Chapter 15: The Kingdom of Shelley

A sword light flashed in the air, and as it slashed at Grusen's neck, a black shadow ten times faster than the sword light suddenly flew out of Grusen's rotten eye socket and shot into Uthermore's face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ahh

Mark's eyes were sharp, and in the dim light of the underground hall, he saw countless small insects desperately burrowing into Uthermore's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. In just a dozen seconds, Uthermore began to bleed from seven orifices, and his whole body twitched unnaturally.

This infiltrating scene made Mark's whole body cold, and he felt that Gruson's seemingly terrifying other eye socket still had this effect, and that disgusting bug could also become a devil who took people's lives.

Just when Mark thought that this was the end of the matter, Uthermore suddenly got up and cried out in a terrible voice, "You want me to die!

As he spoke, his stomach swelled, and a difficult incantation began to be sung.

Mark was stunned when Grusen's hurried whisper suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Quick! He's going to blow himself up! You stab him in the left eye with your sword! With all your might, you can interrupt him from casting spells! Otherwise, everyone in this underground hall will die! Don't worry, he's not of a high level, so the spell of self-detonation is very long, and the chanting must not be interrupted, otherwise they will also suffer a huge backlash!"

Mark's heart moved when he heard this, and then without hesitation, he jumped up and rushed towards Uthermore. He decided to gamble, on his luck, on a formal wizard's friendship, and on his future!

The speed of a seventh-level warrior is not fast, but in Mark's opinion, it is definitely not slow. When he came to Uthermore, where did Mark dare to hesitate, using his still rusty long sword to stab him in the left eye.

But at this time, Uthermore's five senses were gone, and he didn't feel Mark's arrival at all, and this time Mark used all his strength, and the long sword was directly inserted into his brain through the most fragile eye socket of the human body.

The incantation stopped abruptly, but Uthermore was not dead, and he reached out and grabbed Mark by the shoulder, which scared Mark to death, and he struggled desperately to no avail. Just when he thought he was dead, he heard Uthermore shout sharply:

"I hate! I hate it! Give me another ten years, and I will definitely be able to advance again, and then I will be able to perform the Blood Escape Dafa. I hateβ€”"

As he spoke, he threw his head back and did not move. Mark kicked him a few times and found that he seemed to be really dead, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to Gruson's side, and it took a lot of effort to release him from the net.

Grusen got up and straightened his robe, calmly looking at Uthermore on the ground:

"I still underestimate this person! Talent, perseverance, forbearance are not lacking, these organs are extremely secretive, even I didn't find out under my carelessness, decisive killing, heroic posture, but unfortunately went astray, if you learn witchcraft well, maybe you are a powerful wizard!"

As he spoke, Grusen waved his hand, and a black light flew out in an instant, slashing off Uthermore's head. Then he took out a wooden box out of nowhere, put the head in it, and put it away.

After doing this, Grusen glanced at Mark and said, "You are very skilled at killing people with a knife." ”

This sentence made Mark break out in a cold sweat, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

"But in the end, it didn't disappoint me, and I didn't hesitate when I started, well, it's a good seedling! I like you a little bit more and more.

Grusen flew to the entrance of the hall and stopped, suddenly turned his head and said, "There seems to be a strange mental fluctuation from your body just now. ”

Mark's heart tightened, but fortunately, after Youquan left, he had already figured out how to answer, and with a light cough, Mark replied: "Back to Lord Grusson, it should have been my own mental power fluctuation just now, but I adjusted the fluctuation frequency." Look, isn't that so?"

Mark imitated a few fluctuations of Youquan's spiritual power, and sure enough, it was similar to the fluctuation just now.

"Huh?" Gruson glanced at Mark in surprise: "Adjusting the frequency of mental power fluctuations Even if I studied for three years under the guidance of my teacher, I mastered it, and you didn't learn it yourself......"

Speaking of this, Grusen paused and thought for a while: "I have a talisman here, I can use my mental power to activate and release it when there is danger, and it can save your life at a critical time." ”

As he spoke, a thin piece of rune paper appeared in Grusson's hand, and with a slight wave, it flew diagonally towards Mark.

"Thank you, Lord Grusson!" Mark said, putting away the rune paper, secretly happy. Now I finally have a life-saving thing.

"There are some things here that may be a bit of a bit of a problem for me, but they might be of some use to you, so take them if you like. ”

"Yes, sir!"

When Mark looked up again, he found that Gruson had gone without knowing when. Looking at the hell around him, he patted his head, there was still a lot to do!

Following the clues provided by the Spring, Mark found the stone chamber where Uthermore stored his things, there were not many things here, the most conspicuous thing was an ancient parchment on the middle shelf, a blue stone, and two thin pamphlets.

This blue stone should be the sapphire that Bagron mentioned earlier. But Mark felt a sense of mental power from it. This is actually the main material for refining spiritual power elixirs, spiritual power stones. Mark couldn't figure out why Wizard Grusen hadn't taken it, and he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't found Mark.

Shaking his head, Mark didn't think too much about it, he opened the baggage on his body and put the parchment and sapphire into it, and then began to look through the two booklets, these two booklets are actually two exercises, one is called "Tiger Fist", which should be the family heirloom of the Bond family, and the next one is called "Dragon Fist".

Seeing this name, Mark was shocked, isn't this the lost exercise of the Sai'an family? That incident back then was really done by Uthermore! What a vicious person! Thinking about the fate of him now becoming a dark wizard, Mark can only say one thing: He deserves it!

As for the rest, it was useless, and Mark ignored it.

Then he opened a small door in the corner of the underground hall. Under the dim light, more than a hundred boys and girls were crowded into a small stone room in the small door. The smell almost smoked out of Mark's breakfast.

It took all his best efforts to coax this group of frightened boys and girls out. Trembling when they came out, everyone was shocked when they saw the dead Uthermore, and some of them rushed up like chickens, using their hands, feet and teeth together until Uthermore's body was dismembered into pieces.

In just three days, an astonishing piece of news spread throughout the Kingdom of Antah. Prime Minister Uthermore brutally killed thousands of children in the course of more than ten years in order to cultivate evil skills. In order to appease the anger of the people, King Anta announced that all men over the age of ten in the Bond family would be hanged. More than 100 rescued children were returned to their homes.

Of course, many of these children have been orphaned, such as the two who have been with Mark.

Looking at the stubborn two in front of him, Mark licked his lips, which were already about to peel off. Of the more than 100 children he rescued, only these two were still haunting him with dead faces. And these two people are the only two remaining bloodlines of the Brighton family that was wiped out half a year ago, the sixteen-year-old grandson Thorne, and the fifteen-year-old granddaughter Sophia.

Today is also the last night of Mark's stay in the Kingdom of Antah, and tomorrow he will follow Grusen to the Kingdom of Shelley with two other children with wizarding qualifications.

"Master Mark, if you don't take us, the enemies of the Brighton family will not let us go. Take us!We are willing to be your followers, even slaves, and follow you forever!" Thorne and Sophia both knelt in front of Mark, making Mark anxious and annoyed. I don't know what will happen to me in the future, how can I accept two more followers?

Looking at these two helpless orphans who were slightly younger than himself, Mark's heart softened again, and said: "If you want me to take you in, it's okay, but I can't take you away now, I'll let the tower take you back to my house, with my mother and sister at home, help me take care of them." ”

"Really?!" Thorne's immature face was surprised, as an old nobleman, although Thorne is still young, he is very smart, without the support of the family, once their brother and sister live on the street, the end will be very miserable, especially the younger sister, falling into the dust is almost an inevitable end, once a top aristocratic lady falls into the dust, many people will come to taste it.

The others Thorne didn't know, but the would-be wizard in front of him who was about to go to the Gray Tower to study must be a good master. And their brother and sister are desperate now, which of those nobles who want to adopt them these days is not a lustful fan looking at their sister?

"By the way, you've been paying attention to the public executions of the Bond family lately, do you know how those women of the Bond family are handled?"

"I know!" Thorne hurriedly said: "Those women have been sold to the red light districts of major cities, but I heard that one of them is a woman named Youruo who has disappeared, and someone saw her embark on a passenger ship to the main continent half a month before the incident and left Sumen Island!

"Oh, gone?" Mark nodded thoughtfully, with her proud nature, it was really possible that she would not be able to marry into the royal family. What an ambitious woman! I don't know where she will end up.

That night, Mark entrusted Thorne and Sophia to the tower, and when he told the two of them alone, he passed on the first two layers of "Accepting the Spirit" and "The Return of the Battle Spirit" to them. Mark didn't think too much about it when he passed on the gong, but he just felt that he gave the Brighton family's "Talon Gong" to the iron tower, and he always felt that he couldn't go, and he had to compensate others a little. Besides, if you have the strength, you can better protect your mother and sister. However, Mark didn't expect that just because of such a simple pass, two immortal legends on this continent would be created.

The next day, Grusen took Mark and two other excited apprentices to the wizard aboard the gigantic bat and flew towards the kingdom of Shelley. There was plenty of space on the bat's back, and Mark sat quietly admiring the scenery below, and it was the first time he had overlooked the earth from such a high place.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Botian. ”

A rough voice came from his ear, and Mark didn't have to turn his head to see that it was the stout young man with five big and three thick, spiritual power 2, the son of the general of the Anta Kingdom, and the reason why Mark noticed him was that he actually had a name similar to his previous life. After these days, Mark also learned that those who are eligible to arrange for their nephews to participate in the selection of wizards of the Gray Tower must have at least the title of earl or above.

"Hello, Mark!"

"It is said that our group is the largest in a hundred years, and the Kingdom of Anta has not been selected for sixty consecutive years. ”

"Oh?" Mark was stunned, and asked what he had been wondering about, "Why don't you choose from among the civilians?"

"Civilians?" Zhou Botian laughed and patted Mark on the shoulder, "Frankly tell you, the chance of spiritual power being born among nobles is hundreds of times higher than that of commoners. It has to do with genes and nurture of nurture the day after birth. ”

"And for wizards, their time is precious, so they don't have so much energy to test every civilian!" A crisp voice came from the side, smiling at Mark, she was the only girl among the three, named Milley, and the youngest was only 12 years old. The spiritual power is only 1, she looks a little delicate, but also a little shy, and she is the daughter of a city lord in the Anta Kingdom.

"Hey, listen to my father, once we become official wizards, we will be developed! Don't say anything about the Kingdom of Anta, even the emperors of the Bruding Empire will be polite when they see us. Hey!" Zhou Botian smiled and was completely immersed in his own imaginary world. A pair of eyes that were already small left only a tiny slit that could not be detected.

"It seems that I heard that it is difficult to become an official wizard, and in the entire Sumen Island, where the Kingdom of Anta and the Kingdom of Shelley are located, I don't know how many people have been selected into the Gray Tower, but I have never heard of an official wizard. Milley said with a frown.

"It's hard to be challenging! If it's too easy, it's boring!"

Listening to the chat between the two of them, Mark quietly did not speak, he learned a lot from the conversation between Zhou Botian and Milai, and some knowledge that only the great nobles knew also opened Mark's eyes. It turned out that Sumat Island was just a small island under the name of the Brudinian Empire. The legendary main continent is huge, with countless huge empires similar to the Brudin's Empire in it. It is also filled with many wizard towers. The Grey Tower of Liberis is one of them. It dominates the southeastern part of the continent. As for the more specific information, the two of them are not clear.

The giant bat was flying rapidly in the air, and suddenly Gruson, who had been sitting, stood up with a "whoosh", Mark felt his mental power fluctuate violently, and suddenly slapped his palm on the wooden seat under his feet, directly smashing the sturdy seat into pieces. Frightened, the three of them hurriedly hid far away, for fear of harming the pond fish.

"Don't be afraid. Grusen suddenly laughed when he saw Mark and the others, "It's not a big deal, but it looks like our trip is going to be shortened." ”

It took three months to travel from the capital of Anta to King Shelley in the fastest carriage, while Mark and the others took less than half a day. When Mark jumped off the bat at noon, he couldn't believe that he was thousands of kilometers away from the capital of Antah. This is simply faster than the planes of the previous life, it is unimaginable.

This time, Grusen landed directly on the square in front of the palace of the Shelley Kingdom, according to his original arrangement, he needed to stay in the Shelley Kingdom for three days, but it seems that because of a message received before, Gruson accelerated the process, and this afternoon he will complete all the children who should be tested, and rush back to the Gray Tower overnight.

The king of the Shelley Kingdom was a middle-aged man in his forties, and of course he did not dare to disobey Grusen's request, in fact, almost all the children who were eligible to take the test were already waiting in the royal capital.

Mark was amazed by the first girl to come forward for the test, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, wearing a white dress made of light gauze, and her long brown hair was pulled up in a palace-like bun. The snow-white neck is like a proud swan. What is rare is that there is not the slightest look of pride on his face, looking at Mark and the others with a friendly smile on their faces. A pair of beautiful big eyes full of gentleness, sweetness and joy. It made Mark's mood suddenly become very good. It seems that studying with such a girl in a wizarding academy should be a very pleasant thing.

"Hello, Wizard, my name is Linda, can I start?"

"Put your hand on the crystal ball. Grusen said with his mouth as he touched the crystal ball suspended in the air next to him.

Linda was slightly nervous, she stretched out her right hand and grabbed the crystal ball tightly, looking at Grusen with a blank look in her eyes. Waiting for the verdict.

"Mental power 4, wood affinity 78%, wind affinity 65%, pass. Gruson raised his head slightly and glanced at Linda more, except for Mark, this Linda can be regarded as another surprise this time.

"Really, Oye!" Linda was so excited that she collapsed and collapsed. Walked quickly behind Grusen and came to Mark and the others.

"Hello, my name is Linda, Linda Shelley. Nice to meet you guys!"

"Hello, Mark. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Zhou Botian. ”

"Milley. ”

β€œ......”

After some exchanges, I learned that Linda was the princess of the Shelley Kingdom and the youngest daughter of King Shelley. But for wizards, none of this matters, what matters is Linda's talent. Mark looked at her in a daze, and was amazed in his heart, he knew what his qualifications were, he was simply a garbage talent with 0 spiritual power and 0 elemental affinity, and he was able to use the memories of his previous life to cheat when he was standing here now.

"Mental power 0, not passed. ”

"Mental power 0, not passed. ”

β€œ......”

Looking at the aristocratic young men who came with hope and walked away in despair, the few people standing behind Grusen suddenly felt how lucky they were, and Zhou Botian held his head high.

The afternoon passed quickly, and for the whole afternoon, except for Linda, the Shelley Kingdom did not find anyone with spiritual powers. Grusen frowned as he looked at the long line, which had not diminished. Suddenly, he reached out and put away the crystal ball. Low Voice:

"For some reason, this wizard apprentice selection has ended here, and the rest can be dispersed. ”

"What? We haven't tested it yet!"

"I've been waiting for this opportunity for ten years, you can't give up on us like that!"

The order of the scene immediately became chaotic, and some nobles who stood respectfully to the side stepped forward to intercede.

"Well?!" A low shout with spiritual power instantly spread throughout the audience, and many people subconsciously covered their ears when they heard this voice, and they were in pain.

"I'm up to me here, I'm going to stop here, that's it. Grusen flicked his robe, picked up Mark and the other four and flew directly out of the hall, quickly summoned the giant bat flying machine, flew into the sky in the blink of an eye, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

In the air, Linda covered her face and cried, she never expected that she didn't even have time to say goodbye to her parents, she had to look at Grusen from afar, and she didn't dare to step forward to say anything. The pain in my heart turned into tear after tear.

"Don't be sad, Linda, you'll be back when you become an official wizard. Mark walked up to Linda and persuaded.

"Wow-" Linda hugged Mark and cried, not to say that it was okay, but it was counterproductive, Mark opened his hand with a headache, and hugged Linda who hugged him, and it was not to hug him.
