213. The conspiracy broke down

On an oasis in the Wild Lands, two figures were flying rapidly, and they could sweep nearly a hundred meters forward with a single tap on the ground.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that it was not to leave a mark every time it clicked on the ground, the distance could have been even farther.

But in this rapid escape, neither of them looked back.

Because they knew very well that the person who pursued them was a Sacred Domain powerhouse, and the fact that the Sacred Domain powerhouse had already mastered the power of the law was enough for them to get rid of the regular effect of gravity. Although the lower sanctuary was not yet able to move too fast in mid-air, it was more than enough to lock down their location and make short flights.

Therefore, in the escape, both of them chose some relatively rugged mountain roads or places with more obstacles such as stone forests as much as possible.

These two people are naturally ghost swords. The Demon Boy and the Undead Girl. Wendy too.

Of course, Wendy still has the black tide on her hands.

The big man didn't seem to weigh much heavier than a pebble in Wendy's hand, for Wendy remained in the same position the whole time - neither once did the black tide touch the ground, nor did it hinder her speed in any way, like a kite that continued to rise and fall with the forward movement of the run.

Different from the relaxed and comfortable look in the past, the look on the face of the demon boy at this time was very focused, and even beads of sweat the size of beans could be seen floating on the corners of his forehead, and then in the process of running rapidly, he was carried away by the howling strong wind. And in order to maintain as much physical moderation as possible. The Demon Boy's twin swords had also been inserted back into the scabbard, not being held in his hands, and his entire body was running at a ninety-degree angle. Like an ostrich in the desert.

Compared to the undead girl. Wendy, the Demon Boy is still a human at heart, and his physical abilities are no more unlimited than Wendy and Black Deathtide.

The cold wind whistled past the ears of the two people, or the three of them, but the speed of the two did not slow down in the slightest, but grew faster and faster.

However, in this process, it can be gradually seen that the demon boy who is still a human body has begun to be a little exhausted. Because at this time, Wendy has become the leader in front of the running - although the difference between the two is less than three millimeters, but this distance is enough to explain a lot for the thirteen coffins.

The Demon Boy suddenly slowed himself down slightly, then took a deep breath. This move widened the distance between him and Wendy by ten meters in an instant. In terms of physical strength and endurance, the demon boy who was the first to come into contact with the law and formed his own domain naturally cannot be compared with Wendy, but if he is a strong person who relies on martial arts to eat, then he naturally has a certain attainment in terms of instantaneous explosiveness.

I only heard the demon boy suddenly say "speed up". His next foot on the plains slammed into it - but the boy was still very cautious. Because his right foot was only on the tip of the ground, and he didn't step on the whole foot. A strong and abundant force suddenly burst out from the demon boy's body, but because of the demon boy's deliberate control, the circle crater that was shaken by the right foot stepping on the plain did not spread too much, and it was probably only less than half a meter.

But the transfer of force is comparatively relative.

Although the horizontal transmission is not very large, if it is longitudinal, it can be found that the rock formations that are ten meters deep underground at this time have been directly trampled into powder by the demon boy.

Almost at the moment when the magic boy accelerated, the undead girl. Wendy also accelerates at the same time - only as a representative of the power type. The control power of the immortal corpse girl is not as subtle as that of the demon boy. Even if he deliberately controlled the strength and transmission area, the concussion caused was still more than two meters.

But under the acceleration of this burst of vindictiveness. This time, the two of them really shot out like cannonballs, and in an instant, they spanned a distance of nearly a kilometer.

In the darkness of the night, I don't know how long it took, the two men finally made a light turn by a stream, and then both disappeared into the field.

It is not to say that they have disappeared, but strictly to say that they have entered an area maintained by illusion: when they enter this area, all they can see from the outside world are two ripples that ripple like stones falling into the surface of a lake. However, the ripples did not spread very widely, so they calmed down completely after just a little agitation, and they didn't look any different from the surrounding situation.

The only thing that has changed is that the aura of these two people has completely disappeared when they arrive here.

And if there is no person who is particularly good at hunting, then the aura left by these two people along the way will be completely blown away by the wind of this wild land in a few minutes. Of course, even if there are people who are good at hunting, the traces and aura left by these two people can only be retained for a few hours at most, unless they are hunters with legendary strength or above, then it is possible to still find the traces of these two people after a few days.

With Christina - her storage zài, even if it is placed in the powerful peace council, it can be regarded as a BUG-level storage zài - is not very good at tracking, and once she is thrown away, it is unlikely that she will find a target. At least, it was only after more than half an hour that she discovered the clue left by the two when they accelerated for the second time, and then completely lost their tracks.

However, when entering this area constructed by illusion, the two of them changed their expressions.

At this time, in the middle of the area, there was a middle-aged man in a black earth-length mage robe, who was outwardly very handsome, imbued with a mature and steady temperament unique to his age, and of course the learned wisdom and mystery that almost all magicians could see—if he hadn't been injured, he might have been able to see the confident look that was unique to this man.

At this moment, the only thing that the Demon Boy, Wendy, and the black Death Tide whose skull had been repaired and could move normally were the middle-aged magician who was dying, the front of the mage's robe had been stained red with blood, and his face was as pale as paper.

This person. Naturally, he is the dark prophet of one of the thirteen coffins of deaththorns.

"What's going on!?" The demon boy said with a surprised face, but at the same time, he also drew his double swords at the first time, looking vigilant.

Undead Girl. Wendy's response wasn't slow either. Her momentum also surged wildly, and the blue-gray skin on her body began to turn into a dark gray: "Who attacked you?" ”

"I was careless." The Dark Prophet said weakly.

In the face of his companions, the Dark Prophet could not say "After realizing that the Black Death Tide was in danger, he performed a long-distance magical body projection, and then secretly followed Sean in an attempt to assassinate Sean, only to be discovered by a lich, and then tried to threaten Sean in vain." When he was thinking about leaving, he was imprisoned by the lich and then suffered from the inhumane ravages of the lich, so he not only lost a precious core. also led to the fact that his mental power and magic power have been cut in half".

"Careless?" Ghost Sword. The demon boy frowned slightly, but he still put away his double swords, "What's the matter?" ”

"Our plan failed." The Dark Prophet didn't immediately answer the Demon Boy's question, "I can't do mana transmission now. You immediately contact the Dead Nest. Let the Dark Realm Death Rider, Death Sword, and Demon Soul evacuate the Void Principality, and say that there is a trap over there! ”

"Trap?" Undead Girl. Wendy frowned as well, and then asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" Aren't they responsible for assassinating that Void Grand Duke? With the strength of the three of them, even if the Void Duchy has any traps, it won't help, right? ”

"If it's just the Void Principality, it's definitely going to be useless, but that Shaun. Connery has teamed up with the Peace Council, and now there's a trap waiting for us to fall into the net on the Void Principality's side! The Dark Prophet's tone was a little heavier, and the speed of his speech was a little haste, which seemed to make his injuries worse. Coughing up another mouthful of blood, "Now that Void Grand Duke is not in the Void Duchy at all. He's already in the wilderness! The man you saw when you went to save the Black Death Tide was Sean. Connelly! ”

"What!?" At this moment, the magic boy and Wendy were both shocked.

"Then what are we waiting for, go back and catch him now, and let our plan continue." After being shocked, the magic boy took the lead in speaking, "Wendy and I are indeed not Christina's opponents, but if you add the Black Death Tide, it is difficult to say whether you will win or lose." If you make a move, even a few more Christinas with the strength of the four of us won't help. ”

"Impossible." The Dark Prophet shook his head.

Undead Girl. Wendy glanced at the Dark Prophet, and then spoke: "It may be really impossible for you to be injured now, but since there is an ambush on the side of the Void Duchy, and our most essential goal is here, we can wait for the Dark Death Rider, Death Sword and Demon Soul to come and converge before we attack." ”

"Even if we gather in thirteen coffins, we can't help Sean now." The Dark Seerer continued to shake his head.

Ghost Sword. The Demon Boy's brow furrowed, he looked at the Dark Prophet, and said in a deep voice, "Reason. ”

"Guess how I got hurt?" The Dark Prophet does not answer the rhetorical question.

When asked by the Dark Prophet, Demon Boy and Wendy looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer.

In the thirteen coffins, the Dark Prophet's personal combat power is not particularly outstanding, probably at a medium level, and his biggest advantage is still in strategy. Of course, if you underestimate the Dark Prophet with this, then you will also pay a very heavy price, after all, the strength of the peak of the Upper Sacred Domain is there, and it is not something that ordinary people can deal with if they want to, otherwise how could they escape eleven times in the hands of the Peace Council?

But now, after being told by the Dark Prophet, Demon Boy and Wendy realize that things may not be as simple as they thought.

To be able to hurt the Dark Prophet so badly, then the other party must at least be a strong person of the same level.

And Christina's strength, now the people of Death Thorn are very clear: although it is a new lower-rank holy domain, it is not much inferior to some mid-level holy domains. But if you want to deal with a high-ranking Sanctuary powerhouse like the Dark Prophet, then you are still not qualified.

"If I hadn't cast a magic projection, but myself, I'd be dead right now." Without letting the Demon Boy and Wendy guess anything, the Dark Prophet only groaned slightly. directly announced the answer, "Even if the thirteen coffins are all there, it is just meaningless to drop a few more corpses...... No. It is likely that the whole army will be wiped out, and no one will be able to escape. ”

"It's impossible, even if it's a legendary powerhouse, it's okay if we really can't fight and want to escape." As the demon boy with the sharpest combat instincts, he immediately refuted the words of the dark prophet, "When did the thirteen coffins become so worthless?" Wouldn't you be a projection and even lose your confidence? ”

Thirteen coffins, as a bright sign of death thorns. It is composed of thirteen people with extremely strong fighting strength.

Shadow. Bright, Scissorhands. Jack, the Dark Prophet, and the Soul Evoker are all powerhouses at the pinnacle of the Upper Sanctuary. Bright and the Dark Prophet, Scissorhands. The three of Jack even stepped on the legendary sideline with half a foot.

Duke of Flaffis, Full Moon Visitor. John, Blood Mask. The three of Naxi are the powerhouses of the Middle Sanctuary, while the Duke of Flafis and the Full Moon Visitor. John and the others are still because they have sealed their true strength. Once the seal is lifted, these two people will also be powerful beings in the Upper Sacred Domain. As for the Blood Mask. Although Naxi is only a mid-rank Sanctuary, if you talk about personal combat power alone, he can definitely rank in the top five in Deaththorn. Moreover, he also has a strong record of killing the powerhouses of the upper Sacred Realm many times.

The four people of Black Deathtide, Dark Realm Death Rider, Demon Soul, and Death Sword are the lower Sanctuary. But these four people also have powerful abilities that the others in Deaththorn do not have. Among them, the Demon Soul has a record of five battles with Christina, who is focused on training by the Peace Council: four draws and one loss, but it was also because of that defeat that the Demon Soul became an old man; The Dark Realm Death Rider, on the other hand, is the one who has stolen part of the Grim Reaper's divine power, and he can freely travel between the outer realms and the material realm without any punishment; As for the Death Sword, it is more special, because its body is not a human, but a sword, a dark artifact that has fallen into the abyss, and the reason why there is only a lower holy realm is because the container that Death Thorn is currently looking for can only exert such strength.

As for the ghost sword. The Demon Boy and the Undead Girl. Wendy and the others are only quasi-sanctuary. But these two people have their own strengths, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong. The combination of the two of them could compete with any of the four lower-rank sanctuary. This was the real reason why the two of them were given the title of Thirteen Coffins - of course, Deaththorn valued their future potential more than anything else, as the two of them were still very young.

It can be said that among these thirteen people, except for the Demon Boy and Wendy, who are just making exceptions, the other eleven people are all real Sanctuary powerhouses.

"Huh." The Dark Prophet looked at the Demon Boy and let out a chilling laugh, "Do you know who is following Sean right now? ”

Ghost Sword. The Demon Boy did not answer.

But the Dark Prophet didn't need him to answer, "A lich." ”

The demon boy was stunned for a moment.

But before the Demon Boy could speak again, the Dark Prophet had already spoken: "A random stretch of out of his hand and a finger can pull the projection I have hidden in the astral realm to the material realm; With a casual wave of my hand, my projection can be imprisoned, and I can't use the space to escape; Then the sight of the ghost fire made me completely lose control of the projection; With a single touch, I can directly burn my soul through the guò projection, and even almost absorb all my souls on the main body of the past lich. …… What do you think such a lich is? Are you sure you want to compete with such a lich? …… If you're sure, then you can tell the others to go anyway, I'm not going anyway. ”

"I'm not going either." The black tide shook its head like a rattle.

As for the undead girl. Wendy, not to mention, because she has already proven her idea with practical actions - the distance between her and the demon boy has been more than ten meters.

Ghost Sword. The Demon Boy's face looked a little ugly. But although his desire to fight is very strong, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have brains, he knows very well that such a lich is probably not as simple as an ordinary legend, and it may even be at the level of a super strongman, which makes him have to curse Sean for having some shit luck and actually hitching a ride on such a lich, because according to their intelligence, Sean does not have such a strong person by his side.

"We ...... Is it possible to publish the lich's tracks? "The magic boy's brain spins very fast.

"Sean is accompanied by a priestess of the Church of Life, and if my eyes are correct, then she is the Chief Saintess of the Church of Life, who has been out of our sight for almost two years, Heatley." The Dark Seerer continued. "And now by Sean's side, there is also a Demon Spawn and a Dark Elf. I really don't know what this lord is trying to do, but here in the Savages, we can get the word out. There is no way to affect or damage it, and even I can think of a hundred ways out of this situation, how many can you guess the lord can think of? ”

"Fifty?" The Demon Boy didn't know why the Dark Prophet was asking the question, but he took it anyway.

"Even if there is only one, it means that we can't use this method to threaten or even cause any substantial harm to him." The Dark Prophet said lightly.

"So what now?" The tone of the demon boy was quite unwilling.

"What should I do?" The Dark Prophet sneered, "Honestly admit that the mission has failed, and let the others not act rashly." It will soon become another battlefield. It's just that we're not ready to fight here with the Peace Council, so we're going to report this news and let the big guys above have a headache. We do what we need to do before a new task is given. …… Of course, it's best to find a way to keep spying on Sean. Connery, by the way, investigate what the hell is going on with that lich. ”

"Leave the investigation to me!" The magic boy said immediately.

"I don't worry about you." The Dark Prophet said without hesitation. "If it's you. You will definitely try to create a chance to be alone with that lord, and with your personality, you will definitely choose to act in such a situation. …… I don't think you're an opponent of that lord. ”

"Are you looking down on me?" The demon boy was immediately enraged, "Don't think that you are the mastermind of this operation and can always point fingers at me, our status is equal, you are not qualified to order me!" And this time, your plan has completely failed, and you still have to think about going back first. What will the organization say about you? ”

Hearing the Demon Boy's words, the Dark Prophet's face changed slightly.

Dark Nest. As one of the five most important core bases of Deaththorn, it naturally has the most heavily guarded and the most hidden geographical location.

But one day, not only did the Peace Council know the location of this nest, but it was even completely destroyed overnight with its precise force, and the entire Death Thorn was shocked. Then they paid a lot of money before they finally found a way to point to Sean. Connery's clue, and in order to confirm this clue, Deaththorn had to pay a greater price to communicate with the hellish plane, only to finally get a confirmation, that is, the reason why the Peace Council knew the exact location and strength structure of one of the five lairs of Deaththorn was betrayed to the Peace Council by Sean.

Upon learning of this result, Deaththorn immediately decided to retaliate.

But if you just kill Sean, it will be too cheap Sean.

In Deaththorn's plan, they want to keep Sean alive to see the power he had worked so hard to build collapse, and then let him die with endless chagrin and negative feelings such as frustration and remorse.

Therefore, in the original plan, it was mainly a war against Sean's territory - and the object of cooperation with Deaththorn was naturally the Sene noble faction of the Ryan Kingdom. You must know that it is not only these nobles who will go to Deaththorn to assassinate certain targets, but at some times Deaththorn will also join forces with the political enemies of the assassination target, after all, this is a win-win opportunity, and no one will refuse, especially since the Sene noble faction of the Ryan Kingdom had many reasons to wage war against Sean at that time.

For example, blood revenge.

But unfortunately, after the complete defeat of the Dovigo family and the Finlistin family like red-eyed gamblers, no nobles in the Ryan Kingdom now dare to wage war against Sean, not even dare to provoke. That's why Deaththorn had to activate a backup plan - to hit the idea into the Savage Lands: the reason why I didn't choose this plan in the first place was because there were too many uncontrollable factors in the Savage Lands.

A true strategist will not allow too many uncontrollable factors in his plans.

For this reason, Deaththorn had to use the thirteen coffins of this level of storage.

Of course, the original plan remains the same: the assassination team composed of the Dark Death Rider, the Death Sword, and the Demon Soul is responsible for abolishing Sean; The subversive group composed of the Black Death Tide, the Ghost Sword, and the Undead Girl led by the Dark Prophet went deep into the wilderness to make waves.

Thus, after a series of covert operations, the plan hatched by the Dark Prophet is half the battle: to divide the Savage Lands and weaken the decision-making power and credibility of the Savage Council, followed by civil strife and hostility towards the human kingdom throughout the Savages. In the end, it caused a war and used the situation to guide the Savage Lands to choose the Void Principality as the first point of attack.

Unfortunately, however, the civil strife in the Savage Lands is not particularly complete, and there are also many neutrals and peacekeepers who are not completely hostile to humanity.

For this. The Dark Prophet had to keep trying: to provoke the wrath of the Elven tribes of the Savage Lands.

According to the plan, there should be plenty of clues to be left behind, at least all the targets can be directed at humans, and Deaththorn can also harvest such good things as broken branches of the Tree of Life by the way. But because of Sean's interference, not only did the crime scene not leave any clues, but even because of the impulse of the undead girl and others, they slaughtered a human gathering point, and now it is even more confirmed that this is a conspiracy to deliberately frame human beings.

For this. The Dark Prophet had to find a way to recover the broken branches of the Tree of Life so that he could continue to blame it.

But judging by the current results, the Dark Prophet's plan has completely failed.

The evaluation of the magic boy's mouth. Of course, it's not as simple as an evaluation.

Within Deaththorn, there is a very strict reward system: if the task is completed, it is natural to get a reward, and according to the performance of the task, the effort, the customer satisfaction process, etc., the rewards obtained are also different; And once the task fails. Then naturally there is to be punished. However, in the case of a team mission with a planner, if the mission fails, it will only be the one who made the plan to be punished.

This time, the mission to retaliate against Sean was planned by the Dark Prophet.

Counting the previous action of inciting the nobles of Ryan Sene against Sean, he has already failed twice, so it is completely conceivable how severe the punishment awaits him after returning to Deaththorn. Although death is certainly not enough. After all, a person who can reach the level of the thirteenth coffin is not willing to lose his combat strength. But some torture and the like are unavoidable.

"Hmph." After snorting coldly, the demon boy turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" The Dark Prophet shouted in a deep voice.

"As the captain, you decided that the mission failed and did not continue the mission, so until the new instructions are given, the rest of the time will be my free time, right?" Ghost Sword. The demon boy said coldly, the killing intent emanating from his body was extremely strong, as if it were substance, "Since that's the case, then you don't need to care where I'm going, right?" ”

Among the dead thorns, there is no one who is good at it.

Therefore, when performing tasks, there are often cases where one's own people slaughter one's own people, and for this kind of behavior, Death Thorn has always turned a blind eye and did not care at all. Only when the scale of the thirteen coffins is reached, Deaththorn strictly forbids his own people to kill his own people, and once the violator of the treaty is discovered, then what awaits them is the endless pursuit of the entire Deaththorn.

So the ghost sword. No matter how strong the killing intent on the Demon Boy's body was at this time, he would not attack the Dark Prophet. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to attack the Dark Prophet, even if the Dark Prophet looked extremely injured at this time, and it seemed that he was not even half of his strength in his heyday, but he would not blindly attack, after all, the gap in strength was too large, and if he shot at the Dark Prophet, then he would definitely only die.

Soon, the demon boy left the illusion-clad shelter.

Seeing the Demon Boy leaving, the Dark Prophet sighed helplessly, and then turned his head to look at the undead corpse girl: "Wendy, you follow him to act, if he is alone, his strength is very limited, if the two of you act together, at least even if you encounter the next Sacred Domain powerhouse, you will be able to escape." ”

In the Death Thorn, the thirteen coffins all have a very strong ability to act alone - except for the black death tide whose brains are not very useful, after all, they are all strong in the Holy Domain, and they can move freely in most places on the Miracle Continent. But the undead girl. Wendy and Ghost Sword. The two Demon Boys are an exception, at least until the two actually step into the Sanctuary, Deaththorn will not let them move freely, so it has always been a team of two, even if many times the two of them will often attack each other at a discord, but when they are really in danger, they are also willing to sacrifice for each other.

So, even if the Dark Prophet doesn't confess, the Dead Girl. Wendy won't look at Ghost Sword either. The Demon Boy left alone.

However, with the order of the Dark Prophet at this time, her actions were much easier, so after nodding slightly, she also turned around and left.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in this illusion array, the Dark Prophet and the Black Deathtide.

"Will I go with them too?" Black Deathtide's brain is not very useful, so just now the Dark Prophet and the Demon Boy talked for most of the day, and Black Deathtide couldn't understand a word, and at this time he saw the undead girl who was designated as his partner. Wendy and Ghost Sword. The two of them left, and Black Death Tide asked in a daze.

"Nope." The Dark Prophet shook his head, the expression on his face was amiable, and his gaze at the Black Death Tide became gentle: "Our mission has failed, and there is no point in staying here, so let's go back, there are many things to report." …… And I can't use my magic to deliver messages right now, so I'll have to rely on you to get me out of here, my dear brother. ”

"Oh, I see, brother, look at me!" Black Deathtide let out a smirk, but judging by the sound, Black Deathtide was obviously very happy at this time.

I saw that the black tide of death suddenly shook towards the dark prophet, and the bandages on his hands shot quickly, and then completely entangled the dark prophet, almost tied to a mummy. It's just that unlike Black Deathtide, whose whole body is wrapped in bandages, at least Black Deathtide knows how to leave a mouth and nose for the Dark Prophet to breathe and speak.

When Black Deathtide was sure to wrap the Dark Prophet around, he pulled the bandage back with a retraction of his hands, and then tied the Black Prophet to himself.

Immediately after, the Black Death Tide took a step and began to run, but the direction he chose to leave was with the Ghost Sword. Demon Boy, Immortal Corpse Girl. Wendy left in the opposite direction. (To be continued......)
