Tatar was already two hundred and three years old, and after one hundred and ninety years of cultivation, he had been promoted to the rank of Great Magician last month, with a red badge of glory on his chest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

What a deep red, what a wonderful red, like the sunset, like a beautiful rose, so bright, so noble.

He is the only great magician in the small town of Czechoslovakia, and is admired by everyone, like a lord. But he gave up the comfortable life of his hometown, and traveled long distances to Famagus, the King of Light was on it, this time the journey was 20,000 miles, and Tatar had never been so far out of the door in his life, even with the guidance of a map, he still took the wrong road again and again, and the old legs were almost broken.

Along the way, he encountered cunning goblins, murderous monsters, resentful blood demons and filthy and ugly ogres, the biggest crisis occurred in the psychedelic river, he almost got lost in the warm flowing river, fortunately under the protection of the light and gods, managed to get out of danger, and stood alive outside the ancient and tall city of Famagus.

"Teacher Tatar, is this the city of Famagus?" A crisp voice came from behind.

It was a little girl who spoke, in fact, she was not too small, she was already an adult, but her appearance was very immature, and with her short stature and freckles on her face, she looked like a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. She was dressed in a gray magic robe, and she was long and dragged on the ground, covered in dust and grass clippings, and looked dirty like a small loach because she had nowhere to freshen up after the long journey.

"Yes, Britney, this is Famagus."

Tatar smiled kindly.

Britney is her only disciple and has mediocre qualifications. Many years ago, on a cold winter night, the kind-hearted Tatar picked her up on the side of the road, and the young girl's big, aggrieved and helpless eyes were very pleasing and took her in. He was alone, without a wife and children, and devoted all his energy to magic, but when he was old, he was extremely lonely, so he gave all his father's love for the first half of his life to Britney.

The old and the young get along very well. Britney is curious about magic and has a natural interest - although magic is a symbol of honor, some vulgar people just don't like it, they think that the sword and fighting spirit are king, and they firmly believe that one day they will carry it forward and ban the status of magic. In Tatar's opinion, this was unforgivable blasphemy, and those heretics should be burned alive at the stake. Luckily, Britney is a sensible girl who respects and worships magic, which makes him happy, and he has inherited the mantle of many years.

About half a year ago, Tatar began to have a strange dream, dreaming of an unusually thin man, the other party's appearance is very peculiar, even unforgettable, even if he wakes up from the dream, he will remember clearly, the most impressive thing is the pair of fiery red eyes, as dazzling as the badge of glory hanging on his chest.

He always dreamed of this man, and the situation in the dream remained grotesquely consistent. Suspecting that he was possessed by an evil spirit, he asked the priest for help, but the priest could not do anything about it, and only said something high-sounding but useless.

On the seventh night, the man in the dream spoke.

What a shrill voice, full of evil and evil, like a demon crawling out of hell.

"Mortal, do you know who I am?"

At that moment, Tatar was indeed afraid. He had lived for more than two hundred years, and was a noble great magician, but he was uncontrollably terrified and shook his head.

"I'm the Undead Monarch."

The voice was still evil, but it was full of nobility, it was noble in the bones, different from the pretentious posture of the nobles, and different from the arrogance of the dragons or Beamon, but the supreme temperament that naturally flowed out.

Tatar knew it was a dream, but it was so vivid that he didn't even have the courage to refute it. The Undead Monarch has been dead for 90,000 years, and it is the answer to the phrase - live to hell.

"Thou hast brought my descendants to Pharagus to find me in the season when the mandala is in full bloom, when the knight star and the rose star are rotating parallel to each other."

I woke up from a dream.

Tatar broke out in a cold sweat.

In the darkness of the night, Britney looked at him and asked, "Teacher, are you having nightmares?" ”

Tatar was terrified, and saw a flash of red in the depths of the girl's pupils, the same red eyes as the man in the dream.

He decided to take Britney to Famagus as if he were on a sacred mission. On the way, he would often ask himself why he did this, what was the difference between tossing and turning for a nihilistic dream, and being mad?

But he couldn't stop, and if he hesitated, that evil voice would sound in his heart, constantly whipping his will. He could only move on, like a puppet being manipulated.

After a lot of hardships, he finally came to his destination, his brows furrowed, and he was finally no longer tormented by the voice in his heart.

"Why did we come to Famagus?" Britney's big clear eyes flickered. This is the fifth time she has asked this sentence.

Tatar finally gave the answer: "Your ancestors are calling you." ”

Britney asked curiously, "Who is my ancestor?" ”

"Scarlet."

Britney asked again, "Who is Scarlet?" ”

"Once the brightest star in the night sky of Montech."

"And now?"

Tatar sighed, "The star is dead. ”

"Are you talking about the Undead Sovereign?" The cute Britney finally reacted.

Tatar nodded.

If someone else says to her, "Hey, little girl, you are a descendant of the Undead Monarch." She must have felt that she had met a liar. But when these words came out of the mouth of the esteemed mentor, the effect was different, and Britney believed it almost without suspicion. She was very honored and very excited, it turned out that she had such a noble bloodline!

"Teacher, is the Undead Monarch really as powerful as the legend says?"

"Yes. The bones of fallen angels and demons are the best proof of this. ”

"In other words, my ancestors are invincible?"

Tatar smiled and nodded, pleasing the girl's proud look with her head held high.

"Then why did he die?"

Tatar's smile froze, not knowing how to answer the question.

Montech has had battles and battles throughout its long history, but it was the two earth-shattering battles that led directly to the end of two eras. The first is the Battle of the Gods, a magnificent performance by the undead monarch alone, in which angels and demons flee in humiliation under the army of the undead, and are written by posterity. The second was the Battle of Vanesser, which directly led to the end of the era of magic, and the undead monarch Scarlet also died in that battle, but the depiction of that period in the history books is extremely vague, and future generations are like flowers in the fog.

Tatar said, "According to the records of a few words, it was the powerhouses of the other world who killed the undead monarch. ”

Britney felt sad and asked, "Didn't you say that the Undead Monarch is invincible?" ”

Tatar sighed: "He is invincible in Montech alone. Obviously, there are more powerful people in the Otherworld. ”

"Who killed my ancestor?" Britney clenched her small fists and said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely take revenge." ”

Tatar smiled bitterly, the person who killed the undead monarch has reached an unpredictable realm, not to mention a little Britney, I'm afraid that the Lord of Light will have to be hated on the spot when he goes into battle in person, right?

Britney didn't relent: "Teacher, tell me quickly, who is that despicable murderer?" ”

"It was a mysterious visitor from outside the sky, there is no record in the history books, the name is unknown, the appearance is unknown, and the supernatural powers are unknown." Tatar pondered for a long time and said, "All we know is that he comes from the Crimson Tower. ”
