Chapter 26 [The Outside World is Terrible]

There was once a famous emperor in the history of the Roland Empire:

"The Imperial Code is sacred and inviolable! Within the borders of the Empire, everyone must strictly abide by the Imperial Code. ”

That emperor went on to create one of the most glorious eras in the history of the Roland Empire, known for its strict laws and solid rule.

However, it was also the same emperor...... It is said that while he left that famous saying, he added another sentence in private. Of course, this private sentence is not recorded in any official documents, but this sentence has been disclosed through many channels and is also widely circulated.

“...... Everyone must obey the Imperial Code, however, there are two exceptions. The first exception was the emperor himself. Imperial power can sometimes be above the Code......! The other exception is...... Magician!"

Powerful magicians often have many abilities that surpass mortals, and when this ability reaches an extreme, they can even move mountains and seas, and even change the fate of a country. In the existing literature, those times when they were so powerful that they couldn't even look up at them seemed to mortals to be almost like gods!

Those who are strong can raze the mountains and fill the sea with a wave of their hands. They can summon storms of ice and snow, or they can scorch the plains into arid deserts with a wave of their hands! They can destroy thousands of armies with a wave of their hands, and they can create a disaster that can destroy a small country!

For such a strong person, the secular "legal code" is obviously unable to restrain them. And it is obviously unrealistic to let those powerful people who can destroy the world at every turn obey the laws of the world.

Even if you don't count the legendary powerhouses who are said to have the power of a god close to that of a god...... Even a life-and-death battle between ordinary magicians is enough to set off a small catastrophe, and such a catastrophe is enough to destroy a city.

According to historical records, when this continent was not yet unified, it was a time of war and darkness, and often the decisive battle between two magicians could even directly destroy a city-state!

And after the unification of this continent into a powerful and complete Roland Empire, the large-scale war disappeared. Battles at the mage level are also decreasing. Even so, in the history of the Roland Empire, there is no shortage of records of magicians who "easily" destroyed one or two small towns when dueling privately.

But even so, in the Imperial Codex, there has never been a law similar to "no duels in public" for magicians. There are laws for ordinary people that prohibit fighting in public, but magicians are not among them.

Even the Magic Guild only asks the magicians to try to settle personal grievances in crowded places as much as possible. It's just a requirement, and it doesn't make any hard rules.

Even, the agreement reached between the Magic Guild and the Empire is that any magician above the middle level, even if he is guilty of the most heinous crimes, unless he has committed a felony of treason, otherwise, if a magician is to be convicted or punished, it must be tried by the Empire officials, the Magic Union, and the Temple of Light! Otherwise, the Empire has no right to arrest or convict any magician above the middle level.

In the centuries-old history of the Empire, there has never been a record of a magician above the middle level being punished by the Empire for breaking the law. All of this undoubtedly shows that the group of magicians is above ordinary people.

A group of people who have extraordinary abilities, but who are also above the law, and who can act almost entirely according to their own preferences, and who can be almost unconstrained...... In the eyes of ordinary people, magicians are such an existence, so when it comes to magicians, people have an attitude of awe, and the element of fear accounts for more of this.

Almost all the residents of Half Horn City were awakened from their sleep that night by a huge commotion.

The violent vibration caused many people to wake up from their dreams and even fall out of bed. The lights above their heads were shaking, the wooden doors of their homes creaked, and countless people woke up in horror, only to find that they couldn't even stand on their feet in the violent tremors.

People rushed out of the houses in panic, only to find that there was a dazzling light shining in the sky that was supposed to be a dark night. That huge ball of light flickered, and even in the distance, you could hear some kind of roar from a fierce beast, which made people feel fear from the depths of their hearts!

Wave after wave of tremors came from outside the city, and everything seemed to be some terrible disaster that I didn't know. The earthquake, coupled with the firelight in the sky, and the chilling roar that sent the inhabitants of Halfhorn City into a panic.

The most frightening thing is after a wave of oscillations...... The violent earthquake even caused the walls to collapse in the north! The sound of the city walls collapsing made people start to run blindly around the city!

And in the distance, as if in the direction of Banjiao Mountain outside the city, everyone can even see with the naked eye, two huge light clusters, one silver and one fiery red! These two light clusters collide fiercely and fiercely, and the number of collisions is becoming more and more frequent, and each collision, the light that is stirred up can almost illuminate the night! Even the moon in the sky has long lost its brilliance!

Along with the fierce light, there was also a dull roar! The roar made people's hearts beat when they heard it! All at once, it was as if a heavy hammer had smashed into people's hearts.

Also in the midst of the panic were the light infantry of the small local garrison left behind in the city. These soldiers who were responsible for patrolling the city walls were powerless to maintain order in the face of the panicked residents of Halfhorn...... Their staff is too weak, and they are just as scared inside.

The scariest thing is...... The news finally came! Some people ran to the garrison camp outside the city to ask for help, but they were horrified to find that dozens of cavalrymen left behind in the garrison camp were also injured and fainted on the ground, and even the Spann knights, who were quite famous in the local area, were seriously wounded. There was a mess in the barracks, and there was a fire to extinguish, as if someone had just attacked it!

Panicked people began to crowd out of the city, and some people climbed the ...... in panic

At this moment, a sound like thunder came from the direction of Banjiao Mountain...... Then there was a series of sounds, like thunder in a summer rainstorm......

"The mountain has collapsed! The mountain has collapsed!!"

I don't know who was the first to exclaim from a height! Immediately this panicked news quickly spread through the crowd.

It's true that the half-horned mountain has collapsed!!

In the distance, the hill that could be seen with the naked eye from the city wall, the peak of the famous Banjiao Mountain, collapsed in the sight of the people in horror! The whole mountain seemed to be directly scattered by something, as if it was not a mountain, but a pile of sand...... It fell down with a bang!

In the distance, the fierce bright light can be clearly seen even by people dozens of miles away! And there are people with better eyes, who seem to be able to see two strange and huge shadows flying in the strong light......

For the residents of Half Horn, this is probably destined to be a night of a lifetime. Because of the unknown panic, they were almost in the same mood as longing for the dawn!

When the sky finally bloomed with a glimmer of morning light, the terrifying roar and the fierce flash of the bright light that had been flashing for half a night finally disappeared!

After waiting for more than an hour, it seemed as if this unknown disaster was really over, and the fear in people's hearts gradually settled down.

Last night, the Span Knight and others, who were rescued by the soldiers who ran to the garrison camp in the city to ask for help, finally woke up, as well as Robert and the others.

They were almost unable to resist in the face of the powerful power of the magician, and then under the magic of the ice beauty, the entire hall collapsed by her, and the people who were knocked down by the ice beauty at that time, and several were injured by the collapsed houses.

The first to wake up from the ambulance was the female knight Ruolin.

Ruolin has been resting at night because of the injury in the daytime battle, she has lost too much blood, and Solskjaer also gave her some sleep-promoting drugs, but Ruolin, who was not injured in the night attack, woke up first, she was still weak because of excessive blood loss, after all, the lost blood can not be replenished in a short time.

Then woke up Knight Robert, then Knight Span, and then the guards of the Rollin family. After a few people found out that their little master and the terrible female attacker were gone, everyone panicked.

After learning about the situation from the people around him, the injured Robert, regardless of the burnt injuries on his body, immediately supported the injured body, and took a few men with slightly less injured injuries to prepare a car for Banjiao Mountain. When Knight Spann learned that the young master of the Rollin family was gone, he immediately stepped on the air like a cliff! He was so badly wounded that he could not move, so he could only order that all those in the garrison who could still move immediately follow Robert to Banjiao Mountain! Because according to the residents, it was very likely that the terrible female attacker had run away to Banjiao Mountain last night.

At the same time, the Spann Knight immediately sent men to leave Half Horn City and go to the location of the garrison Chūn Ji Cāo to ask for help, and at the same time immediately report everything that happened in Half Horn City to the Governor's Palace of Lille Province.

Not to mention how Knight Spann worries about his own future, only that Knight Robert endured the pain and took people in a carriage to Banjiao Mountain, which had become a ruin, accompanied by the female knight Ruolin.

And the scene in front of him is enough to make the calmest people stammer!!

Just a day ago, they had formed a team to search for demonic beasts here, and their footprints had even covered the entire Banjiao Mountain.

When I came yesterday, it was a typical hilly mountain in the southern part of the empire, with three or four miles of mountains, covered with lush forests, and the whole mountain was in the shape of a "U", with the highest peak in the middle, and standing on the peak, you could look down on the general outline of the half-horned city in the distance.

But now......

Robert and Ruolin, who were carried out of the carriage, both opened their mouths wide and their eyes widened, almost unable to believe that what was in front of them was the truth!!

Oh my God, if this is a nightmare, let it end!!

Despite the swearings of a local garrison soldier, this is definitely Half Horn Mountain...... In other words, it is the location of the half-horned mountain.

But even the soldier himself, who had sworn a curse, had a blank face and horror in his eyes!

Front......

Half-Horn Mountain......

No, no, it should be said that there are no more "mountains" here!

In front of him was a ...... with a diameter of three miles wide. Huge round big pit!!

Where did the mountain go?

This question is spinning in everyone's mind!

The carriage stopped right on the edge of the circular crater, and Robert could only feel a chill all over his body, looking at the shocking and strange sight before him......

This circular crater seems to have been left behind by some kind of violent explosion! Probably, in the knight's speculation, I am afraid that the entire mountain was blown up in the explosion! The edge of the circular crater was scattered with all kinds of strange stones of various sizes, and the ground was thick with sand, and the original dirt floor was long invisible.

And this huge circular crater is a little shallow around it, and the deeper it gets the further you go in the middle!

What's even more frightening is the appearance of this round pit.

Such a huge round pit is as if the gods of heaven have divided it into two completely different shapes with an invisible pen!

Bounded by the center of the pit, the half of the pit on the left is a thick layer of ice! The hard ice on the ground seems to have accumulated over thousands of years! The thick and hard ice, and the frost covering the ground, have frozen everything on the ground in this half of the pit into a silver world! Even the surface of the stone is covered with a layer of ice crystals!

And the right half of the pit is the complete opposite!

If the left half is icy and snowy, then the right half is like a desert area!

It is as if every drop of water on the ground has been burned dry! The ground is covered with fine dry and hard sand, and some of the ground that is not covered with sand is also obviously cracked because it is too dry! Here, it seems that not a drop of water can be found...... Even the stones look like they've been burned open!

Such a huge round pit, one on the left and one on the right, are completely opposite appearances. It made people's hearts frightened and a little more inexplicably shocked.

After all, he was a strong knight, and Robert was the first of the crowd to wake up from the shock.

"I guess...... There must have been a fierce battle here last night. This level of combat is unimaginable at our level...... The sorceress named Vivien was also gone, and she must have fought with the female attacker here last night. The knight analyzed with a calm face: "We don't have to worry about these things...... Our question is, where is the little master now? He is not in the barracks, he was already there when we were rescued! Then he must have been kidnapped by the other side...... Maybe even ......"

The rest, Robert didn't say. After all, even a mountain can be turned into a pit out of thin air! Magicians are so powerful in battle...... Well, it's not a big deal to make a handful of people disappear.

Robert's face was extremely difficult to see, but he still realized his duty, after all, he was the highest-ranking leader of all his own people, and he couldn't let his subordinates be discouraged, he gritted his teeth and said: "Maybe the situation is not so bad, maybe the master escaped by himself, or maybe the master was kidnapped by the magician." Anyway, the most important thing now is to get the owner back!"

The knight immediately gave two orders: first, those who could move immediately searched everywhere. Second, immediately send someone back to the Lorraine Plains Castle in Kot Province to deliver the message!

Things are beyond the control of Robert Knight and others.

Where is this little young master now?

This is a question that is on everyone's mind.

So, what exactly is Du Wei doing now?

......

Du Wei was doing something he had never even dreamed of before.

He's ...... Dragon riding!

Riding on the back of a dragon, flying in the sky! The wind around him was so windy that he could barely open his eyes, and he could barely wrap his clothes around his head. He grabbed the raised scales on the dragon's back with both hands, and watched the behemoth under him quickly shuttle through the clouds, with a vast sea of clouds under his feet...... This feeling made Du Wei can't help but want to scream with some excitement in his heart!

"Please, please, please, don't hold on to its scales, okay?" Vivien's pitiful voice came from the side, the female magician was lying weakly on the dragon's back, her body was tightly attached to the dragon's back, the delicate little face was already as white as paper, and she looked extremely weak, seeing Du Wei clutching the scales of her own dragon, the female magician couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her heart:" It and it will feel unhappy, the dragon is a kind of proud creature, I am still a child, it and it does not like others to scratch its scales......"

"If I don't catch its scales, where else can I catch it?" Du Wei frowned, as soon as he opened his mouth, the wind poured into his mouth, choking him coughing again and again, he quickly lowered his head, and turned his head to look at the female magician: "Such a strong wind, if you don't find a place to hold on, what should I do if I fall!"

Du Wei said hatefully: "It's okay not to catch its scales, first get rid of your terrible sister's pursuit, and when you come down to a safe place, I'll make a rein for it." ”

Bridle?

Forgive poor little Vivien, O God Almighty...... Forgive this horrible creature too.

Put the reins on a dragon...... God, does he think dragons are creatures that can be ridden at will?

At this time, the giant dragon under him suddenly let out a mournful roar......

Du Wei was shocked and shouted: "It's not good, your dragon doesn't seem to be good!"

Wei Wei was also uncomfortable: "Lie Rì is still a young dragon, it was injured just now, and it has to carry two people on its back, it is ......."

This naked dragon, with a shocking wound on its left wing, made half of the dragon's wings a little inflexible when flying, and its body, flying and flying, couldn't help but tilt to one side a little.

"Think of a way!" shouted Du Wei, "or the two of us will fall to our deaths." ”

"I, me, me, and my stuff have all been blackmailed by you!, I can't do anything......" Vivien was also so frightened that she couldn't speak, tears rolled in her big eyes, and she suddenly burst into tears:

"Wow!! the outside world is so scary!Teacher!Teacher, come and save me! I want Mommy, I want Dad! Come and save poor little Vivien!!"

Huh? I didn't stutter when I cried at this time?!

Du Wei was almost so angry that this little silly girl fell off the dragon's back! At this time, she actually cried like a child and called Mom and Dad!

He scolded a few times with a calm face, but at this moment, the dragon under him finally couldn't bear it anymore.

It fought fiercely for half the night, it had already consumed almost all its magic power, and in the end it was seriously injured, and it had escaped with its master for so long, carrying two people on its back, and its wings were still injured, and now it was at its limit.

With a scream, Du Wei felt his body sink violently! The dragon had fallen headlong from mid-air......

"Damn! Hurry up and figure it out! Your dragon is dead!!"

"Wow...... Daddy!Mom!!Mommy......"

"Don't cry! we'll fall to death if we cry again!!"

"Wow...... Mom...... Come and save poor little Vivien......"
