Chapter 5: The Eve of Dawn

The armor of the Othur soldiers is very heavy, and even magically strengthened swords are difficult to pierce, and Mars must have become stronger again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Eric, you have been hiding here since you defected!Since you have become so inhuman, it is better to let my former friend end your life!" Mars rushed with his sword.

This doesn't seem to be the same as the imaginary reunion of old friends...... I threw a few pieces of broken crystal on the ground and used my magic to create an iron sword on the ground, which immediately blocked Mars's slash.

"You've become stronger since the mutiny, and it seems that you've taken money from Armenia, and then you're doing your harmful research. Mars's sword pressed harder.

"What mutiny, what money? I got here in battle with the Armenians. There's no road to the outside, I've been here for half a year, and I don't know what's going on outside. I really don't understand what you're talking nonsense. I gritted my teeth and slammed his sword away. He took a few steps back.

"Didn't you join forces with Armenari to break the defense of the Neuzer Pass? Wasn't it the Neuzer Plateau that you led the Armenian army to capture? Wasn't it you who used magic to attack the city of Domir?

"Who did you listen to?Since you disappeared, I finally researched new magic and brought a team of people to support the front line, but we were attacked by the Armenian military space magic, and I was also sent here by the Armenian magician with space magic, and I stayed here for half a year. Also, rocks fell from the sky that day, and I almost lost my life, and even my sister's favorite person was stoned to death. How could I make Lena sad?"

"Then why did all the soldiers of Armenia know how to use fireballs? They also say that it was first used by Eric of Other. ”

It was so unexpected that I was speechless. "Perhaps...... One of the people I taught the art of fireballs was the spy of Armenia...... I have taught so many people in the capital guard, who knows if there are any spies among them. ”

"But the streets of Armenia are full of Count Eric's fireball skills, killing a large number of Orsser's soldiers for Armenia......"

"You're talking nonsense!" suddenly Nina's voice came from behind him.

"Don't come here!

"Although Eric only knows how to study magic, and he can't do without crystals all day," Nina said as she ran over and put her arm around me, crying slightly, "but he's gentle and reliable, so he can't do that kind of thing!"

Mars froze. After a while, he scratched the back of his head and said, "I want to trust Eric too...... But people all over the world are saying that he is not good. The Armenians said that he had done a great service to Armenia, and the soldiers of Oser said that he had brought a group of men to Armenia and helped them conquer the New Zero. I really don't know what to do anymore. ”

"Eh, Armenia has already conquered the New Zel Plateau?" I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Yes, the Oters' army has retreated below the plateau. The entire army of Armenia is skilled in fireball skills, and it is estimated that Othur will fall soon. But the hateful dad actually let the soldiers go to death. Mars gritted his teeth, and I could feel his anxiety.

"But how did you just behead two of Otser's soldiers?"

"Well, it's a long story, I was pretending to be an assassin and attacking the palace at night, but the space magic missed again, and I teleported myself and the soldiers guarding the gate here. ”

"The Palace...... Isn't that your house......" Looking at his strange outfit, I probably believed it.

"What's wrong?" Granny Taya came out of the room as well. She saw Nina grinning as she grabbed my arm.

"Granny Taya, the prince of Osser, the good friend Mars whom I mentioned earlier, is here. ”

"Taya, Taya, Michelle, so you're here. Duke Kabor has often spoken to me about you as a pioneer of magic. Mars looked a little excited.

"Don't dare to be it, the title of pioneer is still left to Eric. In order to make magic bring happiness to people, he did not give up studying magic even when he was trapped in this small mountain village. If you want to worship it, you should worship this old friend of yours. ”

"Hmm...... Since you said so, I'd better believe Eric for once. ”

"Well, let's come in and have a cup of tea. Granny Taya turned around again and said to a group of villagers who had come with a lamp, "Everyone is gone, it's Eric's friend." ”

Mars took the sword, and I threw it on the ground, using a stream of energy to melt the sword into the earth. But Nina held on to me. Probably because I just said that, she wasn't as reserved with me as she used to be. But I was still a little uncomfortable, and my heart was beating faster than when I was blocking Mars's attack.

I carried Nina and went into the house with Granny Taya and Mars.

Nina made some tea. It is said to be tea, but it is actually a unique plant in this mountain village, and it also has a unique fragrance after brewing, so it is planted as tea.

"Eh, there are more and more people, and there are not enough cups. Nina walked out of the house, and after a while, there was a burst of light outside, and then she came in with a pottery cup. I guess it's also made with magic.

"I didn't expect your magic to be so magical, it's really jaw-dropping compared to the fireball technique outside. ”

"Although the fireball technique was also the first one I used...... But magic can bring a lot of convenience, and that's not all. It's you, I haven't seen you for half a year, and your swordsmanship has improved so much. ”

"I've been disguised as a civilian ever since I was teleported away by the magicians of Armenia using space magic, but the terrain of the place I was teleported to was complicated and there were always bandits. I don't have much money on me, but I can't be bullied by robbers. I didn't expect the robbers to be so strong, I couldn't handle it at first. Later, the swordsmanship became more and more refined. One day I passed by a temple with a stele inscribed with some difficult ancient inscriptions, the same as the one in the basement of the royal palace where I lived. But fortunately, I can still read the ancient text, so I learned the space magic written on it, and by the way, I also knew that I was in Armenia. ”

"There really is a temple. The magic array that sealed the magic might be real, Granny Taya. ”

"What magic array?"

I told him about the ancient book that Granny Taya mentioned.

"I see. However, there are also stone tablets in the basement of the palace similar to those in the temple, and I used to think that my father had this habit...... Now think about ......"

"Perhaps Orsher's royal palace was built on the temple. I said, "On the day that Armenia attacked the city of Domir with a meteorite, the boulder did not hit the palace, but circled around the palace, and I guessed that someone had used a magic shield." However, since I am the first person in the Othur Kingdom to understand these magics, it is impossible for someone else to activate the protective shield, it may be a magic array that has already been arranged. In this way, it must have been left by people when the temple was built in ancient times. ”

"Possibly. However, the stele in the palace was mainly about the sacred sword, and it is recorded that the person who possessed the sword was not affected by any magic. ”

"That ancient book records about the temple. The temple of Osser, located on the Loop of the Domir River, is now the most suspicious of all and contains the latest research on weapons, the temple of Armenia on a hill that records the highest level of magic of the time, and the temple of Torem in the desert records the method of making a pact with demons. Of course, now that it seems that these are likely to be true, then the matter of the magic array may also be true. Granny Taya analyzed.

"By the way, teach us how to use space magic. "I'm curious.

"It's to imagine the location to be teleported, release the energy from the crystal, and the magic array will come out. However, if you don't concentrate a bit, the location of the teleportation will shift, and you don't know where to run, like I just ...... It's because of the focus on the soldiers that the space magic has gone astray. Of course, people who are inattentive can't use space magic. ”

I tried it, imagining the appearance of my house, imagining the magic array of space magic, concentrating, using a little cane, and in an instant, a magic array of space magic appeared in front of me. I walked through the magic circle, but the other end of the magic circle was pitch black. I used my cane to shine and look around, this is my house, but why is there no one at this time, not even a servant. I concentrated and used space magic to go back.

"I learned it so quickly, it's really you. Mars sighed.

"I just got home, but there's no one at home. ”

"It's not crazy that you've betrayed outside, your family seems to be in prison. ”

"Oh dear, Mr. White is unfortunate. Granny Taya sighed.

"Where are they locked up? I'll teleport over and get them out. "I'm a little impatient.

"I don't know about this, but you can't rush the prison robbery, and you have to plan first. Mars said.

Nina took my hand and I began to calm down and take a deep breath.

"Mars, would you like to try our latest research on magic?" I suggested.

"Forget it, I can't even understand the fireball technique of the rotten street, and it will be hot as soon as I use it. However, space magic is acceptable, as long as you concentrate. ”

"Then you might be interested in this. "I made a sword with crystals embedded in it and attached flames to the sword.

"That's good, teach me. ”

Mars is quick to draw cats and tigers, but it's always hot, and I still waste a lot of tongues. But it didn't take long for him to figure it out.

"It's up to you to like it, or you can choose it according to your needs. ”

"This is good, it's probably enough, let's think about it when it's time to use it. But I'm more concerned about the Holy Sword than that. I don't know how to get the holy sword, after all, there is no record on the stone tablet. ”

"I can't help it, and the book doesn't write about the holy sword, but it only mentions that there was once a prince of Osser, who used the holy sword to win many battles and bring peace to the people. Granny Taya said.

"Mars is also a prince...... Oh yes, about your mother...... "I remembered his background. "I remember that King Osse had only one wife, which means that your mother was the only one who married King Osser. There was once a princess of Armenia who married King Othur, and I think this princess must be your mother......"

"Uh, yes. Really?" we all nodded. "Well, it doesn't matter, she's been nice to me and good to my father, and I think that's enough. But thank you for telling me about it. ”

"Hey, you're welcome, you're not my best friend. ”

"By the way, I teleported over before I was done. I want to find my father and ask him to change his ways, if he can't change, I can only force him to make a change, after all, I think he did something wrong. ”

"We've got your back. Anyway, I want to save my parents and sister, so let's discuss the battle plan. ”

"Okay, but then again, where is this?"

So, we told him about this mountain village.

"I don't want this to be discovered by anyone else, even if you and I know space magic. I think it's very comfortable and comfortable to live here, and I like it a lot. There are also people I like here...... So, let's keep this a secret and we'll keep it together, okay?"

"No problem, Eric. I really like it here, too. Compared to the harsh conditions of Armenia, this place is truly a paradise. One day, when the country is settled, I want to live here for a while. ”

"Come often when you have time, and say hello to Kabor for me when I go back. Granny Taya said kindly.

"Hmm. After hearing that the college was destroyed, the Duke of Kaubor had nothing to do and went home to retire. But according to his temperament, it's probably the same as Eric, doing some research or something. Maybe I'll see him soon. After all, he has always been very good to me since I was a child, and he has done his best for the affairs of the country, and he is also very attentive to founding Aohur College, and we have all benefited a lot. But if he knew that his father was such a person, he would probably help us. It's getting late, Granny Taya, go get some rest, and Eric and I have to work on tomorrow's plan of action. ”

"Nina, you can go and rest with your mother-in-law, we may discuss it late. ”

"Actually...... I think ...... "Nina is a little shy, completely different from the usual vigorous farm work."

"You stay with them, I'll go back and rest first. Granny Taya was smiling again.

Mars laughed as well. "Mars actually laughed along, what is the ring on your hand? I wanted to tell you a long time ago, are you on good terms with some Armenian girl?"

"I'll go, you've found out. How did you find out?"

"Well, I don't know you yet. Your cautious habits should not be in the city of Domir for too long, and you must be in Amenia most of the time. And you care so much about the harsh environment of Armenia, and you don't care that your mother is Armenian, plus the ring on your hand, it is likely that you were attracted by the Armenian girl. ”

"It's still you, it's exactly the same as you used to be. ”

"Hey, let's get down to business. "I was a little happy to be complimented, and in order to cover it up, I quickly pulled away from the topic.

Granny Taya went to rest and Nina was preparing supper for us.

"I think we should go and go to Kaubor. Mars proposed, "The Duke of Caubor is a very good man, as I mentioned earlier, and he can distinguish between right and wrong, as long as we make it clear, maybe he will help us." ”

"I agree, at least ask where my parents and Lena are, and then I can give you a fight after they are rescued. ”

"Well, let's go to the Duke of Kaupor first. Go now. ”

"Good. Nina, we'll go back as soon as we go. ”

"Hmm. ”

Mars used space magic, and he and I walked through the magic circle and went straight to the Duke's laboratory.

Duke Kaubor was the only one in the lab, and he was still experimenting.

"Uncle Cobo, it's so late, and you're still experimenting. Mars whispered.

Kaubor was taken aback. "Eh, Prince Mars, how do you ...... Eric, aren't you a mutiny, how can you ......?"

I explained it to Mars, and the Duke of Kaubor gradually recovered from his fright.

"I see. You are still young, and I believe them all. It seems that King Osser's told a lot of lies, and since you both disappeared, he said that Eric attacked the royal capital with a meteorite, and he took people with him to commit treason. Probably because he was jealous that you had won the hearts of the citizens of Domir. But the citizens don't believe this lie, and I am also half-convinced, only others believe this lie. Especially the nationals of the Neuzer plateau. The fall of their homeland was largely due to Eric's fireball technique. But it doesn't matter anymore. Since you want to make the people's life better, and I don't happen to approve of the king's approach, I'll help you. ”

"Great. We need like-minded people, and lots of crystals. There are not many people, but more refinement. Mars said.

"Aren't you graduates the best buddies, I'm going to find a way to secretly gather some trustworthy people, and then proceed according to your plan. ”

"Duke, do you know where my family is being held?" I asked eagerly.

"I guess I'll be sent to the Aklie Mountains to dig for crystals. It is said to be the place where most of the prisoners were held. Well, Mr. White is suffering too. ”

"Thank you. I'll find a way to save them. "I've finally found a way forward.

"I hope you keep it a secret and don't tell anyone about tonight's events. The only thing to be ashamed of is that I can't give you anything after the deed is done, and I have to let you take risks. Mars said.

"It's okay, I'm willing to do it. ”

"By the way, Duke Caubol, have you had any new research on magic lately?" I asked.

"I knew you would ask. Lately I've been thinking about reviving Othur Academy, so my research is mostly about building and shaping. What I can do now is make a big rock shape the way I imagined. ”

"Great, that's exactly what I wanted. The only similar shaping magic I can use is the magic that spawns a sword. "I gave a demo. "The principle of plasticity is relatively simple, just let the iron flow with the energy. Your magic can make the whole object follow the flow of energy to the desired way, and this can be used for a variety of purposes. ”

After all, I knew the principles of magic, and I learned it very quickly.

"We'll talk about magic again when we have a chance later, and I still have a lot to tell you, but it's getting late. ”

"Okay, you can go back today, I should go back too. Within three days, I had gathered all the people. ”

"Thank you. As soon as Mars finished speaking, I opened the portal and we went back together.

"You're finally back, it's late at night. Nina sat there quietly.

We had a late-night snack and continued to discuss the battle plan.

Nina looked a little sleepy and collapsed on my shoulder. I was a little panicked, but I gritted my teeth and held back, not daring to move, for fear of disturbing her. I carried her to the bed, covered her with the quilt, and was about to turn away when she grabbed my hand. I froze for a moment, stroked her hand, put her hand under the covers, and then returned to the table and sat down, using the air stream to cast soundproofing magic, so that we could discuss it in peace.

Before I knew it, through the window, I saw that the sky outside was gradually whitening and the night was fading.
