073 Wild Hunt and White Frost

When the Assassins arrived at the Academy of Magic, they found it silent and empty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

You know, mages have very irregular schedules, and it's not uncommon for them to stay up all night in order to study magic or alchemy. The last time the Assassins infiltrated the Academy of Magic at night, they found that it was almost the same as during the day, with mages walking and chatting everywhere, causing a lot of trouble for the task of stealing Prometheus tablets.

Seeing this, Ayub was ecstatic: "I don't know why those mages are gone, but for us, this is definitely good news!" ”

However, when the group of Assassins approached the library, Ayub's fiery heart was quickly frozen by the raging blizzard.

What a terrible sight!

With the library as the center, the land with a radius of thousands of acres was originally lush and wooded. At this time, it has been transformed into a snowy northern snowscape.

The wind was raging and the snow was flying. Ayub even found that the snowflakes were mixed with an evil yellowish color, which stained the otherwise clean and immaculate snow scene.

What's more, cold! Bitterly cold! It's as if it's going to freeze the soul!

Although Ayub was born in the hot sands of the Middle East, he has not seen ice and snow. He swore that the abnormal snowstorm in front of him made people shiver even more than the Norwegian winter in December.

Luckily, the Assassins were far from the center of the blizzard, so they were able to barely hold on.

Illario looked around, finally knowing where the mages in the academy had gone.

Four mountains of dirt that had been improvised by spells stood abruptly near the library. On each dirt mountain, dozens of mages gathered. At this time, they are uniting to form a magic circle, manipulating the magic power, holding up a huge protective shield, fighting against the blizzard and preventing it from continuing to spread.

At the foot of the dirt mountain, scattered corpses wrapped in mage robes were scattered, and now they were about to be completely buried by the wind and snow. It seems that not every mage is lucky enough to get inside the shield in time.

"In order to fight this blizzard, the entire Academy of Magic has dispatched ......"

However, for the mages, it is enough to not just suppress the invasion of the blizzard with a protective shield.

Along with the blizzard came a large number of black-armored warriors. They wore horned iron helmets, their faces were obscured by skull masks, their bodies were full of hideous and cruel aura, and the long knives in their hands had a unique arc, and their blades were colder than frost.

Not only are these black-armored warriors impressive, but they also have a special breed of hounds. Furrowed with light blue spiked back armor, these hounds are as large as calves, ferocious, and able to use their frost powers to attack their enemies.

Even if he didn't have a lot of magical knowledge, Illario could immediately see that these hounds were magically created creatures.

But whether it is a strong black-armored warrior or a fierce frost hound, it is not as impressive as the huge black battleship hovering in the middle of the wind and snow.

The huge hull of the ship obscures the sky and the sun. Towering black sails, pointing to the sky.

Even if you just stand on the ground and look up, this black battleship gives people a huge oppression, making people feel like a mountain.

Illario and his fellow Assassins stood behind a wall to escape the blizzard. He has seen a lot and traveled to various countries, but at this time, he was suddenly recalled by the black battleship.

"Nagilfa ......," Illario said silently.

The intersection of the celestial spheres not only brought magic to this world, brought many terrifying creatures from the other world, but also brought the culture and knowledge of the other world.

For example, the most famous Gwent card.

Although Illario also likes to play a few games with others, what he is really interested in is the many myths and legends from other worlds.

Among them is a legendary memory of the "War of the End", which Illarion has long forgotten, but now it is suddenly evoked.

The end of the epoch is coming, the blizzard of hoarfrost and wolves is raging, and Najrfa will come. It's a giant ship made of dead man's nails, and its crew is made up of evil spirits......

Illario didn't expect that the legend of the other world would become a reality in this world. White frost and blizzards, the black ship Nagilfa, and the warriors in black armor like demons...... Could it be that the end of the world is coming?

Illario shuddered—not from the cold environment, but from the fear deep within.

With the Hidden Blade in hand, the Assassin has nothing to fear, even the most formidable of the enemy. But when the catastrophe that destroys the world comes, no matter how determined a warrior is, he will feel powerless.

At this time, most of the low-level mages in the magic academy gathered on the four dirt mountains, trying to maintain the magic shield and prevent the blizzard from continuing to spread.

Other mages with strong combat effectiveness fought to the death with many black-armored warriors and their hounds within the protective shield.

Although the mages were very strong in combat, the black-armored warriors on the battleship Nagilfa continued to appear through the portal, and soon suppressed the mages with numerical superiority.

Seeing such a situation, how could Ayub miss it?

"Brothers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The mage and the unidentified enemy are fiercely engaged and cannot escape. We were able to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the library and seize the tablet of Prometheus! ”

After Ayub finished speaking, he took out a row of potions from his waist that were neatly fastened on his belt.

"This is an alchemical potion prepared with the scorching sun cactus in the desert region of North Africa as the main ingredient. Drink it, and even in Scandinavia in December, you'll be able to sleep naked for a night in the wild. ”

The Assassins took a tube of orange potion from Ayub and drank it with their heads up.

Later, the Assassins put on their hoods and took advantage of the wind and snow to gradually disappear.

…………

"Dean Drummond, where did these enemies come from?" A high-level mage brandished his staff and summoned a wall of fire, temporarily keeping dozens of hounds ten meters away.

Drumon, the dean of the School of Magic, was torn in his robe at this time, his body was covered with frost and snow, and he had long lost his usual majesty. He smiled wryly and said, "I don't know, there is no such scale of the thief gang in this world...... However, judging from the magic displayed by the other party, it should be an uninvited guest from the other world. I just don't know, what is the purpose of these people? ”

As soon as Drumon finished speaking, two bolts of lightning fell from the sky, killing the two hounds that were about to sneak up on them from the side.

Drumon looked behind him and saw Roy and a white-haired female swordsman approaching him. The lightning magic just now is the other party's masterpiece.

"Mr. Dean." Roy nodded at Drummond.

"Mr. Roy, what do you think of the current situation?" Drumon asked.

"This blizzard must be stopped. This will allow us to free the mages who are supporting the shields and go into battle. Roy said.

This evening, Roy receives an invitation from Drumon to set up an ambush in the library and wait for the thieves to fall into the trap. And Siria was immersed in the boring knowledge of magic theory every day, and she had long wanted to relax, so she went with Roy.

Roy knew that Prometheus' Flame Slab was a Piece of Eden, so that gang of thieves was most likely the Assassin Brotherhood.

However, although Loy had some friendship with Illario, an Italian Assassin, he had little to do with the Assassin Order. So if the Assassins did show up, he would also intervene to prevent them from seizing Prometheus' tablet.

Who knew that the Assassins did not wait, but coincidentally waited for the wild hunt.

And to the surprise of Roy and Siria, the scale of the wild hunt this time was unprecedented, and even the black ship Nagilfa was dispatched!

The blizzard brought by the wild hunt is not a simple natural phenomenon, but a powerful realm magic. In addition to the Wild Hunters and their wild hounds, all other creatures in the blizzard will not escape the fate of freezing.

The mages of the Academy of Magic did not know that the target of the Wild Hunt was Siriah. However, in the face of a strong enemy invasion, the mages were still under the command of Dean Drumon, and quickly assembled and began to defend the battle.

Initially unaware of the power of the frost and snow brought by the wild hunt, many low-level mages were killed as a result. Later, after the protective shield was propped up, it was a sigh of relief.

But with an overwhelming numeracy of the Wild Hunters, the situation is still dangerous.

If the situation continues to develop like this, I am afraid that the entire Academy of Magic will face a catastrophe tonight. Even if the enemy is defeated, if the loss of personnel is too heavy, the entire academy will collapse, and it will lose its leading position in the wizarding world for decades to come.

"If you can really stop the blizzard, you can really turn the tide of the war. Not only will we be able to free up more men to fight, but the defenses that have been frozen and will no longer work, will be back in effect. "But how, Mr. Roy?" It's a shame to say that we don't know anything about these mysterious enemies that are carrying a blizzard. This is a great shame for a mage who lives on knowledge. ”

Roy shook his head, raised his hand and took out his pistol, killed a Wild Hunter, and continued: "Mr. Dean, in fact, the origin of these enemies is also recorded in the library. They're called Wild Hunt! ”

Roy has taken advantage of the opportunity to investigate the theft these days, wandering around the library and discovering many books from other worlds, including those about wild hunting and hoarfrost. It's just that most of the mages in this world regard it as a myth and legend from another world, and very few people seriously read these books.

"Wild Hunt?" Hearing this unfamiliar term, Drumon looked puzzled.

At this time, a mage beside him explained, "Lord Dean. I've read books about it. Wild Hunt is a ghost that appears in winter, riding a skeletal war horse and traveling through the sky. They will kidnap human beings, and they will also bring war and death. ”
