Chapter 27: Morat Hansen (I)
There was a long silence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
But the old man seemed to be patient and waited tirelessly for Yodel's answer.
Finally, the voice of the secret guard came from behind the mask.
"You shouldn't be here. Yodel said coldly.
If anyone was present, they would have noticed that Yodel's hoarse voice was so similar to that of the old man in front of him.
The old man in black didn't speak, just looked at Yodel with a weird smile on his face.
The old man's eyes remained motionless.
But as the peak of the extreme realm, Yodel felt that the momentum of the old man in front of him was gradually overpowering him.
"That night, all the legendary anti-demon weapons in the country that could seal the magic master, three and a half pieces had their own place. The old man in black put down his crutches, grinned, and spoke slowly:
"The Staff of the Stars is a symbol of royal power and is always in the hands of His Majesty...... The Judgment Gun is helmed by the Wings of Legend and guards the Western Front...... Kingdom Fury scrubbed his immovable bow in the manor outside the city...... There is also half of it, that is, the Supreme Shield, which is left in the Broken Dragon Fortress in the north along with the fortress flower himself. β
Yodel inhaled softly.
"Only the last halfβthe unthawed Supreme Swordβis with you, Jodel Cato, and goes to the lower city. It was also that night that the Qi Magician disappeared into Hongfang Street, which was adjacent to the lower city district. β
The old man grinned again, smiling ugly: "I should have praised you, the last time someone sealed the feat of a magemaster alone was back in the records of the Ancient Empire. β
Yodel's hand under his sleeve slowly tightened the gray cross-gauntlet dagger.
"Butβ" Morat's pupils shrank, and his words changed abruptly:
"You, who went to meet the bloodline of the kingdom, should have been low-key and secretly acting, why did you risk your life to find the Demon Master of Qi head-on and seal him?"
"Don't tell me, you want to be a messenger of justice. β
Yodel was silent for a long time.
I saw that the old man was a little impatient, and the wrinkles on his face fluctuated, and he said:
"Or shall I report to His Majesty and let him come and ask you personally?"
Long.
Facing one of the five most feared people in the entire star, Yodel took a deep breath and said lightly in the same hoarse voice:
"That night, I saw Ashida Sachne on Red Square Street. At that time, he was in ...... Tails on the path of escape. β
The old man in black still stared at it, as if the news was nothing.
But no one knew that at this moment, Yodel was carefully considering his words.
"For the sake of Tails, I had to choose to shoot. β
"Although the Supreme Sword is only half an armament, it is enough to seal the Qi Demon Master. β
The old man in black coughed lightly twice, and on his ordinary face, a pair of eyes suddenly radiated a fine light.
"I suppose you wouldn't mind telling me every detail of him before he was sealed by you, from words to emotions, from actions to attitudes? β
Yodel clenched his fist lightly under his robe.
He had to be careful.
He was confronted with the "Black Prophet".
He can't lie.
He couldn't.
"Ashida Sackn, he's a madman. Yodel said lightly.
The old man, the Black Prophet, chuckled, and the wrinkles on his face were turbulent: "Of course, each of them is a madman, so what about a madman, too, a madman should have a word and a deed, right?"
"Before he was sealed, he was very excited. Yodel pondered the words and replied slowly.
The old man rubbed his cane, his dry lips opening and closing: "You can never fathom their emotions...... I'm not human anymore, so where do emotions come from?"
This nonsense can't distract him...... Yodel thought to himself.
Yodel hesitated for a second before making a decision.
He had to speak.
Have to.
"He said," Yodel's hoarse voice slowly came from behind the mask:
"He found a nascent magician. β
ββββββββββββββββββββ
[Historically, the first time a mage master appeared in the records was around the ancient empire for a thousand years, around 1025-1035 in the imperial calendar. γ
From the ancient empire to the final empire, the imperial calendar lasted for more than 1,600 years before it became the final calendar.
Tails recalls the basics he learned over the past few days.
In other words, it has been 1,200 years since the appearance of the magician?
But right now, it doesn't seem to be a good time for him to wander around and think about problems.
On the sand at sunset, Tails gritted his teeth, ignoring the soreness in his left shoulder, and his seven-year-old body hit Jini with a heavy wooden shield!
[According to the fragment of the Tower of Ascetics: A caravan on their way to the Tower of Alchemy witnessed a giant lightning bolt of unusual size. On the same day, a tribe a hundred miles away from the God of War Desert, thousands of tribesmen were all charred corpses. γ
Lightning?
Why is the ability of the Qi Wizard to control the air?
Is the Fantastic Four or an Elementalist?
Ginny's face shifted without changing her face, and the wooden shield in her left hand collided with Tails' shield at a clever angle.
"Bang!"
Tails' impact was mostly unstruck, and the whole person lost his balance, unnaturally skewed towards the side where the shield fell.
Tails gasped for breath and slammed his sword on the ground, his heart worried.
Genie could see Tails' state.
With a cold face, she began to rebuke the traverser: "What the hell are you thinking! Absent-mindedness on the battlefield is suicide!"
Tails shook his head, trying to get rid of what he had seen in Terminator: Heaven Falling Apart.
But it didn't seem to be useful, and the content about the magician kept popping up in his head:
[The Tower of Alchemy is as mysterious as ever, and no explanation has been given (no written historical information on them can be found at this time), and the existing historical records of the Ancient Empire do not mention this.] But this was enough to set the stage for the tragedy of the later ending battle. γ
What is the Tower of Ascetics, and the Tower of Alchemy? an organization, or a place name?
With the center of gravity of the shield, Tails tried his best to shake the wooden sword in his right hand, which was not much lighter than the shield, twisted his face, and turned around with a sword!
[The war began in 1609 in the imperial calendar, but there is no historical record to prove the beginning of the end war. It seems that overnight, all the hostile pairs stand at both ends of the chessboard and start fighting. γ
Why, why is it that a war that changed everything, and even the beginning of the war is not well documented?
Ginny moved effortlessly, letting go of the incoming blade and nudging Tails with the hilt of her sword behind Tails' already unbalanced body.
Gilbert, who was watching from the sidelines, shook his head.
"Bump!"
Tails fell to the ground again, and it was a dog-nibbled sand face down.
Burst.
Tails spat the sand from his mouth, pulled his shield again, and stood up.
"That's enough!" shouted Jenny with an unhappy face.
"Seven sets of offensive styles, you just learned a similar shape, and the efficiency is completely different from when you learned the defensive style-"
"If you're not stupidβ"
"That means you don't have the heart to practice today!"
Tails gasped and nodded with shame and apologies on his face.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Ginnyβ"
[The number of magicians is scarce, even more than the legendary dragons. At the very least, there are more than forty dragons in history, and there are only ten magicians who openly appear and participate in the battle of the end. γ
Ten people?
Ten people facing the whole world?
"Boy!"
Seeing that Tails was still absent-minded, Ginny angrily threw down her shield and wooden sword: "Get out of class! Get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning and make up for today's progress!"
Gilbert frowned, he didn't know what was wrong with Tails.
I saw that Gennie on the battlefield turned her head and shouted at the Count of Casso:
"Before dinner, he's yours - fix him for me!"
Gilbert smiled and raised his hat and bowed.
Frustrated, Tails threw down his wooden sword and began to deal with his left arm, which was again jammed by the shield.
[Even so, although there are many followers, it is the single-digit magicians who really cause the huge casualties of the coalition forces - the most famous record is that in May 1614 of the imperial calendar, on the battlefield of the Sighing Mountains in the Eastern Front Theater, the 8,000 pilgrim troops of the mountain elves, and the nearly 50,000 well-equipped black armor troops of the Dawn Dynasty, were destroyed overnight after the appearance of the power of the magician. γ
The Magician of Right?
Single shadow, fifty-eight thousand.
What kind of force can cause such a kill?
Almost comparable to an atomic bomb.
Can Ashida do the same?
Right now.
Ji Ni, who had a bad face, rubbed her palms and was about to leave, but saw a guard come forward solemnly and whisper a few words in Gilbert's ear.
The next moment, Tails was amazed to see that Gilbert's face suddenly became surprised andβworried, even fearful?
This Count Cassel, who has been trained in diplomacy and is not shocked and angry, also has times of worry and fear?
Tails was in a strange moment, only to hear Gilbert stop Ginny, and said with a solemn face:
"Your Majesty has sent a message. β
"Lord Morat Hansen will be visiting the Mindish Hall tonight. β
"He wanted to see Mr. Tails. β
Morat Hansen?
Who's that?
Then Tails was also surprised to see that the face of the lady of the court, the first rank of the court, the lover of King Kessel V, Lady Gini, also changed.
It was shock, and worry, andβ
Gnash one's teeth?
"He'll come sooner or later. I saw Ji Ni's eyes cold, and her words were frosty:
"In the face of the bloodline of the royal family, the succession to the throne of the stars. β
"The head of the Kingdom Secret Branch, the 'Black Prophet' Morat. β
"How can you not come and get involved??"
ββββββββββββββββββββ
The old man in black, the "Black Prophet" Morat Hansen, did not speak again.
For the first time, Yodel saw Morat, who was always mysterious and eerie, with shock and ...... in his eyes
Fear?
"The ...... of the newborn Magician?"
Morat paused, took a step back in disbelief, and then jerked his head up!
It worksβYodel said to himself silently.
Morat has too many secrets, including those of the magician.
But it's also because he knows too much that he's more likely to be distracted by these things.
Ignoring what he really wanted to hide, Tails' communication with Ashida.
Like now.
"Impossible, the birth of a magician requires ......" Morat's face was full of shock, and the old man clenched his cane tightly, staring at Yodel's mask as if he wanted to see through the layer of amethyst.
"Who is it?" Morat's eyes were a little crazy.
"Who's the newborn magician?"
Morat stared at his son like a viper, his pupils constricting violently.
"You know how serious this is!" Morat frowned, his eyes focused, his breath accelerated, and the crutches in his hand tightened his grip tighter: "The new magician - gotta be in it...... before, dispose of it. β
Yodel adjusted his breathing, breathingβan action that should have been an easy move for a Arctic master, but now it was extremely difficult.
It.
It?
The image of the black-haired and gray-eyed boy slowly became clear.
"They stay with you...... I walked on my own. In the sunset bar, the stubborn boy's words and his determined eyes vaguely appeared in front of him.
Yodel clenched his fist slightly.
Morat narrowed his eyes slowly.
"Ashida didn't say his name, and probably didn't know his name. β
Yodel carefully sifted through the most truthful information and slowly organized it into words: "Then, Ashida was sealed by me. β
He really didn't know Tails' nameβYodel told himselfβand I wasn't lying.
Morat did not speak.
The old man just looked at Yodel with a strange look in his eyes.
It was seconds before Morat looked away.
"Good, you're not lying. The old man used an affirmative sentence, and his eyes were full of solemnity.
"But it's also bad, because you really weren't lying. Morat added, with a gloomy face.
Yodel was relieved.
He hid it.
"Now, on your Majesty's orders, let us go and meet that Mr. Tails. Morat retracted his gloom and solemnity, and with an ugly and terrifying smile on his face again, he walked towards the Mindice Hall.
Yodel's breath froze.
I only heard Moratmo scratch his cane, showing the few remaining teeth, turned his head and smiled: "You shouldn't mind the truth about Hongfang Street, I'll ask that kid in person - like the so-called newborn magician?"
"Don't get me wrong, it's just a professional habit, like-"
"--See if you're hiding anything?"
Yodel jerked his head up!
Morat smiled even more.
