Chapter 24 The Three Kings

“Why…”

The overseer looked all around, and the electric light of the [Teleportation] magic did not appear in the original imagination.

“Weird?”

William asked.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, William appeared next to the overseer in the next instant,

He put a hand on the other party’s shoulder and said.

“Didn’t I say it? You are the only one here today who will die. You don’t need to call a few more people to die together.”

Why? when? How did you do it?

The forehead of the overseer was cold sweat dripping down instantly, he stammered.

“You…you wait a minute, I’m Duke Simon’s court mage, if I die, the Duke will know soon enough, when the time comes you’re going to be against the whole Thorn City…

” …”

“Oh, so what?”

Before he could say the following words, the hand on his shoulder jumped with lightning, “pa ta”, and he doubled up. He fell to the ground with a soft knee, and the lightning made him lose consciousness.

“Are you… crazy? This is the court mage sent by the duke!”

Seeing the man who claimed to be the presiding judge put the overseer on the ground face to face, Sigmund finally sobered up, and the next move made his scalp tingle.

A sharp Icicle appeared in the man’s hand, and it was shaking slightly against the overseer’s neck.

Too many things have happened in the mine today that are beyond his knowledge, whether it’s the skull temple, the soul-eating nerubian parasitic in his throat, or his own cognition. Modified since months.

His brain had been in a humming shutdown state before, maybe because those things were too far away from what he usually came into contact with, even if he actually witnessed it, it didn’t make him feel Too much realism.

However, when he saw that the presiding judge planned to kill the Duke’s court mages directly, he finally found something he could understand and sobered up.

What it means to kill a registered mage, especially a court registered mage, is still very clear to Sigmund.

William glanced back at Sigmund, the Icicle in his hand didn’t stop, and pierced the overseer’s throat neatly.

“Is there a problem?”

The man asked.

Looking at the overseer who had completely died, Sigmund shivered to take a deep breath.

“Each registered mage is engraved with a recording spell called ‘Reverberation’, which is linked to the Star Lighthouse and records the last sight he saw before he died. Duke Simon is Have the power to call and view the records in the Star Lighthouse, you’ll soon know that you just killed the Court Mage, and when the time comes you’ll be wanted throughout the Blackwater Province.”

Magic Chant Singers are extremely precious existences in this era.

Limited by the number of Star Lighthouses and the density of the etheric circuits built in the Star Realm, the total amount of magic power that the Star Law can channel from the Star Realm into the world is very limited, so it is possible to use that magic power The number of registered lawyers is also very limited.

According to the public data of the Platinum Circle Alliance, at present, the entire star law system can only maintain about 20,000 mages at the same time, while the actual legal registered mages on the Vic continent are only 12,000. Just start.

Compared to the population of the Vic continent, those people are truly elite.

Bloodline, resources, innate talent, diligence, only those with multiple characteristics, or even all of the above four points, can become a true mage.

Because mages are so precious and rare, it is clearly stipulated in the laws of the empire that killing registered mages is an absolutely unforgivable death penalty.

Generally speaking, the one who can kill a mage is often another mage, so there is a whole chapter in the law of stars about reducing the rules of killing each other between mage: for example, it strictly stipulates the application of mage duel Situation and battle rules, minimize casualties in mage duels.

For example, when Star Lighthouse registers the title of mage, the awakening instructor will set a spell called “reverberation” in the etheric domain of each mage. One is to make those who try to murder the mage refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases to have concerns, and the other is that even if a mage is killed, local law enforcement can rely on the last thing he saw before his death. The sight identifies the murderer.

“Interesting, but these things shouldn’t be knowledge that a miner should know, right?”

After listening to his explanation, the other party seems to be concerned about taking over the fate that he is about to be wanted. I’m not very worried, but I’m a little curious about why I know so much about magic casters.

“Where did you know about the ‘reverberation’ technique?”

Sigmund looked at the other party with no flustered expression, and hesitated for a while before saying.

“I used to be an innate talent as well, and even went to Offa University prep.”

“What does it mean to be? I’ve never heard of innate talent. It can still disappear.”

Sigmund hearing this smiled sadly.

“Of course it didn’t disappear, but was bought.”

“Bought?”

William was interested.

“I don’t know how. My mother was very ill at the time, but going to church for treatment required a lot of money. There was a mysterious person in a mask looking for Get on me and ask me if I’d like to sell him my innate talent.”

Sigmund said, lost in memories.

“Because I was in a hurry to spend the money, I agreed to him. He took out a transfer contract for me to sign with blood, and then carved my numerology horoscope on my chest with a serrated dagger. The mirror image. He gave me ten gold Riel afterwards. Since that day, my sense of magic has become worse and worse. After about a year, I can’t feel any magic at all even in Star Lighthouse. At that time, I was persuaded to quit by Offa University, and I went to many places and finally came here.”

When the other party was talking about his past, William used spell [Magic Detection] to simply probe it. Sigmund’s magic fluctuates.

The etheric domain of the ordinary person is like a mist that forms a human-shaped outline and wraps around the body, while the etheric domain of the magic caster is concentrated in the brain or heart, and then flows out magic circulates in the body.

But Sigmund’s etheric domain is a reversed constellation diagram formed by several stars on his chest, and magic power is constantly escaping from there.

His sense of numerology and constellations was grafted onto other people’s bodies, which also prevented him from accumulating more magic power in the etheric domain.

Like a bucket that keeps leaking.

Theoretically, if he built his own circuit in the etheric realm by meditating on himself, instead of relying on the resonance of his numerology constellation and the laws of the stars, he could still restore his magical innate talent, but he is not The innate talent of the magic of the numerology constellation is completely lost.

Of course, this has also become what is now called a heretic mage.

“And then?”

Thinking of this, William continued to ask.

“What came later?”

Sigmund asked curiously.

“What happened to your mother afterward, is he saved?”

Sigmund lowered his head when he heard the question.

“No, one of the patients in the same batch was infected with blood-sucking fever. The priest didn’t find out in time to isolate it. That night that patient had a seizure and killed all the patients, completing the promotion of vampire to ceremony. Then ran away.”

“Have you ever regretted it?”

William asked, looking Sigmund in the eyes.

“Regret what, regret saving my mother?”

“Regret giving up my chance to become a magic caster.”

hearing this Sigmund He also looked into William’s eyes seriously and said.

“I do regret that I didn’t get the chance to become a magic caster, but for no other reason than that I never got the chance to kill that vampire myself.”

“Very well.”

William nods and patted the other’s shoulder.

“What’s good?”

William suddenly changed the subject, looking towards the overseer he had killed earlier.

“Aren’t you curious about why I dared to kill this court mage? To be honest, I didn’t even know there was a spell called ‘reverberation’ before you told me about it. Such a thing.”

“Isn’t that…”

“Of course, even if I knew about this thing, I would still kill him. Because if I don’t kill him, hide The thing inside him wouldn’t be exposed.”

“What?”

A flame shot out from William’s spell medium, almost white in the When he was about to touch the overseer’s body, a black miasma suddenly permeated out, wiping out the flame.

The overseer’s otherwise silent corpse staggered to his feet like a marionette.

“So you already noticed that? It’s really boring. I originally planned to wait for you to leave, and let my children eat all the people here one by one.”

A hoarse voice came from the overseer’s throat, which had been pierced, and then the body began to twitch and deform. It was as if something took the corpse as a cocoon that was about to burst and hatch.

With a shattering sound of flesh and blood, a Moon Realm monster with a lithe and graceful upper body and eight spider legs on the lower body emerged from the corpse, and a thick burst. The miasma filled her surroundings, covering her hidden parts.

The Whispering Queen’s Familia, the Web Weavers.

“Then when you come back, you will see them waiting for you with a calm expression. Before you can breathe a sigh of relief, all of them suddenly shattered into pieces. By then , your expression must be very wonderful.”

“When I saw the nerubians, I knew there must be web weavers. They are like lesser to you. -demons, like the Staggering Demon, are fragments of the power of the mighty Moon Realm.”

William replied calmly.

The web weaver stretched his limbs, and then the thick miasma condensed into a long spear covered with barbs in his hands.

“Aiya, didn’t expect anyone to know the characteristics of the web weavers now. I thought that since that star law was promulgated, all the information about the web weavers group was destroyed. Now.”

“Is that overseer your contractor just now?”

William asked.

The beautiful and alluring Weaver chuckled.

“Do you think if he were, you could banish me back to Moon Realm just by breaking the statue of my Lord behind you? I’m sorry to tell you that he isn’t, My real contractor just let me possess him as the last insurance to protect this temple.”

Sigmund felt a chill down his spine when he heard this.

The evil thing in front of me was summoned by Duke Simon, so everyone here today will definitely die, no matter what Duke Simon will not let the secrets here be exposed.

“Signing a contract with the Whispering Queen, who symbolizes conspiracy and betrayal, there is probably something wrong with that Duke Simon’s head.”

“Seeing the spirit of the high-ranking Moon Realm, If you don’t run away, I think there’s something wrong with your brain, little brother.”

William laughed indifferent expression and continued.

“So what is the purpose of that Duke Simon excavating this temple? Since he dares to sacrifice to the three Void Kings at the same time, I don’t believe that he just wants to dig more Elemental Silver mines. ”

The web weaver was walking around in circles around William, and when she heard the question, she stopped, just to keep the three statues of Goddess behind her.

“Are you kidding me?”

“If you don’t want to talk, you can choose to fight first.”

William said, with the spell in his hand. Fire lit up.

“he he he, you’re so interesting, I’m a little curious about who you are now. Paladin of the Demon Burial Agency has brain problems, and the demonhunter of the Tower of Oblivion doesn’t even have a personality. , now only these two organizations can get in touch with the knowledge of Moon Realm, but you are not like, is it possible that you are also a contractor of Moon Realm?”

It said Gives William a charming smile.

“Well, I have sworn that I will never tell the purpose of my contractor, so although I really want to tell you the whole picture of that great deed, and then appreciate your fear and despair. expression, but unfortunately I can’t do it at all.”

Is that true?

William sighed slightly, feeling that the situation is much more serious than he originally thought.

Since there are three statues of the Void King, it proves that Duke Simon is definitely more than just a contract with the Whispering Queen.

What is the so-called “great cause” that he signed a contract with three Void Kings at the same time to accomplish, although he is not very clear, but to what extent the three of them can do things together, William is in the game Still know it.

The three troublesome and careful Goddess teamed up to seabed an island inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people because they didn’t want to openly believe in themselves.

“So little brother, can you tell me which organization you belong to? Is it the Demon Burial Organ, the Tower of Oblivion, or any other Moon Realm sect?”

>

asked the web weaver, stroking the long spear.

“Is there a possibility that I’m actually from The Last Watcher?”

The web weaver “puchi” laughed.

“Hahahahahaha, you really can tell a joke, The Last Watcher? This is all eight or nine hundred years ago, right? Are you listening to too many bard stories or what?”

William raised the sword in his other hand, the weapon that could truly destroy the Moon Realm monsters—Judgment II.

“Then I’ll be blunt. I belong to The Last Watcher, a member of The Thirteenth Tribunal.”
