Death Knight

It reflects my growth and change. When readers saw the writing of the novel gradually change from pseudo-glamour to abandoned glamour, from the attachment to the picture to the attachment to the plot, from the portrayal of a single character to the interaction between the characters, you At the same time, I saw the entire growth process of "Guardian of Time".

Old readers who have been chasing books since the beginning may be more experienced.

This situation will never happen again, just like the first old version that was deleted.

Finally, I want to talk about the future.

Let me first point out that the end of "Death Knight" is settled.

After an episode, someone once asked me, "It's a shame that such a good world framework is abandoned."

Of course it's a pity, but ...

To quote Colonel Pine: "If you are too attached to the past, you will unknowingly set your own limits."

Therefore, if you are still limited to the setting of "Death Knight", you will definitely lose the opportunity to create a more interesting world. Therefore, I chose to finish the book without a second thought, and decided not to add a new feature to it (the short story may be inconclusive, and my work is still welcome).

However, such things as sealing pens can't happen. Do you think I am Roland? There is a goddess behind me, and I can hold the beauty after cutting off the retraining (and the reader asks the harem ending -v-).

I still have a lot of interesting ideas that have not been realized, and many favorite characters that have not been described. With the passage of time, more and more anime to watch, naturally more and more inspiration and ideas, the level of enthusiasm may be even higher.

So writing never ends.

In the next period, you may be busy for a long time, and preparation and charging are also necessary.

Of course, it's all for new works.

For the specific new work release date, please wait for the notice in this column.

Fanwai Phantom of the Flame Soul

Early autumn is the most beautiful season in Canados. On both sides of the central avenue of Winfield College, tall trunks have been lined with golden clouds, and there are many fallen leaves floating on the ground, but they are not dense. It is only a piece of green grass in the east and west. Go as if it were a natural carpet. After the light rain, under the caress of the rising sun, the fallen leaves and grass were shining with a slight luster, as if a piece of pearl was scattered on the ground, just like a fairyland.

This year is the year 3000 of the Reynolds calendar. It has been 300 years since the establishment of the Renas Alliance. In this long period of time, the alliance has experienced numerous ordeals, but relying on the power of the goddess Reinas, no matter what kind of crisis is also resolved one by one. Today, this group of dwarves, orcs and humans has become the most powerful force on the entire continent.

And Winfield College is on the cusp of this powerful force-most of the famous mages are more or less connected with this college. Seven towers symbolizing the principle of magic surround the shape of a law formation, standing high on the four sides of the academy, and distantly facing the tower of Aludia, which is straight into the sky in the center of the holy capital. The figure that cut away the golden sunlight immersed all lookers in an irresistible silence and mystery.

"So, as one of the symbols of alliance power, our college must show the perfect side on the 300th National Day ~!" The girl's clear voice rang again. "April, the expression of the goddess is still A bit stiff. Peggy, soften the hem of the dress. "

The two high-level wizards in charge of the sculpture were busy, and they were only able to sing deformation spells at the fastest speed, and they kept circling around the statue in order to make each detail satisfactory, while Alice was in Slowly paced by the statue of Renas. As the steward of the Winfield Student Union, there will be no extra time to rest under only one week before National Day, but even so, the girl still thinks that it is quite artistic to build a statue of a goddess in the center of the square. Romantic behavior.

At this moment, the soft rising sun smeared a layer of pink on her beautiful cheeks, and her long black hair fluttered softly in the morning breeze. When that beautiful figure is around, no matter how demanding the request, it will sound more pleasing than the bard's song.

The mages passing by projected their hot eyes one after another-of course they were not interested in the statue of the goddess, while April and Peggy were doing everything possible to be close to Alice. For these compliments, no woman will try to refuse-including Alice. But the thought of the girls being close only because of their beauty and the status of their father's inspector, the girl couldn't help anger.

Money, status, desire ... are these the only things that interest you? Those elegant eyebrows moved undetectably. Men are such a nasty animal ~!

After making such a conclusion, Alice intends to stop ignoring them and keep her eyes closed, but before closing her eyelids, the one that hates her most of all the "nasty animals" suddenly broke into the sight of the female mage. in.

Necromancer Richard Bares.

He began to learn mantras as soon as he was literate. At the age of eighteen, he became a high-level wizard with a high level of accomplishment in necromancy. Currently, he is an assistant to the Alliance Military Minister, Slater, also a necromancer. Highly praised by the Magic Society, the alliance has been described as "a person who can naturally feel the magic rhythm."

However, compared with his title, the inferiority can better outline the person's image. Not to mention his cynical attitude and his own style in the college. In the past few months, many creepy experiments of Richard actually use living people as materials ~! Originally, Alice didn't care about other people's evaluation of the necromancer. She was one of the few people who had contact with Richard, but since the other party conducted such inhuman experiments without listening to advice, the two The relationship was completely broken.

When the other party approached, the girl turned her head subconsciously, but Richard stopped.

"This statue seems a long way from perfection. Not only is the shaper unable to skillfully use plastic energy spells, but he is obviously inferior to art ... our goddess expression is too rigid and the dress looks hard It ’s like a stone ... ”The young Necromancer was polite and polite.“ How ... Miss Streve, would you like me to help? ”

"Richard, aren't you busy doing‘ the kind of ’experiments?” Alice replied indifferently, “how can there be time to build statues?”

"Let's just love the one that owed you that time." Richard said and began to chant the mantra. In the frustrating voice, the goddess's hard expression gradually melted, and the clothes on her body seemed to be real Like a veil, it gives the illusion of dancing in the wind.

"Is that all right?" The other side showed off with a hint of ostentation.

"Very good." Even the standard picky student council had to admit that the necromancer had turned the statue into a real work of art. But not everyone was satisfied with the result. The two young wizards stared at Richard with anger, but they did not protest. The necromancers were excluded by most people, but they were in the alliance. China has a very high status. When you think of it, April and Peggy have to be patient.

Wouldn't it be better if you could use your talents in creation instead of those terrible experiments? Alice's lips moved, but she said something completely different: "In short, thank you for your help, so that the student union can spend its energy elsewhere."

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure." The other party responded equally well.

However, before he went away, the girl did not notice the disappointment passing in the eyes of the necromancer.

This spell will determine the status of the necromancer in the alliance ~! When the silent tower reflected into Richard's pupil, he couldn't help remembering what his mentor Slater had said to him a few days ago. In fact, the necropolis's few necromancers rely on the identification of their strengths to get the respect of the major forces. Almost everyone has a set of powerful spells specially researched by him. Natural Minister Slater is not exception.

However, this time the wizard did have some worries. Powers under control, even evil, are bound to be contained, so Richard can always sing a spell with confidence. But if it is out of the reach of human beings ... no matter what the name of that power is, it will only bring disaster in the end?

Get in touch with the demons that twist the void ... It is not possible to bet on your own life. The necromancer took a deep breath, and opened the heavy bronze door just like the enemy.

Unlike the other six towers, this tower is only open to Necromancers. Without a special skeleton amulet, it will not be able to pass through the gate enchantment. Today in the entire tower, there are only himself and his mentor Slater. The atmosphere around it looks dark and horrifying, like a haunted house in a fairy tale, and the dark atmosphere surrounding the whole body is particularly real, almost like With a shadow of quality, depressed people are breathless.

Richard deliberately ignored this atmosphere and focused his mind on the upcoming spell. Soon, the mage came to the laboratory door lightly, and the carved sandalwood door was right in front of him.

As a rule, there should be four defensive enchantments on this door to avoid possible accidents from external influences. But now, not only did Richard not feel any magic wave, but the door was not even locked.

It is absolutely impossible for the instructor to make such low-level mistakes ... The frowns of the young mage tangled together, and ominous omen swept his mind. Richard quickly set up two layers of retaining walls beside him, and carefully pushed open the concealed wooden door, and the pungent **** smell came immediately to his face.

When the red on the ground shone into the necromancer's eyes, Richard found his hands trembling uncontrollably. Under the tremendous pain of squeezing, the original majestic face of the Minister of Military Affairs was distorted and deformed. His stomach was cracked open, and organs and tangled intestines were scattered around the room. The smelly blood was like The monster is tentacle-like, drawing a weird image on the floor.

what on earth is it? Richard covered his mouth with his hands, trying to resist the urge to vomit, and looked away as quickly as possible. The next moment, when a corner of the magic circle that had been wiped away by the red blood reflected in his pupil, the mage immediately understood that the spell had been activated.

"Damn ~!" Richard, who had always been calm, finally growled. He kicked the utensil in front of him desperately and rushed to the side of the room, the desk with a lot of scrolls.

At Winfield College, transferring squares is one of the banned spells because it is likely to cause all kinds of headaches. But now, Alice couldn't believe it. Under her own eyes, in the office of Dean LaCroll, someone dare to use this spell ~! After the surging light, a familiar figure appeared in front of her eyes.

Richard Bares again!

"You're ... Richard, what are you ..." The girl couldn't imagine, no matter how cynical Richard was, he wouldn't reach the point of deliberately breaking school rules in front of the dean?

"Mr. Richard Bares, what's the matter with you so much that you're going to meet me in this unconventional way?" LaCroll looked up, looking at the bloodless necromancy seriously. Master.

The high-level wizard Lacroix Ferrams is a middle-aged man with a fat body, and his appearance can only be regarded as modest. However, it was because of his existence that the original Wingfield College was able to occupy a place in the intricate sacred capital.

Necromancers have a position at the top of the Alliance that others cannot ignore. Therefore, the savvy dean believes that it must be a major accident that can cause a necromancer to act so abnormally. Maybe in today ’s experiment, Richard ’s mentor, the military minister who has made a lot of achievements in the alliance, encountered any special problems, so he sent his assistant to seek his own help?

"Dean LaCroll, please forgive me for taking the liberty," Richard bowed. "But the situation is very urgent now. In any case, please go to the Necropolis Tower with me first. It's hard to say here."

Unsurprisingly, LaCroll quickly began to conceive the possibilities in his head, and at the same time stood up: "Well then, it looks like your mentor is in trouble? Miss Strife, no If you mind, can you explain to others the conclusions you have reached so far? "

"But Dean LaCroll, this one ..." Alice's rebuttal was interrupted immediately.

"Miss Streve, please come with me, too," Richard said in a prudent manner, and made an invitation gesture, "but it's better to be mentally prepared to avoid uncoordinated physiological reactions. "

After the mage spoke, they chanted the mantra again, and a new transfer square appeared in front of them.

"Come on, let's go." LaCroll smiled at Alice to conceal her confusion: What was the purpose of the military minister to find such a little girl to mix in?

"Thank you." Alice nodded her head to the dean as well, but ignored the other hand, and walked into the circle, leaving only the awkward smile of the high-ranking mage outside.

"Keep calm, don't panic, don't be confused." The necromancer murmured to himself, watching the back of the two men disappear gradually in the circle, "otherwise, death will come quickly ..."

Slater's horrible corpse appeared in front of the two without any notice. Alice's face turned pale in an instant, and then she screamed and retreated to the corner farthest from the corpse. Lacroll tried to ignore the feeling of vomiting from his stomach. He clenched the staff in his hand and planned to sing the defense spell.

"Using the defensive enchantment now is of no use." Richard's voice rang softly.

"Here, what's going on? What do you want, Richard ~?" The dean who lost his calmness turned sharply, blocking the staff in front of him defensively.

"Don't be nervous," the wizard shrugged, and the **** sight didn't seem to affect him in any way. "I just want to tell the truth with everything, after all, it would waste a lot of time if you explained in your office."

"Sister Slater ... how could this be ..." The girl covered her mouth with her hands, muttering unbelievably.

"This is a spell accident. My mentor, Slater, started the spell without authorization, and this irrational behavior led to his death." Richard answered briefly.

"So, do you want me to do aftercare? But you don't need to do this at all ..."

"It's not important about Slater's aftermath," Richard interrupted LaCroll, not caring about the other's iron-faced look. "The only thing we need to know now is that the damage of this spell has spread to the whole It's in the college. "The mage said, and opened the door on the side." Come on, let me explain to you. "

The Student Union Supervisor and the Dean looked at each other, and walked towards the sandalwood door slowly.

The next room was very neat, and there was a large pile of books and scrolls on the large table, which Richard had sorted out when he "invited" the two to come. Necromancer spread out one of them.

"Magic magic circle. This is a channel that can connect this world with Umbra. Through this law array, my mentor and I can easily discover the most terrifying and exciting plane of Umbra- Twisting the Void. "Richard shook his head with a mockery." Originally we were going to touch the lower levels of the Twisting Void today. That was already a very dangerous thing. However, the mentor Slater started the legal array without permission. "

Necromancer looked at the two listeners around him, and their eyes were full of unbelievable doubts-they wanted to know the truth of the facts, and they were afraid that the truth was something they could not accept.

"I don't know what happened at that time. When I came, the room was already like that. But one thing is certain. It was not the low-level boundary that was envisioned, but the darker one. The upper world. "

"Is that ... the thing in there, that made Slater look like that?" Lacrole trembled in his voice.

"I've checked the information exactly," Richard patted the books on the table. "From the cause of the instructor's death, that kind of thing should be parasitic, which can be lodged in the human soul, and Demon devoured by them. Their underworld features are very strong. Even in this world, the human eye cannot detect the existence of these demons, but unknowingly, their own soul will die, and they will be parasitic by strength. Will be forced out of the host ... "

"Finally, people will become like that with an open belly and then die?" Alice unconsciously kept herself away from the sandalwood door as much as possible.

"I think so." Richard's face grew paler. "Actually, the defense against parasitic stings is not complicated. For such a demon with obvious underworld characteristics and weak modern characteristics, as long as an anti-magic enchantment can It resists outside ... but from the passage of the channel to the destruction of the blood by the blood, the parasitic pupae emerging from the twisted void during this period have probably spread to the entire academy? "

"Do you mean that there are also demon devouring souls in our bodies?" The dean's breathing increased sharply. "I must go immediately to invite the high-ranking priest ~! If you don't have to drive magic, you will definitely die ~!"

"It's the same death with the exorcism." The necromancer replied coldly. "Now that a demon is parasitic in your soul, then you are the same as a demon. The priest's magic will purify you together."

"Then what should we do ~!" Lacroll roared uncontrollably.

"This is exactly what I want to tell you." Said the necromancer, unbuttoning his shirt, and on the chest, there was a dazzling mark painted by blood, like a mouth full of indulgence. , Biting Richard's heart, the surrounding skin had completely lost his blood, as if withered tree bark was knotted.

"Seal of blood ~!" Both exclaimed at the same time.

"This curse spell will turn you into a walking dead ~!" Lacrore finally understood why the other person's face was so pale.

"But at least a month later, and I think you should know that this seemingly horrible curse can be lifted." Richard narrowed his eyes. "I have studied with my mentor before that this curse can Effectively suppress the activity of parasitic pupae, and during this time we can think about ways to deal with this demon. "

"Are you going to curse all the students at Winfield College ..." the dean asked incredulously.

"If you don't want to see their intestines or spleen, just do it now. Although the mark of blood is a necromancy spell," the necromancer puts stress at the end, "but for the sake of" defense ", almost every tall All wizards know how to use this spell correctly, and Dean Lacroll is no exception? "

The three fell into silence, the dean fell into deep thought, and Richard looked at each other's complex expression with interest. Alice on the other side closed her eyes silently, praying silently.

"In any case, I will first discuss with the other senior members of the academy, and try to get the assistance of the holy capital ~!" LaCroll's expression finally calmed down, and his wording returned to the usual savvy. They are currently stationed nearby, and they must control this situation ~! "

Watching the opponent's fat body disappear into the light of the moving square, Richard's mouth should not be noticed.

Even though LaCroll is politically capable, he will probably be left out in the face of a real crisis, right? Parasitic maggots are more difficult to cope with than imagined. Necromancers know this very well. If they want to survive, they can only rely on themselves.

"Just like a game of death." He whispered to comfort himself, and then the slim figure came into view again.

"What are you still doing here?" Richard asked in amazement. "Hurry back and save your life with the mark of blood. I think Lacroll must have started to chant now ... just don't know the high-level meeting How many people will die in the college ... "

"I will not use the mark of blood." Alice replied calmly, although there was still anxiety and fear in her tone, but more pride and pride.

The necromancer froze a bit, and then answered, "But don't you mind if I use that spell to help you defend against the demon now?"

"Of course, thank you." The girl hesitated, then opened her mouth. "In fact, as long as you use it well, can't Necromancer be used to save people? Why ..."

"Used to save people?" Richard stared at the other with a stunned look, and then he laughed at himself, "The only thing I know is that we only study resisting when the necromancy spell caused some damage. This is a kind of harmful necromancy. For most people, its value is reflected in the battle between the battlefield and the court, not any other aspect. Take the last human experiment, for example, more than 50 people died. Prisoner, but the end result is that Slater's status has been greatly strengthened. "

"You're not interested in power, are you? Why should you assist him in such an experiment?" As soon as she mentioned the last time, Alice's tone rose suddenly by eight degrees, and she questioned the other side angrily. Even the life of a prisoner is nothing fun, such behavior will only make you a numb scum! "

"I'm really not interested in power, but I still have enough reasons to do that." The young mage covered her fingers on the girl's lips. "And as far as the current situation is concerned, we still have the blood mark first. The ceremony is better. Can we discuss it later? "

Avoiding the clear eyes of the other party, the mage began to sing the curse intently.

"It's already the sixth person, Alice." April walked into the waiting room gloomily, "The reporter said that in the library hall, the magic apprentice exploded in front of everyone. Blood splattered. "

"How could this be ..." The girl's face looked paler.

"What the **** is going on? Is the academy under attack? The opponent's technique is very cruel and purposeless." The mage looked at the other in doubt.

"Sorry, but ... please wait a moment ..." Alice replied guiltily. "As long as the dean and directors have a solution, everything will come to fruition. Sorry, April ... ... "

"There's nothing to apologize for," April said, patting her shoulder. "It's not your fault, anyway, there is a place to help, just tell me ~!" He finished, revealing a confident Smiling, then strode out of the room.

"How could this be, why is Dean LaCroll still discussing, isn't the answer clear? Do they not know that protecting the lives of the students is the most important thing?" Alice looked angrily at the other end still The closed conference room door.

"Anyway, as a high-level wizard, Lakroll must have already stamped himself with blood? So the most important thing now is presumably to protect his interests and reputation in the crisis. As for the safety of the students ... I I'd love to know, after a few people died, he announced that he had a 'solution'? "Richard answered slowly. Until now, necromancers have just sat quietly in the corner of the waiting room, and carefully looked at the plastic energy spell book in their hands.

"But if you are willing to go out with me ..." The girl couldn't understand each other's performance now.

"In the absence of name, who would be willing to use the mark of blood on himself?" Richard interrupted the other indifferently. "Don't say it's me Necromancer, even if you say it, Such a request will certainly not be accepted? Besides, there are currently 3,500 parasites in the college ... "

"It's already the sixth person, Alice." Peggy went into the waiting room, and his face was equally gloomy. "Now the whole academy is almost messed up, and everyone is wondering if there is a lunatic mage lurking Here, I want to kill everyone. "

Just when the wizard was about to ask the girl, the door of the conference room finally opened, and Dean Lacroll, who had no blood on his face, walked out with the four college directors.

"We have reached an agreement now, and will announce a temporary solution to the entire college soon, and the Knights of Truth stationed in the Holy City will also come immediately to help us work together to solve the biggest crisis ever! ~" Dean confident Say it full.

"Just dead ... it's the seventh." Richard corrected Peggy expressionlessly.

Lacrore's voice expanded with magic seemed very calm, but even so, when the news about the parasitic puppet was announced, the state of the entire academy was still in an uncontrollable madness. Most of Winfield's students come from the aristocratic class. They manipulate huge powers and receive the most elite education, but unfortunately, these mages have never dealt with head-to-head monsters. When it was now told that death and fear were in their own bodies, everyone broke out.

Most of the students rushed to the tall tower where the dean was located. After arriving, they discovered that the bronze gate had been closed by powerful magic and could not be opened at all. The remaining people turned to higher wizards for help, but at this moment more than a hundred advanced wizards in the academy were gone.

"What the **** is this? I don't want to die like this!" Everyone's face showed inexorable fear, and the cloud filled the entire college in an instant.

"In short, as long as the Knights of Truth arrives, all problems can be solved. Archmage Federmon has given me assurance that I believe that with his power, parasites in our body will be eliminated." LaCroll Looking at the mage in front of them, said so.

Before the news was released, the savvy dean had concentrated all the high-level wizards in this tower.

"The Mark of Blood is very powerful ~" April replied with anger and fear, "They had better come quickly, otherwise there will only be corpses left here! I don't want to die now ~ ! "

The sorcerers around were pale, and the first time they heard the dean's speech, they stamped themselves with blood. Now, the throbbing pain from the mouth of the heart is stimulating their nerves, causing the whole body to fall into an incurable collapse. As long as a short period of time, the body will completely wither. However, compared with the curse within this control range, the demon that exists in their souls and does not know when to tear the host is the real reason for the advanced wizards to tremble.

"Of course." Lacroll nodded. "Well, are you ready to use the Blood Seal for the other students of the college? There have been more than 3,000 low-ranking mages and apprentices around this tower. If they don't say anything, maybe they will blow up the tower. "

All senior wizards nodded silently.

"Good, let's get started. Let's get time to fight the devil first, gentlemen, ladies."

Most people lined up at the appeal of the Dean and the Student Union, waiting to receive the mark of blood. Anxiety and anxiety blended in their expressions-just seeing the faces of advanced wizards who had used the mark of blood, they knew how powerful the curse was.

But even though all the high-ranking mages took the lead in using Necromancy spells on their own, many noble children refused to accept the so-called "temporary treatment plan." They looked coldly at the side of the team and claimed The dean paid the price for such an accident. Continued arguing made noises one after another, until the screams screamed without warning.

In front of the eyes, a mage's abdomen suddenly swelled, and the exquisite mage's robe broke open at once, revealing the terrible belly inside. The forcibly stretched skin makes a tragic tear and gradually becomes transparent, and people can even clearly see the intestines and organs that are wriggling in the body-under the action of some force, these organs also appear distorted and deformed. .

The whole square suddenly quieted down, and everyone's brains were just blank, because even the sense of fear was frozen for a moment, and everyone could only stand rigidly in place, watching everything in front of them indifferently. And the mage's voice floated far away.

"Save me ~! Who will save me ... use the mark of blood ..." The features on his face were tangled together, making a painful expression. The next moment, the host's belly looked like a broken balloon, and it burst open. With the dull sound, countless pieces of minced meat and blood spray were sprayed on the dumb chickens.

"Hurry up and use the mark of blood ~!" Shouted the students who had come back to God, and rushed to the high-level mages at the gate of the tower. Not only that, but even those mages who had stood idly by now tried to squeeze to the forefront of the team, and people lost control for a moment.

"How can it be like this!" Alice, who was in the lookout room at the top of the tower, looked anxiously at what was happening under her feet.

"Don't worry, anyone will get such a response when they are stimulated. LaCroll will soon calm them down." Richard stood beside the girl, but he did not look at the bottom of the tower through the window probe. Under the circumstances, the mage's eyes remained on the book pages.

"But even if everyone accepts the curse ... the problem remains unsolved."

"Of course I know it won't last long, so I'm trying to find a way to deal with parasitic stings."

"Can I help you?" The girl said seriously.

Hearing the words of the opponent, the necromancer laughed uncontrollably: "If you don't even understand necromantic spells such as the Mark of Blood, how could it help? But rest assured, I already have a preliminary idea, hope this The idea is correct, so that we can get rid of the curse erosion as soon as possible. "

"I'm confident." Alice glanced at Richard, "Don't be afraid ... to die?"

"Of course I was scared, because I was afraid of death, so I wanted to find a solution as soon as possible," Richard shrugged, "I don't want to just eat the soul for the little devil and die It will never be recorded in the accident of the history books. After all, there is too much truth in this world waiting for me to inquire. "

For some reason, the words of the Necromancer suddenly increased: "Man lives to satisfy his curiosity. Although God always stands high and presents the existence of prophecy, but I also want to know what the so-called destiny is anyway. In order to obtain this right of inquiry ... I must live to do it. Whether it is to choose a necromancy spell, to become the assistant of the Minister of Iron and Blood Slater, perform human experiments, or to make myself forget the fear now, all this is just In order to retain that right, that's all. "

"Ask me to borrow that book of magic in order to find out the truth?" Alice smiled.

"As far as my research conclusions are concerned, Necromantics and magic are best suited to inquire into the mysteries of the Three Realms." Richard's mouth also raised, "but I never expected that the always well-behaved Winfield College Student Union Supervisor, there is such a ban on books. "

"That's for a reason." The girl wanted to find a reason to refute each other, but the next moment, they both fell into silence.

In the direction of the holy capital, the light reflecting the cold light of the weapon was spreading along the horizon. The tide was approaching the tower quickly. Richard even felt that the earth beneath the galloping horses was shaking slightly. With.

The main force of the Rainers Alliance-Knights of Truth.

This sublime legion has 70,000 fighters, including 1,200 well-trained priests, 800 experienced mages, and 1,500 Reynolds paladins. Not only that, there are also several "swordmasters" from the northern continent in the Knights of Truth. They can manipulate the legendary power-sword fighting gas. It is said that Meredith, the leader of the Knights of Truth, possessed that. ability.

It would not be an exaggeration to call it the strongest knight in the continent.

"The Knight of Truth is here ~! Master Meredith must be able to solve this problem ~!" The reflection of the armor was reflected in the eyes of the young mage, and they exclaimed with surprise.

The crowd that was silent like a stagnant water immediately broke out at this moment, and people furiously rushed to the front door of the college.

"Open the door ~!" Said April, with anxiety in his tone. Eight mages began to chant mantras at the same time, and the classical arch with powerful spells slowly opened its arms in the frustrating voice to greet the arrival of the knights.

"I welcome you on behalf of the academy, please allow me to lead the way for Lord Meredith." April said as he walked out the door. But to his surprise, the other party did not respond with proper etiquette. On the contrary, the soldiers standing at the front raised the shield in their hands and posed a defensive posture.

"Please stop immediately, Master Mage ~!" Said the leading soldier in a polite but unquestionable tone, meanwhile, a group of archers silently opened their bows and took arrows, aiming behind the heavy infantry and walking towards the front. April, "If you move forward, the Knights of Truth will attack you!"

The completely unexpected answer made Aprilier frightened on the spot, but he quickly understood what was going on, and the young face immediately turned red: "Do you dare to pretend here? This is Wen Field College ~! Do you know who I am? I am the son of Secretary of the Interior Boris Brian ~! "

He said that the magic in the **** ring quickly laid two enchantments around him, and took a step forward without showing any weakness. The mages who followed April also clenched the staff in their hands. The surrounding atmosphere became tense as if the bowstring was pulled apart.

"I already said that no one can pass ~!" The soldier shook the sword in his hand.

The next moment, the howling winds passed by the mage's ears, the tough green grass fell down on the ground, and everyone's clothes made a tear-like muffled sound. After a while, the wind around them gradually stopped, and none of the wizards who had just tried to confront the Cavaliers dare to take another step, including April.

The legendary power called Sword Fighting Qi carved two bottomless ditches on the ground in front of them, and the fracture was as smooth as jade.

"Please cooperate with us and don't leave this academy! Otherwise, kill without amnesty." Sword Master repeated the words just a third time, and no one voiced objections.

"What are they doing?" Alice muttered unbelievably.

The Knights of Truth did not send any personnel to support, not only that, they also surrounded the entire academy. Almost just in a blink of an eye, Wingfield College on the outskirts of the Holy Capital has become an isolated island. The heavy infantry quickly and orderly reached the forefront, close to the college wall. These steel-manipulated bodies formed a defensive line of silence, and the mage and priests laid out the law behind that. Array.

"Not only is the encirclement so simple, look at those mages and priests!" Richard also pierced his body out of the window at this moment. "They are setting up the Holy Cross and anti-magic array. It's not working anymore ... "

"Why are they doing this?"

"Who knows? But one thing is for sure, Lacroll has been cheated ~!" The necromancer turned and opened the door of the meditation room. "Come, go to the conference room below, I think the dean is also now I'd love to know what the Knights of Truth intends to do. "

Even across the thick sandalwood door, Dean LaCroll's hysterical voice still came out of the room. During the time when the two were going downstairs, many high-ranking mages were crowded into the waiting room, but they were blocked by the student union cadres outside the meeting room door. Of course, they did not intend to stop their boss, Alice Strevef. And in the name of the student union steward, the necromancer was able to enter in the eyes of others' suspicion.

"This is different from what we said earlier, Your Excellency ~!" Lacroll's jaw shuddered as he gasped, "Why the **** is this blocked?"

"Yes, I know, please be quiet, Lacroll." The image of Archmage Federman replied slowly. With the distraction of the magic circle, the goatee's face in the crystal ball seemed extraordinarily weird and difficult to get close to, "but then I found some other things ... about parasitic maggots."

"What else?" The dean's jaw was still moving fiercely.

"The parasitic maggot will devour the human soul, and after that, it will rush out of the host's flesh. I originally thought that this demon would lose its connection with this world, but then I discovered that ... the death of a person means only parasitic He will look for the next host ... Do you know what this means? "Federman's expression revealed the cruelty of the executioner," The plague ~! This is the same thing as the plague ~! And more than that, being demons Parasites are quite infected with incurable diseases, and even the priest of the goddess is helpless. Should n’t such a terrible plague be blocked? ”

"But we can use the anti-magic enchantment ~!"

"Yes, so I asked the mages to protect the enchantment for all the soldiers of the Knights of Truth," the other side answered concisely, "but even for the Alliance, it is impossible for every Renas believer to spend all day. Use enchantments ... "

"Then what should I do?" Lacroll finally interrupted the other party regardless of etiquette. "Even if there is a mark of blood, the remaining time will not exceed one month ~! Is there no countermeasure?"

"Lacrore, I think you should know the plague that happened in Lasiubar six years ago." The smile of the archmage made the temperature in the conference room drop by a few degrees. The face of the dean and the directors was immediately shrouded in frost.

"In the year 294 of Reinas, the workers in the mining town of Lashbar excavated strange things, and that night, the entire town was dizzy and disgusting. They soon discovered that the plague had spread. The only mage in the town immediately reported the situation to the nearby lords, but in the end, the people in the town did not wait for the rescue from the priest, but the ruthless sharp arrows. They were blocked in the town ... … Three days later, the blockade forces directly burned the entire town with magic, and the total death toll is conservatively estimated at 6,400 ... ”Richard ’s voice was like a cry of ghosts, looming behind everyone Then it sounded, "The information of the plague was not made public at all, and only the senior members of the alliance knew about it. As far as I know, the person in charge at that time was Federman."

"So ... this time we too ..." Alice finally understood the meaning of the sentence.

"It turned out to be you, Necromancer Richard Bares. But I didn't expect the Ombudsman of the Ombudsman to be with you." Federman laughed slightly, turning his attention away from Lacroll's The body shifted over, "Is Slater telling you the Rashbar plague incident? That guy doesn't want to smear political opponents all the time, but unfortunately, he can't do anything now ..."

"Where is Meredith, the head of the Knights? Gathering troops at a distance of less than 30 kilometers from the Saint, surrounded the famous Winfield College ... what exactly do you want?" Richard questioned the other party.

"The head of Meredith is still planning the future of the alliance with the leaders. This is also the purpose of his trip and cannot be terminated for this kind of thing. So I am responsible for everything at the moment." Federmont answered briefly, and then aggravated After the tone, "The students of Winfield College are mostly aristocrats, so I definitely do not want the incident in the town of Rashbar mine to repeat itself, so that there is only one way to go ..."

"What is it?" Lacroll's eyes looked cloudy and urgent.

"Give me the magic mages and all related materials. I, the chief mage of the Alliance Magic Association, and the best high-level mages around me, will find out how to deal with the parasitic maggots. One month, OK through."

"Do you want to take the magic mages as your own?" Necromancer narrowed his eyes, and his body approached the crystal ball unconsciously.

"This is good for all of us. After all, even the Knights of Truth will have to pay a lot of money for the 3,500 mages stationed in the Seven Towers, and it is not my intention to embarrass these noble children. . This is just a last resort ... "The Archmage bluntly said," As long as there is that legal array, all problems will be solved. Or, do you think I will deceive you? "

"Where is that magic circle? Richard Bares?" A director asked impatiently, and the sight of the entire room focused on the necromancer for a moment.

"I reject this proposal," Richard's sharp eyes still faced the image in the crystal ball. "Fedmond, you are wrong. Parasites are by no means human-manipulable powers. Such demons are only for the present. Bringing a devastating disaster ~! I won't give you the magic circle ~! "

"The Enchanted Circle and all the information are still in the room of the Necronomicon Tower?" Lacroll interrupted Richard, "I guess you didn't expect to transfer those things, so even if there is no You ... we can do this as well ... "

The necromancer did not answer, but his pale face due to the curse could not conceal his inner shake, and he subconsciously clenched the staff in his hand. Richard has two directors on each side, both experienced high-level mages, and Lacroll stands behind him, without having to speculate that the necromancer knows what he wants to do now. In the crystal ball in front of him, Federman's image looked at himself with a mockery.

What should I do? Richard's brain was moving fast. He didn't have any way to let himself sing the attack magic within three seconds, and this time was enough for the five adults to hold themselves to the ground. Not only that, even if you can successfully cast Dead Cloud or Fireball, the effect may not be as expected-high-level mage usually carries amulets to quickly release the defensive enchantment in times of crisis.

It seems that the only way is melee. Necromancer's hand slowly drew down, and the angle was adjusted delicately so that the dagger hidden in the clothing could be quickly pulled out. Richard regrets that he didn't learn wrestling at first, and he has almost no fighting back in the current situation. However, out of the usual awe of the necromancer, the dean and director did not immediately act, and the two sides stood like a statue and stood still.

The pendulum on one side is still ticking slowly, without paying any attention to the time that has solidified before the eyes, and the people who are nervous and nervous.

The next moment, the deadlock more fragile than glass was broken without warning. Richard noticed that everything in front of him suddenly became very dazzling, and a strong burning sensation quickly passed from his back. At the same time, the dean and directors also made painful growls.

A delicate touch came from Richard's hand, and Alice took his hand: "Let's go!"

Regardless of the other party ’s surprise, the girl sang the spell that opened the transfer matrix as fast as possible. Before she was drawn into the blue light, the necromancer finally glanced at the conference room-Dean Lacroll and Four The directors covered their eyes with both hands and fell to the ground in pain.

"Come here! Catch them ~! Catch them ~!" Lacroll shouted in a hoarse voice, but when the mage outside the door rushed in, all he saw was the afterimage of the transferred magic circle, And high school students with red and swollen eyes and tears.

"Did you just use flash?" The necromancer had an incredible expression. He glanced around the environment, and soon found that Alice had brought him to the necrotic tower. Here is exactly what he did to the two of them. Explain the room you passed by.

"This is not the time to say this, they will be here soon!" The girl replied solemnly, "We must take all the information away and find a place to hide."

Richard nodded, and quickly put away the scrolls and books on the table: "If there is a place to hide, there is exactly one here. Come with me."

The entire academy was boiling like boiling water-Richard the Necromancer and Alice, the student council member, stole the key information to destroy the parasitic puppet and hid it-the news made everyone lose their senses , Especially when they feel the mark of blood is squeezing their vitality.

The mage used a group of six people to search for the trace of the two people between the seven towers. They rummaged through every turf of the college and carefully checked every room of the seven high towers. During this period, the restrictions on the Necrotic Tower were lifted. Any suspicious details will be held back, but even so, Richard and Alice have not been found, they seem to have evaporated.

Reynolds calendar October 14, 2000, one week after the parasitic puppet event, the 300th National Day of the Alliance. As one of the symbols of alliance strength, Wingfield College, representing the highest authority of magic, will proudly accept visits and blessings from all over the alliance. The first stop of the Pope's tour after the National Day ceremony should be here.

But now, there is no one in the whole square, but the statue of the goddess Renus is lonely receiving the baptism of autumn wind and fallen leaves. Some colleges are still searching for clues in the college despite their tiredness, but more people stay in their rooms, praying to the goddess, longing for the advent of miracles. Many high-level wizards pin their hopes on negotiations with the Knights of Truth, wandering outside the door of the dean's room all day, even though the door has never been opened for them once.

Around the academy, countless Holy Cross and Anti-Magic Arrays are closely surrounded outside the fence, not only blocking the possibility of high-ranking mages escaping, but also cutting off almost all communications. Not only that, but in order to avoid the parasitic escape, the archers did not even let go of the birds in their sight.

And mixed with fear, restlessness, hysteria, anger, and the shadows of despair, this place immersed in dead silence quickly breeds.

"The nobles are coming ~! The relatives of the students are coming ~!" A director rushed into the dean's room. "Although the news was blocked, the abnormality of the college during the National Day period caught most people's attention ~! "

"Really?" Lacroll stood up staggeringly and walked towards the window. After only two days, his appearance was beyond recognition-his eye sockets were sunken, and scum was thick, if not for his gorgeous but dirty clothes, he looked more like a street tramp.

"Yeah ... a lot of people came, the Minister of Home Affairs, the Minister of Finance, the lords of several big cities ... all came ..." the dean muttered, but remained expressionless, "but even if they protest, The Knights of Truth will not compromise ... "

Besides, what they want to save is only their son or daughter? No one cares about the fate of others, they only want privileges ... Lacroix, who has been soaked in politics for many years, knows exactly what these people think. Since his destiny cannot be expected from these nobles, he obviously doesn't care They are necessary.

And the scene two days ago reappeared again, the sword fighter's sword fighting spirit stopped the conflict around the Knights in an instant-no one wanted to be hit by that kind of power. Not only that, but Federman even appeared in person to persuade the nobles, but the leader Meredith never appeared.

Is that guy conspiring again? What kind of requirements would he ask the nobles? The Dean's mouth widened, forming a twisted smile. He regretted it so much that he believed in Federman at first, and now he was in a state of immobility.

"Lackroll, you should be clear. I have no power to help you. As the chief mage of the Knights of Truth, I will never let demons such as the parasitic maggot spread to the entire continent ~ so the only way is to find翎 法 阵 ... "Federman's sounding remarks emerged from his mind yesterday.

"Damn **** ~! Beasts ~!" Lacrole suddenly burst into motion, his fat fists slammed against the wall, again and again, until both hands were stained with dazzling red, "Damn Federmont ... you This bastard, if I can leave here ... "The decadent fat man fell to his knees and couldn't cry.

"I didn't expect it to be the one who saved me." Richard shook his head with a mockery.

"Do you think I will agree with those people?" Alice was dissatisfied.

This is the sewer of Winfield College, and the two are in a narrow, closed room at the end of the canal. From the perspective of style, this space seems to be a room cut out to facilitate the transportation of materials when the underground pipeline was originally built. The most important point is that no one knows this except Richard, who found it by coincidence a long time ago. Place of existence.

"No, of course not ... it's just that I thought that the student council director who always follows the school rules should not make a decision in such a short time and be the enemy of the entire college," the necromancer shrugged, and he knew Ellie Principle, but he did not expect that she would help her without hesitation-even if that meant becoming a public enemy of the college.

Would I be willing to do this if I were in that position ... from the status of a student council director to the misery of the college's public enemy ... the mage asked himself.

"Why did you decide to help you ... because you explained it clearly," Alice said with a natural expression, and she began to speak in the tone Richard had just said, "'Parasite is not a force that humans can control, Such demons will only bring extinct disasters to the present world! 'If they want to do it alone, it can only be said that they lack humanity. "

"Is it less human than I am?" Richard asked, and the mage remembered the girl's flushed face when he announced that he was going to perform a human experiment.

Alice nodded as a matter of course, then the two of them laughed tacitly, the dignified atmosphere naturally dissipated at that moment.

"You know, I have no blood relationship with the aristocratic class. At the age of three, my brother was born, but because of the dystocia relationship, my mother's body became very weak." Alice said with her own eyes, eyes As if going back to the distant past, "At that time, our family was very poor, so no priest came to treat her. I once went down to the Tower of Aludia, but I could only watch from a distance. Those priests, The teaching assistant gave a passionate speech there, and the aristocrats dressed in gorgeous clothes showed pious expressions ... but I don't understand why the mother didn't get the favor of the goddess? "

"Mom left like that, and I still remember her beautiful and serene appearance. Since then, Dad has become personal and stays outside all day ..." The girl's voice suddenly trembled, "until one day He never came back ... The people in the church said that his father had fallen into evil and sentenced him to fire. "

"What happened later?" After a long silence, Richard finally asked.

"Ombudsman Clement Streff adopted my brother and I ... my adoptive father was a very nice man, and he has always had a good life," Alice lowered her head, "but in her childhood I will never forget. Not only that, I also know that the so-called happiness is something that can only be touched on the basis of power. "

"So why choose to become a mage?"

"Compared to the church, it's much better here. At least when there is no crisis, the mages are still very friendly." The girl suddenly smiled. "And, isn't there a righteous necromancer here? ? "

"I just want to save myself," Richard answered.

"So can you create magic against parasitic maggots?" The girl's pupils stared at each other quietly.

"Maybe, although we can't make any guarantees, but our lives depend on it, so I will do my best." Necromancer said, "From now on."

The two stayed in the narrow closet in this way. Apart from the piles of information, they only had the staff that gave off a cold light. The curse of the Blood Seal and the lack of food made their faces worse and worse, but no one complained. Richard buried his head silently in the scrolls, with drafts he could draw everywhere on the cold walls, and Alice was responsible for going out to find anything to fill the hunger-despite the only living creature in the sewer There are only mice, and even if they are cooked with magic, their meat is still difficult to swallow.

On October 15, the relatives of many members of the Winfield College clashed with the Knights of Truth, which was responsible for blocking the area, but after nearly forty people were injured, they finally retreated to the outside of the cordon.

On October 20, two students suddenly vomited blood and fell to the square. The two turned into zombies under the curse of the Blood Seal before people wanted to rescue them. The mages with their fears poured countless fireballs and lightning onto the demons.

On October 22, some mages intended to highlight the siege of the Knights. They launched attacks at night, but most of them died under the arrows, and the rest were passed by the Holy Cross for the moment they crossed the circle. Burned out the soul. The moment they contacted the magic circle, the demon in the boarding house immediately issued a sharp mourning. The ugly form was clearly presented to the soldiers in the light of the flame, together with the distorted expressions of the mage before death, weaved A nightmare that scares everyone.

On October 24, a female student was attacked. The student who attempted to **** her was the best student in her class. In the end, the mage was burnt into coke by the lightning chain. Since then, not only have the female mages joined together, other people have also formed various small groups to protect themselves. The discipline of Winfield College, the student union and management broke down completely.

On October 28, a full three weeks have passed since the escape. At this moment, Alice was staggering in the sewer. She had originally planned to find some food that could satisfy hunger, but after a whole afternoon of hard work, it turned out to be only a dirty mouse.

There was a tingling sensation all over the body, and the dark sewer in front of it turned into fuzzy darkness. Alice was very clear that the curse of the blood mark had already extracted most of her vitality, and the terrible food such as rat meat had completely drained her last appetite. The next moment, the girl suddenly felt a heat flow from her throat, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, but even so, blood was seeping from her fingers.

Has it reached this level? Richard once told her that hemoptysis was a late-curse symptom. If the subject continued to vomit blood, it would quickly become a zombie. Will my last fate be an ugly monster wandering in the sewer? Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but fight.

Never let yourself collapse like this, otherwise those previous efforts will be in vain, and the entire college will die ~! Whether it ’s a parasitic maggot or a mark of blood, it ca n’t be intimidated by such a thing ~! Alice told herself again and again in her heart, and clenched her teeth to speed up the pace.

When she entered the secret room, she found that the other party closed the book in a rare way and leaned against the corner without thinking.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" The attentive girl noticed that there was also a bloodshot in the corner of Richard's mouth-but the other party obviously did not intend to mention vomiting.

"Nothing ... the array is complete."

"It's done !?" Alice exclaimed joyfully.

"To be precise, it's reached my limit. This is the best way I can imagine," Richard still frowned. "But I don't know if this works ... And, it Could cause fatal harm to the human body ... "

In front of the necromancer, an extremely complex pattern is spreading out-the soul redemption array.

This is a superposition of three normals. The first layer is responsible for unraveling the blood mark, and then subjecting the subject to a state of false death; the second layer creates a false soul and attracts the parasitic pupae from the original host; the third layer is the most critical, and must be undetected by the devil In the case of killing it by removing magic and causing the subject's blood to flow again, an anti-magic enchantment is added to ensure that the soul will not be attacked by other parasitic puppets.

The principle is simple, but it is very cumbersome to implement. Any error in any link-whether it is the parasitic rampage or the failure of the false death operation-may lead to the death of the subject.

"But in any case, let me test the effectiveness of this circle."

"Don't be kidding ~! Do you want to bet with life ~ !?" Richard's volume suddenly increased in an instant.

"But if we don't use it, no matter how we meditate here, nothing will happen."

Richard just shook his head impatiently: "There will be a way. I'm considering negotiating with people in the academy and let them test the effectiveness of this matrix first. Then they will be promoted. In order to save you and me, That's why I'm studying in this kind of place. If anything happens now, what's the point? "

"So how do you negotiate?"

Necromancer was speechless for a moment.

"We will never surrender the Capricorn Faction. In this case, will Federmont be willing to negotiate with us ... these demons with parasites in it? Is that impossible? Everything is just a struggle for power. "It's just a victim," the girl lowered her head. "From the beginning, that's it, you should know it's impossible ..."

"So let me, after all, I'm also responsible for this." Richard put his hand on Alice's slender shoulder.

"But if Richard is dead, this matrix can never be completed, isn't it?" Alice tried to make her tone easier, "And I believe it was said to be" born to feel The magic circle 'made by those who come to the magic rhythm' must be perfect. "

"Let me come." There was a firm look in those aqua eyes, she said, standing in the center of the circle, "let's start."

Richard knew that the logic of the other side could not be refuted, and from the beginning, he had no other way to go. The mage had to nod his head silently: "Do you believe that ... is someone who is born to feel the magic rhythm ..."

"Relax your body and try to put yourself into a meditation state, that will more quickly accept the power of the magic circle." Richard pressed his palm on the pattern, and the magic of his fingers slowly flowed into the lines of the magic circle. The next moment, as if the city was awake at night, the Red Soul array began to light up from the outside to the inside, and made a crisp sound.

People live to satisfy their curiosity. That's why I became a mage, so I came into contact with Umbra, so I wanted to learn the forbidden magic ... everything was just based on the desire for the unknown. Richard stared intently at the sight before him. The words of magic were swirling in a spiral-shaped circle, emitting a veil-like light, and wrapped Alice tightly in the center of the vortex.

But what I long for now is to make this spell successful ...

The fully-automated Red Soul Array has entered the second stage of the spell. An off-white shadow protruded from the girl's body, and the magical light clearly outlined the demon's silhouette-it was like a huge hundred-footed centipede, with a slender body and numerous touching feet. Richard knew that this demon could not see things in this world, but when the ugly skull that resembled a human slowly turned around, the necromancer still felt irritated.

The parasite was soon attracted by the breath of the pseudo-soul. The giant reptile completely broke away from Alice with her eyes closed and quickly moved to the target. The light was flowing in the redemption array like mercury, and the spell had entered its final stage.

As long as there is no error at the end ~! Richard held the staff in his hand tightly, staring at the dazzling light. The whole body of the parasitic maggot began to twitch, which shows that the magic removal effect has already been produced, and then come down, just wait for the girl to wake up ...

But the accident happened suddenly and it was too fast to react. The demon was dying frantically. Its long tail hit the magic circle, and the precise magical text immediately lost its original effectiveness. The immediate chain reaction caused the entire red soul array to tremble. The vortex of light instantly turned into countless star dust flying away in random directions.

The girl's body fell softly, and Richard hurriedly caught her.

Alice opened her eyes, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth: "You succeeded."

Necromancer just shook his head, and his mind went blank. If the magic of resuscitation is interrupted, it will be the inevitable death waiting for the subject, which is the common sense taught by the mages long ago. But when Richard remembered it now, his heart was full of fear.

"I saw the demon burned to ashes, and then, as long as I protect the circle itself, everything is perfect." Alice said intermittently, but the mage stopped her action.

"Don't move, don't talk ~! I'll treat it for you ~! You will be fine, I promise ~!" He said incoherently.

"It's useless, Richard, this is probably destined ..." The girl smiled helplessly, her slender body was gradually cold in Richard's arms.

Richard shook his head, and he racked his brains in search of spells that could delay life, but found nothing. because of this
