Chapter 1006

There are only two situations for the core of Iola to unbind the soul: one is that its owner is killed and the soul dissipates; the other is that the owner voluntarily gives up.

Kelstone was unbound before being killed, which is obviously the second situation.

But how is this possible?

The Pallas Floating Void City is the most important thing in Kelstone's life. He has invested countless efforts and wealth, and it is also the reliance for his comeback. How could he voluntarily give up?

unless……

Ren quickly thought of a guess, unless there was something more important than Pallas Floating City, forcing Kelstone to give up.

What else in the world is more important than this? There is only one answer, and it is obvious.

That is his life!

Kelstone, who had foreseen his own mortality before going to Fauberden Square, contrived to deceive his own eyes into thinking that he was really dead. There is a flaw in this plan, and that is Pallas Floating City.

If the real Kelstone is not dead, the core of Iola is still in his hands.

So he had to give up taking the initiative to unbind.

This feign death plan was almost flawless. If he hadn't been cautious enough to allow Raistlin to sneak into the control room immediately after Kelstone left the floating city, it would be impossible for him to notice the problem. Stone is really dead.

"How did he do it?" Ren frowned.

The Kelstone who killed that day in Fauberten Square was undoubtedly himself!

The eye of the soul confirmed it many times, and destroyed his body three times in a row. After the soul left, it was immediately scattered by the lightning spell, and both body and spirit were destroyed.

There was nothing unusual about Kelstone's emotions and reactions.

At that time, he looked like a dying person.

If there was anything wrong with it, it was that it was too easy to kill him.

Kelstone used to be known as "the first genius of mankind", created the branch of psykers, and rose to level 33 before he was four hundred years old, one of the real giants of the empire. In essence, he is another Ogulevi master, possessing superb wisdom comparable to that of a god, and has unlimited potential!

Although Kelstone's psychic and lightning spells were all restrained by him, he was not so helpless.

True Mirror Art?

clone?

Or some other little-known magical avatar?

Ren was puzzled, as if a thorn had been pierced in his heart, and he always felt uneasy. If it's just Kelstone, it's fine, it won't make any waves, but Kelstone is an out-of-control clone created by Ogulev.

In case there is also the shadow of Ogulev behind this matter...

"This old monster!"

Ren cursed in his heart.

Why does something rise to a certain level and always come into contact with Ogulev? He seems to be everywhere, no matter which direction he goes, he will always encounter this insurmountable mountain.

The Black Robe Duke Touzre also disappeared after the vote of the Imperial Council.

The battle between the Star Destroyer and the Floating Void City, and the decisive battle between himself and the three holy soul wizards, Tuzlei didn't show up, and he didn't know where to hide and observe secretly.

"It's so difficult..."

Ren felt that it was difficult, but there was no better way for a while.

Kelstone should not be dead, the probability is more than 80%. Even if there is only a 10% probability, it should be regarded as 100%. Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste. It must be prepared that not only Kelstone is not dead, but he will seek revenge on himself in the future.

"Royal father."

Seeing his father standing in front of Iola's Core, Rex's expression kept changing, and he didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Ren came back to his senses and glanced at his son.

He suddenly asked: "Rex, do you blame me?" Rex's face showed confusion, "Father, I don't understand."

"hehe……"

Ren laughed, looking at his son who was 70% similar in appearance to him, playing with the taste: "You are thirteen years old, and many children from poor families have already come out to work at this age, make a living, and support their families. Rex , you are smarter than other children, you should know what I am talking about, otherwise I will doubt whether your mother has tried her best to teach you."

The blankness on Rex's face turned into panic, and he lowered his head and said, "Sorry, Father."

"It's okay." Ren patted him on the shoulder.

He said sincerely: "Rex, you are my first child. Do you know that? The day you were born, I took you from your mother's arms and saw you for the first time. I was so happy , and also very excited because this is my first time being a father."

Ren paused, and said softly, "Son, you are my first true blood relative in this world."

Rex's eyes widened.

He heard the deep meaning behind this cryptic sentence, which involved the astonishing secret of his father!

"Hush..."

Ren made a quiet gesture to him, "Don't tell anyone."

Rex nodded again and again, feeling both nervous and excited. His father actually told him such an important secret, and he immediately felt that the relationship with his father had become much closer. He swore to himself that he must keep this secret, not even his mother.

"Now tell me, do you blame me?" Ren asked again, with a relaxed tone and gesture.

"I..." Rex hesitated to speak, but still didn't dare to answer.

The answer is obvious.

"It's okay, say it." Ren encouraged: "Rex, you have to remember that I am your father first, and then other identities. We don't have to worry about communicating with our father and son."

With tears in Rex's eyes, he whispered, "Yes."

"You resent me for choosing Octavius ​​as my successor?" Ryan asked again.

"yes."

Rex nodded, then quickly shook his head, explaining: "Father, I have no resentment, I just envy my younger brother, and I still have some dissatisfaction. I am your eldest son, I have done nothing wrong, and my mother is also a queen." , why don't you think about me."

After finishing speaking, Rex felt uneasy again. He didn't forget that his mother just angered his father a few hours ago, and now it's his turn.

However, Ren didn't look angry at all, but nodded in relief.

The soul's eye saw that the son was telling the truth.

This is what he really thinks.

However, it was obviously influenced by Emily, and he usually instilled the content of competing with his brothers and sisters. I called him today to correct these mistakes.

"Rex, what do you think is the advantage of being my heir?" Ren asked directly.

"Of course he is the successor to the Emperor of the Empire..."

Rex realized it was wrong when he said it, and stopped immediately.

"If you want to inherit my throne, you must wait until after I die." Ren himself said with a smile, "With my lifespan, it will be easy for me to live for another two thousand years. Unless something happens to me, you will There is a chance, but who in this world can kill me except gods?"

He had no reservations in front of his son, and proudly said: "In a few decades, even if the gods come down in person, they will just seek their own death!"

Rex was dumbfounded.

He knew that his father was very powerful, standing at the peak of the main material world, invincible in the world, but he didn't expect that his father was not afraid of even gods!

If this is the case, then it doesn't matter whether it is the heir or the title of "Prince".

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

Ren said solemnly: "The crown prince of the empire is very dazzling, but it is also very dangerous. I have many enemies, including many evil gods. If they can't kill them, I will attack you. And the crown prince is the enemy's primary assassination target."

When Rex thought of being targeted by the evil god, his scalp went numb.

Even, he began to worry about Octavius.

"Whether it's you, Octavius, or Elizabeth, you are all my children, and you are born with great advantages over others, but danger also comes with it." Ren said seriously: "You are far from It's time to consider inheriting the throne."

He suddenly smiled.

"If you want to inherit the throne, the first thing you need to consider is to live well. Those who have been promoted to the holy rank have the power to protect themselves, and they must live at least hundreds or thousands of years before they are eligible to compete for the throne."

"To live is to have a future."

"And I have to live as long as I do." Ren patted his son on the shoulder to show encouragement, "I don't want to give you a funeral with my own hands one day, understand?"

Rex nodded heavily, and replied loudly: "I understand, father!"

The grievance in his heart was swept away.

"very good."

Ren looked relieved, and the eyes of the soul saw that Rex had really figured it out, not a lie to please himself.

It was not in vain to comfort him and untie his knot.

"In a few years, Octavius ​​and Elizabeth will grow up and be as sensible as you, and I will tell them the same, as will Roland and Brian." Ryan said gently: "You brothers and sisters must live in harmony , love each other. Rex, as a big brother, you have to set an example."

"Well, I will take good care of my brothers and sisters." Rex nodded solemnly.

A smile appeared on Ren's face.

His words changed suddenly, and he asked, "What do you think of Pallas Floating City?"

"It's very powerful." After Rex talked to his father, he was no longer so cautious. He honestly expressed his feelings and commented: "If it was three days ago, it deserved to be the most powerful magical creation in the world, but now It was shot down, indicating that it is far inferior to Father Emperor's Star Destroyer."

"Then do you want it?" Ren smiled.

Rex froze for a moment, then his heart started beating wildly.

Although he just said that the Floating Void City is not as good as the Star Destroyer, and there was some disgust in his words, but when he heard that his father seemed to be giving it to him, he immediately threw that evaluation out of the sky.

This is the floating city!

And it is the largest and most magnificent Pallas Floating City in history!

The Duke of Redstone invested countless resources in its construction. The initial cost alone was more than 100 million gold shields. After more than two hundred years of continuous expansion, even if it was severely damaged, the value of the floating city was more than 200 million gold shields. The core of Iola is worth 50 million gold shields!

"Rex, do you want this floating city?"

In a trance, Rex heard his father ask again, and immediately shouted: "Yes!"

"Pallas Floating City will belong to you from now on."

Ren made a decision very casually, as if what he sent was not a floating city worth billions of dollars, but a small gift bought on the street.

Rex almost jumped up excitedly.

He knew that this was the compensation given to him by his father. He had just changed his soul for the first time last year, and he chose the path of a combat wizard without hesitation. After nearly a year of hard work, although he is still a first-level wizard, he is sure to be promoted to the second-level within two months.

It is unprecedented for a first-level wizard to control a floating city!

And I'm only thirteen years old!

If this matter gets out, I don't know how many people will be envious.

Immediately, Rex felt worried, and said anxiously: "Father, I am only a first-level wizard, and I am afraid that I will not be able to control the floating city."

"Don't worry, I will send an archmage to assist you." Ren smiled.

Rex was relieved.

"Go." Ren pointed to the core of Iola, "Bind with this core of Iola, and you will be the new owner of Pallas Floating Void City." He taught the method and experience of binding, and then Blessed a few spells for his son, able to withstand the impact of the information flow of the floating city.

Rex stepped forward excitedly, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then stretched out his hand to press the core of Iola.

Suddenly, his pupils dilated, as if seeing something incredible.

Gradually, Rex's face turned pale, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on not letting go.

Ren has been observing his son's situation.

It's a test for Rex, and the shot will be aborted if anything goes wrong.

An hour and a half later.

Rex opened his eyes, his whole body was already dripping with sweat, feeling that his strength and energy had been exhausted, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

He excitedly said: "Father, I succeeded!"

"good."

Ren was very satisfied.

The time it takes to master the Floating Void City can judge a person's talent from the side. Rex does not have a multi-core chip, and it took an hour and a half to complete it, which is already very fast.

But Rex is only a level 1 wizard, while the Duke of Silver Star is already over 20 levels.

So Rex's talent is still superior!

Rex closed his eyes to understand the information of the Floating Void City, and soon discovered that many places were damaged, and more than half of the rune circles could not function, could not be re-launched, let alone star jump.

"Don't be impatient." Ren said with a smile, "I will let the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers repair the Floating Void City, and it will restart in at most three months."

Rex said gratefully: "Thank you, Father!"

He knows how difficult it is to repair a floating city, and it will cost a lot of money. With the damage of Pallas floating city, at least 30 million gold shields are enough.

"Father, I want to transfer the Floating Void City to Kangateluo, is it possible?"

Rex asked expectantly.

Concatello is now a vassal state of the empire. Backed by the power of the empire, the rule of the Drogonburg family is as stable as a mountain, but my mother has always wanted a floating city to sit in the kingdom. First, it can unite the hearts of the people and believe in the goddess of magic. For other principalities, completely put an end to their alienation.

Ren smiled and said: "Of course, your floating city, you can go wherever you want."

Rex smiled happily.

"After the floating city is repaired, I will send you another thousand Thundercast Sky Soldiers. This legion will help you control the floating city and completely obey your orders." Ren has always been generous to his son. After all, Rex is still young. Must be thoughtful.

A thousand Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers!

Rex's breathing was stagnant. Although the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers were not legends, everyone possessed strength that surpassed legends. This thousand-man army was enough to sweep Congatero.

However, what excites him even more is yet to come.

Ren said full of expectations: "Rex, if you can be promoted to Holy Soul Wizard, I will give you a Star Destroyer."
