Chapter 33 The Hall of Mirrors (4)

The royal city guards who arrived quickly cleared the civilians out of this area, and the streets that were originally crowded and crowded immediately became empty.

The hanging door as thick as the city wall has been put down, and Claudia has only two choices: break through the encirclement composed of the Knight of Dawn, the Guards of the Royal City, the Cobwebs, and the Shadow Thorns, and break through the magic crossbow laid on the city wall.

No matter which one is alive, Claudia is more willing to choose the first one. At least, she still has a chance. Since its establishment, no one has been able to cross over them alive.

Holding two steel daggers in the back hand, her dark red eyes staring at the deputy commander directly in front of her. Compared to the mesh that is also proficient in close combat, Claudia is more afraid of Naham. The Dawn Knight in the morning light not only has a high defense, but also can use magical techniques to assist in healing, which can just restrain her fighting style.

"It's been a long time since we met, Deputy Commander Neham." Claudia said loudly, and she could not weaken her momentum no matter what.

"It's not your style to resist stubbornly, Claudia." Neham raised his hand, and a ray of holy light fell from the sky, and after it fell into his palm, it turned into a light blade that was almost as high as him.

Never give up until the last moment is the night elf's style of doing things, and Claudia doesn't plan to surrender now.

Mesh did not intend to give up the credit for Claudia for nothing. He exchanged glances with Lucas, the president of the Shadow Thorn, and took out a magic scroll with a dark barrier. Although the range was small, less than ten meters, it was enough for assassins of their level.

The moment the scroll unfolded, the three of them moved at the same time. Claudia danced the dagger tightly and blocked the mesh from the frontal attack. The sound of metallic attacks in the dark led the lurking Lucas behind Claudia, and pulled off the cloak that was worn to cover up. Claudia threw it back and interfered with Lucas' sneak attack. The thin and light daggers were coming and going. Relying on the advantage of race, Claudia's movements were a second or two faster than the other two, and the fatal attacks were rubbed against the skin every time.

"Enough!" With Neham's shout, the holy light of the morning light penetrated the darkness. The effect of the barrier was lifted, and the three people who were fighting each other immediately separated.

"Princess Franny has applied for assistance from the church. No matter what personal grudges you have, this woman must be handed over to me."

Mesh and Lucas did not answer, Neham took a step forward, and invisible pressure spread around.

Claudia held the dagger back and made an action that no one expected. She stabbed the dagger with deadly venom into her chest, and then she fell to her knees on the stone slabs on the street.

Suicide? Mesh and Lucas looked at each other again. Claudia, who they knew, was not like someone who could do such things.

Neham hurried forward, trying to use the poison-relieving technique to save Claudia's name. She couldn't die. The church also wanted to pry out the night elves from her mouth, and some hidden spies.

Just as Neham was about to meet Claudia, a black light burst out from her chest. Unlike the dark barrier just now, this light contained extremely powerful divine power. Neham was too close to it and there were mesh and Lucas nearby. He made a quick decision and shouted the name of dawn.

The collision of two forces destroyed the entire block. After the impact, the streets were like strong winds passing by, without a complete building, mesh and Lucas climbed out from under the broken bricks and tiles. Even with the protection of the morning light, they were still slightly injured.

Neham was the last one to get up. Although he got close, he had divine power to protect his body, but he was unscathed.

Because the spider web was once a member of the Natural Alliance, its relationship with the Morning Light Sect is not as bad as the assassination organization Shadow Thorn. Mesh asks Neham what happened just now?

"It's the gift of the night." Neham was covered in dust. He also sucked in a lot of it from his mouth and nose. He didn't want to say much, but only talked about Claudia's use of the advanced magic that the goddess of the night gave to his loyal believers. It was extremely destructive. If he did not use the protection of the morning light in time to fight against it, not only this street, but the entire block would be destroyed.

"She ran away?" Netizen had already had a result in his heart, but he still couldn't help asking.

"It shouldn't be dead yet." Neham waved at the members of the Knights and signaled to withdraw the team.

Looking at the Knights evacuated with great strides, Lucas, who had not spoken, spat and cursed with disdain, "This kid doesn't like it no matter how he looks."

They belong to different organizations but serve as a god's mesh comfort. "He is the next leader of the group. After the camp changes, we must deal with him."

"If that woman escapes, how can we explain to Malik?" Lucas looked around and didn't catch him. Several of his subordinates were killed by Claudia. Unexpectedly, the woman had left the battlefield for so many years and her skills did not regress.

The net sighed, he didn't have much hope for this encirclement.

The crisis in the deep palace was no less than the battlefield. Claudia's last move was something he had not expected. It was the time to use people, and Malik should not punish them.

"I hope so." After muttering about the failed task, Lucas, who was very delicate, asked the net about the transaction conditions for Claudia to ask him for help. "To be honest, what conditions does that woman give you? Let's dare to offend the royal family and help?"

The mesh glanced at Lucas. The young president of the Shadow Thorn was like an indifferent gangster on weekdays. He only showed his extraordinary side when performing a mission, just like a poisonous snake that was ambushed and hunted, and he would never show his teeth until the critical moment.

"Tell me, I won't reveal it to the third person." Lucas put his hand in his ear and compared it to a listening action. If both parties were not afraid of their close-up character, he really wanted to pat his shoulder and tease the mesh like an ordinary person.

"She used Doyle's life experience as an exchange." Anyway, the secret will be sold after replacing it, and they are all believers who believe in Malik. She shared with Lucas with a generous look that Claudia only told half of it.

"Doyle?" Lucas looked back at the Cavaliers who were about to disappear on the street corner. "I remember it seemed like it was the little follower of Neham?"

Mesh nodded, and Lucas tweeted, "Isn't it the heir of the territory family who has been in trouble recently?"

Today, Lucas, like the others in Xindu, watched the supposedly top secret meeting of the Mirror Hall through the projector that Malik asked to place. Krenberg, known as the Eastern Territory, is the largest princely lord in the United Kingdom. Not only is there a rich variety of minerals hidden underground, but it is also the location of the Pillar of Wind. In the past six months, Shadow Thorn has received many orders there.

"That's right, two months ago, Doyle and the great priest set off from Xindu and secretly went to Krenberg. I thought he would become the new Lord Krenberg, but I didn't expect that the minstrel who would eventually ascend to the Duke would be the bard who walked with the Son of Nature." The task of cleaning the endgame was thrown to the guards of the royal city, and the mesh and Lucas returned to their underground headquarters together.

The situation changes too quickly and is unpredictable, just like Malik suddenly decides to change the camp. This is a good thing for the spider web. Because of the camp, the Chenxi Sect has been secretly suppressing the spider web. If they hadn't also needed intelligence, the spider web would not have gained a foothold in Xindu.

"Actually, the princess secretly sent someone to contact the Shadow Thorn to inquire whether she could secretly get rid of the Son of Nature." Lucas's laughter spread in the dark and empty underground space. "It's so funny. She didn't dare to come forward, so she wanted to push me out as a scapegoat. In order to belittle the image of the Son of Nature, hundreds of years ago, the nobles spread among the people that the Son of Nature are monsters who can eat raw meat and drink blood. Nowadays, civilians only think that the Son of Nature is a voter who can transform. They don't know how powerful the Son of Nature is."

"Indeed..." Mesh nodded in line with it. Although Link did not show any power at the Mirror Hall meeting. But the attitude of the Sage Bud is enough to show that Hornheim is unwilling to offend him. He even gave up the imperial royal family that he had been taking care of. And...

“And what?”

"Don't you think that person's way of thinking is a bit unique?" Netizen was impressed by what Link said about 'food', and the survival of the weak is a true portrayal of their profession.

"It's quite a taste for me." Lucas said without hesitation that he likes the style of the son of nature. "Compared with the nobles who only know how to eat the common people, I would rather ruler be such a person."

"Don't joke, if he had changed his identity with the princess, the royal family would have long been destroyed." Netizens did not agree with Lucas's point of view. Although the thinking of the Son of Nature was novel, it was based on his own strength. If that person was an ant at the bottom like them, it would never have been possible to say such unrealistic words.

"It's a pity that the son of nature's precepts do not allow military participation in politics, but I think this decadent empire will not last long." When the split crossroads were approaching, Lucas did not forget to inquire about the original purpose. "You haven't told me what exactly Claudia is using to exchange for her to send her out of the city?"

The mesh figure was hidden in the darkness, leaving only an echo that shocked all members of the Shadow Thorn.

"She said Doyle was the new possession medium prepared by Lich King Shuanghan for herself."

Just when mentioning this name, Lucas felt chill all over.

New container... It seems that there are some unknown inside stories about this matter.

He shouted to the mesh that had already walked away: "Are you going to investigate this?"

"My motto is not to do anything beyond my ability, I haven't lived enough."

The headquarters of the Chenxi Sect in Xindu is the former Aiden branch expanded after the invasion of the undead. The storm sea rose, flooding the original thousand-year history and buried the Great Hall of the sages of all generations. The great priest at that time had to temporarily move the headquarters to the relatively safe Aiden City, but he did not expect that he could not go back after this migration.

Over the past forty years, apart from the necessary expansion, neither of the two supreme leaders did much repairs. Not only them, but the entire sect dreamed that one day they could defeat the Immortal Empire and move their headquarters back to the Great Hall.

Neham walked in the corridor leading to the dormitory of the Great Master. Like Doyle, he was also a nobleman. As the second son who had no inheritance rights, he voluntarily joined the Morning Sect and became a devout believer. His family was not as advanced as before and still belonged to the category of great nobles. In recent decades, it has once again attracted the attention of the world because of a sage.

"Sacrifice to the chief." Neham knocked on the wooden door, and then a reply to let him in came out.

"What's the result of assisting the Royal City Guards to capture Claudia?"

"My subordinates are incompetent, so let her escape." Neham half-kneeled on the ground and asked for punishment.

Feeling the remaining divine power fluctuations in the night, Francesca could roughly guess what happened and let him get up and reply. However, Neham still knelt on the ground, "Sacrifice, I have a reluctant request."

As a predecessor who was promoted from the position of Knight Captain, Francesca knew what Neham's request was, and he must have applied to punish the apostate knight Doyle. As the strongest combat power of the Morning Light Sect, the Dawn Knight will never allow traitors. Because Doyle's special identity, he specially chose two mentors for the half-demon who hides his gender. One was Alicina, the great priest who was both a woman, who took care of her food, clothing, and accommodation. The other was Neham, who was kneeling in front of him, originally wanted him, who was of the same origin, to guide Doyle on the right path, but unfortunately... no matter how he arranged the plan, things still went to the established track of fate.

A month ago, the immortal flame symbolizing Doyle's faith was extinguished in the Holy Church. When the priest on duty came to report, Neham happened to be present. He volunteered to capture the traitor who betrayed his faith, but Francesca did not agree. Chenxi had already personally put a seal, and the message sent back by the priest was all right. Natural son Link broke the conspiracy of Shuanghan and prevented Doyle from falling completely.

Francesca thinks it's good. Doyle is a half-demon after all, and is not suitable for staying in the sect. Just concealing her identity has taken some effort. Especially now that Shuanghan has appeared, this secret cannot be hidden. It's just...

Looking at Neham who was kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, Francesca shook her head. This man was too straight and would never allow any flaws. As one of the few people in the church who knew Doyle's background, Neham did not support the placement of a half demon at the headquarters. Alicena held an important position and could not continue to follow Doyle to monitor her. Since Neham insisted, it would be better to use this opportunity to let him go outside to experience it in the name of surveillance.

Neham is not only the Cavaliers designated by Francesca. He hopes that this future successor he is optimistic about can be more sleek and enlightened. The great priest said that the Son of Nature has a unique mind and acts in a straightforward manner. After living with such a person for a long time, it may change Neham's stern personality. Besides, there should be a believer in the Dawn Light around the Son of Nature to prevent him from making mistakes.

"All right."

Neham raised his head, unable to believe that the priest actually agreed to his request.

"I allow you to temporarily step down from the position of deputy commander and go out to practice and hone your will and skills."

"But Chief, I'm not..." Before he finished speaking, Neham was stopped.

"Although she has been sealed again, she is a descendant of the Abyss Demon Dragon after all, and Shuanghan will not stop here. You replace the great priest in the name of cultivation and monitor Doyle and the son of nature."

Neham doesn't understand why he should monitor with the Son of Nature?

"Although Link has not done anything out of the ordinary so far, no one can guarantee that he will not become the second god of death." This is exactly what Francesca is most worried about. The son of nature, who has the power of the four pillars, has few rivals in the material world. If he has evil thoughts, even if the pillar revokes his qualifications, the destiny spirit and soul energy he has obtained cannot be recovered. Even if he can achieve the final victory, he will pay an extremely painful price.

Francesca sent Neham to Link just to monitor Link's every move nearby.

Understanding the intention of the priest, Neham stood up and took off the ribbon of the deputy commander, "I will definitely live up to your instructions."

Alas... This serious personality really should be changed. Francesca shook his head when watching Neham leave.

Kelly is a traditional son of nature and has no interest in human internal affairs. What she cares most about now is how to absorb believers.

Because it was the area of ​​the Pillars of Wind and the rooftop was not decorated too much, Kelly transported a huge stone from the nearby hills with the body of the Falcon, carved a statue of Gasos, and built some pillars with wood to provide the Falcon druid with rest.

Because his faith has been restored, Link no longer has to hurry up as he did before, and some time has progressed step by step. When Kelli led the Druid to build the temple, he devoted most of his energy to formulating detailed rules, and only had very little time to improve his strength.

After experiencing a forbidden magic, Doyle began to force Link to practice a fighting method without divine power. This made him feel that he was back in the game illusion and learned skills from pure physics to deal with the special situation where he could not use divine magic.

The speech of the Hall of Mirrors really inspired the civilians of Wolland who were rescued by Link. With the idea of ​​giving it a try, the first group of believers after the founding of the Natural Sect. The collected beliefs were directly devoted to the restoration of the land corrupted by the undead. The farmers were delighted to find that the dealer who thought he was going to be out of stock had regained his vitality, and even the withered hills were quickly covered with vegetation. The news was conveyed through the spider web, and many people from Kabaiel and Esson's territory fled to Krenberg with their families. They had had enough of the days of being oppressed by the undead and the nobles.

In just one month, a large number of refugees poured in, which gave Orlando, who had just become the lord, a headache. Krenberg's current population was already enough. So many people came at once, where could he have redundant places to settle? Even if there was still a lot of vacant land, they were all wasteland without any infrastructure.

In order to leave people with the handle of the wood elves secretly manipulating Krenberg, the Elf King set off for the royal court after the Mirror Hall meeting. Helpless Orlando could only ask Link for his experience in governance, which made Link laugh and he couldn't do it either.
