Bone-chilling frost and raging flames — these two completely different auras filled the entire bell tower ruins. When they clashed, even the air crackled. At this moment, all the mages could not help but widen their eyes. They knew that they were going to be witnesses to the history of magic. They were going to witness the birth of a brand new spell with their own eyes!
This was a spell that had never been seen before. Anyone who had a slight understanding of magic would know that there had never been a spell that could fuse the two magical elements of frost and fire since the prehistoric times. Not even the most basic theory had been mentioned. This was like a real castle in the sky — it had been built suddenly without a foundation …
Only real mages could understand such a shock. For example, Rina from the Brilliance Shrine. Although she could instinctively tell that this spell was powerful, she did not know what it meant at all …
This meant that the entire history of magic would be rewritten tonight. A brand new way of casting spells would be born tonight. If this spell were to spread, even the most basic theory would cause a stir in Anril. All the mages would go crazy over it, including the living legend Apophis, a peerless powerhouse who had already stepped into the Sanctuary-realm!
The incantation for the Frostfire Storm was very long, and the recitation time was even longer than that of many Legendary-level spells. However, none of the mages present cared about this. To them, this incantation itself was an invaluable treasure. Through this incantation, they felt as if they had touched an invisible door, and on the other side of the door was a magical world that they had never thought of before.
All the mages were immersed in this incantation. At this moment, Lin Li's slightly hoarse voice seemed to have become the most beautiful music in the world.
When the last rune was shouted out, the sky above Black Clouds Town seemed to have suddenly lit up.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor was there a scene of flames soaring into the sky. There was only a brilliant light that illuminated the night sky of Black Clouds Town as if it was daytime.
Then, everything suddenly quietened down …
The Crimson Python's body was still tied in a Dead Knot, and it was tightly wrapped around the base of the Fine Iron. However, that thick and long snake tail had stopped moving, and was hanging limply on the ground. Putrid blood flowed all over the ground, and dyed the ground red. That hideous head had disappeared, and only a pool of blood was left, as well as a sparkling magical crystal in the middle of the pool of blood …
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed that one of the strongest magical beasts in the Blackstone Mountains, the Crimson Python that probably had Legendary-level powers, had died just like that in a remote town in Doland. The population of this town did not add up to more than a thousand people, and if it had been any other time, the Crimson Python would have killed them all in less than half a day …
Lin Li held onto the Aether Staff with both hands, and bent down with great difficulty to pick up the Crimson Python's magical crystal from the pool of blood. After that, he took two steps back, and wanted to lean against a pillar that had yet to fall. However, just as he let go of the Aether Staff, he staggered and almost fell on the ground. When he finally regained his balance, Lin Li panted heavily, and his pale face was full of weakness and haggardness.
The battle tonight had drained all of Lin Li's energy. Forcefully distorting his mental strength to push the Levitation Spell to level-20 could only be described as crazy, and then forcefully casting the Frostfire Storm without caring about his body's weakness. Lin Li could no longer hold on after the Crimson Python died. He leaned against the pillar behind him, and panted heavily. He did not even have the strength to move a finger.
Norfeller held the two Heaven's Wrath Daggers in both hands, and silently retreated to Lin Li's side. Ujfalusi also walked over from afar, and the Skeletal Staff in his hand was emitting a thick death aura. This death aura that symbolized evil made Rina tighten her grip on her sword, and the unicorn beneath her let out a long, hostile neigh. Unicorns were symbols of light and holiness, not to mention one that had been baptized by the Fire of Judgment. If not for the fact that Rina did not move an inch, it would have already charged towards the two evil Undead creatures …
The long, hostile neigh of the unicorn made Ujfalusi pause in his steps. Then, as if nothing had happened, he walked past the Paladin, and bent down in front of Lin Li. He asked in a respectful and humble tone, "Master, are you alright?"
This sentence was like a bomb to Rina's ears. How could this be? This Necromancer, who was at least level-18, was just a servant? At that moment, Rina only felt that this Felic was extremely mysterious. The genius pharmacist that was highly regarded by her teacher, the youngest President of the Guild of Magic, and the master of a Necromancer that was at least level-18 … How many more secrets did this Felic have?
Lin Li had no idea what Rina was thinking about. He only knew that he was very, very tired. If he could, he really wanted to find a place and have a good sleep. Unfortunately, he could only think about it. After the death of the Crimson Giant Python, peace returned to the street that had been completely destroyed. The residents who had been hiding in their basements and shivering in fear finally realized something. At the start, only a few brave residents stuck their heads out of their doors, or looked in their direction, or walked out cautiously. Then, they cheered and spread the news of the Crimson Giant Python's death throughout Black Clouds Town …
"Everyone, come out! The monster is dead!"
"Look, that looks like Mage Felic!"
"So it's Mage Felic who saved us!"
In less than 10 minutes, a large group of people had gathered outside the abandoned clock tower. Their faces were filled with smiles of having survived a disaster. Under the illumination of the fire, their smiles were extraordinarily radiant. Among this group of people, the most eye-catching was Old Salatt. The old man held a hammer in his hand, and ran faster than a few young men.
"I knew it. Felic, you've saved us again …" Old Salatt's wrinkled face was filled with pride. He was the first person the young mage got to know when he came to Black Clouds Town, and he had always treated him as a close junior. Now that his junior had become the hero of Black Clouds Town, Old Salatt would definitely be proud of him.
"Uncle Salatt, you don't have to be so polite. It's not about saving or not, I just did what I should …"
Lin Li supported himself with the Aether Staff, and wanted to stand up, but was held down by Old Salatt. "Sit down and don't move. You've suffered such a serious injury, you need to rest well …"
"No, I can't rest …" Lin Li struggled for a while, and finally stood up. "There's something very important that I have to ask immediately, or else I'm afraid it'll be too late …"
"Felic, listen to me, sit down and rest. If there's anything, I'll help you ask. I'm here in Black Clouds Town, so my words have some weight. I'll definitely help you get to the bottom of this."
"Alright, Uncle Salatt, help me ask about the person who lured this Crimson Python here. This is very important. Crimson Pythons have always been male and female, and would never be separated for too long. Now that we've killed one, the other one should not be too far away from Black Clouds Town. We have to find it before it attacks Black Clouds Town …"
Lin Li could not help but feel a lingering fear as he spoke. Luckily, only one of the Crimson Pythons had come. If both of them had come, he would have died no matter how he tried to distort his mental strength, and with the help of Norfeller and Ujfalusi …
"Alright, I'll help you find out as soon as possible. Have a good rest." The old man patted Lin Li's shoulder lightly, and turned around to look at the panicking mayor. "Mayor Alexir, did you hear what Felic said? Shouldn't we send some militia to go door to door and ask them? "
"Erm …" The fence-sitting mayor's face turned pale when he heard Old Salatt's question. He stammered for a long time, but could not come up with an answer. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Old Salatt, I know what to do. You don't have to worry about it."
As soon as the mayor said that, Lin Li immediately guessed something. However, it was obviously not the right time to continue asking. Hence, after hesitating for a while, Lin Li decided to ignore the sullen Mayor Alexir, and gestured to Norfeller to help him back to the Tower of Dusk first.
"Erm … Mage Felic, I really have to thank you this time …" Seeing that Lin Li was about to leave, Alexir finally heaved a sigh of relief. He secretly wiped his cold sweat and thanked Lin Li profusely.
"It's nothing, Mayor Alexir …" Lin Li glanced at the fence-sitting mayor, and casually asked, "Oh, yes, Mayor Alexir, where's Granger? It's so crowded tonight, why didn't I see him? "
The Granger that Lin Li mentioned was the fence-sitting mayor's son. He was 27 or 28 years old, and it was said that he had learned martial arts from a powerful Warrior when he was young. Now, he was already a level-14 Warrior. He had been doing well outside for the past few years, and had just returned to Black Clouds Town a few days ago. Because of this, Alexir had been very happy these few days. Not only did he announce the news of his son's return to the town, he even told everyone about how capable and capable his son was. Even Lin Li had heard a lot about it in the Tower of Dusk …
"Why are you asking this?" Alexir's face froze, but he quickly reacted and forced a smile. "Granger is not feeling well, and the doctor prescribed him some medicine. He is still resting at home …"
"Is that so …" Lin Li smiled, and did not ask further. A level-14 Warrior was not feeling well, and the doctor prescribed him some medicine. What else was there to say? A level-14 Warrior's body was more than 10 times stronger than an ordinary person's. Ordinary diseases were not a threat to them at all.
Alexir was obviously lying, but Lin Li did not intend to expose him on the spot. He only nodded at him, and stood up with the help of the Aether Staff. After bidding farewell to a few familiar neighbors, he got someone to bring the Crimson Python's corpse back to the Tower of Dusk.
"Gavin, get someone to bring the Crimson Python's corpse to the basement and freeze it. After that, come back to the meeting room. I have something to tell you …" After instructing Gavin, Lin Li called Norfeller over. "Norfeller, go to Black Clouds Town immediately and help me keep an eye on Alexir's family, especially his level-14 Warrior son. Write down everything they say and do, and report to me when you return to the Tower of Dusk tomorrow morning."
"Yes, President Felic."
"Yes, Master."
After giving his instructions, Lin Li planned to return to his bedroom to rest. The battle last night was too tiring. Until now, he still felt weak in his limbs, and his head was aching. However, when he turned around, he realized that the young and beautiful Paladin had not left. She was standing beside the huge crystal ball, staring at him.
"Paladin Rina, is there anything else?"
"Why is there a Necromancer beside you?" Rina finally asked the question that had been bothering Xu Jiu since only the two of them were left in the huge guild hall. "Also, what is your relationship with this Necromancer? Why does he call you Master?"
"That's a long story …" Lin Li sighed, and his face was filled with sorrow …
At this time, if it were people like Gerian and Macklin who were familiar with Lin Li, they would definitely roll their eyes, turn around, and leave. Even an idiot would know that once this kid showed such an expression, it meant that he was about to spout nonsense. You'd better not believe a word of what he was going to say next, or even listen to it.
Unfortunately, Rena was neither Gerian nor Macklin. Not only did she listen, but she also listened very seriously …
"Actually, Ujfalusi has been a servant of our family for a long time, but he became like this after encountering a disaster. However, Paladin Rina, although Ujfalusi has become an Undead creature, he has never hurt any human. You've seen it for yourself just now, he has been guarding Black Clouds Town. If it weren't for him and Norfeller, Black Clouds Town would have been turned into ruins by now."
"But he is an Undead creature after all!"
"So what if he is an Undead creature? Although Ujfalusi is an Undead creature, in my opinion, he is more virtuous than many humans. He is loyal to me, his former master. When Black Clouds Town was attacked, he stood up for me. How can the words' Undead creature 'erase such a virtue? Miss Rina, I have to ask, is this the doctrine of the Brilliance Shrine? Is this the Holy Light that you believe in? This is so disappointing … "Lin Li got more agitated as he spoke. At the end of his sentence, he even snorted coldly and left, completely ignoring that Rina was still a guest of the Tower of Dusk.
Rina stood beside the crystal ball in a daze. There was still some panic on her pretty face. She had been baptized by the Fire of Judgment when she was born, and was taught that all Undead creatures should be destroyed. They were the source of all filth in this world, and only by burning them to ashes with the Holy Fire of Judgment could they be redeemed for their sins. In fact, Rina had always done that. Ever since she became a Judge Paladin, she had killed countless Undead creatures.
But today, a young mage whom even Mentor Englos respected had told her that Undead creatures had noble virtues too. They were loyal to their masters, and they would stand up for the innocent. Everything that happened in Black Clouds Town was still vivid in her mind. Her originally firm faith wavered a little at that moment.
Unfortunately, Rina, who was immersed in her thoughts, did not see the look of relief on the face of that righteous young mage after he turned around … Damn it, luckily I ran fast.
"Damn it, fortunately, I ran away quickly. If she were to continue asking, she might really reveal something. No, no, I have to send this woman away as soon as possible. If she stays in the Tower of Dusk every day, she'll cause trouble sooner or later. If the Brilliance Shrine finds out that I'm related to that damned Immortal King, they'll burn me like a heretic." After so many coincidences, Lin Li had long guessed something. That Immortal King was most likely a very powerful Undead creature. He might even be the leader of an Undead force.
It was not hard to guess. From Alanna to the Demon Fall Valley, and then from the Demon Fall Valley to the Breezy Plains, every time he was related to the Immortal King, it was always because of Undead creatures. The ghosts in the Shadowglen, the Vampires from the Dark Age, and the Legendary Assassin's Heaven's Wrath Dagger. If Lin Li still could not guess it, he should really kill himself with a piece of tofu.
This was not a joke. Perhaps the Brilliance Shrine could tolerate ordinary Necromancers, and even tolerate Englos befriending Sendros, but when it came to the leader of a large Undead force, such as the three Undead Lords in the Shadowglen, the Brilliance Shrine would not be so easy to deal with. They might not even give face to the Supreme Council …
Lin Li secretly rejoiced as he walked into the guild's meeting room. Gerian had been sitting there for a long time.
"Tell me, what do you need my help with?" The fatty sat there with an arrogant look on his face. He had one leg on the table, just like when he was in Jarrosus Guild of Magic.
"Small matter, small matter …" Lin Li whispered into Gerian's ear with a fawning look. "I want to kill the other Crimson Python too …"
"F * ck!" Gerian almost jumped out of his chair. "You want to go to the Blackstone Mountains? Little bastard, do you want to die?"
