·
You carry Val on your shoulders, and finally walk into and close the portal.
it's over.
The look in Elander's eyes is unforgettable.
The eyes of the home mage and the retired old bishop were even more shocked. One was always ready to teleport and pull people in an emergency, and the other was waiting to rescue the defeated soldiers, but what they witnessed was your triumphant return.
The first thing Melanie did when she returned to the maze town was to take off her cloak and cover Val. The second thing was to release the girls in the non-combat group from the shadows.
Hathaway conducted post-war statistics. People in the temple system were rescuing the wounded, including those trees.
You lead a group of people straight to the deepest part of the dungeon and carefully detain Val. In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, she needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible.
Everything is ready before the expedition, and reincarnation can be held at any time.
Everyone is looking at you, waiting for you to give the final order.
Then...
let's start.
Melanie held the verdict written in advance, nodded slightly to you, then stared at the dilapidated and charred woman hanging on the magic-forbidden chain, and said word by word: "One of the five giants of the kingdom, the Pope who stole the throne.
, Val. Since the law that you firmly control cannot punish you, then we, the Adventurer's Guild, will enforce justice for God. The only pity is that this just trial cannot be made public in the sun."
Val raised his head with difficulty, glanced at Melanie, raised his lips, and then lowered his head again.
"We will perform the reincarnation ceremony on you that you personally planned to permanently eliminate you as a scourge and prevent the other five giants from having a vicious chain reaction due to your death." After a slight hesitation, Melanie threw away the verdict.
Stepping aside, "Do you have any last words?"
"Last words? What's the point?" Val lowered his head and chuckled, "No matter what I say, you will reincarnate me today. The time has not come yet..."
"Of course there is a difference."
"Oh? Will you leave what I said in black and white, tell it to my closest friends, or announce it to the world?" Val looked around, "All the core members are here, which means that what I said today will not be revealed.
Half a word. Just do it, whatever I say makes no difference."
The people behind you looked at each other and exchanged glances. As expected, it is not so easy to convince a death row prisoner.
Holding up three fingers, Melanie threatened: "The first difference is the environment in which you grew up in childhood. Poverty, an alcoholic foster father, a black street butcher shop, and a dwarf's bitter cellar will all become serious obstacles to your second life."
Hearing this, Val's mouth twitched.
"The second difference is the camp you initially belong to. We can train you to be the guild receptionist, therapist, or even the president's new favorite. Fortunately, we adults are not interested in little girl movies, so this is your only chance.
If I were you, I would lay down the last bit of my body before I die, cooperate obediently, and beg you not to include you in the harem."
"...You are right...you can ask whatever you want..."
"The third……"
"The third one is that the goddess is also listening, right." Val glanced at Julianne who was standing behind you, "The goddess's trial of me is not over yet. This involves whether I will have to practice my spellcasting ability again after my reincarnation.
Get up...Okay, I'm in pain. Let's start..."
Val has not had a serious injury in many, many years, but has been unable to treat it. This kind of pain is unforgettable.
Fiertin asked in a low voice what it meant that the goddess was listening, and Juliane explained in a low voice that the gods' observation range of the lower world is within the scope of their own divine power, specifically near the temple, what high-level believers see and hear, and where believers gather
area.
Melanie changed a piece of paper, which recorded many questions that she had wanted to ask the Big Five for a long time. Now may be an unprecedented opportunity.
"First of all, do you have any plans to launch an attack on us? For example, a night attack with elite troops, a large army going south, a joint denouncement, etc."
"Sending a large army to destroy the Maze Town was ultimately passed with two votes in favor and three votes against." Val lowered his head and murmured in a low voice, "The proposer was Swanai. He felt that just destroying the town would be the end of it. I raised objections.
, because the turmoil in the Eastern Territory preceded it, and the new Marquis of the Central-Southern Territory was not capable enough. If it happened again, the degree of turmoil in the Central-Southern Territory would be far greater than that in the Eastern Territory, and the kingdom would self-destruct without the invasion of the Sand Kingdom. His Majesty the King is the only one who likes the president.
, reminded him of his wonderful adventurous career. Saint Sisilan did not want to give little Kyle an excuse to send troops, and Yiland had a similar reason. It would be easy to flatten the maze town, but it would be an enemy of Wuxiangwan, which had returned to its heyday...
…No, no, it’s too dangerous.”
"A while ago, the night raid was approved by three votes. Saint-Siciran proposed it, and I agree. Yiland is not ashamed of this night raid method. He always wants to find evidence that can get you demoted and imprisoned. For proposals related to fighting,
Swanai agrees with everything. Regarding you, His Majesty has an optimistic and conservative attitude." After a pause, "What is a joint denunciation..."
Melanie looked at you and then continued to question.
"Do you know the organization "The Bloody Punisher"?"
"...No. After Mary was abducted, a powerful mysterious organization gradually surfaced. We haven't found any clues yet. Maybe it's this organization."
"The third thing. Tell me everything you know about how the first president of the Adventurer's Guild died and why he couldn't be resurrected."
Val rolled his eyes and sighed: "I will definitely ask about this matter. I have explained it to Shan Ting, the companions of the first president, many times, and even to other good people. Today, I will say it for the last time.
Regarding this matter, if I want to kill or cut you up after reincarnation, it’s up to you, but don’t ask me again, I can’t bear it.”
"Teach the arrogant and arrogant first generation a lesson," was proposed by Yiland and approved by four votes. Saint Sisilan objected because the other party was a brainless gangster, and it would be very troublesome to offend him, but it would be very easy to use him. Saint
Sisilang has been profiting from the first generation. Swanai must agree, but he feels that it is a pity to seal the soul of such a hero, and it loses the fun. I think that a dog that guards the home is better than a violent wolf.
It will be beneficial to everyone to make him more popular and subjugate him. His Majesty was openly ridiculed by the first generation for his lack of strength, and the relationship between the two cannot be said to be harmonious."
"The plan at that time was to completely destroy him. To smear his reputation for committing crimes, and then kill him and transport him to me as a corpse. He would be tortured to destroy his consciousness, and then he would be put on a dog leash and beaten by Swanai every day.
Beat him up until he becomes submissive. Without that sword, it will be very obvious who is stronger and weaker between the first generation and Siwanai. As atonement, let the first generation train a group of elite soldiers for the kingdom. We can forgive his arrogance for the time being. "
From the overall point of view, the five giants did not intend to kill at that time, but just wanted to turn the first generation into a watchdog. This is how they have always viewed all previous Adventurer Guilds.
Then it disappeared inexplicably, and no one was alive or dead, and no corpses were seen.
Elika interjected: "Could it be that someone completely resurrected him and returned home?"
"Afterwards, we have tried many times to completely resurrect the first generation. Generally, when the resurrection fails, the priest will get a kind of feedback information. For example, the other party refuses to be resurrected, the other party's soul has been annihilated, the death time has expired, and there is not enough information about the other party.
Whether it is clear or not accurate enough, the resurrection is hindered due to a certain spell or reason, which increases the difficulty. In short, when the resurrection fails, the general reason will be known. Of course, this also includes the situation where "the opponent is still alive and cannot be resurrected."
In response, Julianne nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
"But you have also tried it in the first generation. When resurrecting the first generation, the simple feedback is "Resurrection failed, the other party cannot be found" is exactly the same as the situation of soul sealing." After so many years, Val also made a bold speculation, "I think
, or it may be that a certain force group was quick to seize the opportunity when we secretly transported the first-generation corpse, completely resurrected him elsewhere, and then killed him and sealed his soul. Although it is a bit roundabout, it can achieve the effect of concealment and recall.
The corpse prevents resurrection. That's just my guess, of course."
During the interrogation, whispers came from behind.
Some of them are very worried. Just now, Elland watched you kidnap Val. Will they immediately use magic to teleport over to snatch people? Maybe alone, or maybe a large army will attack before dark today, because if you kidnap Val,
This is what Elend saw with his own eyes. There are many ways to save people, and you can even redeem them through gentlemanly negotiation. Generals are often redeemed on the battlefield.
If it were you, watching your important companions being kidnapped, would you probably do nothing? Either rob people, send your troops south, or negotiate to redeem people, it's impossible to do nothing, right?
Annette asked: "Based on what you know about Elander, what is the most likely way he will deal with us next? And Swanai."
"The lack of members has been confirmed. The four people voted, and His Majesty regarded it as one and a half votes. It may happen..." Val thought for a while and continued,
A. Elander proposed a formal search, kicked down the door, and turned the case upside down. Of course, it couldn't be in name of looking for the Pope, otherwise it wouldn't be embarrassing enough. Swanai disdains this roundabout way, and others will agree.
B. His Majesty will offer to talk to you personally. He will take the villa's human bodyguards, listen to your conditions, and resolve the issue peacefully. Let you release me and give you promotions and new fiefdoms. Only Yiland
Will agree.
C. Siwanai will propose to lead 10,000 elite troops to attack here within three days and formally take over the pioneer village. War is not your strong point, you will lose. Your Majesty will not agree. Saint Sisilang will support it, but Yilan
The attitude of virtue...is difficult to describe.
D. Saint Sisilang will propose to rob people tonight. Although it is in vain, I have not mentioned the reincarnation ceremony to Saint Sisilang and Swanet. Therefore, they want to see people in life and death and see corpses. Your Majesty
He probably wouldn't agree. It's hard to tell about Elende's attitude, because he knows it will be too late to rob someone, but he may also think that if he can find clues about Mary, it won't be a loss.
The chatter behind you is getting louder and louder.
The guild is at the end of its strength and cannot afford to suffer a second disaster. The argument that it is time to move overnight is gradually emerging.
"Their powers?"
"You haven't found any of this? Haha..."
"There are different opinions and it is difficult to determine."
"Alas. I will be defeated by you guys... Okay." Val said in a very desperate tone, "My powers can suppress those below me from exerting their strength. Your Majesty's is so famous that it can turn buildings into beauties. Saint Sisilan's
It’s really difficult to investigate, it’s herd immunity. According to our research over the years... Oh, how could I end up like this, explaining academic issues to a group of people..."
Taking a deep breath, Val continued to explain helplessly: "The strength of supernatural powers is closely related to the noble blood. It can also be exercised later, but the exercise method has been lost. As a legitimate heir of a noble family, the royal bloodline is the most outrageous, and the Duke's family also
It's just okay, the rest of us are not worth mentioning. After training, it finally became somewhat useful."
1. The path of no regrets. If a person with superpowers feels no regrets at several key points in his life, he can improve his overall strength.
Second, the touch of reality. After paying the price, magic protection, armor, and mental illusions will all become ineffective.
To be continued...
