Chapter 18 A brief pause

In the courtyard behind the teaching building on the east side of the school.

Since most departments have already moved to the new campus, and several days have passed since the winter vacation, the empty school looks desolate. The walls of the old teaching building have cracked, and the visible plaster shows the years.

With so many scars, most of the classroom windows only have the window frame standing alone in the window hole, along with some fragments of glass.

The evergreen trees in the courtyard looked green. Zheng Cheng, his roommate and Mo Jiana stood in front of an ancient cedar in the courtyard. The dead leaves sprinkled by the deciduous shrubs on the ground could almost cover their high waists.

shoe.

"I believe you all understand the importance of defense against witchcraft. It can effectively resist the invasion of ritual witchcraft. Of course, ritual witchcraft also has its own weaknesses." Morgana said, holding a book in her hand.

The seemingly ancient book wrapped in kraft paper has turned yellow and the pages are very worn.

"Such a terrible witchcraft also has a weakness, what weakness?" Lu Shi asked, eager to know the answer.

"No matter how powerful the witchcraft is, it has its weaknesses. Some witchcraft can cause fatal harm to the wizard. The weakness of ritual witchcraft is that it is a sacrificial witchcraft. First of all, it requires a living person to sacrifice, which means casting a spell.

The caster must torture a living person to death, and secondly, the caster himself must also be tortured and punished by his soul. This is an equivalent condition, because this torture is no less than the test of death." Morgana explained in detail.

"Wouldn't that hunter also have to suffer torture? And from what you said, the torture of the soul seems to be very painful." Xiong Da said. It's no wonder that the hunter controlled him and Lu Shi so easily. It turns out that the hunter himself also has to suffer the torture of the soul.

torment.

"That's the key, because it's like a soul contract, except that you are making a deal with the void. The void can punish you without hesitation. Of course, he will also satisfy your needs in ritual witchcraft." Morgana

explain.

"Then Ajer didn't show any feeling of being tortured or injured in front of us. He looked as if nothing happened." Zheng Cheng is now very sensitive to the word "transaction", he said.

"This is the terrifying thing about Ajer. He is the most terrifying hunter in this era. However, I judge that it is impossible for him to use ritual witchcraft in a short time, because no matter how powerful the wizard is, he will not go there from time to time.

Using this kind of witchcraft, which is expressly prohibited in the highest order, will weaken his life. Even for an immortal wizard, this kind of soul torture is unimaginable." Morgana said.

"I heard from the guide that he was cursed by Sargon and that his soul was tortured. Is there any similarity between the curse and ritual witchcraft?" Zheng Cheng suddenly thought of what the guide had said to him, so he asked

Morgana.

"No, in fact, curse is a more terrifying witchcraft, and this witchcraft can torture a person's soul without any conditions, making him miserable, and there are only two people on earth who can do this." Mo.

What Jiana said was extremely mysterious.

"Which two?" Zheng Cheng and his roommate asked in unison.

"Sargon and Madame Amelie," said Morgana.

"What?!" Zheng Cheng opened his mouth in surprise, but then he felt that this made sense. Sargon is the supreme leader of the Yuan Realm, representing the highest power of the Yuan Realm, and Mrs. Emery is the last one in the Dark Realm.

The prophet was still alive, and Zheng Cheng suddenly felt that the relationship between the two was not simple.

"Zheng Cheng, do you know why Sargon can't come to the realm? Because of Mrs. Amélie's curse witchcraft, Mrs. Amélie cast the ultimate curse before fleeing. She cursed Sargon to never set foot in the realm.

Any corner. The price of casting this witchcraft is that although she can stay in the realm forever, she will age day by day, until she is old and completely naked, she will still be alive." Mojana looked at Zheng Cheng.

said.

"This~" Zheng Cheng understands that such suffering is not something ordinary people can experience, but if it were him, he would rather sleep happily underground.

"No matter what, you must learn to defend against witchcraft. This is the key to getting rid of Ajer's shackles. For this reason, I brought you this." Morgana raised the book in her hand and shook it.

"'Homer', Morgana, why do you want us to read such ancient Greek mythology?" Cui Xiao took the book and asked, brushing off the dust that was about to solidify on the cover.

"Fool, don't think you are a wizard." Morgana shook her head helplessly and said.

"So what? It's a fairy tale book. It tells stories about ancient Greek heroes fighting monsters. How can we learn defensive witchcraft from it?" Cui Xiao asked curiously. He kept turning the pages of the book.

But I couldn't find any information about witchcraft.

"Open it with the power of the void." It seems that Zheng Cheng's understanding of witchcraft is really improving. He understood the meaning of Mo Jiaina's words and said to Cui Xiao.

"It's getting late. I have to go back and take care of Mrs. Emery. I only have this one on hand. Can you try to read the photocopied version? Anyway, I haven't tried it. You must know that books about witchcraft are really good.

Master, we are all self-taught." Morgana blinked her smart eyes and said, and then she disappeared.

""Homer's Epic"? Are you sure you want to copy this book?" In the copy shop, the boss looked at this antique-level book curiously and asked.

"Yes, I want three copies, let's count four, five? In short, the more the better." Zheng Cheng suddenly felt that the math teacher was going to beat him, but Cui Xiao was the only one next to him in the printing shop, while Xiong Da and Lu Shi were

I don’t know what I’m doing outside the store.

"How many do you want?" the boss asked impatiently.

"Bang!" A loud noise came from the door, scaring everyone in the store to rush out.

A camphor tree beside the road fell down in front of Xiong Da and Lu Shi, its branches almost touching their bristled hairs on the dry road. The dust raised spread towards Zheng Cheng and the others.

"Ahem, what's going on?" the store owner ran over excitedly and asked.

"I, I, I just wanted to try out the details of the witchcraft formation that Morgana mentioned, but I didn't expect that the tree was twisted." Xiong Da hesitated to Zheng Cheng and couldn't explain clearly.

"What the hell is going on?" the boss asked, covering his mouth with one hand and brushing the dirty dust around him with the other.

...

"Try to solidify the surrounding air, and then create a transparent wall, but do not apply any gravity to it, and let the wall float in the air," Cui Xiao read the words on the copy.

Even if you make a photocopy and use magic power, you can still reveal the handwriting that truly introduces witchcraft.

"Zheng Cheng, don't you want to read it? If you don't want to read it, give me the original version. The copy looks uncomfortable." Lu Shi turned around and said.

"I,,, let me take a look." Zheng Cheng rubbed his neck that had not moved for a long time and opened the dusty book cover. A cloud of dust particles immediately appeared in the air. It seemed that the book had not been moved for a long time.

People have touched it, and some pages are stuck together and cannot be torn apart. It seems that someone has specially left fingerprints on some pages. The yellowed pages seem to be unpalatable for people to read.

Zheng Cheng closed his eyes, and then he reflected the book deeply in his mind. At the same time, he took away a little power from the void because he wanted to use that power to open the book.

When Zheng Cheng opened his eyes again, the book had completely changed, as if it had been completely renovated. The soft parchment paper was very comfortable to hold in his hands, and the thick book case was covered with a layer of gold foil.

handwriting.

"Guidelines for defense against witchcraft." Zheng Cheng read the words above and turned to the first page. There was an extra line of words on the blank page, and then the writing began to spread gradually until the entire page was full and no one could find it.

During the gap, Zheng Cheng was surprised that the person who wrote this book didn't leave his name. Does this book have no author? Zheng Cheng was too lazy to continue reading.

"Hey, Zheng Cheng, wake up." In the haze, Zheng Cheng felt someone shaking his shoulders. He reluctantly opened his eyes, and Morgana's pink lips appeared in his sight, as well as her in the dark night.

The long brown hair is particularly conspicuous.

"Huh? It's so late? Aren't you going to sleep?" Zheng Cheng raised his head in confusion. The roommates' lights were still on, but several of them were already lying on the table, unconscious.

"Shh, if something happens, let's go out and talk." Morgana opened the door carefully, and Zheng Cheng followed her out. Before going out, he looked at the clock and saw that it was already half past two in the morning.

"As for that, am I right?" Zheng Cheng followed Morgana with half-open eyes. There was no one on the street, and the sound of car horns seemed to be coming from a few streets away. Everyone seemed sleepy.

Morgana stretched out her hand towards the street lamp nearest to her. The originally dim light suddenly became extremely bright. The hot white light hit Zheng Cheng's face, as if he was suddenly illuminated by a stage light with a huge light source.

, and the surroundings are still dim.

"Are you awake?" Morgana turned around and said while holding the lamp.

"Okay, okay, put out the damn lights. I'm more awake than if I'd taken stimulants. What's going on?" Zheng Cheng covered his face and said in pain.

"Do you think it's normal that Ajer hasn't come here these two days? Don't let your guard down, because I think he has a bigger conspiracy." Morgana said after turning off the dazzling lights.

"Then what should we do? We will go home tomorrow night. What can he do to us?" Zheng Cheng shrugged.

"That's more dangerous, because we are separated and he can defeat each other one by one. In that case, we will lose miserably." Mo Jiaina approached Zheng Cheng and said.

"Then what are your plans?" Zheng Cheng said, staring at Morgana's purple leather jacket.

"Remember what I told you, we have to try to read the enemy's thoughts and then make a judgment. Next,,," Morgana stopped talking.

"Tell me what to do next." Zheng Cheng was dissatisfied with Mo JiaNa showing off to him in the middle of the cold road.

"Your Chinese art of war should be about taking advantage of the situation." Morgana said close to Zheng Cheng's ear. The tangy fragrance made Zheng Cheng very excited. Zheng Cheng couldn't help but take a few more glances at Morgana's sexy curves.

"Speaking of specific." Zheng Cheng whispered.

""

"No, what should we do in this way? Absolutely not!" Zheng Cheng said firmly.

"You must do this, and you should know that Ajell's most terrible weapon is his holy light. If he loses the cross, he is no different from the ordinary wizard." Moja said.

"Is that weapon everything about him?" Zheng Cheng asked.

"He seal most of his witch power in the cross, but once he loses his weapon, his witchcraft power will be greatly weakened. At that time, it was the best opportunity for us to defeat him." Mojana said

Then, then

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Zheng Cheng asked.
