Chapter 170 He won’t come again

Colin, who returned to the castle, walked out of the laboratory without stopping.

As soon as he walked downstairs, he saw Walder bumping into him. After seeing the lord, he said with a serious face: "My lord, Ms. Madeleine, I'm afraid I can't survive..."

…

In a room on the third floor of the castle.

Madeleine's eyes were sunken and she was speechless as she lay on the bed.

This high-level magician, who was only sixty years old, had been bedridden for several months. At this time, anyone could see that he was not far from death.

The room was full of people.

Tessa, Roderick, Annie, Coral, and even Olivia were there.

Since the death of the Duke, Madeleine has lost her will, her spirit has been slack, and her body has slowly dried up. The reason why she is able to persist until now is partly because she wants to take more care of Sophia, her disciple, and partly because of the support of Coral and Ou

Livia’s contribution.

However, Coral's Holy Light spell is limited after all.

On the contrary, it was the elves' druids who helped Madeline stay alive for a long time.

As a natural spell inspired by the Mother Tree of Life, and cast by elves who are themselves a long-lived race, Druid spells have always had a role that does not belong to the Holy Light in terms of healing and recuperation.

And Olivia's powerful strength is beyond the reach of a dabbler like Coral.

However, no matter how magical the Druid magic is, it cannot save the hopeless Madeleine.

"grown ups."

"grown ups."

"..."

Colin walked into the room, and everyone moved out of the way.

Sophia lay half-lying on the bed, tears streaming down her face.

Madeleine touched the young girl's face with her skinny palms.

Colin squatted down. He had always been grateful to this lady who had given her great help in the early days of taking over the fortress, and gave him the greatest respect.

When Madeline saw Colin, she raised her palms slightly and moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she could no longer make a sound.

Colin nodded: "Madam, you will be buried outside the fortress, next to the Duke's tombstone."

Duke Oliver's body was originally sent to Thunder City, where the funeral was completed under the auspices of King Alan IV. It was then transported back to the fortress and buried with Duchess Barbara.

Colin thought that the Duke was still chanting his wife's name before he died, and felt sad for Madeleine.

The relationship between the two was very secretive, and Madeleine never mentioned it. However, at this time, Colin could clearly feel the other person's thoughts.

Madeleine hopes to truly tell others about her relationship with the Duke before she dies. This is a kind of indulgence before death, and it is also a relief for herself.

really.

After hearing Colin's words, Madeline's expression suddenly became peaceful.

After a while, her long and thin palms slowly returned to the bed, and she quietly closed her eyes and passed away.

Sofia held her teacher's body and burst into tears.

…

Outside Late Winter City, east of the fortress.

At the foot of a scenic slope in the Dragon's Back Mountains, next to Duke Oliver's grave, only Madeleine's name was written on the newly built tombstone.

After Colin waited for everyone to leave, he still stayed for a long time.

Death is still far away for him, but it will always touch him greatly.

The last time I felt like this was when I met Boyce Hawthorne.

Although the oldest magister in the Tulum Kingdom is still alive, from the news that Colin heard when he occasionally went back to visit his teacher, it may be difficult for him to survive next year.

By then, there will only be three magisters left in Tulum, while the Osik Empire has eight.

Although the Magister cannot control everything, high-end combat power still plays a very important deterrent role in this world.

Unfortunately, the other two magisters in Tulum are still young and basically rely on their teachers alone for support.

But teachers also get old sometimes.

One day, he will be like Sophia, throwing himself at the bedside, watching his teacher die but being unable to do anything. What kind of despair this will be like, Colin dare not imagine at all.

He was silent for a long time and sighed slightly.

After bowing deeply to the tombstones of Duke Oliver and Lady Madeleine, he prepared to turn around and leave.

But the next moment.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the cemetery.

Colin stood still, his eyes solemn.

He didn't know this person.

The opponent's strength was far beyond his knowledge.

What's more important is that this person has no hidden hostility towards him.

Although he didn't take action immediately, the huge mental pressure made Colin almost breathless.

Even when I had a head-on argument with Harris, I didn't feel this aggrieved.

And when he saw the opponent's arms inadvertently exposed under his large magic robe, Colin's hair stood on end and his scalp went numb.

It's dusk.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, this tall, thin, pale man wearing a black magic robe walked to Madeleine's grave. His indifferent face, which was originally difficult to identify his age, suddenly showed a hint of anger.

Colin could tell that this person was here for Ms. Madeleine, but he didn't dare to think too much about the bloody love triangle. With all his strength to resist the pressure, he secretly got the beads given by the teacher.

"You are better than I thought."

The man was silent for a long time, then suddenly turned around and looked at Colin.

"I've met Mr. Condra Guess." Colin resisted the pressure and tried to look relaxed.

"You recognize me by this, right?" The man raised his arm, which had a row of skulls the size of five coins tattooed on it.

"Yes, I know you are the only one who has the ability to kill five high-level necromancers and is accustomed to this kind of tattoo."

The new magister of the Osik Empire, Kondra Gus.

When he was in the Mage Tower, Colin also saw a letter from his teacher from the Royal Magic Council of Osik.

In the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed, and this powerful man who was promoted to magister for killing two high-level necromancers seems to have added three more impressive achievements.

Regardless of his identity or the reasons he speculated were related to Ms. Madeleine, this Ozik magister would not have any good intentions towards him.

For the first time since time travel, Colin truly felt the threat of death.

The teacher was far away in Thunder City, and he thought he was just next to the fortress, so he didn't let Glenn follow him. The peace of the past three years finally made him relax his vigilance.

Fortunately, he still has the last resort.

Even if he is not his opponent, Colin is confident that he can throw the beads given by the teacher before the opponent kills him.

The greatest role of a magister is to intimidate, which means that one cannot act easily.

Once Condra Gus dared to attack Colin Wayne and was discovered, no one could imagine how Roman Sagan would react.

"This is really a tempting opportunity." Condra Guess did not hide her intentions at all. Although she came only for Madeleine, she obviously did not want to miss this unexpected surprise.

"Do you know Mr. Gus and Ms. Madeleine?" Colin did not throw out the beads immediately, but first tried to stabilize the other party with words. Because the teacher only had one of these beads, and once he used them casually, he would lose everything in the Western Continent.

Got a trump card.

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

Condra sneered: "I originally thought that Roman Sagan didn't value you, so he sent you to a place like this, but judging from your performance, that shouldn't be the case. Maybe I can really try,

What happens once you die."

Perhaps it was because he had been dealing with pirates and necromancers in the East China Sea for many years. Condra Gus was the most ungrateful high-level magician Colin had ever seen.

Colin no longer hesitated and was immediately ready to raise his hand.

However, before he could make any move, an arrow suddenly shot out.

The ordinary wooden feather arrow was stuck on the ground not far away from the two of them, and it swayed powerlessly, as if a beginner had missed the target.

However, just such an ordinary arrow caused Condra to immediately restrain his momentum.

Colin felt the pressure disappear instantly.

Looking at the empty surroundings, this unruly mage's eyes became more and more stern.

He looked at Colin and asked:
