Volume 3 Blood and Fire Chapter 177 The Mancis School (…
When the new man is in high spirits, it is often the time when the old man is frustrated.
There is a manor outside the palace. Because Peter I is getting married today, all the maids and servants have been seconded to the palace to prepare for the wedding. This manor looks very deserted.
There is an elegant two-story building in a courtyard of the manor. The lawn in front of the building and the garden behind the building are all made by masters. The pools, rocks, and trees are scattered and unique.
Incompatible with the festive atmosphere in the imperial capital of Waldenhof, a sound of breaking utensils was heard from a room on the second floor.
A young and beautiful woman was sitting in front of the dressing table, losing her temper wantonly. Pieces of porcelain were scattered on the floor.
Even when she was angry, she still couldn't hide her cold temperament, and her charm was still very moving.
This woman was none other than Helen, Peter I's lover and right-hand man.
There was also a maid in the room, standing aside in fear and trembling, not daring to say a word.
After a while, Helen regained her composure. She clearly realized that with her identity, there was no other possibility except to be Peter I's underground lover, not to mention that she still had her own mission.
Helen suddenly felt inexplicably agitated and uneasy, and casually waved away the shivering maid beside her.
She simply walked into the inner room, stayed away from the door, and walked back and forth near the floor-to-ceiling window near the garden. She walked hundreds of times. Helen finally couldn't restrain her increasingly depressed mood and tried to call out to the organization.
But Helen's way of calling was unusual.
She was pacing back and forth, tapping her fingers on the table as if inadvertently.
There was a strange rhythm in her tapping movements. Gradually, it seemed as if the whole room was pulsing with the tapping sound, but her face slowly turned pale, as if her fingertips touched the table every time.
Every contact touched her life.
In the invisible void, Helen's knocking sound could be heard. The basic rules supporting the plane crystal were affected at this moment, just like a small stone was thrown into the calm lake, and the ripples were teleported far away.
Got out.
This is the secret method of the Master of the Mensis School. After a long period of rigorous and almost cruel training, ordinary people may also touch the rules of the world through this method.
The fluctuations in the world of rules can travel thousands of miles in an instant. In this way, Helen passed the news without anyone noticing.
Just now, she conveyed all her plans.
However, since it is the rule of the world, there is no way to escape the law of balance. This kind of communication is expensive. If it is an ordinary person, it may burn up his life in one go. Most of it is used to leave important last words before his death.
But for Helen, these vitalities are not important. She has many ways to make up for it.
In the great whirlpool of the endless sea, there is a strange place. This is the center of the huge whirlpool, but it seems extremely calm and peaceful.
In the center of the maelstrom, there is actually a small continent floating. This land is only a few hundred kilometers in diameter. It is surrounded by a transparent protective shield to keep out the violent waves and rapids.
There are four distinct seasons on the land. The scenes of spring, summer, autumn and winter appear in the four corners respectively. On the snow-capped mountains in the north, a majestic ancient castle stands.
The castle does not have too many decorations. It is built entirely of black rough rocks. In the square in front of the castle stands a tombstone and an eyeball statue, which represent death and omniscience.
An old mage sat on the upper terrace of the castle, reading a thick magic book attentively. Occasionally he felt tired, and would stand up to move his body and look into the distance.
The northern part of the land is a knife-like cliff, and the terrace protrudes from the top of the cliff. From this angle, you can look back and overlook the entire continent. If you look forward, your field of vision is filled with swirling ocean currents.
Due to the obstruction of the invisible barrier, the water of the Endless Sea cannot pour into the continent. Instead, it forms a ring-shaped wall that surrounds the entire continent.
This small piece of land can actually exist safely in the maelstrom. This is already greater than a miracle. It cannot be described by the word miracle. Only the word great is appropriate enough.
The old man sighed softly and said to himself:
"Only here can we truly appreciate the greatness of the world. No matter how we call ourselves kings and saints, how can we compete with the power of the world? No matter how many rules we control, we are just borrowing the power of the world. Only here , Only when you see this endless sea with no rules can you realize the insignificance of human life."
The old man returned to his seat and continued to read books, as if he was looking at a beloved woman.
In the secret room under the castle, a young man was sitting. He was leaning on the back of a chair. There was a huge magic book in front of him that was almost half his height. He was reading it drowsily.
At this moment, a floor-to-ceiling mirror hanging on the wall of the secret room suddenly lit up, and a brilliance like water waves appeared on the mirror, and then a series of magic symbols appeared and floated.
The young man jumped up from his seat with excitement, quickly took the magic paper and pen, and carefully recorded these symbols. He checked them three times in succession before he dared to put down the magic pen.
The symbols that appeared in the mirror gradually disappeared, and the young man breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly he felt very uncomfortable. When he looked down, he realized that in just a short period of time, his clothes had been soaked with sweat.
He recognized all the magic symbols in the mirror, but he didn't recognize them when put together. The young man only knew that his first priority was to copy the magic symbols completely when they appeared in the magic mirror. Come down, there can be no mistakes, and there are four apprentices taking turns guarding the secret room, including the young man.
The young man has been on duty in the secret room for five years, and this is the first time he sees the magic mirror transmitting information.
He folded the magic paper carefully, then rushed to the top floor of the castle. Before stepping onto the terrace, the young man carefully blessed himself with seven or eight protective magics, and then he dared to open the door to the terrace.
The interior of the castle is protected by an ancient and huge magic circle, but this is not the case on the terrace. Although the entire land is covered by the protective shield, the violent hurricanes of the Endless Sea will still penetrate a little.
Even though this was the center of a peaceful maelstrom, just a small amount of hurricane force was enough to be fatal to his low strength. Without any protection, he would probably be blown away in an instant.
At this time, the young man was full of respect for the old mage on the terrace. The old mage often studied magic books on the terrace and stayed there for several days.
The young man hurriedly walked up to the old mage, put the copied magic paper on the table, and said respectfully, "Teacher, there is a message from the magic mirror, and I have copied it here."
The old mage raised his head and said to the young man: "You did a good job this time. Being able to get the news about the magic mirror also shows that you are very lucky. Luck is proof that you are favored by the world. Well, now you go to Lawrence University immediately If you can withstand the small test, you will be his official student."
The young man was overjoyed and quickly agreed, then retreated to the castle.
The old mage calmed down and read the information on the magic paper repeatedly until the magic paper slowly dried up, turned yellow, and then turned into white ash. Then he sighed and stood up slowly.
This is a message from his beloved disciple Helen. She wants to use the secret method of the Manses school to seize the body of Catherine, Queen of the Alplekes Empire, and then influence Peter I, Alplekes, and finally To the continent of Toril.
The secret method of seizing a body is an undisclosed secret of the Mensis school. It can be used on people whose souls are weaker than one's own, thereby annihilating the soul of the person who has been taken away and occupying their body.
However, the secret method of seizing the body is not without cost. First, it must be used by someone who is weaker than your own soul power, otherwise it will immediately suffer backlash and annihilate your own soul.
In every seizure, a considerable part of the soul's power will be lost. If the soul's power is seriously damaged, the best result is to become an idiot and mentally retarded, and the worst result is that the soul is wiped out.
The old man agreed with Helen's plan. After occupying the body of Queen Albrex, he could do many things that were impossible or inconvenient to do before, not to mention that Queen Catherine was just an ordinary person.
However, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run.
