Chapter 0278 - Meet the Mysterious Mage Again
The fall of the Julian family did not cause much of a sensation.
The people of Reims were busy sending off the envoys of the church.
As Sost rode his wyvern and ran first.
Angeladi had to send Commander Gil, with her Guards Regiment,
Escort the two envoys and ride in her carriage to the royal city.
After all, the task of the two envoys was to evaluate the candidates for cardinals.
It was only incidental to give Nock a commendation.
In this way, under the arrangement of Angeladi, the envoy arrived safely in the royal capital of Pali.
Commander Gil and his men returned safely to Reims City three days later.
When Nock became bishop, he began to vigorously reorganize the church.
First, a group of slaves were bought to replace the servants arranged by Angela.
Then, using the free time of teaching,
Take students out and learn how to help believers,
While preaching the teachings, we help believers in need.
Of course, depending on the situation of the believer, it is decided whether this help is repaid or unpaid,
It is also a course that tests the eyesight of the clergy.
But fortunately, Nock is still generally satisfied.
Even, under his unreserved guidance.
Three nuns and two priests succeeded in learning the art of the gods and became professionals.
At this point, they can truly call themselves trainee nuns and probationary pastors.
This made other students who didn't know the essentials very envious, but it also made the male students very ashamed.
After all, there are two more of them than the girls.
But the number of people who were the first to advance was one less than that of girls.
And that's not even counting the little sister Miledi!
That's a complete demon!
What magic is in her hands, she can use it in less than half a day.
And the effect is amazing.
Speaking of this change in Miledi.
Nock also had a headache.
He originally thought that Miledi, who was a divine benefactor, would not be able to learn divine arts.
Unexpectedly, after Milady found out that she didn't have light attribute mana.
He actually created another light elemental elf!
And she learns divine arts, there is no threshold at all.
If it weren't for the lack of mana.
Nock suspects that if she is given a light forbidden spell, she will be able to release it!
There is no need to communicate with the Holy Lord at all!
This learns your ability to be so evil that Nok is a little autistic!
Nock thinks he's also a genius, but he's a genius who doesn't look good enough in front of Miledi!
Luckily, Nock thought of going out to teach.
Divine art can be learned in seconds.
But people are sophisticated, and you can't learn by drawing a gourd in the same way.
Only by learning and applying can we integrate and understand.
As a result, Reims Cathedral has extracurricular activities for studying abroad.
Without the city of Reims, where the Julien family is messing up,
The atmosphere is much better.
The nobles who had the idea of beating Nok also restrained a lot.
After all, no one wants to be the next Julien.
In the face of such knowledgeable aristocrats, Nock followed the plan discussed with Angeladi,
An olive branch was thrown to a few families that seemed to be easier to control.
The members of the family were given a spare job at Reims Cathedral.
It can be regarded as having the status of a clergyman.
Angeladi is even more appropriate to woo these families,
Promise to give appropriate support.
The small family that was smashed by the pie became excited one by one,
Began to bury his head in the charge with Angeladi.
First of all, they are targeted,
He was an ally of the Julian family.
The group of nobles who wanted to win over Nock, but still had to put on a charity.
To be honest, at first, both Angelardi and Nock were going to let the bunch go.
It's just that they took the initiative to find Nock, and persuaded Nok to join them in a gesture of charity.
This behavior completely angered Nock, and he directly talked to Angeladi for two hours.
Then, the group of unlucky people became the whetstone for Angelardi and Nock.
Sharpen the few families that have just been subdued.
With Angeladi's covert support, and Nock backing him on the open side.
Several families quickly defeated Lylis and the other families.
In less than half a month, his vitality was greatly damaged.
On the contrary, several families supported by Angelati have directly increased their family business several times.
He has become more loyal to Nock and Angeladi.
Especially a few noble children who were arranged by Nock to work idle.
After getting the order of the family, he can't wait to become Nok's dogleg.
No, Nock is obviously taking his students out to study.
To the nearby countryside,
The conditions can be described as tough.
However, these noble children followed with a dead face.
Even if you can't help, you have to saddle up and back by Nock's side.
Nock didn't say no to this.
After all, it is the kindness of others, if you refuse, others will think that you are dissatisfied with him!
Stone Village, the village is not big, but it has a natural stone mine.
Therefore, even if the village is small, the economic conditions are not bad.
However, because of the quarry, the environment of the village is very poor.
Especially air.
No, many villagers have suffered from dust tuberculosis,
Coughing at every turn.
When Nock learned about the situation in the village, he took the students out to teach in the field.
This village was the family domain of a nobleman's son.
Stone mining is their family's business.
Well, just snatched it from the old aristocracy.
Therefore, after learning that Nock is not too dangerous, but it is a little tricky to find a place as a teaching point.
The nobleman's son told Nok about the situation in Stone Village.
Unexpectedly, Nock directly decided to choose here.
"Deacon Kirby, are you sure you informed the villagers that we are coming today?"
Nock stood at the entrance of Stone Village with twenty students and four noble sons who had been appointed as deacons.
Looking at the empty village, Nock wondered if the kid named Kirby was just bragging to himself,
I forgot to ask my family to inform the village chief of Stone Village.
Kirby didn't expect that coming to his family's territory would be the scene in front of him,
Suddenly he said a little strangely: "It shouldn't be! I asked my family to send a letter to me yesterday.
Could it be that they are not used to changing owners, so they have forgotten my orders? ”
Nock frowned when he heard this.
Although these four people only bear the name of the governor and deacon of the church, they do not have much power in the church.
But with this name, you can get in touch with many nobles and merchants who come to church to worship.
As a result, they have recently been slammed by quite a few businessmen.
I certainly don't dare to neglect my duties in the things I have explained.
In this way, it should be that there is something wrong with the village.
Nock glanced at the twenty apprentices behind him.
Since the church still needs people to stay, Nock left all five students who had already comprehended the magic in the church.
Just in case.
The rest were either trained by Leo as a patrol of the church or as church clerks,
Everyone goes to work in their own way.
For example, believers' prayers and repentances need to be presided over.
Even, if there is a problem that needs to be treated, five students can just handle it.
Therefore, the students that Nock brings out today are all students who are in between breakthroughs.
The spell spells are well memorized.
But the mana has not yet been condensed in the body.
Fortunately, to spread the teachings, there is no need to use divine magic,
Therefore, participating in extracurricular practical classes does not have much impact.
But now there is likely to be a problem in the stone village,
Nock was hesitant to take them along.
As for the four noble deacons.
Oh, four gentlemen, teasing cats and dogs, dogs and horses, they are in the line,
In the event of a sudden event, it is not necessary to count on them.
"Kirby, something is wrong. You and the three of them take the students back to the city.
By the way, I will inform the lord to send troops to support, and also inform your family to send someone over.
In the end, it's your territory, and you can't expect the lord to help you solve it, understand? ”
"Huh?"
Kirby was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
He looked at the empty village and said unconsciously, "Your Excellency, there will be any misunderstanding.
Maybe the villagers are resting at home, why don't we go in and see what is going on? ”
Even the cadets agreed with Kirby.
However, Nock is not used to them.
"Nonsense! Forgot what I said in class!
In case of danger, listen to the command and listen to the order!
That's how you listen to orders? ”
Nock glared angrily at the group of cadets until they all shut up and didn't dare to speak.
Nock then looked at the four of Kirby.
"I know that all four of you are the children of the nobles, and you are drunk and dreaming of death every day.
Now that you're with me, I'm a little dissatisfied.
If you are not pleased, go back and tell your family that you will be replaced by some obedient ones.
I will keep the place that should be given to you.
But if you want to stay, don't question my decision.
Although I am younger than you, I have more life experience than you combined.
Don't forget, in addition to being the bishop of Reims Cathedral, I'm also a high-level adventurer.
My perception of danger is not comparable to yours.
Stone Village is dangerous right now, and I don't know what's going on inside.
But it can make me, a high-level adventurer, have a dangerous intuition,
Then it's not something you can participate in.
So, now everyone go back to the city! ”
was scolded by Nock, and twenty-four people, including the deacon and the students, did not dare to squeak.
"Yes, Lord Bishop, I'll take them back, don't be angry."
Kirby is not a fool, and he has never forgotten the family's advice to him.
The bishop in front of him, who is younger than himself, dares to face the ruthless man of the dragon knight in the square!
He said that where it is dangerous, what good can it be to keep your mouth sharp!
However, just as Kirby was about to take someone away,
The unexpected happened.
"Hehe, I just want to leave now, it's too late. I can't let you go, it's a good thing for my disciples. ”
A mage dressed in black magic robes appears at the back of the group.
"Not good! Be careful! ”
Nock shouted in surprise, and the man rushed to the back of the line.
How this mage appeared, Nock didn't notice at all.
Looks like the situation is not good!
"Everyone, move closer to Deacon Kirby! When you encounter danger, try to unleash the magic you've learned!
Remember, in times of danger, don't think about relying on others, you can only rely on yourself!
This enemy is very dangerous, and I may not be able to take care of you, teacher!
Kirby, you four take care of these cadets! Don't forget who you are now!
You are the deacons of my cathedral! Don't leave a student to escape alone!
Otherwise, I will not tolerate it afterwards! ”
A little warning to the four of them,
Nock was in front of the magician.
"Huh? What a little ghost. I just heard that there are bishops in your ranks! Did I hear me wrong? ”
The magician looked at young Nock, his words full of doubt.
Seeing this, Nock immediately sneered: "Hmph, you heard it right, it's just that you are lonely and unheard."
In the next Bucai, it is the new bishop of Reims Cathedral! ”
Now, the magician is in the mood.
"Oh, so you're the new bishop who has been buzzing lately.
It was rumored that you were very young, I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true.
That's fine, just clean up you and get revenge for the last time the church chased me! ”
When Nock heard this, the vigilance in his heart increased again.
This man is clearly wanted by the church.
can be wanted by the church, but still alive,
None of them are simple characters.
It's not that it's too threatening,
It is the sin that has been committed.
Either way, it was enough to make Nok nervous.
This kind of person is dangerous, but he doesn't care about the group of ordinary people behind him who are not even professionals.
"Don't talk nonsense, today, I will make you, the bishop of the church, the nourishment of my disciples!"
"Wandering souls wandering around in various spaces and doing nothing,
Appearing as a servant,
Do your little bit,
Give me endless darkness,
Transcend and put an end to the innumerable painful karma of exile!
- Wraith's wail! ”
A bronze gate three or four meters high appeared out of thin air behind the magician,
Then, the door opened, and a group of undead came out of it with a wail.
Flying in the air, go straight to Nock and his party.
"Ahh Undead! ”
"Quick, find a way!"
"Run! We fled into the village! ”
"No! The teacher said that the village is dangerous! We can't go into the village! ”
"Yes, let's recite the incantation together, we are priests! As long as we comprehend a divine technique.
These undead can't hurt us! ”
"Yes, that's it! There's no reason why they can do it, we can't! ”
The students quickly calmed down and began to recite their incantations aloud.
It's just that twenty people, almost all of them chose a different spell,
It's messy to read, but it affects the people around it.
Nock had wanted to release the "Holy Sanctuary" to protect the students.
But hearing their determination to fend for themselves, coupled with the wails of these undead, was not too strong.
Even if the students can't resist it, it is just a mental trauma and mental malaise.
There was no life-threatening situation.
Therefore, Nok did not stop and began to attack the magician.
"Shackles of Light!"
Nok pointed at the magician, and the spell was instantaneous.
The magician didn't expect Nok to be able to cast spells instantly,
Tied up.
"You can instantly spell? Looks like I'm underestimating you! ”
The magician said in surprise, but quickly turned to disdain.
"But this alone can't catch me!"
"Darkness Strikes!"
A black light poured out of the magician's body, and the black light shone on the shackles of the magician's body,
In an instant, the shackles turned black, and then with a "boom", the shackles were shattered.
"Since you've surprised me, I don't want to favor one over the other. I'll give you a trick back, and I'll take it! ”
"The power of the dead, the will of the soul,
Wandering on the black earth, wandering in the blood-colored sky,
Gather in my hands, turn into my spears, and return all living beings to the feet of the gods!
- Bone-Eater Spear! ”
A white bone spear, with a ghostly glow that flickered from time to time, appeared in the air, locking on to Nok.
Nock, who was locked by mental power, knew that this move could not be avoided.
Either block it, or smash it!
The magician shook his hand: "Go!" ”
The bone spear flew towards Nok like an arrow off the string.
"Mille-Feuille: Shield of Light!"
Nock unleashed the modified spell that had compressed hundreds of shields of radiance on the path of the bone spear.
However, with a "poof", the bone spear pierced directly into the shield,
I almost pierced the shield.
However, that doesn't mean Nok is safe.
On the contrary, the crisis of Nock has just begun.
Because the bone spear continues to advance,
Countless cracks had already appeared on the shield.
If it weren't for the number of stacked layers, the shield would have been shattered long ago.
"I'm being underestimated!"
Nock looked at the magician who was waiting there to watch the play,
I was very unhappy.
"It's just right, I also want to try, without the twin guns, how much combat power can I have!"
"In the name of light, bind all darkness!
- Shackles of Light! ”
Taking advantage of the gap that the shield could still resist, Nok pointed at the mage and restrained him again.
This time, Nock didn't wait for the other party to crack it, and recited the spell again to release the spell.
Nock discovered that the instantaneous spell was fast and unexpected.
But the power is not as great as that released by chanting the mantra.
This may be due to the fact that chanting spells makes it easier to concentrate and the spells that are constructed are more powerful.
"Blade of Light, turn into an invincible sword and cut through the dark space!
- Lightsaber Slash! ”
A three-meter-long lightsaber appeared above the magician's head and slashed at him.
The magician who was suddenly attacked did not panic,
He was used to this kind of thing.
Attacking the enemy to save oneself is just a little trick.
"O evil god almighty, please give us the power to be free from external forces,
In the face of the strongest dark light, all damage will be kept away!
- Dark Shield! ”
A black shield blocked the slash of the lightsaber.
Boom!
The lightsaber and the black shield collided together, canceling each other out into energy and dissipating into the air.
However, Nock's purpose was not to be a mage in the first place.
He didn't expect that sword to hurt his enemy.
All he needed was a moment of distraction from the magician.
At the moment when the magician made a move to resist the attack of the lightsaber,
Nock rushed to the Bone Spear.
Ignoring the Bone Spear's spear tip piercing the light shield, desperately trying to penetrate the light shield and kill Nok.
The light in Nock's hand flickered.
"Purification!"
"Purification!"
"Purification!"
"Purifying ......"
Dozens of "purification techniques" instantly fell on the bone spear.
No matter how powerful it is, it doesn't change the fact that it is made up of evil forces.
And purification is the nemesis of all evil forces!
And, of course, there are more effective exorcism charms and rituals.
But that's too complicated.
This is only suitable for the type of scene with demonic possession.
Fighting, you have to see the "purification technique"!
After being purified by dozens of purification techniques, the bone spear lost its energy and directly turned into ordinary bones.
Unable to withstand the squeeze of the shield, it was directly shattered into a pile of bone chips.
At the same time, the magician broke free and looked at Nock with interest.
"I didn't expect you to break my spell in this way.
This is the first time I've seen this way.
Not bad, not bad, it seems, I won't be too bored. ”
"O undead souls in the depths of hell!
In the name of the Supreme of the Demon Realm, I call you to come!
Become my power and crush all the enemies that stand in your way!
- Hell Soul Cannon! ”
The magician finally moved, and a huge skeletal phantom appeared in the air.
A ghostly light shot out of the skeleton's mouth, heading straight for Nock.
When Nock saw the skeleton phantom, he felt bad.
Without even thinking about it, directly on the sacred shelter,
Then a charge came straight to the black-robed mage.
"Holy Spirit of the Nine Heavens,
Obey the ancient covenants,
To the other side of time!
Elves of the Quartet,
Listen to my request!
Become my shield!
- Holy Spirit! ”
Running Nok, shrouded in a pillar of light falling from the sky,
Moving as Nock runs.
Four blurred rays of light and shadow swirled around Nock's body.
It emits a faint glow.
"Boom!"
The ghostly light struck the pillar of light on Nock's body,
But it didn't make Nock feel a little uncomfortable.
The death energy attached to the ghostly light,
Dispelled by the brilliance of light and shadow.
Nock ran out of the afterimage,
In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of the magician.
The magician didn't expect that Nock would still have such skills.
Isn't the other party a priest?
"Eat your Uncle Nock's [Proud Fist]!"
Bang!
The magician didn't have time to dodge and received a punch in the face.
The man was beaten backwards.
However, Nock had no intention of letting him go,
A swoop, burrowing into the side where the magician fell,
Another punch from the bottom gave him an uppercut.
"Look at your Uncle Nock [Angry Fist]!"
Boom!
The magician was punched and had a levitation effect.
Seeing this, Nock raised his leg directly, wanting to give the opponent's lumbar spine a knee hit!
Unexpectedly, the magician had already reacted, and roared angrily with a black face:
"Flame Resistance!"
"Bear!"
The flames flashed, and a ring of fire flew out of the mage's body.
Hit Nock who didn't have time to dodge.
Bang!
Nock was overturned by the impact,
Smashed on the ground and rolled around a few times.
Fortunately, the Holy Spirit in him is still there,
And there were no injuries.
But he recognized the trick.
"It's you! You're the guy who summoned Cerberus last time! ”
Nock finally remembered who this magician was.
No wonder he looked at the other party's black robe familiarly!
It turned out to be the guy who attacked them at Canyon Fortress!
The originally enraged magician, after hearing Nock's exclamation,
Instead, he calmed down.
"Who are you? Have you seen me? No way! The only ones who have seen me are the dead! ”
The magician questioned Nok.
Nock laughed and said, "Fart, those who have seen you are dead, but what about the person who rescued you last time?"
He's your companion, isn't he? ”
"Sharp teeth. I don't care who you are, I'll send you to death now! ”
It's no wonder that the magician can't help but knock.
At the Canyon Fortress, it was night.
Coupled with the fog and the fact that Nock was black at the time,
Where can the other party connect the silver-haired Nock in front of him with the Nok in the fortress.
If Leo had been around, maybe he would have remembered.
"O sleeping servant of hell, obey the call of your master!
Wake up from hell!
- The Dark Knight! ”
A pitch-black six-pointed star array appeared beside the magician,
A figure slowly rose from the magic array.
"Fack! If you can't beat it, you can cheat! Summoning again! ”
Nock has a psychological shadow on the opponent's summons.
The three-headed dog of hell last time was almost scared to death by scaring Nock to death.
This time, the movement was a little smaller.
But Nock felt that it was certainly not simple.
Otherwise, how could the other party be summoned!
Nock didn't even think about it, turned around and ran.
At the same time, under the pressure of the undead, and under Kirby's reminders.
Resonate through the collective recitation of the same magic mantra,
Of the twenty students, more than a dozen of them awakened to become professionals on the spot.
More than a dozen divine spells were thrown,
Shoot down a lot of undead in an instant.
Soon, stimulated by the awakening of their peers, the remaining students also successfully awakened.
Twenty clergyman, dealing with a group of undead who can only attack spiritually,
It was nothing short of a one-sided massacre.
If it weren't for the number of enemies,
I'm afraid that their battle will end sooner.
Kerby also fights and discovers that the enemy is not strong.
"These undead are not here to kill us. I had the feeling that they were trying to drive us into the village.
Everyone forms a circle and takes turns to release the magic spell!
Don't seek to annihilate the enemy, just repel it! ”
Kirby reminded loudly.
No one wants to be a gentleman for the rest of their lives.
These days, after he became a deacon,
I felt respect that I had never received before.
Whether it's family or strangers.
Even he just showed the way for believers and said a few nice words.
The believers thanked him for their kindness and gratitude.
I've never felt this way before.
Yes, for the sake of the family, for the sake of himself.
He wanted to stay with Bishop Lane and learn and become a true clergyman.
Therefore, in the battle, although he could not help, he gave full play to his strengths.
Want to help find out the enemy's weaknesses.
Unexpectedly, he discovered the enemy's intentions.
"Giggles, you're smart. I actually saw the teacher's intentions.
But it doesn't matter, if you don't come in, then I'll go out! ”
An arrogant woman's voice came from the village,
Immediately stunned Kirby and the others.
