Chapter 821 Target Locked
Qi Ge stood at the door of Escher with a serious look.
If Escher is really the mastermind behind this and is a demigod, it would undoubtedly be very dangerous to confront him directly, even if he is the Chosen One of Yasha.
But this step must be taken.
Instead of waiting until the moment when it is irreversible and then engaging in passive contact, it is better to take the initiative now while you still have the strength to do so.
After a while, a servant wizard opened the door and walked out.
"Your Highness Xingfeng, Grand Speaker, please come in."
The mage bowed his head respectfully and stepped back half a body.
Qi Ge took a deep breath and walked in.
In the bedroom, Eschel was sitting on the sofa, holding a pile of documents in his hands, reading quietly.
Seeing Qi Ge coming in, he smiled gently and said:
"Xingfeng, what's wrong? Are you in any trouble?"
The Seven Pigeons stared at Escher's face.
His appearance was as neat as usual, his tall pointed wizard hat was spotless, and every strand of his white beard was neatly groomed. Although the wrinkles on his face made it difficult to hide his old age, his old age was so dazzling that people could not take their eyes away.
Even Qi Ge had to admit that Escher was a handsome old man, even more handsome than his teacher Aged.
If this happened in the real world, when Eschel went to dance in the square, old men from all over the neighborhood would worry that their old ladies might be abducted.
In the world of Yasa, being handsome is not like in the real world, where it has no other function except being pleasing to the eye.
Good looks mean high charm, and the higher the charm, the more powerful the magic and stunts related to charm will be.
As for spells related to charm, ninety-nine percent of them are mental magic.
Escher's appearance reminded Qi Ge of something again.
The person in front of him was the pinnacle of mental magic among all the mages in the Yasa world.
Among all the true legends in the world of Yasa, no one except him is good at mental magic.
No one has special abilities for being blind or insane.
He is the only one who can deceive people.
He is the first and only one who has succeeded in the path of mental magic.
"Grand Chancellor, are you aware of the attack on Serena and I on the armed airship?"
Qi Ge was alert and asked cautiously.
"Of course I know. Xingfeng, I have read your report in detail."
Escher smiled and said:
"Fortunately you came back safe and sound, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to Agaide."
"Grand Speaker, please forgive me for concealing something in my report. There is another hidden story behind our attack."
As Qi Ge spoke, he paid attention to the expression on Escher's face.
"Not only were we attacked by rebels, but we also captured six traitor mages."
"Oh?" Escher raised his eyebrows, looking very interested.
Qi Ge continued:
“Under our torture, the six mages confessed all their crimes.
This included leaking the whereabouts of our reserve forces to the rebels, deliberately firing magic crystal cannons when the rebels attacked and letting the Obsidian Colossus absorb them, etc.
We also learned that the rebels' goal was to capture Serena and me and use them to threaten Teacher Agaide and Demigod Somra."
"This is really outrageous!" After hearing what Qi Ge said, Escher's face turned serious and he knocked the floor three times with his cane.
“Boom boom boom!”
"These traitors are so arrogant."
"yes."
Qi Ge nodded deeply to show his approval.
Suddenly, Qi Ge's face changed and he slammed the table angrily.
“What makes me most angry is that these traitors actually told me that it was you, the Grand Chancellor, who instructed them to do all this!
This is a slander! I was so angry that I killed them all. "
"Huh? What did you say? They said I ordered them to do it?"
Escher looked puzzled:
"Are you sure they said that?"
"I'm sure. I heard it with my own ears. I heard it clearly."
Qi Ge patted his chest and said:
"But don't worry, Your Majesty. You are half my teacher. If I don't trust you, how can I trust these traitors?
I will never believe their lies.
These traitors, even when they are about to die, are still biting people and trying to drag you down with them. They are truly guilty of heinous crimes."
Eschel's Adam's apple moved slightly, as if he wanted to curse, but he forced himself to hold it back.
"That's good, that's good. I feel relieved that you can distinguish right from wrong."
He stood up, walked behind Qi Ge, and patted Qi Ge's shoulder gently.
Qi Ge felt that Eschel's palm fell on his shoulder. It didn't look heavy, but a force penetrated into his body, making his chest feel uncomfortable.
But soon, this annoying feeling disappeared without a trace.
Qi Ge's Adam's apple moved, and he immediately opened his attribute panel and looked carefully in [Status].
He is the chosen one of Yasha, which is his biggest confidence to come to Escher alone.
No matter how powerful Escher is, he cannot bypass the protection of Mother Goddess Asha and attack him silently.
All mental magic that is disadvantageous to you will be displayed in the status bar.
But what he didn't expect was that he didn't see anything unusual on his status bar, as if Eschel really just took a casual photo.
But this couldn't explain the strangeness he just felt.
Just when Qi Ge was confused, Escher suddenly hugged Qi Ge from behind, leaned his head against Qi Ge's ear, and whispered:
"Xingfeng, I think I know what you want to say to me.
Are you trying to ask me if I have any connection with the rebels?"
Qi Ge was shocked and immediately denied it:
"No, of course not. Teacher, no one could harm me except you. What kind of relationship do you have with Teacher Aged?
This must be…”
"Yes, that's right. I have connections with the rebels. Those who want to kill you are my people."
Hiss~
Qi Ge was halfway through his words when he gasped.
He had imagined many scenes of confrontation between himself and Escher, but he never expected that Escher would admit it so openly!
His pupils trembled, and he asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
"Oh. That's what it means literally."
Escher stood up straight, tapped his cane again, and said:
“The rebels in Lighthouse City are my people, and the traitors on your airship are also my people.
Not only that, the famine in nine out of ten cities was caused by me, the disappearance of the Silver Wind Chamber of Commerce was caused by me, the frame-up of Erni was my handiwork, the fall of Pingdi City was my masterpiece, and there are many, many more.
Everything you can think of and can’t think of is my work.”
"What?!"
Qi Ge's pupils shrank again and again, and his heart beat in his throat.
What the hell! What the hell! What the hell! What the hell is this rebel leader?
Are you the legendary great virtuous teacher?
Could it be that what I discovered is just the tip of the iceberg of Escher's many acts of rebellion?
"Shocked?" Eschel raised her eyebrows and smiled elegantly.
He took off his wizard robe and threw it aside. He no longer pretended to be in poor health. He walked to the window and pulled open the curtains!
With a whoosh, the sunlight outside the window rushed in, illuminating the dim room!
"Xingfeng, are you curious about why I do this?"
The Seventh Pigeon's throat moved:
"I'm curious, but can I listen?"
"Of course. Whether it's your wisdom and talent, or your status as an apprentice of Argaid, you are qualified."
Escher stood in front of the window, turned around and smiled elegantly at Qi Ge.
"Xingfeng, let me ask you a question. What is the meaning of our living in this world?"
Qi Ge: ???
What kind of question is this? Aren’t we talking about you being a traitor?
He couldn't figure out Escher's train of thought for a moment, so he could only ask tentatively:
"Isn't the purpose of us living in the Yasa world to fight against chaos?"
"Fighting Chaos?" Escher laughed and shook his head.
“Yes and no.
Fighting against chaos is the meaning given to us by the Mother Goddess and the meaning given to us by this world, but it is not our own meaning.
I have observed countless lives, and I found that the meaning of their lives is meaningless.
They are a collection of desires. If they are not satisfied, they will be in pain. If they are satisfied, they will be bored. Their life is like a pendulum, constantly circling between pain and boredom. The end is death, and ultimately it is all empty.
This is true of your teacher Aged, of Somra, and even of El Zeus.
They are always tirelessly pursuing things that are beneficial to them to satisfy their strong and irresistible desires.
And desire is the root of mind magic.
I, Eschel, transcend all beings who are lost in desire.
Because I have mastered the true meaning of mind magic and transcended desire.
Even if I have nothing, I will not be dissatisfied; even if I stand proudly in the world, I will not feel bored.
The meaning given to me by the Mother Goddess, the meaning given to me by the world, and even the meaning given to me by desire, cannot influence my life. My life belongs only to me.
So, I began to think about what is the meaning of my life?
I searched in the ice and snow, but the ice and snow bowed their heads to me and could not tell me the answer.
I walked in the flames, but the flames did not enter me, and I was silent.
I asked the thunder, but it could only flicker and dared not roar.
I sought the earth, and it trembled and retreated from me.
Escher looked up, the sunlight shining from behind him made him shine brightly.
“After a long period of thinking, I finally came to the conclusion that Yasha is too small to accommodate me.
Only by becoming a god, escaping from this world and becoming another kind of life can I find the meaning of existence.
From then on, becoming a god became the meaning of my life."
Escher held up his staff and said to the seven pigeons:
“Xingfeng, aren’t you curious about why I rebelled against Bracada?
Here's why.
I need to use the resources of Bracada to build a tower of deification for myself."
Here it comes! Here it comes!
Qi Ge's heart trembled.
He had guessed countless times that Escher's goal was to become a god, but when Escher admitted it himself, he still felt a shock.
In the world of Yasa, every living being has a dream of becoming a god, but 99.99% of the living beings know that it is just a dream.
They dare not even dream about it, let alone put it into practice.
Qi Ge took a deep breath and asked:
"Fengshen...Teacher, what are you going to do?"
"Hmph. Good question."
Escher clapped his hands, and a projection of the entire Yasa world appeared in front of him.
In this projection, 80% of the Yasa world has beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery, but nearly 20% of the area is as black as ink.
“If you want to be crowned a god, you must make sufficient contributions to the Yasha world.
You see, our world has been devastated and exhausted. As long as we remove these areas invaded by chaos, our world will be able to recuperate.
My contribution in cutting off these areas is enough to make me a god.
After hundreds of years of calculations and investigations, I finally figured out how to cut off these areas.
In our Yasa world, there are two magic weapons, one is called the Blade of Doom, and the other is called the Sword of Ice.
As long as there are two demigods who are powerful enough, using the Blade of Doom and the Ice Blade respectively and mobilizing all their energy at the same time, they can release powerful magic that is enough to destroy the world at the same moment of destruction.
This magic is the most extreme order. It is the process of elements splitting into subasha energy, which will release terrifying subasha energy.
Then, a demigod with strong enough mental power, that is, me, will guide this magic to make all the boundaries between Yasa and Chaos Zone disappear, thus completing the separation of Yasa world and Chaos Zone.
The separation I'm talking about is not a superficial separation, but a complete and thorough separation at the level of rules."
It really is the Ice Doomsday! I really need to use the Ice Doomsday to blast the Chaos Zone!
It's really a fantasy.
All the seven pigeons were stunned.
Escher looked at the seven pigeons and asked:
"How is it? Didn't you understand? Then I'll explain it to you again."
"No, I understand it completely."
Qi Ge waved his hand and asked:
"Teacher, I have a question. If, I mean if, even if you really succeed and the Chaos Zone and the Yasha World are separated, but your contribution is still not enough to be deified, what should you do?"
"Hmph... You don't have to worry about that. In theory, eliminating the stubborn disease for the Yasha world is equivalent to defeating a Chaos invasion, so the contribution is definitely enough.
Even if it's really not enough, I still have a way.
The reason why I want to expel the Chaos Zone is that the existence of the Chaos Zone will gradually make the Yasa world unstable, making it easier for Chaos to invade.
There are more things than just the Chaos Zone that can cause the Yasa world to become unstable.
The false gods behind the nine major forces, each of their earthly kingdoms will cause the Yasa world to become unstable.
Killing those false gods and destroying the kingdom of God on earth can also gain contributions.
I have calculated that the energy released after the destruction of the Ice Sword and the Blade of Doom will still be enough to expel the Chaos Zone.
If my contribution is really not enough by then, I will direct the remaining energy towards the kingdom of El Zeus.
His kingdom of God is an earthly kingdom with deep roots and is extremely harmful to the Yasha world. It has been sucking blood from the Yasha world for a long time and is simply a huge contribution library.
Destroying his kingdom of God is enough."
Seven Pigeons: ...
Fuck! What kind of nuclear peace is this?
I thought you were the mastermind, but it turns out you were a friendly force?
Brother Eschel, our Fengshen Organization needs talents like you!
It's just that your plan is still a little too radical and needs some adjustments in the details.
Comrade Eschel is a good comrade. Although there are some problems, we can still unite.
At this moment, Qi Ge's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Oh no! When I came to see Escher, I specifically asked Trosa to strengthen surveillance.
In other words, my meeting with him might have been monitored by the Thunder Temple.
Being monitored by the Thunder Temple means being monitored by El Zeus.
How can this be? !
