Chapter 360: The real cloud of war

Views:

Although Gao Wen thinks that he is a satellite spirit who has traveled through time, and has sufficient knowledge and endurance, every time he encounters something related to Tyre, he still can't help but think "Damn chicken, how can there be such a thing in this world?" The feeling of "a strange species", just like now, looking at Miss Siren who is lying on the water pool in the form of a big sea monster and staring at him with big eyes, he is particularly entangled whether he should go to san hek first or Return blood first.

Because Tyr has been casting healing spells in order to hang the prisoner's life.

As for what Amber said about some of Tyre's tentacles having a spirit-enhancing effect, Gawain didn't feel it. He thought it was similar to the principle that he was immune to the mental interference of gods. Many forces in this world that interfered with human minds were harmful to him. Nothing works.

"Now... let's say hello to the guests," Gawain looked at Tyre with trembling eyes for a long time, before finally turning his attention away from the sea witch, and looking at the sturdy one bound by the tentacles. The captive, who had only breathed his last, said, "What is your name? What is your identity? What is your purpose?"

Clement raised his head with difficulty. The moment he saw Gawain, he realized what had happened, and the terrifying creature that bound him dispelled all his thoughts of survival, but this did not mean that Then he will cooperate honestly: "Nothing... tell me..."

Amber was waiting for the old man's words, and immediately approached from the side: "His name is Clement, but he is disguised as a royal mage named Duke."

"Duke..." Gao Wen didn't know the specific personnel of Francis II's mission to the border this time, but after thinking about it a little, he guessed that this pretender might have been lurking beside the dead king all along, and his expression became subtle. , "So, your mission is to kill the king? You and the forces behind you want to sabotage this peace talk?"

Clement closed his eyes and made a gesture that he was not ready to answer, while Soldering on the other side came to Gawain and whispered a few words.

"You're pretending to be a mage, but you're actually a druid," Gawain looked at Clement and said calmly, "I think I know who you are, a lunatic from the Doom Society, right? "

Clement finally answered once: "You can't understand our great cause, say what you want."

"Actually, that's what happened," Gawain nodded. "From the very beginning, I didn't intend to understand your career at all. I just wanted to make all of you disappear. Clay... Mentor, right? Your actions this time It really exceeded my expectations. I admit that I underestimated you. I always thought you were just rats stirring up flames in a dark corner, but I didn't expect you to dare to stir up trouble on such a big matter... Let me make a bold assumption, since you can Going to the border to assassinate the king, it must be within the kingdom, you have to take action?"

Clement just sneered at this, and didn't mean to answer at all.

This made Gao Wen a little embarrassed: he knew that the unattractive old man in front of him (the appearance of this old man may not be real, after all, the followers of the Doom Society are good at changing body shapes) is probably a member of the Doom Society. High-level members, this kind of high-level cultists not only have great strength, but also have extraordinary minds. Ordinary interrogation methods have no effect on these people, and even spells involving the mind may not be able to break through their minds. Brain defense.

It would be great if this was an Eternal Sleeper. Gawain could still find a way to hack into the opponent's mind, but this is a fallen druid, and the situation makes people feel that there is no way to do it.

But when Gawain was struggling, Tyre in the pool suddenly broke the silence: "Maybe... I can make him cooperate."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"

"But this method is a one-time use." Tyr spread out his hand, and part of the free tentacles spread out, "At least according to the tests we did on those who call themselves 'Son of the Storm', this method can only be used once , and then the person dies."

"...you monster!" Clement was finally touched when he heard Tyre's words, he yelled as he struggled, "What do you want to do?"

"You should not be qualified to call others monsters." Gawain glanced at Clement, then thought for a while, and finally made up his mind, "Tyr, I'll leave it to you."

Although Gao Wen is trying to establish a controllable force from within the Eternal Sleeper, he knows that for the vast majority of extremely crazy and fanatical cultists, saving and winning are meaningless attempts, especially for Clement The only suitable way to deal with this kind of believer in the death of all things is to let Tire try her "one-time method".

With Gawain's instruction, Tyre's lower body of the sea demon immediately split into several new tiny tentacles, which spread towards Clement, and the cultist finally realized the great danger was coming, and began to become more violent. It's just that all his struggles are no match for those tentacles that have already bound him tightly and are still floating with strange rune brilliance. After only a few breaths, those new, tiny tentacles have spread to his body around the neck...

But at this moment, Amber who was standing beside Gao Wen suddenly called out: "Wait a minute!"

Tyre stopped in confusion, while Gawain turned to look at Amber: "What's wrong?"

Amber seemed to be quite hesitant, but in the end she took a step forward and looked up at Tyre: "I also have a question to ask him... Can you let this person hold on for a while?"

"Yes," Tyre nodded, "he will be alive until your inquiry is over."

Gawain glanced at Amber curiously, then looked at Tyre: "Very good, let's start."

Clement writhed and struggled with all his strength, and seemed to be on the verge of despair, but even so, he was still yelling loudly, his voice was surprisingly loud: "You will pay the price one day! You even You are not worthy of being God's meal! You are only worthy of becoming His spurned dregs after God's full meal! I will not give in! I will not give in!!"

Amidst the sound of cursing, several slippery and cold tentacles exuding a cloudy lavender magic halo began to spread upwards along Clement's neck, and drilled into the latter's ears bit by bit, sticking to the latter's scalp , Unimaginable fear and mental pressure gripped Clement's heart, as if endless illusions appeared in his mind, the illusory sound of ocean waves echoed in his ears, hidden in the layer upon layer of waves Innumerable indistinguishable low whispers, in those maddening voices, he recalled all the terrible legends about the deep sea. The end of the endless storm, the chaotic dark deep sea, the palace of the storm lord, the feast of sea monsters and sea monsters. field…

The eyes of this doomsday believer were wide open. At the last moment of maintaining self-awareness, he suddenly flinched. He felt that he saw a scene more tragic and terrifying than death, and that scene made him want to give in. But he There is no chance.

Tentacles had penetrated his earholes, scalp, and even eyes, and the brain of this doomed cultist lost the ability to think freely.

Till glanced down at Clement, who had finally calmed down, and shook his head: "I don't know what your gods like to eat, but your gods should all be delicious."

Even Gawain felt goosebumps all over his body from what happened in front of him. Looking at Clement's strange state and Tyre's creepy tentacles, he couldn't help muttering: "You can't let this Is the scene a little... milder?"

Tyr thought for a while: "I can turn the tentacles pink."

"Forget it..." Gawain quickly waved his hands, then looked at Clement, "Now I can ask him?"

"You can do it at any time," Tyre nodded slightly, "but try to use the words as accurately as possible, so that the efficiency of getting the answer will be higher."

Gao Wen hummed, and came to Clement: "Is Francis II really dead?"

The skin on Clement's face trembled, and a low and hoarse voice came from his throat: "I personally...killed him..."

Gao Wen continued to ask: "Prince Edmund is your accomplice? He is under the control of the End of Everything?"

"Edmund...Moen...needs Anzu's throne, he is the... collaborator of All Deaths..."

"A collaborator, not who controls whom..." Gawain frowned. He was surprised to get the exact news of Prince Edmund's patricide from Clement, but he was more puzzled than surprised. "What does Edmund want? Just to usurp the throne?"

This was the part he couldn't understand the most. Francis II was old, and Prince Edmund was the first heir to the throne. That talented prince didn't have to take such an extreme step. Why did he have to be under Francis II? After the border negotiations, he made such an astonishing move, and even cooperated with the cult members of the Death of All Things Society for this? !

Probably because the question was a bit more complicated this time, Clement hesitated for a few seconds before slowly answering: "... Edmund... not only wants to be the king of the second dynasty... he wants... the king of the first dynasty." Brilliant, wants... Ansu Quansheng, what he wants is... real kingship."

Clement muttered a few more words in a low voice, and then a strange smile appeared on his face: "Innocent and stupid pawn..."

This must be the true evaluation of Prince Edmund by this perisher.

Hearing Clement's answer, not only did Gawain have a thoughtful look on his face, but even Soldering, who was next to him, thought of many things in an instant.

"The real kingship..." The high-ranking ranger frowned, and he looked into Gawain's eyes, "That's why he wants to do these things after leaving the capital?!"

Gao Wen just sighed, and then thought of one thing.

He immediately asked: "Is Silas Lauren an insider?!"

"Sylas Loren...serve... Edmund Moen..."

Sure enough!

Silas Loren's allegiance is not to the king! But Edmund! but why

Perhaps... the Duke of the East is actually loyal to "Moen", the real Ansu Kingship, not the puppet royal family supported by the Northern Family

Gao Wen deduced Silas Lauren's position based on the logic that a great nobleman of this era might possess. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly asked a new question: "Has the peace agreement on the border been signed?"

"Signed..."

Hearing this crucial answer, Gawain took a breath, and after pondering for a few seconds, he asked the last decisive question: "Emperor Typhon... is there any of you?"

Clement's face trembled violently, and a word came out of his throat: "... yes."

"I see..." All doubts have been answered, and all mysteries seem to be solved. Gao Wen has always felt the cloud of war hanging over Ansu's head, but now he finally sees the truth of this cloud , "Edmund, and you, what you want is not the war between Typhon and Anzu at all... What you want is the second Anzu civil war!!"
