Just as Boom and Rikka were secretly competing over their respective cultivation matters, the Leize Basin, located just south of Nightingale Grassland, fell into panic.
Leize Basin is bordered by Rolling Stones in the east, closely connected with Crystal Castle in the west, and on the back is the Nightingale Grassland controlled by High Court.
This is an endless swamp, and very few people have set foot in it for thousands of years. But it is not the so-called harsh environment, just because it is full of murderous intent.
"Red-Eyed Stone Frog" is a monster native to Leize Basin. Although its appearance is no different from an ordinary tree frog, its body contains thunder-attribute magic power.
This kind of little guy is naturally timid and easily nervous. In that case, all they can do is to detonate the thunder-attribute magic power in their bodies.
It is said that more than 300 years ago, a long-established great mage walked into the Leize Basin alone, regardless of the dissuasion of others, and personally offended the frogs.
As one can imagine, the result was that not only did he never get out of this death basin, but he was ruthlessly deprived of the time to scream.
From that day on, Grand Duke Grylls of Cisse strictly ordered everyone to enter, and regularly dispatched special personnel to patrol the outside.
In the eyes of others, Grand Duke Grylls' behavior is an example, a kind of protection for ordinary people, and a precaution to prevent the recurrence of tragedies.
But only a few people know that he just wants to take the Leize Basin as his own forever, and only regards it as an experimental subject for Pama City Manor.
But no matter what, the Leize Basin eventually became a forbidden area. No matter how powerful the professionals were, they were unwilling to risk their lives and had no intention of entering.
However, at midnight that day, a figure rushed from the southeast at high speed. It had long pale golden hair, green eyes, and a tattered robe.
"The dazzling light and shadow flashed away, the afterimage, the gravel, the wandering pupils, the ethereal night, in my name, Thunder Shadow Step!"
The young man held the staff and chanted the thunder spell gently. In an instant, a steady stream of magic power gathered on his feet, thundering faintly, and lightning and flint.
Thunder magicians are special cases outside the four basic elements. This kind of person is born to be strong, and even more so a monster who is jealous of a talented person.
Thunder spells are famous for their great power. Although these magicians are rare and skilled, each one is synonymous with "power" and "limit".
Panting, blood flowing down his forehead into his eyes, the young man held the last magic crystal in his hand. It was only at this moment that he felt tired and could breathe.
The young man was a poor man. Although he was saved from starving to death due to his thunderous physique, he even entered the Principality Academy to study. But the price was to be tied to the chariot of the Principality of Xisai and the King of Ogu.
He also personally visited the Golden Halberd Plain as a magician of Xisai, and he also killed ordinary people who were powerless for those so-called tasks.
However, he has become more and more taciturn, and has become more and more reclusive. Strength and character are two completely unrelated things. Although the young man is a mage of Cisse, he is an extremely gentle person at heart.<
/p>
So he chose to leave. That night, the young man threw his storage bag in the tent and fled to the Crystal Castle under the stars and the moon.
Although the life of anonymity is difficult, the young man enjoys it as if he has been reborn. In more than ten years, he has taught five magic apprentices, three junior magicians, and one intermediate powerhouse.
The sewage ditches in the slums have become the best neighbors, and the noisy bluestone road makes the whole world become real. But greed has no mercy, let alone empathy.
The familiar Cisse cavalryman drew out his rapier, and the commander's black face was extremely cold. Before the young man had time to say goodbye to his acquaintances, he embarked on his escape journey again.
Five days, just five days, he went from high-spirited at the beginning to a lost dog. The grass and trees were all at war, the night breeze was blowing, the young man gritted his teeth and continued to move forward into the distance relying on instinct.
Without material supplies, magicians are definitely no better than ordinary people. This is a taboo for magicians, and it is also the reason why countless people choose to submit to the powerful.
"Hey, old man! Come with me to go crazy again, for the last time!" The young man leaned under the tree and said softly. This staff has been with him for more than ten years and has become his closest partner.
At the same time, it became increasingly noisy outside Leize Basin. Cloaks embroidered with two-headed dragon patterns were flying in the air, and countless thin swords reflected the moonlight.
The dark shadow of the torch swayed among the branches, and the armor rubbed against the reeds. The encirclement shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the young man's expression changed from despair to calmness.
"Magic, it seems that I have never thought about it until today. I really want a beautiful dream."
"I don't know how the guys in the academy are doing. They should all be doing well."
"Girl, why don't I want to marry you, why don't I want to travel all over the Nightingale Grassland with you."
"Gods, if there is a next life, please grant me a life of an ordinary person, and the holy light will last forever!"
The young man murmured to himself, but after saying the last words, he slowly stood up as if he was having a flashback. Countless light spots scattered all over the ground through the leaves. The young man waved and threw away the last piece of magic crystal, and raised the magic crystal high again.
Staff.
In the final battle, he will end his life in his own way. Although fate is full of helplessness, it cannot influence the master's will after all.
"The touch of indigo, the deep purple lines, the deafening branches, the faceless tyrant who wipes out everything, in my name, the lightning strike technique!"
Thunder echoed in the air, crackling in the Leize Basin. Dozens of lightning struck instantly, and countless vegetation was turned into black carbon.
"Keep moving forward! Pay attention to filling up positions!" However, the commander of the Cisse cavalry turned a blind eye to this and continued to issue orders.
"The buzzing of hummingbirds, the whispering of hawk moths, the silver-white sensitive wings, the swift birds that tear apart space, in my name, the thunderbirds dance!"
A harsh buzz echoed in the Leize Basin, and more than twenty thunderbirds condensed with thunder-attribute magic power rushed left and right. The screams were endless, but the number of torches was never reduced.
"Keep the formation! Notify the surrounding areas to pay attention to fish that have slipped through the net!" the commander shouted again without any expression.
However, the red-eyed stone frogs in the Leize Basin fell into panic due to these successive provocations. Frogs croaked and arcs of lightning occurred one after another.
The morning light of dawn chose to retreat, and the magic power in Leize Basin was chaotic at the moment, and the lightning rising into the sky seemed to be real. The young man smiled, and nearly three hundred Sisai cavalry turned into fly ash at the same time.
The red-eyed stone frogs collectively self-destructed, and their power was no less powerful than the most powerful attack of the Great Mage. In the Leize Basin, thunder shocked the sky, and Ze Ze continued the generations to come.
Commander Cisse looked at the staff that was broken into two pieces, then turned around and led his men towards the High Court. Although provoking the authority of the principality is the privilege of the strong, not everyone can get away with it.
This is true for the Principality of Xisai, this is true for the Augu Continent, and this is true for the entire world. The first thing a person must learn is not how to become stronger, but to live as humbly as Boom.
Thick smoke continued to drift from the Leize Basin, and the corpses of countless red-eyed stone frogs slowly sank into the swamp. But what replaced them were the inaudible frog calls and the thunder-attribute magic power contained in them.
