"Captain, what's going on here・・・・・・・・・ don't be kidding, this kind of Cheng dù's magic remnants ・・・・・・・・ have such an evil aura・・・・・・・・・"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's not a joke!" the three knights approached the 'traces' left by the young man in the forest. A huge pit blasted out by a punch, and the residual breath of the magic when it was released.

"Is such an evil power really magical? I have never heard of it, such a huge amount, even the old man has never experienced it. Just the residual magic can make me unable to lift the battle at all. One of the knights was trembling with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"Everton, collect a little of the magic and soil that remains nearby. I have to go back and report to the old man first, we may be in trouble, such a terrible magic, it is very likely that something has awakened. You're going to be back as soon as you're done, you know?"

"Yes!"

"Lord Curia, we've found this man in the corner of the forest!" shouted a knight in the distance, riding a horse, and on horseback lay a teenager who had died of hunger and had not eaten in time.

"The corpse? no wounds, did it die of natural causes・・・・・・・・・ and it didn't look like a traveler, it seemed like a slave ・・・・・・・・・・" Kuria slowly lowered the corpse on horseback to the ground.

"Uh-huh, it's!" When Kuria lifted the corpse's clothes, he found a slave-like tattoo on the boy's chest, and there were still some traces of dark magic transformation on his body.

"Could it be that there is a black mage in the vicinity?!" Kuria hurriedly got up, he suddenly remembered the unfamiliar face he saw in front of the city gate of Alista, if he was the black mage, this qiē can show that this slave boy is the actual product of the black mage, and the evil aura that shrouded this forest before must have been made by the black mage.

The corpses of those synthetic beasts found on the avenue before are probably also the masterpieces of that black magician, although I don't know who killed them, but if a black magician is allowed to enter the city of ten thousand people・・・・・・・・・・・・ the consequences are simply unimaginable!

"Quick! Let's go back!"

"Lord Curia?" the other knights looked at Curia with a look of horror.

"There is no need to collect these things, maybe without us knowing, an evil black mage has invaded Alista!"

Kuria's words made the faces of everyone present change, and they didn't even care about what they were doing, and hurriedly rode their horses and ran in the direction of Alista!

At the same time, in Alista's Adventurer's Inn, the young man who did not have this world currency was lying on the table with some worry, he had just exchanged his alchemical items as collateral for a month of living in a single room and free drinks, but he could not change his penniless state at this time.

"What, it's not a way for you to worry about it all the time, don't you still have some alchemy items on you? Isn't it okay to sell them? I think there will be a lot of people who buy them. The red-haired man said so, the alchemy item that was just given to him as a mortgage was a box that could emit a lullaby, and the young man also heard the red-haired man say that he had been suffering from insomnia recently, so he took out this mortgage, otherwise you think that just one alchemy item can be exchanged for a month's residency and free drinks?

"No, I just feel a little tired, I want to rest and can't sleep・・・・・・・・・・ the young man picked up the wooden wine glass on the side, and looked at the wine glass with a slightly complicated look at the wine glass that was constantly soaking white.

"I know that you travelers are people with stories, but people just have to look forward to the future, so that they can move forward, right?!" The young man looked at the red-haired man with some surprise, he didn't expect him to say such a philosophical sentence, maybe the red-haired man in the young man's impression is a sloppy innkeeper~

"Pss

"Well・・・・・・・ yes but no, it's actually in the book, I just wrote it down by chance when I went to the library・・・・・・・・" The red-haired man scratched his head and said with an embarrassed expression.

"Oh~Where is that library?Just to pass the time, maybe reading a book will make me fall asleep~" The young man smiled.

"What do you think of books~ lullaby?" the red-haired man said angrily.

"Haha~ It doesn't matter, books are just for reading, aren't they, since it's a library, there should be a lot of books!"

"Well, indeed, if you really plan to go to the library, turn right from this street until a weapons shop, and you will arrive at a library like a noble mansion~ It will definitely surprise you!" said the red-haired man with a proud face.

"Oh~ Then I should go and see it, one of the pastimes after the trip. ”

"Oh, that's right, don't be too loud when you get to the library, the old man will be angry, I guess you don't want to bear the wrath of a great magician~"

"I see!" said the young man before leaving, but ・・・・・・・・・

Great mage, although there is no clear hierarchy in my world, only those mages who are half a hundred years old and have reached the fourth page of the mage tower are qualified to call themselves great mages!

(Note: The Mage Tower in that world is divided into ten pages, from the first page is the apprentice, the second page is the magician, the third page is the magician, the fourth page is the great magician, the fifth page is the magician, the sixth page is the great magician, the seventh page is the magician, the eighth page is the great magician, and the six-member council of the ninth page of the strongest human race, and finally the pseudo-god who transcends the concept of magic and enters the divine realm on the tenth page!

――――In front of the city gate of Alista――

"Lord Curia, why did you come back so soon?" asked the guard at the gate of the city with a puzzled look on his face.

"Where is that guy?!" asked Kuria, hurriedly dismounting, grabbing the guard.

"Ku・・・・・・ Lord Kuria, what ・・・・・・・ ・・・・・・・・ that person?" said the guard with a panicked expression.

"It's the dark mage you put into the city!! Curia yelled, furious enough to slap the cosy guard in front of him!

"Black Mage ・・・・・・・・・・・" The guard's face instantly turned blue at the thought of the young man who had been put into Alista by himself today.

"Damn!" a furious Curia threw the guard to the ground before he could react.

"Lord Curia, please don't lose your mind because of anger, that dark mage has only just entered Alista for a long time, and if it is a large black magic, it will definitely take a long time to prepare, so we can find him quickly!" said the mage who followed the knight.

"Phew~Okay! I see, so where should we go now?" Kuria, who had calmed down, turned to the magician and asked without looking at the guard who had collapsed on the ground.

"The library, it's the most important place in the city, he's definitely going there!"

"Let's go!" Curia shouted without hesitation.

"Yes, Lord Curia!" the knights mounted their horses and hurried in the direction of the library, riding faster than the young men who walked.

"Dark mage・・・・・・・・ what the hell have I done!!" The desperate guard muttered to his knees, because the blow was so great that he didn't notice a dark shadow creeping past him and into Alista・・・・・・・・・・・・

"Hmph~ This city is still very good, although there are fewer people in the afternoon, but it must be a different scenery at night~"

The young man carefully observed the surrounding buildings and walked slowly towards the library step by step.

"Yes, under your black magic, the night must be a different view!

With an angry roar and a condensation of fighting energy, a huge knight's sword suddenly appeared behind the young man, slashing towards the young man's heavenly spirit cover, and in just a second, the young man's body would be split in half!

Rumble!!!

The big sword slashed on the road, a large crater with a radius of two meters, and the smoke and dust raised made it impossible to see the situation inside, but it was known that the attacker was the guardian of the city - Kuria!

"Why are you attacking me?!" the young man who slowly landed on the roof next to him frowned slightly.

"Why? Those synths outside the city are your work!" said Kuria with a sneering expression.

"So what?" the young man thought that Kuria was talking about the one who killed the synth, so he didn't hesitate to admit it.

This can be said to be a misunderstanding of language, and if this upright knight-sama had made his words clear, there would have been no such misunderstanding.

"Then I can't keep you!" Dark Mage !!!"

The cyan blue fighting qi roared, and the air was rolled into a spiral tornado, and Kuria, who was holding the knight's greatsword in one hand, wrapped the wind formed by the fighting qi around the greatsword, making it look like a huge knight's spear!

"Dark mage?" The young man didn't care about the knight's spear in Curia's hand, which used a knight's sword and a fighting spirit, but noticed the black mage in Curia's mouth, a profession that seemed to be a branch of magician, but it didn't seem to be well received.

"Die!"

When the young man reacted, the sharp tip of the vindictive gun had already come to him, and the vindictive wind was so sharp that it even scratched his cheek, if he hadn't dodged in time, otherwise he would have been shot in the head by a 'gun' in the next moment, although he would not die, but things would have become more troublesome (when he recovered, it was like a mass of black mud constantly wriggling, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a human being)!

It didn't take long for the wound on his cheek to heal, after all, under this human skin was the evil thoughts of the world, and it would be strange if the wound was not restored.

"Sure enough, ・・・・・・・・・ the black mage has transformed his own body?" Kuria, who saw the wound on the young man's face instantly recovered, was even more convinced in his heart that the young man was the black mage, and he was also an evil black mage who dared to transform his body!
