Chapter 219: The Arrangement of Fate
I saw the eagle dragon's head flying into the distance without looking back, it kept flapping its wings, and its flight speed became faster and faster.
The powerful wings tore through the air around it with a deafening sound, and as it flew over the town of Leon, almost all the inhabitants poked their heads out of their windows and looked curiously into the air, and the wind was so strong that the bell of the clock tower jingled.
β¦β¦
After flying for a long time, the eagle dragon actually flew to a plain.
At this time, hundreds of half-orcs in black armor and more than a dozen terrifying war beasts gathered on the plain.
These war beasts are more than ten meters tall, with ugly faces, wearing various crossbows made of black iron, and three orcs ride on their backs to control these war crossbows.
The two "fluttering" sounds tore the air beside the carved dragon, and it turned out to be two black iron crossbow arrows, and the carved dragon immediately turned over and easily dodged.
The carved dragon looked down, and there were two war beasts.
It suddenly let out a long roar, and then two waves of qi rushed out of its mouth in an instant.
The powerful wave of qi immediately knocked the war beast to the ground, and the surrounding orcs hurriedly dodged, but some of them were still crushed into meat sauce by the fallen war beast.
At this time, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were fired at the eagle dragon, and the eagle dragon easily dodged with a quick backflip.
At this time, the eagle dragon saw that among this group of half-orc troops, there was a half-orc wearing black armor with two heads on his shoulders, and he kept waving the war knife in his hand to direct the war beast to attack the eagle dragon in the air.
Seeing this, it quickly swooped down and flew low, charging towards the orc in command.
Due to the low flight of the carved dragon, those war beasts could not aim the crossbows on their backs at the eagle dragon, and the surrounding orcs were directly swept to the ground and fled by the wind carried by the powerful wings of the carved dragon.
Seeing this, the orc leader didn't take a step back, his eyes widened, he opened his bloody mouth, and waved the war knife in his hand to prepare for a desperate fight.
But the carved dragon didn't give him a chance to show it, only to see its eyes suddenly turn red, and then a red light shot at the orc leader and the war beast behind him.
Immediately after that, their movements gradually slowed down and turned directly into stone statues, and the carved dragon immediately smashed them!
The scattered rubble, the painful wails of the orcs around it, scattered in all directions. But the dragon did not mercifully let them go, but wiped out all the defeated orcs.
After a bloody wind, the eagle dragon slowly landed on the plain, and then lowered its head as if looking for something.
It wasn't long before it found Epuna's broken wand in the messy meadow.
When the eagle dragon saw the wand, he suddenly raised his head and screamed, looking extremely painful, then looked down at the fragments, and then opened the eagle's mouth, mixed these fragments with some dirt, and then flew into the distance.
β¦β¦
At this time, in the garden of Sandrepda Manor, a portal suddenly appeared, and then Aspna, Oripulf, and Lord Ajers slowly walked out.
The house-elves around them all let out a look of horror, and then snapped their fingers, and then the apparition informed Cini, Labre, and Wattle, as well as Wattle's wife, Annina.
After a while, the four apparitions made their way into the garden, and when Wattle saw Lord Ajers, a wand suddenly appeared in his hand.
Seeing this, Orepurf immediately scolded: "Waltel, put away your wand!" Wattle was stunned for a moment, then put away his wand in anger.
But when Espena saw Sini and Labre, she suddenly rushed over and hugged him. At this time, her eyes were full of tears, but she didn't say anything, just hugged tightly.
Sini couldn't help but look at Aspuna with some wonder and said, "Aspna, what's wrong with you?" β
Then Oripulf looked at Estuna and said, "Estna, go, I'll take you to see your mother's tombstone." As he spoke, he looked at Lord Ajas. Then he pulled Espurna in the direction of the manor, and Lord Ajers followed.
Seeing this, Wattle was a little angry and said, "Is he going too?" Is he worthy!! Oripulf slowly looked at Wattle with a very indifferent look in his eyes, "He is still Luna's husband, Epna's father, he has this right!" β
Seeing this, Wattle's wife, Annina, gently tugged at her husband's arm, and Wattle looked at the ground with resentment in her eyes and sighed helplessly.
β¦β¦
In this way, the three of them slowly came to the gate of the family cemetery in the deepest part of the manor, and Oripulf immediately pushed open the heavy door.
As the door was pushed open, a bottomless hallway appeared in front of Aspna.
Oripulf slowly led the two of them into the depths of the hallway.
Espurna looked to the side and saw a statue in each arch with everything about the statue's owner written underneath. Espurna seemed to understand that each statue was dedicated to an ancestor, and as she slowly descended into the corridor, the bonfires on both sides of the corridor were gradually lit, while the bonfires on both sides of the road were slowly extinguished.
After a while, the three of them stopped and stood in front of a statue.
Espurna recognized it as a statue of her mother, and she walked up quickly and knelt down in front of it, slowly looking up at it. I saw the statue of her mother wearing a beautiful dress, looking gently and firmly ahead, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
Espurna didn't speak, but watched quietly.
Lord Ajath looked at Luna's statue, then slowly turned his back and raised his head, and said in a serious tone, "Oripulf, let Aspna be here alone, I have something to look for you." Oripulf looked at the statue of Luna, then looked at the back of Espurna in front of the statue and said slowly, "Well, I know what you're trying to say. The two apparitions vanished, leaving Aspuna alone on her knees before the statue of her mother.
At this point, Lord Ajers and Oripulf appeared in the study, and Orepurf waved his hand to let the house-elves who were cleaning in the study leave. Seeing this, the elves hurriedly bowed and exited the study.
After Oripulf and the other elves left, they waved their arms slightly, and then the curtains were automatically closed, and the door of the study was locked with a bang, and then the firewood in the fireplace of the study was suddenly ignited.
Oripurf slowly came to the bookshelf, took out his beloved lemon black tea and made it, and then said with a smile: "It seems that this is the last time I will drink my favorite lemon tea." As he spoke, he handed the brewed black tea to Lord Ajas, and motioned for him to sit down.
In this way, the two sat on the single sofa on both sides of the coffee table, drinking lemon tea and talking.
Orepurf looked at Lord Ajers with a beautiful teacup and said slowly, "Is there no other way?" Lord Ajath took a sip of the tea from the teacup, then looked at the bonfire and said, "There is no way, we must let Espurna kill you and take away your demon source." β
Oripulf took a sip of tea and shook his head helplessly and said, "If that's the case, isn't it too cruel to her?" β
Lord Ajers nodded slightly, "Yes, indeed. But only in this way can she protect this world, which is her inevitable fate. β
Oripurf shook his head and looked at the bonfire: "It's really fate." This is what he suddenly thought of and hurriedly asked: "What if Aspuna is unwilling to do it?" β
Lord Ajays said with a sad look in his eyes, "Then I will force her to use the Death Curse to take away your Demon Source." Oripulf couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly: "If this is the case, Aspna will definitely hate you for the rest of her life." β
Lord Ajers looked at the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "Hate it, hate it, as long as she can live, I am willing to hate me as long as she wants." β
Oripulf smiled wryly and said, "It's a pity that I can't participate in Espurna's coming-of-age ceremony." β
Lord Ajers looked at Oripulfo and said, "Actually, I also hope you can understand that the gods and demons will start a war before she is eighteen years old, and if we don't stop it, all of us will become the food of the gods and demons." By then it will be too late. β
Oripurf smiled and asked, "That's why you want to learn the dark arts from Aspna." β
Lord Ajs nodded solemnly and said, "It is an irreversible fact that the black mage is destined to have a short life, but your family's curse can just counteract this situation. After all, the curse of your family is that if the descendant of your family has a demon source higher than that of the cursed person, when his descendant reaches the age of eighteen, the cursed person will turn to ashes, and the curse will be inherited from his descendant. β
Speaking of this, he took a sip of tea, then looked at Orepurf and said slightly: "Only in this way can the curse of your family end, and your descendants can live a normal life without worrying about the curse anymore." β
Oripulf smiled and said, "Yes, if that's the case, it's a very good situation. Speaking of this, he suddenly asked, "By the way, in what form will the invasion of gods and demons appear?" Let me, a dying old man, give you some countermeasures, and I should help. β
Lord Ajs smiled slightly, thought for a while and said slowly: "The gods and demons contacted the gods and demons of the entire magic world through the Dark Demon Emperor, and on the day of the Nine Stars Line, they collectively launched an attack, causing chaos in the world. Then the forces of the gods and demons will attack the rifts around the world, especially the largest rift in the Eps Damon School of Magic, which will be focused on attacking. β
Orepulf couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, and then said: "Nine stars and one line? Isn't it three years from now? Time is really tight, what are you going to do? Lord Ajs said slowly, "I will take Espena around the world to destroy those major emissaries of gods and demons, and reduce the combat power on the day of the outbreak. This will allow troops from all over the world to support the Epst Damon School of Magic, while Estuna and I will guard the school. β
Oripulf couldn't help but fall silent, and after a long time, he said with a serious expression: "It seems that the chaos in the world is just a faΓ§ade, and the biggest crack behind the school is the focus, if so, this operation can be said to be a difficult task." β
Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "It seems that Aspuna will learn a lot at this stage, after all, she has always wanted to be able to see this magical world everywhere. This time it can be said that it is as she wishes, hahaha. β
Lord Ajers smiled and said, "It's going to be a very difficult journey. β
Oripurf happily took a large sip of tea, then looked at Lord Ajes and asked, "By the way, what happened to you after you disappeared last time?" Became the Dark Lord? β
Lord Ajs shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This is also thanks to the betrayal of the Ministry of Magic, you know?" That day, the Ministry of Magic actually notified the black magician. Then we were attacked, and when we woke up we were in a gladiatorial arena. β
As he spoke, he looked at the blazing fire and continued, "When we woke up, we saw the then Dark Lord David, and he said let's fight each other, and the last one alive will have a chance to challenge him, and if he wins, he can take his place."
And although my team members fought each other on the surface, they all gave me their respective demon sources, so I survived to the end. At the same time, he was given the opportunity to challenge Lord Dawei.
So he and I fought each other in the illusion, and he took the opportunity to tell him everything about the gods and demons and the dark magician. I was shocked by the news, Lord Dawei just wanted to find a white mage with a powerful demon source and let him take his place, so as to resist the gods and demons and prevent the destruction of the world.
So I killed Lord David, and succeeded him as Lord Ajs, and the white mage named Fast disappeared completely. β
Oripurf fell silent as he listened to Lord Ajers' story. He said slowly: "Fate is such a creation that makes people. I believe that no one believes that the world needs evil black magicians to save it, and those so-called righteous white magicians have caused such a situation. β
As he spoke, he drank the tea in his hand, then stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and threw his favorite lemon tea and tea set into the fire, and then smiled as they slowly turned to ashes.
Lord Ajers couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and then asked, "Oripulf, what are you doing?" These are your favorites, isn't it a shame that they all burn? β
Orepelford smiled and pulled the ashes from the stove with his iron tongs and said, "Oh, that's why I burned these because I liked them, so that I could continue to enjoy them for another century." When he was sure that everything was in ashes, he smiled and looked at Lord Ajers and said indifferently, "Alright, it's time to hit the road." β
β¦β¦
At the same time, Aspuna was kneeling on the cold ground and looking up at Luna's statue, the scenes from her dream flashing through her mind. And behind her, countless ghosts appeared, and their faces were full of sadness. They looked at the little girl who had lost her mother in front of them and couldn't help but cry.
At this moment, two figures walked in from the gate, it was Oripulfo and Lord Ajes.
