Sophia's call was emotionally complicated to the extreme, she was afraid that her plot would provoke the wrath of the thunder, so she subconsciously prayed that her judgment was wrong, and she strongly hoped that it was true, hoping that her father could save her from the hands of this hateful magician, and that she would no longer have to worry about being killed and killed, and that she would no longer have to be a dangerous and painful "experimental assistant".
"Byer" turned his head to look at her, and bowed his head slightly: "All conspiracies must be based on strength, do you understand this truth now?"
He was really Emperor Rudolf II, the legendary powerhouse who was not weaker than the Grand Arcanist But his body is obviously Beyer's, how can he hide it from Nulenbeck and other heavenly knights to check that he also has a transformation mask And his current aura doesn't seem to feel like a legend In any case, in the face of a legend, Lucien was unprecedentedly nervous, hormones were secreting wildly, his body trembled slightly, his brain became more and more awake, and his right hand stretched into the storage bag was pulled out little by little.
Rudolf II glanced at Lucian, his gaze continued to stare at the statue, and he said to the air in front of him as if praising and self-deprecating: "I didn't even notice that there was another high-level magician mixed in, your disguise ability is very good, not bad." ” Seeing that although his attitude was arrogant and there was no one in his eyes, he was not aggressive, and there were no signs that he was about to make a move, Lucien didn't want to rush to attack, and tried to keep his voice steady while being on high alert: "I didn't find you the Great Emperor either." ” "I started from here and stepped into the unprecedented peak of the Divine Family, so naturally I want to find a time to come back and observe what else is hidden in the Plantagenet Family to determine the direction of the future, but I didn't expect it, but you surprised me inexplicably."
With his back straight, his hands behind his back, and his eyes level at the statue of Tanos in front of him, Rudolf II said frankly, as if there was nothing to fear, no secrets to hide.
Lucien wasn't as relaxed as he was, his muscles were sore from his nervousness and fear, but he managed to stay in good shape and cope with any changes that could arise at any time.
Hearing Rudolf II say this, Lucien was shocked: "Emperor, you also promoted to legend by fusing the devil projection" This is much more exaggerated than the ritual effect he imagined Hmph, Rudolf II sneered: "Am I a dark and obscene person like Ulrich" "Stupid people only see the benefits of merging devil projections, but people like me and Tanos are able to discover their inner essence through superficial phenomena and find their own path without being affected by greed."
"This world is destined to belong to people like us."
Arrogant and domineering, extremely confident, Rudolf II did not hide it in the slightest.
Lucien savored the words of Rudolf II, and suddenly his heart moved: "The Emperor, like the devils of greed, hatred, and pain, you have pre-projected into the heart or soul of Prince Baier, so you have escaped the inspection of the Duke of Plantagenet, and when the critical moment comes, you can occupy and indulge Prince Baier's body like a devil, and draw strength to grow."
Rudolf II turned his head slowly, looked at Lucien seriously for the first time since he came in, and then bowed slightly: "Very sharp, very intelligent, although there are mistakes, but that's roughly it." ” He didn't point out where Lucien had guessed wrong, which might have something to do with a deeper secret.
Lucien's heart was filled with astonishment, what kind of path Rudolf II had taken, how could he turn himself into a "weird" being similar to a greedy, demon-hating ghost, but not "evil".
And if you know this secret, will you be killed by Rudolf II Under the nervous mood of slight fear, Lucien seems to be able to hear the sound of his heart pounding, but this does not affect Lucian's thinking, judgment and firmness, even if there is no hope, he will not give up, he will move forward bravely, strive to create new hope, and never give in to fate His right hand stopped at the mouth of the storage bag, ready to be activated at any time.
Sophia, who was under the statue, watched her father talk calmly with the mysterious magician, and didn't understand why this happened for a while, until this time, she came to her senses, her father was not far away, and the legend was strong enough to protect herself at this distance, so her voice was high-pitched, full of grievances and hatred and cried: "Father, he, he wants to kill me, and let me do extremely dangerous things, you kill him" This is the most hated and hated guy she has ever lived Lucien was startled by her voice and almost lost control of the lead, but fortunately he stopped abruptly and focused on Rudolf II's reaction.
Rudolf II glanced at Sophia lightly: "Don't you see that after I projected on Baier, I only have the level of seven or eight heavenly knights, what to do to kill him, under the influence of power, you are sure that you can survive" Poof, Lucien almost sprayed Rudolf II on the other side with a spit on his face, and this can also be said bluntly whether His Majesty the Emperor is really frank and almost cute, or does he want to relax himself in order to take the opportunity to attack if it is the latter, is it necessary "Originally, I was sure to kill you, but the nine-ring magic released by spellcasting materials made me a little intimidated, and it was the latest achievement of the Magic Council," Rudolf II continued his frank style.
He didn't pay much attention to the pale justice in Lucian's hands, he was barely an epic knight, even if the projection was only seven or eight levels of strength, he didn't worry about being killed, besides, he was not an "evil" creature, and the pale justice was only equivalent to the level of an eighth-level heavenly knight.
Lucien nodded slightly, confirming Rudolf II's guess.
Rudolf II nodded thoughtfully: "My principle of doing things has always been simple, and I am not too sure that I will kill you, so I choose not to do it, so as not to let Sophia and Baier be affected and killed, but if you are arrogant and have to fight, I don't mind letting you know that you are powerful."
Sons and daughters can be reborn when they die, and the projection will be slightly injured at most if they lose their body, and you, can you afford such a loss, you are not a lich, nor an archmage.
Come here, Sophia. ” Sophia regained her heart and looked at Lucien in fear, fearing that he would go to extremes, and at the same time, step by step, she slowly moved towards Rudolf II.
Lucien weighed the pros and cons, combined with his own judgment of Rudolf II's current situation, and pressed back on his plan to hold Sophia hostage and threaten him.
Sophia finally moved to Rudolf II's side, and was truly relaxed, tears welling up in her eyes, her legs limp, and her whole body trembling with excitement.
"You made two mistakes in your plan this time, one is that your own strength is not enough, or the strength to be directly loyal to you is not enough, and you have to rely on Miranda to clear the field and put your own safety in the hands of a partner who cannot fully believe, and the other is that you choose to cooperate with Ulrich."
"He is a poisonous snake with a spit on his core, and all the plans he has made are in his favor, but they do not bring him too much danger, and as for the safety of his partners, it is not in his consideration.
You should learn from him that, as a qualified conspirator, you should not be in the palace at this time, but in the basement outside, safe but pretending to be anxious to rescue. ” "As for Miranda's pain at the end of her life, which was secretly accumulated in this special underground palace, and then triggered by Andris's extreme painful emotions, it is an unexpected change of events, which is not something you can expect in advance, and can only be avoided in advance by means like Ulrich."
Rudolf II actually opened his mouth to analyze Sophia's defeat.
Sophia looked at him in amazement: "Father, father, you don't blame me, you don't blame me for almost killing my brother, you don't blame me for killing so many noble children" "Young griffons can only grow in iron and blood."
Rudolf II replied briefly, "But the problems you have left behind must be solved by yourself." ” Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look back at the mysterious magician in the center of the hall, and suddenly wailed in her heart, why did the conspiracy she was planning to become a "child" game under the "supervision" of two "adults", although it was a "child" game that killed many people.
In their eyes, aren't their previous actions ridiculously naïve Suddenly, the underground palace shook, and the magic array fluctuated violently.
"It's about to break out there by force," Rudolf II looked distractedly upward.
Sophia was overjoyed, and when a few heavenly knights outside came in, they would be able to kill the damn mysterious magician, no, it was better to capture him alive, and she had to see his true appearance and torture him well It was at this time that Lucien directly inspired the things that he had previously held in his right hand.
Although Rudolf II did not attack him now, it does not mean that he really does not want to do it, when the underground palace is opened, he may entangle himself, and when the time comes, Duke Plantagenet, Count Nurembeck and other heavenly knights will participate in the siege again, and he will not even have the possibility of escaping Sophia glanced at Lucien in the center of the hall with happy eyes, but was shocked to see that a scroll in his right hand lit up, bursting into a thick darkness, as if it had broken through the spatial barrier of the magic array that was about to shatter Then, a chaotic sense of space-time distortion emerged, the black fog vanished, and the mysterious mage vanished.
"He was able to escape," Sophia shook her head in disbelief.
Rudolf II narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "The night shuttle of the vampire clan" As for the chaotic teleportation that followed, he wasn't the slightest surprised.
Seeing that his daughter was still shaking her head in frustration, Rudolf II turned around and said, "Go back to the outer layer, the existence here will continue to hide from Ulrich, I want to see what he will become in the end." ” He didn't think about destroying it, because it was likely that he would come to "observe" often.
"Yes."
Sophia replied in despair.
Rudolf II's voice suddenly became cold: "But before that" His right hand suddenly stretched out, grabbing Sophia with an inexplicable lightness, and in Sophia's stunned gaze, he grabbed a strange black shadow from her body, a black shadow full of infinite pain.
"The projection of the Devil of Pain is not really dead, it is still attached to me," Sophia was unusually afraid.
Rudolf II clenched his right hand, and the black shadow screamed and was compressed into a ball
