Chapter 764: Witch Hunt
Su Ye frowned and asked, "Why don't you leave those nobles behind." ”
"Do you know who the magician is?"
Su Ye shook his head.
"Larens." Cromwell's eyes were full of smiles.
"Provost of Plato's Academy?" "Andrew" maintained a moderate amount of surprise, but with a clear hint of joy.
Cromwell smirked and said, "It seems that you also want to kill the people of Plato's Academy, and your hatred for the people of that Academy is well known. Yes, that's him. This time, the temple asked him to come by name, and he couldn't help but come. ”
"The Templar is ready to do something to Plato's Academy?"
"I heard the temple mean, it's a little like that. It is said that the slumber of the goddess of revenge was caused by a magician, so the temple wanted to strike at Plato's academy. ”
"A full-scale blow?" Su Ye asked.
Cromwell hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "The temple didn't say it explicitly, but some details show that the temple wants to completely eradicate Plato's Academy. ”
"I'm a little conflicted." Andre sighed.
"Yes, as a magician, my heart is full of contradictions. On the one hand, I was grateful for the contribution that Plato's Academy brought to Greece, and on the other hand, I didn't want to see too many magicians appear among the commoners. You're at home these days, and you don't know what's going on. Do you know how many magic apprentices are added each year in Greece? Cromwell asked.
"I've heard that in all of Greece, there are only about 3,000 new magic apprentices every year, including nobles and temple magicians." Su Ye Dao.
"So, do you know how many magic apprentices Greece has added in the past six months?"
"Five thousand?" Su Ye pretended not to know.
Cromwell said in a deep voice: "Seventy thousand! ”
"So much?" "Andrea" stared at him in disbelief.
"This news must not be spread! Once this news spreads, the forces opposing the temple and the nobility will inevitably stir up. ”
"But...... Impossible. If this continues, doesn't it mean that the number of magicians in the next year will increase more than forty times as before? Absolutely impossible, you must be kidding. ”
"The actual number can only be more, not less! Because the Elixir of Enlightenment was sold all over the world, the number of magicians in Persia, Northern Europe, and Egypt also suddenly skyrocketed! The magic academy of Greece is bound to hide the number of people. ”
"This news, it's terrible. If this continues, in less than ten years, the whole of Greece will be the world of those lowly civilian magicians! ”
"Andrew" looked panicked.
"You can also see that too many magicians are a devastating blow to the nobles and the temple! Once the magicians were able to stand up to the nobility, Greece would fall apart. So, we're going to go on a massive witch hunt, or 'slay demons', and kill all non-civilian magicians. But if Plato in Greece does not die, we cannot act. We are waiting for the temple to kill Plato. As soon as Plato dies, we will unite the Temples and proclaim a ban across Greece! It is forbidden for anyone to study magic, except for the nobility. ”
Cromwell smiled faintly.
"What about the rest of the world? If the other three countries cultivated a lot of the power of magicians, wouldn't it be dangerous for us in Greece? Su Ye asked.
Cromwell's face sank and said, "With the presence of gods, we are not afraid of the other three countries at all." No matter how many magicians they have, they are vulnerable to the gods. What's more, both Persia and Egypt would limit the number of magicians. ”
"But in Northern Europe, except for Ruidian, magicians are allowed to develop freely. Norse gods, they do not stop. Su Ye said.
"It doesn't matter, Nordic is about to face twilight, and no matter how much magic they have, it won't be enough for the Wolf of Doom to swallow in one bite." Cromwell.
After being silent for a long time, Su Ye asked, "If, I mean if, if the magicians of the other three kingdoms increase in strength and finally defeat our Greece by an overwhelming margin, and we are forced to shrink our territory, what will we do?" ”
Cromwell sneered: "Even if Greece is given to the king of Persia, to the king of Egypt, and to the group of pirate kings of Northern Europe, it is also for the descendants of the gods, and it is also for the nobles!" It's better than having a pariahs stand on the hill of the god of war and dictate to our nobles! ”
Su Ye suddenly realized and said: "Rather with friends, not as a house slave." ”
"That's right! That's it! Good, good! No wonder we're all optimistic about you. Even if you are a god-given legend, your future growth is limited, so what? If you can become a god-given legend, you can become a god-given hero, or even a demigod! The premise is that you dedicate yourself to the gods and kill all the untouchables! ”
Cromwell stared into Su Ye's eyes.
"I see! I agree with this hunt! However, we need to be prepared, you know, my strength is all in magic. ”
"Andrea" reluctantly raised his two hands.
Two rows of twenty rings were worn on it.
Cromwell smiled: "That team of magicians, the most powerful is Larens, there is no legend, it is not certain whether they can survive your twenty rings." Moreover, there is also a legendary warrior and a legendary priest in our ranks, both armed with heroic weapons, and it is easy to kill them. The reason why I'm looking for you is not really for you to help, but to help you! ”
"Thank you, Master Cromwell, I see."
Su Ye was full of emotion, whether it was Baines or Cromwell, he was too good to himself.
This is the result of accumulating virtue and doing good, and it seems that we must continue to accumulate virtue and do good.
"You say, that old fox of Larence won't have a way to escape, will you?" Su Ye asked.
Cromwell smiled, "You know too little about the Plains of Hell. It is very special, shrouded in the power and will of many planes, even the gods, can not be seen directly, only with the help of priests and gods, can see a limited range. As for the magician, there is a way to teleport away, not to mention that we will imprison the space, even if we don't have the confined space, with the strength of Larens, we can't escape. ”
"Why?"
"In the Plains of Hell, only divine beings can teleport over long distances without restrictions, and ordinary people, even heroic magicians, can only use short-distance teleportation. Of course, veteran legends always have strange means. Cromwell said.
"That is, at least a demigod is required to teleport?" Su Ye asked.
"Yes. Or armed with a powerful artifact, and at least a lower-level artifact. You say, Larens they might have? So, this is just an outing for you. ”
"I see. So, let's get ready! ”
"Andrew" was in high spirits.
"Good!"
Three days later, a team of magicians, quietly left the Hell's Fortress.
Another day passed, and the second scout team disappeared into the teleportation array.
In the endless darkness, Su Ye held his breath.
After an instant, the body seemed to be knocked away by a huge force.
The darkness dissipated, the body was suspended in the air, looking down, one meter above the ground, and with a movement of his heart, the invisible power of the legendary sanctuary opened, allowing the body to fall to the ground slowly.
At the same time, Su Ye cautiously raised Andrew's legendary magic wand and looked around.
Above the sky, gray clouds are like lead.
In the rolling gray clouds, thunder flickered, and blood fainted.
The crimson earth stretches as far as the eye can see, occasionally obscured by the equally red mountains.
The pungent smell of sulfur and burnt smell mixed with heat churned in the nasal cavities, and the poisonous gas was like a poisonous snake burrowing into the lungs.
Su Ye felt that the surface temperature of his body exceeded 50 degrees Celsius.
It's like being in a boiling poisonous cauldron.
After an instant, all the discomfort disappeared, and the powerful heroic body and various talents shielded all negative forces, and even the body temperature was maintained to a normal temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.
Seven other teammates were scattered within a radius of a hundred meters.
"Assemble!" The legendary priest Xavier Dao, who led the team.
Su Ye immediately walked towards Xavier.
Between the lead cloud and the red clay, eight people gathered.
Seeing Cromwell raise the evergreen scepter and perform the "Range Stealth Technique", the group immediately disappeared into the heavens and the earth.
In the eyes of everyone, the other party is translucent.
Cromwell took out a round-mouthed bronze flat bottle, and when he wiped it with his right hand, he saw that the water inside was rippling, and a red dot appeared.
Cromwell pointed in one direction and said, "They're about a hundred kilometers away in that direction, catch up and kill them all!" ”
"Let's go!"
And they did not speak, but walked quickly.
Su Ye looked at the seven people, except for the two legends of Dennis and Xavier, the other five people were all Sanctuary, one Sanctuary priest, one Sanctuary magician, and three Sanctuary warriors.
Except for Cromwell, everyone seemed to be coated in a thick layer of blood, and exuded the same fishy smell as the city walls.
Cromwell said in a low voice: "Don't complain, this is the Plains of Hell, there are many legends like dogs, heroes are everywhere, and even demigods are commonplace. Especially since we are still outsiders, we must not fly in the sky, let alone swagger around. You can be more free in the mountains, but in the open plains, you must be invisible. ”
Su Ye nodded.
Then, Cromwell glanced enviously at a pure white ring on Su Ye's hand.
Of all of them, only Su Ye has this ring, which can teleport back to the Hellfort at a critical moment. If the others want to return to the Hellfort, they can only enter the Black Stone Hills and wait for answers.
In the empty red earth, eight people walked briskly in a state of stealth.
Su Ye kept observing his surroundings.
The team headed to a red mountain range to the southwest, and a hundred kilometers behind them, there was a black stone hill.
Those black hills were undulating, the shortest was only twenty or thirty meters, and the highest point was only three or four hundred meters, and occasionally spatial rifts could be seen passing from above.
Like a black beast lying on the red plain.
There, the entrance to the Hellplain to the Hellfortress.
Just ten minutes after walking, and the effect of the stealth technique was not over, the legendary warrior Xavier suddenly bent down and said in a low voice: "Stop, quickly release the power of concealment!" ”
Cromwell immediately used the magic ring, instantly emitting three magics, "Hidden Breath", "Elemental Obscuration" and "Silence", enveloping everyone, and the priest's scepter in the priest's hand flashed, and an invisible light swept over everyone.
Everyone held their breath and remained motionless.
Su Ye curiously followed the legendary warrior's line of sight.
At this glance, I realized that two or three kilometers ahead, the ground seemed to have abnormal slight protrusions, less than three millimeters above the surrounding ground.
After a long while, the legendary warrior breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The underground earthworm demon swarm didn't find us, so we took a detour. ”
