"But Fa has already transformed into a plant. As long as this [True Seed] still exists, he can revive at any time. It's just that to accumulate the life force he had before, he still needs a very long time …"
Nonov sighed and stared at the green seed in his hand again.
• →,
This seed was about the size of an adult's fist, and there were complex plant patterns on it. He could even faintly sense a familiar spiritual force wave, as if there was a heavily injured life that was in deep slumber inside.
"The other party seemed to have intentionally let us go, stopping at the very last moment. Otherwise, none of us would have survived …"
"What do you think?" Nonov asked with a bitter smile.
"We still have the ultimate secret treasure!
If I'm forced into a corner, I'll definitely be able to heavily injure him … Eh? "
Marjorie said hatefully. Suddenly, her expression changed.
The sound of an item shattering came from Nonov's body. To be more precise, it came from his chest, where the final treasure was placed.
"What's going on?
Could it be … "An icy chill rose from the bottom of Marjorie's heart.
Nonov expressionlessly reached into his bosom and fished out a few pieces of broken metal. These pieces of metal still had dense radiation and complex patterns on them. They were clearly components of a high level Magic Tool.
"[Blade of Greedy]!
What was going on?
It's a High Rank Magic Tool! How could it suddenly shatter?! "Marjorie shrieked. Her voice was so sharp that it even scattered the clouds in the sky.
This high-grade magic tool was the ultimate treasure of the light Magi. It could charge itself and unleash a terrifying attack that could destroy a peak rank 3 Magus.
Hence, it was seen as the last trump card of the light Magi and was heavily protected.
Unless it was a life and death situation, it would not be used at all.
The Gargamel from before.
He was heavily injured by this ultimate secret treasure.
But now … Nonov looked at the shards of the blade in his hand, and suddenly felt that the glory and grandeur of the light Magi he had been protecting was crumbling.
'To be able to penetrate my defenses so easily and even destroy the Magic Tool [Blade of Avarice] without my knowledge, while reducing the fluctuations to the minimum and not causing any damage from the explosion, the opponent's strength …'
Nonov felt as if all the bones in his body had been pulled out, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He took a deep breath before continuing his speculation, "The opponent's strength.
I'm afraid he's already surpassed the limits of rank 3, and entered the Morning Star realm that we can't even fathom! "
"Rank... rank 4 Morning Star Magus!"
The old woman screamed, "Are you kidding me? On the south coast, a wizard of this rank … a wizard of this rank …"
She kept repeating, her voice growing fainter and fainter.
She had gradually come to believe in this theory. Perhaps only a rank 4 Magus above the Morning Star realm could break through their siege so easily, and even make them feel so powerless that they were in despair.
"Well.
What do we do after that?
What kind of attitude should I use to face that … Lord? "
After a long silence, Marjorie asked this very practical question.
"I don't know!"
Nonov smiled bitterly. "In any case, I only know that the entire situation on the south coast is probably going to undergo a huge change!
The only thing we can do is not to provoke the Farlier Family! "
In the end.
Nonov's expression turned extremely grave.
After opening the door, Krupp was immediately frightened by the terrifying speed.
"If we had traveled at this speed before, we wouldn't have been able to escape.
The light Magi probably didn't even have time to react.
Why … "
"Why did you deliberately slow down and let them catch up?
Am I right? "
Leylin leaned on the sofa in the carriage, his eyes narrowing slightly.
His face was half-covered by a mask, and no expression could be seen on it.
"Perhaps … Perhaps Lord Leylin wanted to show off his prowess. This can be seen from Lord Leylin's mercy towards the end!"
Darlie stuttered as she clutched at the hem of her dress.
"You're right!"
Leylin nodded approvingly. Darlie was an intelligent person, and her talent and character were quite good as well.
Due to the restrictions of the soul oath, she could not go against the will of the Farlier Family in the future, and would become a good helper for Krupp.
"These Magi are nothing to Lord Leylin, but is Lord Leylin planning for us?
In case you leave one day and rely on your previous intimidation to make it so that no one dares to provoke the Farlier family? "
Darlie guessed.
"Ancestor!
Are you leaving? "Krupp turned pale with fright.
"Yes!
The south coast is just too small.
It's too barren for me, and there's nothing worth paying attention to. If not for the fact that the Farlier Family is still here, and that I still have some grudges to settle, I wouldn't have returned. "
Leylin nodded, and then looked at the disappointed Krupp.
"After I leave, the revitalization of the Farlier Family will depend on you.
The reputation I've left behind isn't much, and the only thing worth relying on is your own strength. I'll teach you and Darlie well in this period of time … "
… …
The news of Leylin's reappearance did not shock most of the low-level Magi in the south coast.
What made them sigh with emotion was the sudden change in the guardian of Teljose City, as well as the strange death of Alric, a rank 3 Magus, along with his family and acolytes.
For these acolytes and rank 1 Magi, the world above was too far away, and even the transmission of information was blocked. Hence, they even thought that Alric had suddenly been cursed by an unknown existence.
In the Magus World, it wasn't unheard of for one's bloodline to be cursed due to an accident in an experiment or a wrong summon. However, the scope of the curse this time was much more terrifying.
Though their guesses were very close to the truth, they'd never thought that the one who had caused Alric's death was the Magus who had been on the wanted list, the Venomous Monarch Leylin!
To them, this name was just a symbol in a history textbook.
However, the higher-ups of the Magi, no matter what organisation they belonged to, were all deeply shaken. The tide did not stop, and instead seemed to be growing more intense.
The fall of Alric and his family was like a huge rock being thrown into a lake, causing huge waves in the south coast.
As a rank 3 Magus, Alric could be ranked in the top five of the light Magi alliance. However, he had been killed just like that, and even his family and acolytes had not been spared. The killer's tyrannical strength and ruthless methods left the light and dark Magi in fear.
What these Magi did not expect was that Alric's death was just the prologue. Afterwards, the higher-ups of the light Magi surrounded the killer and fought with him. Though the higher-ups of the light Magi tried their best to conceal the news, it still leaked out.
However, the Magi who heard the specifics of the situation sank into a strange silence.
The news was just too shocking, to the point that they thought it was fake news. Three peak Crystal Phase Magi had actually been seriously injured, and they had even lost the Golden Staff, Deep Sea Devil Algae, and many other treasures. Even the Blade of Avarice had been shattered into pieces!
This terrifying battle record caused the higher-ups of the south coast to be at a loss for words.
At the same time, news of Leylin's deeds spread like wildfire. Many Magus historians flipped through thick books, as if trying to find traces of Leylin in the historical records.
Never provoking Leylin and the Farlier family had become the strictest order. Not only the light Magi, but the various dark Magi organisations also strictly followed this.
In such an environment, a carriage pulled by a flaming skeletal horse slowly entered the borders of the Abyssal Bone Swamp.
"Caw caw …"
A few red-eyed ravens flew past, causing Leylin's eyes to reveal a look of reminiscence.
Now that he had retracted his aura, he was like an ordinary person. However, he would inadvertently reveal a noble aura, and one could tell with a glance that he was not ordinary.
The Abyssal Bone Swamp was the territory of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, and also one of Leylin's destinations.
As the place that had led him into the Magus Hall, Leylin still had some feelings for his alma mater.
Furthermore …
"Kroft, Bicky, Neela, Jayden, Dorotte, Nyssa …" Leylin slowly reported the names, "Though many of them might have disappeared, I still have to go take a look …"
After passing through the black forest, a large tomb appeared in front of Leylin's eyes.
At the side of the tall tomb at the centre, a few large rock gorilla sculptures suddenly came to life, "Intruders!"
An ear-piercing alarm sounded, and white skulls emerged from the soil, followed by torsos and bodies. The skeletons rippled with a dense aura of death, holding corroded metal weapons as they slowly surrounded Leylin and the rest.
"Ao ao …" A few twin-headed hounds growled softly, circling around Leylin and the rest. Large amounts of pus flowed from the gaps between their teeth.
"Those who dare to offend the dignity of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, you will know the price of blood!"
The largest rock gorilla roared, and the entire undead army began to attack.
"Wait a moment!"
A dignified voice sounded, accompanied by large amounts of green flames. Many figures began to emerge from the ground, their bodies emitting energy waves that were at least that of an official Magus.
"Director!"
The magical creatures immediately bowed to the person who had spoken, but what made Leylin surprised was that the person standing in front of the professors was a female Magus.
"Isn't Siley the director of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy?
So there's already a change? "
Surprise gathered in Leylin's eyes, and he curiously looked at the figure in front of him.
(To be continued …)
