength that the Titanians have invested in this plane is much stronger than ours, even if we have Master Strauss in charge, if they are really determined to expel us, there will definitely be new legendary powerhouses coming."
"Well, Solomon, what do you think?" Strauss also said solemnly, "If you want to fight a big war with Titania because of this plane, I am afraid that you must first obtain the full support of His Majesty and the country before you can have hope, otherwise the existing forces alone will never be enough." There are still remnants of the undead, but the undead kings have retreated, and when the undead are almost destroyed, the situation will become tense. Before you returned, I had already led an expedition to the Valley of the Dead, only to reveal the remnants of their portal being destroyed. ”
"I'm not going to clash head-on with the Titanians. Solomon said slowly.
"And what are you going to do?" asked Cetine.
"For the natives, I intend to trade with them to support their righteous cause against foreign invaders. Solomon said solemnly.
Xiting was stunned for a moment, only to feel that this statement was quite ridiculous, "This, this, but ......"
If the Titanians were foreign invaders, then why weren't the Asturians?
If the rebellion of the natives of the Fadell plane against the invaders was a just cause, wouldn't it be speaking of Solomon himself?
Solomon seemed to understand the doubts in their hearts, and smiled: "Why don't you support it, we really can't confront the Titanians head-on in this plane, but we can make some trouble for them by arming the aborigines, so that those arrogant Titanians understand that maybe we don't have the strength to compete with them head-on for control of this plane, but we can let them spend much more money than expected to get what they want." And in doing so, do we have anything to lose?"
"There is no loss, on the contrary, we can make good profits through guò trade, and even, even if the aboriginal resistance is effective, we can get the same resources as guò trade. Citine laughed.
"And we don't have to do anything for the time being except trade and destroy the remnants of the dead, we don't have to occupy the new territory, which will give the Titanians an excuse to accuse us, and our forces can't guarantee that the new area can really fall under our control, we just need to ensure the survival of the current fortress, and then contact the aborigines who need to be armed, I believe that under the persecution of the Titanians, they will choose to cooperate with us." Solomon smiled happily, "And eventually, when the Titanians suffered a little, they would reconsider their current attitude."
