When Anjia Alchemist turned into a demon and died, he also saw a bottomless crack in the night.
Judging from Li's description, the two are somewhat similar, as if behind the rift, there is a space that is completely different from the real world. Since the impression was only left in the blink of an eye, Xia Fan couldn't tell whether it was an illusion caused by the distortion of light and shadow, or whether such a place actually existed.
But there is no doubt that this kind of scene is by no means the normal occurrence of evil spirits - so far, he has eliminated many evil spirits, and none of them has caused such strange phenomena before dissipating. Even the demons in Qingshan Town are very dead. Simply put, there must be a reason for the difference.
Another point is the female mage herself.
Judging from the information Xia Fan has collected so far, mages are basically similar to alchemists, and most of them are human Qi sensers. They have their own training and inheritance institutions, and are known for their prowess and extensive knowledge. They rarely get involved in political affairs, and their status is firmly suppressed by the kingdom's nobles - that is, the West Pole monsters.
They have no innate magic skills. They can only achieve success by studying and practicing day after day. They should be quite rigorous in treating magic skills.
It is true that there is an element of being forced to cast this soul spell, but the female mage should have anticipated the risks in advance. In other words, she thought Luo Qingqing, Yan Qing and others posed a greater threat to her, so she used this trump card. Xia Fan believed that no normal person would regard "self-destruction" as a trump card for self-protection, and the other party would probably do the same.
He always felt that there was something fishy in this matter, but he couldn't tell what it was.
After all, the description of the summoned Great Demonic Light makes people feel creepy. It is definitely an unusual thing that a green sword, a listener and a fox demon are helpless against it.
You must know that the promotion of the Privy Council started from the time of asking questions, and it was no longer possible to obtain meritorious service by exterminating evil spirits alone. This shows that the threat of evil spirits is not high in the eyes of alchemists, and it is really unbelievable that such a demon suddenly appears.
If it were summoned during the mage's daily practice, I'm afraid the entire mage tower would suffer.
"Fortunately, you sank it to the bottom of the sea," Xia Fan sighed and patted his tail, "This is indeed the most correct choice."
"The idea was brought up by Luo Qingqing," Li closed her eyes slightly in contentment. She was now very used to the feeling of having her tail stroked, "but I can feel it... she actually feels a little regretful."
"Uh... sorry?"
"Because that thing seems to be able to slow down time. If you use it for research, it should be very helpful." Li said, "For example, it was difficult for me to imagine the appearance of thunder and lightning you described before, but when I saw the extreme After the slow-speed lightning, my head suddenly became much clearer, and my natural magic was also enhanced."
"Really?" Xia Fan said in surprise.
The fox demon suddenly smiled slyly.
He suddenly had a bad premonition, "Wait a minute—I believe it."
"It's too late. Seeing is better than hearing. Let you personally experience the new illusion I created." Li's golden eyes burst into dazzling light, instantly covering Xia Fan -
…
At the same time, Noah was on the tree boat.
Zhuoflan also met the rumored high priest, Lady Senia.
As a fugitive with a similar destiny, she had too many questions to ask and too many encounters to say. Unexpectedly, before these words could be spoken, her eyes became blurry.
"Priest... Your Excellency..."
"I understand everything." Senia walked to her side, hugged her into her arms, and allowed the latter to cry. The confusion and panic accumulated on the way to escape, as well as the pain of bereavement, all poured out at this moment. As a person who has experienced this, the high priest naturally understands the other party's feelings. At this time, he only needs to give her time to recover.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhuoflan gradually calmed down.
"Hug, sorry... I just lost my temper..."
"The World Island has fallen apart. We are all refugees now, so don't be too particular about etiquette." Senia said softly with relief.
"Yes..." she responded in a low voice.
"Besides Silver Star, do you know anything about other tree boats?"
"The ones that were able to escape the empire's pursuit were all the tree boats on the western edge of the World Island. There were seven or eight others separated from the Silver Star, but I don't know exactly where they went."
Senia nodded in knowledge. At that time, the Imperial Army was busy capturing the center of the World Island, which gave the edge tree boat a chance to escape. However, compared to the entire big island, the number of islanders who could escape must be a small number.
"Master Priest..." Zhuoflan's tone suddenly became a little uneasy, "If Silver Star wants to stop here in Jinxia, does it need to pay anything? I heard that this place is similar to other human kingdoms. Everything is inseparable from coins. "
"Indeed." Senia said seriously, "Although Jinxia has an alliance with Noah, it does not mean that they will support the islanders for free."
Zhuoflan's hands clenched, "But there aren't many coins on Silver Star... Do we have to treat elves as cargo..."
The high priest couldn't bear to tease her anymore and said with a smile, "This is not an empire, so don't worry about the things in the Ocean Region. The initial expenses can be deducted with tree species. You can count the special products on Silver Star later and hand it over. Give it to the General Affairs Bureau and they will give you a reasonable purchase price."
Zhuoflan paused for a moment, "If it's just the seeds of the spiritual tree, there is still a little stock in the warehouse... But without the corresponding islanders, ordinary people can't use them."
That's why the empire captured elves and used them as slaves.
"This is another point I want to make." Senia put away her smile and said seriously, "This is not an empire, but it is not a world island. If the islanders want to live a good life, they must leave the tree for a while. Zhou, take the initiative to integrate into the environment of mainland cities."
"Leave... Shuzhou?"
"That's right. For example, raising tree species, using natural spells in a planned way, or injecting magical power into magic weapons, this is considered a stable job in Jinxia and can be paid accordingly." The high priest introduced, "Yes. With this money, everyone can live a comfortable life, and life is no worse than on the World Island in the past.”
"Aren't they... afraid of blood fusion?" Zhuoflan looked hesitant, "I heard that the protracted war was originally caused by this reason."
"Noah was also worried about this problem at the beginning. Believe me, when I made this choice, it was more difficult than you imagined. But now..." Senia showed an emotional expression, "Maybe the tree god finally told us I opened my eyes, and I heard that the probability of Qi-sensing people—that is, demon-possessing people—appearing in Jinxia Academy is many times greater than before. Although the reason is not clear yet, this is probably the best opportunity for the islanders to integrate into the new world."
"School?"
"That's a place where mainlanders teach children to read and write and popularize knowledge. Didn't you ask me before about what Silver Star needs to do if it wants to stop at Jinxia?" Senia touched her hair, " One thing is indeed very important - let more tribesmen receive written education and learn the language here as soon as possible. And you should lead by example and become a role model for Silver Star."
