Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 581: You Deceive Me, I Deceive You, The Locke Mountains Smile Merrily

Falcon Capital had now turned into an underwater world.

The nearly eighty-meter-deep floodwaters had even submerged a Level 4 Mage Tower here.

But in reality, at this very moment, Falcon Capital was more like a world of ice and snow. Terrifying Frost Mana had frozen the area within a twenty-li radius into a massive Ice Block.

That's right, this Level 4 Mage Tower inside Falcon Capital was an exclusive Frost Mage Tower.

Over the past eight years, in order to resist The Great Frost, who knows how much Frost Mana it had absorbed. Now, you Neanderthals want to mess around with Nature Magic? Want to play an Open Scheme? Play your Open Scheme, then! Others weren't fools either!

Therefore, from the start of the war until now, the defense of Falcon Capital had been as steady as Mount Tai.

With Jiang Xinran, this Fourth-Circle Legendary Mage, holding down the fort, supplemented by a Level 4 Mage Tower, it was indeed impregnable.

However, the Ni People Army had successively annihilated Duke Kaidel and the Maclay Legion. Now, the main army was rapidly approaching. Under the current circumstances of favorable timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony, it seemed Falcon Capital also wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

But at this moment, Falcon Karl finally revealed a relieved smile. Everything was ready.

Subsequently, he routinely activated and released a Six-Star Sky-Veiling Card over the entirety of Falcon City. Only then did he take his daughter Anna, along with a mysterious person wearing a black cloak, and stride into the Level 4 Mage Tower.Here, the Fourth-Circle Legendary Mage Jiang Xinran was sitting there with a weary face. Over these past few days, she had indeed given her all, working diligently and conscientiously, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"Karl, you're here. You saw the previous Global Proclamation, right? I feel that continuing like this isn't a solution. Once the Neanderthals' main army gathers, we won't be able to hold them off."

Hearing this, Falcon Karl nodded. "I know, so I brought you two helpers. With three Fourth-Tier Mages taking turns holding down the fort, the problem shouldn't be big."

"What did you say?"

Jiang Xinran was stunned for a second. Her gaze immediately fell on Anna and that mysterious person. She then smiled wearily, "Karl, Anna won't do. It's not that easy for her to promote to the fourth tier. As for this person, I am quite curious."

"Curious? Madam Jiang Xinran, we are old acquaintances."

A cheerful laugh came from within the cloak. The next moment, that mysterious person lifted the magic cloak, revealing a face that was indeed very familiar—Mountain Eagle Parker. A fellow who should have completely gone mad a long time ago, and moreover, a fellow who had been personally hammered down and imprisoned by Falcon Karl himself.

The biological brother of someone who, in theory, was Falcon Karl's biggest rival.

But at this moment, not only was his expression calm and his gaze composed, his entire aura was also completely different. This was absolutely not the appearance of someone who had gone mad.

Jiang Xinran was stunned, her gaze flashing continuously. It finally landed on the calmly faced Falcon Karl. As smart as she was, she finally realized that something was wrong.

"Karl..."

"I'll give you a chance to thoroughly swear Loyalty to me, and I can spare your life."

Falcon Karl spoke indifferently. In his hand appeared a mysterious black card. The black vortex on it was like a black hole, capable of devouring everything.

Upon seeing this black card, Jiang Xinran's expression changed several times, but in the end, she still let out a cold sneer. "Karl, you father and son really can endure. What a good scheme indeed. I don't understand; even if it's like this and you defeat His Majesty William, what can you get? In the end, you'll only end up with the fate of the Sima family."

"Not to mention, His Majesty William has calculated everything. He deliberately wanted to force you to rebel, and even swore an oath facing Luo Mountain. How laughable! Stop talking nonsense. Even if you brothers just put on a show of self-injury, even if Anna next promotes to a Fourth-Tier Mage, even if Parker has also promoted to a Fourth-Tier Mage, even if you, Falcon Karl—you and Alowell already possess the strength to promote to Fifth-tier Epic at any time, right? But so what? You will still lose."

"His Majesty William is the true heroic ruler. The moment Falcon Capital is destroyed will be the moment His Majesty William makes his move."

"So, do it. I will not resist, but I will not admit defeat! Because I believe my choice will welcome the ultimate victory."

Jiang Xinran closed her eyes, directly choosing to wait for death. Within this distance, especially under the circumstance that the recognized master of this Level 4 Mage Tower was Falcon Karl, any resistance from her would just be a joke.

Speaking of which, this Falcon Karl was truly good at scheming. She had clearly already caused Mountain Eagle Parker's Sanity to drop to a negative number, already driving him mad. As a result, he unexpectedly managed to Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea. Not only did he resolve the trouble, he even promoted to the fourth tier.

Yes, Mountain Eagle Parker had always been an outstanding Mage genius.

Over the past two hundred years, in order to avoid being suspected by the king, he had truly put on a good act.

But so what?

"Yes, so what if you don't admit defeat? Jiang Xinran, this scheme actually already started five hundred years ago. You want to seek death, but I see it as largely unnecessary. We are not that kind of tyrannical family either. It is not easy for a Fourth-Circle Legendary Mage like you to grow. You should still think it over carefully. Hmm, don't be in a hurry to refute. We can watch a grand play next."

At this time, Mountain Eagle Parker smiled and spoke. With a casual Mental Shock, he whipped Jiang Xinran into the air. Her entire person was twisted in the air at an incomprehensible angle.

"Smack!"

The next moment, Jiang Xinran dropped to the ground. She had already been shocked by the immense pain to the point of tears and snot streaming down. She was in so much pain that she curled up on the ground like a prawn.

When it came to torturing people, Mages were still more skilled.

"You—you—"

Her pupils were filled with shock, as well as—incomprehensible terror!

This wasn't right! Even if she had given up resisting, a casual Mental Shock from a Fourth-Tier Mage couldn't possibly kick her around like a ball. Unless it was the fifth tier. But... but how could that be possible?

"Are you very curious? Didn't I become a madman? Actually, let me tell you, that madman is my twin brother. I said it, this scheme started from five hundred years ago. The moment we descended into the world as twins, I was hidden away. As for the schemer, of course, it was my father. As the most important advisor under Tyrant William, he has always been looking for a way out. Truly, he does not wish to fall out and become enemies with Tyrant William!"

"But there's truly no way. This person, Tyrant William, as you also said, is a heroic ruler of a generation..."

"In short, my brother became Mountain Eagle Parker, an elegant youth on the surface. But I have always been hidden in the dark, taking the Mercenary route, and have always been muddling along in the distant Moor Kingdom. Along the way, I did some inconspicuous little things. It wasn't until ten years ago that I was recruited back by my father under the identity of a Mercenary, and only entered the Ascension Continent a month ago."

"In short, my pitiful brother Mountain Eagle Parker became Tyrant William's trump card against my father like this. Look at what he has done over these two hundred-plus years? If Tyrant William hadn't been making petty moves, my pitiful brother wouldn't have become so extreme! You all always thought Karl and Parker were putting on a show of self-injury, but they weren't. From the very beginning, Mountain Eagle Parker wasn't acting. He was constantly provoked and lured in secret by you people, until he rebelled, until he revolted. He was already imprisoned, he was already so pitiful, yet you still weren't at ease and had to drive him completely mad!"

"In order to do these things, in order to evade the sanctions of Humanistic Care, Tyrant William lost quite a bit of Sanity, Queen Mary also lost quite a bit of Sanity, right? Even you lost a lot of Sanity, right?"

"You thought our family was Sima Yi. Actually, we have never done any bad deeds. Even if we schemed somewhat, it was also for our own safety. We have always been enduring and conceding. We have also never had any blatant conspiracies. If Tyrant William hadn't initiated the Empire Reconstruction Mission, our family had even planned to carry out an independent nation-building mission to rebuild the Moor Kingdom, completely avoiding any conflict with you."

"But it's very regrettable. It was you who were pressing forward step by step. You always thought we had some earth-shattering scheme, had some incredible trump cards. Actually, even if we did, we didn't plan to use them here."

"And now, I regret to inform you that we must use our schemes here!"

"By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Black Hawk Hulk. Currently a Fifth-tier Epic, and at the same time, the inheritor holding 40% of the Moor Kingdom's Legacy fragments. So then, Jiang Xinran, my brother Karl thinks we can subdue you. So do you want to switch your Faction again? You see, we've both become the Sima family, our reputations are stinking. For you to be a Slave of Three Surnames seems to be nothing much, right? A match made in heaven."

"Hehe! So this was your trump card all along! I understand, I get it! Karl will promote to the fifth tier at any time, including that Alowell, plus Old Vere. Your Sima family suddenly is equivalent to possessing four fifth-tiers. You can entirely heavily injure the Neanderthal main force in this battle. However, you are terribly mistaken. The more it is like this, the more it highlights His Majesty William's brilliance and martial prowess, because—"

"Bang!"

Jiang Xinran's head suddenly exploded. She released a Mental Shock on herself, severing her own meridians.

But Karl, Hulk, and Anna, the three of them, did not change their expressions, as if they had already guessed such a result.

"Such a death spy. Tsk tsk, too awesome. Eldest Brother, when will you cultivate a few too?" Black Hawk Hulk said with a grinning smile.

Karl, however, calmly shook his head. "Where are there any true death spies? It's just that the given benefits were enough. Once Tyrant William succeeds in establishing a nation, Jiang Xinran will have the opportunity to explore deeper levels of Magic. Rather than saying this woman is loyal to Tyrant William, it's better to say she is loyal to her own ambitions, loyal to Magic. For more profound Arcane Lore, she is willing to pay any price, just like the magicians of ancient times."

"It's fine now. She should have a way to deliver the intelligence from just now into Tyrant William's hands at the very first moment. If we can use this to force out Tyrant William's true trump card, then we've made a huge profit."

"That's also true. Tyrant William absolutely cannot be underestimated. Even I don't have much confidence going up against this old fellow. Fortunately, our father is the most formidable one."

"By the way, Eldest Brother, I heard that subordinate of yours, Li Wei, has been very active lately. Do you want me to make a move and test him out?"
