Death Knight

"Five days ago, when you met the death knights at the border, Motidal also happened to leave Wangdu's mage tower. Although it is not clear where he went, the spies have discovered that someone was with him I have used the Temple of Travel in Riddle. "Alanthe raised a stack of documents in Yang's hands." There is a detailed investigation report here, but now it can only be said shortly. "

"The identity of those people?"

"One of them came from the Barmartin Thieves' Union, and even if it wasn't the well-known Jack Weill, at least someone who could represent him."

"We already have the information in this area, not to mention that the Master Canados Council has always had a lot of influence in Freeport, and it is only natural to have links with thieves." Zephylis shook his head in disapproval, no outsider At the scene, the girl was more casual about her boss and fiance, "tell me another person's information."

"It's still a mystery," the Golden Lion smiled mysteriously, "but it has been found that there is a very close connection between the other party and the Silverwing Merchants."

"Silver Wing ...?" Bai Feng's fine brows frowned.

As a large-scale trade organization throughout the continent and even in Lorendan, the potential influence of the Silverwing Chamber of Commerce cannot be ignored by any ruler. In the face of powerful force and perfect administration, businessmen and the economy they control may not be terrible, but when gold coins and magic are combined, I am afraid that the king who is even more confident will feel like sitting on the floor. Besides, there was a poisoned dagger hidden in the dark.

"Now the central and northern parts of the mainland are affected by the Silver Wing. If the economy of the Del in their hands does not collapse, they have to be disabled, not to mention that a trade organization is indispensable for a country. Excluding Silver Wing, other chambers of commerce are the same. It will join in, and nothing has changed. "

"Just because of this vague threat, you intend to execute Motidal, the founding father of Riddle?" Zephylis concluded, adding the words "founding father" intentionally.

"Zeffy, this is a battlefield, not on paper. Even if the other party supports the orphanage plan, don't forget that most of the time your opinions are completely opposite." The third prince's tone was like a cold sharp knife, " Moreover, this is not only an action to wipe out political opponents, but also for the future of the empire. Otherwise, when Riddle reunifies the continent a hundred years later, perhaps the poor king will be kicked out by the old immortal elf the next day. He does not Just waiting to sit and enjoy it? "

"Perhaps ..." The girl replied softly, then turned her head and looked silently at the drizzle outside the window.

Ellent no longer spoke, he knew it was time for his fiancée to think. The golden lion waited quietly while gazing at the lover, holding her chin and watching the rain, and finally, Bai Fengyue's voice finally broke the silence in the carriage.

"I see, just do what you say. When do you act?" Zephylis turned, his eyes passing by the hunter's attention.

"Tomorrow morning." The Golden Lion responded with a smile. "The other party is the top mage. The knights alone are not enough, so we must join hands with the friends of the mage council. Haven't you always kept close contact with them?"

"Yes, I'll do it right away." The girl nodded earnestly. "But if Motidal wants to escape, even the magical interference of the high-level mage ..."

"The problem of transferring the square array has been resolved. I have relied on the technology of the Lorendan mainland to improve the very large protective enchantment. The necessary law array has also been placed in the building around the mage tower. It will be launched at the same time tomorrow morning to completely isolate the knot The magic flows inside and outside the world. "The prince interrupted the fiancée's concerns, and answered in a cold tone," he can never escape. "

Motidal stood at the window, carefully examining the strong restraints from the outside world. The entire mage tower and the surrounding area have been surrounded by an invisible but unbreakable spherical force field, which is not only unable to use the transfer square array to break through, but even if it is flying, it will completely fail when it contacts the force field.

Law array technology from the Lucifer Alliance ... The wizard wizard speculates that the third prince of the Riddle Empire still has some means. Nostalgia for the past made his actions inevitably hesitant, but the descendants of his old friends have attacked without any hesitation, which has made Motidal sad. But now is not the time for emotion-the enemy will soon be here, faster than expected.

It seems that everything has to be done with his own hands. With this in mind, Motidal walked along the wide spiral ladder to the highest point of the mage tower, where he would end Riddle's open fight in person.

The wizard wizard came to the top of the tower, and the vision narrowed by the narrow corridor suddenly opened up. In his eyes are the capital of Riddle, who has not yet awoken from sleep, and the gray sky above it. The rain has been quietly silent, and everything is covered with a layer of cold gauze. clothes. The head of the mage council waited silently on the giant platform at the top of the tower, letting rain wet his long hair and robes.

I don't know how long, five figures finally appeared on the other side of the platform. Through the icy rain curtain, Motidal can easily distinguish the identity of the enemy-the third prince Ellente and his lieutenant Zephylis, members of the wizard council Knud, Dagon and Kanel.

The three members of the parliament are all well-known high-level mages on the Canados continent. Coupled with golden lions and swordsmen who are hard to figure out, the elves know that the next battle will be extremely difficult. It might be possible to take the initiative now if you launch an attack now, but after a second's hesitation, Motidall gave up the intention of directly condensing magic, and only added multiple defenses to himself.

He was reconciled to see Riddle return to the path of expanding empire from his ideal country.

"Motidal, I think you should know why I came here." The golden lion stood ten meters away, and first spoke. He looked into the mage's eyes with seven points of ridicule and three points of jealousy. "Although finally It has become the most powerful force on the Canados continent, but for the outstanding king, what needs to be paid more attention to is the changes in the empire. Very regrettable, I am afraid that it is time to reorganize for the future. What do you think? "

"Two hundred years ago, I and your ancestors set up Riddle to protect this country at the cost of life, in order to allow a piece of land in the world where everyone can live in peace." The elf did not answer each other, but bitterly. His voice slowly recounted, "But why now it turns into a monster spreading the flames of war? I don't understand."

"It's empty preaching. So long-lived without understanding the cruelty of reality, the elves are really ridiculous races." Ellen sneered. "But if I don't understand, I might as well tell you, because the only law in the world is weak meat and strong food ~! Even the most powerful gods must desperately strengthen themselves from the moment they are born, because they know that once they are weak, they will be swallowed up by latecomers. Isn't that the case for the country? "

"If you can only use weak meat and strong food as your principle of action, you will never be able to progress!" Motidal raised his head and replied with a smile, his tone gradually becoming cold, "Tell me, except to destroy the enemy with your hands Besides, have you ever created anything? "

"Expansion itself is the result of progress, and strength itself is the product of creation." The imperial royal family retorted dismissively, with a backhand draw, Xueliang's two-handed sword had been traversed between the two. "For the Riddle Empire, I must completely eradicate You are a conservative who hinders progress ~! "

"It seems that there is no room for it." The vicissitudes of the sigh sighed, then stepped back.

With a one-to-five ... Dagon, who is good at magical interference and dissociation, must be solved first, and Motidal set a goal for himself. The magic in the air clamored for a moment, and the three top mages silent behind the golden lion also began to whisper. But at the moment when the atmosphere of the two parties reached its peak, a figure in white broke the glass-like check and balance unexpectedly.

"It's not one-on-five, but two-on-four." Bai Feng said lightly, and walked towards the wizard wizard with an unsuspecting gesture.

"Zeffy !? What's wrong with you? Come back soon!" Ellent yelled in a mixture of surprise and uneasiness. The prince believed that the elf mage must have used some kind of mind control, and across from him, the confused Motidal had gathered at his fingertips a temperature high enough to melt the steel.

But then, the sweet voice completely extinguished the flame in the elves' hands.

"It was the teacher who asked me to assist you,‘ Guru ’.” The girl walked up to her former enemy, looked up at the tall elf, and looked at the other person seriously. “Please call me‘ nightingale ’.”

At the moment when the title was called, Motidal's expression changed from confusion to surprise, and finally, he realized suddenly.

Nightingale ... Is she a student of that person?

"The content of the mission is to remove all obstacles, take complete control of the Riddle Empire, and use its power to block the enemy. But before that, I have some personal matters to resolve, please wait a moment. Zephylis Speaking gracefully, he turned away, with a beautiful and dazzling arc in his hand.

The fiber held in the hand of Fibrin is not a weapon donated in the memory of the third prince, but a long sword that is as soft as flowing water, thin and sharp.

Jing Wang Sword "Dawn".

Under the icy rain, the sword overflowed with a brilliance, burning the eyes and soul of the golden lion.

"... Why?" Ellent asked in a husky voice, and then he couldn't speak any more. The race for power, throne, and bloodshed was left behind, and now only Zephylis was visible in his eyes. Deep attachments floated in those pupils, the pain of betrayal and uncontrollable sadness.

"Because what you love is just the perfect phantom called Baifeng, but not the real me. The Golden Lion is proud, so it will never leave the dying sick child by the roadside, but unfortunately, I just happen to be That kind of existence. "The nightingale's voice was gentle and pleasant, but it cut Ellen's heart like the best blade." Of all passers-by, only the teacher was willing to stop for me and shield me from the storm. He It gave me everything, so when I got the name Zephylis, I decided to serve the teacher for life. "

"As for you, it's just a springboard for me in the political struggle, a prey under the law of weak meat and strong food. Things like engagement are nothing more than ..."

"This is not true, you must be joking!" Ellen interrupted the other with a hissing noise, "I don't believe it! Come back quickly, Zeffy!"

"Raise your sword, Ellenth, the third prince of the Riddle Empire. Please give up all confusion and do your best to fight, otherwise you will die." The nightingale shook his head and replied indifferently. "Because in the previous confrontation, I can't do anything more than Chengdu. "

...... Can't you even reach Chengdu? Although Zephylis's tone was calm and clear, for those who were called, the sound of soaking in the cold rain was more intense than the most violent poison. The golden lion bowed his head with a bitter smile, and when he raised it again, his eyes were completely covered by the haze of complete despair.

It turned out that Bai Feng never existed, everything was just the disguise of a cold nightingale.

"The three of you are not allowed to shoot." Ellent said with a trembling voice, and finally raised his two-handed sword and stabbed him. "Zefflis belongs to me, so I'll end everything ~!"

The next moment, with the painful roar, Ellen desperately rushed to the girl he once loved.

As the third prince of the empire, the famous swordsman of the Golden Lion, coupled with the power of the two-handed epee, there are only a handful of people in the Riddle Empire who can take his attack. But now, no matter how the huge weapon quenched by the cold light in the hands, it can't even touch the shadow of the nightingale.

Zephylis dodged all the attacks of the opponent, her sword-bearing hand was always elegantly behind her, and there was no intention of signing-nor was it necessary-in the eyes of the girl, the prince's movements and stillness The stakes didn't make much difference.

"Not even one Chengdu, right ~ !?" Allende yelled with a twisted face, and the erratic dodging of the nightingale made him feel humiliated. The fire ignited instantly in his eyes, and again and again fluttered away all the old love that had restrained him, and the golden lion waved his sword with madness. Anger, sorrow, and pain turned into attacks, and each beating was a question that the betrayer could hardly answer.

This scene is so similar to the discussion in the previous training room, but the cold air is full of Xiao Xiao's feeling. The opponent is no longer the white phoenix who will pout and play a small temper after losing the test. Instead, he can easily see through all his tricks and has ice-like relentless eyes.

Now, this glorious sword in front of you will never stop for the golden lion? No, it was dancing for another person from the beginning ~! Jealousy caused a huge wave in Ellent's soul, when his eyes suddenly saw the elven mage behind the girl.

It's all because of your relationship ~!

There was a vicious smile on the corner of the golden lion's mouth. The next moment, his big sword in his hands suddenly changed his trajectory, and chopped down at Motidal with the power of the mountain.

Zephylis's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she finally used the Jing Wang sword in her hand-this was the first real attack by the Nightingale. The girl turned her body gracefully in the movement that was hard to capture by the naked eye, all of the huge inertia brought by her was added to the slender morning light, and the arc of the cut air hit the sword that was cut from the front.

When the metal collided, there were countless burning sparks, and then Zephylis' beautiful face and two sharp swords crossed into the pupil of the golden lion. The Nightingale blocked the opponent's full-length slash with just one hand. No matter how Ellente pushed forward with his teeth, Chen Xi still didn't tremble, even like the hardest and thickest mountain rocks.

The slender wrist contained power that the prince would never understand.

"Fine, would you like to block the sword for him?" Ellent whispered in a trembling voice, and then the voice suddenly turned into a violent roar. "Then block it again!"

Along with the roar, the two-handed sword was cut down with the power of Wanjun, but this time it was a blast. Between the light and the flint, Zephylis, who had been unavoidable, leaped up into his two-handed sword. Before the other party had time to react, the flash of morning light had struck Elent's throat. The next moment, among the tens of thousands of icy rain lines, a blood spurted out, and a red mist rose high.

"After all ... weak and strong ..." Alanthe muttered what he often said, and then laughed. That was a terrible and dying self-deprecation, and he finally understood one thing before his death: the person who hopes to use force to achieve his ideal will someday be crushed by stronger force ~!

Zephylis simply ignored the last prince's last words. When it was determined that the other party could not escape death, she turned her attention to the three high-level mages-the duel was over, but the battle had just begun.

The girl in white stomped on the edge of the sword and stepped on the shoulder of the golden lion in just a few steps. Using this as a springboard, she suddenly jumped lightly into the air, and the long sword in her hand cut a bright line in the rain curtain, slicing straight to the nearest high-end mage, Dagon, who is good at magic interference.

Looking up at Zefei, who was swept down like a bird, the top member of the wizard council just snorted. Although the time required to chant the incantation makes the mage almost useless to fight back in close combat, a well-prepared high-ranking mage will be more threatening than the warrior when it comes out.

Dagon did not chant, he just made a simple gesture. The next moment, the orderly magic power that had been stored spewed out from the mage's hand, and the hot flames turned into a huge firebird, swooping on the target in the air.

The top-level fire magic "burning feathers" not only has extremely fast tracking speed, but also is unimaginable in power. Zephylis's only option is to dodge as soon as possible after landing, if he really intends to harden the front, Dagon believes that even if Motidal uses multiple layers of magic defense walls, she will not be able to save her.

But the Nightingale had no intention of dodging at all, and the King King sword made a shiny semicircle in the gap, and the big red bird was split into two in one fell swoop. The crashing and disintegrating flame torrents turned into two glowing **** of light, exploded violently behind the fallen female swordsman, tearing a crack in the overcast sky, causing the sleeping city to wake up in the roar.

"What ~ !?" Dagon said in disbelief, eyes full of fear.

The next moment, Chen Xi cut open the triple defense enchantment of the high-ranking mage without stagnation, and brought out a straight incision on the body wearing a robe, and blood burst out from it, once again stained with cold rain.

The counterattack from the other side arrived exactly when the first mage fell. Carnell cast nearly a hundred magic missiles in succession, woven into a giant net, completely blocking all the way to Zephylis. The nightingale glanced at the overwhelming attack, and then took an unexpectedly simple way to crack it-she kicked up and kicked Dagon's body out.

The poor mage was immediately smashed into a sieve, but the magic net was opened by a gap in the human shield. Zephylis breaks expressionlessly from the **** rain mixed with meat, and his left hand shakes smoothly. The next moment, a cold light suddenly flew out along the nightingale's slender fingers, passing through the rain curtain like lightning, nailed directly to less than five inches from Carnell's eyebrow.

One second later, the sharp shriek of the air being torn and the crisp sound of the crack of the magical imperial wall finally passed into the ear of the other party.

This dart, which is not too heavy, actually penetrated the two enchantments laid by the high-level mage, and was finally stopped at the last minute. Although there were no scars on his body, the sharp sharpness falling from his eyes was enough to make Carnele startled with a cold sweat, and the spell he was singing was thrown out of the clouds.

There is only one enchantment left ... if that horrible woman throws another handle, it's all over ~! Thinking of this, the mage who has finally returned to God hastily rebuilt the protective film-for him who can manipulate the magic as he wants, it is very simple, and it only needs two gestures to complete immediately.

But the nightingale moves faster.

Carnell had no time to turn his wrist, and a second cold light had shot along the same trajectory. The dart smoothly penetrated the two imperial walls in front of the target-the newly built layer and the original remaining layer-and then shot through Carnell's brow and penetrated his back. It's not just the red blood that splashed out of the body this time, but also the gray brain.

"The last one is left." Zephylis looked up, looking into the air.

The last high-level caster, Knud, deputy chairman of the wizard council, was hovering directly above the tower platform. The death of two colleagues earned him time to distance and cast magic, but even so, Knud couldn't be sure of his chances of survival.

How did this happen? If the tower is not surrounded by the enchantment, I can escape at least ~! The hunter who had become a prey thought gritted his teeth.

The mage stared intently at the two terrible enemies, knowing that he had no choice. His eyes were filled with murky light, and his breathing was short and heavy.

The girl who just solved the trio said nothing, but just shook her wrist. Another dart was shot up against the rain, but failed to hit the target-a huge translucent disc suddenly appeared under Knud's feet, standing still against the attack of the nightingale.

Unlike the previous one, this mirror-like enchantment is one of the highest-level spells in the defense system, "Mirror Return". It can reverse the material attack with the force and inertia contained in it 180 degrees intact, and then fight back, it is a nightmare for soldiers and shooters.

The dart that can be intercepted does not obey the reversal of the spell, but trembles and stops in the air.

Obviously, the dart maker applied counter-spells specifically for this situation. Two opposing forces oppressed the small weapon at the same time. The metal could not withstand this terrible torsion, painfully made a low sound and quickly distorted and deformed, and finally was nibbled into powder.

Witnessing his attack was completely resolved, the nightingale first poked his lips, then turned his attention to the elven mage behind him.

"Will you fly me up?"

"It's not necessary, just leave it to me." Motidal shook his head and smiled. "Although the mage is always the protected object in the team, we also shoulder the same in the showdown of magic and magic. Responsibility to protect my companions. At least give me this opportunity. "

Zephylis nodded.

The two waited quietly, and Knud's voice chanted loudly down the rain line. The invisible and qualitative magic in the air is gradually drawn to the center in this melody, as if an invisible hand is squeezing them. In the mage's hands, a ray of light condensed first, and then the magical power injected into the tide instantly expanded this point into a dazzling light ball.

The magic that can best exert its power in the rain is the Thunder. Since the enemy has no intention of attacking, the vice chairman of the mage council decided to start with the strong one, and completely end the lives of the two men with his best advanced high-level spell "Thunder Ruling".

The next moment, the light in the mage's hand finally burst like a balloon. Along with the deafening roar of the thunder, countless dazzling lightnings formed a magnificent bright blue waterfall, pouring down uncontrollably from the air. Not only did the rain turn into a deadly electric ball, but even the air itself was boiled.

The "Thunder ruling" exerted all its power, and this blow was enough to burn all the objects on the Riddell Plaza, including slate, into coke. However, the small platform under Knud remained motionless, and the surging lightning waterfall couldn't even drown the top of the tower, because before that, they were all completely dispelled by more powerful forces.

Motidal's right hand, like a lightning rod, absorbed all lightning. The long blue line containing huge energy wrapped around his arm like spider silk, but before it spread to the shoulder, it was completely dispelled and returned to invisible magic, just as they were before the magic.

"Just knowing how to increase your strength is not enough, Knud." The wizard wizard said, withdrawing his right hand, extinguishing the last line of electric light left in the palm, "Understanding the essence of power is what a wizard really should pursue."

The other side laughed a bitterly.

"Let me tell you the nature of magic." Motidal chanted the incantation before his chanting began, and the mirror-bound enchantment at Knud's feet broke in response-the elves counteracted with another mirror. Up the opponent's defense. Then, the silver lightning burst from the elves' fingers and flew towards the target in the air.

Facing an attack from his boss, Knud tried to make a final struggle, and he quickly converted the three physical defense enchantments in front of him into magic defense enchantments. However, the moment the lightning touched the wall, the light suddenly condensed together, turned into a tangible benefit, and nailed into the mage's throat without any obstacles.

There was a blood rushing out of Knud's mouth, and he grabbed the shaft with his hands, but fell out of midair with no sorrow. The once-famous Vice President of the Masters of Canados Council “snapped” on the top of a tower made of rocks and became a sacrifice of ambition with his blood-cooled colleagues.

"It's over." The elf scanned the four corpses in front of him, sighed, and then remembered what turned to the girl next to him. "Do the other people involved in this operation need to be eliminated?"

"It's not necessary, they are all my subordinates." Zephylis managed his wet but pretty short hair with his fingers. "In fact, the oversized protective enchantment is the technology I acquired, in order to be able to combine these high-level The mage went all in one shot, and I believe that it will also play a certain role in the battle against the Lich in the future. "

"Did you start planning early?"

"Yes, because from the beginning I existed for the teacher alone. It's just that Alanthe's advancement made the progress a little bit ahead." Nightingale replied lightly, then glanced at the elf, "Originally, if you were not your competitor It ’s not necessary to be a fiancee, even if it is for quick success, just ... "

"Just?" For this unfounded hostility, Motidal could only smile back bitterly.

"Only for humans with short life spans, every second is precious. Hard work alone is not enough. Shortcuts must be taken to catch up with the teacher." A faint rain and mist floated in the girl's eyes, and her voice was soft. Going on, "Even if the teacher is surrounded by noble elites, I hope he can leave me alone."

"Rather than dreaming here, let's do more practical things." The elf patted his companion's shoulder in kind. "Although sooner or later we want to return power to the people on the stage, we must now thoroughly master the entire empire and use Riddle and The power of the Thieves' Union blocked the action of the death knight. The rest of the aftermath cannot be taken lightly, and we will meet with the leader immediately after the end. "

"Well." The girl nodded strongly.

"Hurry up and hurry ..." She murmured to the hazy drizzle in front of her eyes. "I want to return to the teacher quickly."
