518. Conspiracy
The Mortal Monument, Sean, Christina, and others, who belonged to the representatives of Deaththorn, the Void Principality, and the Peace Council, all fell into a strange silence, only the strong death aura that echoed in this space was terrifyingly thick. Even, under the influence of this extremely rich dead air, the entire Forest of Sighs began to undergo obvious changes, and a large amount of black gas began to emerge from the ground, turning into the claws that urged life, and began to try to capture the living who broke into this forest.
The Mortal Monument glanced at the more than ten pairs of small hands as small as babies that grabbed his ankles, snorted coldly, and at the same time exuded an aura belonging to a legendary powerhouse, which immediately shattered these sharp claws made of dead gas.
It's just that these shattered claws did not disperse because of this, but turned into wisps of black smoke and burrowed into the ground of the Forest of Sighs as if they were attracted by some suction. After a while, more than a dozen small dirt bags bulged, and then a small black hand came out of each dirt bag and still grabbed towards the Mortal Monument.
This time, the face of the Immortal Monument changed slightly.
But in fact, it wasn't just the Grim Monument that changed slightly, it was almost clear that everyone present appeared - the only one who didn't change was probably Kokire.
The little guy's face showed a slightly distressed look, and Sean could clearly sense Okirei's inner thoughts from his heart, but this thought made him feel a little helpless. Because Kokire didn't worry about his own safety or other problems at all, the only thing he was depressed about was that he could feel the extremely strong energy fluctuations, which made his appetite increase, but these energies were all inedible energies.
Kokire was distressed.
As the dead air becomes more and more intense and intense. Sean and the others' faces gradually became ugly. Because the threat of the Forest of Sighs is no longer just those black claws. The dead wood actually began to grow, and countless leaves, black and white, began to grow at an insane rate. Originally, some trees did not completely wither and wither. The leaves also began to turn black, but the stripes of the leaves turned red, like blood.
If it is just this kind of appearance change, it will be terrifying at best, but everyone present knows very well that these changes are not just the terrifying vision brought by the appearance.
A large amount of invisible poisonous gas has begun to spread from these leaves.
Although the current threat is not too great, with the passage of time, these poisonous gases will have a very bad effect on the living.
The Monument slain by Kokire. All the flesh and hair of the head that had been thrown to the foot of the monument had melted into a puddle of black sewage under the erosion of this dead air. However, just when everyone was ignoring this skull, two dark red soul fires suddenly ignited inside the skull - among the people present, except for the small team of mercenaries from Ruilista, everyone was a powerhouse of the Sanctuary Realm, so this change was captured by everyone as soon as it appeared.
Sean's originally slightly changed face finally changed at this moment: "Crush that skull!" ”
When the Mortal Monument heard this shout, he was stunned at first, and his first reflex was naturally impossible to listen to Sean's words. After all, half a minute ago, the two sides still fought out a real fire, and they wanted to divide the enemy to the death. Even if Sean was saved from death at this time because someone rescued him, the death thorn represented by the Immortal Monument did not intend to let Sean go, and they were still preparing to find a chance to retaliate in the future, so it was naturally impossible to follow Sean's instructions.
But at the moment when the stele was slightly stunned. Christina and Cecilia also seemed to have thought of something, and their faces changed suddenly.
"Don't let that skull run!"
"Hurry up and destroy the soul fire that has dropped the skull!"
Hearing the shouts of these two people, and looking at the two of them, they were also slightly flustered. The Mortal Monument realized that perhaps the situation had changed a little more than he expected, after all, for the entire Forest of Sighs. He really didn't know anything about it.
It was only at this point that the Mortal Monument was about to raise his foot and smash the skull of his former companion. But it's clearly too late.
The skull swirled rapidly, like a drill into the ground, and countless black dead qi turned into hundreds of black arms that stretched out from the place where the skull had been drilled, intricately entangled together, and grabbed towards the right foot raised by the Mortal Monument. It's just that under the blow of the Immortal Monument, which contains a strong momentum, these hands condensed by the death qi are naturally impossible to stop, and they are all trampled back to the ground by the Immortal Monument, exploding into countless black smoke billowing away.
The ground, even because of this, was trampled by the monument to a depth of several meters.
But all of this still can't stop the bone that has completely disappeared.
"After all, it's still a step too late."
This voice was not the voice of Sean, Christina, and Cecilia, but came from the edge of the battlefield where everyone had fought before.
With a burst of crackling fighting sounds, two figures quickly broke out of the encirclement of those bone warriors and bone demons, just like Christina was knocked out by the Immortal Monument just now, landed in those pile of bone warriors, and forced herself back with her own hands.
It's just that no matter who it is, when they see the two people fighting out of the encirclement of those bone warriors in front of them, they will definitely feel stunned.
These two men, the one on the left, with black hair and a pair of black eyes, are typical of the people of Chuanas. It's just that his complexion is very pale, and it seems that he hasn't seen the sun for a long time, but the rich dead aura on his body complements the environment of the sighing forest now, maybe this is the reason why he can move freely in the current environment.
This person is naturally the soul caller of one of the thirteen coffins of Death Thorn.
Previously, he was responsible for interfering with the influence that Lake exerted on the Forest of Sighs, thus restricting those Bone Demons and Bone Warriors from being involved in the battlefield formed by Sean and the Dark Realm Death Rider and Death Sword. Although there is no way to fully control it, and as soon as the interference appears, it was discovered by Lake, and even almost countered. But in any case, the talent and strength of the Soul Evoker in necromancy is truly amazing.
And the man who followed the Soul Caller. It was a woman in a golden robe.
The woman was of astonishing stature - she was so burly and muscular that the golden robe looked very tight on her. Her appearance is very ordinary. Not to mention that it is compared with Cecilia, Angel and others, even Christina is not comparable at all, but her facial features exude a masculinity that only men can see.
This woman, who looks young and should not be more than thirty years old, is holding a chopper in her right hand, and the scale of the blade is also an oversized work, judging from the momentum exuded by this woman and the specifications of the chopping knife in her hand, I am afraid that she can split a heavy soldier with a heavy shield in half with a single sword.
This woman is a golden-robed executive from the Peace Council.
A golden-robed executive of the Peace Council, appearing with a member of the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorn. This picture is indeed very capable of destroying other people's three views.
Even Christina's face became a little unnatural.
"Atana!" Christina snorted coldly, "I remember your duty was to deal with the Soul Callers, right?" ”
"Things have changed." Atana shrugged her shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression, just as Sean had expected from this woman's muscular appearance, her voice was also very hoarse and deep, "Continuing to fight will not do anything for the current situation, so I decided to take a temporary truce." ”
Christina was still staring coldly at the middle-aged woman named Atana, and even showed a little murderous intent.
Feel it all. Sean sighed slightly inwardly.
He knew a long time ago that Christina's temperament was so straight that she could barely rub sand into her eyes. For her, everyone in this world is either black. Either it's white, and there's no gray area or buffer zone at all. The situation that Sean used the intelligence of Deaththorn to induce the Peace Council to intervene on several occasions was actually solved by Sean in a more ingenious and roundabout way. That's what makes Christina acceptable.
But because of this, when Sean is in the battle of fate. It is impossible to use this deceptive and roundabout way to deceive Christina's cognition, and then she has to confront Christina head-on. Christina would be so disappointed. It's just that this kind of transaction-like behavior is exchanged for any member of the Peace Council except Christina, and they will choose to make a deal with Sean in exchange for a win-win situation.
It's like now.
The golden-robed executive named Atana chose to reach a truce with the other party when she realized that continuing to fight the Soul Caller would not make the current situation better. But if it were Christina fighting the Soul Evoker, I'm afraid she wouldn't have stopped at all, but would have to decide the winner - just like her simple worldview, it's either black or white.
"This is not the time to fight." Sean said in a deep voice, "The opening of the Bone Gate, the influx of a large amount of dead air, has caused a fundamental change in the Forest of Sighs, this place is about to be assimilated into the Bone Death Realm, and it will not do us any good if we stay any longer." …… Moreover, it won't be long before we will face a Silent Death Rider whose strength has almost reached the realm of a super powerhouse. ”
Hearing Sean's words, except for Cecilia, Christina, and the Soul Evoker, the faces of everyone else looked extremely difficult to look at. However, Atana's expression was still normal, and it was obvious that she had heard about it from the Soul Evoker, which is why she agreed to a truce with the Spirit Evoker. Although her strength is at the realm of the Upper Sacred Domain, in a place like the Forest of Sighs, which is full of death, Atana, who is obviously a melee type of profession, will definitely not be able to do any good in the face of the Soul Caller, a mid-level Sacred Domain powerhouse who is also a mage or proficient in undead magic.
Moreover, the Silent Death Rider with the strength of a super strong man is powerful enough to overwhelm the audience - except for the three of Mortal Monument, Kokilei, and Rena who can also fight with it and retreat with their whole body, no one present is the opponent of the Silent Death Rider. Although this Silent Death Rider was not born so soon, if they didn't leave now, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to leave here when the time comes.
Christina glanced at Sean, and after seeing Sean's solemn look, she finally closed her eyes a little unwillingly. Then, when I opened my eyes again, I was already calm.
"Atana. We'll talk about you when we get out of here. Christina said coldly.
"Whatever." Although Atana is not as strong as Christina, her face is very calm. In addition to her unique indifference as an alien barbarian, this is probably due to the fact that there are also people behind Atana, "Even if other peace messengers are here, they will make the same choice as me." ”
Sean's heart was slightly shocked, he didn't expect Christina to be a peacemaker at this time. But what surprised Sean even more was another piece of information hidden in Atana's words: it seems that the Peace Council is no longer dominated by fanatics who are purely black and white, and it seems that the faction that advocates the exchange of interests under the premise of the same big goal has also been born in this madman organization.
"Your Excellency the Grand Duke of the Void, in this situation, I think we need to cooperate." The Soul Evoker looked at Sean. Then he suddenly said, "Of course, for today's incident, we can make a certain amount of compensation. ”
"Sean!" Christina turned her head abruptly and looked at Sean.
Faced with Christina's almost substantial killing intent, Rena and Kokire also looked at it coldly. In this regard, Sean could only sigh helplessly: "Tina, you also know what it means to be in the Bone Death Realm, once that Silent Death Rider is born." None of us in the room, except for the Mortal Monument and Rena and Kokire, made it out alive. Perhaps your Peace Council and I will work together to fight a bloody way out, but there will be no way to survive. Do you think they're going to make it a good way for us to get out of the way? …… If we play here first, settle the dead thorn and then leave, you know what that means. ”
Christina had a look of anger on her face. It's just that she also knows that Sean is telling the truth.
Whether she's willing to accept it or not, the truth is if they don't work with Deaththorn. No one present was able to get out of the room. And if there are any more casualties, it will only add more material to the Forest of Sighs. Even if they were able to get out of here, the end result would undoubtedly be to add more threats in the future - these materials would not be one-time consumables, but would become a hostile force to prevent them from closing the door to the bones.
"Confined to the Forest of Sighs." Christina took a deep breath, "After leaving the Forest of Sighs, I will continue to hunt you down. ”
"Your words are not enough, little girl." The Immortal Monument said coldly, "I have already said that you will be given another twenty years before you have the strength to challenge me today." ”
Sean glanced at the stele and pursed his lips, but he didn't agree with the stele at all. Maybe if it were someone else, it would have taken twenty years, but for Christina, who is almost like a plug-in, it definitely doesn't take twenty years so long. After all, after the legend, if you want to improve the realm of strength, it is no longer the accumulation of quantity, but purely relying on the comprehension, analysis, utilization and control of the law.
The power of the Immortal Monument has been experienced by Sean just now, but the power of the bloodline in his body is estimated to be the level of the legendary bloodline, which is a significant gap compared to Christina's bloodline. At most, in ten years, Christina will be able to step into the level of the peak of the legend, and it is difficult to say how long it will take to impact the super powerhouse, but it is impossible to become a super strong in ten years.
"I don't want to bother with the matter between you, but I want to ask, what about your assassination against me?" Sean asked in a deep voice, "Since the three of us are going to cooperate, there is still plenty of time now, so we might as well make it clear now." ”
"Until the Bone Gate is closed, we Deaththorn won't trouble you." The Mortal Monument said coldly, he had already heard about the Bone Realm from the Soul Calmoner, so he also knew the critical level of the current situation, and opened his mouth neatly, "And during this time, it will also provide all the conveniences you need." ”
"Not enough." Sean shook his head.
The face of the Immortal Monument was slightly cold, and there was a bit of murder in his eyes.
"Until this invasion of the Bone Plane is fully resolved, Deaththorn is not allowed to pull the hind legs of my Void Principality behind my back, and must also help me solve all the troubles that are not in my favor." Sean said in a deep voice, not caring about the cold killing intent of the Immortal Monument at all, anyway, the strongest people present at the moment were Kokilei and Rena who were on his side. None of the others could afford to see it, "It's not just the closing of the door of bones. ”
The closure of the Bone Gate. and the comprehensive resolution of the invasion of the bone plane, which is a matter of two concepts.
If the former is under the all-out hand of the whole continent. It is likely to be solved in a year or two, but the latter includes the sweep of the Forest of Sighs, the purification of the Black Soil Land, etc., and the time will not be able to solve it in just a few years. So if Sean can temporarily resolve the contradiction with Deaththorn with this, this will naturally be beneficial and harmless for Shawn - of course he knows that Deaththorn will definitely want to use this time to recover the strength lost in this battle, but why not Sean?
Once he is allowed to complete the Void Empire plan, then the number of strong men under Sean's command will definitely be only a lot more, and when the time comes, Deaththorn will have to weigh the balance of combat power between them if he wants to trouble Sean again. Not to mention. Sean still has a bigger trump card waiting - when Gypril and other veteran world-class powerhouses fully withdraw from the Miracle Continent, and Lake and his Bone Gate are also solved, Alexis is probably the strongest person in this world.
After all, Alexis' essence is a twentieth-order terrifying existence.
In the case of achieving absolute superiority, Sean naturally likes to expand the fruits of his victory - especially now, the negotiation between Sean and the Immortal Monument does not seem to have any traps, but Sean is afraid of the powerful power of Death Thorn so he chooses a more conservative strategy.
"Agreed." Sure enough, as Sean had expected, the Mortal Monument was thinking about it for a moment. And after consulting with the Soul Evoker, he nodded in agreement.
This surprised Sean a little: the Soul Evoker is probably the successor of a powerful existence in the Six Death Monuments. This point, in the Six Dead Monuments, I am afraid that it has been agreed and recognized. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Mortal Monument to communicate with the people of the Thirteen Coffins of Death Thorns - at least, as the second strongest person among the six Death Monuments, he did not communicate with the Bone Monument and the Dark Monument. Didn't even communicate with the Darkland Deadrider.
Next, it is up to the Soul Evoker to sign a soul contract with Cecilia in the name of Deaththorn. Sean wasn't stupid enough to believe Deaththorn's verbal promises.
"Well, there's one more problem." After the contract has been signed. Sean said suddenly.
"What's the problem?" The Mortal Monument said impatiently, "You've wasted a bit of your time. ”
"I didn't waste anything." Sean replied coldly, "It's you who have to consider and hesitate, and it has nothing to do with me, so if your reply is faster, then time will naturally be saved." After that, Sean no longer paid attention to the people of the dead thorns, but turned his head to look at Christina and said, "The next question is the question between me and your peace council. …… I need your Peace Council to give me the same promise, just like Deaththorn, that the Peace Council must ensure that no one will stab me in the back until the bone invasion is resolved. ”
Christina looked at Sean with a very cold expression.
It's not the first day she's known Sean, so she knows Sean knows well how the Peace Council works. And since Sean knows the operation mode of the Peace Council, then even if Sean doesn't say it, the Peace Council will definitely not allow anyone to stir up trouble on the side of the Southern Continent at this time, and everything must be ranked after solving the major matter of the invasion of the bone plane.
But now, since Sean has made this matter public, Christina knows that Sean is definitely plotting something behind it.
It's a pity that because of the lack of intelligence, even if Christina is familiar with Sean's small actions, she can't guess what Sean wants to do.
Only Cecilia came to her senses at this moment.
In order to increase the chances of victory for the Void Empire's plan, Sean not only dragged the death thorn into the water and tied it to his chariot, but also dragged the Peace Council into the water together!
If Sean's plan succeeds, then the Peace Council and Deaththorn, the two arch-rivals, will have to work together for the growth of the Void Principality's transformation into an empire, and even if they learn about the conspiracy afterwards, they must pinch their noses and admit it.
Sean, this is going to turn conspiracy into yang conspiracy into rhythm! (To be continued......)
PS: Because of some personal matters, I haven't updated for two days, and I apologize. The update is officially back today, and it shouldn't disappoint you next. …… The pit has already started to be filled, but there is still some time before it is finished, so don't worry.
