There was no suspense in the following battle.
Even though the battle against the experienced Transcendent "Poisonous Blue Bell Flower" wasn't easy, but after breaking through her illusion, this "Man Killer Fiend" was nothing more than a powerful Knight. Elvin's group and the City Guard worked together to kill her in the end.
Although "Man Killer Fiends" were "Evil Spirits" released by the "Box of Dead Souls", compared to the undying and mysterious existences recorded in the books, there was a clear difference.
From Elvin's point of view, most of them were just vengeful spirits with a strong obsession. At most, they were tainted by the mysteriousness of the "Box of Dead Souls", a legendary Transcendent item that belonged to the Gods, and mutated into Evil Spirits.
Even the strongest "White Mask's Dancer" only had a small part of the "Evil Spirit"'s strange abilities, and was still far from being undying.
In tonight's battle, Elvin's group of four didn't suffer any casualties.
Other than Dilis who was almost unharmed, the three men had only gotten up after resting on the ground for half a day after the effects of [Witchcraft: Rouse] had ended. Their bodies were sore from the aftereffects.
He immediately took the targeted Magic Potion that Elven had prepared in advance, and the side effects were quickly alleviated.
This was also a set of [Witchcraft – Uplift] that Elvin came up with after he got it from the "Blood Hand" stronghold. It was safer and more practical than the original version.
Unfortunately, the "Poisonous Blue Bell Flower" used "Mind Witchcraft" to control the City Guard was already an empty shell. After the battle, including the City Guard's deputy Jast, a total of 3 Transcendents and 4 Trainees died in this battle.
It was a heavy loss.
But this had nothing to do with Elvin's group anymore. Anthony and Dilis, who were of higher status among the four, stayed behind to help the Consul clean up the mess and calm down the guests who had already broken free from the crazed desire to dance.
Elvin called Crail to accompany him to send his aunt and her friends back. He didn't forget that there were still two Man Killer Fiends outside, "Demon's Disciple" and "Random Host".
Of course, the main focus was Aunt Daphne. The others were just fillers.
Even so, Elvin still received everyone's gratitude. They had seen everything that had happened tonight. It could be said that if it weren't for Elvin and the others, it was very likely that tonight would have been the end of their lives.
"It's all thanks to Elvin today. After this period of time, Dave must bring Major Elvin to our house for a gathering!"
"That's right! You must do us sisters a favor and give us a chance to thank Major Elvin!"
At this time, no one treated Elvin as a junior that they could casually tease. Even the way they addressed him was much more formal.
Even Daphne's status in this small circle rose sharply. Although this noble lady was still a little shaken, there was a smile on her face.
"No problem. Definitely, definitely."
To Daphne, there was nothing that made her happier than a junior that had a bright future. Towards the invitations of her sisters, she smiled and accepted them one by one.
No one noticed that in the corner of the carriage, the handsome blonde haired and blue eyed youth, Clement, was gritting his teeth. He lowered his head slightly, not letting anyone see his face, "Why?! Why?! Why doesn't this power and honor belong to me? I should be the one that everyone revolves around! "
Unlike the family members of the navy officers, Clement was just an ordinary piano teacher. He had never seen the so-called supernatural powers before. What happened tonight had a huge impact on his worldview and understanding!
The human heart was the hardest thing to control.
Towards Elvin who saved everyone, not only was he not grateful like the others, he was filled with jealousy and hatred. It was as if everything that Elvin had was stolen from him!
Although Elvin was a miraculous Magus, he couldn't always listen to the inner thoughts of others. Even if he knew what Clement was thinking, he wouldn't care. This kind of person wasn't a threat to him.
Furthermore, Elvin believed that it wouldn't be long before the Crowmen squad from New Ewen Harbor would come knocking on their door one by one, either to warn, control, or hypnotize these normal people who accidentally found out about the supernatural world's existence, using appropriate methods to prevent them from further exploring the unknown.
Break their unrealistic obsessions!
After sending them off, Elvin hugged his auntie goodbye and told her to be careful, then followed Crail back to the academy that very night.
The night was gloomy, the dim yellow moonlight with a hint of red was a sign of misfortune.
On the horse carriage, Elvin and Crail were sitting facing each other.
"Alright, there's no one here now, if you have anything to ask, just ask"
In fact, after the battle, Elvin saw that Crail wanted to say something but stopped himself. The main reason why he called him along wasn't to deal with any "Man Killer Fiends" that might appear, but it was for this moment.
Crail already had too many questions in his mind tonight, but he didn't know if he should ask them or not. Now that he got Elvin's permission, he naturally poured out all his questions.
"How did you meet famous people like Anthony and Dilis? The special effects that appeared during their battle weren't my eyes playing tricks on me right? At the end, Elvin, you used witchcraft, it must be witchcraft, right?! "
After saying that, Crail was a bit regretful and looked at Elvin nervously. Especially since the civilized world as a whole rejected wizards, these questions were already out of line.
"Due to certain rules, I can't tell you a lot of information, I can only say that a part of the truth is as you guessed"
Elvin knew that Crail had continuously applied for the right to borrow the "Shadow Library" for many years, so naturally he was very obsessed with the mystical knowledge within. Taking the opportunity of fighting side by side with the Man Killer Fiends today, and seeing that they were once roommates, he might be able to help him out a bit.
"You really are …"
Elvin saw Crail's leg slightly tremble, at first he was surprised, then hesitant, hesitant, then silent.
The air in the carriage seemed to have frozen.
After a while.
Crail's gaze was distant and unfocused, slowly opened his mouth.
"Elvin, I've actually been obsessed with mystical witchcraft since I was young. My family has always been led by my uncle, so I rarely talk about my father.
That's because when I was very young, he had already died in the line of duty on the sea …
And in the legends, the Sea God of the Black Sea is in charge of the souls of the dead at sea and their final resting place … "
Elvin silently listened, although Crail's narration was intermittent, sometimes even in the wrong order, he quickly understood what his obsession was.
Ever since his father died in the line of duty, Crail had always hoped to borrow the power of witchcraft to communicate with the Sea God and see his father again.
But as he grew up, he already knew that this was nothing but wishful thinking. Even if he found a wizard, the wizard would still be willing to help him.
But even the great Gods wouldn't be able to let the souls of the dead return to the human world, unless it was a pitiful monster like the "Undead" … But that was something he didn't want to see.
Elvin understood.
With this guy's background, if he really was willing to pay any price to find a wizard, would he wait until now? At least his grandfather, who was a professor at the academy, and his uncle, who was a general, would definitely know about the "Shadow Library".
Today he finally met a wizard, so it's time to wake up from his dream.
