The Wizarding Age

The city of Skanderey under the night has lost the bustle and noise of the past as the capital.

Except for the scattered lights in the upper city and the vicinity of the palace, the rest of the city has fallen into deep darkness.

After nightfall, it began to drizzle in the city.

As a result, there were even fewer people on the dilapidated streets. The displaced residents huddled in the shabby houses, relying on the half roof that had not collapsed to barely stay.

This is the 11th day that the city of Skanderey has been hit by the "dragon attack".

In the beginning, the dragons only targeted the wealthy and powerful in the upper city, and rarely harassed the lower city and civilian areas. But after the dragons robbed those high-value targets, they finally set their sights on the civilians who accounted for 60% of the city's population.

In the first few days of the looting, all the dragons that flew over were adult dragons. With their powerful individual strength, they completely crushed the guards of the merchant houses and the guards of the dignitaries, and smashed warehouses and cellars filled with supplies and treasures one after another.

Although the city of Skandre had the most powerful ground weapons in the Knight Continent, the weak Edward VII issued a strict order to dispatch all high-level knights to garrison near the palace, strictly prohibiting them from conflicting with the dragons.

As a result, without the protection of the kingdom's military power, the city of Skandre simply became a dragon hunting ground, with dragons flying thousands of miles to take whatever they wanted every day.

Moreover, as more and more cities needed to be invaded by dragons, the adult dragons in Dragon Valley were gradually insufficient. Even some young dragons that were about to grow up were sent out to practice basic hunting and predation skills behind the adult dragons every day, sharpening their claws.

Under such harsh destruction, the city of Skandre is like a seriously ill patient, struggling on the edge of life and death every day, waiting to take his last breath.

Grimm was wrapped in a thick black traveler's cloak, like a midnight evil spirit walking in the dark, following behind Ye Zi and Blade, silently shuttling through the dark alleys of the lower city.

Ye Zi was the thin boy who brought him to the Prophet Mars last time, no, girl! I'm sorry, because of severe malnutrition in childhood, the 14-year-old girl Ye Zi was thin and almost unable to see any gender characteristics from her appearance. After she was found by the Prophet Mars, her awakened talent was somewhat similar to the mind control of the curse wizard.

Due to the lack of systematic training and the rational use of resources, after Ye Zi's talent awakened, she could not find a spellcaster who could give her guidance. This also led to her having almost no other spells to learn except for a few innate spells.

So after carefully examining her body, Grimm had to shake his head and sigh. This little girl, who originally had an innate talent for spellcasting, only had a strong mental power of the quasi-witch level, but her basic physical attribute parameters were even worse than some ordinary people.

As for the other 13-year-old boy Blade, he was basically similar to her.

Blade had an extremely special affinity for metals and could naturally control some metal weapons. He also had the strength of a quasi-witch, but he had almost no spells, and his physical fitness was terrible.

As street beggars who were once worse than pigs and dogs, they had no relatives and no formal names. Even the names they were called now were given by the prophet Mas after he took them in.

However, although their strength was very poor, their familiarity and understanding of the city of Skandre was beyond the reach of outsiders. And what Grimm needed was exactly the local snakes like them!

In the dark, they turned through countless alleys and even climbed over two or three abandoned houses. Soon, a three-story tower building appeared in front of them.

They wanted to sneak from the lower city to the upper city, and they had to pass through this kind of tower building.

Looking from a distance, in a small arched doorway, under the dim torch, three city guards were gathered together holding guns and chatting.

While Ye Zi went forward to deal with the guard, the blade approached Grimm again.

"Hey, big guy, is your world really that powerful? I heard from the old man that your wizards are powerful enough to dominate the multiverse!"

Two balls of quiet flames were burning under the shadow of Grimm's hood. He didn't reject this little guy with excessive curiosity too much. Because the age difference was not big, he felt an inexplicable closeness in his heart.

Many times he had to sigh that fortunately he was born into a wizard world where wizards were respected when he crossed over. If he unfortunately fell into a terrible area like the knight plane, I am afraid that even with the help of the chip, it would be difficult for him to stand out so quickly.

"Wizards are not as powerful as you think. In the entire multiverse, there are countless powerful races and powerful planes that can surpass wizards. You should also feel lucky that only we wizards came this time. If the calamity lords from the world of disaster came, your entire plane combined would not be enough for them to swallow in one bite!" Anyway, there was still plenty of time, so Grimm chatted with him casually.

It was not until Ye Zi waved in front that the two of them quickly walked into the doorway illuminated by the torch light.

The three city guards were wearing old standard leather armor, holding long spears in their hands, leaning against the wall in a casual manner, still maintaining a casual chat. Their eyes were wide open, but their eyes were dull and lifeless, and they did not react to the approach of Grimm and others.

Grimm saw clearly that a strange rune was slightly flashing on the forehead of each of them.

The three of them passed through the door silently, and when they were immersed in the darkness in the distance, as Ye Zi removed the rune in his hand, the three controlled city guards just woke up from their stagnation. However, the brief pause just now obviously did not affect the three people's interest in chatting, and they continued the topic just now and still chatted happily.

"It's a good ability!" Grimm praised it rarely.

Of course, the little girl was able to figure out such a peculiar way to use her talent without anyone teaching her, and she was obviously a gifted person. It's a pity that she was born in this unlucky knight plane. If she was lucky enough to be born in the wizard world, she might become a powerful wizard!

"Of course." Blade obviously had a special liking for this Ye Zi. Upon hearing this, he immediately said excitedly: "Sister Ye Zi is an indispensable and important person in our team. Apart from the old man and those mentors, her ability is already the strongest!"

"Blade, shut up!" Ye Zi, who was walking in front, turned back and whispered: "If you can't control your mouth, I will make you speechless all night!"

With her special ability to control thinking, perhaps only a simple psychological suggestion can make others temporarily lose the ability to speak. After all, people in this world don't have simple and practical witchcraft accessories like the mind brooch to protect the mind and thinking.

Hearing the boss's anger, the young Blade stuck out his tongue at Grimm and quickly shut up.

Mentor?

Grimm smiled faintly and tasted it silently.

Ye Zi is already a quasi-witch-level mind controller, so the mentor in Blade's mouth may only be a formal wizard-level existence. To be able to successfully advance to the official spellcaster under such cruel attacks and oppression from the demon hunters, these guys must have such amazing talents!

After passing through the doorway, they have entered the so-called upper city.

Compared with the low-rise bungalows and dilapidated wooden houses in the lower city, the entire upper city is almost all exquisite villas with gardens and lawns. The villa where their target lives is closer to the royal palace area, so it is conceivable how difficult it is to sneak there.

Grimm's terrible witchcraft ability can indeed turn this place into a sea of ​​fire with a wave of his hand, but it is difficult for him to sneak into the enemy's heartland quietly. His flame jump is indeed a good mobile witchcraft, but the sky-high flames and the sudden eruption of the flame halo are simply difficult to hide.

If he doesn't want to attract all the guards in the upper city, then it is inevitable to use the abilities of these small local snakes!

The three of them walked and stopped, and from time to time they went into the dark area to avoid the fully armed patrolling guards.

The dragon attacks for more than ten consecutive days have left the Upper City in ruins, with broken walls and collapsed houses everywhere.

This area at the junction of the Upper City and the Royal Palace District is where the most powerful and noble people in Skandre can live.

At this moment, in the second-floor building of a beautiful villa, a faint candlelight is shining through the bedroom window. This fully shows that even on such a sad rainy night, the owner of the bedroom is still awake.

Daphne gently opened the wooden window, leaned against the window frame, and silently looked at the sky under the dark night.

Only at this moment, those damn dragons will not roar and fly over, disturbing her peaceful and happy life.

The previous block was just attacked by a dragon yesterday, and Grena's house was flattened. It is said that even more than a dozen servants were killed or injured. John's house in the block on the right was also visited by the dragon, and almost all the valuables in the house were swept away.

Every day during the day, these friends had to gather together and hide in the palace, only in this way could they avoid being harmed by the dragon. And at night, they had the opportunity to return to their homes to see if their homes were still alive.

Such a depressing life is simply terrible!

When Daphne thought that her father still had to guard the harsh and noisy magic camp day and night, and could not guard her and her mother, her heart was full of resentment.
