Chapter 256 256. Patricide plan, the identity of the God of Order
In the next few days, no matter how quickly the Duke’s side moves the military camp, every afternoon, there will be a burst of cursed The same unbearable hunger.
This feeling of hunger prompts them to eat like crazy, eating several times the amount of food at each meal.
Of course, after Duke Olivier and Duke Nar returned to normal, they immediately sent people to investigate and dug up the entire military camp.
What is bizarre is that there are so many mages, warriors, knights, and Warcraft. Even several priests were invited, but they were completely unable to investigate what happened.
What’s even more bizarre is that except for hunger, there is no other condition at all. They can even feel that their physical strength and magic power are particularly full, which is a bit more powerful than usual.
So gradually, the two Dukes resigned themselves to it.
After all, for extraordinary people, eating more is also a good thing in a sense. Being able to absorb so much food containing nutrients and magic power will help them become stronger quickly.
The dragons can prove this.
However...
After another half month passed, the expressions of the dukes changed because the food supply was somewhat insufficient.
During this period, the food output of the Norland Kingdom was already a bit low, and the Royal Court and the Mage Association were unable to receive the food sold by Croya.
There are a bunch of extraordinary people eating and drinking, and the food is consumed faster than it is burned.
You must know that extraordinary people, especially knight warriors, require an exaggerated amount of food every day. Among them, the Nar monster even eats two hundred kilograms of meat and other magical plants, fruits and vegetables a day.
Although the magician is slightly better, he needs to eat fresh vegetables and fruits, and also requires an elegant aromatherapy environment to meditate, which is a mess.
The biggest factor limiting war has always been logistical problems, and this is no exception even in such a magical world.
Although Duke Olivier's battle mage group has more or less space magic weapons, the problem is... let noble mages use magic weapons to carry food?
Even Duke Olivier doesn't dare to issue such an order. He is a mage. Even if he can't survive here, he can always find another place to continue to enjoy the generous treatment.
Seeing that food became increasingly scarce, the two dukes finally couldn't help but get together.
They looked at each other and saw the embarrassment and embarrassment in each other's eyes. They did not expect that they would actually have to worry about food.
"This war must end."
Duke Olivier was the first to speak and set the tone: "That wall of steel has swallowed up too many people, can you bring in more people to attack? ?”
He was very sensible and did not mention the food issue. Both of them knew this, so there was no need to emphasize it many times.
Duke Nar's expression was sinister. It has been almost a month since they tried to dismantle the steel city wall using magic and brute force, but it didn't grow fast enough.
Even the Battle Mage Group and the Nar War Beast Group returned in vain - the former was beaten to death by a pile of silver wall-like grass, sunflowers and magicians; the latter was beaten by some weird bamboos And the knight was chasing him around.
The army that won by numbers was forced to withstand what seemed like endless magical blows in that long and narrow passage. There were not even a single corpse in sight, like an abyss devouring life.
This is the only first time in the war so far that they are like mice being teased by a cat, unable to do anything.
Of course, being angry is very angry, but after being angry, there is a fear like falling into an ice cellar - if Croya really wants to fight them head-on...do they really have hope?
Even if we continue to fight, how many resources will be consumed? If you really consume too much, will someone take advantage of you?
Nobles are both proud and pragmatic in certain matters.
Now Croya has used his own ability to prove that he can withstand them, and can even use some off-board moves outside of war to deal with them.
In this case, they really had to think about ending the war.
“Let the people from the Court of Arms come.” Duke Nar sighed deeply: “We recommend him to enter the Court of Arms, and there should be no problem for him to get the title of Duke.”
——The meaning behind the words is to take the title of a duke as compensation for this war.
Both of them were grand dukes during the founding period of the country. If they jointly recommended it, they would indeed be able to get a title from the Heraldry Academy and the royal family behind it.
If you can't fight, you become friends. To put it bluntly, this war was originally a war that they started out of anger after their treasure was robbed. It is not really a life-and-death battle for survival.
Duke Olivier nodded: "Okay, then send someone to Hanjiao Island to contact Croya."
"The candidates will be my son Ian and yours. Let’s go with our son Yasos, and bring some gifts to show our sincerity.”
Duke Nar nodded. He was very satisfied with his son Yasos, who was filial, smart and good-looking. Good figure, just right for this situation.
The two dukes made a decision.
...
Soon, Ian and Yasos arrived at the frontline base.
Both of them brought a lot of gifts, including precious magical artifacts, as well as magical beasts and magical plants that Croya would like. Even... Duke Narr also gave a small Narrator. you.
Rob met them.
This former Viscount, now the chief steward of Hanjiao Island, carries a majestic aura that not even the Duke can compare to.
He sat behind a simple table and stared at the two young people. He seemed to be smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"You want to end the war?" His expression was particularly contemptuous: "You initiated the war, and now you want to end it unilaterally?"
Well... Actually, if we talk about it, The reason for this matter was that Croya and Lord Yanshan wanted to get the treasure in the Ruby Cave.
But in this world, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.
Ian’s face was expressionless and he didn’t speak.
Yasos smiled particularly cheerfully. He was a full 1.9 meters tall, with thick hair and a very handsome face. If you look closely, he seemed to have freckles on his face.
Like a furry young lion.
After saluting very politely, he said: "Sir, this war has caused too many tragedies. I am very opposed to what my father did.
So..."
He suddenly took Ian's hand, with a smile on his face, but what he said was extremely shocking: "I killed your father, and you killed my father, how about that?"
Luo Bo: "..."
Cloya: "..."
Wait a minute, aren't you here to seek peace to end the war?
Why did they talk about patricide out of nowhere, and why did Yasos also know the secret of Ian’s plan to kill his father?
For a moment, even the wily Rob and the extremely keen Chloe were speechless, but they both took out milk tea and nuts, intending to see what the show was about.
Under Rob's playful gaze, Ian couldn't stand this guy anymore. He put away the other person's hand and said to Rob: "I can assure you that what he said is true."
"..." Rob almost swallowed the nuts in his hand in shock, and asked in surprise: "Are you sure?"
Patricide is neither common nor uncommon in the world of aristocrats, but this time two of them appeared. , it’s really a bit rare.
"OK." Ian nodded.
“He is the twenty-third son of Duke Nar. If he were not good-looking, the Duke would not even take him.”
“Such a vase has no family at all. "
Yasos, who was evaluated in this way, did not make any move, and still had a smile that made people feel good. It seemed that he could only smile like this.
——This is the skill he relies on for a living.
Rob stared at him, suddenly thinking of some aristocratic habits, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
After receiving Croya's order from the magic circle under the table, he said: "Well, this is what the Lord ordered me to give to you."
He took out two exquisite small bottles from the drawer of the table. The crystal clear crystal bottles had gorgeous and complex magic patterns on them, and they contained a liquid that was as blurry as the sunset and moonlight.
“This liquid is a potion called the Long Night, which was made by the lord himself. Only one drop is needed to make even a strong fifth-level warrior fall asleep.”
“My lord said, if you want You take the heads of the two dukes to end the war, and he will help you control the family."
The two crystal bottles were placed on the table, making a soft sound, and were immediately taken away by the sons of the two dukes.
The two of them said nothing more. They saluted Rob and turned away in unison, disappearing in the dim morning light.
After watching them leave, Rob couldn't help but ask Croya: "Sir, why do you want to help them?"
In the original plan, this was for them to prove themselves A necessary condition for ability, if you can't even assassinate the Duke, what's the use?
The blue cat golem standing nearby made a sound: "The potion contains the sun oil I added, which can suck the souls of the two dukes in."
It moved. He moved and looked at the clear window: "Rob, your other son and your wife are actually still alive.
The person who was once in charge of your area was Duke Olivier. They were arrested After arriving, he was secretly detained
But we are indeed still alive in this world.
Well, you have to thank me for helping you discover this secret, and you also have to thank me for beating Olivier's soul out of you~"
Pangdudupo The sound made by the cute cat was still full of alienation and calmness as when Croya came here in person.
Only the last sentence had a little uplifting joy.
Rob couldn't help it. He trembled and his eyes turned red.
He was so excited that he didn't expect that his youngest son was still alive, and even his wife was still alive. br>
……
“Your news is quite timely. "
Croya put down the tea cup, "Ms. Moira, are you really looking forward to seeing Duke Olivier's soul? ”
He stared at the beautiful woman in front of him who had changed into simple cotton clothes.
The latter nodded under his gaze: "I think about it very much, every day.
Lord Croya, you don't know how much I used to like him. He was rescued from the purgatory of the battlefield and gave me the title of Duchess.
He even ignored the royal family's attacks.
I once thought he was sent by the gods. Save my knight..." Moira's expression contained a longing for the past. If it were anyone else, she would probably wait patiently for her to finish.
However, before she could finish her words, she was rudely interrupted by Croya, "Ms. Moira, I know much more about this story than you do. I can just write a few books for you to read.
What I want to know now is..."
The mage's palm gently brushed the table beside him, belonging to the magic of space. The patterns quickly intertwined and formed, and after the white light flashed, a crystal box appeared inside.
There are white thorns inside.
Its pure white color has no room for other colors.
“…”
Uncontrollable surprise flashed across Moira’s eyes.
She stretched out her white and slender fingers, as if she wanted to touch the crystal box. When her fingers came close, the thorns inside suddenly flickered at an incredible speed.
A liquid-like white light seeped out from the thorns, like dry ice smoke activated by water, slowly filling the entire box.
"Please wait."
Cloya suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the box. His golden magic power quickly became like a thread, quickly suppressing all the smoke back to the white thorns. in.
Moira's eyes widened even more when she saw this scene.
She was in a trance.
That...
That is a divine relic of the Cester royal family.
To be able to be suppressed by a mage like this, she suddenly looked at Croya with more awe.
"Lord Croya, this is the Thorn of Justice."
"Yes."
"When you arrived, it suddenly flickered, and It seems like something is being sensed.
Can you tell me why? Is there still a way for you, the Saisien royal family, to control you, or do you think it still recognizes you? "
Now his knights? He and his apprentices have all been inoculated with the Thorn of Justice and practiced the Thorn Meditation Method—even the Thorn of Justice contains his eternal magic power!
Such a vision can still appear under such circumstances. If there is a problem with the Thorn of Justice, things will become very troublesome and difficult, so he had to come to see Moira.
If the Thorns of Justice will really be controlled by Moira...
Then he can only say sorry to Moira.
His power is something only he can control.
I don’t know if Moira noticed something from Croya’s expression. She quickly took out a necklace from her neck, handed it to Croya with both hands, and said respectfully:
“This should be the reason for its sudden mutation.”
Cloya took the necklace and observed it carefully: This is a necklace that doesn’t seem to have anything special. It was just woven with silver, and wasn't even considered a gift to the nobles.
'Strange...'
Just when Croya felt strange, the Holy Spring Crystal Card hidden in his pocket suddenly started beating rapidly, as if he had a rabbit.
Such an eager reaction is obviously a reaction to the necklace.
‘Why did it react suddenly? Is it related to the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce? ’ Croya was surprised and quietly accepted the necklace.
Then he said to Moira: "Please write down all the information about the Thorns of Justice. The information you provide will determine my attitude towards Ian."
said After that, he got up and left.
Only Moira was left in deep thought - she saw how much Croya valued the Thorns of Justice, and coupled with Robert's existence...
Could it be that Croya learned the Thorns cultivation method? ?
That is a treasure that even the royal family has long lost. It is said that the knight who is best at that practice was captured by a mage. Is Croya the apprentice of that mage?
She silently took out a piece of paper, trying hard to recall all the legends about the Thorns of Justice and record them completely.
……
The other side.
After returning to his mage tower, Croya took out the Holy Spring Crystal Card. The flashing light on it immediately stopped, and a somewhat urgent voice came from inside:
"Detection You have the magic weapon of the Semrio Continental Branch President of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. I would like to ask you if you are willing to sell it to this chamber of commerce."
"We are willing to exchange items that you are absolutely satisfied with."< br>
Chloë was slightly startled.
The magic weapon of the president of the Semrio Continental Branch of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce?
Isn’t this something related to the Thorns of Justice?
Is that branch president related to the God of Order?
He pondered for a while, and suddenly felt that this thing was a bit hot to hold in his hand, but it involved the Thorn of Justice, and he had to ask clearly.
So, he said directly to Jingka: "I want to know what the connection is between the God of Order and the branch president of Semrio Continent."
"I will use this necklace in exchange. ."
"..."
The Holy Spring Jingka was silent for a long time.
After about five minutes, the voice inside turned into an even more strange and gender-neutral voice.
“Hello, dear protoss.”
"I am the Holy Spring of Solon among the seven holy springs of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce."
This voice is obviously full of agility, completely different from the original mechanical voice like a demon, like There was really a polite gentleman communicating with him.
“Since you are fortunate enough to have obtained the relics of the president of the Semrio Continent branch, I will tell you something.”
“He is the one who was killed by everyone in Semrio Continent. The God of Order who was forcibly buried in the World Tree by the Holy Spirit Gods"
Well...how to put it, Croya had considered this possibility before, so he was only briefly surprised and did not react.
There is even a sense of relief that "it is true".
The voice of Solon's Holy Spring continued to sound: "We have tried hard to bring all the contracts of Semrio Continent into the business scope of the Chamber of Commerce.
But unfortunately, we failed in the end.
He was buried in the World Tree, and became the nutrient that maintains the operation of the basic laws of the Semrio continent.
This may be the only proof of his existence. It is the only way to mourn Him.
If you are willing to give it to us, I am willing to provide you with a road that can leave the continent of Semrio at any time.
No matter when and where you are, no matter how much stuff you have to bring, no matter if someone wants to stop you.
As long as you ask us, we will immediately take you and everything you have away from the continent of Semrio. "
This overweight is really not low. Croya learned from Angel before that the only way to leave Semrio Continent is through Star Town.
Now there is another road in front of him.
He is really moved. No matter how good the treasure is, it is not as good as this road that can enter the vast star realm.
What's more, this is still a place. It can be used as a trump card to save your life.
If it doesn't work, just take your Hanjiao Island and run with him!
He opened his mouth and asked the last question.
"I. Wondering about the connection between the Thorn of Justice and the God of Order. ”
Solon Holy Spring replied: "That is the creation of World Tree. Although He was buried in World Tree, the laws he carried still affected World Tree.
World Tree worked hard to bring Semrio continent to the world. The law signed by the creatures serves as an anchor to assimilate the power of this law. Once the contract of the Temple of Order is used, it cannot escape the control of the World Tree
Unless there is a more special power that can replace this power.
But please don’t worry, we have not sensed the order of the World Tree in Semrio Continent in you.”
Hearing this, Croya was thankful that it was okay. He had already assimilated the Just Contract with eternal magic power, otherwise he and his men would not be able to leave this world.
Thinking of this, he simply threw the necklace into the spring formed by the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.
“Plop~”
The small silver necklace sank into the holy spring.
"Here you go, there is no use for me to hold this thing."
The voice of Solon's Holy Spring brought a touch of joy.
"Thank you."
"I will give you a small gift, please accept it."
"I hope you can continue to cooperate with us."
The moment the blue light of the holy spring went out, a shining, clear starlight, a small meteor flew out from it.
It exudes eternal starlight, that clear and mysterious blue, like the ultimate in legendary magic.
Light from the star realm.
The astral body engraving technique took effect immediately, and its name was dedicatedly marked -
Star of Astraeus.
