Chapter 350 Inheritance
The grand battle between the Unholy Hymn and Ryan ended in an even grander way.
No one could have imagined that the end result would be the disappearance of an entire kingdom.
The Ryan people retreated back to Liuyan City, with more than 20,000 casualties, which was the worst defeat in Ryan's history. This time, it was not just a failure, because the stupid and cowardly performance of the Ryan Emperor led to the first morale collapse in Ryan's history.
In the past, generals would lead the charge and fight to the last man standing against all kinds of monsters and demons.
As a result, the little emperor led his troops and ran away, which directly led to the collapse of those auxiliary corps. In the end, they could only rely on the Holy Knight Corps to turn the tide, otherwise they would be wiped out.
There are 130,000 Githyanki people, and more than 60 red dragons. If it weren’t for the space chaos caused by the ascension of the Kingdom of Unholy Hymn, which blew up this astral passage, there would be millions of Githyanki people.
But even if the astral channel exploded, these 130,000 Githyanki would be enough to fight a war to destroy a country.
But after Llane retreated to Flowing Flame City, the Githyanki began to set up camps and cut down trees to build ships.
Then, groups of people began to migrate overseas, guarded by red dragons.
"According to the latest news, the Githyanki have all moved overseas, and Ryan has no intention of sending troops for revenge. He just watched these Githyanki leave."
Harvey reported to Amber carefully. He was a little nervous because Amber had locked himself in the laboratory for more than two months after returning from there. In Harvey's opinion, Amber was in a bad mood because of Mr. Doom's departure, so he locked himself up.
Now I have to be very careful when reporting the latest information so as not to upset the teacher.
An Boxiu asked curiously, "What are you doing? You look so nervous? Have you lost money in business recently?"
Harvey said quickly, "No, no, the sales of daily necessities are pretty much fixed. The Unholy Song is not our market, so it has little impact. And because of this big incident, the sales of the Fountain of Youth have increased a lot. Now everyone is in danger, and the small lords who don't have much money to begin with all sell a bottle as a backup."
The Fountain of Youth can restore youth to an experienced soldier in a short period of time, which is a life-saving trump card at a critical moment. The Fountain of Youth is almost becoming a war material.
"Well, you can do the math, okay? By the way, you just said that the Githyanki went out to sea? That doesn't make sense, as I heard that most of this race can't swim. Going out to sea? Are they going to look for other dragons?"
Harvey said curiously, "Looking for other dragons, do they want to cooperate with the dragon clan?"
Amber nodded and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, they have dozens of red dragons. The different types of dragons originally had great conflicts with each other, and were barely merged together by the Dragon Tyrant. But at that time, each dragon was still solitary, and it was said that there was one dragon in one city. Later, Arthur Ryan and his heroes killed most of them, and the remaining dragons could only flee in groups. From then on, the dragons began to live in groups, and the barriers between different types of dragons were reduced a lot.
"Now a group of foreign red dragons are going to look for overseas dragon tribes. Maybe those giant dragons are really willing to recognize this distant relative... Wait, something is wrong."
Amberxiu suddenly stood up, picked up his Codex of the Undead and sent a message to Miss Bone Dragon.
After a moment, the other party replied, "I can't say."
Amber was silent, because what he asked Miss Bone Dragon was: "Is Tiamat going to help your dragon race break the contract that you signed with Arthur Ryan?"
Although the other party didn't say anything, this answer said it all.
Amber closed the Codex of the Dead and said to Harvey, "I was deceived by Tiamat. No wonder She acted so strangely before. The Dragon Goddess would not deliberately break the rules of the devil. It turned out that she was just trying to divert my attention and make me think that She really lost. In fact, when these red dragons came, Her plan was already halfway realized.
“He is not using these red dragons and Githyanki to occupy territory. He is helping the dragons get rid of the restrictions that prohibit them from entering the continent.”
Harvey was also shocked when he heard this. This news was no joke. If the dragons could come back, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Harvey asked quickly, "Teacher, how did you do this? Can we stop it?"
Amber Xiu said helplessly: "How should I know? Unless we know the main content of the contract, we can deduce the method to cancel the contract and think of a way to stop it. But who knows what the content of the contract is now? "Those red dragons should be the key. The red dragons in the astral realm are not affected by the contract. Tiamat only needs to copy this characteristic to other dragons. The specific operation may be blood transfusion, or giving birth to the next generation, or other more complicated methods. This should not be a difficult task for the dragon goddess.
"No matter which one it is, I think Tiamat has been prepared for it. Unless we can kill all the astral red dragons now, nothing we do will be of any use."
Harvey said nervously, "But if the dragons return to the mainland, everyone will be in trouble."
Amber Xiu comforted him, "Why are you so anxious? Ryan is not anxious, so why should we worry? Don't be nervous. You and I are just members of this world. Don't always think of yourself as the protagonist. If there is any big thing, those big people will naturally take the lead."
It is important for people to know themselves. This kind of event that destroys the world cannot be solved by two prophecy wizards. When the time comes, the kings will naturally summon heroes from all over the world to fight against the dragons.
Although he didn't get any useful advice, Harvey felt more at ease when he saw Amber Xiu was so calm. The teacher was right. If the sky falls, there will be big people to support it. And isn't his teacher one of the big people? He will talk to him when he can't stand it anymore.
Amber Xiu didn't know that Harvey had such a rebellious idea, so he continued to ask, "Is there anything else important?"
Harvey said quickly: "Oh, Emperor Ryan has returned to the imperial capital. I heard that someone is demanding that the emperor be held responsible for the disastrous defeat. Now the people of Ryan are arguing fiercely."
"Who is so bold as to impeach the emperor?" asked Amber Xiu.
"William Garrison was the general of the Paladin Corps at the time, a legendary paladin, and he is already 103 years old this year. He used to be the general closest to the royal family, but is now in a semi-retired state. It was Emperor Ryan who personally led the army to bring this veteran out. No one would have thought that this die-hard royalist would one day impeach the emperor for his incompetence."
"William Garrison." Amber Xiu had no impression of this name. Perhaps he was a very low-key legendary warrior. However, Amber Xiu remembered that on the battlefield, the holy light shield deployed by this legendary warrior was incredibly strong. He blocked most of the attacks of the Githyanki alone. It was a real iron wall.
Amber Xiu said with emotion: "Even the royalists have rebelled. It seems that Ryan has really lost miserably this time."
Harvey agreed, "Yes, I heard that Alan Watson's speech on the battlefield was recorded and is being quietly circulated in Ryan. This kind of news has been spread to the desert by adventurers. It seems that Ryan is close to splitting up."
Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Maybe the news was just made up by the adventurers themselves."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Ah? Teacher, why do you say that?" Harvey asked curiously.
"I've been an adventurer for hundreds of years, how could I not know their morals? A noble married a wife, and then the news spread that the heirs were fighting each other and the family had fallen apart. Ninety-nine percent of adventurers like to add fuel to the fire on accurate news and make up a long plot in their minds.
"Allen's speech appeared suddenly. Who would use a memory crystal to record it? The only possibility is that the little emperor was also giving a speech at the time, and those Ryan people were going to record the little emperor's impassioned speech, so they accidentally recorded Allan's speech into the crystal.
"But this crystal was either destroyed or secretly collected by the Royal Family of Ryan. Who could have copied it and spread it out? With so few people handling it, it would be easy to find out. I guess Allen's speech could no longer be concealed. Everyone knew about it. The first person who spread the rumor imagined that someone recorded it, the second person imagined that this memory crystal was spread out, and the third person imagined that everyone in Ryan received a copy."
Harvey looked at Amber Xiu in surprise. Is that really the case? There is indeed a big gap between him and the teacher in every aspect.
There was no news that could be considered a big deal afterwards. At most, the Dwarf Kingdom heard that Ryan had lost the war, and the Dwarf King happily announced that taxes would be halved this year, and the whole country was grateful to him.
After talking about the latest news, Amber took out a thick notebook and said to Harvey solemnly, "Take this, read it carefully, and study it carefully."
Harvey opened the notebook and saw that it recorded in detail how Mr. Fortune used the power of destiny in the Ascension of the Unholy Anthem. It was so detailed that Harvey felt he benefited a lot from just a few glances at it.
Harvey said in surprise: "Teacher, this... is too precious, right?!"
"This is what Vladimir meant. In his last days, the only thing he couldn't let go of was his lifelong research. So I tried my best to record the information for him, and I have reorganized it in the past two months. Vladimir has gone further than me on the path of a prophecy mage. What he has mastered is completely different from what I have mastered. I can't learn it, so I'll leave it to you."
Harvey suddenly felt the notebook in his hand become extremely heavy, and hesitantly said, "Teacher, I'm afraid I can't do it."
Amber walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Harvey, your talent is much better than mine. To be frank, Vladimir and I combined are not as talented as you. I spent my whole life mastering the dice of fate, and Vladimir spent hundreds of years controlling the thread of fate.
"And you became a prophecy mage just by flipping through the book. Uladimir only taught you once, and you were able to touch the thread of fate. You have the talent that we all envy, so cherish your talent and don't let it lead to the death of a genius. Even if you achieve nothing in your life, you must pass on Uladimir's knowledge to me. Do you understand?"
"Teacher, I understand. I will definitely do my best." Harvey said, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out that you were not too sad these two months, but were organizing your notes. I was almost worried to death."
Amber said disdainfully: "You're crazy. I'm a lich. How can I be so sentimental?"
Harvey remained silent as he stared at the gleaming jar on Amber's desk, where the fragments of Mr. Fortune's soul were carefully preserved.
