Chapter 44 The Supreme King of the Ghost Empire
Anger is not enough to wash away the humiliation of Hajj Horner, the hand of the Supreme King.
"Mokou Town!"
He fled back to the tower in a panic and spit out the name angrily, as if it was poison on his tongue.
He thought he was completely sure that he was defeated, and he was defeated very thoroughly, so completely that even he himself could not believe it.
This feeling is like every proud spell you knitted is countered by the enemy and bounced back, causing it to burn the body.
And his opponent was just a small lord with low strength, and he thought unwillingly.
In Hajjhona's life.
Since he learned the first trick, he has never had such a humiliating defeat.
Thinking back to the ancient silver dragon from the Silver Moon Alliance, he felt that his IQ and strength were all pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Nearly a hundred ghost mages survived, less than ten people, and these are the few survivors left on the entire battlefield.
What made him most heartbroken was that he invested more than 200 constructed golems and more than 500 gargoyles.
These constructed creatures that were enough to crush Mokou Town not only did not play any role, but were even used as victorious spoils by the enemies.
He could almost imagine that when he decided to attack Mokou Town again, the first thing he encountered was definitely these consecrated golems.
Hajjhona suppressed his anger, and after tidying up his appearance, he took out an insignia that symbolized his identity: a silver winged venomous snake on the black background, and a gray stone tower among the coils of the venomous snake.
The mist sprayed from the emblem made him realize that he had to respond to the summons of the Supreme King.
The moment he activated the spell of the emblem, a slightly shiny passage appeared in front of him.
Hajjhona walked into the magic passage without hesitation and appeared in a huge foyer.
This foyer may be somewhere in the floating city of Sultanza, in a corner of the shadow plane, or even in some distant and agnostic plane.
At this moment, many ghost mages stood around uneasy, waiting patiently.
While they were waiting for the Supreme King to appear, they also looked at their fellow travelers with caution.
Some people have never seen each other since they were trained together in Arcane Academy.
Because arcanes always like to hide their own magic secrets and serve the power and honor of the ghost prince whom they are loyal to.
Status is everything, even in the society of arcane.
Glittering badges are worn in the most conspicuous places, while those ghost mages who are not as traditional wear magical jewelry.
Hundreds of gems flashed in the hall with shimmering light, and the colorful colors reflected on the outer skin of the magic black cloak that all the mages wore.
Some mages also bring their own minions: Shadow Cats, Shadow Bats, Constructed Mobs, and even the Little Devils from Batto Hell and the Little Devils from the Bottom Abyss.
As the ghost mages entered this magic house one after another, the hall soon became full of people, and the atmosphere became more silent and deep.
These hundreds of outstanding ghost mages are the core force of the floating city of Sultansa. This powerful force is enough to destroy any kingdom and alliance on the continent.
Hajjhona ignored these ghost mages and chose to go straight to the "Table Hall" where only the core personnel are qualified to enter.
That is, the hall of the Supreme King Terramante Tanshul, this is a wide circular room with obsidian walls without any decoration.
There are four tall narrow windows in the hall facing the empty starry sky of southeast, west, north, west and west.
There is an oak table carved from giant wooden boards in the center of the hall, which is why the picture table hall is named.
This was the golden age of the ancient Neseril Empire, built by the Supreme King.
The ‘map table’ is more than fifty feet long, the widest part is about half the length, and the narrowest part is less than four feet.
The alchemists of Neseril carved mountains and forest plains according to the territory of the Arcane Empire period, and the entire table was not straight.
The desktop depicts the appearance of the Enoak Desert or the green land, all the rivers, mountains, fortress cities, lakes and forests during the Arcane Empire period... They are all in size, with magical auras that have accumulated for dozens of centuries.
This is the most precious item of the Supreme King Terramante Tanshul, because he has been dreaming of restoring the Enoak Desert into the scene before him.
Hajjhona scoffed at this.
In his opinion, the city lord has not yet been able to get out of the shadow of the Golden Age of the Arcane Empire.
There is only one table and chair in the entire hall. It has been carefully designed and corresponds to a palm-sized ghost city model floating in the air, so you can see the tabletop together.
"Yo! Isn't this the Supreme King's Hand Haj Horner?" As soon as Haj Horner stepped into the hall, a sarcastic voice came into his ears.
The eldest prince Rivalan Tanshul.
Even if Hajj Horner didn't deliberately check it out, he knew who the other party was.
He is the supreme priest and spokesperson of the Lost Lady Shar in the Ghost City. If the Supreme King Terramante is the leader of the Arcane, then this great prince is the spiritual leader.
The prince was in charge of the affairs of the Lost Temple and preached Shahr's will to the believers.
It was Prince Rivalan's prophecy that enabled the Supreme King to finally guide the City of Ghost to return to the main material world.
Here, Ms. Lost hopes that the power of the Ghost City can overturn her long-term balance with the goddess Sulun of the Moon.
At the same time, Revalan is also Hajjhona's biggest competitor, just because he is the spokesperson of the Supreme King, that's all.
This forced him to be cautious all the time, after all, Prince Rivalan's enemies have a bad habit: they like to disappear.
The ghost prince Rivalan wore a luxurious priest robe, dark skin, and still looked very young. He had a majestic superior temperament in every move.
In the drooping of his priest robe, the inscription of the Lost Lady Shar was embroidered: purple outer ring, black disc.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! And below the disc, an additional pair of curved dark purple goat horns are added.
The distance between Hajjhona and Revalan is less than five steps away.
For a powerful spellcaster, at this distance, they have countless ways to easily kill the enemy.
If we simply compare the achievements of both parties in magic skills, then there is no doubt that Hajj Horner's strength is not as good as any of the twelve ghost princes.
Especially the spokesperson of Ms. Lost, Prince Rivalan, as the Supreme Priest, can backhandedly let his mortal enemy disappear from this world forever.
However, Hajjhona never felt any fear, because he knew it in his heart, and Prince Rivalan knew it very well.
If he dies or disappears here, it will not be a benefit but a trouble waiting for Prince Rivalan.
Just thinking about the possible reaction that the Supreme King Terramante could make after he noticed this incident was enough to prevent Prince Rivalan from acting rashly.
"It's really him, I almost didn't recognize it." The speaker was a young warrior wearing deep black armor. His appearance was as sharp as a sharp knife, and his dark black eyes were always cold.
"I have witnessed with my own eyes that he was chased by an ancient silver dragon. His embarrassing look was indescribable." The young soldier said mercilessly.
For a moment, the princes in the hall couldn't help laughing.
Hajjhona unconsciously clenched her fists and slowly let it go, and her hatred for Mokou Town increased a little more.
Yada Tanshul.
The second prince of the Ghost City is the right-hand assistant of the great prince Rivalan. Without the talent of arcane, he is a powerful warrior. As a powerful warrior, he started as a soldier in the Ghost City army and obtained the position of captain, and became Shar's dark guard.
The current second prince Yada is dedicated to his deity career and is the supreme commander of the Dark Knight and the Dark Guard in the Lost Temple.
His personal mark is a silver giant sword on a black background, and the round head of the hilt is the emblem of the Lost Goddess Shar.
The power of Yinhun City can be roughly divided into three stocks.
The most powerful force is the ghost prince led by the Supreme King Terramante, who are committed to recreating the glory of the Arcane Empire.
Then there are princes led by the Great Prince and the Second Prince, who serve the priest and the dark guard of Ms. Lost, against the goddess of the moon, Sulun and the goddess of magic Mistera.
Finally, there are neutral parties like DeSude, who remain silent and rarely express their opinions.
Although Hajjhona is the spokesperson of the Supreme King, he never thought of recreating the glory of the Arcane Empire. He lived only for himself.
He frowned angrily, looked at the two of them coldly, and remained silent.
"I think what we should be most concerned about at the moment is the real reason for Hajjhona's failure in order to prepare for the response in advance."
The ghost prince of the neutral faction, Desude, spoke: "After all, the Kingdom of Cormier is the richest kingdom among our goals, and it is also the most threatening kingdom."
After hearing Desude's words, a sense of anger surged in Hajjhona's heart. If he hadn't ignored it, he wouldn't have ended up in such a mess.
Now, this old guy who pretends to be deep and still looks arrogant and helps him with preaching, which is extremely hypocritical.
Indeed, he was not only hypocritical, but also cruel and ruthless, thinking angrily by the Supreme King.
His hypocritical feelings make people think that his life goal is just to revive his dead wife, but he is so cruel that his two daughters want to kill him.
"Yes, I think so too." An elegant gentleman in a black cloak followed.
On his left bra, a unique pattern consisting of three silver balls like the moon was embroidered with gold and silver threads. Anyone was impressed after seeing it.
The ghost prince has dark brown skin, looks quite young, but has a wise look and looks very scholarly.
He waved his cane and dispersed the two super-small constituent creatures that were floating in the air, playingfully blocking his sight, and said slowly:
"I witnessed the entire battle in the tower. The Supreme King's defeat was not worthy of sympathy at all. Through this battle, I observed his dark character, conceit, arrogant, and arrogant. He had not even studied who his opponent was. Such stupid people deserved to be defeated, and they simply lost all the face of the Arcane Empire. It's a pity that the warriors who died due to command errors."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the princes chose to remain silent, without even talking.
In the spacious hall, even the air seemed to be solidified, stagnating so suffocatingly.
Brenas Tanshure.
The youngest prince in the ghost city is also the prince with the highest arcane talent, and the little prince who is most doting by the Supreme King.
As a child, Brenas was discovered to be an arcane genius with superb intelligence.
He has always been tutored by the best arcane tutor in the city.
Although Brenas soon showed the family's expectations of him in arcane, his arcane mentor discovered that he had a stronger talent in history.
Under the instructions of the Supreme King, his arcane mentors focused the prince's education on the history and legend of the arcane empire as vast as a sea of stars, and Brenas also grew rapidly in this regard.
Now he has become the premier expert in Ghost City about Naserel's past.
It was he who discovered another floating city in the sea of fallen stars, and sent an expedition to dig out the wealth and knowledge left there, salvaged it and flew it back into the sky.
Prince Brenas also claimed that the Eno Auck Desert hides a mysterious force from the Creator race. As long as you master this force, you can fulfill your ambition to revive the Arcane Empire.
In Hajjhona's impression, when he came into contact with others, the prince always seemed very gentlemanly and in accordance with etiquette.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! However, when facing myself today, I did not leave even a trace of affection, and unceremoniously expose his pain, making him lose face in front of all the princes.
While he was angry, his heart also felt a little cold.
On the surface, he is the spokesperson of the Supreme King, known as the "Hand of the Supreme King".
But the one who comes into contact with the Supreme King was actually Prince Brenas. From his attitude towards him, we can see that the Supreme King was already very dissatisfied with him.
At this moment, the extremely loud, monotonous, and regular footsteps broke the silence from far to near.
The Supreme King Terramante Tanshul walked out of nothingness and stood in the middle of the hall.
As usual.
He wore ancient and traditional black armor, symbolizing the rule of the Naserrel Empire, paired with a dragon-winged cloak, fixed-style arm armor and dark purple robe.
His personal mark is: a lion-like creature depicted in a black outline on a blood-red background, with dragon-like or bat-like wings.
It is said that the Supreme King possesses more magical equipment and weapons than most ghost princes have seen in their lifetime.
Although two wands were hanging conspicuously on his belt, no one suspected that he had hidden more weapons on him.
However, the most deadly weapon of the Supreme King was his graceful and slender hands, which could outline the magic of death with great cleverness and talented mind, which allowed him to reach the pinnacle of arcane.
In the entire Yinhun City, only the Supreme King has the right to convene such a gathering.
This Neseril Arcanist, known as the Supreme King, is one of the most powerful spellcasters in the material world today.
Thousands of years ago, he was once called Chardon, and as one of the survivors of Neserel, he ruled the city of Ghost with absolute authority.
Having been over 2,000 years old, Terramant used powerful spells, such as prayer techniques, to continue his life.
However, since he was no longer a human being but a creature from another world, this method has become easier.
Although the natural limit of life of the ghost is many times that of ordinary people, Terramante also found out with disgust that his body of alien creatures has begun to no longer be suitable and requires a stronger way to continue to maintain his life.
He hasn't decided which method is the best, but the return of the Ghost City to the material world provides a lot of possibilities, including transformation into an undead creature.
Terramant spent a great effort to preserve what he believed was the best elements of the Neseril society and blended it with the characteristics necessary to survive in the shadow plane to form a magic society full of orderly and strict control.
Here, even the most ordinary problem in daily life must be implemented through layers of procedures, and the class has been preserved in this form.
More importantly, as many centuries pass, the continuity of the ancient Naserel civilization has been preserved.
As the most well-known final arbiter of the City of Ghosts, Terramant is in many ways the city itself, and his subjects regard him as the living embodiment of their customs, faith and values, and this is also Terramant's view of himself.
Those who meet with the Supreme King think that he is a person with millions of ways to hide his true thoughts and feelings.
Terramant was as hard to understand as it was hard to be deceived. Even his son rarely knew what he thought under his father's unfathomable mask, ice-like calmness.
Although Terramant's appearance is cold and expressionless, his heart is always active, and in his heart, he is a completely dictator.
His determination to lead the city stems from the strong confidence that no one else succeeds as much as he does.
Despite his age, Terramante is still tall and energetic.
Whether sitting on his throne floating in the air or presiding the ceremony in the city streets, his image is unforgettable.
"For the entire continent, our appearance is not traditional and is even regarded as public enemy."
The Supreme King Terramante's voice was so soft that everyone had to listen quietly, "The people of the Arcane Empire never cared about the opinions and opinions of others, because we just wanted to get back what we own."
Hajjhona noticed that the Supreme King glanced at him, which made him feel shocked. He completely understood that his failure had caused his dissatisfaction.
"The oracle of the Lost Lady has been issued."
He glanced at the eldest prince Rivalan and continued to say in a gentle voice, "Most casters think that their magic source is attributed to the magic net, which seems to be a matter of course."
He paused his words and raised his eyebrows slightly, probably to strengthen the irony in the words, "However, our source of casting is Ms. Lost Lady's Shadow Magic Net. If necessary, Shadow Magic Net can also replace the Magic Net."
The whispers of excitement and fear echoed in the secret hall of the floating city.
The Supreme King raised one hand and a simple command gesture, the ghost prince and Hajj Horner all quieted down.
“If necessary.”
He repeated firmly, "Shadow Magic Net will completely replace Magic Net. Our task is to wait and observe, and finally cooperate with Ms. Lost to complete this plan."
After the Supreme King finished speaking, he looked at the great prince Ruivalan.
"Report to the Supreme King, I have successfully penetrated my power into the interior of the Sanbi royal family." The eldest prince responded to his father and said respectfully, "As soon as the time comes, our army will be able to completely conquer Sambiya."
The Supreme King nodded slightly, looked at Hajjhona, and smiled, "The location of the ceremony has been chosen, located in the swamp where the two countries of Cormier and Sambia are handed over: Guangze. Lady Lost is the goddess who protects the secrets. Her plan does not want to be known or disturbed by anyone. You should know what to do, my Supreme King's hand."
Seeing this familiar smile, Hajjhona was shocked and frightened into a cold sweat. He quickly promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely take down the Kingdom of Cormier as fast as possible!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at the calm Desude.
"No need." A faint smile appeared on the lips of the Supreme King Terramante.
"I said that our task is to wait and observe. The accident in Mokou Town has backfired, and the people of the Dragon Berlin Cult also participated. What is even more gratifying is that the Santalin Association also focused its attention on the valley and Comanso due to this accident, which undoubtedly created opportunities for us."
"I understand, wait patiently and observe." Hajjhona secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just understand." The Supreme King nodded slightly, and then his expression suddenly became serious, "Then, you and Desu are responsible for the matter about Feilin Mokui for the time being."
Felin Demonic Aoi!
As soon as these words were spoken, the ghost princes all looked shocked.
Obviously, they did not know about the birth of Ferin Mokui.
"Don't worry, Supreme King, I will do my best to find out the real purpose of Ferin Demon Aoi." Hajjhona was so scared that she almost collapsed on the ground.
He thought he could perfectly conceal the incident of encountering Feilin Mokui, but who would have thought that the Supreme King would still be known.
When he saw the Supreme King's gaze turned to the ghost prince Desude again.
"I'm very sorry, Supreme King." Desude looked at the father who had no blood relationship with him. He hesitated and said slowly:
"I encountered a bottleneck of arcane, so I don't want to participate in any incident. Of course, I will hand over all my powers as a punishment for leaving it alone."
The Supreme King showed a chuckling that made Hajjhona feel scared, "Do you know, what does this mean?"
"Of course I know, but I don't regret my choice." Desude said firmly with his attitude towards the Supreme King.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
After a long silence...
The Supreme King sighed softly and said to Desude, "So, you have been to the Fierce Forest. In that case, I respect the choice you made, child."
When everyone mentioned the taboo place name "Furious Forest", everyone showed unconcealed surprise and shock.
Because it was the place where the fall of a great arcane Karthas, a great arcane during the Naserel period.
As a mortal, Kalsas was a great arcane of the School of Mind. He created Kalsas's Demonic Technique, a 12-ring spell that permanently changed the mechanism of magic.
This incredible spell is the only 12-ring spell that has been created.
It is designed to temporarily steal the power of a deity and make the caster a temporary god.
When Karthas releases his spell, he foolishly selects the magic goddess Misrell as his prey.
In an ambitious mind, knowledge always overwhelms wisdom, and there is no exception to Karthas.
After the great arcane released his spell, his body was swelled by the sudden influx of divine power, and his mind was filled with unimaginable knowledge.
Kalsas immediately realized how terrible he had done.
However, he also knew that no matter what he did, he could not stop this destined thing.
The divinity that the great arcane stole from the goddess was the magic net clergy that needed her constant repair - Naserel and its abusive magic constantly threatened to disintegrate the magic net.
When Misriel lost the ability to keep the magic net intact, Karthas was not enough to replace her duties.
The magic net began to fall into violent fluctuations, and the area outside of the Naserel area and places were flooded by primitive magic floods. The surging magic tides had much more power and damage than they had before.
Before the damage becomes irreversible, Misrell sacrifices himself to save the magic net.
This self-sacrifice temporarily stagnated the interaction of the magic net, causing all magic to stop working for several minutes.
Losing the stable injection of magic power, Naserel's floating city suddenly fell to the ground.
Karthas was killed immediately when Misrell died for her actions, as her magic was cut off from contact with him.
After Kalsas' death, his divinely powerful body immediately turned into a red-toned stone, and the instant god also fell from the top of his floating city to the earth.
When his body fell, the divine vision that was temporarily given was played back in his mind over and over again the scene of the city of Naserier falling to the earth and crushing to pieces.
His heart was broken after realizing that it was his greed for the power of the gods that had caused the destruction of his homeland, his family, his friends, and his people.
Even after his death, his heart was still bleeding.
Due to the magic of the fierce forest, Karthas was trapped in eternal torture, revisiting the moment when he finally realized his stupidity again and again.
Therefore, he was named the God of the Moment.
The sect of Karthas, the god of faith, declares:
The destruction of Neseril is the result of the angry gods punishing the foolishness and arrogance of the human race. Kalsas destroyed Neseril in his arrogance, but this caused the destruction of Neseril, which transformed the great arcane into a coexistence of humanity and divinity. Kalsas, they firmly believed, would lead the human race into a new era of magic built on the ashes of the old era.
So, Karthas's followers held endless rituals to awaken their gods.
It is said that their ritual was inspired by the ‘dream’ of the sect leader, similar to those who guided the Neserils to find the form of Kalsas.
However, so far, no one has been able to truly awaken Karthas.
Desuda bowed slightly to the Supreme King and stopped talking.
"As the highest person in charge of the Spiral Court, I hope that you will complete the unhandled case before you leave." The Supreme King said to the ghost prince Desude.
Chapter completed!
