Volume 2 The Stars Are Bright Chapter 38 Desperate Survival
The people on the edge of the city seemed to feel a huge magical shock, and their eyes lit up as if to say that this was a good opportunity. The figure passed away suddenly, like a meteor that swept through the rain curtain towards the abandoned castle.
The magic guide shattered, and the spell in it was instantly stimulated, and the thrust of the huge flame sent the three of them to a higher place, Simon's running circuit used the wind to send the three of them into the distance, and Mu En landed a dexterous roll, and the thunder of the instantaneous secluded realm wrapped around his body.
Long ago, the magicians of the forefathers discovered that the unstable element of thunder is the fastest in nature, on a par with light. But compared with normal light, this element is more irritable and more difficult to control, originally thunder is a secondary classification under the light, but many scholars find that wanting to cultivate thunder to the extreme, it is far from the circuit of light. If you want Thunder to play well, you have to find a balance between control and disorder.
Therefore, thunder is also known as one of the strongest attributes among low-level mages, because the strength of the circuit is low, and the control of magic is not excellent, but it may release stronger thunder - at the cost of potentially electrocuting itself.
This kind of thing is not alarmist, every year a few unlucky people are coke by their own thunder.
And after many users of the thunder element reached the Great Magus, because of the increase in binding power, they became more and more obscure.
Since it is the fastest element, of course it is possible for a mage to use it to run away, and Mu En also happens to know that method, but after trying it a few times, he found that he can't do it, and the reason is unknown.
I cursed in my heart, but I took it back in order to save mana. You can only give yourself a relatively low intensity amplification technique.
Simon, who has the highest level of temporary circuit and the highest running ability among the three, glanced back in his busy schedule and found that the black shadow was no longer in place, and a huge pit appeared on the original ground, of course, although the diameter is not small, but the depth is not too deep, but you must know that this is on the local fortress array, everyone knows that the fortress circle will have a self-defense mechanism, specifically it is relatively simple to increase the hardness of the material that they are attached to or protect themselves.
This kind of explosion strength is definitely not something that Burning City Flame can have, but Mu En didn't say what kind of technique it is, so Simon has no way of knowing.
The ground of the fortress circle has been destroyed, and I don't know if there is a circle circuit that has exploded into the ground, if it hurts the fortress circle, it can weaken Wilk's combat power to a certain extent.
Although this level of weakening is completely insufficient for Mu En and others.
Wilk had completely slumbered his ego consciousness at this time, and the most filthy evil in his heart had rushed out of the cage, and he had already felt his presence the moment that person stepped into the circle, and now he had to kill these three eyeless things as quickly as possible.
Just as the mood of the crowd was relaxed, the black shadow burst out of the ground in an indescribable manner, as terrifying as the Leviathan's beast body trying to devour a ship with a lone lamp on a dark and stormy night.
"Everything - through!" several arcane runes appeared around Mu En's body in an instant, and then shattered and condensed into a sharp weapon in his hand.
His goal is the ground.
This time, everything penetrated through the name is not worthy of the name, because the quiet thunder spear is not very condensed, it scattered in the moment it touched the ground, and then with the transmission of the large array, it reunited at the center point of the space built by the black shadow that had been closed with its body, and you can see that the black wall trembled obviously, and it was obvious that this attack did not make it so good.
But unfortunately, such an attack alone does not make it give up the idea of killing. The black dome seemed to slowly produce a pituitary gland with sharp ends, like the sword of Damocles ready to fall to judge those who had nowhere to escape.
"My lord?!" Simon escaped from the confined space at the last moment, and when he looked back, it was just in time for the thorn to fall, and he felt a huge wave of magic even outside, the magic that was so strong that it was difficult to resist made him even more bloodless in the dark rain.
Muen was inside, and strangely enough, Wilk didn't cut off the sounds, as if he had deliberately let Simon out and let them listen to the helpless cries of their companions to make themselves more desperate.
"My life is on the line. Mu En raised his head, that thorn was just an ordinary thing, Mu En could see more casually, but he didn't need to feel it to understand the magic contained in it, this thing was still secondary, even if it exploded in the air, it was impossible for the Lei Academy students who were not good at defense to survive, not to mention that the magic level of this disgusting creature was three levels higher than his own.
At this time, Tim rushed in front of Muen, although he knew that he might not be able to save another person's life, but there was no way, Tim, who confessed to death, only knew that the order he received was to let Muen go back safely, and before this goal was achieved, there was nothing to stop him except death.
Of course, he was not ready to be generous at this time. But he suddenly thought of Mu En's old housekeeper, when he rushed over to save people and returned to the gate of the manor, the housekeeper no longer knew where to go, he was really greedy for life and afraid of death.
The Blackthorn fell, and it seemed that Tavasis was ready to cultivate the wisp of soul that had been left behind.
The man who hurried from the outskirts of the old city was caught by the wind, and it turned out to be Kyle, the temporary commander of the tower in civilian clothes! The light on his body flashed, and the rain in a radius of tens or even hundreds of meters around him was collected and then palmed, and the entire chaotic world was suspended for a few seconds.
"The sky is watery, and the evil in front of my eyes is suppressed. The huge ball of water rapidly expanded into ice crystals, and the glass-like ice crystals shattered in the blink of an eye, condensing into a large array, and he wanted to forcibly separate Wilk's evil thoughts from his fortress!
But time was running out, and at this rate, even if Kyle could successfully apply the "Crystal Coffin" spell to the Black Shadow's body, Wilk would have enough time to kill the fragile Muen.
Isn't there a miracle?
In the slightly southwestern part of the empire, after Ansher's body trembled three times, his whole person looked a little sluggish, and for a while he regretted why he carved out a redundant circuit to link with the magic guide, and now he can only sit here and do it in a hurry, and there is nothing he can do, it is better not to do it if he knows this.
He looked out the window at the rolling hills, inexplicably a little irritable. Her Royal Highness the Princess saw his feelings, so she sensibly comforted Ansher and said that Lord Tavasis would not let Muen have an accident, so that he could rest assured.
Ansher smiled and nodded at her as if he had suddenly realized, but who in the world knows his teacher better than himself?
He seems to really believe that Mu En can survive every time, never prepare for the back, and only send people to set off when something happens to Mu En. But in the world, how can there be such a reason for good luck every time?
Thinking of this, Ansher's handsome eyebrows still unconsciously gathered, squeezing the thoughts between his eyebrows into the mountains and rivers outside.
On the streets where the heavy rain still hasn't stopped, Muen's brain is still looking for a way to break the game, but the rapid thoughts have only reached one conclusion in countless simulations.
There's no way.
He heard it.
He heard the sound of Kyle chanting a spell, and the same kind of magic that could make a mage with a perfect circuit chant must be above the fifth order, but the distant water could not save the near fire, and Muen believed that the magician wearing the purple satin robe could kill it even in the enemy's fortress, but he really had no hope of escaping.
At this time, he suddenly smiled unconsciously, still the real heartfelt and relieved smile, but in the smile, but with a trace of guilt.
"Karna, I didn't expect that the person you saved by sacrificing your life would be able to live two months longer than you...... I'm sorry for you. Mu En lowered his head and silently waited for the black thorn to fall on his head, he was already very tired at the moment, his mental state did not allow him to be awake for such a long time, let alone fight.
It's just that at the last moment, Mu En, who was in a daze, felt that he was being pushed and staggered outward. Before he fell, he saw the high-ranking magician named Tim standing in the way where Blackthorn had fallen.
"Is this chivalry?" Mu En was suddenly moved by the sight of heavy rain a second before he fainted, but he might not have a chance to repay it.
Falling to the ground, like a jade tower collapsing, the back of the head is heavy, but there is blood on the ground along the gap in the stone bricks with the rain spread. Muen's last thought was that he felt as if his surroundings were no longer so dark.
When I woke up again, it was in my own house, it seemed that it was already late at night, and there was a person in a fancy costume lying on the side of the bed, sleeping very deeply, and even snoring very slightly.
"I'm not dead?" Mu En struggled to get up, the pain in the back of his head actually made him feel extremely strong and alive.
"Happiness can only make people lose their minds and be fluttering, but pain can make people feel alive......" Mu En suddenly laughed at herself, "Then am I a person who wants to live?"
"With all due respect, your proposition doesn't seem to be true, my dear young master. Outside the door, the old butler walked almost silently, which even surprised Mu En.
Mu En looked at him, and he felt like a world away, "Uncle, it's good to see you again." ”
"Young Master, I've heard a little about you this afternoon, it's too dangerous. If something happens to you in your own place, how will I explain to the lord and lady at that time, I'm afraid that three heads will not be useful. The old butler's words seemed to be only thinking about himself, but his tone was full of concern for Mu En.
Mu En smiled slightly, and the rest of his life after the catastrophe undoubtedly made him feel good, so he teased: "It's okay, if I really play myself to death, you pack up your things and run away overnight." ”
"That's not good, I broke my oath, how can I still have the face to live. ”
"Just kidding, I'll be careful later. ”
"That's for the best. By the way, I almost forgot about the business while chatting, I thought about the young master, you haven't eaten for more than a few days, and I'm afraid that you will be hungry when you wake up. This is the broth that I asked the cook to boil all the time, and the ingredients in it are stewed and crispy, and I think it is very replenishing, you can drink and see. The tray in the old butler's hand was silver, and when the lid was untied, there was a soup with bright colors and a very strong aroma, and there were not many meat dishes, and the butler explained that if you hadn't eaten for too long, it was best not to eat too much solid food suddenly.
Mu En took a few sips and praised Mr. Hou's cooking skills, which may be the best soup he has ever tasted.
"You haven't eaten for too long, so you feel good about what you eat, and the words just now can't reach his ears, this kid is already shouting for a salary increase every day. The old butler joked with a smile.
Mu En laughed heartily when he was amused, "Then give him a little raise, and the family is not short of that little money." ”
"Eh, no matter how much money you spend, you have to think about how much it is. Just like magic power, if more magic power is squandered, it will be consumed quickly, but if it is carefully controlled, it may be possible to move thousands of pounds. ”
"Yo, there's something you say that tastes like that. ”
"I'm a worker, how can I understand these things, but I just pick up the wisdom of my predecessors. ”
I don't know if it was because the two were talking too loudly or because the aroma of the broth was too strong, Simon, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly snorted and woke up.
"It's so fragrant, what a smell, it makes me hungry. In a daze, he got up from the bed and saw Mu En in front of him, "Well, young master, are you awake?" wait, wait, I'll give you something to eat...... I have prepared a good soup for you in the special kitchen, and you can sleep well...... The longer it takes, the more he will make ......up for this soup," and after speaking, Simon stood up tremblingly and was about to turn around and go to the kitchen, causing the housekeeper and Mu En to look at him and laugh.
"Sit down, the butler has already brought it for me. Mu En said to him with a smile.
"Huh?" Simon looked a little incredulous, turned his head to look around and saw that there was indeed someone, shrank back in fright, and then widened his eyes and leaned over as if to make the old butler's already less vivid face clearer in his own eyes.
"Yo, it's really you, then I'm relieved that you're here, don't bother, I'll go back to sleep first." With that, Simon staggered to the door.
Walked around the corner and disappeared behind the vision of the two......
Simon was no longer the blurred look, but instantly sobered up, leaning against the wall and patting his face. "Damn! The horse's ass actually hit the horse's leg, how did this old man come so quickly? so embarrassed, embarrassed, hurry away. ”
Hey, how do you say that...... What a living treasure.
"Lord Simon is a man of a lively mind. The old butler laughed.
"Haha, how can you be a bard if you don't live? Muen put the empty bowl back on the plate, and told the butler where the Karna family was, and said that if they wished, he was welcome to move in, and if they did not, he would send them a monthly sum of money, which must be given until his younger siblings were all adults, and that he would fulfill his vow even if he died.
Originally, Mu En planned to find an opportunity to come to the door in person, but now it seems that he is in danger, so he has to give up and leave it to someone else.
It's just that Muen suddenly frowned before falling asleep, and he thought of the same question as Simon.
How did he come so fast?
It would take a few minutes for the back kitchen to get here, but he could rush to the door of Mu En's room within ten seconds of regaining consciousness, which must be prepared in advance. Moreover, his arrival did not arouse Muen's alarm, which means that he must have walked with his feet and did not urge the magic.
Odd......
Thinking of this, Mu En suddenly became a little unsure.
Early the next morning, Mu En went to the tower of the provincial capital, because he could distinguish Kyle's voice that day, so he guessed that it was the purple-clothed messenger who saved him, so he naturally came to thank him after he woke up.
In the previous conversation with the housekeeper, I learned that Mu En, a little sleeping expert, was in a coma for three days this time, and it seems that it shouldn't be, because when Mu En finally fainted, it was a little bit of a way to give up resistance, if there was really a way to escape, Mu En's strong spirit and waking up for more than ten minutes were not a big problem, so there should be other reasons for sleeping for so long this time.
"Master Kyle. Muen came to the door and asked the guards to come in to make a report, and the temporary commander Kyle himself came out to greet him.
"I'm amazed at how quickly your body recovers. Kyle nodded at him and smiled.
"I fainted that day, but it doesn't seem like I should have been in a coma for so long, so I wanted to know something about it from you. I don't know if it's convenient for you to say, and I also want to know if the lieutenant named Tim is okay now?"
Kyle's eyes darkened at Tim's hearing, but he tried to tell the story as calmly as possible.
——
"Can't catch up!What should I do!" Kyle was in the air, and the spell was already out of his hands, but he also knew that it was probably too late.
But at this moment, there were sudden explosions in many parts of the old city, and the flames soared into the sky, and the huge roar even suppressed the muffled thunder in the sky.
At the same moment, the fortress circle lost its effect, the magic power seemed to be withdrawn, the trembling black thorn suddenly disappeared, and the barrier formed by the reflection of evil thoughts was still there, but it was not as deep as before, and it became much lighter.
Tim, who had been determined to die, felt the pressure of his magic suddenly drop to almost zero, and before the crystal coffin fell, he pierced his magic power through his body and slammed it on the barrier.
What? You ask why the main body can smash the spiritual power? Then I just want to say that there is a reason why the two of them are in the same category, otherwise the spiritual creatures are almost invincible.
Wilk suffered, but it was not a vegetarian soft egg, anyway, it was also a spiritual creature with the level of a spiritual demon after killing so many people, and seeing that the crystal coffin was falling and the fortress was destroyed and could not be teleported, he rushed to Mu En with the idea of killing one without losing money.
And Tim once again stood in front of Mu En without hesitation, his head was bleeding from the huge mental impact, and his head fell back heavily and fell to the ground.
After that, the crystal coffin fell, sealing the reflection of the two of them in it.
Kyle came in an instant, chanting a spell and using the excellent mental control of the students of the inner court, Wilk completely strangled the reflection of Wilk's evil thoughts on the outside.
With a wave of his hand, the crystal coffin shatters, and Kyle leaves with Tim.
"......" Mu En was silent for a long time, and asked cautiously, "That's—Mr. Tim is still ...... All right. His voice was soft, as if he was afraid that the slightest heavy tone would be too much for Tim to bear.
Kyle nodded and shook his head: "His mental power is not too strong, and it is fortunate that he did not die after such a level of mental impact, but in the future, he may only be able to lie in bed until the end of his life." ”
"He's only in his forties. ”
"With such a big bed, he may only live for another two hundred years. ”
Mu En squatted down and hugged his head, his eyes half red.
"Two hundred years old...... What a long time. At the end, he cried with a trembling voice, as if he couldn't believe it.
"I don't want anyone to sacrifice for me anymore, I really don't want to......" Mu En knelt down, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes.
He wasn't actually familiar with Tim, he didn't even know his name until that day, it just sounded familiar.
But in Kyle's description, Mune can't help but imagine his helpless but resolute face falling beside him, and then he can only close his eyes and endure a hundred years of loneliness alone. It reminded him of his friend, the first person who stood in front of him and let him go quickly.
Death is too lonely, and all love and good memories must be abandoned.
I can't bear it, and I don't want to have to watch you bear it weakly.
Because...... You are my fondest memory.
