The Last Alchemist

"Nirod, you mean that the magician is in the dock area in the south now?"

At the top of the city hall, countless black rattans squirmed rapidly to form a huge head. This head had no mouth or nose, only a pair of dark green eyes staring closely at Nirod standing at the bottom of the hall.

"No, I can't be sure about this. I can only say that it is very possible." Nirod felt very stressed. He lowered his head, not daring to raise his head and look into those terrifying eyes.

"Well~ I don't like uncertain news very much. You should find him first and then report to me." There was a trace of impatience in Donasis' voice.

Nirod felt anxious and hurriedly explained: "Lord Donasis, I really want to do this, and I even desperately want to kill this magician. However, this magician is very powerful, and I have been I failed twice. My retreat was not due to cowardice, but due to reason. Because I knew that there was no point in fighting to death recklessly. Only when there is no choice, fighting to the death can be called a heroic act."

"alright!"

Several black vines entangled on the wall suddenly shot out, lashing the air like a whip, making a crackling sound: "Nirod, you talk so much nonsense that I want to plug your mouth with shit! "

Nirod clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and endured this breath.

"However, the news you brought is still somewhat useful. On the battlefield, risks cannot be completely avoided. Sometimes you need to gamble on luck."

"What you said makes perfect sense." Nirod nodded quickly.

"Let's do this. Now take all your men and attack the ruins of Chengxi Academy. If the magician is not there, then you will definitely be able to capture the ruins effortlessly and bring me the survivors inside. , right?”

"It should be like this, if he is really not here." Nirod felt as if he had dug a big hole for himself.

"Hahaha, here's the chance to verify whether your judgment is accurate. Go ahead and capture that ridiculous camp. Don't let me down."

"Wait~" Nirod was unwilling.

"Hmm~ Do you have any other questions?" The black rattan wrapped around the wall moved slightly. In an instant, the face made of rattan was less than 1 meter away from Nirod, with dark green eyes. Staring at Nirod closely. No matter how hard Nirod dodges, he can't escape the opponent's sight.

At the same time, all the black rattans on the wall began to squirm faster, as if a black whip might rush out of the wall at any time.

Nirod suddenly felt a mountain of pressure coming towards him. He resisted the urge to retreat and lowered his head and said, "The great lord didn't ask me to capture the ruins of the academy. He just asked me to help you get familiar with this city. After you get familiar with it, , I have to go find those great magicians."

"How dare you disobey me?!"

The wriggling of the black rattan reached its extreme in an instant, and one strip after another was ejected from the wall at an incredible speed. Even Nirod, who was famous for his speed, only had time to retreat less than two steps.

In the blink of an eye, Nirod's body was wrapped in a black cover made of rattan.

From inside the cane cover, another cane protruded like lightning. Before Nirod could react, the cane wrapped around the phantom assassin's neck and forcibly lifted his head up.

"Fallen man, open your eyes and take a good look at the existence before you~~" Donasis's voice became as soft and dreamy as a witch, but her tone was creepy and gloomy, as if she was lurking in the dark abyss. of shadow.

"Did you see clearly? Yeah~~~"

"Look clearly." Nirod nodded repeatedly.

For the first time in his life, he felt the terror that penetrated his bones. For the first time, he encountered such a situation where he had no power to fight back. He had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen such a terrifying creature.

For a moment, he even felt that the countless black vines in front of him were simply the most terrifying nightmare in the world.

"So, do you still want to go against my will now?" The voice coming from the cane became more and more sinister and cold, filled with murderous intent as cold as the north wind.

Nirod felt the snake-like cold vine around his neck slowly tightening. He had no doubt that as long as he said no, this terrifying monster would kill him on the spot. No, the opponent Should turn him into a mindless puppet.

His whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and he couldn't say a word, so he could only nod his head.

"Huh~~~"

Amidst the roar of the wind, the black rattan disappeared, and Nirod felt the light again.

"Plop~~"

He knelt on the ground, breathing heavily. There was no reluctance or anger in his heart, only endless fear.

Donasis's voice came from the hall: "My legion needs more warriors, so bring back everyone in that camp, whether they are corpses or living people, do you understand?"

"I see."

"Go ahead~ don't let me down."

Nirod stood up with all his strength, bowed respectfully to Donasis, and slowly exited the hall.

After he left the hall, the black rattan on the wall was still slowly squirming. Five or six minutes later, a snake-like hissing sound suddenly came from the rattan.

About half a minute later, a sturdy puppet in a worn blue leather jacket walked in from outside the hall. This guy stayed at the bottom of the hall tightly and said nothing.

"Hiss~~~~Hiss~~~Hiss~~~"

Donasis kept hissing, with different pitches and tones, as if he was speaking a strange snake language.

A few minutes later, Donasis calmed down. He flicked out a cane and pointed in the direction of the dock area in the south of the city.

The sturdy blue puppet bowed slightly to Donasis, made a short hissing sound, and then turned and walked out of the city hall.

When he arrived outside the hall, the blue puppet waved his hands vigorously in all directions of the square outside the hall. Every time he waved, he would make a loud hissing sound like a whistle.

This was repeated five or six times, and hundreds of puppets walked out from all directions around the square and gathered around the sturdy sailor puppet.

On the surface, these puppets look the same as the blue-clothed puppets, with dark blue skin and eyes emitting a faint green light. But if you look closely, you will find that the blue-clothed puppet has a brighter light in his eyes, his face also has expressions, and his walking posture is more natural, unlike other puppets, which look like a marionette covered with human skin.

When more than 100 puppets gathered, the blue-clothed puppet walked towards the southern dock area first, and it made a loud hissing sound while walking.

More than 100 other puppets turned around like puppets, lined up in a scattered team, and jumped behind the blue-clothed puppet.

In the hall, Donasis looked at the puppet array going away and whispered: "Magician, magician. A group of pathetic reptiles~"

Ten thousand years ago, he lost to a powerful existence. Although he was unwilling, he had nothing to say.

Ten thousand years later, he returned again. His former powerful enemy had been wiped out in the passage of time. Although his descendants still existed in this world, they had long forgotten the glory of their ancestors.

This time, he would definitely not fail!

This time, he would definitely dedicate this beautiful world to the supreme king!
