Volume 3: The Vortex of Strife Chapter 195: The Enemy of Magic (I)

The snow and ice on the mountain gradually melted, and the road up the mountain also appeared at the foot of the "cat's eye". Cat's Eye had been in the mountains of the Duchy of Magini for several days, but due to the weather, he had to stay at a hotel at the foot of the mountain. The days when he couldn't move around made "Cat's Eye" feel more uncomfortable than the days of running around, because he was used to walking to distract himself from the pain in his joints.

The cats with folded ears on the shoulders of the "cat's eyes" have been sleeping, and no matter how noisy the birds in the mountains are, it no longer has the energy to pay attention to them, after all, older people and cats need more time to sleep and rest. It's just that older people don't want to waste time sleeping, they can feel the hourglass of life, every minute and every second is so precious.

"Actually, should I join forces with the other party? After all, he is the only magician who heals magic, and he can make my life longer," "Cat's Eye" Seamos touched his cat, and he walked step by step towards the mountain, not even a woodcutter and a hunter could be touched on the way, "Besides, he hasn't done anything bad, he has always lived alone in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, I'm afraid he just doesn't want to get involved in the strife of the world, right?"

The self-talking "Cat's Eye" has not received an answer from anyone, and as one of the three mage heirs, he has been searching for the only remaining magical power in this world, except for him and Golia. "Cat's Eye" is well aware that in addition to life weapons, enchanted weapons, and those magical sheepskin scrolls, there are several real magicians alive in the world. Most of these magicians are the only survivors of a certain line of magic, and they may be an accident left over from history, or a continuation of selfish desires.

Unlike the three mage heirs and the Pillar Priest, the head of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment, those mages did not want to be noticed or discovered, and they had already learned how to hide their magical powers just to avoid the "disillusionment" plan.

As recorded in the history of magic book that Feder had read, the terrifying power of magic was wiped out more than a thousand years ago by a program called Disillusionment. As far as "Cat's Eye" knew, the twelve magic masters with their own strengths originally had the same goal, but at the last moment, more than one magician had a different heart, which caused the "Disillusionment" plan to not be completely successful. Since then, two factions of mages have emerged on the continent as a result of this plan - one side supports the preservation of magic, and the other believes that the "disillusionment" plan must be carried out to the end.

Cat's Eye and Goliath's mentors are the ones who oppose the continued existence of magic, and they are on a mission to eliminate other magicians, and the magic they pass down is quite aggressive.

A thousand years ago, the faction that supported the preservation of magical power was wiped out by the other, and only a handful of magicians survived. These magicians who escaped death lived incognito and secluded in order to avoid being pursued by another faction. The other faction also began to consider their own magical powers after achieving great success, and many radical mages even chose to commit suicide after not being able to find other mages to ensure the integrity of the "disillusionment" plan. The previous generations of magicians of the master of "Cat's Eye" believed that the magic power that existed in the world had not been completely eliminated, so they wanted to continue the magic that could balance the magic power.

However, there were also problems with this magic faction, because of the emergence of life weapons, because of the prosperity of enchanted weapons, the master of "Cat's Eye" realized that he needed more people to deal with these problems, so he chose to adopt three apprentices. And when there are more people who know magic, different ideas and choices also appear. In the end, "Cat's Eye" can only listen to his heart, choose his own path, and walk alone on the road of implementing the "disillusionment" plan.

"Cat's Eye" knew that it would be difficult to destroy all things related to magic on his own, and he had pinned this hope on Golia, who was younger than him, but "Cat's Eye" could not agree with Golia's methods. After the Battle of Doret, "Cat's Eye" also began to fantasize that after his death, all the burdens would fall on Goliath, and perhaps the tasks that he and his master could not complete would really be solved in the way and way that Goliath envisioned.

However, when "Cat's Eye" thought of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I can't have these thoughts when facing a strong enemy, the other party is a person who has lived for more than a thousand years..."

Cat's Eye recalls the notebook that his master gave him on his deathbed, which contains all the magicians who are still alive decades after the implementation of Project Disillusionment. One of the magicians who lived on this mountain was the Healing Magician, and the only one of the twelve Magicians who was still alive. The magician, who was supposed to be on the side of the "Disillusionment" faction, chose to rebel against the original decision at the last moment and disappeared from everyone's sight. His healing magic is unmatched, and he has also learned the ultimate secret of healing magic - the strongest healing magic is not to heal the body, but to prolong and transform life.

As Cat's Eye walked into the forest in the mountains, he untied the rag that bound his eyes and slowly opened his eyes, which had turned pure black. The pure black eyes revealed a strange luster under the control of the "cat's eye", and in just a few seconds, the "cat's eye" sensed the exact location of the other party's hiding. He then closed his eyesβ€”it was more than just magic to use the magic he had just used, after all, it was the magic that the master had only taught him.

When Cat's Eye walked in front of a towering tree, he stopped, "Is this your hiding place? It turns out that to gain eternal life, you need to pay the price of becoming a plant..."

Before the words of "cat's eye" fell, the branches and leaves of the towering tree shook, and the birds hiding inside flew out of the dense branches and leaves.

A layer of bark suddenly fell off from the trunk of the big tree, and a human body connected to the tree appeared in front of "Cat's Eye"! The skin of that human body was like the bark of a tree, but his limbs and facial features could be recognized, and "Cat's Eye" knew that this was the essence of the healing magic master.

The human body opened its eyes slightly, "After all, someone still found me, and you came to take my life?"

Cat's Eye nodded, and his cat crawled to the back of his neck, staring warily at the thick roots that were exposed to the ground.

"I've lived long enough to forget the season and year for so long," the creature closed its dark green eyes and said lightly, "but I know very well that since I have chosen to betray the Disillusionment project, I will definitely be found one day, and what I didn't expect is that it will be a magician who has learned summoning magic." ”

"Yes, the magic I practice is summoning magic, including life summoning and death summoning. ”

The Healing Magic Grandmaster showed a smile of relief, "That's really rare, you must know that the Call of Life and the Call of Death belong to two factions, at the beginning, two of the twelve of us had a conflict because of the opposition between the two, I didn't expect you to be able to learn all the skills that those two people learned..."The body paused, "Since you can find me, there must be other magicians to help you, right?"

"Cat's Eye" shook his head, "No, I found it myself." ”

The human body let out an "oh" in surprise, "Unbelievable, not only have you learned two different types of magic, but you also have a third?"

Cat's Eye didn't answer, he just remembered the look on the face of another incognito magician a month ago. That magician has been living an ordinary life, and he even hid in the Sunrise Plateau, but he was still found by the "cat's eye". "Cat's Eye" still remembers the other party's unwillingness when he was dying, and the expression on his face seemed to say - why do you have such powerful magic?

The sound of branches and leaves clashing came from the top of the cat's eye, and the human body was silent for a while before he said, "I actually have three different types of magic... What surprised me the most was that the magic of the anti-magic department had not disappeared yet, and sure enough, the eleven of us were all in the hands of that one person, and we would never be able to escape from the palm of that person's hand..."

Cat's Eye nodded. The other party has already noticed that the third type of magic mastered by "Cat's Eye" is anti-magic magic, which is also called perceptual magic, which is the magic that the master only taught him. There is only one use for this type of magic, and that is to deal with magicians.

The two fell silent again, and after a while, the human body spoke again: "Although the magic I practice is healing magic, I have already comprehended the ultimate mystery of healing magic, if you want to take my life, maybe it won't be so easy... Even if it's anti-magic!" As soon as he finished saying this, several tree roots rose up behind "Cat's Eye" and flew towards "Cat's Eye"!

"Cat's Eye" seemed to have been prepared, and he began to recite the incantation silently the moment the other party's tone changed suddenly, and several swordsmen armed with huge shields and swords suddenly appeared behind "Cat's Eye", blocking the direct stabbing attack of the tree roots, and at the same time slashing the roots of those thick and unusually thick trees with their swords!

The swordsmen, who had gas-like bodies and no facial features, were summoned in an instant, just like the green-skinned demons of Jack the Green Ghost. However, unlike the Greenskin Demon, these swordsmen are more powerful and faster than the Greenskin Demon, and they block all the dangers behind the "Cat's Eye", so that those roots have no chance to take advantage of it.

At the same time, the leaves of the big tree flew down from the direction of the top of the "cat's eye" head like a flying knife! The "cat's eye" recited the incantation silently, and dozens of big birds full of rich feathers appeared above him, resisting the flying leaves like a rain of arrows! Those big birds waved their wings and blocked the flying leaves with their thick furs, although there were many wounds on their bodies, but the dozen or so big birds still flew towards the branches with all their might, trying to bite off the branches that had fallen leaves.

The severed roots soon grew new roots, and the new roots became harder, and the broken roots that fell to the ground were immediately absorbed by the ground and disappeared without a trace.

"If you're going to beat me, you're going to have to seize your chance, because I haven't... Wake up completely!" As soon as the human body finished speaking, a strong vibration came from beneath the ground.
