Chapter 9: The Dark Mage
From that day on, Princess Haixin embarked on a journey to find Wang Ziguang. In ten years, Princess Haixin swam all over the sea, he swam through the sea of stars, he saw the endless reincarnation of the sun and the moon, he passed through the sea of ten thousand poems, listened to the poetry in the waves, he crossed the eternal trace, looking for the endless dark abyss, but was blocked by powerful lightning, and then she came to the Lost Ocean, through the difficult ice floe, to the end of the eternal iceberg. Day after day, she never stopped. When she woke up, she kept on her way, asking the fish in the ocean if they had ever seen a man who had fallen from the sky, who had no wings, could not fly, and had blond-red hair, but the fish always shook their heads. But she was never discouraged, tired, tired, and lay on the sea drifting with the waves, believing that one day, she would find him.
However, ten years have passed, and she still has no news about Wang Ziguang. So, the princess guessed that Wang Ziguang might not be in the ocean, maybe he was on land.
So, the mermaid princess of the deep sea came to the beach by the sea and stared blankly at the land. She looked at her big fishtail again, and sat on the edge of the beach in disappointment, unable to do anything.
"If only I could have a pair of legs so I could go out on land and look for him. Princess Haixin sat on the beach and looked at the land every day, thinking to herself: I have spent ten years swimming all over the sea, and I can't give up easily, she always encourages herself like this, maybe Wang Ziguang is also looking for herself?
So the brave and determined princess mustered up her courage and tried to walk on the land with her tail upright, but she did not expect that after taking the first step, she felt a lot of pain. The rough sand rubbed against her fishtail, and her blue-and-white clothes were worn to pieces.
But she still didn't give up, and when she was injured, she used her powerful spiritual magic to protect her wounds, and then moved on. When she fell, she got up and continued to move forward.
One step, two steps, three steps, ten steps, one hundred steps. One meter, two meters, three meters, ten meters, one hundred meters. The princess found that the distance she could walk was getting farther and farther. But as the distance grew, she felt more and more strained. The same is walking, in Yena City, protected by the power of the Sea King's Ocean Heart, walking is no different from being in the water. However, in this distant place, the princess could not receive the power of the heart of the ocean at all, and every step she took would consume a part of her spiritual power, and she would not last long, even if he was an outstanding spiritual magician, he would also run out of spiritual power.
Finally, after a hundred days of being hindered by the land, the princess met a man who told the princess, who was sitting by the sea in distress, that he had a way to make him grow legs and walk onto the land.
This man is the Terrans' notorious dark magician, Pigu Brian, who is always dressed in a black cloak and does not look like a light of light. In his hand, he holds a magic wand studded with black crystals.
He walked up to the princess and said sincerely, "Honorable princess of the sea kingdom, I am the great dark mage Pigu Brian, I can grant your wish to go to land, if you are willing to give me half of your soul, I can give you the ability to go on land." ”
The tired Princess Haixin smiled and questioned, "If Your Excellency is really Mr. Pigu Bryan, the dark mage of the Terran Race, then he should know that there is a sage of the Sea Clan named Tauzura!"
"Yes, I know. Pigu Bryan sneered with disdain, "Tawzula, the so-called sage, is actually nothing more than Agaman's agent in the human world. Not only sell your own soul, but also sell the soul of others. The most despised person in my life is someone like him. ”
"You are not allowed to say that about him, a man like you will never be qualified to judge Mr. Tawzula, he is a great man. Princess Haixin shouted angrily, "He has regretted selling his soul all his life, and now he no longer has the spell to chant, but you are still doing this dirty business." ”
Pigubryan shook his head stiffly, took off his black cloak and hat, and showed his own cold smile, "Innocent princess, you may not know that the essence of black magic is soul magic, just like a deal, if you want to have an apple, you have to give three copper plates, but if you want to get a kingdom, then you have to pay a mountain of gold." This is soul magic, as long as you have a strong soul, you can do what you want, even if it is to make you Sea Clan grow feet. He explained, "Unlike soul magic, selling souls to Agaman means that mortal souls are taken by the so-called divine realm, and as the souls decrease, disaster will befall the mortal realm." Could it be that even so, they still think that black magic is evil, and selling their souls to the dark gods is to save the common people?"
Princess Haixin smiled politely and said unhurriedly: "The greatest wise man of the Sea Clan, Tao Lazu, spent his whole life studying the ancient books of spiritual art for the sake of the Sea Country, and in order to find his wife and children, he did not hesitate to sell three-quarters of his soul to Agarman, in order to prevent more people from selling his soul, he personally destroyed the Okaz Soup, and was hunted down by those who coveted secrets all over the world, so that he spent thirty years alone in the secret room under the Sea Clan Yena City. Princess Haixin straightened her waist and argued solemnly, "In this world, only the people of the Sea Clan royal clan know where he is. When I needed him, he didn't hesitate and gave me the last of Okaz's soup. He knew that doing so would mean that the next day would be separated, but as a wise man he still chose to help others. But what is the difference between you, who delve into the evil black magic, who are doing dirty soul deals, and who do not repent in your heart?"
Pigu Bryan listened quietly to the sea princess's tirade, and finally spoke: "Sure enough, everyone in the world, like McCarthy, will always be righteous only in white magic. The night is sin, but the day is the way. How do you know that different people have different beliefs. He clenched the long staff in his hand, the black crystal at the tip of the staff glittering, "When I was a child, I lost my eyes to save my companion from the mouth of the beast. Then I learned the dark arts, so I went back to the beast and gouged out his eyes with my own hands. Brian quietly removed the bandage from the corner of his eye, and a deep wound was embedded in his socket, "You know what? But in the end, people called me crazy, called me a pervert, because I gouged out the eyes of wild beasts alive and made them into strings. But did they think about it? It was because of that beast that I lost my light. ”
Princess Haixin's eyes were firmly fixed on Brian's only remaining eye, because he had only one eye for many years, his right eye had become much larger than normal, while his left eye was deeply sunken, giving people a terrifying feeling.
"In order to make meritorious contributions and serve the king, as an accompanying mage, I have resisted many invasions of demon ancestors and quelled the civil strife of countless countries. But in the end, the narrow-minded king could not tolerate me, and he sent the most elite assassins to infiltrate my home in order to kill me. If it weren't for the fact that night to buy back their favorite fruit for my wife and children, I would have become a handful of loess at this moment. He looked at his trembling hands and said expressionlessly, "In order to avenge my wife and children, I broke into the palace of the King of Darkness with the power of the Dark Magic Crystal and assassinated him on his ten-meter-wide bed that could lay down thirty people. People say that I killed the king, but they didn't think that it was he who killed my wife and my children first. ”
"So, you collude with the chaotic party in an attempt to subvert the country?"
"This country is no longer the country it used to be, the mediocrity of the king, the corruption of the **, has determined all this. Only by overthrowing it can it be changed. ”
"But you have ever thought that countless innocent people will die in this war. They are also ordinary people, just like your family, who love peace, yearn for a peaceful life, and wait for their loved ones to have a reunion dinner together. ”
Pigu Bryan smiled, at the age of eighty, he looked very old, like a hundred-year-old tree, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, "The fall of this dynasty should have been very fast, but later, until a man appeared, broke my plan. He was McCarthy Connell, the White Magician, and it just so happened that he was the partner I had saved from the beast. He clenched his fists and said hatefully, "If it weren't for him, this dynasty would have been destroyed by me." However, that friend used white magic to defeat me. ”
"So you hate him?"
Picka Bryan shook his head, "I didn't hold a grudge against him for saving him and losing an eye, nor did I hate him for getting in my way. What really disgusted me was that he burned alive the 80,000 captured soldiers. He crouched down and let out a long sigh with a haggard look, "Later, the rebels are gone, and even if I can defeat the white mage again, it will be difficult for me to attack the royal capital again." So, I took the ashes of my wife and children to the beach and lived a secluded life, because my daughter once said that her greatest wish was to see the blue sea. ”
