"What the hell did you do to me? Where's my magic? Why can't I release my magic?!! "
Charles had never been so panicked before. When he opened his eyes, his power had completely disappeared …. No, it wasn't his power that disappeared. Charles clearly remembered that he was a mage, a 3-star mage of the School of Order.
He knew that he specialized in elemental magic in the School of Order and was good at using elemental spells. He could even recite the names of the teachers who taught him in every class.
But he just couldn't release his magic!!
It was like a person starving to death. He knew that he would die if he didn't eat, and he knew what food was, but he just "forgot" the process of eating!
No, for a mage, this was even crueler than starving to death!
"Give me back my magic! Give it back!! "
Although Charles was a powerful mage in the past, he was now just an ordinary person without his magic. Therefore, in the face of the furious Charles, Fangzheng just snorted coldly. He raised the Void Breaker Sword in his hand and pressed it against Charles' neck. Charles couldn't help but shut his mouth when he felt the ice-cold edge of the sword. He didn't have any defensive blade spells to use right now. This sword would definitely kill him.
"Okay, baldy. I'll ask a question, and you answer one. If you say any more nonsense, I can't guarantee that my hand won't slip …. Got it?"
"You, you dare threaten me? Do you know who I am …."
Whoosh!
But before Charles could finish his sentence, he heard a flash of sword light. He felt a chill in his crotch. When he looked down, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He saw the tip of Fangzheng's sword pointing between his legs, less than a finger's distance away.
"I'll ask the questions now, and you answer. Got it?"
"… … …"
Charles swallowed his saliva and nodded vigorously. At this moment, he had no choice but to understand.
"Very well. Tell me your name and identity first."
"I-I'm Charles Lawrence. I'm a mage of the White Tower of Heaven …."
"White Tower of Heaven? You're really from the White Tower?"
Hearing Charles' answer, Fina couldn't help but exclaim. Even Fangzheng raised his brows. Of course, he knew what the White Tower of Heaven was. In order to protect the Violet Treaty, the Order forces on this continent had formed an Order Alliance. This alliance was to protect Order and destroy Chaos. The four organizations in this alliance were the core organizations of each country.
For example, Fangzheng's Country of Saints was represented by the Contemplation Templar, while the Country of Magi was represented by the White Tower of Heaven. It was said that the "White Tower of Heaven" was where all the elite mages of the Country of Magic resided. It was similar to the Mage Country's highest educational institution. Only students who passed the "college entrance exam" were qualified to enter the White Tower of Heaven to study and further their studies. Only then would they be able to obtain even greater power and a lofty status.
But … it seemed that high scores and low abilities were not a unique characteristic of a certain world.
"I didn't expect the mages of the White Tower to work with the cultists."
"You have no idea what I've been through!"
Charles was enraged when he heard Fangzheng's mockery.
"Those damn colleagues, they secretly ostracized me and even mocked me! I was kicked out of the Core Circle and sent to this godforsaken place to be a Watcher. I've had enough! I clearly … "
"I'm not interested in your past. Stop talking nonsense."
Fangzheng really did not care about Charles's complaints at all. He had seen too many fresh college graduates like this during interviews. They would always say things like "It's not me that's wrong, it's the world", "My idea is right, as long as I have enough resources and funding, I will definitely succeed" … But these were all useless. You can't even do things with limited resources, and you expect the company to put you in an important position? Is there something wrong with your brain?
"Tell me something useful. What are these cultists planning to do? Why did they attack the stronghold? What are they going to do with these Paladins? Tell me everything you know. "
"…"
But this time, Charles did not answer. On the contrary, he stared at the Void Breaker Sword in Fangzheng's hand with a complicated expression, as if he was thinking about something. Looking at his expression, Fangzheng smiled.
"You don't really think we know nothing, do you? To be honest, we've already learned what you're going to do from the other captives. We just want to verify it now. Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist. If you're willing to cooperate, we might consider letting you go. But if you don't … then we're sorry. "
“？”
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Fina and John looked at him in surprise. Captives? Where did the captives come from? Didn't the cultists commit suicide after they were captured?
"Hmph, I don't believe it."
Charles snorted at Fangzheng's words. He knew very well what kind of ruthless characters those cultists were. In his opinion, although the cultists were crazy, they were terrifyingly fanatical about their beliefs. He did not believe that these cultists would betray him, let alone that they would betray His Excellency.
"Well, it seems that you're going to resist to the end."
Fangzheng shrugged when he saw Charles' disdainful expression.
"I can understand that you're worried that we're bluffing you. How about this, I'll give you a hint … The Fallen City of Samer, that's your destination, right?"
"How did you know —!?"
Hearing this, Charles was shocked. He did not understand how the other party knew about it. Even he had only just learned about their destination from His Excellency, and the other cultists had not been informed yet. Logically speaking, it was impossible for this young man to know this secret!
But when Charles saw Fangzheng's expression, he finally understood.
"You're bluffing?"
"Sigh … I thought mages were pretty smart, but it seems like …. But then again, IQ and EQ are never directly proportional," Sheyan sighed.
"You …. You …."
Charles's face turned ashen when he heard Fangzheng's answer. If not for the fact that he was afraid of Fangzheng's longsword and that he could not release his magic for some reason, he would have pounced on the young man and fought him to the death!
Charles's face was filled with hatred. Fina and John were stunned when they heard the news.
"Are those cultists really planning to reopen the Gates of Hell?"
"That's right."
Charles had thrown caution to the wind. He had lost his magic and was captured by the Holy Cathedral. He had basically lost all his reputation. He could even imagine what would happen to him when he returned. Since that was the case, Charles had nothing to worry about anymore.
"His Excellency is about to reopen the Gates of Hell and summon the army of demons into this world again. When that happens, all of you will die!"
"That's impossible!!"
But Fina shook her head vigorously. She could not believe Charles's words.
"The Gates of Hell were sealed by the Goddess of Order herself. It's absolutely impossible to open, be it internally or externally! Even if Sanatoga comes personally, it's impossible! "
"That's why they say that stupidity is a lifelong thing."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng looked at Charles with a pitiful gaze before shrugging.
"It seems that there are quite a lot of idiots among mages. You believe whatever others say. When the time comes, you'll probably be counting the money for others …."
"Of course, you idiots who believe in gods and gods won't understand!"
Charles sneered at Fangzheng's mockery.
"Indeed, the Goddess's seal is very strong. It's impossible to reopen it. But who said that we have to reopen the sealed gate? Since the gate can't be opened, can't we open a gap again? Hahahaha, you're too stupid …. You don't understand at all …. Hahahaha …. Why are you looking at me like that? "
John and Fina did not know what to say, especially Fina. She knew very well that Fangzheng did not know anything, and what she said before was just a guess. But she did not expect this young man to be so powerful. With just some specious guesses, he actually made Charles admit it on his own initiative with just a few words.
"… That's why they say that stupidity is a lifelong thing."
Looking at the stunned Charles, Fangzheng shrugged. He turned his head and looked at Fina beside him.
