Throne of Magical Arcana

The voice was high and low, ethereal, making it impossible to find Sharp's exact location. In the hotel, one after another figures flashed and disappeared. It was Fernando and other magicians who were alarmed by the fight just now.

"Find a way to escape, and see you at Lake Lamorag in the land of a thousand lakes!" As soon as Douglas' figure appeared in the corner, Fernando's spiritual connection extended over vigilantly and tacitly, telling him the place to meet after being separated.

It's not that he's afraid of "Azure Gift" Sharp. In the presence of Douglas, the nine-ring archmage, he thinks that it is possible to kill the opponent after joining forces. After all, Douglas knows "time stops" and is the best among the archmages. He also has many high-level strange spells. Although he can't compete with the Golden Knight head-on, he can influence, interfere, weaken, and restrict the opponent, making the battle of the same level appear one-sided.

However, this is Rentat, under the care of many strong men, if there is any movement, it will be noticed and besieged. If one of the two in Nexus Palace or the Glory Cathedral makes a move, I and others There is no possibility of surviving—"Sword of Truth" Williamson Hofenberg accepted the invitation of the church and went to the front line of Alto. The guard of Nexor Palace was "Heart of Time" Ketonia, which made the legendary A name that even a magician would tremble!

Ever since he was born, the young, powerful, and vigorous man followed Williamson Hofenberg and killed one after another powerful magicians, sea tribes, elves, vampires, devils, and demons, using them His bones and blood paved the way to the epic realm, and after that, he killed the legendary magician "Lord of Shadows" Osiris, and the dark epic knight "Faceless", stepping on their heads, and promoted to the legendary second rank , The reputation is so great that those who hear it are terrified!

One of the battles was less than ten years after he was promoted to an epic knight. During a routine hunt, he met Osiris, the former "Governor of Holm" and "Lord of Shadows" of the Sylvanas Magic Empire.

This is a powerful magician who has lived for at least four thousand years. He was once so close to the third level of legend, but unfortunately he still failed to break through. King Viken became the "Governor of the Holm Region" and took control of this part of the territory. Later, in the "Dawn War", he was attacked by the "Sword of Truth" Hofenberg and a saint-level cardinal, and suffered heavy losses. , mysteriously disappeared.

As a result, the Storm Strait territory of the Sylvanus Magic Empire - the "Great Holm Region" fell into a leaderless situation. Several legendary magicians with poor qualifications and strength refused to accept anyone, let alone the Arthur Empire. The combination of the legendary mages, under the separate blows of the Church of Truth and the noble knights, one after another fell, achieving the glory of the "Sword of Truth", making him one of the only nine legendary third-tier epic knights currently one.

But who knows, after the "Great Holm Region" fell apart and a new generation of noble knights grew up, the "Lord of Shadows" Osiris "lived" back and met the "Heart of Time" Cthonia.

The aftermath of that battle destroyed most of the witnesses, leaving only a few people. According to them, after the "Heart of Time" destroyed the phylactery of the "Lord of Shadows", they said very vigorously: " You are old, even your soul and spells are 'rotten'..."

This also solved the doubts of some mages. Normally, mages can suppress knights of the same level. Even if they have special blood, they are at most tied or close. I have never heard of any epic knight who can fight one-on-one. Zhong Yuejie killed the legendary magician. At first, the magicians suspected that the "Lord of Shadows" had not fully recovered from the fatal wounds caused by the saint-level cardinal and the "Sword of Truth", and his strength had declined seriously. Now, They have yet another powerful reason.

Yes, the "Lord of Shadows" Osiris is really too old, he is approaching the limit of his own life, his soul has begun to decay, and his mental power and magic power will naturally drop significantly!

Although this made the self-esteem of the magicians feel better, they soon had to face up to a problem, that is, not only the "Lord of Shadows" was old, but even the magic empire seemed to be old and decayed.

In these hundreds of years of war, one after another young cardinals or epic knights were "born", and among them there were many outstanding figures similar to "Heart of Time", such as "Arbitration Angel" Rudolf, For example, there were several cardinals before becoming the pope, and among the three major magic empires, there are very few newly promoted legendary magicians, and there are not many "young people" who are four or five hundred years old, showing an obvious sense of aging and decay .

This rate of promotion is actually similar to that before the Dawn War, but it was in peacetime, and the legendary magicians lived long enough, it doesn't matter if no one is promoted for a short time, but now, many people compare this situation to The "sunset" in the evening, although there is still a little brilliance left, it will eventually disappear irresistibly and fall into the darkness.

Even many veteran magicians lamented: "The old will eventually be replaced by the young. This is an irreversible fate. In front of the young, vigorous, and energetic Church of Truth and nobles, magicians and magic empires are like An old body that has been decayed for a long time, it will fall if you poke it."

For some reason, these thoughts flashed through Douglas' mind, causing him to feel inexplicable sadness. Then, he controlled his emotional fluctuations and planned to use the "shadow" to jump out of Sharp's lock and help other magicians escape. .

"Escape first, leave them alone!" Old Green suddenly flew up and floated in mid-air, blocking the falling water droplets.

His dull, sluggish, lifeless dead green left eye became dark black, as if hiding a bottomless pit, a death hole capable of absorbing all life.

Douglas understood the meaning of Old Green's words very well. Other magicians who didn't even have a high level died as soon as they died. His Nine-ringed Archmage was the hope of the revival of the Magic Empire. However, he still hesitated a little, and at the same time It was noticed that the previous fight did not attract the attention of the nearby church.

In mid-air, Sharp's voice came with the sound of splashing water: "I 'blocked' the surrounding area before I shot, so no one will notice, I have something to tell you."

Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly appeared in the lobby of the small hotel, he walked into the bar and poured himself a glass of spirits.

Douglas didn't do anything, and looked at each other with Old Green and Fernando, who was covering the others to leave. Surprise filled his heart, and at the same time, there was a faint hope.

Sharp took the initiative to expose this matter and did not deliberately hide it from the church. Could it be that he also has the idea of ​​cooperating with the trade union? Has his idea been approved by the "Sword of Truth" far away in Alto?

"Remember to pay for the wine and house repairs." Old Green fell down and returned to his decadent state of indifference.

Fernando stepped into the hall and said to Sharp, who was drinking with squinted eyes, "What are you talking about?"

Sharp snorted: "I want to kill someone, but it's not convenient for me to do it myself. It is said that you magicians will accept such a commission?"

"Who?" Douglas pressed his hand, signaling Fernando not to be impulsive.

His calm and calm attitude made Fernando raise his face, resisting the idea of ​​mocking Sharp's cowardice, and listened carefully to his answer.

Sharp took another sip of his wine and smiled again: "Alfonso, the person I want to kill is Alfonso."

Alfonso? There are many people with this name, but they are mainly concentrated in the countries around the holy city of Reims. In Rentat, there are only a few answers to this name, and among them, there is only one who can make it difficult for Sharp to do it!

"Cardinal Alfonso?" A deep light shone in Old Green's dull eyes.

Fernando was also taken aback. The deputy head of the "Sword of Truth" knights, the golden knight "Dark Blue Gift", actually entrusted an "evil" magician to assassinate a ninth-level cardinal? What a strange thing this is!

"Yes, he is a person who admires the Lord extremely. He believes that all authority belongs to the Lord, and nobles are also lambs. Therefore, we don't get along very well." Sharp looked at the three of them with a half-smile.

"Cardinal Alfonso is a ninth-level clergyman, the main assistant of Franz the 'Angel of Grace', the real giant of the Holm Parish Inquisition..." Douglas also made a report about Rentat during this time Information collection, and "Angel of Grace" Franz is one of the two priests of the Holy Spirit who stayed in the territory of the Storm Strait of the Church of Truth. He can add a "Holy" word before his name!

Old Green lowered his eyes again: "Alfonso will basically never leave Rentat. Who can assassinate him under the protection of Franz? Unless he doesn't want to live anymore..."

The previous raid on the referee caused an uproar, and it was taken over by the "Heart of Time" Ctonia himself. If Alfonso was lured away from Rentate by leaking his possessions, it would probably be accompanied by the "Heart of Time"! That is no easier to deal with than "Angel of Divine Favor" - Ketonia is known as the closest epic knight to the third rank!

Even Fernando, who is so proud and violent, didn't dare to agree directly at this time. This kind of thing may not be possible with the entire trade union.

"Haha." Sharp raised his head and laughed twice, as if he was very happy. Then he lowered his head and looked at Douglas and Fernando without a smile: "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

He stood up and said with an attitude of looking down: "Your strategy is very good to win the nobles against the church, but, you have forgotten one thing, this is a game that only the strong can 'play'!"

"Can't even kill a ninth-level cardinal? What qualifications do you have to play this balanced game? How many legendary magicians do you have? How much power do you have to resist the church?"

"If you don't have the strength, no matter how many things you do, as long as Alto's legendary magicians are defeated and the church frees up their hands, you will still end in extinction. No noble will dare to cooperate with you."

He snorted: "Stay away from Hathaway, if Green hadn't mixed up with you, I would have..."

After a pause, he walked towards the door with his hands behind his back: "A group of mice, don't try to get involved in the battle between giants!"

Fernando blushed, and his eyes seemed to contain a terrifying storm. If Douglas hadn't suppressed him secretly, he would have erupted long ago.
