Chapter 13: Be bold and go your night path
Richard had never been more desperate than he was now, the monster attacks had not stopped since he entered the secret city, everything he could resist was used up, and all that was left was a wand.
The surrounding night demons stared at him greedily,
"Magician's Blood ......"
As if he saw hope, he rushed in one direction.
"Help me, please, save me......"
Edwin looked at Richard and the night demons who were gradually surrounding him, and he knew that he couldn't save them.
"God says, Let there be light!" Edwin waved his wand, and a bright bright light pierced the darkness of the night, as if to tear the night apart.
The night demons screamed, their bodies bent from the pain, and began to emit white smoke, which eventually turned into hot water that was constantly belching white smoke.
There was no black orb, Edwin felt a pity, he already knew the magic of the orb, and having it by his side would increase the strength of your magic.
Edwin slays the Dareddemon and obtains two hundred Sacred Crystals.
Richard was stunned, just a blow...... He was the first Edwin to get the Crystal Crystal?
Edwin turned his head to look at Richard,
"If you want me to keep you safe, show me what you do. "Edwin was realistic, but it was also true, and no one wanted to carry a burden.
"I'm a life mage, good at healing ......"
"No wonder you live that long. Edwin continued to walk forward, his magic was now very powerful, and the black bead became transparent when absorbed. He felt that if he encountered the skeleton nameless again, he could solve it without activating the bloodline and only using magic.
He lit the campfire and put his hands on it to warm himself, "Richard, what did your teacher tell you about magic?"
"My teacher told me that our current magic is all remnants of ancient magic, and that there is a great deficiency. Alchemy magic, for example, is now more inclined to the sealing realm, but it is said that the magic weapons created by alchemy magic in ancient times are also very strong. ”
"That's right...... What else did I tell you?" Edwin felt as if Rudolph hadn't told him anything other than the basics of elemental magic, but it was also because there were few magicians in Hall City.
"The judging criteria of a magician. Richard said with a little weakness, and he also secretly heard it.
"You say. ”
"The first category is apprentices like us, who belong to those who have just come into contact with magic, the second category is also the most at the same time is the single line of magicians, and the third type is the all-round magician, the magician who is proficient in all five systems of magic. ”
"We're just apprentices, and we're not qualified to know that. ”
"What's wrong with the apprentice?" Edwin looked up at him, "a true master always has an apprentice's heart. ”
"Okay. Richard didn't know what to say, so he could only echo it.
The remaining half of the night was spent in Edwin and Richard's alternate vigils.
Early the next morning, the two set off and ran towards the city on the edge of the sky. Edwin calculated that he now had more than 1,700 Saint Crystals, and he had never encountered such a strong monster with such a high reward except for the Skeleton Nameless.
They had left the desolate meadows and entered a vast desert. They walked out of two rows of footprints in the sand, but they didn't know that something under the sand dunes was constantly wriggling, and it was an innate instinct to thirst for human blood.
"It's a little hot. Richard wiped the sweat from his head.
"It's fine. "Edwin didn't feel anything.
The stuff under the dunes was tumbling, and it wanted to swallow the two humans so badly, it had already digested what it had eaten yesterday. When Richard let down his guard and was a little tired, the sand dunes suddenly surged,
"Be careful!" Edwin shouted, the sand squirting upwards like a magma eruption. And what is under the dunes has also taken on its form.
A large, sand-yellow worm covered in black pinpricks, its mouth facing Richard, who was slumped to the ground.
"Richard, get behind me, quick!"
Richard seemed too frightened to hear him, and the image of the dune worm was much more powerful than the Daredevils.
The worm's mouthparts were closing in on Richard, and the corrosive slime dripping onto the dunes made the sand smoke, and Edwin could now imagine what would happen to Richard's bones when he was devoured.
Just when Edwin thought that Richard was probably hopeless, a fireball "pounded" into the worm's body, and the worm let out a sharp cry, and the flames on the fireball continued to burn on the worm's purple blood.
"Forbidden Demon!" The girl in the distance was dressed in a magician's robe, and with a wave of her staff, the sealing magic circle began to form.
When the worm saw this, it was about to burrow into the dune, only to find that it had been imprisoned there without realizing it.
"Petrify!" Edwin's wand glowed with the girl.
The girl's blue hair fluttered in the wind, and the magic circle enveloped the worm, which could only watch as its body was divided and crushed.
It let out a final howl before dying, and Richard reacted and hid behind Edwin uncorrupted by its blood.
Ayel kills the Lord of the Dunes and rewards 600 Crystals. It was that voice echoing in everyone's minds again, as if it was only when a stronger monster was killed, that voice would be taken out.
"See you again. Edwin looked at the blue-haired girl.
"Fate. "Ayil didn't explain too much and walked over to Edwin,
"Why are you here?" asked Edwin curiously.
"Why am I not here? I'm a magician, too. Ayer explained.
Richard didn't bother when he saw that the two seemed to know each other.
"Do you want to be together?" asked Edwin.
"Good. Ayl looked at Richard again,
"Don't come to this kind of assessment if you're afraid of death. The cold tone made Richard embarrassed.
"Did you get the black beads?"
"Of course, that's a good thing. ”
So the two-person squad became a three-person squad, and Richard felt that he didn't have to worry about his life now, after all, two such strong people were by his side.
On the other side, Charnes has also made peace with Clara, they have broken away from the boundary of the ice field, and are walking towards the illusory city in the sky.
"I wonder where Edwin is?"
"He must still be alive. Clara said firmly.
"I'm worried about what he's doing, let's get to that city alive first. ”
All the living magicians of Edoremana were running towards the city. And on the closest path to the city, a magician with the mark of the black moon on his face was carving magic runes on the earth with human blood, and the blood-colored runes melted into a pool of blood foaming upwards,
"You will all be sacrificed by the Courier!" he chuckled maniacally, but the pool of blood melted into the environment and turned into an eerie pool of water, shrouded in red mist.
It was night, still around a burning campfire, Edwin looked at Ayil and said,
"Why were you being chased by them?"
"Because I took one of them, something precious to me. ”
"What is it?"
"I won't tell you. Ayle looked at the campfire, as if he were speaking to Edwin as well as to himself.
Edwin didn't bother to ask much, and neither of them said anything more. The vigil at night also became a three-person vigil in turn.
Richard didn't say anything, and when it was his turn to keep vigil, he looked at the charcoal when he saw a tired Edwin lying down, and he remembered the way Aiel looked at him.
"Don't pay too much attention to other people's eyes, just treat those as ghost fires in the night, and boldly go your night path. (1)" Edwin said with a squint, and after hearing Edwin's words, he nodded vigorously.
Edwin was often met with those disgusting stares while guarding the grave, ranging from sadness to resentment and finally numbness. He's used to it.
When I woke up in the morning, the ears of all the magicians were echoing: Please enter the secret city of Edormana today, or you will be stranded on the outskirts forever.
"It's time to go again, I'm going to meet the other magicians today. Edwin stretched, picked up his wand, and the two of them left.
When they left, the pile of charcoal floated into the air, swaying into a black figure, and he grinned to say something, but found that he could not say anything at all.
After a long time, he uttered his first words,
"My name is Resentment. ”
The shadow of the city of Edormana began to solidify, and it truly became a city in the sky, constantly glowing with a rainbow of luster.
In the endless abyss, there is an eye, a simple eye, that looks at everything around it without color.
"You are my messenger, and your coming will bring famine to that world. "The red mist envelops the eyes tightly, and there are even drops of green liquid falling.
"I'll name you Morton. ”
