Atlas Double Star Book
Chapter 45 The Scale of Regret
Dragons do not exist in this world.
People made up those Phantasmal stories only because of superstition, he kept telling himself.Until that night, the first scale grew on his left wrist.He only found out when he took off his scholar's robes.During the day, he prepared snacks and took little Neil to the river for a picnic.Children like to play in water, run around happily, and feed otters by the river.He looked at the child, weaving the wreath for the boy.Perhaps because he was too relaxed, he fell asleep on the grass.When he woke up, he found the boy sleeping next to him, holding his long hair gently in his hands.
It should have been a happy day.
However, a black scale grew on his skin.He was not surprised; scholars are all too familiar with the ominous omen of the depletion of the "roster."But Peleas was still sick. The thing looked oiled and creepy by candlelight.He cut it off with a knife and quickly wrapped it in a bandage.
Two days later, when he took off the bandage, there were more scales on his wrist.A few days later, the right hand also appeared.Gradually, the hair on the comb turned white.For a long time, he didn't dare to look in the mirror, dare not go out, and he didn't even want to see little Neil.
"Teacher, what's the matter with you, teacher?" He dared not open even when the child was crying and knocking on the door.
His body is transforming.His intuition as a scholar told him that this change could hardly be explained by exhaustion of the "roster".He searched through the classics, and all he got were secretive descriptions.how could be?Isn't he already ready?Why do you get scared again when the bad omen comes?
Peleas is not afraid of death, but has been longing for it for a long time.What really frightened him was that the body was turning into something else.
Do dragons really exist?
Or ask the other way around—why doesn't the monster named "dragon" that appears in many classics don't exist?
He wanted to know.
"teacher?"
……
"Teacher, are you okay?" Neil asked softly, "You have been silent since the beginning, and neither is Teacher Heather."
He came to his senses.
The wind howled and the horses galloped.They must stop the black mage and the monster as soon as possible.
Peleas glanced to the left. Heather was riding alone on a horse, and remained silent.Neil adjusted the posture of holding the rein and protected him in his arms.The cold wind was blowing, and Neil's breath was always blowing on the back of his neck, which was warm.Pelias was so anxious that he couldn't speak.
"In the southeast."
The light of finder guides them.The warlock cast another strengthening spell, and the horse galloped forward.The night was so dark that there was no moon in the haze.There was a faint blue spot of light in the sky, which they could vaguely see.
That's her.
Heather was sure that the girl's body was now glowing with light blue phosphorescence, like a monster from the deep sea.
The point of light descended from the sky and disappeared behind the hills, disturbingly.
"Oops, that direction is...!" Neil suddenly realized.
"what?"
Just then they saw an ominous fire rising behind the hill.A corner of the sky was burned, and thick smoke billowed.
"She attacked that village!"
When they hurriedly rode up the hill, thick smoke was blowing in their faces, and the strong wind could not blow it away. The house was burning, and the ignited windmill screamed and spun, blown by the blazing wind, like a dying giant in the flames. gradually lost its form.
The horror of the fire made Neil instinctively afraid.
"Mother……"
"Calm down Neil, look at me." Pelias stroked the student's cheek.The young man looked terrified, his forehead was covered with sweat, as if he was still in a nightmare.But these comforting words obviously worked. Neil looked at the teacher, and his breathing gradually subsided.
"Yes, yes..." Neil regained his senses, "Is this the black mage who set the fire? Or was she... the fire must be put out quickly, the people in the village may still be asleep!"
Heather shook her head.
"No, I'm afraid there are no living people left in this village."
"How is that possible? The fire has just started, and the villagers must be woken up quickly...!" Neil rushed down the hillside in a hurry.
Peleas didn't express his opinion, but raised his short tin rod, and said the incantation of "ringing" in the ancient Ibane language——
All of a sudden, all the items of the same quality as the tin staff returned to answer the mage's call - the farm's hoes, iron nails, horseshoes from the stables, coins, Nier's sword and armor, the mason's hammer, the silver ring, and the top floor of the council hall The big clock... Countless metal and iron objects woke up, ding ding dong dong, echoing each other like a pack of anxious wolves.
The sound of knocking resounded across the plain in the night.
Neil was taken aback at first, but then thought excitedly, the villagers must wake up and run for their lives!But when they actually arrived at the burning village, the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
"why……"
The warning bells have stopped, and the village is still dead. There is no breath of living people, only the crackling of flames engulfing wood and thatch.
"Where are people? Impossible, it's just now..." Neil rushed to a house that hadn't caught fire. As soon as he opened the door, he felt that no one was in the house.
The whole village seemed to have died before the fire came, as if the flames were not killing, but making final preparations for burial.Neil finally realized what Heather had said before, that there were no living people here.
"It's not just death." Heather touched the ground with the obsidian blade, and the feedback from the detection spell was disappointing. "The villagers here are not only dead, but their bodies are gone. It should have happened just now. In these empty houses And the remnants of human body heat."
Peleas asked, "What about the animals? Cats and dogs, horses, or those horrible bugs in the kitchen."
"Disappeared too, that's what the detection spell says."
Pelias frowned: "The instrument panel of 'North Star' failed again."
"That's why you scholars are relying too much on utensils. It's good to use 'Vientiane Visibility' at this time."
"That method is too exhausting, and I usually don't use it lightly..." Peleas said shamefully.
Heather drove the obsidian blade into the ground.Under the revelation of the incantation, the false appearance dissipated, and the magic system applied to the object was revealed—it seemed that countless glowing snakes sprang up from the ground, squirming in a certain direction, and Neil was startled!Even climbed onto his boots, Neil raised his feet, only to realize that they were actually densely packed runes.He suddenly felt uncomfortable, his body was heavy, and he couldn't breathe.
"This, what is this?"
I saw those tiny runes, like swarms of termites, crawling all over the streets and walls, wriggling in the firelight.
Heather didn't have time to say more, and immediately pressed the shoulders of Neil and Peleas.Under the effect of the concealment technique, the three of them seemed to be as cold as stones.Neil found that the light symbols crawling on the boots faded away, and his body gradually relaxed.
"We're safe now," said Heather.
Pelias explained to the students: "It's because I didn't teach you. 'Vientiane Visibility' can remove the superficial effect of the spell and expose the structure of the spell itself, so that the caster's conception and layout can be interpreted, and then This spell interferes directly."
"This is indeed a very vicious spell. Its basic principle is 'dissolving', which can be triggered by any living creature with body temperature. I'm afraid the villagers were killed in their sleep..."
"Not only... Heather, look here."
"Spells with superimposed energy recovery? That is to say... the caster dissolves the entire village and absorbs them as energy into the entire spell circle?"
"In other words, this magic circle is a small-scale, mimetic 'book' that swallows all these villagers." Peleas turned his head and continued to explain to Neil; "It's like throwing firewood into the stove, The wood turns to fire. And the black mage can harness the energy."
The two mages lowered their heads to study the spell structure, completely ignoring the surrounding fire, and the walls of the house might collapse at any time.Neil was in a hurry and forcibly pulled the two of them to a safe place.Just then, a scream broke the silence.Neil pulled out his sword, and the shadow of the giant beast was reflected on the burning wall, and it was fleeting in the flames.He turned around, and the breath of the beast appeared in another direction. There were beasts lurking everywhere in the burning street.
"The monster is attracted!"
"After all, this magic circle contains a huge amount of energy, absorbing the lives of hundreds of people. What is it for..."
A hairless dog jumped out of the corner and bared its teeth at them.But soon, the monster wailed, because its body was melting like wax.The dense runes are like tiny teeth and arms, dragging the creature deep.Neil couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to cut off the monster's head.Soon, the corpse completely melted into liquid and was absorbed by the magic circle.The huge energy attracted a large number of monsters, and at the same time, these monsters became nutrients for the magic circle.
Pelias was very angry.
"Damn it, this is the Abby rune I rewritten to catch monsters... He actually copied it and used it in the magic circle for killing people!? Look, Heather, this paragraph is exactly the same as mine. I used it in the He must have stolen it from there." Peleas peeled off the fur of the corpse with a tin rod, and the tin rod was consistent with the runes flowing on the ground.
"Teacher, the focus now is..." Neil just wanted to remind the two mages.
In the flames, singing came from afar.
"If you see Benaris on her branching river... take your bow and put on your shiny gold tube top..."
It was a girl's voice.
she is here!
The three of them suddenly tensed up.
"Because that's the vulture flying over Patani...the sea is overwhelmed by a flock of white butterflies..."
The words in the song were slurred but still recognizable, a far cry from the husky, monstrous voice he had heard in the Tower earlier.Pelias was also aware of this change, and he also found that the flow of the magic circle was in the direction of the singing... In this way, it is likely that the black mage built this super-large magic circle to strengthen the monster. The people of the village are used as living sacrifices.Scholars have tried to unravel this matrix, but it is simply too complicated.This group of spells seems to have been woven together in a hodgepodge of stolen spells, ancient lost Ibane spells, and direct connections to leylines.Peleas can only weaken it, not eliminate it.
"Mahdeva...Let your sails float on the water..."
They went around the flames and the barricades, and rushed to the square in the center of the village, where the singing seemed to come from.The two mages felt a powerful magic flow... as if the roots buried deep in the ground were shrinking, sending nutrients to the heart of darkness.Something is entrenched there, sucking.
"Offer your bright red flowers to the babbling brook...the snows of Chatan fall on..."
she is there.The bronze god statue in the center of the square has been broken, and the monster is lying on the ruins, with the girl's body remaining on it, still singing, and its wingspan flapping slowly with the singing.Her translucent body is stretched, and the bones and internal organs are clearly visible, like the crystallization of the sea.The white hair fell down, covering the other two heads on her body.She just sang with such a pure expression, looking into a sea of flames.
Layers of flame are like roses, and she is poisonous dew.
so beautiful...
Neal thought so, and felt sad again.
"Heather, the Binding Curse! Don't let her fly again!"
With the previous experience, the two mages cooperated more quickly.Heather first used the silence technique to prevent the monster's lethal scream.The two weaved and launched the Binding Curse almost simultaneously, as if there were double chains firmly binding the monster.Sensing hostility, she spread her wings but couldn't move.
"Arrow!" Pelea shouted.
Neil could only obey the mage's command and shoot the sharp arrow at the monster—it was originally an arrow, but under the mage's call, the magic wind simulated the flow of flying arrows, and in an instant countless invisible sharp arrows fell from the sky, deeply Plunge into the monster's body!
"Gah—!"
Blood spurted out, and the originally translucent body was immediately stained with blood, and the girl's head revealed a painful expression.Neil hesitated.The monster screamed, and the runes on the ground suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light. Energy poured in continuously, pouring into the tumor-like body—her wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Surprise, right? This child has learned to be independent, and she will protect herself."
The voice of the black mage suddenly appeared in his ears. Neil looked around, but the man's voice seemed to come from inside his head.
"Come out if you have the ability, hell!"
"Useless Neil, that man isn't here, not even the shadow of his substitute before. It's really underestimating..." Peleas suppressed his anger.
"Yes, Mage Silver. I have obtained the experimental results I want, and the rest are just sideshows. The magic circle that devoured the entire village was made by herself, not me. An apprentice can be transformed into a demon Shout has such a powerful spell, what if a mage turns into a monster? Can you stop her?"
"You don't want to run!"
"Master Baiyin, if you want to cut off her supply of magic power and prevent her from swallowing the entire imperial capital...then come down to the leylines, I'll wait for you there."
The man's voice disappeared.
The monster suddenly broke free from half of the restraining spell, she flapped her left wing violently, and suddenly shot random arrows!
"Don't be distracted!" In order to make his companions aware of the critical situation, Heather roared forward.Peleas hastily blocked it with a wind wall.The sharp instrument fell to the ground with a clang. It turned out to be sharp blood crystals mixed with broken bones.That monster can turn flesh and blood into weapons...
Peleas immediately thought of the "beast" of the Dienlian people, which could use magic to strengthen its giant horn into an indestructible blade.This feeling of deja vu again, the nameless beast, the research on monsters, and even this graveyard-like group of spells...Peleas suddenly realized that this was his knowledge!
The black mage stole his memory to create this monster!
This is……
Pelias looked at the giant shadow rising from the flames, like countless undead wailing, rising in the heat wave.
"it's me……"
The change of the girl, the death of the villagers, and...
"Neil, go to the left!" Heather ran.
The stone thrown by the sorcerer awakened the earth, and the land suddenly turned into a staircase, and the young knight leaped up the mound, climbing like a swift swallow.Heather attracted the monster's attention from the front, and she saw that Neil had climbed to the top of the mound.The time has come!
Neil held the sword, aimed at the monster's back, and jumped down!
"Come on!" the sorcerer roared, attaching the strengthening spell to the killing blade—the metal seemed to be no longer metal, but a sanction from the sky.
When the blade cut through the monster's spine, Neil's almost forceful touch was as easy as piercing a table knife into a piece of bread.However, the screams and the tearing of flesh and blood immediately brought him back to his senses. The monster grabbed his back angrily, and Neil avoided it.But just as he jumped off the monster, before he could stand still, the huge fish tail hit him violently——
"Neil!" Peleas hurriedly used a spell to catch Neil, so that he would not be pushed into the fire.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Heather went around to the side of the monster, and thrust the obsidian spear into the monster's collarbone.
"'Heavy'!" The ancient Ibane spell broke out, and Heather's gun crushed the monster so much that it couldn't turn over. Peleas hurriedly strengthened the binding spell again.
Bloody scales were scattered all over the place, shining brightly in the firelight.
The girl struggled hoarsely like a captured mermaid.Her spine was severed, her wings were firmly nailed to the ground, and the obsidian spear with heavy spells and curses was pressed on her body.
It's almost over.
"It has to be removed before she regenerates." Heather rolled up her sleeves, even though blood was all over her body.
Neil asked anxiously, "Remove what?"
"The source of pollution," the scholar's voice was weak, "is the culprit who turned her into a monster..."
"Isn't that—!"
Neil didn't dare to imagine, but Heather's purpose was exactly that.
In the monster's translucent abdomen, surrounded by blood vessels, the shape of that thing can be vaguely seen - a deformed fetus.It was polluted by the blood of monsters, and then became a source of pollution, eroding the mother body.
"The magic flag did it..."
Heather ignored it, and raised the knife silently, aiming at the prototype of the monster.She knows best what it feels like, so why not herself?Son of rape, this birth is not due to a contract or a union of love, not even a coincidence of fate.Atrocity, pain, bullying, being hurt and insulted, her birth is just a testament to the misfortune of that woman.No matter how hard she tries to please her mother, after a short period of warmth, she can see the pained look on the woman's face again.Why should the weak be humiliated?
The warlock raised his knife, and the monster moaned and writhed, but made no resistance.
"Don't worry about Ophelia, it's all over," Shinan said softly, "This is not the pain you deserve, those people should be punished."
Pelias knew very well that the girl would never come back.
"I'll take you back to the academy, do what you really want to do, no one can hurt you again."
Heather comforted the student, trying to smile as much as possible.The monster was still struggling, the tiger and the man's head tried to bite her, only the girl's head calmly looked up to the sky, offering itself to fate, crying, helpless and powerless.Heather cried too, she would do it, she knew it.
"careful!"
Neil swung his sword nimbly, and with a bang, a broken arrow fell to the ground.
A man came from behind the flames, full of murderous intent, roaring like a beast, his light-colored messy hair was stained with blood.
"Icelanders!"
Soon, they recognized the person who came - the leader of the Icelands, the man who tried to lead the monsters to attack the imperial capital.
"Radney...you still don't let go!" Heather stood up and looked down at the student who had betrayed her.
Neal was furious.It was the man who stepped on and broke the teacher's finger!As soon as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Peleas.Wait a minute, Heather has something to say to this man.
The barbarian leader spat
"Those cowards are gone. Only I am the true warrior of the Icefields, the disaster of the Sybyls."
"Turn around and go back now, and think about how to make your people live better." Heather said.
"Pooh!"
The leader of the ice field sneered: "Living in the shadow of the invaders? Just like you? You deny that you are an ice field man, so what are you? Who will admit you?"
Heather's face remained unchanged.
"You thought being renamed as a scholar made you a reborn? No, you're still that pathetic, disgusting, powerless bastard."
"My mother and I had no choice. She was taken away and forced."
"Bitch!"
"Radney, you used to be very sympathetic. You felt sorry for my mother. After I left the ice field, you helped me bring the relics of Grandma Islay." Heather took out the necklace from her shirt, A rough gold ring dangled from the chain. "It was she who saved me back then and brought me back to the tribe when I was about to freeze to death. She once told me: To live, don't hate anyone, let alone yourself...but I..."
Heather wanted to say something, but couldn't continue.
The Iceman shouted: "You hate us! You don't want to admit it even when you see your own people being killed! You never agree with me, am I your most failed student? I really regret that at that time Then trust you!"
"No, I have always regretted that you left the academy. If I had been more experienced and able to enlighten you, maybe you would not have taken the extreme path. I am responsible for what you have become today."
The man smiled arrogantly, pointing to the still struggling monster: "But now, we have a way to take revenge on the Sibyls. Have you seen her? What kind of powerful monster is this...Look at this sea of flames, This village! She made it all! What if it were an imperial capital? She will definitely not let me down, right, beauty?"
Heather lowered her head, and the shadow covered her face, "I'll give you one last chance—turn around and don't appear in front of me again."
"No!!!" The man almost fell into madness, "For this day of revenge, for the creation of this monster, my father did not hesitate to sacrifice his head! I want them to die! I want them to die, all of them——!!!"
"yes."
Heather drew out her dagger and turned her back.
This move angered the arrogant ice man, he couldn't stand this kind of provocation.
"You do not deserve!!!"
Howling, the man pounced on Heather almost like a beast.The giant ax cut through the ashes and heat waves, and the silver light was about to bite the warlock's back——
"Shi..." Neil was anxious.
But Heather is a seasoned warlock, and she understood the way of the attacker's back attack almost without spells.She rolled sideways, and the big ax that split the air was difficult to turn for a moment. At this moment, she stabbed with her backhand——
"Ahhh!"
Time seemed to flow again.The savage screamed, clutching his bleeding thigh, which was pierced with a warlock's dagger.Heather wanted to give up, but the barbarians still did not give up and wanted to bite Heather.The warlock dodged again and didn't hurt him again.This went back and forth three or two times, until the barbarian's strength was gradually exhausted, but he still gritted his teeth.
"I am going to kill you!!"
Heather finally stopped, and said blankly: "You go, if you don't want to die from the devouring technique of this village."
Panting, the Savage glanced at his melting feet.He glared at Heather viciously, wishing he could skin and bone her.
"If you want to die here, I won't stop you. You have harmed her and implicated the people of this village." Heather hit the ground, and the runes of the Devouring Curse swarmed like swarms of termites, climbing up The savage's legs burrowed into the wound like maggots.
"Hee hee...hahahahahahahaha!"
The blood-stained barbarian laughed wildly, "I can't beat you, you'll always be the teacher. But a real Tatar warrior never backs down. If that's the case...then we'll gamble on her! She'll carry my hatred , to give the Sibyls real destruction!!!"
After all, the barbarian suddenly rushed towards the monster——
!
This is to-
Heather wanted to stop him, but it was too late, the man deliberately rushed towards the monster's claws.Sure enough, the sharp claws penetrated deeply into the man's body, and then violently began to tear the prey.The smell of blood made people excited, and the two heads on the monster's back rattled their teeth, and began to devour the bait offered by the sacrifice.
The scene was so bloody that Neil couldn't help but shield the teacher behind him.Even Heather was stunned, for a moment she didn't understand why the people of the ice field were being eaten by monsters on their own initiative.
"Hahaha, ga, hahaha," the man laughed wildly and screamed, "Eat me!! I will be with my father, let me be a part of your monster!!! Avenge me, kill them, replace me Kill them!!!!"
"madness……"
Heather couldn't bear it anymore, and swiped her knife at the monster who was tearing the man's claws!The monster was in pain, and seemed to want to let go of the bloody man, but he was unwilling to let go of the half-eaten meat.Heather thrust again, causing the monster to flinch again.Pelias couldn't wait any longer, the sharp wind blade immediately assisted Heather's attack, the man was dying, saliva flowed, and the monster was about to let go——
"Don't insult her like this, she is not your tool for revenge!"
Suddenly, a sharp white light flashed across from nowhere——
One arm fell to the ground, and Heather froze, she looked down at her left hand.The place where the arm should have been was now empty, blood spurted out, followed by severe pain.Only when her hand was broken did she realize it.
"Heather!!!"
Neil roared and swung his sword, cutting off the monster's sharp bone knife.The monster pulled the bone out of its body, and used magic power to turn its own bone into a whip-like blade...
Heather clenched her teeth, and attacked again, trying to drag the remains of the Iceman from the monster's mouth.
"Don't eat this kind of meat, you're not a monster, he doesn't deserve it!"
As if it understood Heather's words, the monster let out a wail—like crying out of fear, or just a simple animal howl.With the assistance of Pelias and Neil, Heather succeeded, and the man was pulled out of the monster's mouth!Heather roared, desperately calling for blasting to kill monsters!
"no!"
But Pelias stopped Heather and forcibly released the blasting technique that was about to take shape.During the chaos, the overlapping binding spells of the two mages weakened, and the monster took advantage of this gap to break free.
She flew up, making a piercing scream again!The magic circle all over the village responded to the call of the spellcaster, instantly injecting hundreds of stored lives into her body.The high-intensity energy flow caused the entire space to heat up suddenly, so hot that it was really embarrassing.
The monster screamed at last—the wound healed, the broken bones strengthened, the old scales shook off, and the limbs that were bloated like tumors fell off.
It wasn't until his eyes adjusted to the temperature that Neil wiped away his tears, and then he saw "her" clearly again.
"She" has changed.
More delicate, more... closer to the shape of a new creature.Huge wings, limbs, fish tail... That monster is no longer a chaotic lump of flesh, no longer rough with many mouths and tumors.
"The excess flesh was absorbed, leaving only organs with obvious functions." Peleas was also surprised: "She is choosing a new form for herself..."
"Don't stop me!!! Kill her now!" Shi Nan still wanted to fight, but her body couldn't hold on anymore.The blood from the broken arm was gushing like a fountain. If Pelias hadn't stopped her just now, the blasting technique would have exhausted her entire life.She knew that Peleas had protected her, but what was life at this moment?
The monster flew up and looked at the three humans in the ruins in the air. "She" opened her mouth, as if she wanted to express something, but she only sang one sound, as light as a memory of a summer night.As if mourning the dead.The creature circled twice over the sea of fire, and then disappeared into the night sky again.
"She escaped!"
Heather was still trembling, watching her face turn pale gradually.Neil hurried to help the teacher, racing against time to treat Heather's wound.
Pelias handled it skillfully, "Calm down Heather, we can't kill her now, because she can still get power from the leylines and regenerate constantly. Her energy source must be cut off."
Heather was panting, dizzy and blue around her eyes. "How about that guy?"
She means the Iceborne.
"Just now I was on my last breath," Neil hastily handed out all the bandage needs to the teacher, "That guy muttered something like 'revenge and revenge', and he died not long after."
"Hmph, what you deserve." Peleas said softly.
Heather moved her body in pain, and grabbed Peleas' arm with her good hand.The scholar didn't stop, and continued to immerse himself in the treatment, "What's wrong?"
"Peleas, you just said...you want to cut off the source of energy in the leylines to prevent her from regenerating. Tell me, how to..." She is getting weaker and weaker, and she may faint at any time, Peleas Sri Lanka relieved the patient's pain with healing techniques, and at the same time accelerated the progress of the work.
"Well, I want to go into the leylines." The scholar said indifferently.
Through Heather's almost dizzy expression, Neil realized the potential danger of the teacher's behavior.He tensed up, trying to understand the conversation between the mages.
"You can't go!"
"must go."
"The mage turns his consciousness into a part of the earth and enters the veins of the earth, thereby stopping the earthquake... This is an extremely ancient spell. Of course you have read "Bones of the Earth", and the spells recorded there can only be casted, and cannot be lifted !" Heather was really anxious.
Can't get rid of it?land?The teacher wants to dig the ground?Neil was stunned.
"It is an incomparable tome, the essence of ancient magic. It must be so, because the black mage cast ancient spells on the leylines that we no longer know. It is too complicated. I have to go to the core to find out the solution Otherwise, as long as the black mage thinks, earthquakes will strike again and again, and the power of the leylines will continue to support...'her'." The scholar is very good at doing two things at once, he patiently explained to his friend, and at the same time ended the wound treatment perfectly .
"Peleas, please listen to me... the black mage asked you to go to the leylines to remove this spell. It is definitely a trap. Don't use that spell. Once you go there, then..." Heather finally cared about Neil.
Neil opened his mouth in surprise, and he finally understood.
"It's... hard to come back after you go? Is that what you mean, teacher..."
Peleas sighed, looking up at the surrounding ruins, flames, and mutilated corpses.The tragic scene is still burning.The firelight illuminated the mage's silver hair like lustrous satin.
"It was my fault," he hung his head, "I had to use that spell."
The author has something to say: Friends, I’m back, I’m really sorry, I haven’t updated QwQ for two months, I was busy preparing materials for further studies two months ago, and I just got rid of OTZ two days ago
In the future, I will resume updating [-] words every Friday (it’s true, I have time now, the first two months were really busy, I got sick one after another, and I ate snacks crazy when I was stressed, and I got angry ==)
Thanks friends!
It will probably be over soon, and after the end, it is agreed to send beautiful postcards to readers (it is really beautiful, I bought some more haha, I wish you all the best in three dimensions).
Thanks for talking to me on Weibo and encouraging my friends.It’s really not easy for me to finish preparing those materials, I’m already satisfied to this extent XDDD
Love you guys!
People made up those Phantasmal stories only because of superstition, he kept telling himself.Until that night, the first scale grew on his left wrist.He only found out when he took off his scholar's robes.During the day, he prepared snacks and took little Neil to the river for a picnic.Children like to play in water, run around happily, and feed otters by the river.He looked at the child, weaving the wreath for the boy.Perhaps because he was too relaxed, he fell asleep on the grass.When he woke up, he found the boy sleeping next to him, holding his long hair gently in his hands.
It should have been a happy day.
However, a black scale grew on his skin.He was not surprised; scholars are all too familiar with the ominous omen of the depletion of the "roster."But Peleas was still sick. The thing looked oiled and creepy by candlelight.He cut it off with a knife and quickly wrapped it in a bandage.
Two days later, when he took off the bandage, there were more scales on his wrist.A few days later, the right hand also appeared.Gradually, the hair on the comb turned white.For a long time, he didn't dare to look in the mirror, dare not go out, and he didn't even want to see little Neil.
"Teacher, what's the matter with you, teacher?" He dared not open even when the child was crying and knocking on the door.
His body is transforming.His intuition as a scholar told him that this change could hardly be explained by exhaustion of the "roster".He searched through the classics, and all he got were secretive descriptions.how could be?Isn't he already ready?Why do you get scared again when the bad omen comes?
Peleas is not afraid of death, but has been longing for it for a long time.What really frightened him was that the body was turning into something else.
Do dragons really exist?
Or ask the other way around—why doesn't the monster named "dragon" that appears in many classics don't exist?
He wanted to know.
"teacher?"
……
"Teacher, are you okay?" Neil asked softly, "You have been silent since the beginning, and neither is Teacher Heather."
He came to his senses.
The wind howled and the horses galloped.They must stop the black mage and the monster as soon as possible.
Peleas glanced to the left. Heather was riding alone on a horse, and remained silent.Neil adjusted the posture of holding the rein and protected him in his arms.The cold wind was blowing, and Neil's breath was always blowing on the back of his neck, which was warm.Pelias was so anxious that he couldn't speak.
"In the southeast."
The light of finder guides them.The warlock cast another strengthening spell, and the horse galloped forward.The night was so dark that there was no moon in the haze.There was a faint blue spot of light in the sky, which they could vaguely see.
That's her.
Heather was sure that the girl's body was now glowing with light blue phosphorescence, like a monster from the deep sea.
The point of light descended from the sky and disappeared behind the hills, disturbingly.
"Oops, that direction is...!" Neil suddenly realized.
"what?"
Just then they saw an ominous fire rising behind the hill.A corner of the sky was burned, and thick smoke billowed.
"She attacked that village!"
When they hurriedly rode up the hill, thick smoke was blowing in their faces, and the strong wind could not blow it away. The house was burning, and the ignited windmill screamed and spun, blown by the blazing wind, like a dying giant in the flames. gradually lost its form.
The horror of the fire made Neil instinctively afraid.
"Mother……"
"Calm down Neil, look at me." Pelias stroked the student's cheek.The young man looked terrified, his forehead was covered with sweat, as if he was still in a nightmare.But these comforting words obviously worked. Neil looked at the teacher, and his breathing gradually subsided.
"Yes, yes..." Neil regained his senses, "Is this the black mage who set the fire? Or was she... the fire must be put out quickly, the people in the village may still be asleep!"
Heather shook her head.
"No, I'm afraid there are no living people left in this village."
"How is that possible? The fire has just started, and the villagers must be woken up quickly...!" Neil rushed down the hillside in a hurry.
Peleas didn't express his opinion, but raised his short tin rod, and said the incantation of "ringing" in the ancient Ibane language——
All of a sudden, all the items of the same quality as the tin staff returned to answer the mage's call - the farm's hoes, iron nails, horseshoes from the stables, coins, Nier's sword and armor, the mason's hammer, the silver ring, and the top floor of the council hall The big clock... Countless metal and iron objects woke up, ding ding dong dong, echoing each other like a pack of anxious wolves.
The sound of knocking resounded across the plain in the night.
Neil was taken aback at first, but then thought excitedly, the villagers must wake up and run for their lives!But when they actually arrived at the burning village, the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
"why……"
The warning bells have stopped, and the village is still dead. There is no breath of living people, only the crackling of flames engulfing wood and thatch.
"Where are people? Impossible, it's just now..." Neil rushed to a house that hadn't caught fire. As soon as he opened the door, he felt that no one was in the house.
The whole village seemed to have died before the fire came, as if the flames were not killing, but making final preparations for burial.Neil finally realized what Heather had said before, that there were no living people here.
"It's not just death." Heather touched the ground with the obsidian blade, and the feedback from the detection spell was disappointing. "The villagers here are not only dead, but their bodies are gone. It should have happened just now. In these empty houses And the remnants of human body heat."
Peleas asked, "What about the animals? Cats and dogs, horses, or those horrible bugs in the kitchen."
"Disappeared too, that's what the detection spell says."
Pelias frowned: "The instrument panel of 'North Star' failed again."
"That's why you scholars are relying too much on utensils. It's good to use 'Vientiane Visibility' at this time."
"That method is too exhausting, and I usually don't use it lightly..." Peleas said shamefully.
Heather drove the obsidian blade into the ground.Under the revelation of the incantation, the false appearance dissipated, and the magic system applied to the object was revealed—it seemed that countless glowing snakes sprang up from the ground, squirming in a certain direction, and Neil was startled!Even climbed onto his boots, Neil raised his feet, only to realize that they were actually densely packed runes.He suddenly felt uncomfortable, his body was heavy, and he couldn't breathe.
"This, what is this?"
I saw those tiny runes, like swarms of termites, crawling all over the streets and walls, wriggling in the firelight.
Heather didn't have time to say more, and immediately pressed the shoulders of Neil and Peleas.Under the effect of the concealment technique, the three of them seemed to be as cold as stones.Neil found that the light symbols crawling on the boots faded away, and his body gradually relaxed.
"We're safe now," said Heather.
Pelias explained to the students: "It's because I didn't teach you. 'Vientiane Visibility' can remove the superficial effect of the spell and expose the structure of the spell itself, so that the caster's conception and layout can be interpreted, and then This spell interferes directly."
"This is indeed a very vicious spell. Its basic principle is 'dissolving', which can be triggered by any living creature with body temperature. I'm afraid the villagers were killed in their sleep..."
"Not only... Heather, look here."
"Spells with superimposed energy recovery? That is to say... the caster dissolves the entire village and absorbs them as energy into the entire spell circle?"
"In other words, this magic circle is a small-scale, mimetic 'book' that swallows all these villagers." Peleas turned his head and continued to explain to Neil; "It's like throwing firewood into the stove, The wood turns to fire. And the black mage can harness the energy."
The two mages lowered their heads to study the spell structure, completely ignoring the surrounding fire, and the walls of the house might collapse at any time.Neil was in a hurry and forcibly pulled the two of them to a safe place.Just then, a scream broke the silence.Neil pulled out his sword, and the shadow of the giant beast was reflected on the burning wall, and it was fleeting in the flames.He turned around, and the breath of the beast appeared in another direction. There were beasts lurking everywhere in the burning street.
"The monster is attracted!"
"After all, this magic circle contains a huge amount of energy, absorbing the lives of hundreds of people. What is it for..."
A hairless dog jumped out of the corner and bared its teeth at them.But soon, the monster wailed, because its body was melting like wax.The dense runes are like tiny teeth and arms, dragging the creature deep.Neil couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to cut off the monster's head.Soon, the corpse completely melted into liquid and was absorbed by the magic circle.The huge energy attracted a large number of monsters, and at the same time, these monsters became nutrients for the magic circle.
Pelias was very angry.
"Damn it, this is the Abby rune I rewritten to catch monsters... He actually copied it and used it in the magic circle for killing people!? Look, Heather, this paragraph is exactly the same as mine. I used it in the He must have stolen it from there." Peleas peeled off the fur of the corpse with a tin rod, and the tin rod was consistent with the runes flowing on the ground.
"Teacher, the focus now is..." Neil just wanted to remind the two mages.
In the flames, singing came from afar.
"If you see Benaris on her branching river... take your bow and put on your shiny gold tube top..."
It was a girl's voice.
she is here!
The three of them suddenly tensed up.
"Because that's the vulture flying over Patani...the sea is overwhelmed by a flock of white butterflies..."
The words in the song were slurred but still recognizable, a far cry from the husky, monstrous voice he had heard in the Tower earlier.Pelias was also aware of this change, and he also found that the flow of the magic circle was in the direction of the singing... In this way, it is likely that the black mage built this super-large magic circle to strengthen the monster. The people of the village are used as living sacrifices.Scholars have tried to unravel this matrix, but it is simply too complicated.This group of spells seems to have been woven together in a hodgepodge of stolen spells, ancient lost Ibane spells, and direct connections to leylines.Peleas can only weaken it, not eliminate it.
"Mahdeva...Let your sails float on the water..."
They went around the flames and the barricades, and rushed to the square in the center of the village, where the singing seemed to come from.The two mages felt a powerful magic flow... as if the roots buried deep in the ground were shrinking, sending nutrients to the heart of darkness.Something is entrenched there, sucking.
"Offer your bright red flowers to the babbling brook...the snows of Chatan fall on..."
she is there.The bronze god statue in the center of the square has been broken, and the monster is lying on the ruins, with the girl's body remaining on it, still singing, and its wingspan flapping slowly with the singing.Her translucent body is stretched, and the bones and internal organs are clearly visible, like the crystallization of the sea.The white hair fell down, covering the other two heads on her body.She just sang with such a pure expression, looking into a sea of flames.
Layers of flame are like roses, and she is poisonous dew.
so beautiful...
Neal thought so, and felt sad again.
"Heather, the Binding Curse! Don't let her fly again!"
With the previous experience, the two mages cooperated more quickly.Heather first used the silence technique to prevent the monster's lethal scream.The two weaved and launched the Binding Curse almost simultaneously, as if there were double chains firmly binding the monster.Sensing hostility, she spread her wings but couldn't move.
"Arrow!" Pelea shouted.
Neil could only obey the mage's command and shoot the sharp arrow at the monster—it was originally an arrow, but under the mage's call, the magic wind simulated the flow of flying arrows, and in an instant countless invisible sharp arrows fell from the sky, deeply Plunge into the monster's body!
"Gah—!"
Blood spurted out, and the originally translucent body was immediately stained with blood, and the girl's head revealed a painful expression.Neil hesitated.The monster screamed, and the runes on the ground suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light. Energy poured in continuously, pouring into the tumor-like body—her wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Surprise, right? This child has learned to be independent, and she will protect herself."
The voice of the black mage suddenly appeared in his ears. Neil looked around, but the man's voice seemed to come from inside his head.
"Come out if you have the ability, hell!"
"Useless Neil, that man isn't here, not even the shadow of his substitute before. It's really underestimating..." Peleas suppressed his anger.
"Yes, Mage Silver. I have obtained the experimental results I want, and the rest are just sideshows. The magic circle that devoured the entire village was made by herself, not me. An apprentice can be transformed into a demon Shout has such a powerful spell, what if a mage turns into a monster? Can you stop her?"
"You don't want to run!"
"Master Baiyin, if you want to cut off her supply of magic power and prevent her from swallowing the entire imperial capital...then come down to the leylines, I'll wait for you there."
The man's voice disappeared.
The monster suddenly broke free from half of the restraining spell, she flapped her left wing violently, and suddenly shot random arrows!
"Don't be distracted!" In order to make his companions aware of the critical situation, Heather roared forward.Peleas hastily blocked it with a wind wall.The sharp instrument fell to the ground with a clang. It turned out to be sharp blood crystals mixed with broken bones.That monster can turn flesh and blood into weapons...
Peleas immediately thought of the "beast" of the Dienlian people, which could use magic to strengthen its giant horn into an indestructible blade.This feeling of deja vu again, the nameless beast, the research on monsters, and even this graveyard-like group of spells...Peleas suddenly realized that this was his knowledge!
The black mage stole his memory to create this monster!
This is……
Pelias looked at the giant shadow rising from the flames, like countless undead wailing, rising in the heat wave.
"it's me……"
The change of the girl, the death of the villagers, and...
"Neil, go to the left!" Heather ran.
The stone thrown by the sorcerer awakened the earth, and the land suddenly turned into a staircase, and the young knight leaped up the mound, climbing like a swift swallow.Heather attracted the monster's attention from the front, and she saw that Neil had climbed to the top of the mound.The time has come!
Neil held the sword, aimed at the monster's back, and jumped down!
"Come on!" the sorcerer roared, attaching the strengthening spell to the killing blade—the metal seemed to be no longer metal, but a sanction from the sky.
When the blade cut through the monster's spine, Neil's almost forceful touch was as easy as piercing a table knife into a piece of bread.However, the screams and the tearing of flesh and blood immediately brought him back to his senses. The monster grabbed his back angrily, and Neil avoided it.But just as he jumped off the monster, before he could stand still, the huge fish tail hit him violently——
"Neil!" Peleas hurriedly used a spell to catch Neil, so that he would not be pushed into the fire.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Heather went around to the side of the monster, and thrust the obsidian spear into the monster's collarbone.
"'Heavy'!" The ancient Ibane spell broke out, and Heather's gun crushed the monster so much that it couldn't turn over. Peleas hurriedly strengthened the binding spell again.
Bloody scales were scattered all over the place, shining brightly in the firelight.
The girl struggled hoarsely like a captured mermaid.Her spine was severed, her wings were firmly nailed to the ground, and the obsidian spear with heavy spells and curses was pressed on her body.
It's almost over.
"It has to be removed before she regenerates." Heather rolled up her sleeves, even though blood was all over her body.
Neil asked anxiously, "Remove what?"
"The source of pollution," the scholar's voice was weak, "is the culprit who turned her into a monster..."
"Isn't that—!"
Neil didn't dare to imagine, but Heather's purpose was exactly that.
In the monster's translucent abdomen, surrounded by blood vessels, the shape of that thing can be vaguely seen - a deformed fetus.It was polluted by the blood of monsters, and then became a source of pollution, eroding the mother body.
"The magic flag did it..."
Heather ignored it, and raised the knife silently, aiming at the prototype of the monster.She knows best what it feels like, so why not herself?Son of rape, this birth is not due to a contract or a union of love, not even a coincidence of fate.Atrocity, pain, bullying, being hurt and insulted, her birth is just a testament to the misfortune of that woman.No matter how hard she tries to please her mother, after a short period of warmth, she can see the pained look on the woman's face again.Why should the weak be humiliated?
The warlock raised his knife, and the monster moaned and writhed, but made no resistance.
"Don't worry about Ophelia, it's all over," Shinan said softly, "This is not the pain you deserve, those people should be punished."
Pelias knew very well that the girl would never come back.
"I'll take you back to the academy, do what you really want to do, no one can hurt you again."
Heather comforted the student, trying to smile as much as possible.The monster was still struggling, the tiger and the man's head tried to bite her, only the girl's head calmly looked up to the sky, offering itself to fate, crying, helpless and powerless.Heather cried too, she would do it, she knew it.
"careful!"
Neil swung his sword nimbly, and with a bang, a broken arrow fell to the ground.
A man came from behind the flames, full of murderous intent, roaring like a beast, his light-colored messy hair was stained with blood.
"Icelanders!"
Soon, they recognized the person who came - the leader of the Icelands, the man who tried to lead the monsters to attack the imperial capital.
"Radney...you still don't let go!" Heather stood up and looked down at the student who had betrayed her.
Neal was furious.It was the man who stepped on and broke the teacher's finger!As soon as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Peleas.Wait a minute, Heather has something to say to this man.
The barbarian leader spat
"Those cowards are gone. Only I am the true warrior of the Icefields, the disaster of the Sybyls."
"Turn around and go back now, and think about how to make your people live better." Heather said.
"Pooh!"
The leader of the ice field sneered: "Living in the shadow of the invaders? Just like you? You deny that you are an ice field man, so what are you? Who will admit you?"
Heather's face remained unchanged.
"You thought being renamed as a scholar made you a reborn? No, you're still that pathetic, disgusting, powerless bastard."
"My mother and I had no choice. She was taken away and forced."
"Bitch!"
"Radney, you used to be very sympathetic. You felt sorry for my mother. After I left the ice field, you helped me bring the relics of Grandma Islay." Heather took out the necklace from her shirt, A rough gold ring dangled from the chain. "It was she who saved me back then and brought me back to the tribe when I was about to freeze to death. She once told me: To live, don't hate anyone, let alone yourself...but I..."
Heather wanted to say something, but couldn't continue.
The Iceman shouted: "You hate us! You don't want to admit it even when you see your own people being killed! You never agree with me, am I your most failed student? I really regret that at that time Then trust you!"
"No, I have always regretted that you left the academy. If I had been more experienced and able to enlighten you, maybe you would not have taken the extreme path. I am responsible for what you have become today."
The man smiled arrogantly, pointing to the still struggling monster: "But now, we have a way to take revenge on the Sibyls. Have you seen her? What kind of powerful monster is this...Look at this sea of flames, This village! She made it all! What if it were an imperial capital? She will definitely not let me down, right, beauty?"
Heather lowered her head, and the shadow covered her face, "I'll give you one last chance—turn around and don't appear in front of me again."
"No!!!" The man almost fell into madness, "For this day of revenge, for the creation of this monster, my father did not hesitate to sacrifice his head! I want them to die! I want them to die, all of them——!!!"
"yes."
Heather drew out her dagger and turned her back.
This move angered the arrogant ice man, he couldn't stand this kind of provocation.
"You do not deserve!!!"
Howling, the man pounced on Heather almost like a beast.The giant ax cut through the ashes and heat waves, and the silver light was about to bite the warlock's back——
"Shi..." Neil was anxious.
But Heather is a seasoned warlock, and she understood the way of the attacker's back attack almost without spells.She rolled sideways, and the big ax that split the air was difficult to turn for a moment. At this moment, she stabbed with her backhand——
"Ahhh!"
Time seemed to flow again.The savage screamed, clutching his bleeding thigh, which was pierced with a warlock's dagger.Heather wanted to give up, but the barbarians still did not give up and wanted to bite Heather.The warlock dodged again and didn't hurt him again.This went back and forth three or two times, until the barbarian's strength was gradually exhausted, but he still gritted his teeth.
"I am going to kill you!!"
Heather finally stopped, and said blankly: "You go, if you don't want to die from the devouring technique of this village."
Panting, the Savage glanced at his melting feet.He glared at Heather viciously, wishing he could skin and bone her.
"If you want to die here, I won't stop you. You have harmed her and implicated the people of this village." Heather hit the ground, and the runes of the Devouring Curse swarmed like swarms of termites, climbing up The savage's legs burrowed into the wound like maggots.
"Hee hee...hahahahahahahaha!"
The blood-stained barbarian laughed wildly, "I can't beat you, you'll always be the teacher. But a real Tatar warrior never backs down. If that's the case...then we'll gamble on her! She'll carry my hatred , to give the Sibyls real destruction!!!"
After all, the barbarian suddenly rushed towards the monster——
!
This is to-
Heather wanted to stop him, but it was too late, the man deliberately rushed towards the monster's claws.Sure enough, the sharp claws penetrated deeply into the man's body, and then violently began to tear the prey.The smell of blood made people excited, and the two heads on the monster's back rattled their teeth, and began to devour the bait offered by the sacrifice.
The scene was so bloody that Neil couldn't help but shield the teacher behind him.Even Heather was stunned, for a moment she didn't understand why the people of the ice field were being eaten by monsters on their own initiative.
"Hahaha, ga, hahaha," the man laughed wildly and screamed, "Eat me!! I will be with my father, let me be a part of your monster!!! Avenge me, kill them, replace me Kill them!!!!"
"madness……"
Heather couldn't bear it anymore, and swiped her knife at the monster who was tearing the man's claws!The monster was in pain, and seemed to want to let go of the bloody man, but he was unwilling to let go of the half-eaten meat.Heather thrust again, causing the monster to flinch again.Pelias couldn't wait any longer, the sharp wind blade immediately assisted Heather's attack, the man was dying, saliva flowed, and the monster was about to let go——
"Don't insult her like this, she is not your tool for revenge!"
Suddenly, a sharp white light flashed across from nowhere——
One arm fell to the ground, and Heather froze, she looked down at her left hand.The place where the arm should have been was now empty, blood spurted out, followed by severe pain.Only when her hand was broken did she realize it.
"Heather!!!"
Neil roared and swung his sword, cutting off the monster's sharp bone knife.The monster pulled the bone out of its body, and used magic power to turn its own bone into a whip-like blade...
Heather clenched her teeth, and attacked again, trying to drag the remains of the Iceman from the monster's mouth.
"Don't eat this kind of meat, you're not a monster, he doesn't deserve it!"
As if it understood Heather's words, the monster let out a wail—like crying out of fear, or just a simple animal howl.With the assistance of Pelias and Neil, Heather succeeded, and the man was pulled out of the monster's mouth!Heather roared, desperately calling for blasting to kill monsters!
"no!"
But Pelias stopped Heather and forcibly released the blasting technique that was about to take shape.During the chaos, the overlapping binding spells of the two mages weakened, and the monster took advantage of this gap to break free.
She flew up, making a piercing scream again!The magic circle all over the village responded to the call of the spellcaster, instantly injecting hundreds of stored lives into her body.The high-intensity energy flow caused the entire space to heat up suddenly, so hot that it was really embarrassing.
The monster screamed at last—the wound healed, the broken bones strengthened, the old scales shook off, and the limbs that were bloated like tumors fell off.
It wasn't until his eyes adjusted to the temperature that Neil wiped away his tears, and then he saw "her" clearly again.
"She" has changed.
More delicate, more... closer to the shape of a new creature.Huge wings, limbs, fish tail... That monster is no longer a chaotic lump of flesh, no longer rough with many mouths and tumors.
"The excess flesh was absorbed, leaving only organs with obvious functions." Peleas was also surprised: "She is choosing a new form for herself..."
"Don't stop me!!! Kill her now!" Shi Nan still wanted to fight, but her body couldn't hold on anymore.The blood from the broken arm was gushing like a fountain. If Pelias hadn't stopped her just now, the blasting technique would have exhausted her entire life.She knew that Peleas had protected her, but what was life at this moment?
The monster flew up and looked at the three humans in the ruins in the air. "She" opened her mouth, as if she wanted to express something, but she only sang one sound, as light as a memory of a summer night.As if mourning the dead.The creature circled twice over the sea of fire, and then disappeared into the night sky again.
"She escaped!"
Heather was still trembling, watching her face turn pale gradually.Neil hurried to help the teacher, racing against time to treat Heather's wound.
Pelias handled it skillfully, "Calm down Heather, we can't kill her now, because she can still get power from the leylines and regenerate constantly. Her energy source must be cut off."
Heather was panting, dizzy and blue around her eyes. "How about that guy?"
She means the Iceborne.
"Just now I was on my last breath," Neil hastily handed out all the bandage needs to the teacher, "That guy muttered something like 'revenge and revenge', and he died not long after."
"Hmph, what you deserve." Peleas said softly.
Heather moved her body in pain, and grabbed Peleas' arm with her good hand.The scholar didn't stop, and continued to immerse himself in the treatment, "What's wrong?"
"Peleas, you just said...you want to cut off the source of energy in the leylines to prevent her from regenerating. Tell me, how to..." She is getting weaker and weaker, and she may faint at any time, Peleas Sri Lanka relieved the patient's pain with healing techniques, and at the same time accelerated the progress of the work.
"Well, I want to go into the leylines." The scholar said indifferently.
Through Heather's almost dizzy expression, Neil realized the potential danger of the teacher's behavior.He tensed up, trying to understand the conversation between the mages.
"You can't go!"
"must go."
"The mage turns his consciousness into a part of the earth and enters the veins of the earth, thereby stopping the earthquake... This is an extremely ancient spell. Of course you have read "Bones of the Earth", and the spells recorded there can only be casted, and cannot be lifted !" Heather was really anxious.
Can't get rid of it?land?The teacher wants to dig the ground?Neil was stunned.
"It is an incomparable tome, the essence of ancient magic. It must be so, because the black mage cast ancient spells on the leylines that we no longer know. It is too complicated. I have to go to the core to find out the solution Otherwise, as long as the black mage thinks, earthquakes will strike again and again, and the power of the leylines will continue to support...'her'." The scholar is very good at doing two things at once, he patiently explained to his friend, and at the same time ended the wound treatment perfectly .
"Peleas, please listen to me... the black mage asked you to go to the leylines to remove this spell. It is definitely a trap. Don't use that spell. Once you go there, then..." Heather finally cared about Neil.
Neil opened his mouth in surprise, and he finally understood.
"It's... hard to come back after you go? Is that what you mean, teacher..."
Peleas sighed, looking up at the surrounding ruins, flames, and mutilated corpses.The tragic scene is still burning.The firelight illuminated the mage's silver hair like lustrous satin.
"It was my fault," he hung his head, "I had to use that spell."
The author has something to say: Friends, I’m back, I’m really sorry, I haven’t updated QwQ for two months, I was busy preparing materials for further studies two months ago, and I just got rid of OTZ two days ago
