"Damn it!" Bora cursed in a low voice. She obviously felt that something was wrong and hastily retreated into the room. Her short and fat body was actually quite nimble as she planned to obstruct the dark creatures' charge inside the room.
The high level water magic "Ice Spell" was released. A white mist enshrouded the room as a sparkling and translucent ice wall sealed the door. The ice wall emitted a cold white mist under the illumination of the sunlight.
The evil knight rode on his skeletal warhorse and raised a bone spur that was even larger than his body. He charged towards the ice wall, raising his bone spur high and fiercely thrusting it at the ice wall.
Clang!
Surprisingly, this ice wall formed by the "Frost Spell" actually had a tough defense. When the huge bone spikes hit the ice wall, they made a huge impact. The ice wall was only pierced by the sharp bone spikes, and the ice wall's defense did not collapse in one fell swoop.
"Ice Blade Slash!" A loud cry came from Bora's mouth from inside the room.
The cold wind howled and snow fluttered in the air. One after another, ice blades spun and shot towards the dark creatures in the courtyard. When the lower level skeletal warriors were hit by the ice blades, their weak skeletons shattered one after another. Even the spiraling gargoyles fell one after another under the ice blades' attacks.
However, the higher level zombie warriors and hate warriors still stood tall even after being cut by the ice blades. They walked step by step towards the room Bora was in and began to attack the ice wall together with the evil knight.
Under the cover of the "Canopy of Necromancy", Han Shuo wore a cold smile as he stood proudly in the middle of the courtyard. He leisurely watched the dark creatures attack Bora and inwardly experienced the most appropriate way to use necromancy magic.
Clang!
Finally, the ice wall shattered under the impact of the evil knight's huge bone spur. Soon after, the evil knight charged into Bora's room along with his skeletal warhorse. The two hate warriors and several zombie warriors also entered and occupied the room's windows in an instant.
"I surrender, I surrender!" Inside, Bora turned pale with fright and suddenly cried out involuntarily.
When the evil knight broke through the ice wall's obstruction and rushed into the room with his undead army, Bora knew that it would be difficult for her to salvage the situation. Bora felt an instinctive fear when she was stared at by the evil knight's malevolent and merciless eyes. She immediately screamed to save her life.
"Sou sou sou!"
A dozen or so bone spears shot in through the window, two of which directly attacked Bora's back. Before Bora could react, they directly penetrated her short and stout body and carried her towards the evil knight.
The evil knight raised his huge bone spear high up. When the bone spear fell, Bora's head flew high up into the air. A mouthful of warm blood sprinkled down and fell into the still smoking potion bottle. The potion bottle was splashed by the warm blood and suddenly burst open.
"Murder, murder!" When the guard who had brought Han Shuo in heard the mournful scream, he understood that Bora must have been killed. Losing his head out of fear, he screamed as he rushed to the back of the courtyard.
Through the spying of the Yin Demons, Han Shuo noticed that there was a group of people in the distance who were swiftly heading over. This time, his target was only Bora. Han Shuo didn't waste any time. When Bora died, he immediately recalled his necromancy and the mental strength he used to maintain the "Canopy of Necromancy". He then used the levitation spell to leave the courtyard.
For five days in a row, Han Shuo used the transportation matrix to travel back and forth between the various cities of the Empire to challenge experts. Not only was he victorious in every battle, but he also killed his opponents on the spot. His fierce reputation quickly spread throughout the Lancelot Empire.
Under Candide's deliberate embellishment, Han Shuo's identity was slowly recognized by some of the experts of the Empire. Many nobles had heard of this young expert's deeds and expressed great interest in him.
* * *
Lancelot Empire's Imperial Palace, in a luxurious hall that was heavily guarded, His Majesty the Empire, King Uhtred Lancelot, was wearing a loose robe, sitting on the throne, waiting for something.
Uhtred was almost sixty years old. Due to his excessive debauchery in his youth, his body was growing weaker and weaker. Although his frame was large, he appeared somewhat emaciated. Although his hair and skin had been treated with a special magic potion, they still appeared jet-black and glossy. Unfortunately, his complexion was still not good.
"Your Majesty, Lord Candide has arrived!" Suddenly, a guard walked in from outside and said softly.
This guard was wearing a shining armor, appearing calm and callous. His entire body had the calm bearing of a top expert. From the insignia on his armor, it could be seen that he was a powerful sky rider.
"Let him in!" Uhtred indifferently ordered when he heard that Candide had arrived.
After a while, Candide walked in with a gloomy face. He opened his mouth and said softly, "Your subject Candide greets Your Majesty!"
"Sit. I heard that you have a kid under your command who has been very dazzling these past two days. What's going on?" Uhtred glanced at Candide and asked indifferently.
"He's called Brian. I was the one who introduced him to the Dark Mantle. This kid's strength is extraordinary and his mind is calm. He's helped the Dark Mantle accomplish several major things not long after joining. Oh, even Ayermike Cotton's notebook was brought back from the Dark Forest by him. He's a very rare talent. "Candide was still incomparably respectful after sitting down as he opened his mouth to explain." So he's called Brian.
Heh heh, interesting, interesting. I remember that Red Archbishop Kosse of the Church of Light just sent someone over yesterday to ask for Brian. I didn't expect to hear news of him today. Candide, oh Candide, isn't this a bit too much of a coincidence? "Uhtred's voice sounded very cheerful, as if he was talking to a friend about old times.
Candide was startled and hurriedly explained, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This matter was arranged by me with the goal of eradicating some factors that are detrimental to the stability of the country. Brian's strength is extraordinary. Not only has he passed the magus examination of the Mage Association, he's also grasped a miraculous martial technique. He's a very rare talent. Our country really needs young experts like him."
Uhtred snorted coldly and looked at Candide, "Candide, do you think it's worth it for me to become enemies with the Church of Light for this kid?"
"Your subject thinks it's worth it! Brian is only eighteen years old this year. He entered the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force a little over a year ago. In less than two years, he went from a magic apprentice to a necromancy archmage. In addition, his martial technique is also very outstanding. This kind of talent's future potential is limitless.
It's only because he practices necromancy magic and grasps some knowledge that's detrimental to the Church of Light that the Church of Light has deliberately targeted him. In the Valley of Sunshine, there was a light grand magus named Ferguson who was killed by Brian, ultimately incurring the wrath of the Church of Light.
To be able to kill a light grand magus is sufficient proof of his strength. In addition, the most important thing is that he's still young and has unlimited prospects for development. Your subject believes that such a talent cannot be let go. Even if it means offending the Church of Light, it's still worth it! "Candide respectfully replied.
A light flashed in Uhtred's eyes when he heard Candide's words. He straightened his body slightly and stared at Candide, saying, "In less than two years, he became an archmage necromancer from a magic apprentice and was even able to kill a light grand magus. Candide, are you sure this information is true?"
"Your Majesty, you also know that my wife is the dean of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. I can confirm that this information is absolutely true. Originally, I also suspected that his strength wasn't enough to kill a light grand magus. That's why I issued the order to challenge some notorious experts. However, according to my information, he indeed has this kind of strength.
The most difficult thing is that such a genius has a clean background and has a very good sense of belonging to the Empire. He's also willing to work for the Empire. In the future, I believe that his accomplishments will certainly be even greater. Perhaps he can become a figure like Karel Ascot. Oh, right, Brian is also the boyfriend of sacred swordmaster Karel Ascot's most beloved female disciple, Phoebe! "Candide continued.
"Oh, you're saying that he has some relationship with Karel Ascot?" Uhtred was startled and asked Candide in astonishment.
"Correct. Not only that, he's also a good friend of His Highness Lawrence. You also know that His Highness Lawrence is studying some war strategies at the Knight Academy and is also Karel Ascot's disciple. Due to his relationship with Phoebe and Brian's good relationship, Brian's contribution in exposing Bob Ascher's plot in Valen City was the greatest. "Candide saw Uhtred's startled expression and once again struck while the iron was hot.
Uhtred couldn't help but turn silent after hearing Candide's words. He thought for a while and then said, "So it's like this. From what you've said, it seems that this Brian is a bit interesting. Oh, I heard that great swordmaster Leah Cain of the Brut Merchant Alliance has arrived at Ossen City and has consecutively defeated three experts of the same level from our Empire. He's quite arrogant and proud of himself.
Since you said that this Brian is very powerful, then let him challenge Leah Cain. If he can defeat Leah Cain, then it will prove that he's truly a young genius. That way, not only will I be willing to offend the Church of Light for him, I'll also immediately give him a noble title.
Hmph, this crazy swordsman Leah Cain has always had a vile reputation. He only fled to our Lancelot Empire because he offended sacred magus Reynold Dila in Brut. Such a despicable escapee actually dares to be so impudent. He's truly courting death! "
"Your subject understands!" Candide was immediately startled when he heard that Uhtred wanted Han Shuo to challenge Leah Cain. After a moment of silence, he sighed inwardly and could only helplessly agree.
