Chapter 28: Evil Eagle (Part 2)
[Good year of Tiger, first update on the first day of the first day, please vote for tomorrow]
After the telescope was invented by an alchemist, it became popular immediately. However, ordinary telescopes could only observe a very small area, and most nobles bought them for curiosity.
However, in the army, alchemy telescopes are a must-have for scouts. Advanced magic crossbows can also be installed with expensive small alchemy telescopes, allowing magic crossbowmen to shoot targets one mile away.
Once this function was developed, it was immediately banned by emperors and nobles in all countries. An archer had to become at least a level eight profession to achieve this level, but an assassin who changed his position to a magic apprentice could use such terrifying things at level one.
The magician can sense elemental fluctuations in the alchemy telescope, but ordinary nobles and royal families do not have this ability. This makes assassination easier.
Even the Holy See did not approve of the emergence of this kind of equipment. After that, the alchemy telescope could no longer be smaller and instead develop into large-scale development. It was installed on the city tower and could observe detailed enemy situations several miles away.
Open the door on the top floor of the tower, and the passage here is already very narrow. Sijia came to the top floor. There are spacious windows on all sides of the top floor of the tower, but the window ridge is very high, so even if there are bows and arrows shot from below, it is easy to defend.
There is a platform more than one foot high in the middle of the ground, which is only a few square meters. The platform is engraved with complex magic circles, but it does not need to be stimulated. Sijia lowered her waist, put her eyes on a pair of deep holes on the platform, and looked inside.
The sky above the castle is full of sight. Although it is night, everything is still visible in the alchemy telescope.
Sja carefully searched. In the alchemy telescope, the full moon in the sky became even bigger, and the mountain patterns above could be almost distinguished. The magician on the Meers continent believed that there was another continent on the moon, but it was too far away from the Meers continent.
Just as Sijia was about to give up searching, a black shadow broke into her sight. Sijia shivered and saw a pair of huge wings, black feathers, two heads, and four eyes.
Two-headed eagle! Sijia moaned, her feet became a little weak. She gritted her teeth, held the ground with her hands, and stood up slowly. Outside the tower, the moonlight shone on the stone wall of the castle, coating the cold stone wall with a layer of silver light. In this light, there was another thin black line hidden, as if there were countless cracks on the city wall.
Sja didn't know how she walked down the tower. Her thinking was a little confused and she instinctively walked towards the restaurant. She should report this to the Baron as soon as possible.
The tableware in the restaurant was removed, replaced with fruits and wine. Baron Cook was telling a joke, which made Enni laugh, and Sja walked into the restaurant in a daze.
"Ska?" Baron Cook immediately discovered Ska's abnormality. She had never looked like this after she became a sword master at the age of sixteen. The genius swordsman girl, and people in the imperial capital, thought that she would become a sword saint before she was thirty years old, and had a more resolute personality than a man. How could this happen?
"Sir, I saw the double-headed eagle." Sijia felt a flame in her chest being held in, unable to spit it out, and her throat became hoarse for a moment.
The restaurant was silent for a moment, and only Shika was holding a pear heartily and chewing it. The sound seemed extremely harsh. She couldn't understand Qin Yinyu. Even if Sijia said something even more amazing, Shika wouldn't react.
"Sir Baron, I have to discuss with Mr. Enni." Franmine was the first to speak.
"Go, I'll wait for you in the study." Baron Cook stood up, and he was so despair that he didn't say hello to anyone, and went straight away.
There is a room next to the restaurant, which was originally a place where the guests arrived temporarily and waited for the owner to finish their meal. The people from the Nut Mercenary Group and Aini and others entered the room and closed the door.
"Mr. Eni, Master Salin, I will definitely not be able to complete this mission." Franmine said calmly, "But we will continue to protect your safety."
Aini was a little annoyed and didn't speak. Salin said, "Franmingo, are you talking about black magic?"
"yes."
“It’s serious?”
"I don't know if I can survive." Franmine replied frankly. If the legend about this place is true, then I could be said to have fallen into the trap. If I hadn't come here to spend the night...
Salin still looked as if he was not too busy, and he was extremely calm and could not tell that he was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.
"Eni, what are you going to do?" Salin looked at Eni.
Aini smiled bitterly and said, "What should I do? I can't sit and wait for death anyway."
"What if we leave now?" Salin had nothing to do with Baron Cook. The first thing that came to mind was to leave. Although Baron Cook was very likable, Salin had no intention of killing him for his life.
"You can go, I can't. It's not because Baron Cook and I are friends. According to the law of the empire, this happened. I have been recruited now and must assist the Baron in fighting." Franmine said helplessly. He said to Salin seriously: "Master Salin, the double-headed eagle appears, proving that the Black Sky Demon God has been resurrected. You are safer in the castle. If you leave the castle, you will be attacked at any time."
Salin stroked his gift ring and repeatedly reasoned in his heart. He was not familiar with Baron Cook's current situation. If he left, Baron Cook might not tell the truth, and might even let himself be regarded as an abandoned son who tests the enemy's strength. Aini would definitely not choose to leave, he, Shika, Neris, and the three of them didn't know what kind of enemies they would face.
"Okay, I'll stay." Salin thought about it and knew that Baron Cook would definitely welcome him to stay. Although he was only a first-level magician, if he fought based on the castle, the magician would exert greater power. Unfortunately, he would not refine a magic circle, otherwise he could turn the castle into a copper wall.
If you stay, your status will be immediately improved and you will be protected by all swordsmen. If you leave, you will become cannon fodder. Does Salin have any choice?
After discussing it, everyone opened the door. Franmine said to the guard at the door: "Take us to see the Baron."
Baron Cook was walking in the study and was relieved to see everyone coming to his study. If Franmine had to leave, he could not keep it. Although the imperial law stipulated that mercenaries had to obey the orders of the nobles in this case, the question was, if it was a mortal task, how many mercenaries were willing to abide by the law?
The magician also stayed. Baron Cook laughed and asked the servant to move in a few chairs. After everyone sat down, he said, "Since everyone stayed to fight, I will tell you all the cause and effect."
Salin was glad that this time it was indeed not just a black magician. If he left rashly, he would face absolutely unpredictable dangers.
"Everyone knows the black magic, right?" Baron Cook looked around the people in the study. Sja had returned to normal. The people in the Nut Mercenary Group looked cold as iron. Enni thought about something and didn't know what he was thinking. Salin sat upright and waited patiently for his words below. The Caucasian female warrior...
Shika was eating melon seeds. When she left the restaurant just now, she had not forgotten to grab a handful of melon seeds and put them in her pocket.
Shika's warrior instinct is the strongest. She knows that what others are talking about must be a very bad thing, but she is just a warrior. She protects Salin and doesn't need to think about anything else.
For the Caucasians, death is just a return to nature and is not a terrible thing. Therefore, the Caucasians are always the most brave warriors and never deserters appear.
Salin knew what black magic was. If the undead magic was only slightly discriminated against, then black magic would definitely be hated to the extreme. No country allowed the existence of black magic. This may be the only similar view between the emperor of the Qinin Empire and the pope of the Holy Holy Church.
The Holy Book of the Holy See excludes the undead magic, but there are also undead mages in the Inquisition. The emperor of the Qinin Empire did not allow the undead mages to build magic towers, but they also gave the undead mages immunity.
But if anyone dares to practice black magic, whether it is the Holy See or the Emperor, they will send powerful forces to wipe out.
It is said that the black magic originated from divine arts. The Holy See certainly rejected this statement, and the magicians even refused to admit that it was magic.
The magician believes that the essence of black magic is not to use the power of elements, but to shape a nihilistic god by sacrifice and torture of life's souls, thereby obtaining mysterious power. In this case, black magic should belong to the category of divine arts.
However, the Holy See believes that neither the fallen goddess of nature nor the current Lord of Glory have ever abused creatures so much, nor do they need such sacrifices, so black magic should be witchcraft.
The profession of wizard has almost disappeared, and the dirty water pouring on them will not cause any intense reaction.
But Salin knew that black magic was just black magic and nothing belonged to. This was just a cruel skill, so cruel that no one could accept it.
But all this cannot deny the power of the black magic.
If a magician has ordinary talent, it may take a lifetime to advance to level 4 and become the lowest-level great magician. As long as a black magician obtains enough materials, he can quickly cross level obstacles and gain inhuman power.
The two-headed eagle is made of black magic. It forcibly stuffs the bodies and souls of several kinds of monsters into a container, and then burns them continuously with black flames. These souls will kill each other in pain. The black magician uses a method similar to alchemy to reorganize the bodies of monsters and form a life that should not exist in this world.
The black magician who can refine a double-headed eagle has already been absolutely terrifying. This proves that he can already create a headless knight, a dragon-loathing beast, not to mention the overwhelming black puppet.
