Chapter 245 (2/2)

“Leon, you are finally willing to contact me,” the old man smiled and said softly. “When I sent you this communication prop, I was afraid that I would not live long enough for you to use it. So I am glad to be able to receive your message while I’m still alive.”

Leon sighed and asked, “Is the situation of the war really that bad?”

“Have you seen the recruiting order? Haha, it is actually worse than that.” The old man laughed, but there were no worries in his words. On the contrary, he showed some pleasure in the misfortune. “Woods, the bastard, shouldn’t have killed so many descendants of the Eagle race. Human beings were not giant eagles or griffons, and they can’t lay several eggs at a time. Even though he has been encouraging childbearing all these years, it takes a lot of time for people to grow up and reproduce.”

“Your Majesty, the present situation of the war is indeed very dangerous!”

Just then, an ordinary-looking, seemingly honest but dull teenager appeared in the mirror.

“If nothing happens,” the teen said with a frown, “the air force of both sides will fight a decisive battle in the near future, and our army will surely lose it! Without the air force, the Orcs can throw stones all the way down, and no fortress can withstand it. Perhaps the end of the kingdom is coming.”

“Who are you…?” Leon asked.

“I’m Rhine, a secret successor to the Archbishop,” the teenager answered. “The Archbishop told me to collect some important magic props and go through the transmission array to find you when the news of the complete defeat of the kingdom’s army came back.”

Leon was shocked and opened his eyes wide. “Has it been so terrible?!”

“Yes, it’s almost impossible to win.” The old man’s face appeared again in the mirror. He smiled kindly and sighed softly. “There are no flowers that will never wither, no dramas that will never end, and no kingdoms that will never die. even gods will fall down eventually. What is eternity? The Eagle Kingdom has existed for too long, just like an unwelcomed character that refuses to get off the stage, it’s time to leave.”

Leon frowned deeply and he listened to him quietly. Then he asked, “What’s the difference in high-end fighting power between us?”

The old man was a bit surprised and asked a question instead of answering. “What do you want to do? Don’t be stupid! The Orcs have brought the Staff of Imprisonment this time. No matter how powerful you are, can you win against that?”

“If it’s just the Staff of Imprisonment…”

Before Leon finished his words, the old man interrupted him and said sternly, “It’s the Presbyter of the Divine Temple of the Orc Empire that holds the Staff of Imprisonment. He is a master who has reached the highest level of the Legendary Realm and may enter the Field of Immortality at any time!”

“So am I.” Leon smiled with confidence. “The highest level of the Legendary Realm is not a big deal! I’ve been combating with a friend who recently became a god.”

In the mirror, the old man was startled. He opened his eyes wide and couldn’t believe that.

“What?! Didn’t you just get healed before entering the Legendary Realm? How can you be so fast to…?”

“I am a genius.” Leon laughed. “Don’t forget that I touched the legendary door when I was only fifteen years old. Now…I’m almost fifty years old. Is it weird for me to reach the highest level?”

“Then you can’t take risks!” The old man was surprised at first and then became more and more serious. “You are the last hope of the kingdom’s revival, and you can’t die a meaningless death on the battlefield!”

“Hey, my old sir, don’t you trust my power? The Presbyters of the Divine Temple of the Orc Empire are almost as old as you. They seem to stop breathing when the wind blows. I am much younger than them… I think there is a great chance for me to win. As for the Staff of Imprisonment, I have powerful equipment too. Recently, His Majesty sent me a magic prop.”

“They also invited the King of Animals to help. How about that?” The old man ignored Leon’s slander and interrupted him.

“My uncle will do something to help.”

“What can he do?” the old man sneered and asked. “Send himself to be killed on the battlefield so as to cheer the Orcs up?”

“My old sir, that’s too ironic…”

“I never believed in him. He never worked hard in practicing his swordsmanship. Instead he spent his time doing unspeakable things!” The old man brutally scolded His Majesty, the King of the Eagle Kingdom. “If I raised a dog, it would still help me watch my door. As for that bastard, you can count the number of times he’s come here on one hand!”

“Sir, six times altogether.” There came the teenager’s voice next to him.

“What’s so strange about a hand with six fingers? His Majesty has dozens of fingers.”

“Those are tentacles, not fingers.”

During the conversation, the magic array exhausted all its power, and the light gradually dimmed.

Before the light disappeared, Leon heard the old man’s exhortation.

“Remember! Don’t come!”
