Chapter 3: The Flame of the Rites

Destination Pomer City...... The brochure explains that it is a tourist city famous for its temples and the capital of a republic.

On the train, Cedar flips through the pages of the magic manual that can be annotated by tapping, telling Zhaohua the information.

"There are five continents in the White World, which are Central, West, South, North, and East, and we are ...... in the southeast of Middle-earth."

The magician they were looking for was named Paris Shiloh. Miss Shiloh is actually only seventeen years old, but the handbook says that she is one of the generals of the Combined Forces of the Middle-earth Empire, and she is good at wind magic.

When it comes to magic, the magic of the white world is divided into ten major systems: fire, wind, water, earth, wood, light, sound, illusion, darkness, and thunder and lightning, and magicians can generally only be proficient in one of them. In addition, small spells such as "sleep" and simple healing spells are universal.

The explanation in the manual does not seem to favor the Dark Sect, and it also emphasizes that the Guild does not cooperate with Dark Magicians...... It seems that "dark" is very unpopular, probably there are more bad people in this department......

As for the use of magic, magicians seem to rely on the basic form of magic called "soul fire". Soul fire is the power that exists in the body of all living beings with souls, the concrete form of the soul. And this blue-blue, icy "flame", the cedar they have seen in the "Silent Sealing Realm".

Here, what the magician has to do is to gather his energy, so that the soul fires that exist and are scattered in every corner of the world gather and exert their power in the form of ten systems. In order to better channel the power of soul fire, magicians spent a long time summing up various "power languages" that help gather energy, that is, magic spells. In general, mispronouncing certain words in a spell can weaken the magic.

He noticed that low-level spells could be activated using a spell called "Acoustic Catalyst" that triggered the flow of magic with sound. The "acoustic catalyst" is a creative invention that is widely used in daily life, and through this spell, magical devices such as magical devices such as swords that can breathe fire were born.

Magic battles are probably a duel between spells and magic weapons. At this point, Cedar felt that he had a general understanding of Bai Shi's condition.

"It's here. Zhaohua had been listening to him in a pensive posture, and then he glanced out and said.

Because of the presence of demonic beasts in the area along the railway, the train they were on stopped several times. It was now the next morning, and they had finally arrived at their destination.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Exclaimed Cedar as she stepped out of the train station.

It was a new, pearl-colored morning, and the dawn peeked through the thin clouds, bathing the Pomelian lowlands in a reddish glow.

Cedar they are halfway up the hill that surrounds the city of Pomer. The city they were looking at was lying comfortably in the morning light.

A tapestry of grass carpets cascades down the slopes, connecting the city's thousands of ornate temples that are pale pink in the twilight.

The city of Pomer, surrounded by mountains, is in a standard circle. In the center of the city is a high hill, and there is a fairytale castle-like palace, which is now the administrative headquarters of the republic. Overlooking down, the city's eight main roads radiate outward with the imperial city as the center, and the momentum is extraordinary.

"Excuse me," a voice interrupted the exclamation of the two, "you are an urgent client from the Santa Fe Magical Society, right?"

They were questioned by a sturdy teenager who was slightly taller than them, with messy, wild dark brown-red hair like a lion's mane. The boy looked at them with a serious expression, waiting for them to answer.

Although he was just being watched, Cedar still felt that he was being stared at fiercely, so he hurriedly nodded: "That's right, my name is Zhou Xuesong......

"What are you afraid of, I'm not blaming my uncle......" The young man smiled heartily and patted Cedar's shoulder hard.

"Are you ......" Cedar came back to her senses, immediately opened the manual, and found the information of the young man in front of her next to Miss Paris's profile, "Han Feng, who is good at earth-based spells, right?"

"Ah, yes. My name is Han Feng, and I'm Sister Paris's companion!" Han Feng nodded proudly, "Because Big Sister is going to have a meeting, we'll pick you up." Zhou Xuesong and Zhang Zhaohua, right? This is Qin Yueming, this is Jiang Xuehe, and this is He Qihui. ”

The black-haired boy who was introduced first showed a calm and gentle smile: "When we meet for the first time, I am Qin Yueming. ”

"Hello, my name is Jiang Xuehe. The cute girl with a neat single ponytail smiled shyly and gently introduced herself.

"I am how wise, and the meaning of my name is 'how wise'!" said the little girl, who looked no more than eleven years old, with joy and vitality on her face, and her eyes that were surprisingly large.

"Hello......" Cedar greeted them as he checked the manual, the three young magicians were skilled in fire, water, and light spells.

"Come, let's go into the city, the meeting should be almost over, Sister Paris is waiting for you!" Han Feng patted Cedar on the shoulder warmly and rudely, and said.

"First time in Pomer?" Seeing that the two of them kept sighing along the way, Han Feng asked.

"That's amazing......" Cedar just kept repeating the phrase.

The streets of Pomer are lined with sculptures of gods, and in the center of the road is a wide holy waterway. The multi-layered fountain on the waterway seems to be throwing the blessings of the gods, constantly spraying the pearl-like water in all directions, sprinkling the white birds in the air and the delicate flowers beside the road......

"It's beautiful, but the thought of the gods being dead makes it all a little bleak...... The temple city can only rely on tourism to sustain its prosperity. Yueming said with emotion.

"Huh?" Cedar was puzzled, "Perdition?"

This made Yueming and them quite confused.

"Yes, the first demon subjugation war thousands of years ago ended with the destruction of the Divine Realm......" Xiaohui looked at them curiously, "Where are you from?"

"In fact...... I said we crossed over, do you believe it?" replied Cedar honestly.

“...... Is it the same as our ancestors, Primordial China?" it didn't seem so difficult to accept their statement, Han Feng scratched his head.

"Eh, it's a compatriot?" Cedar shook his hand in surprise.

"What an adventure...... But this is not a good thing, and generally the boundary is crossed because the law of the world is out of balance...... Sure enough, it has something to do with the activity of the demon clan, right?" Han Feng's expression was slightly worried, and he turned to ask Xue Song, "Speaking of which, the association said that you are guests of the Demon King Capital?"

"Uh...... Yes......" Cedar came back to her senses and nodded.

"In that case, then we must protect you wholeheartedly until the Demon King sends an envoy to pick you up!" Xiao Hui solemnly promised, "Although the combined army is also a mess now, it will definitely form an alliance with the Demon King at that time, and you are also a distinguished guest." ”

“...... Hmm," Cedar nodded vaguely, "Thanks." ”

"You don't seem to know anything about the white world...... It's hard to tell, but you have to be careful of the 'Kuang Zhengtuan' and the 'Avengers'. Yueming didn't say much, "You'll understand slowly." ”

"Are they very powerful?" Zhaohua asked him.

"Let's just say that, Kuang Zhengtuan is a monster, needless to say, 'Avengers', they have a Warcraft legion, and it seems that they are also involved with the demons, to be honest, the general army can't compete with them. Yueming frowned as she spoke.

"However, the Combine Army and the Wizards Association are closely linked, and their strength in magic is also quite strong," seeing the worries of the two, Xue He added, "For the Combine Army, the threat is mainly the high-level of the 'Avengers', the 'Former Devil Ten Strong' and the 'Rear Devil Ten Strong', that is, the 'Former Ghost' and 'Rear Ghost' twenty magicians, so it's not so scary to think about, right?"

"That's fine......" Cedar relieved.

"Ah, eldest sister!" Xiaohui suddenly beckoned happily, "Here you are!"

Cedar and Zhaohua looked up, and the woman who Xiaohui greeted was walking towards them with a solemn demeanor.

"Eldest sister, this is the client Zhou Xuesong and Zhang Zhaohua. Han Feng introduced.

"Hello, I'm Paris Shiloh. Paris smiled solemnly and said clearly.

"I'm sorry to cause you trouble!" said Cedar, a hurried salute.

"It's us who should apologize, we are here on a guard duty, we really can't take good care of you, I apologize first," Paris was not polite, and briefly stated the current situation, "I'm really sorry, but I can only let you follow us on patrol." ”

“...... It's okay, bother. Feeling inconvenienced to the other party, Cedar nodded repeatedly.

Paris Shiloh is a beautiful woman with brown hair and blue eyes, with a tall figure and elegant posture, but her demeanor and movements reveal a decisive and resolute attitude, which makes people feel trust and respect. But because of her seriousness, the atmosphere quickly became tense, and Cedar could only quietly follow her and look around.

"Today is the Pomerian Festival, all utensils can be discounted!" Han Feng tried to liven up the atmosphere, "There will be a festival today, we magicians can parade and perform simple magic, the scene will be spectacular!"

"Today's newly replaced light shield that envelops the whole city will also turn pale gold, and it will look beautiful at night!" said Snow Crane expectantly.

"It's a disappointment, but we can't relax," Paris said with a grim expression, "This is one of the few remaining prayer festivals in Middle-earth, and the demons may cause destruction." ”

"It's not that the Protoss has ......," Cedar wondered.

"Although the Protoss no longer exists, people can still use the remaining power of the gods. Paris replied briefly, "And there have been a lot of riots here lately, and that's why we've been sent." ”

"Eldest sister, don't be too nervous, there is still a strong divine power here, ordinary monsters don't dare to harass!" Xiao Hui said optimistically, "Speaking of which, by the way, I will explain the magic of the white world to Cedar, right?"

She pointed to the dazzling array of magical goods: "I'm afraid you think it's complicated, but in short, magic is divided into elven magic, white magic, and black magic. Fire, water, wind, earth, wood, sound, and lightning magic are elven magic, which will manifest the power of soul fire as physical power and use it to attack. But since it's a physical force, the opponent can also use physical defense to defend against it, so it's a bit difficult to deal with the demons with strong mental power, while the light magic that belongs to white magic and the dark and illusion systems that belong to black magic mainly attack the opponent's spirit, so it is more effective against the demons - but we don't advocate black magic. ”

"Be careful," seeing that Cedar wanted to take a serious look at the magic product, Han Feng specially reminded, "You don't just remove the magic isolation envelope of the artifact, once you open the envelope and read the name of the artifact, the 'acoustic catalyst' on the artifact will be activated, then your body will adapt to the spell, and the magic system to be learned will be decided, and you will have to work hard for a long time before it is possible to cultivate another faction." ”

Cedar nodded obediently and watched as the mysteriously shone mysteriously in the bright autumn sun as countless magic swords, magic necklaces, and other magical artifacts with transparent envelopes.

- Dusk, Pomel Palace

The sky covered with thin clouds revealed a warm reddish light, and the entire temple city was soaked in thin red, showing a solemnity.

The flocks of pigeons made strange, heavy sounds, and disappeared into the darkness of the city in the crescendo of twilight.

Like the clouds of twilight, the dome of water falls from the sky above the city. The red light grew thicker and thicker, shining like fire on countless temples.

Cedar and her companions gazed silently at the burning red Pomer, which was unsettling, scorching heat in silence.

It was impossible to predict the enemy's movements, but the feeling of being waiting in the air silenced everyone.

The heaviness of the Red City slowly dimmed, and countless shadows appeared, smearing the temple into a hollow and colorless color, turning the temple gate into a stunned mouth.

"Really, we're too nervous!" Han Feng seemed to be unable to stand it, and said to ease the atmosphere, "We're not bad! Besides, the whole city is on guard, and they can't destroy it if they come!"

"Yes, yes!" Xiaohui also smiled at Cedar.

But then there was silence. The red precipitated, as thick as touchable blood, drenched Pomel in sorrow, and made everyone's face look like a tree in the dimness.

"By the way, Cedar and Zhaohua," Paris suddenly spoke, "I have reported your affairs to Mr. He Yanfang of the 'Heavenly Punisher', he is also a Chinese in the original world, and he will take care of you." ”

"Mr. He Yanfang?" asked Cedar in surprise.

"Idol!" Xiaohui shouted excitedly, "Cedar, Zhaohua, Mr. He, he is-"

There was no time for Cedar and the others to understand the information—a bright light suddenly enveloped everything, and a huge wave of air scattered in all directions with an astonishing loud noise, clouds of smoke, and red-hot debris!

The white magic barrier blocked the overwhelming rubble, and everyone watched in horror as a part of Pomer's Palace cracked and collapsed with billowing smoke, burying the Shinto, temples, and residential areas below the high ground in a loud bang!

“...... Freeze the shells of all evil creatures and freeze the storm!" A wave of scorching air that could burn the trachea hit, and the snow crane subconsciously chanted a spell, and the ice produced by the freezing instantly melted into steam!

“...... Bastard!" Han Feng's eyes widened in shock, his face was furious and blue!

"There's a bomb?" Zhaohua asked blankly.

"No, it's earth magic!" Han Feng replied in annoyance, and a series of fires suddenly erupted in the city with Pomer Palace as the center!

"It's endless! Who the hell is this?" Han Feng erupted in annoyance.

Surrounded by a ring of firelight and a series of dramatic shocks, the Pomel Heights continued to fall apart, sinking in the billowing smoke!

"Wind Enchantment!" Paris immediately created an air shield, using this huge round shield to envelop all the people, causing them to float and descend smoothly into the city.

"Light Enchantment!" Xiao Hui hurriedly unfolded the huge white barrier, and the boulders and mud that fell like meteorites slowly slipped down in the holy light.

The explosion had subsided, and now the tide was flooding them with the panicked shouts and weeping!

"Damn...... What?" Before Han Feng could curse, he was startled by a wave of scorching air, and the golden barrier was suddenly surrounded by firelight!

"'Flame Owl'?" When Han Feng let out a cry of surprise, Paris had already activated the "Wind Blade" without hesitation, compressing the wind knife and violently crossing the barrier, and the mournful cry of the strange bird immediately came!

But at the same time, as if mocking, the neighing of strange birds came from different directions!

"Is it another collective attack by demonic beasts!Xiaohui, 'screen explosion'!" Han Feng cried out in annoyance.

"Understood!" Xiaohui nodded vigorously, and gestured to Yueming again, "Ready! Prepare ......"

She suddenly loosened her grip on the magic, and the barrier flickered, not disappearing, but instead of disappearing, it became solid due to the unstable energy, and suddenly burst outward!

"Kill the flame!" Yueming unleashed a spell at this moment, and the crimson flames burst out from every fragment, and the red tide turned the surrounding flame bird "Flame Eagle" into charcoal with one blow!

The wind that rose from the ground turned the magic fire into a red tornado, and Paris said calmly with an enraged sneer, "It's just an ordinary 'Flame Owl', and using a high-level 'Finch to Kill the Flame' is a big fuss...... However, it shouldn't be wrong that the opponent is a 'beast master'......"

"Beast Rider?" Cedar asked, "a magician who manipulates beasts?"

"That's right, but if you can manipulate a demonic beast, you're not an ordinary 'beast master'. Yueming, who responded while running towards the distant firelight, had a stern expression, "There can't be a wild demonic beast here, so-this is an artificial demonic beast created by summoning low-level demons and making low-level demons clinging to the animal's body!"

"This can explain the frequent large-scale demonic beast attacks that have occurred recently!" Xiao Hui was also annoyed, "The powerful beast control envoy can disrupt the order of the entire Middle-earth like this, and we are completely passive!"

At this time, all the soldiers and magicians in Pomer have reacted, and the red shadow of the strange bird in the night sky is engaged with the blue light of the "Ice Arrow" and the golden beam of the "Spear of Light"!

"That guy...... Where will it be?" Han Feng asked impatiently.

Strange cries suddenly tore through the air from behind the shadow of the temple, and the firelight enveloped in like a curtain!

"Demon Wind!" Paris struck the flaming owl into the holy water channel in the middle of the road!

In the churning of water vapor, the big bird flew up, and the fire ignited again!

"Freezing Storm!" Before it could react, the Snow Crane's spell turned it into ice, and the Wind Knife then shattered it into dust!

"God, again!" Han Feng let out a whining of disgust as the red flames of the large flock of firebirds appeared over the temple.

Rain-down sparks spilled down on the birds, forcing the snow cranes to resist the water barrier. And the trees and houses on both sides of the street have crackled and burst into flames!

The writhing flames are like twisted, grotesque villains, riding the dry wind in a row to dance a frenzied dance of destruction!

The screaming flame owl swooped down, sliced into countless white shards by the Wind Blade. However, the magic flame it left behind was like countless tentacles, jumping and spreading wildly in all directions on the dry wind of the autumn night!

Paris's blue eyes were full of dancing red flames. She frowned grimly: "Although it is low-level, it will still be difficult if there are too many monsters...... Snow Crane, the guards have already used the 'Water Dome' to extinguish the fire, right?"

"Well, it didn't work. Is it because the fire of magic power can't be extinguished with ordinary water, right?......" Xue He nodded nervously and took a deep breath, "The soul of the deep cold water circulating in the Five Realms, you think-"

Her chant was interrupted by a huge fireball flying from the alley, and she and the others screamed almost simultaneously and jumped towards the rubble high ground, the fireball exploding on the holy waterway and rolling up like a tsunami of boiling water with a large amount of water vapor!

"Freeze the shells of all evil creatures, freeze the storm!" Snow Crane hurriedly chanted to match Paris's Wind Gathering incantation.

Out of the alleyway is a large monster shaped like a lizard skeleton!

"That's a lot...... Paris sneered, turned her head to look at Yueming and them, "Yueming, Han Feng, and Xiaohui, you take Cedar and Zhaohua to join the guards first, and we will block the monsters here!"

"Doesn't it matter?" As soon as Han Feng asked, he watched Paris directly scrape away the incoming fireball, so he nodded, "...... Got it!"

Along the arcing streets of Pomer, Cedar they hurried to the west of the city in the same confusion.

"You can't take a path...... Otherwise, the temple altar will block the way at any time!" Xiaohui reminded breathlessly.

The strange cry of the flame owl suddenly cut straight from the side, and three crimson figures swept out of the alley of the people's room, and the arrow of fire poured down!

"Wind and sandstorm!" Han Feng hurriedly resisted the attack, and the sand and stones rose up when they heard the sound, gathering and circulating above everyone's heads, blocking and dissolving the arrow of flames!

"Fire monsters of the same line as me, my advantage is not obvious!Han Feng, you can use it as the center of gravity for counterattack!" Yue Ming said calmly.

"OK! Swept away, sandstorm!" Han Feng dragged the cedar and rushed out!

Yueming, Zhaohua, and Xiaohui also rushed out of the sand barrier afterwards. Han Feng seized the opportunity to suddenly return his hand: "Unleash the power of rage under my order, rock blocks!"

Forced by the loud explosions, smoke clouds, and qi waves, Han Feng strode forward, and Han Feng looked back with satisfaction to watch his results.

As soon as he completed a graceful and smooth leap with Cedar, he tiptoed to the ground, and then followed by the momentum of Cedar's exclamation "Wow", turned around like a top, threw Cedar aside, and rolled himself to the ground, the flaming body of the new Flame Owl passed by him, and the sound of sparks and strange screams burst out with his roar: "Rise up in anger, Pillar of Rocky Soil!"

The flaming owl spun around and fluttered like rain, but the sand and gravel pillar rose from the epicenter of the drama and immediately blasted it away!

"The next one! Swept away, wind and sandstorm!" Although Han Feng was reckless, he was obviously a good hand at fighting, and his sandstorm directly blasted the two flaming owls that pounced on him!

"Be careful, you didn't wipe them out!" Seeing the Flame Owl that had just been blasted away by the Pillar of Rock Soil swept straight down from behind Han Feng, Xiao Hui hurriedly cooperated, "Spear of Light!"

In the panicked cry of the cedar, the beam of light formed an enveloping momentum and scattered towards the firebird! The slightly burned firebird changed its track slightly, and was immediately hit into the temple by Han Feng's rock cannonball, and the roar of the explosion shook everyone's ears.

"You can't defeat the Demon Beast Swarm by continuing to use high-consumption spells, Han Feng!" Yue Ming reminded Han Feng with a troubled expression, and at the same time blasted a flame owl with a flame ball, and then smiled bitterly, "But my attack consumes more energy...... But in any case, we can't let these guys drain our energy in vain!"

"Yes, no matter what, our real opponent should be the beast master, not the summoning beast!" Xiao Hui quickly agreed, she was a nimble child, "and if we want to keep fighting-"

Cedar and Zhaohua felt the meaning in his eyes.

"Join the fight," Zhaohua nodded in response, "us." ”

"Everybody is a fighter. Yueming nodded, guarding the front of the two, "Remember, man, if you go in from this alley......"

Though uneasy, Cedar nodded - they had walked here today, and he knew: "Magic Bazaar!"

"Stone nail clip!" Han Feng roared, and the stone street puzzle dismantled the general bulge section and snapped into each other!

Cedar and Zhaohua immediately rushed into the alley.

At the end of the alley is-

Dimmly lit, in chaos and panic, a magic bazaar under the command of soldiers and magicians!

Han Feng and the others also ran over, and the red-hot fire had swallowed up the alleys and houses!

"There are so many!" Cedar heard the soldiers cursing.

Sure enough, the combat power is still not enough, and now even a novice like him and Zhaohua is useful!

At this critical juncture, Zhaohua is far more decisive and neat than Cedar, and he has always known what he wants to do-

In front of the store, he only hesitated for a moment, then quickly grabbed a light magic iron fan, neatly opened the magic isolation envelope, glanced at the manual, and shook the fan vigorously: "Wind Blade!"

With the instantaneous spell "Acoustic Catalyst", the compressed wind knife generated from the fan surface immediately smoothly slices through a flaming owl that just appears above the private house!

"Hey, that's not bad!" Han Feng's eyes widened in surprise in the rain of sparks that the firebird had turned into, "A novice, kill the Flame Owl with one blow!"

Even under the fierce counterattack of the Spear of Light, the Flame Ball, the Arrow of Ice and the Arrow of the Wind, there are still hordes of Flame Owls screaming!

Cedar knew it was time for her to act!

I, Zhou Xuesong, am not a coward!" he thought, his eyes eagerly searching the store.

(Flame Owl...... Water magic should be more advantageous!But in the future, you'll encounter monsters from other systems......, right? Oh no matter!Let's get lucky!)

He casually picked up a magic dagger that looked quite delicate, unwrapped the magic isolation envelope, and pulled out the manual.

"Say the name of the spell—" He struggled to make out the small words on the instructions in the flickering dim light, "Snake...... What?"

Is it a spell to control the snake...... He hesitated for a moment, and then the scorching wind brought him a sense of crisis, so he opened his mouth: "'Serpent's ...... Serpent - 'Vine'?"

It was only then that Cedar remembered how bad his luck had been - he shouldn't have relied on his own bad luck!

Wood spells that are more suitable for defense and that he thinks are useless!

But it was too late—even for a moment, but Cedar felt it, and the strength of his whole body was being drained...... That's right, it's "Soul Fire", and Soul Fire is releasing energy in the form of wood-based spells!

The dagger shone with a soft glow of jade green, and then—

The masonry beneath his feet burst open, and several green vines as soft as snakes leaped out, nearly knocking him down!

"Hey, Wood, it just so happens that we are short of Wood-type warriors, Cedar, you are really considerate, this is quite worthy of your name......" Han Feng didn't notice his disappointment and anger, but said happily and kindly for him.

“...... Damn!Why is it—this damn useless wood! this nasty 'snake vine'!" Coming back from the shock, Cedar stomped his foot and shouted.

"Cedar, this is not ......" Xiaohui tried to comfort him in embarrassment, "Actually, the wood is ......"

"I didn't listen to you, Wood's attack power is super low, right?" Cedar shouted at her in disappointment.

"Hey, Cedar!" Slightly understanding Cedar's feelings, Han Feng frowned, and his tone was stern, "Don't make noise, you picked it yourself, who are you blaming it!"

"What are you doing, we're still fighting!Cedar, can we talk about your affairs later?" Yueming stopped in a stern tone by hitting the Firebird with a flame ball.

"What?" the surrounding soldiers suddenly shouted in surprise, "Warcraft...... Disappearing?"

Yes, all of a sudden, a gust of wind swept across the city, causing the huge magical defense barrier to flash with eerie purple lines!

The lines flashed violently in the blue fluctuations generated by the impact of the demonic wind, and at this time, all the firebirds rushed into each other indiscriminately, and the creepy screams came one after another, and then the lines flashed, broke and disappeared, and the monsters slowly turned into ashes in the scream!

"Big sister and Snow Crane...... Defeated the Beast Rider, right?" Han Feng asked in surprise.

Han Feng's guess was half right.

The one who contributed to the attack was one of Pomer's patriarchs, an old man who was supposed to be very upright.

Because he was in a bad mood and had no one to comfort him, Cedar just sat in his belly and listened to what happened.

"My lord, please speak up. You don't have a deep understanding of magic, so you're not the main culprit. Who is that beast master, and why did you set up a summoning array for that person?" Paris asked sternly, "You've been blackmailed, haven't you?"

The old man hugged his head and let out a silent sob.

"I'm so cowardly and incompetent, I've betrayed everyone......" he said tremblingly, "...... Maia...... In the hands of that demon, I ......"

Maya, probably his daughter or something...... I see, I've been used.

"Failed...... Miss Shiloh, thank you for saving people...... But—" the old man looked at Paris with a complicated smile, "my failure means ...... Maya She ...... No longer in the world......"

A hint of sadness appeared on Paris's grim face.

"I'm not good at caring about others, so ...... Please forgive my clumsy words. I'm really sorry I couldn't protect everyone...... But," she looked at the old man with blue eyes, "who the hell is that guy?"

The old man smiled bitterly: "It's the 'evil ghost'......"

Cedar sensed everyone's horror, and he and Zhaohua looked at each other in confusion.

"'Evil Spirit'?" even Han Feng gasped, "It's actually 'Evil Spirit', God, it's 'Rear Ghost'! Even this kind of monster has come out? Is it to warn us that we want to hand over the cedar them?"

"No, we will not give in for the sake of justice!" Xiaohui jumped up excitedly.

"Rest assured, we can't just be blackmailed. But it sounds like they were planning long before Cedar and the others came to the White World, right?

The evil magic legion "Avengers" is active, and Cedar only understands this.

"My lord, did the 'Demon' meet you directly, did you know what kind of person it was and what kind of spells it could do?" asked Paris, suppressed her shock and tried to be as calm as she could.

"No...... That guy is ......."

Will this chaotic night end in such a question, but it is not his turn as a novice...... Cedar thought to himself that he should go to sleep, the damn "snake vine" had drained him so much strength, and he was almost exhausted.

Picking the wrong faction is really a misguided future...... Everyone didn't have time to pay attention to him! Bad trip, terrible! Damn the Demon King of the First World, didn't he say that he had subordinates? Why did he send himself and Zhaohua! Even if they were sent, where were the so-called subordinates who "would do their best to save their lives"?

Dialogue and deliberation are endless...... When the sky was light, tired and full of anger, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and walked out quietly.

Nervous about the gravity of the situation, everyone didn't even notice his departure. He wandered aimlessly through the ruined city and finally fell asleep depressed in a hidden temple.

In his sleep, he saw that he was surrounded by a large number of demonic beasts, which would use various spells, but he would only damn the "snake vine"! He roared and asked the green vines, "Can't you be stronger", and the vines bloomed......

Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck!

"Demon King, what the hell will happen to me!" he roared even in his dreams, "Shouldn't I call for wind and rain? Shouldn't I be a great hero? I've had enough!"

"Eh, it's really fast, it's only been a long time......" The boy's voice really sounded!

"Demon King...... My lord?" Cedar was weak-hearted.

"Don't worry, aren't the interesting guys ready to play...... "Everything will unfold in front of you, you will be happy to meet those guys, they will be interesting, each one will be very distinctive, murderous and bloodthirsty......"

"I don't want to know them!" Cedar protested, "Please, let me go home!"

"Fight for me, Zhou Xuesong - it's also for yourself. As my subordinate, you can be weak, but - don't ask for mercy, I won't allow it. The Demon King continued as if he hadn't heard him at all—

"Whatever you want, you have to fight for it with your own strength, this is your qualification to survive. Well, let's face it, defeat those guys in this survival game and use your powers to survive......"

Preview: "Hey, Zhinu, I'm Qingji." I've found that fellow......

"Ah, that's a big deal, don't laugh, that little ghost is a 'colorless general'......!

"The rebellion in the Holy King's Capital frightened them...... However, for the poor 'General', the biggest blow to him must have been to pick the wrong magic department, right? He doesn't seem to want to study magic, it's funny! It seems that he must see the world to mature himself......"

Not far away was the strange chariot, the white-clothed monster boy sat cross-legged next to Cedar, he put down the communication talisman glowing with peach-colored shimmer, and slightly bent the corners of his eyes: "Zhou Xuesong......? It's not easy. Let's observe you for a while...... But do you know how weak you really are?

Next chapter, Black Fellow Travelers.
