Chapter 85: Rudolf II
Sophia's call was extremely complicated. She was afraid that her conspiracy would cause thunder to be furious, so she subconsciously prayed for the wrong judgment, and strongly hoped that it would be true, hoping that her father could rescue herself from this hateful magician, no longer had to worry about being killed and silenced, and no longer be a dangerous and painful "experimental assistant".
"Bayer" turned to look at her and nodded slightly: "All conspiracies must be based on strength. Do you understand this now?"
He is actually the Emperor Rudolph II of the Empire, the legendary powerhouse who is not inferior to the great arcane!
But his body was clearly from Byer, so how could he hide it from Nuremberg and other Sky Knights to check? Could it be that he also has a transformed mask?
And his current aura doesn't seem like a legendary feeling?
In any case, facing a legend, Lucien was unprecedentedly nervous, with hormones being secreted wildly, his body trembling slightly, and his brain became more and more awake. His right hand, which reached into the storage bag, pulled out bit by bit.
Rudolf II glanced at Lucien, continued to stare at the statue, and said in a self-deprecating way to the air ahead: "I didn't notice that there was another high-level magician who was surviving in. Your disguise ability is very good, good."
Seeing that although his attitude was arrogant and arrogant, he was not aggressive and was about to take action, Lucien did not want to attack rashly. While being highly alert, he tried to calm his voice: "I didn't find you, Emperor, either."
"I started here and stepped into the unprecedented peak of the God-Following Family. Naturally, I have to find some time to come back and observe what is hidden in the Gorgeous Family to determine the direction in the future. Unexpectedly, you, who appeared inexplicably, surprised me." Rudolph II straightened his back and put his hands behind him. His eyes were straightened to the statue of Thanos in front of him, and said frankly, as if nothing needs to be afraid of, and no secrets are worth hiding.
Lucien is not as relaxed and comfortable as he is. His nervousness and fear make his muscles sore. He finally maintains a good condition and can cope with changes that occur at any time.
When Lucien heard Rudolph II say this, he was shocked: "Emperor, you have also been promoted to the legend by fusion of the devil projection?" This is much more exaggerated than the ritual effect he imagined!
Humph, Rudolph II sneered: "Am I a dark and despicable person like Ulrich?"
"The stupid guy can only see the benefits of the fusion of the devil's projection, but people like Tanos and I can be free from the influence of greed. Through superficial phenomena, we can discover the inner essence and find our own path."
"This world is destined to belong to people like us."
Arrogant and domineering. Extremely confident, Rudolf II did not hide it at all.
Lucien savored Rudolf II's words carefully, and suddenly felt aroused in his heart: "Emperor, are you projecting into Prince Baier's heart or soul like devils like greed, hatred, and pain, in advance, so he concealed the examination of Prince Baier. And when the critical moment, can you occupy and manipulate Prince Baier's body like the devil, and draw strength to grow?"
Rudolf II slowly turned his head, looked at Lucien seriously for the first time since he came in, and then nodded slightly: "I'm very keen and very smart. Although there is something wrong, it's basically it."
He did not point out where Lucien guessed wrong, which may be related to a deeper secret.
Lucien's heart was filled with shock. What kind of path did Rudolf II take to turn himself into a "weird" existence that resembles greed, hates the devil but does not have any "evil"?
And will he be silenced by Rudolf II, who knows this secret?
Under the slightest fearful tension, Lucien seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heart pounding, but this did not affect Lucien's thinking, judgment and determination. Even if there is no hope, he will not give up. He will move forward bravely, strive to create new hope, and never surrender to his destiny!
His right hand stopped at the entrance of the storage bag and was ready to inspire at any time.
Sophia, below the statue, stared at her father and the mysterious magician calmly chatting, and didn't understand why this happened. It was not until this time that she woke up. Her father was not far away, and the power of the legend was enough to protect herself at this distance. So she cried with a sharp voice, full of grievance and hatred: "Father, he, he wants to kill me, and let me do something extremely dangerous. You should kill him!"
This is the guy she hates the most and hates the most until now!
Lucien was frightened by her voice and almost lost control and took the lead. Fortunately, he stopped and focused on Rudolf II's reaction.
Rudolph II glanced at Sophia indifferently: "Don't you see it? After I projected on Baier, I only have the level of seven or eight heavenly knights. What should I use to kill him? With the impact of the power, are you sure you can survive?"
Puff, Lucien almost swears at Rudolf II on the opposite side, and can you say this directly? Is this emperor really so open and cute that he is almost alternative, or do you want to relax himself and take the opportunity to attack? If it is the latter, is it necessary?
"I was sure to kill you, but the nine-ring magic released by spell casting materials made me a little afraid. Is it the latest achievement of the Magic Council?" Rudolph II continued his open-minded style.
He didn't care much about the pale justice in Lucien's hands. He was barely considered an epic knight, and even if the projection was only at level seven or eight, he was not worried about being killed. Besides, he was not an "evil" creature, and pale justice was only equivalent to the level eight heavenly knight.
Lucien nodded slightly and confirmed Rudolph II's guess.
Rudolf II nodded thoughtfully: "My principles of doing things have always been simple. I don't have much confidence in killing you, so I chose not to take action, so I wouldn't let Sophia and Baier suffer from death. However, if you are arrogant and insist on fighting, I don't mind letting you know that it's amazing. Your son and daughter can be reborn if you die. If your projection is gone, you will be slightly injured at most. Can you bear such losses? You are not a lich or a great wizard. Sophia, come here."
Sophia reopened her heart and looked at Lucien in fear, worried that he would go to extremes. At the same time, she slowly moved towards Rudolf II step by step.
Lucien weighed the pros and cons, combined with his judgment on Rudolf II's current situation, suppressed his plan to hold Sophia hostage and threaten him.
Sophia finally moved to Rudolph II and really relaxed, her eyes filled with tears, her legs became weak, and her whole body trembled with excitement.
"You made two mistakes in your plan this time. One is that you are not strong enough, or that you are not loyal to you directly. You have to rely on Miranda to clear the market in the end and hand over your safety to your partners who cannot fully believe in it. The other is that you choose to cooperate with Ulrich."
"He is a poisonous snake with a spitting core. All the plans he made are beneficial to him, but they will not bring him too much danger. As for the safety of his partners, it is not his consideration. You should learn from him about this. As a qualified conspirator, you should not be in the palace, but in the basement outside, safely but pretend to be anxious to rescue him."
"As for the pain of Miranda's lifespan that was almost at the end of her life, she was hidden and accumulated by this special underground palace, and then triggered by Andris' extreme pain, it is an unexpected change in things. It is not something you can expect in advance, and you can only avoid it in advance by means like Ulrich."
Rudolph II actually spoke up on Sophia's failure.
Sophia looked at him in shock: "Father, father. You don't blame me, you don't blame me for almost killing my brother, you don't blame me for killing so many noble children?"
"Young griffons can only grow in iron and blood," Rudolf II replied briefly, "but you must find a way to solve the problems you left behind."
Sophia then understood that with her father's early projection, this conspiracy could not kill her brother Baier at all. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look back at the mysterious magician in the center of the hall, and she suddenly wailed in her heart, why did her conspiracy turn into a "child" game under the "adults" and "supervising" two "adults" and "supervising", although it was a "child" game where many people died.
In their eyes, aren’t my previous actions ridiculously childish?
Suddenly, the underground palace swayed and the magic circle fluctuated violently.
"It's almost forcibly broken outside..." Rudolf II looked up at the top in a dilemma.
Sophia was filled with strong joy. When several Sky Knights outside came in, they could kill the damn mysterious magician! No, it was best to capture him alive. You must see his true appearance clearly and torture him well!
It was this time! Lucien directly inspired the things he had held in his right hand before.
Although Rudolf II did not attack him now, it does not mean that he really doesn't want to do it. When the underground palace is opened, he may entangle him. At that time, Duke of Plantain, Earl of Nuremberg and other several Heavenly Knights will participate in the siege, and he will not even have the possibility of escaping!
Sophia glanced at Lucien in the middle of the hall with joyful eyes, but was shocked to see a scroll in his right hand lit up, bursting out with a rich darkness, as if it had penetrated the almost broken magic array space barrier!
Then, a chaotic distortion of time and space emerged, the black fog disappeared, and the mysterious magician disappeared.
"Escape? Can he actually escape?" Sophia shook her head hard without any belief.
Rudolph II narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered: "The night shuttle of the vampire clan?"
As for the chaotic teleportation behind, he was not surprised at all.
Seeing that his daughter was still shaking her head in a daze, Rudolph II turned around and said, "Go back to the outer layer, let's continue to hide the existence here from Ulrich. I want to see what he will look like in the end."
He had never thought of destroying the place because he was likely to come to "observe" often.
"Yes." Sophia replied in dismay.
Rudolph II's voice suddenly became cold: "But before that..."
His right hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed Sophia inexplicably lightly. In Sophia's stunnedness, a strange and distorted shadow, a black shadow full of endless pain was captured from her body.
"The projection of the devil of pain did not actually die, but it was attached to me..." Sophia was extremely scared.
Rudolph II held his right hand together, and the shadow screamed and was compressed into a ball.
Chapter completed!
