Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 54 The Keeper of the Repository

"Wait, that's ...... Mentor Yvette?!"

Before Lilith's exclamation sounded in his ears, Roger was already staring at the illusory figure with a solemn expression, his body tensed slightly, and the tip of the staff in his hand was hazy and blurred, which was an optical phenomenon caused by the condensation of rich arcane energy in an instant.

Roger, who had not exhausted his strength even in the face of Fitz, was like a great enemy at the moment, sweat broke out from the corners of his forehead, and several magical magic models were sketched in his mind, and the manic arcane torrent was already ready to be prepared.

It wasn't that Roger was overly nervous, he couldn't detect any trace of the breath of the living from that psychedelic figure, but as soon as it appeared, it showed a strong hostility, making Roger feel as if he was locked by a murderous high-level demonic beast, and the hairs on his body stood up all at once.

"No, no, I can't feel the magic characteristics of the higher ranks, it's ...... It's still second-order!But it's really infinitely close to the realm of the Magus! What the hell is going on?"

Of course, no one present was able to respond to Roger's question, and the next moment, under Roger's nervous gaze, the illusory figure suspended on the ground opened his eyes, which were only pure white eyes, pure white to the strange flow of eyes, as if there was a flash of electric light.

As 'it' opened its eyes, the illusory form crossed the boundaries of matter, and the surging collection of free magical elements in the air condensed into its shell in the blink of an eye, during which even Roger did not dare to act rashly.

When the storm surge-like magic surge was over, 'it' moved its newborn body, coldly scanning everything in front of it, and when it touched Roger and the others, especially after seeing the staff in Roger's hand, even if Roger and the others were on the ground, they could hear the cold snort clearly.

Without words, without hesitation, 'it' raised its right hand expressionlessly or with a hint of disgust, and its slender fingers poked into the door of light above its head, holding it as if to guide something of it to this world.

"Wait a minute, we don't have ...... No, attack it! Don't let the things in the light gate come out!" Roger, sensing that something was wrong, shouted loudly and hurriedly.

From the faint aura behind the door of light, he felt some familiar but dangerous fluctuations of magic, which represented the mark engraved in the depths of his soul, and the name of this mark was, despair.

Even after countless rebirths, Roger lost a considerable part of his memories, but his keen instinct still made him deeply frightened by that magic fluctuation, which was definitely not a magic that should be in the here and now, the magic behind the light gate seemed to have killed Roger!

Just when the atmosphere of slaughter was permeated between heaven and earth, at the moment when everyone was tense, a soft and glutinous 'coo' sounded suddenly in mid-air, disrupting everyone's thoughts.

Aisha, who was floating in mid-air, was closest to the phantom that suspected to be Yvette, it twisted its round body and turned around a few times, and unexpectedly felt some closeness on the phantom, it didn't care so much about the simplicity of its mind, almost without any hesitation, Aisha called happily, and the milk swallow flew to the phantom like a thrower, and plunged into the phantom's arms, and the scene stiffened with embarrassment for a while.

For the little guy who crashed into his arms and was moving, the phantom hesitated for a moment, his pure white eyes moved slightly, as if the memory that was so long ago that it was shattered made it recognize Aisha's appearance, and the pure white and cold eyes suddenly softened, revealing a different kind of look, and the slender jade hand that had already probed into the light gate was also retracted.

"Ai ...... Elsa?" 'It' made a jerky sound, and after receiving the little one's coquettish response, 'it's' gaze completely softened, and the terrifying aura that locked on the people of the True Knowing Guild also dissipated abruptly, and everyone, including Lilith, collapsed and lay on the ground, cold sweat had already soaked the clothes behind their backs.

"Half-elf, that ...... What the hell is a thing? I saw a lot of fourth- and fifth-order guys back then, and I ...... them all It's never been so embarrassing. Elway's breathing was a little uneven, and he sat on the ground with his limbs spread out and the word 'big', wiping the sweat on his forehead and asking with a scared face.

Look at that Roger is not much better, the bean-sized beads of sweat are dripping onto the ground, leaving a mess of water stains, presumably just barely standing for the sake of face.

He held the staff in both hands and gasped, combing through the flow of mana in a chaotic physical force, before he said angrily: "How do I know, it seems to be some kind of magical creature, itself is probably a third-order strength, there is nothing to be afraid of, the real threat is the magic it wanted to summon from behind the light gate just now, no accident, it is probably a forbidden spell-level magic." ”

Roger first scared Alway in a deep voice, and then raised his eyebrows, "But since it looks like that, and knows Elsa, I'm afraid it can't get rid of Yvette, but fortunately it didn't really do it just now...... Hey, it's down, you ask it to go yourself. ”

"Hehe, I'm not stupid, and it looks like it's coming for you. Seeing that the phantom stepped down step by step from mid-air, heading straight for Roger, Elway, who was still limp on the ground, suddenly jumped up, flashed to the side like a nobody, and didn't forget to wave his hand to Roger 'cheer', "Half-elf, come on, I'll give you spiritual encouragement!"

"Sooner or later, I'll tear down all your bone racks and feed them to the wild dogs. Greeting Elway in a low voice, Roger wiped the sweat from his face, and still gathered his mind to face the phantom that had come to him.

It was only when he got closer that Roger had time to take a closer look at the phantom with the appearance of Yvette, except for the pure white eyes, which were the image of an ordinary female magician, wearing the light blue standard robe of the Federation, and the long brown hair draped over the shoulders, it was not outstanding, it belonged to the type that was unrecognizable when thrown into the pile, but at first glance, it looked a little similar to Lilith.

At the same time, 'it' was obviously also observing Roger, and the magic power of the colossus walked up and down Roger's body unscrupulously, as if it wanted to detect some details from him, which was very impolite among mages, but it did not cause Roger's dissatisfaction, but he turned his face away with a red face, looking like a girl who was afraid of being embarrassed to leave the cabinet, "Sister, don't be like this, you have seen it, and you won't be able to marry in the future." ”

"Second goods, Roger, can you be serious!" Elway, who was watching secretly, was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside by Roger's operation, and he couldn't spit it out when he held it in his mouth, covering his eyes and looking away, with an expression that couldn't bear to look directly.

Obviously, the phantom had never seen Roger's shameless person, and he was speechless for a moment.

It reluctantly withdrew its magic to spy on Roger, and its voice was as if it were synthesized electronically, without any emotion, "Where did you get this staff? What are you here for the 'Sunrise Shelter'? and, where is that traitor Fitz!"

"That, it seems that your teacher is a little impatient, Lilith, you know each other, you can explain it to her. Roger, who was still shy just now, pulled Lilith who came up next to him, and pushed her to the phantom with a confused expression, and he also shrank behind Lilith.

was suddenly pushed out by Roger's unreliable guy, and Lilith, no matter how good-tempered she was, couldn't help but roll her eyes, very speechless, she had never seen such an unreliable mentor.

But no matter what, Lilith still collected her mood and wanted to answer Yvette's tutor's question, after all, she also wanted to know what happened to bring the mentor back to life, but 'it's' look at a stranger made Lilith's heart tighten, and she couldn't help asking, "Mentor? Don't you remember me? I'm Lilith, and you gave me this name, symbolizing the hazy night." ”

"No identifiable data, no meaningful code. ”

Responding dryly, it shook its head at Lilith's disappointed gaze and continued in a flat tone, "I'm afraid the mentor you're talking about is the 'Mother', a second-order mage named Yvette Adrian, and I'm the Arcane Servant she created to guard the vault codenamed 'Dawn'. ”

"Alley. The illusory figure softly spat out the name.

"Sure enough, it's an arcane demon servant created by soul splitting, and I should have thought of it when I saw Fina's name from those notes, Grand Magician of the Sanctuary, Soul Shepherd Fina!" Roger's eyes rolled and he thought to himself, "I didn't expect Yvette to be that Fina's student." ”

Soul splitting, at first glance, may sound very similar to the school of cultivation that the dark wizard Aaron used to strengthen illusions, both by dismantling souls, but in fact, these are two completely different theories of magic.

Unlike the Narkison school, which hurts one's own soul for many years, Soul Splitting is a unique magical theory developed by Fina, the core of which is to create a soul that is completely consistent with one's own soul through magic, which sounds incredible, and will also lead to an interesting philosophical question, when there is a soul that is completely consistent with yours, what is the perception of self? You know, for a somewhat idealistic craft like magic, sometimes the degree of cognition can also represent power.

Soul Shepherd Fina didn't give an answer to this, but her attitude can be seen in her act of merging her soul split into the Arcane Servant.

Regardless, thanks to the magical theory of Soul Splitting, countless Arcane Servants eventually propelled Fina to the seat of the Adjudicator of the Pan-Continental Mage Federation, and became one of the most prestigious mage legends of the century. Since Yvette was a disciple of that one, it was not surprising that she had learned Fina's soul splitting technique.
