Before Gordon finished speaking, he saw Lucien suddenly split into two, one on the left and one on the right. He used "Simulacrum" again, and then two more figures appeared on the two Luciens, a total of four.
Lucien was very far apart, watching himself. This was because both Lucien himself and the "simulacra" used mirror images.
It's really troublesome to fight a mage. Gordon has no items that can cast magic or divine spells such as True Seeing. He can only grit his teeth and turn them into silver-gray sword light, relying on the knight's intuition to attack. Moreover, the Sky Knight of this level has many means of ranged attacks.
But before he could rush out, he suddenly heard Lucien whisper:
"Call for support."
As he spoke, his monocle lit up with a faint light.
support?
Gordon's heart sank. There were archmages or other high-level magicians nearby. Although he suspected that Lucien was bluffing, this was Rentat, and nearby was Arlinge, which has the highest density of magicians in the world.
In this place, the Magic Council has quite a lot of manpower when it comes to action.
Thinking again of Cardinal Salde, who faced the Pope's crown, Gordon suddenly lost the desire to fight. The sword light he threw forward made a clever arc and flew away in another direction.
As soon as he flew out, the color around him quickly faded, leaving only lifeless black gray, and his whole body froze in mid-air, like a small insect in amber.
Nine-ring magic, "time stops"!
In mid-air, the figure of Morris appeared. Since the situation was going smoothly, there was even a spectacular scene of "divine descent" versus "divine descent" - anyway, if it didn't happen to me, it could be regarded as a classic.
He came to enjoy the opera, so he was in a good mood. He looked at Lucien with his silver-grey eyes and said, "How do you know I'm nearby?"
"The Pope and Salde have gone to an altitude of 10,000 meters, so I think it's time for Sir Maurice and you, the Holm royal family, to come in." Lucien would not say that he was indeed deceiving Gordon.
Although Lucien has always believed that after "calling for support", within thirty seconds at most, Lord Maurice and other archmages and high-level magicians will come to help, but he doesn't think it will be effective immediately. However, if it can be scared away directly
Gordon, then you have saved thirty seconds. If not, you still have the magical strength of the seventh ring after being suppressed. Even if you don't use the Sky Knight to transform and use your left hand, you are afraid that you won't be able to sustain it for half a minute?
Even if Gordon has the "Angel Coming" possession and the "Heaven on Earth" enhancement, reaching the level of a ninth-level golden knight, Lucien still believes that the weird and unpredictable magic can help him resist for at least one minute, not to mention that he still has
There is a nine-ring scroll "Ultimate Destruction Sphere" and two tubes of "solid helium" that can cast the "Whip of the Snow Goddess".
The only thing I didn't expect was that Mr. Morris came so quickly. It seemed that his primary target was also the control center of the magical barrier.
Seeing that there seemed to be light slowly blooming in Gordon's body, weakening the effect of stopping time, Morris put away his smile and told Lucien: "You go to the control center, and I will deal with him. After all, he is also the Holm royal family.
It is easier for others to accept the death of a member of my family."
Lucien did not hesitate, and the four figures rushed towards the control center. He was silently grateful for the thorough "plan", otherwise he would not have been able to break through Gordon's blockage so easily.
Of course, Lucien also understood that the person arranged by Salde to control the center of the magical barrier could never be Gordon. On the contrary, Gordon should be his candidate for King Holm to appease the nobles after he killed Natasha.
·The one who should appear here is the "Heart of Time" Ctonia!
However, when he directly encountered the Pope, how "loyal" was Ctonia to die for him? Not to mention that there was a "Night Walker" Winston who would stop him.
In a nearby palace, Winston, who had two mustaches, stood seemingly relaxed by the floor-to-ceiling window, and said to Ketonia beside him: "Sard is facing the Pope directly. Even if he has the magic of divine descent as his trump card,
At most, we will die together, Lord Ketonia, are you going to take action against me?" Because Ketonia is the epic hero who founded the Kingdom of Holm, and is the legendary third-level Winston, who only became a legend nearly a hundred years ago.
The "little guy" was very respectful in his words.
"Even if you want to betray the enemy and clear away the suspicion of heresy by making meritorious deeds, you should wait and see how the situation develops and see how much strength His Majesty the Pope has left after overdrafting the God's Descendant."
The last sentence was almost exactly what Ketonia said to Winston before. As if with the vicissitudes of time, he looked outside in silence, watching Lucien begin to crack the defense layer outside the magical barrier control center——
The renovation here involves the epic knights who guard the place. Lucien was afraid of arousing Salde's alert, so he didn't make any plans here.
Then, he sighed, turned around and walked deeper into the thickly carpeted room.
Winston smiled and said nothing, looking at Lucien outside again, considering whether to quietly help him and save everyone's time.
Suddenly, he found that everything around him slowed down, as if he had fallen into a muddy swamp.
A sword flashed, but failed to hit Winston. He emerged from another shadow, his whole figure like a shadow in the dark night.
"Your Excellency Ketonia, you..." Winston looked at Ketonia with a determined expression and said. Fortunately, he was always vigilant and never let down his guard.
Ketonia sighed softly: "There are some things that you can't turn back after you do them."
"Although I have never been able to find a way to advance to the third level, I should still be able to stop you, Lord Ketonia, for a long time. Are you sure you won't wait any longer?" Winston believed that even if Ketonia could break through, outsiders
The situation should have reached a point where he could not reverse it, so he tried to give the final persuasion. If he had to, and his heart was biased towards the Magic Council, he was unwilling to face up to his many "hearts of time"
Fighting.
Ketonia shook his head and said: "You and I are both knights, and we both know the firmness of our will. I know that hope is slim, but we must try to grasp it instead of standing here waiting for the end. Even if we die, we must die there.
battlefield!"
A fierce battle broke out between the two, and both were pulled into the "heaven on earth".
Since the epic knights' battle requires more space, they quickly broke through the magical defense and fought in mid-air.
Natasha, who was wearing silver-gray armor and a golden crown, inserted the Sword of Truth on the podium in front of her, looked around the hall with her crystal clear eyes, and said in a majestic and resonant voice:
"A head-on battle broke out between the Church and the Magic Council, and it's time for us to make a decision."
"Should we follow the church to eradicate evil and return to the situation at the beginning of the North-South schism, or should we help the Magic Parliament to drive out the radical church faction and return our faith directly to the Lord, which is the religious reform advocated by Cardinal Richard, which will separate the schismatic church
Integrate with us?"
"If we choose the former, the Magic Council will most likely flee to the depths of the endless ocean after suffering certain losses. At that time, we will be facing the front line of the Magic Council. I believe that the church will also have to rely on us. Coupled with the existence of the northern heresy, the new
The balance will be achieved."
"If the latter is chosen, the Magic Council will also have to rely on us and the splintered moderate sects to fight against the church. This is also a new balance, and there is no need to worry about assassinations by radical clergy and night watchmen, and the situation will return to a fairly calm state."
"The key to victory in the battle lies in our hands. What is your choice?"
At this point, Natasha paused deliberately, and the nobles present understood what Her Majesty the Queen meant. The terrifying battle scene outside also reminded them that everything was real. Likewise, they knew very well that no matter which side they chose, as long as it was the winning side.
, they can protect the interests of themselves and others. The only requirement is that they don’t find themselves on the losing side after taking sides, so they have to wait and see how the situation changes.
At this time, Duke Rex, wearing a white hairband, stood up and spoke in a deep and deep voice: "Your Majesty the Queen, we are all the Lord's people. There is no need to doubt our faith. Since we can all obtain a new balance, we can all
To protect your interests, why not choose the church? Why mix with evil magicians?"
More than half of the conservative nobles nodded. This was their true inner thoughts. Even many of the liberal nobles could accept magicians and cooperate with them to make money. However, when the overall situation changed, they would abandon them without hesitation.
The scene fell silent for a moment. Duke James clenched his fists and stood up suddenly: "I object. If you follow the church, aren't you worried about being assassinated by the radical night watchmen? Will they allow alchemy workshops, magic phones, and crystals?
The existence of things like lights and radios? Do you want to go back to the country bumpkin status of the past?"
Although Natasha had not communicated with him in advance, Duke James's cooperation with the Magic Council was to an extent that outsiders could not imagine, and he knew Her Majesty the Queen's true tendencies. Thinking of the anger of almost dying at the hands of the Cursed Angel, he quickly did something
A decision was made.
Natasha nodded with satisfaction. She was worthy of being among the liberal faction, and was called a trustworthy person by both the Magic Council and Lucien.
With Duke James's speech, many enlightened nobles also expressed their position, but they also cunningly expressed their respect and acceptance of the final decision.
In order not to waste time, Natasha pressed down her right hand to stop the argument:
"Let me say a few words first."
"Song of Dusk" Yourcenar stood in the hall of the House of Nobles, listening to the "live broadcast" of the Holm meeting with the king and all the noble members, listening to Natasha explaining the situation, analyzing the two situations, listening
The nobles briefly quarreled.
"If it's just to this extent, we still can't be convinced, just rely on the final change of the situation." Yourcenar whispered to the other nobles, the two new balances, nobles with normal brains can think of them, not Natasha's
Creation, and for the nobles who are accustomed to balance, the most important thing is to stand on the side of the winner.
A noble next to him nodded and said: "Compared to magicians, I still think clergy are more trustworthy. Those magicians inherited from ancient times give people a bad impression, unless there are irresistible benefits."
In the Kingdom of Briana, in the Kingdom of Camelot, and in the coastal corridor of Northland, Void Hammer, Calamity Knight, Burning Lady, and Life Reaper all expressed the same view.
While the two epic knights of the Void Hammer were still paying attention outside, Brooke had already solved Bifur, took Holt into the magic tower of the Song of Silver Moon Alliance, and went to Alin through the pre-arranged gate to the other world.
Return.
They are important weights that influence changes in the situation.
"Unable to locate Arlinge..." Brooke frowned slightly. Through the prophecy spell, he roughly understood what kind of barrier Arlinge was shrouded in, so he decided to return to the outskirts of Rentat City through a space jump.
Since the Kingdom of Buriana and the Kingdom of Holm are not far apart, it only takes a few minutes for Brooke to fly at full speed, so the space jump only takes more than ten seconds.
Over the ruins of the Glorious Cathedral, Fernando, who was suppressed, and Hathaway and Douglas, who suppressed others, communicated with each other. It's time! We must get there before the Pope returns!
