Volume 9 The Journey of Slaying the Dragon Chapter 37 Suspicion!
"Go find a qi mage named Hedamic and ask him to do so. [No pop-ups.]" Olaser threw down this order, and then he thought about it, seemed a little uneasy, pointed to the old man, and added, "You go with him." ”
The old man nodded silently, following Olaser for decades, he knew the other party's intentions very well, even if it was a subtle expression, a casual movement, he could immediately smell the original meaning hidden behind it.
"A mage...... Will he listen to us?" Although the old man's identity and status are special, Laika does not believe that he and himself can make each other conform with a few words.
"He will do so, for it is my command from Olasser. "Although the old mage said it plainly, he had an unquestionable majesty.
With questions and curiosity, Laika and the old man left the stone fort and walked towards the harbor.
On the way, Laika kept his head down and couldn't help asking, "Is it not worth it for us to spend so much effort to deal with a small lord?"
The old man glanced at him and said lightly, "Who said I was going to deal with him?"
Laika was stunned, he looked at the old man in confusion, weren't they trying to find out what was strange about this priest, and what was the purpose of what he had done? To his horror, he realized that he might have made a mistake because he had asked something he shouldn't have asked. Just a moment ago, he thought he had touched the center of that power at an immensely close distance. But now I found out that it was a ridiculous idea, but in fact he was still nothing, nothing had changed.
The old man's eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if there was a dazzling light flickering in front of him all the time, and Laika's complicated mood and silent caution were immediately captured by him, for this subordinate who was also a servant had behaved well in the past days, so he felt that he could let the latter know a little now. So he slowed his tone as much as he could, and said, "That lord is nothing but a key. Behind him, there was a large door. So you have to understand that getting the key is what is behind the gate, and the value of the key land itself only exists before the door is opened. ”
"Could it be ......" Laika frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "The Monks' Society?"
The old man nodded appreciatively, he tilted his head, stared at the figures of the five ships in the harbor, and said in a deep tone: "In the Monks' Guild, the power of the theocracy is too great, and if it goes on like this." The influence of the Mage Guild will be lower and lower, but this battle of slaying the dragon is a great opportunity for us to show our means and strength, so. Don't you think it's a key that can be used?"
The old man had never said these things to Laika before, and the latter felt as if a tightly tied pocket had finally loosened its mouth, and he could vaguely glimpse one or two of them, the mysterious lord was a priest in the first place, and if something went wrong. It will inevitably lead to a decline in the prestige of the Holy See. Weaken its influence among the Monks and the Great Nobility.
He was thrilled with his own judgment, because in the process. He also played a pivotal role.
As the two of them walked deeper and deeper into the port, a lonely, slender figure in a mage's robe came into view.
Hedamic stood sullenly to the side, his eyes were incomprehensibly confused, after rescuing everyone, many nobles came up to him politely and asked him about his identity and the source of the magic, but when they learned that he was just an intransmissible qi mage, they all showed strange and surprised expressions, as if they were facing a table of sumptuous delicacies, but someone told them that it was made with the lowest and dirtiest cockroaches.
That gaze stung him vividly and made him angry, but then what rose was a weak frustration deep in his heart, in fact, after fighting Luo Lan, he immediately improved the electric light thunderbolt, and pioneered the addition of another scroll to the original scroll, so that the dull scroll could move freely in the air.
There have never been composite scrolls on the mainland, firstly, because the materials are not easy to come by, and few magicians are willing to spend their energy on them except for air mages; second, in the battle of life and death, the role of scrolls is pivotal, usually when making scrolls, most magicians hide in dark rooms, careful to avoid the opponent knowing, so that there is no communication; third, the display of the power of the scroll itself comes from magic, which is enough, there is no need to deliberately do anything on the scroll.
Hedamic didn't even realize the value of this initiative, this genius qi mage was originally talented, but now he was depressed by the successive stimuli, the shadow of mission failure, the contempt of the mage, this was always eating away at his heart.
"Is it Master Hedamik?" a voice broke his musings.
Hedamic turned his head slowly and said indifferently, "What's the matter?"
The old man and Laika glanced at each other, and the latter stepped forward and said, "I am the servant of Master Olasser, and he wants to ask you to do something. ”
Hedamic let out a breath and said slowly, "Say it, I'll just do it." "Since his mission to protect Prince Shumi, he had thought that he would not be able to survive in the Mage Society, and even he was prepared for this, but unexpectedly, Olaser actually left him, which could not help but give him a glimmer of hope, but he also knew that it was not without a price.
"See that ship?" Leka pointed to the surface of the sea and whispered, "We want to know what happened up there." ”
Hedamic was stunned and said, "You want to ......?"
"Go back in time. The old man interjected coldly, but it was a tone that could not be denied. Hedamic frowned, he had a vague premonition. But he couldn't say where it was, so he nodded and said, "I can do it." ”
The old man said no more, and he walked first towards the dock, followed by Laika, who greeted the boatmen in the distance, and asked them to lower the two sampans.
"Don't bother. Hedamic shook his head, he took out two scrolls from the spatial ring, handed them to the old man and Laika, and said lightly: "Use this." You'll find that this works much better than a sampan. ”
Laika took the letter suspiciously, and he found that the old man did not tear the scroll right away. He glanced at Hedamic again, and saw that there was no expression on the other party's face. After a moment's hesitation, he carefully tore open the scroll......
A white mist-like aura enveloped him from head to toe, and two wings made of qi elements kept flapping behind him, and he immediately felt his body become as light as a feather, and then drifted towards the target in his eyes at an unhurried speed.
The old man's eyelids jumped slightly, but he didn't move, and still stood there silently.
Hedamic ignored him, and after performing a levitation spell on his own, his body slowly rose upwards until he and Leka both reached the side of the ship. The old man tore open the scroll and followed unhurriedly, and with a slight touch on the side of the ship, he stabilized his figure, and his dying body actually looked extremely agile and agile at that moment.
Hedamik's eyes flickered. However, he didn't take a second look, but went straight to the topic: "Time and space regression is not only a high-level magic, but also a continuous spell, the length of time depends entirely on my personal mana, I haven't insisted on more than ten breaths before. So can this spell see what you want to see? I'm not sure. ”
"Since the time is so short, what is the point of the existence of this spell?" asked Laika in surprise.
It seems to be to vent his dissatisfaction with Laika's deprecation of qi spells. Hedamik snorted and said, "If you are a smart person, a few jumping pieces, coupled with reasonable intelligence and analysis, are enough to dig out the general thing." ”
To this sarcasm, the old man just responded coldly: "If the qi spell didn't find so many excuses, it wouldn't have fallen so completely." ”
Hedamik's color suddenly changed, his face turned blue and white, he forced himself to suppress his anger, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand, and began to chant a dry incantation in his mouth, and the white mist spread out from the palm of his hand, as if it was where the clouds were created.
In the center of the mist, a vague scene slowly cleared the clouds and revealed.
The old man and Laika's attention was immediately drawn to the scene that was happening inside, and the fleeting images were as real as if they had just happened in front of them, and the shock to them was incomparable, not only because of the magic itself, but also because of the amazing battle in that scene.
Hedamik's eyes widened as well, staring at the man inside.
When all the mist dissipated, the three of them were silent for a long time, and the sight of the huge earth light blade toring the fleshy body into countless pieces was still hovering in front of them.
The old man was the first to come back to his senses, he glanced at Hedamik, who seemed to be exhausted, and moved his fingers to take a step forward, but the latter seemed to sense something, and took a step back vigilantly.
"Master Hedamik," the old man sighed, "After seeing this spell, I have to say, it is really perfect, I take back what I said before. ”
Hedamic was stunned, and his complexion slowed slightly.
The old man looked at Hedamic with emotion, and said, "I wonder if you will be able to cast this spell again? ”
Hedamik's expression was completely relaxed, he looked at the old man gratefully, took out a scroll from the spatial ring and handed it over, and said, "This is the scroll I made, which contains a spell of time and space regression, but it is extremely rare, I have only succeeded so once, I think this is enough to make the Orather mage feel my sincerity." ”
"Well," the old man took it, and played with it in his hand, he suddenly sighed, and said, "I want to tell you that his voice is getting lower and lower, and Hedamic can't help but lean forward, leaning forward and saying, "What?"
The old man's eyes suddenly opened, and he said sharply: "You go to die!"
