"Marshall, you disappoint me." The sudden voice startled both of them. Anthony immediately looked up and saw a figure on top of the hole he landed on. However, due to the light, Anthony couldn't see what the other party looked like. He only saw that the other party was wearing a long robe, and judging from the voice, it should be a man of some age.
"Master!" Marshall immediately recognized the person, but he was still lying on the ground and couldn't stand up for the time being.
"Master?" Anthony was taken aback. He raised his head and looked at the person. "Who are you?"
"Oh, it seems like the Emperor has forgotten about me," the voice said with a hint of mockery.
"I've seen you before?" Anthony was taken aback again. At this moment, his eyes adapted to the surrounding darkness and he happened to see the person who was speaking. It was a man who looked to be in his fifties. He had a square face and a gray beard. He wore a dark purple robe and looked like a Mage. After seeing the man's face, Anthony suddenly remembered something. Yes, his memory came back.
"You're the one who attacked me!" Anthony suddenly remembered that he had seen this face before. It was the face of the person who attacked him at the northern border. When Anthony saw Marshall, he didn't remember anything. But when he saw this man, he instantly remembered.
Yes, although Marshall was one of the people who attacked him, he wasn't the main attacker. The main attacker was the man in his fifties in front of Anthony. Anthony also remembered that he had just stolen the God's Stone and was about to return to the military camp when he was attacked by these two people. Of course, Anthony didn't recognize Marshall at that time. He just habitually thought that they were here to steal his God's Stone. But now that he thought about the current situation, they weren't here to steal the God's Stone. Their target should be him.
"It seems like the Emperor has remembered." The man smiled faintly. Of course, he didn't know that Anthony had lost his memory. It was just a simple memory.
"Who are you? Why did you attack me? " Anthony asked immediately. The reason why Marshall attacked him was very clear, but who was this guy and why did he attack him? Of course, Anthony also thought that he might not be able to remember at this time, so he wanted to clarify.
"Sorry, I didn't have time to introduce myself last time. Of course, I can tell you now. My name is Patrick Ludwig." Patrick revealed a smile and said in a gentlemanly manner.
"Ludwig? You're Ludwig's descendant? " Anthony was shocked. Ludwig's name wasn't very common. Now that Ludwig's name had appeared, it was a sensitive situation. Anthony immediately thought of this.
"That's right." Patrick nodded immediately. "Ludwig is my ancestor."
"Wait …" Anthony was suddenly shocked because he had heard the whole situation from Li Huailin. It said that the person who used sorcery to control the human pillar's descendant must be related to Ludwig. The other party might have used Ludwig's skill. Now that Patrick appeared, Anthony immediately thought of this situation. "Could it be that all of this was your instruction?"
"Of course it was me." He didn't expect Patrick to directly admit it. "Apart from me, who else can break my ancestor's seal?"
Anthony's face immediately sank. So the culprit was here. Anthony now understood that Marshall only played a role in completing the magic circle. This was because completing the magic circle required the human pillar's descendant, and Marshall happened to be one of them. The real caster was Patrick. He was probably there the whole time. After Marshall entered the magic circle, he was also the one who cast the spell. It was just that he didn't show himself.
"You used Marshall?" At this time, Anthony had already treated Marshall as his brother, so he was extremely angry at Patrick's behavior.
"Use? That's not the right word. "Patrick laughed." Isn't the real person who hurt Marshall you, Your Majesty? I'm the one who saved Marshall. If it weren't for me 15 years ago, would Marshall still be standing in front of you now? He would have been killed by you, alright? "
"Huh?" Anthony was stunned. "You were the one who saved Marshall?"
Patrick didn't answer. He just looked at Anthony, but Anthony knew that what Patrick said was basically true. After thinking for a moment, Anthony said again, "Did you save Marshall for today's magic circle?"
"Yes." Patrick immediately said, "I admit that I was prepared to do this at that time. This was one of the reasons why I saved Marshall. So what? I never hid it, did I, Marshall? "
"Yes, Master." Marshall nodded immediately. "I did it willingly."
"You … Why did you do this?" Anthony asked immediately. "Aren't you Ludwig's descendant? Your ancestor sealed the elemental channel and saved the entire continent. As Ludwig's descendant, you want to open the elemental channel and let elemental creatures invade this continent? Don't you think that doing this is simply discrediting your ancestor? "
"Discrediting?" Patrick chuckled. "Then do you know how my ancestor Ludwig died in the end?"
"Huh?" Anthony was slightly taken aback. Indeed, he didn't know how Ludwig died in the end.
"He was killed by the people he saved," Patrick said with a smile. "When the elemental army invaded, the other humans didn't dare to stand up. But my ancestor, the Evil Art Master, stood up and successfully sealed the elemental channel, saving the entire continent. But after coming back, you self-proclaimed righteous people took it to heart that the Evil Art Masters saved the entire continent because we Evil Art Masters should be evil. How could we save the entire continent? "
"All the glory went to the four Elemental Sealers. And after my ancestor saved the entire continent, he was ostracized by the various families. In the end, our Ludwig family was almost exterminated. In the end, we could only hide everywhere, not even daring to reveal our family's identity." Patrick took a deep breath and said.
"What? This … This is impossible!" Anthony was also stunned. He really didn't know about this.
"Impossible? It was written very clearly in the notes left behind by my ancestor. I can even feel his anger and indignation when he wrote it down, "Patrick said." You say it's impossible? Look at the records in the history books. Even the records of your Murat Family are very clear. However, my ancestor only left behind a name. It seems that he was just a name in the team that saved the continent. He didn't even dare to write down his occupation. "
At this point, Patrick took a deep breath, "Our Ludwig family was the one who stood up to save the continent. We should be respected by the people, not you. That's why I'm going to correct this mistake!"
"You mean …" Anthony took a deep breath and asked.
"Let the elemental creatures invade once more. When the country is about to perish, I … the heir of the Ludvid family will appear in front of everyone as the savior of the world. I will let everyone know that our Ludvid family is the hope of the continent, and that we are the ones they should revere." Patrick opened his arms as he spoke, as if he was already fantasizing about being respected by the people.
"I can understand that you are doing this for the sake of your family's reputation, but I can't agree with the way you let the elemental creatures invade and put millions of civilians in danger," Anthony immediately said.
"Then tell me what I can do. You are people who rose to power because of my ancestor. Do you think I should beg you to help me explain my ancestor's situation?" Patrick laughed. "Indeed, this method is a bit radical, but I feel that the necessary sacrifices are still necessary."
"Nonsense. There is no need for sacrifices," Anthony immediately said.
"I know that you can't give up your power. Marshall, he lied to you." Patrick raised his magic staff and pointed it at Anthony. A black light flashed. Anthony had already exhausted his Combat Aura during the fight with Marshall, so he was now very weak. After being hit by the spell, he knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Now that we have him, we don't need your bloodline." Patrick laughed. "Pull him up and bring him along. We will open the elemental passage and let the elemental creatures come here. We will cleanse this world."
"Ugh …" Marshall felt a little better at this time. He slowly stood up and looked at Anthony on the ground with a little hesitation in his eyes.
"Don't … Don't listen … to him," Anthony said with difficulty.
"Marshall!" Patrick shouted again.
"Yes, Master."
