The mage arrives

Cosseini's sudden attack caught the twins by surprise.

Indeed, it was the two of them who had made a deal with Cosseney's daughter to be part of the plan to kill Gordon Freeman.In the end, the plan of the two people did not succeed, and it was self-defeating, but was used by Gordon, which deepened the conflict with his father and led to the final family split.

The tiefling lady disappeared after the assassination.Although Hansel and Greta guessed that she was probably killed by Gordon, when Cosseini asked, they didn't tell the truth, but just evaded the matter.

Now, even if Cosseini knew about this matter, the two brothers and sisters didn't think it was time to shout and kill.After all, it was Gordon who killed the tiefling female assassin.As for the two of them, their cooperation with the female assassin was entirely voluntary, and they did not lie.

But Cossene didn't think so.

It is more difficult for mages to give birth to offspring than ordinary people, not to mention, it is the crystallization of their beloved succubus pets.After the death of his only daughter, Cosseini's anger was completely overflowing, so he didn't go back to distinguish between primary and secondary responsibilities.All those related to his daughter's death will be personally punished by him!

Hansel and Greta were just the first two.As for the culprit, Gordon Freeman, I will talk about it later.

Although it has now degenerated into a six-ring mage, Cosseini's various magic equipment will not degenerate, and it is still at the level that an eight-ring mage should have.One of his greatest strengths now is the invisible staff in his hand.

This staff has the advantage of being silent and unexpected in battle, and it is also the favorite weapon of Cosseini, a former master of the School of Illusion and Mind.

Not only does the staff store various powerful spells, but it can also increase the power of the spells of the two schools of expertise cast by Cosseini.

This time he decided to turn against Hansel and Greta, the former eight-ring mage was fully prepared.He met with each other.Then he used the strongest spell stored in the staff.Two sleepy-looking dark red rays of light shot out from the staff, and directly hit the eyebrows of Hansel and Greta.

The various magic props on Hansel and Glita sensed Cosseini's attack, and reacted in response, flashing brilliant magical auras one after another, but none of them worked.

The two five-ring mages didn't even react at all, so they stood blankly in the middle of the study.It's like turning into two sculptures.

Cosseni showed a smug smile.He walked around the brothers and sisters before saying, "The school of illusion tricks people's eyes, and the school of mind manipulates people's brains. And I am good at both. I know, you two little guys used to laugh at me from the bottom of my heart This aging loser. But you have forgotten that the gap between me and you is not just between the fifth ring and the sixth ring. It's as simple as that. Back then, I was called "the puppeteer Corsene" by many people ' character, hated and feared and loved among the Fereidon nobility..."

Cosseini, who had just been furious because of the death of his daughter, has now returned to his refined and bookish appearance.He straightened his silver hair, and then dusted off the non-existent dust on the mage's robe.Only then did she sit on the sofa in a leisurely manner, and ordered to Greta: "Go, make me a cup of coffee."

Although she was struggling, Greta still reluctantly took out coffee beans, grinder, filter and other things from the cabinet next to her.

Some time ago, the king of Haiwen wanted to be arty, so he bought a whole set of expensive coffee equipment in his study and asked his servants to make coffee for himself.In order to please her father, Greta also learned how to make coffee.

Looking at Greta's back.Cosseini's eyes became dazed: "My daughter used to make coffee for me..."

He turned his head and said to Hansel: "Don't be idle, take out the brown clay spoon."

"You..." There was an angry look in the corner of Hansel's eyes.

"Hmph, what do you have in your hands, do you think I don't know? The underground palace in Weisula Mountain is divided into four areas, which are divided into Qingfeng, Brown Earth, Red Flame, and Blue Ice. Four keys to open it. Only with these four keys can you enter the core area and get the last treasure..." Cosseini said leisurely, "I went to Vesula Mountain once ten years ago. Regarding these things, I am better than you. Clearer."

Hansel did not expect that Cosseini knew the greatest reliance on himself and his sister for the upcoming trip to Mount Vesula.He gritted his teeth, resisting the orders against his will that his brain conveyed to his body under the influence of the spell.

"Oh, it seems that your willpower is not bad..." The corners of Cosseini's mouth curled up, revealing a playful smile.He stretched out his left index finger and hooked it lightly.

Immediately, a dark red spiritual thread emerged from the fingertips, growing rapidly in the air like a vine, and finally piercing the top of Hansel's head.

Cosseini moved his fingers again, and Hansel shuddered all over, but couldn't hold on any longer, walked mechanically and stiffly to the wall on the left side of the study, and then recited the activation password.A hidden compartment appears on the wall.

"That's why I'm called 'Cossene the Marionette'."

This eight-ring mage once created a mental spell called "Cosseini's Complete Domination".This spell can be regarded as an enhanced version of the five-ring mental spell "Dominate Human Beings". Not only is it more powerful, but it also does not have many shortcomings of "Dominate Human Beings".

"Dominate Human" can only control one human at a time. "And Cosseini's complete control" can control up to three people at a time.Moreover, mages who use "dominate human beings" to control others must suppress the will of the subject every 24 hours. If they fail, the other party will be able to break free from the control of the spell.The "Total Dominion of Cossene" has no such shortcomings.In addition, there are very few spells that can counter Cosseini's original spell, and the scope of application is stronger than "dominating humans".

So "Dominate Human Beings" is only a five-ring spell, while "Cosseini's Complete Domination" is an eight-ring spell.

Soon, Hansel obediently handed a rough stone key to Cosseini.If Gordon sees this key, he will definitely find that it is similar to the flame key he found in the Blackwater Swamp, and the holy object kept by the Aikan people in Qingmai Town - the key of the blue wind. exactly the same.

Cosseini accepted the key, and Greta came over with a cup of hot coffee.

"Thank you." Cosseini thanked politely, then picked up the coffee cup and took a small sip.

"Originally, I planned to let you take off all the equipment on your body, and then attack Gordon's." Cosseini said to Greta slowly.His tone sounded relaxed, but what he said made the two brothers and sisters shudder.

Originally, neither Hansel nor Greta was Gordon's opponent.If they also took off all the equipment on their bodies and then attacked Gordon, it would be like holding a small dagger naked.What's the difference between charging the entire Freyton Legion?

"You...you can't do this!" Greta's face was full of fear of death.She is now completely controlled by Cosseini, and there is no way to resist any orders from the other party.Even if the other party wants to die by himself, he can only do so.

"Why not? You can push my daughter to die, why can't I let you die?" Cosseini sneered.

"Archmage Cosseni, the death of your daughter. We are very sorry, but it was really just an accident. The possibility of the assassination plan's success was very high, who knows..." Hansel explained with dry lips road.

"Who knew that Gordon's strength is far beyond your imagination? Huh! I have already investigated clearly. You two brothers and sisters fought against Gordon once in a small village called Molulu, but they were beaten by the other party. must be defeated. Hansel was also seriously injured. So you know very well that Gordon is far stronger than you, and he has a few very powerful helpers. You know the danger of going to Sea Cliff Fort to assassinate, but you have nothing to do with it. My daughter explained!"

The twin siblings were at a loss for words.They did know how difficult it was to kill Gordon.But at that time, I was very confident in my plan.The second is that Cosseini's tiefling daughter, a bastard mixed with abyss blood, will definitely not be valued by her father, so she decided to take the risk.

Suddenly, Cosseini changed the subject: "Forget it. For the sake of Glita, your coffee is good. I will spare your lives."

This nonsensical reason is naturally just an excuse.

The reason why Cosseini spared the lives of the twin brothers and sisters was because they were both five-ring mages with good strength, and they were natives of the peninsula.They will come in handy on our trip to Mount Vesula in the near future.

No matter how confident he was in his own strength, Cosseini did not believe in this trip to Vesula Mountain.It will be smooth sailing.With two cannon fodders, the journey will be smoother.

After drinking the coffee, there was a loud shouting outside the window.

It turned out that it was Gordon's fleet that fired several rounds of incendiary canisters at the stables of Aldridge's mansion.A large pile of fodder was ignited, and the fire was fierce and spread rapidly.The servants and guards in the house hurried to put out the fire, creating a moment of chaos.

Cossene turned a deaf ear to all this.He put down his coffee cup and said, "Okay, let's go."

Thinking that their home has been engulfed in flames, the two brothers and sisters feel bad.But the situation is that others are stronger, so they can only grit their teeth and endure.

The siblings looked at each other and saw each other's thoughts.They nodded in unison, and then followed behind Cosseini.

Cosseini, who has used this eight-ring spell to control countless people, naturally knows the plans of some trapped beasts trapped in a mental cage.He just smiled, and didn't care about the thoughts of the twin brothers and sisters.

Cosseini activated a magic circle in the room, and the three disappeared quickly.

Gordon, on the other hand, is still unaware of this change in the Aldridge family.He was just watching from afar on the Rob Antello, and then found that the fire in the Aldrich family mansion was getting worse and worse, and finally it was completely out of control.

The hearts of the Aldrich family were always fluctuating, but now when the subordinates were desperately fighting the fire, Hansel and Greda, the masters, were still missing.Soon, a rumor began to circulate that the twin siblings had abandoned Iron City and fled alone.

Although there are some discrepancies, it is true that Hansel and Greta are missing.

As a result, the servants and soldiers who had lost their backbone no longer struggled to put out the fire, and seized the time to grab the property from the mansion, and then fled in all directions.

It was already evening when Gordon's fleet arrived at Black Iron City and began bombarding it with ballistas.Now it's late at night.The entire Aldrich family house, which covers a huge area, has been almost engulfed by raging flames.Gordon immediately realized that something might have changed in the Black Iron City, otherwise even a small fire would be uncontrollable and eventually fall into an unmanageable situation.

Since the opportunity was right in front of him, Gordon would naturally not miss it.He informs Chuck with a message.Launch a general attack.And he himself, with all the ice golems that were still intact after the naval battle, landed from the port.

Under this pincer attack situation, the Aldrich family, which had already fallen into a state of leaderless dragons, did not organize a decent resistance at all.Almost collapsed at the first touch, surrendered in one battle.

It only took about an hour for Gordon's army to occupy the entire Black Iron City with little effort.On the contrary, it took a lot of effort to put out the fire and maintain law and order to prevent routs and gangsters from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

until noon the next day.The situation in the entire Black Iron City finally stabilized.

Tightly bound by ropes, the twenty or so people kneeling in front of Gordon were all prominent figures in the Aldrich family.They were more unlucky than some of their companions who had seen the opportunity early, did not escape early, and finally became Gordon's captives.

And Hernandez, who was in charge of the territory's intelligence work, was holding a thick stack of papers.Gossip around Gordon.

"My lord, I am very familiar with these minions of the Aldrich family. They are the biggest accomplices of Abel's enslaved rule of the peninsula. These papers are all the crime records I have compiled recently."

"It's enough to have these records. I don't want to read them all, and see them massacre a village on a certain day, or rape a few women's 'brilliant deeds'. Originally, I hoped to be able to find out from these people It seems impossible for one or two people to help me stabilize the situation."

"Forgive me. Your lord. If you forgive the sins of any of them and keep them for your own use, it will have a very bad influence. I am afraid that no one of your subordinates wants to be with scum..."

"I know. This is called maintaining the purity of the revolutionary team." Gordon waved his hand, "But this group of people is still useful, and can help me win the hearts of the Haiwen Peninsula."

Although Hernandez could not understand what Gordon said in the previous sentence, he immediately understood the meaning of the latter sentence: "My lord, I will immediately start preparing for a trial meeting. Those who have suffered from Audrey for a long time People oppressed and persecuted by the Qi family must be very happy to see their enemies suffer."

"It's up to you to arrange this matter. Let Quincy preside over it when the time comes." Gordon ordered.

Although the Black Iron City was captured, Gordon knew that everything was not over yet.He has to seize the time to control the iron mines and silver mines in the northern part of the peninsula, as well as other forest farms, plantations and other previous industries of the Aldrich family.Moreover, behind the Aldrich family, there are big nobles from the Changxia province as their backers.He didn't want to be interfered at such a critical moment, and his success fell short.

After leaving [-] soldiers to maintain law and order, Chuck continued to lead his army north, vowing to completely expel the forces of the Aldrich family from the Haiwen Peninsula.So this time his end point was the boundary line between the peninsula and the territory of the Frey family in Changxia province.

Gordon originally planned to go out with the army, but he didn't know that he was about to set off, but he received a message from his sister: the fleet of the Phoenix family had arrived in Yunlin City, accompanied by several archmages from the Arcane Federation.

With so many important figures suddenly appearing, it's no wonder that Xiona would send this message to him at the critical moment of eliminating the power of the Aldrich family.Gordon knew that if the matter was not too important, his sister would not bother him.

After weighing it, Gordon decided to return to Sea Cliff Fort and leave the rest of the matter to Chuck, Hernandez and others.After all, the elimination of the Aldrich family was already a certainty, and he decided to act with the army just to be on the safe side.

However, whether it is the Phoenix family or the Austrian Law Federation, they are all forces that Gordon needs to win over as much as possible, at least not to engage in evil forces, so they must be treated with caution.

Gordon took a boat all the way back to Cloudscale City. He just walked to the square in front of Sea Cliff Fort—that is, the place where he organized the crowd to watch how he defeated Earl Stirling's evil spirit. He saw several people wearing The mages of the Arcane Federation's unique blue mage robes surrounded Dalinar.

Fortunately, there was no bloody conflict, it was just a group of mages discussing and observing spellcasting skills.

But what made Gordon wonder why Dalinar, a mediocrely talented first-ring mage, would become the focus of everyone's attention.

Until, he saw Dudlin raised his hand and threw a rolling fireball into the sky.

In mid-air, the scorching energy released by the fireball explosion made Gordon on the ground feel a little hot.This is the signature of the most authentic three-ring evocation school: fireball.Moreover, looking at Dalinar's technique, he quickly became proficient, and his magic power was also very good. He was obviously a veteran who had touched the third layer of the magic net for a long time.

How is this going?Could it be that he was mistaken, Dalinar is actually a genius who is more powerful than a guy with cheats like himself, and in just a few days, he was promoted from the first ring to the third ring mage?
