Chapter 424 Times have changed (12)

"President, we caught the young lady."

The one who reported the news was the captain of the First Guards.

In the study room on the second floor of Dawn Fortress, Savos was slightly shocked.

"Did they really catch her?"

"Really, in the yard."

Savos immediately stood up and walked to the window, casting a spell to observe the situation in the yard.

"How did you catch her? Where did you catch her?"

Without waiting for the captain to answer, Savos saw his daughter Natalie standing in the yard.

In less than seven days, this daughter has changed a lot.

Her bright and beautiful robes have been replaced with half-worn linen short robes, her meticulously combed long hair has become easy to manage short hair, her originally pink and white face is now stained with many stains, and her blue-black eyes have become firm and deep.

With just one look, Savos knew that this was no longer his daughter, but his enemy.

An enemy who will never give up.

The leader's voice came from the side: "We caught the young lady in the forest in the southern suburbs. She was hunting in the forest with several companions."

"When we found her, she stayed behind to cover her companions' escape. She didn't resist at all. She just said she wanted to see you before she died."

"See me? She still has the face to see me?!"

Savos smiled coldly, looked down at his swollen and rotten left hand, and his heart was full of hatred.

He doted on this daughter so much and gave her the best in everything, but she actually repaid him like this. She is really a wolf cub that can't be tamed!

"Do you want to see her?" The leader asked cautiously.

"Of course I want to see her!"

Savos gritted his teeth and said, "Bring her here. I will personally take her to see Lord Rupert."

"Yes, President."

The leader turned and left.

After a while, a team of elite warriors escorted Natalie to Savos' study.

"Father." Natalie shouted.

Savos snorted coldly: "No, I am not your father, and you are not my daughter, but my enemy!"

He has lived for more than 80 years, and he was also a very talented person when he was young.

He used all means to become the president of the Mage Association, and he has long been numb to the emotions of the world.

The reason why he doted on Natalie was because she was his daughter at first, and later it was just to cultivate a confidant.

Now that she has betrayed him, there is no value at all.

No, that's not right, this daughter has one last value, that is to prove her absolute loyalty to the Earl!

He stood up and walked to the door of the study first: "Take the person to the third floor!"

The study on the third floor is defended by two eternal guardians and is the safest place in the entire fortress.

After the arrival of Rupert in black, the study naturally belonged to him. If you want to see him on weekdays, you must pass the inspection of the eternal guardian.

Savos walked in front, and the guards followed behind him with Natalie.

Natalie felt guilty towards her father. On the way, she whispered, "Father, I apologize to you."

Savos sneered.

"No, you don't have to apologize to me, and I don't need to apologize either. I just need actual compensation."

"Natalie, you know what kind of ending you are about to face. If you hope that I, your father, can forgive you, then you are wrong!"

"I tell you, I will personally preside over your punishment, and you will wail in the flames for three days and three nights!"

His words were as cold as a winter night, completely shattering the last fantasy in Natalie's heart.

She sighed and stopped talking.

Soon, the group reached the third floor and stood in front of the two eternal guardians.

Natalie glanced at the two eternal guardians, selected the guardian warrior on the right, and began to recite in her heart.

"Powerful warrior, in the name of God, listen to my orders."

With this thought, the eternal guardian on the right did not seem to change on the surface.

But Natalie heard a voice in her mind: "Miss Natalie, I will fight for you!"

At the same time, she felt a very secret but extremely stable connection between her soul and the Eternal Guardian in front of her.

Natalie was overjoyed and continued to order: "Maintain the status quo for the time being, but be ready to protect my life at any time."

"As you wish, Miss Natalie."

After that, the two Eternal Guardians scanned the identities of everyone present according to the routine procedures, and everything was exactly the same as before.

About a quarter of an hour later, Natalie was brought to Rupert in black.

Savos trotted forward a few steps, with a face full of praise: "My lord, I successfully caught the traitor."

Rupert was a little surprised, because this woman was Savos's daughter after all.

He originally thought that the president would at least show a little heartache, but this guy actually treated his daughter as a stranger.

He even thought that the woman in front of him was disguised by magic, so he raised his staff and used the blood magic to check carefully.

Finally, he confirmed her identity. She was indeed Savos's biological daughter.

'What a good dog. '

Rupert sighed in his heart, but his face was full of indifference: "Very good!"

He stood up and said: "Now, take the traitor to the fortress execution ground, and summon all the middle and high-level members of the Mages' Guild to watch the execution together!"

"Savos, you will execute the sentence yourself."

Savos nodded immediately: "I feel very honored, sir."

So, a group of people escorted Natalie to the execution ground in the backyard of the fortress. Rupert followed.

He has a very cautious character and is also a rare mage with the gift of time.

He had a vague premonition of danger, but he didn't know where it came from.

Considering that he was in the mortal world, danger was bound to exist, so Rupert did not shrink back and brought his own escort.

But it still feels unsafe.

After thinking about it, he took the two eternal guardians with him.

About two hours later, about 800 people gathered at the execution ground in the backyard of the fortress, and all senior members of the Eye of Dawn were present.

There is a high platform in the middle of the execution ground. There is a specially built barbecue grill on the high platform. A moderate fire has been lit under the shelf. There was a cross erected next to the shelf, and Natalie was stripped of her clothes and tied to the cross naked.

President Savos was standing next to the cross, wiping a shiny silver carving knife with a white cloth.

At the last moment, there was a wave of excitement in his heart, and he whispered to his daughter on the torture rack:

"Natalie, this is all your own choice, don't blame me."

Natalie looked at the tall and thin mage in front of her calmly: "Father, I don't blame you, because without you, there would be no me."

"I sympathize with you because your mind has been completely distorted by this terrible world. You will always be tortured by pain and fear, and you will never feel peace, happiness, and satisfaction."

Savos was slightly shocked. He raised his eyes and glanced at his daughter on the torture rack. He saw that the other party's face was calm, and there was no despair at all that he was about to be tortured.

He was puzzled because the three-day torture was very, very cruel, and the victim would wail in endless pain until he died.

"Aren't you scared?"

Natalie shook her head.

Then she raised her head, looked at the spectators surrounding the execution ground, and shouted loudly:

"Pathetic mages, do you know why I want to kill Alex?"

"I'm telling you now because I don't want to be Count Gauntkin's dog anymore!"

"I also want to tell you that the great Sun God of War Rosen has arrived. He will completely change this miserable world. He will rebuild the glory of the eternal empire in ruins!"

"I would also like to say that whether it is Count Gunterkin or any other marquis or duke, as long as they are from Moon City, they are all hypocritical, cunning, and selfish devils!"

"Moon City is destined to fall from the sky, just like other moon cities that fell in ancient times!"

Saying such words in the mages association serving the Earl of Moon City is no different from inciting rebellion.

Rupert in black immediately yelled at Savos: "Cut her vocal cords~~~Don't let her talk!"

Savos became energetic, picked up the knife and stepped forward: "Natalie, I'm sorry."

He had killed many people and knew exactly where his vocal cords were.

At this time, he cut his daughter's neck with a knife, and the position was extremely precise.

However, the extremely sharp blade failed to cut Natalie's skin.

Natalie's magic power has been sealed, and her magic weapon has been confiscated, but there is still a seemingly thin, but ridiculously strong magic barrier protecting Natalie's body.

Savos did not believe in evil and immediately switched to magic cutting.

He was indeed a master of spells. He changed dozens of spells in the blink of an eye, but all of them were ineffective.

"How is that possible?"

On the torture rack, Natalie's mind was completely at peace.

She continued to shout loudly.

"Mortals~~Change is coming, and the authority of Moon City will no longer exist!"

"Sun War God Rosen will completely change the world!"

"Pray to God and ask Him to forgive your sins!"

The mages around the execution ground looked at me and I looked at you, whispering to each other, and talking about it.

People are confused and frightened by situations that have never happened before.

Rupert in black had a terrible premonition of crisis.

He clearly felt that something big was about to happen.

But he didn't know how this big thing would happen.

The only thing he can do now is to find a way to shut up Natalie.

"Guard~~Kill Natalie~"

The guards around him are all the count's cronies. Although there are only ten of them, their fighting power is very powerful.

At this time, five people rushed forward, pointing their staffs at Natalie, and five translucent, thigh-thick azure rays of light pierced Natalie's body from all directions like sharp swords.

After being amplified by the staff, the intensity of each spell is as high as 19 levels. The scale of the spell is more than a hundred times higher than that of mortal spells. Although it has not yet reached the high-power standard set by the Queen, it is enough to easily crush any mortal spell.

In an instant, Natalie's body was enveloped in azure light, and the aftermath of the spell instantly turned the torture platform into powder.

If Savos hadn't reacted quickly and retreated immediately, he would have been turned into powder by now.

The terrifying magic radiance lasted for ten seconds before dissipating.

But something even scarier happened.

Even the cross was melted, but Natalie was still intact!

She broke free from the restraints, stood firmly on the hot ground, opened her arms to the sky, and shouted with fanaticism on her face.

"Praise the God of War~~~~"

‘Wow~~~’

The onlookers around the execution ground were all shocked.

Since the establishment of Gray City, this is the first time that a mortal mage has resisted the siege of Moon City soldiers head-on.

The invincible myth of Moon City was shattered by the iron-clad facts!

Rupert in black had his eyes wide open, his body stiff, and was so controlled by a terrifying emotion that he couldn't say a word.

Because he discovered something very terrifying.

That is, his greatest reliance, the ultimate war machine of the Eternal Empire, the high-energy intelligent combat puppet, the invincible eternal guardian, actually rebelled!
