Chapter 612 Chaotic Ritual, Fate’s Arrangement

In this secret passage of the palace, an elf unexpectedly appeared.

Coupled with the demon's sudden attack just now, the Dwarf King had many conspiracies and tricks in his mind, but he soon forgot about them.

What a joke, elves and demons teaming up? Even if Corellon was crazy, he wouldn't play with fire with the reputation of the elves for so many years.

This elf must have nothing to do with Silvermoon High Garden. The most important thing now is to escape. No matter who he is, kill him first.

There was no need to give orders, just a look, and the dwarf guards rushed towards the pale elf. However, when these dwarf guards roared and rushed forward, they ran past the pale elf and completely ignored the other's existence.

"Illusion?!"

The Dwarf King was shocked. How come he didn't notice the change in magic power at all?

Vampires should be extremely sensitive in the dark tunnels, and ordinary illusions would be completely ineffective, let alone being completely unaware.

But that was the fact. The guards around the Dwarf King roared and rushed forward, rushing towards the non-existent enemy, and soon disappeared at the end of the passage.

No matter how the dwarf king shouted, they seemed unable to hear him.

Finally, only the dwarf king was left facing the pale elf alone.

The Dwarf King knew that something was wrong. This was not an enemy he could deal with. He did not bother to hide his strength. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he spread his wings behind him and flew in the opposite direction of the passage.

Escape is the first priority. The underground passages are extensive and he has enough escape options.

He believed that this maze-like underground passage could make the elf lost if given a little chance.

The dwarf king flapped his wings, creating a strong wind, and turned into a streak of blood light and flew backwards.

He thought the pale elf would take action to stop him, but the Dwarf King found that he did not make any move at all and just let him keep distance.

Whether it was due to carelessness or underestimation of the enemy, the Dwarf King just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

Soon, a corner appeared in front of us.

The Dwarf King recognized the pattern at the corner. After turning at this position, he would soon see a fork. Choosing right at the fork would lead him to another passage exit.

Just as the Dwarf King excitedly rushed through the intersection, he was shocked to find that the pale elf appeared again at the end of the passage.

The dwarf king was so frightened that he almost crashed into the wall. He finally fluttered his wings and stopped. The pale elf smiled at him and said, "Why do you always want to run away? You are a king after all."

However, the dwarf king didn't want to talk to him at all, and flapped his wings again and flew back.

From the day he turned into a vampire out of fear of death, he had thrown away everything related to courage, and all that was left was greed and selfishness.

Faced with this strange elf, the dwarf king had no courage to fight and only wanted to escape.

Turn back once, turn back twice, this short passage seems to be cursed. It is obviously a very familiar place, but every choice is to go back.

No matter how the dwarf king struggled, at the end of the passage was the pale elf.

After trying for an unknown amount of time, the dwarf king finally fell to the ground exhausted and could no longer fly. He struggled to stand up, stared at the elf with gritted teeth, and asked, "Who are you and what do you want?! If it's wealth or power, I can give it to you..."

The dwarf king tried hard to take out his chips, wanting to exchange them with the pale elf.

However, the other person put a finger on his lips.

"Shh, don't say those boring words. I don't need your wealth and power. I'm here just to ask you to do one thing. Don't worry, it won't cost you your life."

The dwarf king quickly asked, "What is that?"

"I just want you to read this book."

The pale elf took out a thick ancient book with a black cover and handed it to the dwarf king.

The dwarf king took it with doubt. As soon as he touched the book, he felt a stinging pain in his hands, as if he was burned by a branding iron. The dwarf king subconsciously wanted to throw the book away, but after just one glance at the cover, he was deeply attracted to it as if he was possessed.

The Dwarf King's eyes turned into two whirlpools, and the words in the book turned into floating runes, which fell into his eyes. The pages of the book turned quickly until the last page was turned by him, and the last rune fell into his eyes. The original whirlpool stopped spinning and condensed into a pale skull without a jaw.

The dwarf king knelt before the pale elf and said devoutly: "Great Supreme God, your humble servant begs for your forgiveness."

The pale elf smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good, come with me. I think the situation up there is almost over. Your kingdom has been taken away, and it will be difficult to go back."

The dwarf king showed a surprised expression and asked: "God, why is this? I am still the king, and I can dedicate the entire kingdom to you."

"Fool, you have been tricked by that person. The moment you escape, this kingdom will no longer belong to you."

The pale elf was too lazy to explain and opened a space portal to take the dwarf king away.

The next second, they arrived in a gloomy castle.

The dwarf king was still immersed in a strong spirit of devotion. He couldn't help asking: "God, if I have lost my kingdom, what else can I do for you? Please tell me, I can't bear that I can't dedicate myself to you."

"Haha, don't be nervous, there will be a time for you to contribute."

The pale elf led the dwarf king to the depths of the castle and soon came to a huge magic circle.

Thirteen cages made of magic were distributed throughout the magic circle, as if it were some kind of evil ritual. Just one look at it made the Dwarf King feel dizzy, as if his soul was about to be thrown into it.

"Okay, the third cage on the right, that's your place, go in."

The dwarf king, who was completely controlled, walked into the cage without hesitation and locked himself in it.

Only then did he realize that most of the thirteen cages were already filled with prisoners.

There was a female knight with scars all over her face, a devil with marks of transformation all over his body, an orc lying on the ground with a dazed look on his face, an old man wearing an alchemist's robe...it seemed that there were people of all races and identities, and each of them was motionless.

Only three of the thirteen cages were empty. The Dwarf King didn't know the identities of these people. Could they be servants of the great gods like himself? Just as he was about to ask, a burst of light appeared on the cage, and he stiffened all over, frozen in the cage.

The pale elf walked to the center of the magic circle and drew a large number of magic lines with his hands to reconnect the cage that had just been closed. Invisible power was extracted from the dwarf king's body and flowed into the center of the magic circle.

Suddenly, the glow of magic became more pronounced, and the invisible malice seemed to come alive.

"Very good, very good malice. The noble king is greedy, selfish, cowardly, and a bit stupid. Coupled with the fact that he has been deceived and played around by fate, the rope around the lich's neck has tightened. Now, there are only three left."

The pale elf walked to one of the empty cages and murmured to himself, "The purest love, betrayal and deception, must be unforgettable. The princess is a little troublesome, and Talos is not so easy to deal with. However, as long as I am careful."

Then, he walked to the second empty cage and muttered to himself again: "A life beyond the mortal world has been repeatedly deceived by mortals. Although it is impossible to really lock a god in it, the deal has been made. Those goddesses are willing to sacrifice their hatred and memories, so there is no problem here."

Finally, he came to the center of the magic circle, which was the largest cage, and it was also empty.

He changed his tone and said, "The most difficult one is betrayal without reason. Others are victims deceived by the lich, but this one must be someone who has benefited from the lich, has a close relationship with him, and is willing to betray him. The fraudster is eventually betrayed by his relatives, and this viciousness can make this ritual complete. Alas, the lich has many enemies, so this is easy, but it is really hard to find someone who can betray the lich."

This is a very vicious magic ritual, and it is also the only way that Prince of Lies Xirik can think of to deal with Amber. Amber is in a very special state now. As a spirit in the mirror, there is no way to harm him through conventional means.

The body of the magic mirror was stored in the kingdom of the god of alchemy. Even in his heyday, Xirik could not directly break into other people's kingdoms and steal the artifacts inside, not to mention that he had just regained his sanity and had lost most of his power.

Previously, he wanted to curse Amberxiu through the magic mirror and distort all the information Amberxiu came into contact with, but it was not so easy to deceive a professional liar. Amberxiu soon realized that something was wrong and broke his curse again and again.

Xirik was also helpless. There had never been such a special artifact as the magic mirror in the world, and he never expected that someone would take the initiative to turn himself into the spirit of this artifact. Alchemy was really a troublesome thing, and even the power of the gods could not completely solve it.

After thinking for a long time, Xirik finally used his wisdom to create this vicious ritual.

This is a curse that can directly affect Amber's soul, and the effect of the curse is very simple, which is chaos, complete chaos.

Once the ritual is completed, Amber will no longer be able to receive any normal information from the outside world. The sound will be distorted into meaningless gibberish, or directly reversed and randomly pieced together; the colors will be polluted, like pigments smudged together, and can no longer show their original shapes.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Whether it was touch or spiritual perception, all means of sensing the outside world would be disturbed, and this interference had no regularity. In this way, Amber would be imprisoned in a cage of loneliness forever.

This is an extremely cruel torture, even more miserable than being a dead soul.

Any longer and anyone would go crazy.

Xirik couldn't find a way to kill Amber, so he could only destroy him in this way. The result was the same. When Amber fell into this pure chaos, the so-called fraudster could only become an idiot.

However, the conditions for launching this ceremony are extremely harsh.

The venue alone needs to be chosen somewhere closely related to Ambershu. This castle is where Ambershu was reincarnated as a lich. Since Isabel moved away, the castle has been completely vacant.

With a little trickery, Xirik transformed the castle into a secret base for holding ceremonies.

Next are the thirteen sacrifices, all of whom must be people closely related to Amberxiu, must have been deceived by Amberxiu, and their fates are deeply entangled with each other, and the content of their deceptions cannot be the same.

Fortunately, Amber has deceived many people over the past few hundred years, so it is not difficult to choose.

Although Xirik could not use the power of fate, as the Prince of Lies, he could easily distinguish the connection between the liar and the victim, and he soon found ten suitable sacrifices.

But the last one is the most troublesome. He has to accept Amberxiu's favor, have a close relationship with him, and be willing to betray him. It is really hard to find such a person.

Xirik thought for a long time. Is there such a person around Amberxiu?

Withered Rose is not suitable. Although the two have a deep relationship, Withered Rose herself is about to die. Her soul is close to "blank". There is no gratitude, and she cannot produce the evil of betrayal.

"The alchemist named Isabel?" Xirik quickly shook his head and rejected this candidate.

The love-related sacrifices have already been chosen, and adding one more will only affect the effect of the ceremony. Isabel's feelings for Amber are very complicated, and it is not a simple master-disciple relationship, so it is difficult to grasp.

"Then it seems there is only one left."

The pale elf condensed into a phantom, fell into the cage, and turned into the face of a young man. He was William Harvey, Amber's student and the most gifted prophecy mage.

"Yes, he is the best candidate, but if you want to make him betray, I'm afraid it will take some effort."

Harvey and Amber have a very good relationship. They both saved each other's lives. In terms of close relationship, I'm afraid no one can compare to them.

He was thinking about how to make Harvey betray Ambersu, but he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the castle gate.

"Look who's here?"

The pale elf's eyes penetrated through layers of walls and saw everything outside the castle.

A dusty young man appeared outside the castle, holding up a staff and pushing open the door, as if he was about to walk in.

And this young man is Harvey.

The castle gate slowly opened and Harvey slowly walked in.

The castle, which has not been taken care of for a long time, now has a faint smell of decay.

Harvey didn't care, he just walked into the castle step by step.

The reason why he appeared here was because he sensed the instructions of fate. Inside this castle, there was an opportunity for him to become a legend.

The feeling was so strong that Harvey couldn't ignore it.

However, the goddess of fate seemed to have other instructions. He could only come here alone and not let anyone know, otherwise he would encounter unprecedented danger.

This premonition is equally strong.

Harvey’s first reaction at that time was – is it so targeted?

As Amber's student, there were no secrets between the master and the apprentice. The goddess of fate instructed him not to tell anyone, so wouldn't that mean he was hiding it from his teacher? Harvey was helpless. He knew that Amber had completely stopped using the power of fate recently and once again became a scumbag who abandoned the goddess. This time, fate's instructions were probably related to his teacher.

If Harvey is given another two years, he might be able to say "no" to the instructions of the goddess of fate. Harvey's previous research on how to circumvent fate has made significant progress. It's really just a matter of time. When he succeeds, he can delete those unfortunate futures at will and always choose the future he wants.

But unfortunately, the goddess of fate had already anticipated this, so she gave Harvey a fate that he had to obey.

One is a mysterious goddess, the other is his teacher. Harvey feels helpless as a child when his parents are fighting. And Harvey has no choice. He cannot defy fate now, or he will fall to death the next day because he steps out of the door with his left foot.

"Come if you want. It's a premonition of becoming a legend, which is a good thing for me."

Harvey comforted himself and continued to go deeper into the castle. Soon he saw a pale-skinned elf appear in front of him.

The pale elf with a strange aura waved at him and said, "William Harvey, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
