[Western Fantasy] The mystery of life and death

The crimson sunset glows all over the sky, and it also coats the gorgeous palaces inlaid like jewels on the thorny cliff with the majestic splendor of heaven. Slowly engulf this side of peace and tranquility.

After Captain "Fick" arranged several defenses at the foot of the Thorn Cliff, he continued to patrol along the courtyard wall behind the Holy Academy amidst the sound of evening prayers, and gradually came to a secluded and desolate place. The branches were as high as the top of the head, and looked like miasma from a distance. "Fike" flashed into the weeds, and his figure quickly disappeared into the thick green.

The "dead man's dream" growing here is more lush and full-bodied than what Loka saw in the monastery outside Sunset Town.The entire Holy Academy is shrouded in this refreshing sweet fragrance.The sound of vespers in the distance is faint and misty in the growing twilight.

Of course, Luoka's cultivation will not be affected.He arranged for the people hiding in the Holy Academy and the outer guards to be high-ranking priests and high-ranking guards of Alandi, with extremely strong and stable mental power, and wearing special magic tools made by the Jinghu tribe, which can help keep their minds clear.

After a while, Luoka came out from the grass that spread to the edge of the cliff. He stood on the edge of the cliff like a river, and the bottom of the cliff in front of him was surging day and night.

The darkness completely enveloped the surrounding fields, and the only sound in the ears of the dark mountains and fields was the roar of the slapping waves of the river. A dexterous black shadow fluttered from the bottom of the cliff and landed on Luoka's shoulder. It was the size of a cuckoo falcon. "against the wind".

Since Loka was promoted to the captain of the guard directly under the identity of "Fick", "Headwind" no longer entered the Thorn Cliff from the passage of the "Capricu" water pool.That path is too dangerous.

When "Headwind" turns into a small cuckoo falcon, it can fly along the river close to the water surface, or even dive underwater, directly coming to the outside of the city wall without touching the induction of the defensive formation.Loka quickly took advantage of the opportunity of the Holy Academy to recruit a large number of personnel from outside, and arranged many masters of the Aranti tribe to mix in.Through several secret mobilizations, one-third of the defense area around Thorn Cliff is now completely under the control of the Aranti clan masters.

In the area behind the Holy Academy, "Headwind" can already communicate freely, and communicate with the outside world more frequently.This "headwind" brought quite exciting news, but Luoka's frowning brows did not relax in the slightest.

Timothy arranged for the special envoy to meet with "Mr. Murphy" every day. Their memories were subtly affected, but the subtle changes deeply changed their inner cognition.The special envoy that originally investigated Timothy's details has now completely become Timothy's close allies. When they return to the Temple Mount, they will immediately launch a campaign against the forces that Livingston has placed in the church.

Lorca delivered the message just in time.In the past few days, there have been unnoticeable personnel changes in the church. Several bishops went out to inspect the diocese, some stewards went out to buy, some pilgrims left, several generals applied for transfer or vacation, and even a few copyists. Also go out on vacation... Everything in daily life is so peaceful, and after these people left the Temple Mount, they sneaked into the wilderness outside the thorn cliff to gather.

The news sent back by Tilda sparked a glimmer of hope in Loka's heart - Libetas, who was acting as the ruling king to guard the secret realm, found some clues from the ancient books, and maybe she could try to rescue those who lived with the bloodthirsty magic vine. Shadowmoon people.

But the looming crisis made Loka even more anxious. He found that the guarding barrier of the "Capricu" pool was dissolving far faster than he expected.Therefore, Loka canceled the plan to penetrate into the secret passage, and still placed all the Aranti people on the periphery.He surveyed the internal pattern of the Thorn Cliff Mountain these days, and repeatedly calculated the possible location of the collapse of the Thorn Cliff Mountain after "Caprico" broke the guarding barrier. In case the situation becomes uncontrollable, it is also more convenient to evacuate in time.

And Mason, since that fight, has refused to show up again.Every time Loka entered the hall as "Fick", he was immediately attacked by strong mental power, each time getting more intense.If it wasn't for the fact that Lorca's mental power is already very tough, and he wears the "Dream Tears" to calm his mind, under such an almost crazy mental power attack, he would have been strongly driven away from here, and even far away from this place. continent.

Must see Mason ASAP!Although Luoka doesn't know what Mason has experienced and endured these days, he can be sure that he must have suffered a lot. Maybe Mason is no longer willing to trust the person who hurt him the most, so he would rather wait here to die. He refused to leave with him, maybe Mason was unable to leave due to some kind of prohibition.In any case, we must see him as soon as possible, and even if it is a last resort, Luoka intends to use the "Great Sealing Technique" to take him away forcibly.

Mason can teleport and hide as he pleases in that field. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to show up, Loka can't even see his face without causing a big commotion.Lorca asked Livingston and Tilda for help through the "headwind" message. This time "headwind" brought the blond doll, which was the imprint of the "substitute technique" that maintained the transfer of damage, and could connect the two of them. Body and mind induction.

The little blond doll turned into a harmonious ball of light in the palm of Luoka. Now that Luoka has mastered the secret technique taught by Miluo in Kedile Mountain, he cast the spell silently, and the light ball quietly submerged into his soul.

Under the tranquil night sky, the magnificent palace on the top of the thorny cliff is brightly lit with candles.Duke Timothy hosted a banquet for the distinguished guests of the special envoy. In the grand and magnificent auditorium, they laughed and chatted, drinking and toasting each other.

"Fick" served "Mr. Murphy" instead of the manager, and he escaped unscathed every time, so he was appreciated by the manager and was honored to participate in the banquet.

Lorca suppressed the anxiety in his heart, humbly followed behind the manager, and secretly observed and sensed Timothy's mana.With Lorca's current cultivation base, he can completely rank among the top level of magic and martial arts cultivation base in the entire continent, but he still can't see through Timothy's strength.This means that Timothy's personal strength is even higher than the elders of Aranti.

And beside Timothy, there is a team of ten magicians, each of whom has a cultivation level close to that of Loca.Lorca observed that their auras echoed each other faintly, and their demeanor and eyes had a sense of tacit understanding.In other words, they have many years of experience in fighting in formation.

The current elders of Alanti joined forces and might be able to fight against one of them.But it is also full of variables.

At that time, can Timothy and his magician battle group resist "Caprico"?The elders of Aranti can lead a group of masters to ambush in advance to reap the benefits; or, will Timothy have other means to subdue "Caprico" and drive "Caprico" and Alan What about the elders fighting?This situation will be very bad.

There is no abnormality in the guarding barrier above the "Capricu" pool, but Loka ventures to check it every day, and finds in the meditation induction that although the guarding barrier's energy is stable, it has already approached an empty shell , the entire guarding barrier is in a very weak balance.

In the banquet hall where the singing and dancing are flourishing, Loka is suffering from inner anxiety, but on his face is the flattered humility of "Fick".When the hooked crescent moon rose to mid-air and the atmosphere of the banquet was in full swing, the manager quietly led "Fick" out of the banquet hall, passed through a corridor wall, and came to a secret warehouse.Order "Fick" to wait outside and enter it alone.

Obviously, the level of "Fick" cannot enter, or is not qualified to know the collection.But Lorca still sensed the bone-engraving fragrance overflowing from the warehouse door during the short gap when the door was opened.

Loka immediately understood that this was the place where the highest purity "Dream Wine" was stored.

When the manager came out of the storeroom, he carefully held a tray, which held a beautifully carved tall silver cup.He took "Fick" to the outside of the hall where "Mr. Murphy" was.After opening the mechanism of the gate, signal "Fick" to bring in the silver cup.

Could this be the method they used to control Mason?

Loca's inadvertent hesitation due to thinking was interpreted by the general manager as fear.He patted "Fick" on the back and comforted him, "It doesn't matter if you don't have armor, don't be afraid, 'Mr. Murphy' will calm down his temper every time he gets the 'Dream Wine', and he won't embarrass you."

After being reminded by him, Lorca lowered his head and glanced at the fancy dress he was wearing for the banquet, showing a bit of worry and fear at the right time.

Restraining his eagerness to enter the hall immediately, he hesitated for a while with the attitude of "Fick", before respectfully holding the silver cup, he walked into the hall tremblingly.

While the door was slowly closing, the manager left in a hurry.

It stands to reason that the mental power is strong to a certain extent, and when exposed to psychotropic drugs, one can experience the effects of these drug ingredients on the mind and body, but there will be no inseparable dependence.With Mason's mental power as vast as the sea, can the "dream wine" really control him?Lorca thought about it, dipped his finger in a bit of the dark red thick wine and tasted it.

As soon as the tip of the tongue touches the sweet and soft wine, a soft feeling immediately ripples in the depths of the soul, pervading the whole body irresistibly like a sea tide, the soft and soft feeling fills every part of the body, and the body and mind sense instantly melt into a thick The honey syrup, the whole world falls into the sweet syrup until it rots.

Loka was in a trance for a moment and then immediately woke up. He stabilized his limp legs and circulated his mana to dispel the feeling of softness.I couldn't help being a little shocked in my heart, this "dream wine" of the highest purity is indeed quite powerful.Could this really be the method they used to control Mason?If this is the case, Mason must not be allowed to continue to be dependent.This abominable thing must be destroyed immediately.

Loka then turned around and opened the door, and when he was about to exit the hall, suddenly a light and shadow distorted in front of him, and the silver cup in the tray disappeared out of thin air.

really!Lorca's heart sank, it seemed that Mason had already developed a serious mental dependence, and he couldn't wait so impatiently.Even, every time Lorca entered the hall these days, he would be attacked by intense mental power.But this time it didn't. Mason must have been worried that the attack would harm the "dream wine" he so desperately wanted.

Loka suppressed the pity and guilt in his heart, his whole body was lifted up, and he covered the entire hall with a huge and sharp spiritual power. He walked in the secluded hall, and whenever he approached the altar, the one who fell into the soul The imprinted light group in it will become brighter.Loka experienced the imprint induction carefully and came to the altar, and the familiar intimacy in his soul became stronger and stronger.

But the altar was empty, with a huge three-layered seven-pointed star array drawn on the ground, and a large stone platform in the center, covered with black velvet curtains messily, half of which was dragged to the ground.Lorca walked back and forth around the altar a few times, but did not find Mason.

Loka became more and more anxious under his anxiety.Suddenly, with an idea, he cast a spell to sacrifice the golden imprinted light group, and combined with his spiritual power, he rushed towards the direction with the strongest induction.

The light and shadow of the air in front of his eyes were distorted, and ripples rippled like water waves.Suddenly, Loka felt a slight dizziness. He gathered his mind and looked forward. In front of him was still the stone platform covered with black velvet curtain. Everything was the same as before, but there seemed to be something different.

Loka took a step forward suspiciously. Suddenly, with a ding sound, he looked down and saw that he had kicked a silver cup with his foot.He picked up the silver cup and found that it was empty, with only a thin light red wine stain on the inner wall.
