Zachary was still screaming, but his voice was confined by magic. No one cares about the alley, and blood lingers.
Uriel kicked Hugo Ungoul's body away, needing to calm down. The assassination is so simple and the success is so light. He was already prepared to fail, and the magic Joey gave him was ready to go. But everything went so smoothly that the apprentice couldn't help but feel a sense of disparity caused by exerting too much force.
A "beautiful" ring is rarely admired. "You are very suitable for this line of work"
It refers to Uriel's chosen target. Hugueb was more experienced than Zachary, so the most confident raids were used on him. When dealing with Zachary, the apprentice cut off the vampire's wrist with the first knife, and then used the second knife to knock the enemy down completely. Although apprentices are meant to be captured alive, most people will subconsciously choose the safest target that is most beneficial to their own safety, so as to give the other party a chance to escape. The ring really couldn't accept a newcomer like Uriel who was accurate and crisp. "I thought you would just draw your sword and charge forward to strike."
Suitable? I did it the first time. Uriel thought, but to no avail. He finally understood why the vampires reacted so quickly. The wizard's methods alerted them, but this time the apprentice did not give them a chance to resist. "It's time to reset your mind," he replied. "Let's leave quickly to avoid being discovered by the patrolling knights."
"What do you do with the body?"
good question. "Hide it." He suddenly realized that although he had killed many humans and non-human beings, he really had no experience in handling their corpses.
"I suggest you burn it. The wizard in the inn is not an ascetic monk from the Silent School, he uses black magic.』
"Dark magic?"
"Different from orthodox magic, oh, witchcraft, the mysterious effect of black magic is very strange, and it is more powerful than normal witchcraft."
"Then why is black magic not orthodox?"
His question pleased Sauron the Ring. "Powerful magic requires powerful fire to support it, because magic requires our will to mobilize. Witchcraft is also a type of magic. Even though there are many differences in form, there is no difference in essence. Black witchcraft creates a shortcut on the path of witchcraft. The user will have deep control of higher mysteries, but at the same time, their fire will also be oppressed by the mystery."
"The consequences must be very serious."
"You have seen what happened to Dorothea. Shiro's return to the tower shows that Larsen will only get worse. Don't look anxious. There's no point in being anxious. Rather, tell me about yourself. Is the Scroll of Oath easy to use? The same goes for its side effects." Sauron pointed out, "Orthodoxy is mysterious knowledge that is enough to be passed down, not a method of self-mutilation that will leave people half dead."
Uriel unconsciously held down the parchment. "Then I-"
"Divine magic is no better than witchcraft. Belief will strengthen your will, this is not just talk. As long as Bai doesn't speak, I'll let you do whatever you want."
"That wizard," Uriel said, "do you know his origins?"
"Most black magic is incomplete inheritance, and its origins can be very complicated."
Uriel didn't know much about the mysterious inheritance and Knox's history. He knows about the War of Dawn that drove away the evil dragon a thousand years ago, and also knows about the War of the Undead in Gavash and the War of the Saints in which the alliance disintegrated. But the inheritance mentioned in the ring refers to the mysterious power that was scattered on the land of Binya Aio before the establishment of the Great Alliance of Saint Mirend. They are phantoms of history, epic ballads that echo beyond records. They are lost secrets.
There is a foul smell from burning corpses. The skin and bones of the vampires are burned out first, followed by the organs and hair. In the end, all that was left of Hug Ungur was sticky blood. Uriel watched as a large mass of dark, nearly black liquid material squirmed on the ground. The golden flames of divine magic jumped on it, swallowing and wrapping every drop of blood, and burning them into dust-like ashes.
"The vitality of the vampires is contained in the blood," Sauron told him, "They do not have fatal weaknesses such as brain or heart, but it can be said that their whole body is full of weaknesses...as long as you hold a weapon made of mithril."
"There is also magic power." Uriel discovered before that if he did not inject magic power into the dagger, the effect of mithril would be extremely limited. Gaia's magic has no special bonus against the dark night race, maybe Lucia's priest magic will. All in all, it is the combination of magic power and some substances in the mysterious metal that exerts extraordinary lethality on the vampires.
The vampires use blood as the cornerstone of their survival, and can even replenish their magic power through blood. The apprentice suspects that their fire is also fueled by blood. Sauron had told him that there was indeed magic in the blood - mortal and mystical alike. Even though the mortals did not light the fire, their wounds healed because of the very small amount of magic power in the blood. In any case, the magic of soul communication is not achieved by "burning". The function of this process is to amplify and strengthen, rather than to create the ability out of thin air.
"Do you think the wizard can use black magic to find us?" the apprentice asked the ring as he dragged Zachary deep into the narrow back street.
"Black magic is very strange... What I mean is that I can't deduce what kind of mystery he will use." The black magic that has appeared has been recorded in the tower, but their types are increasing every year.』
Uriel thought of the wizard in the inn. With a wave of his hand, he exchanged places between the two people. "If you hadn't said witchcraft." He couldn't help but say, "I almost thought it was the power of the devil."
"demon? Their abilities will only become more evil』
Why don’t I think there’s something evil about “Spirit Vision”? Uriel didn't expect to hear any good comments from it. Until now, Sauron hadn't even recognized that his precognitive magic was not part of the Order.
But it's true. After calming down, Uriel realized that he did not feel the abnormal fire, and the black magic and demonic power were not the same. He was relieved at this discovery.
"He's awake" the ring reminded.
Uriel lowered his head and saw Zachary's closed eyes. But his wounds stopped bleeding. This can only be done by the vampires, because their blood will not coagulate on its own.
The bastard is pretending to be in a coma. If Sauron hadn't prompted him, he would definitely have planned to hear what I had to say. Uriel suddenly picked up his collar and pressed his face against the stone bricks. I'll let him listen. The apprentice drew the knife with his other hand.
"Sir!" Zachary wailed, "Please stop..." The wound burst open again, and he finally couldn't pretend anymore. "I can give you money!"
"I don't want money," Uriel said. "You took away many human children from the church. They were all babies that were just born. Where are they?"
"What human child...ahhhh!" His quibbles turned into a series of screams, because Uriel cut off one of his fingers with a knife.
Joey said that a knife is more effective than a threat. The apprentice thought he was right.
"I have truth potion." He actually didn't lie. "But I don't want to waste it on you."
"I sent them away!" This is the truth.
"I asked you where they were."
"The Requiem! The Requiem under the cliff. They are all there."
That's true. "I heard you." But Uriel had no intention of stopping. He pressed down on Zachary's shoulders, gritted his teeth and cut off another finger. The vampire screamed so sharply that Uriel's hand trembled and he almost dropped the knife. Torture was a skill that Joey had taught him, but the apprentice found it difficult to practice. "You... did send them to Requiem Castle, but it was closed."
"Don't let your prey find the opportunity to fool you." The messenger warned him. "It's easy to control actions, but the most important thing is to control thoughts. There are many ways to prevent others from thinking, and the simplest of them is emotions." As usual, he used the wrong words when explaining. Uriel thought that what he wanted to say was "feeling". .
The smell of panic emanated from Zachary, and he didn't know how much Uriel heard. Before he started to recall the nonsense he had with Hu Ge, the apprentice suppressed the nausea in his stomach and cut off his third finger with a knife.
"Ahhhh!...I said...I told me everything! Please stop...the children were sent to Gray Wing Island, a small island in the Sea of Singing...Wait! Not all!" He Feeling the burning pain when the silver knife gently scratched the skin at the base of the finger, he screamed in fear. "And some are in Screaming Keep! My father's castle! He's in charge of delivering fresh goods, really. He must have held back a lot! Please—"
Behind him, Uriel, who couldn't bear it, finally stabbed Zachary's throat with a silver knife. The vampire twitched and fell into the pool of blood that pooled on the masonry. The apprentice unrolled the parchment, bathing Zachary and his blood in flames.
"Do I need to help you find a trash can?" Ring sneered.
"No need." Uriel wiped the blood off the blade. "The dead look much quieter and more pleasing to the eye." He finally understood why executioner and interrogator were two different professions. For Gaia's sake, I should have brought the Mantra Potion. "The Screaming Keep. You know where it is, right?"
"Why don't you go to that Gray-winged Bird Island?"
"If Miss Roma catches up with Aiken, Mr. Zachary and Ms. Helen will find the children who were taken away together. If she doesn't catch up..." He paused for a moment, "I will go find them again." But. Hopefully I won't regret this.
Ring noticed his hesitation. "You don't understand Roma" it was written on the wall. "As I see it, even if she doesn't catch up, she won't go back to the tower with the lion." They have to go to that damn island"
"Thank you." Even if it wasn't entirely certain, it was still comforting. "Is Screaming Keep far away?"
"You're in luck. Screaming Castle is not close, but it is much better than Requiem Castle. The latter is the castle of the Blood Prince, located in the dark southwest region. The Screaming Keep is in Eastman, hidden in the valley near the Garden of Flowing Waters. Do you know the Garden of Flowing Water?"
"Not sure." Although he grew up in Eastman, Uriel had never left Four Leaf City before entering Knox. It was even his first time to visit the royal capital, Iron Claw City, and he was amazed by the rich and beautiful scenery in the north. "I have to rely on you to lead the way, wise Mr. Gessen."
"Why do I feel like this title has become cheap?" Or do all the words pass through your mouth like this?" Sauron sneered. "The Garden of Flowing Water is not far from Holly Town, and your riding skills have improved significantly... But I advise you to take a boat there." The Garden of Flowing Waters is full of swamps, even if you like that four-hoofed beast, it will not help.』
Uriel couldn't help but blush. From Iron Claw City to Holly Town, one has to pass through the wilderness, and there are wild beasts in the wilderness. In the end, he still wanted to come on horseback. On horseback, he always had the illusion that he was an adventurer. Mr. Larsen is right, I belong to the Foreign Office.
"But what about the wizard? He stayed in Holly Town, and black magic is very dangerous." Ms. Helen's teachings were not without effect.
"You are still an intern, don't get into the role so quickly. It’s normal for mysterious creatures to wander around, so why don’t you put a halter on them?」
"Well, I hope Holly Town's luck is as good as mine." Uriel knew the reason why the wizard was teasing the vampires, so he wasn't too worried. It would take some time for the corpse to be burned, so he waited patiently. Soon he would go out of the alley, return to the inn, sell the horse to the shopkeeper, and then board the rocking boat to the vampire castle in the swamp. Thinking of this, he felt depressed again. I should have discovered the truth sooner. I should take action in Brumnot and bring those guys in pious human skins to the goddess for judgment.
When leaving the convent, he entrusted Manet to Sister Delia. She was different from Dean Barnza and everyone else, and the girls trusted her. As for Sister Barnsa who participated in the sinful transaction, the apprentice kept her word, and her head is still hanging on a spear in the cemetery in the backyard. The night watchman was not even a knight's squire, and he had no idea about the filth in the backyard. Uriel chased him away. After all, Uriel was deeply relieved that the church's corruption had not spread to every branch.
"Wait a minute" When the flame was about to extinguish, Sauron suddenly tightened his fingers.
The apprentice groaned in pain. "What are you doing?" Why is this guy so crazy? Did the wizard come? Thinking of what he said in the inn, Uriel couldn't help but feel sad. He said that he saved their lives, which was true in the prophecy... Zachary would not have been alert when they met if the wizard had not reminded them. He drank the potion in time and caused great trouble to Uriel. Only after having had the experience of being forced to do something head-on could the apprentice choose to become an assassin.
"Don't you think you've forgotten something?" the ring wrote viciously, scraping away gravel in every stroke.
Uriel was confused. "What?"
"Mithril!" Sauron was extremely angry, "You said you would chop off their heads and send them in exchange for bounty." idiot! I think you have completely forgotten"
"It's useless to talk about this now..."
"fraud! Thief! ” The ring flew down and hit him on the head. "You still have a head, maybe you can make do with it," it said maliciously.
I bet you can figure it out. Uriel reached out to grab it while protecting his forehead. Somehow, he felt that he felt no guilt towards Sauron. It's definitely not just me.
