Chapter 393: The Darkness of Dawn

After listening to the legend of the Three Golden Methods, Lei Qi fell silent, and it wasn't until a long time later that he spoke: "Teacher, is the 'Frost Dynasty' mentioned by the Emperor Mage who escaped from the Ten Thousand Snakes Plane at the end a flower?"

"According to the results of the discussion of the Mage Council at that time, this possibility is indeed relatively high. The black-robed man nodded.

Then Leitch asked again: "The Frost Dynasty, the Red Rose, and the Blood Mandala are all a type of flower, I wonder if you know the connection between them, teacher?"

"There must be a connection, but as for the truth, I have no way of knowing. Hearing the black-robed man's answer, although this was also expected, Leqi couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Seeing that Lei Qi's demeanor looked very calm, the black-robed man couldn't help but look at him curiously, and said strangely: "I'm strange, you don't seem to be panicking?"

"Panic? Who said I wasn't panicking, in fact I panicked a lot. As he spoke, Leitch habitually made a shrug motion, but since he was tied to the bone cross at this time, his subconscious action was immediately forcibly stifled.

But the more Lei Qi was like this, the more curious the black-robed man became: "Lei Qi, you are a very smart young man, I don't need me to say that you also understand that the so-called ominous thing that happened to the Golden Three Methods is very likely to represent some kind of extremely powerful power! That kind of power, even the legendary powerhouse can't compete with! If you insist on taking the path of the Golden Law Path, then one day in the future, an ominous shadow will also fall on your head! So, smart you, can't you see the trade-off in the slightest?!"

"Trade-off?" Hearing this, Lei Qi was silent for a moment, and then the black-robed man heard him and smiled inexplicably, "So, teacher, please tell me, what is a safe path?

Lei Qi's words were undoubtedly hard to hear, and in the situation he said, the black-robed man was undoubtedly included, but the black-robed man was surprisingly lifeless, and he was also silent for a moment before he said faintly: "Leqi, you must understand that proper compromise does not mean that there is no backbone, but a kind of forbearance! Just like the golden Dharma path, it seems to have infinite possibilities, and even after reaching the limit, it will have unimaginable power for ordinary people, but the problem is that this path has been banned for now! No matter how unwilling you are, in the face of that kind of irresistible might, any struggle can only cause yourself to be shattered! If you lose even your life, what is the point of great hope?!"

"On the contrary, it is a wise choice to choose another path, although there is little hope in the allowed path, but I hope you will always remember one thing - magic has infinite possibilities! Even those irresistible forces that exist in the underworld cannot completely control the magical world! The fate of each of us mages is to find the glimmer of light that will light everything up in that cold and empty night!"

"Before the Three Golden Laws became the unprecedented Golden Sages, the Golden Dharma Path was not a so-called taboo; if we chose to retreat in the face of the so-called ominous shadow, then when the next taboo appeared, we would also choose to retreat! With each step back, we will be one step closer to the bottomless abyss, and in the end, we will fall into the bottomless dark abyss! Is this the magical freedom we are pursuing?" Lei Qi's demeanor was still calm, but for the first time, the black-robed man felt that Lei Qi's gaze falling on him was as sharp as a knife!

This time, the black-robed man was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "You should understand that the result of your persistence on this path will almost mean death!"

"Poseidon, the king of the sea, once said that a mage who is afraid of death is not a good mage. Leitch's demeanor was still calm, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a faint smile.

Poseidon, the king of the sea, is the younger brother of Adrian the Great, the prince of the empire, and the great sage of the water system with extraordinary talent, it is rumored that his attainments in water magic have almost reached the extreme level! In his life, he has made great achievements for the Faster Empire to conquer the endless sea, and even at that time, there was a deep sea royal family that repeatedly challenged the majesty of the empire, and was finally exterminated by Poseidon! Even Adrian the Great once praised him as the overlord of the sea, and promoted him from the duke to the high position of the prince, and canonized him as the king of the sea! And the first undersea crystal palace in the history of the Fast Empire was built under the command of Poseidon!

Since the black-robed man was active in Adrian's time, it is impossible for him not to have heard of Poseidon, the king of the sea!

"So in the end he died. ”

Speaking of this, Leitch could feel the hint of ridicule in the other party's words, which made him frown, and then said flatly: "At least in my opinion, he died like a hero!"

As for how Poseidon died in the end, there is no detailed record in the history books that Leitch was involved in, so Leitch only vaguely knew that he was finally killed in battle, and his final battlefield was the endless sea that he loved so much! As for why Leitch would consider him a hero, it stems from a sentence he said before he died - if I am destined to be a fish in the sea, then even if I can't breathe, I must have the moment to jump into the sky!

"If you're all dead, what's the point of the so-called freedom you're seeking?" the black-robed man suddenly said in an incomparably cold tone.

"Freedom or death!" This is Leitch's final answer, and it will become the most important creed of his life!

After a long while, the black-robed man said faintly: "What you said has no meaning until you are really faced with the choice between life and death, but at that time, once you have made your choice, then what you are saying now will also be meaningless. ”

After saying that, he and both of them fell silent, and for a moment, it seemed as if both of them had lost interest in talking.

I don't know how long it took for the black robe to speak: "Okay, there is not much time left, I can't just let you go so easily." ”

Leitch understood what the black-robed man was talking about, and he knew what the other party was going to do next, and at the same time, he had already deeply realized what kind of pain it would represent! But since he was powerless to resist, he should bear it silently, after all, not everyone can enjoy this kind of treatment (but, I really don't want this kind of special treatment-but the next moment, Leitch added this sentence hysterically in his heart...... ）！

Before moving the knife, the black-robed man suddenly said, "Leqi, since you want to be my student, then I'll give you this opportunity - if you can survive the rest of the time, then I'll take you as a student!"

Hearing this, Lei Qi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said in ecstasy: "Really?!"

Seeing that the black-robed man nodded slightly, Lei Qi immediately got carried away and shouted: "Then let the knife come more violently!"

This was originally just a subconscious slogan from Lei Qi (or pretending to be forced), but then he heard the black-robed man say lightly: "As you wish." ”

Feeling the smiling gaze of the black-robed man falling on him, Leitch couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth - damn, call you awesome, this awesome hair, right?!

On the other hand, not long after Leitch was sucked into the underworld space, the chaotic rocky beach, the Starmist Valley, and even the entire Dawn Valley began to undergo unimaginable changes—the black fog will cover the sky, and the prelude to darkness will begin to blow!

At first, the dense black fog that spread around the Chaotic Rocky Beach inexplicably contracted, which made those soldiers who didn't know the truth happy, and thought that this crisis was solved! But before they could cheer, they saw a huge sphere suddenly appear in the center of the Chaotic Rocky Beach—a fog ball formed by a completely black fog!

The black mist ball was about seven or eight meters above the ground, constantly spinning, and the black mist around it was constantly being sucked into it! Ordinary soldiers just thought that the black mist ball was very weird, but a genuine sage like Faun felt the terrifying aura contained inside the black mist ball, and even they couldn't help but change color!

This process lasted for about half an hour, and then the black fog ball stopped spinning, and then an incredible scene happened—the black fog ball began to slowly open towards the sky! Because of the height difference, it is of course impossible for ordinary soldiers to see this scene, but like Faun and the others, their huge spiritual power is imprisoned by some inexplicable force within a radius of ten meters of the black fog ball, except for what they can see with the naked eye, they are also unable to determine what is happening to the black fog ball at the moment.

Only Verdon, with his powerful spiritual power, saw the scene of the black mist ball opening his eyes, and then he saw the pupils with a white cross!

"Boom-"

Eventually, with an earth-shattering roar, a wolf-like pitch-black smoke rushed straight into the air, and then exploded like an exploding atomic bomb! Immediately after, like ink dripping into clear water, this black mist began to spread towards the entire Star Mist Valley, and even the entire Dawn Valley at an unimaginable speed!

"Hey, what's going on, why is it suddenly dark?!" Thousands of miles away, a small fish vendor in the business district of Tianshuang City let out an exclamation, and then the exclamations continued, and finally these exclamations gradually changed from surprise to horror!

Thousands of miles away, Abyss City is shrouded in black mist!

Thousands of miles away, Dawson Free Federation Golden Flower City and Giant Wood City are nowhere to be seen, the Holy Lauland Empire's Soridan County is out of sight, and only those bewitching red magic crystals on the walls of the Red Demon Empire are left with a slight glow!

Thousands of miles away, the Duchess Catherine, who was in charge of the affairs of the territory, rose from the throne in shock, the death knight accidentally shattered the blood glass wine glass in his hand, and a pair of scarlet eyes opened in the depths of the crystal city!

……

The heavens and the earth suddenly changed, the storm suddenly rose, and the prelude to the outbreak of the black tide began to play;
