Mysterious Catastrophe

This is also to give Jaeger I a face, so that he will not chase after him.

And then... a terrible flame started to burn from the library, gradually forming a torch in the night.

At this time, Jaeger I was probably still in his palace, entertaining all the guests.

Aaron glanced in the direction of the palace for the last time, smiled, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

……

The passage of time does not depend on human will.

The case of the fire in the library made Jaeger I furious and searched for spies throughout the capital...

And that's it.

Although a master of herbalism died, two demon hunters were brought along by the way.

But today's Jaeger I family has a great career, and there are many people who take refuge in him.

Stryker also more than makes up for the loss of Aaron.

Soon, Stryker became the chief maester of Jaeger I, and his fame grew.

He devoted himself to exploring the realm above the witcher master, and proposed feasible operations, which were reused by Jaeger I.

But what puzzled Jaeger I was that the surrounding countries neither recognized his crown nor sent troops to attack him.

It seems to have isolated him collectively diplomatically.

This made the king feel a little bad, but he didn't know how to break the situation, so he could only pursue the power above the so-called master demon hunter even more frantically.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

……

Beyond the continent of Addison.

An airship slowly approached.

It is hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters wide, flying very fast in mid-air.

Not only that, a circle of cyan air always surrounds the airship, making it impossible for people standing on the unshielded and protected deck to feel the slightest breeze.

"Mascar Warlock!"

A young man in a soft gray robe with a few pimples on his face saluted another old man in a black robe in awe: "According to the map, we have arrived at Addson Island!"

On the deck, there are still some childish teenagers, wearing gorgeous costumes, all of them are full of arrogance, but they are well-educated, with the politeness that rejects others thousands of miles away, they seem to be big nobles descendants of.

At this moment, they looked curiously at the outline of the coastline below, and whispered to each other:

"Is this the Addson Island? In such a remote place, I almost only read one sentence in the book..."

"I didn't expect that there are descendants of official warlocks in this kind of place..."

"Great bloodlines are great bloodlines everywhere! According to the agreement, every 100 years, there will be schools and academies to go to Addson to select talented young people, just like us..."

"100 years? Our Cape of Storms has one every ten years...they are miserable!"

"Yes, it is said that some families of apprentice warlocks have forgotten their past glory because of this, and indulged in the nobles' struggle for power... The most ridiculous thing is that some apprentice warlocks were even assassinated because of this!"

"Ah... who dares to kill the great apprentice warlock? Another warlock?"

"No, it is said that they are some self-proclaimed demon hunters. They are inferior experimental products... It is said that there are some nobles behind them, so... it can be regarded as an infighting among the warlock family?"

……

Along with whispering, the huge airship quickly landed on a flat open space.

Here, members of the royal families of various countries have long been waiting.

They are lined up in order according to their respective family emblems. The first are the families that have produced formal warlocks, and the latter are their marriage families and collaterals.

The families that had only produced apprentice warlocks were at the bottom, with only two or three members, looking timid.

Warlock is a profession that values ​​​​blood.

The greater the warlock, the more likely his offspring will be more gifted.

Therefore, those official warlocks often establish families, and according to the agreement, these warlock families will become the royal family and royal family in the corner of the mainland, and will be passed down from generation to generation!

What maintains their throne is the bloodline and the right to regularly send family members for testing!

The airship landed slowly, without splashing a trace of dust.

Warlock Mascar tapped lightly on his feet, and a vulture made of rotting flesh gave a long cry and lifted him up to the top of the waiting people.

"Dear Lord Mascar, I am Penelope of the Misri family! On behalf of the five local warlock families and the seventeen apprentice families, I welcome you!"

A sweet and lovely grand duchess with a crown on her head led people to salute.

The Misri family is the most powerful founder of the "Baisen Kingdom" on the continent of Ardson, and has agreements on marriage, vassalage, and protection with several nearby kingdoms.

According to the views of the Ardson mainlanders, the Misri family has long been able to build an empire!

But all these honors and titles cannot move Mascar Warlock.

He looked at the girl, and a thoughtful expression suddenly appeared on his face: "Misli family... a hundred years ago in your family, was there a female apprentice named Du Ling who was selected?"

"Yes, she was my great-great-grandmother!"

Penelope replied respectfully and politely.

"She has been promoted to an official warlock..."

Mascar's face softened slightly, and she stopped in front of Penelope.

Obviously, the previous glory and power are not worth mentioning in the eyes of this official warlock. The only thing worth mentioning is that there is an official warlock among the relatives of the other party. This is the key to his change of attitude!

Mascar looked around: "Is everyone here?"

"No...no!" Penelope replied with some trepidation: "There is also the royal family of the Rogge Kingdom... most of them have been killed by the rebellious little nobles, and the rest have lost their inheritance and are scattered all over the island. ..."

"Rogge?" Mascar recalled: "A kingdom established by a warlock apprentice? It really is like a joke... Who is that little nobleman? Don't you know that he is offending the blood of a great warlock?"

The uneasiness on Penelope's face became more intense: "The previous king of the Rogge Kingdom died too early, and the new king is a child who has not received a glorious traditional education, and... 100 years have passed since the last time. It's been a year..."

100 years, in this era, at least five or six generations have changed.

The power of time will make fools forget everything!

"In only 100 years, there are dirty and lowly people who dare to offend the glory of warlocks?"

Mascar Warlock's expression became calmer.

But Penelope became more cautious: "Jegger of the Lancaster family is the leader of those rebels... He has mastered and optimized the cultivation method of demon hunters, and there are a large number of demon hunters under his command... "

"You say so much, do you want me to make a move?"

Mascar Warlock looked at Penelope with a half-smile, and when the Grand Duchess looked uneasy, he suddenly smiled: "Yes...as long as you pay a price that satisfies me, I don't mind Take one shot."

……

Kingdom of Lancaster.

Jaeger I always felt that something was wrong.

He originally thought that this was a world where the weak and the strong preyed on the strong. As long as he overthrew the kingdom, he would definitely be recognized by the neighboring countries, and then he would join forces and use diplomatic means. , become the ruler of Addison!

But the reality is...the high-level actions of various countries are surprisingly consistent!

This was information that he, who was born in a minor noble, did not know at all, and was even at a loss as to what to do.

Until this day!

"His Majesty!"

Jaeger I was reviewing documents in the palace when a demon hunter hurried in with a distorted face: "Outside...outside..."

"What's going on outside?"

Jaeger I walked out of the palace impatiently and looked up at the sky.

Then, he saw a shadow oppressing all living beings!

A huge airship had arrived at his palace at some point, filled with the bad smell of the visitor.

"guard!"

Jaeger I roared loudly and asked his palace guards to escort him.

These were all demon hunters carefully selected by him, their loyalty was very reliable, and soon there were more than 100 of them!

But the next moment, lightsabers descended from the sky, piercing through the demon hunters and nailing them to death in the square.

A man in black robe riding a rotten vulture slowly descended from the airship.

With dark eyes, he waved his hand: "Darkness...shackles!"

Three black halos instantly appeared around Jaeger I's body, binding him like chains.

He looked at this scene, his face was not despair, but a very strange expression.

It was as if... the world I had always believed in had suddenly collapsed!

Chapter 1114 The New Gravekeeper

"Put down the king!"

The remaining witcher guards bravely charged forward.

Then, Jaeger I seemed to see the old man in black robe snap his fingers: "Ray of decay!"

A streak of dark green light flashed, and the flesh and blood of those demon hunters began to fester halfway, turning into white skeletons and falling beside him.

"You...what the hell are you?"

Jaeger I looked at Mascar, the corners of his eyes were torn and blood flowed out.

"Mortal, you never know what a huge and brilliant civilization you offended..."

Warlock Mascar smiled, and suddenly grabbed Jaeger I, a gray light flashed in his eyes.

Jaeger I's expression instantly became blank.

Then, he heard Mascar's voice: "Is it your decision to launch a rebellion and exterminate the royal family of Rogge, or was it ordered by others?"

"It's... my own... decision!" Jaeger I replied sternly, like a puppet on a string.

"Where did your witcher transformation technology come from?"

"From my bachelor group, the chief bachelor is Stryker!" Jaeger I continued to answer.

"Tell me about your past..."

Mascar was noncommittal and asked a few more questions.

Grand Duchess Penelope came to Masca at some point: "My lord... the situation in the capital has been brought under control. I believe that the remaining nobles will recognize the situation and help us exterminate Lan Kai. The Sturt family!"

"This is a necessary warning!"

Mascar pointed to Jaeger I: "Three days later, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the capital, execute him with the cruelest punishment... Let the world know the price of challenging us."

"Other than that... there is nothing special about these demon hunters, it's just that the idea of ​​improving the potion is a little new, but that's all."

Grand Duchess Penelope was moved for a moment.

In fact, the witcher's transforming technology also exists in the Misri family.

It's just that no one in the family takes it seriously, and the death rate is too high, which is a bit scary.

If there is an improved version, it would be good to use it to make cannon fodder.

Warlock Mascar seemed to see through this little thought, and smiled: "You descendants of official warlocks, you have a lot of cards in your family, either blood branding, or alchemy weapons... As a result, you didn't take out any of them, just Are you waiting for me to make a move?"

If one of these official warlock families had made a move, Jaeger I would have been defeated long ago.

But they just watched it like they were watching a clown in a circus.

In addition to the distance, loss and other reasons, the biggest factor is knowing that the once-in-a-century selection is coming, and there is an official warlock leading the team, so what are you afraid of?

"We're just looking for safety...Master Mascar, you know, one of these hole cards is one less..."

Penelope showed a pitiful look. According to the family's order, if she could have something to do with this official warlock, or even conceive the other's child, then she must be the next queen!

Unfortunately, Mascar has no interest in this woman.
