Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 631 The Moonlight in My Heart

After passing a teleportation array, we arrived at the boundary deep in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range.

Hidden here is another secret belonging to Imric, but it is not the secret of hiding in the golden house, but the coveting of Lilith, or Bretonnia.

More than ten adventure knights were lying on the bed, cut with inferior glass with bubbles. This isolation was only a formal research zone and had no security significance.

"My King, your coming has dispelled the coldness of this place a little." The doll with four limbs and arms chanted softly. The snow-white coat flowed as it walked. The petite body did not conceal the unique confidence. Even though this place is simple, In this aura, it seems to have become a royal palace.

"It seems that you are still angry and actually manipulated the puppet to come to see me."

Imrik had a good idea of ​​dealing with tsundere, which was to point out directly why he did what he did.

"You put Witch Lani to shame." The doll snorted coldly. It seemed a little angry and walked to the bench cushioned with a few books. He climbed up on his hands and feet and sat firmly. Afterwards, he smoothed the folds of his coat and put the books on Cover the edges and corners.

After completing the ritual work, Lani stared at the few exploration knights who were still sleeping, and manipulated the dream with her fingers.

Melina did not interrupt, but pulled Imrik's sleeve and whispered, it will be fine in a moment.

After a while, Lani stopped the movement of her four palms and intertwined them in front of her belly. She did not continue to act arrogantly.

"Most of the invited knights are heroic people, but only one possesses the five virtues of compassion, generosity, wisdom, honor, and bravery, and has accomplished many feats."

She pointed at a young knight with messy hair and a sloppy beard who was lying peacefully on a wooden bed. Judging from his age, he should be no more than 30 years old.

Imrik looked at the person he was referring to and quickly remembered the relevant information.

Oed Capet, a knight who voluntarily gave up his title to his younger brother. In order to prevent his younger brother from being driven out of the territory, he became a chivalrous knight who relied on the presence of an earl or a duke, or he was forced to embark on a journey to seek the Holy Grail just after completing his training. journey.

This 22-year-old knight of the kingdom voluntarily gave up his status as a baron and traveled from Artois to the southern kingdom. Ten years passed in a flash.

In the end, he was captured by Felice's people from the old world and secretly sent to Caledor. It was probably five years since he last opened his eyes.

The youthful appearance should be the result of magic. The extremely slow metabolism slows down the aging process.

"He completed all the trials in his dream?"

To be honest, Imric was a little surprised. The manuscript of this dream spell came from the Dream Hall of Wyrmrest Temple. It was improved by analyzing the original manuscript, although it is definitely not as effective as the original.

But in order to fill in the process, a large number of monsters are modeled based on their own experiences.

Those who are tested will personally face those unusually powerful people, or strange moral choices. The deformed tram problem at the beginning is enough to give a brainless human knight a headache.

Lani nodded and said yes, and was a little unbelievable when she explained, "In the problem of the monster cage, he did not choose a side, jumped off the high bridge without hesitation, and stood in the path of the innocent."

The transformation tram problem roughly means that there are two roads, and a carriage holding the horned bull of Khorne is out of control.

The original road is a place with many people. A magic device can allow the carriage to change the route to a place with fewer people.The trialist will face a choice, whether to save a group of old and frail wanderers or two noble ladies in gorgeous clothes.

This was originally a prank that Imric made because he was bored and wanted to test the moral psychology of Grandpa Baator. He didn't expect that someone would jump off it without fear of death. It was a hundred-meter-high bridge. If it hit the rocky road, it would be the Holy Grail. Grandpa also had to hesitate for a while.

An edited dream process entered Imrik's mind from Lani's fingertips. After leaving the junction, she discovered that her king had no magical talent at all and relied on Minas Nir to pretend to be a magic expert. , it is better to explain as quickly as possible.

Imrik's expression became even weirder. Looking at the humble-looking adventure knight, he felt as disgusted as eating a green skin. It wasn't because of his bad actions.On the contrary, his behavior is simply a model for the world. The theme of this dream trial is called Princess Revenge.

A small country was tortured by Chaos followers, and the capital was reduced to a sea of ​​fire. The only remaining five-year-old princess was imprisoned on the throne by the Lezi of Slaanesh, waiting to starve to death.

She cried constantly because of sadness and hunger, and was nicknamed the Crying Queen when she was only five years old.

Erd came to the royal capital with the best sword in the village, gave water and food to the queen, and regretted that he came too late.

He knelt before the Queen, willing to pledge his life to protect the Queen's safety. If he informed the Chaos believers of the news, he would definitely take revenge on them in the name of sword and glory.

A very old-fashioned revenge story, but the experiences along the way are not simple. Khorne's version of Diavolo, Tzeentch's version of Mephisto, Nurgle's version of Duriel, Slaanesh's version of Malenina, even though the true ability is far away It's not as good as what Imrik encountered, it's a weakened version.

But it seems impossible for an adventure knight to complete the level.

But Erd did it. Along the way, he guessed the language trap of the big toad, found the direction to move forward, and gave a large amount of gold and jewelry rewarded by the Elf Prince to the civilians who encountered famine. After five years of searching, he used the best in the village to The sword cuts off the demon prince's head.

Finally, he dragged his scarred body to the Weeping Queen to show that his promise had been fulfilled. He inserted the sword in front of the throne to show that no one could step past this weapon, and then continued on his journey to find the Holy Grail.

The reason for the bad mood is that this Bretonnian is like a perfect template. Even if you look at the history of elves, it is difficult to find a character who can match him in appearance.

There is only one chance to try this dream. If the tester fails, he will become a brain-dead vegetative state. This shows that Erd is a ruthless person who can clear the level in one life, and a knight with five virtues.

Rubbing his chin, Imric wondered if he could take the next step, "Can your power be simulated as Lilith's divine power and seal him a Holy Grail."

"It's difficult." Lani held her chin and stared at the sleeping knight, her eyes thoughtful.

What she sees now is a person who was cultivated by simulation, and his experience is completely controlled and shaped by herself.

Give the knights you trained to Lilith as a licking dog in the blink of an eye?Drinking foot-washing water does not seem to be in line with Princess Kalia's ideas.

Imric, who did not expect the trial to be successful, found a chair and sat down. He stared at the knight closely and thought about his next plan. The kidnapping of the expedition knight was originally planned to be carried out as a project to usurp the throne of God. Watch the Bretonnians Can you accept Lani's power of the dark moon?

The process went smoothly, but after obtaining Mazov's soul, the plan actually ran aground. The remaining divine power in the villain's soul was far more valuable than this dream trial.

At least in a short period of time, once the power of the Lake Goddess in the body of the Holy Grail Grandpa is erased, Lilith cannot control it. After these Grail Grandpas who only have faith in Lilith die, the next batch can be fabricated according to the expected ideas. .

After pondering for a moment, I suddenly had an idea.

"Send it to Lustria to let Master Ke seal the relevant memories, find a hydra as a bait and send it to Erd. Lilith will definitely notice the changes in him, and with her ability, she cannot undo the trap set by Master Ke. Memory blocking net. Then there are only two options, let Erd continue the path of the adventure knight and wander in the uncontrolled new world. Or risk angering the lizard people and give him the Holy Grail, let him return to Bretonnia, and get Understand what happened in the five years since the knight disappeared."

"If it's the former, he will accept the guidance of the moonlight in his heart and get everything he deserves, and become a Kalia Knight."

"But if it's the latter, the fierce reaction between Lilith's divine power and Master Ke's magic will make memories emerge bit by bit. He needs to know that the trial of the Holy Grail can be completed by Lilith's ideas, not the efforts of a knight. , in those countless times of confusion and struggle, where does the moonlight that guides the way come from? He will become a seed of doubt, to ask whether the trial passed down for thousands of years is reasonable, to explore the gap between the two moonlights. difference."

Imrik looked at Lani, and regardless of her slightly angry expression, he handed over the knight he had trained for a long time.
"Whether it is the dreamy moon that satisfies imagination, or the cold and abnormal but real dark moon, I believe we will eventually get an answer. But no matter what the result is, the goal has been achieved, a perfect person comparable to St. Giles The knight begins to doubt his faith, breaks through the lies spun out of fantasy and dreams, and plunges into the cold, obscure light of truth.”

"Our plan cannot be completed in one step, this will be a beginning. Prepare a spell to awaken Oed Cape, and I will send him to Anaheim."
