On the banks of the Cold Water River.

"Hey, hey~~Hahaha~~~~~"

Cyrus let out an icy laugh, and with his laughter, explosions erupted one after another in the snow on the cold river, bursting into staggering gray-white flames.

'Click~Boom~'

The ice on the Hanshui River melted rapidly, and it melted the ice surface more than 100 meters long and dozens of meters wide at once, revealing the inky black, icy and piercing water below.

The rushing water of the river blocked Shabolai's path.

At the same time, the living corpses on the river bank were in a semicircle, constantly approaching Shabolai from behind.

Sellers slowly retreated to the opposite bank, and the voice of disdain crossed the water with the cold wind and reached Chapole's ears.

"You samurai are all the same, thinking that anger can change the truth."

"As everyone knows, the only function of anger is to move yourselves, and what can really change the world is the power of reason and wisdom constraints."

The ground was burning with ice, the sky was full of snowflakes, and Cyrus's voice seemed to be mixed with the great power of heaven and earth, showing a suffocating oppressive force.

No matter how angry Shabolai was, he had to stop.

The time and place were all occupied by the opponent, and an almost perfect trap was laid, and just a wave of full strength exploded, and his strength was less than thirty percent.

If you rush at this moment, not only will you not be able to kill the other party, but you will also die in vain.

The living corpse behind him is getting closer and closer to him, and if he hesitates for a moment, he will fall into the siege again.

Seeing Cyrus retreating farther and farther away, the blood in Shabolai's heart quickly subsided, but he still had a strong unwillingness in his heart.

"Cyrus, you wait for me! I'm going to kill you! It's going to kill you! ”

As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the stone from the ground and threw it at Sellers with all his might.

He hadn't practiced throwing much, his head was very average, and the other party was protected by living corpses, so naturally he didn't expect the stones to hurt the other party, just to vent his anger.

'Poof~'

Sure enough, a living corpse took a step forward and stood in front of Cyrus, holding back the stone with its own body.

But the stone thrown by the high-ranking samurai was still very strong, and the living corpse was also beaten and almost fell.

Cyrus chuckled.

"You know, Shabolai, you look like a defeated rooster now...... Oh, I forgot, you're not called Shabolai now, what should you call it? ”

"Waste, or defeat?"

Carefully arranged and set traps, in the face of the full protection of the high-ranking samurai, they still succeeded in achieving their goals, and even forced the high-ranking samurai to dare to jump on the shore, so that they had to use stones to vent their anger.

Such a power was something he had never dared to think of before.

He was so happy that he couldn't help laughing, at first quietly, and then louder and louder, until he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha~~ From today, I, Cyrus. Gogoril will no longer be an unknown wandering mage! ”

"No one dares to laugh at me anymore! No one dares to despise me anymore! ”

"From now on, I am the mighty Ash Mage, the messenger of death and fire, the embodiment of destruction......"

'Bang! ’

Cyrus's body shook violently, and a sharp pain that pierced his heart emerged from his chest, burrowing into his mind like a sharp knife.

Under the intense pain, his body was completely paralyzed, and his mind was almost stagnant, as if it was frozen in ice.

"What's going on?"

Sellers lowered his head with all his might, and saw that his chest was sunken, and a walnut-sized glass bead was deeply embedded in the depression.

Because of the violent collision with the ribs, the inside of the glass beads was full of cracks, and it was already on the verge of shattering.

"Glass beads?"

"How can there be glass beads?!"

Cyrus's thoughts, which were nearly stagnant because of the severe pain, really couldn't understand why there were glass beads on his chest that had nothing to do with the current situation.

Suddenly, a slightly immature young voice drifted into his ears with the wind: "Mentor, thank you for teaching me my last lesson. ”

"It's Lawson?! Aren't you dead? ”

How could he hear such a terrible scream?

Sellers rolled his eyes to look at the river, and found that Lawson was standing naked in the snow, his clothes had been burned by the ashes, but his body was unscathed.

"How is that possible? How could he possibly resist the flames of the Ash Bird? ”

Even after absorbing it, the power of the ashes, which was originally a transcendent mana, was greatly reduced, it was still extremely lethal.

Even a high-level warrior didn't dare to underestimate him, how could he, a small magic apprentice, block it?

"Mentor, if I don't scream, you'll definitely make up the knife to confirm, right?"

As he spoke, the air in the air suddenly became sharp, and another glass bead flew at a rapid speed, slammed, and hit Cyrus in the eye.

Under the huge impact, the glass beads directly exploded Cyrus's eyeballs, and then slammed into the skull behind the eyes.

The glass beads shattered, and the shattered splinters splattered in the eye sockets, tearing at Cyrus's face.

Cyrus only felt a huge shock in his head, his eyes were dark, he could no longer control his body, and fell to the snow on his back.

Blood continued to flow from his chest and face, and spread beneath him, a crimson flower of blood gradually blooming.

Not far away, Lilith was haunted by a living corpse, desperately trying to dodge.

While they were in a hurry, the living corpses suddenly froze, and then they fell to the ground like wooden stakes.

Slightly surprised, she turned her head to see Cyrus lying on the snow, and then she turned her head to see Shapole stunned.

Finally, I turned my gaze and finally saw Lawson standing naked on the snow.

"Rosen isn't dead?"

"How did Sellers die?"

Two big questions came to mind.

On the other side, Shabolai finally came to his senses.

He was deeply afraid that Cyrus was not dead, so he quickly bypassed the thawing river and ran to Cyrus, with the Demon Breaker Knife on his neck.

Cyrus didn't faint, and there was still a trace of trance.

Shabolai said coldly: "Do you have a last word, despicable thief? ”

"Hehehe~~"

The mage let out a low, miserable laugh in his throat and whispered to himself.

"Lawson~~Lawson~~~~"

"My amazing apprentice~~~Hehe~~~"

'Poof~~'

Shapole cut off his head with a single sword.

But it wasn't enough, so he slashed his head more than a dozen times in a row, and cut his head into meat sauce before stopping.

Later, Shabolai raised his leg and kicked both Sellers and the living corpse into the river, and the river faithfully took the corpse away.

Everything was calm again, except for the howling of the cold wind.

Shabolai stood on the ice in a daze, but he still felt that what had happened before did not seem real, it was almost like a dream.

A voice came in the wind: "Uncle, can you help me find a dress?" I'm about to freeze to death. ”

It's Lawson.

He hurried back to the river, and when he saw that Rosen was covered in cold, he took off his robe and draped it over him.

He couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Rosen was shivering from the cold, and a smile appeared on his face: "Didn't I say it, can I use the hand of a mage to throw things and smash people?" ”

"The hand of the mage throws things and smashes people...... But this is too hard, right? ”

Nearly blew Cyrus's head out.

Rosen shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, the power is not enough, I expected that it should be directly pierced through his body, but it can only be seriously injured." ”

Shabolai was speechless and stared at Rosen for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Why can't the fire of ashes burn you?" ”

Rosen looked 'dazed'.

"I don't know wow. I was on fire and I was rolling in the snow and the fire was extinguished, but my clothes were still burned. ”

In fact, he was also on the line of life and death just now, and it was actually a big fluke to be able to use the flame barrier to block the missile.

The first is because there is only one missile.

The second is that he is surrounded by a thick layer of snow, which melts into water and soaks the leather coat on his body, which greatly weakens the lethality of the gray fire.

Shabolai naturally a hundred do not believe.

Lilith walked over, and she couldn't understand it: "That's a fire of ashes, ordinary people will burn to ashes if they get a little bit of it!" ”

Rosen looked 'afraid': "Is it so scary?" ”

Of course he knew that this was the case, but naturally he wouldn't say it, anyway, he just pretended to be stupid.

But unexpectedly, Shabolai took the initiative to find a reason for him, he patted his brain, and said: "I probably understand why." ”

"Why?" Lilith asked with Rosen.

Shabol said, "Probably because Lawson has been practicing solar visualization recently, and it has been very effective. And the fire of the sun is the purest and most primordial flame in the world, which happens to restrain the power of ashes. ”

"Oh, I see." Rosen 'suddenly realized'.

Lilith still thought it was incredible.

"After meditating for more than 20 days, I was able to resist the power of ashes. How effective has this been? ”

At this time, Shabolai had already identified Lawson as the heir to his wife, so he was naturally reluctant to discuss Lawson's magic talent too much.

He smiled: "Why do you care so much? Either way, it's a good thing. ”

"Oh, by the way, I'm going to take Rosen back to Silvermoon. In return, you nightingales will owe me money, and write it off. ”

Lilith was a little confused: "Mr. Shabolai, we owe you money, and we will pay it back slowly." How can you take Rosen? ”

Even if it is a thousand gold crowns, with Rosen's painting skills, he can earn it back in a few years.

It's good that this prodigal samurai actually planned to take the egg-laying hen away directly, and he didn't look like he was taking advantage of it.

Xia Bolai's face turned cold: "This doesn't have to be returned slowly." Either you pay me back a thousand right away, or if you don't, don't be crooked. ”

"Uh......"

Xia Bolai's face was even colder: "Little girl, under normal circumstances, I don't kill beauties, but there are exceptions." You'd better not let me make an exception for you! ”

Lilith suddenly had no choice but to nod.

"Oh well. However, after a battle to the death, everyone is tired, why don't you go back to the hotel to rest first? ”

Xia Bolai smiled: "Then you don't need to." Time is too tight, so I'll take Rosen back. ”

Seeing that Lilith wanted to say more, he grinned and laughed.

"Chick, don't have a bad idea. You nightingales know that way, I know very well. It's nothing more than trying to keep me and secretly plot against me, right? ”

Lilith hurriedly denied: "No, no, no, you are a distinguished guest, how can we plot against you?" ”

"That's going to take the time to scrape together money so that I can gag me with a kilogram of Lang."

"Hmph~ I'll tell you the truth, even if you make up enough for a thousand, I still have to take Lawson! So, don't bother with it. See you soon! ”

He walked up to Rosen and carried him on his back: "Boy, let's go, I'll take you to Silvermoon Castle." Madame will surely be very happy to see you. ”

Rosen naturally has no opinion.

He turned his head and waved at Lilith, "Goodbye, Miss Lilith." Thank you very much for your hospitality during this time. ”

Lilith looked at the smile on Rosen's face without any silliness, and felt as if the other party had changed someone.

She felt strange in her heart, and couldn't help but start thinking back to what had happened in the past half a month.

Thinking about it, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

'Like...... Cyrus and I have both been calculated by this guy! ’

'No, no, no, he's so young, how can he be so powerful?! ’

But the more she thought about the details, the more horrified she became, and she couldn't help but ask Rosen for confirmation.

"Hi ~ boy, do you know all about the deal between me and Cyrus?"

"No, no, you made it happen, right?!"

Rosen didn't answer, just smiled.

Shabolai listened and laughed.

"I said, chick, you're not stupid at home. You can't control this little devil at all, I want to keep him, whether you can survive this year is a question. ”
