Chapter 32 The Hall of Mirrors (3)
After exiting the hall of mirrors, Franny immediately recruited guards.
"Where is Baron Claudia?"
The soldiers lined up in line lowered their heads, "She left the palace before the meeting was over."
Claudia's escape directly confirmed the name of a traitor, and made Franny even more desperate.
Damn the son of nature, he really made the meeting public! Even the guards in the palace saw it. Who else in this new capital didn’t know what happened in the Mirror Hall?
"Send the order to arrest Claudia throughout the journey! I abolish her title in the name of regent, without any scruples, life and death!"
He didn't want to leave behind the angry princess, even the guards on duty retreated.
Franny paced back and forth in the room.
No wonder she always lobbies me to join the army of Heiye, saying that she has seen too many death scenes and does not want to stay on the front line anymore. Lies! They are all lies!
Unwilling to let go of his years of hard work, Farlanie activated the audio and video device placed in the palace and asked his mentor Bard for help. As a result, he was flatly rejected as during the meeting.
"You must be thinking, no matter how strong the son of nature is, after all, there are many precepts and constraints. This incident is just a case. And they are too small to pose a threat to Hornheim?"
Farlanie lowered her head, and she did think so: "This time, I misjudged Link's mind and eloquence, and I will never take it lightly next time."
"There is another next time?" Bud rebuked, "Is it not enough for you to remember?"
Although the son of nature has been repeatedly weakened for thousands of years and cannot be compared with the heyday, this is different. Link was an apostle who was not sealed during the Golden Age and possessed the power of four pillar gods.
"I know why the undead's offensive weakened after the Battle of the North?"
Farlanie shook her head in confusion. It was precisely because of this that the surviving nobles continued to live a life of extravagance and desire, completely ignoring the army of undead that could be at the city at any time.
"That's because Shuanghan disappeared after winning the Battle of the North."
What? Shuanghan is missing? The Lich King, who is known as the God of Death, has almost no rivals in the material world except for a strong man like a mentor. If it weren't for the gods, who would have such ability to quietly kill the Lich King who was in charge of the four directions?
Farlanie couldn't hide her shock, and then she felt relieved when she thought about it.
Shuanghan is extremely deterrent to the enemy. The Immortal Empire is willing to announce its disappearance or annihilation. Only in this way can we explain the strange actions of the undead over the past few decades. The remaining two undead leaders are busy fighting for command and have no time to take care of a mess of humans.
The tutor will not mention this for no reason. Could it be that Shuanghan's disappearance is related to Link, the son of nature?
"Shuanghan and Link both came from the exile place. It is said that he destroyed the other half of Shuanghan's life box hidden in another world, and Shuanghan, who was severely injured, had to hide it." Under the protection of the conspiracy barrier, Bud never discovered that Winnie from Krenberg was Shuanghan's possession medium.
In order to better disguise, Shuanghan did not completely erase the original soul of his body. Under its control, Winnie became an absolute puppet. Until Shuanghan thought of the semi-demon plan and nurturing high-level demons exhausted Winnie's vitality. Since Doyle was born, the Winnie she came into contact with was Shuanghan. It was not until Malik changed his camp and removed many conspiracy barriers maintained by divine power. Bud realized that Winnie, Doyle, who was exiled for trying to summon the demons, was Shuanghan.
The recent collective retreat of the undead should be related to Frost Han, perhaps in order to prepare to retake the rights of the rulers of the Immortal Empire. It was for this reason that Bard decided to accept Franny's invitation to attend the Mirror Hall Conference held after forty years.
It is said that Farlanie couldn't believe that when would Bard, as a wise man, have listened to the rumors?
But she didn't dare to ask such doubtful words directly, Hornheim was the last backer she could rely on.
After Franny wanted to take advantage of Link's entry into the guardian land, he had no worries about the news that the nobles took back the Doyle family's title. From the beginning, Bard didn't think she would succeed. Not to mention whether Link could participate, even if the nobles were willing to dismiss the united front and then discuss who would take office, the Wood Elf King would not agree, and if he changed to anyone, he was just envious of the minerals in his territory, so it would be better to fight to the death, anyway, he had the support of his son of nature.
When the Son of Nature entered the thirty day of the Guardian Land, all the priests and mages felt the changes in the world quietly. The flow of life has recovered, and the end of the elemental tide also means that Hornheim will return to his former strength. Then, the spider web came news that shocked all the participants - Link appeared in Worland, and he also brought another Son of Nature and a large group of druids. Then, there was a surprising transformation camp. Malik, who has been known for his evil since ancient times, actually gave up the night elves of his origin and chose humans as the main faith group.
There were so many major events that happened on this day, and Bard guessed the beginning of the matter, but failed to guess the end of the matter.
Link not only caught up with the early Mirror Hall Meeting, but also gave Franny a fatal blow to take advantage of his absence from the title.
The descendants of Kolk, who had been in a slump since losing the Battle of the North, are incomparable to the last person in the Doyle family who was willing to risk their lives to fight with Frost Cold. In particular, Link also threw out a bombshell of Claudia as the night elf. If you want to take your anger, the people would rather spread their anger on the cowardly and incompetent royal family.
Since the rebellion of the princes, the royal family has lost control of the nobles in various places, which directly led to the chaos of the nobles taking their own control and the undead leaving the people to escape as soon as they arrived.
After all, it was a master-apprentice game, and Bard gave Frannie another advice.
"The power of the Son of Nature is not the most fearful thing about them. What really makes the gods fear is that the Pillar observes the material world through the apostles they personally selected. The existence of the Son of Nature itself is equivalent to the will of the Pillar. Among the two and three generations of gods, there is no way to resist the existence of the Pillar, but in some major issues related to the fate of the world and survival, the opinions of the first generation have always been unified. Do you understand what I mean?"
Farlani's scalp was tingling when she heard this. Was she just watching the Son of Nature destroying the empire that she had spent ten years rebuilding little by little? She was unwilling to give up!
Bard was silent, and the situation became like this, strictly speaking, Franny asked for it.
He once asked Finn from the same world that Link was usually an easy-going person. He would only go against the norm when he touched the bottom line and did some amazing actions.
Especially the passage Link said about 'food' and 'fairness' that touched Bud deeply.
He is a relatively moderate conservative and partially agrees with Link's words and deeds. The nobles are lazy and hate labor and only know how to exploit the people. It is time to reorganize the power of human beings. If this counterattack against the undead failed again, the pillars may really destroy human beings.
Bud firmly believed that what Link said in the Hall of Mirrors was a warning.
"I won't break the master-apprentice relationship, but Hornheim will no longer protect the Kolk family."
Bader's words hit Franny a lot and he became much haggard immediately.
As a wise man, Bard would not be as powerful as others, so why should he rush to separate himself from him?
"This is Bray's instructions." This sentence alone is enough. Hornheim's mages will not violate Bray who has taken office as a clergy. His prestige among the mages is better than Lorelai, who has just been replaced.
"Why? The Empire has always regarded Hornheim as a guest of honor. Over the past thousand years, it has delivered countless money and various rare materials, and it has been abandoned so easily like a worn-out clog?" Even though he still retained a master-apprentice relationship with Bard, Frannie felt it was meaningless.
"Originally, I didn't plan to say it, but since you are stubborn, I'll tell you another secret that cannot be disclosed to the public. Bray's deity was made by Link."
"You mean, I was still a great sage at that time..." Frannico dared not talk about the name of the god like Bud.
Bray stayed on the ladder for thousands of years, and people only thought that he was not practicing enough. He could not be a god, but forty years ago, in the first year of Longyan Castle falling, he suddenly crossed the last obstacle and became three generations of gods under the magic goddess Lorelai. Some historians believe that this is a turning point in the history and destiny of mankind. Although Bray was not the earliest mage, his existence almost ran through the entire history of Hornheim and the human empire. As early as the early stage of the empire, there was a prophecy about Bray, saying that his death would be a regression between the mage and the empire. As expected, when Bray became a god, the battles between Longyan Castle and the Northern failed one after another, and the empire's territory shrank to the least in history, and the mage also suffered a serious regression due to the continued tide of elemental tide.
Everything has verified the prophecy from a thousand years ago. Although it is no longer possible to verify who made it, whether it is coincidence or fate, the prophecies have indeed come true one by one.
The rest is no longer necessary for Bud to continue.
It is reasonable for Bray to help Link everywhere.
Franny was ashamed. This battle without gunpowder was completely lost. Not only did she lose all her advantages, but her trusted confidant instantly became a traitor who pushed her into the abyss of public opinion. Even her last backer abandoned her. Without Hornheim's support, the nobles who had finally won her would no longer take her seriously.
Seeing Farlanie's face was full of grief and anger, Bud felt sorry for her.
The nobles insisted on intermarriage for hundreds of years, which allowed elements to accumulate through their bloodlines. The royal family's spell talent was far superior to that of ordinary people. If they could concentrate on practicing spells, Farlanie had the opportunity to become another female sage after Claire. Unfortunately, she was too burdened and instilled by Claudia in the idea of reshaping the glory of the empire since she was a child. She cared too much about power and had too great ambitions, and it was difficult for her to become a great man in the end.
The audio and video technique was unilaterally terminated, and the guards in armor ran in to report and found Claudia who was about to escape from the city near the south city.
Farlani raised her head and stared at the guards with bloodshot eyes, "Notify the Morning Sect and ask them to assist in capturing Claudia, a spy in the chaotic camp."
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After Claudia, who caused the search for the whole city, saw the meeting image refracted above Xindu with projection in the palace, she sneaked out of the palace by taking advantage of everyone's attention to the projection.
The identity was revealed, and humans could not survive. Claudia planned to return to Elision. She originally wanted to escape directly from the city by relying on the unique advantages of the Night Elf clan. Claudia suddenly found that she could not sneak in the shadow.
This night elf, the night elf, who can only be used by Malik, will be born. This is the first time she has failed in her life.
I tried again, but I still couldn't sneak up.
Only then did Claudia realize that something big happened!
Did Malik give up on himself? Or did he give up on the entire Night Elf? She had no answer.
If she loses the ability to sneak in the shadows, she cannot pass the city gate. There is a magic crossbow made by browsing on the city wall, which can shoot any invaders who try to forcibly pass into a sieve. She is as agile as she dares not take this risk. When the meeting ends, the furious Franny will never let her go. Claudia comes to the stronghold of the spider web in the old underground city. In contrast, she is more willing to choose a relatively less dangerous one.
The dark underground overlaps several old towns from different periods. The spider webs and shadow thorns hover in the space filled with coldness and various underground creatures. Such a terrain cannot trap Claudia, who has half-night elf blood, and in the dark environment, she can better play her racial characteristics. In addition to some thieves who are not eyebrowed, underground creatures that are more sensitive to breath avoid the invincible former Ranger General.
The spider web pendant carried on the body opened the headquarters gate of the spider web deep underground. Except for extraordinary times, most of the members of the spider web were collecting information outside, and only a few managers would stay here.
I found the mesh with various organ traps arranged by mesh. The mesh was just like what she thought, just staying in front of the huge crystal mirror to collect information from all over the country.
"I have something to ask you." Although Claudia is not young among the half-elves, the elves will not age until they die, making them look much younger than their actual age.
【Now is your chance to show your loyalty.】
In the dark, a voice said.
The spider web leader narrowed his narrow eyes and stared at the woman who was sexy and deadly.
Unlike Ethereal Holy Glow or Wood Elf, the Night Elf has a fuller figure, full of mature charm and seductive charm.
[Sacrifice to me this spy that has lost its value.]
The mesh pulled his eyes back to the huge crystal in front of him, "You have become the number one wanted criminal in the city, Claudia."
"That's why I'm here to ask for your help." Claudia twisted her waist and moved closer step by step.
The mesh itself was also on the throne of blood, and she didn't want to be the first blood sacrificer of his newly collected daggers.
"What benefits can I get?" Mesh wrapped his hands around his chest. This was a signal that he had no malice.
Claudia also spread her hands and said that she was not holding a weapon.
Two dangerous elements with one-strike ability have a ulterior motive.
"I exchanged a secret with you that only a very few people know." The tip of my tongue licked along my ears, and Claudia said the first half, "Hearing that the proton sent to the Dawn Sect by the Doyle family?"
The mesh looked at Claudia meaningfully. Doyle's life experience and the great priest went to Krenberg with the information of the spider web to find out first. Two months later, this is no longer a secret of exchange value.
"No, I'm not talking about these appearances." Claudia gently stroked the strong mesh abdominal muscles and whispered in his ear: "She is Shuanghan as the new container to raise."
The mesh's body showed a slight stiffness, which did not escape the observation of Claudia who was leaning against him.
He took the bait. As long as he still wanted this news, there would be hope for him to leave the city.
"What else?"
"Haha..." Claudia let go of her hand and slowly retreated, "I'll tell you when she leaves the city."
She also made the same mistake as Franny, overconfidence.
Since she has always maintained a relationship with previous mesh, she thought she could rely on this and escape from the city before the guards took action. Claudia would never have imagined that Malik, who was good at stabbing the knife in the back, wanted to use this opportunity to whitewash herself and establish an image of a change camp.
Just under the guidance of the mesh, she went from a well-connected secret passage to the vicinity of the South City Gate. What awaited her was the encirclement of the Shadow Thorns.
The moment she walked out of the secret passage, the dazzling sunlight made Claudia subconsciously close her eyes, and then she noticed a trace of murderous aura, coming from above her head.
She rolled on the spot regardless of her image and avoided the quietly falling sword. If she had any hesitation, she would have been cut into two pieces at this moment.
Pulling out the self-defense dagger from the calf, Claudia looked at the mesh that was also already in her hand with a penis.
"Although we have a good personal relationship, I cannot go against Malik's wishes." The mesh shrugged and looked at his old lover with a determined look.
Now that things have come to this point, it’s useless to say anything. Claudia stroked her hands and knocked down an assassin who was eager for quick success and instant benefits.
Even if she could no longer sneak in the shadows, her close combat power was no worse than that of a bow shooting. She turned around and stabbed an assassin who had just emerged from the shadows. Claudia, who had experienced the war, knew that she could not entangle with the enemy and the others. She put a few assassinators and quickly got into the crowd, and staged a scene in the downtown area where the shadows and spider webs joined forces to hunt down the night elf's inner responders.
The crowd of panicked and screamed pointed the direction for the guards, and the gates that were laid down also attracted the Celestial Clan, which was commissioned by the royal family. The re-installed Knights of Dawn formed a siege, trapping Claudia in the empty streets. Because she was in a hurry, she did not bring any other weapons except the daggers she carried with her. She only had poisoned daggers that could not pierce the armor that Knights of Dawn with divine power.
