284 Sword & Sorcery
At the beginning of that distant history, when the first spiritual fire burned in the chaotic souls, when the newborn human race looked up at this boundless sky and earth, their hearts must have been full of confusion and even fear.
Yes, the sea and the sky are vast, the earth is vast, the monstrous beasts are running and roaring, and the savage races are eyeing each other, when the fallen sunset pulls down the dark sky, what can stop them from dragging the fragile human ancestors into the abyss of death?
In such a terrible world, human beings with degraded minions and weak bodies seem so vulnerable that they will even die out like a broken candle in the wind with a gentle blow.
However, it was in such a terrible world that this race, as small as ants, finally rose up, drove all those nightmarish fears into the dark corners, and officially became the master of the entire continent.
It's not easy.
The demons of Purgatory have invaded, the evil gods of Hell have been secretly haunting, the demons of Hell have been tempted repeatedly, natural and man-made disasters, chaos and darkness, wind and waves are surging, and disasters from heaven have emerged one after another.
However, none of this can shake the status of mankind in the slightest.
The guardians of the human race, generation after generation, rose up in the face of these hardships, fought hard to the death, and fought blood-stained dust, advancing without giving an inch.
In their hands, they have always held the two most powerful weapons.
Sword, and magic.
They are the two major themes of the world, containing endless power, and they are also the most dependent on weak human beings in the face of terrifying and powerful enemies.
So, for the past countless years. Warrior and magician, of course, are two completely different combat professions, but at the same time, they are also the most tacit pair on the battlefield.
Now, thousands of years later, the Church of the Gods has risen and the magic system has declined. The number of warriors has surpassed that of their former comrades a thousand times, and more and more young people are holding long swords in their hands instead of using rods. However, the pursuit of the mysteries of magic is still deeply rooted in the bone marrow of human beings, like the faintest and deepest imprint, which can never be erased.
So, when Allegri announced that he would teach magic publicly, it wasn't just the down-and-out magicians who made the long journey to the Herseus Valley. There are warriors and even archers who have a desire for magic. It also appears on the way to the river valley. They were armed with swords, but their hearts were filled with a sense of magic.
The number of these warriors is not large, but the obsession is more determined, even if the process of learning magic will be more difficult because of age or foundation, but the most successful achievements are generally higher. At one time, Allegri and Dios, among others, even discussed, on the basis of these defectors. Establish a demon warrior battalion affiliated with the mercenary group, but then there are many things. They put the matter aside for the time being.
However, it is precisely because of this that Allegri and Illo did not express too many doubts about the reasons given by Dargnan. Although they still maintained a certain degree of vigilance, the two finally accepted each other's statement for the time being.
Dargnon secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that there were not many discrepancies in the information he had gathered in advance. A little bit God. He began to glance invisibly at the inside of the carriage. When he was still at the city gate, Illo's vigilant reaction left a deep impression on Dargnan, and since he already knew that the other party was a high-level ranger, he didn't bother to probe anymore. Allegri, on the other hand, was the main target of his operation. A great mage is also the biggest threat to his own safety, so it attracts the vast majority of his attention.
Allegri seemed to be very weak and faltering in his movements, but he was not surprised that this was a common problem among magicians. Having slipped into the carriage and successfully dispelled suspicions, Dargnan was now only a few steps away from Allegri, a distance from which he was sure to inflict fatal damage on him. Of course, the premise of this speculation is that Allegri did not lay a high-level magic shield in advance.
He waited a moment, thinking in his heart, and decided that it would be best to explore for a while to find out if the other party had released the magic shield.
After that, he will be able to choose the most appropriate assassination method according to the situation in the carriage. On the premise of making sure that nothing goes wrong, it is best for him to kill Allegri with one blow before he can react, otherwise the counterattack of the other two will be enough to drink a pot of his own. Moreover, according to his understanding, many magicians have means of fighting such as self-detonation, especially Allegri is also a great magician of the fire system, once he launches this kind of spell that will end in the same end, a radius of tens of meters will turn into powder, and even if he escapes quickly, it will be difficult to escape.
"Where are you from, what did you do before?" Allegri asked softly, smiling slightly at Dalgnan, who was still a little reserved. In fact, he is younger than the other party, but everyone treats him as a great magician on weekdays, which makes him subconsciously feel that he is an elder.
"My name is Ados, and I was a mercenary warrior in the Torm Federation before," Dargnon casually said a name, which was also one of the legitimate identities he used to disguise on weekdays, and he didn't seem to need any thought, he explained respectfully, "Although I have always practiced martial arts, but I have a yearning for the mysteries of magic, and after hearing the news that the master is going to teach magic publicly, I wanted to go to the Herseus Valley to study, but I only recently completed the contract with the mercenary group, so I rushed over immediately." ”
"Oh, that's right," Allegri nodded, casually asking, "and how did you learn about magic, did you have a certain foundation before?"
"When I was a child, I accidentally got a broken ancient magic book, from which I taught myself some superficial meditation methods and a few simple spells," Speaking of magic, Dargnan's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright brilliance, he subconsciously leaned forward, and asked with a shy smile, "Speaking of which, I happen to have a question related to magic, master, can you solve my puzzles?"
"Okay. Allegri was also interested, and sat up, not paying attention to the distance between this young man who was determined to learn and himself getting closer and closer. (To be continued......)
