It's Monday, it's the end of the month, I need a ticket first
I'm almost finished... Why does time always go against me... I hate it.
——
Distorted sound.
Is it a spell?
Like water bubbles in a deep pool being dug out of the surface of memory for a long time, the sense of time has been confused. The soul and body are divided into two parts. It is a gray and hazy place, and all kinds of weird images are like a revolving door.
My eyes were spinning and I couldn't see anything clearly.
...It seems like a few seconds, but it also seems like dozens, hundreds, or thousands of years.
However, Edward finally woke up from the feeling of being able to run, and the barrier of will that was tempered by pain finally withstood the biggest test so far.
He shook his head slightly, gradually washing away the confusion and absurdity brought about by the sense of time. Then he slowly brought the palms behind his back together, wrapping the layer of flame in them.
As a result, the silver magic bead disappeared from his hand!
"...Interesting, interesting...little guy. Although he is weak, he seems to have some future."
The subtle noises regrouped due to the passage of time, becoming old and grand voices, chaotic colors, condensation, distortion, and also overflowing with time, turning into a space rendered by darkness, flames, and skylight at the same time.
And time didn't seem to pass too long.
The Master was still standing in the still flames and dust, and had just finished his sentence.
"However, since you have the guts to break in here, you must have realized something."
"What do you want to do?" Edward asked.
The energy of the soul is slowly swelling, controlling every inch of space around the body. Every bit of matter supports one's spirit and suppresses the magic flowing in the body. Then it extends backward quietly, silently.
, pulling the remaining seven items away from their original positions.
Just like he had done a moment ago.
"Unfortunately, the only price that can be charged here is your death." The master raised his hand, without any movements or gestures, and without complicated incantations. However,
The eight items placed here are undoubtedly extremely powerful magic items, but now it seems that a staff has permanently lost its power... The metal inserted into the ground by invisible force is almost attracted
All the electric energy was consumed. The originally gorgeous color turned into gray black in the violent thunder light, and cracks gradually became dense on the smooth surface. Finally, with a crisp bang, the explosion turned into a large spot of light!
This weapon is finished. Its foundation has been destroyed by the frenzied energy. The exquisite etching accurately focuses on the power that went into it. It took hundreds of years and dozens or even hundreds of masters, enemies, and victims to forge it.
The reputation he had built was completely destroyed and exhausted at this moment, and became nothingness.
"Asshole!"
The master cursed bitterly.
The rainbow light magic wall blocked the flames and bursting magma, but could not block the scorching temperature. The fire light flashed, and his messy beard immediately turned yellow and curled, making his expression even more ferocious!
But there was no trace of madness in his eyes, which were cold and deep, like a deep pool.
Incredible power.
Okay! Okay!" The master said two good words in a row, and there was a faint flash of thunder in his eyes: "I'll let you see the true strength of Tianting Tower!"
The sonorous and powerful syllables spit out from the mage's mouth, like metal collision, thunder and lightning. The sound waves even made other mages around him have to cover their ears or cast protective spells to resist the unbearable sound. (_)
"I don't want to see anything..." Edward's answer was calm, even a little weak, but it ignored any thunder and directly touched everyone's heart.
Of course, this time is not suitable for admiration... Observing, decomposing, and then disturbing is no longer something he can do. Therefore, at this critical moment, he seems to have become a spectator, and can only watch 'himself'
He muttered a series of detailed incantations, smashing and disrupting several newly brewing magical abilities around the opponent, turning them into violent winds!
The thick wall slid inward with a tooth-gripping sound, and dust flew...
But the increasingly intense and pervasive heat methodically baked them until the poor magical protection was exhausted.
Several mages panicked and wanted to activate more protective spells, but as soon as the spell was spoken, the heat poured into the air made every breath they took feel like they were swallowing fire. Halfway through the spell, their lips had already stuck together...
...The seemingly endless heating reached the end, and several bright spots like stars appeared in the black and gray clouds.
The surroundings finally began to cool down a little, and the temperature continued to drop, because the black and gray smoke clouds had rolled up, forming a huge fuzzy shape that almost reached the top of the temple - those black clouds scattered in the outer layer were countless extremely fine particles.
Constantly switching between disappearing and condensing, and in the depths of the black clouds are countless thicker and darker storms, which are only restrained by some force and cannot erupt into a mess.
The situation changes.
A bolt of thunder that penetrated the sky and the earth. The thunder falling from the void hit the spire of the construction tower. The entire construction tower seemed to melt and erupted into a strong light. Huge electric light shot straight down the tower.
, in an instant the sky was a hundred times brighter than at noon! The mages screamed and fell, and the wind elements they used to maintain the levitation technique all disappeared at this moment - it was not that they were eliminated, but there were no more here.
The elemental power that can sustain their existence.
The surrounding air flow swirled wildly. A sudden storm formed around the construction tower and instantly swept the gray-robed shadow into the stormy waves in the sky.
…
The terrible vibration spread almost throughout the city, waking up countless people from their comfortable sleep. Amid their surprised complaints, the vibrations and muffled sounds continued continuously...
The sound may be dismissed as thunder. But the shaking of the ground does not make people feel at ease. More and more people open the window lattice, walk out of the door, and then raise their heads in the direction of the thunder. ← The morning light
The center is coated with a layer of blue-purple red and towers into the sky - this is actually the first time for many people to see this building that has been rumored to have been stored in Illyria for nearly a thousand years.
It's not just that.
The legendary tower was shining with a strange light in their eyes.
The originally clear and transparent sky was actually covered with thunderclouds. White electric fires snaked in the rolling air masses and storms, causing bursts of deafening thunder during the impact. The balance of elements in the main material world has been extremely distorted.
, the sky, matter, air and even the human body, all the existences wrapped in it are assimilated by the power of thunder and lightning. The bitter aftertaste in the air twitches everyone's stomach and intestines, illuminating their faces distorted by fear.
.
The sound of the horses' hooves was like a storm passing behind them, and the roaring sound of the horses' hooves gradually faded away amidst the furious neighing of the horses. It actually only took ten minutes to go from galloping in the distance to suddenly stopping.
A few breaths of time.
The visitors were obviously a group of well-trained knights, perhaps not many in number, only a dozen or so knights, but the dark armor on their bodies reflected the sunlight, flashing with little black lights... while the knights who sat down were all white.
"Stop!"
Several people near the gatehouse gathered around and each put their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists: "Who are you? This is the residence of Lord Stone, you dare to break in..."
However, this opening statement soon got stuck in the middle,
The restless crowd suddenly fell silent.
As aristocratic private soldiers, especially those employed by some nobles with deep connections, they are naturally the best among them, and they also know who and where to show their stupidity and arrogance.
"Excuse me...what are you doing for me?"
"We have been ordered to see the owner of this place. You should report it immediately."
"But our master is not at the mansion..."
"What I want to see is the people who live here now! The half-elf lady and her subordinates!"
"This... I'm sorry, we can't accept your order."
"What did you say?"
"We are also acting under orders, so please forgive me for obeying orders. If we lose people like this, we will lose our jobs and the fate of our whole family..." A private soldier lowered his voice slightly and tried to get close to him in a somewhat embarrassed tone.
.Let the scene relax a little. However, this greeting froze in the middle before it was finished, turning into a strange gurgling sound.
His eyes widened in horror, and he wanted to lower his head, but he couldn't do it anymore - a broad knight's sword pierced his throat, blocking his words. It also completely fixed the muscles and bones there.
live.
"I'm not negotiating with you, soldier." The knight's face was shrouded in shadow by his helmet, and only his voice sounded cold, "His Majesty the King's will. Anyone who disobeys will die!"
"You...how dare you..."
This change was really too fast... No one saw when the knight drew out his sword... His companion, who had lost his life in an instant, fell to the dust with a plop, blood spurting out wildly. The private soldiers suddenly became confused.
But when the opponent's horses moved forward, making a neat and dull sound, almost a sound of hoofbeats, the little fighting spirit they had just gathered disappeared.
The opponent does have the power of life and death, because although they have just been established, they are superior to most teams, even the nobles. It is said that they are selected from Jin Jinhua's guard knights, and each one has at least a high-level
There are many knights and even sergeants and barons. The death of a civilian may mean trouble for them, but it is by no means a big trouble.
Especially when there is the so-called "righteousness and honor" as the premise.
So, after looking at each other for an hourglass, they finally had no choice but to succumb to the pressure - after all, when they were assigned to this place, the instructions given by their superiors were to act cheaply and follow the guests' arrangements.
"What's the matter?"
"Hello, Miss Lisa Lenobili."
The team of Thunder Knights seemed to have increased again. At this time, there were already fifty in number. They slowly separated from the formation and made way for one person and one knight behind. The only person without armor took off the hood on his head.
hat, nodding.
A delicate and beautiful face. However, the skin has a transparent color like ice crystals, and there is no trace of blood in the morning sun. It is so cold that people can't help but feel a bit like ice.
"It turns out it's you...then, what's the matter?"
The half-elf yawned a little and clapped her mouth cutely. In the mid-summer weather, even in the early morning, there was a warm breeze, so the lady who was woken up in a hurry was still wearing a nightgown.
, just put on a cloak hastily outside, but the female knight beside her is already fully armed, with a slightly shiny hand-and-half sword behind her.
"Recently, in order to crack down on some young people, Illyria's security guards have made some adjustments, which has also given some dangerous elements on the streets an opportunity to take advantage. Therefore, for the safety of you, Count Tiberius has specially arranged a new arrangement for you.
Master Edward has already arrived at Count Tiberius’s residence as a guest of the wealthy businessman, so let’s invite Miss Lisa and this lady to go with us.”
The woman on the horse seemed to have no intention of exchanging pleasantries and directly stated her purpose.
So, she got a direct rejection.
"What? Where to go? Where did your pretty boy arrange it? Not interested!"
The half-elf folded his eyes, then curled his lips and said: "The first time I stayed at the place you arranged, but a group of people came to stir up trouble. Now the place we live in is quite comfortable, quiet, and there are shops around.
You suddenly want to move away? Edward said that? If he said that, why didn't he come? At least he should have left an image crystal."
"Because Sir Edward has something very important to do, about a magic item that he needs to obtain... He can't spare much energy to deal with such a small matter at the moment."
"I remember that you seemed to be called...Anna Sui, right? I remember that you seemed to be very good at arranging trivial matters. With you around, I hardly used anything, so I also thought about whether I should give you to me when I go back.
Take it back..." Still a little bored, she shook her head: "Now you suddenly ask me to go with you, and you bring so many people with you, and you are so aggressive. Why do you make me feel that you want to hold me hostage?
To threaten Edward?"
"This...how is this possible?"
Anna Sui couldn't help but suffocated, the corners of her pale mouth drooped slightly, looking even more indifferent.
In her impression, this half-elf girl was just a person who wanted to play around and was not very subtle. She thought that a lie would at least make the other party suspicious. However, she did not expect that she would be so direct and point out the key point like this -
- Generally speaking, even if you think of something, you should consider the reasons for the arrival of the knights around you, and choose a smarter way to avoid it. What this little girl said now is tantamount to making it clear, 'Either keep me here, or you
Use some coercive measures.'
It is not impossible to use coercion. Although the young woman on the other side who has been silent is said to have the ability of a genuine great knight, the dozens of thunder knights behind him have also been strengthened by Iskandar's divine power.
, the ability will never be inferior to that of the Great Knight, but at this time, arresting people will inevitably cause some unnecessary chaos in the city, and may make things that happen later troublesome.
But if this girl is not caught, that monster-like guy will only go out of control... He cunningly left a flaw in the initial contract and handed over the source of power representing Fei Yan to himself.
With his hand, he has completed the contract
But in this way, the remaining three... No, there are only two sources of power now, so there is no way to guarantee their actual flow, especially the owner of this residence. If the guess is not wrong, then
It must have been owned by a political enemy of Tiberius!
So she sighed.
"Please forgive me, Miss Lisa, in order not to disappoint...the Master, I can only use some drastic measures." (To be continued...
