Chapter 314 watertight knife

After Bishop Simon was sent away, the smile on Pias’s face instantly subsided.

Caesar III was not only a thorn in the side of the Holy See, but also a thorn in the flesh of the northern nobles. The thorn has not been removed for a long time because the thorn and the flesh have grown together.

Regicide is such a dangerous job, not many people dare to think about it, let alone take action.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Holy See had something to do, and the Lochnard family and the royal family had too much grievances, he would definitely report it to the king as soon as possible.

However, since the Holy See dared to conspire, the partners it was looking for were naturally having problems with Caesar III.

Even if you don’t want to participate, you are happy to see Caesar III die.

Anyway, as long as this kind of thing is not reported at the first time, it will only rot in the stomach later.

“Humph!”

After a cold drink, Pias showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth. The gaze towards Xueyue Lake was also full of murderous intent.

This mistake seems to be Hudson’s deliberate plan, but in fact there is Caesar III behind it.

In the previous battles, nobles from all over the kingdom suffered heavy losses, but the strength of the five major families in the North was relatively intact.

Among the soldiers successfully evacuated by the Northern Expeditionary Army, the five major families accounted for half of them, which essentially broke the original balance of power.

It seems that the northern nobles can be suppressed now. That is because the major factions have united. In fact, the southern nobles are divided into multiple groups.

Not to mention whether they can unite, even if it can be done, Caesar III is unwilling to see this scene happen.

It took a lot of effort to dismantle the noble group. How could it be possible to tolerate the pressure from the nobles of the North to allow the nobles in other parts of the kingdom to unite again?

Especially in this war, the territory of the Alpha Kingdom expanded further north. If you don’t take action to suppress it, it will be the northern nobles who will gain the most benefit.

Hudson’s attack on the Lochnard family was not only because of family grievances, but also by taking advantage of domestic trends, with the support of the king and a group of southern Xinjiang nobles behind him.

The forces involved are too wide, and Hudson occupies the position of coach, so Duke Pias naturally cannot take revenge.

However, the Northland noble group still launched a silent counterattack, and concealing the matter of Xueyue Lake was one of the measures.

It doesn’t matter how many people are killed, anyway, the loss is heavy, and the Terran Alliance is responsible for the bottom line. The key is to pull Hudson off the horse.

If there is no major emergency, according to Hudson’s steady military deployment, it is impossible to be kicked out.

This kind of accident can only happen in the rear. After all, the only offensive mission of the Kingdom army, the army responsible for carrying out the mission is mainly the nobles of the Northland, and they cannot catch their own people.

Picking up a letter, and after the confidant finished sealing it, Duke Pias rushed to the head of the guard not far away and ordered: “Paul, give this secret letter to Duke Kavadia!”

The news that the Holy See wants to kill the king cannot be leaked. As nobles in the Northland, there are also differences of interest within them. Duke Pias can’t guarantee that everyone is of one mind.

The most important task now is to take Fengyue Port and earn enough military exploits for the family. In order to take away enough cakes in the next carve-up feast.

As for whether to take the risk of cooperating with the Holy See, Duke Pias has no idea.

Everything depends on whether the plan goes well. If Hudson can be taken down and replaced by one of his own people, the situation will be completely different.

Has taken the initiative and avoided the subsequent political suppression, so there is no need for him to go to extremes.

Now adopting the procrastination decision, it is Pias’s innermost hope that the Holy See will not be able to bear it anymore, and find other forces in the country to join forces to help pull out the thorn in the flesh of Caesar III.

…

“Count, there is a mysterious underground palace in the lake, which is full of altars, enshrining an idol with a human head and a snake body.

In the underground palace, we found countless white bones, as if there was a battle, but there were traces of man-made destruction at the scene. Perhaps the horror of Xueyue Lake originated from this mysterious palace! ”

Hearing this answer, Hudson was taken aback. There is actually a mysterious underground palace on the island in the lake, so the previous speculation about the volcanic lake is probably false. Could it be that the horror really comes from the underground palace?

Especially the sudden appearance of a **** with a human head and a snake body made Hudson even more puzzled. In his memory, he didn’t know that there was such a **** in the continent of Aslante.

On the contrary, in the myths and legends of the previous life, there are many similar gods, and they are all over the mythology system of East and West.

Soon Hudson calmed down, and the inherent concept killed people. It is naturally impossible to build an underground palace in the volcanic lake in the previous life, but this is an extraordinary world.

It is not impossible to keep the underground palace in the crater. Theoretically speaking, it is only necessary to arrange a magic circle to block the entrance of the volcano.

The only problem is that the energy consumption may be relatively large, especially when the volcano erupts, it is not so easy to press the magma back.

However, the most indispensable thing among volcanoes is energy. If this power can be used to maintain the long-term operation of the magic circle, it is not impossible.

If the guess is correct, then the previous encounter with the orc tribe would be easy to explain.

The magic circle is not omnipotent. Its main task is to protect the underground palace. With the erosion of the years and the natural movement of the earth’s crust, it is normal for a few small gaps to appear nearby.

The huge volcanic eruption was suppressed by the magic circle. Some small gaps still have magma ejected from the lake, causing natural disasters in local areas.

Under the circumstances of lack of cognition, being mistaken by the orcs as a curse or evil god, that makes sense.

There are fish in the lake, so it is better explained. In the continent of Aslant, there are creatures living in the high-temperature magma, not to mention lakes with slightly damaged water quality.

Especially this lake is still a living lake. The natural purification ability is also leveraged. No matter how many harmful substances there are, they will quickly become invisible under the uncanny workmanship of nature.

In an instant, Hudson had the idea to find out.

“Bear Stearns, is there no danger in this lake?”

“Don’t worry, Ben Xiong has checked it himself, and there isn’t even a monster inside. If there is any danger, the people you sent out will not come back!”

The cub stretched, yawned and said.

“Are you sure I’m not in danger?”

Hudson asked uncertainly.

Whether it is dangerous or not is always relative.

An adult Earth Bear, even if he fell into the magma, he would take a hot bath. At most, the water temperature is too hot, making it uncomfortable to wash.

It is not dangerous for Bear Stearns, but if Hudson goes there, I am afraid that there will be no bones left in an instant.

Put up the magic shield, at most let him hold on for a few more seconds, so that he can know how he is walking towards death step by step.

“Be careful, you should be fine. It seems that there are a few evil guys sealed inside, but they have all become energy bodies and can’t get out at all.

Even if they are lucky enough to break out, they will be even more unlucky if they meet you! ”

Hearing what Bear Stearns said, Hudson instantly had a bottom line. Losing the energy body of the physical body, isn’t that just giving him experience?

The compass in the body is a big energy devourer. No matter what evil **** it is, it is the food of the compass.

Along the way, all the magic crystals and cores captured by the army entered the compass.

Absorbed countless energies, the compass space is still empty, as if it will never be filled.

The evil gods who are terrified by the outside world are a great tonic when they come to Hudson, provided that they do not come in person.

“Go, let’s go and see!”

While speaking, Hudson pulled Bear Stearns off his shoulders. Mounts are used at such critical moments. Compared with rafting, it is safer to ride a bear.

“Fly slower!”

The sound of friction between the magic shield and air resistance was like thunder, and Hudson was so frightened that he hurriedly asked the cub to slow down.

This is the most unscientific place on the continent of Aslante. Powerful monsters are hardly affected by air resistance, but people can’t, or ordinary people can’t.

What happened specifically, Hudson couldn’t figure it out. Even after searching through the books in his hands, he couldn’t find a definite answer. He could only attribute it to the privilege of the strong.

Or in other words, if the strength reaches a certain level, it will breed an ability in itself, which can greatly reduce the influence of air resistance.

“Here we go!”

Hearing Bear Stearns’ reminder, Hudson slowly opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar island in the lake.

The area of ​​the island is very small, and the part above the water is only equivalent to the size of two football fields, which is not suitable for human habitation at all.

On the island, except for a few towering old trees, the ground is completely bare, as if it has been deliberately treated by someone.

With such a small area, it is no wonder that the entrance of the underground palace can be easily discovered, and it is clearly exposed to the outside world.

As soon as he set foot on the island, Hudson realized that it was unusual. Vaguely, he felt the existence of enchantment on several ancient trees.

With apprehension in mind, Hudson slowly stepped into the underground palace, and Hudson felt a unique pressure, and now he can play at most one or two points of 100% of his strength.

Deep in his heart, there was a voice that kept telling him: Don’t shoot here! don’t make a move here…

There is no need to remind him, his strength has been suppressed so badly, even if he had the guts, he would not dare to do anything in such a weird place.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the underground palace can be preserved. After all, the strong always cherish their lives, and they have always kept a respectful distance from such unknown and mysterious places.

Going forward along the tunnel, one altar after another appeared in front of Hudson, and the surrounding walls were also covered with murals. The most striking thing was the idol with a human head and a snake body.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion. Hudson always feels like he’s seen that idol somewhere, but he just can’t remember it.

Looking at the murals on the surrounding walls, it seems to be telling about this war, but the protagonist of the war is not human beings, but legendary giants, dragons, demons, angels, monsters, undead…

In my mind, I searched through the history books but couldn’t find any records similar to this war.

There is too little information in his hand, only the content on the mural, Hudson really doesn’t know what is recorded.

There are written records around the murals, but it is a pity that Hudson’s knowledge is limited, and he doesn’t know these winding pictographs at all.

“Bear Stearns, have you inherited these words?”

Hudson asked concerned.

Compared with the short history of the rise of human beings, Warcraft has dominated the mainland for a longer time. Before the rise of various races, the earliest masters of the mainland were monsters.

Speaking of the oldest race, the Earth Bear is definitely one of them. It’s a pity that this race has a lot of power, but it doesn’t have the intention to fight for hegemony on the mainland, and it’s not even active in making bears.

If the desire to reproduce is stronger, no matter how difficult it is to reproduce, you can become the second dragon.

“This is a prehistoric text! It seems to be about the end of the era, when demons and angels invaded the mainland, and all races united to resist.

It’s just that the devil and the angel aren’t rivals, how could they be united?

There is no such war in the inheritance memory of Ben Xiong, either?

The picture clearly shows that the Earth Bear participated in the battle. If there are ancestors involved, this part of knowledge will definitely be recorded! ”

Bear Stearns exclaimed.

It really refreshes the view of Xiong Sheng!

“Is there a possibility that demons and angels were not opposed in ancient times, but became mortal enemies only because of what happened later?

From the vicissitudes of the murals, it can be determined that this underground palace has existed for countless years. The magic circle guarding the underground palace has been able to operate until now, and the owner of this place is definitely not easy.

There is no need for such a big man to make up a story to fool us younger generations.

It was all a thing before the last epoch, whether the content is true or not, it is no longer important now.

As for your inherited memory, it is even simpler. Either it was erased by someone, or the Earth Bears who participated in the battle all died on the battlefield.

Recall carefully, is there an ancient war in your inheritance memory, and is there any information recorded in specific content. ”

Hudson made up his mind directly.

Fortunately, he is not an aborigine, otherwise he would definitely be numb by the contents of the mural.

“It seems that there was indeed a war, but it is really far away from the current time.

It seems that in that era, there were no human races on the mainland? Even the Lord of Dawn and the God of Beasts have not risen yet.

It’s a pity that these memories are very little, and they are just a simple mention, which should be deleted by the ancestors.

After all, our inheritance memory capacity is also limited. To add some content, it is necessary to delete some unnecessary things. ”

Bear Stearns said uncertainly.

Looking at the confused bear eyes, Hudson wanted to laugh. Inheritance memory capacity is limited?

This sounds right, but in fact, the inheritance memory of the Earth Bear family is far from the limit of their brain capacity.

During the last chat, Bear Stearns boasted that after he became the bear king, he would put the history of bear life into the inheritance memory.

If you want to leave a legacy memory, the lowest threshold is the bear king. This is also the reason why Bear Stearns has a lot of common sense and lags behind.

After all, the number of earth bears is too rare, and the probability of a bear king is really not high.

Even Xiong Sheng’s growth process can be artistically processed and put into the inheritance memory for later Xiong to admire and learn from. Why delete the ancient inheritance?

You must know that this kind of ancient secret is useless in normal times, but once it comes in handy, it can save the bear’s life.

Something must have happened behind this, causing the Earth Bear to give up this part of the inherited memory; or an external force intervened to forcibly erase this part of the memory of the Earth Bear family.

History has been reduced to memory, and the current Aslante continent is no longer a continent where even gods can swim freely. The rules of the world have changed, and there is simply no room for those superpowers.

With doubts in his mind, he walked near the idol, and a seductive voice came from Hudson’s ear: “Break this statue, and I will give you supreme power and help you dominate the world!”

It sounded like a big villain, making him seem like a fool, Hudson rolled his eyes directly

It also “gives supreme power to dominate the world”. If you really have this ability, you can just come out from under the statue. Why make it so complicated?

“Who are you? Who sealed you here?”

Hudson asked pretendingly.

While speaking, he did not forget to distract and suppress the compass that was about to move in his body. There are not many opportunities to peep into the secrets of the ancient times. It is not too late to test a few words first, and then let the compass swallow them.

“It’s all those **** demons, they used despicable means, paid the price of dying together, and sealed me here.

Child, as long as you let me out, my great Lord of Light will make you the king of the world!

As long as you smash this statue, the whole world is yours. Everything in the world lives for you and dies for you!

Go for it, boy!

only…”

Before the Lord of Light finished speaking, Hudson replied: “Okay, wait a moment!”

The originally suppressed compass was suddenly released, and a huge attraction went straight to the Lord of Light.

“Do not…”

Just spit out a single word, and the Lord of Light, who spoke so loudly, turned into a ball of pure energy.

Seeing this scene, Hudson smiled slightly. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been sealed for too long, my brain is ruined, and I’m not professional enough to even make up nonsense.

Evil demons paid the price of their lives to seal the light, which is simply nonsense.

There are so many demons hiding on the mainland, Hudson has never heard of that demon willing to sacrifice his life to destroy the light.

On the contrary, it was the strong men of all ethnic groups who made sacrifices one after another in order to seal the evil spirits.

Originally, he wanted to ask a few more questions, but thinking of this evil god’s mouth full of lies, even if he asked useful information, he couldn’t believe it was true.

Anyway, it was a matter of countless years ago. Whether he knew it or not had little effect on him, so he simply dealt with the evil **** first.

Now is the era of the Lord of Dawn, even if he is really the Lord of Light, he will still be treated by the evil god.

Looking at the increased energy bar in the compass, Hudson secretly sighed: This wave is not in vain! With the selfless dedication of this “Lord of Light”, he is almost catching up with all his gains in this war.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly a phantom appeared on the idol, and when he opened his mouth, Hudson was frightened to death.

“You finally came!”
