Chapter 26 "The Outside World Is Terrifying"
In the history of the Roland Empire, there was once an outstanding Emperor who said:
"The Empire's laws are sacred and inviolable! In the Empire's territory, everyone must strictly abide by the Empire's laws. "
That Emperor later created the most glorious era in the history of the Roland Empire. That era was famous for its strict laws and the stability of the Empire's rule.
However, it was also that Emperor … It is said that at the same time that he left behind that famous quote, he privately added another sentence. Of course, this private sentence was not recorded in any official document. However, this sentence was revealed through many channels and was widely circulated.
"… Everyone must abide by the Empire's laws. However, there are two exceptions. The first exception is the Emperor himself. At certain times, the Emperor's power can override the laws! And … the other exception is … the Magicians! "

Powerful Magicians often have much more power than ordinary people. When this power reaches a certain level, they can even move mountains and overturn seas. They can even change the fate of a country. In the existing literature, those who are so powerful that people can't even look up to them, in the eyes of mortals, they are close to the existence of Gods!
Those powerful people can flatten mountains and fill the sea with a wave of their hand. They can summon storms of ice and snow. They can also use the scorching sun to roast the plains into a dry desert! They can destroy thousands of soldiers and horses with a wave of their hand. They can create a disaster that can destroy a small country!
For such powerful people, the secular "laws" are obviously unable to restrain them. And for those powerful people who can easily destroy the world to abide by the secular laws, it is obviously unrealistic.
Even if one did not include the legendary powerhouses who were close to the gods in the legends … Even a battle of life and death between ordinary mages was enough to set off a small-scale disaster, and such a disaster was enough to destroy a city.
According to historical records, before this continent was unified, it was an era of war and darkness. Often, a battle between two magicians could directly destroy a city!
After the continent was unified into a powerful and complete Roland Empire, the large-scale wars disappeared. The number of battles between magicians gradually decreased as well. Even so, in the history of the Roland Empire, there were records of sorcerers destroying one or two small towns in private duels.
But even so, there was no law in the empire's law that forbade mages from dueling in public. Ordinary people were not allowed to fight in public, but mages were not included in the rules.
Even the Guild of Magic only requested mages to settle their personal grudges in less crowded places. But it was only a request, and there were no hard and fast rules.
Even the agreement between the Magician's Guild and the empire was that any mage above the intermediate level, unless he committed the felony of treason, had to be jointly judged by the officials of the empire, the Magician's Guild, and the Shrines of Light! Otherwise, the officials of the empire had no right to arrest or convict any mage above the intermediate level.
In the hundreds of years of history of the empire, there was never a record of a mage above the intermediate level being punished by the empire for breaking the law. There was no doubt that mages were a special group that was above ordinary people.
A group of people who had extraordinary abilities, who were above the law, who could do good or bad things according to their own preferences, and who were almost unrestrained … In the eyes of ordinary people, mages were such an existence. Therefore, when mages were mentioned, people always had an attitude of reverence. Among them, fear accounted for more of the proportion.

Almost all the residents of Half Horn City were awakened from their sleep by the huge movement that night.
The violent vibration woke many people up from their dreams, and some even fell out of their beds. The lights above their heads were swaying, and the wooden doors of their houses were creaking. Many people woke up in horror, and found that they could not even stand in the violent vibration.
People ran out of their houses in panic, and found that there was a dazzling light shining in the sky in the dark night. The huge light was flickering, and they could even hear the roar of some unknown beast from afar, which made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts!
Waves of vibration came from outside the city, and everything seemed to be some kind of unknown terrible disaster. The earthquake, the fire in the sky, and the chilling roar made the residents of Half Horn City panic.
The most frightening thing was that after the wave of vibration came … the violent earthquake even made a part of the northern city wall collapse! The sound of the city wall collapsing made people run blindly in the city!
In the distance, in the direction of Half Horn Mountain outside the city, people could even see two huge light balls, one was silver, and the other was fiery red! The two light balls fiercely collided with each other, and the number of collisions became more and more frequent. Every time they collided, the surging light could almost light up the night! Even the moon in the sky had lost its brilliance!
Along with the intense light, a series of muffled booms could be heard! The roar made people's hearts jump! It was like a heavy hammer hitting people's hearts fiercely.
Similarly, a small portion of the local garrison army's light infantrymen also fell into a state of panic. These soldiers who were responsible for patrolling the city wall couldn't maintain order in the face of the panicked residents of Half Horn City … they were too weak, and they were also scared.
The most terrible thing was … the news finally came! Some people ran to the garrison's military camp outside the city to ask for help, but they were frightened to find that dozens of cavalrymen in the military camp were also injured and fainted on the ground. Even the famous local Knight Spann was seriously injured. The military camp was in a mess, and the fire was extinguished, as if it had just been attacked by someone!
The panicked people started to crowd out of the city, and some people even climbed up the high ground in a panic …
At this moment, a sound like a dull thunder came from the direction of Half Horn Mountain … followed by a series of thunder-like sounds in the summer rainstorm …
"The mountain collapsed! Half Horn Mountain collapsed!! "
Someone exclaimed from the high ground first! Soon after, this frightening news quickly spread among the crowd.
Half Horn Mountain indeed collapsed!!
In the distance, the small mountain that could be seen with the naked eye from the city wall, the locally famous Half Horn Mountain, collapsed under the horrified gazes of the people! The entire mountain peak seemed to be shattered by something, as if it was not a mountain, but a sand pile … it suddenly collapsed!
From afar, the intense light could even be clearly seen by people who were dozens of miles away! There were also those with better eyesight who seemed to be able to see two strange and huge shadows dancing in the strong light …
For the residents of Half Horn City, this night was destined to be an unforgettable one. Because under the shroud of that unknown panic, they almost longed for the dawn to come!
When the sun's rays finally bloomed on the horizon, the terrifying roar and the fierce flashes of light that had been flashing fiercely for half a night finally disappeared!
After waiting for more than an hour and confirming that the unknown disaster seemed to have really ended, the fear in people's hearts gradually calmed down.
In the middle of the night, Span Knight and others were rescued by the soldiers who ran to the garrison barracks for help. They finally woke up, as well as Robert and others.
In front of the powerful magician, they almost had no resistance, they were injured and fainted. Then under the magic of the ice beauty, the whole hall was collapsed by her. At that time, the people who were knocked down by the ice beauty were also injured by the collapsed house.
The first to wake up from the rescue was the female Knight, Ruo Lin.
Because Rolynn had been injured in the day's battle, she had been resting at night due to excessive blood loss. Moreover, Thorskei had also given her some medicine to promote sleep. As a result, Rolynn, who hadn't been injured in the night's attack, was the first to wake up. She was still weak because of excessive blood loss, after all, the blood loss couldn't be replenished in a short period of time.
The next to wake up was Robert Knight, then Span Knight, and then the guards of the Rollin Family. After several people discovered that their young master and that terrifying female attacker had disappeared, everyone panicked.
After understanding the situation from the surrounding people, the injured Robert did not care about the burns on his body. He immediately supported his injured body and brought a few of his less injured subordinates to prepare a carriage to Half Horn Mountain. When Span Knight learned that the young master of the Rollin Family had disappeared, he suddenly felt as if he had stepped off a ten thousand zhang cliff! He was seriously injured and was unable to move. He could only order the garrison soldiers who could still move to immediately follow Robert to Half Horn Mountain! Because according to what the residents said, it was very likely that the terrifying female attacker had run to Half Horn Mountain last night.
At the same time, Span Knight immediately sent people to leave Half Horn City at top speed, heading to the garrison's spring drill location to ask for help. At the same time, he immediately reported everything that happened in Half Horn City to the governor of Lille Province.
Not to mention how worried Span Knight was about his future, Robert Knight endured the pain and took a carriage to the ruins of Half Horn Mountain. Ruo Lin was also accompanying the carriage.
But the scene in front of them was enough to make even the calmest person tongue-tied!
These people had been to Half Horn Mountain! Just a day ago, they had formed a team to search for magic beasts. Their footprints had even covered the entire Half Horn Mountain.
When they came yesterday, this place was a typical hilly mountain in the southern region of the Empire. The mountain stretched for three to four li and was covered with lush greenery. The entire mountain was shaped like a 'U'. The highest peak was in the middle. Standing on the peak, one could overlook the outline of Half Horn City in the distance.
But now …
Robert and Ruo Lin who were carried down from the carriage opened their mouths and eyes wide. They could not believe what was happening in front of them!
God! If this was a nightmare, then let it end quickly!
Although one of the local garrison soldiers swore that this was definitely Half Horn Mountain … … Or rather, this was where Half Horn Mountain used to be.
However, even the soldier who had sworn an oath himself was at a loss, and his eyes were filled with fear!
In front of them … …
Half Horn Mountain … …
No, no, it should be said that there was no 'mountain' here!
In front of them was a … gigantic circular crater with a diameter of at least three kilometers!!
Where was Half Horn Mountain? Where did the mountain go?
This question was in everyone's mind!
The carriage stopped right at the edge of this huge circular crater. Robert felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the shocking scene in front of him … …
This huge circular crater seemed to have been left behind by some kind of violent explosion! It was very likely that Knight guessed that the entire mountain had been blown up by the explosion! At the edge of the huge circular crater, there were all kinds of strange rocks of different sizes. The ground was covered with a thick layer of sand. The original soil had long since disappeared.
As for this huge circular crater, the surrounding area was slightly shallower. The closer to the center, the deeper it got!
What was even more frightening was the appearance of this circular crater.
It was as if the gods in the heavens had used an invisible pen to divide it into two completely different shapes!
With the center of the circular crater as the boundary, the left side of the crater was covered with a thick layer of ice! The hard ice on the ground seemed to have been accumulated over tens of thousands of years! The thick and hard ice, as well as the frost covering the ground, froze everything in this half of the pit into a silver world! Even the surface of the rocks was covered with a layer of ice crystals!
As for the right side of the crater, it was the complete opposite!
If the left side of the crater was a world of ice and snow, then the right side was like a desert!
It was as if every drop of water on the ground had been burned dry! The ground was covered with fine, dry and hard gravel. Some of the ground that was not covered by sand was clearly cracked due to the excessive dryness! Here, not a single drop of water could be found … … Even the rocks seemed to have been burned to the point of cracking!
This huge circular crater, one left and one right, had two completely opposite appearances. This made everyone feel frightened and shocked.
He was, after all, a strong-willed knight. Robert was the first to recover from his shock.
"I guess … … there must have been an intense battle here last night. This level of battle is unimaginable for people of our level … … That female magician called Vivian is also missing. She must have had a great battle with that female attacker here last night. " Knight analyzed with a solemn face. "We don't have to care about these things … … Our problem is, where is the young master now! He's not in the camp. When we were rescued, he was already gone! Then he must have been kidnapped by the other party … … Maybe even … … "
Robert didn't finish his sentence. After all, even a mountain could be turned into a crater out of thin air! The magician's battle prowess was so strong … … Then, making a few people disappear shouldn't be a big deal.
Robert's face was extremely ugly, but he was aware of his duty. After all, he was the highest-ranking leader among all of them. He couldn't let his subordinates down. He gritted his teeth and said, "The situation might not be that bad. Maybe the young master escaped by himself, or maybe he was kidnapped by the magician. No matter what, the most important thing now is to find the young master! "
Knight immediately gave two orders. First, those who could still move were to immediately search around. Second, immediately send someone back to Rollin Plain Castle in Kete Province to deliver a message!
The situation was already beyond the control of Knight and the rest.
Where was the young master now?
This question was on everyone's mind.
Then, what was Du Wei doing now?
… …
Du Wei was doing something that he had never even dreamed of before.
He was … … riding a dragon!
Riding on the back of a dragon, flying in the sky! The surrounding wind was so strong that he could barely open his eyes. He could only use his clothes to wrap around his head. Both of his hands grabbed the protruding scales on the dragon's back. Looking at the huge monster flying through the clouds, under his feet was the vast sea of clouds ….. This feeling made Du-Wei want to shout out in excitement!
"P-p-p-please don't hold onto its scales, okay?" Vivian's pitiful voice came from the side. The female magician was lying weakly on the dragon's back, her body pressed tightly against the dragon's back. Her delicate little face was already as white as paper, and she looked extremely weak. Seeing Du Wei holding onto her dragon's scales, the female magician couldn't help but feel her heart ache. "I-i-it won't be happy. Dragons are prideful creatures. I-i-my Scorching Sun is still a child. I-i-it doesn't like other people holding onto its scales … …"
"If I don't hold onto its scales, where else can I hold onto?" Du Wei frowned. As soon as he opened his mouth, the wind poured into his mouth, causing him to choke and cough. He quickly lowered his head and turned to look at the female magician. "The wind is so strong. If we don't find a place to hold onto it, what if we fall?"
Du Wei said hatefully, "It's fine if you don't want to hold onto its scales. Let's get rid of your scary sister first. When we get to a safe place, I'll make a rein for it."
Rein?
Almighty God! Have mercy on poor little Vivian... and on this dreadful creature as well.
Putting a rein on a dragon … … God, does he think that dragons are creatures that can be ridden casually?
At this time, the red Megalosaurus suddenly let out a sad cry … …
Du Wei was shocked and shouted, "Oh no, your dragon seems to be dying!"
Vivian was also upset. "It's still a young dragon under the hot sun. It, it, it was just injured, and now it has to carry two people on its back. It, it, it … …"
This red Megalosaurus had a ghastly wound on its left wing. This wound made it difficult for the dragon to flap its wings when it was flying. As it flew, its body couldn't help but tilt to one side.
"Quickly think of a way!" Du Wei shouted. "Otherwise, the two of us will fall to our deaths."
"I, I, I, I've been blackmailed by you! I, I, I don't have a way … … "Vivian was so scared that she couldn't speak. Tears welled up in her big eyes and she suddenly burst into tears.
"Wah!!! The outside world is so scary! Teacher! Teacher, please come and save me! I want my mother, I want my father! Come and save poor little Vivian!! "
Eh? She's not stuttering when she's crying?!
Du Wei was so angry at this silly girl that he almost fell off the dragon's back! At this time, she was crying like a child, calling for her father and mother!
He scolded a few times with a sullen face, but at this time, the dragon under him finally couldn't take it anymore.
It had fought fiercely for half the night and had exhausted almost all of its magic. In the end, it was seriously injured. It had carried its master for so long, carried two people on its back, and its wings were badly injured. Now, it was at its limit.
With a sorrowful cry, Du-Wei felt his body suddenly sink! This Megalosaurus had fallen from mid-air … …
"Damn it! Quickly think of a way! Your dragon can't take it anymore!! "
"Wah … … Father! Mother!! Mother … … "
"Don't cry! We're going to fall to our deaths if you keep crying!! "
"Wah … … Mother … … Quickly come and save poor little Vivian … …"
