Awakening (Part I)
"You've been ...... from the beginning," Master Aiden's face turned completely blue outside the mask.
"Each other, each other, everyone has been thinking about each other's lives since the beginning. It's just that your eyes are not deceitful, and your methods are not hot enough. "The golden skull-masked necromancer has a stiff lark in his hand, which he has just taken out of his robes. He looked at Master Aiden and said, "It's you, I can't imagine that the throne of the tower master for so many years has not worn out your feelings, it is rare...... What's even more rare is that as a necromancer, I actually use scrolls to assist attacks, and I have to admit that I am inferior to you......"
The lark froze and didn't move, it seemed to be a specimen, but Aiden knew that if the other party wanted to, it could become the same lethal weapon in an instant. Aiden knew that this was the same as the sparrow that had scattered his thunderbolt in the first place, and the bird that had attacked the three of them from behind, but he really couldn't imagine how the other party could have prepared so many of these strange weapons, and he had to admit that this was indeed the thing that could exert the power of the living corpse magic the most.
It is true that from the very beginning, or even earlier, the other party made up his mind about this sneak attack. The three birds had already flown to the far corner outside the sight of the three of them before they noticed him, and the praying mantis that he thought was catching cicadas, but who knew that it was the yellow finch that had to be in great danger. The opportunity I thought was a good opportunity to make a move was also the opportunity that the other party had been waiting for for a long time.
"How about it? Do you want to keep trying?" the Golden Skull Mask was in no hurry to make a move, and it was he who had the upper hand now.
Although the necromancer who had lost an entire arm could barely stand, the cold sweat on his head already showed that he was almost incapable of fighting power. Both of them are not good at white magic, and now the severed arm can only temporarily seal the wound with water magic.
Master Aiden snorted: "It's just that I really didn't expect that with your identity and combat power, you would actually think about a sneak attack at the beginning." ”
"Nonsense. It's a pity that I've never been a personable person. Have you forgotten?" the golden skull mask spat out. "Actually, I don't want to kill them all, I didn't like this fat man twenty years ago, and he dared to rob me of a woman...... I can't imagine that I'll have to wait twenty years before I almost forget about it, and it's a bit weird to think about. Without this copper-smelling guy, the air in the Deya Valley would have always been much fresher. As for you, I don't really want to kill you, but if you make a move, you will definitely go all out, and it is your own luck and strength that you don't die, now you get out. ”
But wait for Aiden and the others to pick up Nopolinot's relics. As soon as he pulled out the teleportation scroll, the golden skull mask suddenly shouted, "Wait. ”
Aiden's movements froze. Look at the golden skull mask.
"I forgot to ask you this question, how did you think of coming to kill the two people below?" asked the Golden Skull Mask as he watched the two of them say word by word. "Although I believe that no one can command you, I am more convinced that it is not your own will, give me an answer. ”
"I'm sorry. This is an internal matter of the guild. Even if I were willing to answer, you know I can't. Aiden replied lightly.
A pair of eyes under the golden skull mask burst into a cold light, but then dimmed again. "yes, I'm not from the guild anymore. By the rules, you can't leak news from the guild to me. So...... I ask, you just have to answer yes or no...... Are you here for something to do with the new cardinal boy named Javidi?"
Aiden was silent for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
"Good. This kid, I told him not to mess around. The golden skull mask snorted.
"By the way, I have a message. Aiden said as if he remembered something. "I can't say too much, but I can tell you that this kid has a close relationship with the current acting guildmaster. Maybe he meant it here......"
"Acting guildmaster? I know Shante is not interested...... Is it me who came after Egrenel and I left?" the golden skull mask looked surprised, thinking thoughtfully. Suddenly he sat up and closed his eyes.
This action stunned Aiden and the others, but then the golden skull mask opened its eyes again, and the light in it skyrocketed. He raised his hand and waved it out of thin air, and said coldly, "Come all of them to me." ”
With his gesture, four black shadows appeared in the four directions below and flew towards here, and in the blink of an eye, they came to his ground and landed on the eagle's back. These were two crows and two owls, staring blankly at them. Some of them lurk in the trees, others in the crevices of the rocks in the ground, and they fly out at the gesture of the necromancer.
Seeing these four little things, the biggest change in his face was Master Aiden. He snorted with some annoyance: "This guy actually dares to spy on us." ”
"The fifty-third acting guildmaster of the Diya Valley, don't you ask if you see your seniors?" the golden skull mask grabbed a crow and placed it in front of him, looking into the bird's eyes. "I can't believe you, as the acting guildmaster, would be willing to waste your mana to practice the puppet Hawkeye ......," he said, turning to Aiden. "This guy must be very scheming, it looks like you've been tricked. ”
Master Aiden's face became a little strange, but he didn't speak.
"Although I'm no longer a member of the Necromantic Guild. But I still don't allow anyone to mess around in the Diya Valley. I warn you, if you make a miasma inside, that fat man will be your example. The golden skull mask finished speaking, and with a gentle wave of his hand forward, the four dumbfounded birds instantly began to erod, decompose, and evaporate into a puff of black smoke that dissipated into the air, leaving not even a trace behind.
In a room in the valley of Diya far away. The four crystal balls on the table went out at the same time.
It's just that there is no one in this room now, and it just so happens that the expression made by the golden skull mask in the crystal ball is made for nothing, and the owner of this place has actually left in a hurry when he first saw him.
Seeing Aiden and the two fleeing in embarrassment in a gargoyle, the eyes under the golden skull mask were not the slightest joy, but full of melancholy. He looked at the Emperor and Roland on the ground, and instead of paying attention to them, he took out a teleportation scroll and unfolded it.
The blue teleportation glow lit up as the scroll unfolded, and the necromancer in it seemed a little distracted, and he didn't notice that something was strangely wrong with the situation around him.
Teleportation rays are generally stable and transparent, but the glow that surrounds the necromancer is now somewhat opaque. And it's still flickering slightly. The flickering became more frequent and intense as the teleportation light grew brighter and brighter.
Eventually, some of the trance-stricken necromancers let out something unusual around them. He was stunned at first when he noticed the change in the light, and then the expression of the old god, which had always seemed to be leisurely, instantly turned into astonishment and horror.
"That bastard......" he yelled, and suddenly jerked to the side with a reflection and explosiveness that was extremely inappropriate for his age. He was going to use his movements to eliminate the teleportation magic that was already about to be activated around him.
But it was too late. His previous distraction, as well as the activation of this teleportation magic, were also much faster than ordinary ones, and as soon as his body moved, this dazzling blue light exploded.
This moment. The blue teleportation light seemed to become a small sun in midair.
This is not the supposed effect of teleportation magic. The eagle owl carrying the necromancer also shattered in the exploding blue light, becoming a corpse in the air. Not only it, but after the blue light, the living corpse puppet that was still a long distance away from the blue light suddenly fell weakly towards the ground, and began to slowly disintegrate in the air, turning into a blood cloud and rotting rain falling down the sky.
"Impossible...... How could Mr. Sandru ...... What's going on?" On the ground, Captain Roland's face was full of astonishment and disbelief.
At this time, in the Academy of Magic, a burst of blue light flashed in the room where the teleportation magic array was rotated. With a soft bang, the Star Eye in the center of the teleportation magic array shattered.
"Goodbye. Dear Sandru seniors. I will leave your name forever on the walls of the Hall of the Valle de Deya. The Marquis stared coldly at the teleportation magic array on the ground. The blue light between the magic gems still flickered and danced intermittently.
This teleportation magic array is now unrecognizable, and both the order of the magic gems and the number of gems on it are completely different from the previous ones. To be precise, this is not even a teleportation magic array, but a magic array that kills the people who were originally going to teleport here.
Although this magic array is not necessarily extinct, it is also unprecedented, although this self-created magic array is exquisite and creative, but the key point is that it can only be played once, and it destroys the eye of the star, which is the most precious thing that is the core of the teleportation magic array. So other magicians don't conceive and design in this direction anyway.
But the Marquis felt that it was worth it, at least not in vain since he had spent a month studying this magic array. Although the eye of the star is precious, it is nothing compared to this person's life. There are only a dozen Star Eye Continents. And once it is used as the core of the teleportation magic array, it has been carved and positioned, and it can no longer be used for other purposes, but there may only be one way to kill this person, and there is only one chance.
When using the teleportation scroll positioned in this magic array, relying on the power of the star's eye shattering and the entire changed magic array, you can forcefully transform the magic fluctuations of the teleportation scroll into devastating power. This is by far the only destructive magic that harnesses the power of the space system. Absolutely indefensible. No matter how strong and powerful this person is, the damage caused by the space distortion cannot be resisted.
Now that this magic array had played his role, the marquis bent down and rearranged the magic array, and after a while, this teleportation magic array returned to its previous appearance. Of course, this was only on the surface, and the shattered Star Eye could no longer do anything, and now it was just closed together, seemingly intact, and left there as an ornament.
After doing all this, the Marquis walked to the door and gently patted the shoulders of the two magicians, coughing lightly, and the two high-ranking magicians and a few guards next to them suddenly woke up from their trance.
"Lord Marquis, have you come back to the royal capital? The two high-ranking magicians turned to look at the Marquis, smiled and nodded. Anyone like the Marquis of Inham Elney would easily have a crush on him. Moreover, he was a good friend of Bishop Ronice during his lifetime.
"Yes, I haven't been back for a long time, so I'll take a look at it. The Marquis smiled and nodded. "By the way, is there anything going on with the king during this time?"
The magician nodded and replied, "Of course, you probably don't know it yet...... "Neither these two high-level magicians nor the guards next to them glanced in the direction of the teleportation magic array. In their memories, the Marquis came over to greet them very cordially as soon as he came out of the teleportation magic array, and nothing unusual happened.
"Oh, is that new cardinal?" the Marquis nodded slightly after listening to the magician's account, and then asked, "You just said that the Bishop and Lord Rodhart captured an important prisoner together, so do you know where he is being held now?"
"It's in the dungeon over there. The magician pointed in the right direction. "But no one is allowed to go in except the Bishop and Rodhart. What do you ask these for?"
"Just ask. By the way, where is the Bishop now? I want to meet him. ”
"Oh, that's a little weird. I heard from others that the Bishop went to the cathedral with Archpriest Reth in a sudden hurry, and he also sealed the cathedral so that no one else could enter, and I don't know what they were doing inside......"
After hearing this, the Marquis's expression, which had always maintained a charming smile, instantly stiffened, and he didn't even have time to say a word to the two magicians, he turned around and sped out at an astonishing speed.
