"But have you ever considered one thing?" Nora reminded, "You are learning to take the first step, and the other party will not give up learning to take the first step. You cannot surpass her. Maybe one day you will be strong enough not to be afraid. The Alliance is chasing her, but it’s still difficult to surpass her.”
"But she is very old, I heard she is sixty or seventy years old." Donna whispered, "In this case, if it takes twenty or thirty years, she will die of old age, and I will eventually be better than her. Right, Teacher? Hey, teacher, why are you looking at me like this..."
Nora took a deep look at Donna and asked seriously: "Donna, do you still remember where we met?"
"Earl City in the western part of the Soma Alliance." Donna remembered it clearly and replied quickly, "That's where, teacher, you met me and tested me."
"Then have you ever thought about why we met there by such a coincidence?" Nora asked again.
Donna thought for a moment and replied: "I went to Earl City on the way to the Kingdom of Sika. I stopped by out of curiosity. After all, it was the place where the rumored 'Poisonous Queen' poisoned twenty-three official wizards of the alliance. , I want to see what it’s like. By the way, teacher, what are you doing there?”
"Go home." Nora said in a cold voice, "Go home and take a look at the bodies of those guys who were poisoned by me and buried them around the house. Also, look for anyone who is not afraid of death and continues to monitor near my house. .”
"Squeak..." Donna's eyes widened, her whole body seemed to be shocked, and she couldn't help shouting. After she realized what she was doing, she looked at Nora in shock, "Teacher, you... . ”
"Yes, I am the evil witch you are curious about, also known as the 'Poisonous Queen'." Nora said slowly, "By the way, let me correct you, the people I killed were not actually twenty-three people, but There were twenty-five people—the two extra were third-level wizards. The Alliance hid the fact because they felt it was too embarrassing.
And the reason why I killed them was very simple. At that time, I got a relatively precious magic item. Someone wanted to buy it, but I didn't agree. The other person was about to steal it, so I killed him. After the killing, many people came to take revenge, so I simply killed them all. "
At the end of the sentence, Nora looked at Donna and thought of something, and added: "By the way, one more thing, I am not sixty or seventy years old now. In fact, I am only thirty-nine years old this year. If there are no accidents, in twenty or three years I can’t die even after ten years. So...it shouldn’t be so easy for some people to surpass me.”
"Gudong..."
Donna swallowed her saliva and looked at Nora, not daring to say a word, as quiet as a chicken.
After a few seconds, Nora withdrew her gaze, turned around, and walked towards the roof of the building. As she walked, she said to Donna: "Okay, as I said, I will take you to the laboratory first. Wait until the arrangements are made for you Finally, I may have to go somewhere in the east - speaking of which, I am indeed very busy and don’t have much time to learn. If some people work really hard, they might really be able to surpass me."
Donna followed obediently, her lips tightly closed, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Finally, the two left the roof and disappeared into the night.
... ...
A few days later.
Soma Alliance, Reef Castle.
More than three years have passed since the national war between the Soma Alliance and the Kingdom of Sika. This military city, known as "Never Fall", did not slack off because of the war advantages it had achieved. On the contrary, during this period Many expansions were carried out to greatly strengthen armaments and defense.
If the former Reef Castle was a war beast, now this war beast is covered in spiked armor and has become more dangerous and bloodthirsty.
Compared with before, the city wall has been raised several meters, and the inside and outside are thickened by one layer each, reaching an exaggerated level. You must know that it was already more than 20 meters high and 10 meters wide before, like a dam built, but now it is like a continuous dam. of mountains and rivers.
This is no longer a defensive building in the conventional sense, but a man-made terrain. Even if the enemy wizard casts a powerful spell, it will be difficult to completely destroy it. If the enemy wizards want to leap in from the top of the city, the arrow towers erected at regular intervals will use the magic pattern arrows to teach the enemy wizards how to behave.
Even if the enemy wizard is really powerful and can break through the blockade of the arrow tower, then there will be a large machine crossbow roaring and shooting a magic pattern gun to block the airspace. Then a large number of official wizards in the city took to the air, knocking the enemy wizards to the ground and handing them over to countless magic knights to deal with them.
The Reef Castle is so heavily fortified that it can be said to be the nightmare of all wizards. No matter how strong you are, it is difficult to break through alone. You can only enter through the city gate and use formal methods.
Entering from the city gate, there is a road paved with large stones, which has been worn smooth and translucent because of being stepped on by countless pairs of military boots. When the patrol team wearing full armor and full of murderous intent walked by, their vague silhouettes could be seen on the ground.
Follow the main path straight ahead until you reach the center of the city, which is the residence of the commander-in-chief of the Reef Castle, where the military god Sauron Bonaparte stays.
At this time, in the command room of the commander-in-chief's mansion.
Sauron was sitting behind a table, closing his eyes and concentrating, listening to his men reciting the orders from Char:
"... In view of the behavior of some lawless elements in Sarin and the current dangerous situation in Atlanta, Reef Castle immediately dispatched elite troops to Sarin City in Atlanta... ... to take him back. Leonard, the surviving member of the Arbitration Court, retrieved the remains of Keen Antonio, the deputy chief judge of the Arbitration Court, and searched for the traces of Theodore Vick, the chief judge of the Arbitration Court...
Those related to the mutilation adjudication court will be interrogated jointly with Sarin and dealt with according to the crimes committed and in accordance with the laws of the alliance... If encountered obstacles, they can act randomly... If someone forcibly blocks them, It can be decisively executed on the spot to strengthen the military's power and demonstrate the country's prestige..."
After a moment, his men stopped reciting, and Sauron opened his eyes and asked, "Have you finished reading?"
"Yes, General." The men in military uniforms standing on the side nodded with a straight face, not showing any emotions, and did not dare to show any emotions.
This order from the Xia Palace is not simple, and what is not simple is that this is the eleventh similar order in three days.
The contents of the eleven orders are all similar, but the wording is more severe and the wording is more undisguised.
As of this latest one, it is almost clear that Sauron is asked to send troops to Atlanta to arrest people. If they are resisted, they will act violently. This is already considered a real war in a certain sense, only maintaining the superficial peace - no matter what, in a word, Sarin must give an explanation for the casualties of everyone in the adjudication court.
