Throne of Magical Arcana

Like a gust of cold wind, he laughed and said: "What's the use of recognizing me? You will die here in the end. I had planned to kill you a long time ago and cut off all clues, but you accepted the mission and went to the vast ice field, It is difficult to determine your location, so it has been delayed until now."

Without waiting for Yakov to answer, he laughed loudly and said: "If you want to resent, you should resent your boss Yakov. If he hadn't been involved in this matter, you should have enjoyed your life. Now, even if you don't I don't know, I won't let you go, cry, tremble, despair, and enjoy the last period of life!"

After laughing smugly, the cell became quiet again, and there was no movement at all. Even if Yakov and others insulted, taunted and begged for consent, they did not get any response.

"...I will definitely escape, and one day I will wring your heads off and throw them to the ice bears!" Yakov stammered without a hint of shyness at this time, and brought the warrior's "taunting" effect into full play. , but gradually, he was the only voice left in the cell, and the mercenaries who cooperated with him before became quiet and silent.

After being scrutinized by several strange eyes, Yakov stopped "taunting", looked around the mercenaries leaning helplessly in the cell, and saw several pairs of indifferent and slightly hateful eyes.

With a chill in his heart, his rough voice became low: "You resent me? Resent me for involving you in Sir Duda's affairs?"

"We didn't do anything, but we were arrested, and we will die at any time. Boss Yakov, do you think we will be unwilling? Will we be aggrieved and angry? At least, you have to let us know what it is for Something!" Yakov's deputy Huck asked bitterly, although he was still called Yakov's boss, but there was no respect in his tone.

"Why didn't you say that you offended Sir Duda? Then I would definitely not choose to stay!"

"Asshole, you have to bear what you do yourself!"

"Enough! You are enough!" Anna screamed violently, her voice trembling with anger, "When Boss Yakov became a knight before, what did you say? He was willing to let us be his knight servants and stewards At that time, what did you say? Boss Yakov never thought of implicating us, it is purely that the villain Duda is too hateful!"

She was so angry that she burst into tears, she really couldn't accept that the usually harmonious and happy mercenary team would become like this!

"Is it true that, as sister Katrina said, only at the most desperate and dangerous moment can one truly see a person's character?" She subconsciously recalled a philosophical sentence that Katrina usually said ——This is a sentence that Lucien made up when he applied "time is poor and the season is now" to the opera.

Anna's screams and accusations made the cell quiet, and then, Yakov's dull voice sounded: "It's okay for you to resent me, but at this time, is the infighting about to give up hope of escape?"

"But there is a great knight..."

"Sir Duda hasn't shot yet, he must be more terrifying!"

"There is no hope!"

Yakov said calmly but firmly: "Only by trying can you know if there is a chance of escape. Sir Duda's previous words were obviously intended to provoke us, wanting to see the internal strife under our despair and the ugliness in our hearts As far as I know, he likes to appreciate the despair and pain of others, so even if he dies, I will not let him be proud, how about you? Do you want to die amidst his ridicule?"

"Well said!" There was clapping applause outside the cell, and Sir Duda said with a smile, "Yakov, I remember that there is a very beautiful lady in your team, who is more beautiful than most noble ladies. Pretty, you seem to like her very much?"

"What are you going to do?" Yakov gripped the iron railing tightly with both hands.

Anna said angrily and fearfully: "It has nothing to do with Sister Katrina! She joined us halfway and doesn't know anything!"

"I like to destroy the 'things' they like a little bit in front of others, and appreciate their expressions and reactions. This reason is enough." Duda laughed wildly after seeing Yakov and Anna's fierce reaction, " There are two adult werewolves going to get her, they are both very strong, maybe she will not be able to bear it, hahaha."

"Bastard!" Yakov shook the iron cage until his eyes were bloodshot.

Anna shook her head in horror: "You are a devil, you are a real devil!"

According to legend, demons love to kill and destroy.

"This is the greatest compliment to me." Du Da was not angry at being insulted at all, but was very proud. Then, he laughed and said, "By the way, I am in a good mood, so I decided to advance your death time to now. That way you won't have a chance to escape."

Hearing these words, the blood on the faces of the mercenaries faded away, and the morale that had just been inspired by Yakov completely turned into despair.

…………

The Shahran Empire is vast and sparsely populated, and the manors here are much larger than those around Rentat, especially the quiet manor that seems to have merged into the darkness.

"Sir Duda's manor is here." On top of an evergreen tree, Viscount Calendia in a black shirt and red coat stood on the tip of the branch as if weightless, and the black cloak behind him swayed up and down with the branch And shake slightly.

Katrina floated beside him without saying a word. With a movement of her mental strength, a black and white vertical eye appeared in front of her. The pupil of this eye was entirely composed of black magic patterns, which looked mysterious and weird.

She follows the code of conduct of a magician and tries not to engage in unprepared battles.

"Mysterious eyes?" Viscount Karenldia looked sideways, and a few illusory bats flew out of his body, sneaking into the manor together with the "mysterious eyes".

After a while, most of the scenes in the manor were displayed in their "eyes", including posts, traps and ambushes, the number of enemies, their distribution, and their general strength.

"Several places are surrounded by mysterious forces, and you have to get close to detect the situation inside." Katrina never talked nonsense during the battle, and explained to Viscount Caronaldia in a concise manner. Then, her body gradually became transparent and disappeared in the into the night sky.

"The guys patrolling and guarding outside can't find us at all..." Viscount Karenldiya said lazily, his body slowly blending into the darkness, "By the way, be careful of the smell of savage werewolves."

Those defenders and arrangements were at most knight and priest level, and they were like paper in front of two strong men close to the high level. On the contrary, a few wandering adult werewolves made them more vigilant.

The two quickly entered the manor, as if walking among a group of puppets, they came to one of the places surrounded by mysterious forces, the hall of the main house of the manor!

The weak fluctuations disappeared in a flash, and Katrina used the super magic technique of "spell silence" to cast the "secret magic eye" again, allowing it to sneak into the main house through the gap.

…………

An altar made of unknown material appeared in the eyes of Yakov, Anna and others, and long swords, daggers and other weapons were randomly placed on the ground.

The whole body of the altar was pitch black, and hideous faces were carved in all directions. They had two horns on their heads, distorted faces, protruding teeth, and continuously dripping red blood.

After the blood fell on a circle of complex runes at the bottom of the altar, a faint mist of blood rose up, exuding a bloody but sweet fragrance.

And in the middle of the altar, there was carved a vaguely humanoid statue, but there were two pointed devil horns growing on its forehead.

Its crimson eyes look very strange against the overall darkness, as if just looking at it, a strong hatred will rise in the depths of its heart, full of the desire to kill and destroy everything.

Yakov, Anna and the others staggered to the open space in front of the altar, saw the dark statue, inhaled the sweet and bloody smell, and faintly felt agitated deep in their hearts.

Duda, who looked sullen and arrogant even with a beard, showed a cruel smile: "There are long swords, short swords and daggers on the ground, these are your weapons, and your enemies are your companions, whoever survives last Come down, and I'll let him go."

"Hmph, who would believe your words? This chaotic person who worships demons!" Anna snorted coldly, but she also quietly stepped on a dagger, after all, weapons are needed when escaping.

Duda clapped his palms, and a werewolf with sharp teeth and a knight with steady steps came out from the corner.

He laughed and said: "You can choose not to believe my words, but in that case, your opponents will be them. There are a total of twelve strong knights. Oh, one of them is a great knight. You think it is a victory over them." The hope is greater, or the possibility of my promise being effective is greater?"

Yakov looked at a young man with a giant sword in both hands, and his heart sank slowly. This is the great knight who captured him alive. He also has the blood of the "Frost Giant", but he is completely, thoroughly crush yourself.

Can you defeat them and escape? When both Yakov and Anna couldn't help showing a hint of despair, the other mercenaries were even more unbearable. Someone said in a trembling voice: "Sir Duda, Yakov is a knight, and all of us combined can't defeat him." !"

"Huck!" Anna glared at the deputy leader of the mercenary team.

Yakov's face turned slightly pale. One of his best brothers planned to kill him in exchange for the hope of surviving?

"Don't worry, the power of Yakov's blood has been imprisoned by me. He only has the strength of a high-ranking knight attendant." Du Da smiled.

The faint blood mist became thicker and thicker, and bloodthirsty light appeared in the eyes of many mercenaries. Yes, it was Yakov who caused him to fall into this situation, and he would be relieved by killing him!

"Yakov, it's all your fault. If you feel guilty, don't resist and give us the hope of living." Huck panted heavily, and picked up a long sword.

Amidst the clanging sound, the rest of the mercenaries also picked up their weapons.

"No!" Seeing their ugly performance, Anna shook her head and screamed in despair and desolation.

Yakov looked at the mercenaries standing opposite him, and fell into an unspeakable silence.

"Yakov, don't try to be a good person. If you don't survive, then I will give some kind of Ms. Katrina to my werewolf friends. They like such a beautiful girl the most." Duda added fuel to the fire.

Yakov made a loud noise in his throat, and raised a long sword with difficulty.

A satisfied smile appeared on Du Da's face, and the statue on the altar seemed to be a little clearer.

…………

"Actually, I don't think that group of brainless werewolves know how to appreciate a beautiful face. For them, females are the same." Viscount Karenldiya refuted Duda's words leisurely.

Katrina suppressed her anger, blessed herself with a mechanized mind, and said coldly and indifferently with her eyes: "It seems that Duda is the host of the devil worship ceremony. As long as he is caught, we can find clues."

"Well, there are no other strong people around, but two great knights." Viscount Caronaldia adjusted his bow tie, as if he was going to a banquet.

…………

Ana shed tears of pain and despair, clutching the dagger in both hands, intending to fight to the death.

Her mind was slightly dizzy from the smell of blood, and she seemed to be unable to control her hatred, wanting to kill all those ugly guys.

Du Da took a few steps back and stood in front of a door painted with strange patterns, then raised his hand and said loudly: "The feast of killing and betrayal begins!"

A layer of blood emerged from him, and the lost strength of Anna and other mercenaries quickly returned.

Anna raised the dagger, and swung it at Huck in pain and hesitation.

No, you can't kill each other!

Kill him, he is a hateful traitor!

no, do not want!

In the desperate struggle, she suddenly heard a loud bang, and then felt the scorching temperature. The door of the hall was torn apart under a huge fireball!

"Lucien's fireball?" Duda stared.

Affected by the sound of the explosion, Anna and the others stopped the fight that had not yet started, and saw a handsome man with blond hair and golden eyes walking in the dark night outside the door, more handsome than any prince she had imagined, and beside him Half a step behind was a beautiful blond woman, bright and beautiful, and the two of them walked in like they were at a ball.

"Sister Katrina?" Anna thought in a daze.

Yakov and others also couldn't believe their eyes.

At this time, black wolf shadows quickly hit the two intruders—the werewolves reacted first and used "Evil Shadow Strike" because they smelled the most disgusting smell of vampires!

"Evil Shadow Strike" hit Viscount Karenldia and Katrina, and then they shattered like mirrors.

"Hehe." A chuckle sounded, and the shattered figures turned into illusory black bats, carrying a strong sense of deep sleep!

"terrible!"

"It's a trap!"

A werewolf fell down with heavy eyelids.
