Chapter 515 Pre-Arranged Script
At the same time, Avis also figured out the whole process of the Sword of the King's Choice.
In fact, Marquis Draka accidentally discovered the traces left by the powerful spellcaster who stole the Sword of the King from the royal family during an exploration hundreds of years ago.
Based on these clues, Marquis Draka personally went deep into the ruins, broke through a series of defensive magics that were extremely strong even for the ninth level, and finally found the Sword of the King in the core of the giant instrument.
So, the ecstatic Marquis Draka immediately took the Sword of the King and used various methods to try to crack its secrets.
But to his disappointment, he spent nearly a hundred years and invested countless manpower and material resources, but the Sword of the King was still in a self-sealed petrified state.
If it weren't for the identification of the prophecy spell, if it wasn't for the fact that it couldn't be destroyed by any means below the ninth level, then Marquis Draka would probably really doubt that this thing was just an ordinary stone-carved long sword.
When he realized that he might not be able to do anything with it, Marquis Draka's mentality gradually began to change.
He knew that for thousands of years, the royal family had never given up looking for it.
If he chose to hand it over, the royal family would definitely give him a generous reward.
But after careful consideration, Marquis Draka was a little unwilling.
As a famous epic artifact, the royal family would never give a reward equal to the value of the Sword of the King's Choice. At most, they would only let him choose another ninth-level artifact as compensation.
It doesn't sound bad to exchange an unusable epic item for a ninth-level artifact.
But Marquis Draka didn't think so. In his opinion, this artifact should be able to play a greater role.
For example, let his title, which has never changed for nearly a thousand years, be raised again.
So, after a series of previous plans failed unexpectedly, he now secretly united with the prophet who were eager for a breakthrough, intending to use the Sword of the King's Choice as bait to re-provoke chaos in the empire.
In the whole plan, the ruins where the Sword of the King was originally stored became a natural trap.
Because it was really left by the powerful man back then, even if Avis had divined the ruins in advance, he could not detect the problem of the ruins.
As for the stone sword in the ruins, it was just a replica with the breath of the Sword of the King.
Under the careful arrangement of Marquis Draka, the entire arcane instrument has been connected to the self-destruction array of the ruins.
No matter what method the visitor tries to use to crack the core barrier, it will trigger the final defense command, causing the entire ruins to be instantly annihilated by the huge magic turbulence.
In the Marquis's plan, this step should cause the target to suffer severe damage instantly, but not to death, so that the plan can be carried out conveniently.
Therefore, the descendants of the four major families who are the targets should not be too strong or too weak.
Too high, uncontrolled accidents are prone to occur. And too low, the target may be killed instantly, and even the amulet will not be able to rescue it in time.
Except for the special accident of Avis, the other three were guided in advance.
Yasira Aslaide and Etno Alfred, who are at the peak of the seventh level, and Skarsa Enoch, who has recently broken through the eighth level.
The target of the Olivendi family was supposed to be Evan, who had just recently broken through the seventh level.
The reason why Anvis was able to learn about this unexpectedly was that, first of all, he was a high-level prophet and a foreigner of the last dragon, which naturally restrained prophecy spells.
Secondly, due to the special abilities of the last dragon, no one could have imagined that a fourth-level foreigner could actually track a sixth-level spellcaster.
Since it involved players, Marquis Draka had nothing to say. He was also very clear about the characteristics of prophecy magic that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't work for foreigners.
But this time his main target was not the Olivendi family, so Marquis Draka didn't care too much about this "harmless" accident, as long as the people of the Olivendi family were also involved in this incident.
After learning this information, Avis also had a doubt in his heart.
The theft of the Sword of the King of Choice occurred in the Golden Month of the 967th year of the Glorious Calendar, and this year is the 2462nd year of the Glorious Calendar, and less than two thousand years have passed in total.
For a ninth-level strongman whose initial lifespan is more than five thousand years, this is only a small half of their life, not to mention the various secret methods of prolonging life.
But now, Marquis Draka actually found the "relics" left by the other party?
Either the ninth-level extreme encountered some kind of accident, or there is some key information that Shadow does not know.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. Even if Shadow is loyal, he is only a subordinate responsible for executing the mission, and not everything is suitable to know.
"So... what can I do in it with Shadow's identity?"
After learning the true identity of the enemy behind the scenes, Avis suddenly had some ideas in his mind.
Marquis Draka must have his reasons for choosing this time to act. And now his biggest advantage is that he has "turned" an important figure of the enemy, and the enemy does not know it yet.
Then, this hidden chess piece must not be exposed in advance, otherwise it would be a waste.
Considering this, Avis decided to stay put for the time being and arrange for his clone to perform a scene for the other party according to the content of the other party's hypnosis.
So, in the next few days, the situation was perfectly played out according to the script carefully arranged by the Marquis.
A moment after Asira's death, the Aslaide family finally realized something was wrong. After confirming that Asira's life crystal ball had been broken, the ninth-level extreme dragon knight Sid Aslaide personally penetrated the space and descended to the place where Asira died.
But at this moment, the environment of the battlefield has been completely changed beyond recognition. All traces have been destroyed by the fire super-level magic [Earth Fire Burning City], and there are criss-crossing black gullies and lava flows.
Sid, who noticed the huge doubts, immediately invited the family prophet and predicted Asira's death.
The result surprised them. The Sword of the King Elect reappeared, Skarsa Enoch killed people and took treasures, and then destroyed the bodies.
After seeing all this, the furious Sid went directly to the Enoch family's clan land, and on the grounds that the other party violated the agreement between the four families, he strongly demanded that the other party hand over the Sword of the King Elect and the murderer Skarsa Enoch.
Facing the aggressive Sid, Talina Enoch, the ninth-rank [Silver Moon Traveler] of the Enoch family who is currently in the clan territory, came forward and confronted Sid. She claimed that he was deceived and that the Enoch family got only a fake.
The Enoch family was also confused about the whole story.
Before that, after the severely injured Skarsa returned to the Enoch family with the stone sword, he could not support himself and fell into a special mental sleep state, and is currently recovering slowly.
Before the family leaders figured out the specific cause of his injury, Sid came directly to him.
And the stone sword, in the hands of the ninth-rank of the Enoch family, has been verified to be a complete imitation with only the appearance and part of the aura.
Perhaps using it as a medium, it is possible to use secret methods to find the whereabouts of the real Sword of the Chosen King, but there is no need to tell Aslaide, who knows nothing about advanced magic, about such things.
