As for the fight for control of the Strings of the Magic Network, it is naturally in vain. Because of the character problem of "Eddie", it is impossible for Shado to fight for the Strings of the Magic Network above the third layer of the Magic Network. Although the other party is remotely and indirectly controlled, this
It's like a dimensionality reduction attack.
For a while, Xia Duo could only delay, but could not truly disintegrate.
But the delay can't be delayed for long. The magic network not far away in front of me is constantly surging, and it seems that a very complex and powerful spell is brewing. I don't know what the other party wants to do.
It's not Xia Duo's style to sit back and wait for death. Although there are many escape routes, he still wants to see if he can start directly from the opponent.
The last two [Dispel Magic] scrolls were activated, but the opponent's body still flickered with light, and it seemed that the short-term calming field was of no use at all [Biquge520 www.biquge520.me].
Now the situation has reached the final moment. Either we really show our trump card, Xia Duo's trump card, or we have to resist this unknown spell and see what Jilan City says.
Naturally, it is impossible for Xia Duo to place his own safety entirely on the safety of the projection or Jilan City. He has already begun to count down silently. Once he feels that the situation may be out of control, he does not care about revealing that he is a high-level mage.
, the worst case scenario is leaving the projection plane.
Anyway, he has gained a lot this year, but it is a pity that he cannot gain more.
"3,2——"
Before Xia Duo could reach "1", the strings of the magic web that had originally entangled him were quickly untied. At the same time, the magic aura not far ahead began to flicker and then disappeared.
The next moment, the resentful voice of "Mayor Beji" sounded, "You devils, you all deserve to die! I -"
The next words were blocked in his mouth, leaving only a reluctant whine.
Xia Duo opened his eyes, and the original bright light was gone. A beautiful female elf stood where "Mayor Beji" used to be, her eyes filled with flames of resentment.
Judging from the same short metal staff and clothing, this should be the true face of "Mayor Beji".
"Eddie, it's all thanks to you to catch this demonic lurker!"
Xia Duo looked back and saw that Osk had arrived behind him at some point, accompanied by a middle-aged mage with a gloomy face. Xia Duo quickly saluted.
Osker patted Shado on the shoulder, "No need to be polite, let me introduce you. This is Archmage McCarty, the third-level clerk of the Supervision Department. When you enter the Judgment Department, you will deal with him often."
"Yes, sir."
After chatting for a while, the three of them turned their attention to the imprisoned elf. McCarty squeezed out a rare and charming smile and said to Osk: "I will take this demon lurker away first. This time I really want to take it away."
Thank you, otherwise my assessment this month would be in trouble."
"They are all doing things for the empire, so there is no need to thank you. If you really want to thank me, please help me urge the person in charge of this task to complete the process quickly. This subordinate of mine is just waiting for this one to enter the Judgment Department!
"
"I understand, let's go first."
After saying that, McCarty teleported away with the elf.
…
As soon as McCarty left, the smile on Osik's face faded and turned serious, "Eddie, you did a good job this time, but there is one problem I must remind you!"
"Sir, what's the problem?"
"You told the demon lurker before that you could plead with the trial court on her behalf. Don't say that again in the future. Fortunately, this time it was me and McAdie who were recording and helping you erase that part. Otherwise, you would
That’s a lot of points lost.”
As if he felt that this was a bit too serious, Osk changed the topic again, "You should know by now that the so-called devil is just another kind of human being that is different from us. It also has feelings, cares, anger, and also has the power of magic.
, then do you know why the empire calls them 'demons'?"
Sha Duo was also confused about this question at first, but now, he has been in the Arcane Empire for more than a year, and he has long understood that when Osk asked this question, he didn't really want to see if he knew, but wanted to know.
Look at his attitude.
"Sir, demons are the natural enemies of mankind. If the second generation of great sages had not brought magic, humans would have been enslaved by demons long ago. Even if humans mastered magic, demons would not stop suppressing them for a day. The Arcane Empire is resisting
There will never be compromise between the empire, humans and demons!"
"It's good to know. If you had said that in the past, I don't need McCarty to report it. I would have judged you on the spot! Fortunately, since last year, the balance of war has begun to tilt towards the empire. Humanity and
It’s not true that the devil never compromises, but it’s best not to say that!”
Osk's words made Shado tremble in his heart. He didn't expect that the Arcane Empire's political correctness was so serious that even the Arcanist seeds could not be exempted. However, according to the historical records of the Arcane Empire, it was indeed the elves who attacked the empire first.
Xia Duo has no doubts about the authenticity of this record. After all, who is willing to fight life and death if it can develop safely and steadily? Not to mention that the Arcane Empire at that time was a weakling, and even now it is just a weak one.
Gained a little upper hand.
Osk didn't really want to punish Chateau. After a few reminders, he talked about his possible position in the Judgment Department. If nothing else happened, he should be a first-level clerk in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
And Xia Duo is his secretary. The Trial Department and the Supervision Department have very frequent contacts. That McCarty has long since given up being called a legendary mage and concentrates on operating within the system.
While the two were talking, a series of rapid footsteps and the sound of weapons clashing came from outside the town. Sha Duo knew that the ordinary soldiers had finally arrived, and Osk also stopped talking at this time.
"Do a good job of screening and don't let any devil believer go."
After saying this, Osk also teleported away.
…
From the moment Shado entered the field of warning magic, to when he killed two elves, to when he came outside the house and had a simple confrontation with "Mayor Beji", of course it can be said that Shado was waiting for support.
This period of time was actually very short, not even as long as the time Osk spent talking to him just now.
All the men in the town went to work, and most of the ones who stayed were women. In addition, the time was short and the movement was very small, so they were unable to react for a while.
However, the big noise of soldiers entering the town still alarmed them, and not only them, but also the men who were working outside also came back.
"Sir, everyone has arrived, please give the order."
"Let's gather the people in the town first!"
"yes!"
The captain responded and called his men to start gathering the townspeople. Just as the men and women came over, they gathered quickly. After Xia Duo announced his identity, he began to identify demon believers.
The Judgment Spell Scroll that was handed out before has finally been put to use.
It wasn't until the last person's [inquiry] was completed that Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps "Mayor Bei Ji", out of consideration for lurking, neither developed followers nor leaked the news.
In the end no one needs to stand trial.
As for further investigation, there is no need for Xia Duo to come, people from the Supervision Department will naturally do it.
…
After returning to Jilan City, Xia Duo was temporarily free. In addition to daily research, he was just finishing the matters at hand. He was waiting for the notification from above and was ready to enter the Judgment Department at any time.
