() On the way to Longyan Fort, Hull told Link that there was another traitor in Longyan Fort after Thunder.

Thinking that Hull was talking about Claudia, Link told Birdman what he had seen with divine power.

Rhodes pretended to turn to Lorien, the god of elves, but his true faith was Malik, the god of shadows.

Thunder is not a traitor, he just hurt Rhodes, and didn't kill him.

Lena snatched the souls of Thunder and Rhodes to summon the god of death and transform into a lich.

As for the golden rose...

Link was only looking at the three protagonists and completely forgot about that woman.When the divine knowledge was about to end, the corner of her eye caught sight of her running away back, and she seemed to be greatly stimulated.

"You seem to have misunderstood something." Hull's voice brought Link, who was immersed in his own thoughts, back to reality, "The traitor I'm talking about is not the half-elf Claudia."

"Is there any other traitor besides her in Longyan Fort?" Link was a little surprised. It couldn't be the leader of Dawn's Revenge Army?

"You know that man, Captain of the Dragoons, Gonzalez."

Too surprised, Link even forgot to flap his wings. Fortunately, Hull caught the peregrine falling from the sky in time.

"How could it be...no...it must be a mistake...it can't be him..." Link muttered incoherently.

Although the two brothers of the Su family introduced him into the game, it was Gonzalez who really guided him and blended into this illusory realm.He remembered the pertinent and practical suggestions, the frank and sincere smile, the habit of patting his shoulders, and the abnormalities before departure.

What happened, Su Wu is with him, nothing will happen?

Link quickly asked what happened. Hull said that he set off for the Great Rift immediately after receiving a letter from the commander of the Vengeance Army stationed in Longyan Fort. Black was also informed of Gonzalez's mutiny.

"It happened in the territory of Hohenheim. The dragoons and half of the mages were ambushed by the undead. Only a very small number of people escaped, and the rest were transformed into undead. According to those survivors, Gonzales first attacked the mage captain. Su, and then sacrificed the entire dragoon regiment to transform into a death knight. Hohenheim has sealed off the Wusen Canyon where the accident happened, and the news has not been leaked yet. The mercenary composition of Longyan Fortress is too mixed, and this matter cannot be kept hidden for long. .”

Link's mind was in turmoil, Gonzalez killed Su Wu?Is he crazy?What good is it to become an undead, this place is just an illusory space, everything is fake.What's the point of becoming an NPC in the illusion if it's not about dying or suffering from a terminal illness?

The words near death and terminal illness reminded Link of what Su Wu said on the phone.Gonzalez is a very self-disciplined person, with a very regular life and rest, and he never indulges in fun. Recently, he has been hanging on the game for a long time, which is very abnormal.Maybe...he has an incurable terminal illness, and it's perfectly normal for him to have the idea of ​​continuing his life in an illusion because he is afraid of death. Isn't Frost Cold just an example...

If the previous idea was a flash of inspiration, the thoughts that filled Link's head now made him so excited that he couldn't restrain his trembling.

"I know!!" He yelled, "I know the true face of Shuanghan!"

Hull made an emergency landing, and he grabbed the shoulders of Link who had recovered his human form; "True face? Tell me clearly!"

"Shuang Han is not Lena, but that priest named Aidan!"

"Who is that?" In order to deal with Frost and Cold, the Natural Alliance investigated Lena, and Hull had never heard of this person.

"The last of their circle. Yes, that's right, he..." Link's information to Aidan came from the dwarves Dante and Gonzales, "because he was the one who died before Lena transformed into a lich. Dead, I considered him but didn't list him as a real suspect."

Dante said that Lena loves Thunder very much and will never betray him.But what if the woman God saw wasn't Lena?Don't the undead have the ability to possess themselves?It would all make sense if the long-dead Aidan took possession of Lena's body.

"Impossible! Let's not say that Lena is a mage who is about to step into the legendary rank. As a voter of the goddess of magic, Lorelai, if her body is taken over by other gods, the goddess of magic cannot be unaware. Moreover, Aidan is still Chenxi Pastor, this is even more impossible!" He Er even said several impossibilities, denying Link's inference, "You are all speculation without evidence."

"I have evidence."

Hull was taken aback, the expression on Link's face didn't look like a lie, where did he get his confidence?

"Rhode was a follower of the forest god Lorien when he was killed."

"That's right, Lorien is a second-generation god who was born as a glowing elf. Jingyao, who used to be called the Great Green Forest, was his domain. Although he is not a subordinate god of Isol, he has a very good relationship with the Pillar of the Earth. Appeared in the Great Rift Previously, the perimeter of the Guardian Land had been guarded by his demon hunters." Hull confirmed that it was precisely because of the incident decades ago that the glow elves no longer participated in the defense of the Guardian Land.

"I saw Rhodes use shadow lurking with my own eyes, which is an ability that Malik's followers can only use." As soon as he finished speaking, Link's shoulder was aching from Hull's grasp.

Speaking of God's knowledge, why didn't Birdman whose main talent is Gasos not use God's knowledge to detect Shuanghan's identity?By the way~ Life Weaver!Frost is a player, and npcs cannot learn about people from other worlds who do not belong to Edgar. Unless their fates intersect, even fate weavers cannot use prophecy.

Before Link couldn't understand why Hull said that Frost's fate would intersect with his own, but now he understands everything.Ten years ago, Su Wen wanted to invite him to play together, but the game CD he mailed was accidentally hidden by his stepmother. In the end, Aidan filled his vacancy and became the last member of the Circle Alliance.Only Link can see the Magic of Destiny that even Su Wu, who is his own brother, can't see, because of this relationship!

When it comes to Malik and God, Hull is finally willing to believe in Link. The priesthood of the god of shadows [yin conspiracy enchantment] can deceive the target of the sinister conspiracy, even the gods can be fooled, but Hull still has a doubt: "Since Rhodes and Aidan are together He planned a conspiracy to deceive the gods, why did he die in the end?"

Of course Link has thought about this.Because no player witnessed the process of summoning the gods, the specific details are unknown.But there is one thing he has already confirmed, which is the need for soul energy.Su Wu and Gonzalez said that believers under the same god are all competitors. It is not completely incorrect. Aidan who is possessed by Lena uses the soul of different beliefs to successfully summon the god of death.

Link believes that soul energy is divine power or something similar to godhead, whether it is obtained from the gods he believes in, or from fallen gods scattered around the world, in short, three or more must be collected.The core of this game, "Summoning the Gods", is actually to allow players to help the gods who cannot intervene in the material world to collect soul energy and increase their own abilities.

Of course, these cannot be said to Hull.As for why Su Wen died, the reason is too simple.

"There are only four soul energies. Instead of sharing them with two, it is better for one person to monopolize them. Maybe Rhodes was kept in the dark from the beginning..." Link counted on his fingers, not counting the last summoned god of death. The god of shadows, the goddess of magic, the god of the forest, the god of war, and the dawn, a total of five gods were involved in this conspiracy.Assuming that Aidan made a private agreement with Malik to give him a share of the soul energy of Rhodes or other gods, and the remaining soul energy can also be used to complete the summoning.

Thinking that the goddess of magic that Hull said could not be unaware, Link made another assumption.Perhaps, Aidan also made a similar deal with the goddess of magic, so that the speculation of possession is more tenable.

"I know why Gonzalez chose Misty Canyon to transform." Hull suddenly said surprisingly, "It used to be the location of Lena's mage tower, and it was listed as a forbidden place by Hohenheim after she transformed into a lich."

That's right!Link clenched his fists: "Shuanghan wants to remove the traces of the past, so that no one can use divination to find his phylactery. The evidence of the existence of Thunder, Rhodes, and Lena is disappearing little by little, except for the incident related to that year. Related people, no one remembers them now."

Hull nodded, agreeing with Link's point of view.He turned into a giant eagle again, "Come on, Longyan Castle is still waiting for us to bring them good news."

At this moment, Longyan Fort, which has once again betrayed, urgently needs good news to boost morale.

There was no need to pretend anymore, and he landed on the high battlements of Longyan Fortress as the Son of Nature. Other than Alwin, Dante, and the other three regiment leaders he had known, there were a few Links he had never seen before. fresh faces.Based on their physical features, Link deduced that the one with only one eye was the captain of the Vengeance Army Black, and the older man was General Alex, the commander-in-chief of Longyan Fort.

The birdmen seem to be used to such big battles, and Link is still a little uncomfortable, looking very cramped.

Under the leadership of Alex, a group of people entered the vault hall that had been closed in advance. I remembered that Gonzalez said that this place would be used as a temporary command post during wartime.

The seats were also arranged deliberately. Hull and Link had two chairs alone. For Longyan Fort, the commander's remaining two cronies sat side by side, and Dante sat alone, representing Hohenheim's mage leader and The captains of the Dawn Sect's vengeance army sat apart.

"The matter of the night elves and the orcs..." Alex paused for a moment, his eyes swept towards Link. Although the commander was old, he had the strongest aura among all the humans present.

Hull didn't speak, but nodded to Link, indicating that he would speak.

Link simplified the process, omitting how he discovered and realized that Claudia was a traitor, and skipped directly to having completely resolved the threat of the Great Rift, closing the portal, making the orcs agree to terminate their cooperation with the night elves, and No longer want to destroy Longyan Castle from the ground.

Hearing the orcs swear by the god of war, the commander and head of Longyan Fort all smiled with satisfaction. This was the best result they could get.

"The fact that the former scout leader is a spy is an internal matter of Longyan Fortress, and it is inconvenient for the Natural Alliance to intervene. To help you solve the crisis of the fortress being almost captured, I want to know all the details of Gonzalez's rebellion." It can be seen that Hull is intentional. Leaving the whole thing to himself, Link did what he wanted to do.

Perhaps because the tone was too tough, the commander was a little displeased, but he just frowned. He nodded to the head of the mage, and the red-robed mage from Hohenheim stood up.

To Link's surprise, the mage, who has always been incompatible with the Alliance of Nature, bowed politely to him and Hull: "After receiving Kirk's request for additional staff, after some discussions, everyone unanimously decided to send The most mobile dragoons are heading north. The mage regiment is not in the scope of deployment. It was Gonzalez's insistence that I agreed to let half of the members and captain Su accompany him to support the northern war."

Su Wu went to the north was proposed by Gonzalez?Link clearly remembered that Gonzalez said that the commander dispatched the two regiments of dragonriders and mages. Since the commander asked the head of the mages to explain, he could only prove one thing—Gonzales lied to him.In addition, Su Wu's rank is only an expert, and he has just been abandoned by the system. It stands to reason that it is impossible to receive the main line of skipping the master.There are indications that Gonzalez has indeed long planned to betray.

Afterwards, Alex called another dragoon with a lesser injury. Link had seen him, and when he met a dragoon patrolling Mount Horacio, the young man asked Gonzales who he was.

He confirmed that the leader of the dragon riders has been not quite right since three months ago. He always looks at the Kaogo wasteland alone in a daze, and often loses his mind during routine training.After receiving the support order, he persuaded the mage captain to go to the misty canyon listed as a restricted area by Hohenheim with a faster straight-line distance. After flying to an abandoned mage tower, Gonzales ordered the team to stop and rest, and then he Enter the abandoned tower with Su.Having said this, the young man stopped.

"What happened next?" Link realized that this was the key.

The dragoons looked at the commander, and continued after receiving a nod of instruction: "The tower fell down shortly after they entered. We rushed over to investigate, but saw the regiment leader... Gonzales standing on the ruins, The spear was stained with blood, and the mage captain Su disappeared."

There is no body, so it doesn't mean that Su Wu is dead. Link didn't give up, and asked what happened next.

"I still can't believe that the head of the regiment would do such a thing. He..." Recalling the scene at that time, the soldier's face turned pale in an instant, "Undead, countless undead came out of the ground and surrounded us. We I wanted to fight back, I wanted to escape, but a huge skull appeared in the sky, it spit out a cloud of black mist, and the person who was touched instantly turned into a mummified corpse."

"Where's Gonzalez?" Link stood up excitedly.

"He was covered by a ball of red light, and the flesh and blood on his body fell off in pieces, and soon turned into a skeleton."

Skull... Slumped back to the chair, Link's expression was not much better than that of the soldiers who experienced the horror scene.

"The transformation is complete." Hull finally spoke.

From the commander of Longyan Fort to the two commanders of the non-staff garrison, they all looked dignified, and two traitors appeared at once, which is simply history repeating itself.

ps: In the past few days, the book review area has been stagnant.I wondered, isn't it more interesting to uncover the foreshadowing laid down before than the previous chapters?There are fewer comments for Mao, is it because I write too boring? (＠_＠)
