The town of Gassi is located in the mountains in the south of Naville Kingdom and belongs to the Garrot family. Since Garrot Baron in the vicinity discovered an elemental crystal vein, it has been built Miner Town.

Like other miner towns, Jiaxi Town is surrounded by mountains and forests, and there is no stable water source. When the elemental crystals are exhausted, it will be abandoned. However, the nearby crystal mine has not been completely mined, it has been abandoned.

A few years ago, a pair of ferocious nightsabers moved here. They regarded the miners as their prey and preyed on more than 30 miners. The lord organized two rounds of encirclement and suppression, but returned to no avail, and finally had to give up the crystal mine, and Jiaxi Town became an uninhabited town.

Although Jiaxi Town is called a town, it is actually not as big as a village. Only the dilapidated stone wall proves its identity. A gust of north wind blows, dark clouds cover the moon, the wall is pitch black, the tattered wood house trembles in the cold wind, making a zhi zhi rattling sound, adding a touch of terror to this gloomy abandoned town smell.

Suddenly, there was a faint fire light in the largest building in the center of town. The dim halo swayed in the night wind, like a lighthouse, pointing the way for the lost.

A huge owl glided across the dark night sky, flapped its wings, and landed on the decaying window frame. It glanced into the house and jumped in without the slightest hesitation.

In the house, three people dressed as farmers were warming the fire around the fireplace. When the owls rushed in in the cold wind, they quickly grabbed the axe beside them, waiting to see the uninvited guests. The two middle age persons obviously relaxed. Only the youngest farmer was still holding the axe nervously, as if he was about to chop it down at any time.

The half-human owl raised its feathers, spread its wings, and issued a warning scream. Its shadow enveloped the entire wall behind it, which looked terrifying.

"Gum! Watch your pet!"

A flustered and exasperated sound rang from the owl's mouth, and the young farmer was frightened and fell to the ground. The middle-aged farmer with hair grey-white grinned and turned to the corner and said, "Baby, this stupid bird can't eat. Go outside and don't let strangers come near here."

In the shadows, two huge nightsaber leopards shook their black fur, put away their sharp claws, and nuzzled the middle-aged farmer affectionately with their heads, and then they walked out of the house gracefully and silently.

"Gum! One day, I will take off the skins of these two stupid cats!" The owl folded its wings and said viciously.

"Yes, as long as you find me a few more violent animals, I will help you pick them up." Gunm laughed indifferently.

"Okay, hurry up and have a ceremony." Another middle-aged man wrapped his shabby sheepskin jacket tightly, threw a piece of wood into the fire, stomped and complained: "Damn it The weather is really cold!"

The owl paced forward two steps, tilted his head to look at the young farmer, and asked, "You are Lind?"

The young farmer retracted back Shrunk, and then felt a little embarrassed, so he straightened his chest and said harshly: "I...I'm Huo... Lind from Horasong County, do you know me?" After that, He stammered and explained: "I...I'm not afraid, I'm cold...cold shivering."

"hehe, Heller, your apprentice Looks very afraid of the cold." The owl said to the middle-aged man closest to the fire.

Heller rubbed his hands and said coldly: "He is really afraid, I am really afraid of the cold. Messenger, even the windows here are rotten. If you don’t hold a ceremony, those pigs will probably freeze. It's dead!"

"Let’s start then."

The feather-headed eagle named the messenger released his left claw, and a pure black crystal fell on the floor, Heller Going forward, picking up the crystal, took a closer look, and nodded towards Gunm.

"The bold boy of Horasong County, work." Gunm slapped the young farmer on the shoulder in fear, then turned and walked towards the back room.

Lind's face turned red and white. Under Heller's gaze, he gritted his teeth and followed up into the back room. After a while, Gunm and Miller dragged 5 unconscious people out. These people, both men and women, old and young, lie motionless on the icy ground, if not for their chests are still rising and falling, they look like dead people.

Heller first placed the five men, women and children, with their heads on their heads, in a circle, and then placed the black crystal in the center, before finally chanting the obscure incantion.

As Heller sang, a black mist floated in the crystal, and the mist gradually diffused until it drowned the five people on the ground, and the dark red rune appeared in the void of the room, in a mysterious way Arranged into a ring, the ring slowly turned, the mist surged, and the four men and women sat up from the ground one after another.

"I am the deputy speaker, Giant."

"I am a congressman, Michigan."

"I am a congressman, Seven."

"I'm a councillor, Margarcia."

The four people stood up and greeted each other with their jaws. The short Little Old Man, who called himself Giant, said, "The Speaker hasn’t arrived yet, Heller Please continue."

The incantation did not stop, the rune ring continued to rotate, but Heller's face became paler and paler, and fine beads of sweat ooze from his forehead. Finally, a tender and crisp voice was black. Sounds in the fog.

"I am the speaker of the shadow. Heller, you have worked so hard, you can stop."

Heller hushed, stopped chanting, the rune circle turned into a light spot, Dissipated in the air. Except for the young farmer Lind, everyone present crossed their chests and said in unison to the little girl who had just stood up: "I have seen Lord Speaker."

The little girl nodded, her gaze turned to be there again and again. Bowing Lind said kindly: "Child, you are Lind, right? No need to be nervous or polite."

Lind then relaxed. He looked at the mysterious little girl curiously, only Seeing her appearance of 7 or 8 years old, wearing ordinary hemp clothes and short sheepskin coat, she is completely an ordinary peasant girl, only those clear eyes reveal the wisdom and vicissitudes of the human heart. When Lind was about to take a closer look, he was held down by Gunm next to him, and his strength made him bend down.

No one cares about the movement in the corner. The Deputy Speaker Giant took the lead in opening the mouth and said: "Sir, the meeting is held in time. I have important things to report. We are in Centaur Hills. The action failed, and the target of the assassination turned out to be a Silver-tier Wind Travel shooter. Moreover, the enchanter and the Beastmaster who performed the mission are missing. I suspect they are dead!"

"How is this possible? The Beastmaster has been able to transform into a draconian. He once killed an ogre warlord head-on, and coupled with the reflection of the bewitcher’s soul, even the Golden Knight must not be their opponent. Could it be that Legendary Paladin killed them? Then we will expose it. Are you there?" Congressman Seven shouted incredulously.

"The messenger?"

Seeing everyone's eyes came over, the big owl quickly said, "I'm pretty sure that the 6 Legendary Paladins are all in the Eastern Wilderness and the Centaur tribe. Fighting. I just don’t know whether the chief referee Lesta and the first Paladin Nahtigal have left Al..."

"The two impossibles left Al, once they leave, they will all The world knows it. Could it be that the Beastmaster and the Bewitcher defected?" Congressman Margarcia shook his head and said.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Member Michigan just said one sentence, and everyone nodded and agreed.

The little "Giant" said: "Do you remember Fire Crow? He claimed to have been inspired by the King of Shadows to inspire the council to eliminate the bloodline nobles. After being rejected, he acted without authorization and ended up in Centaur. Hills has ruined the life of Shattered Soul, and now the Beastmaster and the Bewitcher are also missing in Centaur Hills, and their target is the same person! Maybe we should re-examine Fire Crow's proposal! At least find the connection!"

"Seconds. The deceiver is very important to the council. He is now whereabouts unknown. We should send someone to Centaur Hills to find his trace."

"Secondors!"

"Secondary!"

"Why are you going to die?" The little girl speaker looked around the crowd and asked: "Or, why do you want to obey the whisperer's arrangement?"

In the room It quieted down for an instant, only the fire was crackling, and the speaker slowly said: "The disappearance of the two companions has nothing to do with the church, nor with the nobles, but with the whisperer. Don’t forget the whisperer. The disasters that have brought us are not our Chosen One mentors, nor our Sovereign. They are just a group of despicable liars, hiding in the dark like mice, using lies and fraud to lure us to their goals. However. Their purpose runs counter to ours. If we want to restore the glory of Chosen One, we must not do what they want. They want us to go to Centaur Hills, we can’t go! Everyone, our hope is in the east, not in the Centaur Hills!"

"Indeed, if the church catches the wizard, it will hold a purification ceremony with great fanfare, impossible and silent execution. Besides, the noble Golden Knight is definitely not an opponent of the Beastmaster." Giant He bowed to the speaker and said: "Sir, I was too reckless. I almost caught the whisperer's tricks. But I don't understand why our hope is in the east?"

The speaker shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate. The strength of the Golden Knight. The Beastmaster can escape in the hands of the Golden Knight, but it is absolutely impossible to defeat the Golden Knight head-on, and the bewitcher is not good! If they run into the Queen of Rose, there may be no escape. Everyone, I solemnly Warning, stay away from Golden Knight! They can occupy a place in the Chosen One era is enough to win our respect. In the future, we will cooperate with the Knights on an equal footing, but now is not the time. As for the previous ones The relationship is no longer impossible. "

Everyone was speechless, the speaker turned his gaze to coveing, and Lind, with a blank face, asked: "Lind, do you understand?" "

These wizards, one mouthful of Legendary Paladin, Golden Knight, whisperers, and so on, Lind can understand them. Six months ago, he was an ordinary farmer in the Kingdom of Dodo. However, Lind also knew that the one in front of him This "little girl" is everyone's head, just as big as the village head. His questions must be answered obediently and honestly.

"Big...sir, I... ...I do not understand. "Lind trembling with fear replied.

The speaker lightly glanced at Heller, and Heller's heart suddenly trembled. He didn't expect this rookie newcomer to get the attention of the speaker.

Heller brace oneself, stepped forward and said: "Sir, we are busy on the road, and we have not had time to educate Lind. However, I have introduced him to the dispute between Chosen One and the church, and there are some precautions. "

The speaker nodded said to the young farmer: "Lind, it seems that you still don't agree with your current identity?" "

"I...I don't know? ! "

Lind covered his face and sat on the ground, tears streaming from his fingers. He has always been a devout believer of Lord of Radiance, and he never thought that he would become an evil wizard, if not After being found by these people, I was afraid that I would have been burned to death in the square. Thinking of this, Lind was confused and scared, and couldn't help crying.

Seeing the rookie wizard's weak appearance, everyone With expressions of disdain, they seemed to have forgotten, and they were not better at it. Only the speaker next to him asked: "Lind, do you think you are evil? "

"I am not a bad person! I have never done anything bad. "Lind stood up excitedly and argued loudly, and felt that this was not convincing, so he gave an example: "Gavin and they told me to steal food, but I didn't go! "

"haha. "

Everyone laughed heartily, even the owl laughed strangely, but when they saw the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the speaker, the laughter stopped abruptly.

The speaker was kind to Lind. Said: "Child, you are not an evil person, and you are not a child of the devil." You are the noble Chosen One, even more noble than Knight. Knight's nobility lies in the bloodline, and our nobility lies in the soul. "

"Then...then why does the Supreme Lord of Radiance purify me?" "Lind asked puzzledly.

"It's a liar! "Gum gnashing teeth yelled.

"Don't slander Lord of Radiance. His greatness is beyond doubt. "The Speaker said displeasedly.

"The enemies of Lord of Radiance are those who whisper, not us. Before the turbulent years, the Lord of Radiance was never manifested as proof. If the Lord of Radiance allows the Whisperers to exterminate mortals, our Chosen One will also perish. From this point of view, it is the Lord of Radiance who saved us. It's just that Radiance Church insists on clearing Chosen One if it wants to seize power, but this is again impossible. "

Lind said excitedly: "My lord, the Supreme Lord has never forsaken me, has he? Father Nigel is the blasphemer, isn't he? "

"Can't say the same. "The speaker was silent for a while, and patiently explained: "There is no need for faith to exist in reality, but the church itself needs to be believed." The Lord of Radiance transforms the faith of mortals into Holy Power and feeds it back to the priest of the church as agreed. Therefore, mortals are the foundation of the church. The church cannot bear the risk of human extinction, and only then can we destroy Chosen One. In fact, the church still targets whisperers, because they know that as long as there are mortals, Chosen One will not go extinct. "

Lind looked confused, Heller was in deep thought, while Gamb was indignant. The Owl stepped forward and asked the speaker: "My lord, let me explain. "

Speaker nodded, Owl said: "You three listen carefully, the following content is only known to the high-level council. "

"The history of our Shadow Council is longer than that of Radiance Church. Before the turbulent years, Chosen One was divided into Two Great Factions, one was the council and the other was the Pantheon. Our council focuses on the research and inheritance of witchcraft, advocating to develop one's own potential and form a whole set of witchcraft system. While Pantheon focuses on expansion, they increase their strength by talking to the whisperer. With the help of whispers, Pantheon is much stronger than the council, but they need a lot of resources. This causes conflicts between the two parties. "

"The council has made great achievements in the research of the witchcraft system. We have broken through the limitations of the innate talent and formed a new spell-casting system. For example, the descending technique that Heller just performed is one of the results. As long as it is trained, every Chosen One can perform it. Therefore, the council called itself a mage and called the Pantheon guys a warlock. "

"Whether it is a mage or a warlock, both face the issue of inheritance. Our lifespan is too short, and the ability cannot be inherited in bloodline. The Legendary archmage of the Parliament Andrew invented the blood sacrifice under the temptation of the whisperer, which led to the end of the Chosen One era and the rise of Radiance Church. "

"In the later stages of the war, the council had noticed the harm of blood sacrifice and the whisperer's sinister intentions, but both sides could no longer stop. The awakening of the Lord of Radiance gave the council hope. The mages began to cooperate with the first pope, and it was with the help of the council that the Radiance Church was able to grow and form the divine technique system. Hehe, the divine technique of the church is all the result of the research of our council. "

"After Pantheon was defeated, the Pope tore up the covenant and turned around to deal with the Parliament. Although the mages repeatedly stated that they would no longer listen to the whisperers' words, the pope asked how to guarantee? To be honest, we can't guarantee it. Isn't that the Fire Crow idiot? As you all know about the following things, the church is one with mortals, and the wizard warlock is one with mortals, but the three parties have no trust at all. But our inheritance is still there, and the council has become the Shadow Council. "

"We don’t know why the Whisperers are trying to exterminate mankind, but it is certain that Lord of Radiance only targets Whisperers. He is protecting mankind from the threat of Whisperers, including us, Chosen. One. This is the basis for our mage to rise again. "

"You may not know that the Code of Radiance does not require the extinction of the wizard, because it is impossible to do. The Glory Code is only a contract between the church and the Lord of Radiance. If the Lord of Radiance wakes up again, the code will also become invalid. This is something the church cannot tolerate. But mankind is far away from the threat of whisperers, but faces the threat of wilderness monsters, which is unacceptable to everyone. "

"If Sasan Empire is broken by orcs, humans will still face the danger of extinction. The smaller the number of mortals, the weaker the strength of the church, and they will have to admit the existence of our mages. The premise is that our mage must resist orc attacks and prevent warlocks from appearing. This is why the Parliament prohibits listening to whispers. At that time, our mage will regain its glory and become a noble among mankind! "

Lind asked excitedly: "My lord, can I become a nobleman too?" is this real? "

"It's true. "The speaker nodded affirmatively, said: "But we have to live until that time!" More than 10,000 years ago, the council set up a mage tower in the Great Swamp of Needham to study how to continue the lifespan. Although it failed to achieve great results, it successfully developed a secret medicine to make the mage violent. This can improve our lifespan for at least 20 years and also improve our survivability. Finding the secret medicine is vital to the council's follow-up plan. "

"Lind, as long as you have seen things, you can always search for the same things, right? "

Lind was nodded again and again, triumphantly and trivially said: "Yes, I see a gopher, and I know the other gophers are there. I'm an expert at digging a mole hole, and Gavin can't beat me. Once, I saw Lena during the day, and when I was sleeping at night, I saw her in the bed taking a shower, that fart...hehe! "

"That's good! "

The speaker said: "The secret medicine is enclosed in a crystal. We have found a sample of that crystal, which is kept by Nightmare in the east. I now propose that Lind serve as a councilor to search for the ruins of the Wizard Tower in the Great Swamp of Needham. Members of the parliament also rushed to the east as much as possible to cooperate with the search plan. "

"Secondary. "

"Secondary. "

The high-level parliament voted unanimously to pass the Speaker's proposal, which made Heller and Gum very envious.

"you two, responsible for escorting Congressman Lind to the east to join Nightmare. I will arrange Nightmare to guide your spell. "The speaker said to the two of them.

Heller and Gum were overjoyed, and they should be. The speaker asked Congressman Seven: "Is there a way to send them to the east?" "

Seven pondered for a moment, and said with the head of his jaw: "Three days later, a caravan from the Borui Kingdom will pass through the town of Baron in Garrot. The caravan manager is my person. I can let him take him. Member Lind. Of course, only as a buddy. By the way, you will leave tonight. I heard that Garrote Baron recruited a large number of mercenaries to encircle and suppress the ferocious animals here. If you are late, I am afraid there will be trouble. "

"Yes! Yes! Yes! We will leave at once. "Gum nodded said with a bow.

"Okay, let's end the meeting. "The speaker said.

Everyone saluted the speaker again, and then the five high-level leaders fell to the ground one after another. Lind saw the little girl's dull eyes and asked worriedly: "What happened to them? ? "

"Dead! "Gum said nonchalantly.

"How could this be?" How could this be? "Lind murmured.

Heller was just about to teach Lind, thinking that he is still above himself, so he said kindly: "The adults are gone. Lind, you are now the noble Chosen One. These are just untouchables, not worth a pity. "

Lind took a deep breath, struggling to straighten his chest, and asked: "I heard that the east is full of cannibal monsters. Only criminals will be exiled there. Will we be in danger?" "As he said, his chest collapsed, and his voice was getting lower and lower.

Gum and Heller looked at each other and said with a smile, "The east is our paradise." The council has been operating in the east for a hundred years. When we get there, we don’t have to worry about being afraid. We can eat and drink well, and the noble ladies can sleep. I promise you don't want to come back if you go. "

"Are you a noble lady like the village chief's daughter?" "Lind asked in shock and excitement.

"Can the village chief's daughter be considered a noble lady?" "Heller shook the head disdainfully, and said, "The one with the noble bloodline is called the noble lady...I can't tell you clearly, you will know when you get to the east." "

"Then what are we waiting for?" Let's go now! "

"Yes! Let's go now! Go east! "
