"Stop! Don't come any closer! "
The soldiers on the city wall roared. At this moment, the strange people carrying the boxes in front of the city gate were crying as they were forced to move forward.
"Help! Help! Ahhh!"
The four of them cried out in despair. Their feet and backs were soaked in blood, and every step they took was accompanied by the sound of chains. The boxes they were carrying were the things that the soldiers were afraid of. They were afraid that the boxes contained explosives, and if they got too close to the city wall, they might cause danger to the city wall.
"Stop! Don't come any closer! We'll attack if you take another step! "
Hundreds of nervous soldiers raised their magic guns and aimed at the four pitiful slaves. They looked up in despair and could not speak because of fear. They could only shake their heads desperately. Their legs were trembling badly.
Just as the general shouted to fire and the soldiers were about to pull the trigger, a loud voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait."
Everyone looked up and saw an old man in a white robe appear on the city wall. Behind him was General Xia Long and the others.
"It's the War God!"
"The War God is here!"
The soldiers' morale was suddenly boosted. An Mihu looked down and whispered, "Give me a sword."
Hearing this, General Xia Long immediately pulled out the sword at his waist and held it with both hands.
Suddenly, An Mihu took the sword and threw it. The sword in his hand suddenly flew out and danced as if it was alive. In an instant, it came to the four people carrying the boxes. After a few rounds, the shackles on the slaves broke and the flying sword returned to An Mihu's hand.
"Let them in."
"But … But …"
"It's okay, I guarantee it with my head."
An Mihu said as he returned the sword to General Xia Long.
General Xia Long's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He trembled as he took the sword.
"No, Sir An Mihu, you can't do this! Open the door and save them! "
He turned around and shouted to the soldiers.
Following the rumbling sound of the door opening, the shady city gate lit up.
As soon as the four dying slaves stepped through the gate, they collapsed on the ground. Before General Xia Long could ask them what was in the box, they lost consciousness. Many soldiers surrounded the box with shields. The generals didn't dare to get close. Other than General Xia Long and Military God Amihu, the other officers all retreated far away.
Only a few Anti-Magic Sorcerers, who were wearing heavy clothes, were holding a few strange magic tools and checking around the box. They turned around and made a gesture, indicating that there were no traces of magic.
After that, General Xia Long took a helmet from one of the strategists and cautiously approached.
What was in that wooden box?
He was also afraid that the box would explode if he opened it, or something even more terrifying, such as evil magic, but he trusted his subordinates. So, he put his hand on the box, and with a little force, he opened it.
The box was not locked. Instead, it was easily opened. When General Xia Long saw the contents of the box through a crack, his eyes widened. Although his face was covered by his helmet, one could tell from his eyes that he was in shock at the moment.
"An Mi Hu Da! Milord … this! Me! "
General Xia Long actually stuttered. An Mihu's expression was cold as he said, "Open it."
Hearing this, General Xia Long lowered his head and opened the box with trembling hands.
It was hard to imagine that a camp of close to two hundred thousand people would be completely silent in a minute.
Inside the box was a human head.
It was An Luo the Hero's.
General Xia Long slowly took off his helmet and lowered his head. He didn't know how to face An Mihu. He didn't know.
He only knew that An Mihu's direct descendants had been cut off.
The legacy of the Hero Clan had disappeared. No one could borrow his sword anymore.
Everyone took off their hats and mourned. This was a dark moment for mankind.
An Mihu's expression didn't change, as if nothing had happened. He glanced at the box and then turned his head.
"Let's bury him here."
That was all he said. Then, he turned around and left in front of countless people.
…
Reina's training continued. After Lilith's "patient" teaching, she finally learned the difference between Qinghuification, Qinghuification, and Energization. She was also able to use them individually. Of course, it took an entire day.
During dinner, Lilith kept sighing. She looked tired. Even though she was a magician, she wouldn't lose to most warriors in terms of physical strength.
Linnai also knew that the reason why the other party sighed was because she was too stupid. Thus, she shrugged her shoulders and weakly shrunk to the side, as if she had no appetite. She revealed a sullen expression.
"Is it not tasty?"
Suddenly, Linchad walked to Reina's side and asked. She looked up and squinted at the man whose face was covered by ink. She then shook her head and looked down at her bowl.
"Um … No, I just don't have an appetite."
Seeing her like this, Linchad didn't need to guess to know what she was thinking.
"I suggest you eat more. Today is just a test. The training will be much more difficult than this."
"Okay …"
Reina said weakly.
Then, Linchad glanced at Lilith and Greer. The two tacitly followed him and left the camp.
"How's the investigation?"
"Just as Linchad said, this forest is very dangerous. It doesn't conform to the normal forest system. There are too many monsters."
Greer frowned.
Lilith was worried. "Although I've heard rumors about the Dark Forest, there aren't many records about it. I remember that the elves planned to cast some kind of large-scale magic here, but it failed and led to a disaster. Perhaps it was because of that disaster that this place was polluted by some kind of terrible magic."
Magic pollution was a terrible disaster. Until now, humans hadn't figured out how natural magic affected the real world, but they did find out that there was a terrible magic in nature. It was different from normal magic in that it couldn't be used. After it was absorbed into the body, it would remain in the body and it would take a long time to expel it.
Moreover, what was even more frightening was that if this kind of magic accumulated too much, it would cause danger to one's life. Even if one survived, being in an environment contaminated by magic for a long time would cause changes to one's body and many terrifying diseases. This terrible magic power was called 'Gray' by humans.
"Ah! Then we're in danger! "
Greer said with lingering fear. He had gone deep into the forest and didn't know how much gray he had inhaled.
"Don't worry. If this magic pollution had lasted until now, I can guarantee that thousands of kilometers away would be covered in gray."
Lilith crossed her arms in front of her and said with her eyes closed.
Linchad rubbed his chin. "No, that's not it. The forest absorbed the magic and the creatures here are probably the same. They've been polluted by the gray."
"No wonder there are such terrifying treants. But those treants are fine, but I think I saw something incredible."
Greer's brows furrowed.
"What?"
"I saw a figure in the deepest part of the forest, in a place suspected to be an elven ruin."
"A figure? Could it be an elf? "Lilith was shocked.
"I'm not sure. This forest is pitch black and it's hard to see clearly. We were attacked in the next second. I almost couldn't make it back," Greer complained.
"Even so, you still want to bring that little girl?"
Lilith ignored Greer. She frowned and looked at Linchad worriedly.
"Yes, even if I stopped her, she would've barged in by herself."
Linchad said.
Lilith smiled bitterly, thinking that he really cared about this little girl.
…
The next morning, Reina showed up at the training ground with a face full of energy. She rolled up her sleeves and her eyebrows were almost knitted together.
"I must complete the training today!"
She said to herself. Then she put her hands on the basin of water. Soon, the water in the basin was frozen.
"Hey! Why did you release magic again? "
Linnai hurriedly retracted her hand. At this moment, Lilith walked over from behind her. Linnai hurriedly used her body to block the basin of water. Then, some sparks appeared on her fingertips and began to melt the water in the basin.
"Morning, morning, morning! Sister Lilith! "
She greeted awkwardly. Lilith saw the sparks behind her butt and knew what she had done. She then took a deep breath and said, "Don't practice this today."
Hearing this, Reina was stunned. "But I haven't completely mastered it yet."
"The three major changes of magic are the basics. You need to practice more in the future. Today, you have to learn something new and try to learn it in three days," Lilith said.
Lilith said, but there was no confidence in her tone because what she was about to teach her was very difficult and different from the basics. Not only did it require extremely high magic control, but it also required a high degree of focus and a deep understanding of the changes in magic power.
Even Lilith, who had studied magic for 17 years, spent almost half a month on her first try. For a little girl who knew a little bit of magic to learn it in three days? How was that possible?
But this was Linchad's request. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and teach. Anyway, she had already gotten over it. Let fate take its course.
"Hmph! Watch and listen carefully. I'll demonstrate and talk at the same time. Focus. "
Lilith sat on a rock like a teacher, and Reina sat cross-legged in front of her in a strange manner.
Lilith stretched out her hands and said, "First, release magic. Not too much, just a little bit will be enough."
Reina watched carefully. Her eyes almost became cross-eyed. She saw a small ball of magic float out of Lilith's right hand and turn into a ball no bigger than her little finger.
"Then, energize, which is to use Fireball."
The ball of magic suddenly lit up and burned fiercely.
"Immediately cover it with a layer of magic and turn it into a substance that can resist magic."
In an instant, a glass ball with flames burning inside appeared.
"Energization of magic is different from ordinary burning. As long as there is magic, the flames will not disappear. You have to keep the flames burning. Then, energize the magic and compress them. "
Lilith frowned slightly. She saw that the glass shrunk, and for some reason, the flames inside suddenly became brighter.
"Make it as small as possible. Then, cover it with a layer of magic and ignite it."
The glass ball turned into a fireball, but this fireball was different. It was even hotter and had the sound of boiling water.
Lilith continued her demonstration. She turned the fireball into a glass ball and compressed it again. As the compression increased, the sound became sharper.
"This is a great test of control over magic. The more layers there are, the more difficult it is. I can barely reach the sixth layer now."
As she spoke, she wiped the sweat off her forehead. A white ball of light the size of a basketball appeared in her hand, emitting terrifying heat waves.
"This way of layering magic is called a tower. Layering can not only double the power of magic, but it can also apply multiple elemental attacks at once. If it can be used flexibly, it can break any magic shield. Most terrifyingly, it has a strong anti-interference ability. "
As Lilith spoke, she couldn't help but admire the inventor of this method of magic. It was Lynchard, who had an amazing understanding of magic.
"Awesome!"
Reina clapped her hands and said.
"But there are also drawbacks. It can't be used quickly, but once it's used, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the enemy."
With that, Lilith turned around and waved her hand. The ball of light flew out at an extremely fast speed.
Boom!!!
In that instant, a flaming rose appeared in the forest. Raging flames soared into the sky, but the strange thing was that the forest was not set ablaze by the flames. Instead, the flames disappeared in an instant, leaving only a large crater in the ground.
"That's about it. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."
Lilith clapped her hands and turned around to take a look.
Suddenly, she felt a burning sensation on her back. She looked back carefully and saw a fist-sized ball of light appear between Reina's hands. She looked down at the ball of light as if she was very serious. Then, she looked up and giggled at Lilith.
"I think I know how to do it!"
She said with a silly smile, still looking embarrassed.
Lilith's eyes widened. Judging from the changes in the light, she had at least four layers. What's going on? She was dumbfounded.
"This!! This?! "
She was a little confused. She was so shocked that she couldn't even speak properly. This feeling was like a primitive person in the New Stone Age who saw an alien flying an airship.
Could such a thing really happen?
Lilith was stunned. She had trained hard for half a month to reach the third level of a skill, but this white-haired little girl learned it just by looking at it once?!
"Hehe, hehe, no, I'm definitely dreaming. No, I'm hallucinating."
She covered her eyes and couldn't accept it.
At this time, Rinchad, who was preparing to make lunch in the camp, suddenly found a small green ball on the ground. He bent down and picked it up. It was a leaf. He turned around and found that it was in front of Reina's tent. It seemed that she was still practicing the leaf training method.
Rinchad smiled and shook his head. He was surprised that this little girl still remembered this training. She had already met his requirements.
However, just as he was about to throw the leaf away, he felt that there was something wrong with the weight of the leaf. He opened it to take a look and found that the inside was actually solid. It was full of these round leaves, and he didn't know how many layers it had been stacked …
