Heart of the Castle

Chapter 800 Alchemy Ceremony, Delvarez Soul Guide
"For Fleischer"—that reason was so blunt and frank that all considerations at stake were unsustainable.After hearing this, Mr. Dish was taken aback for a while, then smiled, and joined Sir Rodriguez.

"This is not a choice that a rational commander or a wise leader should make. It is too risky and disregards the overall situation." The old magician commented, but when he said these words, his tone was so gentle, so As for people not being able to hear whether it is criticism or appreciation. "Master Levi, you haven't considered the consequences that Arthur's Kingdom will face if you fail. At the same time, if you lose Her Majesty the Queen and the regent who can stabilize the situation, this kingdom will immediately fall into a state of fragmentation, and then be divided and annexed by other countries, or Involved in the vortex of civil war."

"I've thought about it, Mr. Dish." When Levi replied, his expression was very calm, with only a little excited blush on his cheeks, "I have paid enough for this kingdom, and Fleischer is the same, if Without our efforts, the Kingdom of Arthur would have completely become a relic in the historical books from the moment the capital fell." He looked down at Fleischer, and then showed a sad expression that did not hide his emotions. Smile, "Now, please forgive me for being selfish."

Sir Rodriguez laughed out loud suddenly, and the cold feeling surrounding the Scourge Knight disappeared, "You're so selfish! Master Levi, you're so selfish!" Reaching out to lift off the skull-shaped visor, revealing a sharp face like a dangerous rock.

The Scourge Knight originally had a frightening face, but now his green eyes were filled with a smile, which greatly eased the danger.

"Whether as a leader or as a true knight, you have devoted two full years of hard work to the Kingdom of Arthur. If this kingdom is still fragile, and even has to rely on a pair of immature shoulders to maintain it, then Even if it is destroyed in the end, no one can blame it?"

Levi forced himself to show a smile, "Thank you, Sir Rodriguez, but I don't need comfort, this is my choice, and I will bear all the consequences for it. Mr. Dish, how can I enter Fry Hill's spiritual world, how can she mend her broken soul?"

"Not here, Master Levi, this ceremony cannot tolerate any disturbance - the success rate is already low enough, I don't want any more accidents." Mr. Dish pondered for a moment, then said softly, "In the heart of the castle Let's carry out this alchemy ceremony, I am familiar with every rule there, maybe it can improve the success rate."

Li Wei nodded slightly, and subconsciously hugged Fleischer's body a little tighter, "Mr. Dish, please take care of everything." He whispered, and then a blue-white light came from under his feet Rise up and completely cover the figures of the two of them.

Watching the backs of Levi Stone and Mr. Dish disappear into the blue and white portal, the Scourge Knight raised his right hand, and all the black-armored knights who followed him into the room drew out their swords, and then erected their sharp blades chest.

Hispros made the same movement, his broken lips held a ferocious smile, "Your Excellency Rodriguez... please give me instructions."

"We are entering the portal now. Everyone in the room must come together. If there is any adult with bad legs and feet, then go and help him." Sir Rodriguez's mouth twitched, looking at the room The eyes of the nobles of the kingdom inside seemed full of sarcasm.

"Sir Rodriguez, you...you have no right to do this!" an elderly nobleman resisted his fear and protested sharply.

"Yes, you have no right to detain us, and... moreover, we have to jointly file a request to the Round Table Council to deprive you of your right to attend! There are actually spies who accused the deceased among your subordinates, and they are openly protected by you! "Another younger viscount of the Kingdom also mustered up his courage.

A hint of interest flashed in Sir Rodriguez's dark eyes, "I can fully represent the Lord Regent, His Excellency Lee Viston. Do you think I have this right?"

"Even the regent himself has no right to restrict the personal freedom of the members of the round table council." Perhaps because Sir Rodriguez's tone was not strong enough, the old nobleman's voice became more sharp and powerful, "According to the kingdom According to the law, he can only submit a proposal to deprive the membership of the round table council, and only after it is passed can he detain a nobleman of the kingdom. Before that, he has no right..."

"Now there is." Sir Rodriguez interrupted coldly, and at the same time, two dark green undead flames ignited suddenly in his eyes, and the cold and ruthless feeling came suddenly like a tide, which made the faces of the nobles of the kingdom suddenly pale. Become pale and gray.

"My gods, you...you are..." The old nobleman's voice trailed off.Even Sir Rodriguez couldn't help showing a look of astonishment. The Earl of the Kingdom, who had maintained a righteous and strict manner just now, suddenly fell down and prostrated himself in front of his black combat boots in a very respectful gesture.

"Praise my Lord Ku Ximo!" The old nobleman shouted hoarsely, "Are you here to clean this dirty world? As a devout follower of the Eternal Sleeping Guide, I have been looking forward to this day!"

This guy's face was full of ecstasy, and his eyes were filled with tears of excitement. He could almost convince Sir Rodriguez that he was a believer of death lurking inside King Arthur's court.

Fortunately, the outcome was set from the start.Whether they are willing or not, those who witnessed the assassination of Lord Regent Levi Ston by the Ice Dragon Knight Grun Worm, and Queen Fleischer took her place, whether they are noble as members of the Round Table Council or humble as the lowest All palace servants must enter the heart of the castle and be bound by the alchemy contract.Their memories, personalities, and thinking have not been altered in any way, except that they are different from the past.

That is the absolute loyalty to the master of the heart of the castle-Leviston.This kind of loyalty is not out of consideration of interests, but an instinct engraved on the soul that can never be erased.

Of course, according to the iron law of equivalent exchange in alchemy, the heart of the castle also consumes part of the power of faith, and in order to maintain the validity of the alchemy contract, the consumption of power of faith will never stop during the lifetime of these people.

Levi Ston did not pay any attention to these things that happened after he left. He is now fully absorbed in listening to Mr. Disch's relevant precautions, holding Fletcher's already Lost body.

Behind Li Wei and Mr. Disch, the emerald green grassland has been filled with countless busy figures. Under the command of the leader of Si'er, hundreds of little spirits have been divided into dozens of groups, and each group has obtained The detailed drawings that belong to my part of the work, and according to the requirements on the drawings, meticulously draw the alchemy magic circle on the ground.

"Please pay attention to all working groups, bet all the reputation of the secret rhyme tribal goblins, absolutely do not make any mistakes!" The sharp shouts of the leaders of the four children resounded over the grassland from time to time, and each time they could get hundreds of equally sharp throats Yelling and responding.

"Yeah - Sier!"

This unprecedented alchemy magic circle covers hundreds of meters, with complicated and precise structure and dense lines like a spider's web. One magic circle is surrounded by another magic circle, and all the small magic circles form a larger magic circle. Form part of a larger magic circle.Master Youyue, who rushed over immediately after receiving the news, just saw the magic circle, bowed his head in awe, and prayed silently with his lips twitching.Then he suppressed the urge to pounce on the ground and scream, and carefully inspected this huge alchemy magic circle.

Any slightest mistake can have the most dire consequences.

These are the maxims that all alchemists hear from their mentors before they learn this fine art.However, in fact, this motto is not a universal truth. Many interesting alchemy products are born from coincidental mistakes, and many of them have special effects that cannot be achieved by the original products.

Except for the alchemy ritual of "Delvarez Soul Guidance".

Master Youyue once saw the detailed content of "Delvarez Soul Guidance" in the library of the Tower of Secret Rhymes. It was a huge tome composed of countless pieces of parchment. An entire flock of sheep needs to be slaughtered.He himself has not tried this alchemy ritual, and he also knows that no one has ever tried it successfully in history, including Grandmaster Figo Delvarez himself who invented this alchemy ritual.

The great master Figo created the golden age of alchemy with his own hands. There are dozens of alchemy rituals named after him, and most of them cannot be improved by future generations.Even if Mr. Dish is extremely proud of his alchemy level, when he talks about the name and achievements of Grandmaster Figo, he can't help showing a trace of respect in his tone.

And what Li Weiston is going to do is a feat that even such a wise master of alchemy has not been able to accomplish.

The little monsters completed their tasks very well, but Master Youyue still found two or three small mistakes on the alchemy magic circle, and corrected them one by one by himself.Afterwards, Master Youyue carefully checked it a second time and a third time. After everything was settled, he straightened up and compared to Mr. Dish the "ready" sign commonly used among alchemists. gesture.

Mr. Dish's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he stopped his eloquent explanation of the precautions, "Master Li Wei, the little monsters have completed the task of drawing the magic circle, and passed the inspection of Master Youyue." The magician said softly to the young regent, "If you are ready, the alchemy ceremony of 'Delvarez Soul Guidance' can begin immediately."

Li Wei nodded without saying a word, then stood up quietly, followed behind Mr. Dish, and walked step by step towards the unusually huge alchemy magic circle.

Mr. Disch stopped at the outer edge of the alchemy magic circle, stood side by side with the dark alchemist Master Youyue, watched as Li Wei walked into the core area of ​​the magic circle alone with the body of Queen Fleischer in his arms.Neither of them said a word, Master Youyue was always trying to control his tired body and excited emotions, his breathing was heavy like a galloping horse, while Mr. Dish was as calm as a stone, but his eyes flickered sharply from time to time. The light showed that the old magician's heart was by no means as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Master You Yue suddenly shuddered, the enthusiasm of the researcher in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by the light of reason, "This is simply..." He said hoarsely, but only said a few words, he He closed his mouth, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and managed to regain his voice. "This is an act of self-destruction, Master Dish, have you forgotten? 'Delvarez Soul Guidance' is a sorcery that blasphemes the gods in the sky, and it will never succeed. Please think about the time when you The fallen alchemy genius, the grand master Figo del Vares who created the golden age of alchemy, the alchemy czar Garibaldi, the last lord of the City of Laws, Oakes de Pero... I want to say more name?"

"No, I probably know more about the names of these people than you do." Mr. Dish shook his head and said.

"I am not qualified to judge the decision of your great master, but please let me remind you that they all fell because of this!" Master Youyue insisted, "Master Dish, although witnessing this great alchemy ceremony made me I feel extremely excited, but now you must make Master Li Wei stop taking risks, or seeking death."

"Master Levy will succeed," Mr. Dish replied dryly.

"Since the advent of 'Delvarez Soul Guidance', no one has succeeded in hundreds of years. Most of the people who can obtain the title of master in the field of alchemy are not even qualified to try this ceremony!" Master Youyue didn't want to raise his voice at first, but his excitement prevented him from noticing whether his voice was too loud, "Master Dish, you fully understand this, and now you have almost made a person who has no knowledge of alchemy completely confused. Blank young man, to challenge this death ritual that no one has ever succeeded in?"

"Master Li Wei will succeed." The old magician repeated again, "Master Li Wei is different from those people. The great master Figo is because of his overconfident pride, and the alchemy czar Garibaldi is because of his infinitely inflated arrogance. , and Oakes Depero wants to prove that he is qualified to rule the City of Laws... All alchemy masters and grandmasters perform this alchemy ceremony to prove themselves, or to go one step further at the pinnacle of alchemy."

"Is there anything wrong with wanting to prove yourself?" Master You Yue frowned and asked back.

"That's correct, but it's a kind of ambition after all, and a wounded and broken soul cannot be glued together with the venom of ambition and desire." Mr. Dish replied with a sigh, "Master Levi No, he was doing it for Fleischer, to save the life of his loved one, and the idea was pure and innocent, without any utilitarianism."

"So..." Mr. Dish suddenly turned around, and concluded loudly, "Master Levi will succeed!"

Master Youyue cleared his throat vigorously, he could think of a hundred rebuttals with reason and evidence, and he could point out the huge omissions in Mr. Dish's words, but just before he was about to say it, he suddenly found to his surprise that he I also prefer to believe that Li Weiston can succeed.

This is simply a foolish impulse of a layman.

"Alchemy is a delicate art, and there is no room for subjective judgment." Master Youyue told himself, this sentence is absolutely true, but he couldn't control the voice in his throat, "Yes, he will succeed Yes." Looking at the young regent's back, Master Youyue's voice was as low as a whisper, but his tone was as sure as Mr. Dish's.

Levi Ston walked to the very center of the alchemy magic circle, bent down gently, and placed Fleischer on the grass like a green carpet. Although Fleischer's body was not injured, no It needs to be treated so gently, but the sadness in Li Wei's heart made him do it subconsciously.

The magic circle under the feet did not destroy the ecology of the grassland itself. The golden, silver and red lines perfectly blended with the earth, and the breeze blowing head-on brought the elegant fragrance of four-leaf clover and lavender. The melodious chirping of famous birds, and the golden sunlight pouring down from the clear sky like crystal, reflected the grassland engraved with the alchemy magic circle like a holy place.

Levi Stern took a deep breath, then faced Frasier who was lying quietly on the ground, slowly bent his knees, and then pressed a light kiss on her pale, bloodless forehead.At the same time as this kiss was imprinted, Li Wei's eyes were tightly closed, and he concentrated all his energy on calling Fleischer's name.

His call was not answered, there was no response at all, but Li Wei was not discouraged. This was originally the most trivial difficulty in the alchemy ceremony.His calls continued, his body remained absolutely still, and the process lasted for more than ten minutes, which even caused a strange illusion in the heart of Master Youyue who was watching this scene, as if Li Wei could concentrate like this Calling Frasier's name, motionless like a rock statue, until the end of time.

Maybe this is what Levi Stern wants to do, if it can get Fleischer's life back, he can give his all for the one he loves.Just like when Fleischer faced the same choice, he stood up without hesitation and stood in front of the cruel and sharp sword of the Soul Breaker.
