The Primordial Wizard

The mirror image clone saw more and more monsters in groups of three or four outside the city wall, and couldn't help feeling a tingling scalp.

Not long after the fleet left, monster attacks in the territory became more frequent. The mirror image made Ansesta organize the musketeers to attack immediately. monsters.

However, as the monster activities became active, more and more monster attacks occurred, and the Musketeer team also suffered casualties. The mirror image clone made a decisive decision, took everyone back into the city, and organized apprentices to step up the production of rifled flintlock guns and rifled steel pipe artillery. The musketeer militia was added as a fighting force for defending the city.

Looking at the red-eyed monsters fighting each other outside the city, the mirror image clone sighed heavily, and said to himself:

"Hurry up, the musketeer militia has only trained 500 people in a hurry. If the number of monsters continues to increase, we may need all the people to be soldiers! Fortunately, we have a large amount of charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur, which should be enough."

The mirror image continued to look at the monster, and thought a little anxiously: "The state of the monster is very abnormal. Although they are just beasts, most of them do not have human-like intelligence, but this kind of reckless killing and bloodthirsty is not normal. , It is necessary to catch some monsters to study the reason why they suddenly become mad and bloodthirsty."

The mirror image made Ansesta lead the Musketeers and Musketeers to continue patrolling the city wall, and then prepared to fly down the city wall with a flash technique. After a while, he used the magic crystal cage to catch five red-eyed monster.

He took the monster to the castle of the magic school and imprisoned it in the west tower.

At this time, Bayern sent a letter to him through the magic book outside the tower, and there was an important report.

As soon as Bayern entered the west tower, they bowed slightly to "Sharp", and then said:

"Master Sharp, there have been a lot of weird fights in the city recently, many of them are group fights.

I found that when they were fighting, they were all in a state of extreme agitation, loss of emotional control, and extreme violence. I have locked up these people. After observation, their eyes would flash red light from time to time. Every time the red light flashed, they They will be extremely manic! "

The mirror image clone said to Bayern: "These situations seem to be somewhat similar to monsters?"

Bayern nodded and said: "My lord, you are right, maybe it is a similar mechanism of influence, maybe we can study this mechanism to find the reason for the sudden collective tyranny of monsters.

In addition, I visited many barbarian families and asked the local elders. The barbarians called this collective manic attack of monsters a demon tide.

Legend has it that it happens every few decades and lasts for nearly a month. When the night of the waning moon comes, the demon tide will enter the most dangerous time. I don’t know that monsters will kill each other and attack other creatures including humans in large numbers. What’s more terrifying Even humans can go insane. "

At this moment, Leon and other government officials were listening to what a barbarian old man said.

"On the night of the waning moon, when the demon tide is the most terrifying, everyone must hide, hold your breath, control your emotions, control distracting thoughts, and prevent being infected by the demon tide.

Fall into madness! "

Leon frowned and said, "I remember wizard apprentices have a spell that allows people to suppress emotions and maintain reason, maybe..."

Looking back at the castle of the magic school, Bayern said to "Sharp": "I suspect that this change is similar to what we encountered in the Laer Mountains last time. At that time, the apprentices also suddenly fell into madness. The spell calmed everyone down, and tragedy was averted."

Of course the mirror image clone remembers that Ace was the apprentice next to him at that time, and he said seriously to Bayern: "Bring all the imprisoned people whose eyes had red light, we must use monsters to compare and observe them, If it is determined that the situation is consistent!"

The eyes of the mirror image revealed a trace of vigilance and worry. He thought of the abyss in the north, and continued: "It means that we all have the possibility of being affected by the demon tide."

Bayern quickly brought the detainees over, and the mirror image imprisoned them collectively, with the corresponding monsters next to them, and began to make records. As time passed, the records in the magic diary of the mirror image gradually increased.

"It has been confirmed that both monsters and humans will be affected by the demon tide, but humans are less affected. If we can keep calm and control distracting thoughts, humans can resist the influence of the red light flashing in the eyes to a certain extent.

After many experiments, the secondary mechanized mind and sedation can effectively help humans and monsters resist the effects of mania. Maybe we can build a ritual to bless everyone in the city with the effect of mechanized mind. I hope the main body will come back soon. There is no elf of the book assistance, it is difficult to complete in a short time.

According to the narration of the imprisoned humans, when the red light flashed, they seemed to hear some kind of tyrannical whisper, which made them become manic. This is somewhat similar to the condition of the ontology. I am more and more sure that there may be a source of pollution in the Laer Mountain Range .

Legend has it that the skull and flesh of a terrible demon were buried in the Laer Mountains. Could it be his influence? "

Just when the mirror image wrote the concluding words, a new battle had already started at the western city wall.

Carlo skillfully tore open the fixed powder pack with his teeth, and quickly poured granular powder into the gun barrel. He watched a monkey-like monster climbing the parapet, and calmly tamped the powder with a blower. , then took out the buckshot and stuffed it into the barrel with a cleaning rod.

The monster had already climbed up to the city wall and was opening its mouth towards him. They were only four meters apart.

Carlo grinned as he watched the monkey-like monster jump violently and rushed towards him. He could clearly smell the stench from the monster's mouth. Gunpowder was poured into the medicine tank at the back, and the trigger was pulled, and the sparks from the flint hit with a bang bang!

Accompanied by the thick smoke, the gas presses the cork at the bottom of the lead bullet and squeezes into the cavity, forcing the bottom of the bullet to expand and cling to the rifling. The bullet rotates at a high speed under the pressure of the rifling, and instantly flies out of the barrel!

The lead bullets spun out at high speed, forming a standard straight line, disturbing the air, and instantly hit the flying monster, right in its open bloody mouth, and the lead bullet easily pierced through the monkey-shaped monster's head, and the blood mist Diffuse.

The blood-red eyes of the monster quickly lost their brilliance, and they fell powerlessly from the wall. After killing the monster, Carlo spit vigorously and retreated with standard military steps. The soldiers behind him were ready, holding up their rifled flintlocks. The gun stepped forward.

Unlike smoothbore guns, rifled guns were much more accurate. The mirror images added sights to their rifled guns and cannons, making it easier for soldiers to kill and injure monsters within 200 meters.

But there are too many monsters, and there will always be some fish that slip through the net and rush to the city wall. Ansesta drew out his long sword and slashed back and forth by the city wall to kill the monsters until late at night, finally repelling this wave of crazy and irrational monsters.

At this time, Ace led the fleet to the port.

Standing on the top of the mast of the magic ship, Ace activated the soul spell "ultrasonic search perception", and found that the port area and the paved road were empty, only some monsters with red eyes were fighting and biting each other.

Ace asked the Qiuzhi to wait for the ship to stop, and then used the flash technique to fly to the midair of the port area first, then activated the secondary magic air cushion, and slowly fell.

As soon as he stood on the ground, Ace suddenly felt trembling and a shock in his soul, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
