The terrible screams continued in Vera's ears for a long, long time.

But perhaps it was just an illusion, because the evil god's body had already turned into countless ashes in the air, but she still felt that she could hear the terrible sound.

I'm still alive, maybe that's the biggest delusion, right?

The red-haired girl, who was weak and slumped on the edge of the broken parapet, thought.

"How's it going, are you feeling better?"

The brisk voice sounded, and the little wizard with blue eyes blinking and blinking half-crouched down and looked at Vera with concern: "Is there any pain in the face, is your head still comfortable, how is your energy recovering?"

A series of questions that the night watchwoman didn't know whether to nod or shake her head.

"Ahh Sorry, I was talking to myself. Looking at Vera's blank expression, Ain hurriedly apologized: "That's it, you take a rest first, and I'll go outside to take a look at the situation." ”

Outside, outside?!

As soon as she finished speaking, the red-haired girl's eyes widened sharply.

"I didn't expect... Even the underground has been completely controlled by the monsters - if that happens, the megalomaniac's plan may not be carried out so smoothly, and he will have to start trying to find a way again, first of all, he must join up with Luthen......"

The little wizard, who had not noticed the change in Vera's expression at all, stood up and walked out of the arena with a muttering to himself, leaving the red-haired girl alone.

No, you can't go outside......

Outside the arena... But thousands, sand piles like a flood of rotting corpses!

A frightened Willa stretched out her hand to stop the little wizard's figure, but could only watch her walk out and disappear from her sight.

There was a dead silence outside the parapet, and nothing could be heard except for the footsteps of the little wizard.

"Oh, Luceen, where are you......"

Ain's voice came, and Vera's eyes widened in horror.

Luceen... Lusen Wirtz is the one who appeared in the barracks before, the guard next to Loren, right?

The little wizard couldn't find him, could it be that he was already ......

Although she didn't see it, countless images of great possibility had flashed in the red-haired girl's mind!

In the face of the surging tide of rotting corpses, the particularly short guards wielded their twin swords and resolutely stood in front of them to buy time for the little wizards in the arena.

The confused little wizard couldn't find him because the special, very short guard had fallen in a pool of blood... With a hoarse voice, he tried his best to block the group of rotting corpses that had already torn him to pieces......

No, the little wizard must not be allowed to see this!

Struggling to get to her feet, Vera staggered out against the wall, one hand still clutching her weapon.

Even if it is just to repay the other party's kindness and gamble with his life, he must protect this little wizard.

The resolute red-haired girl dragged her weak body and struggled to crawl out.

Maybe it was an illusion, or maybe it was because he was too weak to hear the sounds—the streets outside were eerily quiet, not at all like they would have been devoured by thousands of rotting corpses.

Or are they already ......?!

"Luthen, so you're here. Ain's voice rang out.

Well?!

With a stunned expression, Vera walked quickly to the street, and then ......

Empty, nothing.

Not even a single rotting corpse demon hair!

The little wizard standing alone in the middle of the street, smiling at the alley at the other end.

"Sorry, it took some time to clean up. ”

With the sound of brisk words, at the end of Vera's line of sight, a very short gray-eyed boy appeared, fiddling with two short swords and walking towards this side with a smile.

It's just that the body that was almost soaked in blood and pus from head to toe made the smile on his face look very terrifying.

The stunned red-haired girl stood in place, and another terrible conjecture popped up in her mind... Since Lusen is still alive, but the rotting demons are gone, that is to say......

"Everything around the arena has been cleaned. Glancing, Luxen, who was aware of Vera's presence, didn't ask much, and said something in a particularly flat tone that seemed to be inconsequential at all:

"But there's a lot more to the area, and we're going to come this way at any time, so we've got to hurry. ”

The little wizard nodded, "What about Isaac?"

"I sent him to the Royal Wizarding Academy - I was going to pass through the underground passage, but I didn't expect it......"

"Underneath the city, it's all taken over by them. Ain looked solemn: "We have to change our plans." ”

"Then we'll have to go and meet up with Isaac first. ”

The gray-eyed boy nodded, and turned to leave.

"Wait, wait!"

Seeing that they were leaving, Vera, who opened her mouth wide, hurriedly stopped: "Please, excuse me... Where exactly is Loren Turin now?!"

Unexpectedly, the little wizard and Lusen glanced at each other and looked at the red-haired girl with a look on their faces:

"Loren, he... It's not in the Imperial Capital right now. ”

"What?!"

..............................

“...... That's right, that's my plan. ”

Looking at everyone's expressions, but they were all very stunned, Isaac hugged his shoulders very proudly: "You can't let Loren enter the imperial capital first, or... We can't let the enemy enter the control of that huge vortex or breach of the boundary when he is fully prepared!"

"Now, I know you're going to be asking, 'Why?', 'Isn't this redundant?' 'What's the point?'...... Balabala, in short, must be a boring question, but first ......"

A second before the little wizard with an iron face picked up something and was about to throw it, Isaac scurried behind the black-haired wizard and hid:

"First of all, the other party should be able to detect Loren's void reaction at the first time no matter where he is, right?"

"Do you still need to say this?!"

Ain didn't have a good airway.

"That's right - then as soon as Loren enters Golovin, the other side will definitely drop everything at once and deal with all of us wholeheartedly... Of course, it's basically Loren, we little shrimps, not at all in the eyes of an evil god who once destroyed the dragon kingdom. ”

Isaac's expression was very awkward when he said this, although it was a statement that he had already thought of, but this kind of self-deprecating words always felt strange when he came out of his own mouth:

"But on the flip side, he's really going to be wary of... Loren was alone - if Loren hadn't shown up, Selior would have gone along with his original plan to capture the Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star. ”

"That's right. ”

Lusen raised an eyebrow: "The question is, what's the point of doing this—the only one who can threaten the Black Cross is Lord Loren." ”

"yes, so he won't be on guard against everyone but Loren, I said it. ”

Isaac proudly raised his right index finger: "As for the point of doing this... First, we don't know what was going on in the Imperial Capital - I didn't know anything about the war, but I still knew what the 'sentinels' and 'scouts' did. ”

"It's a very difficult job, it's dangerous, and you have to work with each other, so... I think the three of us are the best people to do this. ”

The laughing Isaac shrugged his shoulders and gave another thumbs up in front of the silent Al Yin and Lusen: "Second, no matter what this guy is doing, he can't violate the fundamental principles of the two worlds of void and matter. ”

"That's great—because you may not have noticed that the man in front of you is the one who has the best knowledge of the power of the Void for the energy of the material world. ”

"So there must be, there must be some flaws to be found, as long as I enter that city and give me some time, I will definitely be able to find the flaws in the Black Cross!"

Isaac said confidently.

"And ......" Isaac held up a third finger, "According to the information we know now, it is likely that Black Cross is not so familiar with the rules of the material world, at least relatively unfamiliar. ”

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to possess the Phanascist Bishop and manipulate the centaur tribe before that... He's scary, but not as scary as many people think. As he spoke, Isaac sneered:

Or rather, many people who knew about his existence didn't know what was really terrifying about the Black Cross. ”

"Conjure up a big fireball, blow up a city at once, destroy this and kill that... No, no, no, it's too low-level, it's not his style, he has to do things that are much more advanced than that, maelstroms, illusions, rotting corpses... These are just by-products, the inevitable results and appearances of what he has to do, and many stupid potatoes regard these appearances as the power of the Black Cross......"

"Getting to the point!"

The stone in the little wizard's hand hit Isaac's head with unmistakable accuracy.

"The point is to find the flaws of the Black Cross through the second point, and to confirm how much control he has over the material world when he devotes all his attention to the seizure of the Holy Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star. ”

Isaac covered his bruised head and continued with a hissing tug at the corners of his mouth: "Loren is the final key and hope, and we can't let him fight a living goblin or a living dead who doesn't know how many years he has lived without knowing anything about the enemy. ”

"No, you can't do that, the odds are too small. ”

"We need to know where our strengths are, what the enemy's weaknesses are, what our greatest weaknesses are, what will be the enemy's killer weapon... Until this is figured out, Loren should not even be in front of the Black Cross. ”

"And until we figure out how to use these strengths and weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses, hole cards and killer features, we should not escalate the conflict to the point where we have to confront the enemy head-on. ”

"He knows a lot about the Void, and we know a lot about the Void, but he is not very familiar with the material world, we are born to live in this world, in short, ......"

"Use magic, fight magic. ”

Isaac, shaking his head, said very serious things in a joking tone.

"But it takes a lot of time, we don't have a lot of time. ”

The little wizard retorted.

"But it's worth it and it's necessary. Isaac spread his hands, his expression was natural:

"The most important thing is that you have me, Isaac Grantham - I don't want to say anything strange about 'fate' or 'mission', but this is definitely one of the things that made it to me leave Grantham Village and become a wizard. ”

"Otherwise... What is the real difference between a wise wizard and a clever farmer in this world?"

Isaac tilted his head, and his deep tone seemed to be talking to himself.

I, Isaac Grantham, a farmer in the countryside of Lothair, a two-line patriarch of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, the first wizard to marry the royal family and be knighted......

What name and what will be recorded in history forever?

The materialization of the Void, the Floating City, the Bright Light Sword, or ......

Save the world?

"All in all... We must do everything possible to ensure that Loren confronts him when he already knows enough about the enemy and that they cannot fully focus on him. Isaac's eyes burned:

"The best option is when he is about to get the Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star or when he is thwarted - since the Holy Grail is in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, I believe that the Holy Cross should not be indifferent, right?"

"Since this is the last time, since it is an enemy that is so strong that it is almost invincible, then exhausting all ideas and doing everything possible by any means is the most reasonable tactic, right?"

"Anything else... can all be set aside. ”

Al Yin and Lusan fell silent.

"There's one more problem. After a while, the little wizard couldn't help but speak: "There are nearly a million people in the Imperial Capital City, even if the entire city has been swallowed, it is very likely that there will still be survivors... What are they going to do?"

"That's the last reason, it's important to keep Loren from entering the city so quickly - as soon as he appears, the battle will be at its most intense, and no matter how many people are left, don't think about any of them. Isaac said silently:

"We had to get into the city first, to see how much we could save, to make sure we had a safe and stable escape route, to save the people we could... Bring it out!"

"Will it work?"

"That's why I said, 'It can be saved'... Obviously, we can't save all of them, but in any case, we can save as much as we can, and do our best. ”

Taking a deep breath, the fiery gaze turned to the last figure: "As for Senior Brother Loren... You should know exactly what to do, right?"

The black-haired wizard bowed slightly.

Although they were promised, if they wanted the dragons of Jufeng Mountain to fulfill their agreement, they had to make a trip themselves—otherwise, according to their previous behavior, they would not even think about waiting for their "support" until they died.

"Scout the enemy, find reinforcements, complete the rescue... After we have all the information, we will start a decisive battle in the best possible situation for us. ”

"That's me Isaac Grantham... The most reliable plan. ”
