Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 48 Strike
"He has been killed by you, why do you still..." Artes looked at the headless corpse on the ground and the gradually expanding pool of blood, and couldn't bear to say.

"Are you trying to say why I don't respect his corpse, right?" Brian controlled the gray horse to avoid the corpse and the smell of blood, "Or is my behavior what you call 'blood for blood, A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye?'”

Artes lowered his rather ugly face, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Apparently, he was responding to Brian's speculation with his own silence.

"I have to say, there is one thing your father said is very correct." Brian continued: "This is the way to fight evil! When the evil wants to hurt you, you must beat them before they do it, pay them back the pain, beat you. They caught one by surprise!"

Bryan looked at Artus: "This is repaying evil for evil! Let the opponent wail in pain and scream until his eyes pop out of their sockets. Then, you can lower your head and announce loudly that the existence under your feet is no longer threatened." Even if it touches you, it can’t hurt you anymore. Because only the evil that is drowned in blood is not evil.”

"He's just an outspoken adventurer, and he didn't mean to hurt you, which is different from the evil you said." Artes retorted in a low voice:
"Besides, scholars often say 'there is no vacuum in nature'. Everything has its place, and you say that what you kill with your sword and pour in a pool of blood is no longer evil. Then what does it belong to? Have you thought No?"

"Why should I think about this?" Brian said, "Does killing people still need to consider their ownership?"

"Because you are afraid that once you start to stop and think." Artes said bluntly: "Killing will lose its meaning. This will make you gradually become anxious and hesitant until you can't even lift your sword."

"You are talking about yourself, otherwise the people of Thorn Castle would not regard the future heir to the duke as a joke, it is simply naive and terrifying." Brian retorted:
"It seems that compared with your father, your mother-in-law's character is indeed not qualified at all. They are simply two extremes. Are you planning to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses?"

Artes turned pale and remained silent again.

"Since there is nothing to say, then get out of my sight quickly and don't waste my time here." Brian tightened the reins and turned to look at the misty wilderness drifting in the distance.

As described by the dead Ranger Captain, this place is indeed very close to the Grimri River. No wonder these people would rather contradict Artes than take a step forward.

"I plan to go with you." Artes suddenly raised his head and expressed his thoughts.

"You?" Brian heard the words, met the other's firm eyes, and was suddenly amused by his innocence.

The few rangers just now have made it very clear that as long as the elves see humans approaching their territory, they will shoot them mercilessly, and the reason why he went there was precisely because of his identity as a half-elf.

Even so, going to Blackman had to walk carefully, so Artes' request was no different from sending him to death.

Of course, if the other party insisted on going, he didn't bother to stop him, since he wasn't the one who died anyway.

"I must go!"

Artes said firmly: "Two years ago, the Tasha invaded the border of the kingdom. It was my elder brother who went to Blackman alone and successfully persuaded the elves of Blackman, so that the army of the kingdom could concentrate on fighting against the Tasha. attack.

Now, the unruly Andairs are always looking for opportunities, and the Tashas are ready to move on the border again, preparing for the next general attack.If at this time, Blackman's elves take this opportunity to spread the slogans of 'freedom' and 'restore the old order' to all non-human races in the kingdom, and let the elf rangers fight guerrilla warfare in our rear, then the Kingdom of West is very It is possible that the country is not far from subjugation. "

He didn't expect the situation to be so serious, Brian thought to himself after listening to Artus's analysis.

From Artes' words, it can be seen that Blackman's elves were definitely instigated and used by some people with intentions, and then they reaped the benefits themselves.

Brian calmed down and said: "Don't forget your identity. Although you are the heir to the duke, your father is as strong as a mad bull in the arena. The entire kingdom still has the royal family of golden griffins. The point where you are such a brat to worry about."

"My father's method is to use the formed griffin troops and trained rangers, and join forces with Tigrila's army to completely solve the hidden danger of elves as quickly as possible." Artes calmly analyzed:

"Although this method seems to be very effective, even if you win the battle with the elf ranger in the forest, the final price you pay will be very heavy, so I want to solve it through peaceful means."

"Boy, you don't understand elves at all." Brian said with a worried expression after being silent for a long time.

"My elder brother doesn't understand elves either, but he succeeded two years ago." Artes replied.

"So he's dead." Brian lowered his voice as low as he could.

"If my death can bring back peace on the border, I think it's all worth it." Artes hesitated for a moment, tightened his grip on the reins, and said firmly.

"What a courageous heir to the duke." Brian sarcastically said: "Then let me ask you, compared with your elder brother, what do you think you are better at? That's right! You are inferior to him in everything!
As the lucky heir to the duke, three years ago, your beloved was murdered by a wolf man, and you couldn't protect her. One year ago, in a knightly duel full of glory, you were even beheaded by your opponent. One month ago, His fiancée even ran away with a poet who could only sing.

With your virtue, even the soldiers of Thorn Castle dare to tell you what to do, you don't really think that you can become the hero of the kingdom, do you? "

"Go away! Don't be an eyesore here. If you have this spare time, you might as well go back and look in the mirror to see if you look like a mouse dropping."

After Brian finished speaking, he secretly apologized in his heart to the heir to the duke who almost fell off his horse, and then put his feet on the horse's belly and rode away.

In fact, he still has a little fondness for the heir to the duke.

The purpose of deliberately attacking him was not to let him go to Blacktman with him.

Because he is well aware of the virtues of the elves in the Elf Holy Land, and at the same time, he also understands that Artes can't be the master of the Duke of Swift.

If this heir to the duke, who is not afraid of death, died in the holy land of elves like his elder brother.

Then, the Duke of Swift, who lost his two sons in the same place, may not really be like a mad cow, slaughtering elves recklessly, and even vent his anger on non-human races that have integrated into human society.

Although the target of his trip to the Holy Land of the Elf is an ancient evil, and he will not participate in the war between the two sides, it does not mean that he will really stand on the sidelines numbly.
