Chapter 371: One wave has not yet subsided, another wave has arisen
White Hart Castle.
Cersei and Medea were still imprisoned in the main building of White Hart Castle. Leon took Wendy and brought the Gate of the Abyss to them.
“Anna…”
Circe only took one look and then cried out - it was obvious that she could see that Anna was in the Gate of the Abyss, but she didn't know how she could see it.
"Anna and Kavala are both in there..."
Leon briefly recounted everything related to Kavala, including the origin of Kavala's ring and the griffin.
"So the griffin is the gloomy eye... no wonder..."
Midya murmured.
"This is the situation. If you want to save Anna now, you have to kill Kavala..."
Leon looked at the two prophets. He knew that perhaps only the three prophets could deal with Kavala, who was a spirit.
"But if that's the case, then we can't kill Kavala... Kavala already has all the qualifications to be a god. The Gate of the Abyss can't trap him either. It's a space prepared for gods. As long as he hasn't lost his qualifications to be a god, he can come and go freely in it..."
Circe frowned and shook her head.
"The qualifications of a god... Do you mean codes like the Gate of the Abyss?"
Li Ang took out the Supreme King's ring: "Maybe this is his code..."
Sersi nodded: "This should be it. Only by destroying it can we keep Kavala in the abyss forever...but..."
“Hahaha… You three can indeed drag me into the abyss and close the door to the abyss forever… but do you really dare to do it?”
Kavala's voice suddenly came, and he was laughing, and he seemed very sure that no one could do anything to him.
Leon gave the two prophets a questioning look.
“Leon… The prophet’s halo can indeed drag Kavala into the abyss. But if that happens, we will lose our status as God’s messengers and will never be able to leave the abyss. We will definitely be devoured by other evil spirits… We are not the Paladin Roland, and we don’t intend to be selfless heroes…”
Sersi gave the answer very straightforwardly: "As long as we are still the messengers of God, no one can kill us. You may be able to trap us for a while, but as long as this body dies, we can still be free - these are just two seriously injured human bodies, they can't trap us for long."
Li Ang sighed.
This cannot be blamed on the three prophets being selfish. The evil spirits of the abyss all hate the three gatekeepers. If they lose their status as messengers of God and fall into the abyss, they will basically be dead. There are also Titans in the abyss...
"Not only that... Leon, this ring contains the gloomy eye. If you destroy this ring, the griffin will be released. Who can deal with it then?"
Midya also said to Leon: "Even the two goddesses can't destroy the griffin. It is countless times more powerful than the Aigram in Lion Lake City before... If it is released, the world will be over."
Damn, it's either Kavala or the strongest Gloomy Eye back then...
Even the two strongest goddesses at the time couldn't deal with the Gloomy Eye. If it were really released, the consequences might be more serious than Kavala.
It seems that this is the reason why Kavala has always maintained his spiritual state - as long as he does not violate the rules of the Creator God, no one can do anything to him...
Li Ang felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
"I know something that can trap Kavala... Dragon's Tears!"
Wendy said suddenly.
"Dragon Tears?"
Li Ang looked at Wendy in confusion: "Why?"
"Before, in order to find you, I took the dragon's tears from Alaric... Then, I met an elf who looked exactly like me. She said you were still alive and that dragon's tears could bring souls with the blood of Avadain to the forbidden land of God..."
Wendy took out a sapphire crystal from her bosom and said, "Leon, Kavala and you both have the blood of Avadain. Even though he is a god, he is still a soul..."
"Ha... That's right! Kualis possesses the strongest magic power, and dragon tears are what the God of Creation left behind when he possessed him. They carry the power of the God of Creation..."
Li Ang suddenly realized: "It's just right for Kavala to go back to where he came out...but how to do it?"
"That's not difficult. We have used dragon tears to seal another soul before... Sealing a soul in dragon tears is the same as banishing it to the gate of the abyss..."
Sersi looked at the dragon's tears and said to Leon, "Ulric's father, the Mad King, asked us to seal his soul before he died. He wanted to live forever. He was the reason why Ulric fell ill a few years ago..."
"Circe, Medea, come help me! Quick!"
At this moment, Anna's voice was heard from the gate of the abyss.
It sounds very tense, as if there is danger.
Circe and Medea looked at each other again, then nodded together.
"Little Nodo girl, please stand further away and give the Dragon Tears to Li Ang..."
Circe said to Wendy.
The Three Seers could have simply left any body when there was a Gate to the Abyss nearby, but it was probably because Wendy was too close to her that she couldn't cast the spell.
"Don't bother, you are free now... Anna may not be able to hold on any longer, so you decide for yourselves what to do..."
Li Ang drew out his sword and killed the remains of the two prophets one by one.
Two streams of black mist flew out from the corpse and flew into the mark of the Gate of the Abyss.
…
A few hours later.
Li Ang still held the Gate of the Abyss in one hand and the Dragon's Tear in the other.
He didn't know what happened inside, but he saw a golden light fly out of the gate of the abyss and fly into the dragon's tears, turning the royal blue dragon's tears into a green color with golden light.
Afterwards, the dragon's tears suddenly turned into fragments, and the golden light disappeared in an instant.
It seems that the three prophets succeeded?
Li Ang finally felt relieved and handed the Dragon Tear fragment to Wendy.
"Leon, destroy the Gate of the Abyss. Anna has decided to go to the temple with me. The three sisters will never return to Pendor..."
Ulric's voice came from the gate of the abyss.
"Your Majesty, what happened in there?"
Leon felt that Ulrich's voice sounded very tired.
"Young man, don't ask so many questions... You just need to know that I convinced Anna... Kavala has been thrown into the temple by her, and is probably fighting with Kualis."
Ulrich's voice seemed to have a hint of pride.
"What about...Circe and Medea?"
Leon could vaguely sense Ulrich's method of persuasion...it was probably impossible to describe in detail.
"Hey, didn't you know this all along? The three of them are actually one... Circe and Medea are Anna's other two personalities. They are the embodiment of the will of the Dark Goddess, the disguise of protection, the lies of survival, the warriors walking in the darkness... She was once lost in lies and darkness, but I became her light."
Ulrich said proudly.
"If I can find the way to the temple in the future, I will come to see you, Your Majesty. Take care."
Li Ang said sincerely.
“Hahaha… The Abyss Gate is the only way to the temple, but you should destroy it. Apologize to Filina for me and tell her that I was wrong…”
Ulrich said his last words, and there was no more movement from the Gate of the Abyss.
Since Kavala was sent to the temple, the Gate of the Abyss must of course be destroyed.
It is not difficult to destroy the Abyss Gate - just put it in the furnace and melt it into a piece of ebony. There are many blacksmith shops in White Hart Castle.
But Leon was not sure whether Kavala - the High King's Ring was once the code of the Goddess of Order, and was the same thing as the Abyss Gate.
Kavala said that when you come out of the temple, you will appear at the place where the gate to the abyss is - this is indeed true, and Kavala basically never lied.
That means that after the gate to the abyss was destroyed, if Kavala ran out of the temple, he would most likely appear where the ring was.
But this ring cannot be destroyed, otherwise if the griffin runs out, it will be a disaster.
So, Leon took the ring and went deep into the forest.
He temporarily sealed it in Lake Eracle - a large lake next to Eracle, the castle of the Noldor elves, where almost no humans ever reached.
Li Ang threw the ring into the center of the lake himself.
It was basically guaranteed that no one, including the Noldor elves, would ever be able to touch the ring again.
At least, this ensures that even if something escapes, it cannot occupy anyone's soul, and cannot create something like a Fallen.
After throwing the High King's Ring into the lake, Leon felt relieved - there should be no gods or demons in the entire continent, and he felt that he could finally take a break and do real estate.
…
A few days later…
Bailubao, which was originally the most dangerous border county, has become the most stable rear area in the past two years.
Most people went to Changhe Town to participate in real estate construction, and nowadays only the Noldor elves can be seen in Bailu Castle.
The Noldor do not like crowds, their lives are quiet and leisurely.
Alina didn't like crowds either. She preferred lying alone in the woods behind White Deer Castle with a book in her hands.
Since moving to White Hart Castle, or rather, living in Wendy's house, Alina probably got the life she wanted most...
Wendy has a lot of books at home.
This underage Noldor girl likes to collect books - mostly chivalric novels, but also some other miscellaneous books, including some that are not suitable for children...
After all, most knight novels of this era would add some detailed descriptions that are more technically demanding.
Alina even found a certain handwritten memoir that Klose had always wanted... and also found the combat career of a certain Bacchus Centurion.
The culture of the Bacchus Empire is relatively open, and Alina doesn't mind reading these classics with a learning attitude - she is indeed a studious person.
It was a pity that she had paid 8,000 dinars for Leon's tuition, but Leon had never taught her a lesson...
It’s not that Li Ang just took the money and didn’t do the job, it’s mainly because he really didn’t have time. Li Ang hasn’t had a single day of peace in the past two years.
And I guess there won’t be any chance to attend classes in the future—Leon has already conquered the Lion City.
After conquering Sarleon City, Leon should declare himself king...
A king must have very little free time, just like His Majesty Marius, who was very busy every day.
I don't know how His Majesty Marius is doing . According to Knight Commander Loris, he still seems to be unable to leave alcohol. Even the Glorious Knights' repeated warnings cannot stop His Majesty's only hobby.
It seemed that his father no longer urged him to get married. Every time he wrote to him, he asked him to try not to return to Bacchus. It seemed that there were too many nobles in Bacchus who hated his family.
Brutus had passed on intelligence several times, and both Emperor Marius and his father had been assassinated several times, but all of them were unsuccessful.
It's really interesting that these nobles never help the country when Bacchus is in trouble.
But when the Bacchus Empire was growing stronger, they started to jump around again. No one knew where they had been hiding before...
It's a pity that the Shadow Wolf Pack is no longer under my command, otherwise I would definitely go and kill them all again... Can't I create some evidence if I don't have any?
If it was Leon, or even Amy, those nobles would have been charged with various crimes of treason...
His Majesty Marius is too soft-hearted.
Alina thought.
"Ms. Alina, Lord Leon and Princess Wendy have returned from Eracle, and they are looking for you."
A Noldor Ranger appears in the forest.
This is the bodyguard that Wendy assigned to Alina - but most of the time this bodyguard just reminds Alina to eat, and Alina has always been good at avoiding danger.
Wendy has been called Her Highness by the Noldor elves since last year - since Amy handed over the White Hart Castle to Wendy, the Elf King Felgus Anr has designated Wendy as his heir.
"Looking for me?"
Alina was a little surprised. She knew that the people Li Ang had been dealing with during this period were not human beings...
What's the point of looking for yourself when facing something like a demon?
Alina came to the lord's hall of White Deer Castle full of doubts.
There are three people in the hall.
In addition to Leon and Wendy, there is also the former Snake Cult priest Alyssa.
"Alina, has there been any news from the Bacchus Empire recently? For example, letters from your father or Emperor Marius..."
Leon was talking to Alyssa, and when he saw Alina coming back, he turned his head.
"The latest news is that two months ago, my father encountered an assassination attempt...but nothing happened to him. What happened?"
Alina suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Hiss... I saw Governor Justus at Shieldwind Fortress. His troops...hiss... broke through Shieldwind Fortress!"
Alyssa said to Alina with a serious face.
"What?! This is impossible! I'm still in White Hart Castle, he won't do that... Even if he has to, he will definitely let me know first!"
Alina was horrified.
"That's why I asked you if you had received any news... On our way back, we met Alyssa and several fleeing civilians. The Bacchus Empire is marching towards White Hart Castle! They will probably be outside White Hart Castle tomorrow night!"
Li Ang smiled bitterly at Alina. "From the timing, it's just when I'm sending troops from Changhe Town to Sarleon City. Most of my elite troops are in Sarleon City now. There are not many troops in White Hart Castle and Changhe Town, and they are not prepared for the Bacchus Empire. This timing is very accurate..."
"How could it be? This is too sudden... His Majesty Marius is still in charge of the strategy against D'Shar. He can't possibly march to White Hart Keep at this time... And my father can't possibly abandon me!"
Alina shook her head: "This is not their decision... This is a conspiracy!"
