Wizard From Afar

"When our warriors were clearing the ruins of Eboden and found the underground passages extending in all directions below the city, guess what came to my mind first?"

"Yes, I guessed that 80% of this thing was built by the empires to escape when encountering danger; or there is another possibility, to avoid certain disasters when necessary."

"The situation is almost the same-when we first attacked Eboden, our old friend Loren · Torino used the city’s complex underground transportation network and was still at an absolute disadvantage. After the city was broken, it lasted for nearly half a month."

"But is that really the case? These sturdy and dying underground passages have been established for more than a hundred years, and may even be related to the lifespan of this city. It’s the same age; I don’t think the empires a hundred years ago would have guessed that this city would be captured by us-then why didn’t they strengthen the city’s defenses?"

"Oh! The most important thing is that the only exit of an underground passage used to escape when necessary is actually the sewage outlet on the coast. What a brilliant design that a genius came up with, if I have such a subordinate, it will definitely make him die. "

"So I came to the conclusion that this underground passage is not for escape, on the contrary it is the oldest city of Eboden; the most important thing is that I found a wizard tower This is what the leftover book says-the oldest, real nine-pointed star wizard tower, built with the power of the nine-pointed star holy grail."

"All over Eboden underground, full of Void Power’s underground passage...well, guess what I’m thinking of? Yes, if I fill it with all kinds of explosives and bury a few launchers underground; not only can we take the whole city, but It’s the entire'Eboden' that exploded into the sky!"

"The Azorean elves in the city, the empire army that opposes us outside the city... will not die, all have to be scattered in this explosion. Ashes and dispersed smoke, as a surprise for them to beat me!"

"Even this is not the most exciting. The most exciting place is the completely uncontrolled and inflated Void Power caused by such an explosion. , It will lead to very terrifying results."

"Yes, just like our homeland that has been eroded by Void Power... The reality is completely distorted, the land and the surrounding ecology have become messy, everything Both the living and the dead were completely eroded by Void Power. Evil God puppets appeared one after another. The swelling Void Power could not be suppressed. Eventually, they came from Eboden. Begin, drag the entire empire into the water! "

"By then, they will know what the cost of stopping me is. "

"Understand? Little entourage, this is our last secret weapon, and it is what I want to give you. "

"When we are defeated, I will be responsible for the glorious death of the war, and say two nice and playful words to the empire on the opposite side to delay the time; you are responsible for turning on this thing after receiving the signal and turning us on Send it to the sky with the enemy, so......"

..................

"...... I guess you all already know? "

In the barracks prison, Brandon, holding his shoulders, looked at the shiver coldly elf entourage behind the iron fence, and asked with certainty behind him.

Standing Behind him, the black hair wizard, the Grand Duke Elman and the imperial wizard adviser Albert, the three looked at each other in blank dismay, with different expressions.

"Tell me, you guys There must be something to say-you should be the three people I trust most in the entire empire. "His Royal Highness turned his head, fiery-red stared at those obsidian eyes like burning pupils: "Think carefully, and then tell me if this is the enemy's trap?" "

"Loren, you are late, you are the first. "

Almost as soon as Brandon finished speaking, the black hair wizard immediately felt that two more scorching eyes were staring at him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Can’t you let me rest for five minutes?

Faced with Brandon’s expectant eyes, the black hair wizard who deliberated on it slowly said:

"If you want suggestions For the time being, there is not; but I can assure you of another thing-this renegade Azorean spirit, he did not lie. "

The voice fell, and the elf entourage in the cell shook suddenly, and there was obviously a trace of disappointment in the eyes of the "shameful prince".

"How do you know he didn't lie? ? "

Brandon wants to struggle again.

"I just know. "

black hair wizard face doesn't change shrugged.

"Hmm..." Brandon's expression was so tangled that it couldn't be more tangled.

His Royal Highness, who was blocked by others for the first time instead of blocking others, did not continue to question-not without doubt, but he did not deceive himself for a reason.

As for being sent to meet him. Will his Grand Duke of Arles make any small actions? Sure, but Brandon is not worried at all...Because a liar will not believe what a rogue says, he has this confidence in his wizard advisor.

But this does not mean that Brandon just admits this: "Even if he didn't lie, it doesn't mean that this is not a trap-the lunatic on the opposite side has a low downline, even I was ashamed of being inferior, using the truth to tell people this. He definitely did it. "

"Plant bombs in your own lair, and be perish together with the enemy? He has a problem in his mind. Even if he is going to die, the Azores will die first. What does it have to do with us, he is not afraid that when the war is going on, he will send himself to the sky first? ! "

"By the way, the fact that this guy didn't lie doesn't mean that Rodría Azores is telling the truth. How can we be frightened by a word or two from the enemy... …"

"Prudence does not mean timidity, Your Highness! "

The slightly frowning Grand Duke Elman couldn't help interrupting Brandon, and stepped forward and said: "Whether it’s true or not, we must be good enemies. It’s possible either the fish dies or the net splits preparation! "

"It's about the destiny of the empire. You can't make a decision just because of a momentary impulse. That's irresponsibility to the empire. Even if it's just traps and baits used by the enemy to deceive us, it still has a reference. the value of. "

Looking at Uli Wirtz with an earnest expression and desperately trying to persuade Brandon, black hair wizard sighed.

If he can be persuaded, he is Bran Den De Salion.

"So we have to suspend the offensive and even negotiate with him because the enemy scares us with a sentence or two that we don’t know is true or false--then we gather so many troops to What, count the heads? "

Sure enough... Almost as soon as Grand Duke Elman finished speaking, Brandon, who looked upset, immediately spoke:

"For this war we mobilized all duchy , All the army, all the resources and wealth-just to feed the soldiers in the barracks every day, people outside the Imperial Capital have to starve to death; if you don't kill them all as soon as possible, are you going to wait until the midsummer to keep them for the holidays? ! "

"But if Eboden really explodes..."

"Isn't it okay to trade a ducky for an empire?" ! "Brandon steals violently.

"Your Highness! "

Alberd, who has remained silent, finally stood up, bowed and saluted Brandon first, and said respectfully: "If the Azores really detonated Eboden with an alchemy bomb, then The consequence is definitely more than just losing an Eboden duchy! "

"Speak! "

Turning around irritably, Brandon leans against the iron fence and looked towards Albert.

"As your Royal Highness knows, for many years, Boden is the Holy Land of the wizard; hundreds of years of research have allowed this land to accumulate huge and inevitable void residues, so that in the last battle of Eboden, even these residues could be used to build resistance. The cold ice shield of the enemy's long-range weapons! "

" And these accumulated residues in the past have never had much impact on the city. The underground passage shaped by the curse is responsible for carrying it, and the remaining power of the void is used to maintain the high-level curse attached to the underground passage, allowing it to enter a semi-permanent loop state. "

"Then there is the Church of the Holy Cross-including the Holy Cross cathedral in the major cities of the empire, which already has the...divine force of the Holy Cross! It can eliminate or reverse the Void Power and restore it to its normal state... This maintains the balance of Void Power in the empire. "

" And now the Eboden Cathedral is demolished by the Azores, the nine-pointed star wizard tower no longer exists, and the backlog of void residues that cannot be circulated and eliminated naturally in the underground passage, once it is ignited or the wizard The launcher, a powerful alchemy item, detonates, and the consequences will be catastrophic! "

"How catastrophic can be, at most it will be another invasion of monsters, right? Brandon tilted his head nonchalantly: "We have giant dragons, Floating Void City, lightsaber, and hundreds of thousands of troops. Are you afraid of this? "

"No, if it turns out to be like that, the consequences will be 10,000 times more serious than the invasion of monsters!" "Alberd, who is busy talking, even has a trace of fear in his expression:

"Because of the invasion of monsters, Evil God... there is at least an existential consciousness controlling these Void Powers; and when These forces are uncontrollable and flood into the material world like a flood..."

"The reality is completely distorted, the land and the surrounding ecology become messy, and everything that is alive and dead is covered by Void Power. Completely eroded, Evil God puppets appeared one after another, the swelling Void Power could not be suppressed, and finally... swallow the entire empire? "

stared wide-eyed, Brandon said while looking towards Albert.

"Although I have never seen such a scene, it is not worth mentioning. According to the research results...it is true. "

The interrupted imperial wizard consultant was slightly nodded.

The unwilling prince turned his gaze to the black hair wizard, and he saw the silent black hair wizard. nodded.

"Is there nothing to stop him, I mean... the kind of remedy after the explosion? "

" There used to be. "Loren nodded.

"Before? "

"Yes, before the battle of Eboden. "Loren's expression was a little sad: "If the Corona Master is there, he can'backtrack' the Void Power in an area to a certain point in time in an instant; this is how we survived the last battle of Eboden. of. "

The Albert Master on the side can't help but sigh.

"So before the official attack, we must be fully prepared. "Grand Duke Elman said solemnly: "Either get along with a remedy afterwards, or you must take into account the plan of how to prevent the enemy from doing so. "

"Otherwise...At least for now, we never recommend that His Highness immediately launch a final battle against Eboden! "

Brandon twitched his lips...The tone of Julie Wiertz sounds far from being as easy as "suggestion".

"Loren, you What do you think? "

"I agree with Grand Duke Elman's suggestion. "In response to Brandon's slightly disappointed expression, the black hair wizard said with the same seriousness: "You also said that the little elf Prince opposite is a genuine lunatic, and the lunatic will not care about the consequences. "

"So we have to be threatened by him and have to negotiate with this bastard? ! "

"No, we just need to figure out how to stop him. "

"But the Corona Master is dead, we are impossible to stop him... This is what you said personally! "

"What I said was that if Void Power really broke out uncontrollably, we would have no remedy; but I didn't say that we couldn't stop him before it broke out. "

"Oh, can you? "

"Of course you can. "

With a plain to no waves, the black hair wizard said solemnly.

"What should I do? ! "

Almost at the same time that Albert asked, all eyes in the prison were directed to Loren's silhouette.

"The method is very simple-those large and mixed Void Power is dangerous because no wizard can suppress or manipulate them. "Loren explained:

"Then, we only need a wizard to stand up and carry these forces on him. "

"It's that simple? ! "Brandon's eyes lit up.

"It's very simple, but...it's basically impossible. Even if ordinary wizards open the first valve, their willpower is not enough to control...Ah! "

Alberd lifts the head suddenly thinking of something, staring at Loren with a trembling gaze: "So...you...you really are like Isaac they said...you are already It's..."

black hair wizard slightly nodded.

Albert realized it instantly.

"so that's how it is …no wonder, no wonder Koro Na insisted on asking you to be his heir..." Muttered a few words to himself, the imperial wizard consultant turned around and bowed to Brandon:

"His Royal Highness, if you can really be here If you successfully block it beforehand...your plan is completely feasible! "

"Of course, we must achieve sufficient preparations, especially the steps of the frontal attacking army and the executors must agree to ensure that everything is foolproof-this requires a careful plan! "

The Grand Duke Elman on the side showed a somewhat worried look, but considering that he knew almost nothing about Void Power, he chose to believe in the judgment of the Albird Master, no Say more.

"It is totally feasible, what is feasible? "

Still confused, Brandon looked at Loren and then at Albert: "So we need to find a wizard to take on these forces, right? Then the question is. Who are you looking for, who is the...executor? "
