Dust of History Chapter 87: Seeking skin with a tiger
"Yes, we are going to kill him. Only by killing him and extracting the power of the world tree leaf and the sun well in his body can we destroy the hilt of the Black Star." Talis took a deep breath After taking a breath, he finally began to nod his head.
"More than 20 years ago, under the leadership of His Majesty Pope Durkan, the strongest in the mainland, the power of the church has reached its peak. His Majesty Durkan was already the strongest in the mainland at that time, whether it is Power, or personal strength. So he began to challenge the legendary myth, the Black Star.
Exploring countless elven ruins, he discovered after studying ancient books. The purpose of the ritual passed down by the elves was to fuse the power of the World Tree leaves and the Sunwell into one person, and then let the person feed the sword with his body. "
"The power of the leaves of the world tree and the sun well is the only force that can affect the dark star. Although it cannot destroy the dark star, it can damage the dark star. Although it is impossible to really save the continent from Being cleansed, at least through this ceremony, the Judgment Day, which is enough to destroy the continent, can be delayed until the next time someone draws a sword. Although he knew it, His Majesty Durkan didn't believe it. Instead, he believed in Archibald's prophecy, believed He is a strong man who has gathered all the power to change the world. So he wants to pull up the black star by himself and challenge this legendary artifact of destruction with his own power."
"However, what we want is not to destroy the hilt itself, but to release a dark aura when the black star is destroyed. According to the records of the elves, when the black star is damaged, it will be released from the sword. It exudes a destructive aura of darkness and death. Although it cannot be compared with the ultimate forbidden curse contained in the sword, it is still enough to kill thousands of people."
"That aura is our trump card against Oufu. It is the most effective means. It may also be the only means."
"Oufu's current development has exceeded the expectations and control of His Majesty the Pope. The submission of the Tauren and the Harpy has greatly increased their strength. The most important thing is that they seem to be still mining the Sand Fes Mountains. A large number of magic gems, those are the necessary materials for making high-level scrolls. Sedros has all-powerful means. If he is allowed to produce a large number of high-level magic scrolls, Oufu's combat effectiveness will rise by several levels. Even because of the elimination of Negan The main force. We can gather all the troops in the Western Continent, and it will be an arduous war against Oufu."
"The only way to destroy Oufu is to take the hilt of the Dark Star to the Wild Highlands and destroy it. The death breath that emanates is not only Oufu, but the entire Wild Highlands will be submerged in it. Otherwise, even if we can finally win the battle with Oufu, tens of thousands of soldiers will die on the wild highlands."
"Oufu must be destroyed as soon as possible. The development of this orc city is too fast and the potential is too great. So far, Sedros still controls the behavior of the orcs, but when he no longer needs to When worrying about us, in order to compete for more resources and territory, Oufu will have friction with us humans sooner or later. Even people of different beliefs will have struggles and conflicts. Let alone between different races. When it develops into a real When there is a great empire, the people on the entire continent will suffer.”
"That's it, so he must die. For the future of the entire continent, at least to prevent tens of thousands of warriors from dying in the battle with the orcs, and to destroy the hilt of the Black Star, that may be more Dangerous thing. Therefore, he must die."
"Okay. Now I've told you everything, this is what you want to know." Talis was already tired and powerless, and she felt better than on the battlefield when she said these words. It is even more tiring to rush ten times among thousands of troops.
"Knowing this. What can I do? He has to die." Talis looked at Ai Yimei. "I know you like him, but this is a fact that no one can change. So I don't want to tell you this, maybe it makes you think it's just my reason to hate me, maybe it's better."
Looking down at the ground, Ai Yimei was silent for a long while before she said, "Why do you want to put all the responsibility on brother Asa alone? It's not his fault. Sister, you should know, He's a good guy."
"It's not his fault. He has no responsibility. I...I also know that he is not a bad person. It's just..." Talis sighed deeply. In fact, Ai Yimei's words just now, she Asked Lancelot once. "It's just...we have only this way to do it, only this choice."
"Letting innocent and good people take responsibility that was not his, is this the justice you have always said, sister?" Ai Yimei looked up at Talis, her immature face was full of stubbornness.
"I don't know, I don't even know what justice is now. I just know that I have to do this." Talis also looked at Ai Yimei, sadly, but under this layer of sadness But it is perseverance.
The two of them stopped talking and just looked at each other silently. After a long time, Ai Yimei suddenly said: "No matter what, I must find a way to save brother Asa, I must not let him die... I will not let you die either."
"Stop talking silly. You go to rest first, I will have someone take you away tomorrow." Talis shook her head, this was just a child's talk.
But that night, Ai Yimei disappeared from the barracks. No one found out how she got out of the barracks. It seemed that she had been staying in the tent without getting rid of it. The only explanation was that she had a teleportation scroll with her.
Although it was strange that Ai Yimei had a teleportation scroll, Talis felt a little relieved. What she was most worried about was what stupid things Ai Yimei would do when she found out about this, but now it seems that she won't be able to do so, and she has a teleportation scroll with her, which at least shows that she should have already made plans. As for what the plan was, Talis had no energy and no way to care about it.
At this point, there is no power to change it.
Elasia, St. Peter's Basilica, in the room of the new Cardinal Inham.
Indeed, as Talis thought, Ai Yimei had a plan before asking her, but this plan was definitely not something she could think of.
"My lords, you have already heard those words." Ai Yimei looked at the two cardinals. He took out a small piece of metal from behind his ear.
This is a metal sheet carved with a very precise air magic circle and space magic circle on it. You can feel the vibration of the air, and then generate corresponding vibrations on another piece of metal in another place, keeping the sound intact. Vigorously teleport over. This magical trick requires the wearer's own magic to drive it. If you are facing someone like the Pope or Lancelot, it is naturally impossible to hide it. However, it is still no problem to deal with Talis who is out of the house.
"I heard it very clearly. It's really unexpected news. Thank you for your hard work." Bishop Adela smiled slightly.
Although Lancelot let Aimei go in a very secret way. But it is not difficult for them who are determined to find her, especially she herself seems to want to find Talis very much. The agreement with this little girl was also exceptionally smooth, as expected, borrowing the fact that she really asked Talis about those things.
"You're welcome, this is the question I wanted to ask. Instead, I want to thank you. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know where to find the answer. I wouldn't be able to get to that place by myself. Go." Aiyimei bowed to the two cardinals, and then asked lightly.
"What I want to know now is, what do you two plan to do with me?"
"Oh? Interesting little girl." Bishop Adela smiled, and glanced at Bishop Inham next to him rather strangely. "What. Do you think we will deal with you?"
"If someone like me who knows too much continues to live, the two lords will definitely feel unsafe. Moreover, the two lords are not benevolent Lord Lancelot, so naturally there is no reason to let me go. "
"Oh? Then you dare to come back by yourself?" Adela looked at Ai Yimei, the smile on her face was still so gentle and bright, as if she was facing a very rare and cute little animal.
"The two bishops are really going to kill me, can I hide it? Since you can rest assured that I will go to see my sister alone, you are naturally prepared, and you are not afraid that I will leak the secret or that I will escape.
Although you are in Erasia, I know that no matter what I do, I cannot escape the eyes of you two. "Ai Yimei is very calm. She is so sophisticated that she is not commensurate with her age and appearance. Too many hardships have already given her a heart and mind beyond her age.
"Well, what a smart little girl." Bishop Adela nodded, smiling even more charmingly.
Indeed, what was placed on the little girl was definitely not just the small metal piece that transmits the sound, but also a few eagle-eyed puppets were watching her all the time. He let out a long sigh with some reluctance. "You have such insight and courage at such a young age. It's really rare... Even I can't bear it..."
Although he said so, the hand behind Bishop Adela's back has already been condensed with magical fluctuations. This little girl really knows too much. If it wasn't for waiting for her to come back here to completely erase the traces~IndoMTL.com~ would have made her a zombie long after she got the news.
Although this is a cathedral, with the abilities and positions of the two of them, it is easy for everyone to forget that a little girl whom no one knew disappeared here.
But Inham reached out and pressed Adela's hand to dissipate the dangerous magic power. He looked at Ai Yimei and said lightly: "Don't go around in circles, just tell us if you have anything to say."
"I want to negotiate a deal with the two bishops."
"What?" The two cardinals were startled. Adela smiled and said, "Oh?
Based on your intelligence, it shouldn't be a boring condition. Tell me, what do you want to trade with us? "
"Bishop Inham, you are the culprit who caused the misunderstanding between the Tower of Fangs and the Forest of Whispers and ended up fighting each other. I heard from Master Grandon that you seem to want the leaf of the World Tree very much. Save your son..." Ai Yimei summoned up all her strength and said looking at Inham's seemingly calm eyes that could actually tear her apart at any time. "If I help you get the leaf of the world tree, can you help me rescue Brother Asa?"
