Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 49 Black Magic Array
"It's not here yet!" Stannis complained, already on the horse and about to fall asleep.

Evelyn glanced back at him, as if she had become the guide now.

They had already crossed the river and wandered in the black forest on the east bank for a long time. Not to mention the black wizard, they didn't even see a human being.

The white-haired girl relied on her childhood memories to find her way in this dense forest, with a burden that only knew how to complain.

Because it was too boring, Stannis actually took the initiative to start a conversation, "Evelyn, can I call you Evelyn?"

Evelyn glanced at him, wondering how he was trying to hurt herself again.

"I think there must be some misunderstanding between us." Stannis found himself the only one who couldn't figure it out.

The girl didn't answer him, she felt something abnormal around her.

"We were very good friends when we were young, and this friendship is precious, so I really don't want our relationship to become like this." Stannis, like him in reality, really doesn't know how to get along with girls. get in a word.

"Friendship?" Evelyn's scary eyes appeared again.

Stannis was terrified by this look, he knew he had said the wrong thing, "Of course our relationship seems to be a little bit more than friendship, but I didn't expect to cut your wrist twice for me, Isn't that a bit too much, the flower of life is so beautiful, how can you despise your own life like this?"

"My life is mine, what I want to do is none of your business."

He was choked by this sentence and had nothing to say, it seemed that he was still not suitable for cooking chicken soup for the soul.

But he is still not reconciled, how can he find out where he and this woman have gone without revealing his true identity?
So he began to beat around the bush and probe, "I know I'm sorry for you, but I already have a fiancee."

At this time, he used Anist as a shield again.

But it seems to be counterproductive, "You seem to be sorry for her no less than me."

"I..." Stannis wanted to say something more, but was interrupted directly by Evelyn.

"To shut up."

Stannis quickly covered his mouth.

The girl got off the horse, and she seemed to have found some traces. After fastening the horse, she began to bend over and walk in the bushes.

The lord also followed her on tiptoe.

"What's wrong?" He couldn't help asking.

Evelyn straightened her body, and two Hidden Blades popped out from her long black sleeves.

"The smell of dark magic," she said, striding forward.

Although he couldn't understand what she was saying, Stannis also followed up with the long sword tied to his belt, but not to protect her, but to firmly remember the most important principle of going out to explore: never split up to die action.

They came to a large clearing where the trees had disappeared, as if uprooted.

"What... what's wrong with this?" Stannis looked at the scene in front of him, speechless in surprise.

Evelyn squatted down, picked up a piece of soil and crushed it, which was mixed with sawdust and green scorched chips. She smelled it again, the smell of death.

"It should be the Death Curse. The black mage seems to have practiced magic here, and those trees should have been hit by the Death Curse and turned into powder." She clapped her hands and stood up, looking at the black mage from the situation here. The mage should have been away for a long time.

"So powerful?" Stannis felt that this kind of magic was like an anti-matter weapon, and it really was a fantasy world where black technology was rampant.

"You, look for what is left of that mage again?" Evelyn said in an orderly tone.

Stannis had to follow suit, but he was very reluctant.

"I'm looking for what the mage left behind..." He squeezed his voice and imitated the girl's tone, and rummaged through the ruins full of resentment.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, because under an inconspicuous tree stump, he found a small black cloth bag.

"Hey, what have I found!" he shouted to Evelyn in the distance.

The woman came in response to the sound, but with sharp eyes, he noticed in advance that there was a golden light reflected from the mouth of the cloth bag.

gold!Stannis was overjoyed, and he quickly reached out and grabbed the cloth bag.

"Don't touch it." Evelyn panicked and tried to stop him.

But it was still too late, Stannis had already grabbed the cloth bag in his hand, and dug it heavily, and there was a crisp sound of coins colliding with each other.

"What's the matter?" He looked puzzled, "Is there any reason in the world not to pick up money?"

Before he finished speaking, a huge black shadow slowly rose from around them, forming a shape of a frying pan and covering them in it.

"It is!" Even an idiot like Stannis knew what was going on.

A drop of sweat slid down Evelyn's side face, "Damn it, this is a black magic circle—choose death."

Stannis doesn't understand at all.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to be fooled so easily!"

After a standard villain's line, a tall, thin man in black robe came out.

You don't need to think about it to know that he is the black mage.

"Little Evelyn, unexpectedly we meet again." The man said proudly.

Evelyn didn't answer, she seemed to be looking for a way to break the magic circle.

"You guys know each other?" Stannis asked strangely. He thought Evelyn was just chasing this guy and had never met him.

"Of course, she has been chasing us here ever since we stole a scroll of blood magic from the Hall of the King of Law." The black mage shook his head distressedly, and it seemed that he was also in a dilemma.

Uh... these sisters are really patient.

"In the end, we really couldn't stand being chased by Evelyn, so we wanted to sit still and not take a counterattack. After setting up the black magic trap and creating the illusion that we had already left here, we Collect all the money on your body, put it in a purse and throw it on the ground as a trap, I didn't expect the crow to be so greedy for wealth, hahahaha!" The black mage looked up to the sky and laughed proudly.

"Actually, I picked up the purse..." Stannis admitted embarrassedly, holding up the black bag.

The black mage choked on his own laughter, "Ahem...who are you!"

"I am the lord of this generation, please advise me." Stannis touched his head.

The performance of these two singing together like clown actors did not affect Evelyn who was on the side. She seemed to be still thinking about how to get out of the magic circle.

"It's useless." The black mage shook his head confidently. "You know the power of this magic circle. Once it is triggered, even the most powerful mage will have to accept the choice of death."

The choice of death?What does it mean.The curious Stannis wanted to ask a question but was interrupted by Evelyn.

"Then let's try." She said slowly, her voice was like the ice of deep winter, "Let's see how many chances the heartless people have to survive."

After finishing speaking, she turned her eyes to the man beside her.
