Love Magic City

Five years later, the city of Ben Senna.

"This damn weather!"

The hot sun made the handsome man narrow his eyes slightly, and reached out to touch his forehead, which was drenched with sweat.

Climbing up the city wall, you can see the whiteness all over the mountains and plains. This wave of whiteness is slowly approaching. The skeletons walking in the front are already clearly visible. The white bones are dazzling in the sun.

Eric's face changed slightly, he grabbed the adjutant beside him, and yelled angrily, "Damn it, it's still five kilometers away? It's not even five hundred meters away! The scout is blind, isn't he?" !"

The poor young lieutenant reminded tremblingly under Eric, "General, general, your image..."

Normally, this noble general is always handsome, like those playboys in the imperial capital, who never forget to show the elegance of the nobles even when the army is overwhelming. From time to time, he was grabbed by his collar and growled by his own officer.

"Fuck that image!" Eric pushed him away and yelled at the soldiers not far away, "Ready to fight!" His sharp eyes swept across the city, but he didn't see the familiar figure, and immediately turned The adjutant came over, "Call me the Magic Legion! Hurry up!"

"Yes!" The adjutant stumbled away.

Eric commanded the army to assemble quickly. The archers on the city wall temporarily blocked the tide of skeletons. When the blocking of the archers gradually lost their power, the army rushed out of the city gate.The army dressed in black iron armor rushed towards the tide of skeletons, like a black tide colliding with white waves. The front waves were instantly fragmented, but soon, the white waves that surged behind submerged the black tide, and slowly mixed into a gray mud .

The magic legion has already stood on the city wall, but at this time they can play a very limited role.

Eric stood on the city wall and watched the stalemate battle situation. The scout's mistake made the Magic Legion too late to deploy in advance. Otherwise, if a few large magics went down, the seemingly huge skeleton army would shrink by half immediately.But now, the Magic Legion can only stand at the top of the city and wait for the opportunity.

Eric looked at it for a while, and said to himself: "There are more and more skeletons recently, and there are obviously more high-level skeletons than before..."

"Yes." The old magician Jack next to him answered, "There are more and more death knights. It seems that the undead disaster is really coming."

Eric squinted his eyes for a while, and he was relieved to make sure that there were no high-level undead creatures in the battlefield.These low-level undead creatures will not cause them too much trouble, and their combat effectiveness is low, even if they are in large numbers, they are useless.

However, as the natural disaster of the undead approached, there were more and more undead creatures, and they became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more difficult for the human army to fight against them.Nearly a quarter of the army stationed in Ben Senna has been consumed, and even the Magician Legion has less than 50 people from the original 30 people.

Two months ago, he submitted a request for additional troops to the imperial capital. The imperial capital sent new troops and magicians half a month ago, but they haven't arrived yet. It's really frustrating.

Faced with this situation, he could only pray that there would not be too many undead hordes these days, otherwise Benzena's army would be exhausted and the casualties would increase significantly.

"Oh, why haven't you come yet?"

Eric looked back at Ben Senna City.As before, this city that has dealt with the undead too many times seems to be infected by the breath of the undead, and it seems a little lifeless.

An hour later, the battle ended without any risk. The soldiers returned to the city with their exhausted bodies. Eric also returned to his mansion exhausted, but he was exhausted not physically but mentally.

The shortage of soldiers made it impossible for the army to take turns to rest in the face of the tide of skeletons. The soldiers were exhausted after several days of fighting, and even the magician's magic power and mental power could not be kept in the best condition.

Such a situation is bad.He could almost imagine that if the army of undead continued to attack for a few more days, the defenders of Ben Senna would be in crisis.

"New soldiers, new mages, Ben Senna City needs you!" Eric let out a long sigh.

The sun goes down, rises after a long night, and the day goes by.

Eric was walking in the barracks, his eyes swept over the tired faces of the soldiers, he was thinking about the reinforcements that had not yet arrived, and when he was considering whether to send a small team to see where the reinforcements were, the adjutant hurriedly said ran over.

"General, general! The reinforcements have arrived, and so have the mages! The new head of magic has arrived at the door... Oh, general, slow down, slow down! Don't worry, the subordinates have asked him to wait in the hall..."

Before the adjutant's voice fell, Eric had already rushed out.

Scale up!

Magician!

He rushed into the hall like a gust of wind, and saw a man in a mage's robe standing with his back to the door from a distance. The quiet temperament unique to a magician made Eric's eyes shine, and he shouted before entering the door: "Master Mage!"

The magician turned around slowly when he heard the voice, and when Eric stepped into the door, he saw the other person's appearance clearly, those emerald green eyes made him stumble, and almost tripped over the threshold.

"You, why are you here?" He asked in astonishment.

"Why can't I come?" the green-eyed young man asked softly.

He has grown taller, and his beautiful face has lost its childishness, becoming a little more angular, without the softness of the past, and seems to have become a little cold.The appearance has changed, the temperament has changed, but those emerald green eyes have never changed, just like in my memory.

"You..." Eric was stunned, his face changed slightly, and he said angrily: "What are you kidding! This is Ben Senna, the first line to face the natural disaster of the undead. Do you know that there are many dangers here? What are you doing here, a little mage? Go back, go back immediately, don't mess around!"

"I'm not fooling around." Lorraine said lightly, "I'm the new head of the magic team responsible for supporting you. This is a document from His Majesty."

Lorraine took out the document, and Eric snatched it over and read it carefully several times, and then he was sure in frustration: His Majesty really sent this little guy here!

Five years ago, Lorraine was just a junior mage. Although having such strength at his age is already very powerful, but this is Ben Senna, who is talking about absolute strength rather than talent!Five years, can five years turn a junior mage into an advanced magician?

"Nonsense!" Eric said angrily, and threw the document back into Lorraine's hands, "I don't care what His Majesty arranges, you, a little mage, can't play any role on the battlefield. You will be obedient to me when we fight later Stay here and don't run around, do you hear me?"

Lorraine looked at him quietly with those emerald green eyes, did not speak, but clearly expressed her protest.

Eric patted his forehead, held Lorraine's shoulder, and said seriously: "Lorraine, this is a battlefield. Even if you walk on the road, a bone arrow may fly and kill you. I don't want You have something to do—this is not sweet talk! Even if you hate me and want to make trouble for me, don’t make fun of your own life, okay? Be good, stay here honestly, and send someone to take you back when I am free. "

"You are the same as before..."

"what?"

Confused by his sudden sentence, Eric wanted to ask a few more questions, but the bells resounding throughout the city drew his attention away.

The battle will begin again!

He frowned deeply, glanced at the little mage who seemed still not convinced, and told him again, "I'll have someone take you to the back to rest, you're not allowed to go out here, it's dangerous outside, do you hear me? Be good, wait." I'm back. Harrison, take the mage to the back to rest."

The adjutant ran in but was puzzled by the order, "Ah, but outside..."

"If you are told to go, you can go, why are there so many nonsense!" Eric waved his hand dissatisfiedly, pushed Lorraine to the adjutant, and explained "no going out" again, and then walked away quickly.

When he came to the top of the city, the Magic Legion had already assembled. Apart from a few old faces, there were a few more new ones today.

"Are you the new mages? Hello, I am Eric McShane, the commander here." Eric greeted them, and then cut to the point, "Which of you is the deputy commander?"

Several newly arrived magicians glanced at each other, and one of the middle-aged men stood up and said, "General McShane, my subordinate Immo Hawke is the deputy head of the reinforcement magic legion, but we still have the head... "

Eric said impatiently: "What kind of leader is that little guy!"

"But……"

"Okay, don't be fooled." Eric interrupted him, waving his hands to let the magicians take their positions, "Imo, you are not familiar with the situation when you first arrived, so you should listen to the old Jack's instructions on what to do, and when this battle is over, I'll rearrange your positions again."

Imogen hesitated for a moment, but nodded. "Okay, I see, General."

Just when old Jack was about to explain Immo's strategy, a young voice interrupted them.

"Wait, Eric, I am the head of the Magic Legion."

The green-eyed young man walked up the city wall slowly, and his red robe was like a hot flame in the sun, which burned Eric's eyes.

"Lorraine!"

Eric was furious, but Lorraine didn't seem to take him seriously, and came to Immo's side without haste.Immo was much older than Lorraine, but in front of Lorraine, he bowed respectfully and saluted, "Lord Kamedal, the general just now...so I'm here..."

Lorraine waved his hand, "It's okay, I know."

Imogen seemed relieved.

His abnormal performance made old Jack look sideways.

Eric frowned and said loudly, "Lorraine, go back! This place is not for you."

"Really?" Lorraine asked lightly, and slowly raised the staff, "Then I'll let you see whether it's suitable or not."

Seeing the approaching undead army, Eric wanted to step forward to stop Lorraine, but the other party had already started chanting spells.The lengthy incantation revealed to him that this would be a large spell, and such a spell could not be interrupted, otherwise the spell would backfire on the caster.

Eric looked ugly, but he was helpless.

Old Jack listened to a few words, with a look of surprise on his face, Eric grabbed him and asked, "What magic is he preparing?"

"This... I don't know too well, I'm not a fire mage..."

A middle-aged magician next to him interjected: "General! This is a tenth-level magic, it should be... oh my god, it's heavenly fire!"

Accompanied by this astonishment, under the singing-like incantation, red light spots appeared in the air, slowly converging into the sky, forming a large red cloud.

Tenth level magic!

Eric looked at the slender figure holding the staff high in front of him in surprise.Tenth-level magic can only be used by magisters, but five years ago, this little guy was just a junior magician!

The red clouds were billowing, covering the sky and the sun, like a real heat wave blowing towards the face, the moisture in the air was drained, and the heat was steaming on the ground, even the skeleton soldiers who acted on instinct stopped and looked towards the sky.

The magic syllables continued to spit out from Lorraine's rosy lips, the red clouds became thicker and thicker, the sun also faded under the thick clouds, the sky darkened, but the temperature became higher.Everyone couldn't help but retreat, wanting to avoid the scorching temperature.

Under the dauntingly high temperature, some of the lowest skeleton soldiers were even roasted black!

"—Heavenly fire descends!"

The last magic syllable burst in the air, and there was a thunderous roar from the red cloud. Fireballs the size of washbasins whizzed out and smashed into the skeleton army with blazing heat. When the fireball hit the skeleton or the ground, When hit, it explodes, incinerating all surrounding undead creatures into ashes.

boom!boom!boom!

The huge blast wave overturned the entire skeleton army, causing divine fire to descend from the sky, and the vast wasteland outside the city instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames, engulfing the white tide of undead.

Eric opened his mouth wide unconsciously, looking at the unbelievable scene in front of him in astonishment.Did his little Jade do it alone?The little mage who was a junior magician five years ago completed the tenth level of magic independently?My God, when did he possess such terrifying strength? Didn't he only be able to shoot small fireballs five years ago?

At this time, Lorraine turned his head, and there was a sea of ​​flames behind him, but there was no wave on his face. He just looked at Eric and said calmly, "I think... I should be suitable here."

The soldiers who were ready to go behind the city gate were notified that they could go back to rest. They scratched their heads in confusion. They only heard from the herald that it seemed that the new magician cast a large spell with his own power, causing the skeletons to frenzy completely annihilated.Such news is undoubtedly exciting, and the soldiers cheered involuntarily, feeling that there was hope for the future.

The jubilant atmosphere in the city did not affect Eric, who was sitting with Lorraine in the backyard of the mansion at this time.

Eric scratched his head in embarrassment. Even the articulate man was sometimes speechless. After deliberating for a long time, he finally managed to say, "I'm sorry."

Lorraine raised his eyes slightly.

When the conversation started, Eric felt that things were much easier, and explained: "Sorry, I didn't know you were so good, I was just worried about you... You were a junior mage five years ago, I didn't expect you to be able to do it now." Casting tenth-level magic, isn’t this something a magister can cast? Are you... a staff booster?”

He subconsciously glanced at the ordinary staff in Lorraine's hand.Maybe it's an artifact?Eric still can't believe that the magic was released by Lorraine himself.

However, Lorraine broke his fantasy, "No, I am a magister now."

Eric was stunned for a long time before he could react, and took a breath, "Mage!"

Lorraine raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a touch of complacency in his indifferent expression.

Eric looked at the young magister in shock?Did he hear wrong?The continent of Migsia is not a dimension of strong elements. Even great magisters are rare here, let alone magic saints and magic gods. Magisters are already super strong and can walk sideways on the mainland!

The youngest magister in history was the "Mage of God" Xiu Deli hundreds of years ago. With amazing talent, he became a magister when he was less than 40 years old. This is already a record that shocked the whole continent. Now I'm afraid Lorraine is not yet 25 years old, right?The point is, he was only a junior mage five years ago, and he became a magister across three levels in just a few years?This is simply a fantasy!

"You...you're kidding..." Eric laughed dryly.Lorraine's advances completely overturned common sense.

Lorraine didn't speak, just took out a badge, and Eric couldn't laugh after taking a look.The grade badge of the Magic Guild, the logo of the red moon on a black background symbolizes that the person holding the badge is a genuine fire magician.

"You actually..." He raised his head in embarrassment and couldn't continue. After a pause, he cheered up and said, "Sorry, I didn't expect you to grow up so fast, I thought you came here because... Opening his mouth, he suddenly felt that which pot he was not opening and which pot he was lifting.

Lorraine looked at him and asked, "Why?"

"Uh, that's the one...five years ago, haha..." Eric showed his rogue spirit and cheekily laughed, but soon, he said seriously: "You are too young, so young that people I can't believe you're a magister. I thought you came here... with ulterior motives. If you hate me, I admit it, but this is a battlefield, and I don't want you to lose your own life in revenge. "

Lorraine shook her head, "No... I'm not here for revenge."

"Come to practice? Well, the undead battlefield is indeed suitable for young magisters to practice their hands."

"No... I want to do other things."

Lorraine said, lowering his eyes, Eric looked at him strangely.

"What else do you want to do? Pick up some dead bones and go back as a souvenir?" He joked.

"No, I..." A suspicious blush appeared on Lorraine's cheeks, and the shy look of lowering his head reminded Eric of the beautiful boy five years ago—of course, his little jade is still beautiful now.

Lorraine took a deep breath and said, "I will stay here for half a year, and a new magician will take over my position after half a year."

"how about you?"

"I... I'm going home."

Eric frowned slightly, not liking the news very much, but he knew he had no reason to stop it.

For all the empires on the continent of Migsia, magisters are very precious strategic resources. Their joining can often be even more powerful, but magisters are hard to come by, not only because of their small number, but also because Usually when they reach their level, they have already taken fame and fortune very lightly, so they seldom fight for a certain empire.

Therefore, the magicians who appear on the battlefield are often only high-level mages. These people can't transcend the world, or they will participate in the war out of the consideration of training their strength.

The appearance of Lorraine immediately relieved the pressure on Benzena's army. Usually, as long as he released a tenth-level magic, the skeletons could be wiped out. The new magicians even complained that Lorraine didn't give them a chance to exercise.

After the arrival of Ben Senna's army in Lorraine, they finally got a full rest. The battle became easier, and Eric had a smile on his face.

Lying on the hillside biting a grass stalk, this is the south of the city of Ben Senna. Under the protection of human beings, this hill has not been trampled into wasteland by war like the grassland in the north.The lush vegetation makes the hot summer a little more refreshing. It has been a long time since Eric lay on the grass and watched the white clouds with the breeze blowing. Now that there is a magister guarding Ben Senna, his tense nerves can finally relax down.

Harrison found the documents that needed to be stamped by the general, and he couldn't help smiling when he saw the happy smile on the young officer's face.

The intense battle exhausted the soldiers and made the general feel heavy. As an adjutant, Harrison was very happy that the commander recovered, so he boldly joked: "General, why are you being lazy here?"

"I'm not being lazy, I'm just waiting for work." Eric didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Harrison was helpless, the war eased, and his coach returned to the cheeky nobleman before.

"Come on, let's sit together for a while." Eric invited the adjutant to "lazy" with himself.The two lay side by side, Eric looked at the clouds in the sky, and thought of the new magic army, and asked lazily: "How are those magicians? There is no conflict, right?"

"No, General. Lord Kamedal's powerful strength has convinced everyone, and no one has any objections to his arrangement." Mentioning the young magister, Harrison couldn't help showing admiration, "It's hard to imagine, He is so young!"

"Hehe, yeah, he's so young it's unbelievable."

"General, did you know Mr. Kamedal before?" He remembered the performance of the officer in the hall the day Lorraine first arrived. Obviously, these two people knew each other. "Are you friends with Lord Kamedal? It must be so, otherwise how could a magister with such a bright future come to Ben Senna!"

Eric smiled softly, "Yeah, we met five years ago, when he was still a junior mage, I didn't expect..."

"What? Junior Mage?!" Harrison jumped up in astonishment.

Eric was very satisfied with the other party's reaction, and smiled as he watched his adjutant's jaw drop in shock.

Harrison exclaimed: "General, are you kidding! Junior mage? How is it possible! 50 years ago, it was still possible to be a junior mage!"

Eric shrugged.Who knows, this is an unsolvable mystery, which cannot be understood by anyone with a little research into magic.For a person with ordinary qualifications, five years is not even enough to change from a magic apprentice to a junior magician.But there are always some mysteries in this world to be rich and colorful.

What's more, it's so good to know the answer. He and Lorraine are no longer the intimate lovers who occasionally quarreled and slept with each other five years ago. Now they...

Is it an enemy?

Eric looked at the white clouds in the sky, and the sunlight made him squint his eyes. He would always remember that bright afternoon, in the corner of the library, the little lover with green eyes cried and said to him: I hate you. you!

He knew that he was contradictory. He rejected Lisa on the grounds of being "too simple", but locked his target on the same simple Lorraine.

He knew that Lorraine was a serious person, that he could not make any promises to him, and that this was a relationship with no future, but he still stalked him and pulled him into his arms.He was bad, really bad, but he was worse because he kept telling himself that Lorraine was a boy and it was okay to play around.

I thought that I would forget about that pretty little guy soon after returning to Ben Senna, but those green eyes seemed to be burned in my heart by the hot summer, which was unforgettable.

Eric closed his eyes.
