Chapter 410 The Real Conspiracy
Live...
Malbert's wishes now are simple.
But this simple wish seems so sad now...
Leon looked at him and sighed: "Being controlled by Kavala, sharing a body with Ales, and only being able to come out when Ales is asleep, is this considered alive?"
Malbert sighed himself.
"You should know what Kavala is going to do, right? Have you been to the temple?"
Leon stared into Malbert's eyes and changed the subject.
"Of course I know. He wants to find his ring. He wants to return to the continent of Amarra and lead the Snake Cult to conquer Pendor and become the only god... Of course, he also wants to kill you. I have never been to the temple, but when I was controlled by him, I could directly understand everything he knew, just like he could also 'hear' what my spirit was thinking. So I know everything about him, and I also know about the temple."
Malbert looked back into Leon's eyes calmly - he was indeed not under control now.
It seems that although it is an unequal indenture and she is a puppet that may be controlled at any time, at least she is not controlled all the time.
This could be considered a unilateral contract opening up the right to control the soul, allowing Kavala to control himself at any time when he needs it, in exchange for the soul not being dispersed, and being able to share information while being controlled.
Li Ang suddenly thought of Eunomia - he could hear her voice out of thin air, but he couldn't know her thoughts, which meant that Eunomia had never controlled himself.
The Goddess of Order is indeed very different from Kavala.
But Kavala's control is a foolish thing - to completely control the Chosen One is equivalent to taking action himself, and the Chosen One's original abilities cannot be used at all. It is better to control a corpse, because at least a corpse is not afraid of pain.
No wonder Kavala prefers to control the undead. His mentality is not that of a god at all...
"In fact, he could have let you go to the Amara Continent alone to lead the Snake Cult. With your abilities, the Snake Cult might be able to grow rapidly, which might be better than him going there himself."
Leon looked at Malbert with some regret - if Kavala hadn't intervened to control Malbert, it would have been Leon who was in a mess right now.
"He didn't dare... Hahaha, Leon, he didn't dare to let me have too much freedom and power. He was afraid that I would turn against him like Maltis did! Because he deceived me into signing the soul contract - he said he could resurrect me and make me immortal. But the way he resurrected me and made me immortal was just to trap me in the body of Ales..."
Malbert laughed bitterly: "He is not only a liar, but also a coward. If he had not been favored by the goddess, he would not be worthy of becoming the King of Pendor with his own abilities... Apart from having elven blood, that guy is useless in my opinion!"
"It can't be helped. There will always be people who are born lucky and have a high enough level of reincarnation... Besides, don't nobles and kings live by reincarnation and deception?"
Li Ang also smiled helplessly: "But aren't you worried that Kavala will hear you saying this?"
"He is not omniscient and omnipotent to this extent... He controls many spirits. If he listened to everyone who spoke, he would have gone crazy long ago!"
Malbert shook his head. "As for my thoughts - he can see my thoughts. He knows that I insult him anytime and anywhere, but he is probably used to it. There are many people who have signed soul contracts with him. Everyone will insult him, and their insults will be worse than mine..."
That's true. No matter how powerful the control is, it can only control one person at a time. After all, Kavala only has one brain...
"I have always been controlled by others, with no way out, and I don't get any benefits. I might as well die..."
Leon looked at Malbert and said sincerely: "Honestly, I think you should find a way to leave Ales' body. Even if your spirit dissipates, you may still have a chance to be reborn as a human being."
"I want to...but I can't! Leon, I can't leave Ales' body now, and I don't have the ability to take over Ales' soul...I also want to be reborn as a human. I have never been afraid of failure or death, because I know that death is not the end. But now I am a spirit that has signed a contract with the gods. You should know that such a spirit will not die!"
Malbert does look miserable, and this really isn't acting.
No one wants to be controlled, certainly not Malbert.
But he was indeed hard to get rid of.
"Maybe there is a way to solve it... Malbert, since you don't want to be controlled forever, I think we can work together to try to solve your problem - of course, this is also a problem for Alina and me."
Leon thought about it and felt that Malbert seemed to have a chance.
"How can we cooperate? As long as Kavala controls me again, he can directly 'hear' everything I know... Don't forget, he can hear the thoughts of spirits."
Malbert does not seem to be refusing to cooperate, but is rather skeptical about the possibility of cooperation.
In fact, Malbert and Leon were both willing to trade with each other - just like they had traded the ownership of White Hart Castle for the casinos and entertainment venues in the northwest of the Sarleon Kingdom. There was really no need to fight when there could be mutual benefit and win-win results.
"As long as you are willing to cooperate, I am more than 50% sure that I can cancel your soul contract."
After thinking carefully, Li Ang gave a very serious answer.
"If you can really do it, then of course I would rather cooperate with you. But how do you plan to do it? Use Azi Dahaka to let me release the control? But then Ales will die - you should know this."
Malbert shook his head.
Indeed, his situation was different from Leon's - Malbert and Ales coexisted, and Ales was a living person. If Leon intended to use Azi Dahaka to solve the problem, then Malbert could cancel the soul contract, but Ales would die...
"Do you know Aziz Dahaka?"
Now it was Leon's turn to be surprised. Malbert actually knew everything...
"Of course I know. That's how Maltis got rid of his control. Otherwise, why do you think Kavala wanted me to deal with you? He originally planned to let me go to the Noldor Forest, so I know so many things... Moreover, Ales' wife, the female slave, was the one who helped Kavala create Azi Dahaka - I may have known about Azi Dahaka before you."
Malbert sighed, "The ice cellar in Ales's house was originally used to store Azi Dahaka! But when I arrived in Ahun, Azi Dahaka had already been sent away. That woman was a priestess of the Snake Cult. She wanted to kill me not because of hatred, but because she was controlled by Kavala at that time. I wanted to use this to force you and Wendy to investigate Azi Dahaka, but Kavala probably saw that I was telling the truth and thought I was going to betray him, so he temporarily controlled me to change my words... He didn't understand at all that only the truth can deceive people."
It seems that the mysterious masked person that Anson met in Breitwyn was Alers's wife. No wonder her fighting ability was so weak.
Malbert originally wanted to use Az Dahaka to make Leon and Wendy leave Alina in an attitude of "cooperation against Kavala" - only Leon's blood can control Az Dahaka, and if Leon leaves, Wendy will inevitably leave as well, and then Alina will most likely fall into the hands of Malbert and the Vipers.
Kavala anxiously tried to deceive Leon with the code, but this improvised excuse was completely inconsistent with Malbert's previous preparation, so Leon saw through it.
"In fact, we don't necessarily have to use Aziz Dahaka... Malbert, you should have been controlled by him more than a year ago, right? In other words, he has been arranging all this all along. Can you tell me what he has asked you to do? Maybe I have another way to free you."
Li Ang began to learn more information.
"He asked me to do a lot of things more than a year ago... He asked me to take the Heretic Code to a crowded city and summon Aigrim. At that time, in order to relieve my father's pressure, I took the Code to Lion Lake City."
Malbert answered calmly: "Besides, I planned to use Aigrem to kill you - I was the one who killed Granlong, and I deliberately asked you to go to Lion Lake City to face Aigrem... But I didn't expect that you could even deal with Aigrem..."
At that time, Brennus was suppressed in Cliff Bay, and the appearance of Aigrim and a large number of Fallen in Lion Lake City forced Leon to divert his attention.
In fact, Malbert was successful, and Leon almost died outside Lion Lake City.
This could probably be considered as Malbert's revenge for being framed. No wonder he didn't have any particular hatred towards Leon - when Leon stabbed him to death, he was no longer his own person in his body, so of course he didn't feel anything.
"Could it be that Aigrim is also controlled by Kavala? That's not possible, is it?!"
Leon now completely understood why Kavala had to control Malbert - Malbert knew soul magic, his Twilight Knights had been studying heresy, and he could summon the abyss demon.
But Kavala can't control the abyss demon, right?
"That's not the case... He doesn't have the ability to do that. He just wanted to use Aigram to help him remove the seal. He was sealed in the temple at that time. Although he had the ability of a god, he didn't have the qualifications to be a god. If he wasn't a complete god, he couldn't use his spirit body to pass through the gate of the abyss. Only a powerful evil spirit like Aigram had enough magic power to remove his seal."
Malbert explained: "He deceived Aigram - he taught Aigram a 'summoning ritual'. Aigram thought he could use the magic circle to summon his lover out of the abyss, but in fact it was not a summoning, but a sacrifice - the body and the code would be sent to the temple, so that Kavala could be freed from the seal of the temple."
I see……
This sacrifice was ruined by Roland.
Li Ang always thought that Kavala was already a god, but in fact there might still be a big gap.
The gap is not in magic power, but in divinity .
The code is probably not the godhead itself, but it at least represents that qualification.
"Didn't he make a ring himself? You should know the High King's ring, right? It was made using the code of the Goddess of Order..."
Leon was a little confused. He always thought that the ring was the Code of Kavala. After all, the ring seemed to play the same role as the Gate of the Abyss.
"That ring is still the code of the goddess of order. Kavala doesn't have the ability of the creator god. If he could create the code himself, then the temple would not be able to trap him long ago - as long as he holds the code, he can go back and forth to the temple without restrictions."
Malbert shook his head at this point. "He just wanted someone to take the ring to the temple so he could get out of there."
"You know so much, which means that Kavala originally intended to let you do this job...but why didn't you go to Eraklai to salvage the ring?"
Leon has realized that since Malbert knew all this, it must be because Kavala controlled him to do these things - but he did not follow the Snake Cult army north.
"Because in his eyes, dealing with you is more important than getting the ring..."
Malbert shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He doesn't trust anyone, but at least he is not stupid when it comes to prioritizing."
Li Ang pouted his lips expressionlessly. This was indeed Kavala's mentality - Kavala had plenty of time.
The ring can be retrieved at any time, but now Leon is injured and unable to move, there are not many people around him, he is still in Bucks, and he has a "conflict" with the person in charge of Bucks. Such good opportunities are rare.
"Killing me is more important than obtaining the ring..."
Li Ang began to think.
Since Kavala thinks killing me is more important than getting the ring, it means that he will try again.
But Kavala left Malbert here without any control, and Kavala didn't trust Malbert in the first place, that is to say, he didn't care what Malbert would reveal to Leon - which meant that Kavala would take action again soon...
However, those venomous spies alone would not be able to deal with Leon. Who else could Kavala control?
He can only control those who have signed a soul contract with him, but apart from Malbert and some Viper spies, what else is there in Dilingang?
"Malbert, can you use your soul magic that can amplify your inner desires on yourself?"
Leon suddenly asked Malbert.
Malbert was stunned, but didn't have time to answer.
Because at this time, there were shouting and scolding coming from outside the door.
Then, the sound of swords clashing was heard.
"What's going on?!"
Alina stood up in surprise.
"Your Majesty, please leave here immediately!"
Klose rushed to open the door anxiously: "The enemy is attacking the Governor's Mansion!"
"Are there a lot of them?"
Li Ang stood up while enduring the pain from his wound: "Klose, stay calm! Hold on here, I can't run far like this..."
“Woo…woo…woo…”
Before he finished speaking, a horn was sounded from the city wall.
This is a continuous long sound, which is the assembly call after the enemy attack is discovered.
"Leon, look out the window..."
Wendy pointed to the sea outside the window.
From the study window, one could only see a corner of the sea in the distance. From this corner, some triangular sails slowly emerged, and then the hull gradually appeared above the sea line.
That is why the horn sounds the alarm.
"Don't panic, those ships are still on the sea line. It will take at least two hours to sail before they can land... Where did that fleet come from?!"
The fleet did not look like the type of ships from the continent of Pendor. Leon had never seen this kind of ship.
"Maritin... That's Marittin's fleet!"
Alina recognized him. Her face looked calm but pale. “How could they… Alina, go and pass the message and mobilize the people of Dilingang…”
"It's too late, little girl. The Viper Troops' combat effectiveness is very poor, but they can still block you guys here for two hours. Leon, I think we should be able to talk now..."
Kavala's voice came out of Alles' mouth again - he had controlled Malbert again: "This time, have you guessed my plan?"
