The mage arrives

Roar!

A dragon's cry that pierced the eardrum and pointed directly at the soul suddenly came from the sky.This is not the cry of those flying dragons just now, but belongs to the real giant dragon—the noble creature that surpasses the world and rules the entire second era.

Many people on the ground turned pale and their legs became weak because of the huge dragon's roar.Gordon noticed that a large shadow was coming, covering the small square where they were in darkness.He looked up and found that there were a total of six giant dragons flying over the small square.This group of dragons, led by a silver dragon, followed by five bronze dragons and a red copper dragon, was flying into the distance, and what came to meet them was another group of dragons led by a red dragon.

Twelve giant dragons began a fierce and tragic fight over the city.Various high-level attack spells and terrifying dragon flames bombarded each other amidst the roar of dragon language.A series of dragon roars and explosions shook the crowd watching the battle like a heavy hammer, making their hearts almost jump out of their throats.

In addition to the terrifying battlefield in the sky, the battle situation on the ground is also very fierce.Flames soaring into the sky rose from all over the city from time to time, as if they were going to burn the entire sky red.

Those shouts of killing were deafening, as if they were ringing right next to their ears.Everyone in the adventure team had a feeling in their hearts, as if a block away, there was an extremely bloody and fierce battle going on.

how is this possible! ?

Why was this city, which was still calm just now, as if it had been sleeping in the ice and snow for nearly ten thousand years, suddenly plunged into a large-scale war?

Gordon realized that the city was far from being as simple as it seemed.I am afraid they have entered a terrible place.

Regarding the current completely unknown sudden situation, Gordon thought about it, and decided to wait and see what happened, and wait and see.

So he nodded to the young Fajis centurion and said, "I understand, please lead us to the barracks."

"Of course. This is my obligation." Fajis said with joy on his face, "Although you free mercenaries and our regular army have different purposes for participating in the battle, since everyone is in the same camp now, we will fight against the evil Tia together. If Matt fights like a dog, then we are comrades in arms!"

Gordon could see it.This Phages has not yet been stained with the bad temper of a veteran, and is still a passionate young man with idealism.Such a soldier should be easy to deal with if he has an appetite.

As a result, a group of flying dragon knights took to the sky again, and the others flew into the distance, and once again entered the battlefield.But Fajis stayed behind specially to lead the way for Gordon and his party.

along the way.The centurion Fajis was eloquently explaining to Gordon the current battle situation in Se Anzu City.

Three days ago, the army of five-color dragon descendants assembled a total of superior forces of three legions and launched a large-scale attack on Se Anzu.Because the opponent's commander-in-chief, the red dragon Titanis, used a powerful artifact, which caused the outer city wall of Se'anzu to fall.The Gold and Silver Wings had to shrink back to the city, using brutal and bloody street fighting to slow down the enemy's attack.

After receiving emergency reinforcements from the rear, the Metal Dragonborn side immediately organized a counterattack, forming the current situation where the two sides each occupy half of the city and are engaged in a tug-of-war.

Gordon knew that the battle described by the other party actually took place in the distant Second Era, and had nothing to do with them, the latecomers of the Fourth Era.But in order to collect more information.In order to understand the current situation, he still listened carefully to what the other party said.

Soon, the shouts and explosions gradually faded away.Gordon and his party came to the rear of the battle line.

The station of the Flying Dragon Knight Centuries of Fajis was originally the location of the famous magic university in Se Anzu City, but now it is occupied by a large group of soldiers.In addition to the Flying Dragon Knight Centurion, there were 500 archers, 40 light infantry, [-] heavy infantry, and about [-] light cavalry and heavy cavalry in total.More than [-] teachers and students who originally studied and worked in the Magic University were also recruited into the army and sent to the battlefield as field mages.

"Master Lindeman. Don't you think this place is weird?" Aziz said to Gordon in a low voice.

The latter nodded: "I agree with you very much."

On the surface, this is a busy military camp.Soldiers everywhere are busy with their own affairs, running back and forth.All kinds of ordnance and supplies were piled up scattered but orderly throughout the barracks.The aroma of food came from the cafeteria.There were still groans from the wounded in the medical room.

The army blacksmith is repairing the armor and polishing the weapons for the soldiers.Not far away from Zhangli, the Chinese military camp, there were quarrels among the officers because of the dispute over the battle plan.

However, if this busy military scene is matched with the old antique architecture and the snow that has accumulated for thousands of years but has not been cleaned, it will look very strange.

Aziz grabbed his beard and frowned: "These illusions... Although it's a bit inaccurate for me to call them that. Because in the formal magic theory, it is impossible for illusions to harm real creatures. But after figuring out these Let's call them 'phantoms' until we know what existence is and what this city is."

"Agreed." Gordon said, "I just quietly conducted a thorough investigation on that Fajis centurion. I found that the other party belonged to a special existence formed by a mixture of spiritual consciousness and arcane energy. The illusions are not unreasonable. It's just that I still need time—perhaps a lot of time to figure out what happened in this city. Also, why these illusions are still fighting the war that has long ended."

"It seems that the time of the whole city has stood still," Aziz added.

As a mage, Gao felt that he was very lucky to have a colleague like Aziz to discuss with each other when he encountered such unsolved mysteries.Others, such as the Jinyue swordsman, although their fighting power is very strong, and it can even be said to surpass Gordon, but she is helpless when it comes to problems that require brains and knowledge to solve.

Soon, Gordon and his party were assigned to a classroom by Centurion Fudges as a temporary resting place.Free mercenaries like them also lived in other nearby classrooms.It's just that those are illusions, only the lonely travelers in the city are real living people.

After settling down, and there was no danger for the time being, Master Jinyue decided to let everyone split up and go to the barracks to investigate to see if they could find any useful clues.

Gordon, as a matter of course, moves with Jill and Vinia.

Under Gordon's leadership, the three decided to search the university's library first.Although it was the first time in two epochs, even if the books in this library were not destroyed in the war, they would gradually decay and damage with the passage of time, but Gordon still decided to go there to have a look.

Because the library, as the palace and preservation place of knowledge, is often built particularly strong, with excellent fire prevention and anti-theft measures, and with a little modification, it is a very strong defensive building.

Although no one knew the outcome of the Se Anzu offensive and defensive battle that had been lost in the historical records, Gordon knew that if the battle went unfavorable, the library would become the last stronghold of the entire military camp.He might be able to find useful information in it.

After melting part of the snow accumulated outside the library with her burning hands, Jier kicked open the window and climbed into the house.Watching her more and more proficient movements, Gordon couldn't help sighing that the young lady of the Phoenix family, who is ignorant of the world, has now grown into an excellent adventurer.

"What a musty smell..." Ji'er covered her nose tightly, looking at the empty and old lobby on the first floor of the library.

There is no doubt that no one has been here for a long, long time.Because of the low temperature, there are no insects in the house, nor the large number of cobwebs that are usually common in relics and ancient buildings.

Vinya glanced out the window, the busy and lively scene of the barracks was in stark contrast to the thousands of years of dust in the library, where time seemed to be stagnant.

"It's such a weird world..." She shook her head, and walked over to Gordon.Perhaps Vinia felt safe only when she was with her fiancé.

Gordon cast an illumination spell, and then the three of them started from the first floor and searched the huge building from bottom to top.

After the first search, the three found nothing.But Gordon was not discouraged.He started a second round of more careful in-depth search again, and used a series of detection spells.The hard work paid off, and he found a secret passage entrance hidden by the constant illusion on the west wall of the third floor of the library.

He walked into the secret passage first, and soon found a secret room.

In this secret room with an area of ​​about [-] square meters, there are dozens of bones lying against the wall.There are many food scraps and exhausted daily necessities scattered on the ground.Gordon just glanced at it, and he was able to almost restore the original scene in the secret room: - For some reasons, these people were not allowed to enter the secret room, and in the end, due to subjective or objective reasons, they were never able to leave, and finally exhausted all the supplies Pin, trapped to death here.

Gordon didn't check the bones with many thoughts first, but first cast his gaze to the center of the secret room.

A skeleton wearing a gorgeous white gold-rimmed mage robe, lying on top of a large pile of neatly stacked stone slabs, seemed to be protecting these things before dying.

In the era of the Akhosian Empire, the paper preservation solution invented by later generations in the Netherdulan Magic Empire had not yet appeared. The intellectuals of the Dragonborn Empire thought that although paper was convenient, it was easily damaged. Only slate, Only then can the knowledge that has been passed down for a long time be recorded. (to be continued)
