Murph stood up shakily, her body covered in blood.
Her solemn nun's robe had become tattered, vaguely outlining the curves of her body.
She stood expressionlessly in the middle of the ruins, looking at the collapsed buildings and flying dust around her, as well as the huge pit in the center.
In the middle of the pit, where the altar used to be, there was a black coffin buried underground. It was covered with pale white skeletons, as if they were scrambling to reach for the red gem inlaid in the middle of the coffin.
It was the Coffin of Eternal Sleep inlaid with the Philosopher's Stone.
It was the signature spellcasting tool of the Annihilation Dark Wizard, Praying Murph.
For a wizard, a normal spellcasting tool was just a tool, which could only be used as a support and simplification tool.
In the end, what determined the power of a spell was the amount of aether that could be mobilized and the wizard's combat skills.
For example, when casting a Flame Spell, low-level wizards often used sulfur and saltpeter as spellcasting tools, while high-level wizards only needed to chant the spell.
Therefore, most people's impression of a Dark Wizard was that they often wore a wide and mysterious black robe, and that they could take out strange things from their body to cast spells at any time.
It was like the igniter used to make a fire. It could simplify the process and increase the power, but it didn't. It was just a little more strenuous, but it didn't have much of an impact. Remember: http://m.9biquge.com
But if it was a powerful spellcasting tool with extraordinary power, then it could be used far more than just support.
The Coffin of Eternal Sleep was a powerful spellcasting tool with the ability to "resurrect." It was also an extremely dangerous and taboo item.
Murph used the Coffin of Eternal Sleep to resurrect Wang Erde's disciple, Charles, and turned him into her puppet. She used this opportunity to get close to Wang Erde and assassinate him.
This plan wasn't a last-minute one.
When Wang Erde's other disciple, Yue Ai, was still alive, it had been included in the steps of their plan.
According to Yue Ai, her teacher favored Charles like a father to his son, not like a teacher to his disciple.
Yue Ai, who was also a disciple and more talented, finally assassinated Charles out of jealousy and greed, and then defected.
Although Wang Erde was an Annihilation Dark Wizard, he had been defeated by Yue Sefu, and he had such a fatal weakness.
It was the best nourishment for the Demonic Mirror Egg.
As a Dark Sorcerer of the same rank, Morpheus had also come into contact with Wang Erde.
According to her judgment, it was Wang Erde, who had been defeated in the battle two years ago and was still hiding.
Even if one used their toes to think, their strength was definitely not as strong as before.
But he did not expect that even with such an idea, he still carefully chose the opponent's weakness to carry out an assassination, and yet … failed?!
Originally, everything had been going smoothly.
Until just now …
Wang Erde had only been out for half an hour before he came back and killed Charles, whom he regarded as his son, without hesitation.
What happened in between?
How did he discover the truth all of a sudden, and how did he become so determined?!
Based on his previous behavior, even if he had discovered it, it was impossible for him to act without any hesitation!
"Damn it, what the hell did he do?"
Morpheus took a deep breath and waved his hand hard. The chaotic invisible aether was rearranged.
"Shua!"
The curtain of rain falling from the sky was blocked outside, forming a strange scene like a waterfall.
The collapsed secret chamber was rebuilt, and the broken and sunken ground was restored to its original state.
The Dark Sorcerer who had been affected and died just now was revived by the Coffin of Eternal Sleep. He stood up shakily and became a new puppet.
The Dark Sorcerers were used to it and continued to help clean up.
A Dark Sorcerer walked up from the crowd and half-knelt on the ground. "Lady Morpheus."
"Cough, cough …"
Morpheus coughed twice and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She said coldly, "What's the matter?"
She felt the sharp pain all over her body and lost a small part of her soul. She felt more and more angry.
Any spell that involved the soul was very dangerous, even for an Annihilation-level Dark Sorcerer.
Moreover, the one who broke this spell and counterattacked was an Annihilation-level Dark Sorcerer.
Although the other party did not cause any real damage and was only at the testing stage, this alone was enough to make Morpheus feel humiliated.
This meant that she had lost a confrontation.
However, Morpheus still believed that this was not a difference in strength, but a reversal of the information gap, which led to the exchange of positions in the light and in the dark.
Originally, she was in the dark, and Wang Erde was in the light. She had grasped his weakness tightly, and she was the one who took him by surprise.
But with Wilde's sudden reversal, the two sides had completely reversed their positions.
Unexpectedly, Wang Erde became the one who took Morpheus by surprise, and the victim naturally became Morpheus.
The half-kneeling Dark Sorcerer said respectfully, "White Wolf Leader He Lisi is here to visit. He says he wants to see you."
"He Lisi?"
Morpheus sneered and reached out her hand. The blood on her body and around gathered into a floating smooth blood ball. She put it into her robe. "What is he doing here?"
She was about to say no, but the subordinate said, "He said he knows why you failed."
Morpheus's sneer froze.
"… Let him come."
"Yes."
— —
He Lisi bowed to Morpheus who was standing in front of him and said, "Lady Morpheus, it's an honor to meet you … I've visited you many times before, but I couldn't fulfill my wish. Today, I can finally fulfill it."
Morpheus had already put on a new nun's uniform.
Before she became a Dark Sorcerer, she was a prayer nun of the Church of Pestilence, responsible for blessing the dead. Later, she became a Dark Sorcerer after she received the Coffin of Eternal Sleep and the inheritance of the previous owner.
The stronghold that was attacked by Ji Zhixu, the abandoned church of the Church of Pestilence, was the meeting place she had provided.
She was very arrogant, and her attitude towards the hunters that she worked with this time was also very disdainful.
He Lisi had visited her many times, but he was refused even a meeting. He never showed up.
Morpheus's eyes were full of probing and threat. She said directly, "What gave you the confidence to know the reason for my failure, and … to come here from the hunters' territory before it happened?"
"If you can't convince me, then I have reason to suspect that you're involved in this matter."
The pressure of the Annihilation Grade made He Lisi's back break out in cold sweat. His face was a little stiff, but he still smiled and said, "Forgive me for being blunt, but the reason for this failure … is you."
"Me?" Morpheus narrowed her eyes.
He Lisi said, "Do you still remember … Yue Ai's death report?"
Morpheus's expression froze. She said, "Of course I remember. The rotten flesh is the remains of some kind of dream parasite. From my judgment, although it can kill a Terror Grade, its life force is very short, and it doesn't pose a threat.
That's why you gave the order to give up investigating the bookstore and do your best to ensure that the Magic Mirror Egg hatches. "
He Lisi looked up, his eyes flashing coldly. He said meaningfully, "But did you know that just half an hour ago, Wang Erde just went to the bookstore?"
"The person who caused Wang Erde's sudden change and your plan to fail is the owner of the bookstore."
