Chapter 121 The Power of the Straight Man
Witch King Malekith, many people call him the Whip of Fear, the Shadow of Naggaroth, the Lord of the Black Tower..., countless code names representing death and fear are in his name However, Malekith only cares about whether one title is respected - Son of Aenarion.
Even though betraying the eternal vow with his best friend Snorri made him feel a little guilty, after thousands of years of twisted life and morbid psychology entangled in him, he no longer cared about any opinions.
But the son of Aenarion is the only identity left with some sense of honor in his dark soul, and this care is the source of the eternal hatred between Druchi and Asul.
He is the orthodox Phoenix King of Ulthuan, and the royal power should belong to Malekith, the son of Aenarion.
There are many people sitting in Tal Anlek's dark tent, headed by the Witch King wearing midnight armor.
Malekith's tactics were very successful. Under attack from both inside and outside, the Phoenix Gate and the Griffin Gate had been breached. The Dragon Gate was still relying on the large number of war devices left behind by Caledor. However, it was only a matter of time before it fell. Invasion The operations of other kingdoms also went very smoothly, but they encountered resistance in Tyronlock, and Caledor's reinforcements made the war situation very anxious.
The Phoenix King is also trapped in Lothern. As long as the Eternal Queen is captured, the royal power will return to the sons of Aenarion.
But the Eternal Queen...
Dorian has never sent any news about the Eternal Queen, and even the contact between the two has been interrupted inexplicably. This makes Malekith feel uneasy and even a little scared. This was designed by him personally. The magic mirror has never failed and has been able to successfully contact spies around the world for many years.
But at this critical moment, Dorian could not be contacted. Could it be that the legion had failed, or the magic mirror fell into the hands of the enemy, or some powerful magic interfered with the effect of the magic mirror? For what reason, Malekith didn't know.
There is a powerful and mysterious spell in the land of Avalon that may be able to take away his life, but as the Witch King, Malekith will not let this happen.
Following Malekith's order, four people arrived at the camp not long after.
"Seize the Eternal Queen, and you will get anything you want." The Witch King's hoarse voice, like steel friction, came from the Midnight Armor, giving these four deadliest killers of Nagaros an offer they couldn't refuse.
Then the four of them were asked to pick up the Stone Crow Talisman on the table. This thing not only showed that they were the Witch King's special envoys, but also allowed Malekith to communicate with them at any time.
After the four people retreated, Malekith, who was covered in midnight armor, looked at the naked Druchi woman in the tent. She had Slaanesh runes on her body, and the aura she exuded stimulated everyone's nerves. , mobilizing the upwelling of lust.
Nakali, a Slaanesh Demon who only serves him. Long-term experience tells Malekith that doing things requires preparation with both hands, but if the Slaanesh Demon is put into the real world, even the Witch King cannot guarantee it. Able to control this big demon.
"This is just a backup method." After hesitating for a moment, Malekith reminded himself.
...
Dorian felt that he had been tricked. The Caledonian who escaped with the Eternal Queen did not appear in the east of Eden Valley. He had led people to search there for two days, but still found nothing, and In the west, someone found the bodies of some Harganxi witch spirits.
Dorian squatted down to examine the witch spirit that had been burned by the flames. There was no blood on the wounds on the body, and the blood had been evaporated instantly. It was obvious that the attacker used a magic weapon with fire attributes. Judging from the holes, It was pierced by a spear.
He thought of a possibility - the Star Lance, the dragon spear that pierced the heads of countless fear lords, but the gap was square instead of circular, which made him question this idea.
The black marks on the severed Wu Ling blade should have been caused by the long sword. He thought of a legendary weapon - the Dragon Fire Sword.
The artifact that accompanied Prince Caledor in the battlefield, and the Brilliant Star Dragon that only appeared once and then left. The person who saved the Eternal Queen may be the current Prince of Caledor, Imrik.
The emergence of this speculation gave him a chill in his heart. Caledo was the kingdom that quickly wiped out all domestic invaders. Even though it had focused on attacking them, it still had no effect.
As one of the most closed kingdoms, the number of spies within Caledor has always been difficult to increase, and many of them have been eliminated in the past two years. This has made it difficult for Nagaros to obtain relevant first-hand information.
According to his calculations, in order to quickly capture Caledor, the coalition forces of Nagarond and Hagrid Grave must directly attack Tal Kaled from the Dragonspine Mountains, otherwise the possibility is extremely low. If Caledor wipes out Tyran Loch's Naggaroth army and marches through the Eagle Gate, and the high-ranking Dragon Prince and Dragon Mage directly support the Dragon Prince, then trying to capture the Eternal Queen is simply a fantasy.
The Witch King has stopped contacting him. If you want to make up for this mistake, you can only capture the Eternal Queen and the Dragon Prince and sacrifice them to Malekith. This can appease the anger of the real Phoenix King.
...
Imric, who was leaning against the tree, watched Alarielle's movements. He saw her taking out the bow made of sticks and bark, and placing the arrows made of stones tied to thin vines. On the bow string, she was shooting at a bird on the tree. If she didn't care about the target, just looking at her posture, it was indeed pretty standard.
To be honest, this was a waste of life, but Imric did not stop her behavior or let her remember it, so she might not be able to cooperate with him in the future.
After the sound of a bowstring rebounding, the little bird was shot down from the tree. Alarielle exclaimed, then turned to claim credit from Imrik, "Well, I'll just say it worked."
Helplessly Shaking his head, the Dragon Prince stood up and picked up the Spear of Valor. He bowed his legs slightly under Alarielle's puzzled gaze, put the Spear of Valor on his shoulder, and threw it towards a place in the forest. There was an animal scream, and without saying anything, he walked towards that place.
A few minutes later, Imric returned with a deer in his hand.
Holding the little bird, which was no bigger than a fist, Alarielle felt a little embarrassed. She had been busy for a long time and shot a little bird, but someone else just casually shot a prey that big.
"If we were in the military camp and you were so eager to claim credit, I would have to throw you into the mine to dig out rocks." Imric pulled out a knife from his waist and sat down to dissect the deer.
The environment in Avalon is a bit humid, so I plan to make some bacon and take it with me to prevent it from spoiling and becoming inedible. The amount of deer should be enough to sustain consumption for several days.
"I'm a little curious if you are an Avalonian. This deer is far away, and it's so dark. I didn't even find a trace." Alarielle also knew that she had become a complete liability now, so Even the experience of living in the forest for many years was completely overwhelmed by Imrik, which severely affected her self-confidence.
"If you have to face various enemies in your childhood to gain the qualifications to live, you will also adapt to various environments." Imrik, who was cutting his thigh, responded. This sentence did not mean It is himself, but the memory of the dragon that he acquired before. Although most of it has been forgotten, some of the hunting experience is still retained. It is only a piece of cake to find a prey hiding in a corner.
Imric's words obviously caused a misunderstanding to Alarielle. She thought that the Dragon Prince had lived in the Dragon's Back Mountains or the Annuli Mountains fighting various beasts since he was a child. She said with some hesitation, "The Dragon Tamer Family Is this how you train heirs, even if your life is in danger?"
"The responsibility of the family is placed on our shoulders. Once we show the slightest weakness, those who peek at the power of the dragon will flock to us. Bloodline not only symbolizes honor, but also obligations. ." Prince Long agreed casually.
After cutting off the deer legs and hanging them on the campfire with several wooden strips, Imrik asked Alarielle the first question, "So what was your childhood like?" Alarielle wrapped her hands around the legs
. Sitting on a stone, hearing Imric's words, his eyes showed some nostalgia and sadness,
"My childhood grew up in Avalon, accompanied by bows and arrows and the forest. The maids would hold banquets at night, and we would gather around Various foods and drinks were shared with singing and dancing, moving music was played all the time, and the moonlight accompanied Lilith's blessings through the forest, making each of us feel happy." "Then when I was sixteen,
I Go to the palace to learn various knowledge and magic..." "
During this period, I met many people, Lila Ze, Grace... We grew up together, listened to the praises of those poets, and felt Elsa's blessings..."
As she spoke, Alarielle's tone was a little choked, and her figure seemed a little weak. If it were any normal Asur, he would definitely sit next to her and comfort her, in order to gain her favor and win the eternity. Love.
But Imric just twisted his neck, and then handed over a roasted deer steak, directly interrupting her memory, "If you want to cry, you can cry later. You can fill up the Dream Sea, and I don't have a problem with it." ."
Alarielle, who still wanted to wait for some comfort, snatched the deer steak and took a big bite, as if she was chewing on Imrik's ribs.
