Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 218 Mirage
"Do you know what you are doing? How can you be so rude? Do you know what crime it is to offend the maids in the Goddess Palace?!" The male assistant who was thrown away rushed over and roared.

Lin Ran gently embraced Ye Xinxia and said, "She is my girlfriend, I can kiss her however I want."

"Your girlfriend? Damn it, I'm the Parthenon Guard Knight Cullen. I will never allow you to insult my maid in the Temple of the Goddess like this. I want to duel with you, right now." The male assistant who claimed to be Cullen suddenly shouted loudly.

Lin Ran revealed the badge that Mira had taken from him.

Cullen opened his mouth slightly. He was not an ignorant person. He knew what this badge represented. It was the badge of an acting angel. The Holy City was an existence that was superior to the temple.

"Kulun, don't be so sensitive. He is my Lin Ran. I mentioned this to you before." Xinxia explained softly at this time.

"I understand." Cullen calmed down. The status of the acting angel was much higher than Ye Xinxia's current status, so they should be considered to be marrying above their station.

Lin Ran put Ye Xinxia on the wheelchair and said, "Mo Fan is here too, and of course Xiaoxue is here too. Let's go meet them."

Ye Xinxia nodded.

After a while, Lin Ran brought Ye Xinxia to Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue.

At this time, Nan Rongni also came over. She first glanced at Mu Ningxue, and then looked at Xinxia.

"Are you really from the Temple of the Goddess of the Parthenon?" Nan Rongni asked seriously at this time.

"I will be considered an official member only after this internship is over. Now I'm just an intern." Ye Xinxia replied, without any offensive pride in her tone.

"Oh, oh..." Nan Rongni responded a few times, but it could be seen that she was a little absent-minded.

But Mu Ningxue didn't pay much attention to it. She asked Xinxia why she was here.

It was really a coincidence.

"It's a practical internship. Our students at the Parthenon Academy are now entering the annual assessment. All students from all academies, including foreign students, need to participate. Only after completing their studies at the academy can they officially join the Parthenon and become temple mages. Not long ago, a mirage appeared here. The people of Egypt frequently fought wars with the undead, so we from the Temple Academy were sent here, hoping to help as many people as possible who were injured in the war with the undead." Xinxia said.

"What a coincidence! Our national team was also sent here. There may be people from other academies who have entered Egypt as well. They are just not in the same Egyptian city as us. It's a bit noisy here, so let's go talk somewhere else." Mu Ningxue said.

Mu Ningxue hasn't seen Ye Xinxia for a long time.

On the other side, as soon as Xinxia left, Mo Fan started arguing with the man named Kulun.

The quarrel between the two was actually very simple. Mo Fan felt that Kulun had ill intentions, so he felt uncomfortable all over.

Ye Xinxia is his sister!
Kulun was also very dissatisfied. It was okay for Lin Ran, after all, Lin Ran was a substitute angel, but who was this Mo Fan?
……

"Brother Mo Fan, Kulun is the Guard Knight of the Guard Hall of the Parthenon. In the Parthenon, every member of the Goddess Hall has such a Guard Knight. Now Kulun is just fulfilling his duty as a Guard Knight. You should stop making things difficult for him." Xinxia found it a little funny when she noticed Mo Fan's unhappy look.

"After all, Mo Fan is just a child." Lin Ran couldn't help but say.

Ye Xinxia smiled gently.

"I didn't make things difficult for him. He just didn't understand. I told him about our relationship, but he said I was talking nonsense and even threatened to sanction me. Is this the only idiot you have in the Parthenon?" Mo Fan said angrily.

"The temple does not prohibit this." Ye Xinxia said.

“Next time, don’t look for this kind of weird person. You can tell at a glance that he’s not a good person.” Mo Fan said.

"This is the arrangement of the temple. If it's not suitable, I will apply for a replacement." Xinxia said

"Are there any female knights?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.

Lin Ran: “…”

Lin Ran already knew that Mo Fan would be like this.

"Master Xinxia, ​​a man with his abdomen ripped open has been sent here. We hope you can save him. He became like this because he was trying to help us lure away the undead." A rescuer ran over, sweating profusely, and said to Xinxia.

Xinxia glanced at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran looked towards the bed in the white tent, and found a man in his thirties bleeding profusely, and it looked like he would die soon.

"We'll go with you." Mo Fan said at this time.

Lin Ran wanted to be intimate with Ye Xinxia for a while, but now it was obvious that there was no chance.

But it can be seen that Xinxia is unable to leave now. There are too many patients sent here, and their lives are at stake. Naturally, Lin Ran cannot continue to occupy Xinxia and talk about love there. He just has to be patient and let Xinxia settle these patients. There is still time to be gentle with her later.

……

Lin Ran and Mo Fan came back after sending Ye Xinxia to the place.

“I am not well educated, please don’t tease me. Does a mirage really pose a threat?” Mo Fan couldn’t help but ask, looking at the people with serious expressions.

Mirage, isn't it just a phenomenon? From a scientific point of view, it is the light that passes through the atmosphere of different densities and then refracts, which leads to a deviation in vision.

Mo Fan admitted that he didn't have a very deep understanding of the magic world, but he was at least a well-educated science student! A mirage is just an illusion. Even if it really exists, it is definitely not where they see it. But why would such a thing that looks like a huge refracting slide have such a huge impact on this Egyptian city, and even the international community has begun to issue aid orders? ?
There were many wounded soldiers in Pushini City, and mages from different factions came and went more frequently. It looked like a city of war, somewhat similar to the East Sea City in the island country before. But the question was, why could an illusory shadow caused by light cause so much unrest in many Egyptian cities? ?
"If anyone of you has time, please explain it again to this guy who always leaves the team without permission. We still have to discuss what to do next." Guan Yu said with obvious impatience.

By the time Lin Ran and Mo Fan went to accompany Xinxia, ​​they had made quite a bit of progress and had a clearer idea of ​​what was going on here.

"Mo Fan, you should know the relationship between the pyramids and the undead, right?" Jiang Yu asked.

Mo Fan quickly shook his head. To be honest, he was very interested in the Egyptian Kingdom of the Dead, but he knew nothing about it.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but pat his forehead. Why did he wade into this mess? Now he had to tell Mo Fan the whole story from the beginning.

"It's probably like this. The ghosts of Egypt are slightly different from the ghosts of our ancient capital. The difference mainly lies in their activity areas. The ghosts of our ancient capital usually appear in the dark, and they gather wherever the death aura is strong. But the ghosts of Egypt surround the pyramids from beginning to end, because the pyramids are the tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. The pharaohs were actually the extremely powerful city-state masters in the slave era. They were equivalent to a lord who held the power of life and death over all people. Each of these pharaohs was powerful, and even after death, they had to be guarded by countless people. So they used their tombs and pyramids as the center of the curse, and then let all the living beings buried and died nearby be reborn. The price is that they must guard around their tombs and pyramids forever." Jiang Yu started with a general history.

Mo Fan and Lin Ran both listened very carefully.

The undead spirits that exist in the ancient capital will transform and awaken again after death because of the nourishment of death energy. However, this is closely related to Qin King Ying Zheng's search for immortality. His so-called immortality is to abandon the sunlight and live in darkness forever!

However, the undead in Egypt seem to originate from curse magic, and curse is also magic created by the Egyptian pharaohs. They derived the undead system through the curse system, which perfectly coincides with the immortality technique of King Qin Ying Zheng.

It takes two to tango. It is estimated that the undead system will be officially incorporated into the orthodox magic system. It is precisely because the two ancient countries with splendid civilizations, ancient China and ancient Egypt, jointly created the magic of the undead. Otherwise, the undead system would probably be included in the ranks of forbidden techniques.

"In other words, these Egyptian undead will only move around in the territory near the pyramids? This is actually not bad. As long as their city is built in a territory without pyramids, they will basically not invade each other with these Egyptian undead!" Mo Fan said.

"Yes, in fact, Egypt has always done this, especially in modern times. All their cities have now moved out of the pyramid area. Normally, the residents here in Egypt will not be harassed by the undead. However, many ancient families and old hunters will break into the pyramid territory from time to time. They search for the treasures left by the pharaohs of the past, because people have always believed that there are mountains of treasures in the pyramids. If one or two can be taken out, they must be priceless. After all, the ancient pharaohs created the curse system and the undead system together... Then they must have magical things that contain huge energy." Jiang Yu's eyes are shining now. Obviously, he also wants to get these things from the pyramids.

“So what does this have to do with mirages?” Mo Fan nodded and returned to the topic.

"The pyramids are the habitats of the dead, and the cities are the city-states of the living. As long as there is no deliberate interference, there will be no harm. But nature cannot allow the pyramids and cities to remain peaceful forever. After all, mirages will suddenly appear." Jiang Yu said.

As he said this, Jiang Yu took Mo Fan to the top of Nancheng Mountain.

Lin Ran also walked over.

Behind the white tent venue on Nancheng Mountain, there is a tall observation tower. Jiang Yu led Mo Fan and Lin Ran to the bottom of the observation tower.

"Go up and look towards the north and you'll know." Jiang Yu said, pointing to the top of the watchtower.

Mo Fan was skeptical, then he transformed into an invisible shadow bird and quickly reached the top of the watchtower, following the outer wall of the tower at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Ran arrived before Mo Fan.

Lin Ran explained his identity to Mo Fan and the guard, then looked in the direction Jiang Yu mentioned.

This is the area with the best view in the city of Puschini. They looked towards the loess land on the outskirts of the city, and then found a golden building standing there, shining with strange light in the sun!
The sun was shining brightly, and the warm sunlight fell on the city, but when the sunlight entered the pyramid territory, it reflected a weird and cold feeling. It felt like the sunlight also became bleak and eerie purple because of the existence of the pyramid!

“No… isn’t it said that the nearest pyramid is two hundred kilometers away from here? Does this mean that two hundred kilometers is just a short distance for you?” Mo Fan stared at the pyramid with a weird aura and couldn’t help himself.

The pyramid was extremely magnificent. Although it was just a solitary stone building of only fifty meters in height with stepped points, it gave off a great sense of oppression of an ancient city-state that could accommodate thousands of troops. Instead, the city of Puschini now seemed small and vulnerable!
Lin Ran couldn't help but say, "This is a mirage. Perhaps these Egyptian ghosts mistook the mirage for a pyramid, so they gathered here and clashed with the people here."

Mo Fan looked at Lin Ran in surprise and said, "Is that so? If this mirage appears in the city, will the undead enter the city? This is definitely a very terrifying thing."

Lin Ran nodded and said, "Yes."

Then the mirage pyramid appeared in the city, and the undead would definitely attack the city. He had experienced the undead attacking the city before, so he understood very well how terrifying these undead were.

Lin Ran and Mo Fan took a look and went down together.

This is followed by a short free time.

Lin Ran wanted to go see Ye Xinxia.

Mu Nujiao stood beside Mu Ningxue and asked, "Does Lin Ran care about Ye Xinxia?"

Mu Ningxue looked at Lin Ran's leaving back and then said, "Yeah."

She recalled some things from her childhood. Ye Xinxia had always been weak and fragile, so she would receive extra care from Lin Ran and Mo Fan. This was something she envied when she was a child.

Mo Fan also ran out at this time.

He ran to Lin Ran and said, "Let's go and see Xinxia together."

"You'll be in the way if you go." Lin Ran couldn't help but say.

"I'm just here to get in the way." Mo Fan said confidently.

Lin Ran silently raised his middle finger and said, "You want to attract the attention of the female knight, right? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking."

Mo Fan said cheerfully: "Aren't you worried about a handsome guy appearing next to Xinxia? Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's true that I feel a little uncomfortable." Lin Ran said.
