The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from the zenith of a round stone tower, accompanied by a low, hoarse moan.

After a while, there were hurried footsteps, followed by a young voice: "Mentor, what's wrong with you?" What happened? There was a deep sense of concern in his voice.

"Help me into the tower, I want to rest." Weak voice.

"Okay, mentor, I'll help you up, alas, slow down, slow down, you'll be there soon...... Be careful......"

The sound grew lower and lower, and finally disappeared into the round tower.

Calm returned to the Black Forest.

Inside the tower, a young man who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old carefully helped the frail and tired master of the dark arts, Hagus, down the spiral.

Hagus looked very embarrassed, his hair was scattered, his steps were vain, his eyes were scattered, and even his previous black hair turned white.

"Mentor, what the hell is going on?" Young man.

"Don't ask, just help me into the tower." Hagus didn't want to say more, a famous great magician was made to look like this by a few little guys who had just graduated from the magic academy, and he didn't have the face to say it.

"Okay, mentor, I won't ask." The young man nodded.

The young man had gray hair, dark blue eyes, deep sockets, and a hooked nose, and he was extremely respectful of Hagus's demeanor.

He was an orphan taken in by Haegs, named Hines, and spent five years in the Round Tower, playing the dual role of servant and disciple.

After a while, Hines helped Hagus into the bedroom, and half-helped and half-hugged Hagus to lie on the bed: "Mentor, slow down, slow down." ”

"Mentor, what else do you need?" Hines asked.

"Go to the alchemy room. Bring the bottle of potion with the red label on it, be quick. Hagus gasped for a few breaths, he felt a splitting headache, his whole head fell into a state of numbness, and his eyes were even darker, and he was looking at things with double vision.

The after-effects of the magic backlash are getting worse and worse. Hagus has a lot of experience, and he knows that the symptoms of regurgitation this time are very good, and it is useless to rest, and it must be suppressed with the help of medicine.

"Good thing, mentor." Hines respectfully exited the bedroom.

"Hurry up!" Hagus urged.

"Yes, Mentor."

Seeing his adopted disciple bowing down, bowing his head, and exiting the bedroom with a respectful expression, Hagus was still very satisfied.

This disciple has been in custody for five years. It was a child in a village in Citis back then. He had just tested the power of a magic in that village, and when he had finished testing, he was surprised to see that this kid was still alive, and he became interested for a while, so he brought him back.

For five years, he had been in awe of himself, much to Hagus's satisfaction, and the only downside was that the kid was too curious. Always sneaking a look at his magical books.

Thinking of this, Hagus couldn't help but sneer: "Little guy." It's delusional to want to learn magic from me. Those books are full of traps, if you want to learn, let you learn, let you know the disadvantages of curiosity, ha...... Hiss ~ headache. This Russell deserves to go to hell! ”

As the Dark Mage cursed his foes with the most vicious words in the world, Hines scurried in, carefully holding the bottle of spiritual healing potion he had spent so much money refining in both hands.

"Mentor, your medicine." Hines walked up to the head of the bed and knelt on the ground. Hold the flask above your head.

"Don't you see that I don't have the strength? Pour in a bowl and feed me. Hagus was in a bad mood and gave a lesson in a bad mood, and when he was done, he gasped a few more times.

"Yes, the disciple is wrong." Hines immediately complied, poured the dark blue viscous potion from the bottle into the bowl, and then half sat down on the bed, holding Hagus's body with one hand and the potion in the other, and slowly poured it into Hagus's mouth.

Hagus took a slow sip, felt that it tasted right, and let go of what little guard he had in his heart and began to drink.

After drinking for a while, he reprimanded: "Don't shake your hands, don't spill the medicine." ”

"Mentor, I was wrong." Hines trembled slightly in a low voice, and he tried to suppress the shaking of his arms.

Haggs continued to take a sip, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, the taste of this medicine was right, but the effect after entering the stomach was not right, the real spiritual recovery potion, as soon as it was drunk in the stomach, the brain would be much clearer, why didn't this work?

"It's not good, this kid is trying to hurt me!" Hagus reacted quickly, and pushed his hand outward, trying to push the medicine bowl in Hines's hand away.

As a result, he didn't succeed, and Hines's hand didn't move, and he still poured the potion into Hagus's mouth.

"Ahem... Cough! Hagus coughed repeatedly, and a magical light appeared on his hand, it was a third-level ablation technique!

When this magic hits the target, it will melt whether it is a person or an object.

The 'poof' ablation was sent out, and it also hit Hines's body, but it had no effect.

Out of the corner of his eye, Hagus saw a thin layer of light like flowing water appear, it was a mana shield, look at this luster, at least level four.

He was horrified in his heart: "This kid is hiding so deeply! ”

In a few moments, a bowl of potion was finished, and Hagus felt that his brain was so groggy that he could barely think, but without the pain of the magic backlash, he leaned quietly on the back of the bed, and found that he was still awake, and could clearly perceive what was happening around him.

There was a voice, it was Hines's.

"Mentor, you must be very strange about the name of this potion, right?" The young man's voice could no longer be heard with respect, with a kind of triumph in teasing the prey.

Hagus did want to know.

"This potion...... Ha Luha, don't tell you, guess for yourself. Hines looked at Hagus's half-open eyes and smiled wickedly.

Another bottle of potion appeared in his hand, and he poured it out, and the potion inside was silver, like mercury.

He poured slowly, talking as one fell down.

"Five years ago, I saw you put a demonized thorn seed into my mother's mouth and test our werewolf magic on my father. Five years ago, I saw you ravage my sister who loved me the most. Five years ago, my peaceful and beautiful life was destroyed by you, and I. I can only hide behind the wall and watch, watch and watch you wreak havoc on everything about me! At that time, I swore that one day, I would let you taste the same pain. ”

Hagus didn't speak. I regret it very much in my heart, regret that I was too arrogant, thinking that everything was under control, but I didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

"Mentor, you must be trying to say that this is the cruelty and cold-bloodedness necessary to learn the dark arts, right? Yes, you were right. Over the years, I've learned your magic. Learned your coldness too, just like now. ”

Hines brought the silver potion to Hagus's mouth, pinched his mouth open, and poured it straight in.

"This potion is a spiritual extraction potion that I have refined after many failures...... Well, to be precise, it's a failure. The main reason is that the feelings of the person who drinks the medicine are not taken into account, after drinking. Yes...... It's a little painful. ”

Hines smiled, then his face suddenly changed, and he smiled: "Actually, I know how to improve the Dao, but I just don't want to change it, Ha Luha." ”

Hagus had already tasted the side effects of the damn psychic extraction potion, and he felt his brain start to throb. It hurts more and more, and it seems that someone is digging out his brain with a spoon.

Damn it, even though he was in such pain, his consciousness remained awake and he couldn't faint.

Hines looked at the archmage in front of him with pity. Looking at his pitiful appearance with white eyes and trembling all over, he smiled: "You must want to faint, but unfortunately, you can't!" Because in the previous potion, I added a few more potions that did not affect the taste, and one of them was the brain marrow powder of the sleepless. How can a sleepless faint, isn't it, Mentor? ”

The Great Magician Hagus responded with even more intense struggles and tremors, and he was suffering from terrible agony.

"I'm so happy, I'm so happy!" Hines smiled hideously, and suddenly looked up at the sky: "Great Hades, thank you for your guidance, let me have where I am today, and let me complete my revenge!" ”

There seemed to be a dim glow in the void that shone on his face, and with a gentle touch, Hines closed his eyes, feeling the light of the gods.

"Very good, very good, your talent, your will, your forbearance, I admire it, Hagus is old, you will inherit everything from him and become my favorite child."

"I am glad at your patronage."

Hines opened his eyes and looked down at Hagus.

The potion had taken effect, and the evil archmage's brain had shrunk completely, and from the outside, his eyes were sunken and his skin was like bark, and he lay there like a dried corpse, already dead.

On his forehead, there was a translucent bead the size of a pigeon's egg that emitted a shimmering light, which was the spiritual power that had been extracted, and it exuded strong magical fluctuations.

Hines took the bead and pressed it to his forehead, and with a hard effort, the bead entered his mind, and he began to meditate.

A large amount of memories, a large amount of magical knowledge poured into Hines's memories like seawater, almost drowning him, but Hines was like a good sailor, floating in this sea of information, always staying awake.

Slowly, a faint silver light came out of Hines's eyes, which was the embodiment of powerful spiritual power, representing the great power of the great magician.

After a few more hours, the silver light was full of convergence and vanished, and Hines let out a long breath and withdrew from his meditation.

As soon as he moved his hand, a third-level ablation technique was used with his bare hands, and he took the staff, and immediately several seventh-level magic flashed in his mind, ready to be released at any time.

This is the power of the great magician, and Hines was extremely happy, immersed in the powerful power, and his heart was extremely satisfied.

"Nope! Not enough! A voice suddenly rang in his head, it was Hades, the god of the underworld.

"God, do I have many opponents?"

"A lot! A lot! You've inherited everything Hagers has to do, so go and fulfill his last wish. ”

"Is that the young man named Russell? What am I going to do? ”

"Kill him! Let his soul fall into the underworld. ”

"I see." (To be continued......)
