The mage arrives

What happened to Malik made Asalan almost paralyzed in fright.Fortunately, the mage instinct he cultivated over the years is still there.He's almost done teleporting.

But how could Gordon let the murderer who hurt Xiona leave?

He raised the Nether staff in his hand, aimed at Asalan, and spit out a simple but complicated Nether spell.

Under the guidance of the activation spell, Nesser's staff began to vibrate slightly.As a mage, Gordon can clearly feel the subtle feeling of energy flowing from his palm to his fingertips, just like a close lover whispering in his ear.

But in Asalan's view, things are not so wonderful.

The silver drop-shaped force field energy rapidly gathered at the tip of the staff.It took less than a second from Gordon's chanting of the activation spell to the formation of the spell.

Twenty fist-sized silver bullets whizzed up, hitting Asalan one after another.The speed was so fast and the attack was so fierce that the sixth-ring mage who was about to escape had no time to guard against it.

After Gordon got the staff from Logandi Lorraine, the great arcanist of the Netherduran Empire at the auction, he immediately started to modify it to suit his own needs.

Due to the limited materials and his lack of arcane attainments, Gordon chose a very pragmatic approach.

Gordon first improved the entire energy system of the staff, so that it would no longer be unable to stop after absorbing enough energy, and eventually cause the energy reserve to break through the critical point and cause a dangerous situation of explosion.

After completing this crucial work, Gordon found that the arcane structure of the entire staff was already too complicated. At his own level, he could only enchant one spell on it at most.

Therefore, he chose "Gordon Freeman's Missile Storm", his original spell.

When this original spell was just developed, due to limited ability.Gordon could only give Missile Storm the prefix "Elementary", indicating that this spell is far from reaching the perfect stage.

However, with the powerful arcane energy in Nesser's staff as the backing, the power of the missile storm has been multiplied.Gordon once tested the missile storm cast by Nesser's staff, its destructive power is comparable to that of the six-ring evocation school spell, and it can be called "Gordon Freeman's enhanced missile storm".

The missile storm in Nether's staff can store a total of three rounds, and it will take ten days to fully charge after all of them are used up.

It cannot be used as a conventional weapon, but it can be used as a trump card to turn the tide of the battle.

In order to prevent Asalan from escaping, Gordon put the Nether staff into actual combat for the first time.And the result.It also made him very satisfied.

The fist-sized force field energy bomb is more than five times more powerful than ordinary magic missiles.Even if he blesses himself with a variety of protective spells—including the shield spell that specializes in defending against magic missiles, after Asalan suffered six consecutive missiles, all the protective spells were broken.

And this six-ring mage is not a freak with astonishingly high physical attributes like Gordon.It's the kind of traditional mage with ordinary physique or even weaker than ordinary people.After Asalan's flesh and blood was hit by three enhanced magic missiles, he couldn't bear it anymore.His chest was blasted to a bloody mess.Then he was repelled by the force field energy and fell from the broken window on the second floor.

pat...

**After intimate contact with the hard ground, there was a toothache sound.

Gordon could no longer feel the arcane energy fluctuations emanating from the six-ring mage.

It took only two or three seconds for Gordon to kill Asalan.At this time, the female holy warrior who gave Malik a fatal blow slowly pulled out the sword from the chest of the corpse.

Dawn full of the power of dawn.The blade of the sword slipped out of Malik's body, burning the body that had been polluted by the power of the dark shadow until it made a hissing sound, which made goosebumps all over the body.

But Lenas didn't care.She took back the dawn, looked at the sword body that was not stained by any blood, but was still shining, and said a prayer: "Dawn breaks dawn, darkness ebbs. My sword is the sword that destroys evil; my sword is the sword of light..."

"Although I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm still heroic."After the battle was over, Gordon was in the mood to appreciate the heroic posture of the female holy warrior with flying blond hair.

Just now Gordon used colored crystals to not only summon high-level combat powers like Jude, Reinas, and the two cardinals, but also summoned a large group of apologists from the Platinum Temple.

These mighty warriors in fine, heavy, and shiny polished armor rushed out from the four portals opened on the first floor, and then cooperated with the blade golem and the crossbowman to destroy the remaining invaders.

Not even a single one of those unlucky ones got away.All became the ghosts of the holy sword in the hands of the apologists.

"Who is this guy? He is so powerful, and he has mastered the power of the shadows. If I hadn't been well prepared and the support from the two adults came in time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with him." Gordon looked at Malik Barra on the ground. Theon's corpse, and the other's eyes that were still round before he died, seemed to be pouring out endless questions: Why does this little mage have such a powerful reinforcement?

Gordon was able to invite two cardinals and the elite military forces of the two temples as reinforcements, of course not because of the false titles of "young genius mage" or "young man favored by the lord of the scepter".These false names are not worth mentioning to Ruduo and Sandro, who are in high positions in the church.

His real reliance is Bahamut's Platinum Seal.

Although Gordon did not understand the specific function of the Platinum Seal even after consulting Grand Duke Antaello, he could at least be sure of one thing: holding the Platinum Seal was equivalent to being recognized by the Platinum Dragon God.This improvement in status can bring him great convenience.

After the aristocratic conference was over during the day and Xiona was allowed to appear, forcing Earl Thompson to take the initiative, Gordon met Prince Satyas Anduin under the recommendation of Archdruid Fritz.

Gordon confessed Earl Thompson's crimes in the Cold Mist Mountains and asked for help from the Three Great Temples.Of course, it is impossible for His Royal Highness the Prince and the Cardinals to agree to such a request based on his own words alone.But when he showed his platinum seal, the situation changed immediately.

Cardinal Ruduo, a friend of the Lord of Wands, first agreed to Gordon's request.Then, Cardinal Sandro, who was also a member of the lawful good camp and an orthodox follower of the Platinum Dragon, also agreed to Gordon's request.

Moreover, this senior executive of the Platinum Temple, who looked like an ordinary old man but was actually hiding something, gave Gordon a special gift.

He picked up the holy emblem and chanted a short incantation, which actually resonated with the platinum seal on Gordon's hand.

"Young man, if you are in danger tonight, you can activate the Platinum Seal..."

Ever since Gordon got the Platinum Seal, he has been unable to understand the secrets of this special gift, let alone manipulate or use its true power. He can only do some superficial things—such as treating the seriously injured Xiona.He suspected that only true followers of the Dragon God could fully utilize the potential power of this mark.

Obviously, Gordon, who doesn't even have a devout belief in Ioun, the God of Knowledge, how could he become a devout follower of the Dragon God?

Cardinal Sandro seemed to see the problem right away.He helped Gordon, so that the power in the Platinum Seal—at least a small part of it—can be used by Gordon.

Then, tonight, the Platinum Seal played an extremely crucial role in the process of defeating Malik Baratheon.

Relying on the Platinum Seal as his identity guarantee, Gordon successfully persuaded several big shots to help him.However, there is no other evidence for Earl Thompson's crimes except Gordon's own words.

If the normal process is followed, charges will be filed against Earl Thompson at tomorrow's meeting, and then the evidence will be investigated, and the Earl will be convicted... This will be an extremely long process.And in the absence of clear evidence, it would not work to preemptively arrest Earl Thompson.

The few big figures headed by Prince Satyas are the framers and maintainers of the imperial order, not the destroyers.What's more, this kind of matter involving a member of the ruling class should be more cautious.Otherwise, if the name is not justified, it will be extremely detrimental to the rule of the empire.

So Gordon could only passively wait for Earl Thompson to attack, and take the opportunity to seize the other party's evidence.

Now it seems that this plan has achieved almost perfect results because of Gordon's full preparation.

His Royal Highness and others gathered around Gordon, looking at Malik Baratheon's body together.

"He is... Malik Baratheon!" The prince finally recognized the identity of the deceased. This astonishing result made Prince Satyas, who always pays attention to his aristocratic demeanor, couldn't help but raise his voice. , his complexion changed drastically.

"His Royal Highness of the Baratheon family, are you sure you are right?"

"I will never admit my mistake, Cardinal Ruduo. Although his face was almost burnt beyond recognition by the holy light, I will never admit my mistake! This face with a unique temperament and five points similar to that of the Grand Duke of Silmaril belongs to the Malik Baratheon's!"

"Baratheon?" Gordon recalled slightly, and found that the deceased was indeed somewhat similar to Burdisso Baratheon.Judging from the strength shown by this guy in the battle just now, he is by no means an unknown figure in the Baratheon family.

"He is the younger brother of the current Lord of the Diamond..." The words of His Royal Highness confirmed Gordon's guess.The royal family member thought about it for a while, and said with a serious expression, "I hope you all will keep the death of Malik Baratheon a secret. In addition, this corpse must not be discovered by others..."

One of the most powerful aristocratic families in the empire was involved in this kind of assassination, whether it was just a personal decision or the will of the entire family, it was not a small matter.If it is made public, it is likely to turn into a conflict between the royal family and local nobles if it is fanned by forces with ulterior motives, and then threatens the peace of the empire.

Therefore, the death of Malik Baratheon had to be covered up.As for how to negotiate with the diamond lord in the future, how the game will be played behind the scenes is another matter. (To be continued..)
