After receiving the news that the Death Battalion had returned to its base, Beeri personally greeted him more than ten miles away. An Fei, Susanna and others all had smiles on their faces. An impossible mission became a reality through their efforts. , anyone would show a satisfied smile.
"Succeeded?" This was Beeri's first sentence.
"Marshal, haven't we already sent someone to report to you?" Dalma Wangxia was a little surprised.
"I just want to confirm again! An Fei, is it really successful?"
"I guess... they should consider how to hold a funeral for Sejialan now." An Fei said with a smile.
"Okay...Okay!" Beeri laughed loudly, and then turned his horse's head and galloped towards the military camp, leaving the soldiers who had returned from the victory to hang there. From beginning to end, he only said three sentences in total. talk.
"Teacher." An Fei jumped off his horse and said respectfully. He grew up in a unique tradition. No matter how powerful he is, respecting teachers is a moral principle that cannot be violated. What's more, some teachers are really closer than family members.
"Once Sejialan dies, Beeri has too much to do. Don't blame him for being rude." Sol said with a smile, and then was slightly stunned: "Suzanne, are you injured?"
"It's just a minor injury." Susanna's attitude was as respectful as An Fei's.
"An Fei, although you have made great contributions to the empire this time, next time... don't be reckless again!" Thor's tone was somewhat reproachful: "How could you even think of using Susanna as bait? Kill Sejialan. We have many ways, and there is no need to take such a risk. If something unexpected happens, you will have to hold a grudge for the rest of your life!" Saul became more and more excited as he spoke, especially when he mentioned the words "to hold a grudge for the rest of his life". He even trembled slightly.
An Fei was a little surprised, but he still lowered his head: "Yes, teacher, I know I was wrong." He had never seen Sol lose his temper before, and now he suddenly thought of some questions that had not been resolved for a long time. Who is Sol's wife? people? Why have Niya never been heard talking about her mother? Yolande doesn't have a queen either, why is that? Do Kristin, West, and Glendon have the same mother? These questions have been in his mind for a long time. I just can't find anyone to ask, and it's not easy to ask.
"Teacher, I asked for it myself. In fact, An Fei doesn't want me to take risks." Susanna hurriedly defended An Fei.
"Silly boy, you are a person without any ideas. You just do whatever An Fei says and I don't know yet?" Saul sighed softly: "Forget it. Everyone is happy today, let's not talk about this anymore."
"By the way, Master Thor, there are two very strange knights around Sejialan. They are very powerful. I think... we should investigate their origins." Sean hurriedly changed the subject.
"Lord Sean, are you the Golden Knight?" asked a general accompanying him. "It's not a golden knight, it's not a light knight, and it can't sense the breath of the undead, it's not an undead knight. How should I put it... It feels very weird to people. They are like barbarians, relying only on their own physical strength to fight, but their combat effectiveness Very strong." Sean raised his left arm: "This is what they left behind. If Master An Fei hadn't saved me, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back."
"Let's go, let's talk when we get back." Saul said softly. Sean was deliberately changing the subject, but he seemed to be avoiding it.
Back in the military camp, Thor asked An in detail about the flying assassination process. An Fei didn't hide anything, he said it clearly. s
Sol's expression was a little strange. After all, the part An Fei chose was very special, but the effect was obvious, if An Fei started from other places. It's really hard to say that you can come back with a big victory.
"Teacher. I found... Mr. Beeri seems to be very scrupulous about Sejialan. Why?" An Fei asked softly, "I can't figure it out no matter how hard I think about it."
Thor pondered for a long time. Then he slowly said: "It's time for you to know these secrets. If we want to talk about Bailey's scruples, we have to talk about another person."
"who?"
"Gorman."
"Gorman?" An Fei searched his mind and asked in surprise: "Is it Gorman, one of the three great masters of the undead?"
"Don't look at us and the Holy See who shout and kill the necromancers all day long. In fact, we all know that there are compassionate people among the necromancers, just like there are despicable people in the Holy See." Thor said lightly. : "If there is really a necromancer in the world who has never harmed innocent people, it must be Gorman, even though he practices the most vicious plague-type necromancy magic."
An Fei opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect Sol to speak so highly of Gorman.
"Gorman seems to have lived for five or six hundred years. Because there is too much time, it has become boring. He has read almost all the books on the entire continent. It can be said that his knowledge is beyond the reach of any of us. In comparison." Saul smiled: "But what do you do after reading all the books? In order to solve the problem of killing time, Gorman spent fifty years creating a game. Haha...five Ten years is already a lifetime of energy for us.”
"game?"
"For us, that is a brand new field, but Gorman only calls it a game." Saul said softly: "You only know that Gorman is a necromancer, but you don't know anything else about him. By profession, he is a great alchemist, a philosopher, a bard, an astrologer, and at the same time, he is an invincible commander."
"Commander? But I have never heard of Gorman's deeds in leading the battle?"
"For this undead disaster, the Necromancer's battle plan was formulated by Gorman decades ago. Many people believe that we have once again defeated the Necromancer's conspiracy. Now victory is in sight, but what's the truth?" Er sighed: "Actually...Gorman succeeded! The wild spread of undead creatures has disturbed the entire continent, but they took the time to establish their own base on Greenwich Island. His Majesty once sent a spy to investigate, Although there is no way to get close to Greenwich Island, the ghostly wind of bones swirling around the entire island is enough proof that it has become a paradise for the dead."
An Fei fell silent.
"If you want to destroy the Paradise of the Undead, you must gather the power of the entire continent and launch an attack as soon as possible. Unfortunately, your Majesty thinks so, will others think so? Your Majesty has sent people to test the attitudes of other kings, and they all believe that giving an island to the undead does not count. What, and our Mao Empire is their number one enemy." Thor showed a wry smile: "In the past, it was difficult for necromancers to find a safe place to stay and could only hide everywhere, but every time they launched a war, they It can cause an earth-shaking disaster. If you give them a base, their strength will expand at an extremely fast rate!"
"If your Majesty can show enough sincerity, you may be able to gain the trust of other kings." An Fei said.
"Sincerity? Neither Edward VIII of the Shansha Empire nor Philip II of the Ellison Empire are people we can cooperate with. Their vision is too short-sighted. The sincerity expressed by His Majesty can only be given to them in vain. An opportunity to plot against us!" Thor shook his head.
An Fei was silent again.
"After all, these are things for the future. Let's not talk about it now, let's talk about Gorman." Saul said slowly: "Gorman spent fifty years to create a magic badge and activate the magic badge. It can bring people into an illusory and real world. In that world, there are no civilians, no royal courts, and no churches, only warriors. There are various types of warriors, for example, the barbarian berserker army, the Flash The Griffin Flying Brigade of the Saudi Empire. Gorman's greatest pleasure is to enter the world he created. Today he leads this army to attack that army, and tomorrow he leads that army to counterattack this army, or organizes a coalition army to fight with another army. A coalition army fights. Haha... For Gorman, this is just a game, but for us, it is an extremely amazing achievement! Because he created his own world! Even though it is illusory, An Fei, can you understand me?"
"That doesn't look like the Internet..." It's not just understanding, An Fei even feels familiar, isn't it
"Twenty years ago. Bailey met Gorman. At Gorman's invitation, he entered that world." Saul sighed: "Listen to Bailey. The terrain of that world is similar to that of the continent, and even There are also various cities. Beeri chose the city of Blacknia and fought an offensive and defensive battle with Gorman. For the first time, Beeri lost miserably. He thought it was because he was not familiar with that world. Because of this, the soldiers he commanded were all very sluggish, without their own consciousness and judgment, and relied entirely on his spirit to command. Beeri felt uncomfortable. But then he fought more than ten games in a row, and Beeri lost every time. It's very tragic that the last time, Gorman only mobilized the gryphon flying brigade to continuously harass, causing Bailey to lose more than half of his military strength."
"But what does this have to do with Sejialan? Could it be..." An Fei suddenly realized a problem.
"You guessed it right, Se Jialan is Gorman's student." Saul said slowly: "Se Jialan has lived in that illusion since she was a child. It can be said that the battles she has personally directed are far more than Not to mention, Gorman has left a shadow in Berry's heart. Although Bailey rarely mentions it, we all know it."
"Why didn't Lord Beeri kill Gorman?"
"When we first met, Gorman used a special method to hide his aura and change his appearance. When we found out later... who would dare to hurt a magician who has mastered the forbidden curse of natural disasters? Don't forget Well, Gorman practices plague undead magic. He releases the forbidden curse and may even kill all the people in a country!" Saul said with a bitter smile: "Also, Gorman has betrayed Minos I, no. We no longer work for the Necromancer, the enemy of our enemy is our friend, not to mention, the wisdom displayed by Gorman can impress everyone. I don't want to say this, but I have to admit that at least Bailey has been impressed. "I...I really don't know what to say. I assassinated Sejialan with my own hands!" An Fei also smiled bitterly: "Then will Gorman..." Listening to Saul's tone, Gorman seemed to be He is the highest-ranking existence among the three masters of the undead. If Gorman comes to seek revenge on him, the consequences will be unimaginable. He feels that his current strength is not enough to fight against that kind of existence.
"No." Saul shook his head: "Gorman stated his position a long time ago that he will not interfere in the disputes on the mainland. In fact... we have known about Se Jialan a long time ago, so after she emerged, we immediately Attention was focused on her.”
"long, long ago?"
"Yes, Gorman told Beeri at that time that he had accepted a little girl as his student, the daughter of Victoria, the superintendent of the Shansha Empire. He also said that Beeri should be careful and not lose to him. student." Saul sighed a little: "Do you know why His Majesty was willing to risk infamy and issue an order to attack Princess Victoria more than ten years ago?"
"Why?"
"One is to test whether Gorman will keep his promise. The other is to wring out Se Jialan's wings in advance. With Gorman's full support, Se Jialan's future achievements will be limitless! Princess Victoria is very politically savvy, and with one mother and daughter in charge of the government and the other commanding the army, what kind of threat will this pose?"
"What happened next?"
"After Princess Victoria was killed, Sejialan cried and begged Gorman to take action, but Gorman refused. Although Gorman's true appearance was ugly, he always gave people a very kind feeling. But that time, Gorman behaved very coldly." Saul said softly: "He said that he is just a teacher who wants to pass on knowledge, and is not anyone's tool, let alone anyone's weapon."
"Why did he choose Sejialan?"
"Well... I don't know, maybe it's guided by astrology."
"Teacher, who else knows about Gorman's existence?"
"This is top secret." Thor said softly: "I would not talk to you about this without His Majesty's permission. Gorman has betrayed Minos I. We must not only tolerate him, but even protect him. . I think... Edward VIII should also know, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why he suddenly changed his attitude and fully supported Sejialan."
"Gorman only has one student, Sejialan?"
"It seems... there are two, at least two." Saul thought for a moment: "Bieri overheard Gorman talking about that Sejialan only learned military commander skills, and there was another child. His knowledge was passed down, but unfortunately Gorman didn’t tell us, so we couldn’t investigate at all.”
An Fei was silent for a moment: "Teacher, I think you think too highly of Sejialan."
"oh?"
"Yes, that kind of realm is indeed magical, but an illusion is an illusion after all, and the real world is much more complicated!"
"Haha... Your Majesty has the same opinion as you. We have all read the battle report of Sejialan's annihilation of the rebels. Her plan was meticulous and the battle process was very exciting. Beeri said that it would be difficult for him to compare with Sejia. Lan did better. But recently we have also seen the weakness of Sejialan, or in other words, the weakness of the Shansha Empire. Her coordination ability is not strong, and she was not able to really control the coalition forces in the end; the trust she received The support and support are very limited, otherwise she would not be able to forcefully attack the checkpoints and break into the mercenary country. The most important thing is that the power of the Shansha Empire cannot compete with us, so she must join forces with others." Suo Er smiled and waved his hand: "Let's not talk about Sejialan. After all, Sejialan has become history, right?"
