Chapter 124: Fishing in Troubled Waters (Part II)

There are always things in this world that can't be opened like Pandora's box, and the image of the Sage that Jenn holds in his hand is one of them—though Jenn is reluctant to admit it, he is almost certain that it is the image of the Sage of Bane, the former god of war. This means that the power that sleeps in this statue of the Sage belongs to Bane.

The so-called resurrection of the demon king is not just a legend and myth on the streets, whether it is a demon or a god, it has the ability to be resurrected. Even Jenn is the same, if he is unfortunate enough to hang up now, then if there is the slightest chance, Jenn can use all kinds of means to drive himself back to life. In the Klein Continent, death is not the end, but just a transit station, mortals, gods, elves, dragons, no matter what race, what kind of creatures, they will get off at this transit station, and then go to find their own way out.

In fact, Jenn somewhat understood why Rose wanted to get Bane's image of the Sage, Rose likes chaos but hates war. And Bane's resurrection would obviously involve her in a war -- either imminently involved, or already involved. None of that matters, it's like when you see a Tevelin, even if he doesn't do anything, you have a reason to kill him to stop an evil deed or make him atone for an evil deed. Bane was born to do this, he will involve the gods, the demons, all the qiē into chaos, a war with no end in sight. Perhaps civilizations will change, races may perish, and bustling buildings will disappear in the storm of time. But only war is the eternal theme of this world.

Looking at the image of the Sage in his hand, Jenn narrowed his eyes. So. Things get even more complicated. If the oracle received by the Templar was a reference to the image of Bane's Holy One, it would mean that there were probably people in the kingdom who wanted Bane to be resurrected. But what about Bane's resurrection? He is a demon king, do those pampered gods still expect Ban to turn around and wash his hands in the golden basin and go to the kingdom of God to sit on the stage and drink with them?

Moment. Jenn recalled in his mind the one hundred and eighty-seven resurrection methods of the demons. In fact, it would not be surprising if the gods really wanted to get the image of the Sage, because the image of the Sage was sealed with only a part of Bane's divine power and priesthood. In normal times, these powers mean nothing other than to hasten Bane's resurrection. However, considering that the current situation is different -- Maca was pulled into the demon realm by the demons and made a cross forever, and the god of war has completely presented a vacuum. It wouldn't be impossible if the gods chose a victim to give him access to Bane's powers, although nine times out of ten, the unlucky guy would eventually become Bane's doppelganger. But we can't help but consider the possibility that the other party might have resisted Bane's temptation with a firm heart of justice, and then absorbed his power and thus become the new god of war -- don't you see that many of the bitter and hateful protagonists in fantasy novels end up like this?

Whether or not their speculations are true, it is clear that the Kingdom of God is expecting to obtain the image of the Sage of Bane through Guò in order to achieve some purpose. And Rose obviously knew something, so he sent the dark elves to investigate. But that's all Jenn can guess now, and Rose definitely won't tell him the truth. And with Jenn's current strength, there is no way to find trouble with the Sky God Kingdom.........

So, should Bane's image of the Holy One be handed over?

Although Jenn could have made a false sage image to fool people, considering the guidance of the other party from the oracle, I am afraid that it will be an overnight matter to distinguish the real from the fake. And it's a hot potato in the middle of the word, and keeping it in his treasure room will only cause trouble for Jenn and not any good. But if the statue of the Holy One of Bane is handed over. Jenn had to consider the possibility that he would be forced into the war after that. Like Rose, Jenn wasn't much of a fan of war. At least for now, he didn't expect the dungeon he had built so hard to build a mess in the face of a devastating blow. As for the thoughts of those gods, who can guess for sure?

While pondering. Jenn threw the image of the Sage in his left hand to his right hand and then back again. He carefully examined the stone statue in front of him, from top to bottom. Not a single omission, and immediately after. Jenn raised an eyebrow, focusing on the crown carved out of stone at the top of the statue.

Then. Jenn's eyes flashed, and he turned and walked out of the treasure room.

"Inform Patilina that it's time to retreat."

Damn humans!!

Kadek roared and pulled the axe out of the head of a human soldier that had been cut in half, and let out an angry roar. His red eyes showed how angry Kadek was now. The soldiers of the Valkyrie Principality brought by Pander had been wiped out, but that didn't make Kadek feel better. The news of the collapse of the wall in front of him almost made Kadek furious, he had thought that the strength of these humans was too weak, how to look like bait. And now it's proven that these damn humans managed to get their attention with this group of slaves, and then actually broke through their own walls?

These damn bastards ............!!

"Lord Consul, what should we do now?"

Following Kadek's side, the grey dwarf lieutenant, also covered in blood, asked. In the battle with the Valkyrie Duchy army, Kadek also lost more than a dozen gray dwarf warriors, although they were a big victory compared to the total annihilation of the opponent's army, but this still did not make Kadik's mood any better.

"What else can I do? All go to the front line, send those damned humans back to me, hurry up!! ”

Spat viciously at the cracked corpse on the ground, Khadec roared loudly with his axe. Hearing his roar, the remaining grey dwarf warriors saluted Kadek, then turned and galloped in line in the direction of the roaring and trembling front line.

After seeing that the other soldiers had already rushed to the front line, Kadek hurried towards the Archon's residence with two guards. I don't know why, he always felt uneasy. Could it be that Brandon Stone City really can't hold it this time? If that's the case. Then you'd better pack your things and get ready to run away now.

As Kadek rushed into the halls of the Archon's Mansion, a voice immediately came to his ears.

"I really didn't expect that. I'll see you here, Lord Cardik. ”

Hear the voice. Kadek frowned, looked up in the direction of the voice, and saw Verna sitting leisurely on the soft and comfortable sofa, staring at the gray dwarf archon in front of her with a strange smile. Seeing the dark elves, Kadek's face was slightly gloomy, and a hint of ominous premonition quickly surged into his heart.

"What's the matter with you? Black skin? Don't you see the humans attacking my city? I'm busy right now, and if it's okay, you'd better not bother me! ”

Taking a deep breath, Kadek forced his inner turmoil to hold. Striding into the living room, he glared at Verna and waved his hand.

"By the way, what about Master Mage? Brandon Stone needs his help right now! He didn't want the humans to completely destroy the city. ”

"Of course, the master will not watch those humans destroy Brandon Stone City, so he will send me here again."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Kadek was stunned for a moment, he stared at Verna, and frowned. Struggling to read the dark elf's thoughts from Verna's words. What Verna said just now is obviously something in her words, what kind of ghost is she fighting...............

At that moment, Khadec suddenly spun around, and the battle axe made of adamantite metal in his hand slashed through the air. Impartially, he slashed at the body of the dark elf warrior behind him. The sudden blow also caused the dark elf to howl, and the dagger that was supposed to be inserted into Kadek's heart lost its accuracy and stabbed into Kadik's shoulder.

"Cunning blackskin!!"

Feel a sharp pain in your shoulder. Kadek roared, and the battle axe in his hand suddenly shone with a dazzling brilliance. The next moment, the hapless Dark Elf warrior flew upside down as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding truck, slamming into the wall. There was no more sound.

Unfortunately, the two of Kadek's guards obviously did not have the keen senses of the archon, and as Kadek raised his battle axe in anger, he had already found the corpses of the two guards who had fallen to the ground, as well as the dark elf warrior who suddenly appeared behind him like a ghost.

"Blackskin, what do you mean by that?!!"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Werna stood up and stared at Kadek with a sneer.

"This is a little punishment from your master, and you not only ignore his kindness, but even dare to deceive him. And now, it's time for you to pay for your foolishness. ”

"You're ..................!!"

Hearing Verna's words, Kadek glared at her. At this moment, Kadek could feel that his shoulders were already cold and cold, and he didn't need to look at him to know that the injured part had completely blackened and deteriorated. The ferocity of the Dark Elves' poison is unparalleled in the Dark Realm, and even a little scraping of the skin is deadly. Although because of Kadek's vigilance, he was not killed by the opponent with a single blow. But that was only a slight extension of his life.

"You vile and shameless clown!!"

Knowing that he could no longer live, Kadek finally went completely insane, and he raised his tomahawk and lunged in the direction of Vilna. Seeing Kadek pounce, Verna also sank down and waved her hand forward. The next moment, I saw dozens of well-equipped dark elf warriors emerge out of thin air, and they shrouded Kadek's body with dark magical clouds. Then he raised the bow and crossbow in his hand and shot at it mercilessly.

Blinded by his vision, Kadek shouted angrily, swinging his tomahawk with all his might, sending arrow after arrow flying. But even so, he still couldn't resist the onslaught of poison. Soon, the paralyzing poison spread to Kadek's right hand, slowing his movements slightly. At the same time, a crossbow bolt pierced Cadek's defenses and pierced him in the eye.

And this also announced the final fate of the gray dwarf archon.

When the dark fog gradually lifted, all that was left in front of Vilna was the corpse of Kadek, who had been shot into a hedgehog. The grey dwarf archon is now completely finished, reduced to a pile of rotten meat.

It was only then that Verna walked up to Kadek, glanced at him with disdain, and then withdrew her gaze.

In this way, the last obstacle to dominating Brandon Stone City has been completely removed. (To be continued......)
