Chapter 122 -114 Showing Off Magic in Front of Mistrall_2

The magic array slowly revealed the image of Amberser seated in his castle, his skeleton face emotionless, with only the light of Soul Fire gleaming in his eyes.

The old King stood by, scrutinizing the image displayed by the magic array.

Is this the Lich who wrote the letter?

He appears quite ordinary, no different from the average Lich.

But in the moment their gazes met, the hollow eyes of the Lich seemed to pierce through the barriers of time and space, landing on the old King.

The old King, being a seasoned Legendary fighter, immediately sensed something was amiss.

The Lich displayed in the magic array wasn’t just an image from the past; his gaze felt tangible.

“What’s going on? Is there a problem with how the magic array is operating?” the old King hastily inquired.

The Elven Elders quickly inspected the array, but found nothing amiss. The Wheel of Fate continued to spin smoothly, and with a little effort, the scene before them would begin to rewind, revealing the life of this Lich.

After gathering enough “past,” they could attempt to deduce the future. If all went well, they could predict the outcome of the negotiations.

However, just as they were about to proceed, the Lich’s phantom in the center of the magic array suddenly moved.

Though it was merely a projection from a specific moment in time, it now seemed to come to life, and this Lich snapped his fingers at the gathered Elves.

The next second, the Wheel of Fate started spinning uncontrollably.

Seeing the panicked looks in the eyes of the Elven Elders, the old King immediately understood that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, he was not skilled in magic and could only watch helplessly, unable to intervene.

The faces of the Elven Elders turned pale with fear, clueless about what had transpired. The magic array wasn’t damaged, and the Wheel of Fate was still spinning—just completely out of their control.

That someone could seize control of their carefully prepared magic ritual in an instant was simply inconceivable.

No matter how hard they tried, the Wheel of Fate, like a lover who had changed their affection, was indifferent, mercilessly throwing itself into another’s embrace.

The Elven Elders had no choice but to inform the old King of the terrifying truth: “The ritual is under someone else’s control, and it’s now completely out of hand.”

“Can’t the supply of magic power be cut off?” asked the old King.

“We have already cut it off; the operation of the magic ritual is not being powered by us anymore.”

The old King’s expression turned grave; this sounded too absurd.

Not only had the other party instantaneously seized control of the magic ritual, but they were also able to power the magic array from such a vast distance?

The Elves were in disarray, while Amberser sat in his castle, watching everything unfold with great interest.

Having taken control of their magic ritual, Amberser could see everything happening on the Elves’ side.

They actually tried to pry into his fate. He wondered which wire was loose in these Elves’ heads. He was truly destiny’s favored child, heartlessly abandoned, yet the forces of fate still tried every way to reconcile with him, loving him beyond measure.

You say this is a trap set by Rowetta?

Heh, traps are also part of destiny.

It sounds impressive, but either don’t believe in it at all or believe in it completely; there is no middle ground.

This Wheel of Fate magic ritual might seem formidable, but to Amberser, it was nothing more than a clumsy attempt lacking any ingenuity. None of these Elves truly possessed the power of prophecy; they were merely simulating it through the ritual.

It’s like building a dam by hand, attempting to influence and alter the course of a river. Usually, it works. But if the river has a will of its own, no matter how high or strong your dam is, it’s meaningless because the flood can now disregard the confines of the riverbed and flow upstream on its own.

Amberser had regained control of the Legendary Rank’s power of destiny, so the Elves trying to play with prophecy before him was like showing off magic in front of Mistrall.

Amberser stroked his chin, pondering the Elves’ reasons for their actions.

Compared to the entire Elf Tribe, he was merely a Legendary Lich. Was there any need to treat him with such grandeur? What could be the reason that prompted these Elves to expend so much manpower and resources to investigate his intelligence?

The behavior of the Elf Tribe did not conform to common sense, so there must be an uncommon reason behind it.

“Heh, could it possibly be related to their reason for waging this war?”

Amberser’s fingers traced a circle, and on the Elves’ side they saw the Wheel of Fate spin wildly as scenes and silhouettes emerged. The visage of Queen Katherine of the Elves became clearer and more recognizable.

The Elven Elders shouted, “Curses, he is using the power of fate to pry into our secrets!”

The old King roared, “Destroy this Magic Array at once!”

However, the Elven Elders helplessly said, “It cannot be destroyed. The Magic Array was designed with a feature to prevent disruption by external forces. Even if we destroy this place, we cannot affect the operation of the Wheel of Fate.”

The old King angrily said, “Is there no emergency stop function? How do you maintain it usually!”

The Elven Elders looked even more helpless as they explained, “Of course there is, but the prerequisite is that we still have control of the Magic Array. Who would have thought that the observed could actually gain control of the Wheel of Fate?”

At this critical moment, Queen Katherine appeared in this secret room.

The Elves hurriedly paid their respects, but Katherine had no time to respond.

She concentrated her magic power, channeling it into the Wheel of Fate in an attempt to disrupt the operation of the Magic Array, using brute force to break its structure. Katherine and Amberser were both Legendary Rank spellcasters. Even though Katherine was not adept in the power of fate, destroying was always easier for her than maintaining.

The two unseen adversaries clashed magically over thousands of miles, an unexpected encounter for both.

But Katherine could not relent; the Elf Tribe’s secrets must not be known to the other side.

After a long while, the rotation of the Wheel of Fate slowed down, and the flickering shadows disappeared.

Katherine, sweating profusely, withdrew her hands. The old King quickly approached to ask, “How is it, are our secrets safe?”

Katherine nodded, “They should be.”

“Thanks to you,” the old King said with a palpable sense of relief.

Katherine, however, shook her head with a wry smile, “It wasn’t me who stopped him; he gave up voluntarily.”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

Full of surprise, the old King had not expected that even Katherine’s intervention couldn’t stop the adversary, but his sudden voluntary withdrawal was even more baffling.

“I couldn’t control the Magic Array. That Lich voluntarily returned the control of the Magic Array to us. He said…” Katherine hesitated for a moment, then continued, “He said, it was a gesture of goodwill, hoping the negotiation could go smoothly.”

The old King’s brow furrowed, uncertain whether to trust the Lich’s words.

“He really didn’t find out our secret?” the old King pressed.

Katherine nodded and said, “Of that, I am certain. The Wheel of Fate did not reveal the secret of the magical addiction disease; no related information has appeared.”

“That’s good, that’s very good.”

The old King breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for the fortunate outcome amidst misfortune. However, after this experience, they would have to reconsider their strategy for the negotiations. This Lich was far more dreadful than imagined, truly worthy of membership in the Elegy Poetry Society.

Meanwhile, on Amberser’s side, he was flipping through the Necromancy Codex, frantically writing: [My friends, I know the secret of the Elf Tribe, you won’t believe what it is.]

The Wheel of Fate had not displayed the Elves’ secret, but… after coming in contact with Katherine’s magic, Amberser used it as a beacon to glimpse her entire life.

He didn’t need a circle of people performing some ritual; with a single thought, hundreds of Dice of Destiny could unveil the mysteries of fate for him, showcasing the secrets of the Elf Tribe right before his eyes.

And Katherine, lacking Amberser’s sensitivity to the forces of destiny, was utterly unaware of this.

Now that Amberser had grasped the greatest secret of the Elf Tribe, it was time to revise the negotiation strategy.
