Hmm, wait a minute, change it later
"So, what is the reason why this Great Druid has come from afar?"
Sitting up straight, Edward looked over the wooden table in front of him and spoke.
Now the place where the telemancer was sitting was not the inside of his magic tower, but only a room in a tavern near the city gate, and the owner was flattered to empty the private room on the top floor, so at this moment, in this huge room, only Edward's table was left."
On the surface, it seems that this is not good for meeting the enemy, there is no protective circle, there is no trap, there is no place to hide the right people, as long as it is a person with some skills, there is a great opportunity to come and go freely.
But in fact, this is not an omission
Edward knew very well that the rudimentary defensive circles in his magic tower now would not be of much use to the druid in front of him, but would expose his shabby heritage, so it was better to simply choose a place without the slightest preparation, and he could also show his sincerity in turn.
That's right, it's 'this' druid who is sitting in front of Edward today, and there is only one.
An old man.
He was on a cane made of whisk wood, smoothed and blackened, and draped over a long cloak, the hem of which was completely dragged to the ground. Despite the druid's traditional, heavy, gray fabric, it always looked like dust and a little rotting tree bark. But there seemed to be a grace around the old man, even though his eyebrows and beards were gray, and his face was wrinkled and furrowed, but if you looked closely, you could notice the sculptural contours of his face. Obviously, if you remove the carving of time, this old man should be extremely handsome. Personable character.
But it's not all.
"Ah, Lord Edward, you are so angry, I am here today just to apologize to you for being that naughty boy of Leia, and when he did things, he was really unstable. On behalf of the members of the Sons of Jinfeng, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to you, because of a small mistake in communication, there were some unpleasant misunderstandings between us. If any damage arises from this. and compensation, we are willing to bear it. โ
The old man's deep wrinkles pieced together a pious look, and he bent respectfully to the young man in front of him, his forehead almost touching the table. And when he raised his head, he suddenly laughed a little embarrassed:
"Ahh I'm so embarrassed to introduce myself late. Lord Edward. I am Monztok, the son of Jin Feng and the current Dolan...... Well, that's just a title, you can understand being one of the leaders. โ
"Hello. Edward stared at him, symbolically.
"I'm sorry, but this young lady of the dark elves. There was no harm. Just to prevent her from getting entangled in this misunderstanding and causing unnecessary trouble, so she restricted her freedom a little. โ
The old man didn't seem to care about the mindmancer's attitude, but just nodded. Then the woman, who had been standing still behind him, shuddered slightly, looked up a little dazedly, and then, like a frightened bird, jumped to her feet, and jumped to Edward's side in one step, knocking over a few chairs on the way.
Edward reached out and took the slightly trembling soft wattle of Drow, and gently sent a heartfelt word to soothe the horror in her heart. At the same time, she carefully flipped the tentacles of the spirit to determine if she was forbidden by some special spell.
However, it seems that the old druid did not use any insurance means, at least Drow's spirit did not seem to be affected by any magic, and even the few magic items on his body were not damaged in the slightest.
"Since you said it was a regrettable misunderstanding...... Well, let's just take it as a misunderstanding. โ
The other party was so polite and respectful, which greatly surprised Edward's expectations, for a while, he didn't know how to deal with it, paused, and said tentatively: "Since it didn't cause too regrettable results, then I will also send your companions back, but you know, on the battlefield, after all, some things are controlled by law......"
In fact, Edward was furious and ruthless, and the druids actually suffered heavy losses, with at least half of the casters killed on the spot.
However, the old man, who called himself Monztok, didn't seem to care about it.
"It doesn't matter, Lord Edward, since they were the ones who provoked first, they naturally bear the main responsibility. If one is to blame, one can only blame them for their cursed fate and lack of awareness of the dangers of power. โ
The old man shook his head and sighed, and gently picked up a cup of rose tea from the table.
"Well, Lord Edward, your strength, by the standards of a psychic warlock, is already quite extraordinary, and you already have at least a sixth-level ability to manifest your abilities, right? No, or how long it will take to be able to touch the threshold of seventh-level psionic energy, in addition, you also have some knowledge of magic, oh, the spell-casting ability of the three-ring demon, this is really amazing, if I remember correctly, usually a young man like you, with this level of ability, can already bring the crown of talent, and now, this ability has become a kind of auxiliary. Alas, it seems that under the wheel of the times, the dry bones of the old talents will always be crushed......"
"Your Excellency, Elder, you are too polite. โ
The Psychic Warlock's eyes narrowed slightly, although he knew that since the old man he was facing could become the Great Elder of the Druid, he naturally couldn't be a general, but the power of the royal power had some kind of wonderful cover effect on the wearer, which could shield most of the detection of prophecy spells, and the psychic ability was not as easy to perceive as the caster's demon...... But now in front of this old man, he almost didn't play any role, and the other party just swept his eyes and saw himself clearly!
This kind of cognition made him can't help but carefully observe the other party again, and the other party also looked back calmly, and the towering eyebrows still formed a thick shadow. Let his bright eyes hide in the shadows, and sparkle only softly, not aggressively.
However, Edward barely had to think about it, whether it was Truss, Marilyn, or Iriel, or even a few Psisock Elders he had seen in the Dark Regions...... The strength of the other party will never be inferior to any of them, even if it is still slightly inferior to the storage zร i like Albert or Hawking. However, it should be enough to use it as his current opponent.
"Hehehe, it's not a compliment, but maybe it's also a matter of course. After all, you are the oracle chosen by His Majesty Xio. It is one of his manifestations in this world. Inherited his legacy. Therefore, it is not very strange that Tianzong is talented. โ
The old man's pupils were a gray-green color, but his eyes moved slightly, but there was a glimmer of wisdom, and he seemed to guess Edward's thoughts, but he didn't say anything. just took a casual sip of rose tea: "Lord Divine Messenger, when he was old and young, he used to travel around the 6th year, and he didn't return to his hometown until he was seventy-one years old. Therefore, it is natural to know a little bit about some things that others do not know much, not to mention that this method of observing others, as long as it is tempered by time, can grow to some extent. โ
"Wait a minute, please. Edward's brow furrowed slightly, interrupting the old man's words: "I don't understand, it seems that one of your companions, named Carl Ross, had said something similar to me before, but I'm sorry, I don't know much about this matter, and I don't think I have any special connection with the Shiloh you call it." โ
"Well, well, when people are old, they have lost the mood to enjoy this feeling of too sweetness, and if I could, I would actually like to drink the tea of our druids themselves, not with flowers, but with the leaves of certain trees, and a mellow aftertaste. The old man didn't seem to pay attention to Edward's boundaries, but just tasted the mellow tea to himself.
After taking a sip and tasting it slowly, he put down the black tea in his hand and chuckled: "Ah, people are getting older, and there are more words...... So let me come back to our communication, with all due respect, Lord Edward, you mean that you don't know much about your power. Especially that, the power that His Majesty Shilo has passed on to you?"
"Either a lot or a little, I always thought that more and less were just relative concepts. Edward's heart moved, but he didn't give the other party an accurate answer.
"That's true, then, the old man has to sell off the insignificant knowledge I know. The old man smiled mysteriously: "According to our judgment, your power has not yet recovered its full picture, but there is no doubt that the power it generated has begun to cause the entire main material plane to fall into a kind of interference, which is impossible not to attract the interference of those gods, but in the face of their power, how sure are you that you can protect the inheritance left by His Majesty Xiluo?"
Edward was silent for a moment.
If it were more, he wasn't sure he would be able to attract more attention, but it was obvious that he wouldn't rush to increase this kind of power again.
"The easiest way is to stop the growth of your strength, but, as far as I know, this method is different from drinking to quench your thirst. His Excellency Edward, especially in today's conditions. As if he had seen through the thoughts in his heart,
"Actually, it's not quite right to call us druids. The old man said slowly: "It should be said that we are only a branch of the druids in general, but our teachings are very different from ordinary druids. And the biggest difference is that although we also believe in nature, what we really follow is not the gods, but His Majesty Xio. โ
The other party is lying......
Edward snorted softly.
The expression, voice, and movements on the old man's face did not show the slightest flaw, however, Edward keenly caught a trace of strangeness that was only limited to the understanding of a psychic warlock. Yet even without any evidence, he chose to believe in himself.
"Will you obey my orders?you?including all your men?" Edward asked, "No conditions?"
"Yes, all the druids loyal to His Majesty Shilo, as well as the warriors, will obey your orders. โ
"No conditions?"
"There are no conditions. โ
"Even if I command you to die?"
"I don't mind you giving such an order if necessary," the old man smiled, "but you and I both know it. That's not realistic. Your Excellency Edward, that will only completely tear apart the already untenacious loyalty of the Son of Jinfeng, which is not the best choice for you, and with your wisdom, it should not be difficult to see this. โ
To say that Edward was not moved at this moment is indeed a little too untrue...... He hadn't seen much of the power of the druids, but even if they were talking about himself. This condition is also attractive enough, if you add dozens or hundreds of spellcasters...... Obediently, that's enough power to shake a traditional duke-level territory!
But the question is, is it possible? It is precisely because that power is so great, from ancient times to the present day. I'm afraid there is no precedent in this world for a group of spellcasters to directly submit a single person. Don't talk about it. There are at least two more characters that can almost match the legendary mages and others!
"Don't wonder. You are his heirs, and therefore we are your faithful followers, and you are the embodiment of Shiloh on earth, who will bring us his great will to lead us at this juncture when history is about to change again. Towards a glorious victory. โ
"However, as far as I know, your so-called emissary of Shiloh has been reincarnated several times, at least during the time when the Magic Empire ruined Miรจ. It has something to do with his existence, but from ancient times to the present, in the past 10,000 years, your several efforts have finally failed, is there nothing wrong?
"That's the arrangement of fate, we are not afraid, and every reincarnation of Shiloh will eventually bring about the turning point of our great war, they"
"Fate, fate......" Edward frowned deeply and chewed on the word slowly: "I don't like this word, because it's just an excuse, it's the most common and convenient excuse used by people who don't think about it when they face failure, but a word is a word, and it can't be a real reason." โ
"No, fate is enough to be a reason, because fate has no body, fate is elusive, but it is undeniable that fate is also real. The gods, humans, and demons all escape. Perhaps some of them do not believe that fate exists, nor does they believe that it can control all things. But in fact this is not the case, just as people are hungry to eat, sleepy to sleep, angry to kill, happy to laugh, fate is also part of the rules, it is the integration of all the rules, and faithfully carries out its own tasks in the corners of the multiverse. โ
The druid smiled and chanted softly.
"Some people think that fate is unknowable, but in fact fate is exactly that, it consists of chaotic order, a person may starve to death because he has no food to eat, he may become a pile of dried corpses, or even eventually become an evil spirit, it depends on the uncertainty of fate itself, but this is the inevitable uncertainty of the rules that can be mastered. While no one knows exactly where they're headed, even if you don't know if you're going to die from a pot falling from the sky, you should know that you should take off your clothes before going to bed at night. That's the rules, that's the order. Fate is nothing more than looking for a little bit in the order, choice, rules, and origins of numbers, silently watching, watching, guiding all people towards whatever outcome of their choices.
"So, whatever choice you make, we will all move forward, it's a matter of fate. We, mortals, strive to change. It also needs to be changed. โ
โ...... His pupils were silver, like snow, like metal. Burning with the sheen of flames. And the flame cannot come near him, but only for his servants, and his words, that is, for illustrations, do not obey, he holds the book. Holding a three-edged sword...... His face shines like the sun. I am the first, I am the last, and I am the one who lives, your king, the only king who belongs to you, I have died, I will die again, but I am also destined to be alive again...... Live forever and ever. โ
Edward chanted softly, making the eyes of the old man in front of him light up.
"So, you've heard this poem of the west wind," he said, "that's really great, so you should know that the Holy King of the Golden Elves will definitely return to the earth." The prophecies will be verified one by one. โ
"Your Excellency, you don't have to doubt old age. You're the one we're looking for. In fact, when he was young, he used to disdain the teachings of his ancestors, but now he has been obsessed for a hundred years and has no more years to live. For hundreds of years, the druids followed the principle of escapism, but gradually declined as humanity expanded. However, the prophesied old master
What exactly does the oracle say?
"In fact, the oracle has always been very simple, only to teach us, the appearance and characteristics of our Lord, to teach us, the reality to which he will eventually return,"
"Of course, Lord Edward, for your safety, the old man can send some people to serve as your special guards. They all have some superficial magical powers, and they have only just come into contact with fifth-level divine arts, but they are loyal to this faction, and I think they should be able to help you. Also, so far, our compatriots in the big 6 in various regions, also have some small forces, although it can't be called any power, but at least it can bring you a little bit of information supplement, especially for those god issues...... I watched this kid grow up with Leia, she has good abilities, but her brain is a little ...... Oh, elves, they're a bit conservative, and if I could, I wouldn't say let her come back, but let her stay in your city as a messenger between us. Or, well, she's pretty good, and you can give her any orders you want. What do you think?" )
