Carry the Ring of Elden with you

The weapon used by the remaining night cavalry is a flail hammer. He is the night cavalry wandering on the road leading to Morn City at the junction.At this time, he raised the flail full of spikes and rotated it with the speed of the war horse. The three iron flails collided with each other and made a clanging sound in the air.At the same time, the ether inside the body of this night cavalry was running. The golden ether flashed past and immediately turned into black and purple, dyeing the three flails of the flail hammer the same color.

The first blow of the spiked flail tore through the emerald green shield arranged by Gildas, revealing the mage apprentice who was still being healed of his wounds. The Night Cavalry jumped into the carriage with the smell of blood and death.

The second time, the flail was swung down mercilessly under the horrified eyes of the mage apprentices. The flail, shining with black and purple light, hit the chest of the apprentice who had stolen the library books, and the sharp needle pierced his chest. Chest, smashed his ribs heavily, pulled out large pieces of flesh and gutted him.

The thief's blood and internal organs were scattered everywhere in the high-speed moving carriage, causing other mage apprentices who had never seen blood to be either frightened or screaming in panic.The tragic death of an acquaintance and their lack of actual combat experience did not allow them to think about resistance at all.

Of course, facing the ruthless and cold night cavalry, even if they resist, it will not have any effect.

"Fabio!" Gildas saw one of his apprentices tragically killed his opponent, and immediately shouted the name of his colleague loudly and anxiously.

Following Gildas's call, large vines suddenly appeared on both sides of the ground. Under the cover of the night, they could not be spotted unless they looked carefully.

These vines ripened by the actual spells of another legendary archmage rolled in the calf-deep weeds and nimbly entangled themselves towards the three night cavalry who were approaching the carriage in the middle of the team.

However, in the eyes of the night cavalry who specialize in night fighting, these vines hiding in the night and weeds are so clear.

"Wha—!" A night cavalry protruded from the formation, and the large sword-blade halberd in his hand quickly chopped up the vines with ease.Although his speed dropped, it created space for the two companions beside him to continue accelerating the pursuit.

The other two night cavalry did not miss this opportunity at all. They caught up with the magic carriage in the middle, which was carrying Fabio's mage apprentice. Two black and sharp sword-edged halberds were cut open at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right. In the carriage of the magic carriage, several white ether shields shattered, followed by the sound of miserable screams.

The bloody carriage was cut open, fell off on the grass, rolled irregularly backwards, and hit the carriage mount that the flail night cavalry was attacking.

The flail night cavalry had killed all the remaining mage apprentices at this time. The bodies of the apprentices were distorted into human shapes under the heavy impact of the spiked flails. He happened to get out of the package next to the apprentice who died first. Got back the stolen books.

He calmly jumped back on the horse that had been following him outside the carriage, put the books into the bag under the black cloth of the horse, and then began to chase his companions in front.

The magic carriage at the end was hit by half of the carriage that unexpectedly rolled over as the frontmost mount was hit. It was completely overturned on the grass, leaving a long mud mark and then stopped, with traces of blood soaking the ground. It is dyed dark red.

In the wild at night, many creatures are active, and the bloody smell emanating from the destroyed carriage soon attracted a wild wolf.It used its thick front paws to carefully open up the wreckage of the carriage. When the hungry wolf's green eyes saw the corpse still bleeding warm blood in the carriage, it let out an excited wolf howl to its tribe, inviting them to enjoy it. This feast fell from the sky.

On the other side, the two night cavalrymen who opened the middle carriage did not give up. Before the green emerald-like life shield protected the group of apprentices, they once again waved their swords and halberds to kill the mage apprentices accurately. Ensure that the opponent's legendary mage can no longer use strange healing magic to heal their injuries.

Fabio is one of the few archmages in the Austrian Council who loves and protects his apprentices, perhaps because he practices life magic.However, this does not mean that all mages who practice life magic are the same as Fabio. Gildas's reaction to losing his apprentice was not as strong as Fabio's.The former just felt that it would be troublesome to fill out the report after returning to the Offa Council, and did not feel heartbroken by the tragic death of these apprentices.

"Sade! Domitri! Obi-Wan!" Fabio shouted the name of his beloved disciple with great heartache. The human flesh and blood body began to gradually transform into elements under the explosion of life ether. This legendary mage He began to display his "semi-elemental" legendary skills.

The carriage that Fabio was in stopped. It was not because he actively shouted to stop, but because the weeds around the semi-elemental great magician of life grew crazily under the interference of the rich life ether, so much so that the mount pulling the magic carriage could not stop. Unable to move on.

The mount screamed in terror, and the wildly growing plants even began to wrap around its body, piercing its skin and absorbing its flesh and blood as nutrients.Soon the innocent mount was lying on its side, covered in rampaging vegetation.

Gildas, who is also a legendary life magician, and his magic carriage were naturally not affected. The magic shield emitting emerald green light at night protected the magic carriage under him from being entangled by wildly growing plants. live.

"Fabio, calm down!" Gildas shouted to his angry colleague.

Fabio's angry reply came: "You go first, Gildas. I will bury all the executioners who killed my beloved disciples here, and let them become part of the plant nutrients!!"

Gildas said to himself that he wanted to leave, but the ingredients he bought from the Golden Federation for experiments were still with Fabio, so it was hard for him to leave directly.

Moreover, he felt that it would be easy for him to kill the four dark knights opposite him when Fabio was transformed into a "half-element body", so he stopped his carriage to see the situation and cooperate with them.

On the frontal battlefield, under the bright moonlight, a huge and thick tree trunk broke out of the ground, entangled Fabio in the center, and gradually formed the appearance of a tree giant nearly 20 meters high.

"Welcome the wrath of nature." Fabio's distorted muffled voice came from a place similar to a human head. His hands that turned into tree trunks were facing each other. Countless tree trunks were like little snakes burrowing into the soil from the tree giant's arms. .

The night cavalry were still as silent as they had been since the start of the battle. They dispersed in a tacit understanding to prevent being fooled by unfamiliar spells from the opposite side.

On the ground, countless tree trunks suddenly stabbed out of the soil, stabbing at the belly of the horses of the night cavalry at high speed.

The three night cavalrymen holding swords and halberds reacted very quickly. The moment the tree trunk emerged from the soil, they clamped on the horse's back, and the horses under their crotches also jumped into the air very smartly.The night cavalry took this opportunity to use their sword-edged halberds to cut off all the tree trunks that were attacking the war horses. After the war horses landed, they were covered in black and purple mist-like ether to prevent them from being surrounded by the wildly growing plants around them, and they continued to approach the tree giants. .

The night cavalryman who caught up later and used a flail was more unfortunate.

He also reacted quickly and made the war horse jump in mid-air, but the flail could not cut down the tree trunk as easily as the sharp sword-edged halberd. After barely breaking a tree trunk, the war horse under his crotch was struck by Fabio. The tree trunk stabbed him in the abdomen, fell to the ground with a scream, and disappeared.

The night cavalry took out something from under the black cloth of the war horse before it disappeared, but before Fabio could see it clearly, the night cavalry was immediately wrapped in the crazy weeds and tree trunks around it, and then Fabio The huge foot of the tree giant controlled by Ao stepped on it.

"The first one!" Fabio's voice of revenge came from the tree giant.

However, the other three night cavalry did not pay attention to the companion who was trampled on the soles of the tree giant. They dragged their swords and halberds on the ground, and their prancing horses jumped onto the legs of the tree giant.

Fabio was just about to control the tree giant's left hand to catch these ungrateful people and crush them alive, but he suddenly felt something was wrong with the soles of the tree giant's feet that had just trampled on the night cavalry.

Then he felt a huge force coming from the soles of his feet, and the tree giant's heavy body fell backwards uncontrollably.

what happened?Fabio looked toward the soles of his feet while trying to maintain his center of gravity.

In the eyes of Gildarts, who was always ready to lead him, the night cavalryman who used the flail was not trampled to death like an ant as his colleagues thought. Instead, he was holding up the weapon he had just touched from the war horse. The shield was supported and did not fall down. Even in the night, Gildas could see the glimmer of light shining on the shield.

[Combat Skill·Iron Wall Defense]: Concentrate power on the shield, temporarily strengthening the shield's hardness to resist more powerful attacks.

Therefore, not only did this night cavalry not suffer any damage, but he used his own strength to resist the tree giant's stampede, and then directly pushed it over.

The Night Cavalry is a unit that Malkit is proud of. They are the gods of death for all warriors, knights and heroes in the border area. However, the giants imitated by magic cannot defeat them at all.

Just when Gildas held his staff and started chanting spells to help, the remaining three night cavalry began their exquisite cooperation.

They lined up in a long snake formation and ran along the legs of the fallen tree giant. The distance of more than ten meters was fleeting for their speed at this time, but for Fabio, it was a distance that counted down to death.

The sharp blade of the No. 1 Night Cavalry's halberd turned upward and stabbed upwards at a speed invisible to the naked eye on the trunk of the tree giant. Even the head of the tree giant above, which imitated a human, was cut off by it. Open it, severely slit the center of the tree giant, revealing Fabio's semi-elemental body inside.

[Combat Skill: Hunting Giants].

The cut tree trunk tried desperately to heal immediately, trying to protect Fabio's body again.

But the attack of No. 2 Night Cavalry arrives.This night cavalry did not slash with the sword-edged halberd, but turned his weapon. The biting cold came from the weapon, coating the tree trunk with a layer of frost, making its healing speed extremely slow.Then the tip of the sword-bladed halberd burst out with the magical mark of the Calian royal family, and a spear emitting ice mist shot out from the magic mark, stabbing Fabio's body wrapped in the green life ether, freezing it.

[Combat Skill: Ice Spear].

The last night cavalryman jumped up from his horse and used this power to twist his body in mid-air.Fabio only saw the black cloak on the night cavalry's armor covering his sight, and he roared to eliminate the negative impact of the ice gun.

Then the moment the black cloak disappeared from his eyes, three stabs penetrated his heart, lungs and skull, and Fabio's roar suddenly stopped.

[Combat Skill: Combo].

The tree giant had just fallen down at this time. The tree giant that lost Fabio immediately shattered on the ground and disintegrated into pieces of wood.

Gildas, who was not far away, had just finished reciting a third of the spell. Seeing this scene, he closed his mouth, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

Then he showed a horrified expression, leaving all the experimental materials behind, and immediately tore up the fixed-point teleportation scroll issued by the Arcane Council to each legendary mage, and disappeared in the light of teleportation magic.

"All other targets will be destroyed." The four night cavalry finished cleaning the battlefield and gathered together.

The leading Night Cavalry looked through the slit in his helmet at the place where Gildas disappeared and said, "Lord Malkit's order is to clear them all and leave no one behind. Let's continue chasing."

"Agree, continue the pursuit." The other three night cavalry nodded in unison.

Even if the prey targeted by the night cavalry escapes to the ends of the earth, it will bring death to the enemy.

Chapter 138: Pursued by the night cavalry

His heart was beating crazily in his chest, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Ha...ha..." Gildas' figure appeared on a teleportation platform in the hall of the Upper House of the Offa Parliament, kneeling on it and breathing heavily.

The scene of Fabio being neatly killed by the three black 'demon'-like cavalry was left in his eyes and could not be dissipated for a long time.

That was a legendary mage who opened up the semi-elemental realm, not a mage apprentice who just started learning magic!Fabio, he died like this?

Gildas grabbed the clothes on his chest, as if this could calm his pounding heart.How long has it been since you felt fear?

The mage responsible for guarding the platform immediately ran over skillfully with a healing potion and a medical bandage after discovering the situation on Gildas' side. He put the things on the ground and said in a calm voice while unscrewing the healing potion. : "Don't worry, Lord Gildas, you have returned to the Offa Council safely. Where are you injured?"

Gildas waved his hand, indicating that he did not need the healing potion. After taking a few breaths, he pulled the sleeve of the mage and said quickly: "Quick, go inform President Alois. The envoys to the Golden Federation We were attacked by unknown forces and everyone except me was killed. I need the Lords to bring justice to my friends and apprentices!"

"What..." The mage was obviously shocked by the content of Gildas's words, but he immediately reacted and took out a magic communication device and repeated Gildas's words to his superior.

Fortunately, it was midnight, and there was no one else in the hall of the House of Lords of the Austrian Parliament except the mages who were on guard. Otherwise, Gildas' words just now would have shocked many mages.

When was the last time an envoy from the Offa Council was attacked?These mages have never heard of similar cases since they joined the Arcane Council.

This matter was quickly reported to the ears of Speaker Alois. Although the Speaker was a little unhappy to be awakened from his sleep, he must pay attention to this matter.

Gildas was guided by the mage to the door of the room where the Speaker was entertaining guests. After reporting the situation outside the door, he left, leaving Gildas alone.

The door of the room with many assistants meditating quickly opened silently, revealing the scene inside: the president with a carefully styled shawl of silver hair and an appearance that looked like an old man. At this time, he was wearing Wearing a white silk nightgown, she was sitting on an expensive chair with her eyes closed, obviously she had just woken up.

The kettle and cups and saucers next to the Speaker's right hand seemed to be manipulated by an invisible person and were suspended in mid-air.After pouring two cups of hot drinks for guests.The cups and saucers fell gently on the table and stopped moving.

"Your Majesty the Speaker." Gildas walked into the house, took off his mage hat, and bowed his head respectfully to Alois from the bottom of his heart. The door behind him closed automatically after a few rays of pale white light flowed through it. .

Alois opened his eyes at this time, and the full ether was flowing in his eyes. This great man who could be written into history books for future generations to learn from his deeds said: "That kid Fabio is dead. ?”

Gildas stood in the center of the room, looking at the Speaker's eyes that seemed to reflect the stars, with a look of shame on his face: "Yes, the enemy's strength is beyond my imagination. After Fabio opened the semi-elemental realm, he I was defeated by the enemy without even being able to fight back. But what I am even more ashamed of is that I did not recognize the force from which the other party came, and immediately fled back."

Alois exuded a gentle etheric fluctuation, soothing Gildas' nervous heart: "This is not your fault, Gildas. Your decision to immediately tear up the teleportation scroll and come back was very rational and calm. According to the information you mentioned, since the people who attacked you can quickly kill Fabio, then if you delay for a few seconds, something will happen to you. In this way, I will not be able to know in time who dares to attack the mission of the Offa Council. .”

Then the voice of the Speaker was full of anger: "Since someone dares to take action against the Offen Council, it seems that some people have become too arrogant because the Offfa Council has not opened its fangs to the outside world for so many years. It is time to let these people know that the Offa Council was a bathing party back then." Built with the blood of our enemies."

Gildas nodded in agreement, and then said bitterly: "However, apart from knowing that the enemy is a cavalry hidden under a group of black armor, I did not see any effective information that can identify the opponent's identity."

Alois returned to his amiable look when facing Gildas, and he said: "There are not many forces on the continent of Salid that can quickly kill a life magician with extremely strong survivability. You It is said that all the enemies are wearing black armor, which is somewhat similar to the group of high-level shadow servants in the Charles Empire. But the high-level shadow servants can only be commanded by the Emperor of Judah, but he has recently reached many mutually beneficial agreements with us. , I hope the Offa Council will ignore President Lu Yi of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce. It is really unnecessary for him to have bad relations with us, and it will only push us to support President Lu Yi."

Then the Speaker looked up at Gildas, who was also deep in thought, and said: "I need to carefully explore your memory tonight. It is possible that the enemy will reveal his identity in places you didn't notice. Gildas, relax. consciousness and soul.”

"Yes, Speaker." Gildas showed no resistance to his respected Speaker and let go of all his mental defenses in front of him.

Alois raised his right hand and stretched out his slightly old fingers. The invisible and rich spiritual ether was diffracted from his fingers and penetrated after touching Gildas' forehead.

The memory of Gildarts' first-person perspective immediately appeared in front of the Speaker's eyes, and he quickly browsed through the entire process.

"Huh?" Alois's observation ability is still very outstanding, and he quickly discovered a strange place in Gildas' memory.

What is this black-armored cavalryman doing in the rear?The Chancellor narrowed his eyes, and the ether circulated in his body, magnifying the scene in Gildas' memory.

Unnoticed by Gildas' perspective, Alois saw the flail-wielding Night Cavalry taking out a few books from a package and carefully putting them into his arms from a carriage full of corpses of mage apprentices.

"Bang." As if a switch was interrupted, Alois stopped detecting Gildas' memory.

The Speaker looked at Gildas who had come back to his senses and asked: "Gildas, why did the enemy who attacked you snatch a few books from the apprentices? Did you snatch any precious books back from there?"

"Books?" Gildas's eyes were confused at first, but then his thoughts became clear, and he suddenly said: "I see, no wonder I have never seen the moves used by the enemy. Speaker, I already know who the enemy is!"

Then he explained the cause and effect, and Alois's angry voice sounded in the room: "Just because the apprentices of the Austrian Council took a few of their insignificant history books, Roland dared to send people to destroy Austrian law. The envoys of the French Parliament were slaughtered? This is too much!"

"General Speaker, the result of our investigation into Stonewell City this time is..." Gildas took the opportunity to tell Alois what he discovered about the golden tree on the carriage.

Alois showed a thoughtful expression. He was silent for a moment and asked Gildas again: "Are you sure?"

"I swear to the God of Life that what I say is true. If there is any falsehood, let the God of Life take back the source of life in my body." Gildas used the ether in his body to swear to the god he believed in.

Alois nodded: "I understand. I will propose to all members of the parliament tomorrow to formally declare war on the Golden Federation. It's getting late now. Gildas, please go back and rest first."

Gildas once again took off his broad wizard hat and saluted the Speaker, and then exited the room, leaving Alois alone.

After Gildas left, Alois suddenly stretched out his left hand to suppress his trembling right hand with excitement, but even so, the body of the General Speaker of the Offa Council still trembled with excitement.

"Golden tree, golden tree, hahaha, Gildarts, a Muggle, doesn't know its true identity at all. How is it the same as the sacred tree of the Songyue Dynasty? It brings blessings to the people who believe in it, eliminating diseases, improving the body, and even Allowing people to open up the qualifications to explore the magical world... This is not something that a mere holy tree can do. This is clearly a young and ignorant god. Whoever gets the golden tree and becomes its master can become New gods." Alois murmured to himself: "My exploration of magic has come to an end. I have tried to attack the realm of gods for so many years but have never been able to do so. This golden tree that has not yet grown up is what I have become. The key to the gods, I must obtain it.”

Then he narrowed his eyes: "Why did you get the golden tree, Roland? It can make people become gods, but you use it to play house games with those mortals. You can't play its value at all. , where capable people live, it should belong to me, Roland.”

The next day, at the suggestion of Chief Speaker Alois, the members of the Upper House of the Offa Parliament agreed to the "declaration of war with the Golden Federation" proposed by the Chief Speaker. This news reached Gildas's ears and made him happy. expression.

As for the attack by those black cavalry, after Gildas pretended to tell the family members of his murdered apprentices in tears in the past few days, he also made these family members hate the Golden Federation.

As night fell, Gildas returned to his home from his mage tower in a relaxed mood, as if he had forgotten what happened a few days ago.He just finished looking for a new batch of mage apprentices in the afternoon. After all, as a legendary archmage who specializes in life magic, there are still many apprentices in the Arcane Council who are willing to study under him.

Gildas did not marry a wife, and in his huge home there were only servants he hired and apprentices who volunteered to serve him in daily life.

"This is where you will live in the future. The boys are on the left and the girls are on the right." Gildas pointed to the two clean dormitories in front of him and said to the several apprentices behind him. These were the new apprentices he had just passed the assessment in the afternoon.

After giving the apprentices a few words, Gildas led them to his garden, observed the plants planted under his ether guidance, and asked the apprentices to record the data.

Until the sky completely darkened and the servants at home lit up the magic bulbs, Gildas still led his apprentices in the garden to teach some basic theories of life magic.Although he doesn't have much affection for his apprentices, as a mentor he is still relatively serious and responsible, otherwise not many people would be willing to be his apprentices.

A burst of black mist suddenly appeared on the spacious road inlaid with lavender tiles in the Austrian Parliament, and four night cavalry silently walked out on horses with their bodies and heads wrapped in black cloth.

"We have the ability to ignore and pass through this magical barrier at night. Remember this, go back and report to Malkit and Lord Roland." The leading night cavalry said to his companions.

Since it was getting late, there were at least two or three passers-by scattered on the street at this time.They were shocked at first when they saw the Night Cavalry, but then their expressions returned to normal.After all, this is the Austrian Parliament, and they see a lot of strange things every day. Just a few normal cavalry in black clothes are not enough to surprise them too much.

Due to the existence of the protective barrier of the Arcane Council, these passers-by did not realize that the Night Cavalry was the killer who came to hunt down the legendary Archmage Gildarts.Even because they saw clearly the fine armor and weapons in the hands of the night cavalry, they were even more convinced that they were mercenaries hired by a rich mage.

After all, which killer would so easily pass through the protective barrier of the Alfa Council and appear on the street in a swaggering manner.

The leading night cavalry saw these passers-by, turned his horse's head and walked slowly towards one of the passers-by.

The passerby was very young, and he was a little nervous at first when he saw the other person approaching with a strong sense of pressure, but his attention was quickly attracted by the appearance of the other person.

The leading Night Cavalry turned over and dismounted, and politely asked the young man: "I'm sorry to disturb you, but do you know the address of Master Gildas's mansion? I have something important to discuss with the master."

The young man did not doubt that he was there, and said with an astonished expression: "Ah, are you also here to visit Master Gildas on behalf of someone else to inquire about accepting a disciple? His house is the fourth house from the right after passing this street. .The house is quite obvious, and you can see a lot of green plants planted by Gildas, so you can recognize it at a glance.”

"Thank you." The leading night cavalry did not expect that the question would go so smoothly. He thanked the passers-by and then got on his horse again, waving his hand to signal the other three companions to follow him.

The young man looked at the other person's retreating figure and said with envy from the bottom of his heart: "This outfit is so handsome!"
