Riding and Slashing

Chapter 410 You Shouldn't Control Him

The second time Malbert met Kavala in his dream was when Li Ang just got Changhe Town.

At that time Malbert once again faced the opportunity to become a 'chosen one'.

"At that time he told me that if I was willing to sign a soul contract with him, he would make me the king of the entire continent..."

Malbert said with some regret: "But I still refused."

"Rejected? Why? Faced with the temptation to become the king of the continent, you can still resist it. It's really admirable..."

Li Ang really admired Malbert, he dreamed of Kavala twice, but he didn't cooperate with Kavala twice - you know, Kavala was a hero who unified the mainland and ended the troubled times in the eyes of most people at that time The character is the god of undefeated knights, not some monsters and ghosts.

"I don't have such a good concentration, I just know what it takes to become a God's Chosen. The Dusk Knights have been studying these things..."

Malbert shook his head and smiled: "I know that the Three Prophets are the chosen ones of Eredar, and I know that the Three Prophets were originally just a woman, but in order to escape God's control, she split into three personalities... …I don’t want to be schizophrenic. Moreover, at that time, I thought Kavala was just a lingering former king. After all, he only appeared in my dreams. At that time, I thought he had no ability. Dream……"

Li Ang was dumb, but still gave a thumbs up: "Even so, your concentration is already stronger than most people."

"Yeah, anyway, I'm better than those fools in the Bacchus Empire... They can't even resist the temptation of the priestess of the Snake Cult."

Malbert sighed as he spoke: "You know most of what happened next. The Bacchus Empire fell into chaos, the Red Death spread rapidly, and the Snake Cult invaded... But I didn't realize at that time that the Snake Cult Also related to Kavala..."

Li Ang nodded, and Li Ang also didn't realize this at the time.

Malbert went on to tell what happened next.

After rejecting Kavala for the second time, Malbert developed some inexplicable self-confidence—he felt that Kavala approached him twice, which probably meant that he was the legendary son of prophecy...

It's no wonder that Malbert thinks so. Anyone who is dreamed twice by a god to make him a king will probably feel that he is the chosen one.

So Malbert was full of confidence in the future, and he once again cooperated with the Three Prophets in an attempt to overthrow the Sarleon Kingdom—making Anna a princess and entering the House of Nobles, which was Malbert's idea for the Three Prophets.

But this cooperation is actually a plan to drive away tigers and wolves, because Malbert knows that the House of Nobles is the Tower of Forbidden Demons.

His original intention was to let Anna kill Ulrik, and then he killed the three prophets in one fell swoop in the Forbidden Tower, and then he inherited the throne logically.

For this plan to drive away tigers and wolves, he also arranged people around all Ulrik's heirs, such as Prince Alanric, Princess Denise, Ms. Felina, and Felina's son Andrew, Daughter Amy and more.

As long as Ulrik is dead, the people he arranges will either kill these heirs or frame them as heretics.

But what I didn't expect was that Anna didn't do anything in the Noble House, but got pregnant instead, and even threatened him as a princess!

Malbert knew at the time that Anna must be a fake pregnancy, but the appearance of the Three Prophets made him very passive. Of course, he knew that Ulrik would definitely prefer the unborn biological child...

He had no choice but to pretend to cooperate with the three prophets to procrastinate, while strengthening his strength to look for opportunities.

At that time, Brennus had been saving his strength, and it was also for this reason.

At this time, Li Ang killed the army of Snake Worshipers, found a solution to the Red Death, and returned to Changhe Town.

At this time, Malbert started to play Li Ang's idea. At that time, Li Ang's strength did not seem too strong on the surface, but Li Ang had defeated the three prophets. Malbert felt that there was actually room for cooperation between himself and Li Ang.

Besides, Li Ang has been unintentionally sabotaging his plan, and the relationship with Amy's family is too good. If Malbert wants to succeed as king, he must first win over Li Ang.

Yes, Malbert really thought so at the time. He was a person who was always confident in himself, and he did have a basis for cooperation with Li Ang at that time - the casinos and entertainment venues in Cliff Bay were all transferred by Li Ang for him.

Moreover, the Malbert family did have the strength to suppress Li Ang - at that time, except for the eastern region of the Sarleon Kingdom, it could be said that most of the troops in the country belonged to their family.

At that time, Ulrik was basically bankrupt, and the newly recruited army and the D'Shar suffered losses, but Cliff Bay had never suffered any losses, and had always been stockpiling troops, horses, money and food.

In addition, Brennus controlled the Knights of the Lion; Malbert controlled the Knights of the Twilight—with the strength of their family, most of the direct rebellion would be successful at that time, but after all, he and his father were Ur Rick's vassal, he doesn't want to bear the infamy of rebellion, it's very troublesome.

If Li Ang could be controlled, Malbert and his son would control the entire Sarleon Kingdom. No matter what kind of mess King Ulrik and the Three Prophets would do, they could only pass on the throne to him in the end.

So taking advantage of Li Ang's attack on Desia, Malbert asked Alistair to take the Twilight Knights to attack, intending to capture Li Ang first.

It's a pity that Alistair didn't succeed. The arrest plan was about to succeed, but it was disrupted by a small person who appeared unexpectedly——Ediz.

The arrest was unsuccessful, but Li Ang used Alistair to create a rift, which caused problems in the cooperation between Malbert and the Three Prophets, and led to Malbert being dispatched to the Sava River Castle.

Afterwards, Li Ang also framed Malbert with the trophy of Toba City, causing Malbert to lose Ulrik's trust...

Malbert knew Ulrik's temperament, so he had no choice but to make two-handed preparations and started to think about the Bacchus Empire.

He went to ask Governor Justus to marry him, and tried to marry Alina as his wife-he was a smart man after all. After Singal's auction, he knew that the two sons of Emperor Marius were cooperating with Alina, so It was immediately analyzed that Arina might be the heir in Emperor Mario's mind.

This kind of marriage skills can keep him and make their family more powerful, which was originally a good countermeasure.

In fact, Malbert and Alina were indeed well matched—the son of the duke and the daughter of the governor, plus both were adopted sons of the monarch, they were equal in terms of family background and identity.

And at that time, the two countries needed a bridge for armistice and cooperation;

In addition, one is a handsome talented man, and the other is a beautiful and talented woman-it is simply a match made in heaven, and it couldn't be more suitable.

Of course Justus was very happy. In the opinion of any parent, Malbert was the most suitable candidate in the entire continent at that time.

But I didn't expect that this matter was disturbed by Li Ang again - Alina was 'kidnapped' by Li Ang...

Now Malbert regarded Leon as the biggest obstacle, he sent someone to kill the neglected Prince Alanric, framed Amy as a heretic, and asked the three prophets to persuade Ulrik to give Leon the king Order, let Leon crusade against Amy and Godric.

If there is nothing wrong with this plan, Li Ang will inevitably fall into a dilemma - if he does not attack Amy, Li Ang will become a rebel; if he follows the king's order to attack Amy, Li Ang will be stabbed in the back and lose most people support.

No matter what the final result is, Leon will definitely regard Ulrik and Princess Anna as enemies, and will take the initiative to cooperate with Malbert and Brennus—so at that time Malbert said with confidence that Leon would take the initiative Put yourself under his command.

Unexpectedly, this time, before Malbert had time to say anything, he was framed by Li Ang again - Li Ang refused to accept the king's order at all, and even framed Malbert to assassinate himself.

To be honest, the blows and lessons Malbert received at that time were unprecedented - as a person who is best at acting and planting, he was actually acted by Li Ang, and was planted by Li Ang many times... He never won in front of Li Ang Pass!
Later, he was handed over to Alina by Li Ang. In order to prove Malbert's crime, Li Ang asked Alina to take Malbert to Siyuan City, and declared that Malbert had surrendered as a traitor.

It is impossible for Emperor Marius to let Alina marry a surrendered general, and the problem of urging marriage that Alina faced can also be resolved together—Arina asked Brutus to castrate Marber according to Li Ang's suggestion. special.

After all, the crime Li Ang wove for Malbert at that time was that Malbert, a handsome and sentimental knight, assassinated Leon in order to save Alina who was kidnapped by Li Ang, but unfortunately the attempted assassination was thrown into prison.Then he and Alina successfully escaped from prison, and chased this beauty all the way to the Bacchus Empire, and finally betrayed the country because of love...

Under the background of this story, if Alina did not castrate Malbert, I am afraid that a decent person like Justus would really let Alina marry him—this is the benefactor who saved his daughter.

Alina started from Changhe Town, and to go to Siyuan City, she had to pass through Boshi City first.

When they arrived near Boshi City, Alina went to report to Justus that she was safe, but she didn't bring Malbert with her, lest there would be too much trouble, so Alina brought Malbert to Boshi City first. A small town nearby - Ahuun.

This is the stronghold of the Viper Spies and the residence of her brother Arles.

Bringing people here was originally just to stay for one night temporarily.

Ales is a gentle person, and he has no ill feeling towards Malbert - Malbert easily used his superb acting skills to make Ales think that he is a poor man who has been framed...

In Ales' view, Malbert was only framed by Li Ang, and he himself did nothing wrong—from the standpoint of the Bacchus, Malbert did nothing wrong...

So, Alles kindly asked his wife who had been a slave to treat Malbert's injuries—his wife knew a little bit of medical skills, and usually healed some minor injuries for the poisonous snake spies.

But this rule, there is a problem...

Ales' slave wife from Singal knew Malbert.

Not only did she know each other, but Malbert's Twilight Knights were the enemies that caused her to become a slave—her hometown was plundered by the Twilight Knights, and then sold as a slave.

At that time, the Twilight Knights were trying to clean up the Snake Worshipers, but under the order of Malbert, they indiscriminately cleared out all the people in a village-at that time, the Twilight Knights often used this method to raise military expenses , different from the Dawn Knights, they are doing bad things aboveboard, and they didn't make any excuses...

Of course, some of the villagers were not wronged, just like Ales' wife, before she became a slave, she was indeed a member of the Snake Cult.

Moreover, she is not just a believer...

Of course Malbert had long forgotten about this ordinary little slave.

"I was stunned by the snake heart stone at that time. When I woke up, I was already in a secret room...or in an ice cellar."

Malbert said with a wry smile: "But Ah Les' wife didn't kill me, but used me to perform a ritual..."

"What kind of ceremony? Nailing you to an altar? But it's not right...Alina later brought you back to Changhe Town, and you were still alive at that time!"

Li Ang was puzzled.

"Bring me back to Changhe Town? That should not be me anymore... Or, it's just my body..."

Malbert looked at Alina, then at Li Ang: "Actually, I was already dead in that ice cellar."

"How could it be?! In front of Alistair, you were breathing and your heart was beating..."

Li Ang frowned: "But you did not speak at that time, I thought it was a bit strange at that time."

"Because that's not me... that's the slave woman."

Malbert shook his head and smiled sadly: "In my dream, I saw the mad king save his soul with dragon tears, and I also saw the mad king's soul trying to take Ulrik's body, but I didn't expect that I would also going through the same thing..."

The ceremony that Malbert experienced was quite simple. Instead of being nailed to the altar, he was thrown in front of a statue.

There is a strange law code on the statue.

It was a very simple spellcasting, but it was not Arles' wife who cast the spell, but the code on the statue.

Malbert felt that he seemed to be being pulled by some force, the pulling feeling from the depths of his soul.

Malbert, who had learned a lot of soul spells, realized that this was probably to seal his soul into the code.

But Malbert, who had seen the operation of the Mad King, found a hidden gem from the interlayer of his underwear at the most critical moment—Dragon Tears!
As a result, Malbert's soul was indeed ripped out of his body, but instead of entering the Codex, he entered Dragon Tears.

At this time, the casting of the spell was not over yet, and as a result, the woman's soul was also pulled out by the code and entered Malbert's body.

It was a spellcasting accident.

——So Malbert became a lonely soul, sealed in Dragon Tears; the woman's soul occupied Malbert's body, but she herself became a corpse...

The woman's soul seemed to be particularly weak, because she couldn't move normally after occupying Malbert's body, and she looked a little stupid.

It was at this moment that the peculiar statue spoke to Malbert.

"That statue is Kavala...I can hear his voice. But this time, Kavala didn't say anything like a king. He directly gave me a promise. He said that as long as I serve him from now on, He can really bring me back to life.”

Malbert looked at Li Ang: "He wanted to sign a soul contract with me, and let me enter that code... He wanted me to go to a small island, and he said that I could get the power of God there - he said that as long as I If your soul enters the code, you will naturally know where the island is."

"Shouldn't you promise him?"

Li Ang frowned.

"No, this time I agree."

Malbert sighed: "But I always seem to be very unlucky. Just as I promised, before I could do anything, Arles found the ice cellar..."

Wait... Malbert agreed?

Li Ang didn't speak, but he realized that Malbert was in a spirit state at that time, and Kavala should have been in the temple at that time, communicating with Malbert through a statue—that is to say, both were in a spirit state.

In this case, as long as you agree, it means that the soul contract has been signed...

"Then, what did you do to Alos?"

Li Ang didn't show any emotion, but he gave Wendy a look.

Wendy put her hand on Malbert's shoulder.

"I didn't do anything to him. After I became a spirit body, I used soul magic to trick him, let him have a dream, and stayed in the dream... This allows me to share the same body with him."

Malbert didn't resist, and was still answering, with a bit of sarcasm on his face: "And this dream can make him forget that woman's death, because what Ales wants most is to marry his sister...Ah Linna, that female slave is just an excuse used by Ales to avoid such ungodly thoughts, he actually likes you..."

Alina frowned and didn't speak.

Li Ang sighed and said nothing.

In fact, it is not surprising that a brother likes a younger sister, especially for aristocratic families.Besides, Ahlers was already a very decent man to avoid the matter by using a female slave as an excuse.

"So... that code, where is it now?"

Li Ang has now confirmed that Malbert's words are nine truths and one falsehood, the actor is lying to himself.

And... What Malbert said was a little bit wrong. It felt like Malbert originally designed a very complete script, but the director temporarily changed the content in the middle of the performance?

So Li Ang deliberately changed the subject.

"The Codex is still in the ice cellar of Allers."

Malbert looked at Li Ang: "Do you want to go and see?"

"Of course I'm going... But there must be no codes there, right? It's not like your style to spend so much effort just to trick me into an ice cellar... Kavala, in fact, Malbert's deception skills are far superior More than you, he originally designed a scene that would definitely fool me, you really shouldn't just step in and control him—you're too impatient, Kavala."

Li Ang looked at Malbert and laughed: "Your soul contract can indeed completely control people, but you have controlled two people you shouldn't control...Maltis and Malbert, they each have their own powerful strengths. Abilities, but because of your control, they can't display their original abilities..."
