The egg in Tyrella Cleopatra's arms was a dragon egg, and Levi was well aware of the fact, but he didn't say anything.

Leaning in the carriage and listening to the sound of the night rain outside the window, he quietly pondered the true intentions of Curran, the prince of Gole, whether it was this gathering of collectors or playing chess with him, it seemed that there were strange intentions hidden.

Even with a bag of gold coins, Levi didn't want to get involved in Curran's affairs at all, because there were many things that he needed to do in the near future, not only to help Alva participate in the Demon Fighting Tournament, but also to deal with Nephitali who was hiding in Slom City...... Thinking about these things, he started to have a headache again.

The carriage was driving on a muddy country road, and the rain was getting heavier.

The groom sat in front and whipped his whip, and suddenly he said, "Although I have always been unaccustomed to you weak bachelors, you have spoken to that little girl very well to-day. ”

Levi snorted and said, "Her hand is very comfortable to hold, and now I still have the fragrance on my hand, do you want to smell it?" ”

The groom was silent for a while, and did not speak, but silently cursed the nasty people behind him in his heart.

Levi didn't smell his hand at all, just stared at the night outside the car window with some distraction. According to his original character, he would definitely not say those superfluous words to the maid Leanne...... But when he saw her, Levi couldn't help but think of Nineveh.

"It's been nine years...... Levi whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "I'm about to find you, Flame of Destruction." ”

If Alva had been there, he would have been amazed by Levi's eyes, unlike any other time, his eyes were filled with the shadow of anger, but they were as calm as a bottomless cold pool.

Suddenly, Levi felt the air tremble slightly, and there was the sound of horses' hooves, not ordinary horses' hooves, but a loud sound that made the muddy road tremble.

Levi sat up and looked out the window, but it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything but the rain splashing down.

The voices grew louder and louder, and figures flew through the window, followed by a carriage, followed by more figures and carriages coming up from behind.

"What's that?" He had to shout so that the groom could hear him.

"March! It's a rainy night march! We've got to give way! ”

Levi didn't have time to reply, and with a great force overturned their carriage. Like a huge wave, the air currents suspended the car and lifted the horse's hooves off the ground, and then the carriage unbalanced, rolled over off the road, and crashed against a huge rock.

Levi only felt dizzy and blurred in front of him, but he could only vaguely see the brilliant firelight.

Then he smelled blood.

The smell of blood emanated from the groom, and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

"Hey, you're not going to die, are you?" Levi put his hand in front of his nose and was no longer breathing.

Levi took a few steps back, leaned against the rock wall and gasped for air, and soon his head was no longer heavy and his vision was clear.

The carriage in which he was riding had fallen apart, the groom had died, the orange light was reflected in the sky before him, the rain hidden in the night became clear in the light, and the sound of the rain was wrapped in terrible screams and angry cries.

In such a situation, Levi did not have time to rest for too long, he poked his head out of the rock, and was greeted by a sea of fire:

A group of warriors in brown-red leather armor struggled in the blazing flames, people who were ignited by the fire fell from their horses, and burly men swung heavy battle axes in the air, and the flames on their bodies were helpless......

This fire could not be extinguished even by torrential rain.

It looked like a convoy of goods, with ten wagons and about fifty soldiers, all of which were set on fire or shattered, and Levi could faintly see the jewels and gold bricks scattered on the dirt floor.

"This group of warriors is wearing Goler leather armor, it should be the ...... of Curran's convoy" Levi's face was gloomy, "The attacker should be a magician who specializes in fire magic. ”

When this kind of thing happens, he should stay out of it, but there is nowhere to hide his body in the open field, and he is so close that he can't run far.

As Levi pondered, a fiery figure appeared in mid-air, flying like a falcon over the convoy, leaving a series of wheel-sized fireballs bombarding the heads of the Goller warriors.

One of them landed on the side of a boulder in front of Levi's and nearly blew him up.

Feeling the heat in his ears, Levi raised his head and continued to watch.

The scene was terrible, but the Gorerians were not defenseless, and they had a special experience of fighting the Odric magicians for many years - an archer hid under the half-collapsed carriage, he held a hard bow in one hand and an iron arrow in the other, and his eyes were fixed on the puddle in front of him, and the red night sky was reflected in the water.

When the figure of the flame man swept over the water, the archer lay down on the ground and stepped out from under the carriage, and the bow and arrow in his hand were instantly set, the bowstring sounded, and the arrow came out in response!

The magician in mid-air was pierced by the arrow feathers like a ghost, although he was hit, no blood spilled, his body was as fragile as paper, and in an instant it disintegrated into a circle of beautiful fire lotus, and the flame petals were scattered and disappeared.

Almost at the same time, an orange-red fireball flew out from where the magician's body had dissipated, and in the blink of an eye landed on the carriage where the archers were hiding, and a violent explosion rang out, and the flames suddenly engulfed the entire carriage.

"Counter Magic [Flame Incarnation]." Levi frowned and said, "It's actually a magister...... Why did he attack the convoy? ”

While Levi was pondering, the magician, who had been hit by the arrow, walked out of a raging flame, his black cloak wrapped around his body, and he looked unharmed.

But the arrow that triggered his counter-magic enraged him, and the mysterious magister stood in the middle of the convoy, chanting a new incantation.

Hearing the sound of the incantation, Levi's face changed, and he had no time to hide his figure, so he ran away and fled towards the muddy field.

Behind him are scenes of thrilling struggle:

A golee warrior rushed at the mage with a short axe, and he roared and pounced, only to be engulfed by a wall of fire that suddenly rose......

A Gorek archer shoots a dark arrow, which is swept away by the flames......

A charred Gole pounced on the mage with the last of his strength, and before he could reach his body, he was consumed by the flames that rolled up his cloak......

Medium magic [Scorching Grate], low magic [Blacksmith Bellows], medium magic [Burning Cloak], these are not the reasons for Levi's escape.

Levi ran as fast as he could, as if he had some kind of hidden induction in his mind, or the result of a calculation, and as the alarm bell rang at a critical point, he leaped forward, and threw himself into the muddy field—

The brilliant blazing light seemed to turn into a wisp of nimble ribbon fluttering and circling, and its trajectory was an almost derailed and almost perfect circle; Without warning, the earth revealed an orange-red hot light, and countless scorched pillars of light converged into a huge pillar of light, which quickly and unrivaled the shackles of the earth after a short period of suppression, and soared straight into the sky.

After a blink of an eye, the pillars of light vanished, the wails and roars vanished, and the original tranquility seemed to be restored between heaven and earth, except for the sound of pouring rain on the hot earth.

With the Flame Mage as the center, there was not an inch of pure land within a radius of 100 meters, neither the corpses of the Goles nor the wagons of the convoy survived, and there were charred severed limbs, the wreckage of horses, and the charred black fragments of the carriage everywhere, and the rain washed the ground, and the little white smoke that rose seemed to be the scorched earth making a silent wail.

Levi got up from the ground, his robes stained with mud and the blackened earth a few centimeters from his heels.

High magic [Slaya Barnes's Light Prison], but unfortunately he ran in a hurry, and did not have the opportunity to see the spectacular sight of the flames flying through everything.

When Levi, covered in mud and wet, stood up, he immediately looked at the terrible flame magician, and the magician in the middle of the scorched earth also looked at him.

"Clever fish that slipped through the net."

The magician's voice came from under the black cloak, clear in the rain.

Through the heavy rain, Levi took a deep breath, pulled his legs and began to run, only this time not towards the distance, but at the wreckage of the convoy.

"Looks like a magician from the Kingdom Academy? It's ridiculous that you can only run on your feet. The magician's unhurried voice came, "You are unfortunate, since you have been swept up in my stage, let the fire of destruction sacrifice you." ”

Levi's heart beat violently, as if he had missed a beat, and he stumbled under his feet, slowing down a step in an instant.

But he didn't dare to stop and think, because every next step was a matter of life and death.

The chant of the spell rang out, perhaps out of respect for the magician, who cast a medium spell to end Levi's life.

The black cloak swayed softly in the wind, and a bean-sized ball of light flickered in front of the flame mage before turning into a miniature flame. The flames churned and flew towards Levi's running figure, peeling off the cocoon during the flight, and wisps of beautiful flame threads rolled and spread, like a beautiful flower of flames, burning the air hot, and the air currents rolled and made a bird-like soft chirp—

[Afriedgling]!

A human-sized flame bird flew out of the flames like a blooming flower and pounced on Levi!

"Quiet!"

The Flame Mage was stunned, and in his hallucinations, it was as if someone had uttered the word in a majestic voice, lingering in his ears...... No, no one said that, what he saw was-

Levi's mouth, which was running wildly in the torrential rain, spat out an abrupt and clear syllable.

It's that syllable, it's not "quiet", it's a weird, meaningless note!

The flame chick's whistling weakened, and its body disintegrated, dissipating in just two seconds, as if it had never existed.

The flame mage could barely believe his eyes.

"What's going on?" He stared blankly at the flames that had drifted away.

And the object of his spell, Levi is still running towards an inexplicable goal.

A sense of tension suddenly rose in the magician's heart, and instead of wasting time in confusion, he immediately chanted the incantation he knew best.

Levi spat out another syllable.

This time, a wall of fire rose in front of him, but before it could reach its height, it died down and collapsed in midair, leaving only sporadic shards of fire.

Levi leaped from the crumbling wall of fire without slowing down half a step. The only damage this magic inflicted on him was to burn a few small holes in his robes.

"Impossible!"

The Flame Mage was shocked.

The successive failed chanting of magic reminded him of his apprenticeship as a teenager, when he was often unable to recite a simple spell throughout the day, and the release of magic often ended in a comical loss of control.

But now that he was a magus, almost one of the highest levels of the wizarding world, how could he fail at two medium magic spells? And again, it failed once in a row and separately!

In a moment when the flame mage was in a great trance, mania, and panic, Levi finally reached his destination.

He fell to his knees as his body rushed forward, his knees dragging a furrow in the dirt, and his left and right hands picked up the lost bow and arrow.

"It's hot!"

Unlike Audric, the Gore's heavy iron bows and arrows and tough beast tendon bowstrings have survived the High Magical Light Prison, barely functioning.

Enduring the burning pain, Levi aimed the arrow at the flame mage's body, pulled the bowstring with all his might, and shot an arrow!

Even though he hadn't touched a bow and arrow for nine years, he still remembered the skills his mother had taught him, and although they were only basic, they were enough.

The arrow turned into a black shadow, slashing in a slightly descending arc in the night, piercing the mage's chest!

A chill sent chills through Levi's body occurred: the Flame Mage's body shattered like glass, turning into countless reflective shards scattered apart.

In the mid-air behind Levi, the air suddenly solidified into a smooth mirror, and when Levi subconsciously looked back, he saw his face on this strange mirror.

His black hair was wet and sticking to his forehead, his robes were tattered, and the iron bowstring in his hand trembled slightly, as if he had not yet calmed down from the slaughter.

His eyes were a little tired, and his black pupils reflected the glow of indifference and calm.

It turns out that I am in a life-and-death struggle...... That's what it looks like.

"Click!"

The mirror shattered, and the flame mage, whose whole body was intact, dodged out of the shards, his fingers slightly open, and the point of light in his palm turned into a fireball in half a second, smashing into Levi's head.

The fireball passed through Levi's head and flew into the distance, disappearing without a trace in the night.

The flame mage's pupils constricted, and he couldn't believe that he had just seen Levi's body...... Blurred a little?

But Levi is obviously still in place, his eyebrows, eyes, and facial features clearly fall into his eyes, how can it be blurred?

Levi roared in the face of an enemy close at hand, raising his iron bow in the air with both hands, and in a roar that was unfamiliar to him, he smashed it into the fire mage's face—

The magician felt a sharp pain hit his face, and as he fell, an unfinished fireball flew out of his hand and passed through Levi's shoulder.

This time he saw it clearly! Levi's body was a real blur in an instant!

Levi felt a burning burn in his shoulder, and this time his blur didn't quite work, and he was grazed by a fireball.

Without time to examine the wound, he slammed the corner of his iron bow into the mage's throat, preventing him from singing.

However, the easiest of the most unleashable forms of fire magic, the [Fire Bullet Technique], barely requires chanting, and the mage has already thrown a fireball while being stabbed in the throat with an iron bow.

Levi's hands were still clinging to the iron bow, and unfortunately, this time the "blur" was completely ineffective: his body was hit by a fireball in the blur, and the flames exploded quickly after touching his chest—he was smashed into the air and slammed into the mud several meters away.

The flame mage lay on the ground, his hand clutching his neck, his tongue sticking out and retching, trying to chant but not making a sound.

In the severe pain all over his body, Levi struggled to get up from the ground and found an iron arrow with half of the missing arrow as fast as he could.

At the same time, the magician was half-crouching on the ground, one hand on the ground, the other palm aimed at Levi, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and just after regaining the ability to speak, he was pierced through the chest by an iron arrow.

Levi grabbed the iron bow, gasped for air, then dropped it and sat down on the ground in pain.

The magister couldn't believe it before he died, he prepared several high-level magic in advance, applied two layers of counterspells to himself, and even reserved several magic combinations for the back hand, but he almost didn't use many means to die at the hands of a small person.

Little...... It doesn't seem to be.

He stared at the night sky covered in ashes.

"Blurred body...... Veil of Shadows? ”

Fire of destruction.

Levi looked silently at the mage's corpse.

He's a member of the Flames of Destruction? It was the first time in nine years that Levi had met someone who called himself the Fire of Destruction, and it was almost the closest he had come to contact that mysterious force.

But he had no way to interrogate a corpse, and he couldn't spare his hands...... If you're not careful, or you're unlucky, the one who dies won't be this magister.

Neither Emerald nor Slom had ever experienced a battle like today, and although his previous path to exile had also encountered a crisis, it was not the first time he had killed someone, but ...... He'd just killed a magister.

Actually killed a magister...... You must know that the Council of Nine is only composed of nine senior magisters.

The roar that hadn't completely shed the taste of Sven seemed to be still roaring in the depths of Levi's heart, and it couldn't be appeased enough. In the face of life and death, he has long lost his reserve.

"Ahem."

After calming down, Levi examined his body, except for a slight burn on his left shoulder, obvious bruises on his chest, and what appeared to be a broken rib.

Suppressing the desire to exhale, Levi frowned and thought.

Why did the members of the Fire of Destruction attack the convoy of the Goles? In order to provoke the war between Oderick and Gore? Or is it ...... Is it for this thing?

Levi looked at the wreckage of the carriage dozens of meters away, and even though everything around it was charred, a silver egg was still lying unharmed on the ashes, it was the size of a human head, and the surface of the eggshell was covered with mysterious patterns, like some kind of magic symbol, but it was obviously not an elemental text.

It was Curran's collection, the dragon egg in the arms of the Queen of Shadows.

Levi knew that the dragon egg was a gift from Saladin to Terella Cleopatra, and that it contained a dragon named "Lord of Frost", but it could never have been born because Saladin had siphoned out the dragon's soul...... This is a dead embryo.

Regaining a little strength, Levi walked over to the mage's corpse and searched for a moment, the blood-stained cloak containing nothing but potions bottles, a few magic books, and an alchemical ring of unknown significance.

The Flame Mage himself had an unremarkable, middle-aged face and looked like an Odelik, and nothing else was found.

Although the Kingdom Scholar Mansion is the top magician force in the continent, a small number of wild magicians also exist in the world. Unexpectedly of any clues, Levi shook his head and staggered towards the dragon egg not far away.

After getting close to the dragon egg, Levi felt a chill hit him. It's incredible, even though it's been dead for more than a thousand years, it still exudes a frosty aura...... However, the fact that Saladin gave it the title of "king" is enough to prove that it was extraordinary.

Before he could take a closer look, Levi suddenly heard a "click", and for a moment he suspected that he had misheard.

"Click, click."

A slight crack suddenly appeared on the smooth eggshell, and under Levi's shocked gaze, a dense "click" sound sounded, and the crack soon occupied the entire shell of the egg.

Lord of Frost...... Coming to life?

Reason told Levi that he needed to escape, but the shocking scene seemed to have a magical force that caught his eye and made him unable to move his feet.

Finally, the life inside the egg broke through the last obstacle, and a slender, pure white, smooth hand reached out from the crack and gently grasped the edge of the eggshell, and then the other hand also reached out, trying to tear off the shackles of the shell.

Levi had never seen such beautiful hands, whether it was the coordination of slender fingers, or the milk skin that could not have appeared on a human body, or even the length of each joint, he felt so perfect.

Contrary to this beauty is a strange sense of incongruity: the silver egg is the size of a human head, and the hands and arms that can be squeezed out of the egg are far beyond the size of the egg, and the image makes the hair stand on end.

Finally, the dragon egg split in half, and the fragments of the eggshell fell all over the ground, and a female of normal human height stood naked in front of Levi, with milky white skin and long ice-blue hair, the tips of her hair reaching the tip of her hips, and a fist-sized black hole in the breast room on her left chest, which made it difficult to look away.

Levi barely managed to stabilize his body, looked at the face of the "female", and fell into a complete stupe.

The female "Frost King" turned her ice-blue pupils, and her eyes were as thin as snakes, like the eyes of cold-blooded animals.

She didn't look at Levi as if he didn't exist, and the first thing this mysterious being did when he came into the world was to look at herself...... He spun around as if no one was around, then looked at his whole body up and down, and finally shook his head.

Her body squirmed like liquid, and even more so than liquid, she could change color...... Levi watched as the "Frost King's" complexion changed from milky white to dark cyan, his pupils turned blood-red, his round ears turned into pointed ears, his height shrank a few points, and his chest size became a few points larger.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the long blue hair, but judging from her dissatisfied expression, it seems that it is not that she doesn't want to change, but that she can't do it.

"That's the only way to do it."

The "Frost King" turned his head, not caring that he was not paying an inch, but quietly observed Levi, and after a few breaths, he said with a blank face: "A descendant of Saladin, tainted with the breath of night, no wonder it can wake me up." ”

Levi had a strange feeling that she was just stating something, not speaking to herself.

But he didn't care about that, he just stared at the mole on the lower left side of the woman's lips, and her body trembled slightly.

What else does Levi care about? The most crazy and incomprehensible thing to him is:

The face of the "Frost King" is exactly the same as that of the Queen of Shadows, Terella Cleopatra!

Originally, only the face was similar, but after she "adjusted", even the skin color, eye color, and ears were exactly the same as in the painting!

What the hell is going on? The Frost King's egg hatched the Queen of Shadows? It made him want to laugh!

In the distance, the faint glow of fire shone through the endless night, the heavy sound of horses' hooves vibrating the earth, and the subtle sound of armor clashing from the direction of Slom.

Levi looked at the comers, who were still far away, but he had to make a choice.

When he turned around, he froze again.

The Lord of Frost or Queen of Shadows, Terella, had vanished, and the silver-white dragon egg in front of him had returned to its original state, and it was impossible to see that it had ever shattered.

Did she go back again? Stuffed yourself back?

Levi really laughed this time, and although he found it troublesome, he was really amused by this extremely weird situation.

"What, am I in a dream?"

The rain was pouring down, and he put away his laughter, and stood there with a cloudy face, quietly waiting for the arrival of people from afar.

After about five minutes, a group of soldiers on horseback, dressed in silver-gray armor and black cloaks, surrounded the place, and there were nearly 100 horses.

Levi recognized it as the equipment of the city guards.

Of course, they also have a more formal name, called [王都garrison。 This unit is different from the royal security regiment, and is responsible for guarding and patrolling the city walls and suburbs.

To Levi's surprise, most of them were covered in blood, and some of them were wounded, as if they had been ambushed on the way here.

On this dark and rainy night, the city guards did not let Levi wait long, and from among the knights came a woman who looked like a chief, her face was sickly pale under the cover of the black cloak, and her long hair was also a piercing silver.

Seeing this unusual look, it was hard for Levi not to recognize her.

She is the general who guards the entire northern wall of Slom, and the owner of the relic [Touch], known as the "Silver Queen" Hill Manvenlin.

She looked as if she was wounded, and blood was oozing from her cloak, which was not obvious on the black fabric, but it was still evident on closer inspection.

"You go and search the neighborhood to see if there is any trace of the enemy, and you go and check how much tribute is left in the Gole Empire." Silver Gihir commanded with an expressionless face.

After scanning the battlefield, she finally turned her gaze to Levi's body and said calmly, "Send a group of people back to Slom and call a carriage to haul the tributes and corpses here...... The man was taken away and handed over to the vigilante for interrogation. ”

After giving the order, she rode to the edge of the field, and even if she was wounded, she insisted on patrolling the battlefield.

Levi no longer paid attention to the silver her, he took one last look at the silver dragon egg that had been found and protected by the soldiers, and left the battlefield without saying a word.
