Chapter 17: Mana Bugs

I leaned against the edge of the bed in frustration, tears in my eyes.

Quenching, I don't understand, maybe it's to cancel the totem contract.

At the end of the ceremony, Joharo told me about the edge of the sword.

But what's the use?

Even if I have cultivated to the Holy Position, I still can't touch the behemoth of the Dark Order.

Unless, like the strongest man in the Belese Empire, the Pope, he has reached the unattainable heights of the pinnacle of the Holy Throne.

Several officers looked confused, but consciously did not ask.

Joharo sighed softly, snapped his fingers, and suddenly a white light appeared, and his figure disappeared into the room.

[Void Wizards] are all existences that come and go without a trace.

That day, I don't know how many tears I shed, my eyes were red and swollen, and I couldn't see clearly.

That day, I don't know how long I've been demented, I can't give up, I haven't eaten anything, but I don't feel hungry at all.

Grief, grief, and depression permeated the room.

The only thing to mention was Xiao Chen, who rushed into the ward in the evening to teach me a lesson.

I never expected that the Holy Throne powerhouse that my father applied for from the legion was Xiao Tian, Xiao Chen's father.

Xiao Tian was seriously injured in the battle of the monastery, his hands were unloaded, and his ribs were broken, and he was unconscious at this time.

Xiao Chen blamed my father for being harmed, so he demanded a huge amount of compensation with an aggressive attitude.

He directly angered me, and I beat me half to death, and my front teeth were shattered and stuffed into my stomach.

I used to be forbearing, Xiao Chen was easier to bully than for me, and the entire Xu family was easy to bully!

I told him my attitude with my fist!

I haven't made much progress in the rank for many years, but my body is not weak under a few years of training, Xiao Chen and I are in the late stage of the star position, but my strength is several times weaker than mine.

If I hadn't been dragged by a few officers, I would have broken his legs, trampled on his face, and used him to vent my grief.

Xiao Chen looked at me fearfully before he ran, and a wave of madness rose in his eyes.

He yelled and shouted: "Xu Dan, you wait! As long as I agree to the deal of Marshal Duobaroque, your Xu family will have no place in the capital! The national teacher will not be able to protect you!"

"Chop!"

With a hideous face, I broke away from the hands of several officers, and made a gesture to beat Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen was so frightened that he ran away.

As for Xiao Chen's cruel words, I didn't take it to heart, Marshal Duobaroque is famous for his greed, and trading with him is basically eaten to the point that there are no bones left.

Therefore, the people in the capital love to deal with the national teacher, but the national teacher is not a good person, he sees long-term interests, if it is only a few immediate interests, he will rarely take care of you.

The world, the human heart, may really be dark.

After a few days of sinking, I was taken home by the Frost Grip.

In the Xu family, only my mentor and I knew about my father's death, and I hadn't figured out how to explain it to my mother, so I could only perfunctory her.

For example, my father accepted a secret operation from the Holy See and could not return for several months.

For example, I have heard many stories of tragic heroes in the past few days at the national teacher, so I often cry.

Luckily, my mother didn't doubt it too much, but every time she talked to my father, my heart would bleed.

The teacher told me that the speech of the Holy Maiden was about to take place and that it was scheduled for tomorrow morning.

It's the only thing I'm interested in, and it's something that allows me to bury my grief for a while.

The father's funeral was postponed by the national teacher for a month, and the body was frozen in the underground mausoleum because it was illegal to hold a funeral before and after the speech of the Holy Woman, which was disrespectful to the Holy Woman and an affront to the Holy See.

I lay on the roof tile, and the light of the setting sun passed from the sky, making me feel soft and warm, and I felt a little sleepy.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

The father's angry face, the father's reprimand, and the father's slap seemed like it was just yesterday.

Every time I catch a glimpse of the [Ice Sword] hanging in the bedroom, I can't help but burst into tears.

Now I can't swing it, it has the weight of a father's love, and it weighs like a thousand pounds of boulder.

I always try to put my grief today, but tomorrow I will still wash my face with tears and guilt.

As soon as my eyes opened and closed, I had already changed from a young master to the head of the family, although few people knew.

Xu Dan...... It's time to eat......"

Hearing the sound, I was in a trance for a moment, squinting at the golden sky and the sunset.

The grip of frost soared in, and his expression was vicissitudes.

After knowing the truth, he worked a lot and grew older and older.

I was still lying down and shook my head, indicating that I didn't want to eat.

After my father died, I had no appetite and my tongue seemed to have lost its sense of taste.

The Frost Shake sighed, sat down beside me, and said tiredly, "Xu Dan, something happened to the Xiao family......

Me: "......"

He looked at the sunset in the distance: "Xiao Chen is dead, he was killed by the Paladin Earl Kane...... Xiao family, alas!"

The setting sun shone on his angular face, and I saw the vicissitudes of life, and I saw the pale face.

I was afraid that one day, my mentor would leave me like my father and walk cleanly.

"The Xiao family actually secretly developed the forbidden drug 'Magic Worm', and was discovered by the Paladin Earl Kane when trading with the marshal's subordinates, and killed two people, Xiao Chen's body is hanging on the city wall......"

I was shocked that the "Magic Bug", which was destroyed after the coup d'état more than 300 years ago, still exists in the world!

It was a chronic poison made of large amounts of dark material, and it was extremely difficult for anyone to detect before the onset of the poison.

Once the poisoner casts a spell, the amount of mana consumed will increase by 3 to 5 times, and even condense the poisoner's [magic root] into a mana crystal, permanently reducing the maximum amount of mana of the poisoner.

Harmful effects on the poisoned person for a lifetime!

According to the history books, after the Bright Sect classified the "Magic Worm" as a forbidden drug, a large number of finished medicines were gathered in the Imperial Square and destroyed along with the formula, and countless spell professionals were so excited that they burst into tears.

I didn't expect the Xiao family to dare to hide the formula of the [Magic Worm] privately, it was simply a matter of ignoring the Holy See!

"The marshal quickly cleared up the relationship, and also led the troops to seal the Xiao family, if it weren't for Xiao Tian, the head of the Xiao family, who had made great contributions, it is estimated that he would be beheaded by the whole family......"

I listened quietly, without saying a word.

After Xiao Tian became seriously ill, his son messed around, although it was expected, but it was too naïve, and he really went to trade in the Baroque.

"After the paladin Earl Kane killed the two, he left directly without taking the [magic bug], and the [magic bug] fell into the hands of the national teacher who was secretly observing, but the national teacher told me that the [magic bug] was finally asked by the marshal, and the marshal's attitude was very tough, and it seemed that he had the support of the pope...... From this incident, it seems that there may be a storm coming from the capital......"

I opened my eyes and thought about the suspicion.

What role does Earl Paladin Kane play in this matter?

Paladin, passerby, Avenger, killer?

Forget it, it's none of your business, hang high.

I coughed lightly and brought the instructor back to his senses.

"Mentor, can you tell me the totem of the Xu family?"
