Chapter 22: Monocles, the Prodigal Son's Return

Previous Chapter

readx; Dark magic - the most mysterious and difficult of all magic, its elemental properties are difficult to define, there are similar magic such as earth, fire, corrosion, curse, space, etc., so it can be said that there are very few humans who can be born with the compatibility of black magic and finally master. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition, there are also a lot of unpopular necromancy magic, puppet magic and curse magic in black magic, so for ordinary people, black magic always feels negative, so there are also rumors that the inheritance of black magic comes from the monsters of the abyss.

However, in fact, in the mage school, black magic is also studied as orthodox magic, and due to its broad coverage and variable controllability, those who can correctly master black magic are all the best among mages.

- "The Devil's Law?"

On the way back, the four of them encountered reinforcements from the Holy Demon and the Emperor who came together for some reason, and Lancelot first saw the twin knights and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when he saw Kaye's hair and Ilea behind Sain, he couldn't help frowning.

Guvostaff, on the other hand, was pale-faced, and immediately ran to the headquarters of Emperor Duan with his henchmen.

Such a night, which is no different from ordinary times for many people, but life-changing for some people, has passed like this, but at this time, no one thought that perhaps this night, from the perspective of history, is closely related to everyone, because perhaps the wheel of a new chapter starts from this night and slowly turns.

......

The night was getting darker, and on a small hill closest to Vala, a man in a black robe with a monocle pulled a pocket watch from his bosom. He looked at the time, as if disappointed. "It's been this time and I haven't come back, it seems that I have failed. Soon, however, a carefree smile bloomed on his face at the sight of a figure moving rapidly in the darkness.

"Instantly, you're back. I didn't expect you to encounter setbacks on the road of fate as well. ”

"I didn't make a move, thinking that the waste could be done. "Instantly", who looked a little thin and covered loosely in a black robe, replied, perhaps because her voice was too cold and made people feel a little neutral, but she could still hear that it was a female voice. "Pocket, fate does not let us encounter setbacks, the so-called setbacks are just the road arranged by fate, and the people who fail are just destined losers. You, who have always claimed to be pursuing the truth, don't you even understand this?"

Hearing the momentary rhetorical question, "Dou"'s eyes were bent. "Oh, I didn't expect you to have such an awareness... Not... But in my eyes, fate is not so simple, but then again, how could you not complete the mission?"

"There is an unexpected powerful force, if I really make a move, I guess I won't be able to come back... But now that the target's whereabouts are known, it's only a matter of time. ”

"Is it a force that even you can't resist? Then we might as well observe more, I don't like to make uncertain shots. Let's go gather some useful members, by the way... How about you go and post a quest for the Killer Society, it seems like you still have some connection there, right?"

In an instant, his eyes were cold, his thin body suddenly burst out, a dark light flashed in his hand, and a pitch-black dagger instantly slashed towards the head and neck of the pocket.

Dou's smile froze, and a black magic shield condensed in front of him for the first time.

Blackstone Shield - Level 9 Defensive Dark Magic, like most Black Magic, its own elemental type is difficult to define, as a defensive magic, the resistance and solidity of the Blackstone Shield is extremely high, but as a rare Level 9 defensive magic, its essence is that even if it is broken, it will form a new slow magic, like a swamp to contain the opponent, to limit the opponent's actions to the greatest extent, it can be said that it is the biggest nemesis of the agility system.

Whether it is from the level 9 magic of Shunfa, or the magic used according to the characteristics of the opponent, the combat quality of the pocket with monocles is breathtaking, which shows that he is not just a magician of the "academy school".

But the moment seemed to have expected Dou's reaction, her body shook from side to side, and disappeared in an instant, the previous outburst was just a feint! The next second, she suddenly appeared behind Dou, holding the dagger back, and stabbed him in the back of the heart.

After the stunned, a smile reappeared on Dou's face, and the corners of his mouth hooked upward, as if everything was under control. I saw that behind him, six black dots in a circular shape flashed, and a black transparent closed cage suddenly rose to the ground, instantly isolating it.

The instantaneous attack was too old to unwind, but she responded with great determination, and the dagger's forward speed doubled, stabbing into the transparent black wall.

The black dagger was pointed on the black transparent wall, as if nothing had happened, and the dagger was instantly put away and stood up straight, and the two members of the Burning Gate in black robes looked at each other like this.

"Instantly, what are you trying to do? You should know that I've always wanted to study someone like you with special talents, do you want to give me a chance?" asked Dou with a smile and a soft tone.

"I'm just trying to make sure you're qualified to walk with me, after all, you've been just a mage nagging in the back until now. As he spoke, the black wall spread and cracked in all directions, and finally shattered directly into scattered powder, and the delay effect did not occur at all.

"Is it directly using Yuan Force to isolate the regeneration of subsequent magic? It's really amazing control, for the sake of your pleasure, I'll arrange the matter of the killer meeting, but I'll leave the rest to you. ”

After saying that, he pushed his lenses and turned around and walked down the mountain.

Behind him, he stared thoughtfully at his back. The Darkness of Truth... Revelation... Sure enough, as rumored, unfathomable...

If someone were behind them at this time, they would see that on the exaggerated pattern of the burning door, all kinds of creatures were carved, gods, monsters, humans, orcs, elves, etc., and even flowers and animals, all displayed in different postures on the burning ancient stone door.

In the land of one door, all living beings gather.

......

A week later, in the headquarters of the Holy Demon Mercenary Regiment, Ilea was still lying on the bed, breathing evenly and steadily, and her long eyelashes did not flicker at all, indicating that her owner was still asleep.

After so many days, Ilea still showed no signs of waking up, thanks to the magic effect of the golden short sword that day, even Ilea's injuries were found to be basically fine after returning and being examined, except for a little more blood loss. It's just that I don't know if it's because the spirit is too stimulated, or if she lost her soul after walking around the ghost gate, she hasn't been able to wake up until now.

And Kaye too, although he didn't seem to have any problems physically, the vitality in his body fell into a state of exhaustion, and he couldn't condense and store the vitality in his body again no matter what.

In addition, his hair remained silver after that night and never changed back to its original color. At first, Sain thought it was a problem with hair dye, but no matter how you washed it or used a faded potion, it didn't work, and even if you used other dyeants, the hair color would not change, as if it was protected in some way.

Lancelot invited several of the city's eminent scholars, but none of them could give a concrete explanation for Kaye's situation. It's just that they all think that the problem of Yuan Li not being able to condense is because of the huge injection of external energy, which causes the meridians to be blocked by too much energy for a while.

During this time, Wonder Lee would come to see Kaye and Ilea almost every day, the first time, Guvostaff also came with him, and after expressing his apologies and thanks to Kaye and others, Guvostaff went to find Lancelot, I don't know what they talked about, but it was obvious that since that day, the tense atmosphere between the Holy Demon and Emperor Duan has weakened a lot, and the garrison in Walla City is obviously much tighter, and even Emperor Duan has organized a large-scale search outside the city, vowing to find the whereabouts of the man in black。

Wonder Lee didn't say anything every time he came, just put down all kinds of condolences to see how well they recovered and left, including the hair dye that Sain used to test Kaye, which was also brought by Wonder Lee.

Although he didn't say anything, all those who knew him could clearly feel that since that night, Wonder Lee has become different, he is no longer enthusiastic about those "bad tastes" that oppress others, and he no longer always swaggers on the grounds of respecting the strong, he has become a lot more silent, more introverted, and more assident in his cultivation.

Many insiders believe that it was the heavy blow he received that day that made Wonder Lee learn from the pain and want to improve his strength. But only he knew in his heart that everything he did was just for the sake of perhaps one day in the future, he would have the qualifications to become the knights who could influence his life, worthy of being entrusted to the ......
