Lord of Glory - Chapter 122: The Truth After the Truth
Such a thunderous sword light met his face, illuminating Nashura’s deathly white face! He could even feel the biting cold wind stimulating his cheeks, ready to slice through the skin with ease. “Watch out!” Adele, who was on Nashura’s shoulder, was more able to realize what kind of threat this was than this mage! With a pressure on his body, he bent the dazed Nashura over. And Adele swiftly took out two daggers and crossed them in front of her body!
Only a loud boom was heard! Adele and Nashura let out a pained cry in unison, and were violently knocked out by this attack! Nashura was not so bad, most of the impact was borne by Adele, and he himself only fell out four or five meters and crawled like a dog.Instructor Adele’s whole body was sent flying like a cannonball, and hit the city wall behind fiercely, stirring up a burst of gravel from the city wall accumulated over the years. Adele’s originally bleak face was even more miserable, and her entire delicate body was embedded in the pit of the city wall, vomiting out a ball of dirty blood!
Adele, whose vision began to blur, barely raised her head, and immediately saw a red-haired man in front of her, wearing a raw silk shirt and holding an ordinary one-handed sword, rushing towards Nashura who had climbed to his feet! It was too late, the doppelganger looked at Nashura, who was close at hand, and backhanded a sword! The silver bright thunderbolt sword light was like a silver snake, swinging in front of Nashura’s body! “Don’t!” Adele let out a miserable scream, her powerless hand trembling as she reached out. Tears of sadness came to her eyes. She didn’t want her beloved to die under the hands of her self-inflicted pursuers! That would be a regret she would pursue for the rest of her life.
However, Nashura was no slouch after all. The word “Ice” of the Great Magician of Ice was not something to be taken for granted. Seeing that the sword blade was about to slice through his head, Nashura immediately opened his five fingers and ruthlessly pressed on the short wand! Boom! Three huge ice walls suddenly appeared in front of Nashura. The sword light of the doppelganger slashed on it in a good way. The sturdy ice walls snapped flush. However, because of this negligence, Nashura was able to take a breather and ran back to Adele, nervously picking her up.
Seeing that he couldn’t win with a single blow, the doppelganger simply stood still, blocking Adele’s and the other person’s retreating paths, holding the cross-sword with one hand, the tip of the sword pointing on the ground, ready to attack at any time. And at this moment, while picking up Adele, while alert to the movements of the doppelganger, Nashura, upon seeing Adele with black blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, immediately said worriedly, “Is it alright, you’re hurt too badly.”
Adele shook her head slightly, suddenly staring at the indifferent doppelganger with bloodshot eyes, she couldn’t suppress her doubts and asked, “Who are you? We don’t know you at all, why are you attacking us?” The doppelganger’s eyes stared slightly, he clearly saw that this mage beside Adele who was blocking his attack possessed an aquamarine color of more than a thousand water elementals. With such a number of mana rings, it should be a Great Magician.
For the Great Magicians, the Mages’ Guild had clear records of them. It was thought that one could find out where this fellow came from just by looking it up. However, immediately after, the doppelganger had a big headache, it was unexpected that this reinforcement was an Archmage, the chances of winning were slim if it was a hard fight. Only by surprise can we win. After confirming such a battle plan, the Doppelganger actually still vaguely felt that this mage with more than a thousand water element rings gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Looking at the many strokes of the pen, it was actually just an instant. The doppelganger listened to Adele’s questioning and just looked indifferent, without any intention to explain. And Adele stood up under the assistance of Nashura, looking at the doppelganger and said through clenched teeth, “Such speed, strength, and explosive power. You are at least a seven-star swordsman. I guess it’s not a nameless person. Could it be that you’re a lackey who sells out for that Paladin?” Hearing such words, the doppelganger hadn’t said anything yet, but Nashura on the side immediately inclined his head and pursued, “Yes, could it be that Paladin caused this injury of yours?” “Uh-huh.”
Adele weakly nodded and said, “Everything is clear. This Paladin is a fake. The real Paladin is said to be dead. This impostor is waving his name as Father Paladin and killed the Flamel family in order to avoid the revelation. And then framed it for the dead O’Neill. It caused a huge conflict between the Mages’ Guild and the Principality! All of this is the work of this impostor!” Adele finished gritting her teeth, and when she saw Nashura’s shocked look, she immediately interjected, “And I know this impostor, and he knows me as well. It’s a handyman who escaped from the Union. Hmph, I can’t imagine that a handyman who is seen as an idiot is higher than me in alchemy attainment.”
Nashura didn’t care about Adele’s melancholy, after seeing Adele pull out a bottle of medicine from her belt and gently apply it to the broken arm. The wound on the severed arm healed quickly and scarred. Only then did Adele put the medicine bottle back into her belt with a sigh of relief and heartache. As the doppelganger watched this, he suddenly laughed out slightly, “Hundred-leaf grass plus the teeth of three pigs, paired with the bark of the manzanita tree produced by Aixinzhe. It took twelve refining and disintegration spells to refine a high-grade emergency healing potion. Adele, you’re really rich.” “You, how did you know that!”
Adele blurted out with a change in her complexion. While at this moment, Nashura frowned tightly as she looked at the doppelganger and said, “Red hair, superior sword skills, and the reason why you chased over for Paladin. You, should be Paladin’s brother, Knight Alfred!” “What!” Adele at his side was immediately startled, but Nashura tightly gripped his wand and looked very warily at the doppelganger who narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, “Adele think about it. The current Paladin is an impostor, but this Paladin’s brother appeared together in the fortress, and not only did he not reveal his identity these days, but he even worked together! Do you think that a person would collude with an enemy who killed his entire family?”
“You mean…….” Adele was a bit fuming. And Nashura’s tone became heavy and said, “No one would do anything, provided that this Alfred, too, is a fake!” “Fake? But then all the nobles will know about it, because unlike Paladin, there are too many nobles who have seen Alfred!”
“Exactly! Adele, you’ve been in the FreeMason Federation for so long, you should also know that there are medicines that can change your appearance.” Nashura, who said so, saw Adele nod her head gravely. Immediately, in a very confirming tone, he fiercely pointed at the doppelganger and said, “So, you’re the impostor who’s pretending to be Paladin! You, who are also from the Union, are even more comfortable with the drugs that change your appearance. That’s why you changed your appearance to become that so-called brother after Adele was injured! You were pretending to be two people all by yourself! Hey, the only thing that makes me wonder is how you dealt with the many habits and knowledge of another identity. After all, even if one becomes as much like one person as possible, the demeanor would be just as recognizable.”
“Hahahahaha, this honorable mage is truly not disgracing the name of a mage who is both a scholar. Although it’s only half right.” The doppelganger who suddenly went against the norm and laughed out loud gently shook the crossed swords in his hand, while the smile on his face grew more and more sinister, “But you are very foolish. Because then while you were talking nonsense, reinforcements have already arrived.”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of footsteps on the ground with iron boots immediately rang out from the left. Dozens of soldiers with hook and sickle spears and long swords swarmed up. Surrounding the injured Adele and the frozen Nashura. The sharp blades of the swords and the tips of the spears pointed straight at the two!
At this moment, Nashura knew that it turned out that this disguised Paladin was confirming that his strength couldn’t defeat his Grand Magician’s magic power. So much for stalling for time and letting reinforcements come to surround himself! At this moment, the doppelganger raised his hand with a victor’s smile and exclaimed, “I am Baron Sindep, Grand Captain of the Aries Knights, Alfred, Flamel! These two men intended to murder my brother! I order by Article 23 of the Noble Convention of the Principality of Kasmi that all soldiers in service who intend to murder a noble are all at the mercy of the highest noble at this time! And my order is. Kill them!” At this moment, the eyes of the doppelganger were radiating a dangerous light.
