The only difference between Asa and the dead now is that he has an extra breath. He had been in a coma in bed for several days. Xiao Yi has been staying in front of the bed, and she has been taking care of him for the past few days.

Some of the thieves had asked where the couple had gone, and the orc boss had asked them to stay and discuss something important. They used their imagination to guess, thinking that they must be still dealing with the city lord alone, and sighed that they were indeed knowledgeable people, and then they all left with the goods.

Asa had moved from the roofless house to another room. This matter did not go public, after all, it was necessary for the city lord to uphold the dignity of the law, and any reason for theft should be sent to the huge gallows in the square. The Lord of Sedlos only said that this man was a friend of his own, who had been injured in his magic experiments.

Healing spells can finally work physically. There is no system of magic that Cedros will not use, although he can't delve into many big spells because he has studied too much, but as long as he can use it, there is no one that he can't master, and his healing spells are in no way inferior to any high-level priest.

But no matter how high the level of treatment is, all that can be treated is 'injury'.

The bones and muscles of his hands and chest were so shattered that even the most skilled craftsman could not have separated the pieces smaller than a grain of rice from the congealed muscular veins and put them back together, and many of the broken ribs had already hurt their internal organs, and the entire skull had cracked, almost bursting.

Even Cedros found it hard to believe that a person's body could survive such an injury.

This is indeed a misunderstanding with serious consequences, and it is also a very coincidental misunderstanding.

If Xiao Yi also came with the thieves to carry the stolen goods at that time, then he would definitely see the city lord of Cedlos, if Asa was not so stubborn to solve this matter in his own way, if he could discuss this matter with Xiao Yi, if his fighting spirit was not so strong, he could explain a little when he was caught or simply surrender..... As long as one of these things happens, it won't be like this.

The City Lord of Cedlos came to see Asa's situation again today, still shaking his head with a gloomy face. Through the conversation with Xiao Yi, he knew that this was indeed a misunderstanding. Although it still can't explain why this young man was dressed in the robe of the Ghost King and why he came to steal the book, it is true that the person who can be willing to save people with a leaf of the World Tree that all magicians dream of is not a member of the Necromantic Guild. Moreover, the appointment document of the Bishop was not forged.

Cedros could also see what kind of relationship the two were, which also made him very concerned, and he tentatively asked Xiaoyi: "What if he can't wake up?

"I've been here since he woke up. Not going anywhere. Xiao Yi replied very plainly.

Cedlos was silent. Xiao Yi's tone is not the kind of sonorous and resolute passion, if that's the case, it's okay, passion is always short-lived, and after a period of impulsiveness, it will naturally calm down. But such a prosaic resoluteness shows that she has accepted the reality.

If it were someone else, the city lord would still have some admiration for such a relationship between men and women, but she was the daughter of the duke, and she had many other things on her back.

In a meaningful tone, Cedros said, "Do you know that it's actually very unfair to you? If you really can't wake up for the rest of your life, are you going to spend all your good life on him? You are still very young and have a lot of bright future. ”

Xiao Yi shook her head. "I used to be in a coma like this, and he saved me. Now I can't save him, at least I have to stay with him. ”

"But he doesn't know anything about what you're doing now. You're just deceiving yourself. ”

Xiao Yi just said lightly: "This is my own decision." ”

"Then have you considered your father?" you should know how much hope your father has in you, and you just give up everything else for the sake of your wishful feelings?"

Xiao Yi didn't speak, but slowly fed a spoonful of honey water into Asa's mouth. There was no expression on her face.

Cedros looked at her and sighed, turned and walked out.

He suddenly felt like a very nasty person.

But hate is hate, and the words have to be said that way, because things have to be done that way. If she really wants to stay, the biggest headache is probably not the Duke, but herself.

Suddenly, an official came running from the direction of the city hall and said to him, "Lord of the city, the thieves who set out a few days ago have returned, and there are only a few left, and they say that there is a huge fire-breathing monster in the wasteland that is heading here. ”

"Monster?" Cedlos' eyebrows furrowed.

At the entrance of the city hall, Cedros removed an arm from his horse's tail.

This is evidence of a thief who was in a hurry to get on his horse. The thieves were awakened by a strange noise on the ground during the night, and by the moonlight they saw a behemoth approaching them, and in terror they mounted their horses and began to flee. The thieves, who were a little hesitant and slower, were all caught up in the flames of the monster's eruption, and only a few escaped by chance.

Cedros took a closer look at the arm. The arm is very intact, and the section is very neat, as if it was cut down by a knife and axe. However, the section of the bone on it was black, and when I pinched it with my hand, it immediately fell down like dry bread. No natural flame can inflict such damage on the human body, and it can burn the whole person to ashes, but leave the arm that was just exposed to the flames intact.

Such corrosive flames are supposed to be the effect of dark magic. And what can actually spit out magic flames? Although he probably knew that it was the Necromantic Guild that was playing ghosts, he couldn't tell what method was used.

Cedros has been traveling and exploring the continent since he was a teenager, seeing the strangest things, even meeting legendary dragons in the underworld, and socializing with necromancers in the Valley of Deya. And he also likes to read books, he has been to almost every famous library on the mainland, and he can never forget all kinds of books, so he can be regarded as the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable person on the continent. If there's something he doesn't know, it just means that it never existed.

"When did you meet that monster?" said Cedros to the remaining thieves.

"Three nights ago. The old thief replied. He was the quickest of them all, and ran to the horses almost as soon as he heard the noise, while some of them took up their arms and went out to look. It seems that the longer people live, the more they want to continue living.

Judging from the thieves' words, the monster doesn't seem to be fast, but it should not be far from here.

Together with Gru, Cedros rode to the swamp northeast of Orfu, where the lizard swamp extended into the wasteland, and was used as a separate living area for the lizardmen. Here, the two of them rode a bipedal wyvern and set off.

It's not just bipedal wyverns, it's also home to wild bulls and scavenging lizards. Lizardfolk are not usually involved in the rest of Orfu's affairs, and their mission is to experiment with the domestication of these animals in this swamp.

There has never been a record of such a thing domesticated on the continent in history, and no one has even dared to think of it. These are the most dangerous animals that live in the most dangerous areas.

The wild bull is a species of bison endemic to the lizard swamp. At first glance, it looks like a cow, but it is two meters high, four or five meters long, and weighs thousands of catties, and its appearance is not covered with fur, but a thick layer of large scales and armor, and even a tomahawk can hardly cause effective damage to it. Although it is a herbivore, its temper is more ferocious and violent than that of any carnivore, and combined with its immense strength and size, it is definitely one of the most dangerous beasts on the continent. And because they often eat poisonous weeds in swamps, these animals have accumulated countless fermented poisonous weeds in their stomachs, which can be spit out of their mouths at any time. The gas is similar to the damage to human skin caused by an alchemist called 'sulphuric acid'.

And only a bipedal wyvern can incorporate the wild cow into their own recipes. These gigantic flying animals have unimaginable strength and speed, enough to grab a bull into the air and throw it down. This is repeated until the bull is thrown to death, and then it is eaten.

Although it is an extremely dangerous animal, it is also extremely useful in nature. Just imagine a bull charging into battle, and no general would want to send his soldiers to face such a monster. The bipedal wyvern has a huge role in whether it is used as a manned surprise attack or to transport materials, and it is even more difficult to capture the generals in thousands of troops.

As long as it has these great and dangerous combat capabilities, no army will dare to act rashly here.

Only the lord of Cedlos would have the courage and whimsy to domesticate these things, he clearly knew all the habits of these strange creatures from books, and then deduced the methods of domesticating these beasts from the history of mankind domesticating other animals. He is the only one who can get the lizardfolk to take the eggs and pups of these animals from the swamp, and then domesticate them in the strange environment of the swamp. Only a few have been successfully domesticated over the years, but only a few of them have been very useful.

With the incredible power of the Wyvern, even with Cedros and Gru, plus a lizardmen, it was completely easy to fly, and it flew faster than a horse could match. So it only took half a day for Cedros to see the monster from the air that the thieves had spoken of.

"What's that? a big bat, like there's someone on it?" said Sandru with a frown. The three of them were in the woods in the distance, and Cedros couldn't see them.

"That's a domesticated wyvern. I can't think of anyone who can use this as a flying tool, what an interesting little trick. Vidnina also looked a little surprised, but it didn't affect her smug mood. "It seems that the leader of the orc city-state has received the news and has come to see our great masterpiece with his own eyes. I wonder how he felt when he saw this masterpiece that would turn his city-state to ashes. ”

With just one glance, Cedros was sure that this was a monster that would be enough to reduce the entire city of Ofu to ashes. He could feel the fluctuations of magic that surrounded him unimaginable.

"Fly down and take a closer look. Cedros said to the lizardman driver. The lizardman pulled the reins, and the bipedal wyvern swooped down towards the corpse dragon with a shout.

Passing close to the corpse dragon, Cedros could see the myriad corpses that made up the monster's body, and he could feel the magical energy contained in these corpses. Such a monster was indeed created by the Necromantic Guild, but such a huge and perfect magical creature was completely beyond his imagination. Not only was it powerful, but it was a perfect blend of several completely different types of mana. His vast knowledge and deep understanding of magic made him completely able to distinguish between them, so he was even more impressed.

Those corpses were not ordinary corpses, nor zombies, but living corpses. Only a sorcerer with the pinnacle of limb magic and dark magic can create corpse transformations. That is to completely burn all the remaining life force in the human body in a very short period of time, and the corpse of an ordinary person can have an amazing combat power comparable to that of a high-level warrior in a short period of time. And there are hundreds of such corpses here, which were originally enough for the combat power of an army, but now they are only used as the body of this monster.

He could also see the shape of this monster, which was supposed to be the shape of the great spell 'Dark Dragon' in the legend of the dark system. It was originally just a condensed image of mana, which would automatically dissipate after the spell was released, but now it merged with the hundreds of living corpses. It wasn't just the appearance, it was indeed a surge of dark magic flowing among the countless corpses.

And what shocked him the most was the monster itself. In a sense, it's a living creature. The rotting corpses were the hands and feet of the corpses that protruded from the appearance of the corpse dragon, but the parts that formed the corpse dragon next to each other still maintained their original appearance, and even the skin of the corpses still retained the luster of living flesh. Living corpses only last for a short period of time, but it's clearly not a monster that has just been created. This is a method of fusing the highly activated corpse into a medium while the life force in the living corpse is extremely burning, and merging it with the magic of the 'Dark Dragon' as a whole, temporarily forming a cycle of mana, and then giving life to the whole corpse to maintain its power. The monster's astonishing mana and life force fused together to form an endless cycle that allowed it to spit out that devastating flame almost as indefinitely as a living being's breath.

Every magic is so high, and the balance between the various magic powers is just right, and the balance brings out the best in each nature of magic. He was amazed, it was simply an incomparable piece of magical art.

But he suddenly woke up again, and shouted to the lizardman, "It's too close, fly quickly." ”

The head of the corpse dragon had already turned. After being bombarded by hundreds of magicians a few days ago, it has become very sensitive to the breath of humans. It stretched out its neck and inhaled, and even the lizardman rider, who was completely incapable of magic, could feel the frenzied condensation of mana causing strange fluctuations in the air.

With a chant, Cedros waved his hands forward, and a white ball of light flew towards the corpse dragon's head. This is the most powerful spell in air magic, 'Thunder Bomb'.

The corpse dragon's head and neck swayed slightly after a loud bang, and the powerful explosion left a small crater in its head. But the damage apparently had no effect on it, and it began to open its mouth, and the green flames were about to erupt immediately.

Gru bent over, jumped, and threw a punch with a roar that pierced through the clouds. The force of his feet slammed out caused the massive body of the wyvern to sink down. The white light that enveloped his body made him look like a silent bolt of lightning that rushed straight at the head of the corpse dragon with earth-shattering power.

The tip of the lightning struck the head of the corpse dragon. The fist erupted with dazzling light and a loud bang the moment it made contact with the corpse, it was only a blow, but it was completely better than the brilliant roar of hundreds of magics. The corpse dragon's head and neck were thrown out to the side under the force of this blow, and even its huge body was driven to the side by the force of the impact. If it weren't for the head, and if it wasn't for the neck as a cushion, this punch would have knocked out this mountain-like monster.

It was as if the sky was suddenly raining down on pieces of corpses. The corpse dragon's head was almost completely shattered, leaving only half of its mouth hanging around its neck.

In the distance, the three magicians who had seen all of this with their own eyes were completely shocked by the earth-shattering power of this blow.

They were all magicians at the pinnacle, and they could all see that it wasn't magic.

It doesn't require skill and wisdom, and there is no advanced art of spell casting that has undergone transformation, resonance, synchronization, etc., it is completely the most direct and hearty naked display of vitality.

Anyone who sees this kind of majesty, this kind of scene, this kind of spirit, will only think of one word. Strength.

All three of them had also been obsessed with the desire to make themselves stronger, so they were able to become top magicians. But now when they see this true power, they are completely struck by the fact that a writer and painter who has refined his skills and art to express beauty is shocked when he sees the beautiful scenery of nature.

But the spectacle paused for only a moment, and green flames still rushed out from the half-skewed dragon's mouth. It wasn't really a creature, and the destruction of a small part of its form didn't impede the flow of mana.

The corpse dragon's head and neck immediately swung back again, and the crazy green fire spilled towards Gru, who was still in midair.

Gru's posture was still the same as if he was throwing that punch. This punch was already his full strength, his body had not yet recovered from the explosive force, and his body was completely out of thin air, and there was no place for strength at all. Facing the surging green waves, his lonely body was as small as a leaf in mid-air, as if he would be immediately submerged in this sea of death, without even a ripple.

But his body suddenly moved backwards out of thin air, as if a giant hand was pulling at him, and he just managed to dodge the waves of green fire. This is the effect of Cedros' wind spell.

The wings of the two-legged wyvern fluttered and rose sharply, but the wind also brought a few green flames to the wings that flapped down the wyvern. Even if it was only a few small green flames, it was enough to make the two-legged wyvern struggle in pain, which was just as fatal.

With one hand, Cedros continued to control the wind spell and pulled Gru towards it, and with the other hand, he swung out a few white cold rays to intercept the green fire. The green fire and the cold light collided, and with a soft sound, they vanished into smoke.

Gru stood on the back of the Wyvern again. The bipedal wyvern soared into the air, flying beyond the range of the corpse dragon's flames.

The corpse dragon seemed to be enraged by this attack, and its movements became swift, and it actually shook its body towards the sky and jumped, but it didn't jump high, and it was immediately pulled back to the ground by its own weight and made a huge landing sound.

High in the air, you can see that the corpse dragon's body has begun to change. The corpses that formed the bodies began to wriggle, and then gradually the broken heads were replenished by corpses wriggling from elsewhere.

"Good fellows. Gru's eyes lit up. That full blow just now didn't knock this monster down, which made him excited. "Fly down and let me try again. ”

Cedros hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's too dangerous, the flame of that magic is irresistible." We'll have to find another way. ”

The corpse dragon groaned at the sky, feeling powerless. So he took a slow step again and continued in the northwest direction.

Cedros's brows furrowed and he said slowly: "There should be a core, in order to maintain the operation cycle of such a large amount of magic power, there must be a strong core, judging from the fluctuation of magic, it should be a little lower on the right side of the chest, about three or four meters inside the body." But the key is how to destroy it...... And what is it? what is it that can make such a huge amount of magic condense in the form of life and circulate endlessly......" Cedros frowned and muttered to himself, suddenly realized. "I see. He said to the lizardman driver, "Okay, let's go back now." ”

The wyvern circled in the air and turned back in the direction it came from, before turning into dots and disappearing into the horizon.

Sandru was the first to breathe a long sigh of relief, and his mind was still in the shock of the blow, and he asked, "Who is that? Is it really a man?"

Ronis was also shocked by the blow, but he first turned his head to look at his equally shocked student and said in a mocking tone, "If things really go as you expected, then what are you surprised about?" ”

"No matter what. I all believe that my work is invincible. I believe that it will definitely wipe out all the garbage. Vidnina's hoarse voice spoke forcefully, as if to show that even the sight of such a powerful blow did not shake his confidence in the slightest.

Faith, though it is power, is purely personal, inner strength. If you still need to announce it loudly, it will be suspected of emboldening yourself.

Ronis certainly could hear the suspicion. He nodded and smiled and said, "I was right that I didn't go back, it seems that things are getting more and more interesting." "The man who was able to use the magic of two systems at the same time and controlled it so well reminded him of an old friend from the past

"It's fun, it's fun. Sandru shook his head in agreement.

Ofu City, at night.

Xiao Yi had just finished feeding Asa honey water. Her hand caressed Asa's face, her soft palm undulating along the well-defined outline. Her heart was upset now, and what Cedros had said to her today had disrupted her already determined determination.

Is it really just self-deception? I am just here to escape from reality, to escape my responsibilities to my father? But to leave him here and go back by myself? This is absolutely impossible. She felt the pain of her feelings being torn apart.

The City Lord of Sedlos walked into the room, sighed at her actions, and then said slowly, "If I can cure this young man, but you have to promise me to accomplish something that you should have done in the first place, will you agree?"

"I promise. Xiao Yi stood up, and the expression on her face was that she heard the oracle of God's salvation.

Cedros stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Yi's head, nodded and said, "I know you have always been a good boy and have always been obedient. ”
