my age of magic

Chapter 1512 62. Mystery of Life Experience
The last ray of light in the sky disappeared, the sun sank behind the mountain tops, and the blue sky slowly began to dim.

The magic lights slowly lit up in the palace of the Floating King City, and a group of Gripen Knights set off from the top of the tower riding the Royal Gripen, flying around the periphery of the imperial capital.

Standing on the outer corridor of the fourth floor of the Tower of Pride, you can see the Weiyang Lake in the distance, which is silent in the evening scenery, the Zhonghuside Manor hidden in the lakeside mountains, and dozens of large manor houses built along the lake, Yulin The street was full of traffic, with horse-drawn carriages constantly merging into the dense traffic, the Free Market on the Tower of Pride Square was crowded with people, and the signs of the taverns on the back streets were lit up with colorful light strips.

Mo Xiang stood behind the stone statue in the outer corridor of the fourth floor of the Tower of Pride, leaning on the marble railing with both hands and looking into the distance.

I walked slowly along the outer corridor to his side. He was wearing a black magic robe, a thick magic book was placed on the railing, and a pair of round glasses with metal frames were on the bridge of his nose. He looked very gentle, like a teacher in a junior magic academy, and he didn't have the courage that the young outstanding generals of the Grimm Empire should have.

Hearing my footsteps, he turned his head slowly and smiled and said to me: "I happened to come back from the Angela plane for something, and I heard from Bruce that you have something to look for me?"

During this period of time, Mo Xiang led the Constructed Knights of the Mo family to fight in the Angela multi-dimensional plane. It is said that they should not appear in the imperial capital at this time. I just mentioned it casually to the Yerkes scholar. At that time, he was actually in the Imperial Academy of Magic.

"Marquis Mo Xiang, I heard that there is a special room in your house where specimens of various demon creatures are displayed. If it is convenient, I would like to see them!" I stood opposite Mo Xiang and said to him.

I remember the first time I saw him, it was in the cursed land on the outskirts of Sloit City. At that time, he convened a rescue team to rescue the wood magician Moras. The female companion beside him was said to be from Princess Mansa of the Demon Race, Brigitte, the personal maid of Princess Mansa at that time, once chased and killed me.

The second time I saw Mo Xiang was in an orc tribe-style restaurant in the imperial capital. At that time, he had returned to the family, probably because he had been a teacher at the Galloping Horse Academy in Sloit City for several years. The magic teacher gave him a bookish air.

I remember that William Mo always tried to trouble me at that time, and because of the grievances between William and me, this time I wanted to go to the manor of the Mo family with a history of more than 800 years, and I could only go through the road of Mo Xiang.

Hearing what I said, Mo Xiang asked in surprise, "Is that the reason why you are looking for me?"

Well, this matter is really that simple for him.

I rubbed my nose and replied, "Ah... that's right!"

Mo Xiang smiled subtly, he knew the grievances between William and me.

The last ray of sunlight on the top of Mount Majaro receded in the distance, and the imperial capital ushered in the real night.

Mo Xiang pressed the magic book on the marble railing with one hand, and supported the marble statue of the Tower of Pride with the other. Looking at the bustling night scene below, he exhaled softly and said, "My family has guarded the Kenda throne for generations. In front of you, you probably have also heard that there is a passage connecting to the flame hell in the Vala Valley of the Kenda plane, so the Kenda plane is a battlefield between humans and demons, but the domination of that plane has always been ours In his hands, every member of the Mo family has a mission from birth, which is to fight against the demons endlessly. Therefore, in order to let the younger generation in the family understand the demons, the elders of the family took some demons The corpses of demon creatures were brought back to the imperial capital from the battlefield, and displayed in a basement of the manor. Over time, more and more types of demon creatures were brought back, and later there was a special exhibition room."

At this time, Mo Xiang had a faint wry smile on his face, and I can fully understand where his wry smile came from.

That's right, his lover is a princess of the demon clan, who betrayed the entire demon clan because of him, but he has countless fetters on him, so he can't live as freely as that princess of the demon clan. The successor of the Green Empire, the outstanding star among the younger generation of the Green Empire.

Mo Xiang glanced at me, smiled and said to me: "I remember the first time I went to that showroom to learn about demons when I was young. An elder in the family dissected a goat with his own hands in front of all of us. He used a dagger Cut open the goat’s chest, pulled out all the internal organs, and finally held the bloody heart and nailed it to a wooden wedge. At that time, the bile almost spit out... After that, I didn’t eat for almost three days.”

A very bloody picture appeared in my mind. Mo Xiang seemed to be expecting to see the discomfort caused by hearing this, but he still didn't know that my eight hundred barbarian slaves were actually piled up with countless barbarian heads. A few years ago, I chopped off the heads of those savages in the ice wall on the outskirts of Ayr City. It was like walking into a vegetable field and chopping cabbages...

It is said that the heart of a demon is nailed with a wooden wedge so that the demon will not be resurrected in the burning hell after death.

He saw that I didn't react after hearing this, so he coughed lightly and said: "Actually, the purpose of the demon showroom is to let us understand those demon creatures. If you want to visit, you can go there anytime. If you are interested If so, I can help you arrange the dissection ceremony, I know you have been on the battlefield, but I don't know if you can bear that kind of bloody scene."

I think it is better to avoid this kind of ceremony as much as possible until I figure out my identity. If the demons tortured in the ceremony are really my compatriots, should I save them or not?

"Actually, I just want to learn about demons." I said tactfully.

Mo Xiang smiled at me ambiguously, and said, "You want to know about the high-level demons? I remember that you have a demon pet that is a succubus?"

Seeing that he mentioned Deborah, I explained to him: "Well, Deborah is actually a harpy. An orc entrusted her to me and asked me to take care of her. Unexpectedly, I went to find her on the first day." When she was in the middle of the night, she accidentally untied her restraint, she flew out of the window and was struck down by the lightning of the forbidden circle, and the Schindki University scholar at the Academy of Magic gave her the body of a succubus."

"It turned out to be the masterpiece of the Schindeki University scholar!" Mo Xiang showed a look of surprise, and added casually: "Actually, real succubi often appear in the Kenda plane."

Hearing what he said, it was as if I really liked that witch with a pair of black wings on her back!
Thinking of his lover being a demon princess, I put away my emotions immediately.

"Marquis Mo Xiang, according to your understanding of the demons, what is the difference between them and humans?" I asked.

In fact, after I finished speaking, I felt a little regretful. I felt that I was a little reckless. There should be many strong men who have dealt with demons all their lives in the manor of the Mo family. After I stepped into that manor, if someone A strong man decided that I am not from the Green Empire, but a descendant of the demon race who came from nowhere, wouldn't that be bad...

After careful consideration, Mo Xiang said to me: "Only the high-level demons can take human form. The biggest difference is that all high-level demons have long horns on their heads, and the horns of demons are their source of power. , It is precisely because of the horns on the head that the high-level demons are born to learn dark magic, and their pupils are mostly dark purple, good at charm and hypnosis, and other places are no different from us humans."

After a pause, he continued: "The hearts of demons are much stronger than ours. On the battlefield, don't judge those demons by the standard of dealing with humans. Often you think they are dead, but in fact they are only seriously injured. , You think they should have suffered serious injuries, but in fact they have nothing at all, and inexperienced fighters can easily suffer in this regard during the battle with the demons."

I found that I was very similar to the demons in this aspect, but my physical strength was due to the natural power of the wolf blood in my body.

"And if you meet a high-level demon on the battlefield, don't always think about how to kill it, first destroy the horn on his head..."

When Mo Xiang said this to me, I couldn't help reaching out and touching the top of my head to make sure that I really had no horns.

Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he still asked calmly: "After the high-level demons lose their horns, are they unable to cast magic?"

Mo Xiang patiently explained to me: "Well... what you said is not entirely correct. Casting dark magic will be affected to some extent. It's not that you can't cast it, but that you can't recover your mana..."

On the outer corridor on the fourth floor of the Tower of Pride, Mo Xiang and I talked a lot about the high-level demons, and then we talked about the wars on the multi-planes of Ahn'Qirad, talking about those single-attribute giant crossbows, I didn't expect that Mo Xiang would play a role in a battle as soon as he brought those magic crossbows with the 'armor-piercing' attribute to the battlefield. This was also something I never thought of.

After the Constructed Knights of the Mo family settled in the plane of Ahnquilador, they did not merge with Prince Charlie's legion, but stationed several places in the northwest of the plane called the Kuvachia Mountains. The purpose of the dangerous pass is to cut off the connection between the Nacoma legions.

This left the Nacoma army that was facing off against the Royal Knights in a state of isolation and helplessness. Although His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charles said so, Mo Xiang felt that it was cutting off the connection with Ahn'Qiraj. It is only the connection between the Nacomma Legion in the northwest. As for how many Nacoma people are still on the other roads, maybe even His Royal Highness Charlie himself does not know.

Unexpectedly, the situation on the Ahn'Qirad plane had deteriorated to such an extent. The Babington family had almost lost control of the Ahn'Qirad's plane. There was only one main city with a portal left.

When talking about those giant crossbows, Mo Xiang seemed very excited, and couldn't help praising: "The power of those magic crossbows is really good!"

He talked about the war of planes in Anchorado, his face couldn't hide his joy, and he said excitedly: "This time I encountered nearly [-] Nacoma in the Kuvaqia Mountain area of ​​Anchirado. A brigade composed of soldiers, fortunately, we made full preparations when we set up camp. Nearly a hundred bed crossbows were temporarily installed behind the camp wall. The Nacoma people originally planned to sneak up at night, but were discovered by our sentry. After that, he charged us directly, but didn't want to be shot and killed a lot by the bed crossbow behind the giant wooden fence of the camp."

I have bought a lot of Nacoma half body armor. Those black iron armors are very thick. Ordinary military crossbows can’t pose a threat to these armors. Probably only bed crossbows, a powerful weapon, can kill Nacoma people in pieces. .

I asked Mo Xiang: "During those previous battles, was it not effective to arrange some bed crossbows in the camp?"

"I have also used bed crossbows when fighting against the Nacoma people before. This kind of cumbersome big guy is not bad. Even if it can shoot through the tower shields in the hands of the Nacoma forward fighters, it cannot cause fatal damage to these forward fighters. Moreover, when the bed crossbow faces the Nacomma warriors charging, they can only shoot two to three rounds, and those Nacoma people can charge forward with the giant crossbow arrows." Mo Xiang said.

This is the fatal flaw of the bed crossbow. The soldiers who operate the bed crossbow often lack the corresponding self-protection ability. Once the enemy on the opposite side rushes up, the bed crossbow will completely lose its effect.

In fact, the Duke of Samoyed still attaches great importance to the bed crossbow, otherwise he would not have bought so many bed crossbows when deploying Tanton City's defense line.

Mo Xiang said: "Once the battle starts on the bed crossbow, it will be very troublesome. This kind of magic weapon is bulky and delicate. A bed crossbow can be easily replaced with a set of elementary magic pattern structures. Usually, the enemy attacking from the opposite side will Priority will be given to destroying the bed crossbows. Even if these bed crossbows can cause some casualties to the Nacoma, once the bed crossbows are destroyed by the enemy, it will not be worth the loss for us, and the cost is too expensive. Therefore, although the army will be equipped with some The number of bed crossbows will not be prepared too much, this thing used to have some power only when it was placed on the city wall!"

"This time when the Nacoma attacked the camp, it happened that we replaced the new magic crossbow. There were traps and roadblocks in front of the camp. The giant crossbow with the 'armor-piercing' property easily pierced through the Nacoma's thick armor. The bed crossbow repulsed the Nacoma people for three consecutive rounds of charge, and shot and killed more than 500 Nacoma warriors."

Listening to Mo Xiang talking about the battle a few days ago, it was a battle. The loss of the Mo family's army was very small, at best, some magic crossbows were lost. Although these single-attribute magic crossbows are expensive, in the face of victory, The huge expenses during the campaign should be able to make up for it.

I'm afraid that the kind of war has invested a lot of money, but it has suffered repeated failures. Many small lords with a Constructed Knights went bankrupt because of the failure of the war.

This time, Mo Xiang won a battle in the plane of Ahn'Qirad, and Louis and some friends led the Legion of Constructed Knights to the plane of Ahn'Qirad in person to help His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Charlie. Victory is just around the corner.
