"Now I understand why the temple sent such a powerful lineup to hunt you down." Du Wei smiled bitterly.
The two strongest knight captains, a large number of senior knights, and the chief judge... this lineup can be called the strongest lineup deployed by the temple in the past hundred years.
The reason is that the secret discovered by Hussein is so amazing!
Who in the Roland Empire does not respect the great founding emperor? Who does not respect those founding heroes in history? Even now in the palace of the imperial capital, in the living room of His Majesty the Emperor, there is a portrait of Aragorn Roland hanging in the palace.
, and his huge oil painting of the all-powerful and mysterious Knights of Saint Laurent.
Even in the era when Du Wei's Luo Lin family rose to prominence hundreds of years ago, the Roland Empire encountered its biggest crisis since the founding of the country, and the empire was once in dire straits. The emperors at that time had publicly issued statements similar to "If I can
If His Majesty Aragorn Roland, our ancestor, has a knights like Saint Laurent in his hands, he will never let the empire sink to such a state!"
If word spreads, we will learn that the temple is doing such terrible things behind the scenes: it has been secretly cursing the souls of the founding emperor and the founding heroes for hundreds of years!
If such a thing were spread... it would cause the anger of the royal family and the anger of the people of the empire, and I am afraid that the centuries-old prestige of the temple could be wiped out in an instant!
Under such circumstances, how could Hussein not die? He must die! He must die! He must die! This is the so-called murder and silence.
"But now, I have told you this secret." Hussein sneered.
Duwei was speechless.
He couldn't help but sigh: Curiosity kills people.
Even the pride of the Holy Knights, who he has cultivated for many years, and the most talented knight who has placed high hopes on him, can bear to kill him quickly... Isn't it just to cover up this secret? What about me? I am a little nobleman,
Even if the Luo Lin family is deeply rooted in the empire... then the temple will definitely kill Du Wei and silence him!
Knowing this kind of secret is tantamount to seeking death.
"Now, do you still want to listen?" Hussein's voice was full of mockery, and he saw the change in Du Wei's face.
Du Wei smiled bitterly: "Do I still have a chance to turn back? Please, I have been in this forest with you for so many days. If the temple finds out, I will definitely be among the top three on the blacklist! You say or
Don’t talk about it. The result is the same. Anyway, we have already started, so we might as well continue talking.”
Hussein showed a hint of appreciation on his face, but his tone remained cold: "You like to cause trouble yourself, but I'm not harming you."
Afterwards, Hussein sighed and looked up at the sky: "The badge of Aragon..."
Aragorn is not only a powerful knight, but also a great magician.
There was a magic circle hidden on the badge he left behind. And this magic circle left an afterimage message of himself. Hussein entered the inner hall that night and saw the cursed badges. At the same time, he also
Got a message from Aragorn himself.
How did the founding emperor of the Roland Empire die? Hussein could not answer this question. Because Aragon himself did not mention it in his message... This is a very simple reason: when Aragon himself left the message, of course he was still alive.
.How can a living person tell how he died?
However, the message hinted at a very important message. That is: when the founding emperor was still in power, at that time, the relationship between His Majesty Aragon and the temple was already very, very tense... almost to the point of incompatibility!
This is easy to understand.
There is no doubt that Aragorn is a heroic figure with great talent and great strategy. Such people are usually extremely smart and have a strong desire for power. He can start from a declining noble, then conquer the north and south, and divide the country into four.
Unifying the earth and the continent. Building a huge empire that has never been seen in history. Such a great achievement can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
When such a super powerful person unified the continent and wiped out the world, when he was ready to take control of the power and drew his sword and looked around, thinking that there was no opponent who could compete with him... he suddenly discovered that there was a temple right next to him.
exist!
How could a person like him allow such a thing?!
What is the temple? The temple is a religion, a belief! It is the representative organization of the supreme god in the human world! It represents the will of the god. It represents the will of the great god! It is equivalent to having a wide range of institutions throughout the entire continent.
The influence and authority of another...Emperor!
Moreover, such influence and authority are not abstract, but real! Aragorn received strong support from the temple in the war to unify the continent. In order to win over the temple, he even joined the temple and became a member of the temple.
A holy knight. To unify the continent, Aragorn relied on the power of the temple to establish an empire. At the same time, the temple also relied on Aragorn's long sword and iron hoofs to spread the glory of God throughout the continent!
Finally, according to the earliest agreement between the two parties: the temple not only has its own armed force (Holy Knights), but also has taxation rights!
With force and taxation, this is almost equivalent to establishing a state within a state within the Roland Empire! The people of the entire empire inevitably have dual identities: on the one hand, they are subjects of the Roland Empire;
On the other hand, they are believers in the temple.
These gave the temple the capital it needed to challenge the imperial power of the empire.
Aragorn is a smart man, and he quickly saw the danger of this situation. In other words, he had expected this situation, but he had held back before because the war to unify the continent required the help of the temple. But the empire
After it was established, he could not tolerate anyone who could challenge the imperial power within the empire!
As a result, the conflict between the Roland Empire royal family and the temple is about to break out!
"How can we allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed?!"
After Du Wei thought about it, this was probably what the great founding emperor thought at that time.
What's more, Du Wei knows that His Majesty Aragon is simply a believer in the devil!
The various processes of the struggle back then must have been bloody, dark, and intense...but we don't know it now. The only result that can be known is that the great Aragorn obviously failed.
Because the temple has existed to this day, and is still faintly competing with the imperial power.
But Aragorn himself was secretly punished by the temple. He has suffered from the temple's secret curse for nearly a thousand years, and his soul cannot rest in peace.
How did Aragorn die? Duwei didn't know. But he guessed that it was probably not so honorable or a bit shameful.
Such a powerful figure, a strong man with the top strength in the mainland... Even if the temple hates him to the core, it is definitely an extremely difficult thing to kill him.
Poison? Assassination? Conspiracy?
God knows.
And...killing such a strong man...
Du Wei doesn't think anyone else in this world can do it! That is the strongest person under the starry sky!! Who else can be stronger than him?
Unless it's...
Du Wei shuddered!
Could it be that the gods took action? The gods killed Aragorn?!
There is nothing impossible about this. Du Wei, who has been to Alcatraz Island, feels that this possibility is very, very high.
"The magic circle left by that person is about three important messages." Hussein said this: "The first one, he told me that only people with the blood of the thirteen members of the Knights of Saint Laurent can trigger this
The magic circle resonates and opens. And I am a descendant of the members of the Knights of Saint Laurent."
This is another surprising news.
Hussein has the blood of a member of the Order of Saint Laurent. He is a descendant of a member of the Order of Saint Laurent!
"I never knew this myself." Hussein smiled bitterly: "My ancestors were a descended noble family. It is said that they once glorified in the founding war of the empire. The family also became prosperous later, but many generations before
It has declined. And by my generation, it has almost disappeared... You should understand how strict the temple is when selecting holy knights. In order to worry about the penetration of imperial power into the interior of the temple, the temple has never chosen any noble family.
The Holy Knights of the temple will only select children from poor families. When I remember, my family was very poor. I never thought that... my ancestors would actually have such brilliant achievements... Oh my God.
The Knights of Saint Laurent...the most mysterious and powerful heroes in the history of the founding of the Empire. You can't imagine how shocked I was when I looked at the shadow of Aragon in the magic circle and said this to me that day!"
"I can imagine." Du Wei smiled bitterly. He interrupted the knight who was obsessed with memories and asked cautiously: "Okay, this is the first message, what are the next two messages?"
"The second item is also relevant to you now." Hussein smiled maliciously: "Do you still remember this set of moves I taught you? I said that this is the basis for practicing a certain kind of magical fighting spirit.
Part. And this magical fighting spirit is the second message in Aragorn's message... The strongest martial skill that Aragorn himself relied on to sweep across the continent's strong men and become the King of Knights: Starry Fighting Spirit!"
Du Wei swallowed hard and said, "Did he teach it to you?"
"Yes." Hussein blinked: "And now, you have learned the basic parts. After you practice to a certain level, I can consider teaching you the later parts."
Du Wei was silent for a long time before digesting the news. Then he sighed: "Where is the last message? What is the last message?"
"The last one... is to guide me to find my companions." When Hussein said this, he suddenly showed a look of hatred: "Looking for other descendants of Aragon."
Other heirs?
Du Wei could imagine that Aragon left his powerful martial arts skills in the knight's badge and taught them to Hussein, a descendant of the Thirteen Saint Laurent Knights.
Then...don't forget. Aragorn also has unrivaled magical power!
Du Wei opened his mouth: "Could it be..."
At this moment, a sigh came from the woods.
From behind the big tree, he slowly walked around a figure. He walked calmly on the snow, his feet stepping on the soft snow without leaving a trace.
His beard was gray, the hat on his head was pointed, and the white mage robes he wore were full of stains. There were even faint burns in some places, and there were two large holes in the two parts of his ribs.
Looking at him in such a miserable state, it was obvious that he had been through a fierce battle.
Wei Weian's teacher, the old magician who kidnapped Du Wei all the way, walked out of the woods at this moment. I don't know how long he has been here, and I don't know how much he has listened. His face is calm. There is a look in his eyes.
Planting something bitter, he smiled bitterly in a low voice as he walked away: "
"That's me. The descendant who inherited part of Aragorn's magical power is me."
"That's right, it's this old immortal place." Hussein glanced at the old magician. As if he was not surprised at all by his sudden arrival, he said coldly: "He is my companion. But if it weren't for him, I wouldn't
It will be so miserable!"
The old magician was a little haggard, and he walked quietly to the two of them. He looked at Medusa, who was standing in the distance with her eyes closed and enjoying the sunshine, and shook his head: "You have gone too far, alas...Queen Medusa!"
It’s actually Queen Medusa! Everything is exactly as predicted.”
Du Wei immediately caught the old magician's words: "Prophecy?"
The old magician ignored Du Wei's question. He walked to Medusa, looked at the beautiful snake carefully for a while, and then bowed slightly: "Dear Queen Medusa, I wish you
say hello."
There was no wave on Medusa's calm expression: "You have been here for a long time and eavesdropped for a long time...Do humans like to do this kind of thing? Or...is this also a kind of human nature?"
The old magician was stunned for a moment. But he quickly returned to normal: "Human beings are much more complicated than you think."
Du Wei frowned: "You don't seem surprised at all to see Queen Medusa. Did you cast some magic on us? Or have you been spying on us secretly?"
"My dear children, I am not as evil as you said." The old magician smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for good luck, I might not be alive to see you. Oh, regarding your affairs, I was in the woods just now
On the other side, I met your friend Dardanelle. He told me everything."
Hussein seemed to have little patience for such pleasantries. He glared at the old magician: "Old immortal. You came too late. Where have you been these past few days? Could it be that a few high-ranking knights and magicians
.It’s already too much for you to handle?”
The old magician didn't care about the knight's bad face at all, and his tone was very serious: "Yes. I almost couldn't come back... You should understand that the temple wants to kill you and then hurry up. They... have already photographed the elders
I am a member of the group! I met several senior knights and tried to lure them away, but soon, several senior mages from the group of elders appeared. If I hadn’t hidden well, they would have almost discovered me.
Whereabouts and identity.”
"The group of elders has also been dispatched..." Hussein sneered twice, but the muscles in the corners of his eyes were beating and his laughter was not so natural.
"Your life is very valuable now." The old magician smiled: "I eavesdropped on their conversation. The temple has officially announced your identity as a traitor two days ago. The crime is: trying to assassinate the Pope and killing
Two Grand Knight Commanders. The Pope has personally decreed the temple, and you have become the most wanted criminal in the entire continent."
The knight snorted coldly.
"Hussein, I know you are a proud guy. You are not afraid of becoming the most wanted criminal in the mainland. But you must also understand that those old immortal guys in the elders are not easy to deal with!" Old Magic
The master said, gently shaking his mage robe: "Look, I met three guys, and they almost killed them together."
"You care about your feathers. You don't dare to reveal your true identity." Hussein said coldly: "I don't believe that just three guys from the elder group can kill you, an old immortal. If you fight the enemy with all your strength,
If you do, even if you are defeated, you can still escape by running away."
"My identity is still useful to us. I can't openly be an enemy of the temple now, otherwise, there will be endless pursuit." The old magician shook his head: "You need a companion who hides in secret."
Du Wei was unhappy.
He suddenly coughed hard several times. After attracting everyone's attention, Du Wei looked unhappy and looked at the two guys in front of him:
"Okay! You two are both the top strong men in the mainland! One is the first knight in the mainland! The other is the top magician! Both of you are descendants of Aragorn... You want to be the enemy of the temple! You want to inherit Aragorn.
Gong’s last wish... you are going to do big things! But..." Du Wei stared: "But what the hell does this have to do with me! Whatever you want to do, just do it! I am not a powerful person.
The knight is not a powerful magician! I am just a little nobleman, a idle little nobleman who likes to play around with gadgets! Why did you drag me into this? Especially you, you always..."
Speaking of this, Du Wei suddenly remembered the scene where the old magician used that magical magic to make him slap himself in the face. The original sentence "old immortal" came to his lips, and he quickly changed his words: "Old...
You! Why did you kidnap me all the way to this ghost place where birds don’t lay eggs? This place that can freeze a person’s nose to the ground? And you want me to go all the way north... What use am I to you?!”
silence……
After a while, Hussein also coughed, and the knight looked at the old magician with cold eyes: "This is also what I want to ask. Old immortal. You want me to take this little guy on the road, and you want me to protect him."
Looking at him, why on earth?!"
The old magician's eyes flashed, and he suddenly gently took off his pointed hat. Revealing a head of messy white hair, he arranged his hair, then poured the snow in the hat and sighed: "Okay.
, I think it’s time to answer the question.”
As he said that, the old magician looked at Hussein and then at Du Wei: "Kid, Hussein doesn't even know about this. It's about where Aragorn's power comes from. Others
I don’t know, but you know it, right? Because you’ve been to Alcatraz Island and met that old guy Chris, right?”
As he said that, the old magician suddenly raised his hand, and a wind blade shot out from his palm. The wind blade was extremely fast. Before Du Wei could recover, it had already cut off Du Wei with a crack.
The hat on Wei's head also cut off the rope tying his hair!
Du Wei let out a low cry, his hair was disheveled, and the "devil's horn" that Chris had made for him that had been hidden in his hair was exposed to everyone's eyes!
Hussein took one look and couldn't help but said with emotion: "What is this... you actually have horns on your head?! Are you not a human being?"
Du Wei glared at the old magician fiercely, and then said angrily: "Of course I am a human! As for this horn...well, it is just a thing to strengthen my magic induction. With it, I
Only then can you use magic."
The old magician looked at Du Wei with a smile, not caring about his angry eyes, and smiled softly: "Okay, my little friend, now tell Hussein what you heard about Aragorn on Alcatraz Island.
Right! I have never told him about this matter, and he doesn’t even know as much about it as you do.”
Things on Alcatraz Island are really not too complicated. To put it simply, there is a servant of the devil imprisoned there, a powerful and terrifying old guy. He is also good at making deals with the humans found on the island.
Aragorn is one of the traders. Almost all of Aragorn's powerful abilities can be considered as trading with the devil's servants.
Du Wei was already very eloquent and had personal experience, so he naturally told the story in an extremely thrilling and moving way.
Hussein was almost stunned when he heard this! This was naturally a big shock to the knight!
The old magician had already guessed the knight's reaction. After Du Wei finished speaking, he immediately said: "In fact, I have been to that island too. I have met old Chris..."
"Wait!" Du Wei frowned, doubt flashing in his eyes: "Old... you are lying! When I met Chris, he told me that the last human being who traded with him before me was
Aragorn!! After Aragorn, no one has ever traded with him!"
"Yes, what he said is absolutely right." The old magician smiled: "I did go to that island and met that bastard old Chris... He was indeed a bastard, but a cuter one.
That's it. I proposed a deal with him...but he actually refused."
"Why?" Du Wei asked in a deep voice: "He is even willing to trade with a humble boy like me. Why did he reject you? Refuse a powerful magician?"
"Because..." the old magician smiled: "He refused to give me what I asked for."
"What do you want?" Du Wei suddenly felt his heart beating faster! He had already thought of it!
He guessed what the old magician asked for!
"I ask him..." The old magician was smiling, but his smile was weird and his voice was low, with an indescribable flavor...
"...I ask him to return the heart of His Majesty Aragon! Return the 'Heart of the King'!"
