Volume 1, The Wizard's World Chapter 113, After the Great War
From the time they hid in the basement, Ian had no way of knowing the fighting situation between the mentors and Roger. Under this situation, they were completely disconnected from the outside world, only being reminded by shell-like explosions from time to time.
The battle outside them is still not over yet.
The crazy magic storm raged for an unknown amount of time, and the rumbling sound also continued for such a long time. The ground kept shaking, as if the power of God came to destroy the world, and people couldn't help but wonder what the outside world had been destroyed into.
Even though these people are not ordinary people, they are wizards and vampires who have mastered extraordinary power, but they still feel so powerless at this time.
Several people huddled in the basement, not daring to move. They waited in fear for a long time, until all the sounds completely disappeared before they dared to show up.
Fortunately, Jasmine brought a magic ring with her, which stored food, otherwise they would have been starving these days.
As for Will, it was even more difficult. He could not be fed by grains. Staying with him for a long time would really kill someone. Therefore, as soon as the movement outside disappeared, Ian and Jasmine immediately plucked up their courage.
Go out.
Ian pushed the overturned stone slab hard. It was very light and encountered no resistance as expected. He thought that the instructors had done so much damage in the past few days, and there must be a mountain of stones or wood piled on the stone slab.
It was difficult to push something heavy, and maybe they needed to use magic to forcefully open the door, but they didn't expect it to open with just a light push. It was surprisingly smooth.
"Weird!" Ian muttered, then cautiously poked his head out. There has been no movement for so long, so the battle must have ended long ago, otherwise it would not have stopped like this.
Sure enough, there was no one in the sky, not even a bird. The surroundings were filled with strong positive and negative energy and the remaining chaotic pressure of the high wizards, so no mortal thing dared to approach here.
Jacques and others left, but the traces of the battle they left behind still remain. From Ian's eyes, the field of view is extremely broad. There is no building higher than his height, not even a low wall half a man's height.
, only patches of ugly pile-like fractures still clung to the ground, like rice piles in the field after the autumn harvest.
The difference is that the rice piles are neat and tidy, while the ruins of Appleton are extremely messy, filled with dust and debris, and the dark brown tone is like a doomsday scene. Or, this is the end of the world at all.
Three high-level wizards and one divine envoy can easily destroy a city that has been around for hundreds of years. What is this if not the end of the world?
"How could this happen?" Even though Will was a vampire who had lived for more than a hundred years, he was shocked when he saw the ruins in front of him and kept sucking in the air-conditioning.
Although Jasmine didn't speak, Ian could already tell her inner thoughts from her expression. Probably none of them thought that a mere human being could have such a powerful power.
Two humans and a vampire stood in silence in the ruins for a long time, their moods extremely complicated, and they lost all sense of proportion for a moment.
In the end, Ian cheered up and said: "Don't be in a daze. The first priority is to leave here. The mentor and the others have left, and we have to go back to Norton Mountain as soon as possible. We can't let anything happen to Elfo."
As he said that, he glanced at Elfo on the ground. It had been more than 24 hours, but he was still unconscious, so Ian's eyes drifted to the vampire beside him, his face uncertain.
He no longer has any trust in Will. He said he could wake up in 24 hours. How long has it been?
Perhaps, take him back to Norton Hill together? How much Consul, he and Jasmine have paid for Elfo, Ian will never allow things to be messed up by a vampire.
Will was quite wary of other people's eyes. As soon as he saw Ian's eyes drifting toward him, he immediately jumped a few steps away and said warily: "What do you want to do?"
At the same time, he also noticed Jasmine making other moves, and immediately warned her to stop: "Don't forget that I am the master of this kid now. If anything happens to me, he will definitely not be fine either!"
When Jasmine heard this, she had to stop her plan to control Will with magic. Even though this vampire had completely lost credibility with her, it was an indisputable fact that he embraced Elfo for the first time.
Life is connected to its owner, and once Will dies, Alfo will undoubtedly die as well.
Although Consul was forced to ask Will to transform Elfo, it has now become a fait accompli. Elfo's life and Will's life are already tied together. To be precise, Will is controlling it.
Alfred's life.
This was also the reason why Jasmine didn't dare to act rashly.
"Then what's going on with Alfo? Didn't you say he will wake up in 24 hours? Why hasn't he woke up yet?" Ian asked, staring at Will with unkind eyes.
Will was speechless when he asked, because he really didn't know why.
But: "Isn't he a divine envoy? No one has ever transformed a divine envoy. They are existences with countless levels of higher self. Shouldn't we spend more time? What do you think of as an divine envoy, a potato?"
Will retorted plausibly.
After hearing this, Ian and the two couldn't help feeling depressed. How could such a potato destroy a city like this?
"Yeah, you think so too, don't you?" Seeing the two of them speechless, Will immediately shouted, "So he will definitely wake up. It's just a matter of time. It's really not my fault."
Ian thought for a while, considering Will's greedy and fearful character, he would never dare to do anything wrong under the circumstances at that time. There might be another reason why Alfo still hasn't woken up yet.
However, Ian still decided to take Will back, "I don't care if it's because of you, but you have to go back to the monastery with us, and you can't leave until he wakes up."
When Will heard this, he refused without thinking: "Are you kidding? If he doesn't wake up for the rest of his life, I will stay in Norton Hill for the rest of his life? It's not that I want to transform him, I was forced to, please be reasonable.
OK?"
Reasoning? Ian almost laughed. In all the years he has been in the main plane, this is the first time someone has reasoned with him. So he smiled and said: "If you are being reasonable, even if he doesn't wake up for the rest of his life, you don't have to stay here for the rest of his life."
Norton Hill will be over in a year at most."
One year at most?
Will asked dubiously: "Are you telling the truth? It will only take one year at most? Is Consul so easy to talk to?"
Haha, do you also know that he is difficult to talk to? Ian sneered secretly.
"Of course, because if Elfo doesn't wake up after a year, you will die!" Jasmine's cold voice came from the side, and the next moment, Will was immediately tied down by her mind control magic rope.
On the ground, bones cracked and limbs were turned and broken. Unlike Ian and the other two, Will had not eaten for many days, and had been forced by Consul to bleed Alfo before. He was immediately charged with death due to his carelessness.
.
It turned out that Ian immediately changed his mind about taking action after seeing Will's alertness, and instead argued with him to attract his attention, allowing Jasmine time to cast magic to control Will.
"Ah...Ian, you guys!" Will's limbs were broken and he was lying on the ground wailing in pain. He never expected that these two people would treat him like this and not give him any chance to escape.
"Don't resent us. You should have expected this day when you became Elfo's master. In fact, whether he wakes up or not, do you think you will have a chance to leave Norton Hill in this life? What if?
If Alfred doesn’t wake up, you might not be able to wait for a year and you’ll have to be buried with him, you bastard!”
Ian didn't say anything, but looked at him expressionlessly. Instead, Jasmine sneered and explained to him. Her next words left Will stunned.
"Do you know why Consul spent countless resources to launch a three-year revenge against the Holy Light Mercy Society?"
Taking advantage of Will's daze, she took out a dagger and accurately nailed it into Will's heart. With just one stroke, his face quickly turned blue, and a dim blue-gray blood vessel network immediately emerged, and Will's
The pupils gradually became dilated, like a corpse.
The heart is one of the three vital points of a vampire. Once it is damaged by something made of silver, they will definitely die. Even if it is not a silver object, it is enough to make them incapacitated and they can only wait to die.
Although his body cannot move, his mind is still active. This is also one of the characteristics of the vampire's strong physique. Some people have invented a rather cruel punishment to torture them, which is to use the vampire's limbs and joints to torture them.
After the silverware was nailed, it was put into an iron coffin, and then the coffin was randomly thrown into the deep sea by boat.
Due to the immortality of vampires, the vampire in the coffin will live forever. He will clearly feel the pain of tons of sea water squeezing his internal organs. At the same time, he will repeat the process of choking in water and drowning all the time. He will never be able to escape in life after life.
Perhaps this kind of capital punishment is too cruel, and even the person who commits it will be tortured a lot, so no one would torture a vampire like this unless it is a heinous hatred or crime. The most serious thing is to let him die in the sun.
What Jasmine did was just make him temporarily incapacitated.
She stood up, clapped her hands, and said with a smile: "Let's talk like this, I don't want you to come all of a sudden... That's three full years, and the resources consumed every day are immeasurably huge.
The numbers, after three years, are enough to build a talented army of about fifty people, but what did he get?"
"He got nothing!" Jasmine looked at Will who was in rigor mortis, suddenly stopped smiling, and continued in a cold tone, "He has paid so much, but he has not gained a penny.
It was simply because the wizards of the Holy Light Mercy Society killed his lover, an ordinary woman who had been married many years ago.
Just because of such an ordinary woman who accidentally took care of him for a period of time many years ago, he proposed that the monastery would go to war against the Holy Light Mercy Society. Even after the proposal failed, he dared to openly take revenge on the Mercy Society alone, tooth for tooth, blood for blood.
Blood.
Do you think this kind of person will let you go? You must know that Alfo is the only son of that woman, her only bloodline in the world! If I were you, I would not think about running away, because you will never
You can't escape the master's grasp. Perhaps you should think about how to get the master to agree to join our monastic order after you meet him. At least you won't have to die after you become one of your own."
After saying that, regardless of what Will thought, he turned to Ian and said, "Master Hyde, I'll leave this guy to you. I'll be in charge of the little guy."
Ian nodded. He looked around. The negative energy field here was getting stronger and stronger. It had almost reached half the level of Todes Cemetery. This was quite abnormal in human society because ordinary people could not be exposed for a long time.
In a strong energy field, they would avoid places like Norton Mountain when they first choose the site to build the city, because they are not suitable for human habitation.
Now Appleton's negative energy field has changed and become higher and higher. If this change is permanent, then it is destined to become an abandoned city.
And a high concentration of energy fields will spawn a large number of extraordinary creatures. In other words, this place will soon become a paradise for monsters - if the Wizards Alliance and the Monastery don't care.
Both of them knew the danger here and had no intention of staying any longer. They each took one person and left Appleton on foot.
