Chapter 1235 Sigma's Voice

"Your Majesty, Victor has been brought."

Following the Flameborn Knight's words, Victor finally saw the Phoenix King again. The last inexplicable encounter on the outskirts of Altdorf still made him feel strange.

Is that frivolous and proud elf really the king of all elves?

The strange impression was always different from the elves seen at the summit. Victor once thought that he was bewitched by the demon Tzeentch and fabricated a fictitious experience.

The Phoenix King wore a simple red-white robe, with almost no decorations on the surface except for some crude rune embroidery.

Two rings were prominently worn on his left hand. One ring as red as fire confirmed his supreme authority, and the other light yellow gemstone ring seemed a bit plain.

"Well, Boca Chiri, you stay here first."

"Yes." The Flameborn Knight stood calmly behind His Majesty. Based on past regulations, he estimated that he would test Victor's strength later.

For some warriors in Ulthuan who recommend themselves to be courtiers of the Phoenix King, the threshold is invariably better than members of the Flameborn Knights. This is difficult... As a result, only a few people have joined the War Council through the channels of the Phoenix King over the past hundred years.

Of course, losing is not hopeless. When strength, courage and will are fully proven, there will always be suitable positions assigned to the warriors.

When Imric turned around, Victor's expression suddenly changed. He vaguely felt that the figure of the elf in front of him overlapped with a statue, and the hoarse, bloodthirsty scream pierced his chest.

Silence is a wordless statement, and he did not react to it. Smart people will always deliberately obscure some things, especially in the complex situation of the empire. It is the best choice not to get to the bottom of some things.

Victor straightened his body, put his left hand behind his waist, and raised his sword in his right hand to his chest: "Silver Hammer Templar Victor Salzpyre, I pay my respects to you, His Majesty the Phoenix King."

Imric squinted his eyes and looked at Victor, but did not respond immediately... As for the affairs of Xiaoqiang, the Phoenix King relied on some past impressions, and naturally had some good feelings.

But if we only look at their strength, the little heroes who can defeat the trolls together are not uncommon...

What the Phoenix King values ​​​​is a possibility. If they really follow the evolution of a certain world line, they may find the eternal castle hidden in the chaotic wasteland, the mysterious building closest to the anchor point of the Arctic portal in the mortal world. .

The boundary between the other side and the mortal world is infinitely blurred in the Eternal Castle, just like the two-pole portal... It is a place that cannot be found through experience and inference, like a gap in the world that can move at any time.

"Before talking about other things, let's talk about the little girl next to you... She is a magic wind affinity person. Her original fate should be to be framed in her hometown and eventually die in the flames."

Elena subconsciously hid behind Victor, curling up and not daring to stick her head out. She was very afraid of the elf in front of her, and the magical wind floating in the air expressed fear to him all the time.

Holding Elena's head with his palms, Victor encouraged her to stand up. He could not protect the little girl for the rest of his life.

The timid Elena stood half a step in front of Victor with her head raised like a prisoner.

"She is a poor child. I cannot sit back and watch ignorance take away a fresh life...Phoenix King, I hope you can explain to the church that Elena has no hidden dangers of purity and let her enter the flames of Altdorf. Academy.”

Imrik glanced at Elena briefly. Her qualifications were quite average. Among the elves, she could barely sneak into the White Tower of Hoth and become an apprentice.

"I have no intention of having too many disputes with the Church of Sigmar. The current purpose of High Priest Walkerma is for the church to maintain a high degree of purity... If it were sixteen years ago, Elena would have passed your boring purity test."

Victor's legs and legs were tense. If the Phoenix King was unwilling, he could only ask His Majesty the Emperor for help.

But the twists and turns made the witch hunter feel more relaxed.

"Besides, the situation at Altdorf Academy of Magic is that... those who are recommended to enroll by witch hunters will be discriminated against. I have a better plan."

"Please say."

After a pause, Imrik walked to Elena, and in the little girl's resisting attitude, he covered her head with his hand.

After a long while, he said slowly: "She has the qualifications to study the style of Aksha... Now Princess Katelin does not have a suitable female courtier, maybe she can take over this position temporarily."

"Princess Katelin..." Victor muttered silently in his mind, assessing the feasibility of this plan.

Although Kislev is cold and remote, life in the palace will definitely not be bad. It is at least countless times better than following him as a witch hunter living in the open air. Moreover, according to Katelin's behavior during the summit, the Phoenix King did not give any instructions. , indicating that the Ice Princess is regarded as the next Tsar.

As for whether the cold Kislev is suitable for the development of a flame mage, Victor doesn't dare to think about it... If Elena learns more, she can also rely on her advice to become a counselor. All in all, it is better than staying in the empire. many.

"I thank you for your kindness on her behalf."

The witch hunter nodded, making Imric smile slightly: "Why don't you ask her opinion?"

"Many times we are unable to make perfect choices, especially choices that are in line with our own wishes. If Sigma guides her, she can live better by Princess Katelin's side than in the empire."

"Yes." Imrick called Katerin's Ice Guards to take Elena away. Maybe in the next few years, she can learn something, or maybe not, and become a burden.

But it is better than dying at the hands of the elders in her hometown due to ignorance and cowardice.

After a while, there were only three people left in the open space, and Imrick told the real reason for calling Victor.

The Phoenix King took out a double-tailed comet pendant and threw it to the witch hunter.

The simple iron pendant flashed fire in the air, as accurate and swift as a meteor across the sky. When Victor held it, he felt his palms getting hot.

"What is this?!" Victor opened his eyes in shock. The double-tailed comet pendant in his hand exuded a strange golden light, and a thunderous roar came from his ears, as if...

"I visited Altdorf once 150 years ago... or 160 years ago. At the invitation of the then Elector, I attended an important ceremony at the Double-tailed Comet Temple.

This pendant may be a gift from a priest, or it may be given to me by Sigma himself... I am old, and my memory is a little unclear."

This cannot be an ordinary thing... Victor judged in his heart. When he held the pendant, he felt endless fighting spirit in his heart. The doubts in the past disappeared. A feeling of being there and not being there wandered in his mind, just like Sigma's guidance. (End of this chapter)
