The mage arrives

Gordon retreated a distance of about 50 meters, and had just arrived at a safe position, when Barlow finally shed his last drop of blood.

Before dying, this powerful demon activated its unique ability "Burning Body Explosion", and its entire body instantly transformed into a huge incandescent fireball, engulfing everything within 30 meters around it.

Gordon's back was facing the Balrog, and even though he was more than 20 meters away from the explosion range, he still felt a scorching heat on his back.Fortunately, he was protected by the Salamander cloak, otherwise Gordon, who had exhausted all his spells, would still have a scalded skin on his back even if he hadn't been injured by the aftermath of the explosion.

After the high-temperature explosion and the white light that could temporarily blind people, Gordon turned around and found a large radial area of ​​scorched earth centered on the position where the Balrog was standing just now.

Those surviving Glaubers and Berserkers were already burnt to ashes by the Balrog's self-destruction.Even the three silver dragon steel crossbow arrows that shot into the body of the Balrog were scorched black by the high temperature and lost their original properties.

The substance Longsteel was originally formed by being contaminated with the breath of a giant dragon for a long time, so it is inherently less stable than a truly naturally formed metal.Although Gordon felt sorry, there was nothing he could do.

The shocking explosion of Barlow's Balrog marked the official end of the war.There are no more demons who dare to resist head-on. These abyss invaders either died at the hands of humans or undead, or they have already fled into the deep mountains and dense forests.

But unless the aborigines of the main material world can be found to sign a contract as soon as possible, under the suppression of the power of the plane, these demons who escaped by chance will not survive for long.

The undead gave up their pursuit one after another, and gradually gathered around Leixi Guard Captain Hai Ting.

Looking up from a distance, there is a large gray and white ghost on the bloody battlefield.It looks very intrusive.

"Mr. Gordon, the mission entrusted to us by Lord Bahamut has been completed. It's time to say goodbye." The resolute soldier looked around with nostalgia and said.

Thousands of years ago, this place used to be the place where they, the people of the Saiding Kingdom, fought fiercely with the black dragon.Now that I revisit the old place, I feel a lot of nature.

"Then, take care, Your Excellency Haiting." Gordon said.

"If we want to see each other again, I hope it won't be too soon." The always serious Hai Ting was also in the mood to joke when he parted, "I'm willing to pay any price to taste the sweetness of apples and the mellowness of ale. Exist in this way It took me a long time to understand how precious it is to be alive."

"Don't worry, I still want to live a little longer, and I don't want to go to the Kingdom of God to report so soon." Gordon said, and then added something in his heart. "Even if I die, I should go to Ioun's country. Instead of going to the hometown of the Platinum Dragon."

Haiting saw that not far away, the vanguard cavalry pursued by humans was getting closer.He obviously didn't want to have any contact with these living people.Although they have just fought side by side and eliminated the demons, there is a huge gap between the living and the dead. In order to avoid unnecessary friction, it is better to leave as soon as possible.

Hating gave Gordon a farewell military salute.All the ghost warriors behind him also saluted Gordon in unison.

A whimpering mountain wind blew by, and under the gloomy winter moon, the undead gradually disappeared without a trace.Like a dream without a trace.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer, and a group of cavalry soon came to Gordon.

The leading four heavy cavalry separated to the two sides to make way, and a gorgeously dressed knight walked out from the heavy protection.

Seeing the appearance of the person coming, Gordon couldn't help being surprised: "Earl Thompson? When did this old guy have the guts to lead the crowd to chase after the devil?"

Gordon looked the old earl up and down, and found that the old earl was covered in dirty blood, and there was a crack torn by sharp claws on the shiny breastplate - this should be done by the Berserker, and his left arm was also drooping weakly. He looked like he was seriously injured.

If it was the cavalry commander, Viscount Curtis, who appeared at this time, Gordon would take it for granted, but the one who led the cavalry charge was actually this old guy who had always stayed at the back in previous battles and dared not even draw his sword. It's worth playing.

Gordon looked around carefully again, and found that the cavalry in front of him were all nobles from Earl Thompson's faction and their family's private soldiers.

Earl Thompson didn't know that Gordon had dim vision far superior to that of ordinary humans, and he had already discovered all kinds of inadequacies in himself.He was also surprised that Gordon appeared in such a place at such a time.

Originally, he thought that this young mage, whom Bishop was very fond of, would stick to the most important part of the defense line, just like the kid from the Lannister family, but he did not expect that this mage actually appeared at the back of the battlefield.

Could it be that those undead came with him?

All kinds of thoughts burst out in his mind, and Earl Thompson suddenly realized that this might be a place that could be used.

Although he had just "killed" the other party's sister, Earl Thompson, who had been in the aristocratic circle all his life, did not show any abnormalities in front of Gordon.He asked calmly: "Your Excellency Baron Freeman, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet here."

"Earl Thompson took the lead in the charge and slaughtered demons with blood, which is admirable." Gordon said indifferently.

"Where, even if we ride horses, it seems that we can't compare with the baron's feet."

Gordon heard something in the other party's words, clearly wondering why he appeared in such a place.He didn't need it, and the other party didn't have the qualifications to let him explain the plan and hidden secrets, so Gordon just smiled and said nothing.

Earl Thompson rolled his eyes and didn't mention the matter of the undead. He just yelled: "Soldiers, keep moving forward and hunt down those abyssal bastards! For Freyton!"

"For Freyton!"

A group of people responded in unison.

After a mess of people, the old earl left with a group of people.At this time, all the demons who should have escaped should have escaped long ago, and I don't know who they are acting for.

Not long after Earl Thompson left, Faria also staggered out from the hillside where she was hiding.

Gordon saw the silver hair that was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, and hurried over and asked, "How is it, have you recovered?"

"Not yet, but at least I can walk." Faria shook her head, her lips were almost bloodless.

Just finished.She suddenly felt dizzy, and fell into Gordon's arms involuntarily.

In order to reduce the burden, the young lady had already taken off all her armor and put it in the dimensional bag.Now she was wearing a cotton lining, and after leaning on him, Gordon could clearly feel the softness and elasticity of the girl's body.

"This kind of sickness and tenderness is pretty good... At least it's cuter than riding a giant bear and holding a meteor hammer to find a duel." Gordon thought to himself.But he dared not say that.

Supporting Faria, Gordon walked across the battlefield, preparing to go to the camp to report to Ms. Bishop.Along the way, human soldiers can be seen happily sweeping the battlefield with daggers and long swords or other weapons at hand.

A pair of small forelimbs of the glabra, the eyeballs of the quasimo, the claws of the berserker...the demons are full of treasures.Even leather, bone, blood.It is also a very useful alchemy material.The faces of these soldiers were filled with joy, not only because they survived, but also because they were able to obtain a considerable amount of wealth after this battle.

"It is estimated that this winter, in the alchemy market of Clearwater City, the prices of all kinds of demonic raw materials will drop a bit due to the sufficient supply. After returning, we should ask Douluo to buy a batch and stock up..."

Thinking about various questions.The two soon came to Ms. Bishop's tent.The discussion inside was in full swing, and it seemed that they were discussing how to deal with the post-war affairs.

Gordon was about to go in when he suddenly heard a "beep beep" sound from his arms.

It turned out that the voice was the badge enchanted with the communication technique that Dorn had given him before.Two people often use it to convey information.

"Gordon, come to the stables quickly, there is something urgent!" Don's tone sounded urgent, after he finished speaking.The two cut off communication.

"Let's go together. Anyway, I'm not interested in counting the casualties in the tent, compensating the dead or even distributing the spoils of war," Faria said.

The two walked around the tent and soon came to the stables.

Dawn seemed to be waiting there.As soon as he saw Gordon appearing, he immediately went up to meet him and said, "You have to see the specific situation yourself. Remember, don't get too excited and keep calm."

When Gordon heard this, an ominous premonition emerged from the bottom of his heart.He hurried in and saw two corpses at a corner first.

One was Burdisso Baratheon.There was a huge fatal sword wound on his body, which should have been caused by his sister Xiona.In this way, the task I assigned to her has been completed.

But when he saw the corpse lying next to Burdisso, Gordon immediately frowned.Although the part from the right chest to the neck is gone, it can still be seen from its clothing that this mutilated corpse is Bivis.

From the damage of the corpse, Gordon immediately recognized that this was the result of the dissociation technique.What Burdisso mastered was the fire spell from the abyss of purgatory.It is impossible for him to master such a high-level spell as the dissociation technique of the six-ring transformation system.

In other words, after the battle with Burdisso, Xiona and Bivis encountered other enemies.

After walking a few more steps inside, Gordon saw the highest-ranking priest in the autumn hunting team, Viscount Angelo, who believed in the Platinum Dragon, wiping the sweat from his forehead as if relieved.Judging by his expression, it seemed that he had expended a lot of energy to perform the magic just now.

And at his feet, Xiona lay quietly, her eyes closed, her face without a trace of blood, and the broken leather armor on her body was stained red with blood, like a bright red rose blooming.

Seeing his sister's appearance, Gordon's pupils suddenly shrank, and his whole body trembled.After a while, he ran to Xiona and squatted down in a few strides, grabbed her slender hand, and held it tightly.

Feeling the slight warmth from his hands, Gordon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just a serious injury and a coma.He would never forgive himself if the most dire consequences did occur.

"How is her injury?" the young mage asked.

Donn noticed that although his friend's voice remained calm, there was still a hint of trill.It is conceivable how much Xiona's encounter had affected him.Donne knew that his good friend was an excellent mage, based on rationality, and could control his emotions very well.Even so, he could tell that although he finally endured it, Gordon almost lost control just now.One can imagine.How important Xiona was to him.

"What an enviable brother-sister relationship."

Faced with Gordon's question, Viscount Angelo did not dare to neglect, and quickly said: "I have used up several magical spells, and even used up all the ivy leaves in my collection, which made Miss Xiona's injury Stabilize."

The pastor showed Gordon a withered leaf in his hand.

Gordon knew that the leaf of the ivy was a high-level magic item, which could store a large amount of healing spells, and it was very cumbersome and expensive to make.In order to save Xiona, Viscount Angelo seemed to have taken out all the things at the bottom of the box.

"Thank you."

"But..." Viscount Angelo's lips twitched, and he finally said. "Your Excellency the Baron, your sister's internal organs were seriously injured. I tried my best to stabilize the injury for half a day at most. After that, there is nothing I can do."

"long time……"

Look at Viscount Angelo's appearance.I'm afraid the magic spells prepared have long been used up, and the other priests have gone through this battle after.I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave healing magic.Prepare the spell until the next prayer.There are still 24 hours, and Xiona simply can't make it through that time.

And in the depths of the Cold Mist Mountains, it was impossible to rush back to Clear Water City to find enough rescue power within half a day.

"If only I could take that teleportation staff with me when I leave home." Donne sighed.

"Gordon, you can save Xiona." At this time.Faliya, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

She pointed to the back of Gordon's hand: "Do you still remember the platinum seal that Master Bahamut gave you?"

Sure enough, caring would lead to chaos, and Gordon found himself forgetting the reward he had just received from the Platinum Dragon.

"However, I don't know how to use the Platinum Seal at all?"

"Just do it according to your own feeling. Just like when you used the Platinum Seal to treat my injury."

Gordon put his right hand on Xiona's abdomen in doubt.

Before he had time to think about anything, the rigid dragon pattern on the back of his hand suddenly burst into a platinum glow.Gordon felt it.The familiar burning sensation emanated from his arm, and he even felt nostalgic.

The platinum light quickly enveloped Xiona.

Seeing this scene, Pastor Angelo yelled "Dragon God is above" and quickly half-knelt down, put on a prayer posture, closed his eyes, and silently recited a prayer.

He could feel that what Gordon exuded was extremely pure and surging Bahamut divine power.This pastor has seen many bishop-level figures of the Platinum Temple, but he has never felt such pure divine power from them.

Dawn was also a little confused when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Didn't you go to slaughter the dragon? Why did you get this ability after you came back? Isn't this guy a follower of Ioun? When did he get involved with Bahamut again? This friend of mine is really an adventure Repeatedly..."

Donne glanced at Faliya, but it was obvious that the latter had no interest in explaining the ins and outs of the matter to him.He sighed, and could only ask Gordon slowly later.

After the platinum glow dissipated, Xiona, who was lying quietly, seemed to be in much better condition.Not only was his breathing more steady and powerful, but his face also had some color.

Pastor Angelo checked carefully, nodded, and took a long breath: "Miss Xiona's injury seems to have completely stabilized and will not get worse. All that remains is to return to Clearwater City as soon as possible. Then proceed to the next step of treatment. But before that, she may remain unconscious."

"This is enough. Your Excellency, Viscount Angelo, the Freeman family will remember your kind deed today." Gordon solemnly saluted the other party.

"Helping the wounded is the duty of our dragon god believers." The pastor quickly returned a salute.Of course, the real reasons why he was so dedicated were, firstly, for the sake of Donne, and secondly, he also wanted to make friends with Gordon, a promising young mage.

But at this time, Pastor Angelo had no intention of calculating the gains and losses of these benefits. His mind was full of the term "Platinum Seal" that Faria said just now.He asked himself that his belief in the Platinum Dragon was considered pious, and he had a lot of experience in the study of religious and mythological classics, but he had never heard of such a thing as the "Platinum Seal".

"I have to go back to Clear Water City as soon as possible, to find all kinds of Dragon God classics and study it..."

After a while, Dorn's lover, Miss Helen, also rushed over. She and Falia brought the unconscious Xiona into their tent.

Xiona was covered in blood and dust, and her sanitary condition was extremely poor, which was extremely detrimental to her recovery.Some things, such as washing the body, are still convenient for girls to do at home.

Gordon was very grateful to see Faliya, who took the initiative to take care of Xiona regardless of her injury just recovered, but just as he said his thanks, the other party said, "You are Xiona's brother, but don't forget , she is also my good friend" pushed back.

Gordon smiled and shook his head, and left the tent, his expression turned cold and terrifying in an instant.

Standing next to him, Donne couldn't help shivering when he saw his friend's face, and thought to himself: "Someone is going to be unlucky..."

"Dawn, tell me what you know." Gordon said in a deep voice.

Xiona's injury, and Bivis' death, no matter who did all of this, no matter where that person is or what his identity is, he will make him pay a hundred times the price!

Dorn coughed dryly, organized his words, and said, "After the undead army you brought arrived on the battlefield tonight, the situation of the battle quickly turned around. Seeing that victory is in sight, Ms. Bishop told me not to participate in chasing demons, but to go to the stables to watch Take a look. She said that when the battle situation was tense, Earl Thompson and his gang abandoned their positions and wanted to go to the stables to get the horses and break out of the encirclement to escape."

"Earl Thompson?" Gordon said meaningfully. (To be continued..)
