Atlas Double Star Book

When she looked up, a huge sphere hung above her head, and the focus of the three rivers was below her knees.

The sphere is transparent, a disturbing black-red color, and houses a snake too large to see its end and end.Looking around, there are charcoal-like scales everywhere, like fragments of swords.

It's an egg, she knows it.

"This is you, Ijah," the man said.

The eggshell is cracked.

The city suffered heavy damage, and the monsters slammed into the city gate tirelessly.The soldiers tremblingly reinforced the door, but the wood was already showing signs of cracking, and the sound was not right.

Neil patrolled back and forth on the city wall.The monkey-shaped monster climbed up the city wall, and the archers immediately reported and counterattacked.Bows and arrows can't kill monsters, can't penetrate thick hair, only temporarily delay.Whenever the archer called for help, the prepared hot asphalt was poured down the city, scorching the monster's flesh and blood, and fell down screaming.This method is still useful, but Neil also knows that this can only stop some monsters that can climb the wall.The biggest danger is the hordes of beasts trying to break through the city gates, and the swarms of insects that are about to attack in the sky.

"Your Excellency, the door is about to collapse!" the soldier shouted.

Neil leaned forward to look down, and shouted, "Use the pile of wooden posts over there to hold the door!"

"My lord, the asphalt is almost gone..."

"Then use the hot sand, and go and take out all the sandbags for flood control!" Neil ran to the archer, and was about to ask how many arrows were left, when a big furry hand suddenly grabbed the archer's cloak, wanting to kill him. Pull down.

"Ahhh help!"

Neil leaned out of the city wall, and shot the giant ape's one eye blind with an arrow!While the giant ape was struggling blindly, Neil quickly cut through the archer's cloak.The archer fell to the ground, his face turned purple from being strangled.

"Are you okay, are you injured?" Neil patted the archer on the back, "Hot Sand! There are monkeys here, hurry up!"

Archer retched, "Your Excellency, thank you for saving me!"

"We'll talk about this later, how many bows and arrows do we have?" Neil counted.

"Not many, maybe less than a hundred in total..."

Neil frowned, what can a hundred arrows do?The daily training of their knights alone consumes hundreds of arrows, not to mention that they only need to shoot wooden stakes during training. What they are now facing is a giant monster with extremely strong vitality that cannot be killed unless it is beheaded.A hundred arrows can only tickle a big monster.

He thought about it, and suddenly found that all the soldiers were looking at him so piously, as if they were looking up at the breakwater in the tsunami.Neil felt more and more pressure, could he really command these people to defend the city?Can I do it myself?But this is definitely not the time to hesitate, Neil knew that he had to do it.Now, the lives of these soldiers, and the lives of the entire city, are in his hands.There is no room for failure, no room for delay.

Neil stood up, fluttering his cloak.He looked at the vast group of demons in the city, thinking about what the teacher had talked about...

"The instinct of monsters is to chase and devour stronger power."

"There are so many monsters, if we can gather them together..." Neil said to himself, "Use bait to lure them to one place."

At this time, the boy came to report: "My lord, the things to deal with the moth swarm are ready. We have found a pharmacist and prepared a powerful combustion accelerant. You can use a catapult to throw the accelerant, and then use a rocket to ignite it. "

"There are catapults in a small town like Itil?" Neil was surprised.

The boy replied: "There is only a small model, which was used by Mr. Dania when he taught the recruits, but the range is enough."

"Very well, reload now."

The preparations for the counterattack were quickly completed, the round glass filled with accelerant was placed, and the rope of the catapult was tightened.The archers readied their arrows and aimed at the target.

"Launch!" Neal said.

The catapult bounced high in an instant, and the accelerant was thrown high into the air——the archer lightly opened his fingers, and just as the flaming arrow touched the fur of the monster, the blazing fire instantly opened its unrivaled formation, and it was on fire!The herds of the plains are on fire!The dry wind intensified, and the flames swirled upward, expanding, and gripping the flesh of the howling beast.

"Fire again!" Neal ordered.

More flames were awakened, and walls of fire rose from the wild beasts.

The big moth was so excited that it was dazzled by the light and heat, and fell to the ground like a whole piece of dark cloud, rushing towards the terrifying flames.

Burnt smell scattered.The soldiers clenched their fists excitedly, watching the beast tide fall into chaos.At this time, we must pursue the victory!Although this trick works, the number of monsters is still too much, and the swarms of insects all over the sky are still considerable.Neil's heart was beating extremely fast, and his eardrums were throbbing.

"Come again!"

The soldiers quickly repeated the previous actions, and this rare chance of winning made everyone dizzy.

But this time, their strategy was thwarted by the enemy.For some reason, a strange strong wind suddenly blew up around the city wall, and the dust and sand slammed into it, so that everyone couldn't open their eyes, and the catapult wobbled and couldn't work at all.

"Why is there dust...!"

Neil suddenly realized: "I'm afraid it's the magic wind...! The black mage won't let us... ah." He grabbed the city wall and desperately opened his eyes to look around.

The strong wind was raging, overturning the brazier and flagpole, and the catapult was completely blown to pieces.The sand hit people like fists, the ears and mouth were full of sand, and the eyes were swollen with pain.The strong wind swept across the city wall, and a thin archer couldn't stand still for a while, and was blown off the city wall by the strong wind and fell into the herd of beasts.

"help me!"

Sand was poured into the mouth that was opened wide from screaming, and the man was torn to pieces by the monster immediately.

"Damn!!! Damn! Stop it, damn the wind!!!" Neil wished he could kill the black mage right now. Hearing the soldiers calling for help and the howling wind, his heart suddenly turned cold.If the other party has spells, there's nothing they can't do, damn it, Neil has never regretted it so much.The arrogant magic wind completely suppressed the actions of the soldiers, they couldn't even stand up, let alone fight back.

Borrowing the strong wind, the giant beast crashed into the city gate even more forcefully!

The city gate wailed, and the wood was about to give up.

"Your Excellency, we...we...!" The soldier struggled to crawl towards Neil, grabbing his wrist tightly.what to do?

Neil panicked.

The yellow wind and sand turned the world upside down, shattering the withered and the rotten, the invisible force forcibly tore down the city wall, and the door was about to be broken——!

"Enough is enough," someone said.

In an instant, the world was quiet, and the wind and sand died down.People get up in confusion, shaking off their bodies covered in dust, what's going on?The wind suddenly stopped?

I saw the silver-haired mage ascending the tower, as if returning from the moonlight.

Peleas made a gesture, and all the overturned objects returned to their original places.Heather strengthened the city gate with a strengthening spell. She was heroic and heroic. The soldiers looked at this incredible person, as if they had witnessed the second coming of the hero in the epic.Now, with two mages standing here, the enemy's sorcery has been stopped!People gathered around and grabbed their clothes like children, clutching the mage's arm in wordless eagerness.

"Teacher!" Neil almost jumped up.

Master Baiyin heard the call, and responded with the same tender smile, "Thank you for being here, I am proud."

When he was suddenly praised, Neil rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, and secretly imagined that it was the teacher's hand touching his head.Perhaps seeing the flicker in the student's eyes, Pelias actually did this.If Neil had a tail, he would be wagging it happily right now.

"Ahem!" Neil instantly regained the majesty of the commander, and said to the soldiers: "Brothers! The enemy is not only monsters, but also monsters who manipulate monsters. But don't worry, now there are two outstanding mages standing beside us Here! Now our hope is brighter. Fear not, our strength is indestructible, and the people of the city are with us!"

Everyone raised their arms and shouted!

Heather stood the tin staff on the ground, and the invisible ripples swayed, and the spells of different textures vibrated with each other.Heather detected the black mage's position.

"In the northeast direction, the distance is about 3 Rogge."

Pelias nodded: "That person isn't really there, it's probably just a shadow. Even if we temporarily find his position, the shadow may move hundreds of Rogge away in an instant. Get rid of these monsters and moths first."

Before everyone could ask, Peleas raised his hand as if to catch a fallen leaf——

In an instant, whip-like flames swept across the sky!The sudden huge wave bent over quickly, breaking through the pressing moths in an instant.

Ashes fell like snow.

"Witchcraft of the Dienrians?!" Heather couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, I happened to meet a very good teacher." Peleas thought of Zarrick, and he tried to activate the spell again. The fire whip extended in the sky like the horizon, covering the southern sky...

The burning sound was almost roaring, and the scorched worms fell in pieces, like the sky tilting.

Neil was stunned, even he had never seen the teacher use such a huge spell.The soldiers were cheering, as if victory was in sight, watching the overwhelming moth swarm burn about three-fifths in the blink of an eye, and the sky showed color.Neil was also happy at first, but his chest suddenly hurt, and he saw Peleas also pressing his chest.

"Teacher, don't use it anymore! Your body can't support it." Neil grabbed the teacher's arm.

Peleas said lightly: "Nothing."

In the eyes of everyone, the silver mage waved the short tin staff, and the power of fire was at the mage's disposal.The whole sky is on fire!Swarms of flaming moths scatter like molten fluid oozing from cracks in the sky.The heat is blowing in the face, the people are anxious, the flames are floating overhead-so close!And the city wall under their feet also resisted the horde of burning beasts.In an instant, the world seemed to become a melting pot, the dome and the earth were melting.There were screams one after another, but everyone's heartbeat was even louder. The soldiers either prayed or pretended to be brave.Who can know that the fire will not fall on him in the next second?The world seems to be in a giant heart.

The heartbeat became more and more rapid due to fear, and people had to open their mouths to breathe, but the scorched smell and ash of burning hair entered the mouth and nose again.People were sweating profusely, frequently looking at the silver-haired mage in fear.

Pelias didn't take it seriously, and observed the situation of the monster intently, and at which angle the clean flame needed to be ignited.

People wanted to ask the mage to stop, but no one dared to speak.

Neil's heart was throbbing with pain, and the burden of spells made him speechless.In a trance, he looked at the teacher.Peleas stood on the city wall, with one hand on his heart, while calmly driving the overwhelming flames.Neil suddenly understood...

This man does whatever it takes.

It seems that the wear and tear of oneself is a trivial matter that can be ignored.

"Teacher!" Neil yelled, "Okay, stop now! We'll solve it next."

Pelias said tremblingly, "There is one more thing."

Heather would have liked to have a hand, but she hadn't seen Wizard Dienrian's spells.That was another system of knowledge, completely different from the training she had received at the Academy.She was extremely anxious, but seeing that the giant moths in the sky were about to be burned away, and the herd of beasts on the ground also dispersed... Heather could only use gentle healing techniques to help Pelias relieve the pain as much as possible.

It's almost over!

Even the stable boy could tell that the silver-haired mage was about to lose his balance.The soldiers half stretched out their hands, as if worried that the mage might fall at any time.

Neil was completely angry: "Enough Perlia, I said enough! Stop it!"

When Pelias heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Don't worry about me! If I can't do well at this level, I am nothing!"

Others didn't know what to do, so they didn't make a sound.Neil also held back, he didn't want to quarrel at the critical moment.They can only trust Peleas and entrust all their fear, anxiety and hope to that figure.

The light of the fire shone on the silver hair, and the ashes blew, countless faint particles of golden light dimmed in the wind.

It's getting cooler around here.

"Hmm." Peleas sighed softly, as if he had obtained a satisfactory data.

The magnificent whip of fire disappeared.

There were not many moths left in the air, and most of the animal swarms on the ground were also lost.It's over for now.The soldiers were terrified, and they stood there for a while before they realized it, cheering and swarming towards the silver-haired mage.

"teacher!"

Neil went over first, but before he reached out to touch it, Peleas couldn't hold it anymore.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Neil hugged the fallen teacher.Pelias struggled symbolically, but he may have been too tired and could only accept the status quo in the end.Neil touched the teacher's ears and found that his body temperature had dropped very low, so he quickly wrapped the teacher with his cloak.

"Look, I just said that I...can...do it." The silver-haired mage was panting with difficulty, his face was pale, and he was hugged by the knight.

Neil's heart was about to break, he hugged the teacher tightly, kissed the silver hair, "You are always like this... there is no need to be so...so...ah!"

Heather sighed: "If you force yourself to use spells, Neil's body will also suffer."

Pelias seemed to have suddenly realized this problem, looked at Neil several times in a panic, and turned his head away stiffly.

The siege beasts gradually dispersed, and occasionally a few giant moths flew in, and the archers could also use ignited arrows to deal with them.

"The black mage gave up just like that?" Neil always felt wrong.

Heather waited for a while and said, "I don't know, I can't detect him nearby, maybe he retreated with the Iceman."

Peleas was held by Neil and temporarily fell asleep.

Everyone was exhausted, but they dared not leave their posts.The trembling cook came out of the house and brought ale and hot dog soup to the soldiers.Soldiers can finally rest for a while.Heather liked hot soup very much, so she ate three bowls heartily in a row.Seeing that Neil didn't eat, she asked, "Why, aren't you hungry? Is it the custom in your hometown...? I know that the Sibyls don't eat horses, and they advocate chivalry."

Neil covered the teacher with the blanket, and said with a wry smile: "It's not...it's just that I like dogs, and I have raised several, so I don't want to eat them. But the way the empire roasts dogs should be delicious, and Trande likes to run." Come to me and show off how delicious this is. To be honest, although the Sibyls don't eat horses, when we marched before we couldn't contact the supply team for a month. When cooking horse meat, Trand still ate happily , don't let me tell Egg."

Heather smiled: "According to Sybil's custom, if you eat horse meat, you will go blind."

"Even if Trande is blind, it won't affect his happy life, as long as his lower half can still be full of energy... ah... I'm sorry!" Neil suddenly remembered that Heather is a woman and shouldn't be with her Women make such nasty jokes.Normally, he wouldn't say nasty jokes, but the atmosphere of the barracks made him think he was in the Knights for a while.

The teacher snorted in his sleep.

Neil became nervous, "Heather, please, don't tell the teacher that I made nasty jokes."

Shinan laughed boldly, and patted the young man on the shoulder, "Why don't you tell this guy a dirty joke next time and see how he reacts. How... look at your expression, have you never seen him like that? Hey Yo, that scene is really interesting. When we were kids before, another group of boys especially liked to come and provoke Pelias. Although Hein couldn’t stand it and would stop it, I think he was quite happy to see Pelias Lias looks troubled."

How dare I!Neil secretly groaned in his heart.

Shinan glanced outside the city, her expression suddenly became solemn.

"What's wrong?" Neil asked.

"Did you meet Radney before? It's...the leader of the Icelanders who attacked the imperial capital this time."

Neil remembered that the man was Shinan's former student.He couldn't help asking: "Mr. Shi Nan, why do you..."

"Because he sees me as an Iceman, but I don't think I am an Iceman." After thinking for a while, Heather continued to explain: "Radney was just 17 years old when he came to the academy, and he was a proud young man. I can't stand others looking down on him, and I can't stand the academy treating the Icelanders as 'barbarians without words'. At that time, many apprentices and teachers were indeed prejudiced against him. I could understand him better, so I gave the child a sense of security, but... ..."

Neil pressed, "But you don't think you're an Iceman, does that make him think you look down on him?"

"That's true. I had an argument with the kid, and he left in anger. I didn't expect...it's my responsibility."

Neil frowned: "Why do you think you're not from the ice field?"

Heather raised her head, looked at the young man calmly, and said, "Those ice men raped//violated my mother, and that's why I was born."

"..." Neil regretted asking such a sad question.

"My mother is the daughter of a herdsman in the north. One day she was herding sheep alone, and was caught by the Iceman. A few days later, the herdsmen finally found her. Then she gave birth to me, but... you know, who wants to raise What about this kind of child? I knew how I got here since I was a child. My mother couldn't stand the pressure and threw me away, I can understand her. But the irony is... just when I was about to freeze to death, it was the Iceman who threw me I picked it up and Grandma Islay adopted me. But I hated the diremen and eventually ran away... wandered until I met my teacher and she took me back to the academy."

"So it's like this... In this situation, how could you think that you are an icelander? But no matter what, children are innocent, and they can't choose the way they were born." Neil thought for a while, and then said: " Shi Nan, you just need to be who you want to be, it has nothing to do with blood."

Being comforted by the younger generation, Shinan rubbed her eyebrows and laughed: "You are indeed that person's son."

"?"

"I used to be rejected by other children when I first arrived at the academy. But there was a boy with blond hair who walked up to me first and said what you just said. There is also a boy with black hair beside him, with golden eyes and pupils, fair and beautiful. Speaking of The words were gentle and gentle. Later I was surprised to learn that this beautiful child was abandoned by his parents, just like me. 'How could that be?' I thought, 'Mother abandoned me because I was ugly and dirty, How could anyone throw away a child as beautiful as a china doll?'”

Neil listened carefully.

Heather went on to say: "Now that I'm here, I should remind you... Peleas has a big problem with his self-identity. He often thinks that he is worthless unless he is only useful to others .Plus he is very stubborn, so he can sometimes show self-destructive tendencies, and he doesn't care what other people think."

Neil smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, I have a deep understanding... He used to want to hide behind my back and die alone."

Heather crossed her arms and sighed: "When Pelias was a child, in order to help his teacher copy scrolls, he often copied them all night without sleep, and went directly to class during the day. He stayed up so late that even Mr. Pross couldn't stand it, so he wouldn't let him copy it. So he quietly ran to the real forest to copy. As a result, his eyes were broken and he almost blinded himself. It was Mr. Lucio who tried his best to apply medicine to him to save his eyesight. After that, he can no longer Copy the scroll."

Neal was speechless in astonishment.

Shinan shrugged: "You can't copy books anymore, do you know what this guy can do instead?"

"I guess... it should be to go to the deep mountains to collect the herbs that the teacher needs, or something that is not good for health..." Neil tried hard to imagine what the teacher looked like when he was young.

"That's right. Later, in order not to let him ruin his body, Hein and I always pestered him to play together. Hein always said to him, 'Your life should be happy, and it only belongs to your happiness, not for your own happiness. Others'. Do you think he'll listen?"

Neil shook his head.

Heather smiled: "Do you know that there is a proverb in the academy, 'Bernhard is always right, unless your head is as hard as a rock'. Which one of you Bernhards is not iron-tempered?"

"Of course I know him," Neil sighed, looking at the sleeping person in his arms, "He has a cold and hard personality, just like a star."

"So... based on what I have known about Peleas for so many years, I don't think he will accept your love."

"Well, he has refused many times." Neil scratched his head.

Shinan lowered her voice and said, "I think he will go back to the academy and be separated from you in the end. But you also need to know that he actually..."

Neil interrupted Heather, and said firmly: "Yes, I know, he loves me."

Heather was speechless: "Are young people nowadays so straightforward?"

The blue-eyed young man smiled wryly: "Actually... I also want to understand, as long as I know that he loves me, that's enough. If the academy can make him happy, then I can accept being separated from him. At worst, I will live alone in the future .If the teacher can be happy, then any way is good. Even if he leaves me...the dog is with me. I will always love my dog ​​and my horse, good friends forever." Neil's voice It gets smaller and smaller, and finally disappears.

Heather couldn't bear to touch Neil's head.

After that, both of their minds drifted to other things, and they stopped talking.

In order to prevent any monsters from attacking again, the warlocks and soldiers took turns on duty until it was completely dark.

After Peleas woke up, Heather and Neil decided to leave.

"Did you detect the position of the black mage later?" Pelias yawned, and when he realized that Neil was hugging him, he immediately woke up.

"It's never been there, it's gone."

"I suspect they will still go to the imperial capital, it's better to be ahead of them."

Heather nodded: "Well, I also want to meet Radney in person."

Neil said: "But the child's health is still not good, and she is wanted again. It will be very difficult for us to bring her back to the imperial capital."

"Yes, I will definitely stay with her in Itil." Heather said.

Thinking of the girl, the three of them were a little anxious.After a whole day, I don't know what happened to the girl who was still sleeping in the basement.After a short rest, they bid farewell to the city guards and rushed back to the basement where they rented.

The warlock was cautious when going down the stairs, but there were no more monsters.They breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately saw a terrible scene——

The door is open? !

Who opened it?Impossible, before leaving, Heather used reinforcement and key techniques, and no one could open this space except her.

"how come!"

Heather hurried down to the room, but there was no sign of the girl.The bed was empty, and... the originally neat room was now full of blood, and the mutilated corpses of monsters were nailed to the wall one by one, like a workshop for making specimens.

"My God..."

No one can stand the gory.// Even Neil is sick to his stomach.

"Where did she go? Is she still alive!" Shinan was so anxious that she was going crazy, she used her hands to tear apart the hanging monkey corpse, looking for any possible clues.

Pelias covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Don't panic, you will find out right away with the person-finding technique!"

"Ah? Ah... yes, yes, why did I forget... this is..." Shinan looked around in a daze.

"She's definitely alive," Neil said. "Look, there's footprints here, and she acted on her own. She's probably upstairs."

Only then did Heather remember that there were two doors in the basement, leading to the warehouse upstairs and the street respectively.Following Neil's guidance, she saw traces of black blood.

"She's upstairs!"
