The team had been walking in the long moonlit trail for nearly 20 minutes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The silence and silence spread by the darkness also made everyone's mood more and more anxious and heavy. Everyone was silent, with dead faces.

For some reason, Lance always felt foggy around him. It was as if there were countless pale white mist, flowing like a tumbling stream. But if you look closely, you find that it is still the same as before, as if this fog is a kind of consciousness and has no physical presence.

"Ronnie, do you feel the fog around you?"

Loxani hid in her backpack, her faint blue eyes looking around through the gaps in her backpack, and whispered, "It's this fog that gives me a huge sense of depression and makes me breathless." Lance, we really can't go any further. ”

The "bald knight" old Tullius on the side rolled his eyes and sneered: "You have begun to shake the morale of the army again." Let's ignore you, and you're still laughing at yourself. There is no end. ”

Princess Eve glared back, "Can you two change the subject and argue?"

At this moment, suddenly the queue stopped, and it seemed that there was also a commotion ahead. Andrei, who was leading the way at the front of the queue, suddenly shouted:

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please come here!"

"What's wrong?" As soon as Eve turned her head, she saw a large oval sphere of white insect cocoons blocking the wide, narrow passage that was already just over 4 meters.

Its thick walls of cocoons resemble a well-woven blanket, enveloping the unknown inside. This giant cocoon was like an abrupt roadblock, and Lance always felt that it was very discordant to be placed here.

"There wasn't a cocoon yesterday. This is an unexpected situation...... Princess, us?" General Joseph looked at the white cocoon suspiciously, waiting for Princess Eve to give him orders.

Eve didn't answer, she just looked at everyone's equally confused faces, thinking.

"I guess we'd better go back today. Suddenly, Lance spoke in silence, and the original subtle voice of Lance was extremely clear and piercing at this moment, deafening:

"If it's the same as yesterday, I don't think it's okay to keep going. But in just one day, there has been a huge change that is different from yesterday, this situation. We'd better retreat and make another discussion. ”

"Bald Knight" Old Tulius sneered and said: "It seems that our Reims University scholars are cowardly again, and they are really useless scholars, waste." ”

But Lance didn't get angry because of this "waste", he just calmly and seriously persuaded: "I mean seriously, there are too many anomalies today. On the march, abnormality means fighting, and it is the enemy who is in the dark, we are in the light, the enemy knows me, and I do not know the state of the enemy. This situation, both from a military point of view and from a security point of view, warrants an immediate withdrawal of troops. ”

"Bald Knight" Old Tullius suddenly seemed to hear a joke, pointed at Lance and laughed: "Just you? A scholar is here to teach us the military principles of knights and generals? You don't weigh how many pounds and taels you weigh. ”

Lance glared at old Tulius and said, "I weigh 57 kilograms. ”

"You!" "Bald Knight" old Tullius was speechless for a moment.

Lance sighed helplessly and said, "Sir Turlius, I really don't want to fight with you. The current situation is absolutely not ordinary! Sometimes, even under the same conditions, things may turn out differently, let alone today's state of abnormal frequency. I hope that everyone will pay attention to it and stop underestimating the enemy. ”

Lance's heart was already anxious now, although he couldn't come up with any concrete evidence. But along the way, this oppressive feeling, the heavy air, the strange mist of consciousness and the huge insect cocoons that are now blocking the way are all warning to themselves.

"Cut, I'm afraid of a ghost! I don't believe it, yesterday was fine, can I still have something to do today? Isn't it just a broken insect cocoon? ”

"Don't!" Lance hurriedly stopped, but it was too late.

The "Bald Horseman" Old Tullius drew his one-handed sword. The polished blade of the sword, like a mirror, reflected a ray of moonlight, and with a "poof" sound, it slashed towards the cocoon, with deflated anger. The "Bald Knight" old Tullius wants this scholar to know what it means to be fearless as a warrior!

But when everyone thought that this white cocoon was going to be cut in two, something unexpected happened.

The one-handed sword of the "Bald Horseman" Tullius Sr. not only did not cut through the seemingly weak cocoon. Instead, it was like slashing a stone, making a crisp "bang" sound. And the most strange thing is that the one-handed sword of the "Bald Horseman" Old Tullius was not bounced off as usual, but as if it was glued to the surface of the white cocoon by a strong glue.

The "Bald Knight" old Tullius was surprised and tried to pull his one-handed sword off the white cocoon. But whether he uses the carrot pulling style, or the back pulling style, or the tug-of-war style. Unable to pull out their one-handed swords. It's like being one and the same.

"Hell!" "The Bald Horseman" Old Turius gave up and let go, panting, "What the is this?

"I don't believe it anymore! it must be that your green-grade sword is too weak. Look at my blue grade powerful one-handed sword. With a "big nose", George pushed through the crowd, drew his one-handed sword, and slashed it.

"George, don't!" Princess Eve just wanted to stop it, but the "big nose" George had already slashed down, but this blue-grade sword was useless. It is still strongly adsorbed to the surface of the white insect cocoon.

It looks like a cocoon that is as soft as water and crumbles when it is chopped, but it is as hard as a stone and as sticky as a spider web. The inconsistency between the appearance and the interior, the fusion of contradiction and otherworldly law, made Lance and Roxani think of only one thing.

"Magic!"

Lance and Roxani shouted in unison.

Hearing this answer, the knights all gasped.

Perhaps Lance, as a person who had a fight with magic as soon as he woke up, and even used magic once, naturally felt that magic was not unusual. And Loxani, as a dragon, is a powerful magical creature conceived by the creator god Venian using divine power. For magic, it is already a part of the body.

But the knights are different, and it can even be said that any creature on the continent, even the elves who believe in the truth, they can use magic are very rare.

More than 3,000 years ago, after the War of the Creation Gods. With one of the four great creation gods, the goddess of will, Sophia, led the Hanxia people to escape to the Hanxia continent, and used the creation divine power to cast the endless peak and the eternal Great Wall, after blocking the Hanxia continent. With the departure of the God of Creation of Spirit and Will, magic gradually declined in the Western Continent.

However, at the beginning of the Second Age, Sophia, the creator god of will, did not want the power of wisdom and magic to disappear in the north of Norton and the west of Vignante. So after she left, she transformed her Creator Crown, the three most brilliant gems in the Crown of Will, into the three goddesses of logic, technology, and wisdom, and asked them to stay in the west to teach magic, technology, and wisdom.

With the arrival of the three goddesses of wisdom, humans, dwarves and elves, the three most important races in the world at the time, began their choice. In the end, mankind chose Suni, the goddess of logic, as her first mentor, Susa, the goddess of technology, as her second mentor, and Suna, the goddess of wisdom, as her third mentor.

This order of learning makes human beings the most logical and the most able to learn and imitate among the three races, and science and technology are not too backward, but at the same time, they are also the most morally corrupt race. Human greed, cruelty, selfishness, and intrigue are far removed from the other two races.

In addition, humans are originally creatures created by the two creator gods, Venian, the goddess of all things, and Sophia, the goddess of will, which makes humans more compatible with magic. As for the other races, the dwarves prefer science and technology to magic. As for the elves, they used this powerful power cautiously and carefully under the teachings of the elves' first mentor, Suna, the goddess of wisdom. And the elves' ability to apply magic is not as strong as that of humans.

Gradually, humans began to abuse magic and do evil. This point disappointed Suni, the goddess of logic.

So she relentlessly and asked Odenon, the god of order and law, the head of the 12 gods of mankind, to cleanse the magic of mankind. And Oldnon was not used to seeing humans abuse magic, despise the gods, and wantonly destroy the order of the world.

And so the first Purges began. Countless magicians were executed and exiled. Although many of them were wronged and good magicians were killed. But Suni, the goddess of logic, believes that the price is worth it. In fact, the effect is also obvious. Eventually, under the brutal cleansing of Iron Will, the abuse of magic in the human world was curbed.

And Suni, the goddess of logic, only retains a place for learning magic in the human world, that is, the Iris Magic Academy of the Magical Kingdom of Mihirington. And Suni, the goddess of logic, has formulated detailed criteria for selecting magical apprentices, and the selection of virtue far exceeds that of magical talent. To this day, at the door of the Iris Magic Academy, there is still a piece of the words engraved by the goddess of logic, Suna: "You should be in awe and vigilant against every powerful force. ”

At the same time, the Magical Kingdom of Mihirington has also been given a duty to purge any magicians who dare to abuse magic. Later, the three goddesses of wisdom disappeared, and they were never seen again.

After more than 2,000 years of continuous purges, and the source of magic, Sophia, the goddess of will, has been away from the Western Continent for more and more time. Humanity's ability and talent for magic are diminishing.

Until now, magic has become a luxury for human beings.

In this world, except for the vast number of necromancers who use the evil magic of the demon god Craig. The only humans who use the orthodox magic of Sophia, the god of will, are the mages of Mihirington, and some apprentices of Mihirington's officially authorized magic preparatory schools in various countries.

At present, only 7,000 people are registered who can use magic. And most of them are C-level micro-magicians and C-level magic apprentices, and there are currently only more than 900 mages who have graduated from Iris Academy and reached C+ level, not to mention higher-level mages and archmagists.

Perhaps there are 18 warriors who have reached the A-tier combat power rating. But now, there are no more magicians who have reached the A-level magic rating, and there are no humans.

Even Zeber Elister, the chief archmage and dean of the Magical School of the Misillington Wizarding Nation, is only at the A-level level, and only two people have reached the A-level magic rating so far. However, the chief archmage of the A-rank still has no choice against the warriors of the A-rank combat power, after all, there are too many advantages in magic.

So now magic has basically faded out of people's sight, and the vast majority of humans, even noble lords, will never see magic once in their lives. It would be an extremely honorable thing to invite a court mage, even if it was just a C+ rank mage. And a large number of people who want to further learn and improve their magic are eliminated by the strict selection system of the Mihirington Iris School of Magic.

This is why in prison, the Duke of Aceh was surprised to see Loxani using dragon magic.

This was already a time when magic was dying, and it was also a time when magic was truly respected and revered. Whether faced with a magician or a magical creature, humans react like knights. Take a gasp.

And now, faced with a white cocoon formed by magic, the knights are naturally filled with awe and fear. The shudders brought about by the mystery and unknown of this magic began to erode them.

At this moment, these knights realized that they were really in such an eerie and terrifying ghostly path. The previous self-confidence was completely washed away by the "magic" of Lance, the "scholar of Michlington" friend of Princess Eve.

General Andrei, who has always been calm, also had a trembling voice in his voice at this time, looked around cautiously and asked:

"Scholar Lance, aren't you from Misherington, and although you are a scholar, not a mage, I would like to take the liberty of asking, do you know magic?"

Lance shook his head, he even had the title of scholar fake, let alone the dark magic he had only accidentally used once.

Eve looked at the white cocoon in front of her, and there was nothing she could do, she said disappointedly, "Okay then, let's retreat." Otherwise. ”

"I think it'...... too"

The knights began to chim.

But at this moment, the voice of the "Rooster God" Perry Knight drawing his sword at the back of the line came: "I think it's better for us to keep going." ”

"Why?"

As soon as everyone turned their heads, they understood what Knight Perry meant. Behind them, there was no way back, and instead there were dense black figures, and countless pairs of eyes glowing orange, shining like stars in the sky.
