Chapter Seventy-Five: Volcanic Monsters
In the distant capital of the Empire, Floating City, Parsa had been on the throne of the king for six years. In the past six years, in addition to suppressing the rebellion in various places, he has spent the rest of his time locked himself in a secret room, researching those terrifying dark magics and communicating with the phantom of the Chaos Demon King Kaos. People who don't know the truth like to call this king "King of Confinement". Because Parsa has neither a wife nor children, nor any other hobbies, and usually likes to shut himself up in a secret room to study magic, many people think that he is confining himself up.
"Where's King Bixia?" said the giant Bolton as he entered the palace, searching everywhere for Parsa.
"Where else can King Bixia go after the early dynasty? One of the priests said with a smile.
"There is an urgent military situation from the front, and the Knights of the Blue Dragon of the Empire have been routed by the Roger Pirates on Mick Island. Moreover, the fragments of the Holy Sword that we had spent a great deal of effort to find were also taken by the enemy. Now the defeated army has withdrawn to Barneys to rest. Lord Blue Ghost has sent us news that the Imperial knights on the front line, led by Captain Miranda, are all in a negative mood of war weariness. Burton said.
"King Bixia is not allowed to be disturbed by anyone else while he is studying magic. Do you remember Sir Colin's hapless man?" said the priest slowly.
"Isn't Sir Colin dead?"
"It was when King Bixia was studying magic that he trespassed into his chamber, and by the time we saw him, he was a cold corpse. A look of fear appeared on the priest's face, "Although King Bixia told us that Sir Colin wanted to assassinate him, he killed him with magic. But Colin, who is usually very arrogant, how could he commit such a rebellious crime?"
"Lord Priest, do you doubt King Bixia, this is a great sin to lose his head!" Bolton shook his head.
"No, King Bixia said that Colin was an Assassin, so he must be an Assassin. The priest quickly changed his tone.
"Alas, the rebellion Shili has actually raised its head again in the past few years. The White Dragon Knights and the Blue Dragon Knights are no match for the Freedom Wings rebels, and I can't imagine what the Dragons who will attack the Loga Holy Land will look like when the time comes. Bolton sighed.
"That's not what we care about. All we have to do is stay in Floating City and do what we have to do. The priest laughed.
Parsa appeared in his chamber as usual, and now he had mastered many powerful dark magics. If he didn't understand something, he would go to the depths of the secret room to find Kaos's phantom to solve his doubts, and Kaos would constantly ask about the progress of the things he had done to explain Parsa.
"My dearest servant, it seems like you haven't been here to see me for a long time. Kaos said gloomily to Parsa.
"Great Lord of Chaos, I'm here to tell you something bad today. We dug up a shard of the Holy Sword on Mick Island, but the fools messed things up again. Parsa said.
"What's the trouble you're in this time?"
"It's our old adversary, Roger's Pirates, King Kaos!"
"Do you want to tell me that the pieces were stolen by the pirates?" Kaos's tone became agitated.
"I cast the Mirror of Shadows in the palace hall. Every move in the palace can't escape my eyes. Parsa chanted the incantation, and a black smoke appeared above the palm of her hand. The black smoke quickly turned into a circle, and in the center of the circle was a mirror-like image, "It seems that someone came to the palace today to look for me, and the report is the military situation on Mick Island. It seems that we have once again suffered defeat, and the fragments of the Holy Sword have been taken by the enemy. ”
"You and your Order have disappointed me so much. You can still find some excuses for yourself to lose to the dragons. Now that you've lost both of your major battles at the hands of Roger's Pirates, what else do you have to say?" Kaos's mood began to unsettle.
"King Kaos, please calm your anger. After all, the area where the rebels are stationed is relatively far from our mainland. Once they leave the island and come to fight on our mainland, the Imperial Knights will definitely teach them a good lesson. Parsa said.
"I hope so, I've been in this book for six years, and I hope you will help me to come into this world soon. Kaos laughed, "Seeing that you lowly guys are always coming with news of failure, I can't wait to come out and show you what it means to make people despair Liliang!"
"King Bixia, are you comfortable talking now?" Suddenly, a voice came from the mirror image in Parsa's hand. The appearance of the blue ghost is clearly displayed in the mirror.
"It's you, what's the matter? You're supposed to be in Barneys Harbor by now, right? It's going to take a lot of magic for you to use this magic to talk to me from such a distance. You must have something urgent to report to me, right?" Parsa looked at the mirror image with both eyes.
"King Bixia, I have learned an important piece of information from Lord Thunder Fist Zhang this time. While escorting the Sacred Sword Fragments on Mick Island, they meet an adult and two children. They're also here to snatch the pieces. Among them was a child, according to Mr. Zhang's description, with an incredible liliang in his body. That child, stimulated by some external conditions, was able to burst out with a powerful fighting spirit in an instant, and even Lord Zhang's thunder fist couldn't help him. This burst of liliang is very similar to the liliang of the Holy Light. Could this be the Radiant Last Descendant you've been looking for, King Bixia?" the blue ghost told Parsa what he had learned.
"Yes, the news you brought me is very useful. For the rest of the time, you're going to help me find out about the child's whereabouts. You have the right to dispatch any member of my Black Dragon Knights, and you must find a way to catch that kid for me!" Parsa said, and the mirror image in her hand disappeared with her.
"I heard everything you just said. Kaos suddenly let out a gloomy voice, "It seems that in the land of Gaia, the Last of Light still exists. We'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one escape, you see, Parsa?"
"One adult, two children?" ...... Parsa suddenly felt stunned, "If it's the prince and Geraint, then who is the other child?"
"That's right, Lord Kaos. Parsa suddenly smiled at the Lord of Chaos, "Although the first two fragments of the Holy Sword were snatched by others, we have obtained a new piece of information. There may be a third fragment of the Holy Sword near Mount Isaro, and I have sent the Red Dragon Knights there to find it. ”
"Mount Izaro?" Kaos laughed, "I remember you saying that it was the fiefdom of the Aika family in the Burning Fire Province. And they are the first shili to raise an anti-flag against you. It's not very reassuring for you to dig up debris there. ”
"The Aika family is indeed a very troublesome rebellion. Fortunately, in the past few years, we have supported the local bandits, the Kidd brothers, to take control of the province of Isaro, and these rebels will not be able to make any big waves for the time being. Parsa laughed, "And Mount Isaro is a magical active volcano, which has been impregnated by volcanic magic all year round, and many monsters have grown at the foot of the mountain. These monsters often come out to harass the local population. The Aika family has been using their magic to control and weaken these monsters. Now they've been driven to the Red Clay area, and many of the monsters have lost control. I have now mastered a dark magic capable of manipulating these monsters, and have the Red Dragon Knights bring the volcanic stone with my magic to Mount Isaro. Now that the volcanic stone has been thrown into the magma by them, I believe that these monsters will become more tyrannical driven by the dark liliang, and the people of the Aika family will never sit idly by and ignore those civilians. And we'll have a fair amount of time to safely find the Sacred Sword Fragments. ”
Meanwhile, in order to avoid being questioned by the Imperial soldiers, Geraint led the group along the Scorching Mountain Road. Located to the south of Mount Isaro, the Scorching Mountain Pass is steep and has a hot climate due to its narrow path. However, Joshua and Hannar didn't seem to feel the heat, and they kept arguing along the way.
"It's not a good road, don't make a fuss, be careful......" Gerante reminded them. At this moment, there was a restless sound on the mountain road ahead, and Geraint felt the ground suddenly shake.
