Fernando felt that his breath was stuck in his chest, and he couldn't get it out. This old fox actually deceived everyone! And what's even more hateful is that he also hinted in advance, watching himself and others being misled like watching a drama!
No wonder he wasn't worried at all that "Dark Blue Gift" Sharp would go back and expose him!
Fernando suppressed his anger and followed Arnold to fly out of the forest. The aftermath of the legendary battle can destroy this place!
"Has Lord Death's strength returned to the third level?" Douglas repeated one of Fernando's questions. At this time, he is more concerned about the strength comparison between the two sides. Others are trivial and can be discussed after the matter is over.
In the depths of the forest, the light and shadows are changing, and the snowflakes are flying. It seems that there are countless ghosts wandering in it, which makes people shudder. Arnold squinted his eyes and looked back, smiling like a real fox: "Your Excellency 'Lord of Death' was killed by the Pope The body, soul, and phylactery were all shattered, and he almost fell completely. Fortunately, the Pope did not use the 'God's Descent' at that time."
"Later, His Excellency 'Death Lord' relied on the soul core preserved by the legendary secret technique, fused with many other soul fragments, resurrected in the way of alchemy life, and reshaped the body."
In the telepathic connection, he talked about the death lord in a leisurely manner, as if he had no doubts about the outcome of the battle. After all, the death lord was once the pinnacle of the legend, and he was also a terrifying strongman with an undead army under his command. Now that the strength has declined seriously, there is no problem in dealing with a "Heart of Time" who has not yet been promoted to the third level: "However, there are great hidden dangers, the fragments conflict with each other, the main consciousness is often disturbed, and most of the spell models are It became incomplete. Therefore, it has not been able to recover its strength for a long time."
"It wasn't until more than ten years ago that His Excellency Tananos slowly absorbed other fragments by relying on his in-depth research and mastery of the soul, and then he slowly recovered the strength of the legendary third-order, perhaps in a few decades. He just back to the top.”
"It doesn't seem like a big problem..." Fernando said subconsciously.
His judgment was based on reality. After the long Dawn War, everyone knew that at the same level, mages were better than knights and clergymen, but the time interval for mages to grow was too long. Much higher than the two, especially the latter, so it slowly fell into a disadvantage.
In addition, the necromancer, who symbolizes death, resurrection and life, belongs to one of the three most powerful magicians because of his deep understanding of the soul. And more deadly and weirder!
Therefore, even if Cthonia is a variant of the "Time Dragon" bloodline, a powerful knight who can compete with mages of the same level, he will not have any hope of winning in the face of necromancers who are one level higher than himself, it just depends on whether he can Seize the fleeting opportunity to escape.
Arnold smiled and did not respond to Fernando's words. Instead, he took the initiative to explain this action to the two: "Actually, while contacting organizations such as 'Red Eye' and 'Soul Supreme', I also tried to 'say hello' to the three legendary lords, and got satisfactory results." answer."
They were very fast and had already reached the edge of the Black Forest, so they turned their heads together again and looked at the battlefield of the legendary powerhouses.
At this moment, in the mist of dead souls floating and struggling with countless soul faces, a dimly flickering light suddenly flew out, all the way up. All obstacles are like phantoms, and they don't slow it down for a moment at all, as if they are in different time and space from each other.
"The power of time is really tyrannical..." In the telepathic connection, Douglas sighed with emotion.
Before the words fell, the sky appeared slightly brighter due to the dancing ice and snow. It became dim all of a sudden, and a huge dragon descended in a circle. Its muscles were rotting, and bones could be seen in the depths. Pus and water flowed horizontally, and pale flames were spitting out from its mouth.
This turned out to be a "dracolich", a legendary undead creature!
This death dragon spread its wings, covering the sky and the sun, leaving half of the forest in absolute darkness, wrapping the passing "time" inside, and only vaguely seeing the dim light struggling, tearing.
In the air nearby, two huge figures appeared again, one was a mummy wrapped in yellow-brown cloth strips, Douglas and Fernando could feel the tyrannical aura in the distance, and the other was a monster with only skeletons left. , it is larger than the dracolich, as if it is the skeleton left behind by the legendary sea monster in the endless ocean.
These two undead, who are absolutely legendary, plunged into the deep darkness created by the "dracolich" under the entanglement of their respective halos, so the last haze of that "time" was also covered.
In the forest, ghosts, zombies, skinless dogs, mummies, dead souls, ghosts and other undead creatures are like raging tides, climbing and covering the "darkness".
"A necromancer of the legendary level is terrifying to the point of horror, especially he is still famous for mastering the powerful undead army's 'death lord' profession, Cthonia is over..." Fernando has been deeply involved in the necromantic system, seeing The scene at this time was inevitably a little dumbfounded.
Among the other legendary professions of the necromantic system, whether it is "Pale Lord" or "Demi Lich", although there are also many "helpers", they are not as good as "Death Lord" who takes this as their "professional job". The two professions are more inclined to instant death spells, soul attacks, and mysterious states.
If the Pope hadn't destroyed the main "legion" of the "Lord of Death", he alone would have been able to withstand most of the legends in the Great Holm area. You know, when he was in his prime, the third-tier legendary servants of the dead were all dead. There are two!
The depths of the forest were dark, without any sound leaking out, and it was extremely quiet, weird and terrifying, making it impossible for people to understand the progress of the battle. Therefore, Fernando had no choice but to look back and continue the "topic" just now: "Satisfied answer ?”
Didn't the old fox say before that only with the cooperation of the nobles can the organization of the three legendary mages be moved to join? Is he cheating again
Arnold glanced at him and Douglas, and the old god said: "Although Your Excellency Tananos was dissatisfied with the actions of the empire and was unwilling to go to Alto to help, but as one of the strongest people who once stood at the top of the world , he does not lack judgment on the situation, and understands that this is the last chance to save himself!"
"Take advantage of the opportunity when most of the main force of the church is dragged to the west by Abel, Dracula, Denissus and other powerful people of various races and the legendary lords of the empire. We must save ourselves! Once the dust settles, it may even be in the sewers. The rats are worse!"
"This is the last chance, either die or live a better life, we understand. They, the elite among the magicians, also understand that even if I don't contact 'say hello', they should have made some moves recently. "
Speaking of this, Arnold laughed: "At first they didn't value us very much, but Sharp's entrustment gave me inspiration, so I have this action. From the very beginning, the real goal is 'the time of time'. Heart'Cthonia, the most hopeful epic knight among the nobles, is also relatively close to the strong man of the church."
"No wonder you were so active in promoting Sharp's random commission without further confirmation!" Fernando felt more and more frustrated. I didn't see this, until now when I think about it, I realized that the old fox's attitude was too eager!
Arnold smiled and said nothing, but Douglas nodded and said: "Even we believe that this time is to assassinate Alfonso, how can Ketonia doubt it?"
"But what if Rigg isn't a traitor? The Heart of Time hasn't arrived yet?" Fernando already understood that fulfilling Sharp's commission was only a superficial disguise to cover up the real goal, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
Arnold smiled like a fox who stole a chick: "The real target is Alfonso. By assassinating him, we will stir up conflicts between the nobles and the church, win over some of the big nobles represented by Sharp, and gain room for survival from it." .”
ah? Fernando looked at Arnold in astonishment, feeling that he couldn't keep up with his train of thought.
Arnold laughed and said: "First of all, you have to always remember our path: win over the nobles and provoke their relationship with the church. Therefore, whether it is besieging the pro-church 'Heart of Time' or assassinating Alfonso, it is Fight for this path. It’s just that the former works better, the latter less.”
"The latter is our minimum guarantee where the former cannot be done, and it is definitely not just a disguise."
Fernando listened very attentively, and vaguely grasped some essential things. For the first time, I desperately wanted to hear what the old fox had to say.
Arnold's eyes turned to Douglas, and he said with a smile: "If you want to achieve your goal smoothly, you must never formulate a plan that is interlocking and so refined that even a slight accident in any link will fail, because there are many accidents in actual actions. It's scary, and the human heart is too complicated to fully grasp."
"The key to action lies in concealment, disguising, deception, concealing one's true purpose, disguising as another idea, and this idea will help the realization of the real purpose to a certain extent, so as to avoid failure to the greatest extent, because the enemy destroys What you really want is not what you really want, and even his sabotage has helped you, regardless of disguise or deception, and it is inseparable from the support of detailed information and the concealment of key information about yourself... "
He flew outside the forest with his hands behind his back, his white hair fluttering, and he talked eloquently, with an indescribable calmness, which made Fernando stunned for a moment, and cursed from the bottom of his heart: The old fox is really an old fox!
But why doesn't he usually speak in such detail
Douglas listened quietly, feeling similar to Fernando. Before the Battle of Antiphole, he had been concentrating on research and was rejected by other magicians. In the process, he suffered a lot and learned a little bit slowly, but these experiences were so obscure that he still seemed jerky, but after hearing Arnold's explanation at this time, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment and comprehension .
His heart moved: "Mr. President, are you teaching me?"
He used honorifics.
Arnold turned his head, looked at the forest that was still shrouded in absolute darkness with a smile, and said old and sentimental: "No matter how strange your question is, you are the magician with the most leadership potential in the union, hey, although Fernando Smart, but too impatient and impatient, so I have to tell you some of my experiences before I die."
"Old fox!"
"Mr. President..."
Arnold raised his hand to stop their words, and continued: "In this war that made magicians desperate, so many legendary lords have fallen, let alone me? Maybe at some point, I will be killed by a cardinal, an epic knight or If the night watchmen are killed, I will not be luckier than others, and maybe within a hundred years, I will be old and dead, this is the law of nature, unless I become a legendary magician, it will be difficult to break through."
"My greatest wish now is to hope that magicians can return to the highest position in this world and build a brilliant and splendid magic empire."
His eyes did not leave the legendary battlefield, and his voice became slightly lower: "I don't know if I can live to see this scene..."
I only wish to see "you" return to the highest level in my lifetime!
His back is a little stooped, and his white hair is so obvious.
At this time, an unimaginably brilliant light erupted in the darkness, illuminating the world.
