Outside the Valley of Sighs, the people coming from the Church of Light were flying in the air.
The two leaders were both wearing red priest robes, and one of them was Archbishop Sothis.
The person next to Archbishop Sothis was a young woman with a cold and pretty face, who had reached the level of a cardinal at a young age.
Behind the two were three bishops in purple priest robes and a knight in silver armor, who were the three giants of the Isaac Parish Church and the leader of the Punishment Knights, Toton.
The Church of Light dispatched more than six bishops at a time, which shows that the importance of the Valley of Sighs to the Church of Light is self-evident.
Sothis obviously knew the thin werewolf opposite him, and bowed slightly and said: "Elder Ghost Wolf, our Church of Light had an agreement with the Temple. The two families worked together to seal the canyon, and the armies of the two tribes were stationed on both sides of the canyon. No one could enter the canyon. Is the Temple now ready to tear up the agreement openly?"
"We have no intention of tearing up the agreement, but the orcs have been severely suppressed by you humans in recent years, so we naturally cannot stay out of it. And your seal has been consumed a lot in recent years. We are going to open the seal and take some things from the canyon. After that, we will reinforce the seal of the canyon again. What your church is worried about will never happen. "
Before Sothis spoke, the red-robed woman beside him sneered, "You want to take something from the canyon? There was no such provision in the original agreement between the two tribes, right? Even if the Great Light Seal is loose, reinforcing the seal is the business of our Church of Light, and the Orc Temple does not need to worry about it for us."
The Phantom Wolf glanced at the red-robed woman coldly, "This must be the new Flame Saint of the Church of Light, right? She is really angry! The Sighing Canyon is now in the hands of our orcs. Does the Temple need the consent of the Church to take something from it?"
"Does your Temple want to go to war?" The Flame Saint stared at the Phantom Wolf Elder with a cold look.
The Tauren Elder on the side roared, "Hasn't the Knights of your Church already joined the war? They were beaten by us and fled back with their tails between their legs. If you want to fight, then fight. Do you really think the Temple is afraid of your Church?"
With a hot-tempered guy on each side, it would be strange if this negotiation didn't collapse?
The first to attack was the Flame Saint of the Church, who raised her hand to the Minotaur and a fire dragon appeared.
The Minotaur seemed to be coming for the fight, and instantly pulled out a double-edged giant axe from his back and chopped the fire dragon head-on with one axe.
As the two started fighting, Archbishop Sothis and Elder Wolf could not talk even if they wanted to, and both sides joined the battle.
When the human and beast armies staged another racial war for land and generations of hatred, the two religions officially went to war over the mysterious Valley of Sighs, and the war was going completely out of control...
When the war outside was getting intense, the Valley of Sighs suddenly took a turn for the better.
When Arthur revealed his identity as a dark magician, the old magician was obviously excited, "Child, tell me, which family are you from?"
"I don't know which family I belong to. My parents were captured by the Church of Light when I was eight years old. At that time, I was just a magic apprentice. After that, I have been hiding my identity for so many years to avoid the pursuit of the church, and at the same time, I have been looking for news of my parents." Arthur put Arnold's experience on himself without blushing or beating his heart.
"Come here, poor child, why didn't you tell me your identity just now?"
Arthur walked to the side of the old magician, "I dare not believe anyone. If I hadn't had to, I wouldn't dare to reveal my identity."
"You did the right thing. Remember, no one in the world can be trusted! But we dark magicians are all one family. We endure the same suffering. We pass on the torch and rely on each other to keep the glory of dark magic forever." At this time, the old magician looked at Arthur with more love in his eyes.
"Can I know your name? Did the Church of Light seal you here?" Arthur finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
The old magician looked absent-minded, as if he was lost in a memory. After a long time, he slowly said, "If you don't ask, I'll almost forget my name. My name is Louis Field, and they call me Explorer Louis."
"My dream when I was young was to become the most powerful dark magician, so that dark magic and light magic could compete with each other. But you know, this world is not fair to dark magicians. The dark magic elements have been suppressed in the light world, which makes it extremely difficult for us dark magicians to practice."
"But I didn't give up. I found that the dark magic elements in some places on the continent are particularly active. If you practice in these places, you will get twice the result with half the effort. But unfortunately, most of these places are too conspicuous or under the attention of the church, and are not suitable for practicing dark magic at all. Later, I hid my identity and joined a mercenary group mainly engaged in exploration and hunting, with the purpose of finding a suitable place to practice."
"Then you found the Sigh Valley, right?" Arthur couldn't help but interrupt and asked.
"No, there was no canyon here at that time. It was just a slightly raised hill and a shallow cave that we happened to encounter when we took a break halfway. I could feel the strong breath of dark magic. Because of my urgent desire for power, I violated the rules and used the forbidden technique of dark magic, 'Space Breaking Magic'."
"What was the result?"
The old magician smiled bitterly, "Didn't you see the result? I just wanted to punch a small hole to release some of the strong dark magic elements, but I didn't expect the dark magic over there to be too violent. The large amount of dark magic elements and light magic elements squeezed each other, breaking the balance of magic elements and causing a violent magic explosion."
"So the Sighing Canyon was exploded by magic?"
The old magician nodded, "The explosion, and the mutual squeezing of light and dark forces."
This completely shocked Arthur. How much power would it take to blow up such a large canyon!
"Then how did you survive the explosion?"
"The collision between magic elements will not harm life forms. I was lucky in disguise and jumped directly from an intermediate magician to a senior magician under the impact of a large amount of dark magic elements. But my companions in the mercenary group could not withstand the impact of dark magic, and their spirits were forever lost in the darkness."
Arthur now understood where those weirdos outside came from.
"Where are those Yuanjing?"
"That is the crystal formed by the accidental collision of dark magic elements and light magic elements and encountering crystal minerals. I didn't expect that the two magics could be fused and form the purest energy!"
"Did the Church of Light seal the canyon because they didn't want anyone to get the Yuanjing?" Arthur asked the last question.
The old magician laughed again, "Silly boy, of course not. The Church of Light is richer than the Empire, and they don't care about the Yuanjing no matter how valuable it is. The reason why the Sighing Canyon was sealed is because of the hole I opened with the 'Space Breaking Magic'. Because they dare not get close to the source, they can only seal it outside the canyon." The old magician pointed to the back of his chair.
At this moment, all the mysteries were solved. The assassination of Keynes and the mercenary group seemed to have nothing to do with the Sighing Valley. He was just attracted by the Yuanjing, and the sudden appearance of the church was attracted by the hole opened by Louis.
The appearance of the Sighing Valley was more like an accident.
"Master Louis, if you plan to leave, you can leave with us. We have friends outside who can open the seal." Arthur's words were very sincere this time.
"I can't leave here now. The rich and pure dark magic elements here are a paradise for our dark magicians to practice. In at most ten years, I will become a twelfth-level dark magician, and then the church will tremble in front of me. Child, you stay too. I will accept you as my magic apprentice and pass on all my magic to you." The old magician said with some emotion.
Arthur thought about it, "I can stay here with you, but can you let my friends leave? They will never tell anyone about what happened here."
The old magician's face gradually turned cold, "I warned you just now, don't trust anyone except the dark magician. I don't kill them myself, and letting them gradually lose themselves in the darkness is the greatest gift."
Arthur's face was full of disappointment, but he was helpless. He suddenly asked: "Master Louis, do you know Arnold?"
"Arnold?"
"His full name is Anoral, a dark magician of the same age as me."
The old magician frowned, but he had no impression of Arnold in his mind.
"Then do you know this thing? It was left by Arnold." Arthur took it out of his arms.
"What is it?" The old magician leaned forward to see what it was.
"It's this..." Arthur turned his wrist and a short knife flashed and pierced the old magician's heart.
Even a great magician could do nothing about a sudden attack after being close. The dagger was completely sunk, leaving only a wolf-head-shaped handle, which was the seventh-level dagger "Wolf Kiss Blue" seized by Arthur during his trip to the orc wilderness.
The old magician's face was full of astonishment and disbelief. He could never have imagined that Arthur, who was also a dark magician, would suddenly attack him.
"I'm sorry, I can't give up my friends." Arthur also felt a little guilty, because Louis was not actually a big evil, and those skeleton warriors and the weirdos who lost their souls outside were not killed by him.
"I didn't expect that even the dark magician couldn't believe it!" Regret, helplessness, and unwillingness intertwined on his face. He was stabbed in the heart by the seventh-level dagger, and he had reached the end of his life.
Louis suddenly smiled, "I really miss the explosion twelve years ago, let's do it again!"
Before dying, Louis reached out to his seat and performed the "space breaking magic" again.
"No!" Arthur rushed to the old magician.
It was too late. The violent dark magic elements rushed in, the whole earth was shaking, and an unprecedented huge explosion occurred...
