Sophia's call brought extremely complicated emotions. She was afraid that her conspiracy would arouse Thunder's wrath, so she subconsciously prayed that her judgment would be wrong. She also strongly hoped that it would be true and hoped that her father could rescue her from the hands of this abominable magician.
, no longer need to worry about being killed and silenced, no longer need to be a dangerous and painful "experimental assistant".
"Bayer" turned to look at her and nodded gently: "All conspiracies must be based on strength. Do you understand this truth now?"
He is actually Emperor Rudolf II, the legendary powerful man who is no weaker than the Grand Arcanist!
But his body is clearly Bayer's, how did he hide it from Nurembeck and other Sky Knights' inspection? Does he also have a transformation mask?
And his current aura doesn't seem to be legendary?
No matter what, facing a legend, Lucien was more nervous than ever before. His hormones were secreted crazily, his body was trembling slightly, but his brain became more awake. He reached into his storage bag and pulled out his right hand little by little.
Rudolf II glanced at Lucien and continued to stare at the statue. He looked at the air in front of him and said with praise and self-deprecation: "I didn't realize that there was a high-level magician sneaking in. Your disguise ability is very good."
Not bad."
Seeing that although his attitude was arrogant and defiant, there was no sign of being aggressive or about to take action. Lucien did not want to rush into the attack rashly. He was on high alert and tried to keep his voice steady: "I didn't notice you, Emperor."
"I started here and stepped into the unprecedented heights of the God's Family. Naturally, I have to find a time to come back and observe what else is hidden in the Plantagenet Family to determine the future direction. Unexpectedly, you appeared inexplicably.
I'm pleasantly surprised." Rudolph II straightened his back and put his hands behind his back. He looked straight at the statue of Thanos in front of him and said frankly, as if there was nothing to be afraid of and no secrets to hide.
Lucien was not as relaxed and relaxed as he was. Tension and fear made his muscles sore. It was difficult to maintain a good condition and be able to cope with changes that occurred at any time.
Hearing what Rudolf II said, Lucien was horrified: "Emperor, you also relied on fusing the devil's projection to become a legend?" This ritual effect is much more exaggerated than what he imagined!
Humph, Rudolf II sneered: "Am I as dark and wretched as Ulrich?"
"Stupid guys only see the benefits brought by merging the devil's projection, but people like me and Thanos are not affected by greed. We can discover the inner essence through superficial phenomena and find our own path."
"This world is destined to belong to people like us."
Arrogant, domineering and extremely confident, Rudolf II did not hide this at all.
Lucien savored Rudolf II's words carefully, and suddenly his heart moved: "Emperor, you are like the devils of greed, hatred, and pain, and you have pre-projected it into the heart or soul of Prince Bayer, so you can hide it from Jinque.
Duke Hua’s inspection. And when the critical moment comes, you can occupy and manipulate Prince Bayer’s body like a devil, and draw strength to grow?”
Rudolf II slowly turned his head and looked at Lucien seriously for the first time since he came in. Then he nodded slightly: "Very keen and very smart. Although there are some mistakes, that's basically it."
He did not point out where Lucien's guess was wrong, which may be related to a deeper secret.
Lucien's heart was filled with astonishment. What kind of path did Rudolf II take to actually turn himself into a "weird" existence that resembles greed, hates demons, but is not "evil" at all?
And if he knows this secret, will he be silenced by Rudolf II?
Under the slightly frightened tension, Lucien seemed to be able to hear the pounding sound of his heart, but this did not affect Lucien's thinking, judgment and determination. Even if there was no hope, he would not give up.
We will move forward courageously, work hard to create new hope, and never give in to fate!
His right hand stopped at the mouth of the storage bag, ready to be activated at any time.
Sophia, who was under the statue, stared blankly at her father's calm conversation with the mysterious magician. She didn't understand why this was happening for a moment. It wasn't until this moment that she came to her senses. Her father was not far away, and the legend was powerful enough to stay at this distance.
To protect himself, he cried in a shrill voice, full of grievance and hatred: "Father, he, he wants to kill me, and he makes me do extremely dangerous things, kill him quickly!"
This is the guy she hates the most in her life!
Lucien was frightened by her voice and almost lost control of her voice. Fortunately, he stopped abruptly and concentrated on Rudolph II's reaction.
Rudolf II glanced at Sophia lightly: "Don't you see? After I was projected on Bayer, I was only a seven or eight-level Sky Knight. How can I kill him? Are you sure you can survive when the power is affected?
Come down?"
Phew, Lucien almost spit on the face of Rudolf II who was opposite him. Can he say this bluntly? Is the Emperor really so magnanimous that he is almost cute in a different way, or does he want to use this to relax himself so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to attack?
If it's the latter, is it necessary?
"Originally, I was sure of killing you, but the nine-ring magic released by casting materials makes me a little afraid. Is it the latest achievement of the Magic Council?" Rudolf II continued his magnanimous style.
He didn't pay much attention to the pale justice in Lucien's hands. He was barely considered an epic knight. Even though the projection was only at level seven or eight, he didn't worry about being beheaded at all. Besides, he was not "evil"
As a creature, Pale Justice is only equivalent to the level of an eighth-level Heavenly Knight.
Rudolf II nodded thoughtfully: "My principles of doing things have always been simple. I am not very sure of killing you, so I chose not to do it to avoid causing Sophia and Bayer to be affected and die. However, if you are arrogant,
Big, if you have to fight, I don’t mind letting you know how powerful you are. My son or daughter can regenerate after death. If the projection is gone, the body will only be slightly injured. And you, can you afford such a loss? You are not a lich, either.
Not the Archmage. Sophia, come here."
Sophia raised her heart again and looked at Lucien fearfully, worried that he would go to extremes. At the same time, she slowly moved towards Rudolph II step by step.
Lucien weighed the pros and cons and combined with his judgment of Rudolf II's current situation, restrained his plan to hold Sophia hostage and threaten him.
Sophia finally moved to Rudolf II's side and truly relaxed, her eyes filled with tears, her legs became weak, and her whole body trembled with excitement.
"You made two mistakes in your plan this time. One is that you are not strong enough, or that you are not directly loyal to you. You have to rely on Miranda to clear the scene in the end, leaving your own safety in the hands of a partner who cannot fully trust you.
The second is that I chose to cooperate with Ulrich.”
"He is a poisonous snake that spits out its core. All the plans he makes are beneficial to him, but will not bring him too much danger. As for the safety of his partners, he does not consider it. About this
Point, you should learn from him. As a qualified conspirator, you should not be in the palace at this time, but in the basement outside, safe but pretending to be anxious to rescue."
"As for Miranda's pain at the end of her life being hidden and accumulated in this special underground palace, and then being triggered by Andris's extreme painful emotions, it is an unexpected change of things. It is not something you can think of in advance. You can only rely on Ur
Avoid Rixi’s methods in advance.”
Rudolf II actually opened his mouth to analyze Sophia's failure.
Sophia looked at him in astonishment: "Father, father. Don't you blame me? Don't you blame me for almost killing my brother? Don't you blame me for killing so many noble children?"
"Young griffins can only grow up among iron and blood." Rudolf II replied briefly, "But you must find a way to solve the problems you left behind."
Only then did Sophia understand. With her father's projection in advance, this conspiracy could not kill her brother Bayer at all. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look back at the mysterious magician in the center of the hall, and suddenly wailed in her heart, why did she
A carefully planned conspiracy will turn into a "kid's" game under the "supervision" of two "adults", although it is a "kid's" game in which many people died.
In their eyes, wouldn’t all of my previous actions be ridiculously childish?
Suddenly, the underground palace shook, and the magic circle fluctuated violently.
"The outside is about to be broken..." Rudolf II was distracted and looked up.
Sophia was filled with great joy. When the few heavenly knights outside come in, they can kill the damn mysterious magician! No, it is best to capture him alive. She must see his true appearance clearly and torture him!
This is the time! Lucien directly inspired the thing he held in his right hand before.
Although Rudolf II has not attacked him now, it does not mean that he really does not want to do it. When the underground palace opens, he may entangle himself. By then, Duke Plantagenet, Count Nurembeck and other heavenly knights will
If you participate in the siege again, you won't even have the possibility of escaping!
Sophia glanced at Lucien in the center of the hall with joyful eyes, but was shocked to see a scroll in his right hand light up, bursting out with rich darkness, seemingly breaking through the space barrier of the magic circle that was about to break!
Then, a chaotic sense of time and space distortion emerged, the black fog disappeared, and the mysterious magician also disappeared.
"Escaped? He could actually escape?" Sophia shook her head vigorously in disbelief.
Rudolf II narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered: "The vampire family travels through the night?"
As for the chaotic transmission that followed, he was not surprised at all.
Seeing that his daughter was still shaking her head in annoyance, Rudolf II turned around and said: "Go back to the outer layer. The existence here will continue to be hidden from Ulrich. I want to see what he will become in the end."
He didn't think about destroying this place because he would probably come here often to "observe" it.
"Yes." Sophia replied in despair.
Rudolf II's voice suddenly became cold: "But before that..."
He stretched out his right hand suddenly and grabbed Sophia with an inexplicable expression. While Sophia was stunned, he pulled out a twisted and strange black shadow from her body, a black shadow full of endless pain.
"The projection of the pain devil didn't really die, but still possessed me..." Sophia was unusually scared.
Rudolf II clenched his right hand, and the black shadow screamed and was compressed into a ball.
