The black-clad magician's eyes flickered. After a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed, "Young man, I must admit you are indeed very clever. You've guessed some of the truth based on just a few clues. But, heh heh, it's useless. Even if the Sander Empire doesn't know where the Prince is for now, once they realize something is wrong, no one can escape the Imperial Iron Curtain. Even if a horse goes missing, the Empire's spies can find out, let alone the Prince's three thousand Black Armor Army. When things come to light, your Chambord City and the Zenit Empire will still be doomed. Everyone will die!"
"You're going to die!" Sun Fei slapped the black-clad mage twice more, making him feel like he was dying, his teeth flying everywhere. He threatened, "Old man, you'd better tell me honestly what you're doing in Chambord City?"
The black-clad magician sneered, his eyes flashing with venom, and remained silent.
"Hey, you trying to act tough with me?" Sun Fei laughed angrily, "Fine, you old codger, you've got guts. If you've got the guts, then tough it out."
Sun Fei coldly pinched the black-clad mage's slightly healed bone, crushing it again with a cracking sound. The mage gasped and fainted. Sun Fei took out a [ Healing Potion ] and dripped a few drops. Soon, the old man slowly awoke, looked down at his leg bone, and froze. "My bone has healed again? This is...?"
"Old man, look at this..." Sun Fei waved the half-empty bottle of [Life-Nourishing Healing Potion] in his hand, a tempting smile spreading across his face as if demonic Jianjiao had sprouted from his head, "This stuff can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones. Even the most serious injuries can be cured with just a little bit of this potion. If you don't tell me, hehe, I'll break your bones, heal them, break them again, heal them again... As long as you have the patience to play along with me, I can shatter every single bone in your body thousands or hundreds of times. The pain, hehe, tsk tsk tsk..."
The black-clad sorcerer instantly broke down, crying out, "Demon, you demon..."
Sun Fei laughed heartily, "As long as you tell me, I can use this potion to save your life. All your broken bones and limbs can be restored to their original state. If possible, we can even continue to cooperate, hehe!"
The black-clad mage's eyes darted around, his mind racing. He had been beaten to a pulp, lifeless, only clinging to life by his immense magical power, making him incredibly resilient. But seeing a glimmer of hope, the mage finally wavered. Sometimes, despair can turn a hero into a hero, while hope can turn a hero into a coward. The red potion in the demonic figure's hand was the mage's lifeline. No one is willing to sacrifice their life, especially when such a tremendous opportunity lay before him. If he seized it, he could soar to great heights... So he finally yielded, nodding, "Alright, I can tell you everything. However, you must first swear that you will heal me after I tell you everything. If you break your promise, you'll be..."
" God of War above, in the name of Alexander the King of Chambord City, if I break my word, may Alexander's soul be scattered and forever condemned to the abyss of Hell to suffer endless torment!" Sun Fei raised his finger and swore to the heavens in a pretentious manner.
The black-clad magician believed him.
"My name is Evans, a four-star beginner wood-type mage from the distant ninth-level Manchester Empire. At the behest of my mentor Ferdinand, I was traveling the continent. Three months ago, while passing through the Northern Range Forest of the Sander Empire, I stumbled upon two mercenary teams locked in a life-or-death struggle over a mysterious black map. Heh heh, initially out of curiosity, I impulsively slaughtered over a hundred mercenaries and seized the map. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but later I discovered that the map's material was unlike anything I, Four-Star Class mage, had ever seen before. After translating and studying it, I was astonished to discover that this map was an ancient artifact passed down from the war between gods and demons over a thousand years ago. The map was densely marked with red circles, indicating numerous locations—likely the sites of that ancient battle. Moreover, besides these sites, many other locations were also marked, their significance unknown... After discovering this astonishing discovery, I immediately wanted to explore these sites of the divine-demonic war. After spending over two months translating and confirming one site..."
"Is this the site of Chambord City?" Sun Fei asked, a thought flashing through his mind.
"Yes, that's right, it's Chambord City. Over a month ago, I came to Chambord City many times and searched the Chambord City. So, after thinking it over, I realized I had to find a helper..."
"So you went to find that damn Prince of the Sander Empire?"
"I knew this Prince named Kolbak before. He had tried to recruit me to serve him and help him compete with his two brothers for the throne of the Sander Empire... I found him and told him I had discovered a site where gods and demons had fought for millennia, and asked him to come and excavate it together. If he could control the site, he could defeat his two brothers and seize the throne of the Sander Empire. Kolbak was ecstatic and immediately agreed. To avoid his two rival brothers finding out, he pretended to go on a trip, taking his elite soldiers with him. When he reached the edge of the Zenit Empire, he immediately changed his flag and flags, avoiding Zenit Empire's sentries. He traversed valleys and forests, and surrounded Chambord City without anyone noticing. His original plan was to launch a lightning attack, slaughter all the inhabitants, seize the castle, create the illusion that nothing had happened, and then slowly search for it. After all, a small border country like Chambord City wouldn't attract much attention. By the time the Zenit Empire discovered it, we would have already seized the site, hehe..."
"That's strange. Looking at your sinister appearance, do you really have any good intentions in helping that foolish Prince ascend to the throne? Let alone sharing the God and Demon Ruins with him? I don't think you have any good intentions either," Sun Fei, staring at the black-clad magician with a sneer.
"Cough cough..." The black-clad mage coughed up blood and said weakly, "Of course, how precious are the God and Demon Ruins? How could I share them with him? As long as I find an entrance and excavate the ruins, I will kill him and then control the three thousand soldiers he left behind to continue excavating the ruins for me, hehe..." The black-clad mage couldn't help but laugh as he spoke with pride.
"Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Sander Empire?"
"To avoid being discovered and robbed, we erased all traces on our way here. No one knows where Kolbak and this army went... Haha, it's a vanished army. Prince Kolbak dug his own grave. Everything was part of my plan."
"So, all that talk you gave me before about the Sander Empire finding out eventually was just to scare me?" Sun Fei sneered. "They won't even find out the Prince died here?"
"That's not necessarily true. Don't underestimate the strength of the Sander Empire. They'll find out sooner or later, but so what? I come from the mighty ninth-level Manchester Supreme Empire. My mentor, Ferdinand, is a high-ranking official of the empire. By the time they find out, I will have already taken control of the entire God and Demon Ruins. Reporting this God and Demon Ruins to the Manchester Empire will surely gain the empire's attention, and my status will rise a thousandfold. Hehe, then what can a mere fourth-level Sander Empire do to me?" The black-clad mage's face turned ruthless, and his eyes gleamed.
"A pretty good idea, but what a pity, you're not a very good person, and you just happened to run into me. You got beaten to a pulp and became a groveling prisoner." Sun Fei sneered sarcastically without any politeness. "Speaking of which, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for your painstakingly planned scheme, Chambord City might have really been destroyed under the iron heel of the Sander Empire because of this."
The black-clad mage glared at Sun Fei, wanting to retort, but after hesitating for a moment, he could only lower his head and sigh sadly, "What can I do? All my efforts have been in vain. Man proposes, God disposes. I never imagined that such an extraordinary person as you would exist in a small Chambord City. However, we may become acquainted through this conflict. What you said earlier was right; perhaps we can have a chance to cooperate in the future."
Sun Fei neither agreed nor disagreed with the suggestion.
His mind was in turmoil. The black-clad mage's words had more or less confirmed some of his previous guesses. Chambord City was indeed a city of great significance, and the vast Underground Grotto Labyrinth City- like prison they were in was probably part of the so-called God and Demon Ruins.
Sun Fei remained outwardly calm and continued, "Tell me about the God and Demon Ruins."
"You don't even know about the God and Demon Ruins?" The black-clad mage sneered, but upon seeing the fierce glint in Sun Fei's eyes, he immediately confessed obediently. "Legend has it that a thousand years ago, gods and demons coexisted on the Azeroth Continent, constantly at war. Both races were incredibly powerful, capable of moving mountains and moving the moon, tearing apart the void, shattering the earth, flying through the Azeroth Continent, which have been gradually buried by the dust of history... Later, the powerful gods and demons mysteriously disappeared from the Azeroth Continent for unknown reasons, and only after a long time did Human Clan slowly rise... Of course, these are just legends told by bards, but..." Later, people did indeed discover many wondrous ruins on the continent, from which they obtained many incredible things. Even the magic and Dou Qi cultivation methods that are now prevalent on the continent were discovered from these ruins. There are also countless powerful magical equipment, wealth, Dou Qi manuals, magical insights... If one could possess a God and Demon Ruins, one could possess everything. This is a well-known principle on the Azeroth Continent. The Barça Empire, which is known as the number one level nine empire on the continent, as well as several other Chelsea Empire, the Milan Empire, and the Anfield Empire, all gradually grew stronger by discovering large-scale God and Demon Ruins. Even our Manchester Empire is no exception. The supreme founder of the empire, Venerable Matt Busby, discovered a powerful God and Demon Ruins, inherited it, and thus founded the Manchester Empire.
At this point, a rare look of pride appeared on the black-clad magician's face. That man named Busby was indeed very powerful.
