The black mist around was still filling, but it had lost its aggressiveness. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Fang Zhen only felt a strong feeling of weakness rush to his brain, shook a few times and fell to the ground.
"Whew!" After gasping for a few breaths, Fang Zhen propped up his body, his forehead was still in cold sweat, his lips were pale, and he looked sickly.
"Not only did it devour me a seventh-order demon core, but it also emptied the magic power of my whole body, which is worthy of the dark ritual magic that is forbidden by the Magic Guild. Fang Zhen smiled bitterly.
Reluctantly standing up, Fang Zhen's body couldn't help but shake a few times. Even if Fang Zhen thought that his physical fitness was incomparable, he couldn't help this feeling of weakness at this time.
Dragging his steps to the old man's corpse, Fang Zhen looked down at the old man's disgusting face with pain and fear. Leng Ran said: "Don't take the child at a young age, come here to play with me, play with you!"
Then Fang Zhen took out an empty animal skin scroll, held it high, and silently recited the incantation.
I saw that the old man's corpse instantly turned into black mist, and together with the surrounding black mist, it gathered like a tornado on the animal skin scroll in Fang Zhen's hand.
In an instant, the sun was shining on the meadow again. There was no blood on the grass at all, only the clothes left behind by the two uncles after their deaths and the clothes of the old man.
"The sacrifice of nightmares not only devoured the corpses of the dead and the souls of the enemies, but also almost consumed my life force, if I hadn't replaced it with a seventh-order demon core and used the Kilol style to transfer the magic power, I would have really been sucked old by you. Fang Zhen held the contract-like scroll in his hand and sighed.
"Devour a few more people, and I'll have to change you for high-quality skin paper. Hey, luckily I don't use it often. Fang Zhen happily put away the scroll and began to sweep the goods.
Yes, as an explorer, an amateur grave robber, and sometimes a part-time robber. Robbers are also forced. The robber's professional trick is to kill people and sell goods. And Fang Zhen's professional trick of banditry is to be forced to kill people and steal goods. It's a way to get rich.
"Hey, this staff is good, it's almost at the level of a magician. Wow, so many gold coins and magic cores, I'm ridiculous. Yo, what is this?" Fang Zhen rummaged through his clothes, "exploring". Suddenly, I touched a metal object.
It is a coat of arms, a cross shield, with a golden sword in the center, surrounded by a white pattern. The back is engraved with several Baimon characters.
"Holy Sword Order? This is the Holy Sword Order's constitution? Remember you, girl, if you dare to fight for Kingston, I'll make you cry naked. Fang Zhen narrowed his eyes and said viciously.
At this moment, Fang Zhen smelled a trace of unusual breath, packed up his belongings, and fled the scene.
After a while, several white figures stood in the burial place of the two sad uncles and the old man, with indifferent faces.
"Looks like underestimating that kid. "A man in a white hermit's robe, with a clear mouth, knew it was a woman as soon as he heard it.
"No, maybe it wasn't the kid who killed him. There is a dark aura in the air, it is very likely that the dark church has made a move, could it be that he is a secret figure of the dark church?" a tall figure in the leader, also wearing a hermit's robes, said in a deep voice.
"Go back to the city first and secretly search for that kid's whereabouts, he will definitely go back. Before he can return to Samikina, he must be caught. β
In the forest outside of Sayaru City
Fang Zhen hid in the canopy of a tree next to the forest transportation avenue. Waiting for the convoy to enter the city.
Although Fang Zhen is not as wise as a wise man, his calculations are not missing. But years on the run have given him more than ordinary judgment.
At this moment, the Holy Sword Sect that was chasing Fang Zhen would definitely search for him in Sayeru City, so Fang Zhen was not in a hurry to return to the city. Spend half a day recovering your stamina and magic.
It just so happened that now at dusk and sunset, it was obvious that it was time to gather and end the experience. But Fang Zhen not only couldn't complete the task, but also went out of the city. I don't know how Hai Yali will punish him if she knows. You must know that although Hai Yali is highly praised by the other party, if Hai Yali catches the handle, Hai Yali is very happy to punish this legendary black star.
"Damn Kingston, behind it is actually the Holy Sword Order, fortunately there is a record in a modern history book. Fang Zhen frowned in pain while healing the wound on his left arm with a water healing technique.
The Holy Sword Order is a subordinate legion of the Holy See of Light that was revived again a thousand years ago. Under the seat of the Holy See of Light are three extremely powerful legions, the Divine Grace, the Light, and the Holy Sword. At the same time as the revival of the Holy See of Light, there was also the Holy See of Darkness. The two withdrew from the stage of history thousands of years ago because of their defeat in a major jihad between religions on the mainland. For some unknown reason, it unexpectedly made a comeback a thousand years ago, and was recognized by many churches such as the Church of Nature and the Church of the Four Elements. and each acquired a kingdom as a religious base, which has developed to this day.
"Stomp, trample, trample......" There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Fang Zhen squinted and looked into the distance, and saw a carriage pulled by three long-eared horses driving over, and it was in the direction of entering the city.
When the carriage approached, Fang Zhen made full use of his extremely vigorous skills and jumped lightly. He grabbed the edge of the back canopy of the carriage with both hands, and then stepped lightly on the crossbar, making only a slight noise. Then climb under the carriage chassis. It is conceivable that Fang Zhen's skills have reached the point where neither Prince Persia nor Spider-Man are inferior, and he is simply superb.
But it was this slight sound that someone in the carriage had a Trane ear to hear.
"Your Excellency, if you wish to enter the city, you can go into the carriage and go with us. β
Although the sound was not loud, it was very piercing, and when I heard it in Fang Zhen's ears, I was not only shocked, but also felt a little dull pain in my eardrum.
Fang Zhen thought about it for a few breaths, then climbed to the side of the carriage and knocked on the window.
The windows opened left and right, and Fang Zhen jumped into the car.
The carriage was not wide, but it was not narrow enough to fit a few cows. The dΓ©cor is also simple and has the flavor of a natural forest.
In the carriage, there were two people sitting, one of whom Fang Zhen had seen. It was an old man, with a silver-gray beard above and below his lips, and a robe for a low-level magician. It is the old magician who performs fireworks and flower music in the magic guild.
And the other one is the Qingyin boy who sings epics.
Fang Zhen didn't care about anything else, he sat directly opposite the two of them, cocked his feet, and thought about how to explain.
But neither side spoke, and each looked at the other for a long time.
"Your Excellency is a member of the Magic Guild?" asked the old man.
"I just received my magic badge. β
"You're a student at Samikina Academy, right?"
"Well, you know that, am I too good?"
"Yes, to be able to possess the magic power of two departments, and to be able to reach the peak of the third order at the age of fifteen, only an academy like Samikina has such a genius. β
"Prizes have been awarded. Fang Zhen nodded modestly.
"Then, why did Your Excellency "meet" us?" the old man used a very appropriate word, which made Fang Zhen a little embarrassed.
However, Fang Zhen is also thick-skinned.
"I'm too tired to walk outside, so I want to take a ride, I guess you won't mind, right?" Lying is a compulsory course for Fang Zhen's major.
"Hehe, Your Excellency is really good at laughing, if you are too tired to walk and really want to take a ride, you will not jump in. A genius student from Samikina actually bent down and climbed under the carriage to hitchhike, and no one believed him!" the old man seemed to be amused.
"Uh, yes, hehe. Fang Zhen casually perfunctory.
At this time, the boy spoke.
"Your Excellency has just experienced a great battle, right?"
Fang Zhen was shocked for a while, you can see this, I have already healed my injuries, and I also changed into civilian clothes and put on a thin robe. There shouldn't be an embarrassment.
"Your Excellency, don't be puzzled, although the wounds on your body have healed, the smell of blood is still there. And seeing that Your Excellency's face is a little pale, I guess the mana just consumed a little too much. The boy continued.
"Well, I just went through a big war, and now I'm about to enter the city and get ready to go back to the academy. It's just that I'm a little worried that I will be seen by the enemy's eyes and ears when I go back to the city, so I want to hitchhike back and hide myself. Since it came to this point, Fang Zhen didn't mind opening the skylight to speak.
At this time, the young man opened the coat and hat on his robe, revealing the true face of Lushan.
The boy's face looks relatively square, with long silver hair, if it weren't for the lack of wrinkles, I really thought the boy had Progeria.
The eyebrows are also silver, and they are thicker. The brown pupils are quite focused. The skin is fair, and the girl is jealous when she sees it. The alar of the nose is a bit wide and thick, and the bridge of the nose is straight. The mouth is large, and at first glance, you know that it is a foodie.
Although this face shape is not very handsome, it is just not obviously handsome. What surprised Fang Zhen the most was not this place, but the young man's ears, which turned out to be pointy!
"Elf?" Fang Zhen couldn't help but be taken aback.
Elves are a race of highly intelligent creatures from a few epochs ago. And the innate magical talent is so good that I don't know how many times better than the human race.
Elves are naturally close to nature and have mostly arrogant personalities. But I don't know how many times more innocent than the human race. Besides, elves have a long lifespan.
"Hmm!" But if you look closely, most of the elves are very handsome, and if the male elves dress up, they will definitely be a pseudo-girl-level centaur who will bring disaster to the country and the people. It's just that this young man can't get along with handsomeness. This is exactly where Fang Zhen was puzzled.
"Hello, Mr. Solomon, my name is Jimmy Flor. Half-elf. Half of my blood is an ancient musical elf. And the one next to me is my partner Jason. The two of us are both bards of the Magic Guild. Jimmy and Jason stood up and performed a magical salute.
Fang Zhen hurriedly replied, and at the same time asked, "How does Mr. Flower know my name?" After all, the other party can be so generous, and he can't be a scoundrel in etiquette.
"With your assassin-like skills and the aura of the magic badge of the ice and fire attribute on your body, you must be the Samikina student who broke the totem steel pillar during today's test. It's all spread in the Magic Guild, can I not know?" Jimmy Flower smiled, as if intrigued by Fang Zhen's secret.
"Hey, don't talk about it, I want to keep a low profile, but who told some guy to stare at me. Fang Zhen shrugged. It's as casual as chatting with a buddy.
"If I heard that someone could cultivate the dual system of ice and fire magic to the peak of the third order, I would probably be surprised. Alright, Mr. Solomon, we're almost in town, but now it's nightfall, are you going back to the academy, or are you staying in the city for the night?" Jimmy smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself that this man looked pretty good.
Fang Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's look at the situation first, I don't think they will let me go so easily." β
Jimmy and Jason looked at each other, thoughtful.
The city of Sayaru is usually closed at night, so as not to be harassed by wild beasts. And Fang Zhen and his party just caught up with the moment when they were about to close. In the sound of the city gate guards urging, he entered the city safely.
As soon as I entered the city, I found that there were many more people in the crowd in the city, wearing the hermit robes of the Church of Light.
Sayale, like many large independent cities, did not allow the spread of religion, but did not prohibit members of the various churches from entering or leaving the city.
Fang Zhen wondered for a while in his heart, it was really difficult, there were so many eyes and ears in the city, it might be safer to go back to the Magic Guild.
"Mr. Flor, are you going back to the Magic Guild?" Fang Zhen asked.
"No, the Magic Guild is still open after dark, but non-staff are not allowed. We're going to our lodgings, is there any trouble with Mr. Solomon?" said Jimmy, looking out at the situation.
"Yes, maybe it's not a good time to go back to the academy now. Fang Zhen continued to look out the window, thinking about how to avoid these eyeliners and return to the academy gate and guest house.
"Mr. Solomon, why don't you stay at our lodgings for a while and then find a way to send you back?" asked Jason, who also saw the situation outside.
"Well, do you have a house in Sayale City? I've heard that property here is prohibitively expensive. You can't afford it without a certain amount of money. Fang Zhen had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, but thinking that the real estate in Saiyaru City was comparable to the price level in his own country before, he was a little skeptical that these two bards who made money from performing in the Magic Guild had such financial resources.
Jimmy and Jason smiled and looked at each other, smiling without saying a word.
