Attribute restraint? Sorry, I am a full magician

Chapter 72 Weird conspiracy

No return to the city, temple.

It has been some time since the high priest Serra went to seek help from the southern bishop Sere, and the Book of the Dead is currently lying quietly on the table with the Shrine of Courage in the center of the temple.

For so many days, there has been no change in the Book of the Dead, but it cannot be destroyed with purification magic, let alone the combat skills of the commanders under Count Cocot.

During this time, they all came to try to destroy the Book of the Dead, but they all ended in failure.

This left them to wait for the return of the High Priest from the City of No Return. It seemed that only loyal followers of the Goddess of Courage, holy priests at the level of bishops, could possibly destroy the Book of the Dead.

Today, after the routine shift change, the patrol knights of the temple continued to patrol the temple according to daily procedures.

"You can use a few days off, Derek."

One of the patrol knights in a team of two looked at his haggard colleague beside him and couldn't help but remind him,

"The commander won't say anything else. After all, something like this happened on the border."

"No, I'm fine. I've received news from the troops to the west. They left peacefully and didn't suffer much."

After hearing Derek's answer, the patrol knight who was partnering with him could no longer say a word and could only remain silent.

He knew that no amount of words could comfort the young man.

The man named Drake was extremely pale and looked extremely weak.

If he had known that he had not slept for two days before receiving news that made him desperate, perhaps there would not be any doubts about his current state.

He is a knight who was transferred to the city of No Return in the western part of the Star Pulse Kingdom. His ancestral land is at the border of the Star Pulse Kingdom and the Obsidian Kingdom.

The sudden outbreak of war between the two kingdoms left Drake's family without any chance to escape, and they died in the fighting between the two countries at the beginning of the war.

Although Drake sent news to his former colleagues in the west through internal channels in the army, asking his parents to move to the center of the kingdom immediately, it seemed that it was still too late.

Instead of receiving a reply from his parents, he received messages from his colleagues.

It didn't contain much, just a few lines, but it exhausted him more than the battles he had experienced in his lifetime. The first sixteen words informed Drake that his parents were dead, and the middle twelve words told him that the body was still intact and had not been eaten by wild beasts or insulted by the enemy. As for the hundreds of comforting words that followed, De Lake didn't look into it at all.

The first twenty-eight words had drained him of all his energy.

However, Drake showed up at his post without even a day's rest.

So, the conversation just happened.

"Obsidian Kingdom! Kill, kill, kill! I will kill all your soldiers! I will destroy your kingdom! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

While patrolling, Drake cursed in his heart, his murderous intention reaching the peak of his life.

There are only two things in his life, one is the family and the other is the army.

I originally wanted to be transferred to Wuhu City to earn more military pay so that I could send it to my parents to improve their lives, but I didn't expect that this separation would be forever.

Just as the overwhelming murderous intent surged in his heart, the Book of the Dead, which was lying quietly next to the Shrine of Courage, shook slightly.

Perhaps because of this vibration, it fell off the table.

Snapped--

This sound shocked the two patrol knights.

"Drake, pay attention to your surroundings, I'll go check on the situation!"

One of the knights walked over cautiously, checked the surroundings carefully, and picked up the Book of the Dead in confusion.

For safety reasons, he also wore holy gloves specially made by the temple.

"That's weird. It shouldn't have been put away, why did it fall down?" He glanced at the Book of the Dead, and there were two words "Advent" written on it. He hurriedly closed the Book of the Dead and put it After returning to his position, he greeted Drake to leave.

"Let's go. I'll report this to the commander. You don't have to worry about it. You'd better have a good rest when you go back today."

Derek just nodded imperceptibly and then made no response.

The other knight just thought that Drake was too sad and didn't pursue it, so he walked forward again and continued patrolling, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

"Tsk - is it my imagination? Why is the temple so cold today? Is it because of that weird book just now?"

"Forget it, let's finish this journey quickly and let Derek have a good rest."

However, he didn't see that the blue light like ice crystals in Derek's left eye beside him flashed away, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, then returned to normal, as if nothing happened.

At the same time, in Leitz City to the south, two undead creatures lurking in the darkness looked towards the direction of No Return City to the north at almost the same time.

"My Lord! The Book of the Dead is there! Great!"

The plague mage hidden in the cloak casually discarded a human skull in his hand, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

"After searching the memories of so many people, I still can't find it. I didn't expect that I was taken to Wuhui City. I will go and join you now!"

The other person who noticed the strange movement in the north was Eddie, who had just become a curse mage. He was extremely weak at the moment and stayed near a river valley to the west of Leize City.

That is the upper reaches of the Agate River, a large river that cuts through Leize City, and its source can be traced back to the Joshua Mountains in the southwest.

No one in Leize City thought that the strange aura permeating the city was just a cover, and that the real cause of the spread of the plague was the water of the Agate River.

At this moment, Eddie is squeezing a few drops of green blood into the Agate River. This is his fixed arrangement these days. As long as his [Destiny Scale] has cooled down, he will come here to release it again.

During this time, he had been hiding in a wooden house not far from the edge of the river valley. It was originally a house built for his mother.

However, his mother passed away two years ago due to overwork, and left before even moving into the newly built house.

Even Eddie didn't expect that after he transformed into the undead, his mother would still protect him.

"It seems that after I recover a little, I will go to Wuhui City. It is the aura of the monarch."

He turned around and prepared to return to his house and take a good rest for two days. Originally planning to slowly destroy Leize City, he had a more important thing to do, which was to go to the City of No Return.

Therefore, he decided to leave after doing the last thing in Leeds City. This was something he only found out after he accidentally killed a Leeds City resident who was close to the river valley today.

"Leeds City has appointed Yogel, the former member of the Meister Manor, to become a city guard knight. In view of the important clues provided by the other party, there is a chance that the recent changes in Leeds City can be completely solved."

As soon as Eddie learned the news, he fell into rage.

There are two reasons. First, Yoger, who he had let go of for a while, turned out to be a lackey of the human race. Second, he actually told him that there was such a property near the river valley.

In other words, if the news is true, the house he built for his mother has been exposed.

Although Eddie could walk away, the hatred in his heart was overwhelming. Because the last trace of his mother in the world would be wiped out because of this, he hated it!

"Now that you've been exposed, Yogel, you have to pay the price for your actions. Since you chose to betray me, you should be prepared to die."

That's right, Eddie was planning to sneak into Leeds City and kill Yogel before leaving, because the other party would retaliate with revenge and ruin his last nostalgia.

However, he didn't know that the news was false from the beginning.

That was the fake news Tan Xiao asked City Lord Locke to send out.
