How do I break the team invitation from my old enemy?

"Adrihiger said that everything is under control," Lin Wei looked at the huge statue of the goddess: "When the goddess has not recovered her full strength, she is forced to awaken, and when she has a body, we can cause substantial damage to her .”

Duan Yu glanced at the empty and deserted surroundings: "Is the battlefield here?"

"Well, the Magic Association was evacuated yesterday, and the state of war was activated. Now only the law enforcers and high-level magicians are left in the floating capital."

"It was only yesterday that I realized why Adrihiger always liked to talk about Callaway instead of the floating capital. He never regarded this place as the capital of magic." Lin Wei and Duanyu stood side by side, leaning on their backs On the wall, she narrated her experience in the past two days: "The floating city is the creation of the goddess. She wants to choose the place closest to the sun as her altar, and it is also the place where the goddess is suppressed. The main body of the floating island is the five-color sun." Stone, engraved with countless large magic circles. Magicians walk on it, learn from each other, and cast magic. The magic fluctuations are all absorbed by the magic circle, and turned into the power to suppress the goddess. Together with the magic circles of the other five valleys of elements, they are far away Echoing, and then centering on the place where the gun of Longinus sank in the center of the Siren Sea, it was opened at the cost of the "burning" of the leaders of the first generation of magic associations and other outstanding magicians of various races, and a complete magic circle was formed. ', its ultimate purpose is to suppress the elemental storm and suppress the gods."

"And now, half of the Longinus spear's power is almost exhausted, and the gods have awakened. Although the strength of the magical world has not made a huge leap, it is much stronger than when it was almost dead at the end of the dark age, and the power of the gods stagnated Let’s not go forward—‘Quiling’ has delayed our peace for 1000 years, and now it’s finally time to completely wipe out the gods and find a new way out.”

There are still some things he didn't say. At this time in his previous life, Adrichig believed that the magical world could not completely fight against the gods, so he adopted the most conservative method: countless magicians burned themselves to continue the life of "Quilling".Unexpectedly, the war with the mainland started when magic was at its weakest, and the consequences were extremely bad...

He continued: "I also figured out a lot of things, and now there is only one left, why the gods didn't choose to dedicate their power to suppress the elemental storm - as long as they take the initiative, they will not be forced to sleep at all."

Duanyu asked him, "Who is the teacher?"

It took Lin Wei a moment to realize that the "teacher" was the gray-clothed old man in the shop—the little duke always called him "the old man" in his heart, and the magician was very polite.

He peeked into the window quietly, as if he was afraid of being heard, he communicated with his soul and had a dialogue.

"He is an old friend of Adrihiger, he is a very powerful person, maybe he came from the Dark Ages - I suspect he is Quilling, he is too familiar with the magic circle of the floating capital, and He likes to accept students, which is completely in line with the identity of the founder of the Magic Academy. Adrichig also mentioned his days on the magic wheel with Quilling! But the name of the old man’s shop is very confusing. Eisenstein is a rock god , they should be in opposition."

"Is he also immortal?"

Lin Wei shook his head: "I don't think so, only Adrihiger is the real immortal. The old man should have excellent strength, but he can't reach the point where the gods are almost assimilated with the elements, so his life span is prolonged, and his body is very old. "

Their conversation went on without a hitch, and the magician was aware of it.

"Your soul strength?"

"Enhanced. I went to the Valley of Sharp Gold and got a piece of the holy spear - you have a lot in common with its soul, and then I got some pieces of the goddess in the dead marsh."

"You went to the Dead Marsh again."

"I formed a bond with Shuilan and Alan, and then went to the palace, where there are fragments of the goddess' dreams."

Duanyu asked him, "Are you okay?"

"Very good," Lin Wei squinted his eyes: "It went very smoothly... because my soul and emotions are very stable, and the power of sadness in the dream won't affect me too much."

They looked at each other in the morning light, and Lin Wei touched his nose in embarrassment.He knew that Juanyu must have also remembered the time when the two of them entered the palace for the first time - he was swayed by the goddess' sorrow, and his emotions were completely out of control, as if he was crying... It was really embarrassing.

Thinking like this, he remembered his helpless mood and the oath made by the magician at that time, and a lot of unbelievable softness and sourness spread in his heart, like the branches of white roses climbing up the window in early spring, flexible and light, with Velvet.

"I didn't resonate with the goddess this time, probably because of you... Thank you." He said.

After Lin Wei finished speaking, he smiled helplessly: "You often say 'thank you' to me, and we always thank you back and forth."

"I don't know how to say it," the magician looked at him seriously, "It seems that this is the only way to express it."

"Well, I am also like this sometimes-in fact, I have to thank fate, there is no need to talk about this between us." Lin Wei suddenly became a little dazed: "I am already very satisfied, but sometimes I still get greedy-I think I can understand to the charm of eternal life."

These words were really out of context, but he understood what he wanted to say.Recently, he often feels that time is short, as if he will wake up from a dream if he is not paying attention, and see the mocking face of fate.

They didn't say anything else, they just looked at the sky together, the morning light turned from dark red to golden, and the moment the first ray of sunlight fell in the morning was the beginning of the goddess' awakening.

Lin Wei suddenly felt a slight change in the souls of the people around him.

No, not only the soul, but also the breath of the whole body - but I didn't pay attention to it before.

His soul seemed to be more condensed, and he felt more and more cold and powerful.

"It's my father's soul." Duan Yu answered his question: "All his power will gradually come to me, which is also a kind of inheritance."

"He..." Lin Wei recalled the phrase "I can't wait for that time" when Ruijin Zhigu said goodbye.

"He is about to gain eternal life." The magician looked towards his hometown in the north.

The dark gold blood dripped into the frozen soil in the north, the magic circle shimmered, the farewell was silent, and the farewell words were like blessings.

When the last drop fell, the ground of the entire floating city buzzed and trembled.

"When I left the Valley of Sharp Gold yesterday, he kissed my forehead and said 'good luck'," Lin Wei said. "Magicians are always very calm in the face of death, but I still feel that commemoration is essential."

He tiptoed slightly, and kissed Duanyu's forehead: "For you."

The first ray of sunlight shone on the eyelids of the gray-robed old man, and he sighed: "It's started."

Immediately he opened his eyes—the eyes that were always cloudy and old in the past had a strange brilliance at this moment. He got up from the cot and looked at the figures of the two young people outside the window. The atmosphere is peaceful, harmonious and soft.

The old man didn't know what he remembered, it looked like a memory, he smiled, and narrowed his eyes again: "Love—hey, love!"

The bard said that ripe love is in the corner of a woman's eye, and unripe love is in a maiden's cheek.

Heidi looked at herself in the mirror. The court servants pulled up her long hair and put on some bright hair accessories, which shone brightly in the morning sun. The light complemented the cufflinks and buttons.

She had worn the exquisite dress of a noble girl, but it was the first time she wore the complicated and solemn court dress for a grand ceremony.

Pulling up her hair made her less girlish, and the palace dress concealed her innocence and youthfulness. For the first time in her life, she realized that the person in the mirror was different from the little girl running up and down in the astrology tower.

Time is frightening, she thought, and I am old enough to marry.

Her face flushed suddenly, like the faintly drunk sunset glow at dusk.

But the older maid smiled and said, "Girl, you are so beautiful—it's a pity that you haven't married yet. When you officially marry His Majesty, your clothes will only look better than this."

She turned her eyes away in horror, no longer looking at herself.

The people in the palace got the news from nowhere, or it was the acquiescence of His Majesty, and they all regarded her as the future queen.

But I haven't figured it out yet, she thought, why things have suddenly come to this, Gregory—because he likes me?

Time did not allow her to sort out her tangled and unspeakable emotions. The new emperor invited her to attend the coronation ceremony, and the carriage was already waiting outside.

"It is the undisputed emperor, the new master of the empire, we are here today..."

The music played, the Supreme Elder read the proclamation, and the Royal Knights added to the majestic atmosphere, suppressing the inexplicable and always painful expressions of the people present.

Heidi sensed that the elemental storm was about to start—she released a magic barrier, covering the elders and Gregory on the high platform.

She looked at where the great nobles were, and Daniel asked with his eyes, and she nodded to show that she was still safe.

Proclamation of elders, oath of emperor, conferment, coronation, fealty, and celebration are the six parts of the ceremony.

The white-bearded elder handed over the emperor's belongings to him one by one.

"The scepter in hand today is for the supreme power."

"The long sword in my hand today is the responsibility of defending the frontier and expanding the land."

Scepter, long sword, emblem... and the last thing, an ancient scroll.

Heidi frowned, she felt the surging magical power on it - it was a scroll of forbidden spells.

If Lin Wei were here, he would recognize that this is one of the three scrolls in the royal family's collection, the "Kingdom of God" kept by the emperor himself.

"The Kingdom of God is here today, for the faithful faith."

After the conferment was completed, the elder held a golden crown inlaid with rubies to crown the new emperor, and the new director of the empire completely sat on the throne.

The titles of nobility go up in order from low to high, showing that their loyalty to the empire and the emperor will never change.

Even though the people were terrified by the pain all over their bodies, they waited with bated breath for the last two—Duke Thedis and His Royal Highness Berland to offer their allegiance, and prepared for the necessary cheers after the allegiance ceremony was completed.

To everyone's surprise, His Highness Bran stepped forward first.

He walked past the expensive and exquisite long carpet, stood in the center of the Empire Square, and spoke in a deep voice, which could be heard by the audience for some reason—probably the masterpiece of the alchemist behind him.

"Your lords, nobles, and tens of thousands of imperial citizens here." His Highness Bolan's figure was slender and tall, and his tone was gentle and powerful, making people involuntarily listen.

"Today my dear brother is crowned, I know, it is a day of national rejoicing - forgive me for interrupting the joy, I must state a fact - we are running out of time, the Empire faces the greatest , the heaviest peril."

On the high platform, Gregory looked down, with a gloomy expression.

The audience was silent, and the people looked at each other in blank dismay. For some reason, the pain on their bodies increased.

"Last night, I clearly felt that the skin was aching all over my body - I know everyone is like me."

The people were shocked and waited intently for the next step, feeling more and more uneasy in their hearts.

"However, it wasn't just the imperial capital that was so early three days ago. Messages from all over the world were pouring in. Strange diseases swept across the entire empire. Thousands of people died in the northern and western fringes."

"My magician friend told me that the murderer is none other than the ubiquitous element of magic - no one can escape, the storm will only intensify until everyone bleeds to death, a catastrophe sweeping across the continent, even the strongest No wizarding world of great power can survive safely."

At this time, the ceremony had been going on for most of the morning, the sun was getting more and more dazzling, and the pain was getting more and more intense-this was not the magnification of inner panic, but a real and all-round storm of elements.

Suddenly, a thin young woman passed out with a scream in the audience, blood oozed from her skin, causing quite a disaster.

"It threatens everyone, just like what happened just now—Lord Lane, Lord Gesa, Lord Wintermont, please tell us, what kind of tragedy is happening in your land?"

Several lords came here for this purpose. Hearing this sentence, Lord Ryan stood up and said without even asking the monarch with his eyes: "People stay behind closed doors, and there are endless strange diseases, and deaths happen every day. — we can only rely on miracles.”

The other two: "Indeed."

The hearts of all present were tense to the extreme, and their breaths trembled, just as a thick cloud drifted across the sky and passed by the scorching sun, the disaster turned into a shadow above their heads, as shocking as the footsteps of the God of Death.

"However, we are not helpless."

As soon as these words came out, thousands of eyes became eager.

"I read all the books in the royal family's collection, read all the secret books I could get, and finally knew a secret that has been passed down for thousands of years-it is enough to protect our empire."

"This secret was originally passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, but my beloved father left so suddenly that no one knew about it."

A knight brought an old book to Bran.

"This disaster occurred 1000 years ago, and our founding emperor left behind a solid barrier—that is, the entire imperial capital, the supreme city of Herodscopes."

"Our world used to be full of magic, and the emperor is the core of a huge magic barrier-this barrier is enough to stop the most violent elemental storm, enough to cover a quarter of the continent centered on the imperial capital!"

People exclaimed in gratitude, and a great lord asked loudly: "Your Highness, how do we open this great barrier?"

"This barrier has a sacred name." Bran slowly looked around the audience, and everyone held their breath.

"Its name is—the Kingdom of God."

There were whispered discussions, and people remembered the name that was still echoing in their ears just now.

"The Kingdom of God—he has the same name as the scroll in the hands of our respected Majesty, but it is a different existence," Berland raised his voice: "The scroll 'Kingdom of God' is the key to the real Kingdom of God!"

He slowly repeated the sentence at the conferring ceremony: "The kingdom of God is for the faithful and faithful faith-this is the conferring speech written by our founding emperor Eucarius I for the master of the future empire, this sentence The so-called "loyalty and steadfastness" in the book is not the loyalty of the people to the emperor, but the loyalty of the emperor to the entire empire and all the people of the empire—when the most serious crisis comes, open the kingdom of God and protect the empire!"

His words were resounding, and people's eyes turned to the newly crowned emperor on the high platform.

"The empire is in danger, and I am naturally obliged to do so," Gregory looked down at Bran. "My dear brother, can you tell me how I can open the barrier and what will I have to pay?"

"The blood of Eucarius is the spell to open the scroll. Once the scroll is activated, the 'Kingdom of God' will naturally open, and all this requires payment." Berland raised his head: "Dear Your Majesty, it is yours. life!"

People's hearts froze for a moment, and then they became relaxed and eager - in the face of the catastrophe of the collapse of the entire empire, this is not a sky-high price, at least not a price that the empire cannot afford!

"The Kingdom of God is in the body, it is for the faithful and faithful faith." Bran repeated again.

"The Kingdom of God is here for the loyalty and steadfastness of the faith!" The voice behind them was loud and loud—the people turned their heads, and the astonishingly powerful Black-armored Empire Legion lined up neatly, repeating in unison.

Bran looked directly at Gregory and said loudly, "Please open the Kingdom of God, Your Majesty!"

The sound of the uniform armor sounded, creating the illusion that the ground was trembling. Five thousand heavy armored knights knelt on one knee, and the sound resounded through the air.

"Your Majesty, please open the Kingdom of God!"
