Advent of the Archmage Chapter 115: The biggest illusion in the world

Bell has a nightmare.

In the dream, he came to a dark place where he could not see his fingers. He felt very cold, extremely cold, and his magic robe that could resist the cold was totally useless. His body couldn't help but choke. .

It doesn't stop there. He feels howling snow and ice all around. These cold things seem to have life. He actually drilled through his mouth, nose, ears, and even the pores on his body, and then walked inside him. Dissipate the last breath of heat from his body.

Instinctively, Bell wanted to use his spells for heating, but he found that he couldn't find his 'Zalach', (note: the name of Bell's wand). Not only that, all the magic equipment he carried was gone. He didn't touch any of them, and he wanted to cast them empty-handed, but he found that the magic energy in his body had disappeared.

He seems to be abandoned by magic.

"What the **** is wrong with me? Where am I? Why is this so?" Bell was extremely panicked.

In this desperate situation, Bell endured the unbearable cold torment. He didn't know how long after that, Bell suddenly found that he couldn't feel the cold.

The strange breath continued to pour into his body, but the bitter sensation disappeared, and he seemed to feel a sense of fullness.

"What's going on? Am I dying? Is it time to return?" Bell couldn't understand his situation.

Time continues to pass, and gradually, Bell finds that instead of dying, he becomes more and more energetic, and the coldness in his body ... No, to be precise, there is more and more cool breath, he feels His energy is rare and abundant.

"How is this possible? I'm almost 70, it's twilight, but how do I feel like I'm 20?" Bell couldn't figure it out, but suddenly, Bell felt a flash of light in his mind. Something emerged from his memory.

'Necromagic ..... Immortal ..... Eternal Life, Shandu ... wait, I remember, I am in the magic tower of Shandu, I am now in his The potion pool receives the transformation of the immortal body. Is it about to be transformed now? "Bell's heart was so happy.

He felt his body carefully.

Some sense of numbness, which is far less sensitive than the previous body. What is warm, cold, and even tactile becomes extremely dull. The only clear thing is that ubiquitous cool breath, under the nourishment of this breath , His spirit is getting more and more full.

"Is this the power of darkness? It doesn't look as scary as you think," Bell said secretly.

The cold breath continued to pour into his body. Bell felt very comfortable. He relaxed his body, thinking nothing, and quietly waiting for his body to be transformed.

But things haven't gone as smoothly as he thought!

"Boom ~" A loud noise awakened Bell: "What happened? Didn't Shandu say he would be guarded by the side? Why is it so loud?"

As soon as the thought rose, Bell suddenly felt that his body was pinched by a force, which pulled him out of the coolness of his arms in a brutal way.

"Ah ~~~ What's going on? What's going on!" Bell felt that his body was exposed to the air, and he tried hard to open his eyes, but he found that his eyes were useless and he had nothing. Invisible.

Just then, a voice came into his ear, a young man.

"Oh, Master Bell, you now look uglier than the rotting corpse in the grave."

The sound is a bit familiar. Bell once heard it. He tried to find his own memory which was becoming a little chaotic, and wanted to remember the owner of the sound.

At this time, another more familiar voice sounded: "My Excellency Bell, I did not expect you to finally embark on this dark path."

The voice is female, round and clear, and extremely pleasing. In Bell's memory, only one woman has such a voice, and that is Anthony's most proud disciple, Moira.

When the identity of the other party was identified, there was a flash of light in Bell's heart. One by one, his confused thoughts finally connected. He exclaimed: "Moira, Link, are you? No, how is it possible, how is it possible for you? Breaking into the Tower of Magic? Is Anthony also here? Where is Sando? Where is Sando? "

A weak, hoarse voice came over, and it was Shandu: "Bell, I failed."

"Tell me how many magicians have come? Did everyone at the East Valley Magician Academy come? Also, how long has time passed?" Bell still can't figure out, even if the six-member council member of the college arrives , But a level 5 necromancer made up his mind to hide in the magic tower and not go out, and the opponent was unlikely to attack in a short time.

Sandu smiled bitterly: "No, only the two of them. Time has passed in 40 minutes."

"But you have a magic tower ..." Bell was more frightened.

Sando had to answer, but was interrupted by Vera's voice: "Master Bell, there is no need to ask the bottom line. As a respected master in the college, you have chosen to transform your body into darkness Lich, this has completely abandoned the glorious tradition of the Academy. I must take you back to the Academy for trial. "

This involves the secrets of the glorious electorate. Verora does not want to expose Link's identity too soon.

Bell was shocked and shook his head desperately: "No, I can't do this. I'm not hurting, I just want to live. Mo Ni (a familiar name of a Moira acquaintance), please, please let me go, I promise to remain anonymous, never to appear in the glorious world, and I promise not to study dark magic for a lifetime. "

After returning to the college, he's completely dead. Even if he can't die, he will definitely lose his freedom forever, and he will never be able to touch magic again. It would be better to kill him directly.

"I'm sorry, Master, this is not something I can decide." Verola refused decisively.

Bell doesn't give up: "Moni, please, I can't go back. I don't want to die. I still have too many magic problems. I still have too many regrets. Moni , Let me go, okay? I swear I wo n’t touch the black magic again. This time, this time, it gives me a chance to live. "

Virola seemed to be a little soft-hearted, and she was silent for a while.

She is a light angel, but she was a mortal before she was awakened. When she was studying magic, Bell as an elder gave her a lot of help. Even now, she still carries a magic bracelet This was a gift that Bell gave her as an elder at her ritual.

Everything was all affection. Verola was very clear about the fate he would face after taking Bell back. For a time, she felt a little intolerable.

Of course, this is not enough to change her decision, she just doesn't know how to refuse Bell's request.

In this silence, Bell seemed to see hope, and his tone eased: "Mo Ni, we have known each other for twenty-three years. I grew up watching you, and you also clearly know that I am Yes, sometimes my temper is not very good, but I have never done anything against my heart. This time, I studied the magic of necromancers and did not hinder others ... let me go, please? "

Virola still didn't say a word, but it was Link who answered Bell.

"Master Bell, I don't think you understand one thing."

"What's the matter?" Bell couldn't see Link, but he knew if he could be free today, they must agree at the same time, so he was very humble.

Linke smiled slightly and continued: "Your mistake is that you didn't recognize the influence of dark power on you. In fact, the black magicians who fell into the dark initially held similar to you Some of them are just curious, others are just to get immortality like you, most of them haven't thought about the world. Would you start out of curiosity about black magic, Shando?

Yes, curiosity. Link is also curious about dark magic. He even intercepted the demonized rune of Tarouvis in preparation for secret research, but after Bell's incident, Link clearly Seeing the repulsion of the dark power by the shining world, I also clearly see the erosion of the dark power on people.

He wants to understand now. When he returns this time, he will find a suitable opportunity to hand over the demonized runes.

Otherwise, he may be able to gain some knowledge from the demonized runes, but if exposed, Verora will lose the trust of this light angel.

A light angel who can burn his soul wholeheartedly for him, a demonized rune that can give him knowledge but may induce him to fall into darkness, and any sane person will choose the former.

You can never have both fish and bear's paw.

On the other side, Shandu opened his mouth and tried to argue, but in the end, he was silent. Yes, at first, he was really just curious, but once this road came up, there was no way to turn back, Can only go further and further.

Bell couldn't see Shandu's movements, he still said, "So what? That's because those magicians are weak-willed, I'm different, I'm a master of magic, I can control myself!"

Linke smiled again. Hundreds of years ago, the legendary magician Bryant once said, ‘the mortal self-control is the biggest illusion in the world! ’

Mortal people often think that they are very powerful and can control their behaviors 100%, and can also control the consequences of these behaviors, but in fact, this is just a beautiful illusion, even Link, he is not knowing Unconsciously, he was also caught in the mystery of magic. If it wasn't for Verora's move to wake him up, he would be crazy about magic in the future.

Seeing Bell's confident appearance, Link revealed a fact: "Master Bell, I say one thing. The potion you just used to transform the Lich's body contains at least a hundred lives. If you don't believe it, you can ask Shandu. "

"Sando, is this true?" Bell was also startled.

Shandu was silent for a while, and finally admitted: "In order to neutralize the corrosiveness of the power of darkness, I put in the blood essence in the potion. In order to refine these essences, I spent a ton of blood, which is human. Blood, but I use slave blood. "

A person has about 5 liters of blood, a ton of blood, and about 1,000 liters, which means 200 lives, which is twice as much as Link's estimate.

"Slave blood? Really sounding." Link chuckled and looked at Bell again: "Did you see it? Your first step in gaining immortal life, there are 200 lives killed for you, this is your mouth 'No harm'? "

"But I didn't know about these," Bell justified.

"Okay, don't tell me!" Verora couldn't hear anymore, she looked at Bell with great disappointment: "Master, you may not know it, but when you heard 200 lives killed for you At that time, you did n’t have any guilt and guilt, all you wanted was to shirk responsibility. You have changed, you have been corroded by darkness, and I will take you back to East Valley College for trial! ”

Bell lost his voice, and he immediately knew that he had no more chance, and finally lost control, and yelled, "Damn! You arrogant juniors, I am a member of the College Six-member Council, and I ordered you to let me go!"

This is already a pure emotional release, which is equivalent to nonsense.

Linke looked at Verola, and spread his hands, "He's broken down."

"Linke, what do you think? Where did you come from? I'm the world's most famous magic master!" Bell growled.

Linke naturally ignores such crazy words, but Verola cannot listen. As a light angel, the dignity of the Lord's elect must not be violated.

She looked at Bell and said, "Bell, Link ’s identity is far beyond your imagination, please be careful!"

"Go to death! Give me to die!" Bell lost his mind completely.

"Let's take them back."

Severely injured, the Bell Lich's transformation ceremony was interrupted, and the imprisonment was lost. Both lost their strength. It was easy to take the two of them back, and they were tied up. Then Verora released a flying magic. Without delay, gallop all the way back to the East Valley Magic Academy.

Not long after the two left, two more shadows came to the Black Magic Tower. After observing for a while, one of the shadows said, "I didn't expect that they could defeat the mountain with the Magic Tower."

"It was unexpected. But my friend, it might be a bad thing, isn't it?"

"It does. It seems we need to find a chance to help Bell."
