The dark force is a forbidden word in this world. It not only represents the endless power of the underground world, but also represents a fearsome group living in the earthly world.
This group believes in rare evil gods, and hand over their life and soul to evil gods like devils, and obtain the ability to manipulate the power of darkness.
According to legend, they have more powerful power than ordinary mages, and they act more strangely, are characters that even more troublesome to ordinary mages.
Therefore, people are afraid of and escape from their existence, and sometimes they deliberately ignore their existence. No one likes to deal with a person who is always cold, not to mention that this cold person is still a terrifying monster.
However, everyone has desires, and people with small desires may be greedy for stability in life and the achievement of a certain dream, while people with great desires may want more, status, money, reputation... Dark mages are always born, and many ordinary mages with magic and talents have given their loyalty and soul to the evil gods, thus changing their positions to become mages with dark aura.
In this world, any mage is awesome, and the dark mage among them is the most special one in this group. They are the most fearful, and at the same time, they are unwilling to contact them. Their power is hidden in the darkness and rarely presented in the sun.
In the dark underground chamber, the smell of blood is filled with the air.
The altar stood in the middle of the room, and seven or eight people fell to the ground, and the gurgling blood overflowed and flowed to the ground.
Red lights up the power of magic.
In contrast to blood, the divine power permeates the air.
Under the divine power, a man kneeling on the ground trembled slightly, bearing this power.
After a moment, with a roar, the man in the gray cloak stood up panting.
His voice was calm and indifferent: "My Lord Ann, thank you for guiding me to gain the power of destruction and darkness... Level 5 Dark Mage!"
The man in gray raised his head, his hood faded back, and what was exposed was Roleke.
Hope Island, night is very quiet.
Apart from the sound of waves constantly slapping on the rocks outside the island, there is only the fearful rustling sound on the island of Hope.
At night, the port of Hope Port will be very quiet, and this is the curfew.
There is a construction site at the port terminal, with large amounts of stones piled up on it. Every day, stones will be moved here. After accumulating the quantity, they will be moved to the boat and then go to sea to transport these stones to distant places.
Because this batch of stones is of good texture and is a high-quality construction stone, and is expensive. In order to protect this batch of goods from being smuggled out by some people, the king specially issued an order, ordering a team of soldiers to guard the construction site until all the stones are transported on board and sent out.
"It's dark again!"
One of the soldiers looked at the sky lightly. The moon had risen and was illuminating the earth in a hazy way. However, when the faint light was a little far from the sky above the island, it became strangely dimming. It was another dark night. The soldiers lived in a temporary straw shed on the construction site. It was already very cold in winter, but they could only try to wear thicker and place the shed more comfortable. Amid the low complaints, they took turns guarding the construction site and fell asleep.
In this case, any unpleasant words and deeds are normal.
After all, who would be happy to do such a thankless hard work?
"Richard, aren't you sleeping?" asked the captain who had just returned from shift, looking at the soldier named Richard who was staring at the sky.
The weather was very cold at this time. Although the temperature on the island was higher than that on land, the night on the island was still very difficult.
Soldier Richard shook his head: "I don't want to sleep at all in this haunting place. You guys go to bed first, I'll be fine in a while."
"Well, too, this kind of broken place is cold inside and outside, cold and tide. It's such a ghost place! I'm really unlucky to come here. I can only hope that the batch of stones will be transported away quickly. It's really a troublesome thing." The captain stationed here shook his head and said.
Soldier Richard seemed to have asked casually: "Oh, I heard that the goods were shipped far away? Why, is there any business with other pirates on our island?"
"Shh! Don't mention any pirates or pirates. If those people hear it, your punishment will be indispensable. Now the kingdom has been built, everything is different, do you know?" It seems to be warning your subordinates, and it seems to be expressing injustice to yourself. "You must know that like us, the soldiers recruited after the kingdom will not be truly trusted by the superiors. Only those people are the people who can truly gain the trust of the superiors. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, I understand." Soldier Richard nodded and said respectfully.
The soldier captain sighed, then he entered the straw shed, and then some soldiers who came back from shifts entered one after another. After a while, there were bursts of snoring sounds coming from inside.
Outside the straw shed, soldier Richard looked at the stone field. From a distance, there were many figures patrolling, all of whom were on night shift today.
They had to perform the task assigned to them by the higher authorities.
Richard looked at no one around, walked towards a hidden place, pretending to be convenient, stuffed something into a crack in a rock, and after doing all this, he returned to the straw shed and went to bed.
The next morning, before dawn, a worker transported stones onto the boat, and an ordinary-looking worker took away such things when people didn't notice him...
A few days later, on the other side of the sea, on the other side, in the Lord of Glory Temple.
The new Archbishop Siuston was checking some of the previous secret reports, all of which were delayed due to the Fringe Forest incident, looking at the documents.
"Architect, new news is here." The priest came forward with a letter.
The letter is very simple, and only members of the Radiant Church can understand it. Seeing the above content, Archbishop Shiston raised his eyebrows in confusion.
This secret report comes from Hope Island, and is some information sent by some spies Anza inside. Most of them are useless, but one of them is information that attracted the attention of Archbishop Shiuston.
Viscount Tetasha, have trade deals with Hope Island?
This message was actually quite shocking to him. He really didn't expect that there would be a noble who was so bold that he would dare to secretly collude with pirates.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you have collusion with pirates, but the elves behind the pirates, then...
Trade with pirates means having trade with elves, and trade with elves means being enemies with the Lord of Glory!
Seven thousand years ago, the Lord of Glory had a divine metaphor, and all those who traded with the elves would be punished.
In an instant, Seuston's face became gloomy.
As the Archbishop of God, God’s will must be carried out, even if it is the divine parable seven thousand years ago, it must be carried out unconditionally as long as it is not abolished.
"Why, I know this message about you?" Xiuston sighed, not knowing, but there is nothing. I know, Xiuston must solve it, otherwise there will be a suspicion of violating the divine metaphor, which often means reduction or even loss of the divine grace.
He was determined to send someone to arrest him immediately. Thinking of Romon's identity at this time, he hesitated.
This is a border county. How powerful is the Tettashaw lord of Romon? He received a report about the army a few days ago. In this case, it would not be a wise choice to rashly arrest the lord of Tettashaw lord.
Of course, this reason is not enough to restrain the Archbishop.
However, Romon's wife is a fifth-level priest of the Goddess of Harvest and a preparatory bishop.
Romon's Knight Fafell is the favored by the God of War.
Recently, I received a report that Romon's knight Owenna has been fighting in the magic disaster area and has made many achievements, while Romon himself has also made many achievements in the magic disaster, and it is said that it is related to the royal family now.
Once such people take extreme measures, especially open means, they will often cause some conflicts with the royal family, the aristocratic class, the god of order behind them, and even the goddess of harvest and the god of war.
The current Lord of Glory is not the only one who was the only one who was 5,000 years ago. This practice is very taboo.
"How to do it?" Archbishop Siuston sat on a large chair, a little hesitant.
At this time, his confidant walked in. It was a high-ranking priest with very small eyes and a smile on his face. Seeing that the Archbishop was hesitant and seemed to be in a dilemma, he hurried over and asked, "Article, you are..."
"Well, look at this." He handed the secret report to the trusted subordinate.
After reading this confidant priest, he looked at the archbishop's expression and asked guessfully: "Article, are you worried that the people from Tetashau will resist?"
"Well, that's true, there are many other reasons. If I hadn't taken into account these things, I would have ordered the arrest of people long ago." Archbishop Shiston said: "Not only has a high reputation, he is also a viscount, a natural object protected by the God of Order. It is not easy to deal with this matter. Of course, the most important thing is that he did not trade directly with the elves, but with the newly established country and those group of human pirates, so it is not easy to convict... Tell me, what should I do?"
"Architect, if you violate the will of my Lord, contact the elves, you must be punished... I heard that Viscount Tetasha often goes out, so why not, while he goes out, we..." Without further ado, Archbishop Shiston already understood.
Archbishop Shiston thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "You are right. You must be punished when trading with the elves. This is a divine metaphor. Viscount Tatshaw, if you violate this, you must be punished! Go and arrange it and follow this plan."
