Putting the matter of Twilight Town to the back of their minds, the group did not intend to look back to see if the townspeople were living a better life. Lin's group continued along the road, their goal was the headquarters of the Society of Sorcerers.
They rushed along the way, not as leisurely as they had been before. This was because Fen's weapon of mass destruction was not completely sealed in a container, and it unscrupulously emitted the aura of a ruler. Not only did the beasts and magical beasts avoid it, but even Lin and his two apprentices were not used to it. Although they were not sick, they were still listless, thinking of a million ways to die all day long.
Therefore, they hoped to reach the headquarters as soon as possible, find suitable materials, and use a more formal method to seal the container. On the other hand, they also hoped to obtain a more detailed map of the surrounding environment.
Previously, Lin was only busy recording the areas they had passed. For unknown locations, they could only rely on maps provided by others. What the Society of Sorcerers could provide was more than enough for them to move around in a region. However, the maps provided by the Society were only for locations within each region. If they wanted to move between regions, they would have to face this kind of situation.
Fortunately, the simplified map obtained from the Orc Mercenaries was accurate. After confirming their location, the group followed the route to the headquarters of the Society of Sorcerers, Mountain Ridge City.
The traditional southwest region of the Mysterious Lands, excluding the southwest peninsula, was the area before the Doomsday Mountains. The terrain was mountainous and hilly, hugging the plains to form a basin. The characteristics of this terrain were that transportation was inconvenient, and the areas that could be developed were scattered. Naturally, it became a zone of isolation for civilization.
The ancestors of those who came to this region either fled after being defeated in a war or came here to avoid the disaster of war. Although a few cities were established, they were not very successful. It was normal for the government and power to not be able to reach the basin they occupied, so they were unable to form a large country. In the eyes of the old kingdoms and empires, they were a group of country monkeys who occupied land and became kings.
This region was divided into the Basque region by the Society of Sorcerers. It was the largest region of the Society of Sorcerers' branches. However, the number of registered sorcerers was one of the lowest among all the branches. Similar to the number of Mages, the number of Homo Sapiens living here was relatively small compared to the size of the land.
Even so, the headquarters of the Basque branch, Mountain Ridge City, was a well-known magic tower in the maze world.
This magic tower originally didn't have a name. It was just a four-story tower built by a great magician who lived here in seclusion. But … "The reason for this tower's fame has something to do with you." Lin sat back in the driver's seat and said to the former Demon King.
"What's the relationship?" Fen stopped typing and looked at a certain someone who was talking about ancient history. After being sealed for over a thousand years, she was very interested in what had happened in this world, or what had happened in the other world. Not to mention, Lin also mentioned that this matter was related to him.
No matter if it was good or bad, as long as one was human, they would more or less care about what others thought of them. Even Lich, whose strength surpassed that of mortals, was the same. Lin didn't have the appetite to bait Fen's curiosity. It was just that doing so in the past would end badly, so he directly said:
"At the end of the Dark Age, the last Demon King's Army was annihilated. At that time, the power of the resistance army was concentrated at the Mountain Ridge Tower, so that tower was also called the last bridge of the Dark Age. At that time, it had been more than two hundred years since your death, which was the day the Demon King was executed. And after another year, in order to show the arrival of a new era, the Aramean calendar in use today was established, and it was called the first year of Aramean. "
"So this is the relationship you're talking about." Fen said with a little disappointment.
A certain someone was quite helpless. "Don't you think about what kind of reputation you had at that time? Do you want people to say that you were somewhere watching fish swim against the current, or that when you were young, in order to learn magic, you cut a bowl of porridge into four pieces and ate one piece in the morning and night, and a bowl of porridge could last you two days. "
"What do you mean when you were young?" Fen's eyes were fierce as she questioned a certain someone fiercely.
I say, sister, you only heard those three words in the whole sentence.
But the fierce look in her eyes immediately disappeared, and Fen asked again, "Then do you know who led the last Demon King's Army?"
Although her expression was no longer ferocious, and her eyes were fierce, the hatred under the calmness still made people shudder. Lin tried to recall the history books he had read, and vaguely remembered. He said, "If I remember correctly, it seems that a person called the Skeleton General gathered some remnants of the Demon King's Army and hid in the area that is now called the Malaga Basin. He started a long war with the Resistance Army."
"It's him. That brainless idiot. "
"What, you know him too?" What the hell! What's wrong with me? That person was the subordinate of this person, how could I not know him? So Lin changed his tone and asked, "What kind of person is that person?"
"He's just an idiot. Otherwise, how much wisdom do you think that brainless skeleton has? He thought that he could do whatever he wanted in the world because he led an undead army. Every time I saw him, I beat him up. After beating him up enough, he became obedient. But it seems that I didn't beat him up enough, so that damned guy dared to betray me. If I had known, I would have torn him apart and fed him to the dogs. "
Well, it seemed that her hatred was still very deep, and it made people not know whether to say anything or not. Regardless of whether it was the name or Fen's own words, the Skeleton General should be an Undead Skeleton. She kept emphasizing that the skeleton had no brain … It would be more frightening if the skeleton had a brain and internal organs.
But Hallumi spurred her horse and passed by the carriage for the umpteenth time. Every time, she would use a very strange gaze to look at her elder sister, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Speak, speak." Looking at the girl who passed by again, Fen simply closed the window in her spectacles and looked at Hallumi. "If you have any questions, just ask. Don't walk back and forth like that, I'm getting dizzy. "
"Yes, sister." The apprentice carefully asked about the secrets of the Lich's era. "Why did you say that the vampire we met before was a traitor? And that general just now was also … "
Fen also wanted to talk about the memories that had been evoked. But she didn't know where to start, so she thought for a while before speaking to Kaya and Lin, who were also eavesdropping, as well as Hallumi, who asked the question.
"You've all heard your teacher talk about so many conspiracies and schemes in their history, as well as the mutual deception. Then let me test you. Let's say there are only four of you. Alright, let's just the four of us. If we want to defeat a king protected by an army of a hundred thousand, what's the simplest way? "
"Only to bring down the King?" asked Halumiti.
"Yes, because once the king is defeated, the army will become scattered, so it's easier to deal with."
"If we don't sneak in, then we have to instigate a rebellion." Hallumi answered casually, without any hesitation or jerkiness.
"Yes, that's what they did back then?" Fen followed up even more smoothly. But everyone's eyes widened in shock, and Hallumi couldn't say anything.
Seeing everyone's expression, Fen felt that it was worth it, and said with an inexplicable sense of pride, "Otherwise, why did you think that there were only four people who were able to get the title of 'Hero', able to break through an army of three million at my peak and kill their way to my throne? They were a bunch of traitors, and even my royal city's guards didn't fight against the invaders, allowing them to come to me in their full form. This is the truth of what you call 'Hero'. "
Still in shock, Hallumi asked with some difficulty, "Those four Hero's colluded with the Demon King's army at that time?"
"Hmm, I don't think so." Fen recalled the events of that day and said, "The four of them seemed to be quite surprised when they came looking for me."
"So you guys started a war."
"No." To the blonde girl's question, Fen gave another surprising answer. She said, "Those four little brats, even if I stood still and let them cut me, I wouldn't lose a single hair even if they cut me for a hundred years. What war? "
"Then you?" Hallumi gestured to her neck, shoulders, and thighs, obviously hinting at Fen's dismemberment. But the Lich acted as if it didn't concern him, saying, "They're just tired of living. Those bastards, if I hadn't helped them, they wouldn't have been able to tear me apart. I wouldn't have been able to kill myself. But the condition was that they would seal my dismembered parts all over the place, and I didn't want to be revived. In the end, those little brats didn't keep their word. "
Wait … … This information was a bit too much, and even though Lin was only listening, he felt a chill run down his spine. He said, "When you first came back to life, why did you look so bitter and vengeful, and stare at the descendants of the Four Hero's descendants?"
"Their ancestors didn't keep their word, so it was just right for me to beat their butts, wasn't it? Besides, you might have forgotten, so I'll help you recover your memory. As for the matter of those four people, you were the one who brought it up first, not me. "
"Ah, you even went out in a circle before coming back?"
"Didn't I just wake up … … Ah! No, I just came back to life, so my mind isn't very clear. What's wrong with going out for a walk and calming down? "
"So you're saying that if the descendants of the Four Hero's descendants are still alive, you won't bother them? Is that what you mean? "
"No, I'll still beat them up. Didn't I just say that their ancestors didn't keep their word, so it was just right for me to beat them up? "
