Chapter 165: Darkness Entangled
As the chief archmage of the previous generation of the kingdom of Reims, Iliad Aika is the earliest surviving person to advance to the rank of archmage. And it is rumored that he is only a millimeter away from stepping into the realm of the Holy Magister. With the title of "Wind God", he naturally has a very high attainment in wind magic. When Parsa was young, she was taught by Eliad, and Jona was proficient in ancient Gaia and some ancient magic.
"If you join, then the strength of our side will be greatly improved. "Byron's mood is like that of a cruise ship through stormy seas, and now when he sees the wind and the sun is beautiful, the meaning of the wind gods is that they no longer have to worry about any hole cards that Parsa does not know about, and the most important point is that the truth about the king's murder may be revealed. Joshua felt the thoughts of the crowd at this time, and he couldn't help but rejoice. "Isn't it that I, as the king, will lead everyone to defeat that fellow named Parsa, so that I can pass this test? It's a name that I think is so familiar, and it seems that in the eyes of the Vulcan, he should be an out-and-out bad guy. ”
As the lord, Frem hurriedly instructed his subordinates to catch the wind for Eliad, and especially instructed them to prepare his favorite Isaro stew. "Haha, you don't have to prepare so many things for me. I'm here to help you solve all kinds of problems. ”
Byron quickly pulled the magic crystal out of his arms. "Lord Anemo, this is the remnants of the magic we gathered from my brother's corpse at the risk of death. Byron said, "The crystals that Jona gave me can measure all kinds of powerful magic. But we sneaked into the Prime Minister's Tower to examine the body of the Holy King and found that he had no wounds on his body. The ultimatum guò magic crystal collected the black gas at the place of his navel. I suppose it was the truth that took the king's life?" Byron was desperate to learn the truth about the king's murder. Only when the real culprit is found can their plan to counterattack Floating City become famous.
"Ruona is really getting better and better, and she can actually make such an invention. Mistress Eliad said with a smile, "However, the magic crystal does not show the name of the magic to which this black gas belongs, so it means that this magic Ruona herself has not personally touched it." ”
"For a mage of Ruona's level, there is only one possibility of magic that has not been personally touched......" At this time, Frem on the side also thought of something. "Ranol-sama is talking about dark magic, right?" Joshua couldn't help but exclaim. Apparently he had learned what was really going on in Eliad's heart. As long as he belonged to the same faction as him in this experience, he could grasp the voices of these people, and this may be the key he needed to grasp in order to pass the final test, right?
Eliad glanced at Joshua. "How do you know about dark magic, or do you know how to read minds?"
"Uh, nothing! I've just heard that Parsa guy and his men talk about dark magic before. Joshua hurriedly made up a lie and rounded it out. At least he didn't have the courage to try to debunk the unexpected consequences that would happen after a qiē truth. Of course, maybe the people in this parallel world will think of him as drunk, talking nonsense, or having his brain stimulated.
"I look so familiar with you, boy," Eliad said suddenly. "You won't be His Royal Highness, will you? Oh no, it may be His Majesty the King now. ”
"You really read that right. He is none other than the current king, His Majesty. Byron said, "It is precisely because His Majesty the King chose to believe in me and Geraint that I was able to survive and come to everyone. ”
Eliad hurriedly laughed. "Your Majesty the King was so offended just now, please forgive me for being dizzy!"
"Lord Fengshen, you are the elder of all of us, so there is nothing wrong with speaking to the juniors like this. Joshua hurriedly gestured. "With you on board, the morale of all of us is very high. ”
"Let's get back to business, Aeolus. Byron placed the crystal into Eliade's hands, "Do you think so, is it an evil dark magic that killed my brother?"
Eliad placed one of his hands on the crystal. "Wind Elf, help me navigate through the interior of magic and gain insight into the source of the wind!"
"You see, the Wind God's beard and hair stand on end. Joshua looked at Eliad, who was casting his magic spell on the crystal with his eyes closed, and felt very amused.
"Shhhhh Tim whispered in Joshua's ear.
"Ahh Tim's sultry long hair, slightly flickered by the cyclone created by Eliade's magic, pressed against Joshua's face. Since in this world, it is rumored that he is the most compatible with Hainar and Tim, and they may both be the candidates for his own queen. Tim's close contact with him made his face flush a little.
"What a cunning fellow. Suddenly, the cyclone around him began to dissipate, and Eliade's hair fell on end. "Sure enough, it's a kind of dark magic from ancient times. He tilted his head slightly, depending on the information that he had mastered the magic. "If nothing else, it's a form of magic called 'Dark Entanglement'. The people who used this magic were very cunning, using a kind of poisonous mist magic as a disguise, but I caught it anyway. ”
"You mean there's a poisonous mist in there?" asked Joshua, "but why does it smell so good?" he felt a sudden scent emanate from the room.
"Poof, Your Majesty, your nose is very sensitive, but it's not the smell of magic, it's the smell of our Izaro stew. Eliad couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that the stew that Frem had ordered to go down and prepare for Eliad had already been prepared and brought up by the attendants. The stew was covered with a milky white color, and it was served on a plate made of hollowed-out old bread. The stew is thick with shallots, barley kernels, white radishes and carrots, as well as red clams, chunks of catfish and crab meat, mixed in a creamy and buttery soup. This is a stew unique to the Isaro region, and it combines the best of the seafood near Red Flame Beach to create an enticing flavor.
"Hehe, let's get down to business first!" Eliad laughed.
"Although Lord Fengshen's expression is very strict, his heart is like a naughty child. Joshua thought to himself.
"And how did the murderer inflict this magic on the Holy King?" Byron then asked.
"The conditions under which the magic of Darkness Coil is performed are harsh. Eliad said, "It takes the caster to build a large barrier and sacrifice the blood of a child and only use it on a single entity." The aura of darkness slowly eroded into the body of the person enveloped by the enchantment, and finally led to the death of the victim. There are almost no signs before death, and the average person seems to have a weak breath and a weak body. ”
"Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the symptoms of the Holy King before his death. Byron said excitedly. "The murderer chose to let my brother die like this, there must be an ulterior secret. ”
"There's another reason why the killer chose this magic because your brother is a legendary descendant of radiance. He possessed a powerful light in him, and ordinary dark magic would not have been able to do anything. He further explained to Byron, "There are very few people who know the attributes of the Holy King Roy's light, so the murderer is among those few people. ”
"By the way, when you talked about enchantments, I remembered another important thing. Byron said. "Before the king was killed, a hellhound sprang out of the garden of the palace. Parsa says it's a demonic creature summoned by dark magic. He asked the king for his order and planted a defensive barrier in the garden, saying that it would prevent further monsters from invading. Now it seems that Yiqiē is a conspiracy that he has been planning for a long time. With that, Byron angrily slammed his fist on the table beside him.
"It's time to make the truth public, so you can clear your name sooner rather than later. Eliad patted Byron on the shoulder, "Actually, thanks to you sneaking into the Floating City in time to contact the corpse of the Holy King, otherwise the dark entwined traces would soon disappear with the dissipation of the poisonous mist magic." When the time comes, there is no proof that he will die. ”
