Twelve Movements of Twilight Volume 12 Breaking the Law(1/2)
Chapter 12 Break the Law of the Twelve Moves of Dusk
The carriage was moving slowly, and the crisp sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels echoed on the wide and empty streets.
It was late at night, and ordinary people had already fallen asleep. Lead clouds in the sky accumulated, and it seemed that tomorrow would be heavy snow. This winter, Richelieu was unexpectedly cold. Before the New Year, the rivers in the city were already frozen. There were many hot springs underground in Richelieu, and the earth was extremely warm, so the rivers in the city would be frozen only in the coldest days every year. Originally, the weather in the north has been getting warmer year by year, but this year it has become more colder.
Although the Silver Holy Sect has already begun to decline, the family foundation accumulated over hundreds of years is still strong. The Ice and Snow Temple is still one of the most magnificent buildings in the imperial capital. The main hall, which is fifty meters high, is surrounded by more than ten magic fountains. However, the fountain is not sprayed with water, but with a dazzling white light. Under the reflection of the magic fountain, the Ice and Snow Temple is bathed in white light, which is particularly eye-catching under the night sky.
Roger slowly stretched his hand high, and the sharp claws that were poking out from his fingertips quietly inserted into the extremely hard snow-formed rock. With a slight force, his body rose lightly for a meter.
At this time, the voice came, and Roger looked down, and a team of patrolling ice and snow warriors were passing by below. However, none of these warriors looked at the brightly illuminated temple of the Ice and Snow Temple. If you looked, you might find that Roger had not performed invisibility.
The fat man smiled slightly, continued to climb upwards, and soon climbed to the top of the Ice and Snow Temple, and then disappeared into the bell tower. The ground door of the bell tower was locked. There were also several very clever magic traps on the door, and even experienced magic thieves may not be able to unlock it.
However, Roger chose to enter here and had his own ideas. He put his hands on the ground and began to force it. His hands gradually dived into the granite ground. In a moment, Roger had already dug a big hole in the ground and jumped to the spiral ladder on the next floor.
He moved silently in the Great Ice and Snow Temple. At this time, most priests and mages had left the temple and went back to rest. However, occasionally a few pious and late-returning priests were still walking in the temple.
Roger was not familiar with the structure of the Great Ice and Snow Temple. But in those silver eyes, there was a bright lighthouse guiding him.
Roger felt that in the corridor across the front, two ice and snow mages were coming on their own. A statue of the ice and snow goddess next to him stood behind and restrained the breath of his whole body. At this moment, his figure was faintly visible, but the breath had completely dissolved into the surrounding environment. Even if it was seen, it was very likely that it was mistakenly thought to be a relief on the wall.
Two ice and snow mages walked over and talked in a low voice.
"Lyra has only been a high-level mage for three days, and she is so arrogant! I just asked her what the oracle of the Ice and Snow Goddess this time, but she actually said that it was the highest secret. Can't reveal it! Humph, what! Isn't it just that the magic power is a little higher than mine?" The female mage complained.
"That's it! She might really treat herself as the designated divine servant of the Ice and Snow Goddess, as cold as ice. Besides, her magic is a bit stronger, but looking at her flat figure, how can she compare with you?" The male mage's voice exuded a bit of yin smell.
"Her face looks pretty good. Are you interested in her?" The female mage was a little jealous.
"How is it possible? Or you have a lot of flavor!"
At this time, they happened to pass by Roger, and they did not notice the fat man standing in the corridor next to them. The male mage seemed to be focusing all on the hand that was rubbing the female mage's butt. From Roger's perspective, the female mage was tall, with long legs and round buttocks, and her body was indeed very annoying.
"The goddess has frequently shown miracles recently and has dropped oracles twice. Even I feel that the control of ice and snow magic has been much easier recently. I think your magic will increase soon." The male mage comforted.
"What's the use? Layla's benefit must be more!" The female mage's complaints went all the way.
"The Goddess of Ice and Snow actually lowered the oracle twice? I remember that note wrong!" Roger frowned. He flashed out from behind the statue and continued to move towards the target.
Roger's lighthouse is located at the back of the temple, in the magic library of the Silver Holy Church.
The library was brightly lit. Several rows of bookshelves were placed with a wide variety of magic books. Various magic auras emitted from the books were mixed together and floated around in the air.
Rockefeller was sitting at the gorgeous pineapple wooden desk and was carefully studying the magic notes in front of him. The great magician who wrote this note was his friend of his youth and was very talented. He always believed that studying the goddess himself was more important than studying ice and snow magic. Therefore, although his magic power was not as good as Rockefeller, his insights in many fields were much deeper.
At this moment, the notes were placed in front of me, but the old friend had passed away, which made Rockefeller sigh. But what he didn't know was that this note was a relic of the old friend and a lighthouse for Roger.
At some point in the library, snowflakes suddenly fell!
Rockefeller looked up and was stunned to see Roger's figure emerging from nothingness in the heavy snow. The fat man held a dagger in his hand and his face was ferocious, and he was only more than ten meters away from Rockefeller.
At this time, Roger was extremely shocked and just stared at Rockefeller behind him!
Behind the great magician stood a five-meter-high statue of the ice and snow goddess. At this moment, a strong white light lit up in the statue's eyes, and the whole body was filled with cold air. In an instant, the goddess' statue seemed to have gained life, looking down at Rog coldly!
At this moment, Roger suddenly felt alone on an endless ice field, with heavy snow flying in the sky and glaciers under his feet. Between the heavens and the earth, there were cold eyes hanging high, which were a pair of high and unworldly eyes.
Roger began to tremble. He wanted to kneel down, crawl on the ground, expressing his humility and surrender. His body began to numb, not only because of the sudden temperature falling around him, but also because of his majesty.
It is the majesty of the earth! The majesty that fills the heaven and earth! It only belongs to the majesty of God!
At this moment, Roger already knew that what he saw was God's eyes!
How can ordinary people stand before the true god? How many people choose to stand?
Roger shook, finally fell to the ground, then leaned down and leaned down toward the eyes of the gods in the sky.
Rockefeller had already thought that he would die when he was bullied by Roger so far. But when the snow fell, Roger stood still in place. Then he swayed and knelt down. He suddenly turned around, looked at the statue of the Ice and Snow Statue in surprise and joy, and burst into tears for a moment!
Miracle! How many years have he waited, and how many years have he persisted in the darkness, before he could wait for the Miracle Goddess to reappear for one day?
Rockefeller trembled and knelt down.
There are two mages in the library who are studying ice and snow magic, and they all fall to the ground and tremble under the divine power.
Sudden!
Roger suddenly raised his head, and the silver light in his eyes instantly pierced the heavy snow and ice fields! He roared, rushed forward with great force, then waved his hand and threw it out, the dagger in his hand roared out, sank from Rockefeller's left shoulder, and flew out from his right rib!
The goddess was obviously furious at this rude offense. Her lips opened slightly and she exhaled a cold wind!
Wherever the ice breath passes, all activities have lost their power.
Roger was instantly frozen in a flying posture, rolling endlessly until he smashed Rockefeller's luxurious desk! He could not feel the chill at all, only numbness! The numb feeling spread rapidly, and in a moment it reached Roger's chest.
He knew that the numb feeling was the result of the body being completely swallowed by the cold. And under the cold air from God, he could not even escape his soul! He could even see that the parts that could still move in his body stopped one by one and condensed into ice!
Just as Rogue was about to exert all his soul power to send out his last blow, the ball of natural goddess divine power that was always dormant in his body suddenly rotated sharply. The bright green, full of life-filled breath of life, instantly expanded to all parts of Rogue's body, wrapping up the cold divine power layer by layer. The surrounding ice cold divine power suddenly vibrated sharply, but the bright green was like water encountering a sponge, slowly but firmly invading the inside of the ice cold divine power, completely dyeing it green from the inside out!
The moment before the ice-cold divine power was completely turned green, Roger seemed to hear a shrill cry, like a creature wailing the last before being swallowed by a natural enemy!
In the blink of an eye, although Roger was still unable to move, the cold that invaded his body had been completely swallowed up by the divine power of the goddess of nature. The green blew a few times, as if he was still patrolling for any other prey. After the search failed, it swept back like a tide, curled up in the depths of Roger's soul, as if he was sleeping in fullness.
Roger suddenly felt a little creepy!
The statue of the Ice and Snow Goddess was extremely surprised and angry that Roger, the blasphemer, was not dead yet. She actually lowered her head slowly and opened her lips to Roger!
With a scream, a huge velvet blanket suddenly fell from the ceiling, covering the entire statue of God. The statue of God blew all its ice on the velvet blanket. The scarlet velvet blanket quickly faded away all its colors, and then with a bang, it turned into a tumbler of ashes.
Another large bucket of sticky paint was poured in the air, completely covering the upper body of the goddess's statue, and the god's eyes disappeared. The flying snow in the library became sparse for a moment.
Roger immediately found that he had recovered his ability to move. He stepped back in an instant, but instead of running away, he grabbed the ice and snow mage still kneeling on the ground and threw him hard towards the head of the goddess statue! The fat man didn't even look at the result. He appeared behind another ice and snow mage like a ghost, kicked her hard on the buttocks, and kicked her to the head of the goddess statue! Roger found that as long as he blocked the eyes of the goddess statue, the divine power of the ice and snow goddess would be unable to be emitted.
But his movements were still a little slower.
The black demon lotus emerged from behind the goddess statue. Vina held the throat of the statue with her right hand, pressed her left elbow against the back of the statue, and then suddenly exerted force. An invisible shock wave swept across the entire library at an indescribable high speed. Roger's chest was involuntarily rushed backwards as if he was hit hard.
With a light click, the head of the goddess's statue was broken by Vina and rolled to the ground! Vina then raised her hands high, and the Dragon Soul Gun appeared between her hands. She shouted and stabbed the Dragon Soul Gun into the body of the goddess who had lost her head!
A faint gray shadow fell on the roof of the church ground. It turned out to be Sius. He did not say a word, pulled out a thin sword, and the sword lights crisscrossed, instantly cutting the head of the goddess statue on the ground into dozens of small pieces.
"Go away!" Seus shouted, stretched out his hand, but there was a wall of the library on his finger. Roger knew that the wall was the outer wall of the Great Temple, so he didn't say a word. A silver ripples condensed in his palm and rushed towards the wall over there!
Roger rushed to the wall, pressed his hands against the wall, shouted loudly, and a strong silver light burst out from his palm! With the rumbling sound, the outer wall made of giant rocks was made of two meters thick and he made a big hole! Roger then tightened his heart, and had been picked up by Seus, and fled to the temple like a cloud and fog.
"Wait!" Roger suddenly remembered that Feng Yue was still in the Ice and Snow Temple.
Xius seemed to know what he was thinking, but said, "Mr. Fengyue ran much faster than you! If you don't believe me, look!"
Roger looked up and saw the demon lotus flashing in the distance, and then disappeared into the night sky. At this time, Seus relaxed his hand and put Roger on the ground. So the two foxes, one old and one young, flee to Roger's mansion like meteors flying towards Roger's mansion.
"Oh no!" The two stopped almost at the same time.
"The soul-eating dagger is still in the temple!" Roger was extremely heartbroken. After all, that dagger could barely be classified as a magical weapon.
Sius regretted something else: "Forgot to set a fire!"
They looked back at the bright ice and snow temple under the night sky and sighed. The Ice and Snow Goddess had already shown the living miracle, and returning to the place where the power of faith is condensed by the Ice and Snow Temple is tantamount to seeking death.
Why did the goddess of ice and snow suddenly become so active? Rogue only felt gloomy in his heart. Originally, the Holy Sect of Silver was already shaky, and Rogue was only thinking about how to destroy it without causing trouble for himself. But now everything is different. Although Rockefeller is dead, an active goddess is enough to match several great magicians!
But when Rogge returned to the mansion and saw the team of soldiers ready to go, and Fuloya, who was covered with magic equipment and had more than ten magic scrolls on her waist, her heart warmed up and she temporarily left all her worries behind her.
The next morning, Rogge packed up his appearance and went to the palace to meet the emperor.
At this Tian Dynasty meeting, all the ministers of the Empire were present. First of all, the Emperor commended the military achievements of Rogge. But Rogge had already reached the end and the territory was as large as the entire principality. There was nothing to reward. Therefore, the Emperor made an exception and allowed Rogge to add dragon patterns to his emblem, so that the fat emblem represented the dragon and lion patterns of the imperial family would be all.
This is the supreme glory. When the award was issued, Roger looked shocked and all the officials were also in an uproar!
It’s just that the fat man pretended to be flattered and grateful on the surface, but he actually disagreed. Roger was not interested in whether his descendants could enjoy wealth and honor forever in the Aslofik Empire. In this turbulent era, even if he was as powerful as Aslofik, he didn’t know how many years he could survive in the world.
In the chaotic times, Roger was only interested in two things, one was the army and the other was gold coins. Unfortunately, neither of these two emperors gave him, and he didn't know whether the emperor really cherished him, was determined to share the glory of the imperial family with him, or was too smart, and was willing to gently eliminate Roger's reward with flashy things.
Roger had already received guidance before seeing the emperor, so he took advantage of the situation to ask the emperor to consider going to the free city-state of Hailar in order to complete his unparalleled achievements in seizing the seaport. Roger also proposed that this expedition should be inevitable. Considering that the Dwarf Empire in the Western Front of the Empire had been severely damaged, and the surviving dwarves were no more than ten of them at their peak, so there was no need to stay in so many troops. The main force of the Ice River Legion could be transferred to the southeast front, and the vanguard was commanded by Pompei, and the central army was commanded by the Emperor and Alexander. The imperial army could not only capture Hailar, but also completely occupy the western coast of the Longines Sea.
After Roger finished speaking, Alexander's face looked a little better.
If the imperial army can successfully occupy the Aegean Sea, then there will be only a primeval forest hundreds of kilometers wide between the vanguard and the border of the Dro Empire, one of the three empires. Roger also made a plan to make a big fire when the wind is dry and things are dry, and then it will take a month to burn a passage out of the forest.
The emperor's face was flushed. Although he did not make a decision on the spot, he smiled very happily.
The next thing is that the Silver Holy Sect reported that the Great Ice and Snow Temple was attacked last night, and Master Rockefeller was assassinated. Emperor Feuerbach obviously did not know the news yet, and was extremely furious when he heard this.
Rockefeller's snowstorm magic was extremely powerful when it cooperated with the Imperial Army, especially the Sea Gods Legion. Judging from the ground role played on the battlefield alone, he even played a greater role than the combined effect of the three great magicians. At this moment, when the Imperial Army was about to fight south, Rockefeller suddenly died. How could this not make the emperor angry?
The Silver Holy Sect was standing in the court with the magician Jima. Roger snatched her and found that her magical power had basically been restored. It seemed that after the Ice and Snow Goddess restored the miracle, she, the divine magician, had indeed gained a lot. The fat man thought Jima was already a waste, so he only set his target on Rockefeller, and he couldn't help but regret it very much at this moment.
The Earth-Ice Snow Mage behind Jima's life held a brocade box. After the lid was opened, there was a dagger that exuded a irritating feeling. It was the soul-eating dagger that Roger lost.
"Is this?" the emperor asked in confusion as he looked at the dagger.
"This is the murder weapon to kill Master Rockefeller and the soul-eating dagger!" said Master Jima.
An old man with long robe walked up behind the emperor and whispered in the emperor's ear for a while. Although Rogge was mentally prepared, he was still a little guilty. While maintaining a humble and indifferent expression, he stretched his ears and eavesdropped. He heard that he was explaining the function and source of the Soul-eating Dagger. It seemed that this was a learned wizard.
There are very few magical artifacts in the world. Although the Soul-eating Dagger is not powerful, it is famous for its evil abilities. There are countless powerful people in the empire. At least Master Jima of the Silver Holy Sect knew that the Soul-eating Dagger fell into the hands of the Great Druid in the South.
So everything was explained reasonably. Druid, who failed to rebel, was unwilling to fail, and came back to assassinate Master Rockefeller of the Holy Church. Next, it was natural to want Druid throughout the empire.
The situation turned sharply and fell, and Roger was unexpected. The response plan he had prepared was not enough to use, so he successfully achieved the ideal goal. However, he used a magical dagger to defeat Druid. He was still very heartbroken.
Even the fat man himself felt that the ending was so coincidental, was there some big demon who took a fancy to him again, or the God of Darkness gave him favor? However, when he thought of the miracle of the Goddess of Ice and Snow and the strange changes in the wrath of the Goddess of Nature, he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
After the court meeting, a large number of local officials began to sign Roger, hoping to visit the invincible Prince Roger, taking up his precious minutes to listen to his teachings. What surprised Roger was that there were many important imperial officials who held great power. Many famous imperial capital also expressed their intention to visit with their daughters or nieces. It would be even better if Lord Roger was willing to accept the invitation to a private banquet.
