Chapter 193: Conditions
Chapter 193:
The gray smoke was the remnants of the negative energy of the soul-sucking spell that had been separated from the dried corpses.
However, compared to other smokes, the spiritual imprint in this wreck was much clearer, so Freya cultivated it with runes combined with resources.
Originally, it could have been put into use three days ago, but I didn't expect five days to pass in the blink of an eye.
Freya took out the tweezers and gently pinched out the smoke from the tube.
The gray smoke seemed to have grown thicker after five days of cultivation, and a dusty thin line of particles in the middle of the smoke could be faintly seen.
This is an egg, and it seems that the breath is almost ready to hatch.
Placing the gray smoke on the platform, Freya grabbed a handful of black powder from the small box next to her and scattered it evenly around the smoke.
The smoke, which had wanted to escape, seemed to be afraid of the powder around it, and curled up into a ball from a long strip, and stayed silently in place.
Freya glanced at the smoke that turned into a ball, and a branch sprouted from the wooden chair, which then snapped off and slapped into wood powder, mixed with the black powder.
After completing these two steps, Freya took out a special charcoal and began to draw in the center of the smoke.
In a few moments, a simple circle of runes took shape.
Looking at the finished rune with satisfaction, she put away her charcoal pen, and Freya stretched out her hands to cover the two edges of the circle.
As the spiritual power touched the circle, a green pillar of light suddenly appeared.
'Crackle... Crackle'
It was as if the crackling sound of countless tiny lightning bolts was heard in the circle.
The strange change in this smoke can be clearly seen in this green pillar of light.
Originally, because he was afraid of the smoke that formed a ball of black powder, he immediately stretched out when the circle was opened.
It seems to have turned from a gaseous state to a liquid state out of thin air, and in a short time it will cover the entire circle.
The entire circle that emitted green light immediately became foggy.
Seeing this, Freya quickly pulled out a piece of processed parchment and covered it.
'Shhhhhh
Like the sound of a soldering iron meeting water, the parchment slowly bulged up on the circle. But then it calmed down again.
After a long time, after all the negative energy around it had been absorbed by the parchment, Freya lifted it.
The parchment, which had been empty, had an arrow on it that seemed to be condensed by gray flowing water.
And as Freya turned, she made a slight adjustment.
"It's finished." She smiled satisfactorily as she held the parchment.
This is a tracking circle designed using spiritual traces.
Although it is not as accurate as the prediction, it can only be measured, but it is currently the only thing Freya can take.
Adjusting the arrows on the parchment, Freya could already determine that the source of this spiritual power was somewhere in the West.
With the distance of the circle, Freya was sure that the necromancer could not have left Raymond City.
After reconfirming the position of the parchment. She rolled it up and put it in her waistbag.
When walking out of the room. Anna had left and didn't know where she had gone, but a delicious meal was prepared on the table.
After a simple meal, Freya looked outside. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still far away in the sky, and there was no sign of wanting to enter the twilight.
Thinking about it, just as Freya was about to try to find out the necromancer's whereabouts.
Outside the manor, there was a sudden sound of the wheels of a carriage rolling.
Outside the iron gates. Two silver-white carriages were slowly coming to a stop at the door, one side of the carriage was carved with a flying fish-shaped coat of arms. It's very luxurious.
In a few moments, the countess's familiar face stepped out from under the carriage.
Behind the countess was Felix, and Hawke, who had been with her, was absent.
The two walked in front, followed by a group of guards.
But. Upon entering the manor, everyone was blocked by the countess, while she and Felix walked towards the small building of the manor with a gloomy face.
Now Freya in the room narrowed her eyes slightly. The countess's injuries had healed in the past five days, only compared to before. At this time, her skin was a little greenish, but it was much tighter and more delicate, as if she was five or six years younger.
The temperament of the whole person is also becoming much colder.
Behind her, Felix, had many more scars on his young face, one of which was still on the eyelid of his left eye.
Coupled with the two silver scimitars inserted in his back, he felt a little more fierce and wild.
"Lord Freya—" As soon as she entered the door, the countess and Felix saluted respectfully.
"Hmm." Nodding slightly, feeling the countess's physical state at the moment, Freya smiled. "It seems that the city lord has been recovering very well recently."
Hearing this, the countess was slightly stunned, and then showed a wry smile. "Thank you, sir, for healing my body, I've learned from my uncle."
"It's okay, you got it in exchange." Freya put away her smile and said lightly. "So, what's the matter with you coming here now?"
After a pause, the countess raised her head and said with a somewhat cold expression.
"That's right...... Mistress Freya, I'm going to use my second chance. ”
"Oh? So fast? Raising her eyebrows in some surprise, Freya looked deeply into the countess's eyes and said in a casual tone. Let's talk about it. ”
"I want you to do it once, sir." The countess spoke directly, as if she had thought about it when she came.
"I'll shoot?" Freya glanced at Felix, who was silent behind her, and thought for a moment. "However, the value of the second opportunity, no matter who the enemy is, is not equal in value."
"I understand—" Giving a light breath, the countess pulled out a pale yellow pamphlet from her back and handed it to her. So, I brought this. ”
"Huh?" Freya took the booklet with a slight frown, but after glancing at it, she showed a straight look.
"It's... Peculiar to the Crimson Forest..."
"That's right." The countess nodded, her expression a little gloomy. "This was originally left to me by my teacher, but I don't ...... angry"
"Hmm." After confirming the authenticity of the booklet, Freya put it away and said with satisfaction. "If it's okay to add this, then let's say, who do you need to deal with?"
"It's the second son of the second elder of the Tertia family, who has returned from study." The countess said slowly. "Also a wizard."
"Oh, the new wizard?" Freya nodded.
She knew some of the Countess's Raymond City and some contradictions with the Tertia family, which were nothing more than interests or resources and rights.
And Tertia is said to be similar to the countess, and also belongs to a family where wizards have fallen to a certain level, and there have been basically no official wizards for several generations.
The original family of the two families was balanced, but suddenly the Tertia family returned with an official wizard, which was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the countess family.
And the kind of Cheng dù injury that the countess received a few days ago may also have been caused by that wizard.
"Here's some information about the wizard." Seeing Freya's attitude towards voting, the countess was overjoyed, took out a blank piece of paper and handed it to Freya.
"Mersey, graduated from... Unknown month? ”
After simply scanning the information on the blank paper, Freya Huo Ran found that the graduation college of this second son of Tertia was so familiar.
It's actually an academy with the madman who fought for the resources of Fort Hurricane in the first place.
This made Freya slightly straight.
At the beginning, Marlena said that the people in the Unknown Moon were all extremely militants with paranoia, and basically no one wanted to provoke them.
So will the person who comes out of the ominous moon be a normal person? Freya didn't know.
However, even for the people of the Ominous Moon, the pamphlet given to her by the countess was enough for Freya to make a move, after all, this is the essential knowledge of the Crimson Forest, and it is basically very troublesome for wizards in the other outer courts to get it.
After pondering the pros and cons, Freya asked the countess with a calm expression. So, is there a specific time and place? I've had a lot to do lately. ”
"It won't be too long, it should be the southern suburbs forest in four days' time, because not far from that direction is a lookout in Tertia, or rather a ...... dedicated to monitoring us."
"Well, I know, you come and pick me up in four days, if there are others, you settle it yourself, I only promise to deal with Mersey." Freya said in a relaxed tone.
"Of course it's fine, we have it." The countess nodded.
"Okay, I still have some things to take care of, if there is nothing else, let's go back."
Freya gave the order to evict the guest.
The two of them, who knew a little about Freya's personality, bowed their heads and saluted again, and then withdrew directly from the manor.
As she watched the two carriages leave the street, Freya withdrew her gaze.
As they arrived in the carriage, Freya smelled a faint smell of blood, presumably not long after the battle.
"But...... I didn't expect that guy to trust me so much, I really don't know what to say. Freya touched the pamphlet in her hand and shook her head slightly.
The knowledge of the bloodline prophecy of the Crimson Forest.
This knowledge of using energy cycles to simulate unknown creatures to achieve the effect of prophecy is very attractive to any wizard who specializes in prophecy.
For the strict management of the Crimson Forest, it takes a lot of effort to get it.
It is also said that everyone who learns this knowledge or uses the Scarlet Forest's prophetic sorcery has a chance to be marked by the Crimson Forest's Bright Moon Roulette.
However, Freya happened to know how to remove the mark when she was at Al Green Academy.
The booklet is not very thick, and after thinking about it, Freya is still safe to memorize the knowledge on this booklet first, and then burn it with fire.
With this done, she straightened her clothes and walked towards the western part of Raymond City.
As soon as the countess delayed, the sky was about to darken, and some of the shops on both sides of the street had begun to light up.
Freya walked like a walk in this slightly bustling city, looking around curiously.
Half an hour later.
In front of a dilapidated tavern in the West Quarter, Freya stopped. (To be continued)
