"By the way, Your Majesty the Pope."
"What's the matter? Your Majesty, please tell me."
"Who told you about the royal family's use of forbidden magic?"
"It's one of my priests."
Levi lied.
"Oh...I know." Arthas nodded.
"In this case, you can leave first. I have something else to do, so I won't send you off."
Levi heard this and left here.
…
On the other side, the peripheral troops were still struggling to hold on, but Orson had already led his people to the central square.
A few months ago, there was an assassination incident here. The late Emperor Odysseus was almost assassinated, but Arthas beside him protected him.
But now, the central square, which was once the busiest, was empty except for the soldiers responsible for searching for formations.
Orson stood on the stage where Odysseus once gave a speech. Through here, he could see several remaining landmarks of Saint Laurent City.
Cathedral, Imperial College, Bell Tower, Grand Hotel...
These landmark buildings and many high towers jointly form the many eyes of the great magic circle of Saint Laurent City.
After a few hours, soldiers came back one after another to report the situation.
As Orson guessed, huge amounts of magic power fluctuations were detected underground in those landmark buildings and seemingly useless towers.
Even under the detection of the palace magician, these magic fluctuations pointed to one point.
That is under the square where Orson is now.
"So, facing this kind of magic circle, how to break it?"
Orson muttered to himself, staring at the ground.
Finally, as if he thought of something, Orson quickly called Elsa.
This matter must be discussed clearly with Elsa before it can be implemented.
Elsa was called to the front by Orson. She still didn't understand what happened, but Orson said:
"Your Highness, I have thought of a way to break the magic circle, but it may require you to make some sacrifices."
"sacrifice……"
Hearing this word, Elsa was stunned for a moment, and then asked hesitantly:
"What exactly is it?"
"I need to destroy all those buildings."
Orson said this, pointing to the landmarks in the distance.
"These are landmarks of the city of Saint Laurent and have a very long history, but for the safety of this place, I think they must be demolished."
Hearing Orson's words, Elsa was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought how much sacrifice you wanted me to make, Orson. If just demolishing these buildings can end this mutation, there must be no problem."
"After all, buildings can be rebuilt after they are destroyed, but human life is the most important thing. I don't want to see soldiers making unnecessary sacrifices because of these buildings."
Elsa said this with a very firm tone.
Hearing this, Orson nodded.
"In that case, I understand."
He then ordered the previously marked buildings to be demolished.
Another half day passed, and after all the buildings were demolished, the celestial phenomena of the eternal night still did not end.
Orson stared at the sky and frowned.
He could still feel that the land he was stepping on was filled with huge magical activity, and it was still supplying energy to the magic circle.
What went wrong?
At this moment, Orson felt the light around him change.
The bright moon that originally hung in the sky has now turned into a scarlet blood moon.
No……
Orson stared at the moon. For some reason, he vaguely felt that it was not like the moon, but like someone's eyes.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the moon changed again. At this time, a bloodshot eye appeared in the night sky, staring at the ground.
Moreover, it seems to be still moving.
At this moment, Orson felt that he was being stared at, and the next second, he disappeared from the eyes of everyone around him.
There was a feeling of weightlessness, and Orson seemed to have fallen into endless darkness, feeling nothing around him.
Time, space, weight, all units used for measurement seem to have lost their meaning here.
I don't know how much time passed, but Orson suddenly fell heavily to the ground, and what appeared in front of him was an Iron Throne.
At this moment, Arthas was sitting on the Iron Throne. He was holding his sword in both hands and looking at Orson in front of him.
"I suddenly changed my mind, Orson."
Arthas said this and stood up.
"All this is because of you?"
Orson stood still, looked at Arthas in front of him, and asked.
"Yeah." Alsace nodded.
"You guessed it right. From the moment it got dark to now, it's all because of me."
"Including the space you are being pulled into now, it is also the secret technique of the royal family."
"So, the so-called forbidden magic is just a cover. The royal family suppresses forbidden magic just to give themselves a backup plan, right?"
"You can understand it this way, but I really didn't know this before I became the emperor. If you hadn't forced me to do this, I wouldn't have taken the risk to use this kind of magic."
"Can I understand that you are complimenting me?"
"Of course." Arthas nodded, "Of course I am praising you. Only an opponent like you can be worthy of my final gorgeous victory."
"Using this kind of magic can't be called gorgeous, right?"
When Arthas heard Orson say this, he smiled and shook his head.
"No, no, no, Orson, you don't understand. History is written by the victors. After I became the emperor, I have seen much more darkness than before."
"As long as you lose, the history of future generations will only remember you as a group of traitors and rebels."
When Orson heard this, he straightened up.
"So, why did you drag me here?"
"You are very smart, you can guess that this is a magic circle, and you can also guess the secret of Saint Laurent City, so I am going to kill you here."
Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. As long as you get rid of Orson and rely on the troops outside, you can still win the final victory.
After the situation is reversed, those who sit on the fence will naturally turn to themselves.
As for Elsa? Without Orson, what is she?
"You can't kill me. You and I are both at the eighth level, and I have mastered one more magic than you. It's the stupidest thing for you to be one-on-one with me."
"Maybe it was before." Arthas nodded. "But here, my strength is at the ninth level. Do you want to try it? What is the difference between the eighth level and the ninth level?"
With that said, Alsace lifted the hilt of his sword and disappeared directly in front of Orson's eyes.
Orson closed his eyes too.
He knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to get the upper hand when fighting on the opponent's home court, and he could only wait quietly for him to reveal his flaws.
So, he waited quietly.
After a while, there was a gust of wind behind him. Orson instantly used a magic barrier to defend himself and leaned forward.
But the next second, the magic barrier shattered instantly, and Orson was knocked away several meters away.
"Oson, accept your fate. This is the gap between you and me."
"This is also the difference between the royal family and other bloodlines."
Chapter 66: Ending
A few more minutes passed, and Alsace had no intention of giving in to Orson, and a ninth-level master never had the luxury to face an eighth-level master.
Every move he made was done with all his strength, and every move he made wanted to kill him with one blow, leaving no room for Orson at all.
Orson was tired of being on guard. Even though he had more magic skills than Alsace, he still couldn't achieve cross-level combat. Desperate defense was his last resort.
Arthas saw Orson stubbornly resisting his moves without collapsing. In addition to admiration, he also wanted to kill him.
Orson is less than twenty years old this year. If he waits until he is thirty or forty years old, no one in the empire will be able to threaten Orson.
Even for the future of the empire, I have to get rid of Orson here.
Thinking of this, Alsace's eyes became even fiercer.
"Orson, I'm going to get serious from now on."
As he said this, the long sword in his hand glowed with silver, and its power became much stronger than before.
Orson did not speak. He was fully focused on guarding Alsace, waiting for the change of fighter planes.
Then, Alsace swung his sword in the direction of Orson, trying to cut him in half.
Orson also realized that this sword energy was unusual, and concentrated all his magic power to release a barrier in front of him. At the same time, he also drew his sword to resist the aftermath of the sword energy.
Sure enough, the moment the sword energy hit the magic barrier, it destroyed the magic barrier and continued to attack Orson with the remaining potential energy.
Orson once again swung his sword with all his strength and barely blocked it, but he was inevitably affected.
"Raven, you should know that he is working for me, right?" Arthas said, as if giving Orson a moment to breathe, but he never stopped swinging the sword in his hand, and Orson could only keep parrying. With.
"I sent him to assassinate Li Te, but he hasn't come back yet. He must have been found by your people, right?"
"I should have guessed a long time ago that you are cooperating with Youlan Tavern. Their boss should be one of yours, right?"
"And the assassin who assassinated my father before, was he sent by you, right? I don't know what means you used, or even how you could create an alibi, but you and I both know it."
"You have been planning everything since very early on, just because you are afraid of me!"
As he said this, Alsace's tone suddenly became heavier, and his sword swing became stronger and stronger.
Every time Orson received a sword, his body would sink a little.
"You are afraid of my strength, my power, and my allies! So you continue to divide and disintegrate my power, and I know it! Because in the entire empire, you are the only one who would do this!"
Then, Alsace swung his sword in various ways, and the sound of gold and iron clashing was heard, and a buzz echoed in the enclosed space.
Orson's sword was knocked away, and he was knocked back a few steps and fell to the ground.
"So? You want to say that my methods are insidious, right?"
At this time, Orson finally had time to say a word.
"Otherwise? I still want to praise you for doing well?"
Alsace's tone was sullen, and then he came directly to Orson.
"Wolves in the wild will not directly attack a tiger that is bigger than themselves, because the wolves know that they cannot defeat the tiger. But if they are hungry and anxious, the wolves will find every opportunity to attack the tiger."
"All kinds of dirty tricks will be used at this time, and you, Orson, are no different from those cunning wolves!"
After hearing this, Orson sat on the ground, looked at Alsace who was standing in front of him, looking down at him, and sneered.
Then he reached out his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"So, it's fair for you to use forbidden magic?"
"The price of launching magic is the lives of so many citizens of Saint Laurent City, so many innocent lives. You think that if you do this, you will be a qualified king, right?"
