False prophecies kill people [Western Fantasy]

When Sexitus returned to the palace, it was exactly one day later that he would be poisoned.

Xie Yi has already returned to the tower dedicated to his experiments, and once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to the research of resurrecting Langlock.

This time, he finished making the antidote ahead of time, and didn't keep Sexitus waiting.

——This is an equivalent exchange, Xie Yi thought, Sexitus provided him with the materials he requested, so he should also fulfill his obligations.

Everything seems to be the same as before.

Although Sexitus had mastered the magic-locking golden chain, he still did not act rashly, but sent soldiers with the magic-locking golden chain to capture the wizard secretly.

If this thing can suppress the wizard, then he will proceed to the next step.

On this day, they finally caught a wizard.

Although this is not a powerful wizard, it is still a wizard.

The result did not disappoint Sexitus. The magic-locking golden chain firmly locked the witch power in the wizard's body, preventing him from escaping or attacking.

The heavy golden chains weighed on his body, causing him to stagger.

If according to Sexitus' original plan, as long as it is confirmed that the magic-locking gold chain can suppress the wizard, he would order the soldiers to kill the wizard on the spot to avoid leaking the news.

However, after he received the news, he changed his original plan.

"Bring him back, I want to see him."

When he said this, Sexitus was in his study, looking down at his paintings.

The painting on the canvas is a wizard in a black robe, with fair skin and an elegant figure.

It was the wizard he had glimpsed before.

The servant received Sexitus' order and retreated respectfully.

Sexitus saw the captured wizard.

After being suppressed by witch power, he looked no different from ordinary people.

"do you know who he is?"

Sexitus cut to the chase, and he said no nonsense: "Tell me who he is, and you can leave alive."

The young emperor set his eyes on the wizard in front of him, looking forward to it.

"he……"

The wizard spoke, his voice was like an old bellows, he was still panting a few times.

However, Sexitus didn't mind. The expectation in his heart had reached its peak, and he asked eagerly, "Who is he?"

"He..." The wizard looked at the emperor timidly, and then at the painting.

"He...he's not a wizard."

Sexitus raised his eyes and looked straight at the wizard in front of him with sharp eyes, "Then, who is he?"

Not a wizard?

That's better.

Sexitus thought, almost smiling.

"I do not know who he is."

When the wizard said this sentence, he changed his previous hesitation and became very sure: "There is no such person in the wizard, he is not a wizard. I don't know who he is."

These words were like a basin of ice water, extinguishing Sexitus' enthusiasm and expectations.

His expression turned cold immediately, "Are you sure?"

The young emperor fully showed his moodiness, and his voice was soft: "You know, now is not the time to lie. I understand your good intentions to protect your companions, but now, maybe you should consider protecting yourself first."

The wizard's answer remained the same. He insisted: "This man is not a wizard. I don't know who he is."

Sexitus did not give up easily, he threatened and lured for a while, and the wizard's answer never changed.

Judging by the wizard's expression and tone, he wasn't lying.

"Are you sure you've dealt with all wizards?"

The wizard nodded affirmatively: "That's right."

Sexitus was silent for a while, then he described Xie Yi's appearance slowly, and asked indifferently: "Then, who is he?"

The wizard seemed to be hesitant, but soon, he spoke.

"He, he is our leader."

"Really?" Sexitus showed an expression of disbelief, he raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile: "A leader who loves ordinary people?"

The wizard took a deep breath. He seemed quite dissatisfied with this matter, and immediately said, "Do you know why he is wearing a mask?"

He didn't need Sexitus to answer, he took it himself: "Because he is disfigured." The wizard said angrily: "It's nothing at all, but the leader dare not see people with his true colors because of this, and even fell in love with him." an ordinary man!"

The wizards continued to talk a lot, and seemed to have a lot of problems with their leader.

In the end, he concluded: "The leader's face was burned in the fire, and then he seemed to be a different person. You must not take off his mask, otherwise he will fly into a rage."

Sexitus listened quietly, without expressing any opinion.

"Keep him for now."

After leaving, he said to his attendants: "He is still useful, but don't give him special treatment."

It was already late at night, and Sexitus walked alone in the dark corridor, recalling the glimpse of that night in his heart.

With fair skin, red lips, elegant posture, and fleeting existence, she looks like an elf in the forest.

"...Who exactly are you?"

He muttered to himself, hope and despair intertwined in his mind.

Could it be that the so-called wizard was just his illusion, and there was no such a person in fact?

After all, Sexitus' heart is as hard as iron, and love is even more impossible for him. Rather than falling in love with a person, falling in love with a phantom imagined by himself is more credible.

"Do not……"

He dismissed the guess, but was indeed more distraught.

His accumulated anger needed a place to vent out, and it just so happened that his worries had completely disappeared.

As it happens, he can use the disfigured wizard leader to operate.

Create another fire, let him relive his nightmare, take away his mask, and let him expose the scars he wants to cover up in full view.

This must be very interesting.

he thinks.

·

Xie Yi habitually studied until late at night.

He worked at his desk, made one conjecture after another, overthrowing them again and again.

Raising the dead seemed like an impossible task.

He sighed, stood up, and walked over to Langlock's lying body.

Under the effect of witchcraft, he looked as if asleep, so alive.

However, when looking at Langlock's face, what Xie Yi thought of was not the past between them.

Instead, what came to his mind was the appearance of Sexitus.

He and Langlock are so similar in appearance...Suddenly, Xie Yi realized his thoughts, and he took a step back in shock.

Randomly, a sense of guilt welled up in his heart. He reached out and stroked Langlock's cold cheek lightly, his tone full of apology: "I'm so sorry."

He shouldn't have thought that way.

Xie Yi took a deep breath, no matter how similar Sexitus and Langlock are, he shouldn't associate them.

What's more, even if Lanlock is excluded, Sexitus is only this year, and Xie Yi is already 28, he is ten years older than Sexitus, Sexitus is completely a child to him, how can he Have this idea?

Xie Yi felt guilty for his distracting thoughts.

He shouldn't have such thoughts at all!

Lan Locke was right in front of him, Xie Yi turned his head away as if evading, and left in a hurry.

Instead of going up to the top of the tower to rest as usual, he went to the garden of the palace.

He needs time to calm down.

As soon as Xie Yi left, a hidden attendant quietly reported the news to Sexitus.

Sexitus' plan was not originally set for today, but he desperately needed a place to vent his disappointment, not to mention that this was also an appropriate opportunity.

Without hesitation, he immediately issued the order.

The whole palace started running quietly.

Xie Yi stayed in the garden worriedly for a long time, and only after he finally calmed down did he start to walk back.

However, it didn't take long before the maid who was in charge of delivering his meals ran towards him panting, panicking, "Your Excellency! The tower... the tower is on fire!"

Xie Yi's original calm mood was suddenly broken: "What?!"

The maid caught her breath and repeated: "The tower is on fire!"

Xie Yi had already started running towards the tower, and his easy-going posture had completely disappeared.

—Langlock's body is still inside!

When Xie Yi's back gradually disappeared, the terrified maid's expression calmed down.

She calmly adjusted her pleated skirt, and walked away dignifiedly.

The light of the fire could already be seen, and there was a lot of noise around the tower. The servants were noisily holding buckets of water to put out the fire. However, the fire was too big. These were just a drop in the bucket and would not do much at all.

The soaring flames enveloped the entire tower, and the original black tower wall also turned red.

The fire made everything red, and even if you were far away, you could feel the heat of the flames on your cheeks.

Sexitus watched Xie Yi's back, thinking with great interest: Will you go in?Or not to go in?

"Ah, my brother really loves you, are you sincere to him?"

Regardless of whether the wizard gets in or not, Sexitus' plan will not be disrupted, but if he does, the play will be better.

As a behind-the-scenes manipulator and audience, Sexitus occupied an excellent viewing point, admiring everything that happened in front of him.

Xie Yi didn't make him wait too long.

The fire is too big, and Xie Yi's water polo technique is not enough to extinguish the flames at once. If the water is not big enough, then pouring water on such a big fire will not only have no effect on extinguishing the fire, but will make the flames burn more and more vigorously.

He can't do that.

Xie Yi thought about it calmly, and finally decided to go in by himself.

Of course, he didn't intend to die, he was quite sure of his abilities, and after casting enough spells on his body, he broke into the burning tower.

Seeing the figure of the wizard disappear into the flames, Sexitus smiled leisurely: "Well, true love."

Langlock's body is on the second floor, and Xie Yi arranged a magic circle to protect it when he left, so it should not be damaged yet.

But if the magic power in the magic circle is exhausted, it will be hard to say.

Although the unbearable high temperature and thick smoke were blocked by the spell and would not be fatal, they were still enough to make Xie Yi panic.

By the time Xie Yi struggled to reach the second floor and passed through many obstacles to reach Langlock's body, the magic circle he had arranged was already on the verge of collapse.

"fortunately……"

He immediately put Langlock's body into the space ring, turned around and ran out.

Xie Yi calculated the route calmly, avoided a few falling beams without any danger, and successfully left the tower.

However, the moment he came out again, a servant rushed over in a panic: "Your Excellency! Are you all right!"

As he spoke, he knocked off the mask on Xie Yi's face as if unintentionally.

Xie Yi's mask was already on the verge of falling due to the fire scene just now, before he had time to hold it steady, he was hit hard by this servant and immediately fell to the ground.

Sexitus, who had been watching the development of the situation with nothing to do with himself, stood up abruptly.

——As the mask fell off, the wizard's figure, which was originally blurred like a wisp of black mist, immediately became clear.

It wasn't the expected mottled face due to disfigurement, but the face he thought about day and night.

Black robe, straight back, white skin, red lips, black eyes.

……how is this possible? !

Sexitus almost lost his composure and overturned the tea.

This is obviously, this is his wizard!

Why... obviously...

【He's not a wizard, I don't know who he is】

[The leader was disfigured in the fire, he cared about this very much, that's why he fell in love with an ordinary person]

That guy lied to him? !

no... not right...

【Since the leader burned his face, he seems to be a different person】

[Don't take off his mask, or he will fly into a rage]

Sexitus had a clue, but now was not the time to think about it.

After a short period of disbelief, Sexitus immediately thought of what happened just now and before. The wizard rushed into the fire without hesitation, just to save Langlock's body.

And he didn't know anything at that time, so he said "true love" like a comment.

...true love...true love...

Sexitus gritted his teeth, he wished he could crush the word.

Damn!

He crushed the teacup in his hand violently, and the splashed liquid wet his cuffs.

Strong jealousy and unwillingness entangled in his heart like a poisonous snake, Sexitus looked at Xie Yi's empty hands, and thought happily: The fire is too big, Langlock has been burned to ashes, and he can't take it away at all. It's coming out, isn't it?

His thoughts turned quickly, and soon, he suppressed all his emotions in his heart.

He got up and strode in the direction of the wizard, the expression on his face became anxious and panicked at the right time.

It's all right, he thought, it's not too late.

Langlock is dead, what is a dead man?

Xie Yi's mask was dropped, but the servant quickly picked up the mask and returned it to him.

He seemed terrified that he had offended the wizard, and from the look on his face, he seemed about to faint from fright.

Xie Yi should have felt angry or unhappy, but in fact, he had no time to take care of such trivial things now.

Due to the critical situation just now, he didn't have time to think about it. However, now that the matter has been resolved, he has leisure. After simply considering the whole matter, he came to a conclusion:

The fire was not an accident.

Absolutely not, and it can't be.

It is a carefully planned conspiracy.

The tower is where Xie Yi studies and lives daily. There are very few servants. Xie Yi doesn't like to be disturbed by others, and he never lets those servants go upstairs.

And Xie Yi almost never uses candles for lighting, he usually uses lighting.

In addition, the tower itself is a stone building, only the internal partitions and furnishings are wooden, and there are not many.

How did the fire start when there was no source of ignition and there were not many combustibles?

It can't be an accident.

And its planner doesn't need to think too much, it must be Sexitus.

The young Emperor whom Langlock had designated as his puppet.

But... what good would it do him?

The servants were still busy putting out the fire, and there was a lot of noise everywhere, but Xie Yi still clearly heard a shout, "Your Excellency!"

He looked up, and Sexitus was rushing over.

"Are you okay?"

This handsome young man has a pair of clear blue eyes, and it is easy for others to think that he is sincere.

Xie Yi wanted to use some means to punish him, because this conspirator almost destroyed Langlock's body.

However, when Sexitus really stood in front of him, he hesitated.

Even though his eyes just glanced over Sexitus' face, such a simple glance made his heart shake.

Do I... really want to do something to him?

Xie Yi held the mask tightly in his hand, he really wanted to put it on, but it was not clean now.

"You are not hurt?"

Sexitus asked with great concern: "I just saw you rushing into the fire, thank God, you came out."

Xie Yi turned his eyes away without looking at him, and said coldly: "Of course you should be thankful, because if I die inside, you will die too."

As he pondered, the two viewpoints in his mind clashed.

At first, he firmly believed that the fire was created by Sexitus, but now, he doubted himself again.

Is it really him?

Although the fire was full of doubts, it seemed unfair to Sexitus to arbitrarily believe that it was the work of Sexitus.

For if Sechtus really did the fire, what did he get?

Even if he burned Langlock's body, it would still anger Xie Yi. At that time, Xie Yi's revenge would obviously put Sexitus in a difficult situation or even a desperate situation.

So why would he do it?

Sexitus looked at Xie Yi, the wizard who took off his mask was standing in front of him, so close.

He is good at observing people's hearts, which used to be his capital for survival, so he discovered Xie Yi's hesitation almost immediately.

He doubted me, but he was undecided.

In fact, Sexitus coming here at this time is quite risky.

He didn't know Xie Yi before, the only thing he knew was the love between Xie Yi and Langlock, but this was of no use.

What if Xie Yi directly attacked him without saying a word?

Even if he could avoid it, there was a huge difference between wizards and ordinary people, and the danger was still too great.

The best way is to proceed according to the original plan, first control Xie Yi with the magic-locking gold chain, limit his mobility, strip his witch power, and then talk about other things.

After all, this fire is indeed very suspicious, and Xie Yi will definitely suspect him.

He didn't care about this before, because he had made follow-up preparations, and even if Xie Yi confirmed that he did it, he would no longer have the strength to resist.

But now, he doesn't want to do that.

Even though he didn't know Xie Yi well, he still had a feeling in his heart that vaguely told him that if he used coercive means, there really would be no possibility for him and Xie Yi.

In addition, there is an inexplicable premonition telling him, don't worry, he won't hurt you.

Sexitus trusted his intuition, he gave up his sure-fire plan, and went forward alone.

And the facts were indeed similar to his expectations.

The wizard didn't hurt him.

Now, he saw the wavering of the wizard again.

"I know you doubt me." Sexitus smiled wryly, and he looked at the wizard with extremely sincere eyes, just like any young man who has been doubted for no reason, with some hesitation in his blue eyes, "But, I didn't have to do it, you see, I don't get anything out of it, and I run the risk of pissing you off, so why should I?"

He seemed to have completely forgotten how he planned this plan and prepared all the backups, and just looked at Xie Yi pleadingly like a misunderstood person: "Besides, my life is still in your hands, if you I won't survive the next month without an antidote, why would I do this?"

Xie Yi was moved by Sexitus' words and gaze, and the guilt that made him feel welled up in his heart again, affecting his judgment.

Indeed, what Sexitus said was not wrong, this matter did more harm than good to him.

But...a thought flashed through Xie Yi's mind quickly, but he didn't catch it in time.

Xie Yi couldn't care less, he looked at Sexitus carefully, trying to find some clues from his face.

However, Sexitus's expression and expression were extremely perfect. All emperors were born performers, and Sexitus was the best among them.

Even though he is only this year, his past experience has allowed him to control any subtle expression on his face as he likes.

And this successfully confused Xie Yi.

He already had an odd liking for Sexitus, and now Sexitus' performance was flawless.

forget it.

Xie Yi didn't really believe in Sexitus, but he didn't want to care about it anymore.

Langlock's body was not really damaged, and Xie Yi himself was not injured.

Let's stop here, facing Sexitus like this, Xie Yi doesn't want to go any further.

He glanced at Sexitus again, and sure enough, that sinful throbbing feeling reappeared.

He can't stay here any longer.

You must leave as soon as possible, and you cannot stay here any longer.

He had to pinch out this undeserved, sinful emotion.
