Chapter 109 Noble Church Mage
In a bloody dark red land.

There are dark clouds overhead, and even the sunlight can only shine faintly through the clouds.

The whole earth is always shrouded in the darkness of rainy days.

The vegetation and trees on the ground seemed to be dyed black by blood red, becoming weird and twisted.

In a dark environment, it brings a spooky and uncomfortable feeling.

"This damn place, snort, snort!"

A human scout wearing a cloak and walking with his back hunched cursed.

"Shut up and focus if you want to stay alive." There seemed to be another scout ahead, who should be the captain.

There were several other companions around.

They were spread out widely, but each watched warily as they advanced.

Remember something while observing, whether it is vegetation or geographical environment.

This was obviously a scouting team.

Suddenly, I felt a slight tinnitus.

All the scouts froze in place, motionless like statues, as if they were playing some kind of statue game.

They didn't relax until the feeling passed.

And keep moving forward.

"I don't know who discovered this, it's really amazing."

A scout couldn't help but say.

If no one discovered this, they didn't know how many people would die on the way to reconnaissance.

At least he had heard it many times before.

Many scouts and reconnaissance soldiers died here.

If they had received this kind of reconnaissance mission here before, they would almost treat it as a mission that means they must die.

"Anyway, they are not our people. I heard that the news came from the church." said another scout.

"Let's go, we need to detect the enemy's movements."

Many scouts had already determined the enemy's different assembly sizes.

It's obvious that the enemy is about to make a big move.

They had to take the risk to continue to understand the enemy's movements in order to make adequate preparations to respond.

They shuttled through the strange forest, stepping on the bloody dark red ground.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, some kind of roar came from a direction closer to them, and finally turned into a wolf howl.

As soon as the two voices rang out, the captain gave the order decisively while the team members were still on guard.

"Everyone! Spread out, quickly! We've been discovered!"

Obviously, this was not the first time he came here to investigate.

Although I don’t know why I was discovered, the key point at this time is to run back decisively and bring back the current information.

Upon hearing this, the other team members responded immediately and fled in all directions.

The enemy had obviously surrounded them, and the sound of rapid movement was heard through the jungle.

In the sky, there was also the sound of giant bats flapping their wings.

The scout, who was the captain, circled around a few times and then ran quickly back from a distance.

There was a sound of flapping wings in the sky.

He knew he was being watched.

With the sound of bats chirping, a huge body swooped down in front of him, blocking his way.

This creature is obviously larger than other giant bats, and even has a special saddle on its back.

A pale man wearing light armor and holding something like a staff in his hand walked down from above.

The scouts' eyes widened as they looked at this man, because this was the first time they had seen a real vampire face to face.

In most cases, they faced the vampire reconnaissance team, which was composed of ghouls and giant bats.

The real vampires, I heard that they only fought against each other several months ago when they launched a surprise attack and pushed them back to the fortress.

"Where do you want to go?"

Looking at the vampire who came down from the giant bat, the scout assessed the current situation.

Can you win?

The chances are slim.

Can you run away?

The chances are slim.

Just have to try.

Once the assessment was made, he acted decisively. He didn't know what he was holding, so he immediately let go and threw it forward.

Several projectiles flew out.

The vampire wizard gently waved the staff in his hand.

The horizontal streak of blood hit the bullet directly, and the bullet exploded, sending out a large cloud of ash that filled the surroundings.

By the way, some blood was also exploded, resulting in gray smoke mixed with a bloody smell.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the scouts immediately rushed into the nearby forest.

The body began to become illusory as the environment darkened, and became hidden in the shadows between the big trees.

Obviously, he is a professional, which is significantly different from ordinary scouts.

Wields the power of shadow magic.

The feeling of tinnitus in his ears made him stay motionless in the shadows.

The vampire walked out from the ashes, looking unhappy.

But the vampire's pale and skinny face made it difficult to see his expression clearly.

Most of the vampires have basically lost control of their facial expressions, and they are more like expressionless and cold people.

He pulled the staff in a certain direction and actually pulled the hidden scout out.

"This... is impossible!" the scout captain exclaimed.

Even if there were signs of discovery, it would be impossible to discover it all at once.

He was somewhat confident in his concealment.

However, the enemy knew where he was from the beginning to the end, and his hiding was like a joke.

"idiot."

With a curse, the vampire mage gently waved his staff. The scout immediately felt something drain from his body, a kind of pain, and then his body became weak and collapsed.

It was only then that he discovered that he had a wound on his calf.

He seemed to have thought of something, but he collapsed powerlessly.

The vampire mage walked over, looked at him, and licked his lips.

“Crack, crack…”

A vampire soldier fell from the sky riding a giant bat.

The vampire mage sat on the ground and turned to look at him.

On the pale face, there was a lot of blood from the direction of the lips, and some flesh was stained there.

It seemed as if there was a long, thin object in its mouth, which it was chewing.

In front of him was a corpse, its chest and abdomen completely hollowed out, and all the blood in the body seemed to have disappeared.

He wiped his mouth and swallowed the food.

"how's it going?"

"One got away."

"Huh? This can let an enemy escape? Idiot." The mage cursed, but he didn't seem to be very angry.

He stood up and tore something apart.

He threw the object in his hand to the other party, then mounted the giant bat and flew upwards. During the takeoff, the giant bat grasped a broken body in its claws.

The soldier held the thing in his hand, his eyes glowing red and saliva flowing from his mouth.

He began to bite it in big mouthfuls, his mouth full of blood.

……

Limestone Fortress.

Below the fortress, facing the border of the Kingdom of Safro.

The bishop was leading a group of paladins and priests, carving something in that direction.

As they walked, some simple, pattern-like patterns appeared on the ground.

These lines formed a line, dividing the land in front of the fortress into two.

After doing all this, the bishop looked ahead, squatted down, looked at the land, and sighed silently.

"What kind of force could cause such erosion?"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a handful of soil and squeezed it. The texture of the soil was not much different from before.

If I have to say, it may have become a little softer.

But as he scattered the soil, some liquid that looked like blood seemed to remain in his hands, but of course it was not blood.

But the faint smell of blood emanating from the soil was indeed so unmistakable. According to repeated reports from scouts, large areas of Safro's territory must have become this blood-red cursed land.

The bishop also conducted research with some of his priests and some of the prince's mages.

Being able to research it, it seems to be some kind of strange magical power.

Such force caused the earth to be eroded, and the land looked like it was emitting a bloody smell.

Such changes will make the land no longer suitable for growing some of the crops that were once grown.

Staying on this land for a long time will also cause some changes to ordinary humans or creatures.

After some research, they found that such changes might manifest as a preference for meat and a gradual preference for uncooked meat.

It would be even better if it had some blood on it.

However, such erosion is easy to block. You only need to use other magical powers to build a blocking wall, which can be easily stopped.

Areas that can be eroded are difficult to recover.

"Such erosion should be accompanied by the erosion of the magic veins. I looked at the information of the Kingdom of Saffro.

There is a reason for his lack of magic power and xenophobia. Apparently, they had already mastered the veins within their country early on.

And they must have profound knowledge and secret research in this area, and know how to perform certain rituals through the veins.

It's a pity that this place was too remote and barren to attract people's attention.

Only in a place like this can people's conspiracies and tricks be difficult to detect."

Standing next to the bishop was a mage staff member under the prince.

"How is your research going?" asked the Bishop.

Hearing this, the mage turned to look at the bishop and asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh? Don't you hate these the most?"

"Things are different now. This race... is too evil and too dark."

"Hmph, but you're right." The mage nodded, his expression a little solemn.

“I’ve dissected giant bats and ghouls without skin.

They are obvious alchemical stitching creations, with obvious ancient alchemical style.

What’s interesting is that they blended together quite well, and I’m quite impressed by their talent.”

After that, he sighed and said, "But what I want are the corpses of real vampires. I really want to see how different these new races are."

However, they have not obtained such corpses at all. After all, the two sides have not yet officially started a full-scale war. What they encountered were the reconnaissance troops of the vampires.

Full of ghouls and giant bats.

The enemy also obviously knew the perfection of these two alchemical creatures and had an endless source of manufacturing.

And it is cheap and efficient enough.

"The Stone of Creation, ah, how I wish I could get a piece of it myself." The wizard couldn't help but mutter to himself, and the envy in his voice could not be concealed at all.

Which mage doesn't want to have a fragment? It will be of great benefit to them in various aspects, whether it is use or research.

A paladin who had been standing next to the bishop glanced at him and couldn't help but say, "Maybe you have one hidden inside you? You just don't know it."

Hearing this, the mage looked at the paladin as if he were an idiot, but still said, "Although what you said is stupid, I will borrow your good words."

"Has your church received any news recently? The fragments of the Stone of Creation have appeared quite frequently." The wizard asked, wanting to get some detailed information from the side.

He became the prince's staff member, and many times he could no longer easily obtain more confidential information from various wizard gatherings and organizations as he did before.

The bishop thought for a moment and gave some information: "We have observed this phenomenon, especially in recent years."

After saying that, he asked again, "Are you asking about this because of the massacre in Mastaen City?"

The wizard nodded and said, "Indeed, the perpetrator of the massacre is said to be just an ordinary slum boy.

How did a slum boy kill 23 guards in one night, and slaughter an entire aristocratic estate the next?

Two years ago in the city of Korbel, a merchant's daughter wiped out three entire aristocratic families within three days.

Before that they were just ordinary people.”

After hearing the details, the bishop turned and looked at him: "They should restrain themselves a little."

"Haha, this is the funniest joke I have heard today. If they were more restrained, would they still be nobles?" The wizard couldn't help laughing twice.

But what he said was true, this was the Kingdom of Cohen, and the nobles and royal family members firmly controlled the resources and power of the upper class.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I heard that the newly-promoted earl has established himself firmly in the Eastern Wilds and even built a village?"

"Why are you asking us this question?" asked the paladin next to him.

The wizard chuckled and said sarcastically, "I don't really believe what those two court idiots said. They can make up anything to complete their mission.

I remember there was one of your paladins among the guards, wasn't there? Don't tell me you didn't get accurate information.

I remember that knight lady, the one who came back from the Eastern Wilderness before.

She seems to have some connection with the newly crowned Earl, and they've experienced some hardships together."

There is nothing to hide about this information.

The bishop nodded: "That's right."

"A village built in the Eastern Wilds is interesting. It seems that when we enter the Eastern Wilds in the future, we will finally have a safe place to stay."

For mages like them, the Eastern Wilderness can be considered a pretty good treasure trove.

There are many ruins, many evil creatures and various magical materials.

These are all necessary things for a mage.

There used to be no fixed and safe supply points, and many times we didn’t dare to go deeper.

Now that they have a village where they can settle down safely, it is certainly a very good thing for them.

Anyway, it's better than those strange gathering places of different races.

At least we are all still human.

"I got news that the dwarves seem to be calling someone the Evil Breaker, and this person is a human.

It's one of the Earl's men. Do you have any news about him?"

This time the bishop couldn't help himself and turned to look at him.

"A free intelligence acquisition point?"

"What does it matter? I'm being selfless and sharing my research results with you. I've been researching day and night for a long time.

Sharing some harmless intelligence won't hurt."

The wizard said with a smile.

"There is such a thing."

"Did something happen within the dwarves' ranks? What happened to them?"

The wizard knew the dwarves on the Gray Mountain. If he wanted to give such a respectful title to a human, then it was obvious that this human had done something great.

"An evil god. We have received news that an evil god has descended upon the dwarves."

The bishop said with a slightly serious expression.

This time, the mage's expression became serious. He frowned and asked, "Was it the one more than half a year ago?"

After all, if the evil god descends slightly, even if he just glances down, it will cause disturbance to the surrounding environment.

The farther away you are, the less clear it is what this disturbance is. It could be that a mage's research exploded or something like that.

But it is on the Gray Mountain after all, and part of the prince's territory is also next to the Gray Mountain, and there is also a wizard tower built there.

Such fluctuations were observed, but at such a distance, it was difficult to determine what was affecting the flow of magic veins.

The bishop nodded. "That time."

"Who is it?" asked the wizard.

"I don't know, I don't know, there's no record of it."

As soon as these words came out, the mage's expression suddenly became very solemn.

Unable to resist, he cursed, "Another one! Is this world about to be destroyed? Why are those damned evil gods always targeting this world?"

The bishop and the paladin beside him did not comment on this.

After all, they are the first to bear the brunt of many evil god problems.

Somehow, the bishop couldn't help but think of the "Night Watcher" he learned from Anita.

"What is his name? The dwarf cannot possibly be hiding anything about this matter. Tell me quickly."

"The Monarch of Decay."

"Tsk, I know it's not a good name just by listening to it, and it's also very disgusting." The wizard said with great disgust.

The names of evil gods have a very obvious connection with their power image, worship methods, and the performance of believers.

"You are right. The dwarves remember this well."

The wizard asked, "How are you going to deal with this?"

"do not know."

"That's right. Before I actually fought against the minions of the evil gods, I really didn't know what disgusting abilities these evil gods had."

"Have you cleared out the evil cults in the kingdom?"

"No."

"Why? Didn't the association provide a lot of help?"

Hearing this, the bishop looked at him.

"If you can help us get rid of the nobles' obstruction..."

"That's okay."
