In the previous life, Victor played the game "Scepter of Truth" mainly to support his family. Upgrades, tasks, PK... everything makes him feel dull.
And now, Victor, who has become an apprentice of the mage, no longer has to live the ordinary life he once had. In this new world, he has found the goal he strives for-the search for the truth! !
All kinds of thoughts flashed in Victor's mind, his spirits were very refreshing.
"Hey, let me see what this legendary mage left behind..."
Victor, who gathered his mind, opened the secret grid under the circle according to the information he had just received.
In this small hidden compartment, a few books with hard leather covers, two tin scroll boxes, three small glass bottles with unknown liquids, a small leather waterproof belt bag, and one A backpack with a fixed belt, and an adventurer's outfit containing boots, leather pants, shirts, gloves, and cloaks. In addition, on the top of these items is a piece of parchment that has been treated with magic techniques and filled with handwriting.
Victor quickly changed the adventurer's costume, put on his pocket, put books, scroll boxes and other items in his backpack, and carried it on his back. After that, he picked up the parchment and read it carefully.
Perhaps it was because of Ultrain, or some other reason. In short, Victor was able to read and understand these alien texts.
"That's it! These items were used by the legendary mage during his apprenticeship..."
After reading the information recorded on the parchment, Victor knew why a legendary mage left such a "simple" thing.
Without any complaints, it was a surprise that Victor was able to get the "inheritance". Although these items were "simplistic", they were still available to him.
"It's time to leave here... I need time to digest the gains from this'adventure'!"
Just as Victor was about to leave the underground ruins space according to the exit marked on the parchment, a faintly audible sound came into his ears.
"Hill! You, the evil mage who caused the riots in Carter City, don't want to escape! Waiting for you will be the judgment of the gods..."
"Hehehehe... There is actually a paladin. The lackeys of the temple are really annoying! You have to be a bit worse for everything... If this is the case, then you go to die!!"
In this relatively closed underground space, fierce shouts of killing suddenly sounded.
"Hill? Mage? Paladin?"
In a hurry, Victor only heard some vague words, but the information contained in these words also led him to draw some inferences:
As a mage, Hill wanted to obtain the "Inheritance Array" in the underground ruins, but in Carter City controlled by the temple forces, he could only use the means of triggering riots to create an opportunity to enter the underground ruins.
"The visitor is not good!" Victor thought to himself: "No matter who comes, it will put me in a dangerous situation... It's better to go first!"
"Before this, the traces I left must be eliminated!"
In order to prevent the temple and the wizard from discovering himself through magic and magic, Victor had to make up his mind, "There is no way, but to destroy this ruin..."
After Victor made his decision, he immediately activated the self-destructive command of the "Inheritance Altar", and immediately afterwards, he ran off the altar and opened another secret path connecting the outside world.
During this process, the underground ruins space gradually vibrated, and huge stones fell from above one after another! As the vibration strengthened, the entire ruins space fell into a state of collapse.
"Damn it! What happened?"
Master Hill looks like a madman, and the handy inheritance is about to be destroyed before his eyes, which makes his long-planned plan a big joke.
"I can not be reconciled… "
…
Victor ran fast in the secret tunnel, and behind him came the rumble of ruins collapsed.
Finally, before the ruins completely collapsed, Victor returned to the ground without any risk.
A hint of whiteness appeared on the horizon, and the battle in Carter City had basically subsided.
Victor realized that the exit of the underpass was between the port area and the old city. After careful observation for a period of time, he walked out of the underpass.
On the way back to his residence, Victor's eyes were devastated.
The civilians living in the old city suffered heavy casualties, and there were wailing and weeping sounds everywhere. Avoiding several patrolling soldiers, Victor quietly returned to his home that had been ransacked during the riot.
After burying all the gains from this trip in the pit dug under the bed, Victor walked out of the house and rescued the civilians living in the alley.
Throughout the whole morning, Victor couldn't remember how many corpses he had transported, men, women, old people, children... This cruel scene caused a huge impact on Victor's heart!
"Strength... If you want to go further on the path of the mage and explore the truth, the premise is that you have enough strength! Otherwise, everything is false..."
As Victor sighed, shouts came from far away from the alley:
"The man behind the riot has been caught!!"
"Evil mage, he is the culprit..."
"The adults of the temple are preparing for a public trial. Everyone is going to see..."
"Put that evil guy to death!!"
The anger of those who survived the disaster is high! They rushed towards the temple area one after another, and Victor followed in the footsteps of everyone to the place where the temple was.
When Victor arrived at the Temple Square, it was already full of angry people. He stood on tiptoe, barely able to see the situation in the middle of the square.
A tall, wooden cross was erected in the center of the square. Two teams of temple guards in bright silver full-body armor were watching a man in black robes tied to the cross closely.
"kill him!"
"My son, he died because of you, a villain..."
"Evil mage, curse you not to die!"
"..."
The angry people smashed the stones and other debris they were carrying with them at the black-robed man, and the sound of cursing mixed.
Occasionally, the black-robed man who was hit by the debris did not make any sound, and his blood-stained face showed a scorn of disdain.
"Sinner trying to gain evil power, are you ready to be judged?"
A middle-aged man wearing a gray robe with white borders and holding a holy emblem shouted loudly: "Only purification can wash away the sins on your body!!"
