Hidden Corners

Li Chengyi didn't even look at the fallen barbarian warrior, nor did he care about the strange moment of silence on the battlefield.

His eyes looked towards the snowy fields in the distance, towards the distance where the barbarians were coming.

Quickly looking away, he raised his sword and looked at the other barbarians.

"Those who kneel will not be killed."

oh! ! !

The soldiers were silent for a moment, and then burst into indescribable cheers.

His own lord actually easily killed a barbarian warrior one on one! !

This means that his lord has probably reached the level of a glorious knight! !

A glorious knight who is less than twenty! !

This is simply a miracle!

Some knowledgeable soldiers suddenly went crazy, and their morale was like a short-term stimulant, rapidly rising to its peak.

The four knights are also knowledgeable people. Thinking back to the scene just now, they often took a breath of cold air in their hearts.

They know how much power and precision it takes to kill a warrior alone.

It was precisely because of this that they understood how much technical content Li Chengyi's move contained just now.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!!"

All the Black Fort troops roared and rushed forward quickly.

The barbarians, on the other hand, lost their backbone, their morale plummeted, and they retreated.

Li Chengyi, alone with one sword, stepped forward and chased them casually, leaving dozens of barbarian corpses behind.

His relaxed and powerful gesture left everyone around him stunned. Just can't believe it.

Soon, this small battle ended quickly, with more than thirty people killed and more than fifty injured on the human side. Nearly a hundred barbarians died and five were captured.

Totally an unprecedented and huge victory.

And Li Chengyi's reputation began to spread from here for the first time.

White Tower.

Thirteenth floor.

Mida opened her eyes from meditation again and frowned at the mechanical watch on her wrist.

"The time has expired, why hasn't Brian come back yet?" He sent the owl Brian to investigate the situation, but there has been no reply yet.

This is not normal.

According to Brian's habit, she should have sent back the stage results through the intelligence network in advance.

Boom boom.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

The new assistant's voice came from outside the door.

"Mr. Mida, have you finished your meditation?"

"Yes. Is something wrong?" Mida frowned.

When he finishes his meditation, the status sign outside the room will automatically switch.

"It's Lady Petunia from the Knowledge Tower who is here to visit. She has been waiting for you for a long time." the assistant replied.

"Penny." Mida knew about this young genius mage, but the Knowledge Tower and the White Tower had never had any contact. Why did she come here?

"Invite her in."

"yes."

No matter what, it was impossible for Mida to refuse a visit from a new genius who was at least a fourth-level mage.

After all, he himself is only a sixth-level mage, and it might only be a few years before the opponent catches up.

soon.

The door was opened gently.

A cold woman with snow-white hair and a shawl, wearing a blue mage robe and holding a white wooden staff, walked into the room.

Mida stood up and accepted the other party's slight salute.

"Master Petunia came to my place, but something happened?"

"According to the investigation, one of our envoys from the Knowledge Tower, Havina, disappeared in the Okla Territory. And it is said that several mages from the White Tower have disappeared nearby. So I have reason to believe that there may be unfathomable things near that territory. Unknown danger." Penny said solemnly.

"Do you want to jointly investigate?" Mida was stunned. Then he reacted.

"Yes. We deeply suspect that it is very likely that the elves are beginning to show signs of recovery. Those who can boldly attack mages and attack the personnel of our two major organizations are probably elves who have such courage." Penny said solemnly.

"Okay." Mida nodded slightly. Both Brian and Teague were missing in that area. Obviously, this was the key reason why the other party came to join forces.

"Then next, I will personally lead a team to investigate. It is said that Lord Asler, the high-ranking mage of the White Tower, is also there. I hope to share some of the investigation information." Penny said.

Among mages, level six is ​​considered a high position, and the highest level for all mages is level nine.

Mida and Asler have a good relationship, and it is not a big deal to send messages to each other.

"Okay. In this case, I will report it to the higher-ups and ask the royal family to cooperate and dispatch some military forces to conduct a detailed investigation. During this critical period of barbarian invasion, there must be no internal leaks." Mida said solemnly.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Penny lowered her head.

The Battle of Green Screen Town made Li Chengyi's reputation spread rapidly.

The figure that was as light as a flying eagle killing barbarian warriors was known as the Eagle of Okla, and Carlos's name quickly spread with this nickname.

But at this time, after repelling the barbarians, he took the prisoners and returned to the testing site, continuing the cycle of research, observation, learning and exploration every day.

Time passes slowly.

As the study of the barbarian body structure comes to an end.

The flame of Li Chengyi's sword furnace once again increased to three-tenths.

He was happy about this, and his physical fitness gradually improved, reaching ten times that of Milton.

But at this moment, he also had some doubts.

There are so many races in this world, and the human barbarians alone have made three-tenths of the progress. If the rest of the races combined, wouldn't it be possible to directly break through the limits of the Yuan Shen Sword Palace, far exceeding the need to ignite the divine fire?

And elves.

After studying the barbarians, Li Chengyi turned his attention to the elves.

He only caught one elf, which was too few samples.

Although the elf Pariya provided him with a lot of relevant information, it is said that there are also people with various professions and talents within the elf.

Moreover, because of their immortality, the knowledge and history accumulated by elves is definitely far greater than that of other ethnic groups.

After repelling the barbarians, he devoted himself to capturing the elves.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Blacksburg Campus.

Dang!

Li Chengyi casually picked away the heavy sword of a young knight and threw it away. The blade hung easily on the opponent's neck and stopped.

"The reaction is too slow and there are too many flaws. Do we still need to fight?"

The young knight bowed dejectedly, picked up his sword and left.

In the past few months, as his reputation has spread, more and more knights have come to challenge him.

No matter which knight he was, he could only defeat Li Chengyi with a few moves.

His successive victories gradually gave him a new title: The Undefeated Carlos.

The safety of the Okla Territory, after the barbarian warriors were killed several times, was not attacked on a large scale again.

The safe environment attracted new refugees to gather here, and the population of the territory also increased.

Old Buck also had more worries about happiness.

After sheathing his sword and leaving the field, Li Chengyi took the towel handed by the maid to wipe his sweat and was about to take a rest.

"Sir, the mage team from the White Tower and the Knowledge Tower are here." A soldier guard stepped forward and reported in a low voice.

"Oh? OK, let me go and have a look." Li Chengyi's eyes lit up. It is said that a high-ranking mage is leading the team this time. He just wants to see what a high-ranking mage is like, and maybe he can master some knowledge that he has not mastered.

Walk across the school grounds on your way to Blacksburg Hall.

In the gardens on both sides, tall barbarian warriors were wearing gardener's clothes. When they saw Li Chengyi passing by, they all bowed their heads and knelt down in fear to salute.

Two women wearing fully enclosed helmets poked their heads out of a small attic window in the distance.

Through the eye holes of the helmet, they saw Li Chengyi passing by.

Both of them narrowed their eyes and did not dare to look further.

They are Mina and Havena. Since being knocked unconscious, he has been under house arrest here, cooperating with Li Chengyi's research. Now it’s mainly about being an assistant.

The better they know Li Chengyi, the more they fear him.

Barbarians and elves are just slaves of Carlos here.

And the strange things in the experimental area were completely incomprehensible to them.

Li Chengyi quickly entered the hall and saw three mages and four knights sitting on high-backed chairs.

Among the three mages, one of them had a snow-white beard that reached down to his abdomen, wore a white pointed hat, and held a staff made of black iron metal in his hand.

"Asler." After Li Chengyi entered the door, the old mage stood up and turned to face him.

"My name is Asler, Baron Okla. This time we are here to ask you to do a simple test."

He slowly took out a small black book from his pocket.

It was the Mage's Book that Havina had used for testing before.

"I hope you will cooperate with the test. After it is over, we will leave and go to the next lord." Master Asler said calmly.

Li Chengyi read the Book of Mages and then looked at the other knights.

Among those four knights, one of them has the glorious knight mark certified by the imperial royal family.

Moreover, the three mages were also faintly suppressing strong fluctuations that could erupt at any time.

Obviously, they were specifically targeting him.

Also, he has done so many things before and after, and there is no impermeable wall in the world. With so many soldiers and maids around the Black Castle, it is very common for people to leak secrets.

"Just in time, I also have something that I want to communicate with Baita." Li Chengyi paused and smiled on his face.

"Baron Okla, there are now thousands of troops gathered from nearby territories stationed outside the Black Fort. Every word, every move you make is related to the safety of everyone in the entire Black Fort. You should know what to do." Siler said calmly.

He was almost certain that the person in front of him was probably the real culprit who colluded with the elves.

The place where Mina and Havina finally disappeared was right here. Even if Okla was not the one who did it, he must be involved.

"Tell me, what did you do? What is the truth?" Asler looked into Li Chengyi's eyes.

Seeing that the other party was so determined, Li Chengyi didn't bother to pretend anymore.

He clapped his hands gently and showed admiration.

"Okay, I admit it. I was the one who killed the griffins and the two groups of mages in the cedar forest over there. It was also me who captured the elves running around over there and killed the two rebellious elf tribes. It was also me who captured Qiu Qi. The messenger of the tower hunted and imprisoned several barbarian warriors and dozens of barbarians as coolies."

"But I also have my own reasons." Li Chengyi smiled and spread his hands, "I gave them a fair opportunity to exchange knowledge, but they didn't cherish it. Not only did they not cherish it, they also tried to attack me and threatened to kill all humans. So I I can only deal with them all. The tribe of more than 2,000 people wasted a lot of my time."

Asler and others listened with normal expressions at first. After all, the suspicion has been confirmed.

But as we got to the back, the expressions on their faces became more and more wrong.

The recent events around the Oklahoma Territory seemed to correspond to what Baron Carlos said in front of him.

"Knowledge should be fluid. In order to reduce the number of die-hards like them who are self-preserving and hinder the exchange and sharing of knowledge. I have to kill them all. Killing elves should be a major merit in imperial law, right?" Li Chengyi's eyes were burning. , staring closely at Master Asler.

The malice in his eyes was already obvious.

Obviously, as long as the other party dares to say no, everyone present will not be able to leave this hall today.

A murderous aura that was so strong that it made people feel numb all over quietly escaped from Li Chengyi's body.

Outside the hall door, barbarian warrior gardeners were slowly blocking the door and window exits with huge soil shovels, staring at the people inside.

Gulu.

Asler swallowed unconsciously. As a high-ranking mage, he immediately sensed the blood on the opponent's body.

The terrifying blood energy that had not completely dissipated after killing a large number of creatures lingered on the man in front of him as if it were a substance.

He felt the terrifying and cruel fluctuations
