394 Resurrection? Forbidden magic
(Thank you very much for the tips from 'Dream Demon', 'Pokémon', and 'The Wind of the End'!) )
"Oooo
All the soldiers in the square seemed to have become crazy all at once, like fanatics, raising their spears in their hands and roaring and shouting frantically.
In the midst of such cheers, Gerald's voice still echoed extremely clearly, burrowing into everyone's ears.
"Fellow citizens, do you remember who the previous owner of this tower was?"
This sentence made the cheers of everyone in the audience come to an abrupt end, and Noah was also shocked, concentrated his attention, and began to pay attention to Gerald's words.
"That's right, I believe everyone will not forget that group of demons who are brutal, inhumane, and drive us as slaves!" Gerald clenched his fists, his voice very excited.
"Those guys were originally a magical order that believed in black magic, and in order to build this tower, they captured us from all over the world, and made us work hard for them, but they didn't let us eat, they are the most unforgivable guys in the world!"
"But we should be thankful that we not only got free from those guys' hands, but we also got ownership of this tower in the midst of resistance!" Gerald waved his hand vigorously, like a fanatic fanatic stirring the hearts of the people.
Eight years have passed, and finally, we have built this Paradise Tower, which will open us to the paradise ahead, allowing us to be truly free! ”
"Let those who have taken away our freedom take a good look at what we have accomplished!" Gerald shouted.
"Fellow citizens! Let's use this tower together! Use this magic called the "R System"! The resurrection of the Great One who can lead us to the paradise of light and freedom - Jelf! ”
"Oooo
The cheers were even more amazing than before, and they had a tendency to make the air tremble. turned into a wave of sound and swung in all directions.
And Noah, who was in the crowd, had a change in complexion. There was a big shock in my heart.
Gerald's words seemed like they were fanaticizing the fanaticism of the soldiers present, but Noah also got several pieces of information from them.
One. The ruler of this tower of paradise did not seem to be Gerald, but a magical order that believed in black magic, but was overthrown by the people here, and now, Gerald rules the tower.
Second, the true face of this tower of paradise is the ultra-forbidden magic called the "R System".
Noah had read about it in a book.
It is said that the "R System" is a magic that can resurrect the dead by sacrificing the living.
In this world, magic that distorts life at will is the most taboo existence.
Therefore. The people who can study the "R system" are all lawless orders who believe in black magic, and they are true evildoers.
Because this kind of magic is so taboo that once discovered, the Senate will definitely send an army to eradicate it, so, as far as Noah knows, as early as seven years ago, all "R-systems" should have been suppressed by the Senate. It's right to disappear into the long river of history.
But now, this dangerous forbidden magic has reappeared.
Moreover, it is also the tower of paradise that has a lot to do with Elusa.
Of course, these words alone were not enough to surprise Noah. What really surprised Noah was undoubtedly the name that Gerald had just mentioned.
Jelf.
The fiercest, most evil, and most powerful in the history of the wizarding world, only the legendary Dark Wizard remains.
Take black magic to the extreme. Countless black magic and demons have been created, plunging the world into chaos. The ancestor of the Dark Wizard who has the power to destroy the world of Miè and is almost invincible. Legendary villains.
Gerald, who is actually planning to use the "R system" to resurrect the most evil dark wizard in history?
If this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will cause panic in the entire magical world, and make the Magic Council and all the magicians on the continent scared, right?
How could Elusa be involved with something so dangerous?
Thinking of this, Noah remembered what Gerald had just said.
The former rulers of this tower of paradise were a group of magical orders who believed in black magic, and they brought in people from all over the world to serve as coolies and build the "R system".
Could it be that Elusa was captured by the Magic Order and brought here as a slave to the coolies before she joined the Fairytail?
That would explain why Elusa's past is linked to the Tower of Paradise, and she knows Gerald, who has an unbearable past.
However, in that case, how did Elusa leave here and join the "fairytail"?
Noah felt that he had touched the corner of the truth.
"From now on, the Tower of Paradise is on full alert!" Once he had finished inciting, Gerald began to give orders.
"We are about to succeed, we are about to be truly free, we are about to become the inhabitants of Paradise, and we must not go out in this most critical moment, so take up the weapons in your hands, brothers, defend our ideals, and protect this tower!"
"Lord Gerald! Lord Gerald! Lord Gerald! Lord Gerald! ”
The soldiers chanted the name of the ruler of the Tower of Paradise in unison like a pilgrimage, and the frenzy in their hearts had already been aroused in Gerald's words.
I believe that now is to let the people here die, and many people will rush forward willingly, right?
It's a pity that no one noticed that there was already an outsider mixed in with them.
Noah looked at Gerald, who had disappeared into the square with four guard-like figures walking up the stone staircase, quietly retreating, hiding his figure, and disappearing into the crowd soon after.
……
"It's finally done." In the dim passage, the dark-skinned boy said with some excitement.
"Our ideals are finally coming to fruition, and true freedom is about to fall into our hands!"
"Don't rejoice too soon, Hugh." The burly man spoke in a deep voice.
"Right now, the 'R system' hasn't been successfully launched, and there are still a lot of things we need to prepare, so let's wait until it's completed."
"Well, what's wrong with this, the vitality is the strongest!" The cat-like girl said cheerfully.
"Simon, you're just too strict, you should be a little more energetic!"
"No, no, no, the only one who can be so energetic at this time is Miliana." The square-faced man was acting like acting, and his movements were exaggerated and posed.
"There should be a little more tension at this time, yes, just like when the protagonist of the movie is about to duel with the boss, what we need is not spirit, but handsome, girl."
"You don't need that kind of thing!" The boy named Hugh spoke a little anxiously at the square-faced man.
"Woolly, is Gerald's side really ready to activate the 'R system'?"
"The Tower of Paradise has now been built and can be activated at any time, all that is needed is sacrifices." It wasn't a cube-faced named Woolley who answered Hugh, but a burly Simon.
"Originally, it would take a lot of living sacrifices to resurrect a great person like Jelf, but Gerald said that he didn't want to do such a brutal thing like those magic orders, so just prepare a special sacrifice."
"A special offering?" Miliana tilted her head.
"What is it? Is it a cat? Cats can't do it! ”
"Hi, girl, you can't think of a cat, right?" Wu Li pointed his finger at the door of his head in a chic manner, lowered his head, and made a handsome appearance.
"I've heard that you need a guy who can have the magic power and body comparable to the Ten Saint Wizards as a sacrifice."
"That's right, Gerald already has a candidate." Simon's voice grew deeper.
"This person is Elusa."
When this name appeared from Simon's mouth, all four people present froze, and the atmosphere around them changed all at once.
"Elusa—" Hugh grimaced and let out a oozing laugh.
"It's such a nostalgic name, but it's a pity, and it's easy to awaken the hatred in my heart."
"What should we do?" Miliana spoke timidly.
"Are you going to find little Elu?"
No sooner had the words been uttered than a voice rang out from the front of the passage where Hugh, Simon, Woolley, and Miliana were.
"Please explain this matter to me clearly!" (To be continued......) R1292
