[Good luck in the Year of the Tiger, first update on the first day of the new year, please vote for tomorrow]
After the telescope was invented by the alchemist, it immediately became popular. wWw, qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo, COm However, ordinary telescopes can only observe a small area, and most nobles bought them out of curiosity.
However, in the army, alchemical telescopes are a must-have for scouts. High-end magic crossbows can also be equipped with expensive small alchemical telescopes, allowing magic crossbowmen to shoot targets from a mile away.
As soon as this function was developed, it was immediately banned by emperors and nobles of all countries. An archer needs to be at least an eighth-level professional to be able to do this, but a magic apprentice-turned-assassin can use this terrifying thing at the first level.
Magicians can sense the elemental fluctuations of alchemical telescopes, but ordinary nobles and royal families do not have this ability. This makes assassination easier.
Even the Holy See disapproved of the emergence of this kind of equipment. After that, the alchemy telescope could no longer be miniaturized and turned to large-scale development. It was installed on the city tower and could observe the detailed enemy situation several miles away.
Opening the door on the top floor of the tower, the passage here was already very narrow, and Sijia went to the top floor. The top floor of the tower is surrounded by spacious windows on all sides, but the window sills are very high, making it easy to defend against arrows shot from below.
In the middle of only a few square meters of ground, there is a platform over a foot high. There are complicated magic circles carved on the platform, but they don't need to be activated. Scarlett bent down, put her eyes in front of a pair of deep holes on the platform, and looked inside.
The sky above the castle has a panoramic view. Even though it is night, everything is still clearly visible in the alchemy telescope.
Sijia searched carefully. In the alchemy telescope, the full moon in the sky became even larger, and she could almost distinguish the patterns of the mountains above. The magicians on the continent of Mels believe that there is another continent on the moon, but it is too far away from the continent of Mels.
Just when Sijia was about to give up the search, a dark figure broke into her sight. Sijia shuddered. She saw a pair of huge wings, black feathers, two heads, and four eyes.
Double-headed eagle! Si Jia groaned and her feet felt a little weak. She gritted her teeth, held her hands on the ground, and stood up slowly. Outside the tower, the moonlight shone on the stone walls of the castle, coating the cold stone walls with a silvery glow. In this brilliance, there are traces of thin black lines hidden, as if there are countless cracks on the city wall.
Sijia didn't even know how she got down from the tower. Her mind was a little confused and she instinctively walked towards the restaurant. This matter must be reported to the Baron as soon as possible.
The tableware in the restaurant was removed and replaced with fruits and wine. When Baron Cook told a joke and made Aini laugh, Scarlett walked into the restaurant in despair.
"Scarlett?" Baron Cook immediately noticed something strange about Scarlett. She had never had such an expression since she became a swordsman at the age of sixteen. A talented swordsman girl, everyone in the imperial capital thought that she would become a sword master before the age of thirty. She had a character that was more resolute than men. How could this happen!
"Sir, I saw a double-headed eagle." Sijia felt like there was a fire being held in her chest, and she couldn't spit it out, and her voice became hoarse for a while.
There was silence in the restaurant for a while, except for Sika who held a pear and gnawed it heartlessly. The sound seemed extremely harsh. She couldn't understand Qin Yin's language, and even if Sijia told more shocking news, I'm afraid Sika wouldn't have any reaction.
"Lord Baron, I have to discuss it with Mr. Aini." Flamengo was the first to speak.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you in the study." Baron Cook stood up and left without saying hello to anyone, completely losing his grace.
There is a room next to the restaurant, which was originally a place where guests could arrive temporarily and wait for the host to finish their meal. The members of the Nut Mercenary Group, Aini and others entered the room and closed the door.
"Mr. Aini, Master Salin, I will definitely not be able to complete this mission." Flamingo said calmly, "However, we will continue to protect your safety."
Aini was a little irritable and did not speak. Salin said: "Flamingo, are you talking about black magic?"
"yes."
"Very serious?"
"I don't even know if I can survive." Flamengo replied calmly. If the legend about this place is true, then it can be said that he has fallen into a trap. If I hadn't come here to spend the night...
Salin still looked unhurried and calm, and he could not tell that he was just a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Aini, what are you going to do?" Salin looked at Aini.
Ani smiled bitterly and said: "What should we do? We can't just sit and wait for death."
"What if we leave now?" Salin had nothing to do with Baron Cook, and his first thought was to leave. Although Baron Cook was very lovable, Salin had no intention of dying for him.
"You can leave, but I can't. It's not because Baron Cook and I are friends. According to the laws of the empire, this happened. I have been recruited now and must assist the Baron in fighting." Flamingo said helplessly, He said seriously to Salin: "Master Salin, the appearance of the double-headed eagle proves that Black Sky Demon God has been resurrected. You are safer in the castle. If you leave the castle, you will be attacked at any time."
Salin stroked his gift ring and reasoned over and over in his mind. I am not familiar with Baron Cook's current situation. If I leave, Baron Cook may not tell the truth, and he may be treated as an outcast to test the enemy's strength. Aini will definitely not choose to leave. He, Sikka, and Nailis still don’t know what kind of enemies they will face.
"Okay, I'll stay." Salin thought about it and knew that Baron Cook would definitely welcome him to stay. Although he is only a first-level magician, if he relies on the castle to fight, the magician will exert greater power. It's a pity that I don't know how to refine the magic circle, otherwise I can turn this castle into an iron wall.
If you stay, your status will be immediately improved and you will be protected by all the swordsmen. If you leave, you will become cannon fodder. Does Saleen have a choice
After the discussion was completed, everyone opened the door. Flamingo said to the guard at the door: "Take us to see the Baron."
Baron Cook was pacing in the study and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone coming to his study. If Flamengo had to leave, there was no way he could keep him. Although imperial law stipulates that mercenaries must obey the orders of nobles in this situation, the question is, if it is a fatal mission, how many mercenaries are willing to abide by the law
The magician also stayed. Baron Cook laughed and asked the servants to bring in some chairs. After everyone sat down, he said: "Since everyone is staying to fight, I will tell you the cause and effect."
Salin was glad that this time it was more than just the appearance of a black magician. If he left rashly, he would definitely face unpredictable dangers.
"Everyone knows about black magic, right?" Baron Cook looked around at the people in the study. Sijia had returned to normal, the faces of the Nut Mercenary Group were as cold as iron, and Aini was thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking about. Salin sat upright, patiently waiting for his next words. That Caucasian female warrior…
Sika was eating melon seeds. When she just left the restaurant, she didn't forget to grab a handful of melon seeds and put them in her pocket.
Shika's warrior instinct is the strongest. She knows that what others are talking about must be a very bad thing, but she is just a warrior and protects Saleen. She doesn't need to think about other things.
For Caucasians, death is just a return to nature, not something too terrible. Therefore, the Caucasians are always the bravest warriors and will never desert.
Saleen knew what black magic was. If undead magic was only slightly discriminated against, then black magic was absolutely hated to the extreme. No country allows the existence of black magic. This may be the only point of view shared by the emperor of the Qin Empire and the pope of the Holy See.
The holy scriptures of the Holy See exclude necromancy, but there are still necromancers in the Inquisition. The emperor of the Qin Yin Empire did not allow necromancers to build magic towers, but he also granted immunity to necromancers.
However, if anyone dares to practice black magic, whether it is the Holy See or the Emperor, they will send powerful forces to destroy them.
Black magic is said to have originated from divine magic. Of course, the Vatican strongly rejects this statement. Magicians even refuse to admit that it is magic.
Magicians believe that the essence of black magic is not to use the power of elements, but to shape a void god through sacrifice and torture of the soul of life, thereby gaining mysterious power. In this case, black magic should belong to the category of divine magic.
However, the Holy See believes that neither the fallen goddess of nature nor the current Lord of Glory has ever abused living beings in this way, and there is no need for such sacrifices, so black magic should be witchcraft.
The profession of wizards has almost disappeared. If dirty water is poured on them, it will not cause any violent reaction.
Saleen knew, however, that black magic was just black magic and belonged to nothing else. This is just a cruel skill, so cruel that no one can accept it.
But none of this can deny the power of black magic.
If a magician has ordinary talent, it may take him a lifetime to advance to level four and become the lowest level of great magician. As long as a black magician obtains enough materials, he can quickly overcome level barriers and gain inhuman power.
The double-headed eagle is created by black magic. The bodies and souls of several monsters are forced into a container, and then burned continuously with black flames. These souls will kill each other in pain. The black magician uses a method similar to alchemy to reorganize the body of Warcraft to form a life that should not exist in this world.
The power of a black magician who can refine a double-headed eagle is absolutely terrifying. This proves that he can already create the Headless Horseman, the Abominable Dragon Beast, not to mention the overwhelming black puppets.
The double-headed eagle is the follower of the black magician. The place where it peeks is the place where the black magician wants to bloodbath. That's why the double-headed eagle is called the evil eagle.
