Undead Wizard (6)
A few days ago.
When Millia woke up, she gasped heavily and curled up in a cold sweat.
She looked down at her wrist, which felt heavy and cold, and could not sense any magic in her body.
The shackles of insulated stone.
Milia held her forehead.
She never imagined that she, who had lived for nearly a hundred years, would fall into the hands of a teenage wizard.
She glanced around and saw that several people were in worse condition than her, but the elves had good self-healing abilities, so their lives should not be in danger.
However, after a moment, she suddenly thought of the insulated bullets that penetrated her body and became panicked.
Just as he was about to stand up to check on his companions, he was entangled by the chains on his feet and fell to the ground.
She hammered at the chain in frustration.
This was the thing she hated most in her life.
"Are you okay? Can you stand up?" A soft and low voice came from behind.
The voice texture is very young, but the tone is older, which is very inconsistent.
Turning her head, Millia saw the familiar blond hair and golden eyes.
This is the enemy monarch they have been dealing with frequently in the past few months.
Alex looked at her with a disarming smile and held out his hand: "Please stand up."
Millia would not offer any futile resistance and let him help her up. After all, her magic power was blocked and she could do nothing.
She glanced behind him warily, but no one was following her.
"Your partners, the bullets in their bodies have been taken out, they are no longer in danger of death, they just need to rest for a while," Alex smiled, brought a chair to her, and continued, "If you ask me, he is resting. He should have been the one to deliver the message, but he hasn't recovered from the backlash of the spell some time ago, so I think he will come with you."
Milia silently memorized the name and sat down anxiously.
Alex sat across from her. "Now I guess you wouldn't eat water or food if I gave you, so I ignored it. From the conclusion, we plan to let you go."
Even though Milia was prepared, she was still shocked. Her mind raced, but she still couldn't figure out why they did this. In the end, she could only say dryly, "...Are you kidding?"
Alex smiled and shook his head: "No. I will probably let you go after I explain everything to you. Now I am the highest commander of the people here. You will not be hindered by anyone, and time is very tight."
Miria twisted her hands together, feeling anxious.
What is this? They caught the person, cured him, and then let him go? Are they playing with him?
"Don't get me wrong, you are the only one who can go back now."
Alex's words made Milia look up suddenly.
Alex smiled faintly and said, "Whether you believe my explanation or not is up to you."
Milia didn't comment, she just stared at him with her brows furrowed and her lips bitten.
"We have a half-sister who inherited the blood of an elf. She has the ability to predict dreams, silver hair, and blue eyes. You are also an elf, so you should have some impression of her, right?"
Miria subconsciously wanted to refute: "How is it possible?! ... No, is it a strange person?"
Alex: "It's not just Livil that has the last elves left, there are also some in Chunie. My sister is the last bloodline in Chunie. I know that elves have the characteristic of staying young and living long, but my sister is relatively young, so not many people have discovered it yet."
Millia thought of the foresight and divine strategy they had shown in past wars, and only this could explain it.
"...So that's it." Milia muttered, and suddenly realized: "Wait, how do you know I'm an elf? I never told you."
There are many wealthy people in mainland China.
Alex smiled faintly: "I said, we have a prophet. This is to gain your trust and it is also a manifestation of our trust in you."
Milia was a little confused for a moment.
Alex quickly dropped another bomb: "Emperor Liweier will be assassinated soon. The assassin is Zhuoqi Liweier, the first prince of Liweier. After that, he joined forces with Prince Longduo to provoke a coup."
Milia's breathing seemed to be strangled.
"...What's wrong with you?" She stopped halfway through her speech.
Alex: "You may still have time to go back and save him now, because our actions have changed the specific events, so we don't know when the time will change. But what is certain is that Emperor Liweier will definitely set out to join the battlefield in the near future, and the First Prince will take this opportunity to assassinate him. Your teleportation magic is enough to rush back."
Alex didn't give her a chance to breathe. He pulled out a piece of paper from his tightly tied sleeves. "This is a diagram of a new spell for performing fixed-point teleportation and toxin extraction and treatment. He asked me to give it to you. The details of the spell and its pronunciation are written on it. He said it should be easy for a great wizard to learn it."
Milia took the drawing and saw a magic spell she had never heard of before.
"This is... why... it is impossible for God's creation to create a spell..." Her worldview was overturned.
"Because it was given by the goddess." Alex still used the best excuse, "The Pope received the oracle of the goddess, this is it."
Milia took a breath and asked excitedly: "This... there is more than one, right?"
Alex nodded. "There's more than one, but I can't give it to you right now."
Milia caught the rest of this sentence.
This means, in the future? Why? How can they be so kind? Their two countries are hostile to each other.
Alex said, "I know you have a lot of questions. Whether you believe it or not, I will let you go. As for whether you want to save your emperor in the future, it is entirely up to you to decide, even if you choose to return to the Liweier camp on the front line. But at that time, you will need to bear the consequences of your loss by yourselves."
Milia asked anxiously: "Why, since you know all this, you can tell our Prince!"
Alex smiled bitterly: "Don't you know Elena? Do you think she is willing to listen to you now?"
Only then did Milia come to her senses.
As a military commander, the only way Elena could have a peaceful discussion with the enemy was at the negotiation table after the war.
Having said that, his tone sounded as if he was very familiar with their crown prince.
Milia became more and more confused.
"Moreover, Li Weier is fighting with us now. Even if she knew that Emperor Li Weier himself would be in danger, her first choice would be to trust him, rather than rushing back to save him."
Milia knew this reason very well.
Because no one would believe that the strongest man in Liweier would be assassinated.
Alex: "It is said that the needle made of insulative stone was coated with poison, and that poison can kill a person within a few minutes. So the first thing you should do when you go to rescue him is to kill the person who poisoned him without hesitation, extract most of the poison from the emperor's body, and take him to a safe place to continue his treatment."
At this time, Millia knew why Alex chose her. First of all, because she was a great wizard and was good at teleporting magic, only she could rush back in a short time. Moreover, she was from Livil, she knew the area of Livil, and knew the people there.
Mackay Olin was the benefactor who preserved the remaining bloodline of the elves, gave them a place to survive, freed them from slavery, and restored their reputation.
It was that man who gave them a home.
Even if she was deceived, Milia would definitely rush back.
Milia quickly made up her mind, but she couldn't help asking, "Why help us?"
Alex's smile faded a little. "If you feel uneasy without a price, let me make a request. When you rescue him, tell him to end the war unconditionally. The emperor's life is worth this price, right?"
Milia nodded solemnly and looked at him with a strange look.
The elf wizard's rose-red eyes are as bright and vivid as bougainvillea among the flowers.
Alex somehow remembered Inger's red right eye. The color of the eye that was exposed after the injury was even more pure red, like his mother's.
Christine inherited his father's blue eyes, which are similar to Aura's, but the eyes of the elves he has seen so far are the same color as Miria's.
Could this be a coincidence?
I couldn't figure out the answer.
Alex quickly took the key and unlocked the shackles.
Milia practiced the new magic several times, collected a few magic stones, and rushed back desperately.
Finally, at the critical moment, he rushed to the palace and rescued the emperor.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I'll take you away!"
Milia had no time to look at the eldest prince, she just hit him casually, she was more concerned about the poisoned Mackay Olin.
She first moved MacArthur to a place outside the palace, where Ophira, one of MacArthur's three knights, was waiting for her - it was he who opened the door for Miria to enter the palace.
Miria first briefly drew out the poison from Mackay Olin to ensure that he would survive. Afterwards, the tall and strong knight hung the emperor with one hand and hugged the petite wizard with the other, and began the transfer again.
They moved day and night to the eastern border of Levitra.
Meanwhile, the person who stayed in Mackay Olin's room soon showed up. He swung his sword, and a thin layer of blood spilled on the ground.
He glanced at the head lying on the ground, which had been cleanly cut off by the sword, and turned to the window.
He is none other than the last of Mackay Olin's Three Knights, the Highlander.
Tang Ni was sent out to follow Elena. Ophira was guarding the palace gate, so he stayed with Mackay Olin. Because the eldest prince entered, he stood outside the door, hiding his body to protect Mackay Olin.
The tall knight with long hair tied up high did not have time to keep up with the great wizard, so he leaned out of the window and saw that the palace was surrounded by cavalry troops not sent by the emperor. He immediately jumped out of the window and climbed down using the window sill as a stepping stone.
He came face to face with Prince Longdor who was leading the team.
Prince Longduo's face was tense, and he asked, "Where are the people?"
Gao Lingshi said expressionlessly: "I killed the eldest prince. The emperor was poisoned by him and should not live long. However, he was taken away by the elf wizard who suddenly appeared."
"How is it possible?! I just received news that all the wizards on the front line were captured by Qune, including her. It's only been two days, how could she have returned here?"
Gao Lingshi: "How should I know? I couldn't track her. She ran too fast."
Prince Longduo bit his lip hard and ordered: "Stop the news from the palace. I have seen the effect of the poison. The emperor will definitely die. An elf wizard can't do much harm."
Gao Lingshi sneered: "Then you'd better pray that nothing unexpected happens."
Prince Londor glared at him fiercely, but they both knew that they had no way of catching up with the great wizard who was far away from teleporting magic.
Prince Longdor turned around and told a knight, "Send the letter and let him do it."
"yes!"
He then said to Gao Lingshi, "You should lead your troops to Elena right now."
Gao Lingshi smiled sarcastically and left him with a silent back.
