return to edgar

Gonzalez tells Link the truth about the 'betrayal'.

As Leo said, because he smoked too much, he had advanced lung cancer and had only three months to live when he was discovered.At this time, the god of death came to the door and said that as long as Gonzalez was willing to transform into an undead, he would let him become the death knight lord on an equal footing with Frost.Gonzalez did not immediately agree, and then God of War also appeared.Said that if Gonzalez can help Link break Frost's phylactery, his soul will be reborn as the true Chosen of Edgar.

Link's heart moved. It was indeed correct to guess that the second generation of gods and the gods of nature joined forces.Maybe the other two first-generation gods, Chenxi and Heiye, also participated.In addition to the Son of Nature, his career options include warrior and ranger, that is to say... Lorien, the god of elves, is also an ally. No wonder the retiring elf Yris is so interested in training himself.

Gonzalez went on to say that he wanted to live as a human rather than an undead.So he pretended to join the enemy as an undercover agent, secretly inquiring about Shuanghan's information.To take away Su Wu's soul energy in order to get him out of the illusion safely, the same is true for Leo.On the surface, the raid on the cathedral was to snatch Leo's soul energy, but it was actually meant to imply to Link that the key to unlocking the Frost Phylactery was hidden there.

Bound by the law of cause and effect, Gonzalez, who was not an insider of the incident, actually didn't know that Yan Dong's spiritual body in the illusion was the phylactery. He only learned that Frost Han's body before his death was the key to the plan through his identity as a high-level undead. ring.The moment Link successfully broke the frost phylactery, the entire illusion stopped functioning. Gonzalez's last memory was that frost's bones were turned into ashes, and countless souls controlled by the lich were released.

After waking up, he found that he was born in this world as a baby. Gonzalez, who had retained the memory of his previous life, thought he would turn into an orc, but he never expected it.His new identity is actually the grandson of Alex, the last commander of Longyan Castle.

The attack on Longyan Fortress will lead to the failure of the Northern Campaign, and only five of the twelve lords are left. In order to fight against the undead, the remaining princes have to fight against the remnants of the old empire, Belfast and Kerk, who have rich combat experience. It never occurred to me that former enemies would become allies.

Before the unprecedented crisis of species extinction.Ever since Belfast's death, the old Belfast emperor, who had been fighting against each other constantly, abandoned the previous suspicions and quickly condensed into a force through marriage.Gonzalez's new life was the product of a political marriage. His grandparents and parents each represented an old imperial army.The United Kingdom is composed of the five princes and two warlords of the old empire. Because the central and northern parts of the mainland were flooded by the sea of ​​​​storms, many nobles who lost their land poured into the south, breaking the original political structure. After the United Kingdom, but not less war of words.

In the end, Kerk, which was the hardest hit in the Northern Campaign, was assigned to the unowned Aiden.Originally they were descendants of the royal family and had the title of 'Duke'.After the defeat, the remaining troops and people were sent to the south by the Pillar of Wind.Aiden was considered a temporary kingdom because it was the highest and closest to the Pillars of the Earth.

And Belfast, which also lost its land, took over the large wasteland in the north-central bordering on the Sea of ​​Storms. This area is used as an area to directly fight the undead. It is always repeatedly submerged-ebb tide-resubmerged under the competition between the two gods of earth and water. process.Not wanting to repeat the process of building walls and regaining lost ground, Alex, as the commander of the resistance army, imitated the orcs and used mobile camps to fight against the undead, retreating when encountering large groups of troops.The small group of troops has achieved good results in the strategy of clearing and suppressing.While reducing the death rate, it also avoids increasing the number of enemies.

After Hohenheim ascended to heaven, the dwarves, such as the dwarves, occupied the eastern part of the continent. Together with the rich mineral deposits in this area, they formed a confrontation with the orcs in the south. A large number of dwarves and gnome slaves were acquired in his hands.As for the night elves who also live underground.Because of the disagreement with the devil on whether to exterminate humans or help the undead, they have fought for decades, and have not intervened in the ground war between humans, undead, and orcs for the time being.Fortunately, because the undead adopted a policy of killing all living beings equally, the orcs did not advance significantly northward after breaking through Longyan Fortress.Instead, they temporarily signed an armistice agreement with humans, agreeing that there will be no formal battles until the end of the war with the undead, and the occasional friction is also very small.

The Natural Alliance split into three factions, the Pillars of Earth for Guardian, the Pillars of Fire for Retribution, and the Pillars of Wind for neutrality.Speaking of camps, Gonzalez told Link that the real Edgar actually has a neutral camp, and the natural gods belong to this range, but the Pillars of Earth are obviously conservative, while the Pillars of Fire are too radical, and the Pillars of Water The Pillar of Wind is the only one that remains neutral even though the Pillar is polluted.He also warned Link not to talk about the name of the gods.In a world where gods are revered, this is very disrespectful and could easily invite punishment.The gods have many eyes and ears. Even if they cannot directly interfere with the material world, they can still give believers the ability to perceive. For example, if they are talking about a very confidential matter at the moment, if they read the real name of a god, then if the believer of the god uses the prophecy , you can get information related to the gods he believes in.

Because he was born with the imprint of a voter, the memory of his previous life, and his special status, Gonzalez had high hopes since he was born. I heard that he is now 15 years old, and Link sat in the back row grinning from ear to ear. , Straight boast that he looks too anxious.

"Here we are, there is Fort Watcher, the base camp of the Undead Resistance Army." Gonzalez pointed to the camp that appeared on the horizon. This mobile army, which completely copied the internal system of the Longyan Fort army, lived in simple tents.

Seeing the return of Gonzales who had gone out in the morning, the top military leaders headed by Commander Alex all came out to greet him, including a small number of exiled nobles from outside.

Before landing, Gonzalez told Link that he had already made arrangements to ask questions and answer them later, and don't say extra words.The situation here is far more complicated than Link imagined, especially since the identity of the Son of Nature cannot be revealed.

Gonzalez promised that he would take care of the Rono father and son and the villagers who had seen Link use the power of lightning with his own eyes. Although he was full of doubts, Link still believed in Gonzales and listened to his arrangements.

Among the dark crowd, Link only knew Alex, the commander of Dragon Rock Castle.Oh, it should be called the former commander of Longyan Castle, the rock barrier built by Belfast is long gone.

Falling to the ground, Gonzalez, who was fifteen on the surface and fifty on the inside, respectfully greeted the old man with white beard and hair. Whether in illusion or reality, Alex was his elder.

Alex's eyes met the young man who had just dismounted from his grandson's horse.Young, in his early twenties, his complexion is that of an Altyn, but his facial features... are people from the land of exile!

"This is the person you insist on meeting despite the danger?"

"Yes, this is a friend over there."

The implication is that it is another life weaver.The crowd erupted into a murmur.

"Let's talk about it in another place." Gonzalez's meaning was very clear, some things cannot be discussed in detail in public.

As a result, a small number of people composed of ruling nobles and high-level military personnel entered the large tent dedicated to holding important meetings.The strict hierarchy is fully reflected here. As the Grand Duke, although he has not yet formally taken power, Gonzales is the seat in the center. His left and right hands are the resistance commander Alex and the nobles who represent the military faction. The highest executive consul of the country, and the ranks are arranged in descending order.Since he didn't want to expose his identity as the Son of Nature, Link could only stand after entering the tent.

"You brought back the unidentified person again, Gonzalez, don't forget your identity at this moment!" Alex, the commander and grandfather, scolded Gonzalez for taking only a few men with him. The reckless behavior of staying away from the camp, if he had any accidents, would be enough to change the balance that was so hard to maintain.

"Grandfather, he is not unknown, he is a friend." Gonzalez listened expressionlessly, feeling extremely unhappy.He doesn't like being pushed to the front of the stage as a savior. Link's arrival made him feel relieved. Finally, someone can help him share the burden on his shoulders. That is the real hero who broke the frost phylactery.

"Friends? Over there, there are no faction constraints, no god restrictions, you can be friends with anyone! But not here! Remember your identity at this moment, Gonzales, you have been reborn here, you are the chosen one of the God of War, yes My Alex's grandson is the titular Grand Duke of Belfast." Gonzalez helped Link to speak and completely angered Alex, who was already angry.In recent years, more and more life weavers have come from the land of exile, greatly interfering with the original balance.

Gonzalez's expression was no longer as relaxed as before. He opened his mouth several times, but when he thought of the promise he had made, he finally said nothing.

After reprimanding his grandson, Alex turned his attention to Link, "Although it's rude to say this, as the commander of the resistance army, I hope you can show your identity. If you are a friend, stay here. If you are an enemy, die!"

I really can't like this old man, it's the same in the illusion, and it's the same here.

Link looked at Gonzales, knowing from his eyes that his true identity should not be revealed, at least not now.

"I used to be friends with Gonzalez and I still am."

It's a pity that Alex didn't like this and insisted on asking Link to tell the gods he believed in.

Over the years, Gonzalez has rescued quite a few Life Weavers near the Pillar of the Earth, all because of the relationship between the gods they believe in, and eventually either become enemies or competitors, and he does not want to add another one.Threatening to get out from the start, cultivating enemies is what idiots do.
