After escaping from Vulture Castle to Iron Oak City, Christine took on everything along the way, whether it was food acquisition or magic crystal supply.
Rikka is still in a coma, Perseus has both arms broken, and Hastur is blind. This allows Christine, a peak powerhouse, to recover only one-tenth of her magic power.
However, there was always a smile on her lips. It was the happiness of being entrusted by her companions and the satisfaction of being needed. Once upon a time, Christine envied such people, but now, although her life hangs by a thread,
But she felt that life was beautiful and the sun was bright.
In the afternoon of this day, Christine, who had rested, walked up to the second floor, first stuffed two herbal pills into Rikka's mouth, and then checked the injuries of Perseus and Hastur.
But just when he was about to go out to "borrow" some food and magic crystals as usual, a small face instantly froze, and dark magic began to condense rapidly.
"Guests from far away, can I come in and talk?" An old voice suddenly came from outside the small building, but he made no further moves, let alone forced his way in.
The dark magic force pushed the door open, but Christine and the others had no intention of showing up directly. They didn't have any friends in the Pava Federation, so the ones who came to the door were naturally the pursuit team.
But the other party seemed to be coming alone. Just now, Christine decided to stand still, intending to see what the other party meant by coming today, and then decide whether to fight or escape.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Mephisto. I am the dean of Iron Oak College and a senior priest." Mephisto did not hesitate when he saw this and spoke first after stepping onto the second floor. He had sensed a strange and powerful magic wave two days ago, but the other party seemed to be very careful and always appeared at night. But hard work paid off, and Mephisto still found some traces of the other party last night.
Just today I came to this place that no one has visited for a long time.
"Have you finished talking nonsense? Two questions, how many Pava Federation cavalry are hidden outside? Why did you come alone this time?"
The wand of annihilation continued to spit out dark magic power. Christine had already made up her mind. She would not have to consume a lot of life force today to protect her companions from escaping.
"Don't be so sensitive. There is no one outside. I came here alone."
"You are the great mixed-blood elf magister, then you should understand that as a high-level priest, I am not good at fighting, at least not as scary as you."
"Now you have two choices. One is to simply kill me directly, and then face the wrath of the Pava Federation cavalry when the incident occurs."
"Second, let's make a deal. You must hand over all the magic crystals in the storage bag, and promise to the old gods that they will never cause violence and hurt anyone in Iron Oak City. And I will choose to turn a blind eye in the next week.
And people will be sent to deliver food every day.”
After saying this, Mephisto turned his attention to the three people behind Christine, and even walked over on his own. Christine did not stop her when she saw this, but Perseus was furious, and Sisi gathered her strength.
The pressure of gravity began to vent in the room.
"This little girl's injuries are not serious. She is probably unable to wake up due to excessive energy consumption."
"As for your eyes and arms, please forgive me for being old and incompetent. There is no hope of rebirth."
Seeing that Perseus was angry, Mephisto had no choice but to stop. But he was a high-level priest after all, and he could naturally know the general situation of Rikka with just one glance.
"You don't need to worry about Master's injury. If you dare to take another step forward, I will bite your neck to pieces!" Perseus used his body to block Rikka and scolded him fiercely.
"Promise to the old gods? What kind of old gods are they worthy of me bowing their heads? It's so ridiculous!" Although Hastur is blind, because he is the Lord of Soul Butterflies, he doesn't need to use his eyesight to distinguish the direction.
Seeing that his left hand had transformed into a recurve bow, the arrow condensed with pure poison magic was aimed at the opponent's eyebrows.
"That's enough! How many more secrets do you two have to let each other find out before you shut up!"
"A week? I hope you will do what you say, otherwise I will burn Iron Oak City to the ground even if I exhaust my life force!"
"Take it! These are all my magic crystals. Think of them as the medical fees you pay for Rikka's medical treatment!"
Christine's face was extremely ugly at the moment. She didn't expect that the other party was so cunning. In just a few words, she revealed many secrets about Perseus and Hastur.
"Then everyone can enjoy a stable life in the college for a week. I ask you to leave voluntarily after one week. Iron Oak City will naturally not break your promise."
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more embarrassing, Mephisto stopped staying any longer. After putting down the food and water he had prepared, he said goodbye and left.
On this day, the whereabouts of the four people were completely exposed, but the other party dealt with it in a mutual compromise. However, Christine also lost all the magic crystals, which made the already difficult escape journey even more cruel.
But Christine also understands that the other party is only doing this to reduce her recovery speed to the lowest point. Otherwise, although a dark magician cannot really completely subvert Iron Oak City, it can still make it possible.
Iron Oak City goes directly back to twenty years ago.
"Sister, why don't we leave here right away? I don't believe that old guy!" Hastur did not eat the food left by the other party. He would not show friendship to the enemy, not hundreds of thousands of years ago, and not now.
Yes, it will never be possible in the future.
"Just stay here for a week. If the other party tells the truth, then we can quickly recover our strength. If the other party has hidden murderous intentions, what difference does it make if we leave or not? Isn't it inevitable that we will die?
"However, Christine looked very chic, and even took the initiative to eat the fresh fruit left by the other party.
The two-story building was once again on high alert due to Mephisto's sudden arrival, but the old man appeared again in the Iron Oak City palace, but he seemed respectful.
"It would be best if the other party can really stay safe. But we can't just trust the other party. The necessary guards still need to be dispatched in advance."
"A week? After that week, let's spread the news of the other party's appearance near Iron Oak City to Jackdaw City. I don't want Iron Oak City to be destroyed inexplicably. I will personally supervise this matter."<
/p>
The lord of Iron Oak City, Brown Knight Tielia, said softly after hearing this. Although he belongs to the Pava Federation, he cares more about the Iron Oak City where he lives than those unrealistic fantasies. Here is his
His hometown is a safe haven that he is unwilling to give up.
"Everything is up to you to decide! But I'm still a little curious about the identities of those two aliens. It seems that they don't respect the old gods very much, and even look scornful of them."
"But if they are really two cubs of ancient ferocious beasts, then their strength is too low. It's really strange. It would be nice if we could have more contact with them."
After all, Mephisto is the dean of Iron Oak College, so he is more curious about the true identities of Perseus and Hastur than worrying about how to report to Jackdaw City.
That night, hundreds of high-level magicians suddenly appeared outside Iron Oak Academy. In the two-story building, Christine no longer went out to "purchase" food and magic crystals, but chose to practice magic.
