Chapter 124: Morning Comes
Duanmu Huai didn't know what was going on above, and he wasn't interested in knowing.
For Duanmu Huai, what he has to do now is to destroy the other party's ritual core, and as for the above matters, he will leave it to Kevin and them to deal with. After all, this country is blessed by Sigma, and it is not himself, and the life or death of the empire is none of his business? Sigma doesn't make a effort, isn't it because he is addicted to wool?
Not to mention, Duanmu Huai is also busy now!
Although it was not known what was going on above, not long after that, a large group of plague monsters rushed from the other side of the sewer, roaring and attacking Duanmu Huai and the others. I have to say that for these monsters who are already corrupt and full of stench, the sewers are really their home turf. If nothing else, just looking at these monsters covered in sewer-stained filth and rushing over without paying attention to it is enough to make people have a nervous breakdown.
The elf princess was still fighting side by side with Duanmu Huai at first, but after holding on for a few rounds, she couldn't help but choose to retreat——— these things are really disgusting.
But fortunately, the current Duanmu Huai does not need to rush up to fight these filthy monsters in hand-to-hand combat as before.
After all, his studies at the Manalia Academy of Magic were not a waste of time!
"Drink!
”
Duanmu Locust raised his hand, and soon, under the action of the gravitational gauntlet, the underground waterway began to tremble, and then pieces of rubble roared forward, like bullets hitting the fat and heavy bodies of the plague monsters, preventing them from moving further. At the same time, with a wave of his left hand, he released a spell card.
【Ice Statue Summoning】!
A biting cold breath erupted, freezing the underground water in front of him, and then a huge ice golem emerged from it, blocking the path of the plague monster like a wall. Just as the Ice Golem blocked the plague monsters, Duanmu Huai's fingers moved lightly again. Immediately afterward, a bolt of lightning burst out, passing through the ice golem and hitting the plague army directly, and the plague monsters who were struck by the lightning also let out a wail and cry of pain. However, before the plague monsters could come to their senses, the sharp and icy thorns that fell from the sky and were as sharp as spears pierced directly through the bodies of the plague monsters, nailing them to the ground.
【Chain Lightning Strike】! Then came ......... [Ice Spike Shooting]! Finally......... [Frozen Tempest]!
!
The howling cold wind filled the entire underground waterway, and everything in its path was completely frozen, and even the water flowing in the waterway turned into solid ice at this moment, and those plague monsters were directly frozen into ice, and then completely shattered.
"How could it be ...............?"
Looking at this scene in front of her, the elf princess muttered in surprise, almost speechless.
Ann was still trying to absorb the magic power, while Aujis was on guard beside her, although the elf princess also wanted to go over to check on the situation, but the puppet girl refused her approach——— since Duanmu Huai told her to protect Ann and not allow anyone to approach, then Augisi would naturally obey the order.
So the elf princess had to divert her attention and observe the battle of Duanmu Huai.
But what the elf princess didn't expect was that this man would actually use magic!
And it's still very powerful!?
How is this possible?!
The elven princess could hardly believe her eyes, and in general, most people's first reaction when they saw Duanmu Huai's outfit and his appearance was that this person was a very fierce warrior, but they would never associate it with magic. However, looking at the appearance of Duanmu Huai calling the wind and rain in front of him, what he showed was no less sophisticated, calm and mature than the mage.
And the magic power he casts is also quite strong, although it is not clear, but the elf princess can feel that Duanmu Huai should use a very peculiar psionic use technique. That's right......... Just like that young lady.
Thinking of this, the elf princess once again looked at An, who was vigorously absorbing the crystallization of magic power, and frowned slightly.
Many people don't know that there is a very close relationship between human magic and the High Elves, and that a long time ago, the High Elves came to Aldolph at the request of humans to teach human magic, and Aldolph's magic academy was established from this. Therefore, it can also be said that the magic used by humans and the magic used by the High Elves are the same at the basic level.
But......... They are completely different.
Whether it's the girl named Ann or the magic used by Duanmu Huai, their way of using psionic energy is completely different from that of the High Elves, and it can be seen from their skillful skills that this is not the result of someone's whim improvement, but a systematic way of using it.
Could it be that when did the empire have a new system of magical research?
Thinking of this, the elf princess's eyes lit up.
Maybe......... It's an opportunity.
"It worked!
! ”
At this time, Ann's cry interrupted the elf princess's thinking, she turned her head and looked in surprise in front of Ann, the power of psionic energy wrapped in the magic array was gradually weakening, it turned into a stream and poured into the magic book in An's hand, and soon, with the influx of psionic energy, the magic book in An's hand began to flip incessantly. The original black words on it began to gradually change into a magical mark shining with blue brilliance, and as the pages of the book were turned over, a large amount of energy was absorbed and transformed.
But what surprised the elf princess the most was ......... An in front of her did not show any uncomfortable or uncomfortable expression, on the contrary, she was very relaxed and even easy to guide this force, without showing the slightest difficulty.
How is this possible?
The elven princess knows very well how fragile human beings are, and ordinary people are afraid that just getting close to such a concentration of spiritual energy will mutate because of this. And now An is in the core of psionic energy, according to reason, even if the psionic energy is not out of control, her body should have all kinds of changes when it is eroded by psionic energy——— the more human mages use psionic energy, the more mutations will occur, and eventually become monsters.
However, the girl didn't care at all, so much so that the elven princess wondered if she was a hybrid of elves and humans.
But it doesn't look like it...............
At the same time, as the last trace of spiritual power was absorbed by the magic guide book, An also breathed a long sigh of relief, only to see that the dimensional stone that was originally suspended in mid-air, exuding dazzling brilliance, also fell to the ground like a gray glass stone at this moment, and then broke open with a "bang" and turned into fragments.
As the surging magic dissipated, everything came to an end.
After repelling the plague monster's attack once more, the enemy also seems to have sensed the failure of the plan and stopped attacking. And Duanmu Huai also walked out of the underground waterway with the others after this.
When the group emerged from the underground waterway, the sky in front of them had already taken on the color of dawn, and as far as the eye could see, Aldolph in front of them seemed to be peaceful.
And just like that, a new day arrived.
Regarding what happened in the city of Aldolf on that page, Duanmu Huai also heard about it later from General Past. On the night of the feast, several cultists tried to set fire to the city of Aldolph and cause a commotion, but fortunately General Post did not cause much damage that night because he ordered martial law and arrested all those who dared to leave the house.
As for the palace, it was not so lucky, Duanmu Huai saw that the entire palace seemed to be attacked by an airstorm, and it was blown up with holes everywhere, I heard that it was the result of the battle between the emperor and his three unfilial sons, all in all......... In the end, the three unlucky people were still prostrategic, beheaded, and then burned to death.
In this way, this troublesome matter has finally come to an end.
Of course, this is not the end for the emperor, and then he has to gather forces from all over the country and continue to prevent the northern barbarians from going south——— but this has nothing to do with Duanmu Huai.
"You really just want this?"
Looking at Duanmu Huai in front of him, the emperor sitting on the throne asked, while Duanmu Huai nodded.
"Of course, we said okay, you won't admit it."
"Of course not."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the emperor shook his head with a wry smile, and then he made a gesture, and soon, he saw several attendants come over and handed over the things in their hands——— which were the remaining three holy relics.
This is also the reward that both parties agreed upon.
"If you want, I can give you a fief, or even make you an earl........."
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested."
Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, picked up the holy relic, and then looked at the emperor and shook his head.
"I have important things to do, so ......... Do your best, Your Majesty. ”
"That's what the empire is like now......... I do have a lot to do. ”
Saying this, the emperor sighed and looked at Duanmu Huai again.
"Well, then, I wish you all the best of luck on your journey. In any case, you and your warband have saved the city, and if it weren't for you sabotaging their evil plans, I'm afraid that the whole of Aldolph would be completely destroyed right now. I will spread your story throughout the empire and let everyone know that you saved the country. ”
"Thank you."
Hearing the emperor's words, Duanmu Huai nodded.
"Don't forget to mention the name of our warband."
"I know, Pink Bunny Warband......... Well, I'll remember. ”
Faced with Duanmu Huai's request, the emperor's face stiffened slightly, but he still nodded quickly.
"Then again......... You gave me the holy relics, how are you going to choose the heir of the empire in the future? ”
Looking at the holy relics in his hand, Duanmu Huai looked at the emperor curiously, his three sons were all reversed, who did he plan to choose as the next heir of the empire?
However, if you want to take Muhuai, the emperor doesn't have to be too sad, after all, as the emperor, he is not the first to rebel as a result of his son.
"I've got a whole new idea."
The emperor thought for a moment, but still planned to say it to Duanmu Huai.
"As you can see, bloodlines do not guarantee loyalty, and my foolish child will likewise choose the path against me for all sorts of reasons. If they are allowed to take charge of the empire, it will only bring pain and disaster to the country, so I plan to adopt another electoral system——— I will make the lords of each territory in the empire the electors, and when I abdicate, the next emperor will be elected from among these electors, regardless of origin, status, only results......... Only the one who receives the most support will be able to become emperor. ”
"Uh..............."
Hearing the emperor's answer, Duanmu Huai was silent.
That......... I wish you all the best.
After this, Duanmu Huai said goodbye to the emperor and returned to the space station with Ogis and Ann.
For him, he doesn't care about the emperor's reward or anything, and the next thing is his space station, when he really transforms!
