Chapter Twenty-Five: Gerald, Lord of the Black

At the same time, in the rear of the battlefield dozens of miles to the east, Charlotte and others were marching cautiously in the bushes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The darkness of the night and the slaughtering battlefield behind them gave them great cover, with the Eye of the Formation in charge of the southeast, and Emmanuel in charge of the Eye of the Formation due north. I don't know who the mysterious seventh person in Sylvia's arrangement is, but it is obvious that the seventh person is in charge of the northeast formation. And there, it is where the camp of the witch army is located.

Charlotte had no experience in stealth in her previous life or in her life, but it was nothing, experienced forest rangers had a way to hide their bodies, and even Dema could use magic to silence the voices of several people.

Along the way, they were not without any danger, and on several occasions, they brushed shoulders with the underground scouts in the witch's camp. But the scouts, who were small in stature, whose binocular function had almost degraded to the point of blindness, and who could only rely on thermal sense, were tossed around by Dema's magic. At one point, the team even passed right under their noses, and the scouts didn't even notice their presence.

As he passed a large locust tree, Zoe, the future lord of the structure and now the elven prince, stopped, took out a parchment map from his bosom, looked at it carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It looks like we're going very well, and we'll be at the right place about three kilometres further on. ”

Charlotte almost couldn't help but cheer, and while stealth was a thrilling experience for this adventurous fellow, mosquitoes in the wild at night weren't so pleasing. The Ranger had a deworming ointment, but it smelled so strong that it could easily attract the attention of scouts. In just about half an hour of sneaking, Charlotte's body was bitten by mosquitoes in the wild and covered with all kinds of red and tender swollen bags, which made it unbearable for the noble boy who had been pampered since he was a child.

"So what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and complete this task!"

Seeing Charlotte's impatience, Zoe smiled and nodded.

Probably because he was far away from the camp of the witch army, the next journey became extraordinarily smooth. They were moving in a straight line, and it took about a quarter of an hour or so to cover half the distance. This is also the result of deliberately reducing the speed in order to maintain stealth. As the destination got closer, everyone had a look of joy on their faces.

At the beginning, everyone, including Zoe, was determined to carry out this mission with a mortal determination, and for this, Zoe even did not hesitate to quarrel with Yvette, who cared about her. The Elven Queen has repeatedly objected to Zoe's involvement as the heir, but for the self-motivated Zoe, it is the unknown and dangerous challenges that can better unleash his infinite potential.

"Wait! Something seems wrong!"

Zoe's smile stiffened in the middle of the group, and he raised his hand to stop the crowd from advancing. In fact, there was no need for him to say more, every experienced elven ranger had a cautious expression on his face, some of them drew their short swords from their waists, and some of them bent their bows and arrows to pose as if they were on guard. It seems that they who are experienced in field warfare have also discovered danger.

Charlotte looked around, it was an empty wilderness, with little shelter on all sides, except for a few trees that were not too tall. The night wind blew through the calve-down weeds, making them rustle like a sea of dark green.

"What's wrong? Nothing strange looks here. ”

Hearing Charlotte's question, Zoe didn't look back and replied with a serious expression.

"No! it's weird, there's no living sound here. ”

After he reminded her, Charlotte realized that something was wrong. Indeed, there was no movement except the sound of the night wind and the rustle of the weeds, nor the chirping of frogs, nor of cicadas, nor of birds, which was a strange situation in the open wilderness. Charlotte patted Elle, who was hovering over her shoulder, and the latter had a serious expression on her immature face. Dema silently raised her staff, silently preparing a few spells, intently waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Bang Bang Bang ......

There was a crisp round of applause in the wilderness, and the voice was unhurried and rhythmic, and it showed the incomparable confidence of the Presenter.

As an unnatural whirlwind blew through the clearing in front of them, a young man dressed in an all-black samurai suit, with short scarlet hair and a skull necklace around his neck, suddenly appeared in front of everyone with applause.

He had healthy tanned skin, and the collar of his samurai suit was open, boasting his sexy, strong pecs. The young man, dressed as a samurai, was strangely unarmed, with an unbridled smile on his masculine face and a look of absolute confidence in himself in his scarlet pupils.

Just the first sight of this man, everyone had to focus all their energy on him. He is obviously not the kind of dignified, noble and generous person, but people have to applaud his confident and flamboyant posture, and even make people have a strange feeling of 'ah, this man should be like this'.

"It's amazing pointy ears to be so vigilant at such a young age. Heh, there's also a legendary mage. It seems that this feast is not as boring as expected. ”

The man looked at everyone with a wanton attitude, his gaze swept over Zoe, Dema, and Charlotte in turn. When he saw Elle on Charlotte's shoulder, the young man's face gradually became more solemn, and then he let out an insolent smile.

"Hahaha...... What is that breath of depth? Could it be the proof of the roots? Interesting, so interesting! I can't imagine that I, Gerald, will ever see the evidence of the roots in my lifetime! Ah, when was the last time it came? Three hundred years ago? Or was it longer? Haha, I don't remember, but I can still remember the evidence of the roots of my noble master and great teacher, Eagle Allwood. Hahaha, ever since I was sent back to the abyss, I have been thinking about the magnificent appearance of that wonderful scepter!Ah, boy, give me the proof of the roots, such a wonderful item is a waste in your hands!"

Charlotte looked at the young man who looked like a madman and frowned slightly. And one of the elven rangers guarding them in front suddenly let out an exclamation.

"You just mentioned His Majesty Iger, are you the legendary demon of the abyss, Gerald the Lordkiller!?"

"Oh? Does anyone still remember my name? Haha, that's right! I can still remember the indifferent look in the face of Master Eagle before he died, he seemed to have anticipated my betrayal. Ahaha, he and I are really born master and servant, destined master and apprentice. Maybe he thought he would always be able to restrain me until I grew up enough to stand side by side with him, no!

The young man named Gerald suddenly became so grieved that his expression changed so quickly that one would think he was a deranged madman. In fact, the demons of the abyss are no different from the madmen.

"My most revered master of Eagle could not have imagined that he would become so weak by that failed magical experiment that I had taken advantage of it. Ah, my greatest master, my most respected teacher, I have never felt true joy since the loss of you! Is the supreme joy of killing you like a mirror, just a void?"

"Crazy, crazy! You bloodless madman!"

Zoe clenched the emerald green longbow in both hands, and his mood was so excited that his knuckles turned white from overexertion. In the elven prince's outlook on life, it is really impossible to forgive such an evil murderer.

"Wait, wait, Eagle, who is he?"

Charlotte remembered the tall, emaciated man in her dreams who hid himself in a black robe. The man seemed to have a close relationship with Rus-En, and it was clear that he was most likely the same person as Eagle, whom Gerald had killed.

"Lord Charlotte, legend has it that His Majesty Eagle is the root mage who founded the Magic Empire with His Majesty Lu Sien, and I have heard the elders of the clan say that he is a powerful mage who can control the soul and death!"

It was the Elven Ranger who answered Charlotte's question, and it seemed that Lusen was not the only mage standing at the top of that Lost Era.

"Then you must know the reason for the collapse of the Magic Empire, right?"

"I'm sorry. I don't know, I haven't lived through that era myself, and the elders of the clan are secretive about it. ”

Charlotte immediately asked the almost jack-of-all-trades elf, and this time, he couldn't answer Charlotte's question.

"Shut up! Maggots! It's time to get to the bottom of it!"

The venomous Dema reprimanded Charlotte mercilessly, and the petite maid mage looked so serious that Charlotte even noticed that her body was trembling slightly.

"Hey, Dema, what's wrong with you?"

"Maggots who don't learn and don't know how to learn!

She lowered her voice and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"This madman is the future Lord of the Black!

The future lord of black!Charlotte looked at Zoe, the future lord of the future structure who was still immature in front of her, and then looked at Gerald, the future lord of the dark who was obviously a legend or even above. He finally understood why Dema was nervous.

This means that they will face a terrifying opponent at the level of the Three Saints of Annihilation!
