Chapter 317: Prince of the Desert (Part I)
It was Master Lapshi who killed Prince Anto?
How is this possible......
All the nobles and ministers on the high platform could hear what Sean said, and everyone could not imagine that a descending nobleman could defeat Master Laphi, who had been famous for a long time and had a high prestige among the wizards of the imperial capital.
Even Frelia, the red dragon witch beside him, didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the other party.
Could it be that Count Sean Wigel is an even more powerful wizard?!!
For a while, everyone had the same question in their minds, but no one dared to really ask it......
And at this moment, the other party actually justified that it was not himself who killed Prince Anto, but Master Lapshi who fell to the ground.
Wait a minute.
The name he just said was obviously a man named Xiugoth!
"You don't want to say it, then I'll help you say it. "The Great Wizard who fell to the ground, Sean's distorted face had begun to slowly mutate.
Without parasitic objects, even creatures from hundreds of millions of years ago would be difficult to live today.
"Hmph~ I didn't expect that a small human being could have such an ability as you, it's surprising...... Sure enough, instead of listening to this nonsense arrangement and catching you and asking, you should have been killed at the beginning. ”
Lapshi stood up again, and this time his voice changed.
It became darker and even more harsh, and it didn't sound like a human voice at all.
In the eyes of everyone, the body that originally belonged to Lapshi began to slowly expand, and finally dozens of black tentacles directly drilled out of the body, and each tentacle was densely filled with glowing eyes.
Where have the nobles seen such a monster before they have almost never been involved in battle!
At the moment of appearance, it kept moving in the direction of the King of the High Terrace, and there was only one doorway to the main hall, which was usually designed to prevent an Assassin from escaping after entering...... Of course, there is another door to go out, but this door is known only to the members of the royal family.
At this time, King Simon and Prince Philip were blocked by many guards on the last floor......
Is that...... What the!!
Even the most knowledgeable wizards would be terrified at the sight of Shogues' true form.
That kind of irregular form belongs to the aesthetics of the ancients at the beginning of the world......
"Are you finally willing to come out?" Sean watched as Shoggers in front of him gradually took shape.
Because it only has a partial body, or it is only a little form after the years, it is not as large as the one he saw in the picture given by Yogsothos, but it is just a three- or four-meter-tall crank-shaped tentacle monster.
Hundreds of glowing eyes stared at him......
But did not take the lead in the attack, just stood alone in the center.
"Sean, what's that?!!" Frelia asked next to her.
Just the battle and strength that Sean showed just now, Freilia, who had always had some proud capital in front of the other party, couldn't understand it all at once.
How can Sean's strength become so strong in just one year.
Just now I was ready to die, if I really couldn't beat the great wizard Lapxi, I could only rely on my momentum to charge to the high platform and take a nobleman hostage to have a way out.
However, in the blink of an eye, all expectations are useless!
"Don't worry! this is our real enemy, but it's much weaker than the last. Sean looked at Frelia and smiled.
All around, the soldiers who had been called out just now gathered again.
Although the Xiugus in front of him looks a little terrifying, his own strength is not strong, and his purpose is only to control his [Ancient Crystal] and find the container that he can really entrust.
"Don't get close to it, its body can't support the real environment, you get close to it but give it the opportunity to possess you, as long as you don't get close to it, you will naturally die. ”
When Sean said this, the guards who surrounded him were frightened and scattered in an instant.
"You...... How do you know this. ”
"Not only do I know your habits, but I also know what you want. Sean's other hand slowly opened, and a purple glowing crystal appeared inside.
It's about the size of an egg, but it contains enough power to make Shogues surrender.
But in his field of vision, the display of this thing is only: [Ancient Crystal].
Either his level is too low, or the power contained in this thing is not something that ordinary people can grasp.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the crystal is in your own hands, it is enough to kill the other person......
"How's that? Do you want to go back? ”
Looking at the deformed monster in front of him, those countless pairs of glowing eyes stared at him.
"How dare you ......"
Angry, he rushed straight forward, but before Sean could react, Frelia stood up to him in advance, and the flaming spear swept and broke Shogues's tentacles.
The whole person jumped in the air, and a beautiful whirl swept across the ground with a gun wind that was enough to cut through the opponent, while Sean crushed the purple crystal in his hand.
There is hardly any room for resistance.
Without the host, the 'parasite' could not fight in real life, and as the Ancient's crystal shattered, the last trace of strength of Shogues was also consumed, and his entire body began to shrink as if dehydrated, and finally dried up and flattened into an oily substance and officially fell to the ground.
It's over?
The nobles on the high platform kept looking out.
The battle in the field finally fell silent......
Sean stepped forward and said to the king on the high platform: "Your Majesty, this is the culprit who killed Prince Anto, it is the monster stored in that crystal, and Lapshi has hidden this from you because he covets the monster in it." ”
I guess I can clear my name.
At the beginning, Sean could be killed directly with Xiugus, but he deliberately made it appear in front of everyone so that everyone could see it.
And King Simon also stood up and looked at the center at this time.
"Is that the thing?"
"Why do you say that this is the murderer of Prince Anto, do you see it?" suddenly someone among the nobles jumped out and said.
Anli Hamil.
Scold~
Sean also thought that the other party would fall into a hole at such a time.
"Count Hamil thinks that the Earl of the South has a problem, and on the day Prince Anto was killed, I was talking to Commander Melsusa in the main hall with all the lords, and we all ate together late that night, you mean all of us are accomplices. Sean said.
"This ......"
"Then even if you have nothing to do with Prince Anto's death, what about the previous crimes. Killing the sorcerer, trying to collude with the assassins of my father...... And pretending to participate in the crusade of Tacoma City, and more importantly, recklessly collecting money when the country is in danger and not willing to send troops to the front, you should admit this. ”
"Yes, Count Vigel...... No, Sean Wigel's charges are enough to constitute treason, and even if there is merit, he should be deprived of his noble status and reduced to a commoner!"
"That's right, it's a shame that such a crime appears to a nobleman!"
As long as one person stands up against it, there will be more opposition.
Sean looked at Grand Duke Haruman, who was the only one who could speak, but the other party was also [thinking!] and [hesitating!] at the moment......
"There is also the theft of the prince's caine slate, these charges should be confessed. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Sean angrily plunged his greatsword into the ground.
The arm had bled from the wound in the previous battle, and the wound cracked open again, and blood flowed down the arm onto the sword.
But at this moment, the original silver sword began to shed its skin as if it had been peeled off, revealing the golden sword body!
"I recommend that Sean Wigel be held pending a public trial!" Rian Hamil suggested.
"That's right...... That's how it should be. ”
A group of people are also chiming in.
In the crowd, only Mel Susa and the others from Edak looked at the saber in Sean's hand in surprise, the saber that had never changed in his hand.
That's the Golden Sword, the Real Golden Sword!
........................
At this time, outside the imperial capital, in the Haitian Hotel......
Four days of city lockdown had all but closed the hotels, and Heljara had time to reflect on what had been bothering her for days.
Suddenly, he jumped up and slapped the tall man beside him.
"I remember!"
The big man who was still drooling from his mouth was inexplicably frightened.
"Eldest sister, what are you doing! Isn't there no one today, why are you surprised, I was sitting in a good dream just now. The big man muttered.
"Don't dream, I'll tell you...... I finally remembered when Wigel appeared. ”
"What? You said the Count. ”
"Not the Earl but the surname, I finally remembered. About ten years ago, there was a very beautiful woman in the hotel, and she gave me the impression that she was a powerful witch, do you remember?"
Seeing that the other party shook his head, Hyara looked at the expression of a fool.
"Forget it, you don't know if I tell you. The woman was always writing, and she stayed with us for three months at a time, so I remember this person very well, and once I was in her room and found that the name on the book was Vigel. Heljala said excitedly.
"So what? it was more than ten years ago, maybe it was a duplicate name, or some distant relative of the earl. The big man said listlessly.
"It would be weird if it was a distant relative...... I clearly remember that a person came to look for her one night, and that person called her Hallita~ Heh, I don't know what this title means when you look at it. ”
Helyala had a look of hatred on her face.
"This is an ancient desert language, which means children of the sun god, and the only one who can call it is the emperor's house...... Or maybe the Empress. ”
