Arthur and others were all captured, and several large black mist-condensed hands rose up from the black mist, carrying them quickly towards the depths of the cave.
Having only moved forward about two to three hundred meters, the big hands under Arthur and the others suddenly disappeared, and several of them fell heavily to the ground.
When Arthur and the others were falling to pieces, a hoarse, dry voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Finally someone is here! Let me think about it, how many years have I not seen a living person? Ten years? Or is it? Twelve years?"
Arthur struggled to stand up from the ground and found himself in a cave hall. There are several shimmering crystals inlaid on the rock wall of the hall. With this little light, you can barely see the scenery in the cave.
Following the direction of the sound, Arthur saw an old man with a stooped figure and unkempt hair and beard. He should be the dark magician behind him. His face is unremarkable, but his eyes are as sharp as an eagle.
The old magician sat on a rough-polished high-backed stone chair. The back of the stone chair was against the rock wall, and there must be a hole behind the back of the chair, because the sighing sound of the wind came from behind the stone chair. But what really caught Arthur's attention was next to the stone chair, where there was a small pile of Nanjing.
"You are so young, how wonderful it is to be young!" the old magician sighed to himself.
"Who are you?" Arthur couldn't help but ask.
"You are the ones who broke in. I should ask you first."
"I am Arthur Shield from the Snow Wind Legion of the Kingdom of Isaac, and they are all my friends." At this time, Arthur didn't feel the need to hide anything, so he simply said it directly.
"Snow Legion? Half of the skeleton warriors outside me are from the Snow Legion." The old magician's words were so indifferent that it made people shudder.
"Did you kill all those soldiers?" Arthur followed the old magician's words and asked.
"People are dead, and I gave them life again." In the dark magician's mind, undead creatures are also life, but they are just another form of life.
"Those who are flesh and blood, are they also dead?"
"Their bodies are still alive, but their brains cannot withstand the long-term invasion of the dark atmosphere, and their souls are lost in the darkness."
"So those people are not under your control?"
"No, since those people are lost, I only need to guide them in a direction in their minds, and they will act in that direction." The dark magician said mind control very euphemistically.
The old magician then asked Arthur some more questions, including about the Kingdom of Isaac, the Church of Light, and even the Human Empire. He did not hide anything Arthur knew.
The two people chatted for a long time. During the whole process, the old magician was basically asking Arthur questions and answering them. Arthur also tried to ask a few questions, but rarely received positive answers. Ge Li, Qing and others kept lying on the ground listening, and no one dared to interrupt.
The old magician seemed to have finished what he wanted to ask, and suddenly said: "Thank you for talking to me so much. I haven't talked to anyone for too many years."
"There's no need to thank you. Just open the chains on me and my friends."
The old magician waved his hand, and the black chains on Arthur and Gloria turned into black mist and dissipated.
Arthur was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the other party actually let him go. He stepped forward and saluted and said: "Thank you, we still have friends waiting outside the canyon. If there is nothing else, we will go back first."
Arthur found an excuse and prepared to escape. Although the dark magician had not shown any abnormality since entering the hall, Arthur knew that this was by no means a good place.
Seeing that the old magician did not respond, Arthur turned around and wanted to leave but found that the previous dark restraint had come again, and he could not move at all.
The old magician smiled, "Don't waste your efforts, there is no way out here. While you are still conscious, talk to me for a few more days, and then you will be like them, gradually lost under the erosion of dark magic elements." Stay here forever."
Arthur hurriedly explained: "No, we can go out. Someone is waiting outside to pick us up. After so many years, don't you want to go out for a walk? We can take you out with us?"
"I don't know how many people from the Church of Light are waiting for me to leave outside? I'm tired of being hunted down. It will take me another ten years at most, and I will get out on my own."
"You mean you can break the Great Light Seal from the inside?" The old magician's words shocked Arthur.
"If I hadn't been inside, constantly wearing away the seal of the Church of Light, do you think you would have come in from the outside so easily?"
At this moment, Arthur finally understood what Dino said before, that there were some strange changes in the Great Light Seal.
"We have nothing to do with the Church of Light. Please let us out. We promise to forget everything we saw in the canyon." Arthur tried hard to make a last attempt.
The old magician sighed softly, "No one can understand what the dark magician encounters in this world, and no one in the world can believe it!"
"No, I can understand!" In desperation, a black mist appeared on Arthur's palm and quickly spread around.
"Are you also a dark magician?" The old magician stood up from the stone chair with excitement in his eyes.
In the outside world, the war between humans and beasts has reached its climax.
At the foot of Tongan City, the siege battle has been going on for three consecutive days.
The massive quantities of rolling wood, stone, and sung oil ballista accumulated by the Snow Wind Legion before the war were all consumed in three days, which shows how intense the war was.
The corpses of the orcs who died in battle under Red Rock City almost piled up into a hill. There was also an endless stream of stretchers transporting the corpses and wounded of human warriors from the city wall to the city.
Once the war between the two tribes started, it was like pushing a huge millstone of flesh and blood, consuming the lives of the soldiers all the time.
On the other battlefield, the Blood Flame Wolf launched a fierce attack on the Frost and Thunder Legion camp.
One hundred thousand human warriors and more than 10,000 light knights relied on the military camp defenses that have been in operation for many years to resist with difficulty.
Like the battlefield of Red Rock City, the Frost and Thunder Legion cannot retreat even if they fight to the last man, because behind them is the inland area of the human race that is no longer dangerous to defend.
There is also an invisible battlefield. Outside the Sighing Canyon, seven old orcs in linen robes stood in front of the Great Light Seal.
A thin old werewolf slowly placed his palm on the light seal. The light rippled but did not move him away.
"It's strange, the light seal seems to be much weaker than when it was first set up." The old werewolf said in a low voice.
"What's strange about this? No matter how strong the seal is, it will lose energy and weaken the seal over time." A short fox orc next to him said.
"No, the seal is weakening too fast. I understand that the great light seal of the church will not be weakened so much even in a hundred years. It has only been more than ten years."
"Why do you care so much? The weaker the seal, the easier it is for us to open it. Just tell me if I can break it?" A strong, Lauren said in an angry voice.
The old werewolf nodded, "Using the 'devouring beasts' formation of our temple, the seven of us can open the seal with a little effort."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's do it now!" the Lauren laughed.
"Then everyone is ready, I'm going to take action." The old werewolf took out a seven-pointed star formation plate from his arms and was about to press it on the Great Light Seal.
"Stop!" shouted loudly, and several figures flew over quickly from the sky...
