Chapter 182: The Oath of Rage
Turning to see the tall figure with the blood-colored sword on his back outside the empty gate, especially the extremely gloomy expression on his already cold face, Marcus almost fell to his knees as soon as his legs went limp.
"Minerma!" exclaimed Morin.
Even he instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and what had been a cry of surprise turned into consternation.
Because this powerful female warrior looks extremely angry at the moment.
Extremely angry!
If Marcus could still speak now, he would tremble and tell Merlin to run for his life, how far he could, and never turn back!
Judging from the years of experience he has accumulated since he was a child, his elder sister's anger at this time has reached a rare level five, which is roughly equivalent to all the anger accumulated by her five days of not being able to take a bath, and in this state, even Grand Duke Maple Leaf will subconsciously keep enough distance from her elder sister for her own safety.
Oh no, it's supposed to be level seven rage!
When he saw that wisps of pale blue frost began to condense on his sister's golden hair, Marcas decisively raised his assessment by two levels, and at the same time began to cry desperately in his heart: Oh my God! Seven, the seventh level angry old sister! The moon god is on top!!How far is the safe distance under the seventh level of anger?!! a hundred meters or two hundred meters?!!
For a moment, he finally remembered in despair.
He remembered the assessment he had made with his two brothers when he was a child—two hundred meters was a safe distance for level six rage, and when Minelma reached the terrifying level seven of rage, the safe distance was meaningless, and only a powerful magical barrier and rune shield could temporarily keep him safe.
But now, the sunken wood door panel engraved with the magic enchantment has been killed, and his only life-saving rune [Yuta Shield] was destroyed and scrapped by Faith at the end of the last period.
It's really dead now!It's hopeless!!It's cold!!
Marcus thought desperately.
Looking at Minerma's gloomy face, he even felt that at this moment he had awakened the legendary sense of death - it is said that at the moment of life and death, the spiritual power of living beings will suddenly burst into view, and everything around them will be taken into view, as if time has slowed down.
He saw Tierna's shiny silver cheeks and the wavy curls dyed blue hanging from her forehead, the warlike admiration on Barron's face and the muscles on her arms, the money bag that Aeno subconsciously protected her full of gold coins but was not worth much, and the little black hidden in Morin's collar, its two small green eyes widened like hell and turned into a stream of fire that drilled back into the ring mark on Maureen's hand.
He didn't even have to look back to "see" the seniors around Professor Honorom behind him, and discern the surprise on each of their faces.
If only I had such a deep sense of perception in my daily life, I appreciated it before...... When the scenery is over, it will not be blocked by the sudden sitting of Morin...... Marcus couldn't help but think.
But how did you offend my sister?
Having been able to stimulate the old lady to an unheard-of seventh-level anger state, and make her so excited to kill Iluvita to settle accounts with him, Marcas never realized that he actually had such a huge amount of energy.
Obviously, the relationship with my sister is pretty good during this time......
During the summer vacation, when her father removed himself from the heirship, she comforted herself unprecedentedly, and later wrote to her during the exchange at Victor College, asking her to help investigate whether Speaker Augustus had colluded with the deceased, and she did not refuse, and she never dared to forget to greet her during the New Year's holidays in the past two years.
Obviously, he wrote a long letter to her just a few days ago.
In the letter, he gave a detailed account of his life in Iluvita this semester, and attached to the letter a mechanical drawing that he had carefully drawn - a multi-faceted dismantling diagram of a complex third-order vibratory cutter to show his progress in the field of magical machinery.
He had expected to receive a brief reply from the elder sister in the next few days, and maybe it would be longer—if she made progress in her investigation of Speaker Augustus, he would be able to surprise Eminor.
Maybe another not-so-intriguing compliment on the letter will satisfy you.
I didn't expect the letter to come, but I waited for the crazy old lady herself.
Don't...... Could it be that the old lady thinks that her letter is too long-winded...... Marcus wanted to cry without tears, but there was no need to be so angry, right?
He looked at the sunken wooden door panel engraved with the magic enchantment on the ground that had died on the ground, and the deep shoe print on it, thinking that with his body, he would use Saurorumi's super hydraulic press machine to press ten of himself together, and it was estimated that he would also be pierced by a foot.
Or the ending of being split in half by a sword.
Although they were not embarrassed to tell Merlin and them, Minerma's blood-colored greatsword had always been a nightmare for Marcas.
He remembered that in the summer when he was eight years old, when his elder sister came home from vacation from the Imperial Academy of Gessock, it was the first time he saw the blood-colored greatsword, which was thrown from the sky by Minerma like a show-off, whirling and whirling in front of him, and the hard black stone floor was easily cut like tofu, and the cut seemed to be stained with the dried blood of the great sword.
Since then, Marcas has often dreamed of being split in half by the great sword.
Now it seems that it is about to come true......
"Old, old lady...... We've got something to say......" Marcas pleaded in a weeping voice.
Minelma didn't speak, she looked down at the boot on her right foot that had been torn by herself, her eyes froze, and the next moment the broken boot was crushed by an invisible blade along with the other on her left foot, the leather cracked and the cloth flew, the inky trouser corners were loose and slightly undulating, she stood barefoot and took two steps forward, stepping over the door panel of the dead and lying corpses.
The classroom suddenly became cold, and a thin layer of hoarfrost began to spread from under her feet to the surroundings.
Marcas's crying was even heavier: "For the sake of my sister and brother for so many years...... How should I give a way out......"
Minerma was indifferent and took two more steps forward.
"Oh no, I was wrong, old lady, I don't want to live, I just want to leave a whole corpse ......"
Eventually, Marcus felt himself surrounded by the breath of frost, as if he would freeze into an ice sculpture in the next moment—in that case, he would be able to leave a whole corpse.
But Minerma wielded the blood-colored greatsword.
"Wow, I'm dead!" Marcus wailed with his eyes closed.
- He was slapped aside by the greatsword and slumped against Morin, his eyes still closed.
Minelma, on the other hand, looked up at the ranger on the podium, surrounded by several senior girls.
"O, No, Ro, !!"
She said through gritted teeth.
……
Merlin was forced to start using his half-baked [Protective Cover], and the pair of ears on his head that had just been frostbitten during Professor Hammer's class were destroyed again after half a day.
It's too cold in the classroom at the moment.
The frost that stretched from Benelma's feet covered almost all the floors and display cases, and was rapidly spreading along the walls to the ceiling overhead, and soon the frost beneath her feet began to form deep blue ice crystal patterns, accompanied by the sound of rustling, exuding a beautiful and deadly aura of danger.
Judging from the dark blue ice crystal pattern, Merlin estimated that Minerma should have successfully crossed the earthly line to advance to the Great Warrior, so that she could achieve the effect of the three-ring magic [Deep Cold Ice Breath] in Professor Hammer's class around her body with the magical aura she emitted.
Seeing that the ice crystal patterns began to bloom, the young man hurriedly mobilized his magic power desperately.
Perhaps it was just a mistake, or maybe Minerma was much more oppressive than Professor Hammer, but this time Merlin finally managed to weave a complete magical cover, a transparent magical layer of cold protection covering his body like clothing—including the pair of ears that were exposed and coated with hot frostbite ointment.
The whole world seemed to warm up all at once.
The boy was heartily reimpressed with Professor Hammer's lessons—in such a situation, if he pulled out a magic card for warmth or protection and activated it, it would obviously attract unwanted attention, and Baron Pike's years of teaching him understood that it was definitely the way to die.
Although he didn't have Marcas's experience and accurate rage rating, he knew that even if he didn't freeze his ears at this moment, he would never let Minerma's sharp gaze fall on him, and the last place where her gaze had rested - the pair of boots that had been reduced to shreds clearly showed the end of being too attention-grabbing.
The boy stood motionless, not daring to gasp.
Xiao Hei also hid in the ring marks and shivered.
Marcus still collapsed on top of him with his eyes closed and pretended to be dead - only those who really thought they were dead would not quietly but quickly and skillfully weave the [cold cover] , but he couldn't throw him to the ground at the moment to make too much noise, Morin had to follow Aeminor's technique and quietly pinched Marcas's arm and gradually increased his strength, hoping that this soft mud monster-like guy could stand up on his own, but the always delicate Gessok boy showed amazing endurance at this time, except for a slight twitch of his eyebrows, he still remained motionless and fell softly on Morin's body, and he would rather be strangled to death than never resurrected, so that the young man was helpless.
He could only hold Marcas's corpse while looking at the situation in front of him, which confused him.
Why would Minelma be so angry with Professor Honorom?
The female warrior had just uttered Uncle Ranger's name word by word, and Merlin was sure that he had heard him correctly.
He remembered the first time he saw the two of them in the tavern of White City, the sharp and eye-catching Minelma and the gentle and uncharacteristic Honorom, the two of them sat at the same table with him, and he didn't know that the two were on a mission at the temple to track down suspicious clues about the fire of Lothar, and he didn't know that he would be inexplicably tied up in the Gundi Forest by the vicious-looking old man who belonged to the former Eye Organization, and was involved in the series of events that followed.
At that time, he had wondered why the two men who were so different from each other were on a mission together—they were at odds with each other, and their styles were so different, especially Minelma, who had a temper that almost disagreed, and was quite dissatisfied with Honorom's low-key behavior.
If that were the time, it would be understandable that the female warrior would be angry with Professor Honorom.
But then Uncle Ranger tracked the old man into the Chaos Forest and disappeared, and there was no news for a whole year, during which time Minelma made no more efforts, and Morin Ke saw how much effort he made: looking for support in the temple, coming to Iluvita to communicate in order to get first-hand information, painstakingly reporting the situation to Dean Fielding, and after he found clues, he pursued them independently, and finally single-handedly stopped the powerful Professor Feth from escaping, and tried to protect the safety of several of them in the other party's trap.
Marcus even said that she trained like crazy for a whole year, and even her personality was much calmer.
Now that Professor Honorom has returned safely, she has come to the door as if seeking revenge.
At the moment, Minelma was staring at Honorom, but the Ranger Uncle on the podium had a calm face, and there was no surprise.
"I heard that you studied here for a year last year, and I thought you would make a difference about our Iluvita Academy," he said with a gentle smile and a slightly hoarse voice.
"This door panel that you kicked down is an antique from the Second Age, it is said that it is based on the unique sun tree of the Griffon Dynasty, and it is difficult to say whether you can find one in the entire continent now, Professor Wang Del wanted to spend a lot of money to buy it to make a wand, but the dean didn't sell it, and now you kicked out a shoe print Fielding is going to die of distress. ”
"That old fellow......" Hearing Fielding's name, Minelma's face was gloomy again.
She threw out the blood-colored greatsword in her hand, and the blade spun and roared and fell behind her, slicing into the door panel where the corpse lay on it like tofu.
"That's what it was back then!" Marcus shuddered, as he lay on Morin's body.
"Shhh
"Why," Minerma, who had thrown away her great sword, lowered her hands to her side and clenched her fists fiercely: "You want to hide from me about your return?!"
"Hmm, didn't Captain Raymond tell you that I was back from the Black Forest?" Honorrom was a little surprised: "Then how did you know that I was back in Iluvita?"
"Marcus mentioned in the letter to me. Minerma said coldly.
Marcas, who was lying on the corpse, trembled again when he heard his name.
Honorom glanced at Marcus lying on the corpse, as if amused by him, and the corners of his shallow bearded mouth showed a smile again: "If Captain Raymond doesn't tell you the relevant information, it means that he doesn't think you need to know, as a reserve member of the law enforcement team, you should understand this truth." ”
"I don't care what Captain Raymond thinks, since you're back from the Black Forest, shouldn't you write a personal letter to—" Minelma seemed so angry that she couldn't finish a sentence before she could finish it. She breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly, "What about our tracking mission, what happened to you chasing into the Gangdi Forest?"
Her gaze swept over the girls beside Honorom, and her face became even more gloomy.
"Get out of here if it's irrelevant!" she said in a deep voice.
But the senior sisters were much tougher than Marcus who was pretending to be dead, and they didn't change their colors under Minelma's sharp gaze, and they all glared back one by one.
Even if the other party came here to exchange for a whole year last year, and left a lot of prestige, even if she was also qualified to enter and leave this academy freely, she was half of Iluvita's student, but why was she like this?
More importantly, why are you talking to Professor Honorome in such a tone?!
They still have a lot of questions to ask!
For a while, the cold was pressing, and the swords were tense.
Of course, there are also extremely happy ones.
For example, Marcus, who was pretending to be dead, was like being pardoned after hearing the old lady's order, and he immediately moved his shoulders and motioned for Morin to hurry up and get out of the way with his corpse. Morin instinctively wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but he was too interested in Uncle Ranger's pursuit in the Black Forest, and he couldn't take a step for a while.
Tierna Barron and Aeno saw that they were not moving, and they all stood still with wide eyes.
"Let's go here for this Q&A, and I'll talk about it after the next class if I have any questions. Honorom waved his hand and motioned for the surrounding students to leave the specimen classroom first: "Morin, you guys stay for a while." ”
Feeling that Morin was not moving, and was making up his mind to resurrect himself, and then quickly rolled out of the classroom, Marcas's body stiffened and collapsed on Morin again.
It's better to be dead now......
Seeing that the professor said this, the girls didn't speak again, and came out one by one with Minelma. Although they didn't dare to hit the body of a big warrior with brute force, it didn't prevent them from stepping on the dark blue ice crystal patterns on the floor around the other party, anyway, it was just an ice crystal formed by Minelma's magical breath, although it could freeze Marcas into a popsicle, but it was not a threat to them.
Even the last sixth-grade senior sister of the Classical Mage School who left the classroom somehow used Minerma's frost white to leave three big words on the ground - crazy woman, which almost made Minerma's anger even higher.
Maureen began to regret that he hadn't slipped away in the first place.
The young man couldn't help but start counting down this ranger uncle in his heart, you said that you came back from the Black Forest in a dignified manner, and it was no wonder that people were angry if you didn't write a letter to tell your partner to report that you were safe. Besides, don't you know the temper of this eldest lady, it's good now, maybe you have to take your own people to suffer together.
"I've written down the details of the tracking mission in the mission report I handed in," Honorom began, "Didn't you go through our mission files before you came? ”
"I didn't come to hear you tell me this nonsense!!, why didn't you catch him?!" asked Minelma solemnly.
Honorome frowned slightly: "I don't think I can stop a high-level mage who is bent on returning to the embrace of the moon god, maybe there are some ways to search for memories in the banned black magic or advanced death or life magic, but that's not my area of expertise, and I've also gained quite a bit of valuable content, which is detailed in the mission report-"
"You think you can fool me with that stuff that fools other people?!The stuff in your report doesn't add up to as valuable as what Morin got last semester!!" Minelma almost began to growl.
Marcas, who was pretending to be dead, turned white all of a sudden, and stabbed him with a finger on the back of Morin's shoulder, signaling him to hurry up and run away, it would be too late if he didn't run.
"Oh," said Honorome, who was as motionless as a bell, with a pleased smile, "Captain Raymond showed me the summary of the mission you handed in as soon as I came back a few months ago, and you did a good job last year. ”
"Well done?haha?" Seeming to hear the funniest joke in the world, Minerma laughed: "Can you bring it over with a simple good job?!"
"Where were you when I was isolated in the Nature Temple?"
"Where were you when I was in Fielding's old fellow's office begging him for help?"
"Where were you when I was outside the office of the cultist Firth in heavy armor and kept watch day and night?!"
"Where were you when I was fighting to the death with Fez, Morin and them helplessly hiding in shields, life and death hanging by a thread?!!
Honorom sighed softly, "I'm lost in the Black Forest—"
"You're lost in the Black Forest!" Mynierma roared.
She pulled out her big sword suddenly, and a circle of bright silver ice crystals exploded outside the blood-colored sword: "For a whole year, you actually said that you were lost in the Black Forest!!
Circles of dark blue ice crystals regrew beneath her feet, and she held the hilt of her sword against her side, her head bowed in the shadows, her chest heaving violently, as if trying to suppress her anger.
After a while, she finally spoke slowly:
"I don't believe in ......"
Minerma turned her hand and raised her greatsword, and the dark blue ice breath burned like a scorching flame.
She raised her head, looked at Honorom, who was still mild-faced, and said heavily, "Maybe what you said is true, but I don't believe it. ”
"I don't believe what you say, I don't believe the report you handed in, I will go to verify, use all my resources to verify, if you hide something, whatever you hide, I, the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Maple Leaf, the youngest member of the Holy Law Enforcement Team, the sword wielder of the sky, Minelma. ”
"I swear I'll find out......"
