Chapter 43: The Devil's Calamity
"So, what about your answer? Red Rose. "The 'Silver Mask' increases the mana output of 'Magical Deterrence', pressing on the pensive stalker girl step by step.
"Yes, I see. Be assured that my devotion to the Lady of Shadow has never wavered. "Lucy came back to her senses from the 'Magical Deterrence' and respectfully expressed her loyalty.
"I believe it's useless, you have to make the people above believe it. But it's good that you think so, and I hope you remember what you said today. "The 'Silver Mask' nodded in satisfaction as if he had received a satisfactory answer. At the same time, the 'magic shock' was reined in, and the originally dignified air in the room became a little lighter.
Lucy was secretly relieved at this point.
Although he interrupted her perception of the use of advanced skills in magic, but at the same time, she was also saved by him once, and she still had some respect and gratitude for her boss in her heart. You must know that being shrouded in this place full of malicious magical elements for a long time is extremely harmful to ordinary people and even most professions except magicians.
The magic of different characteristics is harmful to almost all humanoids, and these aggressive magic elements will attach to the surface of the creature's skin or enter the body through the respiratory tract, and the body of the creature will be modified in favor of the magical elements of this attribute, and this modification is almost always harmful to the living thing.
Those so-called demonized animals and demonized plants were all eroded by the magic element, and thus the body was transformed by the magic element, which became that strange and almost irrational state. Although he has obtained a liliang that is far more powerful than his peers, he has almost lost his original wisdom and has become irritable and aggressive, and only those who have been inherited for several generations or even dozens of generations can gradually regain their intelligence and reason.
And after a humanoid creature is infected by a magic element, if it is an ordinary person, it will be completely infected within three days to a year, depending on the situation, and become a so-called demon person. This process of transforming into a demon is called 'demonization'.
And this kind of demonization is recorded in almost all the books of the intelligent race, and it is called the 'Demon Calamity'.
And among them, humans have the greatest chance of this happening.
The first is that humans are the most numerous than other humanoids, accounting for almost half of all intelligent creatures on the entire continent.
The second reason is that humans are relatively less resistant to magic, such as dwarves and high elves are almost unaffected by magic, while creatures with strong undead or magical powers, such as vampires, werewolves, trolls, witches, and lichs, are absolutely unaffected.
But that was tens of thousands of years ago, and now the magic has gradually become gentler and less harmful because of the management of Ms. 'Misterfair'.
However, from time to time, there will still be 'demonic disasters' on the mainland, and the largest proportion of 'demonic disasters' are all maliciously released by professionals to demonize ordinary people or low-level professionals who are weaker than them. ‘
This kind of event will not happen to high-level professionals, after all, the 'magic power' of high-level professionals is very high, enough to resist anyone's magic element. And the middle and low-level professions depend on the strength of the enemy.
If the duration of 'Magical Awe' is longer, maybe with Lucy's seventh-level Stalker, he may not be able to withstand the process of 'demonization'.
You must know that 'Magical Deterrence' is a relatively common way of 'demonization', after all, it releases a lot of malicious magic elements.
So, let's get back to business. The Silver Mask returned to his usual flirtatious tone and questioned Lucy, "You and the target must have met each other, right?" ”
These are the main reasons why this 'Silver Mask' who has not been seen for many years is here on purpose, and others, such as the previous warning to her, are probably just incidental. Lucy slandered the person in front of her in her head, but her face was completely unmoved, after all, the red mask that was usually used to hide her expression had already been put away by this time.
"Back to you, my lord, I actually didn't have a direct meeting with that target at all. As soon as she said a beginning, Lucy couldn't help but look up at the expression of the man in front of her, and saw that his demeanor had not changed much, so she breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
"But even if I hadn't met him, I knew it wasn't an enemy I could fight. The first time I realized that he was around me, my soul and body were the first to tell me one word, and that was 'escape'. And my body faithfully carries out this supreme and only command. ”
While the girl recounted her impressions of the priest, she recalled the scene at that time, and the scenes that were deeply imprinted in the depths of the girl's soul kept pouring out, and the fear that came from the depths of the soul made Lucy's body tremble involuntarily, and even made an unpleasant "creaking" sound of teeth colliding.
"So you're scared away without knowing anything?!" Mr. 'Silver Mask' still maintains a flirtatious demeanor. Although his words still sounded like a joke, his tone unconsciously intensified.
"Uh......" Lucy blushed and was speechless.
But she was not convinced.
It's just that you haven't faced that monster head-on, that's why you said it so easily, you have the ability to try it yourself, I'm going to see how you behave." ’
Of course she wouldn't say it in front of him at this time, she wasn't that stupid.
But Lucy, who was thinking about this at the moment, would never have thought that her thoughts would not know which true god she had touched, and it would basically come true in the near future, but it is unknown whether the result would meet Lucy's wishes.
Our Mr. 'Silver Mask' was teasing Lucy, and his tone was full of mockery for Lucy.
But in fact, his evaluation of Kellius, the country priest, has been constantly improved through Lucy's description. As a direct boss, he still knows and affirms Lucy's girl's abilities.
'This target was able to leave such a deep and almost soul-deep fear effect on Red Rose without direct contact, this priest seems to be very tricky!' Mr. Silver Mask sighed in his heart, determined to make a change in his original actions.
"It seems that you don't have any more information, so this time your mission is over, and you will be here for the rest of the time. The man in the half-silver mask really couldn't get any more information, and the girl in front of him really didn't have anything more to say, so he decided to end the conversation.
"Then, I'll go first, and you wait for the order. Seeing that Lucy didn't mean to speak, the 'Silver Mask' took the other half of the silver mask that she had taken out of her bosom.
"Click. "With the sound of two halves merging, the 'Silver Mask' jumped out of the bedroom window and disappeared into the silent night sky.
In a small, empty, dusty room, Lucy Pell sat alone at the head of her bed, gazing out the window at the bright moon.
