Not a single person could be seen in the auditorium, only the quiet moonlight fell from above, illuminating the fine dust in the air.

Rufus's eyes turned downward slightly, and he saw a series of intermittent drops of blood.

He walked forward following the blood stain. The sword in his hand was more like a civilized stick than a weapon, hitting the ground every now and then.

After advancing about seven or eight meters, I found the end of the bloodstain under a support pillar. Not only was the area larger, but there was also a slight smell of potion left.

They should have treated the injuries here.

Although it was not his intention, Kaya's sword wound was not just a flesh wound. He knew clearly that mages might be good at controlling negative energy, but they were not good at healing, which was the profession of a priest.

It's just emergency treatment. It's impossible to run very far or very fast dragging a wounded person who can't move quickly.

Of course, it is also possible to abandon your companions and escape on your own, but the probability is very low.

In addition to the moral constraints of adventurers, any companion who can cooperate with him tacitly must have been with him for a long time.

As the saying goes, mortals have mortal greatness, and mortals also have mortal fragility. No matter how decisive an adventurer is, he will hesitate to abandon his companions.

Hiding, is it another sneak attack?

Although if you think about it from his perspective, he could probably do something similar in this situation, he still feels slightly disappointed.

Closing the eyelids, human vision is turned off, and the special perception of the undead begins to take effect.

In his eyes, the world turned into a strange shape composed of lines of different colors. The cold dead objects such as the ceiling and floor were in dim cold colors, while the living objects were in eye-catching warm colors.

Rufus could clearly 'see' that there was a person hidden behind the curtain on one side of the auditorium. His breathing was rapid and his heartbeat was very high. If he was not nervous and picking his feet, he was injured and in a weak state.

This is the red-haired swordsman named Kaya.

He immediately made a judgment in his mind, but strangely, Rufus' undead perception did not find another living person except her.

Did he really escape alone?

In fact, it doesn't matter if he lets go, but if he really escapes alone, Rufus will feel a little regretful, regretting that there is something wrong with his vision and he has seen the wrong person.

So he tapped the floor with the sword in his hand and said loudly:

"This cat and mouse game is almost over."

"Then how about you just go back home?"

Pei Renli's voice echoed in the air, but the voice seemed to come from all directions, and it was impossible to determine the exact location.

Phantom Sound, a type of illusion, can hide the location of the sound source.

But after all, it is only the lowest level spell. When you can hear the sound of phantom sound, the caster must be nearby.

Sure enough, he didn't escape!

Then why can't I lock the position?

Rufus quickly searched in his mind, and he remembered that when he was in school here, his mage friend once told him about an unorthodox spell called the Veil of the Dead.

This necromancy spell can make undead creatures turn a blind eye to living people. It is very useful when passing through huge groups of undead creatures. However, it has only this purpose, and it is difficult to learn, so it is an off-the-beaten-path spell.

With the Veil of the Dead, Rufus really couldn't pinpoint Perenli's location, but after he figured this out, he couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead.

This guy’s studies are too complex. What are the teachers at school doing?

Mages generally only study a few schools of thought, or even specialize in only one school of thought, especially low-level mages. In order to improve their combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, they don't have much time to waste.

But as of now, Pei Renli not only has powers, conjurations, protection, illusions, but also learned necromancy.

A generalist mage is indeed awesome, but if he is not good at it, he may turn into a bastard who is not good at everything. This should be something that teachers in schools should remind students of.

Rufus would never have imagined that the Adventurer School in Naspar now was completely different from when he went to school. There was no longer even a magic class...

But this is not too important, and it can be corrected immediately.

Rufus ignored Perenli's angry tone:

"The girl's injuries are very serious. If not treated as soon as possible, it will lead to disability or even life-threatening. I repeat, as long as you surrender, there will not be any life threats."

"Your words don't have any guarantee."

"No, of course."

Rufus looked around with vigilant eyes, and still said:

"We are here to find something hidden around the school. It is the demon king's legacy."

"Demon King?"

After hearing this, Pei Renli's voice paused slightly:

"The tyrannical demon king has no legacy."

No one is more qualified to say this than him. The only thing left to Perenli by the tyrannical Demon King is the Demon King's Castle, which is actually a cave that will end 10 meters into it, as well as Ravna as his assistant and a magical creature called Puni.

.

If he really had any inheritance, Pei Renli would not be so poor that he only had a dozen copper coins in his pocket when he entered school.

"It's not the tyrannical demon king, it's an existence older than him."

"Then go and find me. Why are you coming to school?"

Rufas explained:

"This legacy is hidden. It is not easy to find its exact location. Moreover, there are some conditions for obtaining the power of the Demon King. It requires sacrifices."

"Are we...just sacrifices?"

No wonder the magic barrier was used to control everyone first. In addition to preventing students from causing trouble, it was also used as a power bank.

"Yes, but not all. The Demon King's legacy requires people with certain abilities as sacrifices. The stronger the better, according to our speculation, about a dozen students are enough. You and your companions will definitely not be sacrificed.

Among the ranks of high-end brands, you can rest assured of this.”

"Your words make me feel completely uneasy."

"I am not a fool who is desperate for power. I need the power of the Demon King for the sake of the group of adventurers."

Speaking of this, Rufus's tone increased slightly, as if he was a little excited:

"Adventurers used to be the envy of everyone, but now very few people care about them. Why?"

He asked and answered himself:

"Because the Demon King disappeared and did not appear again, the golden age of adventurers is gone forever."

"So? You want to become the new Demon King?"

Saying that he wants to become the Demon King in front of the orthodox new Demon King Pei Renli is a bit unnecessary.

Rufus did not hear the weirdness in Perenli's words and continued:

"Yes, once the new Demon King is born, the golden age of adventurers will come again."

At present, many people are trying to call themselves devil kings, but they have failed.

There are two main reasons. One is that he does not have the power of the Demon King, and the other is that he does not have the reputation of the Demon King.

If Rufus seizes the legacy left by the ancient demon king, he will have a foundation to gain a foothold, and he can also gain considerable fame by using students from the Adventurer School as sacrifices.

The Adventurer School in Naspar has indeed declined, but it used to be very famous, and doing things here would bring its own traffic.

"Adventurers crave the Demon King, and the Demon King also needs excellent adventurers. Excellent young people like you will lead to the next golden age, so you don't have to worry about me going back on my word."

"Sounds like the barking of an idiot who calls himself a martyr."

After becoming an undead creature, even if someone pointed at his nose and scolded him, Rufus still couldn't feel the slightest wave of emotion in his heart. He still said calmly:

"You have never experienced that era, and you don't know how many people were injured because of the end of the golden age. I have personally seen many adventurers who were forced to change careers. The arms that originally wielded swords had to start wielding hoes. Some were completely unable to change careers.

Adventurers have to risk their lives just to pursue the rewards that make life difficult, and eventually die in a foreign country. I have seen too many, and I am the same."

Silence suddenly enveloped the auditorium, until more than ten seconds later, Pei Renli's voice sounded again from all directions:

"I really haven't experienced that era. Maybe your move is right."

He then changed the subject:

"You can do whatever you like, but you should not impose your will and ideals on others."

Pei Renli is essentially a person who enjoys life and enjoys life. He has no grand ambitions or lofty ideals. He just wants to live his life happily.

But what about reality?

He suddenly traveled through time without warning, and was thrown into the Demon King's Arena. After it was over, he realized that the matter was not over, and the threat to his life was always hanging over his head. For this reason, he had to be exhausted all day long and not dare to relax at all.

You all choose your own path, Pei Renli admits this.

If someone asked him, "Hey, buddy, do you want to travel through time and become the devil? The only drawback is that your life may be in danger."

If Pei Renli agrees, then the current situation is his own fault and he cannot blame anyone else.

Has anyone asked him what he thinks?

No.

He felt that all this was arranged, as if a pair of invisible hands were controlling everything. He didn't know what the purpose was, but this feeling of being controlled was obviously uncomfortable.

This is so similar to the situation in front of me. They are all wills imposed by a certain being's wishful thinking and the so-called righteousness.

"Your ideas are very naive. There is no freedom in the world."

"The freedom I pursue must not affect the freedom of others. It is obviously different from your so-called ideal."

As the saying goes, people with different opinions should not work together. Pei Renli's character is one that never looks back. He is the kind of person who can't persuade anyone to do anything. Even if he agrees on the surface, he will continue to follow his own ideas in private.

Dry.

So it will appear that Pei Renli is quite stubborn.

"What you said means that you have understood my intention. Now you should understand that it would be a wise choice for you to surrender."

"Just because I understand, doesn't that mean I agree? Are you asking me to bow to such an unreasonable and unfree fate?"

His voice was low and serious:
Chapter completed!
