【Chapter 41】A Lonely Journey

Previous Chapter

"What a Dawn Crusade, today I want to see what you are capable of being presumptuous here!"

With a sneer on the corner of Rare's mouth, he came to the ice cage and scorned Izzy and the others. Cedric walked briskly over to Rare, bowed and smiled, "I'm sorry, beauty, I was so offended before..."

"Hmph, I used to always praise me for being a beauty."

Cedric smiled a little embarrassedly, and looked back to see that Kelly was despising himself nonchalantly, Cedric glared at Kelly, and that look immediately made Kelly laugh, "Kelly, you and this are both beauties, but the level is different, you are considered a beauty in humans, and she is also a beauty in other kinds, think about it..."

Before Cedric finished speaking, Ryll suddenly burst into a rage, "Death is on the verge of death, and you dare to joke!" After Ryle finished speaking, a magic wind blade came out of his hand and went straight to Cedric, Cedric hurriedly dodged, and Kelly behind him also hurriedly flashed to the side, and the wind blade almost stabbed Kelly "Cedric, you!" "I'm sorry, Kelly" At this time, the air rubbed and pierced again, and another wind blade struck, and Cedric, who was already holding the sword in his hand, quickly blocked the wind blade.

"Enough!"

Izzy shouted, and there was a sudden silence around him, and Riel slowly walked in front of Izzy with light steps, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, "Dawn Crusade leader, huh." Izzy looked at Riel with a cold eyebrow, and a murderous aura was released from his eyes, "Let us go, or once we break through this cage, we will definitely kill you all"

"......" Riel was really startled by the voice, but she immediately came back to her senses and sneered, "Hmph, you just wait for the master's judgment on you" She said as she turned and walked away, taking a few steps with a light step, and gradually disappeared into the air, "Ah, what kind of magic is this?" Cedric's eyes widened and almost fell out. At this time, Faennes next to him said calmly, "Stealth technique, don't you know?"

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it before" "It seems that this ruin is full of powerful people," Faense said as he sighed.

"Izzy!"

The side door of the hall suddenly opened, and Eddy ran in "Izzy..."Eddie came to the ice cage and stopped, she looked at Izzy, and then glanced at Yanna meaningfully, "Ms. Eddie, you are here" At this time, Cedric on the side stood in front of Eddy first, "Eddy, do you know how much risk we took to see you" "See me?" Eddy, since you left, we have been very uneasy, so we came here alone to find you" Eddie looked at Cedric as if it was the real thing, and couldn't help but smile "How do you know I'm here" "This..."Cedric hurriedly looked back at Itch, the words were all on this, and Izzy couldn't say anything, he was embarrassed and gently pushed Cedric away, and came to Eddy "Eddy, before... I'm sorry... But how did you get here?" "This ......"

Since Eddie left before the decisive battle on the plains, his heart has been turbulent, and all kinds of indescribable feelings have come to his heart, although he likes Izzy very much, but Izzy is always worried about Yanna, and even because of Yanna's affairs, Izzy is even more violent to her. Things have gotten to this point, and it seems that he can no longer exist by Izzy's side. She walked aimlessly, and at the same time her mind was deep in thought. As the sun set, its parting light at dusk became even more dazzling, and the sun shone through the distant ridge onto Edi's jade-like face. Now that the war between the black prince of Sapro and Izzy is about to break out, and the situation in various places is also very chaotic, Master Uganka told himself on his deathbed that he must not let the black prince die, but if he wants to lift the curse on the blood-red rune sword, he can only defeat the black prince with the help of external forces, so that he can have a chance, and now with the help of Izzy, this road will not work, and other forces will not be able to make a climate, it seems that he should find a place to settle down first, and see the situation. With these questions in mind, Aidi walked towards the Arcane Academy that had been in the Northern Realm.

Along the way, the decisive battle of the Izzy Plains was victorious, the Black Prince's three-way army was repulsed, and the news of gathering and destroying the wilderness mercenaries came one after another, in Aidi's opinion, this seemed to be not bad as he expected, if Izzy was defeated by the Black Prince, then Aidi would feel extremely guilty about his previous behavior. But on second thought, it seemed that whether Izzy had won or not had nothing to do with her. Although Aidi is a clever secret mage, after all, she is only a woman, and the emotions in her heart are always a little unrelieved. Aidi came to the northern realm alone, it was now a snowstorm, and she looked at a village in front of her, and it seemed that she could settle here first, but when she was about to reach the village, she faintly heard a noise. When she arrived at the village, she saw two soldiers in armor and leather coats robbing the villagers of their belongings. An old man fell to his knees at the soldier's feet, his trembling hands clutching the soldier's legs, and a little girl beside him was crying.

"Please, give me back the money, that's all I have... "In the face of the old man's pleading, the soldier didn't appreciate it, and kicked the old man to the ground, "I wondered, what are you asking for money" The old man got up slowly, covered his chest with his hands, and coughed twice, obviously because of the pain of being beaten by the soldier just now, but he still didn't give up, and crawled in front of the soldier "Child... I beg you, I need this money to feed my little granddaughter, you see she's so young..." I still need this money to support myself, hey? If you don't let go, are you looking for death?" another soldier stepped forward and interjected, "When will it be enough to feed you, this money will have to be ours."

"You get out of here, I'm the boss, I'm the boss, I have the final say"

"Fart, didn't I clean you up before"

"I said brother, just this money, we both have to drink a meal, how to divide it, but this old man is just this money" The soldier said and kicked the old man viciously.

"That's enough!

The Aidi next to him had been standing for a long time, and finally couldn't help but shout. Hearing the voice, several soldiers turned their heads one after another, and the soldier laughed evilly when he saw Aidi's beautiful face, turned around and kicked the old man away with a hard kick, and walked towards Aidi, "Sorry, ma'am, we are an invincible mercenary team here..."

The soldier recognized the love flute, screamed, and turned to run. Aidi raised it with one hand and grabbed it hard, and suddenly a magical force grabbed the soldier from a few meters away, and then another soldier saw this and immediately knelt on the ground, "Big... Archmage... spare your life".

Aidi threw his hand behind him, and the soldier who was caught fell to the ground, "Go! Give them back."

"It's... The soldier crawled to the old man, and hurriedly returned the money he had just plundered, and after handing it back, the soldier looked at Aidi stupidly, like a humble servant waiting for his master's order, "It's not enough, it's all back" "No... No... Really, I just took so much."

"I can't say enough!" Aidi snorted coldly, and the soldier shuddered, and the two of them dug into their pockets and put together a handful of money and handed it to the old man. Aidi came to the crying little girl, touched her head, and smiled gently, and then the old man hurriedly came to Aidi after collecting the money, "My lord, thank you very much...".

The old man was so grateful that he could barely speak, "Quickly take the money to buy her something delicious, go back and live a good life", "Dare to ask... What's your name?" Before Aidi could speak, the soldier next to him laughed and said, "This is Archmage Aidi..."

Before the soldier could finish speaking, he saw the expression on Aidi's face, and he didn't dare to continue. The old man was grateful for his kindness before leaving, Aidi turned his head and stared at the two brothers with horizontal eyebrows, and the soldier couldn't help but tremble when he saw Aidi's serious expression, "My lord...".

"Where are the ruins of the Mystic Academy?"

"Uh... Leave the village and walk a little further north. "You two take me there. ”

"It's... I can't go."

"What's not to go?"

"There was no one there, but a few months ago, a group of people from an unknown place moved in, each of them had spells, and they were all vicious, I guess this is a group of fugitive mystics, uh... It's not about adults" "What are they doing there?"

"I don't know, when we were there to search for relics, they broke in, and threatened us to leave, if he hadn't stopped me, I would have fought with them" As soon as the soldier's voice fell, another soldier immediately looked at him with contempt, "Just you still fight, pull down, you were so scared that you couldn't stand up, if I hadn't dragged you..."

"You..."Aidi shook her head and sighed, "You two take me there, I want to see what kind of mystic mage is"

"But..."

"But what, if you're afraid of them, aren't you afraid of me?" said that, a flame rose from Aidi's left hand, and the two of them were suddenly frightened, "Okay... Okay, I'll take you there...". When the soldier agreed, Aidi shook his hand and dispersed the magic, and the three of them went to the ruins of the Arcane Academy.

"My lord, here we are"

"This is the Academy of Secret Magic? I can't imagine this place is so desolate."

The three of them walked into the city gate, and Eddie looked around, the branch of the Mystic Academy that had been abandoned for decades was already in ruins, and the perennial heavy snow seemed to be about to freeze the fortress. Just as Edi's vision was about to go deeper into the academy, the air suddenly distorted, and Ariel suddenly appeared, and before Riel could speak, the frightened two soldiers crawled and fled, leaving Edi and standing there.

"What kind of person, dare to break into this place" Aidi stared at it, and saw that although Riel was short and golden, he looked like a little girl, but he was full of murderous spirit, and he could stealth magic, it can be seen that he is a powerful secret mage, thinking of this, Aidi naturally put his left hand behind him, and slowly accumulated cold light, "I am Aidi, who are you, what are you doing in this secret law academy"

"It's none of your business, hurry up and leave, otherwise..." Before Riel finished speaking, Aidi shouted angrily, quickly threw out his left hand, and a cold ice came out like lightning and went straight to Riel, Riel saw this and hurriedly flew away, teleporting away, but she didn't expect the ice to track down, she hurriedly danced with both hands, two wind blades shot at the cold ice, and the ice exploded instantly, and a round of cold light quickly exploded and spread, and Riel didn't have time to dodge, and the air wave suddenly froze Riel. Aidi sneered proudly, "Hehe, little girl, don't be so fierce in the future" Riel was frozen and couldn't move, so he could only look at Aidi viciously with his eyes.

Suddenly, a golden light shot straight in, Aidi heard the sound, quickly turned around and opened the barrier, the golden light exploded on the barrier, knocking Aidi back a few steps before stopping, Aidi looked up, only to see an old man, holding a delicate and gorgeous staff in his hand, and dozens of black-clothed people stood behind him.

"Aidi, what's the matter here?" Aidi was stunned for a moment, wondering how he would know his name, "Senior, are you?"

The old man didn't answer immediately, but turned around and nodded to a man in black, the man in black walked down the steps, his hands quickly accumulated, and then patted Riel, the ice on Riel's body instantly melted, and Riel shook the ice fragments on his body, "Uganka once mentioned you to me, come with me"

Aidi followed the old man into the hall of the Secret Law Academy suspiciously, and he was pretending to be ten thousand careful.

"Aidi, I used to be a member of the Arcane Academy, I am Stonard" When Aidi heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately fell to his knees.

"It turns out that the predecessor is the master of the secret king, Master Stonard, and the student Aidi is more offended" Stonard slowly helped up the master of Aidi, why are you still here. ”

"Hehe..."

At that time, the Arcane King Stonard was middle-aged and was named the Arcane Academy Mentor, and co-led the Arcane Academy with Uganka, who suggested that Uganka send troops to the Northern Realm, and it was he who led the Arcane team to build this arcane academy branch. But unexpectedly, after the outbreak of the war in the northern realm, the white-haired Sitis led the army to die and not save him. The mystical mages of Stonard are exhausted from fighting the giants and have run out of mana.

Stonard had to make a cruel decision, he split the team of arcane mages in two, and decided to defend himself to cover part of the arcane mages to break through, but was dissuaded by the rest of the arcane mages, so he had to lead the troops to break through.

"Aidi, I regret it since I made that wrong decision, so I have been living in seclusion in this northern realm, not asking about the world, until one day these wandering mystical mages who were hunted down by the Black Prince will find me. ”

"Master, that mistake is not yours, it's all Citis's grudge against our Arcane Academy. ”

Stonard let out a long sigh and shook his head, "Alas... Forget it, since you're here too, stay here" Aidi nodded in agreement. For the next period of time, the Edi settled here.

Aidi told Izzy the truth, and at the same time reminded herself of many memories.

"The Apocalypse is..."

"The Apocalypse doesn't mean us, the Apocalypse was a secret organization a long time ago, earlier called the Apocalypse Foundation, recently I don't know why, Stonard has been doing things for the Apocalypse, and we have to hide our identities when we are outside, claiming to be the Apocalypse"

"Oh. Izzy paced back and forth, and after a moment, suddenly stopped and looked at Aidi, "Aidi, let us go first"

"No..."

Edi was about to refuse but accidentally looked directly into Izzy's eyes, and the clear face and eyes immediately shone deeply into Edi's heart, and it seemed that he would only make mistakes again and again because of "Okay, Izzy, don't come back if you go out of here, this place is more complicated than all of us imagined"

After speaking, Aidi took a few steps back, put on a posture and prepared to cast a spell, and soon, Aidi's hands had accumulated a very powerful magical power, and at this time, she quickly hit the magic towards the huge ice cage, and the ice cage was broken at the touch.

"Thank you, Aidi, come with us" As soon as the ice cage was lifted, Izzy hurriedly ran to Aidi's hand and grabbed Aidi's hand, which immediately made Aidi hesitate, she looked up and saw the people behind Izzy, especially Yanna, Yanna also noticed that Aidi was looking at herself, Yanna understood that it was of course good for Aidi to join her camp, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and she couldn't say what it felt in her heart.

"No, let's go. Here's my mission," Eddie sternly rejected Izzy, shook it off hard, and turned back to the door.

After Eddie left, only Izzy was left standing there stupidly, Cedric ran over and said, "Boss, let's go quickly" Izzy didn't answer, just lowered his head and pondered, at this time Tiara snorted coldly, and didn't care if Yanna was not there and said, "What, can't bear to be beautiful?"

Hearing this, Yanna was a little stunned, and really wanted to turn around and leave, at this time, Afra approached Yanna and whispered to Yanna, "Don't pay attention to them, none of them are serious" This made Cedric a little anxious, "What's the matter, boss, you can say something quickly, what if we are trapped again in a while?" Izzy raised his head and looked around, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "Today, we won't leave ......."

After leaving the hall, Eddie went directly to Stonerd's residence, and along the way, he frowned and pondered, and entered Stoneard's room in a nervous mood. As soon as he entered the house, Eddie fell to his knees in front of Stoner, who was flipping through a book, and without raising his head, he said, "Get up."

"Master, I'm sorry for you"

"It's okay, you let them go just to clear the venue for me" Aidi was startled and slowly stood up, "Master, you know everything"

"Hmm"

Stoneard still flipped through the books quickly, staring at them from time to time, perhaps because of his age, his eyes were a little bad.

"Master, how do you know I'm going to let them go secretly" Stoneard closed the heavy book and laughed "Silly girl, don't I know you well enough"

Aidi was secretly happy in his heart, but his face became very serious, and he hugged his hands "Then please master punish me" Stoneard stood up and patted Aidi's shoulder, "Forget it, if you don't let them go, I will also drive them away, why don't you give them personal favors, a few days ago there was a letter saying that the consortium will send someone here today." ”

"Master, why do we have to listen to the command of the consortium".

"Hehe, our future path will require the ...... of the Apocalypse Consortium" (to be continued.) )
