Chapter 125 Morning arrives
Duanmuhuai didn't know what happened above, and he wasn't interested in knowing.
For Duanmu Huai, what he has to do now is to destroy the core of the other party's ritual. As for the above matters, he will leave it to Kevin and the others. After all, this country is protected by Sigma, not him. The life and death of the empire has nothing to do with him? Sigma doesn't contribute, could it be that he is addicted to robbing himself?
Not to mention, Duanmu Huai is also busy now!
Although I don’t know what happened above, shortly after that, a large group of plague monsters rushed over from the other side of the sewer, roaring and launched an attack on Duanmu Huai and others. It has to be said that for these monsters who are inherently corrupt and full of stench, the sewers are really their home ground. Apart from anything else, just seeing these monsters rushing towards them without caring about them being covered in sewer filth is enough to make people suffer from mental breakdown.
The Elf Princess fought side by side with Duanmu Huai at first, but after persisting for a few rounds, she couldn't help but choose to retreat - these things were really disgusting.
But fortunately, Duanmu Huai now doesn't need to rush up and fight these filthy monsters hand-to-hand like before.
After all, his studies at Manalia Magic Academy were not a waste of time!
"Drink!!"
Duanmu Huai raised his hand, and soon, under the influence of the gravity gloves, the underground waterway began to tremble, and then pieces of gravel roared forward, hitting the fat and thick bodies of the plague monsters like bullets, stopping them. their further actions. At the same time, he waved his left hand and released a spell card.
【Ice Image Summon】!
Biting cold air spurted out, completely freezing the underground water in front of him, and then a huge ice demon emerged from it, blocking the path of the plague monster like a city wall. Just as the ice golem blocked the plague monsters, Duanmu Huai's fingers moved slightly again. Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning shot out, passing through the ice golem and hitting directly inside the plague army. The plague monsters that were hit by the lightning also let out howls and screams of pain. However, before the plague monsters could recover, ice thorns as sharp as spears fell from the sky and penetrated directly through the bodies of these plague monsters, nailing them to the ground.
[Chain lightning strike]! Then...[Ice Spike Shooting]! Finally... [Freezing Storm]! ! !
The howling cold wind filled the entire underground waterway, and everything in its path was completely frozen. Even the water flowing in the waterway turned into solid ice at this moment. As for the plague monsters, they were directly frozen into ice. The ice sculpture was broken, and then completely shattered.
"How could it be..."
Looking at the scene in front of her, the elf princess murmured in surprise, almost speechless.
An was still trying to absorb the magic power, while Ojis was on guard next to her. Although the elf princess also wanted to go over to check the situation, the stern doll girl refused her approach - since Duanmu Huai told her to protect An. , no one is allowed to approach, then Ogis will naturally obey the order.
So the elf princess had no choice but to divert her attention and observe Duanmuhuai's battle.
But what the elf princess didn't expect was that this man could actually use magic!
And it’s very powerful! ?
How is this possible? !
The elf princess could hardly believe her eyes. Generally speaking, when most people see Duanmu Huai's dress and appearance, their first reaction is that this person is a very fierce warrior, but they will never associate it with magic. Together. However, looking at Duanmu Huai's manipulative appearance in front of him, what he showed was no less sophisticated, calm and mature than the mage.
Moreover, the power of the magic he cast was also quite powerful. Although it was not clear, the Elf Princess could feel that Duanmu Huai should have used a very unique psychic technique. By the way... ...just like that lady.
Thinking of this, the elf princess once again looked at An, who was vigorously absorbing the magic crystal, and frowned slightly.
Many people don't know that there is a very close relationship between human magic and high elves. A long time ago, high elves came to Altdorf to teach human magic at the request of humans, and the magic academy in Altdorf was also established. . Therefore, it can be said that the magic used by humans and the magic used by high elves are the same at the basic level.
But...they are completely different.
Whether it's the girl named An or the magic used by Duanmu Huai, their way of operating psychic energy is completely different from that of the high elves, and it can be seen from their skillful skills that this is not the result of someone's whim improvement, but the result of someone's whim improvement. It is a systematic method of use.
Could it be that when did the empire have a brand new magic research system?
Thinking of this, the Elf Princess's eyes lit up.
Maybe... maybe this is an opportunity.
"Success!!!"
At this time, An's cry interrupted the elf princess's thinking. She turned her head and looked at in surprise that in front of An, the spiritual power wrapped and bound by the magic circle was gradually weakening, and it turned into A stream flowed into the magic book in An's hand. Soon, with the influx of spiritual energy, the magic book in An's hand began to turn. The originally black text on it began to gradually change into a magical mark shining with blue light. As the pages turned over, a large amount of energy was absorbed and transformed.
But what surprised the Elf Princess the most was that... the An in front of her did not show any discomfort or discomfort at all. On the contrary, she guided this power very easily and even with ease, without showing any difficulty at all.
How is this possible?
The elf princess knows very well how fragile human beings are. Ordinary people may mutate if they are close to such a concentration of spiritual energy. And now An is in the core of spiritual energy. Logically speaking, even if the spiritual energy is not out of control, her body should undergo various changes when it is eroded by spiritual energy—— The more a human mage uses psychic powers, the more he mutates and eventually turns into a monster.
However, this girl didn't care at all, so much so that the elf princess even wondered if she was a hybrid of elf and human.
But it doesn’t look like it...
At the same time, as the last touch of psychic power was absorbed by the magic book, An also breathed a long sigh of relief. He saw that the dimensional stone that was originally suspended in the air, emitting dazzling light, now looked like a piece of The gray glass fell to the ground like a stone, and then cracked with a "bang" and turned into fragments on the ground.
As the surging magic power dissipated, everything came to an end.
After repelling another attack by the plague monster, the enemy seemed to realize that the plan had failed and stopped attacking. After that, Duanmu Huai led the others out of the underground waterway again.
When a group of people emerged from the underground waterway, the sky in front of them already showed the color of dawn, and looking around, Altdorf in front of them seemed to be peaceful.
Just like that, a new day has arrived.
Duanmuhuai only heard about what happened in Altdorf on that page from General Pastor later. On the night of the banquet, several followers of the evil god tried to set fire to the city of Altdorf to cause a commotion. Fortunately, General Pastor issued martial law that night and arrested everyone who dared to step out of the house, so there was no cause for trouble. Too much damage. As for the palace, they were not so lucky. Duanmu Huai saw that the entire palace seemed to have been hit by an air raid, with holes everywhere. I heard it was the result of the battle between the emperor and his three unfilial sons. In short... ...In the end, these three unlucky guys surrendered to the law and were beheaded, paraded in the street, and then burned to death.
In this way, this troublesome matter has finally come to an end.
Of course, this is not the end for the emperor. Next, he will gather forces from all over the country and continue to prevent the northern barbarians from going south - but this has nothing to do with Duanmu Huai.
"You really just want this?"
Looking at Duanmu Huai in front of him, the emperor sitting on the throne asked, and Duanmu Huai nodded.
"Of course, we agreed, you won't deny it."
"Of course not."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then he made a gesture. Soon, several attendants came over and handed over the things in their hands - those were the remaining three A sacred object.
This is also the reward agreed upon by both parties.
"If you are willing, I can give you a fief, or even make you an earl..."
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, picked up the holy object, then looked at the emperor and shook his head.
"I still have very important things to do. Next...you have to work hard on your own, Your Majesty the Emperor."
"That's right. The empire has become like this... and I do have a lot to do."
Having said this, the emperor sighed and looked at Duanmu Huai again.
"Then, I wish you a smooth journey. No matter what, you and your battle group saved this city. If you hadn't destroyed their evil plan, I'm afraid the entire Altdorf would have been completely destroyed. I will Your deeds spread throughout the empire, letting everyone know that it was you who saved this country.”
"Thank you."
Hearing the emperor's words, Duanmu Huai nodded.
"Don't forget to mention the name of our war group."
"I know, Pink Bunny Chapter... Well, I will remember it."
Facing Duanmu Huai's request, the emperor's face froze slightly, but he nodded quickly.
"Speaking of which... you gave me the sacred object. How do you plan to choose the future successor of the empire?"
Looking at the holy object in his hand, Duanmu Huai looked at the emperor curiously. All three of his sons had rebelled against him. Who did he plan to choose as the next heir to the empire?
But for Duanmu Huai, the emperor didn't need to be too sad. After all, as an emperor, he was not the first to have his son rebel.
"I've got a whole new idea."
The emperor thought for a moment and decided to tell Duanmu Huai.
"As you can see, blood does not guarantee loyalty. My stupid children will also choose to oppose me for various reasons. If they are allowed to take charge of the empire, it will only bring trouble to this country. Come pain and disaster, so I plan to take another election System——I will make the lords of each territory in the empire electors, and after I abdicate, the next emperor will be selected from these electors, regardless of origin or status, only based on results ...Only the person with the most support can become the emperor."
"Uh..."
Hearing the emperor's answer, Duanmu Huai was speechless.
Then... I wish you good luck.
After that, Duanmuhuai said goodbye to the emperor and returned to the space station with Ogis and An.
For him, he doesn't care about the emperor's rewards or anything like that. Next, it's time for his space station to truly transform!
