Chapter 350: Decisive Battle (14)
"Impossible!"
"It can't be!"
Krylov III and the old mage rejected this claim of the Marquis of Elfaro at the same time.
It is impossible for the person 'Beria Flossi' not to exist, because he is a legend - if it is possible for someone else to be 'non-existent' and just a fictional person, then as a legend, 'Beria Flossi' cannot be non-existent!
His legend is sung in the world, without him, several plagues that may destroy most of the Kolo kingdom would not have been eliminated, since his 'legend' exists in the world, then his existence is also undoubted, he must exist!
The strongest evidence of this is that the old mage once spoke to 'Belial Flossie'!
The priests don't like 'Beria Flossie', but the old mage, who is a mage, doesn't have that many scruples.
He had a great conversation with 'Beria Flossie', and the exchange with the legendary mage gave the old mage a lot of inspiration, and several problems that had plagued him for a long time were solved.
The old mage himself is the strongest evidence of the existence of 'Beria Flossi', which is why he says 'impossible'.
And Krylov III decided that if the person 'Beria Flossi' did not exist, it would be impossible for the old fox of Abner Elfaro to risk his life and come to the front in person!
In the eyes of both of them, either reason could prove the existence of the person 'Beria Flossi', so, after they themselves said 'impossible', they began to think about the meaning of Abner Elfaro's deception of them!
"I know you don't want to believe this fact, after all, from the point of view of the situation, I am lost, and if it is not for the person 'Beria Flossie', how can I go to war?" the Marquis of Elfaro chuckled, "you guys...... That's what you think, right?"
While the words were still being spoken, the Marquis of Elfaro bent his arms, let his wife bend his arms, jumped lightly, and with the help of the wind, slowly fell outside the city, exposing his figure to the eyes of many knights of the Sorrowful Wind Leader.
However, although the Marquis of Elfaro has appeared, the knights of the Sad Wind Territory have no idea of making a move immediately, because no matter what, they are still 'knights'!
Moreover, Krylov III seems to have something to say to the marquis who was about to be defeated, or rather, to this 'already defeated' marquis.
At times like these, they are even less hands-on.
"It's understandable for you to think so, after all, if it were me, I wouldn't want to believe it. β
The Marquis of Elfaro stood in front of the city gates, vaguely blocking the way into the city, but no one noticed this.
"But I'm not talking about 'Beria Flossie'...... Well, maybe I didn't say it clearly enough, so I'll make it a little clearer!"
Marquis Elfaro smiled at the corner of his mouth and took a deep breath.
At this time, Krylov III and the old mage suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted at the same time: "This is impossible!"
"The person 'Beria Flossi' did not exist from the beginning, I am talking about 'this identity' - 'Beria Flossi' does not exist, only me, 'Abner Bauhinia Elfaro'!"
As she spoke, the Marquis of Elfaro laughed happily and laughed out loud!
"Let's get acquainted again, I am 'Abner Bauhinia Elfaro', the last marquis of the Elfaro family in the Kingdom of Kolo, one of the last two people of the Elfaro family, and the remaining one is this lady next to me, she is my wife. β
With a smile on his face, the Marquis of Elfaro took his wife's hand and continued: "Similarly, I am also the 'remnant' of the Arcane Empire, one of the 'Bauhinia' families of the Arcane nobles, and I think all the knights from the Grim Wind Realm should have some impression of my surname, after all, I have a distant relative who is also in the Grim Wind Realm. β
Of course there is an impression!
If they're not mistaken, Baron Edward Naheim, who once intended to summon demons and help the Abyss invade the world of Assatom, also has this surname!
'Is there any connection between them?' This was the first thought that came to the minds of the knights of the Windlord after realizing that the Marquis of Elfaro was related to the Baron of Naheim.
"There is no such thing as 'Beria Flossi', only me, the legendary mage of the Elfaro family!"
Marquis Elfaro laughed and shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry to lie to you for so long, even I'm a little embarrassed......"
"This war ......" he looked left and right, glancing at the battlefield, "there is no doubt that I have lost!"
"Be careful...... "Knight Lund looked solemn, rode his horse to Knight Kair's side, and said in a deep voice: "That marquis is still smiling......"
After hearing Knight Lund's words, Knight Kyle frowned.
At this distance, he couldn't see what the expression on the face of the Marquis of Elfaro was, but since it was such a time, the nobleman was still laughing, wasn't his purpose to win the war?
Was it from the beginning...... Isn't his purpose to take the throne?
Thinking so, Knight Kyle did not hesitate to take out the communication stone and report the matter to Krylov III.
The Marquis of Elfaro's self-conscious words continued: "I think you must still be wondering why I lost and still stand here and laugh......"
"Wait!"
A frowning Krylov III interrupted Knight Kyle's report, "Let's listen to what he wants to say first!"
β...... Be. β
Knight Kell didn't know what Krylov III wanted to do, and at this time, he knew at a glance what the Marquis of Elfaro might be planning, but Krylov III didn't let them do it directly...... It's puzzling!
"Every generation of the Marquis of Elfaro has such a short lifespan, compared to other nobles who can live to more than ninety, the life span of each generation of our Elfaro family is too short, my grandfather died when he was in his seventies, and my father died of illness before he was fifty years old, if in other countries, this is not something to be confused about, but here, as a mage, don't you think it's weird?" The Marquis of Elfaro pointed to himself, "I, Abner Bauhinia. Elfaro lived for eighty-seven years, far outlived the rest of his family, and you know why?"
After a pause, the Marquis of El Faro smiled eerily and pointed his finger at his brain, "It's all hereβthe El Faro family for more than seven hundred years...... No, the knowledge of the 'Bauhinia' family for more than a thousand years is here, because inheritance requires the life of the inheritor himself, so the people of our family will live so shortly, and at the price, the reproductive ability of our family is very low, and many times, we can only have one child. β
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Krylov III shouted coldly: "Do you want to exchange your knowledge for a chance to live?!"
After hearing Krylov III's words, Knight Tosolo took a deep breath, he finally understood what Krylov III wanted to do.
If Abner Elfaro dies, then someone will definitely come to succeed him, and the reason why Krylov III did not let them do it directly may be to see who is really qualified to take over the place of Marquis of Elfaro!
As a king, he can't let the already powerful nobles continue to grow stronger, so if he wants to take over the position of Marquis of Elfaro, he must be other nobles.
However, if you want to take over the position of Marquis of Elfaro, you must have enough strength, and what Krylov III wants to do is nothing more than to let the nobles of the court around him take over the position of this marquis, but in this way, it is the opposite of the preconditions.
Therefore, Krylov III probably wanted to make the other nobles understand the great power in the hands of the Marquis of Elfaro, so that they would retreat, and after that, they would not be qualified to compete for that position!
Unlike Knight Kyle, Knight Tosolo often deals with the relationship between knights and mage nobles, so he knows the sordid inside of nobles.
Has Krylov III also become a 'noble' today?
"Krylov III, what a pity......"
What no one expected was that the Marquis of Elfaro actually sighed, shook his head and sneered: "I thought you were different from those nobles, but I didn't expect that you were no different from them......"
Krylov III's eyes lit up, and he immediately clenched his fists.
How can he be the same as those nobles - those 'rubbish'?!
"So what?" said Krylov III, snorting coldly, "what the hell do you want to say?"
The Marquis of Elfaro did not answer, but raised his staff and shouted!
- "Revive, my warrior!"
