Apocalypse Magician

A group of four people walked into the deep corridor. On the way, Li Xingkong roughly understood the secret mission of this group of church knights.

As the front line of the war, although this place is far less important than the main battlefield in the Sunset Empire, when Chaoyang City falls, something must be done to regain the city.

So the mission this time was to secretly dig a passage and then let the army pass through it to surprise the enemy's rear.

Li Xingkong couldn't help but nod his head in praise. The terrain here is dangerous and the mountain roads are difficult to navigate, making it difficult to march. Therefore, the enemy generally does not send heavy troops to defend this place. If they can really hide their troops here and send troops here, it is very likely that the opponent will be caught off guard.

At the speed of the four people, they arrived at the end of the corridor in a moment, where a dozen people were working hard. Debris was constantly scattered from the walls to the ground, and people were sweating profusely. Even though the light was very dim, you could still feel everyone's hard work.

However, with the strength of the church knights and above as a great swordsman, it is not difficult to open mountains and crack rocks. Li Xingkong obviously felt that the speed of digging was obviously much slower at this time.

"Everything went smoothly at first, but when the tunnel was about to be successfully dug, the rocks we encountered were actually mixed with black iron ore and became extremely hard. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we did not dare to make too much noise, so we fell into Such a deadlock.”

The leader of this team of knights, the leader of the knights, learned about the situation of Li Xingkong and the two. He was originally at a loss to deal with the current situation, but now he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Since you two are from the Twelfth Factory, I wonder if there is a solution?"

"This is simple." Li Xingkong thought for a moment and agreed. If he could help the church in the mainland war with a little effort, why not do it.

Li Xingkong spread his right hand, and black flames condensed in his palm. When all the black fire power in his body gathered in one place, he flicked his fingers, and the flames flew towards the rocks containing black iron ore.

The hard stone walls were like window paper, and ashes spread around. Wherever the black fire went, all obstacles burned silently, revealing an indescribable weirdness.

In terms of destruction alone, it seems that there is no force that can resist this black flame, and the remaining distance is not long. After a while, the mountain rocks gave way to a passage under the black fire. Li Xingkong was done, and he controlled The black fire flew back into the palm and was extinguished.

"Sir, what a good trick!" The knight leader couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect that the person in front of him could solve the problem that had been bothering him for a long time with such efficiency, and he was even more awe-struck. "Sir, I have never had this kind of power." I heard, I wonder what the secret is, can it be spread widely so that our church colleagues in the city can also learn a thing or two?"

"This kind of power is difficult to completely control. My personal suggestion is that it is better not to touch it." Li Xingkong couldn't help but sigh. Once the black flame gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous. Moreover, this power is too dark and domineering, and he is unwilling to be contaminated unless he has to.

"In that case, I won't force it." The knight leader chuckled and didn't take it to heart. After all, the masters of the Twelfth Factory have their own way of doing things.

Now that the passage has been opened, the next step is to notify the troops who are ready to launch a surprise attack. The Church Knights only need to provide support and will not directly participate in large-scale military operations.

As for Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue, they were supposed to be distinguished guests, so they naturally did not need to take the risk to join the battle. The knight leader personally escorted them to the church in the city.

When Li Xingkong walked into the main entrance of the city, night had fallen quietly, and there was no light in the sky where the heavy snow was raging. Looking back, the mountains surrounding the city only had vague shadows, like huge monsters hiding in the darkness. , opened his greedy eyes and watched the silent city.

The church's branch in this city is managed by a bishop and a high knight. It also has a small space teleportation array leading to the Supreme City. Even if it can only teleport a few people at a time, it can still reflect This city's core position in the neighborhood is by no means comparable to a borderland like Star Snow City.

However, for such a large-scale city, only a few sporadic lights could be seen in the wind and snow that had been falling for five days and five nights.

The original days of thousands of lights no longer exist, and there are no longer lively markets or strolling passers-by on both sides of the road. Instead, there are thick snow and closed doors, as if everyone has closed themselves in In the narrow room, I looked lonely at the still flying snowflakes, not knowing where the end was.

The group of people walked to the door of the church branch. The knight leader and other knights entered first to report, while Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue stayed where they were for the time being.

The goose-feather-like snow was drifting in front of his eyes. Li Xingkong looked back and saw that the street he came from was silent all the way, as if what he had just walked through was not the human world, but a hell without life and warmth. Li Xingkong shook his head and sighed, then turned to look at himself. Luo Yingxue next to her.

Luo Yingxue was looking up at the sky, as if her thoughts were far away. Li Xingkong knew that she must be thinking of Xingxue City in the distance.

I wonder if heavy snow has fallen there for five days and five nights, and if people who have experienced a near-death experience together have closed their doors tightly and hid in a narrow space, watching the flying snow fill the night in loneliness, and that Is every inch of soil that remembers countless laughter and laughter covered with cold snowflakes...

Time passes little by little in the memories, but the people immersed in it do not feel cold despite the wind and snow.

In the church area, the great knight led people out in a hurry, seemingly coming to greet Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue, while the knight leader followed beside him and continued to describe the situation to the great knight in detail.

"Sir, if this surprise attack is successful, the two distinguished guests will have a lot of credit." After detailing the incident, the knight leader objectively affirmed Li Xingkong's contribution, "The Black Iron Mine blocked our way at that time, if it weren't for that This magical black flame, I’m afraid we may not be able to open the passage now.”

"Black flame?" The great knight seemed to have captured some important information unintentionally. He immediately stopped and braced himself, even as if facing a formidable enemy, "Tell me more specifically."

"That kind of flame is not an ordinary fire magic, but a pitch-black color. Just a ball the size of your palm can burn the hard black iron ore into ashes." The knight leader described it vividly, seemingly faintly Some people admire it, "In terms of destructive power alone, it can be said to be the best in the world. Unfortunately, my subordinates are ignorant and don't know what kind of magic it is."

"Are you sure you saw it clearly?" The knight frowned, gripped the hilt of his sword, and confirmed again solemnly.

"Yes, this is absolutely true." The captain of the knights nodded affirmatively, and suddenly found that the expression of the great knight in front of him was obviously strange, so he looked around suspiciously, but he saw that everything around him was as usual, and he didn't know what happened.

"All knights obey orders, Qiyao Formation!"

The great knight unsheathed his sword and gave an order, and everyone behind him rushed up, surrounding Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue. At the same time, someone rushed towards the main church, ringing the warning bell, and the sound waves echoed in the air. More and more church knights rushed to the scene, surrounding the two men.

"Sir, what are you doing?" The leader of the knights who didn't know what was going on looked around in surprise, thinking that the great knight had misunderstood, "Sir, we are all our own!"

"Get the prisoner quickly!" The great knight waved his hand and ordered everyone, then glared at the knight leader fiercely, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you go get into formation?"

"Everyone, there must be a misunderstanding!" Li Xingkong, who was also confused, quickly stretched out his hand to try to stop everyone, "We are from the Church's Twelfth Factory, we are not prisoners!"

"Yes, we have an identity token here as a certificate!" Luo Yingxue also raised the identity token high, hoping to clarify the misunderstanding that occurred.

"Sir, why..." The knight leader still doesn't understand the situation. When you reported to this immediate superior, why didn't you say that the two of them were prisoners?

"Shut up! Don't ask if you shouldn't know!" The great knight immediately interrupted the knight leader's question, and then shouted loudly, "These two are wanted criminals, I am sure of it. If anyone is merciful during the capture, You will definitely be severely punished!”

The sudden change occurred, and the knight leader gave up his explanation. Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue finally understood that a fierce battle was inevitable, and among everyone present, perhaps only the great knight knew the real reason.
