For Arashi no Kuni, this is undoubtedly a flying disaster. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
A moment ago, they had lived a peaceful, peaceful life, but in the blink of an eye, hundreds of dragons were looming over the sky of the city, flying across the border, reaching their destination before the sentinels could report the news, but before everyone could figure out what the wyverns were trying to do, they were already attacked by the other party.
This is nothing short of a disaster.
As the inhabitants of the city watched as all sorts of dragon breath mixed with fire, frost, and thunder roared out, erasing everything on the ground, they already felt like they were in the most terrifying dream. No one tried to resist, or their resistance showed no decent results at all.
"Damn it, where the hell are these guys from!!"
Standing on the balcony, gazing at the scene in front of him, the officer at the head gritted his teeth and roared. The towers around the walls were not enough to stop the dragons from attacking, and although the soldiers were struggling to shoot arrows, the dragons could completely reverse the direction of the drizzle that was flying towards them with a wave of their wings. What's more, even if they hit the target, the scales on the dragon's body that were harder than steel were enough to easily block the attack without taking any damage.
"Boom!!"
With a loud roar, another dragon descended from the sky, trampling a house in the city under its feet, and at the same time, with a cry, many people could be seen running away from the dangerous area. It was like the panicked ants in the ant's nest and scattered in all directions. Unfortunately, their struggles were futile. For the dragon only narrowed its eyes, swept it carefully, then raised its head and turned in the direction of the crowd, and then jerked its head down and opened its mouth.
ββββοΌοΌβ
A loud dragon roar that could not be described in human words or voices erupted, accompanied by a raging red flame that erupted from the dragon's mouth and instantly ignited a large area of buildings and ground in front of it, turning them all into fed for the flames.
And those who are among them have no hope.
But this was not the end of the story, as the dragon spewed fire, its tail flicked suddenly, and the sound of breaking the air could be heard even by the soldiers in the castle tower, and with the dragon's movement, a large block of stones, fragments of walls, roofs, furniture, or people flew into the air in the dust, and then fell to the ground with a clatter. With this movement, the dragon suddenly puffed up its chest, and then it slammed, its wide black wings stretched, and then slammed it to the ground, and after smashing the houses on both sides to pieces, it flew into the air again, and then circled around the clear blue sky, ready to attack again.
You don't need to count them to know that hundreds of thousands of lives have disappeared from this world just now.
At this moment, the city was in complete chaos, and people didn't know where to flee. Although reason told them that they should flee the city as soon as possible, Judy completely extinguished their hopes in the first place, and she had sent twelve dragon knights in groups of three to attack the four gates of Arashi City in turn, completely turning them into a sea of flames, thunder, and venom. Anyone who wants to venture through the gates must be able to withstand their damage, but for ordinary people, this is obviously an impossible task.
And when the people in the city found that they had no way to retreat, despair quickly spread among them, although generally speaking, since they could not survive at this time, they had to pull a cushion to the death, but in the face of these enemies who were high in the air, they could only vent their anger in vain, and could not transfer it to the enemy. The city walls, which were extremely safe for these inhabitants in the past, now seem to them to be terrifying iron cages, and they are the guinea pigs in the cage, and life and death cannot be decided by themselves at all.
"Damn, damn, evacuate immediately, what about His Majesty the King? Is His Majesty already gone? We will retreat too........."
Seeing that another area was shrouded in thick green mist, the officer's heart had fallen to the bottom, and he hurried out of the balcony and strode down -- and then a violent tremor ran through the whole castle. The poor officer had only time to look up and see the huge ceiling fall towards him, and then darkness enveloped his body.
Grace is above.
This was his last thought before he died.
The capital of Arashi no Kuni was reduced to ruins in eighteen minutesβtwo minutes less than Yuren had expected.
And for the continent as a whole, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. In fact, when the news about the destruction of the capital of Arashi no Kuni was put on the tables of the kings and ministers of various countries, they did not think about how to obtain benefits, but first confirmed that this was a joke, you are joking with me!!
Faris-Arashi is not a big country, but it is also an old kingdom, and such a kingdom has been completely wiped out in less than twenty minutes, if not a joke, then I am afraid that no one will believe it.
But even if no one believes it, it's still a fact, not a joke.
So, who is the murderer?
There is little need to be discussed, because there are only a handful of people who can do this -- they can be counted on one finger.
Knights of the End.
So, why are they doing this?
The crowd's doubts didn't last long, as Yulian soon issued an announcement to answer their inner questions.
"The patriarch of the Kane family in the land of Arashi personally admitted that his family was primarily responsible for allegedly interfering in external affairs, as the Knights of the End punished him. β
A simple and clear sentence, however, it made many people feel the chill of Sensen.
In fact, even this announcement can be said to be vague, no external affairs, no main responsibility, but everyone is not stupid enough to ask, the only thing they can guess is that the Kane family is very likely to have a conflict with the Knights of the Last on something, and then did such a thing......... However, this speculation alone did not satisfy everyone, but they had no other way.
Because they suddenly remembered.
The organization in front of me is not a new top force, but the legendary Knights of the End that has always existed on the continent.
That's right, the most terrible demon in that legend, the evil in that legend is enough to make everyone tremble.
In fact, since Yuren announced the rebirth of the Knights of the Last Empire, few people have mentioned their previous history, firstly, because of the long time gap, and secondly, because of the threat of the Sith Empire, everyone can't wait to see a force that can compete with the Sith Empire, and the appearance of the Knights of the End immediately filled the vacancy that everyone expected.
People are very strange animals, if you say every day that so-and-so is going to be the enemy of so-and-so, and the people next to you are also thinking so-and-so, then over time, you will really think that so-and-so is the enemy of so-and-so. This can almost be said to be a kind of subconscious self-hypnosis, and in fact, many people have gradually been instilled in this kind of word of mouth that the Knights of the End are the enemies of the Sith Empire, and they must be mortal enemies between them, and there will be war!
But now, they are finally sober.
It is true that the Knights of the End may not be friendly with the Sith Empire, but this does not mean that they are necessarily their allies, and this time the lesson of the Arashi no Kuni has taught many people that they are not righteous messengers who have come to fight against the evil forces, and they themselves are just another kind of evil!!
I have to say that this discovery has made many countries feel very frustrated, and the current situation is no longer to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but the former wolf and the tiger -- in front of them, the Sith Empire is ambitiously peeking into their territory, and behind them, the shadow of the Knights of the Last is lurking there all the time, and no one knows when it will suddenly give you a knife.
Fortunately, the Knights of the End do not have the same strong desire to expand as the Sith Empire, but it is precisely this that makes various countries feel uneasy, after all, the expansion of the Sith Empire is traceable, and no matter how powerful the Four Knights of Damnation are, as long as they follow the route of their attack, they can at least have a general direction to prepare. But the Knights of the End, the targets of their attacks are completely arbitrary, with no trajectory to follow - just like this time, the Holy Grace is above, who would have thought that they would actually cross the borders of three countries and launch a devastating attack on the capital of another country?!
For a time, everyone in the countries on the mainland became dangerous, and on the one hand, they began to strengthen their vigilance. On the other hand, almost all countries have sent spies in the hope of finding out how the Kane family provoked the Knights of the Last Grace, and they don't want to unknowingly repeat the mistakes of the past.
At the moment, Yuren doesn't pay attention to these small things that seem trivial to him, because he has more important things to do.
Twilight Forest, Dungeon.
Perhaps because of the cold winter, the originally damp and gloomy dungeon is now even more gloomy. You Lian put his hands behind his back and looked at the woman in front of him, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Sensing Yuren's gaze, Farian glared back unwillingly.
After that, things became very simple, since the Kane family had fallen, then, as Yuren said, there was no need for other punishments from the Mage Guild, so the Speaker quickly announced the punishment measures he had planned with Yuren before, stripping Falian of her mage status, and sealing her spell-casting abilities and imprisoning her in an ice prison forever - at least externally.
This announcement immediately caused an uproar in the City of a Thousand Laws, and sure enough, many mages expressed incomprehension that Falian had been punished so severely, but after the Mage Guild explained and showed the picture inside the magic crystal that Yuren had brought in front of all the mages, the objection was immediately much smaller. The mages may still be suspicious of the severity of this trial, but they can't possibly agree with the theories of such a life-trampling person, not to mention that Falian's theories are still only at the level of theories, and there is not even a clear description. And to involve so many civilians for the sake of such vague and ambiguous things, and to kill them, is in any case unacceptable and worthy of approval.
Of course, it was not without the opposition of diehards, but the twelve-star archmages were not vegetarians either, and under their thunderous wrists, the doubts were quickly dispelled, and everything that was left of the Falian was quickly destroyed.
Almost all the mages believed that Falian should spend the rest of her life in the forbidden ice prison of the City of a Thousand Laws, but they had no idea that on the night of the announcement of the trial, Yulian would take Falian from the ice prison with the twin sisters - and now, she was taken here, in the dungeon of the Twilight Forest.
"It's a shame that your fiancΓ© wasn't able to help. β
You Lian said leisurely, his tone was so relaxed that it was hateful.
As for his words, Farion only snorted coldly, and did not mean to answer.
At this moment, Farian was wearing only a thin robe, and her hands were tightly fastened to the wall by chains, forming a large shape. It wasn't just any chain, in fact, as long as you could tell from the intricate and strange ornate circle on the chain, it must have some kind of special purpose. In fact, this is a device specially designed to imprison the mage's ability to cast spells, so as to prevent the other party from accidentally escaping without seeing it, after all, there are too many such things.
Messiah and Semia had gone back to their rooms to rest, and at this moment Yuren was followed by the head maid who was holding a torch for him, although Charlotte looked the same as always, but from the tired look between her eyebrows, it could be seen that the head maid had not had much rest recently.
"What did you bring me here?" Mr. Yuren?"
After a moment of silence, Farian finally decided to ask, pulling the initiative to his side. In fact, she didn't believe that the other party would come to her for trouble just because of the violation of the noble territory, she knew very well what kind of role the Knights of the End was in history, and frankly speaking, if compared to the other party, then everything she did was nothing to mention, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
But it was clear that this did not seem to be the case to the head of the Knights of the Last Days.
"Mage Falian........."
Hearing Farion's inquiry, Julien looked up, glanced at her, and then lowered his head and opened a thick, slightly worn book in his hand.
"Born in August of the year of stars and leaves, from Qingquan Valley, his parents died when he was a child, he entered the Eastern Mage Academy at the age of twelve to study, and entered the City of Thousand Laws at the age of fourteen......... That's a glorious history. β
Yuren said this, finally looking up and looking at Farion with a strange smile.
"With the publication of papers such as "The Resonance Structure of Magic Structure" and "Exploration of Crystal Flow Orientation", he obtained the status of an archmage, and then inherited the position of a twelve-star mage, presiding over the research and development of magic structures........."
β...............β
What did he say he was trying to do?
In the face of Yuren's inquiry, Farian remained silent, but a bad premonition came to his heart.
"Such a promising man shouldn't have done such a stupid act, right?
β..................β
Farian didn't mean to answer, but Yuren just asked, shrugged his shoulders, narrowed his eyes, and held out his right hand.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Farion's body instinctively tensed in the face of Yuren's outstretched hand, and she twisted her body in an attempt to escape the other. But the hard, cold walls and chains stopped her from doing it all. And Yu Lian's hand touched her body so easily, and then stretched out his palm and pressed her lower abdomen.
βοΌοΌβ
A shy flush immediately flashed across Falian's face, but Yulian clearly didn't intend to stop there, he just stared at Falian's frightened gaze, then showed a light-hearted smile, and then, his right hand slowly reached down, and then reached between Falian's legs.
"Woo!!!!!
Sensing the invasion of the foreign body, Farian instinctively wanted to bring her legs together, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do it, instead, she began to hum involuntarily, and Yulian didn't seem to notice the other party's reaction at all, he just focused on his fingers, and after a moment, he withdrew his hand, with a hint of appreciation, and looked playfully at the translucent liquid that slowly hung between his index finger and ring finger.
"It's really a woman with a silver mess, no matter who touches her, do you feel it?, but it's not surprising that she's not a virgin anymore. I guess even the eggplant will react. β
"It's just that your skills are good, host. β
Charlotte certainly doesn't forget to sing duets with her master.
"It's useless just to have good skills, if you encounter a cold surname, then I'm useless as a hero?"
As he spoke, Yuren took out his handkerchief and wiped the liquid from his fingers, and then looked at Falian's face again. At this moment, the female mage was already flushed, glaring at You Lian with shame and anger. Her eyes were almost bursting with fire.
"Alright, that's all for the small talk. β
For Yu Lian, checking whether the other party is a virgin or whether the surname is cold is obviously just part of the small talk, and Farion, who heard this, was already extremely angry, if it wasn't for being bound by chains, she would have wanted to pounce down and strangle the young man in front of her at this moment, but Yu Lian's next sentence made her immediately feel a chill like a basin of cold water poured down.
"So let's get to the point, I'm really curious, how did a remnant of the First Age survive until now?"
β......... I don't understand what you mean. β
Fallan finally spoke, but at this moment, her body trembled slightly.
"What the first age, what ............"
"I've read your paper carefully......... That's not the idea of the Mage Guild, it's right to think of Mana as energy, but it's a tool............ This is not a concept of the Mage's Guild. β
"It's my personal realization. β
Farion stared at Julien intently.
"It has nothing to do with what the first age is. β
"Oh? really?"
"Of course it's true!!"
"So, how do you prove it?"
"What's there to prove it!!"
Hearing this, Faryan immediately became excited.
"I don't know anything about the First Age, I'm not an eccentric, I'm a mage, I can cast spells, it's ............"
Farion was stunned at this, and then she looked at Yuren with a frightened gaze. Yuren's smile didn't change in the slightest.
"That's right, a mage can indeed cast spells...... But how do you know that people of the First Age couldn't cast spells?"
"I don't know!!"
Farion roared again.
"I just want to say that I am a mage and that I am different from ordinary people. Moreover, if it is really as you said, then so many ordinary people on the continent who can't cast spells, are they all people from the first era?!"
"Of course it can't be. β
Hearing this, Yuren shook his head, but he quickly stepped forward, and then, reaching out and grabbing the collar of Falian's robe.
"It's true that ordinary people don't know how to cast spells and don't have talent, it's very common. But......... It's not common for people who can't cast spells to cast spells!!"
As he spoke, Yulian grabbed it violently and tore Farion's robes fiercely.
Losing the cover and restraint of the clothes, the snow-white skin and plump breasts immediately appeared in the firelight with Yu Lian's movements, and a body in tattered clothes that vaguely revealed the charm of the female surname would be extremely exciting if any man saw it. But Julien was very calm, and his eyes were fixed on Falian's towering breastsβthe bright rubies set in them, to be exact.
"Bloodline Mechanism. β
Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Undoubtedly, the trick of the first age. β
"This, this is the skill of an alchemist. β
Fallon gritted his teeth and continued to answer.
"This is what I discovered by accident from an ancient alchemist's record........."
"The Alchemist Guild does not have such a skill, and flesh fusion is a taboo for alchemists. β
It's a pity that in front of her, there is a genius who knows all the knowledge of the alchemists of the past.
"This is a skill that belongs only to those remnants of the First Age, I am sure of that, master. β
"Good. β
Yuren nodded, then looked at Farion again.
"Now, you can tell the truth, Mage Falian, where are you from, and how many people like you are left, can you tell me?"
β......... I don't know what you're talking about. β
"In that case, I can't help it. β
Yuren said, suddenly taking a few steps back, and then leaving the cage.
"Charlotte. β
"Yes, master. β
"Since she doesn't want to say it, then let little Salil entertain her well. β
"Of course there is no problem. β
What exactly are they talking about?
Just as Farian looked at the two of them with some confusion, she suddenly felt that the originally hard wall behind her suddenly became much softer.
Then, several tentacles flew out of it, binding the female mage in front of her.
(To be continued)
