The soldiers were thrown into confusion by the sudden darkness before their eyes.
In the darkness, the head maid who had also been hit could be heard shouting in frustration:
"Priscilla?!"
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to continue working with the royal family - my magic has taken effect on everyone, so you can fight on your own."
The witch shrugged and looked at the head maid who could not tell the direction at all due to the influence of the black fog. She murmured a magic spell of teleportation, and the destination of the teleportation was exactly where Saint Cecilia was.
Chapter 11: Roman's trump card went 8K -3
To be honest, when Priscilla successfully released the magic of the night, Yang Hao's first thought was to quickly let the machine gun shoot at the door while buying time to kill Priscilla -
Because as far as he knew, if Priscilla was releasing her night magic specifically targeting them, then she would inevitably appear within the gate's range.
One of the awkward aspects of night magic is that when a spellcaster intends to "target" a certain target, she must "see" where the target is.
In the current situation, the Witch of Night can only cast magic specifically targeting Yang Hao and others after seeing their situation.
The Gappa 1405 machine gun has the ability to shoot continuously in the dark and kill the witch who fails to leave.
But the problem was that Yang Hao did not rashly order the machine gunner to shoot, only because he noticed that the Roman soldiers outside were also in chaos.
What is going on
"Your Majesty, what should we do?!"
The elves sought Yang Hao's advice in the darkness, but what came from the door was the screams of the Roman soldiers trampling on each other in panic. After Yang Hao pondered for a while, he came to a conclusion:
Priscilla did indeed unleash the magic of the night upon them.
But this crazy woman is unleashing indiscriminate night magic that works on everyone? !
In other words, the Romans are now in the same blinding stage as himself.
But our side has the advantage of guarding the only entrance and exit. In other words, this is very likely done intentionally by Priscilla... But why did she do this
Yang Hao fell into deep thought. At this moment, he realized that the dark magic released by the witch seemed to be something he had seen before...
(I remember, it should be like this...)
“Everything for victory.”
He murmured, and as he chanted the words, the spell was lifted.
The light returned to him again. He could see that the elves did not panic in the darkness but held their breath and continued to aim roughly in the direction of the gate. Through the hole in the gate, he could see countless soldiers outside dancing in disorder and trampling on each other.
If he opened fire at this moment, it would definitely cause heavy casualties to the enemy. However, the machine gun did not have much ammunition, so Yang Hao had to save it for the most difficult times.
In this situation, what Yang Hao had to do was actually very simple - he whispered to the elves the command that could lift the dark vision, allowing the elves to see the light again, and then he looked for the backdoor program left behind by the Witch of Night.
Soon, he found it. It was a message left by the Night Witch for him, and if nothing unexpected happened, only he could see it. Although he didn't know what the witch's goal was, she helped him at the moment.
Let's just wait and see what the witch is going to say.
Yang Hao frowned and chanted the spell again. As he chanted the spell, a familiar figure appeared in front of Yang Hao in the form of a phantom.
"Although you may think I'm hypocritical, I just want to apologize for what happened that day." The witch said, "I don't expect you to forgive me. In fact, I have already seen my own nature. Although I also know that this may just be my self-satisfaction, after all... I still want to tell you.
Maybe if I had spoken up, we would still have a future. But now there is no future between us anymore.
I know this very well, and I also know that you will live a better life with the nun... Although it still sounds hypocritical, please accept my blessing for you.
Enough of the formalities. The large-scale night magic I cast can plunge most people into darkness for nearly 30 minutes.
The teleportation magic you cast should be enough to get you out in this time -
Since you are sure you can get out, why not listen to my opinion about a strange servant of Prince Gassen
Just treat this as a bargaining chip for the future. Anyway, I have already planned to become a profit-seeking person without any affiliation, and facing my true self makes me feel much better than I imagined.
Of course, you can also turn off the magic right now. You know the spell."
The image of the Night Witch fell silent, and Yang Hao frowned. After realizing that the Night Witch had chosen the path of pursuing the "essence", he felt that this might be a very easy and comfortable new path for the witch.
After all, she chose to pursue profit. She didn't care about the pressure of "betrayal" or whether she could make further progress in magic research in the future.
If Yang Hao had to come up with a suitable analogy, her mental journey at this moment was actually similar to that of the young people on Earth who were giving up.
Since you have done things so badly, you might as well just let it go and indulge your inner restlessness to do what you want to do - anyway, no matter how hard you try, you won't get any results, right
Yang Hao didn’t know what the witch was thinking, but it was indeed a good thing that the Roman Empire lost the witch.
And then again... some strange attendant of Garson's
(It's impossible that he has awakened some strange fetish? As far as I remember, he only likes women...)
Yang Hao's face turned green, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue listening.
But after looking at the movements of the elves, and then at Natalia and the well-behaved little Anna in her arms, he decided to continue listening while the enemy was blind.
Soon, the Night Witch began to explain. During the explanation, Yang Hao learned some incredible news...
“Since Prince Gassen hired a servant from the parish, he has been living an even more luxurious life day after day.
I observed that servant, and finally I found that the servant might not be a "human" at all...
It has an excessive amount of magic residue, and it hides that magic residue perfectly—
You have to know that we normal humans cannot make use of magic residues, let alone inject them into the body, not even I can do it.
So I suspect that Garsen's recent changes are related to that servant... But the servant did not clearly show any strange symptoms -
He tempted Garson to do more extravagant things, but he had no intention of asking Garson to give up his power.
Sometimes he would look at Gassen, who was immersed in pleasure, with extremely disgust, look at the coffin of the late emperor with eyes of appreciation and regret, and look at the empress with eyes full of appetite. In short, he was an abnormal thing, but he was not something that humans could understand.
I once tried to use magic to check his room. There was a lot of food in the corner of his room-
He never ate those things, but would process them with special "magic residue" at intervals...
He seemed to have known that I was watching, but he never stopped me... It was probably because he knew exactly what choice I would make in the end.
All in all, the Servant is a problematic person. He can use the residual magic power, and he is more like a humanoid monster than a human.
Besides that, Prince Gassen's physical condition seems to be changing towards that of his attendant...
There were trace amounts of magic residues in the fruit wine he drank every day, and these residues were actually absorbed along with other substances.
I don't know what this means, but if it's you, you should be able to understand what's going on, right?"
When she said this, the witch's virtual image slowed down for a while. Now it has been almost ten minutes since the activation of the night magic. Under the command of a certain commander outside, after several stampedes, the soldiers outside have regained their composure.
They were panting and waiting for the moment when the magic of night would be lifted, and the elves were also patiently waiting for the archmage to prepare the magic of transmission.
Both sides just waited and waited.
As a result, Yang Hao received an important piece of news first:
"In addition, there is a "Cash Back Restoration Party" in the Roman Empire. The leaders are the ranchers in the west and the silver mine owners in the east.
They hope that you can return to the Roman Empire, but their idea is to use the Queen as a threat rather than actively ask you to come back.
All in all, they are more extreme than me. At least I admit that I once thought of forcing you to stay by leaving the nuns, but they didn't and won't.
So I don't care what you do with them. But if you can, try not to go to the eastern mines -
The magic residue over there is very similar to the magic residue on that servant. I always feel that something extraordinary might happen there in the future..."
The witch's shadow was chirping, and Yang Hao was lost in thought at this moment.
An unusual servant appeared beside Prince Gasen. This servant had a human appearance, but not only could he control and utilize magic residues that humans could not use, he also seemed to have the ability to assimilate others
This is indeed a key piece of information. At least it is more solid than the information about the "cashback and re-take party" - but ah... the magic residue used by the servant is very similar to the magic residue in the mining area in the east of Roman... right
Are they the same special demons as the Ling clan
Yang Hao did not forget that the Ling people could also use the magic residue - but after all, the Ling people's "use" is not to absorb the magic residue directly into the body? No matter how you think about it, there is something wrong with this servant, right
If he hadn't already been in the memorial hall and was about to leave, Yang Hao would have personally taken the servant back to study him carefully - but since he was already here, it was pointless to think too much.
Let's solve the problem at hand first - with this thought in mind, Yang Hao waited patiently.
Finally, at the moment when the witch's phantom disappeared from his sight, the night magic was about to be lifted.
He could already hear some soldiers outside the door who had recovered earlier starting to arrange their battle formations in an orderly manner. He could also see through the gap in the door that someone was secretly raising a battering ram again under the commander's order...
It's time - he nodded to the elves operating the machine guns, and following his instructions, the elves once again put their fingers on the triggers of their guns...
In a blink of an eye, 30 minutes of night magic had passed.
As the war cry sounded again outside the door, Yang Hao ordered the elves to fire freely.
…
32 minutes after the night magic was lifted, Yang Hao and others appeared at the edge of the Monster Forest along with two pure gold coffins.
This was once the battlefield for fighting against the diocese's northern expeditionary force. When they were teleported here, many of the fortifications here had not yet been dismantled, which directly led to some unexpected losses for them.
After being teleported, the Gappa 1405 heavy machine gun appeared directly between two wooden fences.
Although the elves tried to dismantle it, they found that the entire piece of wood was connected to the machine gun, completely scrapping this expensive weapon.
Yang Hao was very puzzled, while the elven wizard said tiredly: This is actually normal.
“The transmission of life will cause repulsion due to the difference in medium and compatibility, so even if we hold hands, there is no possibility that living things will stick together after transmission.
But inorganic matter is different... When inorganic matter is teleported, it is very likely to find the phenomenon of "fusion" - this time is a typical case, but there is also the reason why we released teleportation magic in an area with chaotic magic. "
"So our machine guns... Never mind. Archmage, could you please heal my child's tongue first - or do we have to go back to Caparia?"
Yang Hao's question made the elven wizard think for a while, then he shook his head and said that it would be better to get treatment in Fingel.
Because Fingel's magic power is more abundant and the quality of the magic power is purer, if he performs "Growing a Broken Limb" there, there will be no embarrassing situation where the magic power is completely consumed and the tongue is only half grown.
What's more, they still have to deal with Miss Black Dragon with magic. This black dragon, who is almost immune to magic, doesn't know how much magic power it will take to transfer the tracking spell to her...
But then again, what about the Black Dragon
After searching around for a while, Yang Hao and his team finally found Miss Black Dragonia, who was inexplicably angry in front of a fortification.
"Uh..." Miss Black Dragon was still wearing her tights. She looked furious, but there was not a single wound on her body.
Yang Hao was quite surprised: Since you are not injured, then why are you so angry, Miss Black Dragon
He thought about it, and brought Natalia, Anna, and the Archmage over, while cautiously speaking to Nia:
"Miss Nia? Are you not hurt? We could hear your screams in the palace..."
After these words were spoken, regardless of what Nia did in response, Natalia and Anna's eyes widened: because they simply could not understand how this well-built foreigner could be able to roar like that.
In response to Yang Hao's question, Nia just sighed heavily and looked at Yang Hao's whole body with a meaningful and tangled look, and finally looked at the former court president who was holding the little queen:
"It's nothing, I just feel that I was deceived by the Romans... Oh, are they your chief judge and little queen? Anyway, transfer the tracking skill to me first - I will fly around the coast later, and I will come back after the tracking skill is completely ineffective."
"That's what I thought. So please wait for a while." Yang Hao asked the Archmage to start working immediately, and asked the ranger on standby to rush back to Fingel first, so that Finn and the others could get ready. "And by the way, are you curious about this place?"
"I guess so. This should be the place where the war between Japaria and the diocese took place? Our spies heard that the diocese had fought a war with the elves in the north... But it seems that the intensity of this war seems to be a bit too great."
While Nia allowed the archmage to carve a strange magic circle on the upper layer of her tights, she used her dragon's tail to poke something in the soil on the ground.
Her tail flexibly "drilled" a hole in the ground, and then she did not forget to string up the shells buried deep in the ground. She looked at these metal shells curiously, then turned around and muttered to Yang Hao:
"We in Ishgard originally used metal shells, but after some changes, we decided to use paper shells... Excuse me, compared to paper shells, are these metal shell bullets more powerful?"
“It’s easier to produce, to be exact.”
"I just asked casually, but you really told me? It's really okay?"
"Since you really work hard, I don't mind revealing more technology to Isugarde. Anyway, the production capacity of your domestic factories will be the same even after the steam factory is built, not to mention your mineral resource reserves... Hehe, they can't support the consumption of metal shells at all, right?"
“Tsk tsk.”
Nia smacked her lips in displeasure, but she had to admit that what Yang Hao said was true.
In the case of insufficient mineral resources, all Ishugard can do is to minimize the consumption of minerals and replace them with other things as much as possible.
The most typical example is the replacement of metal shells of bullets with paper shells. There are countless other examples in other aspects.
That’s why Nia understood that even if Yang Hao really explained to her the importance of metal shells, Ishugard didn’t have the reserves to consume before occupying Roman…
Therefore, Miss Black Dragon could only sulk. Yang Hao looked at Miss Black Dragon who was sulk, and finally just smiled and shook his head.
Let's give this black dragon some sweet treats. Besides, Ishugard, which relies heavily on magic, will have to be our dog in the future. Even if they occupy Roman, if they want to have magic in their homeland, they still have to rely on our magic storage equipment...
In this case, allowing Ishugard to gain some appropriate advantages will also be beneficial for us to reap the benefits later.
