Restarting the myth

Time goes back to the late night.

The black car stopped in front of a villa. The man in charge of keeping watch entered the villa and met his teacher Joey Dobbin.

"Why are you the only one back? Where are they?"

"They have been infiltrating for a long time and haven't come back. The address is... I am afraid that things have changed, so I came back to report to you first."

"Are you not being followed?"

"No, I went around several blocks and was very sure that there was no one behind me, and no owl following me."

"That's good, you go out of town and hide for a few days. Don't contact me without my instructions."

The black car left and drove directly out of the city of Lundan.

Joey waited at home for a few hours until it was light and confirmed that his three students would not come back, then he picked up the phone and called.

"Teacher, the plan failed, and we didn't catch him."

"Why did it fail? How did you do it?"

On the other side of the phone, Sidney scolded: "How many times have I told you not to underestimate the enemy just because he is an apprentice? Magicians are not invincible. Guns and bullets can take our lives at any time."

"Teacher, you misunderstood. I did not underestimate the enemy. On the contrary, I sent four of the best students..."

Seeing Sidney angry, Joey hurriedly explained: "Only one of the four students who was out for a walk came back. The remaining three had no news all night. The target was just a magician apprentice. He had no ability to resist. I suspect someone was helping him."

"Tell me, where did your student disappear?"

"The address is No. 13, Long Street, West Manor."

"The people living there are not ordinary people. Why didn't you tell me before the operation?" Sidney said unhappily.

"Teacher, I just found out..."

"Okay, you go out of town and hide for a few days. Don't contact me without my order."

"I'm very sorry to disappoint you."

Joey respectfully waited for Sidney to hang up the phone first, then packed his luggage, took a few changes of clothes, and prepared to go back to his hometown in the countryside to hide for a few days.

The vehicle drove out of the city of Lundan and was stopped by two police cars. Joey was confused when he was given a pair of silver bracelets by the police.

"Damn, do you know who I am? How dare you do this!"

Joey was furious. After all, he was also a silver mage. He really thought he could control him at will.

"Joey Dobbin, we know you are a disciple of the Church of Nature, and we also know you are a magician. You have the right to remain silent. Believe me, if you dare to resist, the next batch of arresters will not be as easy to talk to as we are."

Joey was silent. Obviously, the police who arrested him were not ordinary people.

He didn't know what happened, and even suspected that Sidney betrayed him. In order to protect himself, the teacher threw him out as a scapegoat.

————

"Waste!"

On the other side, Sidney hung up the phone and sentenced his student to a professional death sentence.

If he can't do even a little thing well, how can he work for him in the future? Such an incompetent student is better off not having him.

The bad thing is that Joey is already one of his most reliable students, and the others are even worse and more evenly rotten.

Sidney didn't know that his student had been targeted, so he called his old friend to check the address of 'No. 13 Long Street, West Manor' to see where the owner came from.

The result was not very good. This big house belonged to the Landau family.

Bang!

Sidney slammed the table and stood up, his face gloomy and terrible. The Landau family is one of the fourteen tulip families in the Kingdom of Windsor, and one of the knight swords that the royal family relies on the most.

Others don't know, but he knows that the fourteen tulip families have established a famous organization in Windsor - the Free Mage Alliance.

The Free Mage Alliance also affects the entire magic world of Windsor. It seems low-key and any church can step on it. In fact, it is not obvious. What floats on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg.

His people rushed into the Landau family to rob people, and the consequences can be imagined.

Auston Landau: Your Majesty, Sidney dared to rush into my house to rob people today, and he will dare to rush into the palace to rob you tomorrow. He is so cruel that he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!

It is not only the Landau family that is terrible, but also the mistress of the Landau family. Sif Landau is the current high priest of the Windsor Division.

Sidney knows that he is regarded as a thorn in the eye by Sif. The other party wants to uproot his power in Lendan, but he has given up for the time being because of his limited strength.

He has been staying at home these days so as not to give the other party a handle.

He never expected that he would take the initiative to hand over the handle to the other party just by catching a magician apprentice.

Who is this magician apprentice? Why is he so wild? Is his name Wayne Landau?

Sidney was furious. He had been patient for many days but failed. Tracing back to the source, it was all the fault of the Lord of the Void. If it weren't for the last time, he would not have fallen into such a passive situation.

Sidney hurried to the study, opened the secret door and entered the black void. His mind and will impacted and slammed into the golden statue.

Wake up, old man, don't sleep.

The golden statue dispersed a wisp of mind and will, and the voice of the Lord of the Void came out: "Sidney, my beloved apprentice, did you bring the person?"

"Who, the magician apprentice named Wayne!!"

Sidney gritted his teeth and said: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused me? He is an ordinary person, but he has someone behind him. I may be targeted because of this matter."

"Who can make a golden wizard lose his composure like this? My student, you underestimate yourself too much."

The Lord of the Void didn't care: "You are bound by false power and honor. Only by breaking free of this shackle can you see your complete self. This may be an opportunity to promote you to the road of legend..."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense in front of me, you are crazy, I am not."

Sidney said angrily: "I can't help you, you go find someone else, don't come to me in the future."

"Hehe, my student, it seems that you are really angry. Tell me, who is behind Wayne, what kind of umbrella has he found?"

"Tulip Family!"

"Tulip..."

The Lord of the Void muttered to himself, mumbling for a long time, and then said: "What a familiar name, I seem to have heard it somewhere."

Sidney was almost angry to death. He knew that this old madman was unreliable. The legendary wizard who became famous in Windsor forgot the Tulip Family. Why can't he forget his student!

What is worth remembering? Can't you change it!

"Forget it. A name that cannot remain in my memory must not be worth remembering."

The Lord of the Void changed the subject and said coldly: "Sidney, bring Wayne to see me, immediately, now, I don't want to wait any longer."

"Marshall, is this your attitude when asking people to do things for you?!" Sidney's tone was also cold.

"This is an order!"

The statue glowed, projecting the will of the Lord of the Void.

A little bit of white flesh foam was born out of thin air, with dots connecting lines and lines connecting surfaces, and the dark void became a breeding ground for white foam.

The tentacles and veins wandered all over the ground, the white translucent skin secreted mucus, and the inside was intertwined with blood vessel-like flowing lines. Every piece of disgusting rotten meat was filled with extremely evil vitality.

The dark void was filled with white flesh foam, surrounding Sidney from all directions, blocking the exit in a very short time, blocking Sidney's retreat.

Sidney's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he did not make any movement. The golden triangle pattern spread out under his feet, and the life barrier rose from the ground, blocking the attacking white foam tentacles and protecting his own thinking from erosion.

"Sidney, my best student..." xn

The white foam tentacles pressed against the life barrier, twisted and squirmed, and opened a big mouth like the abyss. Every time it opened and closed, the sharp teeth on the inner wall of the mouth would flash cold light, rubbing against the life barrier and making a squeak.

Dozens of voices sounded in succession, and the biting cold wind from the extreme north whizzed across the border, pulling Sidney's thinking and disrupting his reason.

Sidney's eyes were dark, and his face was extremely ugly. If it was just the truth from the void, he could barely block it with the life barrier. As long as he did not step into the door of truth, the Lord of the Void would never be able to shake his thinking and faith.

Sidney used to think so, but now he found that the Lord of the Void had already made a move on him, maybe before he went crazy, or maybe it was those transactions.

In short, his mind is controlled by the Lord of the Void, who can drag his mind into the void universe at any time, or freeze his mind and wither.

"Damn it, what have you done to me?"

"Guide you to learn the real magic of life, my student, this is what a teacher should do."

The mouth of the abyss is sometimes closed and sometimes opened, and a series of continuous noises drilled into Sidney's ears, making him feel dead and shed tears of regret.

If he is given another chance, he will never trade with the old madman.

"Look at your tears of joy, my student, hurry up and bring Wayne to me, otherwise..."

Sidney had an illusion in front of him, a white tentacle drilled through the life barrier, brushed across his face and raised tears: "You love vanity, you desire worldly power, and you don't want to lose all this, right?"

At the end of the words, the dark world in front of Sidney opened a big white mouth, with white teeth comparable to mountains, exuding a suffocating stench, and swallowed him in one bite. !

Sidney suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and found himself standing in the black void.

There was no terrifying white flesh, no life barrier that was constantly being gnawed, nothing, even the golden statue disappeared.

"Is it an illusion?"

Looking at the empty black void, Sidney felt cold all over. He quickly returned to the study and personally wiped out the secret room built by his mind.

The Lord of the Void seemed to have left, but Sidney could still hear his whispers in his ears, go find Wayne, and immediately, now, offer him to the teacher.

Sidney shook his head to dispel the voice. He picked up the mirror on the desk and reflected a bloodless face.

Deep in the pupils, it seemed that something was wriggling and was about to drill out of the eyes.

Sidney threw the mirror away, cold sweat soaked his body, stood up and went to the mental hospital for psychological counseling.

The moment he stood up, he froze in place. If he went there now, with the brutal treatment methods of the dean, the Lord of the Void might be fine, but he would definitely be cured to death.

"Can't go to the mental hospital, can't let others know..."

Sidney screamed and opened the drawer, rummaging frantically until he put on a pair of sunglasses on his face, and then his emotions calmed down.

He trembled and opened the cap of the red wine bottle, gulped down a big mouthful, the red wine flowed down his beard, and made a hoarse voice like a curse: "Wayne, don't blame me, I still have a long way to go, the church needs me. You are different, you are targeted by the old madman, even if I am not there, there will be other magicians to find you..."

————

It was night.

Healy left the house at noon. Her physique was so strong that it was unbelievable. She didn't sleep for several days and nights. She fell asleep for four hours and returned to the office full of energy to work.

After waking up, Healy showed Wayne a gluttonous way of eating that was not inferior to Isabella. The difference was that Healy would not gain weight no matter how much she ate.

Wayne finally understood why others could sit in the office while he could only sleep in the basement.

Also, it was not the teacher's husband's incompetence. When faced with such a physical monster, no matter how beautiful the vows of love were, they would not last long.

Before leaving, Healy assured Wayne that she had cast a barrier around the house and no one would disturb Wayne tonight.

If there was, she asked Wayne to go into the sewer immediately and run as far as he could.

Seeing Sphy leaving angrily, Wayne could guess what would happen to Joey Dobbin. Are you stupid? I have long legs to hug, but you dare to catch the student of your boss. You will have a hard time today.

Wayne didn't understand why he offended Joey. It was the first time he heard this name. After thinking about it, he could only think that Sphy was exposed, and the political struggle within the church implicated him.

The specific situation still needs to wait for the teacher's investigation results. Wayne was happy to be quiet, lying in the air-raid shelter and watching his fellow villagers with tears in their eyes.

It was about midnight, and Wayne suddenly noticed something strange. The supernatural sense frantically warned that a source of danger was approaching at a very fast speed.

It was so close that it was at the door of the basement.

Thinking of Sphy's warning, Wayne complained bitterly. It turned out that the magic world was also popular to beat the young and the old, and threw down the book and ran straight to the sewer.

This time he didn't wait, he plunged into the sewer, and ran for seven or eight kilometers without looking back. The warning of supernatural sense was intermittent. Whenever he stopped, the warning sounded, and whenever he ran, the warning sound stopped.

After another ten kilometers, Wayne couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't get rid of the pursuer even if he got lost. It was obvious that the other party knew his whereabouts very well.

No more running.

Start!

Can't run away, only draw the sword!

"Not running anymore?"

Footsteps came from the corner of the sewer. Sidney looked at Wayne and said lightly: "I have to say that you have been able to evade pursuit many times, which is indeed a good performance. At least your intuition is very accurate. Unfortunately, you are too weak, and this is the biggest mistake you made."

"Who are you?"

Wayne didn't waste words. Wearing sunglasses in the sewer at night, he looked like a villain.

Taking advantage of the gap between talking, more than ten meters away, raised his hand and shot.

Bang!

The bullet hit Sidney's chest... In front of him, it was blocked by the flashing life barrier. He raised his hand to catch the hot bullet: "It doesn't matter who I am. The key is to find your man. He calls himself the Lord of the Void and asked me to take you to meet him."

Wayne's heart skipped a beat. The transport captain came to the door.

"The gun in your hand is useless to me. Give up resistance and don't make it difficult for me."

"..."

Wayne didn't say anything. Yes, the gun in his hand might not be able to do anything to the other party, but the sword under his crotch might not be.

Wayne narrowed his eyes and was about to transform into a dead knight on the spot.

At this moment, a voice full of regret came from behind him.

"Sidney, you have finally come to this step."

There are still masters!

Wayne turned around and saw that the person who came was an unkempt old man with a white beard, sloppy appearance, and greasy.

Especially the white beard, which was covered with patina.
