Putting the events of Muye Town behind them, the group had no intention of looking back to see if the townspeople had a better life. Lin and his party continued to move forward along the road, targeting the district branch headquarters of the Magicians Association in their area.
Along the way, I rushed slowly and hurriedly, not as leisurely as before. This was because the killer weapon Fen carried was not a completely sealed container, and it exuded the aura of a ruler unbridled. Not only were all the wild beasts and monsters avoided along the way, but Master Lin and his disciples were also uncomfortable in various ways. Although he was not sick, he was listless and thought about a million ways to die all day long.
Therefore, I hope to rush to the branch headquarters as soon as possible, find suitable materials, and use a more formal method to make sealed containers. On the other hand, I also hope to get a more detailed map of the surrounding environment at the branch headquarters.
Because Lin was busy before, he could only record the areas he passed through. For unknown places, he could only rely on the maps provided by others. What the Magicians Association can provide is generally enough for operations within a zone. It's just that the map provided by the association only focuses on the locations within each district. If you want to move across districts, you will inevitably face this kind of blindness.
Fortunately, the simple map obtained from the orc mercenary group was fairly accurate. As soon as their location was confirmed, the group followed the route and headed straight to Shanling City, the headquarters of the branch in this area.
The traditional southwest region of the Lost World, that is, excluding the southwest peninsula, is the area before the Doomsday Mountains. Its terrain is mountainous and hilly, with plains forming a basin terrain. The terrain is characterized by inconvenient transportation, and the area available for development is fragmented and of varying sizes, so it has naturally become an isolation zone for civilization.
The people who come to this area either came here after being defeated or fleeing from war, or they came here to avoid the disasters of war. Although several city-states were established, they were all insignificant. It was normal for government orders and forces to be unable to leave the basin they occupied, so it was impossible to form a large-scale country. In the eyes of those established kingdoms and empires, this is a group of country monkeys who dominate the territory.
This place is divided into the Basque District by the Magicians Association, which is the largest area among all the branches of the Association. However, the number of registered magicians is at the lower end of all regional guilds. Similar to the number of magicians, compared to the land area, the Homo sapiens living here can be said to be vast and sparsely populated.
Despite this, the headquarters of the Basque Country Chapter, Mountain Edge City, is actually a magic tower well known in the Lost World.
This magic tower originally had no name. It was just a four-story tower built by a great magician who took refuge here. But... "The reason why this tower is so famous seems to have something to do with you." Lin, who sat back in the driver's seat, turned around and said to the former Demon King.
"What's the relationship?" Fen stopped typing the program code and looked at someone who was talking about ancient times. Having been sealed for more than a thousand years, she was very interested in what happened in this world, or what happened in another world. Not to mention that Lin also mentioned that this matter had something to do with him.
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, as long as they are human beings, they will care about others' evaluations of themselves. This is true even for lichs whose strength is beyond that of mortals. As for Fen's curiosity, Lin had no appetite for it. In fact, he had done so before and it had ended badly, so he said directly:
"At the end of the Dark Age, the last Demon King's army was wiped out. At that time, the resistance forces were concentrated at the Mountain Tower, so that tower was also called the last bridgehead of the Dark Age. And at that time, your death was just a few steps away. That is to say, more than two hundred years have passed since the day when the devil was killed. And one year later, in order to show the arrival of a new era, the Aramaic calendar used today was established, which was the first year of Aram."
"The relationship you are talking about is this kind of relationship." Fen said with some disappointment.
Someone is quite helpless. "You don't want to think about what kind of reputation you had back then. Could it be that what you want others to spread is that you watched fish swimming upstream somewhere, or that when you were young, in order to study magic hard, you let a bowl of porridge cool down. Cut it into four pieces and eat one piece in the morning and evening. A bowl of porridge can last for two days."
"What do you mean when you were young?" Fen asked someone fiercely with a fierce look in his eyes.
I said, sister, you only heard those three words in the whole complaint.
However, the ferocious eyes immediately faded, and Fen asked again: "Then do you know who led the last Demon King's army?"
Although his expression was no longer ferocious and his eyes were fierce, the calm hatred still made people shudder. Lin tried hard to recall the history books of Midi he had read, and vaguely remembered them. He said: "If I remember correctly, it seems that a man named General Skeleton gathered some remnants of the Demon King's army, hid in the area now known as the Malaga Basin, and launched a protracted war with the resistance. Great war."
"It's him. That brainless idiot."
"What, you know it too!" What a shame! There is something wrong with me. He was a subordinate of this person at the beginning. How could he not recognize him? So Lin changed his mind and asked, "What kind of person is that person?"
"You're just an idiot. Otherwise, how much wisdom does that brainless skeleton have? You think that you can lead an undead army and walk around the world. If I see him once, I will beat him once. Beat him many times. He behaved himself. But it seems that he didn’t beat him enough to make that damn guy dare to betray him. If I had known better, I should have torn him apart and fed him to the dogs.”
Well, it seems that the hatred is still very deep, and people don’t know whether to complain or not. Whether it was from that name or from Fen's own words, that skeleton general should be an undead skeleton. I desperately emphasize that skeletons have no brains... I mean it would be more scary if skeletons had brains and internal organs.
However, Halumi rode his horse and passed by the carriage for an unknown number of times. Every time, she would look at her sister with a strange look, but she hesitated to speak.
"Tell me, tell me." Looking at the girl passing by again, Fen simply closed the window in the field of vision of his glasses, looked at Hallumi and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask. Don't walk around like this. Come on, I almost fainted because of you."
"Hmm~, Sister." The apprentice cautiously asked about the secrets belonging to the lich's era. "Why did you say that the vampire you met before was a betrayer? And the general just now..."
It seemed that he was a little reluctant to say it, and Fen also wanted to talk about the memories that were evoked. She just didn't know where to start, so she thought for a while and then said to Kaya and Lin who were also eavesdropping with their ears pricked up, and Halumi who was asking questions:
"You have all heard your teacher tell you so many conspiracies and intrigues in their history, and there are just as many intrigues. So let me test you. If there are only four of you, okay, just the four of us. If we want to defeat What’s the simplest way for a king to be protected by a hundred thousand troops?”
"Just defeat the king?" Halumi asked.
"Yes, because once the king falls, the army will become a mess, which is easier to deal with."
"If I'm not infiltrating, I'm inciting those armies to rebel." Halumi answered casually, without any hesitation or hesitation.
"Yeah, that's what they did back then?" Fen answered even more smoothly and casually. But everyone who listened had their eyes widened, with expressions of surprise on their faces, and Harumi couldn't even answer the question.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Fenton felt it was worth it. He felt a little inexplicably proud and said: "Otherwise you think that only four people, who are called brave men, can break through the three million army in my heyday. Come to my throne. They are a group of betrayers. Even the guards of my royal city have never fought against the invading enemies, and let them come to me in full posture. This is the truth about the brave men you call them. "
Harumi, who was in shock, struggled to answer the question and asked: "The four brave men colluded with the Demon King's army at that time?"
"Well, I don't think so." Fen recalled what happened that day. She said, "Those four people seemed quite surprised to find me directly."
"So you have a big fight."
"No." Fen gave another surprising answer to the blonde girl's question. She said: "With those four little hairy heads, even if I stand still and let them chop them off, I won't lose a single hair for a hundred years. There's still a fight."
"What about you?" Hallumi gestured towards her neck, shoulders and thighs, naturally hinting at Fen's dismemberment. But the Lich seemed to have nothing to do with it and said, "I'm just tired of living. Those ungrateful bitches, if I hadn't helped them, they wouldn't have been able to tear me down. I can't even kill myself." Yes. The only condition is that my dismembered parts are sealed everywhere, and I don’t want to be resurrected. As a result, those little guys didn’t keep their word.”
Wait... This amount of information is a bit large. Although Lin was just listening, he felt trembling. He said: "When you were first resurrected, you looked like you were bitter and full of hatred, and you were staring at the descendants of the Four Heroes. Why?"
"Their ancestors didn't keep their word, so it's just enough for me to spank them, isn't it? Besides, you may have forgotten, so I'll help you regain your memory. Regarding those four people, you were the first to mention it, not me."
"Ah, you ran out and walked around for a while before coming back?"
"It's not like I just woke up...ah! No, I just came back to life. My head is not clear yet. What's wrong with going out for a walk and calming down?"
"In other words, if the descendants of the four brave men are still alive, you will not cause trouble to them? Is that what you mean?"
"No, let's beat them. Didn't I just say that their ancestors didn't keep their promises, so I just beat them."
