"… My lady, I didn't expect you to come here." Laing shrugged helplessly. At the same time, he was a little unhappy. The Lake Fairy had interfered deeply in his private life, but since the female knight did not object, he could not say anything.
"I came here carefully. I thought you would be done soon, but you took more than an hour to take a bath." The Lake Fairy's tone was strange. She stared at Laing and said, "Don't you know I'm waiting outside? If you hadn't transferred the divine power for me, I would have used up a lot of divine power in ten minutes. "
"I didn't notice." Laing put Suria on the bed, wrapped the female knight in a bathrobe, and then held her on his lap. "What's the matter? My lady? "
The Goddess changed her sitting position uncomfortably. Under the long skirt, one of her bare feet was exposed. Pink nail polish was applied to her feet, and iris petals were stuck on it. Taking advantage of the fact that the female knight was wearing a bathrobe, the Lake Fairy stared at Suria's lower abdomen as if she wanted to find some clues.
On the female knight's smooth, jade-like lower abdomen, there was a strange heart-shaped pattern. Golden threads surrounded a sharp sword and a complicated "I" pattern in the middle. The "I" pattern and the sharp sword were half gold and half silver, and were protected in the middle by a silver ribbon. Silver wings surrounded the sharp sword and shone brightly. At this moment, the wings were still closed, and there were only a few signs of them opening.
Sure enough, what he gave to Suria was different from what he gave to other women. The Lake Fairy thought about Laing's engraving.
The Lake Fairy's Chosen of Gods champion was very mysterious. He was an outsider, a "god" who had not grown up, but also a human with a pure bloodline without any blemishes.
In addition to his powerful bloodline talent, Laing was the only person in the world who could directly use subspace magic. Not only would he not be corrupted, but he could also dispel the corruption.
What interested the Lake Fairy the most was the mysterious spiritual rune engravings that appeared on the lower abdomens of Morgiana, Olica, and that witch Veronica. This kind of engraving went deep into the target's soul and helped them resist all kinds of corrupting threats. Moreover, it would gradually mature with more contact until its wings were fully opened.
The spiritual tattoos on Suria's lower abdomen were different from the ones she had seen before. What did this mean? Was it because of Laing's special love, or was it because she was Laing's father's daughter-in-law? Or was it a special gift from the father and son?
Even with the vast amount of knowledge that the Fairy of the Lake possessed, she was unable to understand this special situation. She could only guess.
"Madam?" Laing noticed the gaze of the fairy in the lake. He wrapped Suria tightly in his bathrobe and said impolitely, "What are you looking at? This is my wife, not yours. I won't show it to you. "
"Laing, don't be like this." Suria's face was red. Unfortunately, the female knight had no strength at the moment. She could only lean in her husband's arms and say softly to the Lake Fairy, "Madam, if you need anything, please tell us. Laing and I will obey your will."
"Laing, my champion, it's best that you sign a treaty with Emperor Karl-franz when you come to the Empire." The Lake Fairy could only sweep these thoughts out of her mind. She reached out and stroked Suria's delicate face and said with a smile, "This will be beneficial to our future plans."
"Aren't Brittany and the Empire allies? Aren't we supposed to help each other?" Laing was confused.
"That's Brittany, not you." The Lake Fairy shook her head. She pointed a finger at Suria's forehead. Divine power surged from her fingertips, and Suria began to recover from her tiredness. The pious female knight immediately listened to the Lake Fairy's instructions. The Lake Fairy said, "What I want is for you to form an alliance with Emperor Karl-franz. It's best if it's a military alliance."
"Why?" Laing asked.
An alliance that helped each other was called a 'defensive alliance'. This kind of alliance not only guaranteed that both sides could work together in battle, but also emphasized that if one side was declared war, both sides would fight at the same time.
A higher level than a defensive alliance was called a 'military alliance'. This kind of alliance was simply 'advance and retreat together'. Once such an agreement was signed, if the Empire declared war on any faction, Laing would have to do the same.
The Empire and the dwarves had such an agreement.
"It's you. It's you and Karl-franz's alliance, not the Empire and Brittany's!" The Lake Fairy saw that Laing did not understand, so she immediately repeated.
Now Laing understood. "You mean my Earl's territory and Emperor Karl's Rick's territory?"
"Yes. My prophecy shows that in the next few to ten years, Brittany will not face a major invasion, but the Empire is different." The Lake Fairy said in a deep voice. "The most powerful human country in the old world still has to face many terrible tests. Laing, we must not let the Empire fall. Karl-franz and his army are the hope of mankind. We must work together to fight against the threat of Chaos and the green skin."
The Lake Fairy stood up, her beautiful body swaying in the room. The goddess held a golden holy grail in her hand, and the liquid in the holy grail was rippling under the goddess' will. "As the master of Charlemagne's city, Karl-franz has undoubtedly proved his firmness and his orthodoxy of the Empire's laws. As the emperor of the Empire, he used the divine hammer 'Gail Maraz' again and again to defeat his enemies. He will be an ally who understands the big picture and is worthy of trust."
"Under Chaos, no one can survive. When the green skin passes through, all things will wither." Laing also said seriously, "My lady, I understand what you mean. Before the final moment, we must preserve the power of mortals and weaken the God of Chaos' grasp of the future."
"Exactly." The Lake Fairy paused for a moment, then said with some embarrassment, "Other than that, I need you to do me a favor."
…
Early the next morning, in the Royal Hotel of the Empire, Laing and Tegris sat opposite each other. Milk, bread, fried eggs, and ham were placed on the table. The two were eating breakfast together.
"So, we need to steal a treasure from the time of Charlemagne from the secret basement of the Church of Justice in the capital of the human Empire, under the eyes of thousands of combat priests, more than a hundred demon hunters, and thousands of zealots of the Church of Justice. We need to steal a treasure from the time of Charlemagne as the first fragment of Lilith's Crown?" Tegris was still expressionless. He said calmly, "Lilith wants us, a mage and a warrior, to be a diplomat and a rogue?"
"A warrior who doesn't want to be a rogue is not a good mage, Mr. Tegris." Laing used a knife and fork to cut a piece of fat roast pork steak. This food was specially provided by the royal family and was provided by the emperor's private kitchen.
"This really shouldn't be our job. Whether it's you or me, we're not good at hiding. Lilith always does this kind of thing." After confirming the Lake Fairy's plan again and again, Tegris complained in a muffled voice, "She should give this task to Aris, the Lord of Shadows. If she can't do it, she can give it to Aralos."
"But she can only rely on us." Laing spread out his hands.
The Lake Fairy's influence was very small among the elves, and it was the same in the Empire. She could only borrow the power of Tegris and Laing.
"… Let's think about what to do first." Tegris was silent for a while, then said, "It's not difficult to avoid the perception of the gods. My magic can do it, but how do we get past the huge guards and the Zealots patrolling day and night?"
"Let's first confirm whether the thing Lilith wants is really under the Church of Justice, where it is, how to get it, and how much trouble it will be. Then, we'll think about how to get it out," Laing whispered.
"Well, let's go to the Academy of Light today." Tegris also felt the problem was tricky. He knew that Lilith could only rely on himself and Laing.
The two stood up one after another and walked out.
Today, Tegris, Laing, Veronica, and Teresa would visit the Academy of Light, one of the Royal Wizard Academies of the Empire.
Originally, the Emperor of the Empire, Karl-franz, should have been busy with business and had no time to participate in this visit. However, the Emperor himself attached great importance to Tegris' visit to the Academy of Light. He even took time out of his busy schedule to visit with Laing and the others.
The Supreme Wizard of Light, Vospasian Kant, and the Dean of the Academy of Light, Otto, were already waiting. The Wizards of Light were all wearing white robes, and their skin and hair were as white as snow. Their bodies were completely covered by the power of the wind of light.
"Although it's called the Royal Wizard Academy of the Empire, the Royal Wizard Academy is not 'one' big academy, but eight independent academies." Tegris leaned on Lilith's Moon Staff and walked towards the Academy of Light.
The Academy of Light had always been called the 'First Academy' because the first Grand Wizard of the Royal Family was the Supreme Wizard of Light, Volan.
During the great Holy War, Teglis managed to convince the Savior Ludwig of the necessity of spellcasters for war. This caused Ludwig to summon all spellcasters within the Empire. Volan responded and participated in the great Holy War as Teglis' apprentice. At this time, Volan was already several decades old. His magical talent allowed him to be born with the ability to control the Wind of Light. His careful control over the Wind of Magic ensured that he avoided corruption and depravity.
After the great Holy War, Tegris appointed Volan, who was almost a hundred years old, as the first Grand Wizard of the Royal Family and the Supreme Wizard of Light.
Veronica, who was wearing a bright red dress, and Teresa, who was wearing a black checkered leather jacket and pants, were following behind Tegris. The two witches were listening to Tegris's explanation very carefully.
The Royal Sorcerer Academy was divided into eight Sorcerer Academies, each of which represented the eight main Winds of Magic. The Academy of Light was hidden in a "Plane Crack" created by Tigris's Great Spell. It was a huge pyramid building with a translucent outer wall as pure as diamonds. The whole building flickered with the light of thousands of candles, which set off the solemn atmosphere of the Academy of Light.
In the deepest part of the Academy of Light, behind the maze-like tunnels and countless traps, was the 'Pyramid of Light'. The most precious treasures in the world were sealed inside, and at the same time, the most threatening Chaos creatures and artifacts were sealed. However, due to the fall and betrayal of the previous Supreme Wizard of Light, the Pyramid of Light was damaged to a certain extent.
"What a great building. I feel a strong sense of affinity in the academy." Veronica, the Light and Fire Witches, smiled and said, "It's very comfortable."
Teresa just shook her head. The sorceress was not used to this environment filled with the Winds of Light. She felt very uncomfortable.
Laing followed behind the other wizards. The Supreme Wizard of Light, Kant, and the Dean of the Academy of Light, Otto, were reporting the situation to Tegris. "I'm very sorry, Sir Tegris. Your seal was destroyed by Egrim van Horstman. We tried our best to save most of the treasures, but the traitor still escaped."
"Egrim?" Laing asked in confusion.
"Egrim, the previous Supreme Wizard of Light. He was once the smartest, most gifted, and most talented Wizard of Light." Emperor Karl-franz explained to Laing, "However, his excessive thirst for knowledge and power made him try to contact the God of Darkness. He relied on his status as the Supreme Wizard of Light to enter the Pyramid of Light and secretly read a forbidden book. After that, he completely degenerated into a believer of Tzeentch."
"At first, none of us realized that Egrim had become a believer of Chaos. He had been carefully hiding himself and secretly corrupted the entire Academy of Light. Until one day, Kant coincidentally discovered the corruption of his mentor, Egrim, and found out that half of the students in the academy had become believers of Chaos. At that time, Kant chose to ask the church for help. The Archbishop of the Church of Justice, 'Fortitude' Vickmar, gathered more than a hundred demon hunters and hundreds of combat priests into the Academy of Light. They completely defeated Egrim and his followers, but the traitor still escaped." Karl-franz shook his head regretfully. "Egrim called himself the 'Dark Lord' and established the Secret Society of Fallen Wizards."
"Another corrupted traitor."
The group walked into the deep and dark interior of the Pyramid of Light. Tegris waved his staff easily and opened the seal.
After walking through a long corridor, in the middle of a large wooden table surrounded by burning candles, there was a book. The book had a gray cover filled with blue stains.
"Back then, it was this book that caused Egrim to be corrupted and depraved." The Supreme Wizard of Light, Vospasian Kant, said to Tegris, "After that, we forbade others from reading this book."
"… The Book of Chaos." Tegris lowered his head and stared at the book. "No wonder."
"This book contains forbidden knowledge and secrets, revealing the truth of the world." Tegris lowered his head and looked at the book. He seemed to be thinking about something, then reached out to flip it. "The content of the Book of Chaos changes every day. Let me see what Egrim might have seen and why he was corrupted."
A hand reached out from the side and grabbed the Great Wizard's wrist. "Let me do it. I'm not afraid of this."
Tegris hesitated for a moment. He signaled everyone to step back. The Great Wizard chanted a spell and a powerful magic shield enveloped everyone. "Be careful."
Ryan slowly flipped open the book. The words in the book were in the Goth language.
He read softly, "A bloody time, an age of darkness. You mediocre people are just playthings in the hands of the gods.
"In the barren land, green evil waves sweep everywhere.
"In the darkness, the Lord of the Dead is plotting his return.
"In the center of the old world, Karl-franz, Emperor of the Empire, must turn the tide and prove that he is the true successor of Charlemagne.
"The recovery of the dwarves is just a shadow of the past.
"However, the fate of the world has long been decided. The last and most respected champion of the Chosen of Gods will be sent to the mortal world. Eichahn, the eternal Chosen of Gods, has already obtained five of the six Treasures of Chaos. His next stop …"
Laing was about to continue when the words on the book suddenly became blurry. The letters gradually turned into sludge filled with Chaos corruption. Laing's fingers were stuck to the sludge. Then, the champion of the Chosen of Gods found dozens of gray threads on the book binding his hands tightly. The terrible Chaos corruption was trying to use this as a medium to enter his body!
"This is?!"
