Judging from the information they obtained before, although the image and temperament of people who enter this world will change, gender does not seem to be included.Therefore, no matter who the female wizard appeared in front of them, it should not be their primary target.
"You are late, Miss Sinister. Jerome has gathered enough people. You don't know it yet, because you have probably been hiding in this forest before."
The female wizard smiled awkwardly with a stiff expression.
-
Hyde secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least he had passed out after the first step, and the other party did not directly attack him.
He continued to endure the awkwardness all over his body, maintaining the confusion spell and false appearance.
To be honest, even now, Hyde still has a strong resistance to pretending to be the opposite sex, but this resistance is far less strong than that night.Is this kind of thing really like the puppet said, there are only zero and countless times?
He couldn't help but spit to dispel this absurd idea.This is just the best choice as a last resort, so this is definitely the last time.
In the current situation, it is definitely not possible to kill them or rush in. As the main ability of "Sigh of the Neglected" as a stealth magic, it is to reduce one's own presence, but this has certain limitations after all.
When an unknown number of guards surrounded the forest, even if he rushed out with the invisibility magic, it was impossible for the opponent to ignore such an obvious abnormality. It was no longer possible to fool the past by reducing the sense of presence.
What's more, there are also senior wizards among the participants of this ceremony, and Hyde may not be able to remain invisible in front of them with his current magic strength.
It is much more convenient to use the confusion spell under such circumstances, and he can even try to become a member of the opposing force.
Before he went to the land of Nod, he hadn't mastered the confusion spell. At that time, Hyde believed that the amount of magic he mastered didn't represent everything. Instead of learning some messy things, it's better to put limited experience in a place that is more worthy of study.
But at the moment when the magic power is severely damaged, continuing to delve into high-level magic will require far more risks for him than in the past, and even if he gains something, he has no ability to experiment.
Under Shadow's suggestion, Hyde began to learn more things that he hadn't even glanced at before, including confusion spells and some not-so-advanced physical skills.
"What happened to the reward you just mentioned? What did Jerome Belusay ask you to do here? Why did you say that I missed the time? Did you discuss it before entering this world?"
Hyde tried to speak, but under the influence of the confusion spell, his voice turned into a slightly neutral female voice, which made the young man feel his scalp numb.
But the desire for knowledge and the need to obtain the necessary information temporarily overwhelmed this sense of repulsion, and Hyde wanted to know when the other party reached a consensus anyway.
Even he himself didn't get too much information before the ceremony started. Could it be that the combined forces of the other party can completely suppress the family and the Patriarch in the manor, and prepare a strategy to deal with him in advance?
The other two people looked at each other. They were already bored in this place. In other words, as the party with the advantage in strength, they also enjoyed this condescending calmness.
"I didn't make specific discussions before entering. During the initial period of entering this weird world, everything was very chaotic."
"Many wizards fought on the plains and shot magic at each other. At least some of them died in less than 10 minutes. The same scruples in the material world. It's just a fluke that people like you and us can survive."
The young wizard named Norton paused, then said,
"At this time, Jerome Beluse stood up. His magical power was quite powerful, and he was able to take the upper hand even when faced with the siege of more than a dozen wizards. He used an illumination spell to light up his location. , and then used amplification magic to spread his voice to everyone’s ears.”
"This guy revealed his identity and persuaded us to temporarily stop. He agreed to make a magic oath and promised us and the family equal benefits, let us help him as supporters against Hyde Belusay and other threats to his people."
At this time, another young man named Evans laughed at himself, and then said,
"It is impossible for a weak branch family and wizard like us to become the head of the family. From the very beginning, participating in this ceremony is just to get a little benefit. Is this the same for you?"
"Of course, even if you sit in the position of Patriarch, it will be difficult for you to last long. Your own strength and the forces behind you are not enough to maintain this position. At most, you will be controlled by other powerful family forces as puppets."
Evans chuckled disdainfully.
"That's harsh, Miss, but you're right, so Jerome's proposal is very attractive, isn't it."
"Many people agreed to this proposal. Although some people inside spoke out too quickly, probably they were originally from Jerome or had received benefits outside. But who cares at this time? Well, every independent family member or small branch will support him becoming our king, even if there are some objections, we will quickly kill them together."
If this is the case, then Hyde can probably understand it, and has to admit that Jerome is indeed a very powerful guy.And as the two wizards had discussed earlier, it was impossible for him to replicate this practice.
Thinking of this, Hyde put on a bright smile on his face.
"Since I'm not the one you're waiting for, how about letting me go? Or maybe I can go talk to Jerome and join you?"
Chapter 69 Old style?
His proposal made the other two look at each other, and then both laughed mockingly.
"Didn't we just say that you are late!"
"In addition to asking us to find Hyde Belusay for him, Jerome also asked us to guard the periphery of the light curtain and prevent other ceremony participants from passing through."
Hyde pretended to be a little scared. If Norton and Evans took out a mirror now, he would definitely be spit out by the timid and pitiful woman.
Even so, the look clearly pleased the other two.
"But having said that - after all, the forest is so big, it's impossible even for us not to miss all the details."
This is an obvious lie, the world created by this illusion is only a few tens of kilometers in radius.According to what they said, Jerome had at least [-] wizards under his command, so he only needed to send ten people to garrison the forest, and each of them would set up one or two familiars or guard the only way they had to pass.
The wizards here are all elites in the outside world, not to mention the wizards of the Belusay family are famous for being good at spiritual and auxiliary magic.Not to mention a living person, even a slightly larger bird can hardly avoid their sight.
"So as long as you are willing to pay a considerable price, we can pretend not to see you."
Hyde's eyelids twitched. So far, the actions of these people were basically within his expectations.Counting the time, the magic he planned to do behind the bushes was almost completed. If his guess was correct, his chances of winning in the first trial ceremony should have exceeded [-]%.
Although it went well, but... this kind of eyes is really disgusting, the kind of eyes that he has forgotten for a long time, mixed with strong greed.
"The corresponding price? For example, I made a magic contract here, agreeing to pay fifty pure magic crystals to buy my life after I go out?"
After noticing that there was a more disgusting deep desire in that greed, Hyde couldn't help being a little stunned and nauseated, and then he realized that he had been maintaining the Confusion Curse.
"Don't you still have any plans for me? This is a bit too much. Why don't you just spend some money to find a street girl?"
The other party didn't feel embarrassed either.
"How can ordinary people compare to wizards? Of course, this requirement is indeed too much, so I don't force it. We ask for a total of one hundred magic crystals of the highest purity. If you add one night to the magic contract, you can be a Fifty coins, a good deal, right?"
"No, I can promise a hundred magic crystals."
He suppressed his nausea and waved his hand. Hyde never thought that there were such disgusting perverts among his relatives.
In fact, this kind of thing is actually not uncommon in some rich pure-blood families. While squandering the family assets, those dandies use the wealth and magic power to stimulate their suitors. Lucien Mephisto is one of the representatives. sexual example.
People like him or Ling are in the minority.
Hyde secretly decided how to deal with these people, and asked,
"Actually, I'm a little curious. Jerome asked you to stay here. After a few more minutes, it will be difficult to escape from the shrinking aperture. You should be able to feel it. If you die here, you will probably lose part of it permanently." Spiritual strength. Even if he must occupy one of the positions, there are still nine vacancies, are you willing to let your strength be hit?"
Norton sneered disdainfully at his question.
"So you can't understand what kind of benefits Jerome will give us, it's really pitiful... Well, don't delay any longer, the attack magic we just did will definitely alarm other people. You can set up now Magic oath, when they arrive, you can only exit in this forest."
These two people were not pure fools. Hyde even felt that they had never thought of trading with him from the beginning. They were patiently answering his questions from beginning to end, as if they were simply delaying time.
The magic oath Jerome made was by no means one-sided, he was not such a stupid person.Relying only on verbal orders will inevitably lack the necessary execution. Hyde does not believe that such a Jerome Belusay will make such a simple mistake.
Most of the people present at that time would also be bound by the magic oath. The reason why Norton and Evans did not do anything was probably just waiting for the movement they made to attract other people.
They were not absolutely sure of defeating the female wizard he had simulated with the Confusion Curse here, but chose to stall for time. As for the urging now, they should have received news that support was about to arrive in some way.Want to let yourself relax your vigilance and get the upper hand through a sneak attack?
Hyde didn't panic, but sneered in his heart.
—Because he was also stalling for time.
Several auras appeared at the edge of the forest, approaching their area at extremely fast speeds, and the magic that Hyde had spent a long time preparing was finally completed at this time.
"I told you to move faster, but it's too late to say anything now."
Just when Evans sneered and pulled away from her, and the wizard who was about to rush to the forest was about to complete the encirclement, an extremely powerful mental force suddenly rose from the forest and startled countless birds!
Everyone's attention was attracted by the sudden, dazzling figure.
A blond-haired young man wearing a white feathered mask and a well-made black robe appeared above the forest. His movements were extremely fast and he approached the edge of the forest in an instant.
If someone who participated in the trip to Nod appeared here, he would be surprised. That is exactly what Hyde Belusay looked like in his heyday, the genius wizard who was once defiant, and the most eye-catching celestial being among the younger generation. Proud son!
The people who were about to complete the encirclement of the female wizard suddenly realized it, and immediately stopped caring about this insignificant little character, but launched an attack on the extremely arrogant figure in the sky.
This is the top priority of the mission, and the figure in the sky starts to recite difficult spells that make people feel chilled all over. It is as if they are about to use a powerful high-level magic, and there is no sign of decline in their bloodline. What does it look like when you get off the altar?
The black ring on the young man's index finger began to flash. The two wizards closest to him immediately lost all reaction and were engulfed by the explosion caused by the two fireballs without any precautions.
And the crimson light curtain also became closer, turning most of the forest into a pitch-black nothingness.
Chapter 70 Exit
"You mean that Hyde has left?"
A man wearing a metal mask was sitting in a dilapidated house. Although he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, the news seemed to surprise him.
This is the ruins of a city in the desert, and it is also the center of the illusory world.From the top of this building, which is relatively intact compared to other buildings, one can vaguely see the dark red light curtain slowly approaching in all directions.
Judging from the speed, in about an hour, the light that is enough to eliminate everything in this world will converge on the desert where the ruins of the city are located.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
The man was sitting at a window that no longer had glass and was calculating the speed change of the light curtain, but this news made him unable to keep calm any longer.
Facing his continuous questioning, another travel-savvy wizard in a hood replied:
"Your Excellency Jerome, we can be sure that Hyde Belusay has left the field. The siege network we set up in the forest area was attacked by surprise. It may be that he had to confront us in order to avoid the constriction of the light curtain. Everything is in danger. As you can imagine."
"And I saw him with my own eyes."
The man named Jerome had completely calmed down. He stared at the wizard in front of him with a pair of cold eyes behind his mask.
"How can you be sure that's Hyde?"
"I saw him once in a family meeting in the past. The enemy who appeared in the forest was exactly what he looked like in his prime before his bloodline was damaged."
The wizard's answer made Jerome wave his hand.
"This doesn't explain anything. Our current appearance has no direct connection with the outside world. Others can also use magic such as confusion spells to change into his appearance... What else is there? "
The other party also agreed with this opinion and continued to explain,
"Of course I understand that besides appearance, there is also magical power that cannot be faked—that person was not at a disadvantage in the face of our encirclement of more than 15 people. He used a very powerful magic to cause eight wizards to retreat."
"In the end, only me and the other three were able to come back here... Honestly speaking, is that person's bloodline really damaged? He can still use the shadows, I have never been in the material The world has seen other people use such terrible magic that I felt as small as an ant when I faced him."
"If it wasn't for the light curtain being very close, all 15 of us might have been killed by him alone. In the end, we just sacrificed three companions and teamed up with two alchemy props to barely hold him back, letting the man fall into the range of the light curtain It's just been dissolved."
"There's no doubting that his lineage is compromised."
Jerome nodded, accepting the new explanation.
