Advent of the Archmage

Chapter 168: Has genius been ruined?

Views:

On the King's Road, Ailette was heartbroken, holding Elena's body, and fell into endless pain.

Seeing his friend in this state, Link was also very troubled. As for the coachman, he shrank in the corner, too frightened to move.

Although he said he didn't dare to move, he was the only one among the three present who stayed out of the matter completely. Apart from a little fear in his heart, he was calm.

His eyes turned back and forth between the corpses of Link, Elette, and Elena, and suddenly, he vaguely saw a faint light flashing on Elena's body, and the light quickly flashed between Elena's chest and abdomen. It circled around and then disappeared.

This speed was very fast, in the blink of an eye, the coachman rubbed his eyes and looked at Elena again, but there was no light, it was still just a corpse covered in blood.

The coachman was surprised. He wanted to tell Link about this, but then he suppressed the impulse in his heart: "These magicians beat and killed when they disagreed. It's terrible. I'd better not get involved." good. '

At this time, Link was shocked by Elena's determination, and Ailette was still in the carriage, so Link didn't notice any abnormalities. As for Ailette, he was completely stunned, and his observation ability was equal to zero.

The coachman only saw it for a moment, he didn't realize that the light cluster on Elena's body had floated to the back of the carriage, this cluster of light was very dim, like a highly transparent glass ball, it was less than the size of a thumb, it Carefully avoiding Link's sight, he drifted slowly into the woods beside him.

It kept floating, kept floating, and when it floated more than a hundred meters, its speed suddenly increased by more than ten times, and it suddenly became extremely fast. It moved forward in the Gwent forest almost in a straight line.

I don't know how long it took before a farm appeared in front of it, and there was a beautiful manor in the center of the farm, which should be the property of a small nobleman.

The scale of the farm is small, there are about 30 families and more than 1,000 mu of land. In the farmland around the village, you can see many farmers working hard. Under a big tree in the northwest corner of the farm, there is a A simple cemetery surrounded by wooden fences.

There were more than a dozen people gathered in the cemetery, and on the ground beside it was the corpse of a young woman with a pale face. A man threw himself on the woman and cried to death. From the sound of his crying, it could be heard that the woman was his. His wife died due to dystocia, and two farmers beside him were digging a pit, obviously preparing to bury the woman.

The woman had been dead for at most one day, because it was cold winter, so her body still looked very fresh, and she still had some potential vitality.

Seeing this scene, the dim ball of light accelerated and rushed into the young woman's corpse.

The man was crying while hugging his wife's corpse just now, but at the next moment, he suddenly let go of his dead wife as if he had seen a ghost. He looked at the corpse in front of him in astonishment, speechless in a daze.

"What's the matter, Joseph?" Someone next to him asked.

"Lisa seemed to move a little bit just now." The person who was called Joseph became a little uncertain. At this moment, his wife's body didn't move again. He suspected that it was just an illusion.

"Don't be too sad, Joseph, Lisa has returned to heaven." Someone comforted.

Joseph hummed, but his eyes were still fixed on his wife's body. At this moment, his wife's body moved again, and her chest began to rise and fall slightly.

This time, Joseph was convinced that he was right. Surprised and delighted, he hurriedly bent down, lying on his wife's heart and listening.

'Bang~bang~bang~' He heard the heartbeat, although it was faint, but it was very clear!

At this moment, Joseph was ecstatic, and he shouted: "No, no, no, Lisa is not dead, she is still alive, she has come back to life, oh, glorious master, I thank you, thank you for your kindness!"

How can a dead person be resurrected? Everyone around thought Joseph was crazy, and they all looked at him with pity.

But at this time, the signs of Lisa's revival became more and more obvious, her breathing became obvious, and she coughed slightly... Now no one doubted Joseph's words.

"Oh my God, Lisa is alive again."

"But I clearly saw her dying!" A middle-aged woman said in horror. She is a midwife. She has been delivering babies for so many years, and she has never seen a woman who died of dystocia come back to life!

"This must be a gift from the Lord of Radiance! He was moved by Joseph's affection." This is a panacea explanation, but in this world where there are true gods, it is particularly convincing, and everyone around them nodded in agreement. .

Finally, an old man came out. He was Joseph's father. He said, "Okay, Joseph, although Lisa is alive, she is very weak. Carry her home quickly!"

"Good! Good!" Joseph was ecstatic, as if infinite strength was born in his body, he picked up Lisa and ran for a while.

In his arms, Elena sighed lightly: "Master's magic is really powerful... It's just that this body is too damaged, and she is still an ordinary village woman. She is bound too tightly on weekdays. If she wants to leave here, she must It takes a lot of work. '

She began to recall her own memories. After Elena's body died, her soul escaped. Under the eyes of the soul, she took a closer look at the contents of the scroll.

The soul is the true state of a life, and it has the ability to faithfully record the information of the objective world. In other words, it can have a photographic memory.

Eileen thought about it carefully, and the contents on the scroll emerged in her mind, every detail was exceptionally clear, without the slightest ambiguity, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Very good, Although it was a bit more dangerous this time, I managed to complete the task, and more importantly, I also destroyed a genius magician in Glory World, which made me a lot of money."

With Ellette's cleverness, he would definitely think that I wanted to die on purpose. He would definitely be heartbroken, and he might even be decadent. And he was just 18 years old. This is the golden age for a person to learn magic. If he is decadent for a few years, His future magical achievements will definitely be greatly reduced, and it can be regarded as a big enemy for the master's career.

There is even a possibility that he may hate Link because of this. If this happens, Elena feels like she will wake up laughing from a dream.

'It's perfect. "Eileen is very proud, but I feel sorry for Ellette... No, he is an enemy, there is nothing to be sorry for, yes, that's it, you must do everything you can to the enemy, no mercy, no kindness, this is the master's responsibility." teach!

Seeing that Ailette was as depressed as a log, Link could only sigh. It was not a problem to stay on the road like this. He turned to the coachman and said, "Go back to East Valley."

"Yes, Mr. Link." The coachman nodded hastily. Link's reputation resounds throughout East Valley College, and he also knows it.

The carriage turned around and started slowly.

Along the way, no one spoke, and it seemed that even the horses pulling the cart felt the oppressive atmosphere and tried to keep their footsteps as light as possible.

After returning to the Academy of Magic, the carriage finally stopped at the entrance of Verola Magic Tower. Link walked over and opened the door of the carriage. Elette numbly picked up Elena's blood-stained body and walked towards the Magic Tower without saying a word. .

After entering the magic tower, the magic apprentices in the hall on the first floor exclaimed in surprise when they saw this situation, not understanding what happened.

"My God, how did this happen?"

"What happened?"

"Irene just said that she was not feeling well, why..."

Ailette didn't listen, just carried Elena's body all the way to the stairs.

Such a thing happened in the magic tower, of course it is impossible for Verola not to know that when Ailette walked to the stairs, she also appeared at the stairs on the second floor.

"Ailette, what happened?" Verola looked at Elena, who was covered in blood and obviously dead, with a look of disbelief.

In her impression, Elena is a diligent and studious apprentice, and her talent is also very good. She is also very optimistic about her being with Ailette, thinking that the two of them will have a good story, but now...how did things turn out like this

Ailette didn't answer. He passed Verola with Elena's body in his arms. He didn't know why he did this. Happy house.

Verola didn't get an answer, so she looked at Link again: "What's going on?"

Link smiled wryly: "Teacher, I'll talk to you about this alone."

"Okay, you go to my room." Verola turned and walked towards the hall on the top floor, Link followed.

In the hall on the top floor, Link took out the memory crystal and activated it again, the images appeared, the conversation in the willow forest, and the suicide of the businessman on the king's road appeared one by one.

After reading it, Verola had a look of disbelief on her face: "Is this Elena?"

This is completely two extremes with the well-behaved and diligent Elena in her impression!

"If she doesn't have any siblings, she should be right." Link spread his hands, and the situation has evolved to this point. It seems that he has successfully stopped Elena, but somehow, Link always He just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"What do you know about the content of the scroll?" Verola didn't bother about Elena's personality. What she cares about now is the scroll, which is the key to the incident. She must know the content recorded on the scroll.

"I don't know either. But I guess, the scroll should be on Elena. When I intercepted her, she was about to run away. It's just that things are not easy to handle now that Elena is like this." Link can understand Elena Wright, in all fairness, would even go mad if he were swapped with Allett.

"What exactly happened to make Ailette become like this?" Verola also felt that Ailette was in a very bad state.

Link then narrated what happened on the King's Road, detailing everything, Verola listened carefully, and when she finished listening, she fell silent.

After a long time, she heaved a long sigh: "I don't know if Elena has true feelings for Ailette, but I know that after she did this, with Ailette's personality, it may be difficult to recover."

Ailette's character is sincere, generous, generous, and a little stubborn. Once the truth is touched, and the other party dies for him, I am afraid that he will be trapped in the whirlpool of self-blame and regret for the rest of his life.

In other words, such a magical genius is very likely to be ruined by Elena.

For some reason, after hearing Verola's words, Link's mind recalled the scene of the businessman willingly dying for Elena, and he suddenly felt chills.

The businessman was just an ordinary person, easily manipulated and applauded by Eileen, while Elette was a world-class talent, and the difficulty of controlling it was a hundred times higher than that of the businessman, so Eileen used the method of losing both sides.

It now appears that she succeeded.

Has this woman's ability to manipulate people's hearts come to this extent

So... is she dead? Link was a little uncertain.
