Xuan Yue smiled and said: "I have known you for so long, and I only know your exact age now, so you are also two years older than me! Then you are older than Oliveira, and he will call you big brother just like me .From now on we will be called brothers, so much more cordial. Elder Fengzhi, I would like to trouble you to bring us some food, we haven't eaten for a few days, and there is nothing left in our stomachs."
Fengzhi smiled and said: "It's easy, I'll go now. Vera, you can stay here with your two brothers."
Oliveira nodded, and shouted a little unnaturally: "Dumb old, big, big brother, I will definitely study hard with you in the future."
Dumb smiled and said: "When did I become a big brother, Brother Vera, don't say that, don't belittle yourself, your wind magic is also very good, we are learning from each other, your magic level is indeed better than mine To be strong, I mainly have better martial arts skills, if you want to learn any magic skills, you have to go to Brother Xuan Ri."
Xuan Yue smiled and said: "Don't be polite to each other, you will be fellow travelers from now on, Brother Vera, we will leave here after we finish eating, do you have anything to take away, go and pack it up first .Don't worry, we won't leave you behind."
Oliveira was seen by Xuanyue, blushed, and hurriedly said: "Then, then I will go first, and I will be back soon." After speaking, for fear that Duan and Xuanyue would not wait for him, he quickly ran out.
Seeing the back of Oliveira leaving, Duan murmured: "Brother, is it too dangerous to let him follow us? We don't know exactly what is happening in the Death Mountain!"
Xuan Yue smiled and said: "There will be no danger. His magical potential is very good. On the road, his level will definitely improve. What's more, you, a master of martial arts, will protect us. What are we afraid of?"
Hasty footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and Feng Zhi pushed the door open with an anxious expression on his face.
Xuan Yue said: "Elder, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Feng Zhi gasped slightly, although his magic cultivation was not weak, but his health was not very good, and he was a little helpless after running for a few steps, and solemnly said: "Lardas is here, and Grisson, They asked to see Elder Dumb by name."
Hearing the name Ge Lisong, Dui's whole body was shocked, yes! Why did I forget him, and hurriedly said: "Elder, I will go with you."
Fengzhi nodded, and said: "Elder Duan, it is best not to conflict with Lardas in the trade union. After all, this is the territory of the Yajin tribe, and it is different from the Bilu Canyon. .”
Dumb said: "Elder Fengzhi, don't worry, I won't conflict with him."
Knowing about the relationship between Duan and Grisong, Xuan Yue said, "Brother, let's go, they shouldn't have any hostility." She had a quick mind and thought: Although Lardas is powerful, he won't He rashly came here to trouble Ah-Dai, and he came here to find Ah-Dai, probably it has something to do with Ah-Dai's teacher. The two followed Elder Fengzhi out of the room quickly, and led by Fengzhi through the corridor to the lobby of the Mainland Magician's Union.
Lardas and Grisson stood proudly in the center of the hall. They were still in the same attire they had in Bilu Canyon that day. They stood with their hands behind their hands and waited quietly. Yu Yuan and Gu Tian led dozens of powerful mages to stand aside. Although they knew that Lardas would not dare to mess around here, he was a magister after all, as he had shown in Bilu Canyon before. The strength shown is so strong, I have to be more cautious. Seeing Duan and Xuanyue come out, all the magicians breathed a sigh of relief. The performance of Duan and Xuanyue had already conquered their hearts.
Lardas stared at Ah-Dai, with a flash of red in his eyes, but Ah-Dai seemed to have not seen him, and his attention was fully focused on Grisson. Grisong's eyes flashed brightly, "Boy, you've finally come out. This time, I came to you with Lardas and I want to ask you about my elder brother. Let's find a quieter place."
Hearing him mention Corris, Duan felt a pain in his heart, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay."
Fengzhi felt anxious, and said in a low voice, "Dumb, you can't go with them."
Grisong had a good ear, and said disdainfully, "What? I'm afraid we won't succeed if we eat him."
Dumb rushed to the wind and said: "Elder, don't worry, I will be fine."
How can Feng Zhi feel relieved, shook his head and said: "No, they came here suddenly, who knows why, we also have a clean place here, so we can talk about it here."
Grisson was about to have an attack, but was stopped by Lardas, who said calmly, "Okay, right here, Elder Fengzhi, please find us a place."
Xuan Yue said: "You don't need to look for it, it's in Brother Dumb's room." After finishing speaking, she pulled Dumb's sleeve, turned and walked back the way she came.
Surrounded by many magicians, Lardas and Grisson followed Duan and Xuanyue to their room.
Duan didn't want others to know about Corris, so he rushed to Fengzhi: "Elder, please wait outside."
Feng Zhi nodded, looked at Lardas warily, and said, "Dumb, be careful, don't be confused by his words."
Dumb smiled, nodded slightly, and closed the door.
Lardas waved his hand casually, but he didn't see him chanting the spell, and the light red magic energy suddenly floated out, and the low-level fire enchantment enveloped the four of them.
Duan and Xuanyue both recognized that this was a soundproofing magic. Lardas obviously didn't want his words to be heard by Fengzhi and others. In this simple barrier, even if someone outside used the inquiry magic, they couldn't hear any sound. . Xuan Yue said: "Is there anything you can say now."
Ge Lisong frowned and said: "We are looking for dumb, it has nothing to do with you, you go out too."
Before Xuanyue could speak, Duan hurriedly said: "No need, he is my best brother, and he knows everything about me."
Grisong said: "Well, let me ask you, are you my elder brother Reese's apprentice? We should have met once in the Forest of Illusion."
Dumb nodded, and said: "Yes, I am Teacher Corris's apprentice Dumb, and the teacher has officially accepted me as an apprentice."
Grisong sighed, his face softened, and he said indifferently: "Brother, is he okay? There are too many things in the trade union, and I put most of my energy on cultivation. I haven't seen him for many years. I am very worried." Strange, why are you still alive now, did elder brother give up his wish?"
Hearing Corrisson mention Corris's wish, Ah-Dai burst into tears, shook his head vigorously, and said: "No, teacher, he did not give up his wish. He is the greatest alchemist on the mainland. He succeeded. He succeeded. The artifact was refined."
The eyes of Grisson and Lardas shone brightly at the same time, and Grisson said excitedly: "He succeeded, he really succeeded, brother, you are so strong!" A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Dumb scorchingly , said: "Since he succeeded, why are you okay?"
After reading Corris' suicide note, Ah-Dai naturally understood the meaning of his words, choked up and said, "Because, because the teacher used his own body to fulfill his wish, he exchanged his life and soul for the success of artifact manufacturing."
Grisong's whole body was shaken, and he grabbed Ah-Dai's shoulders with both hands, and said in a voiceless voice: "What did you say? Brother, brother, he is dead?"
Dui nodded in pain, and said, "Yes, the teacher is already dead."
The light in Gorisong's eyes disappeared, his old body swayed slightly and almost fell, he staggered back a few steps, and with the help of Lardas, he stood upright, "No, no, it's impossible, big brother How could he use his own body to refine artifacts, he wouldn't be so stupid, boy, are you lying to me, are you the one who killed brother?" Ge Lisong shouted crazily, purple The flames rose into the air, ready to pounce.
Duan shouted excitedly: "No, it's not me, it's not me. How could I kill Teacher Corris? How I wish the teacher used me to refine the artifact! I would rather die myself than give up the teacher. life."
Lardas grabbed Corrisson's shoulders, suppressed his Zi Yan, and said calmly, "Brother, be sober, let him speak clearly. Boy, tell me, how did Corris die."
Xuan Yue chanted in a low voice, her hands were shining with white light, and the light of calm was divided into two streams, which were injected into the bodies of Dumb and Grisong respectively, calming down their excited emotions.
Dumb took a deep breath, sorted out the thoughts he didn't want to think about, looked at Grisson's face that resembled Grisson, and sadly narrated the contents of Gris's suicide note, only concealing that he was taken away by "Pluto" Owen The only thing is that he was forcibly taken away from the psychedelic forest by a martial arts master.
Listening to Ah-Dai's narration, Grisong's complexion changed continuously. He, who was sophisticated in the world, knew from Ah-Dai's sincere expression that Ah-Dai was not lying.
"Mr. Corris is dead. In order to commemorate his achievements, I named this artifact the Wish of Corris. You should recognize his handwriting. I left the notes in the psychedelic forest. If you have time, You can go and see, and you will know that I am not lying." At this point, Ah-Dai was sobbing, and the sadness in his heart continued to rage, causing him to fall into extreme sadness.
Grisong sighed, with tears running down his face. He was just a relative like Gris. Hearing the news of his brother's death at this moment, his heart was filled with emptiness. The pain he hadn't experienced for many years made him feel out of breath. Sighing, he murmured, "Brother, why are you bothering? Is it worth sacrificing your life to make an artifact? Is it worth it?"
Lardas patted Grisson's shoulder and comforted him: "Brother, don't be sad, let me be kind. Although he died, he fulfilled his last wish with his own life. I think he It must be very gratifying. Hey, brother Ling and I pursue different goals. My goal is to use the forbidden spell with my own strength, but after decades of hard work, I still can’t do it. Brother Ling, compared to me, It is much stronger. For him, there is nothing more important than refining artifacts. I think he must think it is worth it. We are not young, so why should we be so obsessed with life and death? Maybe, After a while, we will also go to heaven to meet brother Ling." Knowing the cause of Corlis' death, Lardas felt a lot, at this moment, he seemed to have lost his former ambition to win, and thought to himself, I am already over ninety years old, what have I gained from the decades of fighting with the Mainland Magicians Union? In the Tianjin Empire, his power has reached its peak, but what does this mean? Are you really happy? Life is only about a hundred years, and I don't have many years to live, so what's the point of being obsessed with these things.
Originally, Lardas accompanied Corrisson to find Dumb for two purposes. One was to ask Corris if he had made an artifact. Many years ago, he had coveted the artifact that Corris was about to refine. The other is to use Grisong's relationship to win Ah-Dai and Xuan Yue to join the Tianjin Mage Guild, but at this time he has lost interest and has no desires. He can no longer say what he wanted to say before, but just comforted him silently. Sad Grisson.
Xuan Yue took Duan's big hand, felt his trembling body, and said softly: "Brother, don't do this, Teacher Corris will be sad if she knows it, don't you still have Corris' wish? Your teacher always Be by your side and watch over you!"
Dui wiped off the tears on his face, pulled up the magic robe on his arm, and looked at the black texture of Corris' Wish that was exposed outside the giant spirit snake armor. A warm energy came from Corris' Wish to comfort him Feeling so sad, Duan felt warm in his heart, and said obsessively: "Teacher, are you okay? Look, your brother is here! Teacher, I really miss you."
Grisong walked slowly to Ah-Dai step by step, and sighed: "My child, I blamed you wrongly, let me see the artifact left by the elder brother, okay?"
Ah-Dai stretched out his right arm and lifted his giant spirit snake armor, revealing the right forearm that was turned black because of the fusion of Corris' wish. The light of Corris' wish flowed, and the energy fluctuations were extremely strong. As if telling something. Feeling the energy contained in Corris' wish, Lardas said in surprise: "What? Have you also merged with the artifact?"
Duan shook his head, and said sadly: "No, I am not fused with the artifact, but with the soul of Teacher Corris. The teacher resides in my body through this artifact, watching me all the time."
Grisson stared at the black energy, clearly feeling the soft intimacy, he slowly stretched out his skinny palm, and touched the wish of Gris on Dumb's right arm.
Duan looked at his skinny palm that was almost like Corris, his eyes became moist again, and Corrisson's hand was getting closer and closer, and finally, his somewhat shriveled fingers touched the black lines of Corris' wish.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. Dumb and Corrisson were shocked at the same time, and an unusually strong black light erupted from Corris' Wish. It didn't seem to be magical energy, and the black energy was constantly circling in the room , giving people an indescribably strange feeling, as if there is another person in the room, no, to be precise, it seems that there is an extra soul, the soul of the artifact.
Xuanyue and Lardas just looked at the vision in front of them in surprise, but Dumb and Corrisson kept trembling. The black light rising from Corris' wish seemed to be telling them something constantly. The energy hovered slightly, which was an extremely cordial feeling. The black energy continuously sent out soft waves, soothing their sad hearts.
Lardas said with emotion: "An artifact with a soul, this is the most basic requirement for a high-grade artifact!" To distinguish the grade of an artifact is not only based on the energy it can display, but also whether it has a soul is also a very important factor. Generally speaking, high-grade artifacts have their own souls, and the souls of artifacts have a subconscious instinctive effect, making the artifacts more agile and full of powerful power. It can be said that all high-grade artifacts have souls, but not all high-grade artifacts have souls. Like the current Corris Wish, although it has the soul of Corris, its own ability can only reach the low-level realm. However, any artifact with a soul has the possibility of evolution under certain conditions, and can even evolve into a top-grade artifact, so Lardas was surprised. Duan's dragon blood and Xuanyue's phoenix blood also have the souls of the dragon and phoenix respectively, so they rose to the realm of high-grade artifacts when they triggered the fusion of the two artifacts.
The black energy of Corris' Wish slowly descended, circling around Dumb and Grisong, and submerged in Corris' Wish, the room returned to the previous calm, but the agitated mood of Dumb and Grisong could not be calmed down for a long time. Just now , that was Corris comforting them just now! Ge Lisong said sadly: "Brother, you can go with peace of mind, maybe it won't be long before our brothers will meet in another world." Looking up, he stared at Duan's tearful eyes, and said lightly: " My child, you must protect this artifact well, it has poured all of my heart and soul into it and my expectations for you, my brother must silently bless you in another world, don't let him down."
Duan nodded and said: "I will, unless I die, I will never be separated from the teacher's soul for a moment."
Grisong took a deep breath, calmed himself down, turned to look at Lardas, and said, "Master, do you have anything else to say?"
Lardas shook his head, and said: "Let's just let things take their course. Maybe it was a mistake for me to set up the Tianjin Magician Guild. I'm going back to the Tianjin Empire. My injury hasn't recovered yet. build."
Hearing what Lardas said, Duan was slightly taken aback. Could it be that he no longer wants to fight with the mainland magicians union
As if seeing the doubts in Dumb's heart, Lardas smiled slightly and said: "I have already figured it out, power is like floating clouds, and my life is only a hundred years old. Yes. When my injury is healed, maybe I will use my little time to look around. There are still many places on the mainland that I haven’t been to. Gorisong, you and I will go back to the empire. It's up to you to deal with it. As for this, if the mainland magician's union really doesn't want to see the existence of our union, let Butian take our people back."
Grisong looked at the enlightened Lardas, and felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Since he met Lardas many years ago, he felt the realm of no desire and no desire from him for the first time. This is still a powerful continent The first to attack the mage? He asked with some concern: "Master, are you okay?"
Lardas smiled slightly and said: "I'm fine, I'm better than ever before, I haven't given up on my pursuit, on the contrary, I will have more time to pursue my goal in the future, one day, I will Fulfill your wish like Corris, and cultivate Yanlong Nine Revolutions to the highest level." He looked at Dumb and said, "By the way, Dumb, let me ask you, did you really summon that dragon?"
Duan was taken aback, not knowing how to answer, Shengxie can be said to be his biggest secret, Lardas in front of him seems to have become a kind elder, he didn't want to deceive him, but he also didn't want to say it Sheng Xie couldn't help looking at Xuan Yue for help. Without waiting for Xuanyue to rescue him, Lardas said: "Don't be embarrassed, since this is your secret, keep it in your heart. However, that dragon is indeed very strong, although I don't know you used it What method, but to be able to tie with my rank eight Yanlong, your cultivation is far beyond my imagination."
Duan sighed, and said: "Actually, I lost the competition that day. I injected my true energy into the dragon's body, and finally resisted your attack. In terms of magic cultivation, how can I compare with you?" What about you? You are one of the most powerful magicians I have ever seen."
Lardas didn't mind the word "one" and said with a smile behind his hands: "The mainland will be your young people's world from now on. I thought my disciple Keanu was already the best of the younger generation, but compared to You guys, he is still far behind. If you have the opportunity, you should give him more advice in the future. Are you a member of the Holy See? How did you get involved in the mainland magicians union." The last sentence was asked Xuanyue. In the competition in the Bilu Canyon, the Tianjin Mage Union can be said to have come out in full force, determined to win, but when the victory was about to come, it was destroyed in the hands of Duan and Xuanyue.
Xuan Yue nodded, and said: "Yes, I am a priest in the Holy See, and I joined the Mainland Magician Union just because of interest. If it weren't for your Tianjin Magician Union being too domineering, we wouldn't make a move. It's all magic Master, why bother to divide them? You are one of the three major magisters in the mainland, you should have heard of the millennium catastrophe! If you don’t fight against the enemy, maybe when the catastrophe strikes..."
Lardas was startled, and interrupted Xuanyue, "What? Is there really a thousand-year catastrophe? I thought it was just a legend." If someone else said this kind of thing, he would definitely sniff it , but from the mouth of Xuan Yue, who had reached the realm of a magister and came from the Holy See, he had to believe it.
Xuan Yue said sternly: "Of course there is a thousand-year catastrophe. You should remember the bloody day and blood rain that occurred in the year 989 of the sacred calendar. That should have been the time of catastrophe. The catastrophe was barely postponed, but His Excellency the Pope has already calculated that the catastrophe will surely come again when the holy calendar lasts for thousands of years. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to resist. You are a great magician, and you should be the leader of the mainland. Do your best to survive."
There was a complicated light in Lardas's eyes, and his brows were tightly frowned. He never believed in the existence of disaster before, but after hearing Xuanyue's words, his body and mind were shocked, and he pondered for a while before saying: "So, when the disaster comes, Is it possible for human beings to perish? In what ways will this catastrophe be manifested? Is it impossible to stop it with such a powerful force as the Holy See?"
Xuan Yue shook her head and said: "No one knows whether it can be stopped, but the first Pope of the Holy See, that is, His Majesty Shenyu who saved the catastrophe a thousand years ago once said that the catastrophe after a thousand years is better than what he saved The catastrophe is even more terrifying. Although the strength of the Holy See is very strong now, it is still unknown whether it can cope with the millennium catastrophe and the catastrophe. Our Holy See has been preparing and waiting for the catastrophe. If we can get all the magicians , and even with the support of all human beings, the possibility of surviving the catastrophe will be greatly increased."
A bright light flashed in Lardas's eyes, he nodded and said: "I understand, little friend, thank you for telling me this, if the catastrophe really comes, our Tianjin Mage Union will never sit idly by, okay, brother, let's You should leave too."
Grisong took a deep look at Dumb, and sighed, "My child, be careful."
Lardas smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about them. The cultivation of these young people has gradually surpassed ours. When the disaster comes, they must be the main force of the resistance. Oh, yes, this is for You." As he said, he took out two golden magic cards from his pocket and handed them to Duan and Xuanyue respectively, "Originally I came here with Ge Lisong to let you join our union, but at this moment I no longer It's an extravagant hope. These two cards are the same as those of the Mainland Magician's Guild, representing the status of elders. I'm not asking you to join the Tianjin Magician's Guild, and I don't need you to do anything for me. With these two cards, All the magicians under me will be at your disposal, and will help you in your actions on the mainland. Don’t refuse me. Now I am no longer the Lardas I used to be. In front of you, I am just a person who cares about you and human beings. Future elders, accept it, your strength is absolutely qualified to become the honorary elders of our trade union."
Seeing the elder magic card in their hands similar to that of the mainland magician's union, Duan and Xuanyue were both stunned. The great change of Lardas made it difficult for them to adapt for a while. Respect came from the bottom of their hearts. When faced with big right and wrong, the demeanor shown by Lardas is worthy of being one of the top figures in the mainland.
Xuan Yue put the card into her arms, and said solemnly: "Master Lardas, thank you, with your support, the Pope will be very happy, I believe, with your current spiritual state, you can use the forbidden spell It's a matter of time."
Dumb is more grateful than Xuanyue, not only because of the change in Lardas's attitude, but also because he took the initiative to give in and resolve the dispute between the two unions. In the future, he will no longer have to worry about the battle between magicians, maybe , soon, all magicians will unite together, and that will be a powerful force enough to affect the entire continent.
Lardas smiled slightly, and walked towards the door together with Grisong, the light red enchantment was withdrawn, Duan floated forward, opened the door for them personally, and said respectfully: "Master Lardas, Mr. Grisong , take care of everything, Dumb will always remember what happened today."
Lardas smiled lightly and walked out with his head held high. Outside the door, Feng Zhi and the other three elders, Oliveira, and dozens of magicians waited anxiously. Seeing Lardas walk out, everyone became alert and stared at his every move. . Lardas didn't care about their vigilance at all, and together with Grisson, they left the Mainland Magician's Union under the respectful escort of Duan and Xuanyue.
"Elder Duan, what did Lardas tell you?" Feng Zhi couldn't help the doubt in his heart, and asked anxiously.
Dumb sighed softly, and said: "Actually, he is a respectable elder. I think that the Tianjin Mage Union will never conflict with us again. Elder Fengzhi, I beg you for something."
Fengzhi was taken aback, and said, "Say it."
Dumb said: "Master Lardas told us just now that their union will never provoke us again. I hope you can also restrain our magicians and stop hating them. Okay?"
Fengzhi frowned, and looked at Ah-Dai suspiciously, "But, are you sure that what he said was not a lie? The conflict between the two trade unions is no longer a day or two. Perhaps, he just made a move because of his lack of skill. It's a plan to slow down the troops."
Xuan Yue glanced at Feng Zhi with dissatisfaction, and said, "Elder, don't forget that Lardas is a magister. As a top magician, how could he lie?" The heart is like a gentleman's belly.
