my age of magic

Chapter 367 167. Ignaz's Diary

Twenty kilometers to the north of Mount Antiea, there is a big river named Galloping Horse.The Benma River joins the Baixiang River from Caishiji, flows through the northern hinterland of Sloit City, and flows southeast into the sea.

They all belong to the temperate mountainous jungle zone, and the natural environment is not much different.The entire Antiea Mountain is covered with black pine trees, but near the mountain manor behind the temple, golden apple trees surround the hills, row by row, layer by layer, lush and lush.In the depths of the apple grove, you can see the manor on the top of the cliff, with red tiles and white walls, and towering chimneys.A bald eagle glides high in the air along the stream, leaving a trail of smoke behind.It looked at the blue sky and land, showing its richness and beauty to the knights.

The rocks in the front pass were finally removed, and the horse team could move forward slowly. The chaotic voices of criticism finally stopped, and the knights quickly put on their armor on their mounts. Su and I also followed the whole team slowly. Moving forward, brother Evan frowned when he saw me walking along the roadside with Su on my back. He probably couldn't bear us to climb the mountain so hard. The companion beside him immediately whispered something to him, Evan Brother rubbed the back of his head in some embarrassment, his brows frowned into Chuan characters, he took a deep breath, and drove his horse back past the large army.

I continued to walk forward with Su on my back, and the hoofs of the tall horses passing by me raised a cloud of dust, the three of us were surrounded by the dust, very embarrassed.Brother Evan's companion signaled us to wait a moment.

Sure enough, in a short period of time, Evan led a knight in exquisite full-body armor over the horse team and rushed over from behind. I saw the two fire-focusing scrolls in the horse pocket of the big knight at a glance. The dull and honest Evan has also learned this little method that is always beneficial-"gift giving"!The big knight looked at me carefully for a moment with a sullen face, most of the time his eyes stayed on the magic badge on my chest, he held the rein of the horse in one hand, hesitated for a while and finally nodded and said: "You are the magician of El City. An apprentice at the academy?"

I saw the noble family badge pinned to his chest, and knew that this great knight was also a nobleman, so I saluted him and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Excellency. My teacher is the magic instructor of the water class at the Academy of Magic." Heidi, I'm a new student at the academy this year!"

"Oh, I know! Heidi is a very famous water magician in our city of El. Since she is her student, please sit in the logistics vehicle later and go up the mountain together. I will give orders to send People are looking for your sister, you don't have to worry, now the villa has been controlled by our vanguard battalion!" the great knight said in a deep voice.

I quickly expressed my thanks to him, he didn't continue to be courteous with us, he nodded directly to the accompanying officer beside him, and then drove the horse to continue on the road.

Brother Evan stayed behind and communicated with his companion in a low voice. They rode on horseback and followed the team forward, and the two walked further and further away.

Then, the logistics vehicle finally drove over, and we were placed in the carriage by the accompanying official who had been silent all the time.

Once the pass is over, it is another scene.Sitting on the sacks of the carriage and watching carefully, we clearly felt that we were already on the cliff road of the manor.The ridge is high and steep, and in some places breaks suddenly, and the bottom is a rocky abyss.Both sides of the road are covered with shrubs and bamboo forests, and thatch and thorny vines are coiled around each other, making it airtight.

The manor on the top of the cliff has already started to burn a building, and the cavalry team on the mountain road began to speed up.

"Hurry up and put out the fire, boys, those are the property of our knight order!" The knights in front shouted loudly to the team behind.

The sound of swords colliding could be vaguely heard. The fighting in the manor had not stopped, and demon hunters began to withdraw from the battlefield cleverly. Now it was time for the knights to fully receive the results of the battle. The devil knows how to accept as soon as it is good, otherwise he will be arrested by the knights of the guard camp.

Cindy didn't expect that she had just fled the manor in a hurry, and now she changed her identity and came back from the main entrance majestically. She asked me worriedly in a low voice: "Ji Jia, if the people in the manor recognize us, how can these knights recognize us?" Will the master take me away too?"

"It's okay. We're hiding near the material warehouse, which is the rear area. Basically, we have no chance to see the prisoners in the manor." I said to her.

Cindy breathed a sigh of relief. We just sat quietly in the carriage, and Su remained silent. It seemed that she hadn't had a good time in the past two months. Although she didn't suffer physically, the most fatal The most important thing is to be addicted to the drug addiction of 'Devil's Blood'. If you want to quit, it should be very difficult.Moreover, her priestly apprentice status was gone all of a sudden, she couldn't gain divine power when she prayed, and she couldn't use sacred spells anymore. Instead, she got a shady 'body of shadow', which is beyond my cognition , I don’t know what that situation is, but the powerful force she erupted before was actually able to summon a vampire in the form of an element. The power of this terrifying magic even exceeds all the first-level magic skills I know. !
Whether it's Fireball, Waterball, Lightning Bolt, Frostbolt, Wind Blade, or Spike, I'm afraid none of them are as terrifying as the so-called 'Vampire's Embrace'. Su didn't say where she learned that skill, and I didn't ask too much. Especially at this time, since she didn't say anything, I don't want to ask more, I'm afraid she has some secrets that she can't tell, and it will be too embarrassing.

Sitting on the carriage is fine. A good girl like Su sits beside me very quietly. Even if she is full of worries about Annie, she doesn't show it on her face.I took out Ignaz's diary and read it. Although a research-oriented magic scholar like him has gone astray, he still has a lot of knowledge. For example, he is very good at Potions. Open the 'Gate of Evil Ghosts' and summon hell creatures, so he should be very familiar with the magic skill of 'Gate of Evil Ghosts'.

Well, in fact, what I care most about is the knowledge about magic ink.

I opened Ignaz's diary, which recorded many trivial things here and there, but there were very few written descriptions about the magic ink.Open one of the pages at random:

...beautiful dividing line...

Ignaz's diary

Roland Imperial Legislative Year, 9821/15/23.

It was an extremely frustrating day. The last emperor's blood grass was also thrown into the crucible, but unfortunately the experiment still failed. Is it true that the material 'devil's blood' cannot be synthesized?

I decided to find the real blood of the devil.

Well, Jimmy told me it was hard, but I have been completely conquered by that potion formula, I can't imagine how much great research that potion will be, but I know it will make people get more powerful Power, this kind of power exists independently of the elemental power of the magic world, and should belong to the shadow power of the hell world. I am eager to see what it is like!
9823 8 Month 17 Day.

I have read the formula of the forbidden magic potion 'Shadow Body' in a 'Devil's Book'. I have been busy preparing a bottle of 'Shadow Body' for the past few years. I am a potion master, so I can't refuse The temptation of this potion formula.

Today I finally got some demon blood at the largest auction house in Haiyinsi. In order to get these demon blood, I almost researched the creatures in the entire hell world. I want to extract and synthesize some magical herbs that can replace A potion of devil's blood, unfortunately it's really hard.

However, I managed to buy a small bottle anyway, and I was finally able to continue my research.

9827 4 Month 1 Day.

For those low-level creatures in the hell world, I will open the "Gate of Demons" to summon them. I even made some plants in the hell world, but unfortunately there is still no way to get more demon blood. I think it's time to collect those auxiliary of the material.

I should make some potions and send them to the auction house, so tomorrow!
I need a lot of magic crystals, there are too many damn goats, should I sell them to the slave market?I need a bigger laboratory, and the laboratory of Haiyinsi Kil'jaeden School of Magic can't meet my requirements. I'm going to resign tomorrow, and my blood is already boiling.

9827 4 Month 29 Day.

It's really cold in the north, but my friend Oya Qiao is really a generous person. He lent me his private villa for academic research. I am very grateful to him!
The daily necessities have been prepared, but the experimental equipment has to be shipped from Haiyinsi, maybe it will be back next week, I really can't wait to do the experiment.

He also introduced some friends to me. These people seem to have very unique views on magic, but I think their arguments must be difficult for the Magic Guild to accept, just like the bottle of forbidden potion I developed. The people in the temple know that I will definitely be pushed to the gallows or cross, but I am not afraid, and they seem not to be afraid either. We are a group of like-minded people.

I love going to salons like this.

9829 12 Month 2 Day.

It turned out that they were members of the Priory of the Black Arts, they extended an invitation to me, and I can finally join this organization!

These magic materials can be obtained so easily. It was a waste of time before.

It seems that I should raise more hellhounds, which is also a new way to get rich.

9830 11 Month 30 Day.

Unexpectedly, after researching the 'Shadow Body', I began to worry about the lack of a suitable carrier. I tried to let various creatures take the Dark Body. It seems that the potion is like a poison, as long as I drink it, it will be exploded by dark elements. I bought some strong slaves and tramps from slave traders, but it still doesn't work!

There is only so little. Although I still have a lot of poppy flower juice in the flower garden, the devil's blood is not something that can be found on Roland Continent. It took me countless efforts to get just that little amount of devil's blood. I need to save some money.

9830 12 Month 26 Day.

I think I'm probably crazy, that girl is an apprentice priest, the sacred power in her body is so pure, I don't know what will happen if she drinks the 'Shadow Body'?
That kid Simon shouldn't be angry, anyway, the person she likes is the girl's older sister. If the experiment fails, maybe I can tell her that the girl died of a disease.He shouldn't blame me.

If it fails again, I want to leave the last potions of the 'Shadow Body' to me. Perhaps the formula of this forbidden potion was originally a joke.

9830 12 Month 29 Day.

Oh My God!It was a success. After the girl took the 'Shadow Body', everything was normal.

how so?Could it be that the divine power in her body counteracted those shadow powers...

...beautiful dividing line...

I turned to the last page and saw that Ignaz hadn't finished writing the last few sentences. It turned out that he was hiding here to study the potion of "Shadow Body". Magic potion, Ignaz is also in the experiment process, he has no more experience in using it.But what I'm most worried about right now is that Su has a lot of dependence on the 'Shadow Body' and has become addicted.

The whole diary doesn't record how to get rid of the "Shadow Body". This is the ultimate purpose of reading the whole diary, but unfortunately I didn't get the answer.

The mention of the Black Magic Priory in the diary surprised me a bit. I thought that the crazy alchemist might have been a member of this organization before that. In such a small border town, it is also the place where those hidden forces gather. , but being able to set up a stronghold in such a grand manner under the nose of the temple makes me admire Ignaz very much.

Su sat beside me, looking at the manor in the distance with some absent-mindedness, waiting for Annie to return safely.

It was almost dusk, and half of the sky was dyed wine red by the setting sun. Although the fire in the manor had been extinguished, it was still billowing with thick smoke.

Team after team of knights had already begun to withdraw from the manor, dragging the trophies they were looking at.The knights of the guard battalion cleaned the battlefield very thoroughly. As long as they could move things, they were loaded on carriages. The hardwood furniture and decorations in the room, including dining tables, cabinets, weapon racks, and bedrooms The carpets and so on in the house, as long as they can be moved, are not left.

Watching the carts of trophies pass by us, the knights with minor injuries also sat in the carriage, discussing today's battle situation and gains enthusiastically, obviously they are not very satisfied with such gains.

The knight who was driving was whipping, and in one hand was holding a piece of wheat cake, but it seemed that the cake was a bit hard, and he had a bit of trouble chewing on it.

The knight sitting next to him frowned and said, "CTNND, where did the manor owner go? Didn't you hear that he was shot by that demon hunter? Why did you let him run away?"

The knight driving the chariot probably choked, drank a big sip of water, and stretched his neck hard before sending the mouthful of wheat cake into his stomach.Then he said regretfully: "Whether you run or not is uncertain, there are so many demon hunters here today, maybe someone will block them in the secret room and kill them, and then quietly get the most valuable things and sneak away That's it! We're left with a pile of rags, and this cartload of stuff can't be exchanged for a good meal!"

There are no materials in the basement, dungeons, or caves on the carriages passing by. I think that no matter how stupid the knights of the guard camp are, they will never miss these places. It is probably because the inside is full of smoke. Don't go to people!
Hearing the two knights talk about the most valuable things in the manor hidden in Ignaz, Cindy glanced at me a little nervously, but no one paid attention to us three children who sat in the carriage honestly. Otherwise, there would be some clues from Cindy's weird expression.

That's right, the magic belt bag on Ignaz has already been tied to my belt. As a magic apprentice, having a magic belt can only be said to be a bit extravagant, but it is not eye-catching.No one knows that the magic purse on my waist contains the most valuable things in the whole manor.

A group of young people came out of the manor supporting each other, and Anne carried an unconscious young man on her back, leading them out of the manor eagerly.

Little Evan was escorting him at the side at this time, and whenever someone wanted to stop him, he would step forward and say something, so although there were always people trying to stop the young couple along the way, those people didn't want to make trouble on purpose , It's just that I don't want the fat in my hands to be distributed like this. The ghost knows that these young boys and girls have found some good things in the manor, and they are so eager to run out.

Annie was not injured, and she was holding a magic long sword in her hand at this time, and the sword was full of red flames.

It seems that after a fight, he finally walked out of the manor with his friends, and rushed to me...
