Riding and Slashing

Chapter 409 Continuous Dreamland

"Li Ang...how did you know...how did you know?!"

'Ales' stared at Li Ang with his eyes wide open, his expression a little frightened.

It seems that Li Ang guessed correctly, this is indeed Malbert.

He didn't deny it. Since Li Ang could say his name directly, there was no need to deny it.

"I'm guessing... It seems that the Dusk Knights' research on heresy is very fruitful, Malbert, when did you become an evil spirit?"

Li Ang looked at Wendy, pointed to Malbert, and signaled Wendy to stay by Malbert's side, lest this guy make any trouble.

In fact, Li Ang really guessed, but not by intuition, but by analysis.

First of all, Arles bought the slave girl from Singal, and the Twilight Knights used to be stationed in Singal.

The Twilight Knights have been researching heresy. Malbert is the head of the Twilight Knights. He is probably the person who knows the most about abyssal demons and gods besides Leon. If there are still people who can become evil spirits and occupy Someone else's body, then Malbert must be the most suspected one.

In addition, before Li Ang stabbed Malbert to death in front of Alistair, he had asked 'Who is willing to take the Dusk Knights to the New Dawn? He agreed for a while—that person is the most risk-averse person, but at that time he actually hesitated...

It wouldn't mean that after being castrated, even the brain would be castrated, right?
At that time, Li Ang was busy dealing with Kavala, so he didn't go any further, but Li Ang would naturally be concerned about such an obvious difference—especially before that, Li Ang had just seen Egrem and the Three Prophets controlling other people's bodies. Ben had always wondered if the Malbert he stabbed to death was himself.

In addition, Allers has been in charge of the intelligence distribution of the secret espionage organization 'Viper', and has to contact professional espionage personnel every day.

These spies are very observant, and it is difficult to hide them. To play Allers well, one cannot do without excellent acting skills.

Only Malbert, the film king, can make it impossible for so many spies from the Viper Organization to see through him.

In addition, Ales said that he was going to castrate Li Ang...

Therefore, Li Ang can judge that it is Malbert's soul that occupies Arles' body. Malbert has enmity with himself and Alina, and he is the only one who can't wait to kill himself and Alina. , and only he would bring up things like castration when facing Alina.

"Ha... evil spirit? Isn't you an evil spirit too? Li Ang, you can fool everyone, but you can't fool me. You are just a lonely ghost who has occupied someone else's body!"

Malbert's psychological quality is still very good, and the shock on his face gradually faded after just a few words.

Probably because he knew he couldn't run away, he didn't make any resistance, but instead sneered at Li Ang.

"Oh? You even know this... Since everyone is of the same kind, why don't you just tell me the truth, how did you hook up with Kavala? Does Kavala have any other plans?"

Li Ang curled his lips. Since Malbert knew this, it must have something to do with Kavala—only Kavala knew that Li Ang was summoned by the goddess of order, Eunomia.

"You are also an evil spirit, but you are still so unscrupulous..."

Malbert froze, looked at Li Ang who didn't care, then at Wendy beside him, then at Brutus and the others.

Li Ang and Wendy were curling their lips, Brutus was rolling his eyes, Elena showed a mocking look, and Alina was weeping—the people present didn't seem to care much about the fact that Li Ang was an evil spirit.

Malbert was a little puzzled, why did this happen?

Has everyone been brainwashed by Leon?

Li Ang didn't intend to hide it?
Why is everyone completely indifferent to this truth?
"Oh, that's fine, that's fine, I'm also an evil spirit, let me admit it... I'm asking you something, can you give me an answer anyway? Maybe I can help you..."

Li Ang sighed, of course he didn't need to hide anything.

As the most active person in the entire continent against the abyssal demons, Li Ang took the initiative to strike himself with lightning in order to deal with Egrem. In order to save the various knights, he even rushed into the sea of ​​undead alone with the big bomb Aziz Dahaka .

With these deeds in front, even if Li Ang himself publicly said that he is an evil spirit, I am afraid that everyone will just laugh and say, 'Your Majesty, you are joking again'...

Besides, he wasn't a ghost now—Azie Dahaka had made him a real human being.

Li Ang looked at Malbert quietly, but Malbert didn't answer.

He just kept looking left and right, probably a little suspicious of life, and he didn't speak all the time.

Seeing that he didn't cooperate, Li Ang simply ignored him, turned to Alina and said, "Alina, I'm sorry, we have to burn him...you have to mourn."

Alina wiped away the tears on her face, and nodded lightly: "I know."

Li Ang waved to Wendy, then turned around to leave here.

Wendy pushed behind Malbert, ready to escort him out.

"Wait! Li Ang! Don't you want to know Kavala's plan?!"

Seeing that Li Ang seemed to be planning to burn his own body, Malbert became anxious.

With Wendy present, he couldn't use any spells. Now that he was bound again, he naturally couldn't get out of this body. If he didn't save himself, he would be wiped out.

"What plan? It's nothing more than finding a few more guys like you to harm me? Does it matter if you know? As long as the Snake Cult is destroyed, everything will be over..."

Li Ang said with a blank face.

"No! No... Li Ang, you will face an unimaginably terrible fate... You can't kill me!"

Wendy kept pushing and shoving behind him, and Malbert struggled, seeing no one was paying attention, he said the most life-saving words: "Don't push me...Ales is not dead!!"

"what?!"

Li Ang and Alina's eyes widened at the same time.

"You can look at me..."

Malbert turned to face Li Ang, apparently wanting someone to examine him.

Brutus gestured to Li Ang, and seeing Li Ang nodding, he walked to Malbert, untied the rope, and began to pick off the clothes on Malbert—that is, Arles.

None of the girls backed away, they were not stupid women, they knew that Brutus wanted to check whether Alos was injured.

Soon, Alles was stripped down to a pair of underwear, and Brutus even peeked into the underwear, and then nodded to Li Ang: "There is no wound, there is breathing and heartbeat."

Alina wiped away the tears and smiled.

"It seems that Ah Les is indeed not dead...but... since Ah Les is still alive, how can you control his body?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, and looked at the shirtless Ales again.

"I just lied to his soul that he was alive... and he didn't even know I existed. During the day he would manipulate the body, but at night, when he was asleep, I would take over control of the body Quan...I will let him have a good dream and wake up at dawn."

Malbert replied: "I didn't kill him, and I don't have the ability. I'm not an evil spirit, I just know some spells to deceive souls... Leon, I just want to live."

"A spell to deceive souls? Like what you cast on me just now? But if you're not an evil spirit, how can you use such a spell?"

Alina cut in.

"That's 'Soul Temptation', a small spell that allows people to immerse themselves in their sweet dreams. It's the research result of the Dusk Knights. Of course, this is indeed a spell used by the demons of the abyss to attract followers...but I It was only after becoming a spirit body that I realized that only a spirit body can use such a spell."

Malbert didn't hide anything, and confessed honestly.

Li Ang knew that Malbert was not lying. He himself had been affected by Egrem's soul spell. He knew that it was a temptation based on one's own desire. It was not so much a spell as an illusion.

The Chosen One who has signed a soul contract with the gods will not be able to linger after death—just like Martis, the soul is sold to the gods, and it no longer belongs to him, so he will not die with his body And dissipate.

Coupled with the fact that the Twilight Knights already have a good understanding of the abilities of the Abyssal Demon and the Three Prophets, it is not surprising that Malbert knows a little soul magic.

You can't use spells while you're alive, and you can only use them after you become a spirit body, but they can't cause substantial harm to people, and can only interfere with and seduce people's souls. This is indeed the ability of an envoy like the Three Prophets.

Li Ang felt that Malbert should be Kavala's contractor.

"So...you signed a soul contract with Kavala, so you can keep your soul alive after death?"

Li Ang looked at Malbert and shook his head: "When did Kavala target you? He didn't completely control you... It seems that the contract he signed with you seems to be fair?"

Malbert sighed, and looked at Li Ang with a complicated face: "Kavala did look for me, but I haven't signed any contract with Kavala...I will not sell my soul..."

To be honest, Malbert's experience is actually quite miraculous.

He first met Kavala a few years ago.

Basically when Li Ang first met Wendy.

At that time, Ulrik was seriously ill, and Malbert was designated as the heir by Ulrik, and he served as the imperial bartender and clerk.

Ulrik almost never organizes an imperial meeting, so Malbert always works in the Throne Hall—his position, above his head is the relief of Kavala.

At that time, Malbert actually had a good chance of becoming king—if Ulrik had died suddenly.

In fact, Malbert really thought so too...

Malbert dreamed of Kavala for the first time since he was designated as the heir.

What Kavala asked Malbert at that time was... Do you want to be a king?

Malbert knew who Kavala was, and he really wanted to be king, but he didn't feel that a dream would bring him much at the time, and he didn't think he needed much help - he became a king at a young age. Grandmaster of the Twilight Knights, Prince Alanric is not worthy of being his opponent at all.

As long as Ulrik is dead, relying on the strength of Duke Brennus and the Twilight Knights, he can handle everything by himself.

So he rejected Kavala at the time.

But since then, Malbert has dreamed every day, and the dreams he has every day can be continuous.

What he dreamed was what happened in the palace, and Malbert could judge that it should all be real.

After dreaming about several episodes of the series in a row, Malbert knew a lot of things.

On the first night, he dreamed about the reason why the mad king went mad - the mad king drank the elixir, which is the water of the River Styx, of course, it may have been diluted.

It was the Mad King himself who was seeking the elixir...he wanted to live forever.

Then someone took the medicine in exchange for Dragon Tears, but Malbert didn't know the person who sold the medicine.

On the second night, Malbert dreamed of the death of the mad king - the mad king drank the blood of the elves.

At first, Malbert didn't know why the mad king drank blood. He thought that the mad king wanted to save his madness, or to gain longevity——elves have a long lifespan, and most people would think that Elven blood may have the magical power of immortality...

But after drinking the blood of the elf, the Mad King began to vomit non-stop, and then died violently in the toilet-it looked like he was drunk and suffocated in the toilet.

But in fact, the Mad King didn't drink at all that night, and the huge wine glass contained elf blood.

Moreover, when the mad king fell, Malbert clearly saw that a gem was slowly spit out from the mad king's mouth, and he seemed to be awake all the time.

Only then did Malbert know that the Mad King committed suicide.

He drank the elven blood, not only to seek death, but also to activate that gemstone?
Malbert guessed this way, because he felt that a weak person might not be able to withstand the magic power in the elf blood, just like drinking too much alcohol would kill a person, drinking too much elf blood should also lead to death.

On the third night, Malbert dreamed of the jewel.

A blue gem, inside which there is a black shadow that has been baring its teeth and claws.

The jewel floats among three women whose faces cannot be seen clearly, and appears to be casting a spell.

Malbert was also well-informed, he knew that it should be Dragon's Tears, and when he saw the black shadow in Dragon's Tears, he intuitively believed that it was the soul of the Mad King.

Did the Mad King seek the help of the Three Prophets and save his soul with Dragon Tears?
He guessed right.

On the fourth night Malbert dreamed of a prison.

In the prison, three women who couldn't see their faces gave the dragon's tear to King Ulrik in exchange for their freedom.

Soon after, Ulrik began to go crazy from time to time, and gradually became weaker.

This series of dreams made Malbert understand that this might be a reminder from Kavala to himself.

He knew that Kavala had probably become a god, and perhaps he really shouldn't reject Kavala...

However, for the next period of time, he did not dream of Kavala.

The things shown in these dreams are very obvious, and most of them are true. Malbert knew the reason for Ulrik's illness - it was haunted by evil spirits, and he was haunted by the mad king...

Malbert had learned about these things in the Twilight Knights, and he could guess what the Mad King was going to do.

Maybe the mad king has cooperated with the three prophets long ago, and wants to possess his soul to the next generation of kings?
It's just that the three prophets didn't give Ulrik the dragon's tear until after they were captured and imprisoned.

Of course Malbert didn't want the mad king to succeed, otherwise who knows what a mad king would do...

But of course Malbert won't save Ulrik either...

On the contrary, he hoped that Ulrik would belch as soon as possible - he was Ulrik's designated successor at the time.

So Malbert also went to the three prophets to cooperate.

He asked the three prophets to tell Ulrik that the 'blood of the elves' could cure his madness-that is, the blood of the noble maidens of the elves.

At the same time, he conspired with the three prophets to get the seal of the king.

He also deliberately asked his own father Brennus to exhaust King Ulrik's army.

But this series of things all failed...

Ulrik did drink elven blood, but the more he drank it, the more energetic he became, and later even suppressed his madness——the elven blood actually caused the mad king's soul to gradually dissipate!
And the three prophets didn't know why, but they left him and cooperated with Ulrik instead.

At the same time, Li Ang messed up the king's seal, and dealt with the army of the Ravencrow Kingdom and the Jatu people at Eagle Claw Fort, and Ulrik's pro-army also saved a lot.

Ulrik, who had recovered, still had Malbert as the clerk, but he seemed to have other ideas...

At this time, Malbert dreamed of Kavala again.
