It was already late at night when the magic association's airship arrived at its destination, but the imperial knights waiting there did not give them any time to rest. They directly invited them into the carriage and rushed to the valley where the group of silver armored knights were.

When they got there, the group of magicians knew why the knights were so eager - the reason was very simple. The other party found that their location had been exposed, so they put on their armor, stepped on their horses, and tried to leave the valley before the siege was completed.

Fortunately, the Yalong Empire's preparations were quite sufficient. Although most of the soldiers used were infantry mobilized from neighboring provinces and counties, and there were very few serious knights, the commander was an experienced veteran.And this valley is really too hidden, although it is difficult to be found hidden in it, but there is only one exit if you want to get out of it.It was the soldiers of the Yalong Empire who blocked the exit with shields and spears, and trapped the hundred silver armored knights until now.

Now that the magicians finally arrived, the Yalong Empire immediately asked them to use magic to assist them, preparing to attack the silver armored knights in the valley.

But the magicians of the Magic Association neither want to assist them nor be assisted by them.

After arriving in the valley, several earth magicians directly "built" a huge earth wall at the only exit of the valley, completely sealing those silver armored knights in the valley, and then blocked the empire that was originally blocked at the exit. The soldiers were all driven away from the valley.

Seeing that all the soldiers from the empire had withdrawn, two great magicians of the fire department and one great magician of the wind department walked out of the team, stood under the earth wall that had just been built, and recited a long and Complicated spells.

—Forbidden curse?

Onlookers on the imperial side immediately had such thoughts.

In fact, only two fire magicians are chanting the forbidden spell, and the other wind magician is only casting auxiliary magic, using the method of "wind assisting fire" to increase and control the magic of the two fire magicians .

Keech just followed and watched, and had no task of casting spells. He also closed his eyes at this moment, and carefully felt the process of other people's spellcasting.

After observing the movement of the elements in the air for a while, Kiki judged that what the two fire magicians were going to cast should be pure fire magic similar to "Blazing Fire", but the spells they used came from which modified book. Ancient books, which are mixed with too many useless original sounds, make the movement of the elements slow and stagnate from time to time.

Keech quickly opened his eyes impatiently, losing interest in their forbidden spell.

Although Keech lost interest, the imperial soldiers next to him watched with gusto.The silver-armored knights in the valley did not give up hope of breaking through, and were constantly attacking the earth wall built by magic, so that the earth magicians outside had to constantly strengthen the earth wall.Fortunately, this is not a complicated magic, and there are enough of them, so although the two fire magicians had to recite the spell for half an hour to condense the first wall of fire, the earth wall at the exit of the valley was also broken. Still not broken by the Silver Armored Knight.

When the first wall of flames formed by condensed flames appeared on the side of the valley, another wall of almost the same size also appeared opposite it.Immediately afterwards, the two walls of fire swept across the valley and flew towards each other. After crossing, they returned to the previous position of each other, and the cycle continued.

Contrary to the long and ineffective spell that just made people want to sleep soundly, the two walls of fire have been active and fast since they appeared, as if time has suddenly sped up, spreading to the entire city in a blink of an eye. The valley, turning it into a place of raging flames.

The fire in the valley didn't last long. In about 5 minutes, two fire magicians dispersed their own magic flames, and two water magicians rained down on the valley to completely extinguish the remaining flames. Doused out.

Amir turned his head and glanced at Kiki, beckoning him to give instructions on the next step.

"Let's clean up the battlefield." Keech said indifferently.He checked with his abilities, and there were no living people in the valley, not even living things.

Keech said so, but the magicians did not move, only a few earth magicians scattered the earth wall at the exit, and made way for the stunned imperial soldiers next to them, obviously leaving this job gave them.

The commander of the empire quickly realized this, and hurriedly came to his senses, commanding his soldiers into the valley, inspecting the battlefield, and counting the heads.

Most of the magicians stayed outside the valley.As the instigators, the mages knew very well what kind of tragedy it would be inside. In order not to affect their appetite in the next few days, they didn't want to watch the glorious battle results they had brewed at all.

Soldiers sent in to clean up the battlefield had to take over the mess left by the magicians. Those soldiers who had never been on the battlefield quickly bent over and vomited. Following in the footsteps of these recruits.

Keech didn't go in either, only Amir and another wind magician, Mullens, flew in with the flying technique after the thick smoke in the valley cleared, briefly inspected the situation inside, and quickly They flew out one after the other.

"The number of people is wrong. It is estimated that some fish have slipped through the net." Mullens said first.

"When the magic was activated, we kept watching, and absolutely no one escaped." A magician next to him said immediately.

"It's possible that they left before the siege." Amir said lightly, "Don't pay too much attention to the few fish that slip through the net. Let the communication towers in various places strengthen their vigilance, and the rest will be handed over to the people of the Yalong Empire. alright."

"That is, it's over?" Keech interjected.

"Yes, Your Excellency President, we can go back and rest." Amir nodded.

Hearing these calm words, Kiki looked at Amir suspiciously, and then thought of Darren, but Amir's expression was neither sad nor joyful, which only made Kiki feel weird and abnormal.

Kitsch pouted, but didn't ask any further questions.

Since the sky was too dark to take off, land and fly the airship, the group of the Magic Association did not return immediately by airship, but took a carriage provided by the empire to rest in the nearby city of Milan.

When he arrived in Milan, he had a chance to be alone with Kiki, so Amir changed his expression and said coldly, "Darren is not in that valley."

"Are you sure?" Keech asked casually, but he wasn't surprised at all.

"I can recognize his appearance even if it is turned into ashes, let alone burnt." Amir said with certainty, "However, I can probably guess where he is—do you want to find him with me?"

"I'll go with you?" Kiki was slightly taken aback, "I thought you wanted to deal with him more yourself."

"If possible, of course I hope so." Amir sighed, "However, unfortunately, the number of paladins is also wrong. Apparently there are a few who follow him to protect him."

"So, you're going to take me to deal with those paladins?" Kiki pouted.

"Yes." Amir nodded calmly, "Only your instant magic can deal with those rough-skinned and thick-skinned fighters. If it were me, I would be dead."

"He will kill you?" Kitsch raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"Even if it didn't happen in the past, it will definitely happen now." Amir laughed at himself.

Early the next morning, Keech did not board the airship to return to the Magic Association with other magicians, but followed Amir and used the flying technique to fly towards the mountains in the south.

After flying for a while, Kiki realized that the place they were going to should be Amir's mage tower.

Sure enough, the scenery on the road became more and more familiar, and a mountain range was also in sight.

However, Amir did not take Kiki directly into his mage tower, but rested overnight in a small town outside the mountains, and walked on foot in the most energy-saving way with the cooperation of the Wind Control Technique the next morning. Came outside the mage tower.

"Check to see if anyone is there." Amir stopped when he was still a considerable distance away from the Mage Tower.

Kiki closed his eyes in response, and soon discovered that, as Amir had worried, there were warriors ambushing inside and outside the mage tower, and all of these warriors had obvious light elements attached to them.

"There are three in the Mage Tower, and four outside." Kiki opened his eyes.

"Use the freezing technique to kill everything outside, so there is no need to keep alive." Amir said coldly.

—Are you sure Darren won't be outside?

Keech slandered, but according to Amir's request, he silently froze the four Holy See warriors who were ambushing around the mage's tower into icemen.

"Okay." Kiki said to Amir after confirming that the four people were completely dead.

"The three in the tower, can you find the difference? For example, the location, the distribution of elements on the body." Amir continued to ask.

"One is on the stairwell from the second floor to the third floor, and the other two are on the second floor, and one of them is in the bathroom..." Kiki frowned as he spoke, "It's strange, the one that's not in the bathroom, There is no light element on his body, it seems that he is not from the Holy See."

"Freeze the two with light elements attached to them." Amir said immediately.

"Eh?" Kiki turned his head suspiciously, glanced at Amir, and saw that he didn't hesitate, so he could only curl his lips and do as he asked, "...there is only one left. In that room in Nan."

"Let's go." Amir stepped forward and walked towards the mage tower.

After entering the mage's tower, Amir did not let Kiki go upstairs with him, but raised his hand to signal him to stay downstairs, and went up the stairs by himself.

Kiki was naturally very upset, but he didn't complain, and directly mobilized the wind elements in the tower to let them follow Amir, bringing back the sound there for himself.

Regarding Kiki's blatant eavesdropping behavior, Amir acquiesced and generally didn't care about it. He went up to the second floor, opened the door and walked into the room where Kiki once lived for a short time.

At this moment, the room has been cleaned up, and there is a silver-haired man on the wooden chair. It is Darren that Amir and Kiki are looking for.

"Long time no see, my dear magician Amir." Seeing Amir coming in, Darren smiled and spoke up.

Amir also raised the corners of his mouth, and responded with a slight smile, "I didn't expect you to come back here, why, are you desperate?"

"If I say yes, will you take me in?" Darren's smile didn't change, but before Amir could answer, he continued on his own, "Since you want to come here to find me, stay in Miranda Those idiots in the county must have been exposed, how do you deal with them, have you killed them all?"

"Not one." Amir replied calmly.

"It seems that I really have nowhere to go." Darren shrugged self-mockingly, then raised his eyebrows, "Ah, did you come here to... kill me?"

"Some things were already doomed when you decided to leave this mage tower." Amir said lightly.

"But I'm back." Darren blinked. "We could start over."

"Unfortunately, I don't want to continue anymore." Amir stared into Darren's eyes and said word by word.

"Oh, is it because of that red-haired woman?" Darren clicked his tongue pretending to be disappointed, "That president's daughter fascinates you so much? I really didn't expect that someone like you who has both front and back A guy who has tasted the taste of a man can still continue to embrace a woman-can she satisfy you?"

Amir smiled unmoved and did not answer.

So Darren continued to speculate on his own, "No, of course she can't satisfy you. The one who really made you abandon me should be the perfect boy with Chimera blood? Yes, young, soft, and simple. , obedient, can satisfy everything you want, of course it is incomparable to me, an old and dirty guy..."

"You're still the same, always blaming others." Amir sighed and interrupted Darren's self-talk, "You were the one who decided to leave at the beginning. When we met again in Yani City, we I also gave you a chance to look back, but you refused, and refused again and again."

"Of course I want to refuse!" Darren's expression changed suddenly, and he said coldly, "I was raised by you in such a small tower like a dog, and you will sleep with you when you need it, and sleep with you when you don't. What is the difference between living alone in an empty bed and being in that old guy's tower?"

"So you've always thought this way?" Amir snorted mockingly, "It seems you forgot again, who climbed into my bed, crying and making me hug him."

"Did you refuse? Didn't you?" Darren replied contemptuously, "Don't always think of yourself as a beneficiary. You have raised me for many years. I admit that without you, if I don't starve to death, I will fall again. Become a male and female branch or something like that. But I don’t owe you anything, what I owe you has already been paid with my body.”

"What you're saying now is what's in your heart, right?" Amir sneered and raised his eyebrows.

"What do you want to hear again? I love your nasty words?" Darren raised his chin, "I'm so sorry, you're going to be disappointed. I never loved you, and I never thought of loving you. On the contrary, In this world, I hate you the most! Your appearance, your talent, your stubbornness, and your luck all make me hate you! In that tower, the person I most wish to die is you, but You can always survive, even that disgusting female magician is unwilling to kill you!"

"Hmph!" Amir didn't get angry because of Darren's words. On the contrary, he laughed, "Have you started to give up on yourself? It seems that you finally understand that those knights who should have appeared but failed to appear will never appear." will appear."

"...you didn't come alone." Darren narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"Of course." Amir smiled slightly, "I know you too well, Darren, you are a lunatic, you are not happy, and you want everyone to be as unhappy as you. When you realize that you have failed, and you are Repeated failures, what would you think at this time? Of course only - to drag people into the water."

"Who else is in this tower?" Darren asked through gritted teeth.

"Obviously, there will be no one for you, only those who want to kill you." Amir stepped up to Darren's side, "You shouldn't have killed that Xiuqi, it doesn't hinder you if he lives, but If he's dead, you can't live anymore."

"He betrayed me!" Darren raged.

"No, he didn't betray you, he just abandoned you." Amir looked into Darren's eyes and said pitifully.

This sentence seemed to touch Darren's sore spot, causing him to grab the armrest of the wooden chair, but he unexpectedly did not refute. After a while, he lowered his eyelids and said indifferently: "I have prepared the title of Holy Son for him, let him be The object of worship of everyone, and I worked hard to help him kill the enemy of the family... But when I finished everything and waited for him to wear the crown, he said, everything I did was not what he wanted What he wants, and I am not the kind of priest he expected, so he is going to the real Holy See to find the real faith..."

"So, you cut off his head and gave it to his brother?" Amir asked with a frown.

"No, it's for you." Darren raised his head and said with a smirk, "I want to show you that Chimeras can also be killed, even if they have a powerful force different from ordinary people, they are the same Will be hunted by mortals like me!"

"...you want to kill Kiki." Amir narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"What I can't get, you don't even want to have it." Darren raised his head and said proudly, "If you don't kill me today, then one day I will kill him, and let the blood of Chimera disappear from this world." Completely extinct! I already know their weaknesses, and how to kill them!"

"In this case, I really can't let you live." Amir sighed heavily, stretched out his hands, and strangled Darren's neck.

"No..." Darren was really startled at this moment, as if he didn't expect that Amir would actually attack him, but the strength in his neck was getting stronger and stronger, and his breathing gradually became difficult and painful, "... No...you can't...can...I still have many...many...secrets..."

"I don't want to hear it." Amir said indifferently, "For example, the magicians who have been bewitched by you are not only Summerhail, but also Everton, and you used the soul-stirring technique on Queen Hathaway... these things, or Let's go to hell with you."

"You..." Darren raised his hand and wanted to break Amir's hand from his neck, but at this time he was already struggling to exert strength due to suffocation.

"There is no secret in this world that can't be found out. The only difference is whether we want to find out." Amir suddenly pushed hard, and Darren's eyes widened suddenly, and he could no longer utter a sound.

Soon, Darren's arms slipped from Amir's wrists, and his head turned to one side, limp together with his body.

Only then did Amir let go of his hand, and said to the door without looking back, "Come in."

Keech, who had been standing outside the door for a while, opened the door and walked in. He looked at Darren on the chair, but didn't speak.

Darren wasn't dead, or rather, not quite dead.

Keech made a judgment when he entered the door. Darren was just strangled by Amir and went into shock. If he was rescued immediately, or his desire to survive was strong enough, he might wake up at any time.

But Keech didn't point this out, and didn't confirm it with Amir.

"Can I ask you something?" Amir said lightly.

"Say." Kiki tilted his head expressionlessly.

"When we leave later, sink this tower into the ground." Amir continued, "This tower was built when Darren and I were together. Let it be left to him as a funeral."

"Okay." Kitty nodded.

"Then, let's go." Amir turned around and walked downstairs without looking back.

Keech didn't stay in the tower either, but followed Amir and left the Mage Tower with him.But the moment he turned around, Kiki narrowed his eyes and used his supernatural power to freeze Darren's heart into solid ice.

—In this way, death will be eternal and complete.

Kitsch narrowed his eyes, thinking secretly.
