Chapter 239 Branch 24.4-B: The failed backlight plan

·

After a large-scale assassination battle, you have been promoted to level 8. Your spells have not only become more numerous but also more powerful. Coupled with the tips from the senior back-row instructor, objectively speaking, as an 8th-level mage, your talent and progress are different.

Extraordinary.

For example, the self-created level 4 arcana "Lesser Mud Turns to Stone" is modified based on the well-known level 5 arcana "Mud Turns to Stone", and it is reduced by one level at the cost of reducing the permanent effect to temporary effect.

Many legendary mages in history have created a variety of new spells in their own style. Although you have not yet reached this level of proficiency, since Octavia can rewrite existing fire arcana spells, you

There's no reason why it can't be done.

I originally planned to use this "low-grade mud turned into stone" to deal with large-area swamps blocking roads, or for emergency purposes, but unexpectedly, it ended up being used in captivity.

You danced your hands at high speed, and as you finished reciting the spell, the bottomless quagmire that Baron Edward was trapped in quickly hardened.

He was overjoyed: "Ha, I'm saved!"

He was shocked: "Huh? I can't get out?"

Today, the lord is buried in a solid rock formation from the chest down. He is unlucky, and even his left elbow is sealed in it. Waving his right arm, gesturing with his fingers, breathing and talking - this is all he can do.

Damn? What are you doing? Pull me out quickly! Don't let the wolf you summoned lick my ears, it's so itchy! - After Edward screamed for a while, he was finally blocked by you. Just stay stuck in the stone.

The arcane spell wears off after about eight hours.

It is always inappropriate to take him back to the castle. Whether it is private soldiers or mobs, it is difficult for the baron to remain silent. There are too many secret doors in the castle and it is easy for him to escape again.

Don't add any more extraneous matters, trap him like this and wait for dark.

soon,

Your entourage is also arriving one after another, and there are no private soldiers or mobs following you.

With Leia as the pathfinder, leave the castle, go around to the woods on the outskirts and come straight to you. She can communicate with you within a certain distance through words. In the eyes of the Pixies, things in the main material plane naturally

There is another scene - soil is soil, mud is mud, grass is grass. Even if human beings seem to be surrounded by muddy land full of weeds, they are almost the same, and she can accurately distinguish where is the grass.

There is a deep quagmire with dense water elements, and there is an ordinary grassland with mostly earth elements.

Everyone discovered that you had captured Baron Edward who was causing trouble, so they prepared to camp on the spot and waited until dark.

Although it was certain that Leia was unharmed, what happened to her just now?

I was suddenly transferred to the roof of the castle and placed in a cage. However, there was no way a large cage for humans could hold me - Leia flew out of the gap in the cage easily.

Elizabeth and Annette were fine, but Miss Jenna was so frightened that her face was still pale and her eyes were straight. How could the pampered young lady know how low the real value of human life is outside the mansion? Today

It's really a light thing.

Annette cast the level 3 arcane "Camping Cabin", and everyone, including Baron Edward, was enveloped in a spherical force field with a radius of 6 meters. There was a light source in the square of the dome inside, and the temperature was pleasant. People could come in and out freely, and from inside

Looking out, the cover is transparent, but looking in, it has yellow-green camouflage to prevent peeping.

No one here knew how to survive in the wild, and it was inconvenient to run around in the swamp for hunting, so they camped on the spot and used the fruits, pastries, fish and fresh goods brought by the eldest lady's two maids.

It was drizzling outside,

With no rain or wind, you can still enjoy the rain scenery leisurely in the forest, which is quite pleasant. Some people doze off, and some people close their eyes and take a nap.

Annette looked at Baron Edward, half of his body stuck in the stone, and asked you: "Are you really not going to interrogate him?"

He is not a suspect, he cannot be beaten or scolded, and he talks nonsense. As long as the Sunset couple meet, all the truth will be revealed, so that they will not have to worry about distinguishing right from wrong.

Jenna held the book and would peek at the gagged Baron from time to time. Of course she knew from the beginning that the other person was the person she was forced to marry, but she had not expressed anything yet.

After contacting Mrs. Edward, the vampire couldn't wait for the sun to completely set, so she ran over wrapped in thick linen. When she found that her husband was trapped in the stone, she hurried forward, knelt on her knees, and stretched out

He took out his hands that were burnt by the sun and caressed the Baron's cheek lovingly.

Her voice was choked with sobs: "...How could things end up like this? You have been wronged."

Although it was already dusk and the forest could avoid direct sunlight, she must be in the most pain at the moment. She took off the rag stuffed in her husband's mouth and asked, "Are you injured?"

"It turns out you hired them! You are such a hateful bitch! Release me quickly!"

Well, Mrs. Edward couldn't wait for the spell's time limit and cast a "dispel magic" on the rocky ground, turning the rock into a quagmire again in an instant. Then she lifted her husband out with one hand and placed him lightly and gently on the ground.

She leaned over and wiped the mud from her husband's armor with the sleeves of her expensive cassock.

"Don't be like this!" The baron raised his arm to push the vampire away, "Aren't we divorced? Why did you come back again and hire outsiders to help?"

Mrs. Edward sat upright, lowered her head, and muttered, "If I... don't agree, it won't be officially divorced..." her voice was quieter than the sound of a mosquito.

"In the end what you want!"

"Let's get back together... I don't care about all the things you used to worry about."

"Okay, eldest sister, grandma, can't you let me live? I am a human and you are a vampire. We are on different paths. It is good for everyone to be separated. Don't continue to pester me."

"It turns out you are not like this. It was that bad woman who seduced you. Can you please wake up? Do you really not remember how much you loved me? I know you don't really want a divorce. Just give it to me.

Opportunity - I have met a priest (Julianne) who can help you to "remove the spell". Come with me, you will definitely wake up from the confusion, and we will definitely be able to return to the past."

The couple was going back and forth, and you could hear their words in distress, and then you stretched out your hand to push Annette forward. The big killer Hathaway is not here, so Little Te can also help.

Annette was even more confused than you, with many doubts in her mind, and asked: "It's a bit confusing, please let me sort it out from the beginning... How did you two meet and fall in love?" Since you now feel that people and ghosts have different paths, why did you do it in the first place?

What about marriage?

Both of them were silent.

Mrs. Edward looked back on the past: "I was originally an ordinary little village girl from a far away place. I was persecuted by the local powerful. Because I was young and good-looking at the time, I was attracted by a high-level vampire and was accepted as a subordinate. The master was both noble and noble.

He was strong, but because of his overly flamboyant behavior, he eventually died at the hands of a high-ranking Paladin. The few remaining members of our group had to live a life of struggling to survive under the knife's edge, and were hunted for a long time."

"I was unable and unwilling to avenge my master, so I lived a low-key life and hid around here. At that time, there were only two families in the Silent Rain Swamp Territory, not even a small camp. After the other companions were hunted down by the paladins,

, it was my turn. I tried my best to hide my traces, but one day, the paladin finally came to my door."

"It was my husband who stood up and won their mercy to spare my life. At that time, I made an arcane contract not to kill innocent people indiscriminately for the rest of my life, but only to suck the blood of volunteers without harming their lives. To this day, I still

Observe strictly."

"My husband at the time... had just celebrated his fourth birthday." Mrs. Edward said this, looking at the Baron with moist eyes.

As time passed, all of this powerful paladin group died due to political internal strife. Mrs. Edward was safe, but she also developed a picky eating habit - she could only accept Edward's blood, and other people's blood would make her stomach ache.

The reasons include her desire to evolve the species deliberately, the fact that Edward was carefully cared for and raised with high-quality blood, and the multiple reasons why she signed a magical contract not to suck blood randomly.

Time has changed, not only for her, but also for him, who has become quite handsome.

Just when you thought this was a story about a vampire repaying his favor, Baron Edward also began to explain, but from a completely different perspective: "How old was I at the time, four years old! It was the age when I longed for legendary heroes. Suddenly there was a group of people nearby.

A vicious bad guy broke into the house of the widowed eldest sister next door and hurt people. What can I do? My father went out hunting and my mother gathered herbs. This eldest sister usually takes care of me! I - I can only stand up and fight.

I came out and shouted "Sister, let go!" I didn't have time to understand what they were saying about vampires and evil, so I could only continue to shout, "Sister, you have always taken care of me and you are a good person!"

It seems that this guy has been brave enough since he was a child...no, reckless enough.

"Later I found out what a vampire was, but she could only suck my blood to stay alive. Could I say 'no'? My parents were trembling and didn't dare to disobey. They just wanted not to irritate the monster and live a peaceful life as usual."

, so everything remained normal. My parents died early, and I was only seven or eight years old and unable to stand on my own, so I naturally lived with her. I gave her food, and she also raised me. I am afraid this is how lonely people depend on each other."

"There is no girl of similar age in the village, and she is like a sister and a mother. We have been together day and night for a long time - well, it is my fault that I was young and hot-headed and couldn't control it and crossed the line. I can't be irresponsible, right? Later, things gradually gradually

It evolved into marriage.”

In other words, Mrs. Edward had no intention of falling in love and getting married. At first, she only took care of the neighbor's children to hide her traces. Later, she was grateful for the life-saving grace and just obeyed even if she was pushed down. Edward, on the other hand, did it unintentionally and did it in a fit of passion at a young age.

Wrong. Later I felt guilty and had to take responsibility.

Annette frowned and tilted her head: "In that case, wouldn't it be a good idea to make things right again? She's willing to forgive you for being careless for a while, so what's the problem?"

Edward waved his hand: "I'm not happy! My godmother...my wife is very strict and has never given me a chance to hug anyone else. I also think it's a bad idea and I haven't tried it. I only found out recently! What it feels like between a vampire and a human."

It's completely different! It's cold and hard. I thought it was the same all over the world and it was common sense. Every wife is like this! Let me ask you the other way around - if the black bread you have eaten for more than ten years is bitter and hard,

After suddenly tasting cream cake ice cream, can you still go back and eat brown bread?"

Well,

Several women suddenly looked at you, but you remained silent.

You really want to say yes, but it's too much against your will... If there is such a big gap, the Baron is really pitiful. Although the vampire looks young, beautiful, elegant and attractive, his appearance and appearance are often two different things - Square

The beautiful stone carvings above are quite beautiful.

Annette was inconvenient to ask about the couple's private affairs and disharmony. Instead, Mrs. Edward burst into tears and begged for justice: "You can't blame me... I am an inanimate thing. The race is born to hate the beauty of living things. I have lived countless times."

After a hundred years, even my soul has dried up and I can't pursue any romance. How do you expect me to serve a young human race guy who is in his prime and full of energy? I have already worked hard to cater to him..."

How on earth a hundreds-year-old female corpse has to "work hard" is quite pitiful.

"He always blames me for being unable to have children. What can I do? The kingdom's law is monogamy, and only great nobles have privileges. In order to allow him to take concubines, I also deliberately helped him to be promoted to the position of baron. I love him deeply.

It can’t be my fault, right?”

Help him rise to the nobility? What's going on?
