Heart of the Castle

Chapter 603 Battle Dance Arena, Master-Apprentice Showdown
Not all the members of the Elf King's Court attended the second round of the Rite of Peace contest. The benevolent chant from the Temple of the Goddess of Life and the green leaf chant from the Natural Magic Guild refused to attend. He expressed dissatisfaction; Elf Elder was unable to attend due to health problems, for which he deeply regretted, and asked Sun Chanter to apologize to other members of the royal court.

Because of the changes in the Dragon Cave, the emerald dragon king Zhanqing Augustus stayed there to observe the situation, but the dragon queen BlazBlue Astena attended instead.The incarnation of Her Majesty the Dragon Queen is a tall female high elf. Even among the elves, her appearance can be called gorgeous, but she is as flamboyant and dignified as a rose with countless poisonous thorns. In terms of aspects, it is far from the Elven Queen.

BlazBlue Astena obviously held a considerable degree of hostility towards the Kingdom Mission, and looked at Li Wei with a palpitating hatred, which made the young Griffon Lord almost unable to resist using his fighting spirit to protect himself.Fortunately, he once faced the mighty stare of the Emerald Dragon King. Although Blazangyi Astana has reached the legendary realm, but because of the power of the emerald dragon's bloodline, his strength is inferior to that of Zhanqing Augustus It was so far away that the Griffin Lord did not act rudely.

Due to the absence of the Great Elder Elf, the Sunsinger naturally became the host of the second round of the ceremony of peace.The high elf stood on the shore of the lake wearing a chant robe, talking endlessly, with the same elegant tone and strong attitude as before, exaggerating the historical origin and symbolic meaning of the war dance arena, winning the favor of the wild elf elders At the same time, it cleverly concealed the sinister intention of proposing to use the dance arena as the content of the second round of competition.

"This guy has a good use of sophistry, and he is considered a rare talent among the high elves." Mr. Dish commented softly.

Sir Rodriguez snorted coldly, with sarcasm in his tone, "I'm not as well-mannered as you, Frederick, the choking rancid smell on this guy is strong enough."

"The smell of rancidity?" Levi who was standing at the front sniffled a little strangely, and then turned around, "Sir Rodriguez, where is the smell of rancidity? Even if there is, it is not so far away. Might easily smell it?"

Li Wei's statement is absolutely correct. The position where the sun chanter is standing is tens of meters away from the Kingdom Mission, so he should not be able to smell anything.And even if you get close, I'm afraid you won't smell any peculiar smell. Almost all the high elves are madly in love with incense clothes, especially the sun chanter. His body is always full of clear and distant orris and gardenia The fragrance of the sun has almost become the symbol of the sun singer together with his figure, which is taller and taller than ordinary high elves.

"Master Levi, that rancid smell is not smelled with the nose, but with the heart." Sir Rodriguez explained with a stern expression, "I was once in the dark abyss, so I am particularly sensitive to this situation. That sun chant has probably been invaded by evil unknowingly, and there is a subtle sense of distortion in both his thoughts and actions..."

Although Sir Rodriguez didn't say the last sentence, Levi could hear it completely, "...just like I used to be."

The Cursed Black Sun who appeared on the roof of the Green Castle on that snowy night, and the current Sir Rodriguez are basically two people. Although there is no memory loss, they are essentially transformed from an upright and righteous The knight twists into a death knight who seeks to turn the world into a lifeless place.Although in the end, with the help of Li Wei, the cursed black sun successfully got rid of the thought confinement set on him by the accuser, but the feeling of being immersed in darkness at that time is something that Sir Rodriguez will never forget. nightmare.

It's not horror, but sweetness. There is nothing sweeter than darkness and evil. All the beliefs you have held in the past are like towers made of sand, instantly submerged by the tide of desire.

"See, Master Levi." Sir Rodriguez shrugged, "That Sun Chanter is no different from me back then. He doesn't know how terrible his actions are. In his heart, this may Still acting for the implementation of goodness and justice, at least fighting for the interests of the high elves. Now he should feel selfless and even selfless, completely unaware that he has become a slave to darkness and a puppet that can be manipulated at will .”

"Sir Rodriguez, if we can be sure that the Sun Chanter has now become a servant of darkness, as long as we find a way to prove this, won't we be able to solve the problem once and for all?" Levi was silent for a moment, then whispered He said his thoughts, and there was even a hint of joy in his tone, "Mr. Dish, do you have a way to prove this?"

"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Mr. Dish joined the discussion with an extremely serious expression on his face, "We don't have any evidence to prove that the Sun Chanter has been corrupted by darkness, if we force him to accept magical detection, it would be nothing It is no different from directly declaring war with the high elves in the Moon Whispering Forest. Every sun chanter wears a sun amulet that can block all magic detection, so if you want to use magic such as detection in secret, you can't get any result."

Following the sound of footsteps, Marquis Osiris walked over from behind the team.It could be seen that the elf sky knight was fully prepared for a duel. His long blond hair was carefully tied into a ponytail behind his head, and all the accessories on his body were taken off.Uniken Fitzgerald's two-sword sword fighting technique is second to none in the Moonwhispering Forest. Even after leaving the elf kingdom, Marquis Osiris's swordsmanship has greatly improved due to the experience of absorbing human swordsmanship, but when he is about to face When I was facing the former Sha Lafei, I still felt a little uneasy.

However, in comparison, the facts just learned made Marquis Osiris even more furious, with green flames of anger flickering in his eyes.

"The chief elder of the wild elves, Dinin Dagna, has admitted that he betrayed Shalafei's whereabouts and let him be taken away by a team led by the head of the Silver Pegasus Knights, Sama Fenglanqi. There are at least ten of them. The elders of the wild elves are involved, or at least they don’t know about it.” Marquis Osiris gritted his teeth and said, as if there was a cold wind from the extreme northern ice field whistling in his throat. "If something really happens to Xia Lafei, I will let them all be buried with him!"

When the last few words were spoken, the eyes of Marquis Osiris's green eyes were so sharp, it seemed that the elf crown prince had returned to his body, so that Li Wei couldn't help looking away.

The crisp silver bell sounded from the opposite side, attracting everyone's attention.

The black-robed man who was suspected to be Unikenfizerd had stepped onto the battle dance arena at some point, and two silver Pegasus knights stood beside him as attendants, each holding a beautifully shaped sword in his hand. One of the magic scimitars shone with brilliant silver-white light, while the other was like a crescent moon, glowing bright red like blood.

"Cracks in the moon, wounds in the sky..." Marquis Osiris couldn't help taking a deep breath, holding the hilt of the Fury of Nature sword with both hands, "That's the saber of the leader of the Silver Pegasus Knights and the head of the Stargazers Guild." Master Star Gazer's weapons are all famous semi-divine weapons... It seems that the high elves are determined to win this time."

Now even Li Wei and other people who have only met Unikenfizerd once can see the problem, let alone the Marquis of Osiris.The mental state of the master war dancer is not in line with his usual practice at all. Even if it is necessary to fight to the death to protect the honor of the wild elves, it is impossible for this master war dancer to go directly to the battlefield without saying hello. dance arena.

"Marquis Osiris, please be careful." Li Wei whispered to the elf sky knight who was about to go on stage, "Master Unicon seems to be in some trouble. Could he be controlled by some magic?"

Marquis Osiris shook his head slightly with a serious face, "Probably not. If the body is controlled by magic, the movements will definitely look a little stiff and rigid. But Shalafei is not like this. At least from his movements, I can be sure that they are not the same as usual. No difference."

"This only shows that Master Sword Dancer is controlled by magic very well, but this possibility cannot be ruled out." Mr. Dish pointed out calmly, "Master Osiris, I know you may not want to believe it, but you have Have you never heard of a partial soul magic called soul control?"

"Master Frederick, what you were talking about just now is a family of elves who respect nature and love life." Marquis Osiris frowned somewhat dissatisfied, and then explained seriously, "No one in the family of high elves would dare to use soul control Sorcerer, according to the law handed down from the ancestors who once established the ancient kingdom, is an unforgivable sin, once discovered, no matter what the reason is, it will be punished with the death penalty of expulsion."

If Mr. Dish disagreed with what Marquis Osiris said, he at least concealed it well, "So that's the case," the old magician nodded and said, "Then maybe I was worrying too much, Lord Osiris. "

The silver bell rang again, urging the challengers on the side of the human kingdom to step onto the battle dance arena. Marquis Osiris nodded to Li Wei, and then walked towards the battle dance arena step by step.

However, before he took a few steps, Li Wei and Glenn Warm followed up from left to right, "Since the other party has prepared two assistants, then we can go up with two of them, right?" When Marquis Osiris cast With an inquiring look, Li Wei spread his hands and explained.

The only way to go to the battle dance arena was the thick iron chains shaking endlessly in the lake. Li Wei stepped on one of them carefully, and the iron chains swayed immediately, making the Griffin Lord frown helplessly.Glenn Worm also suffered from the same problem, but for Marquis Osiris—or for most elves, the swing of the chain cannot hinder their progress. It seems that the posture of the green lion walking on the chain It's like walking on the ground.

It seems that only special means can be used.

A light blue light flashed under Li Wei's feet, and the newly developed strategic magic in the heart of the castle - the burst ice gun was launched silently, immediately freezing the lake water into a passage of ice floes, and the other end directly reached Zhan Wu arena.

When this passage of ice floe appeared, the surrounding area was even silent for a while, and then the noise burst into the sky. The tribal elders and chiefs of the Moonwhispering Forest were naturally surprised from ear to ear, and there were more than one high elf Also blurted out in surprise.

"What a fuss, didn't you say that the magic civilization of the elves is quite developed? Why do you look like a country bumpkin when you see magic?" Levi muttered inexplicably, and then pulled Grun Worm, from the ice floe passage Walk over as quickly as possible.

Due to his unfamiliarity with the battle dance arena, what the Griffon Lord doesn't know is that the ancient elf characters engraved on this arena actually have the effect of resisting supernatural forces, and magic is naturally one of them.Although the effect of each elf text is not strong, all the elf texts in the entire arena are integrated into one, forming a permanent enchantment similar to the anti-magic field, and the scope of action happens to be the entire lake.

Within the bounded area of ​​the battle dance arena, all magic, battle qi, divine arts, and other supernatural powers are completely suppressed. Only the original power can not be affected by this bounded area.Seeing that Li Wei seems to have frozen a channel of ice floes effortlessly, even the sun singer's cheeks couldn't help twitching, and his eyes shot out incredible gazes.

Even though a battle was about to start, the Marquis of Osiris still turned his gaze to Li Wei, who had just stepped onto the battle dance arena, "As expected of Dawn of the North... Or, the one who is shouting louder now His nickname—the Miracle of the Kingdom." He said silently in his heart, and then he heard the stern and slightly annoyed voice of the Sunsinger.

"Luoxien, you should remember the rules of the battle dance arena, right? You are not allowed to use any magic or fighting power. Since your assistant, the regent of the human kingdom, can use magic under the barrier suppression of the war dance arena, Then you must leave the ring!"

"According to the rules of the battle dance arena, the side that uses supernatural power will be judged to be defeated, so you don't have to worry about it." Marquis Osiris said while raising his right hand, a ball as bright as pure emeralds. The light of fighting energy immediately flickered, and the thousands of elves' characters engraved on the battle dance arena faintly glowed with colorful light at the same time, but they still couldn't suppress the group of fighting energy. "Instead of worrying about Mr. Leviston using magic to help me, you should worry about when I can't suppress my fighting spirit and hit your chin hard with a fist!"

There was a creaking sound of tooth files from Sun Chanter's mouth, and he was very disappointed that the battle dance arena couldn't suppress the fighting spirit possessed by Marquis Osiris. "An accident, I'm afraid the original plan to let Unicenfitzeld and Crown Prince Lothien die together will not be so easy to achieve." He thought silently, then raised his chin again, putting on a haughty look.

"In that case, Lothien, remember your words." The Sunsinger said dryly, and then turned to the Elf Queen, "Your Majesty, please allow me to announce the official start of the second round of the ceremony of peace."

Just as the elf queen was about to answer, the Emerald Dragon, who already had an impatient expression on her face, stomped her feet, "Let them start fighting!" She called out in a shrill voice, "I didn't come here to watch you play tricks!" , Sun Chanter!"

A hint of anger flashed across Sun Chanter's face very quickly, but nothing unusual appeared on the Elf Queen's expression, "Singer, please announce, His Majesty BlazBlue has been waiting impatiently."

The silver bell rang for the third time, and Marquis Osiris kept staring at the man in black, hoping to see Unicenfitzeld make a gesture to him, or hear him say a word.However, to the disappointment of the green lion, the man in black robe was silent like a stone sculpture from the beginning to the end, and did not make his first movement until the silver bell rang.

He stretched out his hands, and the two high elf attendants behind him immediately handed the weapons into his hands. Immediately, silver light and red light intertwined across the air, and the sound of the blade tearing the air was heard, which made it sound A tingling cold sensation in the scalp.

Marquis Osiris suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, tightly grasping the hilt of Wrath of Nature with both hands, the hard and warm hilt calmed his heart, and then forcefully pulled the two powerful magic weapons out of the scabbard slowly.The Wrath of Nature, the Crack of the Moon, and the Wound of the Sky are all semi-artifacts handed down from the ancient elven kingdom—usually also called legendary weapons. The enchantment on the battle dance arena has very limited ability to suppress these powerful weapons. The emerald green The light flickered with the movement of Marquis Osiris, and briskly crossed everyone's cheeks.

The man in black strode forward without saying a word, holding two magic scimitars in both hands, swirling a thunderous blade light, and swept towards Marquis Osiris.The sky knight did not hesitate to fight back, the epee in his right hand held double sabers horizontally, and the epee in his left hand started the counterattack with a fierce and sharp backhand slash.

The sound of crisp metal impact continued continuously, and the two sides skipped the step of probing each other from the beginning, and fell directly into the most intense confrontation.Four powerful legendary magic weapons collided alternately, and the silver-white, blood-red and emerald lights intertwined into one piece, as if it was a beautiful and unspeakable dreamscape, but it was extremely dangerous, whether it was for the man in black or the Marquis of Osiris. In this way, if there is a slight difference in the countermeasures between each other, I am afraid that they will be torn to pieces by the extremely sharp blade.

Li Wei couldn't help clenching his fists. Judging from the scene, Marquis Osiris didn't seem to be at a disadvantage, but the young Griffon Lord had already keenly noticed something was wrong.Because the black-robed man who was suspected to be Unicenfitzeld basically used a style of fighting that would hurt both sides. The two magic scimitars were almost all used on offense, and the epee that attacked his head and chest vital points was not at all. Don't even bother to parry!
