Although there are still many mysteries in the whole incident, things are also divided into priorities. Xilu Tia did not want to intensify the conflict. Regarding Garrett's proposal, she did not refute and just asked the other party about Woze District's deployment situation.
As the local tower guard Mage, he has the responsibility to ensure the safety and stability of the local area and not be affected by damage from Magic Creature and other foreign forces. However, daily security maintenance and management are not within the scope of the chief Mage Guild's responsibilities.
"The eleven towns and outer cities of Woze District have been inspected so far. Among them, the Magic Creature that broke in during the storm have been resolved. The World of Shadows erosion in the entire area is also within the monitoring range of the tower, and there are no loopholes." He said about the results of his recent busy work.
Facing this local powerful figure and ballast, Sylutia had some respect for him. After a few simple questions, he stopped and turned to the track that was about to be maintained.
Time is limited, and she cannot stay here to investigate the case forever. Although the city lord Gilson has some greedy behavior, if he wants to remove him from his position at this time, even Sylutia does not have such great power. Unless the evidence is conclusive, the other party will have no room for excuse.
Moreover, now Garrett has come out to speak for her, which makes the investigation even more difficult. The opponent is the local tower guard Mage. Not only does she have the strength of Fifth Order, but her group of Lightning School "Mage" also have fourth-level members. If a conflict is really to be provoked, the casualties will definitely be high, and she must also consider the safety of her team members.
Seeing that the situation was about to subside, the hungry people had received food, the tracks had been repaired, and all conflicts had been temporarily alleviated, Corsair stood up again.
"I have something extremely important to report. This matter concerns my dead friend Salan and many people who disappeared before Woze District." His voice attracted attention in the night wind.
Many people were quite dissatisfied with this voice that broke the calm. The matter could have been resolved peacefully, but why were there always people adding to the chaos and expanding the conflict?
Garrett frowned on the spot, resentment flashed in Gilson's eyes, Sylutia sighed, and pressed his hand to the hilt of the sword at his waist that had never been drawn out.
Now that someone has spoken, as a member of the Inspection Department, she cannot act like she is deaf and not hear. This is her responsibility and mission.
"I don't know if any of you know Salan, the young man who studied here more than ten years ago and has a warm and cheerful personality." Corsair spoke, white air curling up, and his straw-like dark brown hair trembled in the cold wind as he spoke.
"He was my friend and brother. We rode together in the wilderness and protected each other from the wind and rain."
"However, such a promising young man disappeared without warning ten years ago."
"At first I thought it was just an accident. After all, Magic Creature and monsters have never been separated from each other in the wilderness."
"But when I came to Woze District three years ago, I discovered that this kind of thing is not an isolated case. Almost every year, some outstanding young people disappear into the wilderness, but with their strength, they will not encounter so many accidents." Corsair continued to tell.
"Slowly, I discovered that these people had all received awards and gifts from the Lord of the City before they disappeared, and they were all people with humble backgrounds but good talents."
"After that, I specifically followed a young man who met the above conditions. He didn't know what he was about to experience, but I knew that his accident would come sooner or later."
"Sure enough, I found the attackers in the wilderness. They shuttled through the night at extremely fast speeds and knew the young man's location accurately. When they were about to kidnap the young man, I rushed out to stop them and finally saw their identity clearly."
"They are Blood Clan from the North of the Ice Sea, and they have also received the complete inheritance of the Blood Clan, and they have extremely strong combat effectiveness."
"After barely saving the young man, I continued the investigation and finally understood the whereabouts of these missing people."
"They were all plundered to the far north of the Ice Sea and transformed into new Blood Clan. If anyone continues to resist strongly, they will be tortured to death."
These words were like thunder exploding in the night wind. Everyone present looked at each other with doubts and doubts.
Gilson was furious on the spot, accusing Corsair of making it up completely and deliberately fabricating non-existent charges for personal vendetta.
But unfortunately, someone at the scene did remember the name Salan, and he happened to be a member of Lightning School.
"I studied in the same class as Salan before, and we made an appointment to go to Mirne District for further study, but then I went there and never heard from Salan again."
"To put it this way, it seems that I once knew a few classmates who disappeared, but it was many years ago and I gradually forgot about them."
As soon as the words spread, more people were discussing at the scene, and the situation that had calmed down became tense again.
Faced with Corsair's accusation, Gilson was so angry that his face turned red, his voice trembled, and he loudly reprimanded the other party for spreading rumors. Unfortunately, by this time, public suspicion had already arisen.
At this time Garrett could no longer stick to his previous idea. He waved silently and left with the Mage beside him.
Without the support of this powerful local figure, Gilson began to panic. He ordered Corsair to be arrested and ordered that this was all fabricated and framed. Didn't many of the local graduates become big shots? There were scattered disappearances. Could it be that he was responsible for all the accidents in the wilderness?
It's a pity that in this case, the confidence is really insufficient. When Inspection Department members surrounded them, the city guards were also wavering. If what Corsair accused was true, wouldn't their resistance be the same as treason? Even if they die, their death will be in vain and their families will be harmed.
Seeing that the situation was going to be bad, Gilson finally couldn't bear it anymore. He took out a hidden blood-red Magic Orb. As its light lit up, his body turned into flowing blood and rushed into the night sky. He dropped several specially made bombs during the flight, trying to blow up the orbit and delay the cover.
At the critical moment, Sylutia shot out several swift Flying Bird from its side, trying to intercept the bombs, but the opponent's movements were extremely fast, and they were about to lose track of them. A series of shining orange-red rays passed through the night sky, accurately hitting these bombs, and detonating them in advance.
Everyone looked back and found that it was Novaton and a group of engineers Mage who had arrived. The rays emitted by Mechanical Spider they controlled intercepted the bomb just now.
Without enough time to thank Novaton, Flying Bird controlled by Sylutia changed direction and continued to chase the escaping blood-red streamer. He also jumped up like lightning, chasing the opponent's figure.
The aura emitted by the blood-red stream of light in the night sky not only did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger, as if it was gradually transforming.
Finally, the blood-red light exploded in the air, reappearing the figure of Gilson City Lord, but this time his appearance changed drastically, his body became young and strong, his ferocious muscles were like earthworms swimming under the skin, his eyes also turned blood red, and his hair was fluttering.
The Castle"Aspect Power aura that he had before gradually disappeared during the transformation process, and all turned into Blood Law"Aspect Power.
Blood Serpent Devouring Authority" Ceremony? Sylutia thought silently in his heart.
This is a secret ritual that has existed since the Blood Dynasty era. It can convert the Castle "Aspect Power" one possesses into Blood Law, gaining powerful explosive power for use in dangerous battles. Fight or restore yourself, but the side effect is that due to the violation of the Castle" contract, you will no longer be able to obtain the blessing of Castle"Aspect Power from the Royal Authority system in the future.
Considering that the other party has no future, it is expected to use such a secret method.
Sylutia stopped in the air, quietly Levitation, his eyes closed slightly and then opened again, with a faint light flowing through them to gain insight into the other party's status and situation.
[Boiling Blood Mage](Fifth Order·Blood Law·Gold Steam)
The special Mage that combines two Aspect Power powers can use blood as Fire Seed "fuel to drive spells and machines, greatly increasing their power."
Although Gilson temporarily transformed into the form of the Blood Clan, he seemed to rarely use the abilities of the Blood Clan. He could not move as fast as those Blood Clan Viscount, and could not keep distance with Sylutia in terms of speed, which forced him to turn around and deal with the pursuer.
"You actually dare to catch up." When he said this, his face was ferocious and filled with unspeakable anger.
Thinking about it, after finally taking the position of the city lord, being able to easily gain benefits with the help of power, and also getting the long life of the Blood Clan, it is really a happy life.
If this disaster hadn't suddenly struck him and caused an accident, he could probably have stayed in this position for more than ten years. After he accumulated enough wealth, he could escape from the Mage Alliance and go to the Blood Clan territory in the north, where he would live a comfortable life for more than a hundred years. If he could make further progress in the future and become the Blood Clan Count of Sixth Order, he would be able to open up his own Blood Clan territory and become a prince.
It's a pity, it's a pity that such a beautiful thing was interrupted.
Gilson opened his palm, and the ring he wore shone with light, and then a large brass Magic Staff appeared in his hand. This Magic Staff had a round cake-like device on it. Under the stimulation of Gilson, a roaring sound erupted inside the device, and then it was aimed at Sylutia.
Red bullets were shot out one after another under the gush of compressed steam. When Sylutia tried to dodge, the bullets suddenly exploded beside her. The scattered shrapnel scratched Sylutia's covered arms, leaving streaks of blood.
[Steam Bullet](Gold Steam); Contains compressed steam inside, which can be triggered and exploded by the caster.
Seeing Sylutia injured, Gilson couldn't help laughing.
"I thought you were so powerful, but it's just that. You are so young, you are indeed Inspection Department gold-plated waste."
In response to this taunt, Sylutia did not answer, but looked curiously at the Magic Staff held in the opponent's hand, thinking about it in his mind.
Steam School"? I heard that Mage of this school is very good at Steam Engine related machinery and spells, and it was also prosperous for a while. Unfortunately, After Sun Furnace" developed the technology related to Fire Seed", it became the inferior replacement of Sun Furnace" and gradually declined. It is currently the 26th ranked faction of the Mage Alliance.
What Steam Engine" can do, Fire Seed Power Furnace created by Sun Furnace" can also do it, and it provides stronger power and can drive larger machinery. Facing the progress of the times, the ancient Steam Engine" can no longer keep up with practical applications.
Seeing that Sylutia didn't answer, Gilson felt as if he had been punched in cotton, feeling unspeakably suffocated. He decided to torture the girl, surprising her with how powerful he was, and watching her painfully begging for mercy in front of him, so that he could heal the unwillingness and anger in his heart.
I saw this Boiling Blood Mage holding Magic Staff high, and golden rays of light spread out behind him, which was the glory of Construct Spell.
It is like a golden door that unfolds, and then opens, revealing the complex steam pipes and mechanical gears inside. This should be the core secret technique Steam Furnace built when Gilson first advanced."
When it was revealed, six copper pipe spears stretched out from inside the furnace, aiming in the direction of Xilu Tia.
[Steam boiling·Heat Flow Spear]
The steam was circulated and compressed in the furnace, and their power was rising like anger, waiting for the moment to pour out. Facing this ready attack, Sylutia felt a sense of danger. Her body shifted instantly, as if pressing an accelerator button, leaving a faint afterimage in place.
Then the copper pipe in the furnace sprayed out a white boiling air gun, which instantly passed through Sylutia's position just now, leaving a pale white trail of thousands of meters in the air.
If you were hit by such a high-temperature air gun, half of your body would be blown to pieces on the spot and dissipated into boiling liquid.
Is this the inherited secret method of "Steam School"? It is indeed very powerful. If the preparation time was not too long and the locking ability was not good, she would probably have been tricked.
The attack missed Sylutia, which made Gilson angry. He controlled the furnace again, and the core inside it opened, and the boiling white gas exploded in the air, spreading in all directions indiscriminately.
Under such a wide-area attack, Sylutia didn't have a good way to dodge, so she could only resist forcefully. She opened her hands, and Mercury-colored silk threads danced wildly, quickly forming an oval cocoon on her side, wrapping herself up to protect herself, and then fell rapidly.
A few seconds later, she was out of the range of the boiling white mist. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, three Heat Flow Spear's were shot out from the white mist, one of which directly shattered the oval cocoon protecting Xilu Tia. In the critical situation, Sylutia avoided her body, but several hair strands were still torn in the high-temperature heat flow and turned into boiling liquid.
In the high-intensity confrontation, the shortcomings of Secret Speech and Aspect Power were finally exposed, that is, their lack of power. Although they have extremely extensive spell capabilities, their power is always difficult to compare with Gold Steam of the same level.
Even if Sylutia is a rare genius, this shortcoming of "Aspect Power" is difficult to make up for. It will probably take Fifth Order to merge with other Aspect Power before it can catch up with other Aspect Power.
While descending and dodging, Sylutia also used the inherited secret technique of Mithril Clock's school.
[Clock Dial Inscription·Anash Impact]
The huge ornate clock dial unfolded behind her, and then beams of light lit up, lighting up the moments on the clock dial one by one.
These light beams crisscrossed in the air, some penetrated into the white mist, and some hit the incoming Heat Flow Spear", greatly reducing its power.
After buying a certain amount of time, Sylutia took out three special potion inks and sprinkled them in the air. Following Sylutia's command, they quickly sketched and painted a beautiful swan, and then built arched door frames and city walls around this beautiful swan as the core.
[Spell·Swan Gate](Secret Speech)
One of the seven city gates forged by Swan King, it is also the last gate, guarding the deepest part of the royal city Purple Curtain Secret Chamber."
The magnificent virtual image of the city gate and city wall was displayed, and the powerful Heat Flow Spear only raised debris and tore cracks on the city gate, but still failed to break it.
After temporarily resisting the attack, Sylutia took a deep breath and looked into the distance. The gorgeous clock disk appeared again behind her, and then an eye made of blue flames descended.
[Clock Dial Inscription·Eye of Hulier]
This cold eye Pupil Vision lines Penetration steam mist, shines on that Steam Furnace, quickly analyzing the structure and power flow within it.
Although Gilson is Fifth Order, his rank is not Stability. Most of the previous Fifth Order were brought about by his position. Castle"Aspect Power" support, now transformed into Blood Law", there are no Blood Clan who actually advanced from low-level training Stability.
When Eye of Hulier was illuminated, Gilson felt an inexplicable panic. Although he didn't know what this eye could see, he still felt a threat. In desperation, he activated his spells and abilities repeatedly, and Heat Flow Spear shot down, smashing into the "Swan Gate" displayed there.
After several attacks, the Swan Gate was overwhelmed and shattered. At this time, Sylutia was once again exposed to the high-temperature steam spear.
She no longer stayed, and spread out the wings wrapped with electric light behind her back, quickly moving and running in the sky, making it difficult for Gilson to lock on, and several attacks fell into the air.
Then Sylutia flew farther and farther, reaching the end of the sky that was beyond Gilson's sight. At this time, Gilson no longer wanted to continue fighting. He was about to continue running away, but before he could go far, a bright ray shone down from above the clouds, leaving Penetration with a hollow scar at the mouth of a bowl.
How could it be so accurate? Gilson suppressed his shock, used the abilities of Blood Law and Aspect Power to restore his body to integrity, dodge in the air, and then showed Steam Furnace to resist.
After that, he controlled the brass air pipe to aim at the sky, and surging white air waves spurted out, rushing into the sky and scattering the accumulated stratus clouds. At this time, Gilson could also clearly see what was in the sky.
Sylutia is still Levitation in the air, and her black hair seems to be affected by static electricity, floating in the air one by one. Silver light runes flash in her eyes, locking on Gilson below, and behind the girl, there is a giant Beholder monster, with huge tentacles floating around its body, as if extending into the void, staring down.
At this moment, it opened its eyes and stared downwards. The dazzling electric light was flowing in its pupils like thunder.
[Thunder Demon Eye](Fifth Order·Alien Star·Vaulted Sky)
After devouring and absorbing the power of many living creatures, Beholder, who has been traveling in the sea of stars for thousands of years, controls the power of Ionization floating in the atmosphere and becomes the controller of the sky."
