Volume 2 The Stars Chapter 25 The Happy Man
"Do you want to do it first?" Karna asked softly.
"Dare to come over and pack the three of us when the senior magus has just left, you must be very confident in yourself. You stay for the final blow, and I'll give you a chance. Mu En gently inserted his hand into the earth, and the trickle of magic slowly condensed into flowers under delicate control.
A source stone fell, lighting up the magic circle that Mu En could draw but couldn't drive.
In an instant, the Vientiane Thunder swirled through the jungle, gradually stabilizing after the initial outbreak. This is a technique that is stronger in attack than defense, and it has more of a taste of coercion, after all, anyone who sees the bright thunder and lightning around them will not want to feel that kind of stimulation with their physical body no matter how close they are.
Mu En's use of this formation is also due to the fact that it is not a good thing to be uninjured in case there is, if the other party is strong enough to directly break through the thunder of the magic formation, then they don't have to think about it, they can just run away after throwing away anything.
But apparently this time Mu En's luck was not bad.
"Calm down! Calm down!" a slightly hoarse voice came from the center of the circle.
Muen motioned for Karna to hide his breath from revealing his location, and he and Chloe walked out.
"Who are you. Mu En stepped on a rotten wood, leaning forward with one hand behind his back, as if he wanted to show some momentum, but because of his childish face, this appearance looked fierce.
The man, dressed in a soldier's clothes, looked a little inexplicable, and he spread his hands out and asked, "I should ask you this, right? I am a border guard of the Empire, why are you two children here? What about your division commander? I just heard some noise before I was going to come and take a look." ”
Mu En smiled brightly, looking harmless to humans and animals.
"I see, it seems to be a misunderstanding, please don't be surprised, you always have to be careful when you go out. With that, the hand behind his back made a gesture to Karnabi.
Although Karna couldn't understand what kind of gesture it was, he felt the murderous aura of Teng, so he directly began to secretly prepare for a big gift to the sentry opposite.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, ask your teacher to unravel this circle, it's not a fun thing, it's a felony to violate soldiers. The man in the sentry costume said solemnly.
"Okay, but you guessed it wrong, it wasn't my teacher who did it, I drew it myself. Mu En's words were slower than usual, and he silently recited in his heart for seven seconds, and then raised his hand to direct the magic power to converge!
The sentry was taken aback, and quickly summoned his magic power to resist it, and at this moment, a red thunderbolt streaked through the sky and disappeared in an instant, leaving only traces of obstacles in the path being burned to char.
A large hole appeared in the sentry's heart, his pupils began to dilute, and his face was full of incredulity.
"Oops......" Mu En sighed helplessly, "What about the sentinels of the empire, at least three people will be the basic group, and three teams will be a team, and the group will meet each other at three points not far away to prevent emergencies, it is absolutely impossible for one person to appear, even when going to the toilet, two people will watch from the side, you and I have never read?"
Chloe showed a puzzled expression, turned her head and asked in a low voice, "Do you also memorize this kind of rule?"
Mu En glanced at her, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if he had memorized a lot of such things that normal students would not know and would only watch for pleasure.
Karna jumped out of his hiding place, looked at the dying sentry with a smile, and said, "I understand this situation! Either a deserter or a traitor." And when we came, I happened to hear that there were a few people who became sorcerers, which kind of people are you?"
A look of resentment appeared on the sorcerer's face as he approached the archmage, but he didn't have the strength to use his magic powers, not even to ignite his own circuit, because the sordid circuits that penetrated everything shattered his filthy circuits in an instant.
Lying straight on the fragrant soil, his body began to decay rapidly, infecting the surrounding plants and gradually emitting a foul smell.
Chloe quickly turned her head and covered her mouth with her hand, as if she was a little sick to her stomach.
Karna walked up to Muen's side and snorted, expressing his displeasure at the disgusting scene.
"Let's ...... Do you want to pretend?" Muen whispered, he just glanced at Chloe's appearance with his peripheral vision, and felt that it seemed a little inappropriate for him to be so calm.
"I was stunned for a few seconds before I started to vomit, and people would treat us as stupid melons - but then you really didn't react at all, and your psychology is so strong?"
"I've seen it for a long time, with my brother, and it was uncomfortable for months at that time. But aren't you just as unresponsive?"
"The charred corpse you electrocuted last time and the dried corpse I found in the cave are much more disgusting than this one, and it's no longer strange. ”
"Is it true that a man with a life is so unfazed, mature and steady? Mu En began to be angry.
"It's hard to give up on being beautiful, there's no way, I don't want to be so good. Karna went back disgusted without changing his face.
Chloe's voice rang out slightly, "Let's get out of here." ”
"You're killing for the first time?" Karna turned and walked towards her.
"No, I haven't killed anyone at all. Chloe pointed to the right point, and she was the same vase watching the play from beginning to end.
"Oh yes, how did you get through the winter hunt last semester?"
"Why did you kill people in the winter? You've already killed people at that time!" Chloe looked shocked as she watched as the two of them began to look at each other at a different angle.
What does that feel like — with some trepidation?
Especially when she saw Muen's thirteen-year-old face and the cute smile of the harmless human and animal, the sense of horror was even more obvious.
Mu En stepped forward and pointed to the frightened fawn and said to Karna, "You are normal, you have scared people." ”
Karna raised his hand, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Not really, my fault." ”
"We really need to get out of here, the smell of corruption will quickly attract goblins to gather. When Mu En walked over, he wrapped a hand with the power of purification, looking extremely terrifying.
The corners of Chloe's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything.
"I'm Gan, why are you cutting people's hands?" Karna felt that he had been vulgarized by Mu En.
"As a voucher to go back and exchange for silver, I want to get out of the forest and find another way. ”
"You lack this money?"
"There is no shortage, but I have to think about you, after all, Chloe and I have already been escorted, so you don't have the ability to be sent back to your happy hometown. ”
"Next year, next year, it will definitely be. Karna suddenly felt very embarrassed.
"You're disqualified, brother!" Mu En ruthlessly dismissed his thoughts.
In the evening, the temporary commander of the outpost checked the hand lines again and confirmed that this was one of the five defectors, so he personally wrote a letter of proof, stamped it with a red stamp and handed it to Muen, of course, the reward should be given a lot of silver.
"Tsk, let's go home, what kind of energy is there to survive in the wilderness, and I killed a great magician-level sorcerer, and I am in the top ten. In the tent, Karna shook the letter and smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Don't be so dreamless, okay?" Muen rolled her eyes.
"Eh Muen, let me tell you something. ”
"You say. ”
"She's fourteen and not yet fifteen. ”
"So what?" Muen knew who Karna meant she was, but he didn't care.
Karna spread out his hands with a puzzled expression, "Take her down!" ”
"I'm only thirteen years old, so it's too early to think about that. ”
"it, don't you have to do it as soon as possible! Can the people chasing her line up from the gate of the tower courtyard to the door of Neptune? ”
"I don't know her, so why should I be in a relationship with her. ”
Karna raised his hand, looking like he couldn't say anything to Muen, and then turned over and shouted for sleep.
During this time, Mordred spent all his time in the tower, and he lived the life of Muen before, but the difference was that he was more self-conscious than Muen, so this period of time can be regarded as a rapid progress.
"My lord, I wonder why many people say that the Great Wizard can actually be regarded as a realm before, and the Archwizard can only be regarded as a half realm?"
Tavasis pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to say it to be a tact, "Because the difficulty of each level of improvement after the Magister is exponentially increased, so if you don't even have a complete set of circuits, of course you will be looked down upon by many strong people. Another is that when the inscription circuit is inscribed, primary, advanced and perfect, there are three classes with a large gap, and the great mage can only be regarded as elementary before it, and at this stage, especially in the stage of the first spine, the difference in the amount of magic power is very small, so generally speaking, under the magister, the cross-border killing of people, including the archmage, is not really a cross of the border, it is just a small fight. Of course, this is only for geniuses, since there is such a hierarchy, it means that among the vast majority of people, the gap in each realm can be felt. ”
"Then why isn't the realm so delicate after that?"
"Because if they can feel obvious pressure and resistance in these realms, they will not be able to ascend to the top, and most of the people who can do it will also use the three-order method I just said. After Tavasis finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Didn't the Pope teach you such basic knowledge?"
"His Holiness the Pope...... I don't really like these things. ”
Tavasis shook his head with a smile.
In the Forest of Avalon, the Elven King receives a letter from an Arcane Sage, inviting him to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Sage Umash at the end of the summer.
"These people really don't give up. After reading the letter, His Majesty Help said to his queen with a smile.
"Actually, I think I can still go to the inauguration ceremony, after all, I also cooperated with them. "The queen is quiet and elegant, and she has a lot of nobility in her smile.
"No......" Help sighed with a smile, "I've been interacting with sub-elves too often in recent years, and if this continues, it will cause tension among the other groups, my gesture. ”
"It's up to Your Majesty to decide. The queen smiled, and the whole jungle was amazed.
The next morning, Karna stepped out of the tent and stretched, the food at the post was good, because the soldiers here were in constant danger, so there was meat, including breakfast. Although the cooking skills are really not excellent, it is clearly very much of an appetite for Karna.
"I just like the feeling of eating meat and drinking soup in a big gulp! I have decided that I will also be a soldier in the future!" Karna has a strong blooming talent, but the strength of this talent can only be finally assessed with the growth of age, so the speculation is still relatively unobvious, but it is obvious that his other talent is that he can quickly get along with everyone.
With his arrogant voice, many soldiers burst out laughing, and the meat words in their mouths were not malicious.
Chloe was not used to such an atmosphere, and seemed a little quiet, sitting alone at the table of a chapter.
The defection of the previous five sorcerers caused a lot of trouble for the outpost, with the two deputy commanders working together to kill the commander, and the other three killed several brave sentinel warriors by surprise. In the end, they had to evacuate under the siege, after all, the warriors who can fight at the forefront of the empire must not have too bad a magic level, and the tacit understanding cultivated in the battlefield makes them not easily mowed.
It's just that...... The cafeteria, which used to be full, is now empty with many seats.
The alternate team members have not yet arrived, and the new commander has not yet been named, and the temporary commander at this moment is just a good person who has been promoted by the public.
Mu En saw Chloe's slightly lonely figure, and he couldn't bear it, but he had more important things at the moment, so there was no way to communicate with her.
"Why don't the defectors gather?" Muen wondered.
"Who knows, but I heard - I heard that many cities in the empire are empty of garrison strength because of the requisition of labor in the new tower courtyard, so many evil magicians take advantage of the void, most of them are scattered and don't know what to do, I have a friend who is an official said that they may really engrave the nodes of the magic circle, but I think if there is such a situation in every corner of the empire, how big is the magic circle?" The temporary commander sat across from Muen, and he didn't underestimate the short man, even if the sorcerer was killed by the three of them together, such an ability was worthy of admiration.
"Alas, I don't know what the emperor thinks, just let the tower lord who is not old and decrepit mess around, don't you know how much pressure we are now, the food and salary are less, the rations are less, and even the holidays are less, it is four or five years at a time, who can stand this, if we want to change before, how can we be traitors?" another young soldier who looked a little dissatisfied leaned over and complained in a low voice.
"Nonsense! How dare you talk about emperors and saints! and want to eat military law?" the temporary commander raised his eyebrows and rebuked angrily.
The young soldier hurriedly pushed to the side and winked at Mu En, meaning that you don't have to be afraid, he is a fierce person.
Mu En smiled, but it was a little reluctant and perfunctory, and anyone who heard others say this about the teacher he respected would not feel too comfortable.
Having asked the question that she was eager to know, Muen sat down beside Chloe with a plate.
"Looks like you're not comfortable with it?" said Mu En with a gentle smile.
Chloe pouted, "It's okay, I just feel like they're too rude." ”
"Don't mind, I heard from my teacher that people who have been living under pressure and tension will unconsciously want to find a way to vent their boredom, otherwise there may be problems. ”
"It's okay, I'm not going to accuse them for that, I'm just avoiding it. ”
"You are a man of good family style. Mu En smiled, he thought this was a high evaluation, but he didn't expect Chloe to roll her eyes, as if to indicate that Mu En was talking nonsense.
"Won't you be afraid?" said Chloe after a moment.
Mu En didn't know why, and asked rhetorically, "What are you afraid of?"
"Dead Man...... Night...... A lot anyway. ”
He thought for a moment, and his smile brightened, "No, 'My friends are like solid mountains, and they stand at my side like my arms, so I believe that we will walk side by side to eternal glory, even if it is a road full of blood and thorns that will never stop.'" After speaking, he paused, as if he was expecting Chloe to say something, but unfortunately Chloe did not react, so he said this passage with a little loss from the chapter of the third generation of elf kings climbing over the snowy mountains to expel evil in the elven epic "Hymn to the Stars".
But Chloe did not seem satisfied with the answer, "But the Psalms of Acura do not help us to eliminate that ...... A feeling that is sick to your stomach. She was referring to the rotting corpse of yesterday.
"Ann...... Someone once told me that the extreme of fear is anger, I once saw a vampire attack in a village when I was out and saw that all the people in it, men, women, and children were sucked into dried corpses, and I was just scared at the time, but then every time I recalled that scene, I became angry. Afterward...... I've never felt so sad and angry, so now every time I see someone who is trying to hurt someone for fun or purpose, I want to kill him with all my might. As for the death, he deserved it. ”
Chloe's eyebrows drooped, and she was still a little depressed.
"I still feel like I'm a little hard to accept. ”
"I think it's good, a happy person probably never needs to accept or encounter such a thing. At the very least, it shows that you've been happy. ”
"Aren't you happy?"
"I ...... I don't know, I'm a little lost. Mu En stood up, and it turned out that he had finished his meal while he was talking.
Before the group set off again, Mu En instructed the temporary commander Dao that the jungle was very large, and since there was another nature that might be hiding in it, he could send some people to monitor the situation in the forest. The commander expressed his approval, and expressed hope and praise for the future of the trio.
"How many dry bones are buried in the mud frontier. Karna looked in the direction from which the branch had come and let out a rare sigh.
"I didn't expect you to have a time of hypocrisy. Mu En looked up and laughed.
"You don't understand! What I admire most is these people who are willing to imprison themselves in order to protect more people, not those aristocrats who only know pleasure by occupying resources with so-called power. ”
"I feel like if I don't kill you now, you will definitely rebel in the future. Mu En ignored him and continued to tease.
"Are you willing?"
"Don't talk about it so ambiguously, I don't like men. ”
Chloe was beside her, looking at the two boys, who were always full of happiness, and suddenly felt that her mood was a little better, and she covered her mouth and chuckled beside her.
