After a long time, the underground palace slowly returned to its original darkness. Daphne slowly let go of the hand holding Tedion, and Tedion also slowly walked away a few steps, as if nothing happened just now. happened before.
Berry rubbed his eyes and slowly regained his vision. He squinted and looked at the center of the explosion. The scene in front of them shocked them:
At the center of the explosion, there was a pit half a meter deep. The hard and flat ground was changed by Ryan's magic, and spread outward with the power of the magic explosion. In the gargoyle phalanx not far away, at least hundreds of gargoyles were affected by the explosion and turned into ashes. There was an arc-shaped gap in the originally neat phalanx.
A young man wearing a magic robe stood quietly aside, watching everything in front of him silently. Berry cleared his throat and asked loudly: "Magic Ryan, where is that mysterious man?"
Ryan turned his head, with a faint look of surprise on his face, but neither Burry nor anyone else noticed it. He pointed at the half-meter-deep pit and said to Bury: "All the black armor he is wearing is here. , has been blown to pieces. But I couldn’t find his people.”
"Of course you won't find anything." An old voice sounded behind Ryan. As if facing a formidable enemy, Ryan immediately turned around and was on full alert.
The black armor that was blown to pieces in the deep pit slowly emitted green smoke. The smoke slowly merged in the air and gradually formed a human figure. Soon, the image of an old man appeared in front of the six arrow servants. in front of the corps members.
"Did you..." Ryan asked.
"Yes." The image of the old man nodded. Although he tried his best to control his tone and make it calmer, the majesty contained in his tone was still inevitably revealed.
"Can you tell me now?" Ryan asked.
"Of course," the image of the old man nodded slowly: "You are the first person to defeat me, young magician, so I will naturally tell you everything."
"That happened a long, long time ago." The image of an old man slowly walked up to the high platform and sat on the throne. He waved his hands gently and told his story to Ryan who was standing under the high platform. :
"I am the king of Alexander's Third Empire, and my name is Andrew. On my 12th birthday, my father died on the battlefield, and the empire was facing disintegration. For the first time, I put on my black armor and led the loyal royal family. The guards stepped onto the battlefield of killing."
"Thirteen years later, when I was 25 years old, I finally put down the rebellion. When the guy who killed my father was escorted in front of me by the guards, I issued a harsh decree to exterminate all the rebels, with blood. It dyed the entire Yignas River red.”
"After 10 years of development, my empire has completely recovered its vitality. That year, I was 35 years old. On my birthday, I issued a national mobilization order in front of all the ministers of the empire and began the campaign of foreign conquest. The war soon spread to the south of the continent."
"Twenty-seven years later, when I was 62 years old, my territory was three times larger than when my father ruled. In addition to the areas I directly ruled, the kings of 9 principalities declared allegiance to me and became my vassals. .Excluding the prairie in the north, those damn orcs, and the endless Whispering Forest in the south, my empire can be said to span the entire continent."
"In this way, I gathered skilled craftsmen from all over the continent to serve me, built a huge palace for my enjoyment, and secretly built a mausoleum here. More than ten years later, on my 80th birthday, my men A minister of the country congratulated me on my birthday with a portrait of a woman."
Speaking of this, the tone of the old man, who called himself King Alexander of the Third Empire, Andrew, suddenly became a little gentle, which was completely different from his previous majestic tone.
"This is a portrait of a female magician from Wangyue City. I have had at least more than 1,000 women in my life, but the portrait of that young female magician moved me deeply. I issued a decree that shocked my ministers. Decree, I will marry this woman and make her my queen. Her first son and I will inherit my empire! I will train him to be a powerful magician, because only a wise magician can govern My vast empire.”
"What a pity, what a pity." King Alexander-Andrew's tone suddenly carried endless murderous intent: "This damn woman dared to disobey me. She actually knocked out her maid and put on makeup on the eve of her wedding. I became this maid and fled my palace. No one can ever disobey my orders, never!"
King Alexander-Andrew roared and shouted: "I issued a cruel order, and my most trusted general set out with 20,000 knights loyal to me. They once destroyed three countries for me and slaughtered more than a million enemies. .This time, they will bring the woman back to me, and if the woman disobeys my order again, they will bring her body back."
At this point, King Alexander-Andrew suddenly fell silent.
Ryan couldn't help but ask him: "What happened next?"
"Later?" King Alexander-Andrew's tone was full of confusion: "There was no news. My powerful knights soon lost any news. They disappeared. I sent more troops to find them. There was no trace, just like that, the female magician and my knights disappeared, and no one has seen or heard from them since."
"The authority of the empire cannot be challenged!" King Alexander-Andrew's tone became increasingly calm, but his words made people shudder: "I arrested everyone related to the female magician, including her family. And the whole family of the minister who presented the portrait. The dignity of the king can only be defended with blood!"
"Did you kill them all?" Ryan asked: "Do you have to kill people?"
King Alexander-Andrew did not answer this question. He looked at the emotional Ryan with his eyes, and the latter looked at him. Ryan suddenly noticed a trace of fatigue and a weak look on his face.
"I beg you, young magician." King Alexander-Andrew suddenly spoke: "This is the first time I have asked someone else."
"Killing?" Ryan said disdainfully: "Besides killing, what else have you done in your life?"
"Yes." King Alexander-Andrew nodded slowly: "Indeed, I have killed countless people in my life, but many times that was not my wish. I was supposed to be a happy prince, and slowly... I was waiting to inherit my father's throne, but who ruined it all? From the moment I put on the black armor, I made an oath to myself in my heart: The dignity of the empire can only be defended with iron and blood! "
