Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 352 Chapter [-] He is in pain and danger at the moment

Xia Houyan thought that even by the standards of a traveler, the explosions he encountered in this short career in another world were a bit too much.

Lying in the darkness, he sniffed the dust at the end of his nose: Should Rock Creek Castle be worthy of being an ancient building? Even the smoke and dust from the tower exploded and collapsed had a unique antiquated smell. A sense of age.

But Xia Houyan is not very concerned about the fate of the building.

More importantly, at this moment, he was experiencing burning pain all over his body, and there were obviously several abrasions on his cheeks;

Of course, this kind of overly sharp pain may actually mean that he should not have suffered any life-threatening serious injuries in the explosion just now-if he was really fatally injured, he would probably be unconscious by now.

Xia Houyan groaned, turned over enduring the pain, groped with his left hand in the darkness, and soon touched a piece of cold iron armor; his hand went up along the iron armor, and soon touched that The touch is extremely familiar, silky and soft cheek skin.

Alice Comstock——When the explosion happened, it was the female swordsman who flew to protect Xia Houyan, blocked a lot of the impact of the explosion for him, and allowed him to stay awake now.

"Alice? Are you okay?" Xia Houyan held Alice's face and called softly.

The female swordsman murmured vaguely in the darkness.

Obviously, she herself has lost consciousness, but she just reacted subconsciously after hearing the master's call.

However, judging by the thickness of the armor Alice is wearing today, Xia Houyan tends to think that the damage caused to Alice by the explosion just now is also very limited, and her captain of the female guards should have just been knocked unconscious in the explosion past.

What's more, she was originally a living dead person, so she should... "can't die".

Xia Houyan gritted his teeth, barely sat up straight, and casually hit Alice beside him with "Dark Healing";
Then, he chanted a somewhat unfamiliar light spell, and summoned a magic ball of light for lighting.

The magic glow slowly spread out, instantly illuminating the scene around him.

As a result, Xia Houyan became more and more convinced that the old buildings really had potential safety hazards:
The main tower of the Rock Creek Castle was completely destroyed in the explosion just now.

Within the current range of vision, Xia Houyan can no longer see any complete architectural structures, only layers of gravel and rubble are filling the eyes, and Bartholomew de Hashi gave his ceremony room, the elaborate decoration Elements, and most of them were buried by broken bricks;
Perhaps it is precisely because the load-bearing structure of this tower has been in disrepair for a long time. After the explosion, there was no cavity at all that often occurs after a building collapses—the entire top of the tower disappeared. Looking up, you can see the bright starry sky above you through the gaps in the ruins.

Xia Houyan sat in the ruins with his hands on his hands, and used his thoughts to manipulate the magic light ball to circle around it for a circle—where the light passed, he could find many members of the "Rainbow Six" team lying on the ground lying on the ground.

To his relief, most of these revolutionary comrades were in the same situation as Alice, except that they lost consciousness in the explosion—their chests were still rising and falling slightly with their breathing, showing their remaining vitality;

If Xia Houyan's memory is correct, when the explosion happened, it should be a certain magician in the team who opened a protective barrier at the very moment. Only then did he survive the explosion and the subsequent collapse of the building. It was the fate of everyone on the tower at that time.

"I want to give you a 'May [-]st' medal..." Xia Houyan muttered, paying tribute to this unknown hero.

After confirming that everyone was basically safe, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

As the only team member who is currently awake, Xia Houyan sat in the middle of the ruins depressedly, and expressed his heartfelt emotion:

"Mother Xipi... Sure enough, there is nothing good about necromancer magic!"

He still vaguely remembered that when he was studying in the mage school city, Professor Hugh Hosseini, who taught the history of magic, once warned the mage trainees that practitioners of forbidden magic should not take it for granted, and must be fully alert ;
At that time, the lord did not listen carefully, but he was taught a lesson by reality tonight:
Just now, when Bartholomew de Hash was shot through the palm of his hand by an arrow and completely lost his ability to cast spells, both he himself and the other members of the "Rainbow Six" team thought that this necromancer The senior magister has already lost a complete defeat, and can only be slaughtered, and has no power to resist;

But they just forgot one thing:
As a necromancer who explores forbidden areas, Bartholomew de Hash has a skill that has been forgotten by the main school of magic:
Blow up!

The so-called "self-explosion", the scientific name in the history of magic textbooks is "Burning Demon Forbidden Chant", which refers to the sudden release of all the magic energy stored in the body by the user of elemental power, causing a violent explosion, and thus perishing with all the surrounding creatures. a technique;
In the barbaric ancient times, "Burning Demons and Forbidding Chanting" was once the bottom-of-the-box skill of magicians on the mainland. This kind of desperate move of "I must die, and you don't want to live" has also been regarded by magicians for a long time. Strategic deterrence to ensure its own security;

However, the times are progressing, and the magic world has become more and more civilized. After the belief in the Supreme Holy God was officially established, "Burning Demons and Forbidden Chanting" was rejected by the main magicians because it was against morality and belief—— To this day, there are no serious magicians on the mainland who still remember how to use "Burning Demons and Forbidden Chanting";

But the taboo mages who were excluded from the mainstream magic world picked up this old craft again—after all, it is well known that taboo mages have no morals, and having an extra self-destruction skill as a deterrent is indeed beneficial to their survival .

Many necromancers in history chose to sacrifice more heroically before being burned to death by the Inquisition, and used the "Burning Demon and Forbidden Chant" to take away many onlookers at the scene of the burning;

This kind of bad behavior that harms others and benefits oneself makes the Inquisition become more cautious when arresting necromancers, but it also makes the social image of necromancers worse.

And Bartholomew de Hash obviously inherited the glorious tradition of the necromancer school of magic.

Bartholomew de Hashi, who was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown due to the failure of summoning the god of death, realized that he had absolutely no physiology tonight, so he used "Burning Demon and Forbidden Chant" without hesitation—even though Master Laurie immediately Aware of the danger, the black priest still managed to blow himself up into a mass of flesh and blood fireworks, and even used a turbulent magic shock wave to completely collapse the main tower of the Rock Creek City castle——

——It also led to the embarrassing situation of the Xiahou officials at the moment.

Xia Houyan struggled to get up from the ruins, trying to find a way out by the light of the magic ball of light:
What was destroyed by Bartholomew de Hashi's desperation was only the top part of the main tower of the castle, that is to say, the space where he and the other unconscious team members were located was approximately in the middle of the tower of the castle, still a few In the mid-air at a height of ten meters;
But the problem is that the collapse of the bricks and stones caused by the explosion has buried the spiral staircase they walked on when they climbed the tower, making it an impossible task to return along the original road;
And Xia Houyan didn't think that he had the ability to imitate Spiderman and slide down the outer wall of the tower—while relying on magic power to fly for a short time is the patent of intermediate magisters or wind magicians, obviously He also has no relationship with Xiahou officials.

Therefore, he could only choose to call foreign aid.

"Messi!" The lord shouted loudly.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, the wasteland wraith ball, which he arranged to secretly follow the team and escort, did not appear immediately as usual.

Could it be that Messi was also stunned by the explosion?Xia Houyan thought about it, and always felt that it was impossible:
Although Messi's power will decline sharply after leaving the land of broken souls, this wasteland ball king will always have a magic power of five to six levels, and the level of a magister. It shouldn't disappear just because of an explosion.

Xia Houyan tried to call Messi again, but there was still no response—this wraith had obviously been absent from work for no reason.

The lord, who had no choice but to take a magic ball of light, staggered a few steps in the ruins of the tower, reached a crack in the outer wall, and listened with his ears sideways:
The night wind from the southern border of the empire brought faint noises from the foot of the castle.

Obviously, the explosion that happened on the tower just now has alarmed the coalition forces of the southern aristocrats who surrounded the castle - Xiahouyan can only hope that Count Dimitri and the others can send a rescue team over as soon as possible.

And while he was listening to the sounds outside the castle, he found something interesting at the edge of his vision:
Those were two collapsed stone pillars, and at the foot of the stone pillars were two unconscious people—one was the unlucky guy named John Samonen, and the other was an old acquaintance from Shuangfeng Ridge, Duke of Houston.

The explosion just now destroyed the stone pillars that Bartholomew de Hashi bound the two "sacrifices", and the chains wrapped around them have also been broken—however, the two were apparently also summoned by the Southern Mage She was sheltered by the defensive enchantment that was released, and she was sleeping soundly at the moment.

Xia Houyan stared at the Duke of Houston for three seconds, then left the gap in the wall, walked to the Duke of Houston, and squatted down.

He touched the back of his butt with his hand, but he couldn't find the dagger he brought with him.

Just when the senior official Xiahou picked up the iron chain on the ground and weighed whether it would be good enough to strangle the bastard with the iron chain directly, a somewhat familiar sneer came from behind him:

"You have to find props to kill everyone, and you've lost the face of the magician."

Xia Houyan's movements froze.

Because the language used in this sentence is not the common language of the empire, but the Huaxia Beijing movie that he has been dreaming about.

Xia Houyan rolled his eyes and turned his head, and sure enough, he saw that the old man, Lord Yan, wearing a crown and a black robe, was standing in the middle of ruins and rubble with his sleeves wrapped around his sleeves, laughing like a cormorant.

However, today's brother Yan Wangye looks a little different:
In the past, whether it was temporarily summoned by master-level necromancer magic, or a special appearance on a whim, when Lord Yan appeared, Ya's body always appeared as a translucent phantom;

But the current Big Brother Hades, although his body is still intangible, has much lower transparency. If he didn't observe carefully with the glow of the magic light ball, it is even possible to regard Ya as an actual creature.

"Why are you here?" Xia Houyan asked angrily.

King Yan probably never expected that he would be treated so badly by the little fellows of the earth, and he choked immediately.The underworld civil servant stared at Xia Houyan for a moment, then looked around in embarrassment, and muttered:

"Cough! What kind of words are you talking about? I asked you to risk your life, can I not help you?"

"It's up to you." Xia Houyan pouted, feeling relieved to finally be able to speak Chinese again in another world, "In short, when my soul was out of my body at the Phoenix Terrace, you always arranged for me The task is to 'sneak into the Castle of Rock Creek City' - well, I've completed it, do you have anything else, it's okay, I'm flashing - by the way, you need to help me - send my brothers down to the tower... ..."

"Don't worry, you!" Lord Yan clasped his hands with a smile, "Aren't you going to deal with the big enemy in your territory first?"

Xia Houyan tilted his head and thought for a while, thinking it made sense.

So he took an iron folding stool from someone who didn't know where it came from, and smashed it down hard on the old Duke Houston's face. He repeated this seven or eight times, and successfully made a lump of meat sauce.

"It's over!" Panting, Xia Houyan clapped his hands, watching Lord Yan take the blood-stained folding stool and put it back under his robe of another dimension—and when Lord Yan lifted the robe, Xia Houyan With a chill, he discovered that this guy was actually wearing blue and white striped shorts and plastic slippers under the majestic black official robe.

The discovery made him less respectful of Big Brother Earth.

Lord Yan looked at the Dagong sauce made by the little brother with admiration, and then pointed to the unconscious John Samonen:
"The little white-skinned foreigner captured by the 'black priest', you'd better take it back to your territory, it might be useful."

Xia Houyan was about to ask what was the use of this person, when Messi, the wraith who could not be called out before, suddenly emerged from the ground of the tower.

Messi didn't wait for the lord to question him, but he looked at the stern-faced Big Brother Hades with a flattering face, and flattered him submissively:

"My, my lord... I found the things you asked me to find underground in the castle..."

"What are you looking for?" Xia Houyan asked in amazement, and then turned to Lord Yan, "What did you let it look for?"

Messi gave the answer directly with actions:

It opened its mouth wide, and from the spherical body of the wraith, it spit out a shriveled, shriveled wrath surrounded by black mist...

... human legs.
