Lord of Arcane

Chapter 806 The Mission Begins Deadline
"How dare you? How dare you? You are against the entire family of Ozobaine!"

The mistress of a small family pointed at Marucis angrily. Normally, she would not be able to do such a move, but now she is surrounded by her allies!

"All these are the gifts of the Mother God. The day of salvation is coming. I hope you will recognize the reality!"

Maruccis didn't pay attention to the accusations of her new companion, and she even bowed her head slightly to express her apology, but she was on the steps of the altar at the moment, but this performance was regarded as arrogance by the drow below.

"Maluxis, do you really think that a little holy power can control us? How naive!"

This high drow mage was extremely confident in his own strength. With a glance left and right, several acquainted mages immediately had a tacit understanding, and they all cast spells in unison, wanting to take down Marusis first.

Unexpectedly, just as the will of the mages resonated, before they could cast a spell, a dark sacred flame shot out from their bodies, almost breathing, turning these mages into fiercely burning dark torches .

Ah-ah-ah-

Several mages ran about in the square in pain, while the other drow around them couldn't avoid it, but they were more concerned about whether they would also encounter such a fate than avoiding these humanoid torches.

Until those few human-shaped torches were completely burned out, none of the bystanders around were willing to stand up and lend a helping hand.

"Maluxis, what do you want to do?"

In the end, it was the speaker of the ruling council of Ozobaine City who stood up and challenged Maruss on behalf of the entire Ozobaine family.

In this regard, Maruss took out the oracle again and showed it to her new companions, "Oracle: Counterattack the surface and welcome salvation!"

"..."

Crazy, really crazy, the speaker murmured, in her opinion, Drow has already adapted to the environment in the Underdark, so why bother to go to the surface to feel uncomfortable!
The most important thing is that once the war starts, many clansmen will die in the sunshine adaptation training without even seeing the enemy face.

It's just that her objection is invalid!

Of course, looking at Marucis' firm gaze, the speaker did not dare to object.

The other high-ranking people who used to be in Ozobein were also silent at this time, as if they wanted to use silence to fight.

It’s just that this kind of confrontation is doomed to be powerless, and soon a mistress wearing a priest’s robe stood up, “Be merciful to my God, the day of redemption will come; glory to my God, redemption will be completed!”

traitor!

Many mistresses were cursing in their hearts, but it seemed that the priests were not with them, and one of them stood up. All the mistresses who were priests before stood up and supported the oracle.

After all, they are all priests. Although they failed to establish a good relationship with Marucis in advance, it is not too late now. Even for the sake of the mother god, Marucis will not make things too difficult for them.

With the priest and mistress taking the lead, the other mistresses saw that they had lost even the last reliance on the "many people" and that they were still under the control of the holy power. There were a few human-shaped torches before. Against what?

So they offered their loyalty!

……

"very good!"

Although the process was a bit tortuous, a satisfactory result was obtained in the end. Marucis's face completely burst into a smile, and she laughed loudly without any scruples. None of the mistresses below dared to look at her.

"From tomorrow onwards, Ozobein will enter a state of preparation for the day of redemption! Now, I declare that the Sanzi family has blasphemed the oracle, and their crimes deserve death!"

The Sanzi family?It was only then that the Zhuoer discovered that the mistress of the Sanqi family hadn't got up from the ground, and looked around, but they didn't find her.

They obviously participated in the sacrificial ceremony together before, but now—

Zhuoer didn't dare to think too much, but perhaps they could use the Sanzi family to make up for the losses suffered by their own family in the upcoming battle of redemption!
……

As the entire Ozobein unified the front and entered a state of preparation, Xia Duo also obviously felt the abnormal atmosphere.

The intensity of the training on the training ground has been increased a lot. One trained drow warrior was beaten to death by the instructor just because he complained in a low voice.

This has never happened before. After all, the proportion of people who can pass the sunshine adaptation training is not high, and they have paid a huge cost. A death is a huge loss.

But now, it seems that something is urging!

On the other side of the courtyard, Xia Duo also felt some subtle changes, the most obvious being that Marucis's attitude seemed to have become much stronger, and the gentle side appeared less and less frequently.

However, even if he was on the cold side, Xia Duo would still have to beat her up, which was almost the only reason why Marucis came to him.

……

That day, Xia Duo had just returned to the courtyard residence from the library, and Marucis came to the door again. Just when Xia Duo thought it was another flogging campaign, Marucis brought him the long-awaited news:

"The mission of scouting will start the day after tomorrow. The mission of other drow is to find a weak point in the ground or cut off 100 elf ears. But you, as the servant of the Crowley family, I want you to do double!"

Xia Duo naturally readily agreed, he can't wait to go to the surface!
After staying in the Underdark for such a long time, he had already had enough. With the magic imprint of Maruccis on his body, there was no possibility of free movement underground.

Only by going to the surface can you temporarily escape the opponent's control.

As for the magic mark on his body, he already had some eyebrows, and he tried to break it as soon as he reached the surface.

"Your weapons and equipment, I will have someone send them over tomorrow, you only have one day to get familiar with them! I hope you can return safely!"

At the end, Marucis rarely showed a trace of tenderness.

Xia Duo could only respond in silence.

……

Two days later.

Xia Duo waited for the scout to be blindfolded and teleported to the entrance of an unfamiliar passage, and after turning around and walking for a long way, he finally received an order to remove the blindfold.

A female instructor pointed to the slanting passage ahead, and said: "This is the passage leading to the surface, go forward! I hope you can all complete the mission and return!"

Xia Duo was silent and didn't say a word. In fact, except for the female instructor who spoke just now, there was not a single noise here. Anger and unwillingness were suppressed in the team.

Even Xia Duo is no exception.

Just now at the training ground, each of their scouts going to the surface was given the effect of [mission deadline] by several high-ranking mages through ritual magic.

If you fail to complete the task and return within one year, you will die automatically.

At the same time, this ritual magic also has a suicide effect, which is similar to using a magic scroll, but here, the body becomes a different kind of magic scroll, as long as the will is touched, the body will die automatically.

As for whether there are other effects, even Xia Duo, the main plane arcanist, can't see more.

In a word, if you honestly complete the mission and return, you will be able to survive, and there will be a large reward.

Otherwise, it is better to kill yourself directly, which may be more comfortable.
