122. Wake up
"Sometimes I really wonder, Mr. Fisher, are you a parasite in my stomach...... You guys are really fast, I was thinking, what kind of madman could be so bold, they tied people back with the front foot, and the back foot was slapped in the face with a stick, not to mention saving people, and killing those useless wastes......"
"Those are really not our hands—according to the eldest lady, she was already killed by this one when she arrived. ”
"It's not bad - those guys, I guess they didn't take their students very seriously...... Hehe, their students seem to be more hedonistic than them, I heard that their private lives are quite rotten?"
"There is nothing wrong with the teacher lingering on power and status, and the student indulging in the sound of the dog Mali. Fisher relayed the situation of Sivi's complaint to the man in front of him, "They wanted to do such a reluctance to this elf, but they did not expect that the other party still had the strength to fight back, so they were all killed on the spot—very much in line with their daily deaths." ”
It is not surprising that this kind of dregs who tried to drug his eldest lady had such an end.
"Is the identity of the girl you sent to Xiwei's side credible?"
"I can't find out her identity at all, but I learned that Miss Lin has a very close relationship with the Mage Association, and if there is no accident in 4, she should be directly ordered by Master Skasa**. ”
Hearing Skasa's name, a hint of resistance flashed across the man's face.
"Hmph, why did that inactive old guy start meddling this time? I hope that little girl doesn't have the same temperament as the old fox......"
"Do you still hold a grudge against that one?"
"You can't hold a grudge. After all, he didn't have to help me back then...... But if he had been willing to help, it wouldn't be the case now—so I certainly wouldn't be able to get along with him. ”
Fisher is also curiously not on this topic. Too much entanglement.
"Speaking of which, another maid. Did you get in as the girl's sister?" The man suddenly remembered the maid who had almost bumped into him earlier, "It may seem strange to say - I always felt as if I had seen her somewhere......"
"Oh, oh, oh, my lord, are you finally starting to understand this?
“...... It's not like you don't know about my situation. The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and he also seemed a little wolf for his old butler's ridicule, "It's just that I feel familiar, and I don't mean anything else." ”
"That's a shame, I thought I could finally get rid of that embarrassing identity - thanks to you, I've been treated like a for more than a decade. It also pulled the hatred of Ms. Slade. Although I have a good heart and a thick skin, I am no longer afraid of these senseless rumors, but after all, it is still very helpless......"
"Uh...... I'm sorry. I didn't expect that a casual lie told in order to prevaricate someone's invitation ♀ would spread throughout the entire high society overnight......"
Speaking of this, the man also felt quite innocent.
Fisher is not the only one who is treated as a, he is also a lying gun.
"Seriously, Lord, you really don't intend to ...... Huh?"
"Don't others know that you don't know? Mr. Fisher, you used to be a very strict person, how come you have become more and more ...... in recent years? Belch. Got a sense of humor?"
In the past, Mr. Fisher, although he was still some distance from the traditional paralysis of ice cubes, was definitely not a talkative person, let alone making small jokes or something.
"Who makes you have a lot of things to do outside. Miss Shevi was basically brought up by me since she was a child? After spending a long time with the child, it is not a strange thing that the knight's personality has changed, right? If you think that I have changed a lot, it can only be explained. You should take some more time to come back and spend some time with the eldest lady. ”
“......”
"Moham. Lord, are you still afraid of the eldest lady?"
The man stopped talking, just looked out the window in silence.
"If it's time. I'll tell her the truth. ”
"With your character, you won't act until you have to, right? When you say it, I'm afraid that I'll never have the opportunity to serve you again. - You don't have to hide this in front of me, I am old, but I am not so old that I can't even tell if my master is happy. ”
“...... You just have to do your job. ”
"Well, since you said so, I just said too much......"
For a while, between this master and servant, the atmosphere became a little heavy.
But soon, the sudden situation that made them both unable to calm down directly broke the atmosphere of silence. Rao is usually a very well-cultivated Fisher, and after discovering the undisguised movement of magic colliding and exploding from afar, he also seemed panicked.
"There's ......"
It was clearly the direction of the dungeon where he and Sivi had "visited" the elves.
"Oh no, could it be the elven rescuers who have clashed with them, right? I remember, they did seem to be planning to set a trap and wait for the turtle to come in the urn...... Is it really an elf?"
He was sure that the magic that was mixed with the breath of life would never be the handiwork of a human being.
The barrier has been broken, and the aftermath of the fierce battle has spread unabashedly to the surrounding area, and even ordinary people can feel the murderous aura and oppression that is coming. In this place of the imperial capital, to be honest, there is no shortage of open fights, even if the city guards deal with this kind of incident very strictly, they can't stand the habit of "blood and strength" of the majority of people.
In the past, if the two sides of the fight are not the kind of fighting that is easy to hurt others, there will be many good deeds to watch. But this time. But no one tried to find out anymore - not to mention that this aura was completely different from the petty fights of the weak chickens in the past, the place of the fight. It makes everyone stay away.
No one would think of having anything to do with these people fighting in a heavily guarded dungeon.
"What a horrible magic...... What the hell is sacred?"
Except for the obvious magical aura that is characteristic of the elves. The magic of the other person shocked Fisher even more strongly - if the magic of those mages he usually saw felt like a light gas to Fisher, then his own master was already similar to the density of liquid...... And now a mysterious mage who is fighting with those court mages has a sense of oppression that is as thick as iron.
"You can't be wrong, that man...... It's the old fox of Skassa. ”
"This ...... How is this possible?"
Hearing his master's analysis, Fisher's first reaction was disbelief: "That person, how could he take the initiative to stand up and clash with those court mages?"
For a long time, it is said that the mysterious great magician Skasa was active in the founding of the empire. Everyone has the impression that he is a man who does not take care of things, and has been cowering in his own acres and thirds of land all the year round - although there are rumors that he has kept his promise to the first emperor of the empire to protect the country, people really haven't seen much of what he actually did.
Basically, the view that he is a master who cannot escape from the world accounts for the majority...... The other half think that this is a very well-hidden conspirator......
After all, Skasa really doesn't look like he's been paying attention to his image and evaluation.
"Maybe his behavior this time is not good to judge by his past appearance, but there is no doubt about it. This kind of unparalleled density of magic power can only be used by that terrible guy. ”
"Lord, have you ever seen that man make a move?"
“...... I've seen it. ”
This answer was quite unexpected. But after thinking carefully about his Lord's experience, he immediately reacted: "Could it be that time? Lord, the reason why you survived is because this person ......?"
"And yet I still hate him. ”
"Don't dwell on this personal question of likes and dislikes now...... Lord. You think, those 'accomplices' of yours. Can you hold up the ground?"
"Now that the old fox has made a move, I don't think those guys will survive until tomorrow - but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm basically a stranger to these people now, and I just need to serve the current emperor...... This man's ambition is quite large, for him, those court mages have no use value, on the contrary, they are still very eyesore. ”
"But if it weren't for those court mages......"
"I don't care so much anymore, even if that guy isn't a good guy, but without guò his ambitions, I won't be able to achieve my ultimate goal - as for you worry I'll follow in their footsteps...... With that emperor's character, isn't that necessary?"
The current emperor, without a doubt, is a man of extreme insecurity. Compared with using the means of the human heart to control the tools in his hands, he is actually more inclined to control the power over everyone by himself, and he has his own hands to control it. In his opinion, what he can do is not necessary to be handed over to those who do not submit to him.
It is impossible to count on those arrogant dark magicians to look at him.
Therefore, these court mages who are not very obedient and even sometimes want to oppose the guest, after they have no use value, this emperor can't wait to dispose of them quickly.
As for the Mage Guild...... In the eyes of this emperor, if the plan is a qiē shun lì, soon, even that legendary mage, it will be the tears of the times.
"But as long as he hasn't achieved his goals and ambitions, I'm safe for the time being. ”
In the man's eyes, inadvertently, there was already a trace of madness. Fisher saw it, but he didn't say much—if his words had been useful, things wouldn't have turned out the way they are today.
The lord of his own family has already entered a somewhat paranoid state.
"Now that the old fox of Skasa has already made a move, then I think the emperor will also step up his time and action. Fisher, there is no need to deal with those court mages anymore, in two days. You just have to find an opportunity to disband all the people here, but leave the imperial capital with Xiwei. ”
"Which emperor do you think. Will you let us survive?"
"That's why I'm here - I can make that person succeed and gain power that humans never dared to think of. In the same way, I have a way to make him fall from the clouds into the abyss. ”
......
"By 'power', is that the great darkness that lies beneath this city?"
"You ——!"
The man looked in astonishment in the direction where the voice came from—on the bed beside him, the seriously injured elf woman had already woken up, dragged her seriously injured body, and sat up from the bed.
When did the elf wake up?
"There's no need to be so nervous...... It was only during the time when my consciousness was deep in my soul that I felt the incongruous dark aura from below. If this is a secret at all. It hasn't been spread to the territory of the elves. ”
"If you say all this, aren't you worried that you won't be able to return to the Elven Forest? Let's talk about it first, we rescued you just because we wanted to destroy the arrangements of those court mages, and there is no noble reason. ”
"But you don't have a reason to kill me either, do you? I can feel that your heart is full of self-destructive tendencies, and you are not the kind of person who cares about the rights and wrongs between humans and elves...... Ahem—"
Luna couldn't help the itching in her lungs and coughed dryly.
- The internal organs are quite strict.
"I'm sorry. Can you give me a glass of water?"
"You really don't think of yourself as an outsider - don't you feel flustered as a woman and wake up with only two men around you? Or are the elves so open and calm?"
For this issue. Luna just gave the man a meaningful look.
"It's very, very well hidden, but it's counting on being in the presence of an experienced Guardian. Disguise to hide the past, that's not okay. Ultimately. You just change the outward image, the essence of something. Hasn't changed...... Lady. ”
As soon as the words fell, the lips of the "man", who had been calm before, moved slightly, and in the next second, a black hand emerged from the void, and lightning grabbed at Luna - the target was very clear, it was her neck that was now almost defenseless!
"Lord!"
Seeing his own master, he was about to use the killer after his identity was exposed, and Fisher was completely too late to stop it.
However, the black hand was unable to reach Luna's neck.
"Direct...... I caught it with my hand!?"
The black magic with its powerful corrosive and destructive abilities is enough to kill even those powerful magicians with a single slap in their bodies. This is not a collection of elements gathered by the black mage's own ability, but a high-power spell that can only be achieved with the help of the power of a powerful evil being, and theoretically, it is normal for this elf, who is still very weak, to be killed directly by this blow.
The little bit of anti-magic power that the elves were born with is no different from paper paste in front of them!
However, this elven woman, whose body was so badly injured that she didn't even have the strength to get out of bed, effortlessly used a finger to resist the black poisonous claw, preventing it from advancing at all?
"The same loss, one time is enough. ”
Luna, who had already been pitted by this strange evil force once, would feel that she would not have the face to go back to her father and fellow villagers if she planted it again.
In fact, it was precisely because of this strange evil force that Luna was so lightly able to discover the ancient and vast dark power hidden beneath this human city—the two clearly shared common characteristics.
The dark power was huge, and even though Luna had fallen into a coma due to the excessive weakness of her body, her consciousness was inevitably entangled by this powerful dark power, and she could not rest at all.
The feeling that the consciousness could not even perceive its own physical condition, and could only be immersed in the dark power, was simply torture for an elven guardian who hated evil. This even reminds Luna of being locked up in a dark room for being naughty when she was still a child.
Of course, it is not completely without gains and benefits......
Thanks to it. Luna has also basically figured out the characteristics and nature of the evil force that has severely damaged her body—the dark power born of a huge collective negative mind, which is indeed difficult to deal with. This has been illustrated in my previous experience. However, when Luna figured out the essence of the dark power. It's not that hard to find a way to deal with it.
The dark forces that arise from negative thoughts can themselves be weakened by positive wills, but the power they use does not come from themselves, but rather a collective collection of consciousness, which is too great relative to the will of a single individual. So much so that it is no longer possible to interfere with the will of the individual.
But this is for the average person.
As the guardian of her predecessor, Luna has a strong enough soul and a strong will, and in terms of personality, she can also be called the type of moral model of the elves. Even though she has almost no fighting strength now, she can suppress this alternative black magic that the other party has unleashed just by relying on her own spirit and will.
After all, this is not the essence of the dark being—"quality" is indeed guaranteed, but it is not enough in terms of "quantity".
"The key to driving this dark power. It's 'negative thoughts', not 'obsessions'. Although your soul has been filthy enough, it has not degenerated to the point of being so strict - if you really want to kill me, don't use this kind of trick...... The level of the half-hanger. But it can't defeat me. ”
"Yes, thanks for the reminder, how about I kill you in a different way?"
The "man" whose identity was revealed by Luna did not restrain himself. Probably because Luna made her feel a sense of crisis after her identity was exposed, and she is now. It seems that I really want to deal with this aftermath right here, forever.
[Her obsession is really deep...... What the hell is it. Can she barely keep her sane?]
Luna found that she seemed to be looking away—the person in front of her was clearly the kind of person who was so obsessed that she could barely turn back......!
"Lord, please calm down a little......
"Long-winded! If you stop me again with your potion, I will ...... you too."
"Lord, please calm down. ”
This time, Fisher was not just using words to dissuade his master—he was now holding a sharp sword in his hand, and he had put the blade of the sword on his master's neck. Although he didn't make any further moves, the icy cold air seeping out of the blade made Luna on the hospital bed feel it clearly.
This old man is clearly also a rare sword master.
"If you continue to be emotional, then I may have some more offensive behavior. ”
[Oh oh oh! Is this the legendary "the following can be on"!?]
Although the butler's behavior can be called rude and offensive, it seems that the other party still has a good idea of this trick - the "man" has given up the idea of continuing to entangle Luna.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to wash my face and calm down. ”
......
"I'm sorry, my lord, she's not usually like this. ”
"Ah, I'll have to review that, too—I didn't think it would seem so important to her to disguise herself as a man...... That posture is clearly intended to kill people and kill people, right? It's also something I don't think about. ”
She nearly lost her head when she woke up, but Luna didn't look nervous at all.
"Are you the ones who rescued me from that dungeon?"
"Although it is true that we are the ones who instruct us, it is the eldest lady of our family who really implements it - if you want to thank her. ”
Fisher also didn't expect this elven woman to wake up so quickly, and quickly took the opportunity to secretly throw all the credit on Xiwei's head - if he can have a good relationship with the elves, then the safety of our eldest lady will not have to worry about it in the future.
"That'...... That's great......"
Luna was also in a relaxed mood - her wolf appearance in the dungeon, if it was just for a girl to see, it would be good.
Soon, Luna's attention was drawn to the movement in the distance.
"Whew! this power...... Is it Lilou?"
- This kid rushed over so recklessly!?(To be continued......
