Chapter Ninety-Six: The Passing of the Fire
Morey walked quickly to a watchtower next to the main position, he changed into a magic robe, held an electric horn in his hand, and his face was slightly red, looking a little excited. Ji Xun ran briskly in front of him with a rifle in hand, scanning his surroundings vigilantly.
Upstairs, Morey took out a small spar from his bosom and placed it on the fence of the watchtower, and with a light touch of his finger, the spar glowed softly white, and the watchtower suddenly turned into a torch in the darkness.
Everyone on the main position under the tower suddenly let out a sound of surprise, and the bright light clearly reflected the figures of Morey and Ji Xun. The horse thieves in the distance also stirred, and Morey saw several horse thieves with shields quickly protect the wild mage who was casting spells.
"Lest you be distracted, let me come, I still learned a few words of swearing. Ji Xun persuaded.
Morey took a deep breath and said with a smile, "You're not an 'indigenous', so how can I scold well." ”
With a flick of his finger in the air, he whispered a short incantation, a amplification magic that enhanced the sound and transmitted it far away.
"Horse thieves, who gave you the courage to come here and die?!" said Morey, holding an electric horn, the combination of technology and magic was really extraordinary, and the sound of his mouth was like rolling thunder, which not only the people near were deafening, but also the horse thieves in the distance could hear it clearly, and many horses were startled and stirred in place. The horse thieves near the school had a great deal of effort to quiet the mounts beneath them.
"What is it that holds you back? Are you standing guard for us when you stand outside this castle? A group of savages from the mountains, ignorant and fearless, have come to challenge the magicians who have mastered the power of heaven and earth. What are you relying on? Oh, is it the wild mage who scribbles in the air? Do you naively think that a poor creature who has no knowledge and no inheritance can help you open the gates of the castle? Look at him, what a confused look, what a clumsy skill, this guy is almost exhausted by his own scroll......"
Morey said hurtful words in his mouth, but what came to his mind were stories from the past, like this, he didn't know how many he had heard in the past days, just because he was born poor, just because of his outstanding talent, he became a thorn in the side of those classmates from the alchemy family. He felt like he was just repeating what those people had said to him......
"Alchemy is a noble art, not something that can be manipulated by lowly hands. ”
"Wisdom comes from blood, and if you get this kind of result with a bloodline, that's cheating!"
"If magic had a spirit, it would definitely cry, and it would definitely not bear to be manipulated by this civilian. ”
The memory flashed, Morey froze, raised his hands, and loudly pronounced the sentence: "Wild mage, turn to ashes under my power." ”
——————————————————————
Zhang Hong looked at the shiny watchtower from afar, and heard Morey's words clearly, every sentence here is exquisitely worded, elegantly written, giving people a sense of superiority, but like a serpent's letter, expressing all kinds of the most vicious meanings. The horse thieves soon became furious! He heard them shouting:
"Who does this son of a bitch have?"
"I'm going to split his head and feed it to the dogs!"
"Rush up and set fire to him!"
Cadiz was furious at the sight of the agitated crowd, and his guards whipped the guys with a whip, which quieted the scene.
"Who is this man, and what does he want to do?" Cadiz asked him angrily, as he grabbed Zhang Hong.
He ...... His name is Morey. I, I don't really know what he's going to do. Maybe...... I just want to kill your morale. Zhang Hong stammered in reply.
Cadiz pushed Zhang Hong away and walked over to the wild mage who was struggling to cast a spell, "Andrew, don't pay attention to this madman. Still the same as before, knock down the wall and high ground on the left, and let our horse team rush into it in a puff. These scolding may just be a trap, a trap to waste your power. ”
Andrew turned his head slightly to look at him, his eyes full of anger and murderous insight. He shook his head slowly, "He's insulting me, you self-righteous nerd! I can smell the stale smell of the magic tower coming out of him from here." I'm going to smash him to charcoal. ”
"Listen!" Cadiz shouted as he drew his sword and pointed it at Andrew, "Orville has gone hunting down the magician, and soon you will see him pierced by an arrow." Do what you have to do!"
"Hmph, look at his hands!" replied Andrew, "it's too late." ”
Cadiz looked intently and saw that the man on the watchtower waved his hands, and there was also a glowing blue magic pattern forming in the void, and his speed was much faster than Andrew's.
"I don't know this magic, but in terms of complexity, it's not inferior to the one in my hands. Andrew whispered, "Can your men survive such a blow without messing up?"
"What do you want?" asked Cadiz with a calm face.
"Preemptive!" After saying these words, Andrew actually spat out a mouthful of blood, it was too difficult for a wild mage like him to concentrate on two things in the full force of the spell.

"What kind of spell is this, didn't you say that you only have some simple little magic?" asked Ji Xun.
"It's just a bluffing trick. Morey dispelled the sound transmission magic and said to Ji Xun, "I have wanted to be a great magician since I was a child, but my mental power is limited after concentrating, so I can only embark on the path of alchemy. This little spell that condenses light is just to satisfy my yearning for advanced magic. I used to ...... I've used it to scare the people who bullied me, and now it's not bad to fool the wild mage. He's been provoked by my humiliation, and with the terrifying magic he's poised to strike, there's no reason why he shouldn't attack us. ”
"I hope it does. Ji Xun looked into the distance worriedly, this battle had just begun, and it was so dangerous, I really didn't know what the battle would be like later, he suddenly asked: "When you were a child, you used this method to scare people, did you succeed later?"
It was done, but it was exposed afterwards and beaten severely. Morey smiled, but his hand didn't stop, the blue light pattern became bigger and bigger, and it became more and more complicated, "You go downstairs, let everyone prepare to hide, the other party's magic is almost finished." ”
Ji Xun beckoned the people below to hide behind the fortifications, but he did not go down to the watchtower, but guarded Morey's side. Seeing this, Morey urged a few times in a hurry, but Ji Xun said to Morey: "I also have confidence in your defensive formation, so let me watch a magic show here." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic pattern on the opposite side suddenly lit up, and then several fireballs with a diameter comparable to the height of a person appeared in the position of the original magic pattern, and the wild mage pushed his hands in the air, and the fireball flew faster, and in an instant it was faster than the galloping horse on the ground, like a meteor, straight towards Morey and the two.
"It's a good time!" Morey casually dispersed the false magic patterns in the air, picked up a pendant hanging around his neck, closed his eyes and stood up, and suddenly took the watchtower as the center, and the ground in a radius of thirty meters around him lit up one after another, and these magic patterns formed a nested circle, which was the defensive circle that Morey had arranged in advance. And the main control stone in his hand, under his manipulation, will maximize the power of this defensive circle.
Whether it was Ji Xun or the rest of the school, they all looked at the fireball that pierced the sky in amazement. It was the first time they had come into such close contact with a truly powerful magic, a supernatural power that had previously existed in film, television, and imagination, but now it was so real that it was so real.
The fireball exploded in midair, blocked by an invisible barrier, like a red flower blooming in the night sky, and most of the sky was illuminated red. However, such a huge force, because of the defense circle, could not affect the small people standing under the sparks, and only the sound wave of the explosion shook people.
The defensive patterns on the ground gradually faded in the vibration, and then dispersed, but just as they were about to disappear, the sparks in the air also withered. The night sky turned blue-black again, and only a stream of hot wind swept past everyone, reminding them that they had just survived a spell that could destroy an entire building.
The hot wind drifted away, and cheers and applause rang out from the position, and some even cheered loudly.
"Hey, it's really done!" Ji Xun hugged Morey, who was a little out of strength, and opened his arms excitedly and said, "Morey, you have made a great contribution." ”
Morey nodded, smiled and let Ji Xun hug him, but heard a sharp whistling, and then Ji Xun let out a short low cry, and a black arrow had already pierced Ji Xun's back shoulder, penetrating his entire shoulder.
"How is that possible!" exclaimed Morey, the watchtower was actually some distance from the wall, and there was a circle of deflected arrows he had laid out, and ordinary arrows could not reach this position. Unless it's an extremely rare Demon Breaker?
He knew that if it weren't for Ji Xun who was anxious to hug him, the target of this arrow would be his throat, and the defensive items on his body would not have any effect on this kind of mage killer.
Another whistling sounded, and Morey was knocked to the ground by Ji Xun before he could react. Then a stream of heat spurted into his face, and he was horrified to see a second arrow pierce through the back of Ji Hoon's neck, piercing through the top of his Adam's apple, and instantly bursting through a large piece of flesh and blood around his neck.
"Season!"
Ji Xun couldn't respond to Morey's shout, and the tall figure stood like this for a moment, and then fell down with a bang. Morey saw him with his head on the ground, his face facing him, his eyes glazed and his muscles twitching. He seemed to say something to Morey, but his broken throat prevented him from making any sound, and all Morey could see was his repeated lip movements. I don't know how long it took, but when Morey woke up from a dream and was about to cover Ji Xun's wounds, the brightness of his eyes had completely dimmed.
"Enemy attack!" Morey roared, followed by panicked gunfire from below the watchtower.
Morey clutched Ji Xun's throat and sat paralyzed in the tower, unable to raise the courage to poke his head out and look around for a while, he was just trying to recall Ji Xun's mouth shape, and after a while, he muttered: "Xiaojun, what he has been saying in the end is ...... Jun. ”
