Chapter 244 "The Great Magician Who Doesn't Wear White Robe"
The sky was blue and there were a few white clouds floating in the sky. The wilderness under the sky was boundless. What was even rarer was that the wilderness beside Watt Fortress was covered in dense green grass that stretched for thousands of hectares. A strong gust of wind swept across the ground from the west, blowing the long grass towards the east. The blue color in the sky was getting thicker and thicker as if it was going to pour down. It blended with the green of the wilderness and flew towards the east.
Unfortunately, under such beautiful scenery, there was an extremely tragic tragedy that made one's hair stand on end.
In the forest, a panting figure was running with all her might. Her calves were covered with cuts from the thorns in the forest. Her originally young and beautiful face was filled with shock and fear. Hearing the sound of hooves approaching from behind, the girl suddenly let out a low cry. She tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
At this time, the sound of hooves behind her had arrived. Two light armored cavalrymen from the Northwest approached the weak prey with a sneer on their faces. Suddenly, two lassos were thrown from both sides. It was like a person tying up a sheep on the grassland. The two lassos quickly wrapped around the girl's wrists. The cavalrymen on both sides pulled the lassos tightly. With a scream, the girl was pulled into the air. Her calves kicked with all their might but how could she break free?
The sound of hooves behind her was heard again. Then, she heard a thunderous voice with a sinister laugh. "Good. Good job."
As he spoke, a huge man dressed in hunting attire galloped over from behind. He was riding on the horse, but he raised his lance up high. He took the lead and charged towards the girl who was tied up in the air. With a wave of his lance, the girl's shoulder was pierced through by the lance. Then, a sinister laugh could be heard from the man.
The pitiful prey was lifted up by the lance in his hand. Then, she fell heavily to the ground. With a muffled sound, she was no longer alive.
Du Wei and Hussain followed behind him. Seeing this scene, Hussain was after all a Paladin. Although he had become a traitor of the Shrines, it was mostly due to the deviation of his beliefs. However, he did not completely lose his integrity as a Knight. Seeing such a tragedy happening in front of him, Paladin could not help but feel angry. He looked at the big man who was laughing wildly and could not help but reveal a murderous look.
Du Wei held Hussain down and silently shook his head.
"Why?" Hussain asked coldly.
"You can't save them. We can't save them." Du Wei lowered his voice: "These girls will die no matter what. Even if they don't die here today, they will die in prison.
As soon as his voice fell, a chuckle came from behind: "Your Excellency the Duke is walking so fast."
Cybuster had already caught up to them. Pulling on the reins, he smiled: "What's wrong? Your Excellency the Duke is still empty-handed?"
Du Wei raised an eyebrow: "I'm a guest, I don't dare to steal the limelight."
"Your Excellency, there's no need to be polite." Cybuster suddenly tilted his head and smiled: "There's movement in front, let's go take a look!"
Finished speaking, he kicked his horse's belly and rushed forward. Du Wei looked at his back for a moment before following along with Hussain.
•
The forest was very deep, and since it was early summer, the grass and leaves were quite dense. Cybuster took the lead and looked into the deep forest. Suddenly, he jumped down from his horse and carefully examined the footprints on the ground. He smiled: "Humph, these two prey are smart, they actually learned how to hide."
Finished speaking, he jumped on his horse and whistled. Immediately, several riders came running from all directions.
"Carefully search the underbrush, these little guys are hiding in the underbrush. Chase them out for me."
The riders obeyed the order and left. Du Wei and Cybuster continued forward, watching the riders wave their lances and hit the underbrush. Sure enough, not long after, a cry of pain was heard and a delicate figure ran out from the underbrush. Her shoulder was covered in blood.
Cybuster's lips curled into a sneer as he looked at the stumbling woman. He slowly took out his bow and released an arrow. Behind him, a cold snort could be heard as Hossein pulled out his sword. With a whoosh, a flash of light shot out from his hand and reached the woman first!
With a cracking sound, Cybuster's arrow was cut in half and fell to the ground.
Without uttering a single word, Hossein suddenly leaped over the horse and charged forward. In just a moment, he had reached the girl's side. Bending down slightly, he picked up the girl from the ground. Ignoring her struggles, he tossed her onto the saddle. The girl was about to cry out in alarm when Hossein gently jabbed out with his finger, knocking out the poor prey.
Cybuster didn't get angry after his arrow was shot down. Instead, he gave Hussain a deep look before turning to Du Wei: "Your Excellency the Duke, your follower is very skilled."
Du Wei chuckled: "Young General, your archery isn't bad either."
The two exchanged glances and sparks seemed to fly. Only then did the young general let out a long laugh. Ignoring Du Wei and the girl, he rode away.
Du Wei quietly looked at the back of the young general and frowned. Then he whispered to Hussain: "You …"
"I can't stand it." Hussain lightly said: "Saving as many as we can is one. Knight's weapon is not used to slaughter innocent civilians. "
Du Wei was speechless. He knew he couldn't stop Hussain. If this Paladin really wants to do something, I'm afraid I can't stop him.
Inside the forest, General Rugaard's subordinates had already rushed in with their cavalry. They spread out and carefully searched for the "prey". The forest was filled with the sound of hooves and shouts. From time to time, the screams of the girls who didn't manage to escape could be heard.
Du Wei's face became more and more gloomy. Although he wasn't a good person, but he still couldn't stand such a tyrannical thing. Just as he was about to say something, Du Wei's eyes suddenly lit up!
In the distance ahead, in the direction that the Young General had gone, there was a strong magical fluctuation! The magic fluctuation carried with it an undisguised dark aura. It's clearly … the work of a magician?
In the distance, a few mournful screams could be heard. Du Wei glanced at Hussain: "Let's go and take a look!"
•
By the time Du-Wei and Hussein arrived at the scene, the scene in front of them could be described as strange!
In the middle of the huge forest, there was a thick cloud of black gas. Inside this black gas, there seemed to be something viscous floating in the air. Du Wei immediately frowned when he saw what it was. This was clearly the aura of death created by a necromancer! Looking at the degree of stickiness, who knows how many creatures were refined in it!
In the middle of the thick black gas, a naked girl's hands and feet were bound by countless black gas. She was suspended in the air, her body in the shape of the Chinese character "大". The girl's delicate body was completely exposed to Du Wei and the others. She seemed to have fainted, her head drooping weakly. Her black hair covered her face and only a weak breath could be heard.
Beside him, a black figure was standing on a branch of a big tree in the distance. He was wearing a pure black magician's robe and a pointed hat, revealing a pale face. There was a horrifying smile at the corner of his mouth. He was holding a black crystal ball in one hand and mumbling something in his mouth.
Suddenly, a black tentacle that could be seen with the naked eye formed from the black gas. It drilled into the girl's mouth and nose. Then, a faint transparent thing seemed to be pulled out by the black gas.
Du Wei immediately recognized that this was the necromancer. He was extracting the life force of the girl and refining it into the death energy required by necromancers.
Not far from the field, Major General Cybuster stood on his horse and coldly observed the necromancer's actions. Although he sensed Du Wei's arrival, he didn't speak and only glanced at Du Wei.
The naked girl wrapped in black gas suddenly groaned in pain. Then, at a frightening speed visible to the naked eye, her originally youthful and full body suddenly shriveled up! Her originally blood-red skin began to wither and age bit by bit, as if the flesh and blood under her skin were being extracted. Not long after, her delicate and beautiful body was almost sucked dry!
Seeing this, Du Wei's heart was shocked and angry. He couldn't help but shout: "What nerve! Don't you know that using necromancy magic to kill a living being is a violation of the Magician's Guild's First Commandment! "
Finished speaking, Du Wei sneered. He raised his hand and quickly chanted an incantation. Two ripples of holy light emitted from his sleeves and immediately dispersed the black gas. Seeing this, the necromancer suddenly spoke in a sinister voice: "Since you are also a magician, don't you know that disturbing someone while they are casting spells is equivalent to inviting a duel?!"
After saying that, the black magician suddenly waved his sleeve, and an even more intense black gas was emitted. The pitiful girl instantly turned into a pink skeleton, and then floated into the black magician's sleeve. The black gas that filled the sky was also sucked into the black crystal ball in his palm.
Du Wei knew that this pitiful girl had already died when he arrived. At this moment, all the life force in her body had been sucked dry … … What's even more hateful was that this necromancer's methods were extremely vicious. Not only did he suck out her life force, he also didn't let go of her body and collected the remaining bones. Obviously, he planned to refine them into skeleton soldiers or other undead creatures.
The necromancer withdrew the black gas that filled the sky and floated down from the tree branch. Standing not far from Du Wei, his voice was full of arrogance: "Hmph, are you also a magician? Why did you disturb me when I was casting spells! "
Du Wei laughed: "You killed a living being without permission to refine undead energy, aren't you afraid of the Magician's Enforcers? Have you forgotten the 'First Commandment'? "
Speaking of the "Magician's Enforcers", those black clothed monsters were the most feared thing on the continent. The necromancer couldn't help but tremble and immediately shouted: "Nonsense! Of course I know the First Commandment! However, I am a necromancer recognized by the Magician's Guild! I am not a necromancer like you said! As for the girl I sucked … … Hmph, her life belongs to General Rugaard. General Rugaard has already sentenced them to death. As long as General Rugaard doesn't pursue the matter, it doesn't count as violating the First Commandment! "
At the side, Cybuster suddenly used an indifferent voice to say: "You two don't need to misunderstand. Let me introduce you. " Then he pointed to Du Wei and smiled: "This is the famous Duke of the Tulip Family, Du Wei -Rudolph, the last disciple of Grand Magus Gandorf. He shined during the coup d 'état in the capital, is a member of the Magic Academy, a member of the Magic Society, and built a city in the Northwest in just three months … … With all these legendary experiences, I'm sure no magician would not have heard of this name."
After the introduction, the necromancer suddenly stared at Du Wei with a strange expression: "You are the Duke of the Tulip Family? Rumor has it that you are the continent's strongest pharmacist … … Hmph, pharmacist? What a joke … … "
Du Wei didn't get angry and only looked at Cybuster: "Young General, this is?"
"This is the chief magic consultant hired by the Northwest Legion, an eighth level magician from the Roland Continent's Magician's Guild, Master Tartaglia … … He is also the continent's only 'Grand Magician' who doesn't wear a white robe! As for the reason, Your Grace, as you can see, Master Tartaglia is a necromancer! "
(I still have one more chapter tonight, so I'm working on it … …)
(PS: Some readers are saying that I've been slowing down recently, but that's not true. For the past three days, I've been updating at least 8000 words a day. Even if I took a day off the day before yesterday, I would still make up for it the next day. As for why I haven't been updating more than 10,000 words a day … … My explanation is: I'm a human, not a machine. For more than a month, I've been updating more than 10,000 words a day, so I can't keep it up. I need to catch my breath and slow down a bit to maintain my speed at around 8000 words. After a few days of rest, I can increase my speed again, right? Even if I'm an old cow, I still need to eat some grass before I can continue working … …
Long live understanding ~)
