"I don't feel safe until that damn dark wizard is dead," said Earl DeWitt. "You better deal with him."
"Okay. As you wish, Lord Earl."
Uriel does not need to take out the Scroll of Oath. He held the golden sacred ring in the air and swung it gently. "Sanctuary" appeared out of nowhere on the witchcrafted living dead knight, and he indeed began to struggle violently again. Earl DeWitt cursed in a low voice. Mortals probably wouldn't have imagined that this thing could still pretend to be dead.
"I have never seen this kind of black magic." As the son of the queen, court scholars must have taught Dewitt a lot of mysterious knowledge, at least more than Uriel. His words sounded more reliable than Dandelphin's. "Will this kill the dark wizard who controls it?"
"The most it can do is deplete his power. Dark wizards are not necromancers, and their magic is not always related to the soul like the undead." This is not a high-level puppet either. Interestingly enough, these things were actually told to him by the dark wizard himself. Uriel cast magical protection on the room, but the knight of the living dead on the carpet still jumped up and stabbed his former companion, so the dark wizard proudly showed off his strategy before dying. Unfortunately, that is just a dream for the future. "I was just preventing him from hurting anyone."
Uriel moved closer to the struggling guard, the unfortunate creature pounding the ground with his armor and boots. He held the opponent's shoulder with one hand, and pressed the magical dagger close to the fragile throat with the other hand. Goddess Mercy. No one is living in your body right now. "I don't think anyone here can save him."
Earl DeWitt snorted, "You don't need to explain."
Uriel killed him.
The dark wizard's puppet went completely still. This witchcraft can only work on living people, but it seems to be more taboo than necromancy. A strange mystery was transmitted to the magical environment through the last beat of the heart. Uriel concentrated his energy, and his demonic fire captured it as expected.
The Knight of Proverbs seems to be a type of priesthood of Gaia, but it is not mentioned at all in the canon. The scroll of oath only contains Uriel's job transfer contract and the divine quotes that appear temporarily when using it. But after a long period of exploration, he has obtained certain characteristics of this mysterious profession: no matter what magic, as long as he touches the mysterious body, it will show its own "explanation".
"As a puppet, my heart is as solid as stone."
Before returning to the Six-Finger Castle, "Sacred Word Evocation" allowed him to master the same magic, but Uriel couldn't use it to make the puppet break free, but now...
“Those who are harmed by evil will retaliate with evil.”
"Absolute Directive"
The outpouring of magic power surprised the apprentice. Fortunately, with the help of the Scroll of Oath, this first-ever high-level magic was finally completed. The mystery is transformed into invisible threads under the checks and balances of the law, tracing all the way back along the traces left on the corpse. Even counting the experience of future dreams, this was Uriel's first experience in the process of performing black magic. He felt that he suddenly became some kind of particle that was not affected by matter, floating in a plane that was very different from the real space.
"Absolute Command" is the superior magic of "Sacred Word Evocation", and its effect and mystery are far beyond the original. Uriel can even rely on "explanations" to reversely manipulate the caster, but it limits the target's mystery to be below him. Most of the time, this is hardly a drawback. He looked down at the palm of his hand and saw a tiny black line sprouting from the center, straight upward, and the other end reached into nothingness.
No. He noticed that it was not nothingness. The magic was trembling, and heat was transmitted through the threads. Uriel wanted to control it, but he couldn't. Needless to say, the other end of this thing is probably connected to the dark wizard's brain, which may be more cooked than the bean paste that has been cooked on the stove for three hours. The apprentice is a bit disgusting. He waved the golden sword, and the thin thread was cut off, turning into black smoke and entering the fireplace.
His palms were hot. What's this? Uriel had no choice but to use the Holy Word to summon ice cubes to cool down. In just a few seconds, the ice turned into melted water.
Count DeWitt has been watching Uriel's movements. "The price of black magic." His expression was quite confused. "Master Messenger, are you the one who knows black magic, or are you influenced by the other party?"
"I know something about black magic." Uriel answered vaguely. Joey even used black magic to communicate in the past, but no one said anything. It must be normal for his apprentice to be slightly involved. The Scroll of Oath is related to the "Confessions". The wizard has not yet evacuated Lighthouse Town, so it is best not to mention it at this time.
Speaking of sect wizards, I don’t know what excuse Linde will use this attack to excuse. In the eyes of Shania Ravenas, the law wizard, whether it is to wait and see or intervene, there are really too many reasons for the Silent School to stay in Eastman.
"Then his master now...?"
"I killed him." The guard changed hands so quickly, sir? In any case, Uriel's guarantee also showed its effectiveness at this time. "You are safe, my lord."
The Lord of the Bay put the cup down. "This is probably not the last assassin in the Council Tower," he reminded. It seems that he still wants to adjust his attitude.
Uriel glanced out the window.
"No. He's the last one."
The witchcrafted glass shattered with a crash, and the White Envoy stepped on the broken pieces and entered the study. His hands were empty, and there was still anger underneath his stiff expression. He glanced at Count DeWitt, and fear radiated to every corner of the room like a halo. The Bay Lord exhaled in a mist, his chest pounding. His guards also looked frightened, as if they were about to turn around and run away.
"What's going on in the church?" Uriel broke the frozen atmosphere.
Bai Zhizhi didn't say a word. He waved his arm in a big motion. The whole wall crashed and fell apart like bones and tendons. All the stones fell out of the tower. The cold wind extinguished the fireplace. Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid the situation is more serious than imagined.
The ice and snow walkway spreads from the feet of the messenger to the park two streets away, like a suspended ladder in the air. He motioned for them to get out of here. Uriel looked around and saw that the garden streets below were entirely covered in a layer of thick fog, extending all the way to the pier. "Is it witchcraft?"
"Magic," the messenger told him, "the magic of the Nameless One. This is the counterattack of the Misty Star Society."
This famous secret society seems to have many names... funny sayings. "What's in the fog?"
"Puppets. I've seen a lot of them in San Carlos. They use the fog to hide, but the wind is also very strong on the coast, and it will clear up after a while."
"Those puppets are alive."
Joey nodded, but there was no connection between his actions and his words. "No better than the dead. Let's go to Black Whale Street." It turned out that he was pointing in the direction of Tielong Port. However, it is too late to distinguish these details for the time being.
Count DeWitt seemed to want to say something. He looked like he had just recovered from his fright. The messenger ignored his hesitation and stared steadily at the east. A sharp sense of crisis enveloped everyone, and they all looked behind the apprentice in unison. what happens? He suddenly felt the burning magic power.
But before Uriel could turn around, he was kicked off the discussion tower by his mentor. The stairs become a slide, followed by weightlessness, turns and endless acceleration. He was dizzy and out of breath. The ice kept sucking away the heat from his back. The apprentice reached out to grab it, but he couldn't hold it at all. His head hit the smooth railing on one side, and his ears buzzed. He might break his neck when he lands at this rate. Why would Joey take it out on me?
Uriel was caught in the soft grass that had been carefully tended by the gardener during the day. He knelt on the ground to suppress his nausea, feeling pain in his knees and elbows where he landed. Suddenly, a cracking explosion sounded behind him, and Uriel subconsciously turned over and sat down on the grass. He looked up and saw flames shooting out of a room at the top of the Senate Tower. The bright light forced the apprentice to close his eyes, only hearing roars and vibrations. He lifted the magic and looked again. The spire and balcony components fell one after another, and the entire tower seemed to be peeling off under the attack of heat as if it were a low-quality match.
Uriel opened his mouth, too shocked to speak. Someone attacked the tower? Also targeting the bay lord's chambers. The upper half of the slide fell together with the attic of the meeting tower. The exit of the second half was not far from the apprentice, but no one came down again.
At this moment, a spear of lightning swept through the night sky and hit the stone tower. Flames and thunder burst out together, the explosion was brief and rapid, but the rumbling thunder echoed endlessly in the town. One of the landmarks of Beacon Town collapsed under the strong attack, and the majestic building instantly turned into low ruins. A large stone slab fell from the sky and was inserted into the oak tree on Uriel's left. The apprentice quickly got up. It must have been this magical lightning that Joey and Earl DeWitt saw before. Where are they? He felt that his head was still not clear and the world was spinning.
