Chapter 660: No Desire, No Desire
"Your Majesty......!"
Ostarion saw Akasha stumble to him, wings wrapped tightly around his body, tears still hanging from his cheeks. Rao was a little surprised, after all, he had never seen Akasha cry.
I don't know if it's because of the growing power of the Wraith Throne, Ostarion slowly became more aware of the things around him, and began to think about things with emotion.
"Let me see you. Ostarion held out a finger and tugged at Akasha's wings.
Akasha suddenly took a step back, shaking her head desperately.
"There is no one else here. Ostarion said, as if he had vaguely guessed something.
Akasha slowly opened her wings and received them behind her. She held a bewitching staff in front of her arms, but the sheen of the staff could not hide the scars on her body.
"Who did it?"
Akasha shook her head again. She could only shake her head, no matter who did it, she was already unchaste in Ostarion's heart.
However, Akasha suddenly realized that Ostarion did not focus on Dagon's divine power in the first place, but cared about her affairs.
"Speak up. Ostarion said: "You name him, and I will remove him from all his posts, take back all the troops under his name, and handcuff him like a slave, and make him a year of hard labor." β
Akasha still shook her head. But for some reason, the eye sockets suddenly became sour and covered with a film of water, completely out of her control.
"Or, I could just kill him. β
"No! It's my fault in the first place! I didn't think much about it in order to get the Demon Blade...... Punish me however you want, Your Majesty!" said Akasha as she suddenly knelt on the ground.
"You ......" Ostarion paused slightly, he hadn't thought carefully about how the demon blade came to be......
Seeing that Akasha looked quietly waiting to receive the guilt, Ostarion sighed and said, "Punish you for not being allowed to leave my sight until the Wraith Night is over until the Wraith Throne is forged." β
"Yes!" Akasha lowered her head, but thoughts were churning in her heart. He's really changed......
"Come here. β
Akasha slowly stood up and walked over to Ostarion.
He took off the cloak behind his back and wrapped it in front of Akasha, the fire flickering in his deep eye sockets: "All the hardships you have experienced will make you stronger. The power of the fifth-order dagong should not be underestimated, protect it and don't let anyone get it again. I have some painkillers in my room, you can use them first, and then you can rest. β
Akasha nodded, and she suddenly felt that she had made the right choice......
Ostarion didn't need to rest, which was a headache for him, and he spent most of the day in boredom.
"Someoneβ" Ostarion's voice rang out, and soon a man walked in from outside the temple door.
"Your Majesty, what do you command?"
"Shadow Fiend has made a great contribution this time, you summoned him, I have something to say to him. β
"Yes. β
It's not all boring, sometimes it's more worry. Ostarion has thought more than once that with an immortal body and an immortal sword, the world can be leveled and there will be no more strife in the world. But he's just a pile of bones now, and he's not really immortal.
He didn't wait long, and a pitch-black figure appeared in the direction of him.
"Come in, and let me think of how to reward you. Ostarion's hand hanging from the armrest of his seat lifted slightly, and he waved twice.
"It's me, Your Majesty. β
From the dark shadow came a woman's voice, "Mercury, the leader of the Hunters' Alliance, asks to be seen." β
The fire in Ostarion's eyes darkened slightly, as if he was squinting - it seems that his eyesight has deteriorated, and he can't even tell the gender?!
"What's the matter with you? Did you hear from that traitor Motriti?"
There are some things that have no camp boundaries, Motriti once said to Mercury. Motrite hadn't completely betrayed the Dire Alliance, at least so far, she hadn't done anything to deliberately hurt the Dire, and she was able to bring some information from time to time. Mercury thought that if he had said that to Ostarion, she would probably have to be regarded by Ostarion and Motriti as one of the same kind.
Unfortunately, [something] that Motriti said was something that Mercury couldn't understand.
"Yes, Your Majesty must have heard of the Templar as well. Mercury said: "In this battle at the Thousand Lakes, the Templar has killed the three contractors of the Warlock, the Batrider and the Axe King, Your Majesty, you should also know that once the experience is accumulated, it is unstoppable, I think it is time to curb her momentum." β
"What?" Ostarion jerked up, "she killed them all?"
He thought that he was just dying in the war, and that this small-scale war would not accumulate much disadvantage if it was lost, and that the number of people they dispatched could only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg, and the power of Hell was huge, far from what Tianhui's gang could imagine.
But they all died at the hands of the same person, and that's ......
This is no longer an issue to be taken seriously, and it must be eradicated as soon as possible!
"Since Motrite has been with the Templars for so long, you should be the one among us who knows the Templars best. Do you know who in the Dire League can be sure that she will be able to take her?"
"The Templar has a high level of experience, and there has not yet been a person in the two camps who has killed more hostile contractors than her, she first inherited magic immunity, and then obtained the relics of the saints, I think, if it is just one person, no one can do anything about her, even if several contractors are dispatched, I dare not say that she will succeed. She already has almost no weaknesses. β
"You mean unless we go out with all our troops?"
"Not really. In my opinion, the key to dealing with her lies in that ancient book. In this battle, she even took out the fake book in exchange for the previous one, which shows that even if she knows that she may not be able to repel the demon, she will not give up the real ancient book. The Templar takes ancient books very seriously, and I'm not sure if they contain great power in their own right, but if we can destroy them, we will surely anger her, and those who have lost their minds are better dealt with. β
It was ridiculous to think that this was the purpose of Motriti in the past, and now that she had begun to help the Templar protect the ancient books.
Motriti told her that it was because of sympathy and empathy.
You can't understand because you don't have feelings.
β...... So I think the best person to deal with the Templar would be Carl, who wanted to get his hands on the ancient book for a long time. As long as any information about the ancient book comes to his ears, he will definitely do something. There were so many people under him, and it was not very difficult for them to just snatch an ancient book. β
"Carl, I think so, he only disdains to be a rival to the strong. β
"Your Majesty, there's one more person to draw attention to, Lena. Mercury said: "She is building a force for the Radiant Grand Alliance, and this time Ryan sneak attacked, unexpectedly encountered the support of the Spellbreaker troops, but ended up in a crushing defeat, which seriously dampened the morale of the Demon Legion...... Shouldn't I be in charge of the Demon Legion?"
"Do you think I'm so narrow-minded? They say a truce for a year, then a year is enough, and what can they make a name for themselves in a year? We don't stand still, and when the Wraith Ritual is completed, all the demonic and undead forces that obey me will become more powerful than ever. β
"Your Majesty, you seem to have been led away by me. I mean, there are some things that we can not delay as much as possible, and it's not that we can't solve Lena's problem at the moment. She wants to establish her own nation in what was once called the Land of Discord, and we have a great presence in the vicinity. β
"You mean, Sands Empire?"
"It is the territory of the Sand King Chriselis. The border between the Sands Empire and the State of Discord is the Burning Desert, and the Desert will only be more beneficial to the Sand King. It had been a long time since Chriselis had expanded his territory, and this was also an opportunity for him. Just gather enough intelligence and wait for the best time......"
"You are right, Lena is a fire wizard, and the army of the Sands Empire has long been accustomed to the hot climate. What's more, the Scorching God Mountain is not something that ordinary people can surpass. Ostarion nodded frequently, "I can only say that Lena chose the wrong place." Those zergs whose carapaces are stronger than iron are the last thing they fear is fire. Mercury, the information you have brought to me today is of some value, so I can grant you as long as your request is reasonable. β
Mercury humbly bowed his head and said: "It is my honor to serve Your Majesty, there is nothing I want, I just want to be able to fight for the alliance, and my soul should be detached as soon as possible and return to where I should go." β
Ostarion was a little surprised, he had seen someone who didn't need a reward, but he hadn't seen someone who begged for death...... It is incomprehensible that he is bent on eternal life.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and I'll retire first. β
Mercury said, and drifted out of the temple gate. Isn't it death? She's already died once, and she's not afraid of this second time.
But she immediately changed her mind.
Some deaths are more tragic than the lonely souls that wander in this world, and they can never be transcended.
"Commander. When Nyven Moore passed through Mercury, he was between high and low status, but he still bowed slightly. Then, go their separate ways.
Mercury had little to do with Nyvenmore, except that he spent most of his time collecting souls.
Why, then, do you want to never stop collecting souls? Is it just a collector's hobby?
Or is he looking for something ......?
-
Ostarion gets the same answer from the Shadow Fiend. He's just a lifeform made up of some demonic energy, and he doesn't want anything. The only curse he wanted to lift, Ostarion couldn't do anything about it.
But Ostarion didn't believe it. There is no one in the world who is truly desireless.
