Chapter 123: The Dark Knight

"Scott, that's a familiar name. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Alexia thought with a frown.

"Scott Mitchelson, the earth-based archmage and the founder of modern magic, was born and died between 603 and 825 in the imperial calendar. Karl said to Alexia, "Maybe you don't know his name well, but he has a student's name that you must be familiar with." ”

"Who?" Alexia asked rhetorically.

"Derek Douglas. Karl said, "Lord of Sky City, Speaker of the Magic Council. As a young man, Douglas studied with many contemporary masters, and Grand Magister Scott was one of them. ”

"This was once the Master's research base?" Alexia asked with interest.

"It should be his mage tower. Carl crossed his ten fingers, and the sheepskin scroll naturally floated in mid-air, "Although the mage tower is said to be a tower, the mage tower of different attributes of the mage is different, and even the mage tower of the same attribute may be strange, and it is relatively normal for a mage tower like Master Scott to be built underground." ”

"Mage Tower......" Alexia muttered to herself.

"That's right, a mage tower often combines all the functions that a mage needs, including an ample source of energy in addition to the living area - the energy part of this mage tower should be a huge leyline drawing circle, a laboratory with a stable environment, a large mage tower and even a material base - such as a teleportation circle connected to a half-plane. Karl introduced Alexia to him.

"Then let's go in and have a look. Alexia urged.

Carl pulled the excited girl: "Wait a minute. ”

"What's wrong again?"

"The first layer is just a camouflage layer, and the second layer is really inside the mage tower, and there may be a lot of danger inside, because Master Scott understands very well that if you want to get the work he has worked so hard to complete, you must go through the test. Karl took the map and looked at it, "Master Scott has given two routes that lead to the third floor. ”

"Which two?" Alexia leaned over as well.

"The first is the Golem Passage. Karl pointed to a road marked with red lines, "The entrance to this road is the northwest corner of the first floor. ”

"What about the second one?" asked Alexia.

Carl moved his finger to the blue line on the lower left: "The second is the Wizard Path, and the entrance is in the southwest corner." ”

Alexia pondered for a moment.

"Why don't we separate. Karl proposed, "Obviously, the choice of these two paths represents force and knowledge, respectively, you go to the Golem Passage, and I go to the Wizard Path. ”

Alexia shook her head: "No, the most taboo in the expedition is to disperse rashly, so there will be a situation where rescue cannot be made, the time is still early, don't be too anxious, let's go together." ”

Carl weighed it and nodded: "You're right, I'm in a hurry." ”

Faced with the precious legacy left by a master of magic, even Carl was moved, and he was eager to know what it was like to create something that a master had spent thirty years of his life working on.

and even give an evaluation that is ahead of its time.

......

Thirty minutes of walking in a quiet labyrinth.

Carl had memorized the map and walked ahead to lead the way, and they chose to be the Golem Passage.

Alexia followed him, slashing down the occasional ghoul one by one.

"Go a hundred meters and turn right, and there's a magic secret door inside. Carl said as he walked, "I'll crack it." ”

"Hmm. Alexia nodded.

After continuing a few steps, Alexia reached out and grabbed Carl, "There's something ahead." ”

Karl paused, then said, "Did the necromancer leave it behind?" ”

"It should be. ”

The further he went, the more obvious the strangeness became, and even Carl could clearly feel that it seemed that the necromancer had left behind more than a simple thing.

Alexia had already stopped, drawing her twin swords.

"You are not welcome here. A hoarse voice came from the dark corner.

Then a humanoid undead with a pitch-black body came out of the darkness: "Now it's too late to retreat, human." ”

This is a dark knight, his whole body has been dyed black, he is carrying a large sword in his hand, full armor, even his head only leaks two points of blue-purple light, and his eyes are replaced by soul fire.

"When did the undead creatures be so polite. Alexia stared at the Dark Knight in front of her and said in a deep voice, "Your master is a murderer, so are you an accomplice?"

The Dark Knight let out a sneer, and his voice came through the crack in the fully covered helmet, "That stupid creature is worthy of being my master, I'm just doing it routinely, and since you want to die, I can fulfill you." ”

Alexia narrowed her eyes and slowly drew her twin swords.

The knight's spear in the Dark Knight's hand was crossed across his chest, and the dark fighting spirit like ink rose: "I'm Kozmo Cremans, are you ready to face death?"

"Alexia. The girl gave her name, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "You have too much nonsense, Dark Knight. ”

As soon as the words fell, Alexia had already attacked, quickly pulling the distance between the two from more than twenty meters away to less than three meters.

As the Dark Knight Kozmo took a step back, the knight's spear turned straight and pointed at Alexia, which would hit the tip of the spear if Alexia continued to rush forward.

The Dark Knight didn't attack, but this position alone made Alexia feel awkward, and she changed her forward stance, approaching Kozmo less than a meter in a sliding step, and slashed at the Dark Knight's legs with a half-crouching position.

Kozmo sneered, and the spear was retracted as Alexia attacked, and the dark vindictive spirit climbed up to the spear, and a shot shot towards Alexiaza.

Swapping a leg for the other's life, as an undead creature, never mind this kind of exchange.

Alexia's feet erupted with fighting spirit, and she forcibly jumped five meters backwards. The tip of Kozmo's spear landed on the ground, blasting out a large crater.

Alexia's face became serious, although the other party is a power-type knight, but the skill is very high, although he is fast, but Kozmo seems to be able to see through his movements, and every time he attacks and follows the action, he can't use it at all.

Although the opponent's strength of fighting qi was only in the middle of silver, it was much more dangerous than the very necromancer yesterday.

"Ho-ho, but that's it, human. The Dark Knight Kozmo said in a hoarse voice.

Alexia took a deep breath, the figure disappeared again, Kozmo casually raised his spear, Alexia's double swords slashed at the gun bar, making an earth-shattering loud noise, and the silver-white fighting qi and the dark fighting qi collided with each other and flew away.

"Nope. Kozmo scoffed, "Human, you can't break through my defenses. ”

As he spoke, he took a step forward, and the tip of the spear leaned forward, pressing against Alexia.

The Dark Knight took advantage of his height and pushed the spear down with force.

"Hmph!" Alexia gritted her silver teeth, but because of the difference in rank and strength, she was slowly pressed to the ground by Kozmo.

"Die. A bloodthirsty glint flashed in the Dark Knight's eyes, and the power in his hand suddenly increased, and the ground beneath Alexia's feet clicked like a spider's web.

Alexia clenched the hilt of her sword with both hands, a hint of realization crossed her crimson pupils.

In the three days of Tahamat, she conducted many actual battles in order to master the technique of choranging, but the Warcraft was too weak to even receive her regular attacks, and there was not enough pressure for her to understand.

But it just so happened that the Dark Knight was strong enough, but not so strong that she couldn't fight it.

The arm drove the wrist, the wrist drove the sword in the hand, Alexia twisted the two swords together, and the knight's spear that was pressed down was instantly brought to the side and smashed to the ground with a bang.

Alexia stepped on the spear with a silver-white kick, frustrating Kozmo's desire to retrieve it immediately, and the second foot also stepped on the spear, leaning forward and standing steadily on the spear.

A flash of light flashed, and Alexia landed behind the Dark Knight Kozmo, sheathing her sword.

The Dark Knight made a ho-ho sound, but this time it wasn't a mockery, but a compliment-

"Really...... A dazzling sword. ”

After saying a word, the tall, heavy body fell with a bang, and the helmeted head rolled to the side with a grunt.

......

As long as it sounds, Alexia's battle with the Dark Knight was won or lost in just a few minutes.

"You look in good shape. Karl laughed.

Alexia rolled her eyes, "Are you just watching the show on the sidelines?"

"That's right. Karl spread his hands, "If I intervene, even if I kill him, you will be unhappy, and you will have to stab me with a knife." ”

Alexia's breath stagnated, Karl was not wrong, she had just broken through, and if it weren't for the Dark Knight who had put enough pressure on her, she wouldn't have mastered a new basic swordsmanship right now.

And it's a defensive counter-attacking swordsmanship that is precious to her.

Alexia lifted her hands, which were shaking from overexertion, and lowered.

"Swordsmanship. Alexia walked over to Kozmo's corpse, "Maybe I should be grateful to the Dark Knight, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to master the art of sword twisting." Although he has degenerated into an undead and will spontaneously attack humans, he still retains a certain sanity and still upholds the spirit of a knight. ”

"Most of the Dark Knight aren't as talkative as this one. Karl shook his head, "This should be an upright knight who died in battle, and he has a great will, so he can still maintain self-awareness." The orthodox Dark Knights are a group of people who have abandoned their faith, who act as bandits in the name of knights, and naturally devote themselves to the darkness after death. ”
