Chapter 21: The Witch

“…… Which side is the monster? Gustan, who stood on the makeshift defensive structure of Rentim, let out a subtle thought.

The ninja sent out to reconnoiter in the village reported that the [witch with a scythe was cultivating the night seed], as the patriarch, he led the fighters in the village to hunt the witch, but found that the witch was very slippery in recovering magic, and she couldn't kill the other party with all her strength, so she had to choose to retreat.

The witch took revenge not the next day, and on the same day, she led the night seed army to march to Rentim, and when the soldiers approached the city, he finally remembered to smash the magic stone ring left by Lyle, and Lyle and his party immediately teleported over.

To be honest, he didn't have any expectations for this support army, but his sister told him to do so, but the subsequent development stunned everyone, including him, - Lyle flew out of the village alone, kept throwing fireballs, and wiped out the witch and the army of night seeds.

"Did you say anything earlier, Gustin?" Fran, who heard her brother's self-talk, didn't have the slightest smile on her face.

"Uh......" Gustan was still just a child who was afraid of his sister, and immediately flinched at the slightest bluff, "I mean, I should organize my people to learn magic." ”

Fran let go of her brother and nodded slowly, "That's true...... But magic depends on talent, and it is not possible to reach the level of a young master through hard work, so you must be mentally prepared for nothing. ”

She has a lot to say about this, in the past she has instructed Lyle to train her in ninja physical arts, and Lyle has also instructed her in magic, but neither of them has learned the skills of the other.

"Nature, nature!" Gustan nodded hurriedly.

(Hum) Lyle flashed to the rear of the fortifications.

"Young master, it's hard work." Fran jumps off the obstacle and pulls out a wet towel from the piggy bank to wipe Lyle's sweat.

"............" used to hate seeing his sister's humble actions, but this time he didn't feel so uncomfortable.

It is much more reasonable to be loyal to the strong than to the waste, especially since the strong man seems to be a benevolent ruler who loves his people.

Qilia's gaze retracted from the battlefield, carefully examined Lyle's face, and found that there was a bit of a sickly pale, and couldn't help but say, "Hasn't the fatigue of the battle with the Giant King been completely eliminated?" ”

“???” The ninjas around him knew that Lyle was not at his best.

"The recovery is slower than expected, and it may take a week to hang out at home." Lyle knew nothing about fatigue and recovery on the soul level, and had no previous research results to refer to, so he could only guess by his own feelings," ...... Of course, if you and Fran were to take care of it day and night, it might only take half the time. ”

Ida is a mess and can only be a mascot.

Kilia turned her head and said coldly, "Anyway, you're very idle now, just a week." ”

Lyle smiled, they had been sleeping together for several days, and Kiria had come to the bowl early, but they were thin-skinned, so it was not good to continue to make trouble, so they got back to business: "Gustan, the corpse of the night seed will be weathered rapidly, and it needs to be dealt with carefully, please lead the way to the cultivation base of the night seed." ”

"Uh, Master Lyle, don't you need to take a break?" Gustan cautiously glanced at his sister's expression and hesitated.

"Honestly, I want to lie down and sleep right now." Lyle said very sincerely, "But the appearance of the surface breeding base of the night seed means that Didos plans to use the night seed army to conquer the world after the resurrection, and if he does not clear it immediately, he may be transferred away." In addition, the technology to quickly create an army with the power of magic is too dangerous, and I am worried that it will fall into the hands of someone who cares. ”

There is no limit to who or which forces it is, it can only be said that there is a large group of teachers and students in the academy who will be interested in this technology, and there are too few magicians like him who have three views and never touch the field of 'artificial life'.

Muscular and simple-minded Gustan blinked: "Yes, is that so?" ”

Lyle rubbed his temples, helpless at such an innocent patriarch, and didn't know what the butler's reasons were for passing on the throne to Gustin," ...... I'll give you another magic stone ring, but I shouldn't use it again, and I'll stay on the ground after that. ”

"Finished exploring the ruins? What about these night species...... "Gustan doesn't want monsters to appear in his people's habitat all the time.

"Here's the turn of the Child of Prophecy." Lyle didn't know the news of Ban's disappearance for the time being, and only thought about handing over the secret stone in his hand to the other party, "...... I hope he can finish it all well. ”

》》》》》》》

Heading east along Rentim, a trail runs north and south through the rocky hills, winding through the mountains to a hidden valley ruins. From a recently excavated cave at the bottom of the valley, you can reach a ruins of the same architectural style as the underground palace, where the base for cultivating the night seed is located.

After investigation, there is a large stone mill in the cultivation base, no matter what kind of animal carcasses are thrown into it, flesh, hair, bones, and internal organs are all ground into a viscous sauce, and then the night seed responsible for breeding is transported to the cultivation pool in a barrel containing sauce, and it is estimated that in the end, it will take the witch to cast some kind of magic to quickly cultivate the night seed.

[The cultivation of the night seed requires the flesh and blood of creatures] is an important piece of information, even if everything in the county of Holm is out of control, the people outside can control the size of the night seed army through this information.

Another valuable piece of information in the cultivation base is an ancient text written on the wall by the witch with her blood - "Agdiu is coming", implying that after taking Ban's body, Didos will not only lead the army of night seeds to regain domination of the world, but he will also summon something that can symbolize the ancient country of 'Agdiu', such as the entire capital.

At this point in the exploration, Lyle used fireball to blow up everything that should be blown up, and then used earthquake to collapse the entire cultivation base to prevent another demon from appearing one day to reactivate the ruins.

"Speaking of which," said Lyle as they returned to the valley as they cleared up the trouble, Lyle patting the dust off his hands, "I've investigated the ins and outs of the incident, but I don't have an ally with whom I can share information." ”

Gustan, who didn't know the situation, wondered: "Isn't His Highness Teoro okay?" Or ......"

“…… First of all, I don't have the intention of rebelling. Lyle rolled his eyes, he knew what Gustan was guessing, after all, he had such combat ability, and he did have the ability to rebel, "I just recognize Teoro's ability as the son of the Grand Duke, and this information falls into his hands, and there is a possibility that the idea of 'we are going to use ancient magic to conquer the world' may arise." ”

In a sense, this idea is not a problem, provided that you really understand the ancient magic, and it is very easy to overturn if you don't understand it.

"There are a lot of weirdos in the Academy of Magic, and they are not reliable...... can only continue to wait and see, or fight alone to the end......" Recommended reading: "Reading File 2013"
