Chapter 177: Three Trees
Byron already knew how to use Ruona's magic crystal to track down the source of dark magic, and although he was wounded, he was not alone, and he knew that he could end the rebellion by finding Parsa's secret room to study dark magic, and it was at that time and place. Of course, with Parsa's cunning and cunning, how could they find his secret room lightly? The only thing to be thankful for is that Parsa never imagined that his former nemesis, Lord Eliad Aika, the god of wind, would actually appear at the right time to help.
The three of them passed through the black qi in the crystal, and Cheng began to conduct a sweeping search in the palace. This time, in addition to the transformation potion, they also prepared a potion of stealth magic. Every door, every cellar, as long as the black gas in the crystal produces a stronger agitation, they will investigate. They didn't even spare the gutters in the palace, and who knows if Parsa would hide the secret room in such a filthy place. With his eccentric temper, Byron decided that he could not spare any corner. Eventually, they found the right route, and with each step forward, the transmission of the black gas became stronger. What kind of king would be like that, sneaking through the night of his palace? However, if you find the secret room early, you may be able to pass the test of this level. In his heart, he had to secretly admire the parallel world that the fire god had conjured. Miracles are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary humans.
The three of them followed the Magic Crystal's guide eastward, and Byron remembered that there was a high ground at the east gate of the palace, from which he could overlook most of the palace. The Golden Dragon Knights, who used to serve as guards for the royal forest, were often stationed there as a camp. I didn't expect Parsa to be so bold as to set up her own secret room in such a familiar place, and she didn't even notice any clues. However, since the vault is hidden in the highlands, Parsa naturally has other passages to enter, rather than going up to the highlands naturally. "Could we be going in the wrong direction?" Byron asked himself.
"In the palace where we infiltrated from the Hall of Light just now, the dark magic was obviously only silent under the effect of the Holy Light, so we couldn't see a strong agitation. Byron said to Geraint and Joshua, "Now that we are moving away from the Temple of Light, the black air is starting to stir again. But I don't know if we ignored the influence of the Holy Light, maybe the black qi itself could reach this kind of process in the palace, but it was suppressed by the Holy Light before. And we don't think about whether this phenomenon will happen from other directions. After all, the Holy Light Hall is to the west of the palace, and if we want to look for a secret room in the palace, we will definitely go to the east. β
He wasn't wrong, the black qi was indeed suppressed by the Holy Light, and now it had regained its true dynamics. "I have a solution. "But it may take some sacrifice from you, Lord Byron." β
When Byron paused, he asked Gerante what he had in mind. It turns out that Geraint wants to use Byron's injuries as another lead. The black aura formed by the Dark Demon Lion is very similar to the dark magic in the magic crystal. If, according to the Aeolone, dark magic attracts each other, then Byron's wounds will also have an attraction effect on black qi if there are traces of dark magic. The concentration of dark magic in Parsa's secret room is obviously much stronger than Byron's wounds, and according to the principle of Lord Anemo's strong magic absorbing weak magic, if Byron uses his own wounds as an introduction, combined with the fierce Cheng DΓΉ of the black qi, he can avoid the interference of the holy light. But Byron was bound to endure the pain of dark magic.
"Your idea is very good, I'm willing to give it a try. He told them, "As long as I can end this senseless war sooner, what is the point for me to endure this pain." β
He asked them to keep their distance from him, then pressed the magic crystal against his wound. Soon black smoke also came out of Byron's wounds, and the black gas in the magic crystal resonated strongly with the black smoke.
Sure enough, not only the holy lights will resonate with each other, but the dark magic will also have this effect, Joshua thought to himself. However, it can be seen from Byron's expression that he is enduring severe pain at this time: "Lord Byron, if you really can't give up, you must not do anything!"
The movement of the black qi changed slightly, and it kept hitting the outer wall of the crystal in one direction.
"Follow the direction indicated by the black gas, hurry up and assault. Gerante said. Once the stealth magic on their bodies will soon lose its effectiveness at dawn, then the three of them will face the encirclement and suppression of various troops in the floating city.
They set out from Flame Chase City, carrying all their hopes. Within a few months, war was in full swing. It's time for the truth to come out and end this senseless struggle sooner rather than later.
A few years ago, Byron would never have imagined that there would be a secret chamber of dark magic in their Golden Dragon Knights' permanent location. Although Parsa was cunning and cautious, she did not expect to be so bold in choosing the address of the secret room. Byron thought that perhaps he was too cautious, so he took a cautious attitude when speculating about Parsa's psychology. Parsa was an overly stern and cold man, with a very strange temperament, and no one even wanted to approach him, and this was what made Parsa disguise herself well. And maybe that's all he has planned, and he has become prime minister to this day. Byron had always felt deep remorse for the murder of the king, his brother. After all these years of not noticing any movement in the Imperial City, Parsa slowly emerged under their noses. If he had discovered and nipped this qiΔ in the bud earlier, the war in front of him might not have happened.
Luckily, he had an excellent disciple and was a mentor to His Royal Highness the Prince. His Royal Highness the Prince chose to believe in his own teacher and stood on his side after becoming the king. The next thing to do is to do everything you can to help him eliminate Parsa and really let him have the throne instead of a puppet in Parsa's hands. Joshua could feel Byron's inner monologue, which also proved the heroism of Uncle Geraint's mouth of the Knights of the Kingdom of Reims. If it weren't for the fact that this guy in the real world, also named Parsa, personally destroyed a qiΔ and made the knights continue to fall, then he would be very yearning for knightly glory.
"I can't imagine that Parsa is so bold, he must have grasped our inherent thinking, and felt that he would not dare to do these things under our noses. Byron said. "I may have a good saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place. The center of a hurricane is often windless. "Ascend to the high ground and present the truth to the knights on the battlefield as soon as possible, so that they can stop the needless fighting." β
"That's right, it's about to dawn, so find the Chamber of Secrets, and then use Goggles to send messages of Parsa's Chamber of Secrets and Dark Magic to the battlefield at sunrise. Byron lifted his spirits and quickly led the group into the high ground. Due to the effect of the invisibility potion, none of the soldiers stationed on the high ground noticed them. Due to the tight fighting, most of the Order's soldiers were stationed at the city gates, and there were very few garrisons on the high grounds. Only a squad of knights sent by Bolton stood guard there.
"Don't you know that Mistress Eliade's magic works?" Joshua said to himself.
"No one has ever seen the true strength of Lord Anemo God, but I always feel that the magic that casts images from thousands of miles away is a piece of cake for these archmages!" Gerante smiled. As they spoke, they had come to the depths of the highlands, and at this time, Byron noticed that the black gas in the crystal was stirring extremely violently.
"If nothing else, the Chamber of Secrets should be deep underneath our feet. "It's just how do we get in?" I think Parsa must have other underpasses. β
"You see, it's very strange that there are three trees here. Just when everyone was at a loss, Geraint suddenly discovered something. It turned out that the place they were in was made up of three strangely shaped trees, and there should have been no trees in this area.
"It must have been the breath of dark magic that drew these three trees in, they looked like they were withered, like the breath of darkness. Gerante said.
"It's supposed to be a kind of enchantment, and I remember that Hanal's mother would use it as well. So saying, Joshua stepped forward and touched the trunk with his hand. Suddenly, a cloud of black gas diffused in the triangle formed by the three trees, quickly enveloping all three of them......
