Heart of the Castle

Chapter 472 Rejecting the Holy Light, Unlucky Lich
"You don't need to pay anything?" Li Wei repeated it in a questioning tone, staring into Titos's eyes with awe-inspiring eyes, and let the Holy Light Knight Even felt a little uneasy. "Master Titos, my faith is the God of War Balud, do you want me to convert to the Lord of Glory, Flandala?"

"It's not just that." Titos calmed down and replied, "Not only do you believe in my lord, but you also need Mr. Li Wei to join the Temple of Radiance and become a member of our great temple guardian knights. Of course, they are not ordinary members. The position left for you by the Temple of Radiance is the head of the Oita, which is equivalent to the level of an archbishop. The Griffon Knights under your command can also enjoy the treatment of the Knights of the Temple of Radiance, and you can get everything from weapons and equipment, training facilities to various divine scrolls , the distribution of potions."

"I'm very grateful for the attention paid to me by the Shining Shrine, and I'm even more grateful for your hand of friendship." Li Wei answered him carefully, "But please forgive me for not agreeing, I respect every devout believer of the Golden Sun, and I hope You can respect my belief in the god of war Balud."

Titos obviously rarely received such a decisive rejection. Although his expression was still trying to maintain a kind look, the two beards above his lips were already trembling, and a gloomy flame was burning in his eyes.

"Master Li Wei, I ask you to think carefully about my proposal, and don't rush to make a choice of rejection." When he spoke again, his voice was still steady, but it seemed to be pregnant with thunder and storm. "Perhaps you think that a piece of imperial edict from His Majesty the Dragon King will allow you to sit firmly in the position of an important minister of the kingdom? That is not an easy matter, Mr. Li Wei. After all, your foundation is still very shallow. If you want to To make this identity play its due role, the help from the Temple of Radiance is indispensable."

"I didn't take over the position of Minister of the Kingdom for the sake of power." Li Wei said firmly, "And the belief should not be forcibly changed by any external force. This is what I have always insisted on."

"So you refused to accept help from the Temple of Glory just for such a ridiculous reason?" The Holy Light Knight Titos swore, "What a good time it is now, do you know? His Majesty the Dragon King is seriously injured, I'm afraid It is difficult to retake the throne in a short period of time, and the crown prince is still young, and it will take at least two to three years to take over the power. Before that, the round table discussion system will be reactivated. If you can become the Guangyao Temple One member, Sebasta and the Hull family will become your supporters, and the Ansair family should also stand in the same camp, right? That eunuch chief Bamilian never held clear objections. As for Gregor, the Earl of the Mountain and the Marquis of the Dreadful Reeves, both of them bear terrible charges, and until they can clear themselves, there is absolutely no place for them in the Round Table Council."

Seeing that Li Wei's expression didn't change, Titos snorted, and said to the Griffin Lord with a heavy tone, "This way you can hold the power! Four votes in hand means that the Round Table Council has been controlled by you." In your hands, from south to north, the entire Kingdom of Arthur is in your pocket, and the Temple of Radiance will fully support you and become the de facto uncrowned king of the Kingdom of Arthur."

Hearing the last sentence, Li Wei pursed his lips angrily. He cast a sharp glance at Titos, and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knight's sword at his waist. "Lord Titos, I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now. But if you continue to pester me, as an important minister of the Kingdom of Arthur, I'm afraid I will arrest you in the name of treason and hand it over to His Majesty the Dragon King." .”

"Since this is the case, I understand what you mean." The Holy Light Knight Titos nodded sullenly, and then quickly left with angry steps.However, just as his figure was about to disappear at the door, he turned around again, tried his best to restrain his anger and said, "Lord Griffon, although you rejected our hand, the gate of the Temple of Radiance will never be closed." Opening up for you, this... Please remember it firmly."

Li Wei needed to use all his willpower, so he didn't spit at Titos fiercely. He didn't take a deep breath of the cold winter night wind until he watched the back of the Holy Light Knight disappear at the foot of the tower. The flame of anger burning in his chest was suppressed.

"Is this the meaning of the Temple of Glory? Or is this Holy Light Knight's own idea? No... If it is his own idea, Archbishop Sebasta can't count on it..." He muttered to himself Floating in the air, then turned and walked towards the central castle.

Li Wei originally wanted to go back to his room to take a nap, but there was a griffin's cry above his head, and then a brown griffin flew down, its wings kicking up waves of dust. "Master Li Wei, something has happened outside." A muffled voice came from the back of the griffin, and then the burly man in steel plate armor lifted his mask, revealing the rough and handsome face of Draconson. face.

"What happened?" Levi asked in surprise, "Could it be that even Sir Rodriguez can't handle it?"

"Sir Rodriguez has already rushed away, but he can only barely entangle that guy. Master Frederick said that only you can deal with it, and also said...to use the power of His Majesty Bechymos?" De La Gongsun replied uncertainly.

"Your Majesty Behemoth?" This strange name made Li Wei feel very strange, but he quickly recalled that it was the name of the earth elemental monarch that Mr. Dish made up to conceal the divine power of the earth. "Okay, I'll go right away." After finishing speaking, Li Wei pursed his lips and whistled, and then a sharp horse neigh and a clear griffin's cry came at the same time, and the sound aroused all the horses in the stable. They responded in unison, and then the hounds began to bark and bark, and the people who had just fallen asleep were startled, causing the entire Holy White Rock Castle to fall into a commotion.

Li Wei looked at the chaos he had caused in a daze, and then the sound of horseshoes and wings fluttered at the same time, and the King of Griffins and the Dark Nightmare of the Northern Territory rushed towards Li Wei one after another, as if they were about to compete for who could be the first. It's the same as arriving at Li Wei's side.

The speed of the Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory is indeed astonishing. Even the King of Griffins descended from the unsheltered sky, but he could not catch up with it. The strong wind actually has a feeling that it is difficult to breathe.

"Big! Let me do it!"

The voice of the Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory roared in Li Wei's mind. A few seconds later than it did, the Griffin King with his golden wings landed. After landing, he immediately turned his head and glared at the black horse angrily. .

The Dark Nightmare of the Northern Territory approached Li Wei calmly, and then arched his shoulders with his body, "Big, I protected Fletcher very well..."

Li Wei glanced at the dark horse asking for credit with a wry smile, patted its head, and then smiled apologetically at the Griffin King, "Sorry, Xiao Hei is still a child, so he is quite naughty."

The Griffin King nodded majestically, "It's nothing, my lord, I don't know, ordinary knowledge, and children." From the tone of his voice, this proud beast was quite satisfied with Li Wei's explanation, and then it gave a long cry With a sound, it spread its wings and soared into the sky.

The Dark Nightmare of the Northern Territory snorted towards the back in the sky, and then hissed and urged Li Wei to ride up. Just as the Griffin Lord sat firmly, the handsome black horse let out a long happy hiss and headed towards the Holy White Stone Fortress. gallop away.

The night was getting dark, and after passing through the outer walls of the Holy White Stone Fortress that was destroyed by the fire and the blast, the noise gradually faded away, and the silence and darkness immediately embraced Li Wei.The griffin lord wandered around, the silver moon was hanging low, while the red moon was still hanging in the corner of the castle. The flames were flickering on several guard towers that were still in good condition. The hot air condensed into white smoke under the moonlight.

The speed at which the Dark Nightmare let go of the Northern Territory at full speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he left behind Dragonson who was leading the way on a griffin in the air. When it stopped and waited, the strong wind blowing in front of it faintly carried the unique smell of gunpowder smoke after burning the smoking powder, and it seemed that the sound of the explosion of the smoking powder could be heard in its ears.

"Xiao Hei, go over there." Li Wei said while drawing his sword in his hand, ready to fight.

The black horse continued to gallop forward for more than 1000 meters. Li Wei's eyes suddenly flickered, and a group of intense purple light appeared on the edge of the detection technique's field of vision, followed by a dark green light representing Sir Rodriguez. The rays of light collided with each other, and it was hard to tell the winner. The purple light seemed to want to escape all the time, but Sir Rodriguez blocked him every time.

There are many gray and white light spots on the periphery of these two groups of light. Li Wei almost ignored them at first, and then he waved his hand casually, and one of the larger light spots spread out to form a small light curtain.

Name: Si'er (the leader of the little monster).

Race: Alchemy creature

Life: 24
Danger Level: Weak.

Special ability 1: Authoritative order (little monster), when leading a little monster, the morale of all the monsters will be +3, even if they are severely injured, they will not flee.

Special ability 2: Good dog luck, the effect of luck is always maximized, even if all kinds of terrible accidents happen, it will not be seriously injured.

Relationship: Worship.

He is the Si'er leader of the dense rhyme tribe of goblins!Li Wei clicked his tongue, urging the Dark Nightmare of the North to rush forward like a dark whirlwind.

Although the situation of the battle is unknown, Li Wei is not very anxious because he can clearly feel that Sir Rodriguez did not take off the alchemy props to conceal his identity, so the battle situation should still be within the controllable range.However, even if the Cursed World Black Sun did not show his full power as a death knight, he was still a powerful sword-wielding earl. Li Wei could hardly imagine any enemy who could stand deadlocked with him for so long.

There was a loud clang, followed by more than a dozen smoke bombs exploding, the flames illuminated a corner of the fierce battle, and the figure of Cursed World Black Sun holding a star iron giant sword appeared.Li Wei couldn't help frowning, because the guy opposite the Cursed World Black Sun was not a creature at all, it looked like a wriggling ooze monster, but none of the ooze monsters could grow to It is as huge as 20 meters, and it constantly emits a disgusting stench and bloody smell.

Cursed World Black Sun swung his sword fiercely, and the star iron giant sword drew a fierce arc from top to bottom, and the blade reflected the fire, shining brightly.The huge ooze monster's bulky body couldn't dodge at all, and it uttered a piercing scream like hundreds of people screaming in unison, and was slashed by the star iron giant sword.

Cursing the world and the black sun kicked out immediately, pulled out the giant iron star sword from the monster's body, and jumped back at the same time.As the blade left, the huge wound on the ooze monster's body sprayed out a lot of purple-black body fluid, which immediately made a hissing sound when it spilled on the ground, and the stench in the air immediately became more intense.

The flames disappeared, and the battlefield returned to darkness.Li Wei was full of doubts in his heart. Judging from the confrontation at that moment just now, the ooze monster was definitely not Sir Rodriguez's opponent. How could it be the result of the stalemate between the two from the mouth of Dragonson?
The roar of the monster suddenly sounded in the darkness, full of sarcasm.Curse World Black Sun responded with a violent slash. This time the blade seemed to have hit something very hard, and it bounced high with a sharp scream.Immediately, the monster let out a triumphant laugh, as if mocking the ineffective attack of the Star Iron Giant Sword.Then its body rushed out in another direction like a bull, but was soon stopped by the Cursed World Black Sun again.

Li Wei tried his best to concentrate his eyes, trying to see what the guy in the dark who was fiercely confronting the cursed world and the black sun looked like, but it was obviously not easy. Under the probing technique, this monster seemed too dazzling, Li Wei Wei could only vaguely see that it was a bloated and wriggling giant.

But soon, he found the key person who could solve the problem.Li Wei rode his horse and came behind the leader of the little elves who was crouching next to a small mound. The latter was observing the situation on the battlefield with magic goggles. "Leader Four, do you still have the smoke ammunition just now?" Li Wei asked, "Let's throw it again, I want to see clearly, what is it that is fighting Sir Rodriguez?"

"It's Lord Griffin!" Si'er's surprised voice sounded. He turned around and bowed deeply to Li Wei, and then knocked on the iron pot on his chest. Tool of. "My lord, please be bright, everyone pay attention, throwing white phosphorous will burn everything!"

"Haha!" The little elves answered their leader with energetic shouts, and then there was a whining sound of breaking wind, and dozens of smoke bombs were thrown from all directions on the battlefield and exploded.

But this time, with the explosion, not only a fleeting fire, but also dozens of bright phosphorous fires sputtered out together. Whether it was on the ground or splashed on the monster, the phosphorous fires were violent. It burned as if it was covered with flammable grease.

The monster let out an angry cry, because the phosphorous fire was attached to its body, creaking, and at the same time exposed its ugly appearance to the firelight.A horrified expression appeared on the Griffin Lord's face. That thing was not an ooze monster at all, but a huge corpse grave demon composed of thousands of incomplete demon corpses!However, this Corpse Grave Demon has obviously suffered severe trauma. The right half of the skull was completely blown to pieces, leaving only the left eye socket intact, but the ghostly green undead flame inside also looked dim.

"Sir Rodriguez, where did this guy appear from?" Levi asked loudly, and at the same time, a bright silver-white flame of fighting spirit burned on the knight's sword.This ray of light obviously attracted the monster's attention more than the dark vindictiveness of Cursed World and Black Sun. The corpse grave demon immediately turned its head and growled threateningly at Li Wei.

"It was discovered by the little elves when they were cleaning the battlefield." Sir Rodriguez replied, walking over and standing beside Levi.Although the Corpse Grave Demon's clumsy attack was terrifying, it was impossible to pose a threat to him. However, the star iron giant sword could not cut off the Corpse Grave Demon's decaying body, which made Sir Rodriguez feel quite troublesome.

"I've never dealt with such a solid thing before. This reminds me of the helplessness I felt when I faced a rough-skinned and thick-skinned Earth Dragon before I gained the power of battle qi." Sir Rodriguez raised his giant The sword showed Li Wei that there were three shocking gaps on it, but due to the characteristics of star iron, the gaps were slowly disappearing.

"The star iron giant sword has been damaged?" Li Wei opened his mouth wide in surprise. He knows how strong this giant sword is. Weapons, there is no way to leave the slightest trace on them.

"I'm afraid only old Dish knows what this guy is made of."

"There are few materials in my memory that can be harder than star iron, and none of them can match the corpse grave demon." A bluish-white light lit up, expanded, and formed a portal. With the old voice, the figure of Mr. Dish appeared beside Levi.This time, the old magician did not wear a dark red mage robe, but a decent butler attire, obviously planning to carry out the work of concealing his identity to the end. "However, if the materials are processed properly, then there are many ways in alchemy to achieve this. Am I right? Delphinia, Lord of Darkness?"

The roar of the Corpse Grave Demon faltered, and then the sound sounded like bones rubbing against each other, full of evil and resentment, "Your swords and magic can't hurt me! Human! You will always be tired, but I will never No, it will be your time of death at that time!" The voice of the Lord of Darkness paused for a moment, and when it appeared again, the stern smell was clearly discernible. "I don't have time to entangle with you now... Get out of the way now, there is still time!"
