Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Deliverance Chapter 3: The Man

"Come on, come on, sit down for me!Heh, you little rabbit, do you hear me?!"

The viscount let the poor chief of the guard go for the time being, and punished him to go to the firewood room to face the wall first. And then actively "invited" others to their seats.

"This Viscount...... Ahem" Looking at such an enthusiastic viscount, Yu Dongshui couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

It must be said that the viscount was the most active and enthusiastic nobleman he had ever seen.

No, whether the viscount can be called a nobleman or not is a question worth considering.

In the eyes of the average aristocracy, the status of magicians is very low, and they are not in the stream at all.

If it weren't for the Holy Emperor's Church's promotion of watching magic as "necessary food for thought" (in fact, the people in the church don't have a good opinion of magicians), the nobles would have beaten magicians like charlatans or beggars in the first place.

"It's also worthy of being more famous in the industry than my magic king, [the best man in the empire]. Yu Dongshui thought like this while waiting for everyone to sit down.

It's really hard to imagine how such an aristocrat who is close to obsession with magic could cut down the magician before.

"Or is it just because of my reputation as the Magic King that I'm so attentive, and I have a very general attitude towards other lesser-known magicians?"

Yu Dongshui was puzzled and chose to give up directly.

"Let's get started, Magic King. Are those eggs your old master?" as soon as the Viscount spoke, he immediately corrected:

"No, no, no, I'm sorry, I'm just talking too straight......"

The magician's frown fell.

You know, inquiring about the magician's methods is a big taboo in the magic world. Especially [unique skills], it will make the other party even more unhappy.

It seems that the viscount is not a complete layman, which makes Yu Dongshui's attitude towards him change slightly.

After all, it is a very pleasant thing to show your skills in front of your peers and make them applaud.

"You shouldn't be called old, you are used to it! Eh, what kind of expression is that! Don't worry, you are not old, you definitely do not look old! You are not old and continue. ”

"I@%#......" Yu Dongshui suddenly spit out a mouthful of old blood - this ...... Look up at this guy! It's just a stupid big guy who is only responsible for being cheated on money!

The viscount thought that Yu Dongshui was still a little dissatisfied, so he said: "Don't bully me into being honest, forget it, I'll give you two more pieces of Emperor Gold later, how about it?"

Yu Dongshui nodded with a stiff smile.

As long as you give more gold coins, I won't frown when you are your ancestor for eighteen generations!

"Okay! The Magic King is magnanimous!, so let's get started!" the viscount was visibly happy again.

The people sitting next to him looked at him with a stupid look - I must have been looking at him like this for a few years.

Although it is not as luxurious as the nobles of Jiuchi Meat Forest in other places, it is indeed a bit too much to give a reward to a Jianghu artist equivalent to the annual income of ordinary people.

It is no wonder that the viscount's notoriety is even more infamous than that of ordinary nobles, so that for many years he has been firmly in the top few assassination targets of assassins, and no one can shake it.

That's why the chief of the guard is always nervous.

If it weren't for Yu Dongshui's frequent use of half of his income to help the poor, I believe that a liar with a ridiculously high income like him would be treated as a lackey of the aristocracy on the street and break a leg, right?

The Magic King shook his head, revealing the few metal eggs he had held in his hands at some point.

Looking at this silver ball, Yu Dongshui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In this era when mechanical props are very unfamiliar, the things in his hands are like miracles in front of ordinary people.

Even himself, a magician who made a deception profession, first saw this guy's inventions, and for a moment thought that these were either treasures left behind by the Immortal Emperor, or a trick more skilled than him.

But the answer was dumbfounded: technology.

To say that this guy came to this place a few years ago, when Yu Dongshui was just a little magician who was not very skillful, and he was often despised and demolished.

When the friend met him, he seemed to be looking for something.

The first thing you saw when you entered the city was Yu Dongshui, who was squatting next to the city wall, ready to solicit guests.

However, that guy was not very interested in it originally, but his expression moved slightly when he heard Yu Dongshui say the word magic, and then asked what magic was, and gave Yu Dongshui a few gold coins from unknown countries.

Yu Dongshui, who had benefited, naturally talked endlessly about the past and present life of magic, talked about the way of deceiving people, and by the way, he even wanted to win over this person to learn magic together.

But that person is only interested in the "past life" of magic, and is not interested in the "present life".

Especially about the story of the Great Magician and the Emperor of Eternal Life, he asked Yu Dongshui to tell as much detail as he could.

This is a story that is well known to women and children! Did this guy have no childhood? Wasn't he frightened by his mother's words like "the reincarnation of a great magician to catch disobedient children"?

In the face of such a generous customer, Yu Dongshui didn't want to let go of the opportunity to make a lot of money, so he put away his doubtful gaze a little and began to talk.

At the end, the man said, "Well, that's good. Your knowledge is useful, or specifically mocking that guy's existence, I like it. Are you interested in making a friend, I can help you become a generation of great magicians. ”

Yu Dongshui was very happy to hear this, but it was only temporary, and he also realized what the other party's seemingly ill-intentioned smile meant: "It's not that simple, right?"

The man smiled more visibly and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly way:

"Just make a friend, that's all. ”

Later, he rented a house, and Yu Dongshui would go to him every day to sit. Although they always talk about magic, artifacts and other legends;

It wasn't until later when he talked about the Demon Hunting Association that the strange light in his eyes made Yu Dongshui shocked.

With that kind of look, even Yu Dongshui, who has now reached the point of "old treacherous and slippery", still can't figure it out.

The Demon Hunter Society, a mysterious association founded by the Emperor of Eternal to fight against his former mentor, archmage, and many powerful monsters.

Unlike the Monster Province, the Demon Hunting Association operates underground all year round, and I heard that the high-level leaders of the Demon Hunting Bureau in each sub-region are in contact with the various branches of the Demon Hunting Association to suppress powerful monsters together;

At the same time, the Demon Hunting Association also has a legendary super weapon that is enough to defeat the reincarnation of the Great Mage, called [Salvation Armor], which is worn by the strongest punisher of the Association in the past dynasties.

There is very little information about this mysterious organization, and even the information that the [Salvation Armor] and the Great Mage will be reincarnated was accidentally leaked during a report meeting in the Monster Ministry.

Although the news was blocked again at the first time, it still did not completely shut the mouths of the listeners after all, resulting in the Demon Hunting Association becoming more and more popular among the people over the years, and became an almost legendary existence.

As for why the Monster Province held a report meeting, it was also requested by the Immortal Emperor back then, in order to appease the people's fear of monsters and increase trust in the Monster Province.

It was only after that secret leak that the magicians officially named their profession magicians.

claimed to be a mockery of the existence of a great magician, and took the opportunity to gain the favor of some big people, so he gradually went to every corner of all classes.

Yu Dongshui's friend was very interested in the Demon Hunting Society, in fact, he was very interested in all things magical.

In order to help Yu Dongshui collect more information, he began to make more and more strange things.

From the ink that fades automatically, to the cylinder that can emit a beam of light, and then to the so-called "Super Invincible Cool Crazy Cock Silent Floating Egg" in his own hands, each work makes Yu Dongshui feel that his world view collapses.

Collapse is collapse, whatever, if he can fool people, Yu Dongshui has such a mentality, and he has performed magic everywhere and gained a lot of fame.

A year ago, when he reached his peak, he was found by the emperor who visited Weifu privately, and sent a convoy of hundreds of people to escort Yu Dongshui to the palace, and finally got the title of "Magic King" with one hundred taels of gold.

Of course, during this period, Yu Dongshui also intentionally or unintentionally helped to find out the information of the Demon Hunting Association.

After trying many times, he found that bribery was the best way, and kept getting words out of the mouth of the retired leader of the monster bureau, and then told that friend one by one.

Although there is a slight feeling of being used, I even feel that there is an ominous premonition.

"Is he the reincarnation of the Great Magician?" the question popped into his mind from time to time, but was quickly erased.

Anyway, if you are rich and famous, at most you will say that you don't know the identity of the other party at all, and it is the other party who threatens you to do it, depending on whether they believe the words of the great magician or the words of the magic king.

And, although, in the official narrative, the Great Magician and his reincarnation are the embodiment of sin and the filth of the world.

But in the eyes of some of the older generation who have seen the reincarnation of the Great Magician, the official statement is completely a fart, and now the people who have been saved and rescued by the reincarnation of the Great Magician are still alive and well!

Since there are not a few people who hold the last point of view, and they are all respected elders, the official only issued a warning and stopped it.

After all, chasing and killing the reincarnation of the Great Magician is the work of the Demon Hunting Association, more precisely, the punisher, and there is no need for the official to wade into troubled waters for this matter and disturb the people.

And Yu Dongshui, don't you still ask a friend to ask for a small invention, to swagger and cheat, and the life is also very nourishing.

Although recently that friend said that it was time to go to the Frost New Domain. Yu Dongshui also said "generously", go, it's okay.

I don't know what the Frost New Domain is...... Maybe I heard a typo, it should be a far away place, maybe it's a place outside the territory of the Immortal Emperor, there is no need to ask;

Second, this buddy promised that his invention is resistant to blows and falls, and has a long shelf life, which is enough for Dongshui to last most of his life. His exact words were:

"Although most of it is so-called technology...... But in order to ensure the service life, I still did a little bit of tricks on battery life......"

For this friend, the current Magic King is very relieved, so he didn't have too much to check before he was ready to start the next performance - floating.

――――――――――――――

"Your Excellency. ”

In a room with black tones as the main body and a gloomy atmosphere as a whole, a middle-aged man also dressed in a black robe took a letter from the hand of the messenger brother who was frightened by the decoration of the room, walked forward respectfully, and handed it to the young man at the desk.

The little brother who delivered the letter was really scared, and the moment the letter was taken off, he called out with a sentence of "Mom!" and ran to the exit with a stream of urine.

The young man was obviously affected by the younger brother's behavior, and frowned: "That's a disposable, right?"

"Naturally. The middle-aged man slowly walked to the door, turned around and threw a hidden weapon in the direction of the little brother's escape.

Almost at the same time, a scream was heard not far away.

"Cleaned up. The young man's brow furrowed slightly, and he opened the envelope and read the letter.

The young man, also wearing a robe, was darker than the others around him, dark purple, and more luxurious and ornamented.

Moreover, everyone present had the same emblem tattooed on their necks, like a magic array, with complex and beautiful stripes.

On the right side of the young man, there stood a man dressed in dark red, who was supposed to be a guard, and not far to the left, there was a statue of the demon, which was enough to prove the position of the group.

"Hmph......" The young man who had finished reading the letter snorted disdainfully, and put the letter on the lamp beside him, and the white paper was immediately engulfed by a flame and gradually turned to ashes.

"Is that him?" a cold, emotionless voice suddenly sounded from the young man's right.

Everyone's eyes unconsciously looked upward, and when they recognized the comer, their expressions moved slightly, and then they regained their composure, including the young man and the guard.

"That's right. The young man's gaze slowly shifted to the right, and finally stopped at a man who had appeared at some point, dressed in clothes that he knew was the assassin.

"How to say. "It's still cold.

"Let's just pay attention to whether there are other forces. The young man's tone was disdainful, and he tilted his head back and said, "That man...... Hey, I was scared back then, and I was suspicious. ”

"I don't think so. The man who came later said, "He is right, you should really learn from him about predicting the enemy's strength and being well prepared." ”

The young man's eyes suddenly sharpened and looked to the side with anger, but they were long gone, only the shadows of the fire danced rhythmically.

"These guys ......" the young man's mood returned to calm: "It's too cautious." ”

In the silent room, the young man's words echoed after his silence: "Not bad." ”
