Lord of Hyranza

The sound of burning flames came from behind Suldak, but there was no flame.

Hiding behind the bronze statue, he couldn't help but look back, and saw that the necromancer's body had turned into a black flame soaring into the sky, even the giant zombie under his feet and Miss Fanny beside him were all covered in black flames. Wrapped, it was burnt in an instant, leaving only red bones, and these bones only persisted for two or three seconds before falling to the ground to form a layer of hoarfrost ashes.

If Suldak was one step slower, he might be burned to ashes by the black flames. As for his shining saber, there was nothing left in the black flames.

The ghost just let out a shrill howl, causing all members of the raid team to be dragged into a terrifying hallucination by the ghost's mental scream.

At this time, the skeleton soldiers on the field were completely in chaos. Suldak didn't have time to feel sorry for the shining saber, and quickly ran to the raid team to stop the skeleton soldiers rushing towards the raid team. At this time, the captain of the guard woke up from the hallucination , Seeing the skeleton soldiers rushing forward, they also quickly joined the battle.

Darcy Christie, Carl and others also woke up one after another. There were not many skeleton soldiers on the field, and they quickly cleared the skeleton soldiers at the gate.

At this time, Darcy Christie had another chance to ask Suldak where the necromancer had gone. Suldak pointed to the pile of ashes under the bronze statue and told everyone that the necromancer had set himself on fire. , leaving only a little bit of ashes under the feet.

The battle in the manor hadn't stopped yet. The raid team eliminated the necromancer at the gate and returned to the manor from the main gate.

A team of guards at the gate of the manor died unexpectedly under the sneak attack of ghosts. Before they died, they didn't even have time to issue any warning to the manor, and these dead guards were moved to the main road by necromancers. With ancient runes drawn, it seems that necromancers are making zombies with the corpses of these guards who have just died. Some scattered magic materials are still on the ground, and it is too late to take them back. The corpses of several manor guards are only half stitched Just leave it there.

Suldak walked over and picked up a leather bag from the ground. In addition to a few unknown bottles and cans, there was also a palm-sized black-striped demon skin inside. Putting the leather bag into the magic pocket, followed everyone into the manor.

The zombies summoned by the necromancers lay crumbling in front of the fire wall in the yard. After losing the magic of the necromancers, these zombies turned into ordinary cold corpses again.

However, those skeletons with soul fire in their eye sockets were still fighting the manor guards.

At this time, the guards of the manor have found a suitable tactic, and there is no threat from the ghosts. They take turns attracting the skeleton soldiers in groups, and wait for the bed crossbow on the observation deck to adjust its aim. Skeleton soldiers.

The fighting quickly subsided, and the wounded began to be treated immediately.

At this time, Carl realized that the magical shining saber in Suldak's hand was missing, so he couldn't use the holy light technique when he was treating the wounded. Karl asked Suldak secretly, and only then did he know about the shining saber It was actually damaged when he stabbed the spirit warlock. Karl could only pat Suldak on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Mrs. Christie, who had been worried all night, looked at the two knights walking into the hall of the villa with their shoulders crossed, and she could no longer hold back the tears.

At this time, the hall of the villa was already in a mess. Almost all the wooden furniture was dragged out and added into the fire wall. Even the wooden fence leading from the first floor to the second floor was dismantled in a mess. With the skeleton of a skeleton soldier, it seems that a skeleton soldier rushed in, but in the end it was dealt with desperately by the guards of the manor.

Mrs. Christie, holding a long fluffy skirt, ran up to Karl quickly, and threw herself into Karl's arms.

Dacie Christie just walked in from the back. When she saw this scene, she suddenly felt very envious. Perhaps anyone who lives in such a disaster will become very fragile and soft inside, eager to be hugged .

The dense fog dissipated little by little, and a hint of the pre-dawn whiteness appeared on the horizon.

And Tax Collector Byrd was lying on the bed like a nightmare.

He woke up from a nightmare, and found himself lying on a big soft bed, beside the bed was a familiar figure with long blond hair and a familiar smell of perfume. Miss Hoyle felt unbearable pain in her chest and arms, but he closed his eyes without saying a word, enjoying a ray of sunlight coming in through the window.

Chapter 392 Gone Sadly

The battlefield in the manor has been cleaned up by the guards, and even the villa has been rearranged.

Bernard Christie rode a black scaled horse and led a group of constructed knights to the manor first. He saw traces of battles everywhere in the messy manor, and the steps outside the manor were full of young nobles. When he walked into the hall of the villa and saw his daughter Darcy Christie and sister Marianna Christie busy in the hall, the shadowy face finally appeared. The color of relaxation.

The guards of the Christie family were the first to arrive at the hunting ground in Ice Lake Manor. Marquis Bernard wanted to know about this matter first, so that he could control the overall situation. After all, this matter involved many nobles in Hailansa City.

Unexpectedly, the chaos in the Black Magic Priory had just subsided, and there would be such a big disturbance in the winter hunting. He was even considering whether it was necessary to continue the winter hunting activity next winter. He stood on the side of the young nobles. In front of the corpses, check the wounds on their bodies one by one. Many young nobles have been painted with magic patterns by necromancers, and the bodies have been stitched up, and they look complete. It's just that after the corpses, even if they return to human form , the appearance will also change.

Darcy Christie told her father about the whole process of the battle. Marquis Bernard did not expect that the battle last night would be so dangerous. Necromancers were regarded as heretics by the magicians of the Grimm Empire. Necromancers and conjurers are not recognized by the Magic Union, and there are very few necromancers in the Grimm Empire, so there is very little information about them.

While everyone was discussing this necromancer, five mages riding magic handles flew into the sky.

On such a cold day, flying in the air on a magic scorpion will definitely not feel more restrained than riding a horse. Although several magicians wore thick magic robes, when they arrived at Ice Lake Manor, almost all of them were condensed. As soon as these magicians fell down, Suldak realized that the head of the magic union's law enforcement team, Gerald, the great magician, had hangs on his beard and eyebrows. Holding the wand in his hand, he condensed a ball of flames, quickly warming his body, and shaking off the ice slag on his body. Then he looked at the two rows of corpses lying on the steps in surprise.

The magician standing behind him walked among the corpses, took out a bottle of magic powder from his arms, and sprinkled the powder evenly on each corpse, and then carefully examined the magic runes drawn on the corpses. Even cut a bit of suture from the seam, no one could understand what he was doing.

The other three magicians stepped into the villa. There were two water magicians who were good at water therapy and detoxification magic. Conduct survey interviews.

The great magician Gerald frowned, walked up to Marquis Bernard, and asked, "Marquis Bernard, what happened here?"

The Marquis Bernard glanced at Darcy Christie, and said to the great wizard Gerald, "Master Gerald, I just came from High Lansa City, let my daughter tell you about yesterday's what happened!"

"..."

Although Darcy Christie was full of reluctance, she still told the great wizard Gerald about the battle situation last night.

At this time, the magician who performed the autopsy also walked to the great magician Gerald, and said: "My lord, these noble corpses do have a certain degree of corpse transformation, but it should be because the magic of controlling corpses was interrupted halfway, and then it appeared." This situation."

The Great Mage Gerald nodded, which was exactly in line with what Dacie Christie said. He turned to Dacie Christie and asked, "Where is the place where you fought that necromancer?"

Darcy Christie said honestly: "Just at the gate, the ashes under the bronze statue are his remains."

The great magician of the law enforcement team fell down and walked towards the gate, passing by the fire wall at the entrance of the villa. Although the fire wall had been reduced to ashes, it still looked quite spectacular. Sy Christie asked: "Is this the reason why those nobles who turned into corpses were not injured again?"

"It seems that in order to maintain their dignity after death, your method is not bad!" the great wizard Gerald said quite approvingly.

Dacie Christie's eyes fell on a leg of an indigo wood chair that had not been completely burned. The delicate reliefs and lacquer on it were still clearly visible. She replied blankly: "We didn't think so much at the time. There are too many skeleton soldiers, and there are more advanced sickle ghosts lurking in the dark, so there is no manpower to fight against the zombies. The purpose of lighting the fire wall is to temporarily hold back the zombies rushing into the manor when we attack the necromancer. "

"..." Gerald nodded.

The Marquis Bernard who was next to him could only touch his nose speechlessly. As a father, he certainly knew how weird his daughter's temper was.

The manor was full of traces after the battle, and some bloodstains were still left in the snow. The broken walls and pushed gates revealed that this place had just been breached by a group of undead.

The great wizard Gerald stood under the bronze statue, looking at the hoarfrost-like ashes in silence.

The magician who specialized in investigating undead magic carefully put the ashes into a pocket. He even kneaded the ashes with his hands. His smile was uglier than when he had a straight face. , I just heard the magician say to everyone: "I have to say that your luck is really good."

"..." All eyes on the field were focused on the magician.

He unhurriedly put his pockets into his magic pocket, and said unhurriedly: "You can still survive meeting such a high-level necromancer. Aren't you lucky, what else can it be?"

Then he asked Surdak again.

"You killed this necromancer?"

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"So you're wearing the sobriety pendant?"

"I heard that you have a magic weapon that emits holy light?"

Suldak did not hide anything, not only told the details of the assassination and killing of the magician, but even took out the bottle of the secondary invisibility potion and the bill issued by the White Elephant Trading Company. This time the law enforcement team of the Magic Union investigated very detailed.

Because too many nobles were involved, it didn't come to an end until noon.

Swordsman Leonard was temporarily controlled by the Law Enforcement Team of the Magic Union, but the Law Enforcement Team did not stop Swordsman Leonard from writing a letter home. Swordsman Leonard also mailed the letter to Cole Norton go out.

By the time the Knights of the Guard Battalion in Hailansa City arrived at Ice Lake Manor, the Law Enforcement Team of the Magic Union had already completed a round of investigation.

Although the guard camp came a bit late this time, they brought a large number of carriages and wooden coffins. All the dead nobles were put into the wooden coffins. The Ice Lake Manor here was temporarily sealed, and everyone got into the carriages. , The convoy returned to Hailansa City mightily.

It was already night when we arrived in Hailansa City, the city gate that should have been closed long ago was still open, and crowds of onlookers were standing on both sides of the street. The families of the victims had long been waiting outside the city, and carriages drove Entering the city, the onlookers on the side of the road took off their hats actively. Although the streets were crowded with people, they seemed extraordinarily quiet, with only the sound of horseshoes kicking and wheels squeaking on the road.

Sad people wept softly on the side of the road, and all the wooden coffins were transported to the square in front of the city hall, waiting for the relatives of the deceased to come and claim the corpse.

Suldak returned to the Knight Academy that night. This winter hunting not only failed to hunt the first-level monsters as expected, but also took a bottle of precious secondary invisibility potion. Besides, Suldak felt the most What hurt my heart was the Shining Saber, which was destroyed almost before it was warm in my hand. After all, it was a magical weapon worth 8 magic spar.

Neighbors Linna and Nedra saw the lights in Suldak's room, so they ran over to say hello and asked about the harvest of Suldak's winter hunting.

Suldak lay on the bed with a tired face, and said with a wry smile to the two ignorant girls: "It is a harvest to be able to return safely..." Seeing that Suldak was not in the mood to tell the story, the two The girl said goodbye and left very wisely.Suldak didn't even take off the salamander leather armor on his body, just lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

It was already the next morning when he woke up, and the small garden under the dormitory building of the Knight Academy was still as noisy as ever. Many apprentice knights insisted on morning exercises in the winter morning. Suldak opened the door and walked onto the terrace, feeling Facing the cold wind and rising sun in the winter morning, and seeing the apprentice knights downstairs practicing shield swinging, he thought of his dwarven chain shield.

He took out the shield from the magic pocket, and saw two scratches running through the entire shield. These two scratches were left by the living corpse. The scratches were so deep that they almost cut the shield steel plate in half.Suldak honestly stayed in the Knight Academy in the morning to attend classes, and in the afternoon he ran to the guard camp. He ran to Ms. Gwendolyn in the logistics department, took out the dwarf chain shield, and asked Ms. Gwendolyn to contact the blacksmith workshop. Repair this shield.

The guard battalion is very good at this point. If the weapon is damaged, it can be repaired for free, and if it cannot be repaired, it can be replaced with a new one.

A few days later, Suldak finished his class in the classroom of the Knight Academy. He just walked out of the teaching building when he saw Dacie Christie standing at the door of the teaching building.

He walked over to say hello to Dacie Christie, and learned from Dacie Christie that Leonard Swordsman's family had helped him get cleared of the crime and had just left Hailansa City.

Chapter 393 Magic Contract

In recent days, it is rare to see Darcy Christie in the sword hall of the Knight Academy. Although the matter of winter hunting has been taken over by the magic union law enforcement team, there are still people conducting private investigations. After all, so many young people have died. Nobles, some are the successors of a certain family. The Marquis Bernard of the Christie family and the Magic Union have come forward to clarify this matter, but there are still several undercurrents silently investigating in the city of Hailansa.

Someone even came to Suldak and bought the two white crystals from him at the price of twenty magic crystals.

Of course, the value of this white spar itself is not worth that much money. It can only serve as the core of some magic puppets. This kind of magic material can only be purchased by the Orianna Magic Store. There were very few of them, but after the two white crystals were sold, Suldak managed to maintain a good balance, and then he went to the White Elephant Trading Company to buy another weapon like the Shining Saber.

Manager Joey thought Suldak was joking at first, but after confirming that Suldak was serious, the manager of the White Elephant Trading Company said with a bitter face that the shining saber was definitely the only one in the firm. Well, such a flashy enchanted weapon, and it's still a defective product, shouldn't have appeared in the business house. After finally selling one, how could the business house make similar mistakes.

Besides, this enchanted weapon was originally tailor-made for someone by a very famous weapon master in Bena City. There were some problems with this shining saber itself, and it ended up in Hailansa City after changing hands several times. Now I just want to restore it. Customization is impossible, and the firm has no information on the weapon master at all.

All in all, Suldak was disappointed, but it was not without gains. The problem of sulfur shortage in Hailansa City has not been alleviated, so Dale Magician also wants to ask Suldak to bring over a batch of sulfur Mine, Suldak counted the days, and the truck transporting the sulfur mine from Wall Village should have arrived in Hailansa City, but it has been a long time since no one from the village came to the college to find him.

Recently, Suldak couldn't get away temporarily, so he wrote a letter to the old village chief.

After writing the letter, Suerdak glued the envelope and put it on the corner of the table, just waiting to be sent to the carriage dealer after class tomorrow. There is no special postman in Hailansa City, and the carriage dealers in the city There is this kind of service, and the car and horse company also enjoys the municipal subsidy of the postal service in Hailansa City.

During the battle at Ice Lake Manor that night, Suldak had doubts about the magic notebook. The magic notebook could actually warn of danger before it came, which made Suldak feel very miraculous. It's just a book.

In the past few days, Suldak has also spared a little time every night to look through this magic note, trying to find the secrets in it, but unfortunately he read it from beginning to end, even if he read it carefully. Many spells were recorded in a language that Suldak didn't understand, and he never knew what these spells were written in.

There was a cup of steaming black tea on the table. As usual, Suldak took out the magic note. He quickly skipped the previous pages about recording magic herbs and magic materials, and focused on the few pages recording the magic pattern circle. Looking for the page, he thinks that it is likely to be a warning issued by the magic circle in the magic notes. He heard Lance say something related to magic. There is a magic circle called the "eye of the sentinel", which can It is made into a magic scroll, which can provide danger warning to the caster.

Although he can't understand these magic pattern circles, it doesn't mean that there is no way at all. For example, he can create some dangers. Turning to page 7 of the magic note, there is only a picture of a magic pattern similar to a chrysanthemum on this piece of parchment. In the magic array, countless runes and symbols are hidden in the complicated patterns, and then he let the nodes of his body release a faint sacred breath, which converged into a trickling stream in his body, constantly watering some unexplained blood in the chest and abdomen. The node being lit.

He guided a ray of holy light to flow into his palm, and in an instant, a faint ray of light filled his palm. This ray of holy light kept jumping and burning like a flame. He moved his hand close to the page and looked at it intently. Magic note, but this note didn't respond at all. With a slight movement in his heart, he stretched out his hand and turned a page. The magic circle on the parchment on the back page was in the shape of a five-pointed star, and the outline of the edge was painted with patterns like plant vines. , but the magic runes were neatly arranged in the center, and Suldak approached the page again, but the page still did not respond.

He looked at the flame in the palm of his hand, and suspected that he might not get any answers with this method.The sacred aura he released continued to increase, making the flames hotter, approaching the magic pattern pages of the magic note again, and the magic note still did not fluctuate.

Suldak picked up the black tea on the table and took a big sip, ready to turn another page, and give up if there was still no response.

Before he could turn the pages again, he saw that the magic note was turning automatically without wind, and the heavy pages kept turning backwards until the last page. The portrait of the girl appeared on Suldak's In front of me, the girl in the portrait in front of me is much more vivid at this moment than she was a few days ago. Countless lines outline the girl's sullenness on the paper, which is as vivid as a black and white photo.

Suldak originally thought that the girl in the painting was Selena when she was young, but after returning to Wall Village and seeing Selena, she realized that the portrait was quite different from her.

At this moment, the girl in the painting had her eyes widened, grabbed the railing of the iron cage with both hands, and yelled angrily at Suldak: "That's enough, take your hands away, if you still have a little bit of conscience , don’t put your hand close to me!”

Surdak was unprepared. He was startled by the girl in the painting, and quickly removed the flame from his palm. When he calmed down, the girl in the painting pointed at Suldak's nose and pointed at her. Shouted: "Did you forget who gave you the warning when the undead appeared?"

Suldak cautiously approached the girl in the painting, saw her wearing a black magic robe, and asked curiously, "Who are you? How can you still talk?"

Seeing that Suldak brought his face so close, the girl in the painting stepped back quickly. She instantly became smaller in the painting, and her voice became so small that it was almost inaudible, but Suldak still From the faint voice 'Celia Cooper the Magician. '

Suldak quickly sat up straight and asked again: "Have you been hiding in this portrait?"

"Knight, please pay attention to your wording, I was invited by the magician Cyrus Hickok to live in his magic notebook, and I have been staying here before you got this magic notebook. said Celia Cooper, the magician, bluntly.

"You know Cyrus Hickok? Then you must also know that I killed him?" Suldak said to the magician Celia Cooper.

It seems that the magician Celia Cooper knew this matter very well, and she also realized that Suldak had the upper hand, so she sat down on the pages of the book with her knees crossed and said: "Of course, if it weren't for Cyrus That guy Hickok is too confident in his sleeping cloud, maybe you have become a specimen in our laboratory now."

Suldak thought of the powerful magician Cyrus Hickok, and indeed, as Celia Cooper said, if the black magician hadn't been careless, it would be really hard to say what would happen, but Only losers like to reminisce about the past. Suldak tapped the table vigorously with one finger, changed the subject with a embarrassed look, and asked the Celia Cooper magician: "Then, what shall we do next?" Talk about how you are in the magic note?"

Since Celia Cooper knew the black mage Cyrus Hickok, it is very likely that she was also one of the six black mages at the Highlander Institute of the Black Arts Priory.

Regarding these matters, this Ms. Celia Cooper is very frank. She admits that she is one of the six magicians of the Black Magic Priory in the High Lansa City Branch, and at the same time she is a space magician. Has been committed to the research of time magic and divination. When exploring the space magic, her magic experiment failed. At that time, the magician Celia Cooper was involved in the space crack and was rescued by her companions. When she came back, the wound on her body could not heal by itself. At the last moment, the magician Cyrus, who was proficient in soul magic, extracted her soul and temporarily injected it into his magic notes, so that Celie was saved. The remnant of Ya Cooper.

"Tell me the value of keeping you, otherwise I will purify you, don't underestimate my determination, I have this ability, I don't want to carry a bomb that will detonate at any time "After listening to this, the flame in the palm of Suldak's hand lit up again, and he stared at Celia Cooper and said seriously.

Celia Cooper's eyes widened, and she stood in the middle of the page and yelled at Suldak, "As a knight, you can say such shameless words?"

Seeing that Suldak was unmoved at all, Celia Cooper argued for herself: "Is it not my value to warn you when encountering danger?"

Suldak nodded slightly and said, "This is, but it's not enough."

Celia Cooper grabbed the bars of the cage with both hands, and said angrily: "As a senior magic scholar, I protest to you."

"You can write to the Magic Union to express your views." Suldak smiled.

"Okay, I'll prove my worth, but you have to swear that you won't force me to do things against my will, otherwise I'd rather die!" Celia Cooper took a step back, she said.

"I swear on my honor as a knight." Suldak raised his hand and swore the oath.

I swear that this thing was not even worth a piece of facial tissue in his previous life, at least the facial tissue can wipe away tears...

Chapter 394 Funeral

Celia Cooper believed in the oath made by Suldak. When he heard him raise his hand to swear, his face immediately calmed down. He re-rolled the magic robe and sat on the pages of the book, and said to Suldak:

"I have some knowledge of space magic, a little knowledge of divination, can identify a variety of magic herbs, and have some research on magic patterns. In addition to the Grimm Empire language, I am proficient in ancient Elvish and some Janna languages. As long as you are willing to sign The magic contract of equality and mutual assistance ensures that we will not do things that harm each other, and I will help you do what I can, and all I need is this magic notebook, which is my home. When reading the magic book, remember to knock on the door first, this is the most basic respect for a lady."

Suldak couldn't figure out why Celia Cooper was so easy to talk to. As a black mage, shouldn't she be a bit paranoid?

"Okay, I promise you." Suldak readily agreed. Although he was still on guard, at least until now, he hadn't seen Celia Cooper have any other plans for him.

Celia Cooper said: "Of course, of course I will abide by our magical contract."

Afterwards, she returned to her original appearance, reverting to a portrait of a young girl on the page, and she could vaguely feel some soul power remaining on this page.

After going through that battle in Ice Lake Manor, Shining Saber was able to absorb some soul fires. Although I don't know where those flexible fires ended up, now Suldak probably wants to understand that those soul fires are very likely Absorbed by this Celia Cooper, after all, she belongs to the soul form.

As the magic note closed automatically, Suldak rubbed his forehead vigorously.

There were two young girls fighting and laughing next to the dormitory. Suerdak paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand to close the curtain...
