Chapter 446 Mutual Trust among Allies
Hearing that he was about to enter the Abyss Temple, the wizard couldn't stop trembling. These days in prison had a huge psychological impact on him. He didn't even dare to sleep, for fear that one of his fellow inmates would suddenly change in the abyss.
Become a monster and tear yourself into pieces.
The horrific memories caused his body to turn from trembling to convulsions, and some mucus flowed from his nose, ears and eyes.
"I won't go, I won't go, I won't go..." The wizard shook his head: "I don't want to become a monster."
The wizard's anomaly aroused the alert of the imperial agents. Seeing the wizard pulling his collar tightly, the spy leader stepped forward and pulled his collar apart.
The wizard's chest was densely covered with black lines, and there was a vertical crack ten centimeters long. The muscles on both sides of the crack were slowly squirming, as if they were about to open.
Seeing such a scene, the spy leader put a dagger on the wizard's neck, turned back to Luke and said, "Sir, he will turn into a monster at any time. Death is the last thing we can give him as a human being."
Luke once again put his sword on the wizard's shoulders.
But no matter how much divine energy is input, the wizard's transformation into the abyss shows no signs of stopping. The crack in his chest is gradually opening, and the eyes inside can be seen.
The spy leader's dagger had cut open the skin on the wizard's neck, and blood with mucus seeped out. The leader eagerly said to Luke: "If he turns into a monster, his strength will suddenly increase, and it will be exposed here."
"Wait a minute!" Luke withdrew the steel wings of the blazing feathers and pointed his finger between the wizard's eyebrows.
Apostle Victor, standing in the middle, said: "Your Excellency, you suddenly led your troops to surround the Abyss Temple today. I don't know what we did wrong to cause you to be so angry."
The ugly-looking abyss demon with tentacles all over its body, strange limbs and eyeballs stood in front of it, and disgusting mucus spurted out from a certain mouth from time to time.
Last night, when adventurer Luke and I were talking about the transaction of storm barbarian transformation technology, Luke told me that the Abyss Temple also wanted the storm barbarian transformation technology, and it was exclusive!
Victor, how are you going to explain?"
Stones rolled down from the mountain wall, causing quite a bit of chaos among the abyss mages. However, the armored barbarians were not affected by anything, and the military formation continued to march forward in an orderly manner.
Luke said: "If you help us prevent the Abyss from coming and destroy the Abyss weapons, I think Miss Qingkong will be willing to treat you."
After listening to the words of the Celtic Duke, the other two apostles looked at Victor. Obviously, this was Victor's decision without consulting them.
Apostle Victor did not expect that Luke would sell him out so quickly and so completely.
Luke observed the wizard's condition and replied casually: "This is a spell that Miss Qingkong taught me before I came to the Holy Mountain. Miss Qingkong is an expert in dealing with the Abyss Temple."
But Luke actually handed over the complete technology to the Celtic Duke. If Luke was an imperial spy, this would be totally worth the loss!
"Let your apostles of the abyss come out!"
People’s hearts are really broken!
"Okay, I admit that I want to exclusive use of the storm barbarian transformation technology. But this has nothing to do with Abyss Advent. I assure you, Your Excellency, Abyss Advent will be strictly limited to the Abyss Temple and will not cause any harm to other parts of the Holy Mountain.
Influence."
"Victor!" the Celtic Duke yelled angrily: "Don't use your dark heart to speculate on a noble adventurer! Mr. Luke has given me the storm barbarian transformation technology, and my mage advisor has confirmed that it is complete
With the technology, Duke Castle will soon be able to cultivate storm barbarians.
"I see."
Seeing so many strange and disgusting monsters in front of him, the Celtic Duke's expression became even more solemn.
Qingkong's voice rang in Luke's ears: "His abyssal transformation is already at an advanced stage, and the starry sky energy can only temporarily prevent the abyssal transformation from continuing, but cannot completely purify the abyssal energy he absorbed.
Abyss mages stand in a row behind the abyss familiars. They chant spells or secret words to prepare spells before battle.
Victor looked at the "good brothers" on his left and right with a very unhappy expression. Without their help, Celtic would never be able to capture Egbert.
These are all changes made by humans!
Priest Egbert is now a guest at the Duke's Castle, and he told me everything."
These two guys are not only colluding with Qingkong, but also colluding with Celtic. Looking at the situation today, they want to take the opportunity to bring me down.
The spy leader took out his magic wand and released magic lighting to illuminate the map.
The black mist inside the gate of the Abyss Temple surged violently, and three apostles in black robes walked out from inside.
Morpheus said very unconfidently: "I, I, can I do it?"
Morpeth…”
I think, Your Excellency, you should investigate Luke first, he is obviously trying to alienate our alliance."
Opposite the armored barbarian army formation are the abyss mages and abyss familiars.
The armored barbarians are the soldiers of the Celtic Duke. They are all elite warriors who have made achievements in the barbarian army. They wear full-body steel armor, hold swords with a blade of two meters in both hands, and stand in a sideways attack posture.
Victor didn't expect that Luke would give the Storm Barbarian technology to the Celtic Duke.
A cry made all the abyss mages heave a sigh of relief. Usually, they consciously mastered high-level power and should be superior to others. Today, facing the most elite barbarian army, they found that they could not muster the courage to fight.
"You tried to blackmail me with the storm barbarian transformation technology, and you just deceived me. How can I trust your promise?"
Luke walked to the map and everyone else gathered around him.
The wizard who has recovered his spirit is aware of his physical condition. If the abyssal energy is not removed from his body, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes abyssal again.
Maybe the apostles of the abyss have long had the idea of transforming me into this kind of monster.
After the mission is completed, return to the prison and return the way you came.
Now facing the pressure from the empire, the Abyss Temple and the Duke's Castle must closely trust and assist each other. If you want to exclusively enjoy the storm barbarian transformation technology, you not only need to give an explanation to the Duke, but also need to give an explanation to the temple."
Apostle Victor felt the pressure exerted on him by the three parties.
Originally, everyone was afraid that they would be eroded by the energy of the abyss this time when they went deep into the Abyss Temple, but now they no longer have any worries.
The three apostles walked up to the Celtic Duke, and under the Duke's gaze, they performed the mage salute together.
The tall and burly Celtic Duke looked down at the three apostles and said: "Stop the coming of the abyss. This is the order I give you!"
All the armored barbarians stomped forward together, shouting in unison, and their momentum made the mountain wall shake, as if a landslide would occur at any time.
If the energy of the abyss polluted the Holy Mountain, I might become like this.
The Celtic Duke said contemptuously: "I agree that the coming of the abyss is based on our mutual trust, but... you broke this mutual trust.
Apostle Victor replied: "This time the Abyss descends, I have asked you, the Duke, for instructions. In order to restore the power of the temple and provide better support to the barbarian army, you agree to the Abyss descending."
The scarred man immediately pulled out a hand-drawn map of the Abyss Temple and hung it on the wall.
Several imperial agents took out their pocket watches at the same time and adjusted their time according to the hands on Luke's dial.
Apostle Victor gave up power and the whole scene suddenly became quiet.
When they heard that this was a spell developed by Miss Qingkong, the imperial agents looked as if it was indeed the case.
"The Apostle is here!"
At this time, outside the gate of the Abyss Temple, the armored barbarians of the Duke's Castle were in a confrontation with the Abyss Mages.
Inside the gate of the Abyss Temple, black clouds and mist surged, and sounds like the neighing of wild beasts echoed from inside.
Before Apostle Victor finished speaking, the second apostle said: "Victor, it was you who made the mistake. Why did the temple apologize and compensate?"
"Your Majesty the Duke, maybe I wrongly blamed Mr. Luke and caused a crisis of trust between our allies. The Temple of the Abyss is willing to apologize and compensate you for our mistakes..."
Clear sky, lend me a little power of the starry sky.
"I can only give you two imperial agents, even if it doesn't work, I'll do it!"
At the moment, we can only do our best to promote the coming of the abyss.
The barbarian future he gave me also allowed me to see you clearly!"
"You and your little guys will guard the prison and provide support."
The third apostle also said: "Yes! Everything was normal when the Abyss descended. It was the mistake you made that made the Duke feel uneasy.
The Celtic Duke was also fearless and walked forward harmoniously along with the military formation.
The Celtic Duke wore a gorgeous silver heavy armor and a makeshift ducal crown on his head. He stood in front of the armored barbarian formation with a broad-bladed sword in both hands, and there were more than ten people standing beside him.
A barbarian hero with extraordinary combat power.
Luke waited for the wizard for a while, and after seeing that he had recovered, he said: "There is too much abyss energy remaining in your body, and Miss Qingkong's spell cannot remove it all. If you are willing to take us into the Abyss Temple, I will take you
Go to Shenglun City and Miss Qingkong will treat you personally."
As long as the Celtic Duke gives the order, this torrent of steel will immediately rush towards the enemy.
When the spy leader saw that the wizard seemed to have recovered, he also took back the dagger. He asked Luke curiously: "Sir, how did you do it? You actually prevented the abyssalization! According to our investigation, the abyssalization is irreversible, and
unstoppable."
Just now, he thought Luke was an imperial spy, using the Storm Barbarian transformation technology as bait to drive a wedge between the Celtic Duke and the Abyss Temple, and finally escaped from the Holy Mountain.
He defended: "My Lord, Duke of Celtic, have you been deceived? I have never discussed the storm barbarian transformation technology with Luke, and I have never thought about exclusive use of this technology.
When the scarred-faced man heard Luke calling his name, he immediately asked: "What, what do I do?"
"Yes, I should take full responsibility for this matter." Apostle Victor retreated: "I will give up the position of First Apostle, which one of you wants to take over? Or... the Duke of Celtic gives a suggestion
.”
Abyss mages and abyss familiars moved out of the way.
"I will take you into the Temple of the Abyss."
After speaking, Luke took out his pocket watch: "The mission time is one hour. Start timing from controlling the prison. Now check the time."
The eyes that were about to open on the wizard's chest gradually closed. Although the cracks were still there, they were very calm. The wizard's shaking body also calmed down. He took a long breath and exhaled. The change just now put a huge burden on his body.
Seeing that Victor still dared to quibble, the Duke of Celtic laughed sarcastically: "Victor, you are the first apostle of the Temple of the Abyss. Don't you dare to admit what you do or say? You met Luke yesterday,
Afterwards, Luke was promoted from an abyss mage candidate to a priest. Priest Egbert was also there at the time.
"Very good!" Seeing the wizard nod, Luke said to everyone in the room, "Let's make a plan first."
Facing the oppressive barbarians, the abyss mages who mastered magic and secret arts retreated step by step.
Let no one get the Storm Barbarian technology.
Luke pointed at the location of the prison on the map and said: "We entered through the tunnel used to rescue the wizard and occupied the prison without triggering the alarm.
After taking control of the prison, we divided our forces into two groups. I took Coconut and Storm Cato to prevent the coming of the abyss; you follow the wizard to find the abyssal weapons, and collect as much information as possible on the abyssal weapons while ensuring the destruction of the abyssal weapons.
But he was still worried and asked: "Miss Qingkong's status is so noble, will she treat me with a humble status? I am the Abyss Mage, the mortal enemy of Oulu Academy."
I don't know if this is an imperial conspiracy. If it is... I will definitely give a medal to the architect of this conspiracy.
If you want him to fully recover, you probably need to wait for the World Tree to advance into an artifact."
A cool energy was sent into the wizard's eyebrows.
Victor said: "Your Excellency, I think the storm barbarian transformation technology is a conspiracy of the empire. Luke must be captured as soon as possible, otherwise he will definitely escape with the storm barbarian transformation technology."
The man with the scarred face hurriedly found a cloth and wiped the mucus flowing out of the wizard.
Who will be the first apostle?
Is he really just an adventurer?
Apostle Victor had no way to add any more charges to Luke. He only blamed the sudden appearance of Storm Barbarian transformation technology and a bunch of bad things inside the temple, which made him do a stupid thing without thinking.
The empire has this technology and can do a lot of things to gradually dismantle the barbarian communities on all sides of the Tedga Hills and harvest them one by one.
He had only heard from his subordinates about these monsters in the Abyss Temple. Although he had imagined these monsters as hateful at the time, after seeing their true appearance, he found that he had imagined them to be too beautiful.
Neither the second apostle nor the third apostle took the initiative to speak. If they were to seize the position at this time, wouldn't it be clear that they would become Victor's target?
The Celtic Duke didn't say anything either. He didn't want to expose the apostle he had finally won over.
Time passed minute by minute.
After a while, the Celtic Duke said: "Deciding who will serve as the first apostle is a matter within your Abyss Temple. I hope that the Abyss Temple will recover from the turmoil as soon as possible, but in the case of internal ghosts within you, the Abyss Temple will
There is a possibility of getting out of control.
This coming of the abyss must end!"
