Chapter 155 Allies Are Cheated

Volume 20, Chapter 155: The alliance was all cheated

Because of the air raid, the city defense of the royal capital suddenly became extremely tense. After we flew out of the sight of the royal city guards, we used the flying ability of the spear to make a big detour, staying close to the height of the treetops. He circled half a circle around the royal city, and then approached the royal capital from another direction using a ground mount. 【】

Sure enough, this arrangement really saved a lot of trouble, because the direction we came back in was different from the direction we left from the air, so the city guards here were not very strict in checking. Of course, we hung The professional badges he wears also play a big role. After all, that thing has a star symbol representing the professional level, and our badges are all a large circle of stars, which made the guards break out in cold sweat.

After entering the city, the old mage didn't waste any time and took us directly to see the person in charge of the appraisal office in the royal capital. The fortress city we were in before was used as a frontline base to resist the Dark Alliance, and its administrative level was quite high. Being able to serve as the person in charge in that kind of place, the old mage's status would naturally not be too low. With his status, it was naturally very easy to meet with the person in charge of the headquarters, so we didn’t even need to report the matter. We just said hello to the guard and went in directly. Moreover, when the person in charge of the headquarters saw the old mage, they all greeted him. Saluting, it was obvious that most people knew him. After all, he did not wear a badge or other identification, but those people looked very respectful. This only meant that they knew him and knew about him. his status.

Following the old mage, he smoothly entered the backyard of the laboratory headquarters. There is a building here that is much lower than the mage tower in the front yard. However, although the height is lower, the area is much larger, just because it is not used. Compressed space technology, so the actual volume is still not as large as the Mage Tower. Of course, generally speaking this is considered a very large building.

After entering the building, we followed the old mage all the way to the top floor of the building. Completely different from the floors below, the end of the stairs on this floor is a square space instead of a corridor. There is a counter on both sides of this space. On one side, a girl is sitting on the table writing something, and on the other Behind the table on one side were four warriors who were playing a card game together. Of course, they stood up immediately when they saw us appearing, but after seeing the old mage, three of them sat back down. Only one person came over.

"Vice President, why are you back?"

I had long guessed that this old mage's status was not low, but I didn't expect that he was actually the vice president of the laboratory. It seemed that I had underestimated his level before.

The old mage smiled at the guard, then pointed at us and said, "I found some special friends. They need the president's help with something."

Although the leader had paid careful attention to us before, he was not prepared to prevent us from making a move. Now after hearing what their vice-president said, he remembered to take a serious look at our appearance. As a result, after taking a look, he immediately saw the professions hanging on our chests. Badge, so he immediately couldn't help but gasped. It's just a dual profession of magic and combat, but it's still a dual god level. What's even more terrifying is that all of us are at this level, which is quite scary.

"Vice President, where did you find so many talented people?"

"Hey, what a surprise." This guard seemed to have a high status, otherwise the old man wouldn't have talked nonsense with him for so long. However, after saying this, he politely stopped the conversation and led us to the front of the stairs. There were two knocks on the front door.

"Stop knocking. I smelled your scent as soon as you got downstairs." The door opened automatically in a few words. A huge desk was facing the door, but it was at least 100 meters away from the door. Thirty meters away. Needless to say, hyperspace technology is used again here.

When the old man saw that the door was open, he stopped being polite and directly waved us in. Then the door automatically closed behind us.

This room is more suitable for a library than an office. Except for the straight passage from the desk facing the door to the door, which is an open area, there are rows of neat shelves extending out on both sides of the door. Apart from the desk, they are everywhere in the room. It feels like a private library.

"Huh? Who are these...?" The president who had been sitting behind the desk had never raised his head and looked here before. It was obvious that he was quite busy at work, but when we got closer, he clearly felt something. No, so he looked up and found that besides his vice president, there were actually a few people following him.

"Hello, we are travelers from a far away place. If possible, we hope to meet the king." I said this before the old mage, mainly because I wanted to see what kind of person this president was. After all, if the old mage said it himself, the president would definitely consider the other party's face first, and then consider other things, so I can't be sure of his true feelings about us.

The old mage next to us glanced at me and then said nothing. His main task was to introduce us. Originally, he wanted to say something for us, but since I got there first, he didn't speak again.

The president opposite us glanced back and forth between us with great interest for a long time before nodding to me. "Although I haven't figured out your purpose yet, I think that at this time, you coming here will not be any disadvantage to the king."

"You are very observant," I said aloud.

"No, this is not a matter of observation, but because of your aura." The president did not pretend to be sophisticated, he directly told the truth of the matter. It turns out that he doesn’t know how to look at acquaintances, it’s just because he sensed the obvious dark aura around us.

Among the four of us, Shi Zheng, the son of the night, is a necromancer, and Hong Yue is a standard black mage. As for me, let alone me. After all, even my dragon soul suit is now classified into the classification of the underworld holy clothes. , which shows how pure the dark aura of our bodies is. In comparison, Sakura Rain God Hina is the only one among us with a light aura. However, she is not purely a light attribute, but also has bloodthirsty and violent attributes under the light attribute. It can be said that She is a killing angel. Although she is an angel, she cannot be classified as an ordinary angel.

The president himself is a very powerful mage. Although he is still not comparable to us, his strength is at least enough for him to feel our aura. It was precisely because he felt the aura of our body that he determined that we would not have any bad intentions towards the king. After all, the divine power of the Holy See of Light is competing with the royal power here, and the Holy See of Light and all people with dark attributes are Natural enemies. According to the view that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, it can be said that the king and we should be regarded as natural allies. In the past, the king would secretly fund and protect the necromancers because of this idea. After all, necromancers are also people. The king funded them, so they can't bite back? Isn’t that a mental illness? Coupled with the hostility between the Temple of Light and the Necromancer, it is only natural that the King protects the Necromancer.

It is precisely because the president knew the king's point of view that he immediately relaxed his vigilance after knowing that we were combatants with dark attributes.

Compared with the old mage who brought us here, the president here is actually younger, so he still has some personality traits of young people, such as being more vigorous and resolute in doing things. After agreeing to our request, this man didn't prepare anything. He just put the things in his hands on the table and asked the old mage to help him. Then he came over and asked us to go to the palace together.

To be honest, I didn't expect this man to believe us so easily. I originally planned to have a good talk with him, but it was all in vain, and he actually dragged us directly to the palace.

Since the Professional Appraisal Institute can secretly help the king fund and help necromancers, it can be seen that this department actually has a very high-level department. It is precisely because of this that the president of the Professional Appraisal Institute actually enjoys very high treatment in the palace. No one at the three outermost lines of defense in the royal city asked him, and even the guards who looked like we were obviously strangers didn't ask too many questions. Of course, this state cannot be maintained forever. Finally, at the fourth line of defense, guards finally came out to intercept us. Although they still had extraordinary respect for the president, they stopped us.

The president probably knew that it was impossible to bring us in directly, so he told the guards that we were important guests and asked them not to act rashly. At the same time, he told us to wait here first, and then he entered the defense line alone. Went inside to meet the king.

I don’t know if it is because of the pressure brought by theocratic power that the country’s royal power system has a huge sense of crisis. Anyway, the country’s royal power system does not have the sluggishness of ordinary bureaucracies at all, and the processing speed of all affairs is astonishingly high. Less than five minutes after the president entered, he saw a mage in robes running out with two chamberlains to inform the king to let us in. The guards immediately let us go after seeing the token presented by the other party. After all, they were only fulfilling their obligations and did not really think that we were intruders. After all, the identity of the president of the Professional Appraisal Institute was displayed there, and no one would think so. He has rebellious intentions. i

The mage who greeted us looked older than the old mage who brought us to the royal capital. He might be over eighty years old to the naked eye, and this was still an uncertain number. After all, according to general rules, practicing The life of a strong man in magic will be extended, but this guy has still aged like this, which shows that his actual age is probably more than eighty years old.

Although he seems to be quite old, this person's spirit is surprisingly good, at least much better than the old mage who brought us here. As soon as we were introduced into the defensive line, he immediately began to lead the way and said: "Are you really from other places?"

I asked in confusion: "Is this weird?"

"That's not true. I just heard that you found the appraisal center on your own. Speaking of which, you professionals with such a strong dark aura are walking so openly on the street. Aren't you afraid of the Temple of Light?"

"Are you talking about those knights in silver armor?" Hongyue asked.

The old mage said: "That is the Knights of Light, the main fighting force of the Temple of Light, but there are even more powerful experts in the temple."

Hongyue nodded and said, "No wonder, it turns out they are miscellaneous soldiers."

The old mage seemed to understand the meaning of Hong Yue's words, and then looked at us in surprise and asked: "Have you had any conflicts with people from the Knights of Light?"

I took over Hongyue's words and admitted: "We found a village in the forest on the way here. At that time, all the people in the village had been killed. According to our observation, the people in the village were ordinary civilians. And massacring a village is considered a violation of moral standards even among members of the dark system, so we feel that those who attacked the village must be bad people."

"You won't just chase them and argue with them?" The old mage looked surprised.

"In fact, we thought that the people who could do such a thing were already crazy, so we had no intention of negotiating with them and just killed them all."

"You killed all the members of the Knights of Light? How many people were there at that time? A small team?" the old mage asked in surprise.

"I don't know their organization, but there are more than two hundred cavalry in that team."

After hearing this number, the old mage looked at us in surprise for a long time before asking: "Where did you kill those people?"

"Just outside the city beyond the forest."

"Forest? You mean the endless sea of ​​trees?"

"I don't know what that place is called, but the woods over there are really beautiful."

"That should be the endless sea of ​​trees." The old mage said: "If it is over there, there is no problem. Anyway, the Temple of Light is often attacked there. It just lost a knight brigade at a time. There is really no movement." The old mage said Bian just finished speaking and suddenly said: "But did you survive at that time?"

"There were two left, but they didn't see us in person. They only saw the attack and the zombies summoned by my friends. The four of us were not in their sight from the beginning to the end."

"That's good. As long as you don't see it, there's no big problem." After saying this, Old Magic suddenly remembered the king's summons and said quickly: "By the way, we'd better hurry over and don't keep His Majesty the King waiting."

When we hear the word king, the image that pops up in our minds is a short, fat man with a height of 1.6 meters, a weight of 160 kilograms, and a golden crown on his head. However, the king who finally came into our sight took us a little by surprise.

First, this king is not only not short at all, but also a bit tall. With a height of more than 1.9 meters, all of us had to look up at him. Secondly, the king's weight is not as exaggerated as 160 kilograms. In fact, his figure is quite good. He looks just like the governor, full of power. The third thing is this person’s appearance and age. I originally thought this would be an old man with a crooked melon and a cracked jujube, but what I saw was a sunny boy. Yes, he is a sunny boy. Their so-called King is only twenty-two years old now, and he looks particularly young. With his shiny blond hair and that sunny baby face, he is really a plus-size lady.

Probably the chairman of the laboratory had introduced the strength of several of us to the king before, so the other party did not sit down and show off, but immediately extended his hand to greet us as soon as we entered the room. But to be honest, considering his height, I would actually rather have him sit there and pinned up.

"Are you the senior professionals my secret intelligence officer said?" The other party came over to us and asked us very enthusiastically.

Hongyue and I both bowed slightly to him as a salute, and then said straight to the point: "Hello, Your Majesty the King, I think you have heard the report from your subordinates about our origin and strength, so we Don’t waste any more time at this point. We came to see you this time mainly because we want to discuss with you the issues regarding the Temple of Light.”

Although the king is a young man, he did not expect us to be so direct. However, he was just a little surprised before he calmed down and nodded: "Your way of doing things is indeed very direct. Since you have made it so clear, then we Just sit down and talk.”

Since this place itself is a place similar to a secret room in the palace, the king is not worried about safety issues at all. He asked several guards in the room to go outside to guard the entrance. After that, he greeted us all to sit down, and then the king began to ask : "I wonder what you want to tell me about the temple?"

I glanced at Hongyue, who immediately said on my behalf: "His Majesty the King may have heard before that we are travelers from a very far away place. Although this is not wrong, it is not true. Absolutely. The fact is that we didn’t just wander here, but came here specifically with a mission.”

As soon as they heard that we had a purpose, several people over there immediately became nervous, especially the president of the laboratory and the old mage next to the king. However, the young king was very courageous and stretched out his hand to stop the person who was already preparing. The old mage, who was ready to take action at any time, then motioned us to continue with his eyes.

Hongyue continued after receiving the prompt: "In fact, we are similar to those in the Temple of Light. We also serve a clan of gods, a clan of gods that is more powerful than the clan of gods served by the Temple of Light."

The king, who was quite calm at first, was obviously a little uneasy when he heard this, but he still restrained himself from interrupting.

After seeing the other party's expression, Hongyue continued: "In fact, the gods served by the Temple of Light here cannot be called gods at all. Their strength may be on the same level as us. It is no exaggeration. Say, we have the ability to kill gods.”

"What?" The king, who had been trying to remain calm, jumped up from his seat after hearing the words "kill gods." Imagine that the crisis he is facing now is just a dispute between the divine power of the Temple of Light and his royal power. What does the Temple of Light rely on? Aren’t they just those gods? However, now we actually say that we have the ability to directly kill the gods. So, if what we say is true and we have really killed all those gods, is it possible for the Temple of Light to still exist? Maybe, but definitely not like it is now. It can be said that if Hong Yueyi's words are true, then we have the ability to fundamentally solve the king's troubles. How can this not make him excited?

Seeing the king's reaction, I stretched out my hand to stop Hongyue from continuing, and then took over the topic myself and said: "As my companion said, we already have the same abilities as the so-called gods in the Temple of Light here. The strength, and from this you can imagine what level of existence the gods we serve are."

After hearing my words, the king began to frown and think deeply, but I didn't give him time to think this time because I knew he must have thought wrongly, so I didn't want him to waste time thinking.

"You don't have to worry about attracting more powerful gods after driving away the gods served by the Temple of Light with our help. In fact, we didn't arrive here to occupy the belief field here. If you may be unhappy, we The gods do not look at this place at all. He only sees the gods here, and not as subordinates, but as prey. We people are not trustworthy existences among the gods we serve, so our gods intend to give us a A chance to prove your abilities.”

The young king reacted quickly. Based on what we said before, he immediately guessed: "Your gods asked you to overthrow the Light God Clan to test you?"

"No, it's not overthrowing, but completely erasing it." I said decisively: "Our god said that the strength of these false gods here has just reached his expectation of our strength, so if we can clean and completely eradicate this place, of the gods, then we have the strength required by our gods, therefore, our task is to kill all the gods here."

Listening to our rhetoric, the king and the two people behind him were now completely stupid. Originally they just thought that we were going to deal with the Temple of Light, but they didn't expect that our target was actually the God of Light behind the Temple of Light. This satellite was really a bit exaggerated.

It has to be said that young people have better adaptability. After being demented for a long time, the young king was the first to react. He asked with some uncertainty: "If these few people really have the ability to challenge the gods, then why are you looking for us? You can even ignore the gods, and the Temple of Light cannot be yours. Opponent? According to what you said, just kill them directly, why do you still need to discuss with us? "

"This question is actually very simple." I deliberately smiled evilly and said at the same time: "When your Majesty is fighting someone, you don't want the other person to be accompanied by a group of dogs to help? Even with your strength, kill those dogs It’s just a matter of raising your hands, but having so many dogs when fighting enemies of the same level is also very annoying.”

The king and the three of them are not fools, and they understood what I meant as soon as they heard my words. Although we have the power to compete with those gods, the outcome is not so certain. If there are people around the other side to help, even if they are just a group of useless people, as long as the other side affects us a little bit, our chances of winning will immediately increase. Much lower. This is like what people often say is the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Although this straw is very light, without it the camel will stand. Without it, the camel will fall. It can be seen that a straw sometimes can become a key factor. And the Temple of Light, no matter how rubbish it is, is much better than straw, so this kind of existence must be cleaned up in advance.

After the king and others understood what we meant, they gathered together and discussed in a low voice. In less than a minute, they came up with the result. Then the young king said: "If we believe you, and in the battle How confident are you that you can help hold back the Temple of Light?"

"That depends on your efficiency."

"Why?" The king was quite puzzled.

I said directly: "First, we were sent not four people to take part in the test, but twenty-four people. Four of them have already contacted us, but the whereabouts of the remaining people are still unknown, so we need The first thing His Majesty the King did was help us reunite."

"This shouldn't be a big problem. As long as they are within my country, they should be easy to find."

I nodded and said: "The second thing. Our god is not very trustworthy, so he only gave us forty-eight hours to complete the task, and several hours have passed now, so everything must be done It must be completed before eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, otherwise we will be forcibly teleported back after the time limit."

The king frowned and said, "The time is a bit tight, but it's probably not too late to catch up. What else do you want?"

"The last request is to help hold back the Temple of Light after we find the location of the opponent's protoss and start a war with them."

The king nodded and said: "That's no problem."

"If these three things can be completed successfully, then we can guarantee a success rate of more than 80%."

The king and his two men were relieved to hear this number. The success rate of 80% is already quite high, and it is definitely worth the gamble. Although if he fails, his kingdom will definitely be destroyed, but now it can be said that the royal power has a faint tendency to be suppressed by the divine power. The young king knew that if they gave up this opportunity, they would become slaves of the temple sooner or later. The difference was only a matter of time. And if they took a gamble, they would probably completely defeat the temple and regain their complete royal power. Which king could resist such temptation? What's more, the 80% chance of winning is not low.

After comprehensively analyzing the pros and cons, the king finally made up his mind. "Leave all these matters to us. You just have to deal with the Light God Clan in the end."
