Chapter 42: The Strange Man
-
The moment he actually attacked Moshi, the pleasure in Willy Fei's heart also reached its peak.
"Finally got your ......"
Immediately Willy realized that his opponent was unbelievably weak, for he heard the sound of broken ribs, at least three of them—he had no idea that such a blow would cause bones to shatter. He admits that he was a little overly excited by the soaring desire to plunder, but not so much. Not. He wasn't sure.
It was at this time that he noticed that the other man had a strange hair color and strange elongated, hairless ears (which were originally hidden by a wide hood). Men wore gloves on their hands, and in general, only shaved priests and people with handicapped hands wore gloves.
The man coughed, and blood foamed at his mouth.
The staff in his hand suddenly began to flicker brightly, and at the same time made a strange, high-pitched sound.
Levy quickly stepped away, pausing three paces away to look back, confused and slightly afraid.
The sound was somewhat like a human voice, but it had no formed words, like a vague incantation, or a hum, a musical note.
The man uttered a short incantation, and then fainted.
Levy watched him wary.
The people around quieted down. At the Firesparrow's seat, Diffonor Firebird and Dino Firebird had already stood up, ready to step forward to defend their retainers.
But after a brief silence, the mage's body suddenly underwent a change.
Temperature, smell, color –
Clusters of snowflakes spread and overlapped, like lightning......
Strange cracks appeared on the man's facial skin.
Willy narrowed his eyes.
No, not a rift.
That's more like blood vessels. Cyan lines interlaced like thin branches emerged, emitting a faint and crackling light.
Suddenly, the whole house began to tremble.
First it was the sleeves and strands of the mage's hair, then the black cane, and the metal shook on the stone-brick floor with a sound like teeth grinding, and then the tremor spread, and the candle flame shook violently, and the tables, chairs, wooden bowls, and flasks, scabbards, blades, and coins in the pouches clicked......
By the time Willy realized it, he had already changed his center of gravity, just like everyone else and all objects.
His feet were slowly dangling in the air.
And the vibration became more and more violent, like an arm trying to lift a boulder spasmed from the load. The wooden beams began to creak and shake with a terrifying sound—
Willy Fei had an almost uncanny answer in his head, but it could be used to explain the phenomenon in front of him: "Object Shifting Magic......
He had indeed heard that there were people with a lot of magic who would unintentionally release a lot of magic and spells in their sleep.
At this moment, the wounded body is trying to protect itself, driven by fear and anger, and purely following its instincts.
"Mo Shixian—"
A civilian girl suddenly burst in from outside the door, and the moment she was affected by magic and took off, she was still shouting: "Lord Mo Shi, I smell your blood—Lord Mo Shi?!"
This series of shouts, which seemed comical because they were beyond the incident, actually had an effect.
The man who fell to the ground opened his eyes.
Then everything came to a halt.
The pieces of meat fell back to the plate, the plate fell back to the table, the legs of the table fell back to the floor, the exclamation was choked back to the throat, and the blade of the knife that had been subconsciously drawn was still in the hand; some of the torches had been extinguished, but the tongues of fire that had not been extinguished returned to calm and continued to burn constantly......
The black-robed man and his staff were silent and no longer glowing.
-
The Firesparrow and the Autumn Crow stood opposite each other, and in the middle were the Firefinch's mage Mo Shi and the Autumn Crow's retainer Willy Fei.
Realizing that the tense silence would not last long, and that preemptive action was crucial, Diffonor Firesparrow took a step forward and exclaimed, "This is a miracle! a miracle spell that only a great warlock blessed by God can do." ”
Diffonor spoke in a steadfast and proud tone, and the sword at his waist signaled the strength of the victor who would not allow rebuttal.
He let out the sharp scent of Afaya and pressed it across it.
These actions received his father's approving looks.
One of the Autumn Crow's retainers swallowed back the half-spoken "demon".
The king's envoys, seated on the main seat, were silent.
Eventually, Moshi was sent back to his room to rest, and the dinner ended early.
-
When Mo Shi really came to his senses, he was lying on a simple bed in a makeshift house, and his whole body was in great pain. Bluebird seems to have healed the wounds on the inside of his chest cavity (basically, but not all, and the external wounds are in plain sight, and certainly not healed quickly), which is clearly the work of advanced healing magic.
Faint sunlight shone in through the cracks in the wooden structure, and there was no sound outside.
It seems to be early in the morning.
Duna curled up at the edge of his bed and fell asleep.
He silently felt the tiredness and pain in his body for a moment, and couldn't help but want to calculate how many times he had fainted. I'm afraid that the heroine scripts of ancient romance novels will not be written like this, it is really like a vulgar setting that relies on weakness to win sympathy. At this point, Mo Shi stepped on the brakes in time to prevent himself from becoming more and more depressed.
But that's just the way it is.
As a human being, a normal young male human, he is as small as dust and fragile as a fledgling here. This is a terrible land that is extremely unsuitable for ordinary human life, and now Mo Shi has to ask himself to take this to heart. He didn't have enough force, he didn't have a solid family background, and he didn't even have the magic he was best at......
A word suddenly popped into Mo Shi's mind, which made him shiver:
Inquisition.
In the early days of human history, there were also periods of fear of the cult of magic. Under the rule of a highly dark religion, there was once a strong resistance to magic and the extremely cruel "expulsion of black magic".
If Mo Shi's magic had gone out of control in that era, Mo Shi would have been burned at the stake as a demon believer.
Still, it's okay.
Little by little, Moshi's memories came back, and he remembered how Diffonor Firefinch had described the anomaly he had caused, and the others had no objections.
Then perhaps he could put this fear and worry aside for a moment (very briefly). He turned to something else.
- Magical nerve bundles are out of control.
It turns out that this is one of the side effects of the advance progress.
Obviously, for the current Mo Shi, lifting the seal in an instant will bring a huge load to the body. Although Bluebird didn't have time to explain, Mo Shi could roughly feel the magic in his body being more abundant, and the transfer magic was added to the list of skills he could master.
In the human population, children in the developing period are more likely to have nerve bundle control, and special events such as overwork and lesions may also lead to transient failure of nerve bundle control. As for Mo Shi, in his memory, he had not felt any "uncontrollability" of magic at all after the age of sixteen.
The actual sensation caused by the loss of control of the magical nerve bundle varies to varying degrees, but all of them are quite uncomfortable. In the history of medical science, many records record tragic cases: patients suffered and even died due to a series of chain reactions caused by excessive loss of control.
If you let Mo Shi describe it as a personal feeling......
It was like a tsunami in the body, and it was like termites crawling along every magical nerve vein, biting them all.
And the sequelae - compared to muscle spasms, the pain of the bones in the chest being forcibly broken and connected, tinnitus and headaches are more terrible torture. Mo Shi lay there quietly, barely able to move except for his thoughts, and after a long while, he felt his heart rate calm again, and his dizziness had subsided.
Then he heard the rain.
