Chapter 30: Twilight in the Land of Mages

In the crystal corridor underneath the White City.

George? Stewart used the last of his strength and ran towards the end of the hallway. Besieged by Mr. Jin, the Prison Master, and Yun Yong, he used the alchemy of equal exchange to continuously sacrifice his organs and limbs, and sent powerful legendary spells one after another to repel them.

One left eye, full left arm and right leg, left foot, entire stomach, half of the small intestine, one lung and liver...... That's what Stewart lost in the battle just now.

Dragging the dying remnants, Stewart levitated with what little mental power he had left, rushing to the end of the crystal corridor.

He is certain to die, but the law is ...... Elrios may still be saved.

Thales' Underground Vault. Unleash the greatest secret that Elrios has hidden there for thousands of years, and you will easily wipe out all the enemies that invade the White City.

For today's French powers, this is also a terrifying "double-edged sword". Unless there is a doom for the loss of the country, the French power will not easily use this hole card.

……

The Crystal Cloister was trembling slightly.

The pursuers are near. I'm afraid it will be Nicholas who is chasing this time? Okard himself.

Stewart is nearing his end. It was a two-man jade door, and streamers of cyan, gold, red, and turquoise flowed through it.

The only way to get here is to honestly go through the hallway. Any means of space will fail in front of this corridor. For more than 900 years, I don't know how many legendary mages have studied this corridor, but no one has found anything special about it.

Incredibly, Stewart smiled.

Himself, and his colleagues, will undoubtedly die on the spot from the wrath of "that one". But at least, his daughter Wendy, and young Trenor and Gloria, these people can survive.

At the end of his life, Stewart, the seasoned bureaucrat, finally let go of everything he was obsessed with and turned his life into wings, so that the younger generation of the French power could continue to live freely under this sky as in the past.

"Open it......"

Stewart smeared his own blood on the door. Legend has it that there is a heavy price to pay for passing through this gate, and the blood of the chief mage of Elrios at the time is the only one that has been verified.

The blue sky is dead! Galaxy is dead! Now, as the chief mage of Elrios, he has to fulfill his first and final duties.

The gate, the hole opens.

……

Until the door is fully opened, Stewart still doesn't know what kind of dormitory "that one" will choose to sleep in, waiting for the day when he will wake up.

"Here, it's ......"

Stewart gasped slightly. The room was small, and the only eyes he had left were instantly in full view of it.

In Stewart's imagination, the place could well have been a mage's laboratory full of dust and worn instruments; or, as in the case of Palamédes' "Deep Dark Dome", a completely new realm made by the creator himself; Or maybe because of the capricious penchant of "that one", a magnificent palace.

But all these conjectures have been frustrated.

This small room resembles a vacant room of a country nobleman, except for a noticeable lack of furniture, and no doors or windows except for the jade door at the entrance. The wooden floors, walls, and ceilings should have aged without any signs of decay or even a trace of ash.

Stewart stared at the center of the room. It was a wide throne made of white jade. The unadorned throne stood alone in the empty room, exuding an inaccessible aura.

Stewart's expression froze.

Throne...... is empty.

The people he tried his best to wake up did not stay in the deepest part of this pure white city, as the blue sky and the galaxy said.

…… He was supposed to be here......

But the brutal truth is that the throne is empty. Stewart was presented with nothing but the vacant throne.

The air froze.

Then, Stewart heard the demonic voice of Nicholas behind him.

"I'm sorry, Stewart. The person you want to wake up is not here right now. It's time for your struggles to end, Stewart. ”

A blue-purple thunderbolt pierced Stewart's heart from behind.

The moment his soul was crushed and his consciousness completely disappeared, Stewart's daughter Wendy appeared in front of his eyes.

……

Stewart's body lunged forward. His blood was splattered on the pure white noble throne.

Nicholas watched all this in silence. Ionia's eyes were complicated. And the prison master looked furious.

"It's not what we said we had promised, Nicholas," said the warden, "and you owe me an explanation. ”

Stewart clearly didn't come here because of the empty room and lonely throne. There must have been some treasure hidden here that Stewart thought could be turned over, but he couldn't find it......

Nicholas acted as if he hadn't heard the prison master's words.

"'The glory of the bloodline will perish, but only the power of wisdom will endure,'" Nicholas said to himself, looking down at Stewart's corpse crouching in front of the throne, "and he carved this sentence on his own gate, but he himself did not understand the meaning of the sentence." ”

The prison master's face changed slightly. Ionia looked relieved.

"Oh, I think you're thinking wrong this time, Nicholas." Ionia said calmly.

"How?"

"He has something to say. ' Even if my family goes extinct, my life will last forever'," Ionia smiled strangely, "This is 'the one'. ”

"You mean, the owner of this seat is ......" From the conversation between Nicholas and Ionia, the prison master has already judged who the owner of the throne really is.

The Ripper of the Eastern Kingdoms.

Butcher of the alien race.

Destroyer of the Ancient Dragon.

A mage among mages.

Conquered the monsters of the sea of clouds.

The Great Lord of Pure White.

The ancestor of the Kingdom of Elrios, the predecessor of the French State of Errios, Jean? Pierre? King Elrios ......!

That's impossible! The prison master thought wildly. No, it's possible because of him. Only those who have partially cracked the time code and can use the time freeze spell are only possible...... The five dragons sealed in the city gates are the best example.

He must have frozen his time, waiting in a long slumber for future generations to break the "aging curse" so that he could truly live forever.

King Elrios must not have a good face for the mages of the French Powers who have subverted his own lineage. Unless the situation is exhausted, the Mage of the Legalist will not risk awakening King Elrios.

"According to the contract, you must tell me the cause and effect, Nicholas." The prison master said gloomily. Although he was confident, he did not feel that he had the slightest chance of escaping the wrath of that one.

The prison master speculates that the existence of King Elrios should be a secret between the legendary mages of the French Powers. If King Elrios was indeed sealed away on this underground throne, as Stewart had hoped, it would all be over.

But judging by Nicholas's bland reaction from beginning to end, he not only knew about the existence of King Elrios for a long time, but also knew that he was no longer on the Underground Throne. Stewart came here with his last breath, doomed to be in vain.

Why would Nicholas know something that none of the legendary mages of Elrios knew?

And King Elrios......

"When we get back to the earth and clean up the pieces, I'll tell you everything I can tell you," said Nicholas, "but I promise that the master of this throne will no longer be a threat to us." ”

It's a shame - it wasn't me who finally defeated the ancient mage, Nicholas thought to himself.

on the ground.

Solidar College, School District 1.

It has fallen to the undead army, and only ruins remain. But the headmaster's office, which belongs to the Lord of the Galaxy, is still unharmed.

The Lord of the Clouds quickly found what he was looking for.

"Galaxy's original search magic. Unexpectedly elevated this strange spell to the legendary level...... It's also convenient for me. ”

He tore open the legendary spell scroll.

"A body under the age of thirty, a strength above the blue sky level. These two conditions ...... Enough is enough. ”

"When the stars move, the canopy of heaven will be formed. Mark my spot, Curtain of the Stars. ”

……

"What?" Dimi and the maiden on the city wall looked up at the sky at the same time.

It's not the first time they've seen this spell.

In the Engor Plane Prison Incident, the Prime Minister tracked down the escapees from each plane prison through the legendary spell scroll given by the Lord of the Galaxy, and then the Emperor killed them in one fell swoop.

In the sky, there are thousands of stars, competing with the sun.

Then, the two azure stars broke away from their orbits and drifted towards the place where the girl and Dimi were.

More stars flocked into the distance, the edge of the "space blockade" zone.

……

"Dimi," the girl reacted immediately, and they were targeted by an enemy legendary mage's require spell, "I ...... Feed? Dimi? ”

"Victoria," the moment he found himself about to be locked by the enemy's legendary spellcaster, the pain, fear, and confusion in Dimi's heart all disappeared, and the peace that even he felt incredible, "I will use my deity to entangle the enemy later." You take advantage of this time to escape—"

Multiple choice questions of life and death.

I'm afraid that I and Victoria will be the enemy's last target in this space blockade. The young prince did not hesitate to give up his life so that his beloved could have a glimmer of life.

"What do you say?" The girl said angrily, eager to wake up with a punch to Dimi, "Dimi—you are the emperor now!" I'm going to block it, and you have to live! ”

"I can't ......"

"It's just a ...... Rational question," said the girl, "rest assured, I will not sacrifice myself in vain." Even if one of the two of us is gone, the other still has less than 20% chance of escaping! I ......"

The girl took a deep breath.

“…… I have another way to get both of us alive," she said, "and I'm 80% sure." Can you trust me, Dimi? We can do it. ”

Two stars cast a blue glow above their heads.

There is no time left.

"I can't imagine that there are two more who haven't escaped." Staring at the location indicated by the stars, the Lord of the Clouds narrowed his eyes.
