Chapter 20: Twelve Years of Bondage
Three-on-one, do you want to fight the wheels together, or dare to fight against three top knights at the same time, and this confidence of Milolus is not unreasonable, because he knows that he has advantages that the three enemies in front of him do not have: he is fully clothed in armor and has an uninjured and energetic body
Relatively speaking, his three enemies (if you count the enemies): William and Paternin lack the protection of the armor and have just experienced the big battle, scarred; John, although he is wearing the full armor, he has been tortured by the poison to the point that he has half a human life left, and Milorus thinks that his chances of victory are too great, as long as he defeats the opponent in front of him and returns the little girl, the task will be completed, the fly in the ointment is that Miloleus never expected William Mano to stand opposite him at this moment
Time seemed to have stopped, and tension filled the air, ready to erupt into a vicious battle
It was so lively, it seems that I was not late, and a sudden voice broke the tension
Not far from them, a white ball of light generated by spatial teleportation magic quickly formed, and then a person walked out of the light cluster slowly, only to see that the person who came was a middle-aged man, medium height, wearing an extremely ordinary gray magic robe cloak, it can be seen that his face is relatively thin, but judging from its outline, he should have been a handsome young man, he held a magic wand with a green crystal ball on the top, and the most striking thing was a round badge pinned to the chest of the man's magic robe: it was an open magic book, with a pattern painted on itThe symbol of the four main elements of water, fire, and earth, and on the periphery of the magic book, there is a large circle with patterns representing the twelve magic sub-systems of wind, thunder, space, flowing water, steam, ice, burning, explosion, energy, earth, gravity, and rocks - this is the symbol of the Snowy Federation, the country of mages located in the Far North
The mage of the Snowy Federation, what is he doing here, and the four knights on the scene asked such questions at the same time
Puternin saw that the person in front of him was very familiar, it was actually him
Regunor, is it you, Pathenin flipped through his memories that it was an adventure that he would never forget twelve years ago, and the magician who suddenly appeared was the same companion he had with twelve years earlier: Reguno Gagarin
You're a mage, looking at Puternin for a long time, and then suddenly exclaiming, Puternin Puternin McMahon, oh my God, how did you become the way you are
In the past twelve years, many things have changed, not to mention a person's appearance, think about it, from a heroic knight back then to an uncle who has gone through vicissitudes like now, Putnain's tone is somewhat helpless, but what are you doing here
I learned the divination technique from the Gamboki people, and I need my help, and Regunor looked around him, and Nunu said, Now it seems that you really need your help
That's right, Reguno, I need your help protecting these children, Patenin said, gesturing to the children behind him
Wait, feeling a little bad, Milorus yelled at Regunor, you ungodly magicians, you'd better go back to the Far North Exile at once, or you'll be taken to the Inquisition, where the most cruel cool type awaits you
Is this a threat, seeing the attitude of this paladin and the corpse of the dead child that Putnin was holding in his arms, Reguno understood what Puternin was talking about protecting the child, he was completely unmoved in the face of the threat of Milorus, and with a smile on his face as if he were talking about the sad paladin, you have lost your heart
Don't talk nonsense, do you get out of the way, Milorus clenched his two-handed greatsword to his side, and put on a posture ready to charge
Battles between knights and magicians usually don't last long, and the victory can be decided in a single turn, although a mage's powerful attack magic, once cast, can cost the lives of 100 knights; However, during the time it takes to chant the spell, a knight can kill the mage 100 times, so when a knight fights a mage, either the mage blows up the knight who is still in the middle of the charge, or the knight who rushes in front of him hacks the mage in the chant to death, and neither side has a chance to attack a second time, but this is only the case in the confrontation between the middle and low level mages and the knights, and when the high mage fights the high knight, it will be a different situation
With a sarcastic smile, Reguno showed no sign of chanting a spell as he faced the paladin who was about to charge towards him, only to see him raise his left index finger upward, and the finger above his finger flashed with a burst of pale blue light, focusing into a small pale blue ball of light
He didn't need to chant a spell to cast magic...... Milorus, who was about to attack, looked at the scene in front of him with a little surprise, and he didn't expect that this guy in ordinary clothes had actually reached such a high level of magic cultivation
Advanced mages don't need to chant spells to cast them. Low magic, they can calmly knock down the knight before the knight rushes to a distance that can endanger their own life; although the battle spirit of a high-level knight can also resist some magic attacks, but the war spirit must be slowly burned by the continuous battle process, a magician who knows how to cast spells without a spell will let a knight fight with him after burning the war spirit, of course not, so in the battle between a high-level magician and a high-level knight, the magician is still slightly superior, of course, the world is fair, and it takes much longer to train a high-level magician than to train a high-level knight, taking humans as an example, like John, Milorus, they reached the highest level of knighthood in their 30s, royal knight or paladin, that is a fairly normal thing, but to cultivate to the limit of the magician, the level of the first ring mage must be at least sixty years old, and the current magician is at most in his 30s, according to common sense, the magician at this age is at most the level of the fourth or fifth ring, not only Milorus, but also John and William could not imagine that he had actually reached the realm of spellless casting
The surrounding light blue water elements continued to gather towards the magic light ball on Regunor's finger, and in just three or four seconds, the magic light ball had grown dozens of times larger, it was really miserable, Reguno sighed and shook his head, his left hand waved slightly, and the huge magic light ball on the tip of his finger flew out in the direction of his finger, and this magic light ball did not fly towards Milorus, who was hostile to him, but flew towards the burning village
Boom--boom, the magic ball of light exploded over the village, turning into a torrential rain, rainwater falling from the sky on the burning buildings, dissipating with the flames, producing sizzling sounds and bursts of white steam, the village fire was quickly extinguished, this rainstorm was only confined to the confines of the village, and the sky was still clear outside the village, which showed that the magician's control of water magic had reached the point of perfection
Milorus, I advise you not to make too many enemies, it is better for Pathenin to remind Milorus, who was surprised by this powerful force in front of him, this person in front of him is a magic genius, twelve years ago, he was only twenty-six years old, he has reached the level of the four-ring mage, and now he is probably already many times stronger than before
Is a magical genius...... John suddenly remembered something, the man in front of him was the rumored youngest mage in the Snowy Federation, the seventh in the core of power, Reguno McMahon, as a soldier of the kingdom, collecting and understanding the intelligence of various countries is a necessary job
I can't care if he has one ring or a few rings that hinder my execution, anyone who stands in my way will die under my sword, even in the face of a powerful ring mage, but the pride of being a paladin makes Milorus still refuse to give up
Reguno shook his head helplessly in the face of the stubborn man in front of him and said: If the strength I showed just now can't make you give up, then what about this now, Reguno snapped his fingers
Soon everyone present felt that the sky suddenly darkened
Suddenly someone exclaimed, it was a floating ship that suddenly appeared in the sky that darkened the sky, this airship was not too large compared to other flying ships, but it just blocked the sunlight, so that everyone present was in a huge shadow
The Templars exploded their nests, and the four crossbowmen mounted their crossbow bolts, which were their only resistance against the formidable airship, which was of course negligible
As far as I know, the main force of the Griffin Air Cavalry of the Fayele Empire is being deployed in the southeast of the Pole Kingdom to prevent a counterattack from the Elven Forest, and Regunor raised his eyebrows and said, Mr. Paladin, please forgive me for my bluntness, and the little people you brought have no chance of winning at all
Do you want to provoke a war between the Holy Light Cult and the Snowy Federation, in the face of overwhelming power, Milorus roared angrily
Regunor closed his eyes and ignored him, for the mage knew that the enemy in front of him was actually defending his pathetic pride
Milorus, let's go, William, who had not spoken, spoke
What did you say
Please remember that the duel between me and Brother Puternin is not over yet, and you must understand that you can only take the girl away if I win, and you have no right to take her away without permission, and William said his words word for word, without the slightest room for manoeuvre, because it was a matter of his reputation
You...... Okay, William, you do it yourself, after you go back, I will definitely report this to His Majesty the Pope, Milorus left a cruel word, turned to the highly guarded men, and then he turned to Reguno, and said, "You listen to the dog that uses magic, the Central Church and His Majesty the Pope will not give up, you and your poor mage country are waiting for the fate of the ruined Miè", and with a wave of his hand, he left William and led his eight men to lift the body of Duke the Jackal and leave without looking back
Watching Milorus and their departure, William sighed: You are right, big brother, he has lost his heart
William, what are you going to do in the future, you openly disobeyed the Pope's order, and now you can't return to the Pope's Island, Ternin asked with concern
I know it's my own decision, I don't regret it, big brother, don't forget, we still have a duel with no winner
Do you still want to fight
Of course
Well, I'll wait for you, and if I'm already dead before the duel starts, I'll arrange for my successor to complete the duel
Well, William agreed, picked up his round shield, armor and cloak, mounted his war horse and left
Are they all gone, Reguno saw such an ending and said silently
At this time, John Duncan, who had been maintaining a fighting posture, spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground, and the large amount of adrenaline produced by the high alert just now disappeared at this time, except for the removal of danger, and his body could no longer support it
Uncle John, Susan rushed up and lay on top of John, Uncle, you don't have any more trouble, Owen is gone, I can't lose you anymore
Putnnin came to John's side, and he cast a light spell on John, but John didn't make any difference
Mr. Royal Knight, you have been hit by the 'Black Widow's Tears', this poison is a special recipe for the dark elves, except for the dark elves, no one has an antidote, although there was once a priest with a very high cultivation of light magic who cast a 'healing technique' on you, but it was only to postpone the onset of the poison for two days, Puternin said helplessly, you have been fighting for many days, and now the poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the two paladins just now are right, you have less than an hour to live, I'm sorry, I can't help it
No, Uncle Merkone we fell into the creek in front of us with Susan's uncle last night, and Susan's uncle was cured this morning, let's just put him in the creek again, and Joyka came over and offered her own proposal
The useless stream only rejuvenated his senses and did not remove his poison
Susan cried, first her father, then her brother, she looked at the half handkerchief on her wrist, then Owen, and then Uncle John, why do you care about Sophia, and the people are gone
Silly boy, don't be sad, Uncle is very happy, because Uncle's task has been completed, John gently wiped away Susan's tears, and then he turned his head to Paternin and Reguno, and said that the two of them came to John's rescue the first time they met, so it can be seen that you are good people, Mr. Paladin, please don't blame yourself, I also know that I can't help myself, but there is one thing that I can't worry, please help
Do you want us to help take care of that little girl, said the mage?
Yes, she is the princess of the Pole Kingdom, and when Her Royal Highness Sophia handed over the little princess to me, His Majesty the King once said that the princess is not only the future of the Pole Kingdom, but also related to the well-being of all the people on the three continents of Olopa
We understand, please feel free to leave the princess to us
Thank you for that, I can finally feel at ease, and then John stretched out his trembling hand and stroked Susan-Sophia's tearful face, Your Royal Highness, Princess, you are about the same age as Chen's daughter who just died, and in the past few days, Chen has regarded Her Royal Highness as his own daughter, if there are two good people who can take care of Princess, Chen finally let go of his worries, goodbye, Princess, Chen is very tired, and now he has to rest
With that, John Duncan smiled and closed his eyes and swallowed the last breath he had desperately kept, the lion of Poehler who had once been the mighty kingdom of Poehler passed away on the morning of May 13, 1675
Putnnin laid down Owen's body next to a weeping Sophia and several bereaved children, and he stepped aside, his hands closed, and he quietly pondered some questions
These children were about to suffer such terrible pain at such a young age, and Regunor came to him and waited for twelve years, but he did not expect that this would be the end of the day
Reguno, I want you to help take care of these children, okay?
No problem, I will definitely raise these four children to adulthood
It's not four, it's five
What do you say, Regunor looked at Paternin suspiciously
And he Pathening pointed to little Owen who was lying on the ground and lost his life, and said with a stern expression that he would get a second life, just like I did twelve years ago.
