"Before I went crazy, my mentor told me that the stars were shifting positions, and the world was about to face a great calamity …"
"However, no one would have thought that the calamity would start from the ice castle."
"The fallen mages were crazy and cruel, and had a strong power of corruption. To prevent the corruption of the ice castle from spreading, I followed my mentor's orders and activated all the magic barriers in the ice castle, isolating it from the outside world …"
The magic fireplace shone brightly, and Adrian told everyone the story of what happened in the ice castle after the great calamity.
His expression was resolute, as if he was remembering the experience of the great calamity, and his eyes showed a hint of sadness.
Hearing his words, Boles and the others also showed a sad look.
They also remembered what happened during the great calamity, and what they had experienced and seen.
"What happened after that? What about those monsters? And … what about the other surviving mages? "
Ados asked again.
"Dead, they're all dead."
Adrian sighed softly.
"Before it became the Empire's Magic Academy, the ice castle was a fortress that defended against invaders, and for a period of time, it was used as a prison to imprison criminals, so the entire castle had a perfect magic barrier system."
"Sealing Magic, Imprisonment Magic, Weakening Magic, Purification Magic, Attack Magic … the ice castle did not lack magic barriers and Solidification Magic."
"It was also because of these barriers and magic that we, the surviving mages, could resist the corruption of the fallen mages, and fight against them at the same time …"
"The monsters that are corrupted by mages are very strange. Although we've weakened them with the magic barrier under our mentor's orders, they've become stronger by devouring each other. Some of them have even gradually regained their intelligence …"
"In the end, we, the surviving mages, sacrificed our lives to cast forbidden magic, and finally perished together with the monsters …"
At this point, Adrian sighed softly, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
"Until now, I still can't forget the moment our mentor, who was devoured by the corruption, was purified by us, his expression of relief when he regained a moment of clarity, and the gratified look he gave us before he died …"
"Although I didn't hear his last words clearly, but I know that he hoped that we could nip the danger of the ice castle in the bud, and prevent the corruption from spreading …"
"It's been more than a year. We've paid a huge price and finally wiped out all the Fallen Mages."
"However, when I killed the last monster and was about to share the joy with my companions, I realized that I was the only survivor left in the ice castle."
"Those old friends, those comrades who fought against the monsters together after the upheaval, they are all dead …"
Adrian paused when he reached this part of the story.
He reached out and touched the worn magic book on the bookcase with a sad look on his face.
"Adrian, since everything is over, why don't you leave? Don't you know how worried your fiancée Ayr is? She has been waiting for you to return! She has been waiting for you to return … Have you forgotten about her? "
Ados said excitedly.
In the end, he choked up a little.
His eyes were red as he stared at Adrian. His body was trembling slightly, as if waiting for an explanation and answer from the other party.
Adrian laughed bitterly, his face was apologetic.
"I'm sorry … Father, I've never forgotten my promise, and I've never forgotten Ayr …"
"I want to leave too, but unfortunately, the ice castle's seal is targeted at all beings who were in the ice castle when the seal was activated. That means that us surviving mages are included as well."
"The monsters can't leave here, and so can we. The monsters' powers are suppressed, and so are we. However, because our powers are much weaker than the monsters, we don't feel much of the suppression …"
"To prevent the corruption of the ice castle from leaking out, before the magic barrier was activated, my teacher had completely rewritten the rules of the enchantment. Once the magic system of the ice castle is activated, the trapped beings can't shut down the magic system of the ice castle …"
"So, I was trapped here until you all came."
After listening to his story, everyone had a look of realization.
Ados looked at him with a complicated gaze.
At this point, Adrian heaved a sigh of relief. He laughed in a relaxed manner.
"Father, it's great to see all of you."
"I thought that I was destined to die here, but with all of you here, the ice castle's seal can be completely opened."
"Right, Father, how's the situation outside? Ever since the incident with the ice castle, the Empire hasn't sent anyone to investigate. Did something happen? "
"How's Sister Vivian? And my two cute little nieces … Oh, I promised to teach them magic last year, but I broke my promise … "
"They … They won't blame me, right?"
Looking at the young mage's bright smile and expectant gaze, everyone was slightly stunned, and could not help but look at Ados.
They wanted to say something but stopped, their gazes complicated.
Tony's heart tightened.
Vivian … That was the name of Ados's dead daughter.
However, after a moment of silence, Ados squeezed out a smile.
"Very good … They're all very good …"
"When we return, you can continue to teach them magic."
"Adrian, they like you so much, how could they blame you?"
Looking at Ados' gentle smile, everyone was slightly stunned.
Tony was even more stunned, not knowing why Ados would lie to his son.
"Is that so? That's great! "
Adrian's face lit up with joy.
Ados also smiled warmly.
However, in the next moment, his gaze revealed a hint of surprise, and looked towards the back of the hall.
"Hmm? Adrian, why does that sculpture look so familiar? "
"Hmm?"
Adrian tilted his head, and slowly turned around.
However, the moment he turned around, Ados suddenly pulled out Ramis's sword, and under everyone's shocked gaze, stabbed it into Adrian's back.
When the sword was pulled out, blood splattered everywhere.
Adrian fell to the ground.
"Fa … Father?"
He slowly turned around, and looked at Ados with a stunned gaze.
However, Ados's gaze towards Adrian was no longer gentle.
In his eyes, there was only seriousness and anger.
"Ados!"
Milaire could not help but let out a cry of surprise.
However, what he got in return was a roar from Ados, "What the hell?
"Back off!"
Following that, he threw Ramis's sword to Adrian, and with the other hand, he picked up his staff, and pointed it at Adrian who fell to the ground, and said in a low voice.
"Ayr Wei is just a name I made up, Adrian does not have a fiancée …"
"You're not Adrian, who are you?"
