The Last Alchemist

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed since the Celestial Festival, and the city of Nerogard has completely lost its past bustle, and is immersed in deathly silence all day long.

The streets in the city are littered with the corpses of civilians, and there are usually a group of ghouls surrounding the corpses. For these monsters, these corpses, which have been dead for many days and have rotted slightly in the cold weather, are the most delicious food.

Next to the ghouls, there are many dark carrion birds. Whenever there is a conflict between ghouls over carrion, these red-eyed birds will take the opportunity to rush forward and grab a bite or two of minced meat from the broken corpse.

That night, on the spacious street outside the gate of Shuangyueju, a vague figure came flying at high speed from a distance.

The figure was moving very fast, and his whole body was covered with a faint black mist. Birds flew away along the way, and the ghouls immediately stepped aside, not daring to stop him in the slightest.

In an instant, the figure rushed through the gate of Shuangyue Residence, then ran all the way on the lawn of Shuangyue Residence. In a few seconds, he arrived at the rose tree behind the villa.

‘Plop~’

The figure stopped 10 meters away from the flower tree and half-knelt on the lawn. The faint black mist on his body also dissipated, revealing a pale face. It was the man who was defeated by Rosen twice. Phantom Assassin Nirod.

He lowered his head and said in a dumb voice: "Great Lord, I'm back."

"Hmm~" Two red light spots lit up in the shadow of the flower tree, and a deep voice with a metallic sound sounded: "Tell me about your relationship with the King."

What have you seen? "

Nirod remained motionless and stared straight ahead: "Great Lord, two days before I arrived at Boudan City, the situation in Nerogard City had already reached the capital. Everyone in the capital was talking about it. And The prophet Niya, Thunder Max, and the illusionist Wei Ge disappeared early, and no one among the people knew their whereabouts. "

"What else?" A voice came from the shadow of the flower tree, and there was no emotion in the voice.

"I heard that the prophet Niya and the others had been living in the palace before they disappeared. So, in order to get more accurate information, I sneaked into the Sun Palace in Budan City that night. Originally, I wanted to hijack a person in the Sun Palace. Important people, ask well, but the sun The defense of the palace is very tight, far beyond my expectation. The guards in the Sun Palace are all equipped with powerful new muskets, and there are also high priests from the Flame God Cult stationed there. Even the wizard hunters are assisting in the defense. I tried it many times but couldn’t break through.”

"Don't talk nonsense." The voice in the flower tree interrupted Nirod's lengthy narration.

Nirod was startled and spoke quickly: "Fortunately, I found a king's clerk outside the Sun Palace. This guy told me that the magicians disappeared on the night of the God's Festival. In front of me At midnight, the prophet Niya was talking to the king. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically. Soon after, she ended the conversation with the excuse of physical inconvenience, and in the second half of the night, all the magicians disappeared. "

"Prophet Niya, hum hum ~ Her perception is indeed very keen. Unfortunately, her reaction speed is still not fast enough. Did you get any news about them elsewhere after that?"

Nirod shook his head: "After I came out of the Sun Palace, I went to the kingdom to inquire about them. I also specifically contacted the Blood Rose Council, Dragon Valley, and Ghost Valley to ask for their help in searching. Whenever I get some vague clues , I immediately rushed over to check, but every time I found that these magicians seemed to have disappeared."

Hearing this, laughter suddenly sounded from below the flower tree: "Hahaha~ Of course you can't find them. Because they are hiding. Do you know why they hide instead of rushing back to Nerogard?"

Nirod shook his head and asked respectfully: "Please, Lord, please help me clear up my doubts?"

"Because I destroyed the Tower of Wisdom and the bond of power between them and the gods. Now they are no longer great magicians, but just mortals with a little sad magic power. In the past, when they were powerful, They have killed countless strangers and made countless powerful enemies. Now that they have lost their power, how can they dare to show up?"

"Oh~ Great Lord, you are really wise and wise." Nirod praised repeatedly.

The rose tree trembled slightly, the two red light spots became extremely dazzling, and the voice became slightly high-pitched: "Don't talk about these meaningless nonsense, and don't underestimate the wisdom of these great magicians. They can happen at any time Rebuild the bond of power with the gods. Therefore, continue to search for them, even if you travel across the continent, even if you cross the sea, you must find them and tear them into pieces. "

"Yes, High Lord!" Nirod shouted.

"Also, clean up those rats on the ruins of the college as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Nirod immediately frowned: "Great Lord, most of the people in the ruins of the academy are rats, but one is not. He is too powerful. He not only killed Amran, but also He has defeated Olamson many times, and even I am no match for him.”

"I know all this." The voice coming out of the rose tree became dull again, and the light spots in the trees became dim again: "That alchemist is indeed an annoying little thing. You are out here. During this time, I found a very capable helper.”

"Help?" Nirod was stunned for a moment.

"Hiss~~~"

A scream, like the hissing of a poisonous snake, suddenly came from the flowers. With this sound, the ground of the garden began to squirm, as if it was alive.

Nirod was shocked. He stood up involuntarily, stared at the ground, and began to retreat uncontrollably.

"Boom boom boom~~"

The movement on the ground became louder and louder, from squirming to violent tremors, as if the earth was about to turn over. This movement lasted for about ten seconds. Suddenly, a black man with a barb on his head appeared. Rattans came out from under the ground, then the second, third, fourth, until the tenth rattan came out, a humanoid in appearance, but almost all of its body was made of tangled rattan. Strange creatures emerged from the soil.

This guy was about two meters tall, with a large number of black barbed vines dancing like flames around his body, and two faint green light spots floating around his head, which looked like two will-o'-the-wisps.

The voice of the great lord came from the rose tree: "His name is Donasis, the dark ghost born in the deepest part of the earth."

Hearing this name, Nirod was slightly startled, feeling that it sounded familiar. He thought about it carefully, and after a while, he suddenly screamed: "Donasis, the legendary invincible tree demon, massacrer, and master of the Legion of Destruction? "

According to legend, there was an earth-shattering war between gods and demons in ancient times. Donasis was one of the most terrifying devil generals. The warriors he killed were immediately resurrected as his slaves. Those injured by him will gradually lose consciousness and become his puppets. He enters the opponent's territory alone, and when he comes back, he will become an army.

The tree demon heard what Nirod said and laughed loudly: "It's rare that after thousands of years, there are still people who can remember my name."

His voice was hoarse and hollow, just like the wail of the souls of the unjust souls in hell. Even Nirod felt horrified when he heard this voice. He had a feeling that the high speed he was most proud of had almost no effect in front of this tree demon.

The voice of the great lord rang out from the rose tree: "Donasis, bring back the people I want as soon as possible. Nirod, follow him and help him get familiar with the situation in the city as soon as possible. After Donasis has established a basic legion, , just keep looking for the great magician!"

"Yes, High Lord." Nirod nodded.

The tree demon also turned around and bowed slightly to the rose tree: "As you command, my master."

After saying that, the tree demon Donassis turned around and strode towards the gate of Shuangyue Residence. As he walked, he laughed: "Ah ha ha ha, the smell of death and blood is floating in the air, how sweet and how exciting it is." Intoxicated."

He walked outside the gate in a few steps.

There were many ghouls hovering next to the corpse outside the door. They had obviously never seen such a strange creature as Donasis. After seeing him, they all turned their heads and looked at him alertly.

The tree demon Donassis was also stunned for a moment. He looked at the ghoul carefully and suddenly sighed: "Hey~ the warriors of the past have degenerated into scavenging monsters. Time, you are such a bastard playing with the mind. !”

Donasis didn't even look at the ghoul, and continued to stride towards the city. After walking about five or six hundred meters, he suddenly pointed at a house on the roadside, and a vine on his body shot out like an arrow. , penetrated the house and shot into the basement of the house.

When the cane was retracted, there was an ordinary person on it who was struggling and moaning. The cane was inserted into the man's heart. Blood spurted out from the wound and flowed along the cane to Donasis. body.

Donasis flicked the cane, lifted the man high, and let the blood pour on his head. He sighed with satisfaction: "Ah~~ the hot blood is still so sweet~"

The bright red blood flowed into Donasis' body, while the black rattan injected a black juice into the body of the struggling ordinary person. As this juice invaded, the ordinary person gradually stopped struggling, and his The blood vessels on the skin continue to turn black and quickly spread to all parts of the body.

About half a minute later, the man's skin color turned into blue-black, and his eyes began to glow with a green luster.

Donasis shook the cane slightly, and the man slipped off the cane. After landing, the wound on his body that was stabbed by the cane healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Go and find more warriors." Donasis said to the people.

"Yes, my master." This man with green eyes and black eyes turned around and ran into an alley at a very fast speed.

During this period of time, Nirod had been following Donasis closely. He witnessed all the actions of this tree demon, and felt a deep chill in his heart.

"How could there be such a terrifying creature in the world?"
