Chapter 229: Endgame (3)

"Eventually. My teacher, Delaney, teleported away with me, and I spent three years preparing to return to the Imperial Capital once again. Ryan's expression was a little gloomy, after all, this narration reminded him of the painful experience 3 years ago, losing to Catherine was nothing, but seeing Luke die in front of him made Ryan unable to forgive himself no matter what, which was also the motivation for his 3 years of hard training.

After Ryan explained the whole story in detail, everyone present fell silent, even Faraz and Victor, who had already heard it, were still shocked by the thrilling night of the night, the "Great Prophecy" representing the power of order and the "Great Collapse Technique" representing the power of chaos collided in this plane, and it was likely a light finger from a certain god, as well as Catherine's "Lich Circle: Years" , This is almost a legendary story, and it happened in the imperial palace of the imperial capital that night, and even the strict Orlando felt a stirring in his heart, wishing that he could face such a battle in person.

After a long time, Orlando sighed, he looked at Ryan, then at Lath and the others, and said, "Ryan, I'm sure you won't lie to us, but what strong evidence can you come up with to prove that Catherine is the lich you met in the mines? ”

Ryan shook his head slowly, although Catherine had admitted her identity to her face, but there were only a few people present at the time, if Catherine seemed to deny it in the cellar of Faras Manor, Ryan was helpless, even if the engram crystal was used to reproduce the scene at that time, Catherine could still accuse it of being just a false illusion, for most people, Catherine was still the kind and beautiful queen, and would never see her as a lich made of a pile of white bones.

Seeing Ryan shaking his head, Faras couldn't help but interject, "Doesn't this prove Catherine's identity?Brother-in-law, what evidence do you want?"

Orlando glanced at Faras deeply and said, "I know your feelings, but have you ever thought that if there is no strong evidence to prove Catherine's identity, then this time the chaos in the imperial capital will become a negative evidence of the struggle for power within the imperial capital, which will not only discourage those loyal to the empire, but also cause other forces to peep at the imperial capital." The most important thing is that Catherine has always been the spiritual symbol of the people of the imperial capital since the beginning of the defense of the imperial capital, and now she is going to be pulled down from the altar with Ryan's words, do you think it is possible?"

"Perhaps, I can find a witness to prove my words. Ryan shrugged his shoulders and said, "As for the evidence you want, I suppose that unless I am the demigod lich myself, who will be able to show Catherine's transformation from a lich to a human again?"

Orlando also sighed softly, and he said softly to Faras and Ryan, "In our private capacity, we are family, but as a holy knight, I must deal with such a major matter related to the rise and fall of the empire impartially. Once Ryan's words are published, but there is no strong evidence to back them up, then the two of you will be on the cusp of the storm, and others can say that Ryan made up this story in order to help Faras seize power, and Her Majesty the Supreme Queen will never allow it to be so desecrated...... Well, those guys in the south and north are probably going to take advantage of the opportunity, and Catherine is a lich if she can't ask for it. ”

"I don't know if what we're doing right or not, but my teacher Delaney once said that evil breeds in a healthy body, and a healthy body will be infected with disease sooner or later, and if it is not healed sooner, the patient's body will weaken day by day. Now we have to endure the pain and dig out the rotting wounds, and it may hurt for a long time, but once we are healthy, what else can we not do?"

"Dranay, ah, Ryan, since Mr. Dranay and you were there, why don't you invite him, maybe Mr. Drane will have a way to prove it all!" Farath suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"Ah, yes, how did I forget this!" Ryan patted his head heavily, he reached into his storage pocket, and slowly pulled out a magic scroll, and as soon as Bacon saw the outer pattern of this magic scroll, he immediately blurted out: "The gate of time and space!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Victor, because only Victor could engrave the huge magic array of the Gate of Time and Space on the scroll, but Victor shook his head and said, "I didn't do it. Ryan smiled and explained, "This one was given to me by my teacher, and it's not a complete space-time gate magic, but a ...... Alas, to say a word of discouragement, this is for me to escape for my life when I fail. ”

"Before I left the Magic Tower, my teacher was already very weak, and he struggled with normal meditation, so I refused the teacher's offer to come and help, so the teacher gave me this thing. This scroll activates a temporary magic circle through which the user can teleport back to the magic tower, but I always forget how to defeat my opponents. ”

"You...... What a stupid!" Faras muttered as she heard Ryan's words.

"You say these words slowly, Ryan, you just said that, Teacher Delaney's body...... Very weak?" Victor heard another meaning from Ryan's words, so he hurriedly asked.

Ryan nodded and replied to Victor, "Yes, actually, Teacher Dranay is already over a hundred years old......" Ryan hesitated slightly, feeling that there was no need to hide the question of Teacher Dranay's magic inheritance, so he added: "When Teacher Drane was young, he was just an ordinary shop guy, and he was lucky enough to meet Master Jiexi, one of the Seven Heroes, and he began to learn magic. ”

Ryan described in the simplest words the experience of Mr. Draeny inheriting the "Guardian of the Earth" from Jessie, and everyone realized that this magic teacher of Ryan actually had such an experience, no wonder he could teach a freak like Ryan.

"You say, Ryan, you just said that you rejected the inheritance of the 'Guardian of the Earth'?" Victor seemed to be very clear about this staff with special meaning, he asked repeatedly, and only after confirming it again and again did he let out a leisurely breath: "Ryan, you are really ...... Did you know that if you pick up the 'Guardian of the Earth', you can directly reach the top of the Great Magister, and in addition to not being able to bury yourself in the realm of a legendary mage for the rest of your life, you will basically become the strongest part of the human race. ”

"I vowed to protect my loved ones in my own strength, and in the same way, I refused to allow my fate to be controlled by others. The existence of the 'Guardian of the Earth' is to protect those so-called weak, what is the difference between this and the flowers kept in the greenhouse?Besides, if these external forces can really be used, wouldn't the invitation sent by Catherine three years ago be more worthy of my choice, you must know that after becoming a lich, the bottleneck that restricts the improvement of the mage's strength - the body and lifespan have disappeared, and I have a lot of time to specialize in magic, this seems to be a better choice, right?"

"Then why did you refuse Catherine's invitation?" Victor stared at Ryan with both eyes, as if Ryan's answer was very important, and Ryan didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "I like the process of strength improvement, I prefer to enjoy every day happily with my relatives and friends around me, but these are based on freedom, I hate to be bound, whether it is holding a 'guardian of the earth' or turning into a pile of bones wrapped in white cloth." ”

"Hahahaha! Funny, funny!" Victor laughed, and Orlando and the others couldn't help but crack the corners of their mouths, although Lane's words were still childish, but they showed the kind of thought in his heart that he would rather die than be free, and usually people with this kind of thinking are not careerists, let alone make up large stories to deceive others, because in the eyes of these people, it is meaningless.

"What's so funny?" Ryan couldn't help muttering as he looked at Victor who was smiling backwards, and then he gently tore the scroll in his hand and activated the magic circle on it. Since this scroll is designed to escape for your life, it is launched quite quickly, only a few seconds later, a flickering magic array appeared in front of Ryan, and a vague scene faintly appeared in the center of the magic array, whenever you think you can tell what the vague scene is as long as you look closely, you have no choice but to find that those scenes are constantly stretching and contracting, so that you have to look a few more times to confirm whether the blurred scene in front of you has changed。

"Are you all here? The teacher said that this magic circle can last for a short time, so that multiple people can pass through. After saying this, Ryan stepped into the center of the magic circle, and his body began to slowly blur, as if the snow had melted into a lake.

Orlando patted Bacon lightly on the shoulder and instructed him: "During the time I am away, the Royal Knights will be under your command for the time being, and you must ensure that the situation in the imperial capital does not fall into chaos." Well, for the news of my departure, keep it a secret for now!"

"Let's go, this teleportation array has begun to be unstable!" Victor grabbed Farass and pulled her into the magic array quickly, while not forgetting to turn his head to greet Orlando, and Orlando nodded, and also strode in, and soon, the light of the entire magic array weakened, and the blurred scene in the center of the magic array suddenly became clear, but when you looked closely, you found that the original position of the magic array had been restored, and the clear scene you saw was the original scene in the room.
