Magic Apprentice

Chapter 172: Calculate and be calculated

Views:

After hurriedly escaping all the way, and just as she was preparing to escape back to the palace, the injuries on her body and the fact that she was escaping with Her Royal Highness made Kate weak from the double blow of exhaustion and injuries.

For the safety of Her Royal Highness, he tried his best to cheer himself up, but when he saw the knights who surrounded the palace, Kate suddenly felt paralyzed.

He tried his best to stay calm, trying to find a way to get himself and Princess Franny out of danger at this moment.

I saw a small team of about two to three thousand people in the distance, forming an array to guard the palace. There were also a few magicians in robes gathered under the hillside.

One of the magicians was sitting in the center of a magic circle, and he was obviously using magic to monitor the surrounding situation.

Kate was secretly glad that when he escaped just now, he did not forget to use reason to hide his whereabouts, otherwise, he might have been discovered by the magician guarding here at this moment.

Confronting those knights was the loyal palace steward.

The old man who knew nothing about fighting was actually wearing armor and standing on the wall of the palace like a fortress.

A stretched bow also stretched out from the window, and the steel arrow flashed with a cold light under the sunlight.

But what really made Kate feel reassured was the crude crossbows revealed in the high vertical windows.

It's not the extremely powerful crossbow arm that's so powerful, although the arrows fired from that crossbow arm do have terrifying lethality.

However, what really made the soldiers surrounding the palace dare not take more than half a step were the arrows on the crossbow strings.

Although these arrows cannot destroy all the soldiers surrounding here, if they dare to break through, they will also have to pay a huge price.

Seeing this situation, Kate finally understood why they were at a stalemate and have been stalemate until now.

He couldn't help but have a hint of admiration for the palace steward. An ordinary person who had never experienced a battle could actually arrange such an orderly defensive formation.

However, even if the palace was temporarily safe, he still could not break through the siege and enter the palace.

Worry and anxiety made Kate feel that her injuries were becoming increasingly difficult to sustain.

Suddenly, an imperceptible sound around him aroused his alertness. Kate almost didn't even think about it, she just pointed a sword at that place, and at the same time, countless phantoms appeared.

What Kate didn't expect was that the swift sword didn't elicit the expected reaction.

There was neither a deadly spear tip swept over by a scorching heat wave, nor was it blocked by a sharp knife.

The sword that stabbed away seemed to be stuck in the quagmire, and it seemed to be stuck in the wood, unable to advance an inch further, and it was difficult to withdraw even an inch.

This unprecedented change made Kate break into a cold sweat. He turned around suddenly and raised his injured right arm.

But all his worries suddenly disappeared when he saw the person quietly hiding behind him.

Relieved, he relaxed almost instantly.

"You are finally back, and the Kingdom of Sophie finally has hope." Kate said slowly, his expression full of joy and joy.

"I brought a lot of reinforcements." Enleco released his hands that tightly clamped the tip of the sword, pointed behind him, and said with a smile.

I saw bright smiling faces behind him.

"I'm glad we're together again." Jerry said excitedly.

Standing next to him was a smiling Bertina.

"I have great news for you. Our trial instructor has returned to Sophien," Jerry said quickly.

Kate was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood what Jerry meant.

He quickly looked around, but did not see Her Royal Highness Princess Kris, which made him feel slightly disappointed and also a little relieved.

"Don't rush to reminisce about old times now. Take Kate to a safe place quickly. He is obviously seriously injured and needs medical treatment immediately." Bertina said anxiously next to her. "Compared with the injuries I suffered when I was training under Teacher Chris in the laboratory of the psychedelic forest, this is nothing at all." Kate said disapprovingly.

"Brother, I feel that you are becoming more and more brave now. Her Royal Highness the Princess is in the palace. She is watching every move here with concern. The compliment you just gave will definitely make her happy. And happy." Jerry said with a smile, and there was a lot of gloating in his smile.

Jerry's words startled Kate, and endless fear suddenly surged into his heart.

"Stop joking, everyone, get ready." With that, Enleco pushed Jerry and Berti and gathered everyone together.

A mysterious spell was recited, and in the melodious chanting, a circular gap gradually opened in the surrounding ground.

The gap is getting bigger and bigger, and clear lines are actually revealed in the crack.

The people gathered in the middle quickly lowered their bodies as much as possible.

The ground shook violently, and suddenly, a circle of dark brown dust spewed out from the gap.

The flying dust completely shrouded the surroundings, and those who were in it felt like the world was spinning, and the ground became as soft as a sponge, making it impossible to exert any force.

When everything calmed down, Kate woke up from the shock and confusion. All the dust in his eyes suddenly dissipated, and he realized that he was already in the courtyard of the palace.

Here is a narrow passage leading to the prayer hall and study room. The so-called patio is only a small area of three meters square.

There was a lone elm tree growing on the patio, and Kate realized that she was leaning next to the elm tree.

There is still a circle of weird and inexplicable cracks all around. The only difference is that the circle of cracks has been flipped left and right like what I saw just now.

"Another teleportation magic?" Kate asked.

"The works of the late barbaric era are the most primitive form of the teleportation magic circle that we are familiar with now. The distance cannot exceed five kilometers, and the effect it can have is really limited." Enleco shrugged and said.

"Hurry up to the church and I will heal these injuries for you." Bertina pulled Kate and said.

This ancient palace in Iscape, in addition to its grandeur, has an elegant and smart character.

The most distinctive feature here is the prayer room connected to the large living room.

Like most Magic Empire-era buildings, the prayer room is a two-story building.

Below is the auditorium for prayer and worship, while above it was originally where the clergy rested, as well as the private prayer room for the royal priests.

At this moment, Kate was lying quietly in a bedroom on the second floor, and the wounds on his body had just been cleaned and treated.

Beside him, lay Her Royal Highness Princess Franny, who fascinated him.

Her Highness the Princess was still unconscious, and her peaceful and peaceful look deeply attracted the young magic knight.

However, he did not dare to have any blasphemous thoughts in his heart. Even the intimacy at this moment made him feel as happy as being in heaven.

In the bedroom next to it separated by a wall, Enleco looked leisurely into the distance.

He didn't even pay attention to the soldiers surrounding the palace down the hillside, nor was he interested in looking at the magicians.

At this moment, he was still calmly admiring this beautiful building with a strong classical style.

I have to admit that the architects of the Magic Empire era had a superb understanding of the division and stacking of space that cannot be matched by modern craftsmen.

The engineers who designed this palace were clearly interested in creating a cheerful and varied space.

Around the front hall, the classical column components appear unusually delicate, which is in line with the royal style and reflects the leisurely taste.

The vast walls and high roof are decorated with freely curly and asymmetrical patterned frames and curtains. The murals with brisk tones in pastoral country style look so lively and cheerful.

What Enleco appreciated most was the particularly outstanding design of the stairwell.

Its upper and lower stairways and corridors occupy the entire hall. The darkness of the lower level and the brightness of the upper level form a sharp contrast.

The former is luxuriously decorated, but the overall airiness and lightness are clear at a glance.

The latter uses parallel upward spiral staircases to connect the upper and lower floors, showing the artist's superb skill in utilizing space.

Just as Enleco was immersed in this incomparably beautiful classical building and the feeling of leisure and tranquility, the messy footsteps outside the door caught his attention.

"How can you save me? My dear cousin." As soon as he entered the door, the unruly and cunning princess said with a smile.

For this guy, Enleco really had nothing to say.

However, perhaps because he knew that they had the same blood relationship, Enleco felt suddenly much closer to the little girl who gave him such a headache.

The only thing that made him feel embarrassed was the crazy sex with the princess at night.

But what surprised him was that this incredible little girl seemed to be particularly fascinated by the same bloodline.

Enleco deeply felt that Xi Ling became even crazier when she was pregnant, and in the past she always preferred to sow the seeds of life by herself after changing various tricks and experiencing various stimulations. On the land that will never bear fruit.

But now, the princess was desperately trying to absorb every bit of his life essence as if she was hungry and thirsty.

This couldn't help but remind Enleco of the time he spent with the two goblins.

In his opinion, this inexplicable princess who has the same bloodline as him is like the adult fairy, trying hard to breed new life in her body.

Could it be that this is also because the blood of the fairy family is flowing in their veins

But Enleco was not bothered by this, he was even secretly happy about it.

Because in his opinion, in the past, Xiling only cared about the wonderful and indescribable feeling, and the strange excitement that made her heart beat wildly.

Because of this, she always only focuses on how much pleasure she gets from it, and the constantly changing tricks only allow her to obtain different and increasingly intense stimulations.

However, now the situation has completely turned around. This naughty little girl still likes to come up with new tricks, but this time, she is all serving him.

What surprised Enleco was that the little girl knew those weird things far more than Fianna, the same elite controller.

This also made him wonder whether this was related to the bloodline of the fairy family that Xiling possessed.

But it was undeniable that Enleco felt that he was becoming more and more addicted to the crazy game with Xi Ling.

Although he asked himself every time whether he had any feelings for the princess who once made his hair stand on end.

However, the beauty and craziness that others could not give him made him more and more addicted to this interesting game.

Also because of this incident, Enleco felt that he truly accepted Xiling, instead of just treating her as Fianna's friend and a strange playmate.

Although he accepted the princess princess, Enleco still had a headache with her cunning and weirdness, and he had nothing to do about it. Anyway, he had never had the upper hand when facing his cousin.

At this moment, this tricky cousin is even more proud, because she has become the person responsible for giving orders after the eldest princess, Her Royal Highness Kris.

Another reason why Enleco did not dare to complain about his cousin was that he increasingly felt the evil wisdom of the pure bloodline left by Hades Emperor Helis.

Compared with Most's wisdom, which can also be called extremely evil, the wisdom possessed by the outstanding descendants of the Roland family appears to be colder and more bloody. For Most, the most annoying thing is undoubtedly those sages and people with high moral character. For these people, Most likes to do everything possible to deceive or bribe, and to use the weaknesses of human nature to forcefully change the beliefs of others. Its favorite game.

For the members of the Roland family who have the blood of the Hades Emperor, as long as they are their enemies, they will rarely choose to bribe or deceive them. Direct elimination is the most appropriate and safest way.

Enleco felt more and more that the blood of his ancestor Helis, the Emperor of the Underworld, was extremely obvious in his cousin Xiling.

"How is the work going on with Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Enleco asked.

"It went very smoothly. You will never imagine how majestic Sister Chris is. Those stubborn and unhuman elves dare not even say a word to refute Sister Chris."

"Those magicians who stayed on Kechen Island and were willing to stay with the elves and cut off contact with the Magic Association are even more flattering."

"Sister Chris will definitely be here soon. With Fianna here, she can make those elves obedient. After all, Fianna was also a figure who was trained in the organization to enter the top leadership in the future. She The means we have are more than enough to deal with those mentally retarded elves." Xiling said.

Enleco really couldn't comment on the words of the princess's cousin, but he could more or less imagine what happened on that mysterious island.

For the residents of Kechen Island, the crazy eldest princess is a terrible nightmare and a terrifying demon. However, except when studying magic, Chris's mind is not very easy to use.

But this time she had two think tanks and two little fairies full of evil wisdom to assist her. With her prestigious reputation, it was naturally easy to intimidate a group of timid fairies.

Enleco was imagining how Kris was terrorizing the entire Kechen Island, and how those poor elves were trembling amidst the harsh and shrill laughter. Suddenly, there was a horrifying sound coming from outside the door. Voice: "I did see a few timid elves trembling in the dark, but the degree of their trembling seemed to be far less than that of another guy I am familiar with."

These cold words made Enleco instantly shaken. He watched with trepidation as Her Royal Highness the Princess walked in slowly.

Seeing Chris's arrival, not to mention Enleco, even Jerry and Bertina, who had been sitting next to them and looked extremely leisurely, stood up extremely nervously.

Looking at their extremely nervous and pale faces full of panic, it was obvious that what they were thinking in their minds just now was no different from Enleco.

At this moment, the only person in the room who could gloat and laugh was the princess. She smiled and stepped forward to greet her, hugging Chris's arm tightly and affectionately.

"Okay, the matter on Keqin Island is over. Now it depends on how you deal with those guys, especially the person surrounding here. Yusi Pu is probably the biggest trouble in front of us." Chris said coldly said.

She glanced out of the window at the confronting cavalry, and she suddenly burst into fierce anger.

The bursts of lightning flashing at the fingertips made Enleco and his two companions afraid to say a word. No one knew better than them that Chris was on the verge of going crazy at this moment.

"Sister Chris, you should be happy. This is definitely a rare opportunity for us. This place is deserted and inhabited. As long as we plan carefully and don't let anyone leak the news, we can definitely do it without knowing what's going on." Wake up and eradicate the biggest trouble completely."

"Presumably that guy chose this moment to attack for the same reason, so that this self-righteous hunter could become the prey in the cage." Xiling said excitedly.

From the look on her face, it was obvious that her excitement was not a facade.

"It's up to you to plan this matter, and everyone here will obey your orders." Chris glanced at her students and said slowly.

The elite of the former controller organization said excitedly: "If you decide to take action, I'm afraid you have to prepare to set off immediately. The opportunity will always be fleeting. If our prey leaves here, even if the soldiers surrounding us are Eliminating them all will be of no use at all.”

"The most important thing now is to determine Yusi Pu's location. As long as he knows where he is, Enleco will definitely have many ways to kill him quietly."

Just as Xi Ling was saying this, a scolding suddenly interrupted her words.

"No, this is absolutely not allowed. If we do this, how will we be any different from those despicable and shameless people? This is something I, as a knight, will never allow."

The person who spoke righteously and rebuked was none other than Kate, who was recovering from her injuries next door. He stood angrily at the door, and beside him stood Princess Frannie who had regained consciousness.

Kate also didn't finish her words. Following a piercing scream, a scorching electric light flew up.

It was exactly the same as what happened to Enleco. Almost in an instant, the extremely proud knight was knocked to the ground.

There were also bursts of green smoke coming out of his body, and his limbs were also twitching involuntarily.

Her Royal Highness the Princess quickly knelt down beside Kate and carefully inspected the injuries on his body.

Enleco was extremely surprised by that gentle and considerate look.

It was really difficult for him to connect the gentle, considerate, noble and elegant princess in front of him with the strong girl who used to do whatever it took to achieve her goals.

Could it be that love can really change a person completely? This makes Enleco feel a little incredible.

"The most useless thing now is probably the knight." Her Royal Highness the Princess waved her hand and said disapprovingly.

Judging from her expression, it seemed as if what she had just hit was not her disciple, but a mosquito that annoyed her.

"Okay, Xi Ling, if you continue talking, there won't be a second person who is ungrateful." Chris pointed at Xi Ling and said.

The latter could only nod repeatedly. She also did not expect that Chris's decision would be so quick and decisive.

"As I said just now, the most important thing now is to determine the target. As for the most suitable hunter, it is naturally my dear cousin."

"I believe that with my cousin's strength, I can definitely easily eliminate Yusi Pu, the biggest troublemaker. However, in order to proceed smoothly in the next step, capturing Yusi Pu alive is obviously the best choice."

"Of course, I don't intend for him to join us. This is too risky and the hope is too slim."

"The soul dagger my cousin once mentioned gave me some inspiration. I wonder if it is possible to extract the soul from the human body? But I know very well how to forcibly separate the memory from the soul."

"Then, put the soul of another person into the empty body. In this way, we will have a loyal spy who can easily control everything."

"As for the soldiers surrounding you, as long as we control Yousi Pu's body, a simple order can make them retreat, and there is no need for you to expend any effort on your part, sister." The princess princess said with a smile.

After hearing Xi Ling's suggestion, Chris turned her attention to Enleco: "That soul dagger is the masterpiece of your ancestor Hellis, and the fake god of souls is your contract holder. , only you know best whether this matter can succeed."

Enleco didn't even have time to search his memory. Suddenly, the evil monster hiding in the devil world happily entered the depths of his consciousness.

"It's a very interesting suggestion. I like it very much. In my opinion, your cousin is obviously far more qualified than you to be my first choice believer. Her idea is indeed good. This is definitely the best way to control the situation. practice."

"You don't have to hesitate at all. I can teach you how to transfer other people's souls, although it's not as convenient as the dagger." Most said happily, as if he had suddenly found some interesting toy.

"This - transferring souls can be done, but you have to find a suitable candidate to control Yousipu's body. This is not an easy task. Not only does it have to be performed flawlessly in front of Imposs and Kweizhi, And this is an extremely dangerous job." Enleco said hesitantly.

"Can the soul transfer be 100% successful? Will there be any mistakes? After the soul is transferred, will it be able to return to the original body smoothly? Will there be any unexpected sequelae? For example, the memory will be mixed together due to the transfer. ?" Xiling did not answer Enleco's question, but asked a series of questions.

"Reassure her that this matter is a trivial matter at all. There will definitely be no problems at all, and there will be no mixing of memories, unless this guy originally planned to steal some of other people's original memories." There is no wait yet. Enleco asked, Most had already said.

Living in the depths of the spirit of the soul contractor, this ancient monster paid interested attention to the little girl who had a blood connection with the contractor.

It feels that it likes this guy more and more. In fact, no one is more suitable than her to become the conveyor of its will.

"There is no problem, and there will definitely be no sequelae." Enleco said quickly.

Hearing this affirmative answer, the former controller organization elite said excitedly: "I believe you, if this is the case, I can sacrifice once. I believe that no one among you is more suitable to complete this matter than me. "

Regarding Xiling's proposal, everyone present looked at each other, but after thinking about it, there was really no one more suitable than this top spy who once turned the Kingdom of Kaoqi upside down.

In the past, the evenings in Iscape were extremely quiet, with the sound of waves crashing on the shore in the distance. Now that it is low tide, the sound of the waves seems extremely quiet.

And the unusually cool evening breeze from the sea gently blew and swayed the trees all over the mountain.

The sound of the whirling leaves continued to rise and fall, complementing the sound of the waves.

However, Iscape looked a little strange today. Several bonfires were lit on the beach, and there were dots of torches all over the mountains and plains.

There were magicians flying around in the sky, and they carefully searched every inch of land in the mountainous area.

In the charred garden, the middle-aged paladin leaned against a big tree and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner leisurely.

A gorgeous carpet was spread under the tree, and the carpet was covered with exquisite delicacies. There was also an exquisite silver wine pot next to it.

He glanced at the mountains in the distance from time to time, looking at the countless fires dotted at the foot of the mountains, with a helpless smile on his lips.

"Let everyone take a rest and stop searching. If you can't find that person during the day, it will be even more impossible to find him at night." The middle-aged man ordered the adjutant beside him.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the soldiers rush into the palace? That is where they are most likely to hide. And now that Master Kweizhi has closed all the teleportation magic circles, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape from here. Mountain range." The adjutant asked hesitantly.

"Blatantly attacking the palace is a crime that is difficult to get rid of. The reason why Perth asked me to do this was originally to let me bear this crime. In this way, he can sit down and sit down openly. In that high position, I won’t be criticized as a hypocrite by others.”

"However, I am not a fool. Since I hold this divine sword and four attendants, there is no way to keep Mr. Magic Knight here. Even if I attack the palace, it will probably be of no use."

"You only have one chance. Since you have lost it, you should be able to take it and let it go. Admitting failure is also a proof of courage." The middle-aged man said slowly.

After saying this, he whistled softly, and saw two black and brown hunting dogs with shiny fur flying happily to his side.

The middle-aged man casually grabbed two pickled bones and threw them on the grass.

The two hunting dogs swarmed up and snatched the food.

"Let the soldiers bring all my beloved hunting dogs back. They have worked hard all day today and they should be given a rest."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and sent the adjutant away. He leaned gently on the big tree and stroked the golden spear with a slight red light with both hands.

"It's a pity that Impos didn't learn the unique skills passed down by his ancestors, so that I can't exert your true power." He said to himself.

Suddenly, the two hounds, which had been engrossed in fighting for the meat and bones, stopped fighting nervously.

A burst of barking broke the hope of peace and tranquility. The middle-aged man was worthy of being a holy knight with superb martial arts skills. He grabbed the spear beside him.

A merciless backhand stab turned the towering tree behind him into a torch spouting blazing flames in an instant.

The red light flashed away, and the spear in his hand was circling and flying. Dark red smoke clouds surrounded the middle-aged man from top to bottom.

The dark red smoke cloud spit out a faint red light, but the place where the red light shined immediately burst into flames.

Whether it was grass or shrubs, their lower parts immediately turned into blazing fire under the red light.

The middle-aged man in the center, shrouded in firelight, had a serious and majestic expression, with an extraordinary aura.

Suddenly, a trace of distortion appeared in the flames all over the mountains and plains.

It was as if a hole of about one meter appeared in the basket. As soon as the burning flame touched the hole, it immediately disappeared without a trace. Seeing the unbelievable and indescribable sight in front of him, the middle-aged man couldn't help but tighten his grip on the spear in his hand.

The spear shot out suddenly, and although the spear was extremely powerful, the middle-aged man was just doing it for a test, and he had enough room for maneuver.

But what he found unimaginable was that the sudden hole was spinning like a whirlpool in the rapids.

The center of the vortex is exactly where the tip of the spear is pointing.

Just like a real vortex, the mysterious vortex that appears with the basket has unimaginable suction.

But this was not the thing that frightened him the most. The most incredible thing was that he was shocked to find that his body shape and movements had become extremely slow.

This unprecedented scene made the middle-aged man panic. He shook the spear vigorously, as if to free himself from the whirlpool.

However, the long spear seemed to be tightly stuck with glue, and it was very difficult to move even an inch.

Out of desperation, the middle-aged man pushed the red gem at the end of the spear hard.

The originally thin and long spear gradually returned to its original appearance of a broad sword.

The shortened weapon suddenly broke free from the shackles of the whirlpool, but he himself did not escape from the pursuit.

The hole that originally formed the vortex disappeared into the air, and a short and thin boy wearing a black robe appeared in its place.

The slender and squinted eyes, the long hair peeking out from the cloak, the pointed chin, and the small and unimpressive nose, these features immediately reminded the paladin of a legendary figure.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flew up. This sudden lightning attack made him understand the identity of his opponent.

With a loud shout, the awakened paladin focused all his strength on the broadsword and long sword in his hand.

If the spear was the most difficult weapon to deal with both offensively and defensively, then after it transformed back into the form of a divine sword, this weapon lost its powerful defensive power in exchange for a more violent attack.

That sword without hesitation carried the will to win, but also the sadness of perishing together.

But what he didn't expect was that the spear in his hand easily penetrated the pair of lightly flapping palms.

However, the situation was not as simple as imagined. Not a drop of blood flowed from those hands made of flesh and blood.

On the contrary, the hands turned into a puff of black smoke and spread in all directions.

The dark red smoke that originally wrapped around the tip of the gun seemed to be suddenly swallowed up and dissipated completely out of thin air.

The surrounding flames were also instantly swallowed up by the drifting black smoke. Wherever the black smoke passed, the original green grass and trees immediately turned into a pile of withered and dry firewood.

Facing this unimaginable power, facing this strange scene that no warrior could understand, the middle-aged man felt horrified. He flew back quickly, just wanting to escape as soon as possible from this incredibly powerful opponent. .

The courage he originally had to die with the enemy was completely lost when he saw the black smoke drifting away.

Because that was obviously an enemy he couldn't kill with his power.

A flying figure dragged a string of dark red smoke clouds and rushed down the mountain. Behind him was a thick black smoke floating silently.

Trees withered wherever they passed, and the fire was immediately extinguished. The originally lush and peaceful Iscape was now filled with countless ashes and smoke in the air.

Whether it was the towering tall trees or the dense patches of low shrubs, they all turned yellow and turned into powder flying in the wind under the blowing of the sea breeze.

The originally quiet evening was broken by the noisy hoofbeats of military horses and the clash of weapons and armor.

The knights gathered around the palace, the moment they saw the fire in the distance, they immediately rushed here with all their strength to reinforce their commander.

When the middle-aged man saw the arrival of his men, he did not feel any relief or relief at all.

Because he knew very well that there was a huge difference in strength between the people he brought and the figure chasing him closely behind him.

He absolutely did not think that the Forbidden Curse Mage, who once wiped out an entire team of Holy Knights at the border of Kaoqi and the Kingdom of Lading, would be intercepted by his knights who had no actual combat experience at all. .

The middle-aged man did not pause at all. Like lightning, he passed through the queue of knights who hurried to reinforce him.

The dark red smoke cloud trailing behind him didn't know how to distinguish between friend and foe, it only knew how to turn the place it passed into a sea of fire.

Almost instantly, raging fire surrounded the knights, but before they could wailed or rushed out of the sea of fire, a thick black smoke enveloped them.

The screams of the knights and the neighing of the horses stopped at the moment when the black smoke enveloped them.

When the black smoke drifted over, all that was left on the ground were piles of bones, and these bones were even withered and broken, as if the person had been dead for centuries.

Such a terrifying and strange scene made the knights who regarded bravery as a virtue feel frightened.

The magicians floating in the sky turned around and ran away. Obviously, they knew very well that this was definitely not a terrifying enemy that they could deal with.

In the face of a terrifying and powerful enemy, as long as someone chooses to retreat, others will do the same.

The retreat turned into a panic-filled escape, but compared to the magician who could fly in the air, the knight riding the horse was obviously much slower.

Just as they were running along the hillside towards the beach, they saw countless streaks of faint black smoke shooting in all directions.

The wisps of black smoke seemed like dense arrows, or like the smoke and dust rising on the battlefield.

But everyone who saw the wisps of black smoke felt extremely scared and frightened.

The first few streaks of black smoke flew the fastest, and those few streaks of thick black smoke caught up with the magicians flying at the forefront in an instant.

Only screams were heard coming from the air. When the smoke dissipated and turned towards another target, broken bones could be seen scattered from the sky.

This is simply a scene in hell, and every knight who sees this scene feels heartbroken.

But what frightens them even more is that they know that they will soon become like that.

In fact, they had already seen faint black smoke floating from all directions.

After a burst of hoarse screams, the surroundings of the palace returned to the previous tranquility.

However, the tranquility at this moment is not as peaceful and comfortable as before.

This place has become as scary and weird as hell.

White bones were scattered everywhere, including the bones of war horses, rusted armor, and broken bones, all mixed together.

Surrounding these numerous bones are the remains of withered trees and grass. The originally lush tree crowns and grass stems have long since turned into ashes and dust.

This is a place full of death, filled with the atmosphere of the underworld.

It seems like a god of death is strolling leisurely here, and it seems like hell has opened an exit here.

And in the middle of this land of death, stood a figure who looked like the God of Death.

A thick cloud of black smoke gathered together and rolled, and the black smoke gradually gathered into substance.

The human figure composed of black smoke became more and more clear, and finally returned to Enleco's previous appearance.

Looking at the despicable paladin running away in the distance, he softly recited the only practical incantation among earth magic.

After the mysterious spell ended, nothing seemed to change at all on the beach in the distance.

But the moment the middle-aged paladin, who was escaping quickly, stepped on the soft sand, his feet suddenly sank, and the sand, along with the sea water, formed a huge turbid whirlpool.

Although the middle-aged man held the legendary divine sword in his hand, he had no choice in the face of the quicksand that kept sinking him.

The thick broad sword dancing in his hand evaporated the surrounding seawater in an instant, but the sand was not affected by the scorching red cloud of the divine sword at all, and his superb and swift movement had no effect here. In the quicksand of force, it also lost any effect.

The middle-aged man watched with fear and despair as he was swallowed bit by bit by the quicksand.

There is really nothing more frightening and helpless than watching yourself slowly die.

Slowly raising the divine sword, the middle-aged man had a helpless smile on his lips. He never thought that this would be his final outcome. At this moment, he felt regretful and even more desperate.

However, the biggest feeling in his heart was deep hatred, because he was actually deceived by Ke Weizhi, a guy who only knew how to play with power, and actually told him that the little forbidden magic mage was dead.

It was his belief in this that brought him to where he is today.

If he had known that Enleko Poulos was not dead at all, he would not have considered joining the camp of Kweizhi and Impos.

Because he knew very well that the eldest princess, who was famous for her madness and fear, would not attack her relatives who had the same bloodline.

Neither herself, whom she hates, nor Imposs, whom she likes a little, are in any danger to their lives.

But the little forbidden spell mage is completely different. Although it can be proved from many things that he is not a cruel person who is bloodthirsty, raping and murdering, but he is also definitely not a compassionate and kind-hearted guy.

Apart from these two people, he didn't think there was anyone else who could really pose a threat to them.

Because of this, when he obtained conclusive evidence from Kweizhi that the little magic apprentice had been killed in the killing trap set up by Haigero and Somilet, he readily agreed to form an alliance. request.

But at this moment, he felt that it was the biggest stupid thing he had ever done in his life.

In despair, the middle-aged man raised the divine sword in his hand, and the sharp and hot sword slashed down towards his neck.

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp ice arrow piercing the air came.

What surprised the middle-aged man was that the ice arrow actually shot at the divine sword in his hand.

But this was his last feeling. The moment the ice arrow hit the divine sword, he lost all consciousness.

Not only him, but even the quicksand was firmly frozen. The seawater that penetrated into the quicksand was frozen into unbreakable ice. Only the divine sword has not been frozen, but without the control of the swordsman, no matter how extraordinary the divine weapon is, it is just a unique decoration.

The red light that originally shrouded the divine sword had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the shining light on the sword.

The most splendid room in the palace is the bedroom of the royal family.

At this moment, in the palace, a group of people full of mystery and weirdness are gathering.

On the floor in the center of the palace, the middle-aged man who was captured lay flat.

Around him, a mysterious magic circle is drawn.

Next to the middle-aged man's head, there was a crystal clear cat's eye stone.

The cat's eye stone is covered with strange red and blue threads.

A hazy blue light shrouded the entire palace in a beautiful and strange aura, and the densest blue light was in the center of the magic circle.

At the other end of the palace, on the magnificent bed, the princess lay quietly.

Her expression looked unusually excited, and there was a trace of worry gathering on her brow.

Next to her pillow stood Kate with a solemn expression.

Although he has no understanding of spiritual magic and soul transfer, among all the people here, except for Chris and Enleco, he has the deepest knowledge of magic.

At this moment, neither Her Royal Highness the Princess nor Enleco, who was in charge of the soul conversion, had any leisure time. Therefore, the responsibility of taking care of Xi Ling naturally fell on Kate.

Enleco, who presided over the soul conversion ceremony, was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the two, gently reciting long and mysterious mantras in his mouth.

The sound of reciting incantations was like the mournful sound of strong winds blowing through the ruins, and it also seemed like the wails of countless undead souls imprisoned in the netherworld.

Kris knelt down next to the middle-aged man's head. In her hand, she held an extremely slender silver needle with an inch-long diameter.

With Chris' extreme caution, the silver needle was slowly inserted into the middle of the middle-aged man's head.

Suddenly, the opal, covered with red and blue filaments, burst into bright blue light.

In that piece of blue light, there were also countless red starlights mixed in. Those red starlights rushed towards the silver needle like a swarm.

And Xiling, who was lying quietly on the gorgeous bed, suddenly let out a very slight moan.

Seeing Xi Ling's reaction, Kate next to her immediately softly recited the strange string of spells that Enleco had just taught him.

Suddenly, the palace was filled with low and strange singing sounds.

And the deep blue light makes this place seem like another world.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man who was lying quietly in the magic circle moved slightly, and then he slowly sat up.

His eyes seemed a little dull at first, but gradually they became brighter.

And the silver needle that was originally deeply inserted into the skull slowly and automatically retreated.

A crisp metal collision sound sounded, and the silver needle fell to the floor.

"This feeling is really interesting. It turns out that occupying someone else's body is such an interesting thing." The middle-aged man laughed excitedly, and his smile seemed to be extremely incompatible with his original image and demeanor.

Looking at this strange scene, even Bertina and Jerry, who knew nothing about spiritual magic, could guess that the soul transformation ritual had obviously been successfully completed.

Xiling, who had taken over her new body, turned her head and glanced at herself who was sleeping deeply in her bed.

"It's incredible, I could even get myself pregnant if I wanted to," the guy suddenly said excitedly.

After hearing this, Enleco, who was about to stand up, fell to the ground, while Bertina and Kate, standing beside them, looked at this strange guy in amazement.

Jerry was the only one who didn't take it seriously at all. Obviously in this short period of time, he had a very good understanding of what kind of weird guy the prince was.

"Are you sure now that you can 100% impersonate this guy without being discovered by others?" Chris next to him asked.

Xiling was silent for a long time, searching for a moment in the newly acquired brain.

Suddenly, she jumped up high, and when she was about to touch the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, she suddenly made a turn and flew forward close to the ceiling.

"This is really unbelievable. I can actually display such superb martial arts. I didn't expect soul transformation to have such benefits. In this way, I believe no one will doubt my true identity." Occupying a new body Xiling said excitedly.

But she immediately frowned tightly, her hands formed a special mark, and a simple spell was softly recited.

That spell could originally summon a wind knife, but now it just blows a breeze.

"It seems that there are advantages as well as disadvantages. This body is not suitable for performing magic. If you plan to give up your original power, you can be excited about the newly acquired power." Her Royal Highness the Princess next to her said calmly.

These words made Xiling, who was originally extremely excited, become dejected.

"Okay, let's start the counterattack plan. Xiling, please tell me what we should do next." Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was silent next to her, suddenly said.

"The next thing is very simple, that is, Your Highness Princess, you accept my proposal, and agree that I will act as your plenipotentiary representative, throwing a bouquet of reconciliation and compromise to the remaining two opponents." Xiling smiled. said.

"Why not arrest Impos and Kweizhi directly? Wouldn't it be simpler and more convenient to find two people to occupy their bodies?" Chris said disapprovingly.

"This is of course the most direct and simple method, but what we really have to deal with is not the people of Impos and Kweizhi, nor Hegeello and Somyret who are hiding behind them, but Those ungrateful Sophien people.”

"You have to let them suffer some hardships so that they will obey you and Her Royal Highness the Princess as if they are worshiping gods. And for these reviled bad things, it is best to let Impos and Kweiz do it and let them bear the infamy. , and you take on the role of savior.”

"As for directly controlling Impos and Kweizhi, it is an excellent method, but on the one hand, it is difficult to find someone who can control their bodies. The only one with such qualifications, besides me, is Fianna."

"On the other hand, since we can perfectly control them with strategies and easily manipulate the situation, why should we adopt a method that is risky and likely to fail?"

"Unlike Yu Sipu who came to die on his own initiative, those two cowardly guys have been hiding among countless bodyguards and guards."

"If a witness is leaked, it will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to our plan." Xiling said with a smile.

"Then let Kweizhi and Impos temporarily save their lives and continue your plan. You are an absolute expert in this matter." Her Royal Highness the Princess said categorically.

Suddenly, the palace was filled with a dignified and tense atmosphere.

A conspiracy is being implemented in full swing, and its target is another conspiracy.
