Heart of the Castle

Chapter 656 The Dust Settled, The Holy City in the Clouds
What Levi didn't expect was that Rist Robinson recovered so quickly.When night fell, the meeting hall in Baclu town was brightly lit, the fireplace and the torches on the four wall shelves drove the darkness out of this wide hall, and the young maid served fried eggs and nuts for dinner. Bread, porridge and boiled pears, alluring aromas immediately linger on the nose.

However, before the hungry group started to eat and drink, the door was knocked hard.Sir Rodriguez got up abruptly, and went to open the door with his sword hilt in his hand. Then he showed a rare expression of surprise on his face, and his body moved back, so that the unexpected figure outside the door was directly revealed to Li Wei Shi. Suddenly.

The silver moon above the sky cast a gloomy and bleak light on the figure outside the door. Rist Robinson stood there like a ghost, his face looked haggard and full of traces of sorrow, his eyes stared straight at He looked at Li Wei with a blank gaze, as if he was still immersed in a nightmare, which made the latter shiver in the warm night wind.

"Your Excellency Rist Robinson, do you...do you have anything to do?" Li Wei swallowed and asked cautiously.

"Your Excellency Levi Ston, I'm here to ask for help." Rist replied, although the meaning in the words was polite, but the tone was completely opposite to his expression as if he was in a nightmare, with a resolute and tough taste . "I want to speak to you alone, so please tell these people to step down."

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to signal everyone to leave temporarily.I don't know if it's out of obedience to the Griffon Lord's order, or respect for the legendary Seraph, including the orc governor Carmos Bloody Roar and the green leaf singer Simon Gold Tongue, no one has any objections, They got up and left the hall.Only Sir Rodriguez did not leave, but stood behind Li Wei with his hand on the hilt of the star iron giant sword.

Rist Robinson watched the other people walk out of the hall, and then glanced at Sir Rodriguez, who was as motionless as a black iron statue, and then moved his body closer to the long table where Levi was, announcing in a deep and forceful tone Say.

"Your Excellency Levi Ston, the lord of the Griffin, I, Rest Robinson, the Seraph of the Heavenly Father, request to be your subordinate who will never betray, in exchange for a revived Michelle Mirefis Miss Chance!"

A shocked expression appeared on Li Wei's face, and he suddenly stood up from his seat, "Resurrection of the dead? Father God, that is the authority of the gods in the sky, and it is a field that ordinary people can set foot in. And even in the number of Among the religious books that have been handed down for hundreds of years, only the benevolent Alara has ever demonstrated such a miracle, using life essence to resurrect the innocent and murdered ancient sages. I... How could I do it?"

"Your Excellency Levi Ston, whether the dead can be resurrected is based on my judgment. You just need to answer whether you agree with my request." Rist answered almost without thinking, with a tone as stubborn as hard gravel.

Levi fell into deep thought again, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with agreeing to Rist Robinson's request. The seraphim was obviously not hostile to him. Levi still remembered walking with Rist, who was a bard. During that time, the wonderful music accompanied by Babrupa and Rist's bickering sounded from time to time, which added a bit of fun to the boring journey.More importantly, Rist, as Seraph, is not only the legendary combat force that the Northern Territory urgently needs at present, but also his joining will bring about a qualitative change in the military strength of the Northern Territory County.

However, considering the end, the griffin lord shook his head lightly, "Your Excellency Rist, please forgive me for not being able to grant your request."

Surprise suddenly flashed across Rist's face, and even the empty eyes changed slightly, "Why?" His tone was full of disbelief, "You rejected my request, is it because you are right? Am I not trusting enough?"

"No, I trust you completely, Lord Rist, but I don't want to take advantage of others." Li Wei said as he put his right hand on Seraph's shoulder, and the blue light of dispel began to flash in his palm , "You're just too mournful, you've lost your judgment, take a good night's rest, and we'll talk about these things until tomorrow morning."

Rist pushed away Li Wei's right hand almost rudely, and the blue light of the dispersal technique disappeared immediately, "Your Excellency Levi Ston, my judgment is not biased. For the power you have now, I know what it means better than you." Chi Tian pointed at his heart with his finger, "Alchemy God Realm, or what other name it is, is my last hope."

Li Wei was so surprised that he could hardly speak. Although there were no outsiders around, he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "You... Your Excellency Rist, you actually know the existence of the Castle Heart?"

"Of course I know, and I'm afraid it was much earlier than you." When Rist replied, his eyes flickered endlessly, and there seemed to be something in the eyes that people couldn't tell whether it was memory or fear. "I also know the old guy who created the Alchemy God Realm—oh, it should be called the Heart of the Castle—the great master of alchemy Disch Friedrich, is that the right name?"

"That's right, the Heart of the Castle is indeed Mr. Dish's masterpiece." Levi nodded with a serious expression.

"Is it the highest masterpiece? Perhaps to some extent, it is." When Rist Robinson said this, there was a bit of admiration in his eyes, "but it is the first to propose that this kind of The person in the Dimensional Alchemy God Realm is not old Dish, but the craftsman and the alchemy god Moti. However, it is too difficult to create this demiplane, and what is needed is not only various precious alchemy materials, but also It required a lot of faith, and until Mo Tishen accidentally fell in a low-intensity battle, the blueprint of this alchemy item was still kept in the locker at the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild."

"Alchemist's Guild?" Li Wei felt that this term was familiar, but he couldn't remember when he heard it.

"Oh, Mr. Rist Robinson, you are about to reveal the background of my old man." Accompanied by the familiar old voice, countless runes composed of bluish-white light suddenly appeared not far from Li Wei , and then gradually condensed into an oval portal.Mr. Dish, who was wearing a red magister robe and a tall pointed hat, stepped out of the portal, with an amiable smile on his kind face, but Seraphim couldn't help but take a step back, his body Tight as a bowstring.

"Dish Friedrich!"

"Don't shout so loudly, I can still hear you." Mr. Dish shook the wooden cane in his hand, and then bowed to Li Wei, "Master Levi, the battle at the Moonlight Grove outpost has ended victoriously." , after the support troops from the Evergreen Tower arrived, none of the tens of thousands of demons trapped in the embankment escaped, and all of them were buried there. About three commander's wheel palaces were completely captured, and five or six The damage is not serious and can be repaired soon."

"This is good news, Mr. Dish." Li Wei's tone became excited. The extermination of the demon remnants that were at the end of the road did not exceed his expectations, but he was able to capture the intact commander's wheel palace. It is indeed good news for the North.These commander's wheel palaces are powerful mobile fortresses, which can be driven by magic power, and when they advance at full speed, they are as fast as infantry charges.The upper layer is enough to accommodate hundreds of archers or the same number of light infantry. When attacking the enemy's strong castle, it is simply more powerful than any siege engine, and when defending strategic points, it is better than stationary soldiers. The stone castle of the city has a greater effect.

It can be said that if these commander-in-chief's palaces are arranged at various border strategic locations in Northern Border County, it will be more effective than building a stone castle in each place.If it is a surprise attack by a demon army with a scale of less than [-] people, even the defenders of the commander's wheel palace can be enough to deal with it, and if it is an attack by an army of tens of thousands of demons, a commander's wheel palace is enough to last for several hours. Enough for the Griffon Air Knights to come and carry out an aerial strike.

"But how do we transport those cumbersome fortresses back to the north?" Sir Rodriguez, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised a question. "The outpost of Moonlight Grove is hundreds of kilometers away from North Border County, and the cavalry troops will have to walk for about three to five days. Moreover, West Wind County is still occupied by demon troops, just not counting the magic power needed to drive the commander's wheel palace. It’s not easy going all the way.”

"There are not many demon troops in Xifeng County now." Mr. Dish shrugged, "According to the information obtained by the big crow scouts, there are about [-] to [-] demons attacking Xifeng County. Chen Samael personally took the lead and captured the port city of Arius and Westwind County successively. But now the plague lord has been driven back to the abyss hell by Sir Rodriguez, and his troops are also at the outpost of Moonglade The loss is exhausted, the demon guards in the port city of Arius have withdrawn overnight, and the city of West Wind County has been set ablaze. If we still have enough manpower, the recovery of West Wind County should be at your fingertips."

Li Wei frowned and thought for a while, and when he spoke again, his tone and expression became equally serious, "Mr. Dish, this news must be strictly sealed, and the nobles of the royal capital must never know...even Princess Fleischer's place should also be kept secret. Recovering West Wind County is too tempting a trap. Although the current strength of Northern Border County has been developed to a certain extent, the time to launch a counterattack is still far away. .”

"This may not be a trap set by demons." Rist Robinson couldn't help joining the discussion, "If according to what old...Mr. Dish said, those demons were killed by elves and If the human coalition forces wiped out all of them, wouldn't the restoration of Xifeng County be a matter of course?"

"This is not a trap set by the devil, but a huge trouble brought about by the change of the situation, or in other words, it is the test of the brave Barud." Li Wei explained in detail, "The commander of the demon army is absolutely I didn't expect that they would be wiped out at the outpost of Moonlight Glade. In fact, if we look at the balance of power between the enemy and us alone, even with our help, the Elven King's Court is not an opponent of an army of [-] demons. Half of the Moon Whispering Forest is already the best result."

"It's a pity that the abyssal demons have never been a race known for their unity. If the three demon lords could cooperate sincerely instead of holding each other back, the Moonlight Outpost camp would have been unable to hold on long ago." Sir Rodriguez Said with sarcasm. "Even if we take out all the trump cards, it is still difficult to compete with the power of the three legendary demon lords."

Li Wei nodded in agreement, "That's true. This time, the army of one hundred thousand demons was wiped out, and two of the three demon lords were deported back to the abyss. No matter by any standard, it was a rare battle." Great victory. However, after the great victory, it also brought a serious problem. I am sure that the emptiness in Westwind County is not a trap planned by the devil, but if we allocate part of the army to take over Westwind County, it will definitely weaken Northern Border County. The defensive ability, or even completely destroy the victory that has already been obtained."

"It seems that the victory didn't make you crazy, Master Levi." Mr. Dish nodded with a smile, "But the victory may be hard to hide, because after receiving your order, the northern nobles and the Griffon Knights are almost The whole army is dispatched, and the Ember Knights and Iron Guard Knights who have just begun to take shape also participated in this war, and it is simply too difficult for them not to boast about the glorious victory they will see."

The knight education Li Wei received since he was a child allowed him to control his emotions and did not swear, but his face still became very bad. "This is really terrible." He patted the table lightly with his hand, and his eyes showed a light of thought, "Once the news spreads, I'm sure those nobles in the royal capital will make trouble again, and this time their reason It will be even more grandiose, and there is no way to refuse it."

A strange gleam flashed in Rist's blue eyes, "If it were me, this matter would be easy to deal with." He suggested very bluntly, "Aren't those nobles in the royal capital clamoring to regain the lost land? ? Then send them all to Xifeng County, anyway, there is no large army of demons there, if there are only some stragglers, these noble gentlemen must be able to handle it."

"Your Excellency Rist, I thought you were talking to the messenger of God who is merciful to the world, but your method sounds like..." Li Wei shook his head repeatedly and swallowed the last few words. "In short, we must try our best to ensure that the defense strength of Northern County will not be weakened in order to deal with the possible counterattack of the devil."

"Master Li Wei, it's better to seek help from experts in this kind of matter." Mr. Dish said with a smile, "I think you should discuss it with Lord Bamilian, maybe he will have a better way. As for now, I think it's time to solve the trouble raised by Mr. Rist Robinson."

Li Wei looked a little confused, "Mr. Dish, Lord Rist proposed to revive the dead Miss Michelle. That is simply a field that only the gods can enter."

"The resurrection of the dead is indeed a field that only the gods can touch, but aren't we facing a god's messenger now?" Mr. Dish's smile did not change at all, but Li Wei, who was already familiar with him, felt There was a weird smell, as if the old magician was... angry? "Rist Robinson, the god you believe in is omnipotent, resurrecting the dead is just a piece of cake for him, am I right?"

"I am indeed the messenger of God, but the Holy Father in heaven has not given me such a great authority." Rist Robinson replied with a solemn expression.

"That's why you put your mind on Master Levi!" Mr. Dish's face suddenly darkened, his eyes blazed with fire, "You want Master Levi to agree to your promise without knowing it!" Please, in exchange for your allegiance at the cost of resurrecting the dead, Rist Robinson, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"

Rist's handsome face was pale for a while, his lips were tightly pursed, and then opened with difficulty, "I... I guessed a part of it, but... that may not necessarily come true."

"That will come true." Mr. Dish told him in a cold tone, and then turned to the griffin lord with a puzzled expression on his face, "Master Levi, all angels are the creations of gods, and they are distinguished from the biological system. The most advanced alchemy life. Therefore, Rist, like other alchemy creatures, can use the heart of the castle to upgrade the level. Seraphim is not the apex of all angels. Above Seraph, there is Dawn Angel, which is mastering the resurrection of the dead The greatest angel of authority is not even different from the clone of a god, but if you want to promote a Seraph to the Angel of Dawn, even Castle Heart, which has reached its peak state, can hardly do it... No, it is It's simply impossible!"

Mr. Dish paused, and his tone became sharper, as if every word had a stabbing effect. "But if he has formed a binding contract with the owner of the Castle Heart—that is, you, Master Levi—then in order to ensure the fulfillment of the contract, the Castle Heart will release all its power, which will make everyone Rist's power has broken through the limit and reached the realm of the Angel of Dawn. But after this moment, not only Rist himself will be wiped out, but even the heart of the castle will suffer unprecedented severe damage, and may even be completely destroyed!"

The expression on Levi Stern's face changed suddenly, and his gaze towards Rest Robinson also became severe. "Your Excellency Rist Robinson, did you already know what Mr. Dish said?" He asked word by word.

Rist Robinson's complexion had turned as pale as rancid milk, but he did not make excuses, but nodded with difficulty, and then lowered his eyes without saying a word.

The room was silent.
