Wizard From Afar

"Niederhogg...their target is Niederhogg?"

For a moment of silence, Lucien’s face was filled with disbelief. The silver-gray pupils trembled, and the expression could no longer be described as surprised.

That is "fear".

Under the cold wind whistling, the cold-sweating gray-eyed boy tried his best to calm himself down. The right hand holding the hilt of the sword had already stretched his veins, and his rapid breathing was almost unable to keep up with him. heartbeat!

Why...why...

How could this be? !

The memory of the last time I went to Niederhogg flashed in my mind, countless questions rise in the mind; Lucien gasped in a trance, only the last trace of reason in his heart Let him fall into madness completely.

Isaac on the side noticed something was wrong with Lucien, and was stopped by Loren just as he wanted to say something, silently nodded.

The mental state of this gray-pupil boy is obviously not right now. It is possible that he has noticed something he can't believe. If he interrupts him rashly at this time, the consequences will be catastrophic. of.

Isaac was stopped, and the black hair wizard's gaze returned to the endless army of monsters under the cliff, gently took a deep breath, and squinted his eyes into contemplation.

A sudden order, the mystery of the Blood Skeleton Valley, and... an unexpected army of monsters.

Whenever the black hair wizard thinks that he has finally figured out a mystery, another incredible "truth" will soon be thrown towards him, like a constantly changing labyrinth. Never find an exit.

There are no clues, no ideas, no answers, only one unbelievable "truth" after another.

One after another "accidents".

The atmosphere became more and more serious, and Lu Sien's expression gradually stabilized after taking a few deep breaths, clenching his teeth to keep himself awake.

"Is it better?"

The black hair wizard on the side suddenly opened the mouth and said.

The gray pupil did not speak, but bit his lower lip nodded.

"That's good, because we all have to remain calm and rational now. This is not the time to panic." Loren "pa!" pressed his shoulder with a cry:

" I hate accidents and any unexpected things the most-but since it happens, then we have to solve it, to deal with these bad things-calm down, understand?!"

Nodded at a loss Lu Sien glanced at the black hair wizard, then at Isaac Grantham next to him, looking a little at a loss.

Looking at the blankness on the gray pupils’ cheeks, Loren couldn’t help but sighed. No matter how extraordinary natural talent he was, he was only a fourteen-year-old boy, and he encountered something beyond imagination. It doesn't seem to be surprising to be like this.

Can I only think of other ways?

Since it has been basically determined that the target of the monsters is the giant dragon king city, the initial plan can basically be declared invalid; the whole thing has exceeded its own ability and has reached the level of imperial safety!

The only thing I can do now is to figure out why they are here instead of launching an attack on the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain.

What happened, or...what did they find?

Where is the crux of the problem, what did I miss? !

The missing rangers, the search team was attacked, and the guard tower was completely destroyed... If this is the "Evil God Apostle"'s premeditated plan, then everything that happened in the Valley of the Blood Skeleton All to conceal its true goal.

In other words, if their target is really the giant dragon king city, then the search team and the sentry tower can be explained very well-even if they know that doing so will cause the fortress to be vigilant. , The Evil God apostle will never let anyone discover their true purpose.

It's just that they didn't expect that an unremarkable squad left the night before their raid, and they also robbed them to find Niederhogg, who had been missing for many years.

If this is the case, it would be too "smart"!

"I have a question!"

Isaac suddenly raised his hand: "Well, it may be a bit inappropriate to say this now, but...are we going back?"

Lu Sien looked towards Loren with a complex expression.

The black hair wizard pondered for a moment, and resolutely opened the mouth and said:

"No, let's move on."

"But...this is no longer It's just an adventure in search of an ancient civilization; it is obvious that no matter what the goals of these monsters are, they would rather give up the opportunity to invade the empire and go to the giant dragon city, which means there is something more valuable there."

"No matter what that thing is, they can't let them succeed!" The gray pupil suddenly pulled out his short sword and thrust it into the snow in front of him with all his strength.

…………………………………………………………

East of the Blood Skeleton Valley, there is a cave beside the ice cliff.

Knight, the guard who hugged the "Splendid Star" in his arms, sat beside the bonfire without saying a word, staring quietly at the sparks splashing from the wood, his eyes flickering.

The injury on his body has long since recovered, but the torn clothes will not recover...The torn coat and cloak are like a wordless "figure", telling him what he has experienced.

A silhouette in a black robe passed by him and sat cross-legged in front of the guard Knight; the guard Knight who sensed that he wanted to get up was stopped by him.

"Is the injury better?"

Although it was a concern, Farnesis remained expressionless, leaving a drop of cold sweat on his frown, as if desperately What is suppressed.

"...has been recovered completely." Guard Knight replied: "You can set off at any time, Lord Farnesis!"

"Don't be too anxious, the goal is already here, we have many more Time." Flipping through the scriptures, Farnesis took a breath, and there was a trace of imperceptible fatigue in his eyes:

"Another day's rest, we will set off tomorrow."

"As you bid." The guard Knight who spoke silently whispered without looking back.

With a frown, Farnesis put down the scripture in his hand:

"What do you seem to want to say?"

"I just think you, Lord Farnesis It may not be a wise decision to take risks personally-in this hell shrouded by Evil God, even the formidable power of the Holy Cross will be reduced." The guard Knight said silently:

"even more how and the carrion demons that suddenly appeared... If there is nothing wrong with the documentation in the church, the appearance of such a huge army of monsters is the beginning of the northern invasion!"

The voice of guarding Knight is still in the cave. Echoing, the indifferent Farnesis slightly narrowed his eyes:

"Do you think I should return to the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain and tell them about this matter?"

"This is just a subordinate In my humble opinion, only the Holy Cross can issue orders to you." Guard Knight shook his head:

"But I always believe that the safety of the empire is the foundation of faith-if the army of Evil God invades The borders of the empire, the church will be hit hard, and it will inevitably cause turmoil in the faith of the Holy Cross!"

"Connold Dessalion."

"My lord?"

"It was at the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, did Connold Dessalion tell you in private, right?" Farnesis slowly opened the mouth and said: "The safety of the empire is the holy The root of the cross faith, this is not what you could say in the past."

The guard Knight fell silent.

"Never underestimate any Desalion, especially the Crown Prince Connaught—the mind and maturity beyond age, as well as the amazing skills and talents, should become The Supreme Emperor who is not inferior to the'sage' Brandon I, right? His Royal Highness Brandon, in comparison, has no chance of winning in front of him."

Farnesis whispered:" If there is a monster invading the empire, it’s okay to be used by this highness once; but there will be no “invasion” this time, and their target is not the Sackland Empire or the Holy Cross Church."

"There will be no invasion?!" The guard Knight's tone suddenly appeared surprised: "How do you know?"

"Because this is the will of the Holy Cross, this is the will of the Holy Cross... …It was the wish of the Holy Cross that brought me to the end of the world!"

Farnesis muttered to herself, breathing more and more rapidly, clutching his right arm firmly:

"This is the wish of the Holy Cross...

It is my own wish!"
