The second time Malbert met Kavala in his dream was when Li Ang had just gotten Long River Town.
At that time, Malbert once again faced the opportunity to become a 'Chosen of God'.
"At that time, he told me that if I was willing to sign a soul contract with him, he would make me the king of the entire continent..."
Malbert said with some regret, "But I still refused."
"Rejected? Why? Faced with the temptation to become the king of the continent, you can still withstand it. It's really admirable..."
Li Ang really admires Malbert. He dreamed of Kavala twice, but he never cooperated with Kavala - you know, in the eyes of most people at that time, Kavala was a heroic figure who unified the continent and ended the troubled times. He was an undefeated God of Knights, not a monster.
"I don't have that good concentration, I just know the price to pay to become Chosen of God. Dusk Knight Order has been studying these things..."
Malbert shook his head and smiled, "I know that Three Prophets is Chosen of God of Erebus, and I know that Three Prophets was originally just a woman, but later in order to escape from God's control, she suffered schizophrenia and became It became three personalities... I didn't want to have a schizophrenia. Moreover, at that time, I thought Kavala was just the haunting late king. After all, he had only appeared in my dreams. I thought at the time that he had no ability and could only give people dreams..."
Li Ang was speechless, but still gave a thumbs up. "Even so, your determination is already stronger than most people."
"Yeah, at least I'm better than those idiots Bacchus Empire... They can't even resist the temptation of the Snake Worship Cult priestess."
Malbert sighed as he spoke, "You already know most of what happened next. Bacchus Empire fell into chaos, Red Death spread rapidly, and Snake Worship Cult invaded on a large scale... But I didn't realize at that time that Snake Worship Cult was also related to Kavala..."
Li Ang nodded. Li Ang also didn't realize this at that time.
Malbert continued to talk about what happened next.
After rejecting Kavala for the second time, Malbert developed some inexplicable self-confidence - he felt that Kavala came to him twice, which probably meant that he was the legendary Child of Prophecy...
It's no wonder that Malbert would think so. Anyone who was told twice by a god to become the king in his dreams would probably feel that he was the chosen one.
So Malbert was full of confidence in the future, and he cooperated with Three Prophets again to try to subvert Lionheart Kingdom - let Anna become the princess and enter Noble Council. This was Malbert's idea for Three Prophets.
But this cooperation is actually a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, because Malbert knows that Noble Council is Magic Suppression Tower.
His original intention was to let Anna kill Ulrich, and then he killed Three Prophets in Magic Suppression Tower, and then inherited the throne naturally.
For this plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves, he also arranged manpower around all the heirs of Ulrich, such as Alanric Prince, Denise little Princess, Madam Philina, and Philina's son Andrew, daughter Amy, etc.
As long as Ulrich dies, the people he arranged will either kill these heirs or frame them as heretics.
But what I didn't expect was that Anna never took action against Noble Council, but instead got pregnant and threatened him with her identity as a princess!
Malbert knew at that time that Anna must be a fake pregnancy, but Three Prophets made him very passive. Of course he knew that Ulrich would definitely be more interested in the unborn biological child...
He had no choice but to delay by pretending to cooperate with Three Prophets while strengthening his strength and looking for opportunities.
At that time, Brennus had been conserving its strength for this reason.
At this time, Li Ang killed Snake Worship Cult's army, found a solution to Red Death, and returned to Long River Town.
At this time, Malbert started to have an idea of Li Ang - Li Ang's strength did not appear to be too strong at the time, but Li Ang defeated Three Prophets. Malbert felt that there was actually room for cooperation between himself and Li Ang.
Besides, Li Ang has been unintentionally sabotaging his plans, and he has a good relationship with Amy's family. If Malbert wants to succeed as king, he must first win over Li Ang.
Yes, that's what Malbert really thought at the time. He is a person who has always been confident in himself, and he did have a basis for cooperation with Li Ang at that time - Cliff Bay's casinos and entertainment venues were all transferred to him by Li Ang.
Moreover, Malbert's family did have the strength to suppress Li Ang - at that time, except for the eastern region of the Lionheart Kingdom, it could be said that most of the country's troops belonged to their family.
At that time, Ulrich was basically bankrupt, and both the newly recruited army and Dexian people suffered losses. However, Cliff Bay never suffered any losses, and was always stocking up on troops, money, and food.
In addition, Brennus controls Lion Knight Order; Malbert controls Dusk Knight Order - with the strength of their family, a direct rebellion at that time would most likely be successful, but after all, he and his father are both vassals of Ulrich, and he does not want to bear the reputation of rebellion, which is very troublesome.
If Li Ang can be controlled, Malbert father and son will control the entire Lionheart Kingdom. No matter what tricks King Ulrich and Three Prophets will do, they will only be able to pass the throne to him in the end.
So while Li Ang was attacking Dexia, Malbert asked Alistair to take Dusk Knight Order to attack, intending to capture Li Ang first.
It's a pity that Alistair failed to succeed. The arrest plan was almost successful, but it was disrupted by a little person who unexpectedly appeared - Ediz.
The arrest was unsuccessful, but Li Ang used Alistair to create a estrangement, causing problems in the cooperation between Malbert and Three Prophets, and causing Malbert to be assigned to Sava Fortress.
Later, Li Ang also used Toba City's loot to frame Malbert, causing Malbert to lose the trust of Ulrich...
Malbert knew Ulrich's temperament, so he had to make two preparations and start making plans for the Bacchus Empire.
He went to propose marriage to Governor Justus and tried to marry Alina - he was a smart man after all. After Xingar's auction, he learned that Emperor Marius's two sons were cooperating with Alina, so he immediately analyzed that Alina might be the heir in Emperor Marius's mind.
This kind of marriage skills can protect himself and make their family more powerful. This is originally a good countermeasure.
In fact, Malbert and Alina are indeed a perfect match - the son of a duke and the daughter of a governor. In addition, they are both adopted sons of the monarch. They are equal in terms of family life and status.
Moreover, at that time, the two countries needed a bridge for ceasefire and cooperation;
In addition, one is a handsome and talented man, and the other is a beautiful and talented woman - it is simply a match made in heaven, and it couldn't be more suitable.
Of course Justus was very happy. In the eyes of any parent, Malbert was the most suitable candidate in the entire continent at that time.
But I didn't expect that this matter would be disturbed by Li Ang - Alina was 'kidnapped' by Li Ang...
Now Malbert regarded Li Ang as the biggest obstacle. He sent people to kill Alanric Prince, who was not taken seriously, and framed Amy as Heretic, and let Three Prophets persuade Ulrich to issue a royal order to Li Ang, asking Li Ang to attack Amy and Godric.
If there is no problem with this plan, Li Ang will inevitably be in a dilemma - if he does not crusade against Amy, Li Ang will become a traitor; if he obeys the king's order and really crusades against Amy, Li Ang will be stabbed in the back and lose the support of most people.
No matter what the final result is, Li Ang will definitely regard Princess Ulrich and Princess Anna as enemies, and will actively cooperate with Malbert and Brennus - so at that time Malbert was confident that Li Ang would take the initiative to join her.
Unexpectedly, this time, before Malbert had time to say anything, he was framed again by Li Ang - Li Ang did not accept the king's order at all, and even framed Malbert for assassinating him.
To be honest, the blows and lessons Malbert received at that time were unprecedented - as a person who is best at acting and framing, he was actually acted by Li Ang, and was framed by Li Ang many times... He never won against Li Ang!
Later, he was handed over to Alina by Li Ang. In order to prove Malbert's crime, Li Ang asked Alina to take Malbert to Siyuan City, and declared that Malbert had treason and surrendered.
It is impossible for Emperor Marius to let Alina marry a surrendered general. The problem of urging marriage faced by Alina can also be solved together - Alina followed Li Ang's suggestion and asked Brutus to castrate Malbert.
After all, the crime Li Ang weaved for Malbert at that time was that Malbert, a handsome and passionate knight, came to rescue Alina who was kidnapped by Li Ang. Assassinated Li Ang, but unfortunately the assassination attempt failed and he was thrown into prison. Then he successfully escaped from prison together with Alina, and chased the beauty all the way to the Bacchus Empire, and finally committed treason and surrendered to the enemy because of love...
In this story background, if Alina does not castrate Malbert, I am afraid that a decent person like Justus will really let Alina marry him - the benefactor who rescued his daughter.
Alina started from Long River Town. To go to Siyuan City, she had to pass through the Erudition City area first.
When they arrived near Erudition City, Alina went to report to Justus that she was safe, but she did not take Malbert with her to avoid disturbing others. Talking too much is troublesome, so Alina first took Malbert to a small town near Erudition City - Ahuen.
This is the stronghold of the Viper spies and the residence of her brother Ares.
The original purpose of bringing people here was just to stay temporarily for one night.
Ares is a gentle person, and he has no ill feelings towards Malbert - Malbert easily used his superb acting skills to make Ares think that he was a poor man who was framed...
In Ares's view, Malbert was just framed by Li Ang, and he himself did nothing wrong. From Baxian's point of view, Malbert did nothing wrong...
So, Ares kindly asked his wife, who was once a slave, to treat Malbert's injuries - his wife knew a little bit of medical skills, and she would also treat some minor injuries of the poisonous snake spies.
But something went wrong with this treatment...
Ares The slave wife from Xingar knows Malbert.
Not only do they know each other, but Dusk Knight Order of Malbert is the enemy who caused her to become a slave - her hometown was plundered by Dusk Knight Order and she was sold into slavery.
At that time, Dusk Knight Order was to clean up the Snake Worship Cult gangsters. However, under the order of Malbert, they indiscriminately wiped out all the people in a village. At that time, Dusk Knight Order often used this method to raise military expenses. Unlike Dawn Knight Order, they were doing bad things openly and without any excuses...
Of course, some of the villagers are indeed not unjust, like Ares's wife. Before she became a slave, she was indeed Snake Worship Cult's person.
Moreover, she is not just a believer...
Malbert Of course, he has long forgotten about this ordinary little slave.
"I was stunned by Snake Heart Stone at that time. When I woke up, I was already in a secret room... or an ice cellar."
Malbert smiled bitterly and said, "But Ares's wife did not kill me, but used me to perform a ritual..."
"What kind of ceremony? Nailed you on an altar? But that's not right...Alina later brought you back to Long River Town, and you were still alive at that time!"
Li Ang is puzzled.
"Bring it to Long River Town again? That shouldn't be me anymore... or rather, it's just my body..."
Malbert looked at Alina, then at Li Ang: "Actually, I was considered dead in that ice cellar."
"How could it be?! In front of Alistair, you were both breathing and heartbeating..."
Li Ang frowned. "But you did not speak at that time. I felt a little strange at that time."
"Because that's not me... that's the slave woman."
Malbert shook his head and smiled sadly, "I saw Mad King using Dragon Tear to save his soul in my dream, and I also saw Mad King's soul trying to take Ulrich's body, but I didn't expect that I would experience the same thing..."
The ceremony Malbert experienced was quite simple. He was not nailed to an altar, but was thrown in front of a statue.
There is a strange code of law on the statue.
This was a very simple spell cast, but it was not Ares's wife who cast the spell, but the code on the statue.
Malbert felt as if he was being pulled by some force, a pulling feeling coming from the depths of his soul.
Malbert, who has learned a lot of soul spells, realized that this was probably to seal his soul into the code.
But Malbert, who has seen how Mad King operates, found a hidden gem from the underwear at the most critical moment - Dragon Tear!
The result is that Malbert's soul was indeed torn out of his body, but instead of entering the code, it entered Dragon Tear.
At this time, the spell casting was not over yet, and the woman's soul was pulled out by the code and entered Malbert's body.
This was a casting accident.
--So Malbert became a lonely soul, sealed in Dragon Tear; the woman's soul occupied Malbert's body, but she herself became a corpse...
That woman's soul seems to be particularly weak, because after occupying Malbert's body, she is unable to move normally and looks a little stupid.
It was at this time that the strange statue talked to Malbert.
"That statue is Kavala... I can hear his voice. But this time, Kavala didn't say anything like a king. He directly gave me a promise. He said that as long as I serve him from now on, he can really make me come back to life."
Malbert looked at Li Ang: "He wants to sign a soul contract with me and let me enter the code... He wants me to go to a small island, and he said I can get the power of God there - he said that as long as my soul enters the code, I will naturally know where the island is."
"You probably didn't promise him, right?"
Li Ang frowned.
"No, I agreed this time."
Malbert sighed, "But I always seem to be unlucky. As soon as I agreed, before I could do anything, Ares found the ice cellar..."
Wait...Malbert agreed?
Li Ang did not speak, but he realized that Malbert was in the Spirit Body state at the time, and Kavala should have been in the temple at the time, communicating with Malbert through the statue - in other words, both were in the Spirit Body state.
In this case, as long as you agree, it means that the soul contract has been signed...
"Then, what did you do to Ares?"
Li Ang didn't show any emotion, but glanced at Wendy.
Wendy put his hand on Malbert's shoulder.
"I didn't do anything to him. After I became Spirit Body, I used soul magic to trick him into having a dream, and he remained trapped in the dream... This allowed me and him to share the same body."
Malbert did not resist, still answering, and there was some sarcasm on his face. "And this dream can make him forget the death of that woman, because what Ares wants most is to marry his sister... Alina, that female slave is just an excuse used by Ares to avoid such unethical thoughts. He actually likes you..."
Alina frowned and said nothing.
Li Ang sighed and said nothing.
In fact, it is not surprising that a brother likes a sister, especially for a noble family. Besides, Ares used a female slave as an excuse to avoid this matter. He is already a very decent person.
"So... where is that code now?"
Li Ang It is now confirmed that what Malbert said is true and false. This actor is lying to himself.
And... there is something wrong with what Malbert said. It feels like Malbert originally designed a very complete script, but the director temporarily changed the content halfway through the performance?
So Li Ang deliberately changed the topic.
"The Codex is still in Ares's ice cellar."
Malbert looked at Li Ang: "Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Of course I want to go... but there must be no code there, right? It's not like you to go to such great lengths just to trick me into an ice cellar...Kavala, in fact, Malbert's ability to deceive people is far greater than yours. He originally designed a scene that would definitely deceive me. You really shouldn't just step in and control him - you are too impatient, Kavala."
Li Ang looked at Malbert and laughed, "Your soul contract can indeed completely control people, but you have controlled two people that you should not control... Maltis and Malbert, they each have their own powerful abilities, but they are unable to use their original abilities because of your control..."
