Age of Mysticism - Chapter 463

Chapter 463 True and False Envoy

Entering the night, the condolence supplies for the entire train were all unloaded. After Luke and Colonel Chester completed the check and handover, he visited the Triumph Fortress accompanied by the Colonel.

I have to admit that this is an extremely grand building, with a vast interior and passages extending in all directions. There is an underground river inside the fortress. As long as there are sufficient supplies, even if the outside is lost, the inside can still resist for a long time.

It’s just that the tactics of the Barbarian Legion were too old, and they were captured by the Northern Territory Legion after only one month of defense.

Talking about the battle against the Triumph Fortress, Colonel Chester lost the restraint he had when we first met, and talked about the tactics used by the Northern Army in the attack. In order to prevent the retreating barbarians from retreating into the mountain to reorganize their defense, General Joshuar boldly adopted airborne tactics during the general attack, concentrated on using airships to break through from the air, and dropped his elite soldiers to rush into the mountain in front of the barbarians.

The loss was great, but the surprise soldiers who broke into the mountain put the main force of the barbarian army at risk of being surrounded and annihilated in the triumphant fortress, so the commander of the barbarian army decisively abandoned the triumphal fortress.

“The Barbarian Legion stored a large amount of supplies at the Triumph Fortress, and we captured almost all of them without damage. Since then, the Barbarian Legion has not had enough supplies to launch a large-scale counterattack. The war initiative of the Tedgar Hills has always been in our northern border In the hands of the Legion.”

Colonel Chester waved his hands, as if the heroic battle was still in front of him.

At this time, the two had entered the mountain, and the passage suitable for barbarians was very spacious for humans. Inside the mountain fortress, there are troop caves, warehouses, and many leisure and entertainment facilities that barbarians like. In some places, the stone walls are incomplete, which should be the place where the battle took place.

Luke asked as he walked: “The passages here are so complicated, is there any place where the barbarians are hidden?”

“At the beginning, there were some, but they were all stragglers, and we quickly cleared them up. We have searched the inside and outside of the fort several times, and found many secret rooms and secret passages. The current fortress is absolutely safe.

Master Marquis, there is a military restricted zone over there, please go this way…”

Luke stopped, and there was a closed iron door at the end of the passage ahead. The iron gate is four meters high and guarded by sentries outside. Seeing someone coming, the sentinel made a stop gesture, and Colonel Chester immediately led to the side road.

Luke just glanced at the gate and felt Colonel Chester’s nervousness. He didn’t ask any more questions, and followed the route led by the colonel.

The two continued to chat about the Battle of Triumph Fortress. When Colonel Chester relaxed, Luke asked abruptly, “When did the special envoy of the Duke of Celtic come?”

“Yesterday morning…” Colonel Chester stopped immediately after realizing that he had said something he shouldn’t have said, but it was obviously too late. The colonel also tried to hide: “No, no, there is no special envoy from the Duke of Celtic.”

Luke said with a smile: “No is better, and it doesn’t matter. I just ask casually, and I don’t go around talking nonsense.”

Colonel Chester smiled helplessly: “Thank you, Lord Marquis.”

“Don’t be nervous, just pretend that I don’t know anything. It’s very late now, you have a busy day and go to bed early, and I will also return to the train to report to Her Royal Highness the handover of condolence materials.”

What is said is the water that was thrown out, and it cannot be taken back. Chester can only say: “I will send Mr. Marquis back.”

The two turned around and walked back.

But walking, Colonel Chester found that the Marquis of Meteor had disappeared at some point. He stared blankly at the passages at the front and rear ends. There was no fork in the road, and a living person seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Colonel Chester immediately reported the disappearance of the meteorite in the fortress, and soon the whole fortress seemed to be bombed, and the soldiers searched for the meteorite in groups all night.

But not even a corner of the clothes was found.

Luke rubbed his fingers together, and a fire burned above his fingertips. In front of him was an unlit passageway, the walls covered with slippery moss and obviously not used in a long time. Luke popped the fire in his hand forward, and the fire shot forward like an arrow.

In the light of the fire, there was nothing in the passage.

But Luke still took out the steel wings of blazing feathers, and turned his hands into a two-handed sword, with the blade shining to illuminate the way forward. Luke held the sword in both hands, and walked forward step by step very carefully.

The Northern Legion’s search for the Triumph Fortress was obviously not careful enough, and this secret passage was not discovered.

Luke walked forward, the footsteps were very loud in the silent passage. He also wanted not to make a sound, but these are special stones, a living stone, and the sound is a warning!

The passage ahead has come to an end, and a stone wall blocks the front, which seems to be a dead end.

I’m afraid that even if the Northland Legion discovers this passage, it will not attract their attention.

Facing the stone wall, Luke put away the steel wings of the glowing feathers first. The light disappeared, and the passage became pitch black again.

“Spirits in the stubborn stone, please knock on the door to the dream. Friends from ancient times come with the old promise, and testify the friendship established by the ancestors here.”

Luke’s voice echoed in the darkness.

A slit of the door glowing blue was drawn from the middle of the stone wall, and then the heavy stone wall opened from the inside. A cyan light shines from behind the door, enveloping Luke in a light curtain.

An ancient voice came from behind the door: “It’s another human being. Are all the barbarians in the Tedgar Hills dead? The one who came yesterday was a human, and the one who came today is still a human.

Hurry up and say something! ”

Luke asked: “Did someone come to the Land of Dreams yesterday?”

This question stunned the creature on the opposite side: “Aren’t you together?”

Luke said: “Definitely not. I was ordered by the Duke of Celtic to ask the rock giants in the Land of Dreams to assist me in assassinating the eldest princess Agatha of the Empire and the Marquis of Meteor. People who came yesterday, what do you want? ”

The creature on the opposite side said in surprise: “He was also ordered by the Duke of Celtic, and asked us to assist in the assassination of the Princess of the Empire and the Marquis of Meteor. What happened? You two have the same order, but you don’t know each other .”

“This shows…that person and I have an impostor.”

Luke stretched out his hand, and a ducal crown appeared in his hand.

The blue light inside the door dissipated immediately, revealing an extremely wide cave.

Luke held the crown of the duke, stepped into the stone gate, walked down a flight of stairs and continued to move forward. There are rock piles everywhere in the cave, and there are two eyes on the stone piles, staring at Luke and turning.

Luke went straight to the front of the largest rock pile in the middle of the cave, bowed to the stone pile, and said, “My name is Luke, and I was ordered by the Duke of Celtic to lurk in the train train coming from the Empire to the Triumphant Fortress. Agatha and the Marquis of Meteorite arrived together today.

The Lord Duke told me that I can seek help in the Land of Dreams in the Triumph Fortress. Because I am a human being, His Excellency the Duke said that his Duke crowned me to prove my identity to the Rock Lord Broken Rock. ”

The stone pile in front of Luke moved a bit, and a part of the stones combined to form an arm stretched out, and the thick index finger and thumb pinched the ducal crown and took it. The stones at the top of the pile of stones formed a head, and Duanyan, the master of the boulders, held the Duke’s crown in front of his eyes for a closer look.

“This is indeed the crown of the Celtic Duke. If you are the Duke’s special envoy, who was that person who came yesterday?”

As for the question of the Lord of the Rock, Luke thought for a while and replied: “It’s hard to judge. But what can be confirmed is that the Land of Dreams has been exposed. Some people know the home of the Rock Giants and the secret order to open the door.”

“This is a troublesome matter.” The Lord of the Great Stone returned the Duke’s crown to Luke, and then said: “Although I am willing to believe that you are the real Duke’s envoy, I also want to give another Duke’s envoy a chance to argue.

You have no opinion, do you? ”

Luke nodded in agreement and said: “No opinion! What is true is true, and what is fake is fake. I also want to see who dared to pretend to be the Duke’s special envoy, and how they stole the secrets of the Land of Dreams. ”

“Yes, we must find out the truth!” The Lord of the Boulder summoned a stone chair for Luke: “Mr. Luke, please sit down…the special envoy should arrive soon.”

Luke sat down and waited patiently for the arrival of the “Celtic Duke Envoy”.

The Land of Dreams is the home of the rock giants. Like the Oulu Academy, it is in an independent space that overlaps with the Triumph Fortress. The first part of Triumph Fortress is also the largest project, which was built by the rock giants.

The rock giants migrated into the Tedgar Hills during the ancient war and established friendship with the barbarians, so the rock giants generally would not refuse the barbarians’ help. With such an ambush hiding inside the Triumph Fortress, when the barbarian army is able to counterattack, the rock giants can deal a heavy blow to the northern army.

The purpose of Luke coming to find the rock giant this time is to test whether the special envoy of the Duke of Celtic has come to find the rock giant. If the Duke of Celtic wants to force Sinclair to rebel, he only needs to assassinate the princess of the empire and the governor of Raging City in the fortress of triumph, which is enough to achieve his goal.

As a result, I tried it, and it came out.

All we have to do now is… kill the authentic Duke envoy.

Tap tap Sinclair by the way.

Luke flipped through the information on the phone, looking calm from the outside.

No one spoke, and the only sound in the cave was the sound of dripping water.

After waiting for too long, the stone door of the cave opened, and a person walked in in a panic: “Great Lord of Boulders, what is the urgent matter that requires me to come here now? Do you know that the entire northern army is looking for Yun?” …

This man is… Luke, why are you here! ”

The man saw Luke and immediately called out his name, obviously seeing him in the holy mountain.

Luke also remembered the identity of the person who came. He was a close minister of the Duke of Celtic, and he was highly valued and trusted by Celtic.

“Consultant Quinton…” Luke also called out the other person’s name: “I also want to know why you are here.”

The Lord of the Boulder said: “Since the two of you know each other, I think it will be easy to handle this time. Consultant Quinton, please sit down. I have a few questions and I need you to answer them truthfully.”

Quinton was at a loss. He sat down in the stone chair made by the Lord of Boulders and said, “Can you explain to me what is going on now?”

The Lord of the Boulder said: “I also want to know the answer to the current situation. Advisor Quinton, since you know Mr. Luke, can you tell me how you know him?”

Several stone piles moved over and surrounded Luke and Quinton. The unusual atmosphere made Quinton a little nervous: “His name is Luke, and he is an adventurer from Raging City. During the Hercules competition on the Holy Mountain After winning the championship, His Excellency the Duke personally wore the championship belt.

Because of contributing to the transformation technology of the Storm Barbarian, the Duke rewarded him with his Duke Crown.

After he left the holy mountain, there was no news. ”

“Thank you for your answer.” The Lord of Boulders asked Luke again: “How did you know Advisor Quinton?”

Luke replied: “Because I have been performing missions outside, I don’t know much about Advisor Quinton. I only know that he is a close minister of the Duke, and the Duke trusts him very much!”

Luke said “trust” very heavily, which made Quinton’s ears very harsh. He said impatiently to the Boulder Lord: “I don’t know how this adventurer found this place. Since he knows the secret here, he must not be allowed to leave alive.”

“It’s up to me to decide how to let him leave.” The Lord of Boulders asked Quinton, “Do you know that Luke is working for the Celtic Duke?”

Quinton was shocked: “This… is this true?”

Luke chuckled and said: “Of course it is true. The last time I went back to the Holy Mountain was to contribute the transformation technology of the Storm Barbarians, and by the way, to give Lord Duke a reason to clean up the Abyss Temple.

In Raging Waves City, I opened up the port again, so that the supplies from Tedgar Hills can be shipped out smoothly. I even suggested to Meteor that secretly helping Tedgar Hill would help him control the empire, and was approved by Meteor, so the Raging City Welfare Agency is going to invest in the infrastructure construction of Tedgar Hill. ”

Quinton suddenly realized.

He has always been unable to figure out the mysterious operation of Raging City during this period. If the smuggling can still be hidden from Meteor, the large-scale welfare investment will definitely not be able to hide it from him. A nonchalant attitude.

If the Tedgar Hills are secretly funded, the empire will be more dependent on the meteor, which can be explained.

Unexpectedly, the Duke quietly placed a spy by Meteor’s side.

“Did you come with Meteor?”

Luke replied: “Yes, we are in the same car.”

Quinton was overjoyed: “The Lord Duke ordered me to assassinate the princess Agatha and Meteor of the Empire. If you can assist me, I will definitely complete this feat.”

Luke snorted coldly: “If the Duke assassinates the eldest princess Agatha and Meteor, just notify me. What else do you want to do?”

Quinton froze…Yeah, what did you send me for?

Luke took advantage of the heat and said, “Quinton! The Duke trusts you so much, I didn’t expect you to betray the Duke. Tell me! How did you know about the Land of Dreams! You falsely passed on the Duke’s order to ask the rock giant to assassinate Agatha And what is the purpose of the meteorite?

Do you want to lure the rock giants out of the Land of Dreams, and then ambush them to destroy them! ”

“You, you, you…” Quinton stood up, pointed at Luke and said loudly, “What nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t betray the Duke, and I didn’t falsely pass on the orders of the Duke. These were all told to me by the Duke himself.

You, you…I know who you are! You are Meteor, and the Northern Legion is looking for you everywhere. I didn’t expect you to come here and pretend to be the Duke’s spy.

The Lord of the Boulder, he is definitely a meteor! ”

Luke laughed loudly: “I am Meteor? You exposed your identity to save your life. You really dare to tell any lies!”
