Chapter 12: The Truth?
"Goddess of Light, help!" Wisedom cried, and the candle in his hand fell to the ground in fear.
"Look at me. Seeing this, Bolton hurriedly flew over with an axe, and the two black snakes were instantly cut off. Burton's heavy axe smashed the bookshelf in the basement to pieces.
"Let's go see how that book is. Byron hurriedly ordered the guards to clean up the broken debris of the bookshelves and find the books.
"Sure enough, it's the Holy Magic Codex. Byron took the book and looked at the cover carefully, and the four big words "Holy Magic Codex" were impressive.
"Is this really the work of old El?" Wisem frowned, "but he's going to do it?"
"He must have been researching a dark magic that required the blood of children as a sacrifice. Byron said as he prepared to open the Code of Law and look up the records in it.
"Put it down. This book is mine, and none of you are allowed to touch it. Suddenly, a hoarse and terrifying voice came. A ragged man with curly gray hair appeared in the basement.
"Old El, is that really you?" exclaimed Westdom, "no. Although they look exactly the same, the sound is completely different. Are you old El?"
"Humble humans, you don't have to know who I am. Because today I will bury you all here. Al grimaced.
"It's ridiculous that you're trying to kill all of us alone. Bolton picked up his axe and smiled at Al, "Watch me split you in half with an axe." As soon as he finished speaking, Bolton raised his axe and slashed at Al.
"It's you, the ridiculous guy. With a wave of his hand, Al struck Bolton with a black ball of light. Burton couldn't dodge and was knocked to the ground. Burton's fall caused the entire basement to shake.
"The Goddess of Light is above, when did Old El have such a powerful liliang?" Wisedom was dumbfounded.
"You killed those children, and you were the one who sent the assassination of the king, right?" Geraint glared angrily, drew his sword and rushed towards Al.
"Today, all of you will be killed by me, so you don't need to know so much. Al chanted the spell, only to see that his right hand instantly gathered into a blade, and a black long sword appeared, blocking Geraint's attack at once.
"Die!" With a wave of his left hand, Al sent another black ball of light at Geraint. However, Gerante was quick and quickly dodged the attack.
"As the first knight of the Golden Dragon Knights, I admit that I underestimated you a little at first. El Daxiao, raised his sword and slashed at Geraint. Undaunted, Gerante raised his sword to meet him. But as the rounds increased, Geraint gradually had only the ability to parry.
"Even Geraint ...... Is this the powerful Liliang of the Dark Clan?" Byron couldn't help but worry when he saw that Geraint was gradually gaining the upper hand.
Seeing that Geraint was in a bitter battle, Byron immediately made a decision, handed the "Holy Magic Codex" into the hands of Westdom, and then quickly drew his sword, the Holy Wall, and rushed into the warband.
"Lord Byron, this guy is very powerful, you have to be careful. When Geraint saw Byron coming to help, he hurriedly shouted.
"Haha, the wall of the kingdom is also here, and I'm just here to see how much you can do. Al laughed at the odds.
The swords in the hands of the three of them collided with each other, sparks, and the whole battle made everyone present feel a little suffocated.
"Let you take a good look at the dark Liliang. Al chanted the incantation, and a black glow emanated from his body. I saw him raise the long sword in his hand again and slash at Byron heavily. Byron didn't dodge, and directly raised his sword to meet him, only to hear a loud bang, and the two long swords clashed together. At this time, Byron's body also exuded a golden glow. The two currents of air continued to collide with each other, and the entire basement trembled as if it was about to collapse.
"Such a strong fighting spirit, worthy of being one of the best golden knights in the Reims Kingdom. "Al and Byron are at loggerheads.
"What are you waiting for?" shouted Byron. Seeing this, Geraint hurriedly stabbed El with a sword.
"Damn. Al stretched out his left hand, and a powerful black air flow formed an air shield that blocked the attack of the long sword in Geraint's hand.
"Accept the sanction of the Light!" Byron took the opportunity to reach out his left hand and punch Al in the cheek. Al staggered a few steps, revealing a lot of flaws. Geraint saw the moment and stabbed his opponent again.
"Uhh......h Black smoke was constantly coming out of his eyes, mouth, and even nose and ears. Geraint hurriedly pulled out the long sword that pierced Al's body.
"Oh my god, I'll be back. With another scream, all the black smoke on Al's body had dissipated, and several puffs of black smoke instantly condensed into a cloud of black gas and rushed into the Holy Magic Codex. Wiserm was taken aback and threw the book directly on the ground. As for the old El, all that was left was a cold shell now.
"Goddess of Light, how can this be. Westdom was apprehensive, "El must have learned these dark spells to become what he is now." You see, even the voice of his voice has changed, and there are so many crazy words. But after he became a madman, he seemed to have become more powerful, and he could match the two adults. ”
"It's all over, let's take the book back first. Byron said as he retrieved the Holy Magic Book from Westdom, "But the library's vault isn't very secure now, and we'll have to find a more secret place to hide the book." There is also the original magic array that also needs to be rearranged. I suspect that Al is controlled by the demonic spirit in the book, so we must seal it again to avoid tragedy. ”
"Leave the matter of the magic circle to Fanny, she is the only one who knows about the existence of this book before. I'm sure she'd heard about how to seal the book. Gerante said.
"It's a pity that Al is dead, and there are still a few unanswered questions in my mind. First of all, how El cracked the magic circle, and how he came into contact with the mage in the Black Dragon Knights and controlled him to assassinate the king. Byron said.
"Al, he has always loved to read magic books, and I don't think it's surprising that he can unlock a magic circle that has been around for a hundred years. Anything ages, including magic arrays. Westdom said, "As for why I was able to control that assassin, I don't have an answer yet. ”
"What do you think, Geraint?" Byron asked.
"I don't think it's a surprise that if there are three Cerberus in the palace, the appearance of other dark magic. What's more, the Black Dragon Knights were stationed in the palace after the Cerberus appeared and the barrier was laid down. Before that, it was normal for some of them to have been in contact with Al. Geraint replied.
"But I always felt that the truth was not that simple. Byron still had some doubts, "But Al is dead, and the Assassin can't open his mouth, so many things can't be verified." ”
"I think it's because Al accidentally stole this Holy Magic Book, and then was possessed by the demon in the book, and committed many sins. Now that El has been sanctioned by the Light, the demon's soul has been forced back into the book, and that's it. Westholm said.
"Hopefully, I'm overthinking. Byron looked at the Codex in his hand, "By the way, Lord Parsa has cleared the suspicion, and we can release him." ”
After a while, the island in the middle of the lake of the Imperial Palace ......
"Oops, I'm finally free again. Parsa stretched and stepped out of the cabin.
"I'm sorry these days, Lord Parsa. Burton greeted him with a smile.
"It's okay, now that everything has fallen into place, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Lord Byron has always been strict in his dealings, and you have told him that I have no objection to his previous decision and that I appreciate his loyalty to King Bixia. Parsa followed Bolton out of the island in the middle of the lake, and said, "Bolton, I want to go to the garden to see if the barrier is stable in my absence, so go back and report to Lord Byron first." ”
"Haode, sir. With that, Bolton left the palace.
"It's still fresh air outside. But it's time for me to go home and have a look. Approaching the garden, Parsa took in the scenery and smiled strangely again.
