Wizard From Afar

Staring at the already ice-cold bones, the complexion pale dwarf sat down, his flabbergasted pupils in a daze, gasping for breath.

Lu Sien squeezed his lips tightly and curled up in a corner of the minecart; vows that Knight would, as always, hold the "star" in his arms, bowing his head as if praying.

No one spoke.

The cold wind howled, and the minecart carrying four people swiftly moved forward on the rails of the underground tunnel.

The atmosphere of death has dropped to zero.

Squatting leaning against the railing of the carriage, the black hair wizard twitched the corners of his mouth, holding on to his beating temple.

The body hasn't fully recovered from the battle with Brunhild, and the continuous use of three large-scale Torino fires is still too serious for him.

"Master Loren, are you okay?" The gray-eyed teenager looked towards him worriedly, and asked tentatively.

"It's okay, I'm alive and well."

Twitching the corner of his mouth jokingly, the black hair wizard turned his gaze to the other corner: "Paulis Miha Lord Yiluo?"

The desperate dwarf barely raised his head, as if he hadn't fully recovered from the shock.

But Loren didn’t let him off at all. Before he could respond, he asked directly: “When you came, you said,'If you start along No. 43 on the 9th Road, the direction we go may be Just...', so what?"

Hearing this question, Lucien and Oath Knight couldn't help turning around and staring at the dwarf huddled in the corner.

Paulis, who was stared at by three people at the same time, twitched his cheeks and licked his chapped lips.

"Every mine in the Yunling Kingdom has its own purpose." The dwarf said silently:

"The ninth track is the first deep well of Yinhelm Mountain. …We dig deep down the mine and keep going down. After countless generations of efforts, we have extended the mine to a sufficient depth and developed an underground mine network based on this;"

"The most important thing is that we found something different that time."

"We...the first time we discovered Mithril."

With the roar The heavy voice of the dwarf shook in the ears of the three of them like Hong Zhong.

"...so." The vowed Knight's calm voice sounded: "Follow this railroad track, we are going to enter the deepest part of the Silverhelm Mountain... the end of the world?"

"So... Isn't that the opposite of our destination?" The gray pupil stared wide-eyed in astonishment, his expression was full of surprise: "When will I go on like this to capture Silver Helmet Mountain, the army of Byrne outside? It can only last for two days at most!"

"On the contrary, this is the fastest way to reach the inside of the fortress." The dwarf glanced at him, very indifferent:

" After the Mithril Mine completely dried up, Silverhelm Mountain continued to send exploratory teams to the pit. Therefore, there was a special channel that allowed us to avoid the surrounding mine area and reach the top of the Silverhelm Mountain fortress directly."

This answer made Loren very satisfied, although he still faintly felt that something was wrong with the other party.

One of the simplest and most direct reasons-if it is so easy, Farnesis, who has already controlled the Silverhelm Mountain Fortress, could not leave it to himself without setting any trap?

But Paulis...it doesn't seem to be lying at all.

The insight and vision of Loren who turned on "transcendence perception" are far surpasses into the normal category; after going through life and death again and again, especially after the battle with Brunnhilde, he has gradually mastered the subtle observation The skills of movements and facial expressions can even hear changes in heart pulse and even blood flow.

At least for now, this dwarf is not trying to hide or deceive himself.

"The holy blood potion, and they..."

The dwarf's complexion was terribly frightened, and the cheeks under the beard were trembling constantly: "The empire's priest , The Farnesis in your mouth...what is his purpose for doing this?" Knight glanced at Loren, the black hair wizard could only be sighed and slightly nodded.

"Eboden...that is, the city of wizards, where the nine-pointed star wizard tower is located. You may have heard of it." After seeing Paulis expressing a clear expression, Loren continued to open the mouth and said:

"There, Farnesis once did something similar. As a result, most of the city, the entire civilian area became a slaughterhouse and an altar for offering sacrifices to Evil God!"

The dwarf looked sluggish, breathing disorderly, and did not react at all.

In the darkness, the lone minecart whistled past from the railroad tracks, and its descending speed became faster.

"Why?" Paulis gritted his teeth, his eyes staring like brass bells: "Why would he do this?!"

"Because in Eboden, There is something he wants."

Knight's vows sounded faintly: "Farnesis...He is dressed in the cloak of the servant of the Holy Cross, but in the bones is a wild dog chasing authority and power; in order to obtain What he wants can be by fair means or foul."

"There is no good, and no evil; he can join forces with enemies who stand on the opposite side, and he can also slaughter the innocents who stand in his way with fear. …Everything is just'he needs'."

Lu Sien on the side pressed his lips tightly, remembering the one who "helped" himself and Isaac in the Giant Dragon King City. A silhouette of a humble black robe.

At that time, he didn't kill himself because it was "necessary"?

"I think this time, it should be no different." Loren opened the mouth and said faintly, and his pitch-black pupils stared at the dwarf: "He has worked so hard, and even used the Holy Blood Potion to control the silver The old mining area of ​​Helm Mountain must be for something."

"So it must be something very special; a paragraph of text, a book, a treasure...very special, enough to make him pay At such a high price, I don’t hesitate to cause a war!"

The black hair wizard stared at the expression of the dwarf, hoping to get a little clue from him to relieve him. My last confusion.

But the result disappointed him.

The expression of the dwarf who is lost in thought is even more confused than him, and obviously doesn't know anything about it.

"Of course, this is just one of many speculations." Perceiving that the atmosphere has become depressed again, Loren immediately began to change the subject: "It is also possible that Farnesis wants to use the power of the Yunling Kingdom to weaken The empire."

"He is already a wanted criminal in the church. Everyone in the empire is shouting and beating, so he can only cause damage to the empire through external forces."

" Weakening the Sackland Empire will set off a civil war in the Yunling Kingdom?" Paulis, who was shocked and surprised, showed an unbelievable expression: "This legend...how arrogant!"

" What did he think of the great Yunling Kingdom? Who did he think he was?!"

"I said, this is just my guess, or even just one of them." Loren's eyes are calm, faint He interrupted him: "even more how is the situation...he has succeeded, hasn't he?"

The speechless dwarf's cheeks flushed, but he was speechless.

No, that's not all.

Lightly sighed, the crazy silhouette of Farnesis reflected in Loren's pupils.

"... Brunhild is only one of the links in my plan, not even the most critical; even if you stop me, you will only let the truth continue to be concealed and let this false empire And the mediocre people continue to live in deception and lies..."

Farnesis is definitely not like himself, taking one step at a time; on the day he left the giant dragon city, he already...no, Even before that, he already had an overall plan.

The bitter cold wind swept across the dark tunnels, and the minecarts that were still deepening underground had obviously begun to slow down and were about to reach everyone's destination.

There was a dead silence in the carriage again.

Until the gray pupil huddled in the corner, he tentatively stretched out his right hand, opened the mouth and said with some uncertainty: "I think...Farnesis may not be doing this to weaken the empire. , Or just weaken the empire."

The dwarf and Oath Knight frowned slightly and looked towards him with an inquiring expression.

Loren lifts the head, and gave him an encouraging look at Lu Sien, who is still a little less confident, and motioned him to continue.

"It is very simple. If the ultimate goal is to weaken the empire, then Farnesis will not aim at Silverhelm Mountain, but Cloud Peak." Lu Sien opened the mouth and said:

"The easiest way to control a region is to directly control the most powerful people in the area...Farnesis can copy everything he has done in Byrne, through the heretical cult and the Holy Blood Potion, to create one that belongs to him The puppet regime."

"I even suspect that the centaur has been controlled by him in this way, and only then will he make the decision to abandon the big boy collar and fight to the death with Laszlo Varna in the referendum!"

The gray pupils became more excited as they spoke. With that solemn and solemn expression, Loren almost saw the shadow of Uli Wiertz, Grand Duke of Allermans:

"Farnesis He didn’t just want to use it, but he was jealous of the Yunling Kingdom!"

The face of the dwarf Paulis was surprised, and the silent vow Knight suddenly widened his eyes, as if Suddenly figured out something.

"Because the Yunling Kingdom is not a centaur, nor is it a lowly barbaric race like giant monsters, but a civilization that is very high and even surpasses the empire; but such a race does not have any beliefs or even excludes Belief."

Lu Sien stared at Loren, his voice a little hoarse: "Whether it is a traitor to the church or not, Farnesis was at least a follower of the Holy Cross or Evil God."

"If this is the case, then he will have a heartfelt fear of this kind of race that does not require faith, or even rejects faith!"

"Dang——!"

The metal sound of the runner hitting the baffle is extremely harsh in the pitch-black mine.

The minecart stopped.

In the darkness, there is silence.

"Interesting guess."

With a chilling voice, it sounded from the darkness.

The four shocked people turned their heads almost at the same time, looking towards behind!

"Lu Sien...well, it seems that it was a mistake not to kill you at the beginning; the person who reversed the trajectory of the world, your existence will only make everything worse."

What …Black hair wizard felt cold and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Lu Sien, get on the ground——!!!"

Before the voice fell, I only felt murderous aura assaults the senses.

"pu ——!"

In a flash, the gray pupils lying on the railroad tracks are incredibly stared wide-eyed, staring at "floating" in Midair, the stout silhouette of the five-headed body.

A black shadow pierced the dwarf's invisible neck, and the moment the blood was gushing, the helpless body was like a fish on the chopping board, struggling...struggling...struggling...Finally, it hung weakly.

Paulis Mihailo, dead.

"The first one, he is useless..." A hoarse voice came, but he couldn't judge the direction of the sound source at all.

The expression of the black hair wizard is extremely ugly, and he is constantly scanning back and forth in the pitch black all around.

Farnesis …where is he? !

At this moment, Loren, who has both "Transcendence Perception" and "Spiritual Vision" on at the same time, was shocked to find that he could not find Farnesis's silhouette.

"Holy Cross, please let the evil disperse, and let the holy light shine on the humble us..."

Knight holding the sword with one hand, roaring and praying:

"If the future is long, please grant us blessings; if winter is approaching, please grant us fierce..."

"Clang——!"

accompany With a loud noise and cracking fire, he swore that Knight would be volleyed upside down; with a bang, blood was vomiting out of the mouth, and he barely supported his body with the "Candy Star" to prevent it from falling down.

In the next second, a strong black mist slammed through the chest of Oath Knight, leaving a huge hole in the position of the heart; Knight, who had no time to resist, was shocked and fell straight. In a pool of blood.

"Secondly, I hate the dogs that bark there, especially the wild dogs that are reluctant and pursued..."

coldly snorted , Farnesis's cruel voice sounded again: "Then, it's the third..."

"Loren!"

Looking at the fallen silhouettes one after another, scared gray pupils The boy not even think got up, and leaped straight towards the black hair wizard who was still standing in place.

"I told you to get down--!"

Loren on one-knee kneels suddenly roared, and backhanded the "force impact" that opened the magic array and aimed at it. ground.

"Boom——————!!!"

Lu Sien, who knelt down quickly, only heard the roar of the hurricane, and everything around was raging. The waves were overturned to the ground.

While the black hair wizard is still one-knee kneels in place, the grey and blue sword glow stands less than a palm distance in front of you, which can withstand the "black mist" that almost pierced the door.

"Loren ·Torino..."

With the voice of send cold shivers down one's spine, Farnesis little by little emerged from the darkness.

Long messy gray hair, tattered black robe, bloodless face-this scrawny silhouette gives the black hair wizard a great sense of oppression: "You are in my way again "I don't want to praise myself, but..." Loren gritted his teeth, pretending to be relaxed, and barely conjured up the corners of his mouth:

"This is my strength …Good afternoon, sir Farnesis."
