Chapter 134 Chapter 134 The End.
The Great Elder, who was blocked by Gu Jingyun and Xue Lan, looked at Jiang Yan with resentful eyes.
"Nature spirit..."
"Do you think you can escape?"
The elder's eyes turned red, and the color kept deepening until it looked as if blood could drip from them. The voice that came out was hoarse and rough, as if the throat had been worn away by gravel. It was unpleasant to the ear, and it could even make people feel creepy for no reason.
Everyone suddenly became alert.
"Brother Gu!" Xue Lan said, "Don't give him a chance to speak!"
Before Xue Lan finished her words, Gu Jingyun had already thrust out the tip of the sword in his hand with murderous intent.
The temperature inside the cave suddenly dropped by several degrees. Snowflakes appeared in the air, gathering together to form a powerful blizzard!
The familiar that had grown into a human form suddenly stiffened, and its speed of escape became visibly slower.
The Sword of Questioning the Heart broke through the wind and snow, pierced the dantian of the familiar with the force of thunder, and cut the tendons of his hands and feet.
The familiar ignored the pain and kept talking nonsense like a madman.
No one could understand what he was saying.
Gu Jingyun didn't kill him, he just made him incapable of moving.
Xue Lan drove the wind and snow, preparing to roll up the Great Elder, take him out of the altar and kill him.
Jiang Yan gripped the wand tightly, and the tip of the wand steadily released gentle light and natural magic.
The monks grunted and pushed the tower.
Only the last stone pillar remained of the altar.
But the familiar laughed.
"Do you think I'm going to revive him here? No, I'm not. This altar is just a way station."
"Nature elf... your aura is very pure, and your magic power is pure. You are indeed a child that the God of Light would like."
Jiang Yan's expression changed slightly.
What does this mean?
Gu Jingyun suppressed the urge to kill him.
The familiar said intermittently: "Look at the expression on Master Gu's face. Do you want to kill me? It's up to you. My life is irrelevant because the entire formation has been activated since the moment you stepped into the cave."
"Jiang Yan, descendant of a nature elf, do you really think I want to eat you? If I hurt you, who will take our king back to his territory?"
The familiar said: "This world is rich in spiritual power but low in magic power. It is the home of cultivators and not suitable for the survival and reproduction of demons. Even if the Demon Lord is resurrected and the demon army invades the Five Continents, as the magic power is consumed and cannot be effectively replenished, the demon army will eventually be defeated by the cultivators one day."
“Instead of fighting the human race to the death in the wrong place, it is better to bring the accumulated undead army back to the magic continent, attack the magic-rich Kingdom of Harlan, and snatch more magic resources!”
"Great Demon King... Please come... May my remaining body and flesh be able to summon--"
The Demon Lord's familiar called out in the ancient demon language.
Gu Jingyun and Xue Lan attacked almost at the same time. The sword and ice pierced the heart of the familiar at the same time, and the familiar's cries stopped abruptly.
The monk who could not understand the magic language just thought that the demon was making its last struggle and did not pay much attention to it and continued to push the tower.
"No! Don't attack the stone pillar! Stop--"
Jiang Yan suddenly came back to his senses and abruptly cut off the output of magic power in his hands. The reverse flow of magic power made him cough up blood.
“This is a trap!!”
He coughed up blood and shouted at the monks to stop.
This moment is very short.
Gu Jingyun and Xue Lan killed the familiar, Jiang Yan forcibly interrupted the forbidden spell of light, and the final blow of Song Hua and others fell on the stone pillar, which exploded and the fragments rolled into the pool of blood outside the altar.
The blood pool calmed all the restlessness, and the dark aura that erupted from the bottom of the pool collided with the power of light, just like the two poles of a magnetic field colliding violently in an instant.
Everything happens within the same second.
The next second, the earth shook.
The whole mountain was shaking violently, and the bright light that made it impossible for people to open their eyes filled every corner of the cave.
A storm powerful enough to tear apart time and space erupted in an instant. The cave collapsed at an alarming speed, rocks rolled down, and the pool of blood became the center of the collision between positive and negative energy. The blood evaporated in an instant.
Everyone was shocked.
"! What's going on?!"
"Oh my god, the mountain is going to collapse, get out of here quickly--!"
"Through the tunnel we came in through?"
"We'll be buried in there! We might as well just blow up the top of the mountain!!"
A gust of wind blew past Xue Lan.
Everyone was thinking about escaping, but Gu Jingyun rushed towards the cave entrance as if he didn't care about his life.
Xue Lan turned her head at the rumbling sound.
The place where Jiang Yan was standing had already collapsed.
Xue Lan had never seen Jiang Yan flying with a sword. This was the first time she saw the Demon-Breaking Sword on the young man's back taking on the responsibility of flying the sword.
Amidst the landslides and the cracking of the earth, the young man flew towards the young master on his sword, having to avoid falling boulders on the way.
The young man's eyes were full of panic, and there was still blood on his lips. He said something loudly to Young Master Gu, but his words were drowned out by the sound of the landslide and Xue Lan could not hear them.
Xue Lan saw the man in black rushing towards Jiang Yan at the fastest speed, and reached out to grab the thin figure.
But the storm moves at the same speed as the light.
The energy particles were one step faster than him and enveloped the young man. The man's outstretched hand was ultimately unable to grasp the man's wrist.
Xue Lan only vaguely saw that at the last moment, her cousin seemed to have thrown something to Young Master Gu.
The next moment, the cave collapsed completely.
Dust covered everything.
…
Citroën violently lifted the boulder.
Xue Lan came out covered in dust and dirt.
Before he could say a word, Citroen grabbed him by the collar and asked:
"Where's your brother?!"
Xue Lan hesitated, and her first reaction was to look for Gu Jingyun.
It was a mess everywhere. The Heavenly Wolf Guards and the Snow Demon Guards were busy using their spiritual power to transport stones. The injured disciples of various sects were healing on the spot, and those who were not injured helped clean up the scene or treat the wounded.
The woman in the uniform of the Hehuan Sect covered her bloody arm while being pressed down by the second-in-command disciple of the Lingyu Sect to apply medicine. The woman looked reluctant, ignoring her injured arm, turning her head to look around, with a worried look in her eyes, as if she was looking for someone.
Ling Hanzhang commanded the Tianlang Guards without stopping for a moment. He looked back frequently, his eyes cast in a certain direction, with a worried look on his face.
Xue Lan looked around, followed Ling Hanzhang's gaze, and found Gu Jingyun at the edge of the crowd.
The man had his back to everyone, his back as straight as a pine tree as always, but his back was somewhat lonely.
"Speak up!" Citroen shook Xue Lan's shoulders, "Gu Jingyun is mute, and you dare to ignore me?"
Citroën's voice was a bit loud, attracting the attention of others.
Yan Yushan's eyes lit up, she pushed away her boyfriend who was still wrapping gauze around her, and ran over.
"Master Xuelan." Yan Yushan asked with rapid breathing, "Excuse me, have you seen Yan'er?"
Yan Yushan did not follow them into the cave. She was left outside to fight against the monsters.
There was an endless stream of monsters. After one was killed, another one popped up. The color of the soil had already changed.
If it weren't for Senior Citroen's rich experience, who ordered everyone to set up a formation to meet the enemy, relax in moderation, and allow some time to catch their breath and rest, they would have suffered heavy casualties.
A burst of white light emerged from the ground, and all the monsters were wrapped in the light and disappeared. When everyone was surprised, there was a sudden landslide and the ground collapsed. When they came to their senses, they saw the current situation.
Yan Yushan hadn't seen Jiang Yan. Seeing Gu Jingyun's lonely back, she had a bad feeling.
She grabbed Xue Lan's sleeve and asked with a sob: "Where is Yan'er? Is he, is he——"
Xue Lan quickly said, "No! My cousin is not dead! Uh, probably."
Citroen's face turned pale: "Explain your words clearly to me!"
Xue Lan quickly recounted what happened in the cave.
"What did I tell you before you went in? Why couldn't you protect your brother? You've lived for hundreds of years in vain!"
Citroen punched Xue Lan hard. After beating his own son, he rushed to Gu Jingyun and shouted, "And you—wait, what are you holding in your hand?!"
Xue Lan and Yan Yushan followed behind Citroen.
The commotion was quite big, so even Ling Hanzhang dropped his command work and ran over.
Gu Jingyun remained motionless, his eyelashes drooping, his palm half open. There were blood marks on his palm from pinching himself, and a seemingly ordinary branch.
That was the branch from the Elf Mother Tree that Jiang Yan threw to him at the last moment.
"What is this?" Citroen suppressed his anger.
"...a token that Ayan left me." Gu Jingyun was silent for a long time and answered in a hoarse voice.
The man raised his eyelids, his expression was terrifyingly calm, his dark pupils seemed to absorb all the light, and were filled with an ink color that was so rich that it could not be dissolved.
Everyone who saw these eyes couldn't help but take a step back.
But Citroën did not retreat.
He asked bluntly: "Is Yan'er dead?"
Gu Jingyun: "No, he just returned to his original world, to his hometown. Uncle, don't you have his spiritual stone?"
Only then did Citroën remember that this thing existed.
He quickly took it out and saw that the spiritual contract stone belonging to Jiang Yan was flashing wildly, and the flashing frequency was higher than the heart rate of a person after strenuous exercise.
"Ayan was injured, seriously injured, but I was not by his side," said Gu Jingyun.
It is normal for the spiritual stone to always be on. The faster the light flashes, the more seriously the owner is injured.
If one day the spiritual stone loses all its light, it means that the person has passed away.
Gu Jingyun closed his eyes and tightened his grip, wanting to hold onto the branch of the mother tree, but was afraid of hurting it by using too much force.
He could not forget the panic and despair of that second.
Just a little bit.
Just one step away, and he was forced to be separated from his lover.
"...Han Zhang."
Gu Jingyun turned his head and called Ling Hanzhang's name.
Ling Hanzhang was startled and asked nervously, "Brother, what do you want to tell me?"
Gu Jingyun took out the jade talisman of the Heavenly Wolf Guard and handed it to him.
"From now on, I'll leave everything to you. Don't look for me even if the sky falls."
Yan Yushan: "Where are you going, young master?" She hadn't recovered from the series of events that had just happened, so she asked subconsciously.
"I will return to Wu Nian Peak for retreat and strive to reach the peak of transcendence."
Gu Jingyun said hoarsely, "...He is waiting for me."
--【I'm waiting for you. 】
Before leaving, Jiang Yan's eyes reflected the man's anxious handsome face. He smiled and said soothingly.
…
Jiang Yan woke up to a chaotic shouting.
He felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if he had been run over by a truck loaded with countless magical ores, back and forth.
The energy storm in the space-time tunnel almost tore Jiang Yan apart. He had experienced it once when he went there, and thought that his cultivation level would be improved on the return journey, so he would not feel so uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, the damn demons took advantage of him and raised the share that one person could bear to the legion level, forcing him to either bear everything or die together.
It's a bet that Jiang Yan can hold on, that he is attached to the world and dares not die.
Jiang Yan really didn't dare.
He wants to keep his life so that he can reunite with Gu Jingyun.
The power in the time and space tunnel is very terrifying.
If Jiang Yan had not reached the tribulation period, he might have really died in there.
Jiang Yan was seriously injured, and his five senses have not yet fully recovered. His vision and hearing are like seeing flowers in the fog, as if through a thin veil.
He was in so much pain that he instinctively cried out in a hoarse voice: "Brother, brother...Gu Jingyun..."
Someone around asked blankly:
"When did Senior Jiang Yan have a brother? Isn't there a rumor in the academy that Senior is an only child? Who is Gu Jingyun?"
"How would I know? That's not the point!"
"When will the medical department arrive? Senior is too badly injured. Healing potions and spells can only stop the bleeding. We need high-level spells—ah, Dean!"
"Dean, you are here!"
Jiang Yan felt himself being lifted up by an invisible wind, and finally landed on something that was probably a stretcher.
He struggled to open his eyes. His magic mentor, Burns, was standing in front of him with a serious and worried look, holding a wand in his hand, casting high-level healing spells on Jiang Yan one after another.
My body suddenly felt lighter.
The injury changed from "being crushed back and forth by a heavy truck carrying more than ten tons of magic ore" to "being hit by a carriage and flying several meters away."
You are still the leader, and your performance is countless times better than that of the students.
Jiang Yan struggled to sit up.
Burns frowned and held him down, disapprovingly saying, "Don't move. You just saved your life, you still need to rest!"
Jiang Yan did not resist. He pointed at the sword and wand on the lawn.
Burns didn't think much about it and bent down to pick it up. He put the sword back into the scabbard and put it into Jiang Yan's palm together with the magic wand.
Jiang Yan immediately grasped the tassel of the Demon-Breaking Sword.
Fingers that were white to the point of being almost transparent gently stroked the red tassel, and the young man's expression relaxed slightly, as if only by holding it did he feel at ease.
Jiang Yan opened his mouth.
Burns stopped him: "No, your throat is not healed yet, you can't speak."
Jiang Yan obediently closed his mouth and expressed his gratitude only with his eyes.
Burns said, "We were extremely worried about you after you disappeared for so long. The college has notified your parents, and they will be here soon. Don't go to sleep yet, you will have a physical examination later."
Jiang Yan nodded silently.
Burns waved his wand.
The stretcher automatically floated up and flew towards the medical department with Jiang Yan.
The students watching were talking about it.
Just now, a bolt of lightning struck the clear sky without warning, and then senior Jiang Yan, who had been missing for nearly two years, suddenly appeared lying flat on the lawn of the college.
The young man had his eyes closed, his face was pale, his exposed skin was covered with wounds, and blood was gushing out of him wildly, scaring a group of lower grade students who were passing by.
Fortunately, the dean arrived in time.
Burns drove the crowd away: "No more standing around, go to class!"
Just then the bell rang and everyone dispersed. Seeing them whispering to each other, this incident was bound to become the most sensational headline news of the First Magic Academy.
…
"Jiang Yan!" Eleanor almost "bumped" into the door. She staggered in and almost tripped herself several times because she was moving too fast.
Inpatient section of the medical department.
The ward was clean and tidy, the window was half open, and the breeze carried the fragrance of flowers into the room.
Jiang Yan was half sitting and half leaning on the bed, looking down at a magic book. He was receiving an IV drip on the back of his hand. He looked up when he heard the noise.
"Mom, slow down, don't fall. I'm right here."
The young man closed the book, his features looking much more mature and steady than before he left home.
Eleanor stared blankly at the young man in front of her who was smiling at her.
He is so handsome, inheriting all the advantages of the elves, and his every move reveals an elegant temperament.
Jiang Yan has grown up.
He must have suffered a lot, Eleanor thought bitterly.
Eleanor's mind wandered to other things, and the more she thought about it, the sadder she became.
Just as tears welled up in my eyes, a disappointing voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Wife, why are you blocking the door?" Jiang Qingsui asked.
Eleanor: “…”
Jiang Yan also asked curiously: "Mom, aren't you coming in?"
He put the book aside, spread his arms, and acted coquettishly in a natural way: "Mom, I miss you so much."
ah!
Eleanor thought with relief that the taste was right. Yanyan was still her cold-faced but warm-hearted fudge baby.
"Watch your hands, baby."
Eleanor rushed forward, preventing Jiang Yan from moving, and hugged him tightly.
"Mom misses you too." Eleanor said with a sob.
"...Mom." Jiang Yan rubbed it quietly, pretending that he was not crying.
Eleanor sobbed and said, "Baby, don't rub your tears on mommy's clothes. I have to go to the White Tower for a meeting later and I don't have time to change clothes. Your father is behind me, go and rub him."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Jiang Qingsui: "What? Wife, I changed my clothes for the reunion of father and son... Forget it, come on, Yan'er, give your father a long-lost hug!"
Jiang Yan was hugged tightly by his father.
Both couples hugged each other tightly, but one of them was a loving mother who couldn't help missing her son after he returned from a long journey, so she lost her strength. The other one looked like she wanted to strangle her son to death.
Jiang Yan felt so sentimental at first that he wanted to cry, but later on his face became more and more expressionless.
"Dad!" Jiang Yan shouted, "Did you hold me too long and too hard?"
Let go, let go quickly!
While Eleanor was wiping her tears, Jiang Qingsui leaned over to Jiang Yan's ear and whispered, "Don't tell your mother, son, please."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Jiang Yan was surprised and asked, "So you have memories?"
Jiang Qingsui let him go: "After you return to this world, your spirit will return to its original place and your memories will naturally be brought back."
Jiang Yan hooked his finger. "Oh, Dad, come here."
Jiang Qingsui approached tentatively: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Yan wiped his snot and tears on Jiang Qingsui's shirt.
"My new clothes, your mother praised me for being handsome this morning! Jiang Yan, you--" Jiang Qingsui's face was full of anger.
"Mom!" Jiang Yan shouted immediately.
Eleanor was still wiping her tears with a tissue, and she looked up blankly: "Baby, mommy is here, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yan opened his mouth, and Jiang Qingsui immediately covered his mouth and turned back to say, "It's okay, he wiped his tears on my clothes, and I glared at him."
Eleanor protected her cub and angrily said, "What's wrong with using a ragged piece of clothing to wipe the baby's tears? Is my son more important or the clothes?! And I asked him to rub it, do you have any problem with that?"
I dare not have.
The dignified sword master was so timid that he dared not speak.
Jiang Qingsui glared at Jiang Yan, then went to the bathroom with a gloomy face to change clothes.
Jiang Yan pursed his lips, secretly proud.
I told you to chop my phantom with a sword, and you threatened me even though you knew I was right next to you.
It was difficult for me, so Gu Jingyun and I had to spend most of the night catching rabbits.
It’s fine if you don’t help me exorcise the demon, but you’re wasting my time talking about all sorts of things.
The most important thing is, even though he knew that I was indeed his biological child, he still tried to deny me!
snort.
Jiang Yan felt that his bad mood was remedied by his biological father, and he felt inexplicably happy.
Jiang Qingsui quickly changed his shirt and came out, then moved a chair and sat to the right of the bed.
Eleanor sat down on the left.
Jiang Yan was caught in the middle and suddenly had a bad feeling.
Eleanor did not seem to be interrogating her. She just lightly tapped her wand in the air, and golden dots of light jumped and gathered together. It was the present time.
"Afternoon, one thirty-seven."
Eleanor waved her wand and the light disappeared.
She said gently, "Yan Yan, I have an emergency meeting at the White Tower at 4 pm. Before that, my time is yours."
"...Mom, do you want to hear my adventure story in another world?" Jiang Yan asked.
"Why not? I can't wait," said Eleanor.
"Don't forget your boyfriend." Jiang Qingsui quickly followed up with a sour tone.
"Okay." Jiang Yan smiled, "The story begins with a crucible explosion."
…
Three fifty in the afternoon.
Jiang Yan finished his storytelling session about his adventure in another world and just as he was finishing his IV drip, the nurse came knocking on the door to remove the needle.
Jiang Yan put down all his burdens and was just a child who had not grown up in front of his parents.
She dances when she's excited and cries when she's sad. When she talks about Gu Jingyun, her face turns red, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the love in her eyes and eyebrows.
He spoke until his mouth was dry and he finished his story before Eleanor went to the meeting. Due to lack of time, some details had to be omitted and the story was compressed.
Some things are actively ignored.
For example, the parts that Jiang Qingsui ordered him to delete with a glance, the details of his love affair with Gu Jingyun, and other things that made him feel guilty.
Jiang Yan checked the time: "It's time for the meeting."
"I'll go on a broom. I won't be late." Eleanor handed him a glass of water. "Don't be sorry. We still have plenty of time."
Jiang Yan drank the water obediently.
"He Huan Sect..." Eleanor said, "You deliberately disconnected before, right? Because you were afraid that I would guess that this is a succubus-like sect, and you learned the succubus's skills."
Jiang Yan almost choked on a mouthful of water.
Eleanor said calmly, "It's okay. Just don't say anything in the tribe. Otherwise, the tribe members won't understand the difference between the Hehuan Sect and the Succubus, and will keep asking you how you changed your race and whether you will starve to death if you can't find a love relationship."
Jiang Yan: “…”
He couldn't help but say, "I have a partner!"
Jiang Qingsui couldn't stand it anymore: "Alright, alright. We've been talking for the whole afternoon, and Gu Jingyun is involved in seven out of ten stories. Stop showing off your affection in front of your dad."
Jiang Yan blurted out: "Because we are all acting together and we are inseparable from each other!"
After saying that, he was stunned for a moment, his fingers tightened unconsciously, and his eyelashes trembled.
It was possible before, but not now.
Jiang Yan thought.
Eleanor gave her husband a glare, fearing that it would bring up her son's sad memories.
Can it be a good thing for a young couple to be forced to live apart during their passionate love period?
I don’t know when we can meet again!
I don't even know if we can see each other again.
Jiang Qingsui quickly changed the subject and pretended to sigh: "Agnes's prediction was indeed correct."
Jiang Yan didn't dare to say that he almost thought he was going to marry Jian.
The family of three was silent for a moment.
Jiang Yan took the initiative to ask: "Is there any movement from the demons?"
"Yes, there's quite a bit of commotion. They seem to be busy resurrecting their king, or maybe he has already come back to life, and he's full of energy." Eleanor sneered.
"What does the Black Tower say?" Jiang Qingsui asked.
The White Tower belongs to the mages of the Light Department, while the Black Tower gathers a group of wizards who love black magic.
The two sides have always disliked each other and often fought over a disagreement.
Black magicians often deal with things like undead and skeletons. I wonder how they react to the invasion of demons...
"Everyone in the Black Tower is very happy and can't wait for the war to start tomorrow," said Eleanor.
"Why?" Jiang Qingsui wondered.
"They said they came at the right time. The demons have disappeared for too long and the tower is running out of materials. Now they need a batch of skulls and ghoul saliva... Anyway, they saw the experimental value of the remaining demons and wanted to replenish the magic materials in the tower." Eleanor said.
Jiang Qingsui: “…” The Black Tower has a really strong taste.
Jiang Yan thought for a moment, "That makes sense."
Jiang Qingsui looked at Jiang Yan in horror, “Boy, you are the son of the Chief Holy Mage of the White Tower and the President of the White Wizard Association. You can’t change jobs!”
Eleanor uses time magic to bring out the time.
"Oh, if I don't go now I'll be late. A group of people are waiting for me for a meeting." Eleanor pushed open the window and jumped onto the broom.
Jiang Qingsui said enthusiastically: "Wife, I can send you on my sword faster than on a broom."
Eleanor: "I'll settle the score with you later for the psychological trauma you've left on my son."
Jiang Qingsui: "..."
Eleanor left in a hurry.
Jiang Yan looked at his father innocently.
"Didn't we agree not to complain?" Jiang Qingsui asked.
No matter how hard I tried to wink, I still missed a part.
Jiang Yan said confidently: "No, that part is the one where Gu Jingyun taught me how to fly with a sword. It is an important part of our relationship and we can't skip it."
Jiang Qingsui was filled with anger.
…
A few days later.
Jiang Yan recovered from his illness and passed the White Tower's rigorous review, becoming the youngest Holy Mage in the White Tower's history.
The Holy Mage is the highest realm of magicians, and there are only a few Holy Mage in the world.
Jiang Yan's name spread throughout the country in an instant. Even the streets and alleys of neighboring countries were talking about this young saint. His fame even spread to countries farther away on the mainland.
He was given a seat at the front of the table, next to his mother.
And Eleanor is the leader of the White Tower.
In the corridor of the White Tower, Jiang Yan met Dean Burns.
"Teacher." Jiang Yan stepped forward and greeted him with a respectful attitude.
Even though he is now stronger than Burns, Burns is still his mentor.
Burns nodded and asked, "Have you finished your graduation thesis?"
Jiang Yan: “…”
Thesis, paper? ?
A passing wizard glanced at them in horror.
Is Dean Burns a devil? He even urges students to write graduation papers!
Jiang Yan had completely forgotten about this matter.
He was indeed in the graduation stage before he traveled through time. If nothing had happened at that time, Burns would have come to him to talk about his graduation thesis in two days.
As soon as Burns saw Jiang Yan's expression, he knew that the student had not done his homework.
"Alas, traveling to another world for adventure is one thing, but how can I forget my graduation thesis!" Burns was heartbroken.
A passing wizard: “…” The devil dean!
Jiang Yan felt ashamed.
"The teacher's lesson is that I will make up the paper tomorrow."
Mage:?
Burns: "One day is enough?"
Jiang Yan nodded: "I also often studied elixirs in that world - oh, that is, the magic potions here - as well as the differences between refining and alchemy, traditional oriental formations and magic formations..."
"The data is readily available, and I can write it overnight."
Burns was relieved: "That's good, your attitude is still very correct."
Mage: ? ?
I finished writing the paper in one night. How is your liver, senior?
Burns: "Put the paper on my desk before noon tomorrow."
Jiang Yan: "Yes, teacher. By the way, teacher, I would like to discuss with you about the above... about time and space magic."
Burns: "That's interesting. Come on, let's talk while we walk."
Mage: ???
I have no idea what this is saying.
The wizard looked at the backs of a great mage and a holy mage walking away from him with awe in his heart.
The disciple of the King of Rolls brought up by Dean King of Rolls,
It's so scary.
…
The next day.
Jiang Yan placed his graduation thesis on the dean's desk on time.
Burns took it and looked through it for a moment: "It seems that there are some parts that need to be revised. I will take a closer look later."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Jiang Yan said.
Burns teased, "Planning to go to the White Tower after graduation?"
Jiang Yan was originally his teaching assistant, and they had discussed before that he would stay after graduation to teach the theory and practical application of natural magic.
But he is now a holy mage. If Jiang Yan is willing, the White Tower will be a better place.
Jiang Yan shook his head slightly: "I want to stay in school, just like we agreed before."
Burns was surprised and asked, "Why? The White Tower is the holy place for all white magicians."
"But even if I stay to teach at the school, the White Tower will not delete my name."
Jiang Yan thought about it and said with a smile: "Actually there is another reason."
"oh?"
"Because my boyfriend used to skip school and was punished a lot, he was afraid to see the teacher. I wanted to give him a surprise."
Burns raised an eyebrow. He stood up from his chair and held out his hand.
"That's a good reason. The First School of Magic welcomes you, Professor Jiang Yan."
"Thank you. It's my pleasure."
Jiang Yan shook hands briskly with the dean.
…
Half a month later, on a moonlit night.
The horn of the demon charge suddenly sounded outside the kingdom's walls.
Not only the Kingdom of Harlan where Jiang Yan was located, but even the neighboring countries were attacked by the demons.
Fortunately, the kingdom had been prepared, and the sneak attack by the demons did not end well.
The two sides fought hard for several days.
Several demon spies sneaked into the kingdom and almost caused a big incident. Fortunately, Jiang Yan discovered them in time.
The mages from the White Tower and the Black Tower were sent to more important places respectively, so no manpower could be spared.
Human life was at stake, so Jiang Yan simply took the token from the White Tower and asked the king for a transfer order.
Jiang Yan led the Knights and picked up a few familiar senior students when they passed by the Magic Academy. He followed the clues and swiftly eliminated the demon spies inside the kingdom.
Finally, he privately sighed: "It is more convenient to use the Heavenly Wolf Guards, and it is less troublesome."
Upon hearing that the Demon Lord is finally about to appear, Jiang Yan prepares to go to the front line to seek revenge on him.
Before leaving, Jiang Yan couldn't stand the chaotic intelligence department of the kingdom. Not only was the staff disorganized and the efficiency ridiculously low, but there was also the possibility of information leaking out at any time, which was not even 20% of the Tianlang Guards.
Jiang Yan was used to the Sirius Guards and he disliked these intelligence departments.
So while waiting to set off, he reorganized everything, even the Knights were not spared.
He didn't realize that when he was training his subordinates, his every move was so strikingly similar to Gu Jingyun's.
Jiang Yan's "smooth move" inadvertently demonstrated his extremely high leadership and professional qualities.
Jiang Yan went to war secretly, and the king saw him off. Before leaving, the king actually asked, "Mr. Jiang Yan, are you willing to participate in politics?"
Jiang Yan: “???”
Jiang Yan was shocked: "I'm sorry, I don't have this idea."
King: "Then join the intelligence agency as a minister..."
Jiang Yan: "No, no, no, thank you for your kindness!"
He just wants to eliminate the demon spies, not become the intelligence chief!
The king was very sorry: "Well, I will keep a place for you anytime."
Jiang Yan said "thank you" as he walked away quickly.
Are you kidding me? I definitely don't want to work for the king!
…
The demon army is approaching.
Jiang Yan rushed over and helped repel several attacks by the demons.
Seeing that the demons were becoming increasingly weaker, the Demon Lord hiding behind the demons could no longer sit still, and finally showed up to take command personally.
Led by the Demon Lord, the morale of the demon soldiers soared, and they actually pushed the human race back, but they were unable to attack the city wall and fell into a stalemate.
Jiang Yan stood on the city wall, looking into the distance, all he saw was a sea of "human heads". He glanced at the Demon Lord in the distance, his eyes cold.
The bloody battle completely stripped the young man of his youthfulness. There was no trace of tenderness in his eyes and eyebrows, and his temperament was cold and hard.
Jiang Yan has a sharp eye, and unlike most people who specialize in sword or magic, he has learned both and is proficient in both.
He knows the wizard's spells.
He can also do the knight's charge.
Jiang Yan started out as a leader of a small team, and within just a few days, he gained greater voice - because his decisions were always right, and the battlefields he was in charge of had the least casualties and the most enemies killed.
Jiang Yan's "bad reputation" gradually spread.
The demon soldiers would be afraid when they saw his back.
It's not even a frontal face, but just an extremely similar back view, which can make the demons subconsciously take a step back.
Wherever Jiang Yan stands, that is the most solidly defended place. The demons have to use military orders to force the soldiers to attack the city wall where Jiang Yan is.
But he did not always stay on the city wall.
Except for the moments when he needed to stand still and output, Jiang Yan would always gallop across the battlefield with the Demon-Breaking Sword, followed by the fearless knights, charging murderously to the front line.
When Jiang Yan passed by the city wall, the logistics officers greeted him respectfully, the soldiers stood at attention with their heels together, the knight tapped his heart lightly with his right fist, the wizard held his wand in the wand salute, took off his magic hat and bowed slightly.
He is powerful and has made outstanding military achievements.
He is admired by thousands of people.
In front of the central army tent, a wizard lifted the curtain and walked out.
The wizard looked up at the young man walking towards him, immediately stood up straight, raised his wand, with a look of joy and admiration in his eyes.
"Venerable Jiang Yan."
"Master Nize."
Jiang Yan returned a simple wand salute to the wizard who saluted him.
The full etiquette is for both parties to hold their wands upright and bow to each other. A simplified version is to just hold their wands up to each other without bowing.
Ni Ze hesitated for a moment and asked, "Venerable, have you just come down from the battlefield?"
Jiang Yan nodded: "What's wrong?"
Ni Ze pointed at the young man's cheek. "There's blood on your face."
"Hmm?" Jiang Yan wiped it with his thumb and said casually, "It doesn't matter. Do you have a mission?"
Nize immediately became nervous: "Yes, the president ordered it."
"Go ahead, and be careful." Jiang Yan didn't ask for details. There were some things that couldn't be said or asked outside the tent.
"Yes!" Nize's eyes lit up with excitement.
Jiang Yan nodded to the soldiers guarding on both sides of the tent, lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.
The two soldiers looked at each other, and seeing the almost fanatical admiration in each other's eyes, they couldn't help laughing, but quickly restrained themselves and stood at attention.
Inside the tent.
The leader of the White Tower was in a state of panic, but when he saw his son, his face showed joy.
"Yan Yan, you're here! Oh, there's blood on your face, why don't you wipe it off." Eleanor used a handkerchief to carefully wipe her face. "Don't move!"
The venerable man who is domineering outside is just a good boy in front of his mother.
Jiang Yan obeyed and did not move. He waited for Eleanor to put down her handkerchief before asking, "Where's Dad?"
"The neighboring country is useless. The city wall was almost breached on the first day the Demon Lord came out. They sent a letter asking for help, and your father went to help." Eleanor said.
"He's alone?"
"He also brought two teams of elf archers. Don't worry about your dad. He has seen a lot of things. That's not the main battlefield. The pressure is all here."
"Then why was mom worried just now?"
"Oh, it's those wizards from the Black Tower!"
The chief wizard of the White Tower complained: "In order to prevent the white magic from purifying their summoned beasts, I discussed with Andrew and specially marked out a battlefield for the necromancers."
Andrew is the chief wizard of the Black Tower and the leader of the Black Tower.
Eleanor said dissatisfiedly: "As a result, they suddenly sent out a lot of applications last night, claiming that they wanted to serve the kingdom and expand the area they were responsible for."
"Don't be ridiculous! How can we change something we have already agreed on?"
"Everyone knows that they are greedy for those magic materials. But they can't mess things up, right? A group of undead appeared out of nowhere. Who knows which ones are demons and which ones are their summoned demons? What will happen if they fight against each other?"
Jiang Yan: “…”
Jiang Yan said calmly, "I know, Mom. I'll go talk to Andrew."
Eleanor beamed: "Thank you, baby!"
The Black Tower has always been non-violent and non-cooperative, and has a unique style of doing things and unspoken rules that are difficult for ordinary people to adapt to.
Eleanor often has no way to deal with them, but fortunately she has a secret magic weapon that works every time - Jiang Yan!
When Jiang Yan takes action, Andrew will be defeated eight out of ten times.
He couldn't win by talking or fighting, and after several rounds of fighting, when the two met again, Andrew was even weaker than Jiang Yan in momentum.
"You go secretly and don't let anyone else see you. This will be considered as a favor to Andrew. He told me privately that he doesn't want to see you in the sight of the wizards in the Black Tower." Eleanor said.
Jiang Yan wondered: "Why?"
Eleanor: "Afraid that the fact that they couldn't defeat you would be exposed, his subordinates abandoned him and pushed you to the position of leader of the Black Tower. I can only say that your style is quite similar to that of the Black Tower sometimes."
Jiang Yan: “…………”
Eleanor did not notice her son's unusually long silence.
"Forget it, let's not talk about them."
She returned to the topic: "In the next two days, the demons should make some big moves."
Jiang Yan nodded: "Mom, I was just about to tell you that the demons are planning to launch a general attack the day after tomorrow night."
"???" Eleanor was surprised: "How did you know?"
Jiang Yan was silent for a while. When his mother twisted his ear and asked him again, he reluctantly said, "I sent a few necromancers with their familiars as scouts to the demon tribe to get first-hand battle reports."
Eleanor: "...Where did the necromancer come from?"
To summon a familiar that can serve as a high-level scout is not something that ordinary people can do.
Jiang Yan whispered, "Black, Black Tower."
Eleanor: “…………”
No wonder the people in the Black Tower were so active, it turns out that they got the information!
Eleanor felt dizzy.
When she regained consciousness, the first thing she did was to grab her son by the collar: "You will be the leader of the White Tower in the future, and you are not allowed to change jobs!!"
Jiang Yan repeatedly expressed his loyalty: "Okay, mom, I understand, President, I will definitely not change jobs!"
Eleanor said calmly: "But you can recruit them. I support you."
Jiang Yan: “???”
No!
Jiang Yan felt bitter. He just hated the demons for forcing him and Gu Jingyun to separate, so he wanted to kill the Demon King quickly to avenge himself, and then wait peacefully for his brother to come find him so that they could live a sweet life together.
I have no intention of becoming a leader.
No matter which side!
…
The day after tomorrow, when night falls.
The Demon Lord reappeared and led the demon soldiers to attack the city.
The enemy is at the gate.
Jiang Yan randomly picked a section of the city wall, but unexpectedly he ran into the Demon Lord head-on.
In the center of the dark army of demons, the Demon Lord sat high on a throne carried by trolls.
He and Jiang Yan looked at each other from a distance.
Neither side gave in.
A few minutes later, the Demon Lord blinked and said coldly, "Are you Jiang Yan who has ruined my plans so many times?"
Jiang Yan turned to his subordinates and said, "Did you see it?"
Subordinate: “What?”
Jiang Yan: "He just blinked! I won!"
A group of people: "..."
As long as you are happy.
The Demon Lord was completely ignored and was furious.
"Supreme Saint! Do you dare to fight me?!" The voice of the Demon Lord spread throughout the entire area through the blessing of amplifying magic.
After the words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
silence.
quiet.
The Demon Lord was furious again: "Why didn't you answer? Are you scared?!"
Jiang Yan looked around and confirmed that the person the Demon Lord was glaring at was him.
"Ah? Me?" Jiang Yan pointed at himself, his eyes blank: "I'm not the Supreme Saint."
Who is the Supreme Saint you are talking about?
If he hadn't been staring at me, I would have really thought that the Demon Lord was talking to someone else.
Jiang Yan guessed that others thought the same thing, but when he turned around, he saw the soldiers on the city wall looking at him with burning eyes.
"...You all think that I am the Supreme Saint?" Jiang Yan asked hesitantly.
A soldier who was close by said boldly, "If it's not you, who else could it be?"
The youngest and most powerful Holy Mage, a warrior who has made great military achievements, and who has achieved such success in practicing both martial arts and magic, who else can be worthy of this title except Jiang Yan?
The devil was still shouting and cursing in front of the formation.
Jiang Yan couldn't listen any more.
"Well, the Supreme Saint is the Supreme Saint."
The young man drew out the Demon-Breaking Sword, his voice as cold as the collision of jade and filled with cold murderous intent.
The Demon Lord opened his mouth to speak.
Jiang Yan said coldly: "If I don't kill you today, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Demon Lord: “…”
This is my line!
The Demon Lord certainly knew Jiang Yan, and he also knew that he had a father who was a sword immortal.
These two father and son brought a devastating blow to the demon clan. Shouldn't he be the one to say this?
Jiang Yan didn't want to waste any more time talking to the Demon Lord.
Jiang Yan hated the Demon Lord to death.
She actually treated him as a guiding light, causing him to be separated from his beloved.
At first, one of them was in Dongzhou and the other in Xizhou. They could still use a two-way mirror to talk to each other during their long-distance relationship. Now, we can’t even hear each other’s voices!!
Jiang Yan swung out with his sword.
The sword light is as vast as the Milky Way, beautiful and gorgeous. Wherever the sword energy goes, the demons will surely die!
This sword is the signal to start war!
The battlefield, which was quiet just a moment ago, was suddenly filled with the sounds of fighting and killing, and from time to time the sound of wizards chanting spells could be heard.
Jiang Yan's practical experience is already extremely rich.
He held the wand in his left hand and could instantly cast magic below the forbidden level without chanting any spells. Even if it was a forbidden spell, he could release it at the fastest speed without charging or chanting long spells.
Countless demons died under his magic wand.
Jiang Yan stepped on the Demon-Breaking Sword, flew into the sky with the sword, and grabbed the sword the moment he jumped down from mid-air.
He faced the Demon Lord head-on.
The Demon Lord is not an easy character to deal with. If Jiang Yan, who has not yet gone through the test of bloody battle, wanted to kill the Demon Lord, he might have to go through a hard fight.
But for Jiang Yan now, killing the Demon Lord is too easy.
Even he himself did not expect the Demon Lord to be so weak.
It might be because he had just been resurrected, and the Demon Lord was severely injured and has not yet recovered to his peak strength.
It could also be that Jiang Yan had made too many preparations for this day.
When the Demon-Breaking Sword pierced the Demon Lord's heart, the long sword made a humming sound; when the Demon Lord's body was annihilated by the forbidden spell of light and could never be resurrected; when the cheers of the human race came like a tidal wave, the dawn of victory was just around the corner.
Jiang Yan was in a trance for a moment.
He subconsciously touched the tassel of the Demon Sword and smiled faintly.
...I won.
So when will you come to see me?
When will the reunion be?
