It was still dark, under the shade of the trees at Grandis Manor, Lester put down the metal scabbard on his back and held Aatrox in his hand.
It has been a long time since I heard the beautiful Shuriman language echoing in my ears like a symphony.
“Lester!
!
One day I will get your body!
! I will torture your soul so that you can neither survive nor die! I'm going to chop your arms and thighs into pieces! I'm going to chop off your head and make it into a lantern! I want……"
small book booth
After a full three minutes, Aatrox closed his mouth for a short breath, giving Lester a chance to speak.
"Oh, no need, I can't live or die anymore, so I won't bother the noble Lord Aatrox."
When the 'Talk Sword Spirit' refused to cooperate, Aatrox's Darkborn epee, which was trying hard to corrode Lester's body, weighed more than forty kilograms. Every time it was swung, it would cause great damage to Lester's body. Burden can only use the inertia of the heavy sword itself to perform moves, but for Lester, this is actually a good thing. Although the body's strength has also declined under the star seal to the point where it is slightly stronger than ordinary adults, He couldn't just pick up nearly a hundred kilograms of stuff like before, but that didn't mean he lost room for improvement.
He could clearly feel that his body was slowly progressing, gradually adapting to the Darkin sword in his hand. Regardless of whether this was beneficial to breaking through the seal, at least it was a way to become stronger, which was better than standing still.
"What exactly is there in your body? I obviously smell the scent of the Star Spirit, but I can't find the location of the Star Spirit's power. Lester, who are you?"
Seeing that his trash talk could no longer affect Lester, the unwilling Aatrox decided to explore Lester's secret.
Thinking on the bright side, at least he didn't get buried in the damn swamp mud by the damn Lester and locked up for another thousand years.
"Oh? Are you finally willing to talk properly?"
Lester, who used his inertia to perform whirlwind, stopped and several small trees about half a meter in diameter behind him were cut in half, with smooth and neat cuts.
Later, he will use Aatrox to split the tree trunks and send them to the firewood pile in the warehouse.
"snort!
! If you don't want to answer, don't answer! Don't expect me to beg you! "
The rough and heavy voice of the sword demon came from the big sword.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lester turned around and sat on the tree stump he had just made to take a rest.
It is said that heavy swords have no edge, but Aatrox is very sharp. Whether it is the blade or the smelly mouth, it makes people fearful.
"Exchanging one question for another, how about it being fair? You are interested in me, and I am also interested in what happened in the era of you Ascended Ones and the Shurima Empire. This kind of conversation will be meaningful instead of being boring all day long. Swearing and cursing all over the place.”
After a few seconds of silence, Aatrox's voice came from the heavy sword.
"Can."
"Okay, then in order to show sincerity, I will answer your first question first.
I think you have also discovered that it is difficult to change my appearance and physical condition. In fact, this is the power of the world runes. Even in the battle with you, my body suffered heavy injuries but still remained safe and sound. This is also because the power of the runes is healing my injuries. If I count correctly, I have lived in this world for more than four hundred years. "
[It turns out that the power of runes is resisting my erosion. If I can master the power of runes in his body, his body will definitely be used by me. Lester's body is indeed the host body of my dreams...]
Aatrox, who was thinking about how to fight for control of his body, was quickly interrupted by Lester's words.
"Now that I'm done it's your turn, I want to know how the Twilight Protoss sealed you within your weapons."
Hearing the name 'Twilight Star Spirit', Aatrox's hatred was like a volcano about to erupt and almost made him lose his mind. Fortunately, Aatrox also understood that his current anger was meaningless.
"Damn the Twilight Protoss, she forcibly stripped my soul away,
Every ascended person born under the sun's disk will gain the power of the gods, and even the weapons they carry will be infused with divine power. However, she takes advantage of this to use the most despicable methods to destroy our bodies, leaving Weapons have become the carrier of our souls. She should have killed us, but she insists on making us endure the most unbearable humiliation and live alone in a dark place for thousands of years... Twilight Star Spirit!
I want you to die!
! "
Frowning, he let go of the hilt of the sword, and the roaring in his ears suddenly stopped. After a while, Stet once again held Aatrox, who had calmed down.
"These are all useless nonsense. If you are still going to deal with me, our conversation will end here, and there will be no second chance like this in the future."
In the silence, Aatrox's voice came faintly.
"...It is some kind of astral magic that we cannot recognize. This magic can dispel the power of the Ascended Ones that suppress us, causing us to lose the glory of the Ascended Ones. After we lose our power, the Twilight Stars will destroy us. The soul is transferred... Actually, I don’t know how the damn star spirit did it. When I regained consciousness again, I was already in an eternal darkness and silence. Until the first human held me tightly, I Only by taking his body did I gain vision,
At that time, my body had turned into my favorite sword, which was buried underground and never saw the light of day..."
Lester rubbed his chin, thinking about the information Aatrox had revealed.
The protoss uses the Star Rose Crown to control the Star-Forged Dragon King Aurian Thor, and uses the sun disk to extract the power of the Dragon King. There are many purposes for doing this, which can weaken the power of the Dragon King and allow the Star Rose Crown to perform better. and can do many things with the help of the Dragon King's power. Perhaps the Star Spirit itself is also absorbing the Dragon King's power to strengthen itself.
The power of the Ascended comes from the Dragon King. How to control the power of the Dragon King is naturally known to the Protoss Spirits. The high-ranking Ascended Ones like Aatrox are naturally no match for the Protoss Spirits.
The main reason why the protoss allowed the Ascended to appear in the Shurima Empire was that the Ascended would not pose any threat to the Protoss. This is why the one who sealed the Darkin was the most playful Twilight, not the more enthusiastic one. Pan Sen, who is dedicated to fighting, is afraid that in the eyes of the protoss, the superior Ascended Ones are nothing more than experimental objects that can be destroyed at any time, and have no value worthy of attention at all.
It's ridiculous that Aatrox still thinks to this day that he lost to the Protoss because the power of the Ascended One was weakened by the void erosion. Little did he know that even at his strongest period, he would never be a match for the Protoss.
Combined with the appearance of the void lair in Icathia and the subsequent void war started by the Ascended, Lester has sufficient reason to believe that the Ascended warriors made by the Sun Disk also have a use as watchdogs.
Just like the Jiaoren clan who guarded the void cracks in the Sea of Conquerors and placed their territory impartially at the entrance of the abyss, it would be too insulting to people's intelligence to say that they were not guided and influenced by the stars.
After the void was sealed by the Ascended Ones, the Ascending Ones naturally lost their value. In addition, the Shurima Empire suffered a catastrophe and the sun disk was destroyed. Normally speaking, the protoss might have found another way to weaken it. The method of casting the Star Dragon King - if they are not stupid.
When Lester came to his senses, Aatrox asked again.
"Lester, what exactly did the protoss do to you?"
"They put some kind of terrible seal on me, causing me to lose all my extraordinary power. Otherwise, I wouldn't fight you with a spear. I'm better at magic..."
Aatrox felt the brutal power coming from deep inside his body, and tentatively agreed with Lester's statement.
"We have a common enemy, Lester, why don't you give your body to me? Only I can exert the full power of the great sword. Compared with you who are weak, I will kill the star realm and let those damned people The protoss knows what will happen if you provoke an enemy you shouldn't provoke!"
Listening to Aatrox's arrogant and arrogant words, Lester rolled his eyes.
"Forget it, you have never beaten them when you were alive. Do you expect to beat them with such a devilish look?"
Letting go of the furious Aatrox, Lester sheathed his sword and left the woods in the rising sunshine.
The days in the city of Ixoken became stable.
In the morning, he served as a great element to answer questions for students and other Yuntar. At noon, he returned to the manor to accompany Roy, who was freeing up, to have a big meal. In the afternoon, he went to the central tower to practice elemental magic at Vidalian Weaving. In the evening, he returned to the manor. , and from time to time have in-depth exchanges with Her Majesty the Queen, who comes uninvited. The life of the Archmage is so simple that time flies by.
Seven years passed in the blink of an eye, and the little princess became the eldest princess. After the stupid prince learned about the secret history of the palace, he also began to learn how to talk to the servants with a straight face, especially after the eldest sister knew that she had given up the throne and secretly joined forces with her mother to become his mistress. , Yudil couldn't help but worry that the only second sister who had not been touched would also fall into the hands of his teacher.
Fortunately, Yuelaisi made a matchmaking in time and helped the twelve daughters of the old and easy-to-collapse former Archmage Wilmot solve their marriage problems and gained the approval of many Yuntals. He held a public marriage proposal and attracted three beautiful wives for Yudir. Only then did Yudir understand the good intentions of his teacher.
In any case, Lester finally stabilized his relationship with the royal family.
Savannah took the initiative to abdicate and live in seclusion behind the scenes. The eldest princess moved into the Galandis Manor. The second princess Angelia became the new queen and took charge of the royal power. The third prince lived the life of a royal young master walking birds and playing with dogs. He was destined to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. In Angelia and Lester's plan, one of Udir's daughters will be adopted by Angelia and become the new queen of Ixtal.
The only thing that hasn't changed is Lester's status. As the great elementalist of Ixtali, the power of the archmage can no longer be shaken by anyone.
Until one day, news of the disappearance of Yuntar, who controlled a village on the eastern border, reached the Isuoken Palace and was conveyed to Lester by Angelia overnight.
After shooing away the servants waiting on her left and right, Angelia had a look of disgust and disdain on her face, but her body allowed Lester to hug her, and she even put her arms around the man's neck with her backhand.
"I'm talking to you about business, but you do this to me? With my mother and sister, can't you satisfy your animal desires? Perverted teacher?"
"Don't be angry. It's just that I haven't been here for a week. Didn't I come now? I will definitely stay with you more in the future."
Lester, who calmed down the new queen and calmed down, smiled.
"Tell me, what happened? I was asked to enter the palace overnight."
Sighing, Angelia lowered her voice.
"The strange black mist that diffused from the Amalan Xin coast first swallowed up the border village of Nascote. After consulting with the elder Rogier of the neighboring village and others, he sent a messenger to report to me, and led thirty-five more Elemental hunters and Ixtari mage apprentices entered Nascote,
Just an hour ago, the second messenger arrived, bringing news that Elder Rogier was missing and that the black fog continued to spread to other villages. I would like to hear your opinion before going to court tomorrow. "
"Black...fog."
Angelia was startled by Lester's downcast expression. She had never seen the all-powerful Lester show such a serious expression, and for a moment she couldn't help but be quite afraid of the black mist.
"Teacher Pervert, you know the origin of the black mist, right?"
Nodding, Lester also lost his intention to play around and said seriously.
"I think you should also know about the changes that occurred in the lost Blessed Light Island. This black mist should come from the blessed island east of the Sea of Watchers. The black mist can restrain and devour human souls. There are many difficult and terrifying things in it. Monsters, those evil souls cannot be killed by ordinary means. Elder Rogier alone may not be able to deal with the dangers in the black mist. Dying in the black mist will only strengthen the power of the black mist... I am afraid that Elder Rogier is already fierce. There is less luck."
Angelia's expression changed and she asked quickly.
"Then how should we deal with the black mist?"
"Organize the surrounding villagers to evacuate the village and take the initiative to stay away from the black fog."
"Can't we take the initiative to fight against the black mist?"
Under Angelia's gaze, Lester nodded.
"Yes, but you need holy stone weapons to fight against the black mist. Ordinary swords and even magic cannot cause effective damage to monsters in the black mist. Only holy stone weapons can completely purify the evil spirits in the black mist. The most critical issue is that the holy stone The weapon, including its production method, is in the hands of an ancient sect born on Blessed Island. If you want to obtain the holy stone weapon, you must first find that sect."
"How do we find the Order?"
He didn't answer Angelia's question, and walked around twice in the depressing atmosphere, Lester said calmly.
"It's very difficult to find them directly. Whether you can meet them in the black mist can only depend on luck. Angelia, it's best for us to rely on ourselves in this matter."
After giving Angelia a gentle kiss, Lester hugged the bewildered woman in front of him and comforted her softly.
"We have made two preparations and organized Elder Yuntar to evacuate the villagers in the villages near Nascote. As for how to deal with the black mist, I will think of a way. I can't really leave Elder Rogier and the others alone."
"Otherwise... forget it, don't go, we can just ask the villagers to evacuate Nascote."
Under Angelia's worried eyes, Lester chuckled, turned around and left.
"You've only been a queen for a few days and you've turned into a little adult? Don't underestimate your perverted teacher. He's just a few lonely ghosts and he can't stop me."
