Start with the Wizarding World

Chapter 73 The group of people called wizards

Mountain capital, city lord's palace.

Elsa sat on the main seat in the reception room, looking at the elder of the Lanis family, Raf, who was in charge of this marriage, and said calmly:
"I don't know what your plan is. Of course, it's none of my business. In the end, I just owe you a favor, so you agreed to conduct this marriage in my name."

"What do you want to express?" asked the elder of the Laf clan of the Lanis family with a frown.

"It's very simple. Remember to tell my nominal fiancé clearly that he has to recognize his identity when he comes here. Don't do anything to make me unhappy, otherwise I can't guarantee that he can return alive."

"Elsa, you are too presumptuous!" The Laf elder of the Lanis family was embarrassed by Elsa's tone and said angrily.

He is a golden knight after all, and is respected wherever he goes, but Elsa almost flew a dragon to her face just now, how could he not be angry!
"Is it outrageous?" Aisha said with a smile, "I think it's okay. If I really wanted to be outrageous, I would just cancel this marriage. Do you dare to touch a hair on my head, my respected Lord Raff?"

"you!"

This elder of the Laf tribe who was so powerful outside could only feel helpless and furious in his heart, because... he really didn't dare to touch a hair of Elsa.

Elsa's identity is not just a direct member of the Pound family.

Her father is the current Lord of Mountain City and is recognized as one of the top fighters. His strength is definitely at the top level even among the gold level!
Her mother is the aunt of the current Storm Emperor. Although she is not as strong as her father, she is also a veteran Golden Knight.

In the entire Storm Empire, except for those princes who are very likely to compete for the throne, it can be said that no one has a stronger background than her!

Therefore, although Laf was furious, facing this little ancestor who really could not be provoked, he could only force out a smile and said, "Sorry, I lost my temper before. Don't worry, I will definitely convey your words to him."

"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Raff." Elsa said with a casual smile.

Although he said thank you for your help, his tone was not even perfunctory. But Laf had no choice but to endure it so as not to waste all his efforts.

"Miss, the remnants of the evil gods have actually taken action in advance!" A guard from the City Lord's Mansion suddenly trotted in and reported.

Raph obviously hadn't received the information yet. After hearing the news, he immediately said to Aisha: "Then I'll take my leave first."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Elsa said with a faint smile.

After Raf left, a graceful woman who looked a bit like Elsa but was a little older than her walked out from the inner room of the reception room.

If Rex was here, he would recognize that this graceful woman was none other than Elsa's mother, his aunt - Robin Doragg!

"Mother." Elsa stepped forward and took the woman's arm.

"Laf is a golden knight after all. You should at least give him some face." The graceful woman looked at her daughter helplessly.

"Who asked you all to be riddlers? No one can tell me what's going on when I ask you. So I have no choice but to take it out on him." Elsa pouted.

Upon hearing this, the graceful lady was silent for a moment before she asked, "Do you really want to know?"

"Of course I do. Otherwise, why would I keep asking?" Aisha said.

"Well, it's okay to tell you. You will know some things sooner or later." The graceful woman pondered, "This matter was actually proposed by the Lanis family. They need a bloody feast, and they paid a high price for it. There is no reason for us to refuse."

"The Lanis family needs a bloody feast..." Elsa's expression changed slightly when she heard this, "Could it be that they are colluding with the remnants of the evil god?"

"No, your question is not quite accurate. What you should ask is which family has not colluded with the remnants of the evil god?" The graceful woman sneered.

When Elsa heard this, her body stiffened instantly.

……

In front of the Bronze Bell Tavern.

At this moment, Rorschach was like a dancing butterfly, constantly turning and moving, easily avoiding every attack from the second state's peak gluttony walking.

He learned from his previous lesson and did not attack with all his strength right away like he did when he defeated the first Gluttonous Walker.

At this moment, he was quickly adapting to the feeling of using the True Prison Eyes in actual combat, and the effect could only be described as unexpectedly powerful!
The specific effect here is not from the Eye of True Sight, but from the Eye of Purgatory.

Judging from the current situation, the effect of the Eye of True Vision is indeed unreasonable, but it is also relatively simple, which is to simply observe information and cause and effect.

But when it comes to actual combat, it is far less useful than the Eye of Purgatory.

The two have different focuses.

Before this, Rorschach mainly used the Eye of Purgatory's delusion-breaking effect, and only at this time did he gradually discover its other uses.

But seeing that Abel was about to finish the battle, Rorschach didn't waste any more time, "Well, it's time to end the game—"

Rorschach, who had become completely serious, seized an offensive loophole of the Gluttony Walker at the peak of the second state with his True Prison Eyes and rushed forward directly!

But he saw that his hand turned into a bone blade and stabbed it fiercely into the chin of the second-level peak gluttonous walking being, directly lifting it up and smashing it down again!
His hand was like a huge steel nail at this moment, nailing the second state of Gluttony Walking firmly to the ground!

Without giving the other party a chance to resist, Rorschach covered his forehead with one hand and directly pulled his soul into the Eye of True Prison!

This was also the most convenient method Rorschach had found after conducting a large number of experiments. He used the Eye of the True Prison as a cage to temporarily store these harvested souls.

In this way, he doesn't have to carry these "fuels" around anymore. As long as his soul hasn't collapsed, it can provide him with an endless supply of despair power! However, to do this, there is also a prerequisite, that is, the target must be alive and have no power to resist.

Previously, when Rorschach defeated the first Glutton Walker, he accidentally killed the man, so he didn't have time to extract his soul.

Naturally, he would not make the same mistake a second time.

Soon, Rorschach dealt with the three gluttonous walkers that Abel had defeated one by one, then looked at Teach and said:
"Wash the floor——"

"Yes, yes!" Teach responded quickly.

Rorschach then took Abel to the back of the hotel, where were the masks and cloaks the two had used last time, as well as Rorschach's number one thug, Ah Dai.

……

"I know you find it hard to accept, but this is the truth."

Looking at her frozen daughter, the graceful lady sighed and said, "I didn't tell you this before because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that with the power of the three empires, if they really want to completely wipe out these evil gods, they won't have any chance of reviving at all."

"What's the reason? There has to be a reason, right?" Elsa still couldn't believe it.

"Isn't what you are witnessing now the reason?" The graceful woman said calmly, "Without these evil remnants, there would be no bloody feast. No one wants to be the bad guy, but they can't give up the great temptation..."

"What temptation?"

"Of course it's the temptation of prolonging life. You know, even the Golden Knight only has a lifespan of 180 years." said the graceful woman.

"But what does prolonging life have to do with creating a bloody feast? Could it be that in order to prolong life, each family is secretly offering sacrifices to those evil gods?" Elsa was frightened by her own guess and her face turned pale.

“How is that possible? Even if sacrificing to the evil god can prolong your life, you will just become a monster like the evil god’s offspring, with increasingly confused consciousness. If you really become like that, you might as well die.” The graceful woman shook her head.

"Why is this happening?" Elsa continued to ask.

"There is more than one reason. Some are to exchange for life-extending potions from 'those people', while some...are to take advantage of that glimmer of hope." When the graceful lady said this, her tone sounded a little complicated.

"Life-extending potion, is there such a thing in this world? Why have I never heard of it before? Also, who are those people, and what is the glimmer of hope?" Elsa felt as if her worldview had been overturned.

She thought that based on her background, she knew enough about the Storm Empire and even the entire Grey Region, but her mother's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, waking her up from her original fantasy.

It turned out that she knew nothing about this world.

"They are a group of beings called 'wizards'. The life-extending potion also comes from their hands. The so-called glimmer of hope... refers to the chance to become a 'wizard'!" the graceful lady said in a serious tone.

……

After leaving the Bronze Bell Inn, Rorschach and Abel encountered several waves of remnants of the evil god, and most of them came from different churches.

Just a rough count, including the Church of Bliss, means that Rorschach alone has seen people walking from five different churches.

Rorschach was not idle during this process.

If you encounter the first and second state gods walking, then there is naturally nothing to say, just harvest them and be done with it.

Of course, they had encountered the third state before, but with Ah Dai's strength, he easily carried the two of them and avoided the third state gods they encountered.

In fact, if Ah Dai were to fight him, he might be able to win. After all, Ah Dai himself is the strongest one below the gold level.

But at this critical moment, Rorschach didn't want to waste time. If the battle couldn't be resolved quickly, no one could be sure whether there would be any accidents.

If you attract the fourth-level bishops of various evil god churches, you won't even have time to cry by then, so it's better not to seek death.

"Be careful, the further you go inside, the more dangerous it may be." After entering the inner city, Rorschach asked Ah Dai to slow down.

"My Lord, there seems to be another follower of the false god of gluttony ahead." Abel was the first to discover the huge monster in front of him that was more than seven meters tall.

The only one who can have this kind of body shape is the one who is gluttonous walking. And it is not just ordinary gluttonous walking, it must be the one that has entered the third state.

Just when Rorschach was about to ask Ah Dai to take a detour to avoid the third state of gluttony in front, his pupils suddenly shrank!
Because of a piece of information that Zhenyuzhitong accidentally observed, he was instantly shocked:

"Name: Jack Barbossa"

"Race: Humanity, Wizard Apprentice"

"Abilities: Gray Tower Meditation Lv.4, Guluo Pharmacy Lv.1"

"Hint 1: You have finally touched the tip of the iceberg of this world. Even though the guy in front of you is just an apprentice of the Grey Tower, even so, it is enough to make him a guest of honor of the three empires."

"Hint 2: What you hear may not be true, and what you see may not be true. This world may be more cruel than you think..."

"Hint 3: The wizard is invincible, but the wizard's apprentice can"
