As we get closer and closer to Mohe City, the mountains that gradually rise on both sides gradually shrink the broad plain into a valley, and the road under our feet slowly changes from a flat and spacious avenue to a winding mountain road.
When Link and the others arrived at the center of the valley, they looked up and saw that the mountains on both sides had turned into cliffs. Not far ahead, two peaks slanted out, leaving only a narrow line in the sky.
, and Perigueux and Qi Yun were standing on the mountain tops sloping out on both sides, quietly waiting for their arrival.
At such a distance, even if Link and his friends have extraordinary eyesight, it is impossible to see clearly the two small figures on the top of the towering mountain at a glance. The reason why they were able to recognize Lin Perig so quickly
Following Qi Yun's sight, not only had they been prepared in their hearts, but also because both Perigueux and Qi Yun were now glowing with dazzling light. Under the blue sky and white clouds, they both still looked...
Extraordinarily bright.
The colorful rays of light around Perigord are layered upon layers, occupying almost half of the mountain top. It is not known how many layers of magic shields are blessed, and the unique light blue fighting spirit of Qiyun Paladin is reflected in him.
The surroundings were surging, as if a corner of the sea suddenly appeared on top of the mountain.
"Why are you so polite, Lord Perigueux? This is beyond the boundaries of the Fourth Military Council. Why are you so embarrassed to bring us all the way here?" Link and Earl Weir dismounted their horses together, slowly
He walked forward and Link greeted him warmly with a smile on his face: "But Lord Perigord, although you seem to have gained weight recently, your complexion is really not that good. I told you earlier.
You still have to pay attention to rest, and don’t work too hard during the day and night.”
"Humph!" Qi Yun couldn't help opening his mouth to curse, but when he saw Perigueux extending his hand to signal, he reluctantly held back and swallowed the anger bitterly.
Of course their faces were not good. After all these days of hard work, it would be surprising if anyone could look better! Even strong men like him and Perigueux were no exception.
Ever since Link and the others left Wiz City, they had hardly had a moment's rest in the past few days.
Choosing this place to take action was something they had already thought about when they were at Yorok Castle, and their original arrangement could ensure that Link and his party passed here according to their expected itinerary, but with the threat
There was such an incident in the city, but Perigueux and Qi Yun, who had just arrived here a few days early, felt quite unprepared.
According to the rules of the Sakala Empire, the strict hierarchical differences between various strata are embodied in all aspects including accommodation, transportation, etc. It is said that the roads connecting the two castles have different standards, except for
In addition to the official roads, there should also be several side roads for people with different identities to walk.
In a remote town like Wize City, of course, there is no ability or need to build more roads, but the rules still need to be followed, so the road leading to Fort Mohe is the only one that has been renovated.
Roads are also regarded as official roads that the poor cannot travel. If the poor want to travel between the two cities, they can only go through the mountains and find their own way.
Therefore, in the original arrangement of Perigord, there was no need to worry about Link and the others not taking this route. Not only Chippa but also the guards led by him would arrange the entire route, and with the things they brought with them along the way,
They had to carry cumbersome luxury goods, which basically meant that they would have no other choice. When they were at Fort Jolloch, Perigueux insisted that they take these things with them on the road. Of course, there was no reason for this in the first place.
The noble status of the princess only hindered their group, making it impossible for them to deviate from the official path.
But he never thought that Link would cause such an incident in Wize City. Not only did the city lord of Wize City detain Zipa, but he also took the guards and all the responsible persons into custody.
All the tired things were left in Wize City. After Zipa and Zipa learned the news through their unique communication method, Perigueux felt dumbfounded at the time.
Originally, when he was at Yorok Castle, he felt that Link was a bit unpredictable. Even if Link was aware of their plot and noticed something was wrong, Lord Perigo would not feel wrong.
What's strange is that he has always felt that this matter is unlikely to have any impact on his plan.
There are corresponding regulations and rituals for the reception of such envoys sent by foreign countries. This is certain. However, who is responsible for the reception and protection is entirely the power of the Saqqara Empire. For
In this aspect, members of foreign missions have no position to interfere. Therefore, Lord Perigo has always believed that as long as Chippa does everything according to the rules, even if Link has obvious suspicions, he will have no excuse at all.
After replacing Zipa as the guard captain, he never expected that Link would actually prepare such a trap, and Zipa actually fell into it so clumsily.
The message Zipa gave him only contained the simplest briefing on the situation. Until now, Lord Périguet has not yet figured out what kind of incident in Wize City involved a situation that would give him a headache. Of course, he had no idea at all.
There was no time to understand this matter. Almost at the same time when they received the news from Qipa, Lord Perigo and Paladin Qiyun got busy and started talking.
Without Zipa, the most important messenger, they could no longer keep track of Link's progress. This was bad enough, but what was even worse was that Link and his group were in Wize City.
After almost throwing away all their burdens, just when they left Witzburg, Lord Perigo discovered that Link and his group's route had changed a lot compared to the previous arrangement.
Mr. Rigg couldn't even see clearly which direction this group of people wanted to go. Under such circumstances, Mr. Rigg couldn't be sure at all whether they would follow their own route.
.
The worst thing is that after passing this place, there is Mohe Fort. If they want to take action, they will inevitably have to face the escort troops of the 11th Military and Political Council at the same time. These troops may not have strong combat effectiveness.
But the advantage is that there are many people. If only one or two escape, there will be endless troubles.
Of course Perigueux had good reasons for choosing to take action in this place that seemed to be very passive to him. However, the current situation is obvious that if he is not careful, he will let Link and the others follow some mountain path first.
When we arrived at Mohe Fort, this reason became the biggest joke.
Therefore, from the moment they received the news from Qipa, Lord Perigo and Qi Yun used the fastest speed to scan the area, searching for things like fighting spirit detection and magic traps that would consume their abilities.
, placed everywhere desperately, in order to ensure that no matter which direction Link and the others went, they would eventually be forced to reach the battlefield of their choice, and just when they finally shed their skins, they finally
All these things were arranged, and when I hurried back after exhausting work, I was very depressed to find that Link and the others were back on the official road, riding horses, chatting, and leisurely walking along the road.
Walking in their direction along the road, it seemed that he never had any intention of taking a detour, but he and Qi Yun had already consumed less than half of their strength.
Under such circumstances, it would be really crazy if Perigueux and Qi Yun's faces could improve.
"I won't say any more nonsense." Perigo was not in the mood to exchange false greetings with Link now, and said with a cold face: "Since you have expected that we will appear here, it should be
Do you know what we want?!"
Seeing the unsurprised expressions of Link and the others, and considering the time when this guy used the trap in Wisdom City, and their performance in the past few days, Lord Perigo was reluctant, but he had to
Admitting that his plot was probably seen through by this kid early on, even in the past few days, he and Qi Yun have fallen into the trap of this hateful kid. He turned around without using any strength.
After looking around at the landscape, Qi Yun and I worked hard and exhausted. It was like the situation of activeness and passiveness was reversed.
"Originally, I always thought that the economy of the Sakala Empire was pretty good." Link looked surprised and turned to Earl Weir and said, "It seems that this time when I go back, I want to advise the Emperor of our Bavarian Empire.
, we must provide more assistance to the Sakala Empire, otherwise the dignified ministers and paladins of the Sakala Empire have to work part-time as bandits to make extra money, and it will not look good on the mainland nobles when word spreads!
"
"Damn boy, what did you say?!" Qi Yun was furious and shouted loudly: "Believe it or not, I will tear you apart immediately!"
"Link, I don't want to spare you, I just don't want to attack a girl." Perigo reached out his hand to stop Qi Yun again. He said with a stern face: "Hand over the Eyes of the Gods, and I will let you go."
You go, this is your last chance, here, I am absolutely sure to keep you all!"
He has now determined that Link, who is just a trainee knight on the surface, is actually the core of the entire Bavarian Empire envoy. Count Weir and the little princess seem to be acting according to his wishes, so they speak accordingly
They were also straightforward, and he believed that Link should also know about the "Eye of the Gods".
"Okay, isn't it just the Eye of the Gods?" Link's answer shocked everyone present: "It's just a small matter, Lord Perigo, but there are some big things. I have long wanted to follow him.
You talked about it!”
"We have nothing to talk about." Link's words were obviously completely unexpected by Lord Perigord. He was obviously stunned for a while before he said: "Hand over the Eyes of the Gods, and then
Get out of here before I regret it!"
Lord Périguet had never thought that Link would react like this. In his mind, when he heard himself making such a request, these members of the Bavarian Empire envoy should have spoken harshly and shouted in anger.
Drinking and scolding is considered a normal thing.
In fact, he never thought that Link and the others would really listen to him and hand over the Eyes of the Gods so obediently. The reason why he just talked so much nonsense with Link and the others several times
After stopping Qi Yun, he immediately started to attack, just because he had exhausted too much energy in the past few days and wanted to take this opportunity to recover first.
Although the Magister can be regarded as a strong man of the same level as Qi Yun, the Holy Knight, at least in terms of physical fitness, he cannot compare with Qi Yun. For Qi Yun, who once had a fight with someone and stayed up for three days and three nights.
For a battle madman who keeps recording, maybe what he has done in the past few days is just to consume some of his fighting spirit. However, for a magician like Perigo who does not pay attention to physical training.
To be honest, the stress that running around in the past few days has put on his body is far greater than the loss of magical energy, and Link and the others have grasped the timing of their appearance so well that it was almost as if he was still breathing.
It suddenly occurred to me that in the few conversations with Link just now, Lord Perigo had tried his best to disguise himself, otherwise he would still be breathing heavily.
But now that Link says this, Lord Perigo doesn't want to talk anymore.
After the experience of the past few days, Lord Perigueux has deeply realized the ability of the trainee knight in front of him to deceive people. Judging from his calm appearance, he suddenly carried out the plan he had arranged for a long time.
They were all in disarray. Not only were the guards led by Chippa now detained in Weize City and unable to help him at all, they also used it to trick him and made him work hard for several days. Until now,
Not finished breathing yet.
In the eyes of Lord Perigord, Link belongs to the kind of demon-level character with horns on his head and a tail trailing behind his back. So now that Link wants to talk to Lord Perigord, Lord Perigord
His intuition is that this guy is preparing some trap for him to fall into. So weighing the two aspects, he would rather choose to take action immediately before he has rested, rather than let this guy say anything more deceptive.
Come on.
"Lord Perigue, your dialogue is so cliché, should I say something next?" Link shrugged helplessly, then changed to an impassioned expression and shouted: "You want us to bring the gods together
Hand over the eyes, stop dreaming, come and get it yourself if you have the ability!"
After he met Lord Perigueux, his words were not very polite. It was not that he deliberately wanted to anger Lord Perigueux and Qi Yun. It was just that he understood that it would be inappropriate for things to develop to this point anyway.
Problems that can be solved with just words.
Even if he and the Earl of Vere had a rough consensus on their attitude towards Lord Perigueux, they still had to wait until they had finished this fight first and showed that they could match Perigueux and the others.
After gaining strength, it is possible for both parties to sit down and talk.
After going through so many things, Link has long understood that no matter when, the status between countries and between people is determined by strength. Before they can prove their strength,
, Périgueux and others would not treat them on an equal footing.
After all, this is not the Bavarian Empire, and neither the noble status of the little princess nor Count Weil can bring much weight to them. Even because their envoys have a special mission this time, their status is likely to be
become a burden.
"Hmph! Spear of Wrath!" Master Perigo probably really thought that Link's reaction was normal, so he didn't say any more nonsense and directly reached out to catch it in the void. The strength of the eighth-level magician was displayed.
A spear made of pure flames appeared in his hand.
"This kid is mine!" Qi Yun, who was on the side, could no longer hold back any longer. When he saw Periguet taking action, he couldn't hold back anymore. The blue fighting spirit flashed, and his whole body turned into a sky-blue light.
It was like Link rushed over.
He had been holding back the thought of punishing this boy Link severely. He had been holding back the thought for a long time since the battle at Jolok Castle. Now that he finally got such an opportunity, how could he let Perigo take the lead?
.
Now that he saw Perigo taking action with the seventh-level magical spear of anger, he was really afraid that this guy would be dealt with by accident.
"Qi Yun Paladin", Count Weir shouted loudly, raised the knight's sword in his hand, and flew towards the Qi Yun Paladin who rushed towards him: "Your opponent is me!"
"Go away!" Qi Yun didn't put this golden knight in his eyes at all. With a wave of his hand, he released a burst of sky-blue fighting spirit and rushed towards Count Weir's figure.
He has extremely rich combat experience, and he has fought against Count Vere's father, the former head of the Gurkant family. As early as the first meeting at Jolok Castle, he could already detect the fighting spirit in Count Vere's body.
The newly stabilized Golden Knight's basic level is really not enough for him to be considered an opponent.
However, just when the fighting spirit he exerted was about to hit Earl Weir, a golden light suddenly flashed, and Earl Weir's golden fighting spirit exploded. The whole person's whereabouts actually changed at this moment. Not only did he avoid
After passing Qi Yun's blow, and strangely circling behind Qi Yun, the knight's sword, after bursting with acceleration, was filled with golden fighting spirit and pointed directly at the weakest point in Qi Yun's fighting spirit shield.
Even with Qi Yun's ability as the Paladin, he would never dare to take Weir's blow without dodging in such a situation.
"Interesting!" Qi Yun exclaimed in surprise, and suddenly stopped his forward movement in mid-air, moved sideways, and came face to face with Weir.
Almost at the same time, the Spear of Fury in Earl Weir's hand came out, and the attack power of the seventh-level magic finally exploded in mid-air.
