Section 493 Abundant x Sacrifice (12)
"Of course you have to say that." Harwick finished chanting and looked at him. "Only in this way can we offer better sacrifices to our gods."
"That is, .... You made a deal with the evil god who cursed us? The Duke said. And the sacrifice you gave him was the life of all of us? ”
"This is the truth? That's why it's everything? ”
"Not everything." Halwick said.
"You've been doing magical research for a long time, recruiting those students---- not for power, not for victory, but to create a situation that leads to fierce confrontation, where mages and nobles kill each other? Is it to sacrifice everyone's lives to worship the evil god who cursed us and turned us into this appearance? ”
"The reason why you have grown from an ordinary low-level mage to the most powerful one of the mage group is also because of the deal with that evil god? Betrayed us, betrayed the kingdom, threw himself on our enemies? ”
"Nope." Halwick said. "I have not betrayed, for I have never been loyal to you."
"You noble lords, you have taken us all into battle for your own purposes, without asking us, to challenge an opponent who is so powerful that we cannot defeat it. So, when we save ourselves, what reason do we have to tell you? ”
The Duke was silent for a moment. "What kind of deal did you make with that evil god? He gave you a promise? Promise to turn you back to your original form? ”
"Nope." Halwick said. "The gods just gave me guidance."
"As long as I do something that is not good for you, it will be very smooth. When conducting magical experiments, if you do it with the intention of destroying you, the chances of success will be greatly increased; When exploring this area, if you do it with the intention of attacking you, there will be additional discoveries and gains. ”
"Primordial magic," the Duke said, as if remembering something.
"Yes." Halwick said. "That's what I found out after maintaining my hostility towards you and killing several of the Luo family's men. After that, I wrote some of it into the report, and buried the other part in a secret place so that you could fight for it. ”
"You just said that I was offering mages and you nobles as sacrifices to the gods? Hahaha! Big mistake. Do you know what the gods' favorite offerings are? ”
Halwick sold off, and then the tone of the narration became a little proud.
"Tell you, it's not your lives, it's your pain!"
This point is the same as Wang Luo's shadow.
Suffering. Instead of killing them, the god turned them into skeletons in order to make them feel pain. And this mage, when he found this, followed the intention of the gods--- thus achieved great success.
Yuan Sen looked at the mage in front of him who was describing his actions in a smug tone, and remembered the way he had seen him in the laboratory of the '2012' world before.
I don't know, how did he get there? Why go to that world? It seems that many of his subordinates followed, but didn't those people all die in the explosion?
By the way, when it exploded before, Toby seemed to have opened the portal back to the castle, and then it was sliced into pieces.... Could it be that the shadows of Pluto and Wang Luo discovered the portal and followed?
"The gods will be pleased to see you fighting, strife, betrayal, and abandonment, and will help all who contribute to this." Halwick continued. "Make what they want to do succeed."
"In other words, it is precisely because we want to deal with other nobles that we have made those advances in our research...."The Duke looked at Halwick. That's why you've been calling for unity, peace, and joint efforts...."
"Exactly." Halwick said.
"Other people may not believe you at first, but after seeing the magic reports and experiment logs you shared; After seeing that you recruit so many students and teach them so much magic, you have to believe it. The Duke said. Except for a few people who suspect you of ulterior motives, many people will begin to respect you and even measure others by your practices. ”
Yuan Sen noticed that the hostility in the tone of the Duke's words had completely disappeared--- as if two old friends were discussing normal issues.
"Yes." Halwick said. "The more they do this, the better the offerings I offer to the gods. And what do you think would happen if I didn't do that, and made this kind of information public? ”
"In the early stage, some families may kick you out and do this kind of thing yourself." The Duke said. "In the medium term, when you become stronger, they will cooperate with you. In the near future, they will go it alone and won't let you know. ”
"yes, that's it." Halwick said. "Am I a fool? Will I let the nobles rob and slaughter? Never! ”
"So, while you preach unity, you claim that your gains are all from magical experiments." The Duke said.
"Magical experiments are dangerous." Halwick laughed. "Actually, the reports I gave to other mages, as well as your reports, are true, and they were all discovered in the process of studying magic. Hehehehe, I'm not telling any lies other than taking advantage of the blessings of the gods at certain times. ”
"That's why we didn't find out." The Duke said. "If there was a problem with the content of the report you provided, everyone would have found out about it a long time ago."
"Some families, after repeated research and experiments on those reports, have finally found the truth." Halwick said. So they put a lot of money and manpower into the experiment.... Haha, even if they can get some results - like the 'Sword of Punishment'. But what qualifications does that power have to compare to the blessings of the gods? ”
When it comes time for the final confrontation, they will find that their strength is far less than the gods have bestowed them, and they will regret that they have taken the wrong path. Hehehehe...."
"Well, now you've collected enough sacrifices." The Duke asked. "What are you going to get? How can I help you? ”
The Duke said it directly--- as if he were already an ally of Harwick.
Halwick may have meant to accept his surrender, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much and explained it so clearly. But the Duke didn't ask questions like 'Will you accept my surrender...', but asked the question directly.
