When Colin found Master Cushius, he was teasing a canary.
Leisurely and leisurely, like a retired old man.
Since the sixth-order mage "encountered" with Ke Lin and others, he followed them all the way, but also made soy sauce all the way.
Although the other party confessed his relationship with Mr. Xi, and even handed over a scroll of the "Eye of Judgment" spell, Colin was still wary of Cuxius.
Now that the situation in the northern border is gradually improving, Ke Lin is also ready to have a showdown with this person.
You can't keep this guy who doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend by your side and don't deal with it.
"Good evening, Mr. Cusius, you are in good spirits."
"Good evening, Viscount Angelet." Cusius turned around and invited Colin to take a seat.
After exchanging pleasantries, Cusius directly pointed out: "Master Viscount is here for the arcane fluctuations outside the city this morning, right?"
Colin nodded, and asked along the way: "Yes. I want to ask, do you know what's going on?"
Kuxius shook his head: "Sorry, Lord Viscount, I'm actually curious about what happened outside the city, but the distance is so far away, I can only know that someone released an extremely powerful spell, but there are more things, I I can't even guess it."
Ke Lin was slightly disappointed, but then asked again: "Extremely powerful? How powerful? Could it be a forbidden spell?"
"It's possible. However, Lord Viscount, it's not that simple to release the forbidden spell." There was a trace of struggle on Cuxius's face, but it was quickly replaced by firmness, "You must have been wondering why I abandoned it. Mr. Li, turn to the St. Hilde family instead."
Ke Lin was slightly taken aback, obviously he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to puncture the window paper.
Although Colin suspected that Cusius was involved in Mr. Ji's plan to sacrifice the city of Falling Eagle, he never made it clear due to the identity of the other party, Teacher Vera.
Unexpectedly, Cuxius would take the initiative to admit it now.
"I'm curious." Colin said casually.
Master Cusius looked into Colin's eyes seriously, and said frankly, "Master Viscount, before I came to you, I met Mr. Xie once."
Colin didn't speak, and waited quietly for Master Cushius' next words.
"The situation of Mr. Ji at that time...was very bad."
Only then did Colin become a little curious, and asked: "What kind of bad method?"
"He lost his left eye, but that was planned, because that's the price you have to pay to free the 'Eye of Judgment'.
However, when I saw him, the entire left side of his face was completely corroded!
Moreover, although he deliberately hid it, I still noticed the dead air covering his whole body.
Therefore, I immediately realized that Mr. Ji was still being backlashed by the forbidden curse!
The sacrifice of a fallen eagle city did not completely exempt the backlash of the forbidden curse, hehe, he screwed up! "
Colin's eyes flickered, as if he understood something: "That's why you handed over the casting scroll of 'Eye of Judgment' so happily, because you found that this forbidden spell has no qualitative improvement compared to other forbidden spells. , it still requires the caster to pay a terrible price."
Cuxius nodded, but shook his head again: "Mr. Xie's state at that time really surprised me, but if you say that the 'Eye of Judgment' has not improved qualitatively, then you would be underestimating Mr. Xie.
You know, to be able to instantly kill a paladin, the 'Eye of Judgment' is already a veritable eighth-level curse.
If you want to use the normal method for this level of forbidden spell, I am afraid that it will take seven or eight sixth-level mages to jointly cast the spell and sacrifice their own lives to cast the spell.
But Mr. Ji was able to successfully cast the spell with his own strength, and he did not die on the spot. This is already a great success! "
Hearing this, Ke Lin smiled coldly, and retorted: "Your own strength? Have you forgotten the 300,000 people who fell into Eagle City?"
Cushius was a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Lord Viscount, I didn't intentionally omit those innocent lives, but from the perspective of... ahem, from the perspective of academic research, Mr. This forbidden spell is indeed an extremely important breakthrough!"
The coldness in Colin's eyes remained undiminished, and Cushius' perfunctory attitude made him understand that this is a demon who has no moral bottom line in his heart, just like Mr. Ji.
If the "Eye of Judgment" really has no backlash against the caster, this guy will definitely release it without hesitation when he finds a chance.
However, although he had already sentenced Cusius to death in his heart, on the surface, Colin didn't bother him anymore.
Seeing this, Kuxius felt relieved.
Perhaps in his opinion, those lowly commoners are nothing more than insignificant ants in the eyes of Colin, who is a nobleman.
Therefore, Cuxius continued: "If you know Mr. Zhe, you will understand that he is definitely an arcane genius!
At the age of twenty-seven, he was promoted to the sixth-level mage, directly creating Yeville's historical record!
But because mages cannot be promoted to the sanctuary, Mr. Ji is also facing a desperate situation with nowhere to go.
Therefore, he began to study various forbidden spells, and only then did he come up with the 'Eye of Judgment', which can be called a pioneering work that changed the course of arcane history! "
Colin looked at Cushius, who was in a frenzy, and sneered in his heart—
That's right, Mr. Ji created the forbidden curse of offering sacrifices.
But for mages, whether this is the road to glory or the prologue to depravity is uncertain.
Cusius continued: "...Even if there are some mistakes, it is actually inevitable. After all, such a brand new forbidden spell has only been released for the first time, but this has opened up a new and promising way of thinking for arcane research!"
"Since you admire Mr. Xi so much, why did you betray him?" Colin interrupted the compliment.
Master Kuxius smiled bitterly: "Because I think Mr. Xi's end may be very miserable."
"Oh why?"
"First of all, he himself suffered from the backlash of the forbidden curse, and he doesn't know how long he can live. Secondly..." Mage Cusius hesitated again, but finally said,
"The day Eagle Falling City was sacrificed, I was actually outside the city. Mr. Ji asked me to help him block possible disturbances.
At that time, I wondered who Mr. Xi was guarding against.
Later, I found out that the speaker of Yeville's mage council—Mage Ernest—appeared outside Eaglefall City!
Apparently, someone had informed Ernest of Mr. Ji's plan, and this person was most likely Emperor Reinhardt! "
Colin listened quietly without saying anything.
Cuscius continued: "I guess, Emperor Reinhardt is actually very afraid of Mr. Shu. Now that he has obtained the spell-casting scroll of the 'Eye of Judgment' and verified its effectiveness, then Mr. Shu is very important to him. , is not very useful.
Therefore, although he himself is limited by his promise and will not personally send someone to hunt down and kill Mr. Xi, it is very likely that he will disclose Mr. Xi's whereabouts to others.
Due to the terrifying power of the 'Eye of Judgment', there must be many people who want to kill Mr. Ji.
Like Ernest, like Prince Leahy...
Outside the city of Falling Eagle, I helped Mr. Zhe block Ernest, but Prince Leahy... Hehe, I don't think Mr. Zhe can escape his pursuit. "
Ke Lin's eyes flashed, and he said, "Do you think that Prince Lexi might have killed the arcane explosion this morning?"
"It's possible." Master Cusius shrugged, "The last time we met, I also asked Mr. Xi if there was any way to deal with Prince Lexi's pursuit.
But he didn't say anything.
Either he didn't trust me enough, or he didn't figure out how to deal with it himself.
No matter what the situation is, I don't think I need to follow him all the way to the dark. "
Seeing that Colin was deep in thought, Master Cusius coughed twice, and said in a flattering tone:
"Viscount Angelet, I have already told the truth about everything I know. Please believe that the reason I assisted Mr. Ji before was to find out what the real effect of the forbidden spell 'Eye of Judgment' is. Academic research, absolutely nothing else.
Even, I didn't know at the time that Mr. Xi's target was the Duke of St. Hilde. "
Colin glanced at Cushius, not sure if he believed his nonsense.
Cousius was a little apprehensive, but continued: "Based on the relationship between Vera and I, of course I would not intentionally harm the Duke of St. Hilde. If I knew that Mr. Yu's target was the Duke of St. Hilde, I would definitely do my best. Stop him!
Ahem, I am also very sorry for the Duke's death, so, as a compensation, I am willing to become the spell advisor of the St. Hilde family. "
Colin sneered in his heart. This guy probably saw that the situation in the northern border was gradually becoming clearer, and the St. Hilde family was not in danger of being overthrown, so he shyly approached him as a magic consultant.
However, this is estimated to be the best retreat for Cuscius at the moment.
He first offended Ernest, the chairman of the Mage Council, and saw that the future of Mr. Xie's side was bleak, so he had no choice but to decide to completely fall to the St. Hilde family.
"I will pass on your request to Vera." Colin suppressed the disgust in his heart and smiled perfunctorily.
Afterwards, the two chatted briefly, and Colin said goodbye and left.
Walking on the dimly lit corridor, Colin suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance again.
Turning a corner, Colin suddenly found that Archbishop Ajani was walking towards him.
"Good evening, Viscount Angelet!" Adjani smiled sweetly, like a hundred flowers blooming.
"Good evening, Your Excellency the Archbishop!" Ke Lin always felt that the current scene had a familiar feeling. Two days ago, they seemed to have met by chance like this.
"I just got some good news. I wonder if you want to hear it?" Adjani walked slowly into Ke Lin. Under the dim light, her beautiful face flickered, exuding a fatal charm.
"Oh? What good news? Let's hear it." Colin stopped in his tracks.
But Ajani is still approaching.
The scent of roses became stronger and stronger, reaching deep into Colin's heart.
In the end, Adjani stood still less than half a meter away from Colin, raised her head slightly, and stared at Colin with watery peach eyes.
The red lips parted slightly, and he said a piece of news that shook Colin's heart:
"Sir, you're dead."
