Ameses approached one statue, and Nesse approached another. There was no one around, and they were flanked by the cliffs on the side of the mountain surrounded by empty drawers.
Could this spacious staircase only lead to two paths?
Nesai looked around with his peripheral vision, and saw that there seemed to be a set of large machinery installed a hundred feet away from the cliff. The black metal rods and chain links extended down, and there was a brazier-like thing falling between the clouds and mist. There were about two braziers. Thirty feet wide.
"Please don't get me wrong."
Anmeses' voice echoed in the wind, "I didn't deliberately harm Winnie, and I didn't have any additional plans later. Although the wanted order has been issued, isn't it already in your hands?
I also feel very sorry for Mr. Ode. He is sincere, fair and extremely smart. He just couldn't give up his little hobby, which ultimately killed him. It would be fine if it was just an ordinary little hobby..."
He smiled faintly and said instead:
"In any case, Mr. Oude is already in the past tense. All I can do is follow the convention and deal with his posthumous affairs. Otherwise, how could Fei Bohui let it go?
Although Ungoro is not a suitable candidate for 'Butler' in the long term. But whether it is the power of the Red Face Club or some current special circumstances, it is okay to temporarily let him serve as the 'butler'. "
"Ungoro will only use power for personal gain, causing Lower Semoland to become even more chaotic. The Ling system continues to grow, and he can even start to interfere with the operation of Upper Semoland. You have turned a blind eye to all this."
Nese looked directly at him, "I don't understand, what does the dean think is important?"
"Didn't Serum Academy steal the spotlight from the Lin system? Thanks to you, there won't be a crisis in the academy for the time being. It's good." Anmeses V glanced at him and answered lightly.
"Have you heard about the recent tragedy in the mines, the orphanage, and Rue Lasso?"
"I know, but these are just natural phenomena in Semolan."
"You don't seem to care about the life and death of the residents here." Nese said simply.
Anmeses blinked first, and then showed a weird smile.
He has a golden crown on his head, and his back is against the blindfolded statue, which is about twice his height. Their facial contours are similar, and their dark atmosphere blends together.
"I don't think there's anything funny." Nesai said coldly.
"Veled, I can't imagine it."
Anmeses V was condescending and cast a deep and sharp look:
"When you came to me for the first time two days ago, your questions related to the principles of the universe, and each one of them caught me off guard. That's why I paid more attention to you and discovered your true identity.
I am speeding up preparations and sincerely waiting for your arrival here, ready to answer your questions. Nor have you disclosed your identity to the Warlock Association - although I do have a cooperative relationship with them. How am I doing?
To tell you the truth, I assumed that I would enjoy working with you, and even these days, I was ready to entrust you with an important mission.
As long as you mention it, I can meet many of your conditions. I brought you here to share with you what I know to the best of my ability. "
"did not expect."
Anmeses V sighed softly.
"Two days later, you questioned me as if you were a bad mage living here.
When did your mind reach Semoland? This is not right. What you care about, you shouldn't care about. You don't belong here either.
This makes me a little disappointed. Do you still remember why you came here? What happened to you? "
There was a hint of imperceptible excitement in his voice.
"Thank you for the reminder. I know better."
Hearing this, Nesse roughly understood Anmeses's attitude. "Besides, I'm also a little disappointed in you." He changed his honorific title again.
"Oh? Why don't you just tell me?"
Anmeses V raised his eyebrows, as if he was genuinely questioning.
Indeed, if what he said was true, there was nothing reprehensible about his behavior.
only……
"When I came here, I saw you gazing at the statue of Amesses I. Even here, there are two statues of him. What do you want to say to him?"
Nesse looked at the statue behind Ameses V.
Monster humanoid with wolf tail, claws, mask and slits. This is exactly the evil image of Ammesses I, the mage who was driven here to establish Sermoran in the legend.
I just didn't expect that his statue here also looks like this.
That may not be an insult to his strange appearance. Amesses I did have such an abnormal appearance - which was probably the reason why he was expelled from the outside world.
"I'd rather hear your opinion." King Anmeses V looked at him with deep interest.
"Anmeses I, the mutated mage who was expelled from the world."
Nese said, "He came here and spent all his efforts to create Semoland in such a dangerous environment as the blood swamp.
As far as I know, he first established an academy to manage spellcasters who wanted to study more in spells. Soon after, Semeran was opened up for the mages here to live, allowing the entire Semeran to form a self-sufficient ecology.
In the hundreds of years since then, a steady stream of apprentices and escaped conjurers have added fresh blood to keep Semoland alive.
Although Semeran was in the Blood Swamp and could not expand too much, it was gradually strengthened and occupied one side of the Empty Drawer Mountain.
The laws here are tolerant and all-encompassing. Even lonely mages who cannot adapt to life in the city often choose to build their own towers in the swamp.
When necessary, they are even a force that can be used. This is something I never thought of before coming here - although it is used against me. "
"If you, an outsider, say this, this place is really a holy land."
Anmeses V smiled lightly.
"I am indeed an outsider. Not just here. This is not a pure land either."
Nesai looked cold.
"At first, I felt that everyone in Semolan was malicious and would only kill each other. There was no need to survive. I also didn't understand the intention of Anmeses I to create this place and even establish a college.
But gradually I also discovered that the people here are actually all abandoned by the outside world and have no other way out. Although the rules here are bloody and barbaric, they are the only ones that these villains understand and can enforce.
Amesses I could completely stay on his own, build a mage tower here, and surround it with traps, so that those who come will never return. The blood swamp originally turned into a terrifying environment. There have long been many terrifying legends and there was no one to control it. He can have this place all to himself.
As far as I know, this mage is also a master of mechanisms. He keeps stone carvings and dolls as his companions and does not feel lonely at all, so why bother to open an academy?
If he is really ambitious, he should select apprentices carefully and form his own mage organization like other colleges. Whether he is employed by the royal family or dominates one side, collecting tolls from passing merchants is a good choice. "
"You have given him a lot of ideas." Anmeses V chuckled, "His ideas are very simple and childish."
"Yeah?"
Nesse glanced at him. "I have to think that when Anmeses I founded Semeran, he did have the intention of protecting people who were in the same situation as him and were despised by the world."
"They are just evil people." Anmeses V said calmly, "They are not very noble."
