There is no one in the vast cathedral now. This place has been temporarily classified as a restricted area. Nearly a hundred swordsmen and magicians from the Holy Knights are guarding the outside. No one is allowed to enter.
At the entrance of the cathedral, Asa took out Captain Roland's sword and showed it before the two captains let him in. The Holy Knights have never been responsible for guarding martial law and other matters, and it was difficult to find a suitable Captain Roland with permission in a short time.
It was the only pass item, so Captain Roland temporarily gave Asa his sword.
Such temporary measures are indeed necessary, because the things inside are really too important at this time.
In the center of the front of the cathedral, the huge sacred and solemn statue has been moved away, and the dark mouth of the cellar next to the pedestal is open numbly, like a monster, slowly exuding the rotten breath deep in the stomach.
Asa took a deep breath and buried his head into this big dark mouth. Even though it was the first time he came in, the smell inside was really unbearable for him, but he immediately realized that it was useless, and then exhaled and inhaled the smell.
It smelled like rotten cotton. As I walked step by step along the steps, I felt a strange touch on my body, like a static wind condensed by magic elements. This was the feeling of passing through a magic barrier.
I don’t know if his senses are sharper, but when Asa passed through the magic barrier that filled the space this time, he had some weird intuitions. This magic barrier didn’t seem to be set up to protect this place, but you have to be careful to find out.
What's wrong is that he doesn't have such good basic knowledge of magic.
Going further down, the roars of the monsters that originally filled the dungeon were no longer there. Only the sound of sparks from the torches gave the silence some life. Other than that, there was only one gasping sound.
In a closed space.
The wheezing sound was loud, but it didn't give people the slightest sense of life or vitality. It seemed more like a wind-driven suitcase that was constantly beating. But this was the sound that only a person's breathing could make.
, and even heard the sound of gasping passing through the vocal cords. The sound was not painful, but Asa inexplicably felt that the hairs on his back were standing on end.
There was only the faint light of a torch on the wall in the vast dungeon. Asa walked in, and the torch in his hand immediately doubled the light in the dungeon. But even so, the light inside was really limited.
There were only two figures. One was Sandro who was sitting, and the other was Javi who was lying on the ground. The huge gasp came from Javi's mouth. Not long ago, this man was very famous. His expression was calm and unrestrained.
The cardinal, who was full of magnanimity, was now no different from a dead dog. Under the dim firelight, his face was frighteningly white compared with the dark ground next to it. His eyes were open, but no matter who it was,
At first glance, one would just think that these were just two glass beads, without any life on them. If he hadn't been breathing heavily, Asa would never have thought that he was still alive.
"I originally thought he could hold on until I stuffed his butthole, but I didn't know that would be the limit... It's a pity that my white magic is not good enough. I'm afraid I'll drive him crazy. Otherwise, it would be much more exciting."
Sandro, who was sitting on a wooden bench, kicked Javi who was on the ground. But Javi didn't react at all. There was a large pool of water on the ground, which should be his sweat.
There are no scars on Javi's body at all, but Asa knows that in the hands of a person like Sandro, it is completely meaningless whether there is blood or not. Even if a person is cut into pieces in his hands, it will not hurt.
If you can be saved intact, then how to make you feel the pain of being cut by a thousand knives without getting injured or dying is of course a big deal.
Asa looked at Javi's face that was no different from a dead person, sighed slightly and asked, "So has he done all the tricks?"
Sandro sneered and said, "I'm sorry. He said everything he could say. Otherwise, how could that boy Roland leave? But this boy is also sensible. He didn't need me to do anything. He just said what he needed to say."
He told me everything. He also knows that he can't hide anything in my hands, not even wanting to die."
"Then he's still like this?" Asa was stunned.
"Father pays his debts to his son. I couldn't catch the guy who dared to frame me, so I naturally asked him to help me take some responsibility. I know that this kid used to be very confident in his torture methods. Today I let him
He has seen what the true style of Beiya Valley is." Sandro snorted coldly as if he was still angry and said. "But this is only temporary. I will definitely go to Beiya Valley to find it when I have the chance.
I'm going to settle the score. I don't think those guys from Shante will vent their anger through the same nostrils as that kid. The best they can do is let that kid run around on his own."
When he later heard Sandru say that he almost fell into a trap and could not come back, Asa couldn't help but sweat. If that was the case, the situation in the royal capital would be doomed.
After the confrontation with the Marquis ended, he had already made up his mind to fight back. So he asked Xiao Yi to stay at the Prime Minister's Mansion and pretend that nothing had happened to confuse them, while he himself returned to the hotel.
He took out his spare mask, disguised himself, and sneaked back into the magic academy.
Only Sandro is the trump card he has always relied on. Even though this strange old man always has the stinky face of having nothing to do with it, Asa believes that he will definitely take action when it is his turn.
But after returning to the Magic Academy, he did not find Sandro in the library. Instead, he inferred from what others said that the old man had gone out for something urgent.
The cardinal's strange behavior in the cathedral. More importantly, in order to prevent the Marquis from returning, he went to inquire about the teleportation magic circle. When he found that the Marquis had not returned, he originally wanted to take the initiative to destroy the teleportation magic circle.
It turned out that the magic circle had already been destroyed. Thinking that this was related to Sandro's sudden disappearance, Ah understood that the Marquis must be trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Before he had time to understand the real meaning of this move, news came that the queen, the cardinal and the acting head of the Holy Knights had convened an emergency meeting of all the ministers. Asa knew that this meant that Javi
They were already uneasy about their whereabouts and the lack of news from the Marquis. They were ready to bring everything to a final conclusion.
Even though he knew that this was a dead end against him, he had to go. Now he is the only force in the capital that can have some slight influence on this situation.
But he also knew that he would never be able to reverse the situation. This situation must be resolved by Captain Roland or Sandro. He could vaguely feel that Sandro's hasty departure must be because of Roland, but the teleportation magic
The formation was already being destroyed, and he believed that these were undoubtedly the means to delay them, so the only way he could do now was to delay, and to delay as much as possible until they came back.
So he first thought of a way to release Talis from prison and let her wait for Javi at the Magic Academy. He tried to delay him as much as possible while he deceived Javi back. Although this method actually also
The female knight's life was put at risk, but in this critical situation, Asa couldn't even think carefully about his own safety, and he couldn't care so much.
This plan is indeed extremely dangerous, and there are too many uncertain factors in it. After Asa arrived at the dormitory, he discovered that the queen had been restrained. The white magic sealing technique surrounding her body had suppressed the dark fluctuations in her body to a minimum.
Being a vampire but being restrained in this way was even more uncomfortable than being watertight. Asa immediately understood that the queen was no longer their accomplice and had become a tool.
I don't know whether it was because there was really no way out or because he was mentally more mature. Asa seemed more calm and calm. He immediately thought of a solution. If Javi hadn't woken up halfway and turned back, the situation might have been different at that time.
There was a turning point. And even after Javi came back, he had been taking the initiative in the situation, and he actually dragged Sandro and Roland back with his own efforts.
Although Asa did try his best, the victory was ultimately attributed to a strange luck...the space scroll used by the Necromancer. If not, according to the conspiracy designed by the Marquis, Sandro is now
It's already a piece of rotten meat.
The Marquis's face, full of charm, with a charming smile and intoxicating demeanor at all times, appeared in Asa's mind again. Naturally, the conspiracies of his hands also appeared at the same time, and those strategies all made people tremble.
Vertical. Until now, he couldn't connect this person with these things. He sighed and said, "Then you also asked about the fact that his father was actually the mastermind behind the murder of the Bishop of Nice?"
"Of course I asked. But I don't know the specific method yet. I can only guess that he probably used Duke Mrak." Sandro pondered for a moment, and a light flashed in his eyes. "This guy is too dangerous. To be honest.
Yes, even I didn't expect that this guy's scheming was so deep, his methods were so vicious, and he did everything flawlessly. It seemed that everything was as he expected. If I hadn't been lucky, I might have died.
"Hmph, this is the first time in so many years that I feel that I am worried about someone, and it's not because of this guy's own strength." He snorted again, and the light in his eyes turned into a strong murderous aura. "It's amazing,
This guy..."
"Why did he do this? Have you asked?" Asa asked. He had never wanted to know the things behind these things, but in this situation, it is definitely not a bad thing to know more.
Sandro frowned instead, shook his head and said: "Hey, I can't guess this. Whether it's this guy's acting guild leader who is destined to die in my hands, or the little Vidnina...
Nizi..." At this point, he seemed to glance at Asa intentionally or unintentionally, and then buried his head and sighed. "What are they going to do? I thought that what happened twenty years ago should be almost over.
Woolen cloth……"
"Twenty years ago? What happened?" Asa was startled, then remembered something he heard a long time ago, and asked. "Twenty years ago...did Widnina become a lich and you run away?
What about Yagu? Is there anything else..."
Sandro suddenly frowned and glanced at Asa, which made Asa suddenly stop talking. This look seemed to be a little angry, but more of it was other things that were difficult to understand. But he didn't say anything, just started again
He closed his eyes and sighed heavily. The depressed and heavy sound echoed and hit in the basement for a long time.
Asa hesitated for a moment and did not speak. He knew that since Sandru didn't want to say anything, he would just be scolding him if he asked.
After a long time, Sandro opened his eyes and asked, "What's going on up there?"
"What happened above?" Asa was startled.
"Of course it's about that damned emperor and empress. There are also a bunch of ministers, the court and so on." Sandro sighed heavily again. He rarely sighed. But these two sighs were heavy and dull.
"Fuck. If those old bastards from Diya Valley who know me know that I actually bother with these things now, they will laugh their ass off."
Asa was about to speak, but he looked at Javi on the ground and hesitated. Sandro snorted coldly: "You can treat him as a dead man now, don't worry."
"Actually, there are no big things to deal with. Now that the culprit has been caught, Her Majesty the Queen has been cured by me..."
Sandro seemed to suddenly remember, pointed at Asa and asked: "How did you cure it? Tell me, don't play tricks. I don't have time to carefully examine what you are doing, but I know that no one can do it."
Turn a vampire into a human again."
Asa smiled and replied: "I only said that I cured her and restored her consciousness. But I didn't say that she turned her back into a human."
Sandro was startled: "Then you are..."
"You said it yourself, after a seed becomes a plant, it naturally cannot become a seed again. But it doesn't turn it back into a seed, it just makes it look like a seed. Is that okay?"
Sandro nodded suddenly: "Oh. Did you turn her... into another undead creature?"
"Something between a zombie and a vampire. It retains complete consciousness and the ability to move freely, but it has erased the vampire's instinct for blood and most of the substances. Now the things that keep her alive are all undead.
Magical power, whether she cultivates it by herself or someone provides it to her, can maintain her life."
Sandro nodded: "It's somewhat similar to a lich's physique, but it's much lower-level and inferior. I never thought you could come up with such a compromise and get through it."
"Because there is really no other way, so I have to make a desperate move. I am not sure of success, but fortunately I can succeed. In the future, as long as she is not exposed to things like white magic and holy water, I can keep it hidden.
.I didn’t hide this from Captain Roland and the Prime Minister, so you can rest assured that they have their arrangements.”
Although this is not a complete solution to the problem, it can be regarded as
Sandro kicked Javi on the ground and asked: "Where is this kid's accomplice? How to deal with it?"
"Well..." Asa thought for a while, frowned and shook his head. "That boy... Although Captain Roland wanted to kill him, the Queen came forward to protect him, and he did not take action with Bishop Javi at the last moment. Ministers
I also think that he was just coerced and tempted. So in the end, Captain Roland just dismissed him and exiled him."
"Aren't you going to kill him?" Sandro raised his eyebrows.
Asa sighed and shook his head: "He also has his own difficulties. Anyway, he probably can't do anything anymore. Since they have let him go, what should I pursue?"
Sandro snorted coldly and asked again: "And what about the others?"
"Others...there's nothing else. Just explaining the work slowly..."
"It seems that Roland boy is busy." Sandro nodded. His Majesty the Emperor and the leader of the Holy Knights were carried back by a necromancer using a necromancer monster, and then they killed the cardinal designated by His Majesty the Pope.
Instead, he was arrested, and then the most vicious criminal in the continent who had just kidnapped the Queen and the Prime Minister was let go and disappeared... I want to explain the whole story clearly so that everyone can accept it and know what needs to be known.
Believe what you should believe, this is by no means an easy task.
"Actually, the most difficult thing to explain is the emperor. He has witnessed your necromancy magic with his own eyes. It is impossible for him to hide it as a secret. He does not have such a deep knowledge. He will keep asking...
…”
"People named Geffenhardt have some brain problems." Sandro snorted impatiently. "Either like this one, there are two missing tendons in the head, or like that one, there are two extra tendons in the head..."
"So Captain Roland also told me the method he planned to use before he came... This was actually what His Majesty the Emperor requested after hearing about it..." Asa stopped here and looked at Sander.
Lu seemed to be hesitant. "I just want to ask if you agree..."
"What's wrong? If you fart, let it go." Sandro looked at him impatiently. "But I don't want to do anything for them. If it weren't for the fact that I still have to stay in the magic academy, I wouldn't bother to care about them."
"Of course you can continue to stay here. The emperor asked you to be his teacher... Oh, and what is that position called? Palace magician... or national preceptor?"
Sandro, who was standing evenly, suddenly swayed and almost fell down..
