The mage arrives

Although mages seem to deal with mysterious events all day long, they are not magic sticks, but scholars and researchers who agree with reason and facts. They can be regarded as scientists in the world of swords and magic.

Gordon didn't believe Aziz just because the 'Shadow of the Night Wind' barracks spooky story sounded sensational, but he believed that the mage from the Ben Latu family would never talk to him about it for no reason. matter.

The bearded mage shook his head, smiled and said to Gordon: "Mr. Lindeman, this is definitely not just a rumor. You know, apart from the 15 of us, all the creatures in this city, regardless of whether they are five-color dragons One side is the metal dragon side, whether it is soldiers, mages, knights, dragons, they are just illusions. They are trapped in the past time and are still fighting. But the legend of "Shadow of Night Wind" seems to be It's too real to fit into this war. So I thought, maybe the monster that wanders around Se'anzu under the moonlight and preys on beautiful women is different from these phantom soldiers we have seen, and it is real. "

"Then have you heard the other party talk about further information about 'Shadow of Night Wind'?"

"Unfortunately, no."

All in all, Gordon took Aziz's words to heart first.

Others did not get more useful information.Master Jinyue Swordsman then decided, just to be on the safe side, rest in this barracks for one night, and continue to set off tomorrow to find the missing Miss Lisa.The war of those phantoms has nothing to do with them, there is no need to participate in it, and it is the best policy to stay away from the battlefield as much as possible.

However.This night is destined not to be peaceful.

After the daily routine of meditation, Gordon, who had exhausted his energy, slept soundly.He was suddenly awakened by a pair of white and tender hands.

Someone who has the permission to come to Gordon without triggering all kinds of magical precautionary measures before going to sleep.There are only two: fiancée Vinia and Miss Jill.

Gordon opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the long blond hair that shone dazzlingly under the dim light even in the dark night, and the pair of beautiful wine-red eyes.

"Ji'er, what's the matter? Do you want to attack me at night behind Viniya's back? This is not good, after all we still..."

The eldest lady glared at her, and said anxiously: "You scoundrel, what are you thinking! I'm here to tell you that Vinia is missing!"

"What!?" heard the other party's words.Gordon was thinking about how to tease the relaxed state of the girl in front of him, and it disappeared immediately.He quickly sat up and asked, "What about the details? Tell me slowly."

The place for Gordon and his party to rest is the free mercenary dormitory in the barracks, which used to be dozens of classrooms in the Magic University.Although it is not a serious residential house, it is not very comfortable to live in, but fortunately, it has ample space and will not be crowded.

Because Gordon needs to meditate, and prepare some small magic props and potions that may be used in tomorrow's journey.So in order not to disturb each other, he slept alone in a classroom, and Jill slept next door with Vinia and Aziz's sister Kaya.

But I didn't expect to sleep in a separate room, and something went wrong that night.

Jill was awakened in the middle of the night by the continuous sound of two armies bombarding each other with heavy catapults in the distance.Then she found out.Vinia, who was sleeping next to her, was gone.She originally thought that the female druid might have gotten up to go to the bathroom at night, but after waiting for a long time, the sleeping bag was completely cold.She didn't come back either.

Jier felt that something might be wrong, so she took out the summons brooch to contact Vinia.But still no response.When she recalled Miss Lisa's disappearance, she felt a chill in her heart.Run to inform Gordon immediately.

Gordon also thought of the disappearance of the mysterious Miss Lisa before entering Se Anzu, and the strange talk about the military camp that he heard when talking with Aziz before going to bed today—the silent haunt, specially in the A monster that appears at night and preys on beautiful women.

"damn it!"

After searching the residence carefully and exhausting almost all methods, Gordon still failed to find any clues related to Vinia's disappearance.When Miss Lisa disappeared before, he could still hold the attitude of having nothing to do with himself, but now, he can also understand Jin Yue's mood.

It's a terrible situation where you don't have a clue about the problem that needs to be solved, and don't know how to start to solve it.Gordon was shrouded in anxiety for a long time, and felt the frustration of powerlessness.

However, the development of things is far worse than he expected.At this moment, a series of violent explosions suddenly came from outside.Gordon has already heard that it is the unique magic weapon of the Arkhosia Empire - the loud noise made by the explosion of the crystal cannonball fired by the Dragon Roaring Magic Crystal Cannon.However, that kind of weapon technology has long been lost in the Fourth Era, and only some unusable Dragon Roar Magic Crystal Cannons are preserved in museums as antiques.

The dragon roar magic crystal cannon is powerful, but the cost of use is also extremely high.The magic crystal consumed for each launch, plus the cost of the shells, exceeded five hundred gold coins.This kind of strategic weapon, which is only attached to the mage group directly under the legion and directly under the command of the legion leader, is not something that can be used casually.

Now that the enemy has used this weapon, it means that they have made a big move.

Although the barracks where Gordon and his party were located was not directly hit by the Dragon Roaring Magic Crystal Cannon, the violent vibration still made the whole building tremble, and dust fell from the ceiling, making the faces of other awakened people turn pale.

When the adventure team headed by Jinyue had all gathered together, a person hurried over and found them.

"Freedom mercenary, come with me, the enemy suddenly launched a surprise attack at night, and our barracks have been surrounded!"

Everyone's faces changed.What surprised Gordon even more was that the person who came to inform them of the urgent news was actually the young Dragon Knight officer who had died on the battlefield yesterday afternoon——Farges.

Seeing a group of people opposite him looking at him in surprise, Fajis immediately raised his voice and repeated the message just now.At the end, he added another sentence: "By the way, this is the first time we meet. I am the captain of the 700th squadron of the Flying Dragon Cavalry, Fajis."

Gordon and Jill looked at each other, and they both read a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

Phages is not dead?And judging from his appearance, it seems that he has lost his memory and no longer recognizes Gordon and his group.

But there is another possibility.That is, the other party has actually been "reset".

Gordon seems to have grasped something, but the secrets of this city still seem to be hidden in a thick fog, only some outlines are faintly revealed. If he wants to see the whole truth, he needs to get closer. OK.

But at this time, Vinya's disappearance, and Se Anzu's secret, are not important.Gordon was faced with the most urgent and fundamental question: survival.

First of all, he had to escape alive from the besieged barracks before he could consider the next question.

Although the enemies are all illusions, they are unusual illusions that can pose a real threat to Gordon and his party.

When a group of people rushed out of the house, they found that although the bombardment of the Dragon Roaring Magic Crystal Cannon had ended, the five-color dragonborn army had broken through the last line of defense of the metal dragonborn.The deer village was destroyed, the trenches were filled, and the watchtowers continued to collapse under the bombardment of attack spells.

"The legion headquarters has issued a retreat order. We need to regroup at the Bahamut Temple in the northeast of the city, reorganize, and then launch a counterattack. Come with me, and we will retreat through the Valu beast." Fargis told Gordon a group of people shouted.

Varu is a heavy flying creature brought back by the Arkhosian Empire from other conquered plane colonies. It has a gentle temper and great strength. After training, it can become a very good beast of burden.This simple and honest creature, which looks like a hippopotamus with four pairs of huge wings, is the most important war logistics transport tool of the Arkhosian Empire.

However, Fajis led Gordon and his team to charge left and right, and cut a bloody path. When they arrived at the Flying Beast Field, a bolt of lightning, like a sharp sword, suddenly stabbed diagonally from the darkness not far away, killing Young centurion gets chest pierced.His chest cavity was connected with the armor he was wearing outside, and a black scorched round hole was instantly burned out by the lightning energy, and then fell to the ground without a sound, and finally turned into a little bit of energy fragments, disappearing without a trace.

Fargis took his lunch again, Gordon paid no attention to it.But he was very concerned about the terrible lightning that killed the dragon knight officer.Gordon, who immediately realized that he had encountered a strong enemy, took out a prepared scroll from the inside of the mage's robe almost without thinking.

When another mighty bolt of lightning struck, he happened to prop up a layer of energy shield.As if the real sharp lightning struck the eggshell-like shield, it immediately shattered, and countless electric arcs spread out like spider webs on the seemingly thin but actually indestructible energy layer, crackling.

"Good job, mage!" Master Jinyue yelled fiercely, and his whole body turned into a stream-like image, rushing into the darkness in the direction of the lightning strike.

And Aziz also made a move afterwards, and a round of shining artificial light balls rose in midair.It spun and shot out streaks of golden light, immediately dispelling the darkness.

"It's just a mere dark technique, and you actually want to use this little trick to hide your figure?"

The darkness dissipated, and the enemy finally revealed his true colors.

An old and arrogant voice sounded: "Young man, spells are not powerful, but applicable. Today, I will personally teach you, a real mage, how to use spells. Of course, the tuition fee is your life."

Gordon had already seen clearly that the speaker was the dead master he had met in the Adventurer's Guild in Symmetry City.And walking with him is naturally the Northengard adventure team headed by Storm Lord Zebella. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
