Witch, don't be so lazy

After learning about the Shadow Protection, the old man was just envious and jealous, and kept muttering for a long time.

However, she really didn't expect that the two people in front of her could call out Hans's name at once, and even mentioned a surname that she had never heard of.

"Well, Sister Momo, do you know Hans...Grandpa? Is he famous?"

An Ke couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"One-sided acquaintance~"

Momo blinked. "I heard adults mention Lord Hans when I was little in Black Rock City. When I arrived in the capital, Pendegar, his name and deeds were somewhat taboo, so no one usually mentioned them, as it would easily cause trouble. However, I was able to learn some information from teachers in some courses at High Tower Academy."

"Can you tell me more about that?"

An Ke asked.

"Well, when we were little, it was Momo who heard from Amo that there was a very powerful spellcaster living in seclusion in the south of the Northern Territory. If it weren't for some incidents that happened back then, the Tower Council would have had another seat. But apart from the name and this sentence, Amo never said anything else."

Momo tilted her head and recalled, "Well, in Pandegar, everyone was very secretive about Sir Hans' affairs. It seemed that it was related to the Sixth and Seventh Seats. But in the Tower Academy, for example, in the Purgatory General Studies class, the teacher mentioned Sir Hans's glorious deeds--"

"Since the fall of the Old Empire, Mephistopheles' Labyrinth has been opened a total of forty-nine times. Each time, countless beings of all ranks were thrown into the maze, forged with blood and fire to forge messengers of Purgatory. However, only four have been successful to date. Two of them are now demon lords of the Abyss or Dark Purgatory. One is said to be the current war priest of the Tusk Empire, and the other is Lord Hans."

"Compared to the other three, it's rumored that Sir Hans is of the lowest birth and has the least talent. Yet, he's the only victor of the labyrinth who escaped the control of the great devil Mephistopheles. Even Tusk's war priest is said to have only maintained balance with the power of the Beast God."

"I even heard from my teacher that, before escaping the Dark Purgatory, Mr. Hans received assistance from the Sixth and Seventh Seats, and then caused several major incidents that shook the Abyss. Even after escaping to the living world, he was still hunted by the demons. It is said that his failure to ascend to Legendary status was probably related to the Demon God Lightless Shadow."

"But I don't understand the finer details, including events from over twenty years ago. I only know that many people died in Pendergar, Lord Hans left the tower, and the Sixth Seat hasn't appeared in years."

Momo opened her eyes wide, "Hasn't Xiao Anke heard of this?"

"...No, Grandpa Hans always used some old story to explain it away."

Anke shook his head.

She recalled the joke she had made with the old man before, asking him if he was a reclusive legend. Hans rolled his eyes, denied it and laughed at her. But now it seems that Lao Deng is indeed not a legend, but his life is indeed quite legendary.

It's a shame I don't know what he's doing in Xueshan Town. Is he recuperating? Can he survive if he fails his Legendary advancement? Clearly, failing a low-level patrol carries a severe backlash, leaving him in grave danger. And then there's the events of the past, and the Dark Purgatory. I'm quite curious...

It was not until he heard Xiao Hui's words that An Ke finally came to his senses.

"Since it was Mr. Hans who covered up the situation for Miss Anke, then it's most likely that the cultists' rituals caused the spell's power to dissipate. Otherwise, there's no way to explain the source of the Fiery Sun Spirit."

It smiled and said, "Even if a sacrifice is held at the Well of Silence, they will mostly only obtain Death Spirits, and occasionally Shadow Spirits. Of course, this only requires a high-level ritual, and this one isn't qualified right now."

The Well of Silence is almost entirely filled with necromancers, so giving Lieyang spirituality is completely useless and may even have side effects.

Moreover, the demons in the abyss will hardly respond to such a low-standard ceremony. Even if they are willing, they will probably just give some blessings to fool people. It is impossible for them to give such pure spirituality.

He is just an ordinary member of the Well of Silence. How could he be qualified to perform a sacrifice on a whim? If it were the third-level apostle named Bro, there would still be some hope.

They were probably bewitched by some evil spirits wandering in the gap between the physical world and the spiritual world, and their brains went crazy. No wonder they all died. Those cultists might have been the food targeted by the evil spirits from the very beginning.

As for Miss Anke, Momo had just seen her and she was not possessed by an evil spirit. She must have been lucky enough to escape in time, or it was Mr. Hans' "Shadow Weaving" that protected her.

Xiao Hui glanced at Anke, twitched his lips, and then patted his contractor with his tail.

"what?"

"Momo, if you keep holding Miss Anke, she will feel uncomfortable."

"Will it? I loved being lifted up when I was little. Doesn't little An like it?"

"...Is everything okay? Aren't you tired, Sister Momo?"

An Ke tactfully answered the question of the five shirts, seven clothes and three groups.

"I'm not tired~"

"...You can put me down now. We still need to hurry back to Arstar City!"

As soon as An Ke finished speaking, she felt herself crashing into a soft embrace.

Momo's voice was heard beside her.

"Little Anke~ Did you know that in the entire North, the city of Black Rock is the best at the School of the Sun~ Look at Sutur, he's an extraordinary mage of the School of the Sun~"

Ignoring the struggle of the little Lolita in front of her, Momo began to use formulaic bewitchment.

"Black Rock City, the most prosperous city in the southern part of the North, is home to the renowned Feather Tempering Workshop, one of the three great workshops of the Golden Dawn. It boasts the largest leyline furnace in the entire territory, a city of industry and alchemy, and has long maintained in-depth cooperation with Cloud City.

The Silent Legion is powerful, gathering the best spellcasters from the Earth School and the Blazing Sun School in the North. It has a complete system for training wizards and abundant resources. They don't need to wander the sea all year round like the Raging Tide Legion, nor do they need to be stationed in a boneyard like the Unholy Bone Legion. Instead, they can be sent to the southern continent to experience different customs and cultures, and have numerous opportunities to make achievements..."

The fluent little words are obviously not thought up by Momo herself, but probably memorized in advance.

After struggling several times in vain, An Ke gave up resisting and stayed in the girl's arms motionless with dull eyes, until her little face was pinched twice.

"Momo is done, did Xiao Anke hear it~"

"Ah."

An Ke nodded obediently.

"Really? Read it again. Why is your face falling? Are you unhappy? Do you need to lift it up and make it bigger like a windmill?..."

"Momo, don't bully Miss Anke."

The kind and righteous Xiao Hui stopped the unscrupulous contractor in time, and then looked at the little girl.

"Don't worry, we'll go back to Asda City now and leave this place that left Ms. Anke with terrible memories. Then we'll have the wizards of Asda City completely destroy this stronghold..."

"Can you please not destroy it yet?"

An Ke interrupted, then faced Momo and Xiao Hui's curious gazes and said hesitantly, "Because, I, I also practice the Undead Summoning Spell. There are a lot of ready-made materials here, especially I heard there is a storage room..."

There was nothing to hide. She bought the necromancy spell from the Winter Magic Shop, and she had a very weak death spirit in her body. The other party probably knew it a long time ago.

After she finished speaking, she took the opportunity to get out of Momo's arms, left the temple, returned to the main hall, and cast a spell on the dead souls.

As the magic power and negative energy surged, the spell failed for a long time.

It's not that An Ke did it on purpose, it's just that her skills are limited, and there is too little negative energy left here, there are almost no wandering soul light spots in the area, and the coverage area of ​​her spell is only this small circle, so she really can't summon it.

"...Actually, I do have some talent in the School of Necromancy. This, this is just an accident... I have a good opportunity right now. With more practice, I'm sure I'll improve..."

An Ke said weakly.

"No problem, it's a small matter. However, um, we may need to clean out some inappropriate tomes and highly contaminated items first. The necromancers of the Well of Silence are different from those in the City of Bones. They are too cruel and insane. Some of their methods... well, it's not that you can't look at them, but it's best for beginners not to touch them."

Xiao Hui pondered for a moment before speaking, "Although, according to my personal opinion, it's best for Miss Anke to sell the things here, but if you're interested, you can try practicing. The spoils will be divided... 30% to 70%. Let Miss Anke choose first."

It glanced at Momo, who said it didn't matter and that cleaning up those out-of-control undead was just a piece of cake.

She also looked down on the things in those strongholds, and in the end she would mostly hand them over to the people in Asda City to deal with, and then take a few thousand gold coins as pocket money.

Anko was also very happy.

She could then practice necromancy openly. In addition, she actually kept a considerable number of spell books and Silver Fang's collections and buried them in a hidden corner in the mountains.

After all, she was afraid that others would think she was not qualified to share the things inside, so she hid some of them on purpose. But now it seems that Momo is still very powerful.

Furthermore, Xiao Hui's words had reminded her that the tome in the Well of Silence might contain illicit material, so she had to be extremely careful. If she felt it wasn't suitable for her, she could simply sell it to the Northern authorities for money. She could just make up a story, like accidentally digging it up near the base, or overhearing the cultists' conversation while being kidnapped...

Before Anke could finish her fantasy, she felt her body lighten again.

Momo picked her up again.

"Xiao An, you have to focus more on the magic exam. It's quite important. If you perform well enough, you can get a credit before you even start school."

"Just play around with the School of Necromancy. The main focus is the School of the Sun. Otherwise, your strong elemental affinity would be wasted. Is that why Sir Hans stopped coaching you?"

"Although I taught you the Invisibility Spell and its subsequent advancements before, I didn't expect that after touring the spirit world, you would gain affinity with fire. In the end, I can only express my regret."

...No, I still have the Shadow Protection. It was me who rejected the old man's request to transfer to another school.

An Ke muttered to herself.

After successfully getting away with it, it seems that it is now Momo's turn to encourage her to change schools.

She definitely couldn't change her path, as she had always been determined to stay on the path of omniscience. However, judging from what Sister Momo said, maybe she could get some spells and insights about the Lieyang School from her.

Now that she has the blessing of the Lord of Dark Sun, she must seriously explore some distinctive spells. At the very least, she must practice Holy Flame Summoning. She can't always rely on charity. Oh, there are also spells from the Frost School. She has time to work on Hailstorm now.

Of course, these things have to be done after the crisis in Asda City is resolved.

"Sister Momo, I understand. Can you please put me down?"

Encore kept shaking her short legs.

"Hmm? Sure."

Momo let go of her hand and gently put the little girl back on the ground. Then she tilted her head and asked, "Does Xiao An have to walk back to the City Lord's Mansion by herself?"

"..."

There was a long silence.

An Ke said without hesitation: "Sister Momo, hug me!"

really.

The law of true fragrance is always inevitable.

After returning to Asda City and meeting with the Lord of Kunda again, we will officially begin to deal with the Well of Silence and the Cult of Disaster.

Five thousand five.

Osmanthus Cake moved two days ago and has settled down now. I should be able to update normally every day in the future.

Chapter 123 New Method

The moon hangs in the sky and the night is deep.

The tall tower of Asda City stood tall, with a giant stone sword at the top of the tower inserted into the base, and a ferocious dragon crawling below, with its long black python-like tail coiled around the stone wall.

This iconic building is the first thing anyone sees when arriving in the city.

Encore is no exception.

She also thought about the elements inside - the tower, which might be a tribute to the high tower in the north, highlighting the status of the city lord's mansion and monitoring the surrounding environment; the giant sword, which is undoubtedly the symbol of Sutur Asda, the hero who pioneered the south; the dragon crawling under the sword, representing the fallen rock dragon, and it may also be the Asda family's beautiful hope of taming the evil dragon bloodline.

However, Anke had not yet learned the truth about the Asda family. Now, she has new ideas.

Especially under the guidance of the metal spider, he walked into the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, and then took the mechanical ladder all the way to the underground, where he was able to see the extremely shocking scene.

The sleeping skeleton dragon.

Its body is very large. Even if its bone wings are not spread out, it feels nearly 30 meters long to the naked eye. Anke is currently very small, not even half the height of the dragon's nails.

This is the skeleton of a fourth-level adult dragon, much larger than the second-level steel dragon that appeared in the previous capital exchange competition.

Those metal chains were also terrifyingly large, almost as big as the pillars of the Adventurer's Guild, and were engraved with profound ancient spells. The ends were inserted into the ground, and combined with spells, they mobilized the endless magical power of the earth veins, forming a powerful and terrifying domain.

at the same time.

Above the giant skeleton dragon, a heavy, red sword hung upside down. The terrifying high temperature distorted the air.

Surtur in soul form.

It seemed to be vibrating all the time, and every time it shook, a thunderous sound burst out around it. It was not a sound heard by the ears, but an invisible wave that directly hit the consciousness.

An Ke stared at the scene in front of him in silence.

The first thing that came to her mind was the "Sword of Damocles" from her previous life, and the second thing that came to her mind was the statue on the top of the tower.

The two are almost the same in composition, except that the giant sword underground is still suspended in the air. Once it falls, it will be almost like a statue.

This is obviously no coincidence.

If you use the Eye of Judgment, you can see more things.

For example, the magic circles and chains on the ground are full of ochre light, which is a large amount of magic power and earth spirituality, and black mist is constantly rising from the body of the skeleton dragon, which is the dissipated negative energy and death spirit.

Looking up, the giant sword that Sutur transformed into was naturally a red flame spirit, but what was surprising was that there were a large number of... roundworms on his soul, well, you could call them earthworms, anyway, from a distance they looked like twisted strips of meat.

Their crawling and moving around would leave traces of rust on the giant sword, and the so-called thunderous vibration was actually the giant sword shining and burning the nematodes with flames.

It was a big move, but had little effect.

The strange insects are almost endless. Even if they disappear for a while, they will reappear in the giant sword a moment later. It is better to say that they are one and the same rather than parasitic.

In addition to the giant sword and nematodes, if one's observation ability is strong enough, one can also see some faint black spots, like mold spots.

An Ke pursed her lips.

The disgusting strange insects were most likely the contamination of the Chaos Evil Dragon. As for the black mist and moldy spots that enveloped the Skeleton Dragon, they were obviously the erosion of the Well of Silence.
