In the history of the Roland Empire, an outstanding emperor once said a famous saying: "The imperial code is sacred and inviolable! In the territory of the empire, everyone must strictly abide by the constraints of the imperial code."
That emperor later created the most glorious era in the history of the Roland Empire. That era was famous for its strict laws and stable imperial rule.
However, it was also the same emperor... It is said that while leaving that well-known quote, he added another sentence in private. Of course, this private statement was not recorded in any official documents, but it was disclosed through many channels and was widely circulated.
"... everyone must obey the Imperial Code, however, there are two exceptions. The first exception is the Emperor himself. Imperial power can override the Code at certain times! And... the other exception is... the magician!"
Powerful magicians often have far too many abilities beyond ordinary people. When this ability reaches an extreme, it can even move mountains and seas, and even change the fate of a country. According to the existing literature records, when those strengths are so strong that people can't even look up, in the eyes of mortals, they are almost a kind of existence similar to gods!
Those strong people can level the mountains and fill the sea with a wave of their hands. You can summon storms of ice and snow, or you can use the scorching sun to scorch the plains into arid deserts! They can destroy thousands of troops with a wave of their hands, and they can create a disaster that is enough to destroy a small country!
For such a strong person, the secular "code" obviously cannot restrain them. And it is obviously unrealistic for those strong men who can easily destroy the world to abide by the secular laws.
Even if you don't count the legendary powerhouses who are close to the power of the gods... Even the life-and-death battle between ordinary magicians is enough to cause a small disaster, and such a disaster is enough to destroy a city.
According to historical records, when this continent was not yet unified, it was a war-torn and dark era, and often the decisive battle between two magicians could even directly destroy a city-state!
After the continent was unified into a powerful and complete Roland Empire, the large-scale war disappeared. Battles at the magician level have also gradually decreased. Even so, in the history of the Roland Empire, there are many records of some magicians "handyly" destroying one or two small towns during private duels.
But even so, in the imperial code of law, there has never been a law similar to "dueling in public" for magicians. For ordinary people, there are laws and regulations that do not allow fighting in public places, but magicians are not included.
Even the Magic Guild only asks the magicians to minimize personal grievances in crowded places. It's just a requirement, and there are no hard and fast rules.
Even, the agreement reached between the magic union and the empire is that any magician above the middle level, even if he has committed a heinous crime, unless he has committed a felony of treason, otherwise, if a magician is to be convicted or punished, he must Only a joint trial by the Empire, the Magic Union, and the Temple of Light will do! Otherwise, imperial officials have no right to arrest or convict any magician above the intermediate level.
In the hundreds of years of history of the empire, there has never been a record of a magician above the middle level being punished by the empire for breaking the law. All of these undoubtedly show the particularity of the group of magicians above ordinary people.
A group that possesses extraordinary abilities, can be above the law, and can act good or bad according to their own preferences, and is almost unrestrained... In the eyes of ordinary people, magicians exist like this, so , People have always been in awe when it comes to magicians, and there is a greater proportion of fear in this.
Almost the residents of Banjiao City were awakened from their sleep by the huge movement that night.
The violent vibration caused many people to wake up from their dreams, and even fell off the bed. The overhead lights were shaking, and the wooden doors of the house creaked. Countless people woke up in horror, only to find that they couldn't even stand still amid the violent vibrations.
People ran out of the house in panic, only to find that it should have been a dark night, but there were dazzling lights shining in the sky. The huge light group flickered, and even in the distance, I could hear some kind of roar from an unknown beast, which made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts!
Wave after wave of shock came from outside the city, and everything seemed to be some kind of unknown and terrible disaster. The earthquake, coupled with the flames in the sky, and the chilling roar, the residents of Half Corner City began to panic.
The most frightening thing was after a wave of vibration came... The violent earthquake even caused a section of the northern city wall to collapse! The sound of the city wall collapsing made people start running blindly in the city!
And in the distance, as if in the direction of the Banjiao Mountain outside the city, everyone can even see with the naked eye, two huge light clusters, one silver and one fiery red! These two light clusters collided fiercely and fiercely, and the number of collisions became more and more frequent, and every time they collided, the light that was stirred up could almost illuminate the night! Even the moon in the sky has long lost its luster!
Accompanied by the intense light, there were muffled roars! The roar made people shudder! One after another, it was as if a heavy hammer hit the hearts of the people fiercely.
Also in a panic, there are also a small number of light infantry of the local garrison left in the city. These soldiers who were in charge of patrolling the city wall were unable to maintain order in the face of the panicked residents of the half-cornered city... Their manpower was too weak, and they were equally afraid in their hearts.
The most terrifying thing is... The news finally came! Someone ran to the garrison barracks outside the city to ask for help, but was horrified to find that dozens of cavalry guards in the garrison barracks were also injured and fainted on the ground, and even the well-known local knight Spang was also seriously injured. The barracks was in a mess, and there were still unextinguished fires, as if they had just been attacked by someone!
Panicked people began to crowd outside the city, and some people boarded the high rise in panic...
At this moment, a sound like thunder came from the direction of Banjiao Mountain... followed by a series of sounds like thunder in a summer rainstorm...
"The mountain has collapsed! Half the mountain has collapsed!!"
I don't know who was the first to exclaim from a height! Immediately, the frightening news quickly spread among the crowd.
It is true that half the mountain has collapsed! !
In the distance, the hill that could be seen with the naked eye once standing on the city wall, the peak of the famous Banjiao Mountain in the area, just collapsed in the sight of people's horror! The entire mountain peak seemed to be directly shaken away by something, as if it was not a mountain, but a pile of sand... It fell down with a bang!
From far away, that fierce glare can be clearly seen even by people dozens of miles away! And there are people with better eyes who seem to be able to see two strange and huge shadows flying in the strong light...
For the residents of Banjiao City, this is probably destined to be an unforgettable night in their lives. Because of the unknown panic, they almost looked forward to the dawn with the same mood of longing!
When a ray of morning sun finally bloomed from the sky, the frightening roar and those fierce glare that had been flashing for half the night finally disappeared!
After waiting for more than an hour, when it was confirmed that this unknown disaster seemed to be really over, the fear in people's hearts gradually settled down.
Knight Spann and the others who were rescued by the soldiers who ran to the garrison barracks in the middle of the night last night finally woke up, along with Robert and the others.
Facing the powerful power of the magician, they had almost no ability to resist, and they were injured and fainted. Then under the magic of the ice and snow beauty, the whole hall collapsed by her. The people who were knocked down by the ice and snow beauty at that time, Several others were injured by collapsed houses.
The first to wake up from the ambulance was the female knight Ruolin.
Because Ruolin was injured in the daytime battle, she lost a lot of blood and had been resting at night, and Solskjaer also gave her some sleep-promoting drugs. As a result, Ruolin, who was injured in the night attack, was the first to wake up. Here, she is still weak due to excessive blood loss. After all, the lost blood cannot be replenished in a short time.
And then it was Knight Robert who woke up, then Knight Span, and then the guards of Rollins' house. After the few people found that their little master and the terrifying female attacker were gone, everyone panicked.
After learning about the situation from the people around him, the injured Robert immediately braced his wounded body regardless of the scorched wounds on his body, and took a few men with slightly less injured bodies to prepare a car and head to Banjiao Mountain immediately. When Knight Spann learned that the young master of the Luo Lin family was missing, he immediately stepped off a cliff! He was seriously injured and unable to move, so he could only order anyone in the garrison who could move to follow Robert to Halfhorn Mountain immediately! Because according to the residents, it is very likely that the terrifying female attacker went to Half Cape Mountain last night.
At the same time, Knight Spann immediately sent someone to leave the half-corner city in a hurry, and went to the place where the garrison's spring drills were held to ask for help. At the same time, he immediately reported everything that happened in the half-corner city to the governor's office in Lille.
Not to mention that Knight Spann was worried about his future and official career, but that Knight Robert endured the pain and took people to the ruined Banjiao Mountain in a carriage, accompanied by the female knight Ruolin.
But the scene in front of him is enough to make even the calmest people gape! ≌立┤Shuo sacrifices to the Banjiao Mountain! Just a day ago, they had formed a team to search for monsters here, and even traveled all over the entire Banjiao Mountain.
When I came here yesterday, it was a typical hilly peak in the southern part of the empire. It stretched for three or four miles and was covered with lush forests. On the mountain peak, you can look down and see the general outline of the half-cornered city in the distance.
But now...
Robert and Ruo Lin, who were carried off the carriage, both opened their mouths wide and stared round their eyes, almost unable to believe that what was in front of them was the truth! !
God! If this is a nightmare, let it be over! ["A local garrison soldier in Qianxing swears that this is definitely Banjiao Mountain...or in other words, it is the location where Banjiao Mountain used to be.
But even the swearing soldier himself was dazed, with horror in his eyes!
before…
Half Angle Mountain…
No, it should be said that there is no "mountain" here anymore!
In front of him was a... Huge circular pit with a diameter of three miles wide! !
What about Half Angle Mountain? Where did the mountain go
This question is spinning in everyone's mind!
The carriage stopped right on the edge of this huge circular crater, and Robert only felt chills all over his body, looking at the shocking strange scene in front of him...
This huge circular crater seems to have been left behind by some kind of violent explosion! Very likely, according to the knight's guess, the entire mountain was probably destroyed in the explosion! All kinds of strange stones of different sizes are scattered around the edge of the huge circular pit. The ground is thick with sand, and the original muddy ground has long been invisible.
And this huge circular pit is slightly shallower around it, and it gets deeper as it goes to the middle!
What is even more frightening is the appearance of this round pit.
Such a huge round pit seems to be divided into two completely different shapes by the gods in the sky with an invisible pen!
Bounded by the center of the circular pit, in the left half of the pit is a thick sheet of ice! The hard ice on the ground seems to have been accumulated for thousands of years! The thick and hard ice, as well as the frost covering the ground, froze everything on the ground in this half of the pit into a silver world! Even the surface of the stone is covered with a layer of ice crystals!
And the right half of the pit, it is completely the opposite scene!
If the left half is a world of ice and snow, then the right half seems to be a desert!
It's as if every drop of water on the ground has been burned dry! The ground is covered with fine, dry and hard gravel, and some ground that is not covered by sand is also cracked due to being too dry! Here, it seems that there is not a drop of water to be found... Even the stones look as if they were burned to pieces!
Such a huge round pit, one left and one right, are completely opposite. It made people feel terrified and inexplicably shocked.
After all, he was a knight with a strong character, and Robert was the first to wake up from the shock among the crowd.
"I guess... There must have been a fierce battle here last night. The level of this kind of battle is unimaginable at our level... The female magician named Vivienne is also missing, presumably last night must be She fought the female attacker here." The knight analyzed with a calm face: "We don't have to worry about these things... Our problem is, where is the little master now! He is not in the barracks, when we were rescued He is no longer here! Then he must have been hijacked by the other party... maybe even... "
Robert didn't say anything about the rest. After all, even a mountain can be turned into a pit out of thin air! The magician's combat power is so powerful... Then, it's nothing to kill a lot of people.
Robert's face was extremely ugly, but he was still aware of his responsibilities. After all, he is the highest-ranking leader of all the people on his side, and he couldn't let his subordinates down. He gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe the situation is not that bad, maybe the master will I escaped by myself, or maybe the master was hijacked by the magician. No matter what, the most important thing now is to find the master back!"
The knight immediately issued two orders: First, those who can still move should search around immediately. Second, immediately send someone back to Luolin Plain Castle in Cote Province to deliver the letter!
Things are beyond the control of people like Robert Knight.
Where is this young master now
This question is on everyone's mind.
So, what is Du Wei doing now
…
Du Wei is doing something that he never even dreamed of before.
He's... riding a dragon!
Ride on the back of a dragon and fly in the sky! The surrounding wind made him barely able to open his eyes, and he could barely cover his head with his clothes. He grasped the protruding scales on the dragon's back with both hands, and watched the huge monster below him quickly shuttle through the clouds, and the vast sea of clouds was under his feet... This feeling made Du Wei feel a little excited. Yell!
"Please, please, please don't grab its scales, okay?" Vivienne's pitiful voice came from the side. The female magician was weakly lying on the dragon's back, her body was tightly pressed against the dragon's back. Back, that delicate little face was already as pale as paper, and looked extremely weak. Seeing Du Wei clutching the scales of her own dragon, the female magician couldn't help but feel distressed: "It, it, it will feel uncomfortable." Happy, the dragon is a proud creature, I, my scorching sun is still a child, it doesn't like others to scratch its scales... "
"If I don't grab its scales, where else can I grab it?" Du Wei frowned. As soon as he opened his mouth, the wind poured into his mouth, choking him to cough again and again. He quickly lowered his head and turned to look at the female magician. The teacher took a look: "The wind is so strong, if you don't find a place to hold on, what will you do if you fall!"
Du Wei said bitterly: "It's fine if you don't grab its scales, first get rid of your terrible sister's pursuit, and when you get down to a safe place, I'll just make a rein for it."
the reins
Almighty God! Please forgive poor little Vivienne...and forgive this horrible creature.
Putting a rein on a dragon... God, does he think dragons are creatures that can be ridden at will
At this time, the crimson giant dragon under him suddenly let out a mournful cry...
Du Wei was startled, and shouted: "No, your dragon seems to be dying!"
Vivian felt uncomfortable: "Laiyang is still a young dragon, it was injured just now, and it has to carry two people on its back, it..."
This huge red dragon has a shocking wound on the left wing. This kind of wound makes the dragon's wing flutter a bit inflexible when it is flying, and its body can't help but feel a little anxious when flying. One side tilted down.
"Quickly think of a way!" Du Wei shouted, "Otherwise the two of us will fall to our deaths."
"I, my, my, my things were all blackmailed by you! I, I, I can't do anything..." Vivian was also too scared to speak, tears rolled in her big eyes, and suddenly burst into tears Get up: "Wow! Come and save me! I want a mother, I want a father! Come and save poor little Vivian!!"
Um? At this time, you don't stutter when you cry? !
Du Wei was so angry with this little silly girl that he almost fell off the dragon's back! At this time, she cried like a child and called mom and dad!
He yelled and cursed a few times with a sullen face, but at this moment, the dragon under him finally couldn't bear it anymore.
It fought fiercely for the whole night. It had consumed almost all of its magic power, and was seriously injured in the end. It had escaped with its master for so long, carried two people on its back, and its wings were still badly injured. Now it has reached its limit.
With a cry of grief, Du Wei felt his body suddenly sink! This giant dragon has fallen headlong from mid-air...
"Damn! Think of a way! Your dragon is dead!!"
"Wow... Dad! Mom!! Mom..."
"Don't cry! If you cry again, we will all fall to our death!!"
"Wow... Mom... come and save poor little Vivian..."
