Chapter 119: Miracle City

  These rings were shrouded in a strange black mist, and Shia began to think that this was the power of some vengeful spirit. Upon hearing Dororo say so, it did seem somewhat strange.

  The power of life? But why does it look so evil and terrifying?!

  "It's simple, because these life forces were forcibly stripped away, and the magic of extracting life force itself was improved from the magic of extracting spirits." Dora sneered in her mind.

  The unlucky magician who died at the hands of Shaya was relieved of his pockets by Shaya and Dororo, and sure enough they found a well-hidden sheepskin book. After Shaya snatched it away and took a few glances, he saw that it was full of strange symbols that looked like ghostly drawings.

  "This is the language of Magike, a language used exclusively by magicians. This is the magic to extract life force." Dororo let out a sigh immediately, his greedy eyes fixed on the sheepskin scroll in Shaya's hand.

  "Shirafunkya last appeared in the Imperial Capital of Osgilia, leaving a message at the headquarters of the Church, and at the same time writing a magical incantation on the wall. That magical incantation was the method he used to extract life force from undead spirits using necromancy, which he improved into a technique for extracting life force!"

  Duoduo Luo was somewhat excited: "Although that section of the curse was strictly forbidden, it still spread through some channels. This is probably what Xilafengke Ya had in mind, but unfortunately, the magical symbol left behind by this madman is not complete, at least he did not leave a complete extraction method, so... following that method to cultivate... for hundreds of years, who knows how many magicians have tried, but unfortunately, they all failed to reach the level of Xilafengke Ya back then."

  The spirit of Sheila Frank is to use shortcuts to enable more people to gain power, but even with shortcuts, there are no zero thresholds. The significance lies in the fact that he greatly lowers this threshold.

  To practice the "Life Curse Technique" left by Xilafenkya, you must first be an undead mage! You need to learn how to extract soul energy, and then on this basis, you can extract life force.

  The second threshold, it seems, was left behind by Xi Lian Feng himself... The cultivation method he left behind is incomplete, a defective version. Cultivating with this defective version, the cultivator will find that although they can extract others' life force, when casting magic, their own life force will still be consumed - only the degree of consumption has been greatly reduced.

  A spell is cast, most of which consumes the extracted life force, but at the same time, the magician's own life force will also be slightly consumed.

  This small amount is relative. Although the consumption of each magic is small, it accumulates to a large extent, and the more magic is used... the magician himself will inevitably have a short life.

  Xī lā fēn kè yà gù yì méi yǒu gōng bù wán zhěng bǎn de xiū liàn fǎ mén, tā de yòng yì méi yǒu rén néng liǎo jiě.

  Later generations have speculated about his methods, and one idea that has been accepted by a minority is:

  Essentially, Xilafenkyar is a "noble" guy. Although he created several plague disasters and killed many lives, his intention from start to finish was to pursue power. Even this pursuit is a manifestation of "selflessness".

  His significance lies in that he left the world with a possibility, opened a door and pointed out a new path! As for how to walk this path after it has been pointed out, he doesn't care. Instead, the world needs to bring out more of its own wisdom to explore.

  If he directly publicized the complete method of Fa, then... it would instead cause people's laziness: just cultivate according to this method and that's all.

  So, the significance of Schr?dinger is that he didn't directly tell you what to do, but through his affairs told people: everything is possible!

  "In his words: 'Give me a flock of sheep that's large enough, and I can take on a mage! Give me an even larger flock, and I can even challenge an existence that's stronger...'"

  What is a more powerful existence?

  It's really making people imagine endlessly...

  Unfortunately, this intention of Shira Finkelstein was not carried out by later generations.

  For hundreds of years after his death, the life curse technique he left behind was not passed down.

  On the one hand, it was due to the church's restrictions and suppression of life-curse magic. On the other hand, it was also because the incomplete version of magic had many defects, and later generations did not have a genius like Shirafunkia to complete it.

  If... every time magic is cast, it would reduce one's lifespan by a few years, such a price would be unacceptable to most people, unless it was a matter of life and death.

  And the third reason is the most critical: the incomplete version of the Life Curse Technique has a "heinous" flaw when cultivated!

  What would be the result of cultivating the complete version of the Life Curse Technique?

  In theory, as long as there are enough living beings around, the magician's own power is infinite! Just like Shirafunkya said "Enough sheep"!

  Anyway, no need to consume one's own life force!!

  However, the defective version of the Life Curse spell has lost its effect of infinite power! Because the magician himself still needs to consume life force, only... The degree of consumption has been greatly reduced.

  But such an incomplete action has brought about a subtle result:

  Division of levels

  And this result is really thought-provoking.

  Other magic has levels, low-level, mid-level, high-level, from level one to nine.

  And Shilafunkya's genius lies in his ability to ignore hierarchy!

  The incomplete version of the life curse technique, yet it has been divided into levels. This level division is no longer based on magic power, but rather on the high and low of the magician's own life force.

  Or in other words... it's up to how much of your life force you are willing to pay out!

  The more life force you sacrifice, the stronger the power you gain, and vice versa.

  Many people can't understand why Shira Fenkya broke the rules and then intentionally created another rule, with some viciously speculating that Shira Fenkya is deliberately retaliating against humanity.

  Xia Ya did not immediately agree to Doro's request, but instead temporarily sent away the disappointed magician's entourage and was alone, patiently asking Dora for guidance.

  "The art of life curses can be broadly divided into three categories, so the correct name is not curse, but incantation. The first type is divination." Dora's voice became serious! "Don't laugh! What's funny about divination? Prediction itself is a kind of magical power. Whether it's the high-ranking clergy of Byzantium or Odin's great priest, they all have abilities in this field. Life incantations themselves originate from magic, having such abilities is not strange."

  "The second category is blessing empowerment assistance, including spiritual assistance and physical assistance: courage empowerment, physical healing treatment, strength empowerment, speed empowerment, even life empowerment, and so on."

  "The third type is the aggressive magic, which is exactly the opposite of the second type. It deprives the enemy of courage, deepens the enemy's wounds, absorbs the enemy's life force and so on... Because the life curse does not belong to other systems, it itself does not have any attributes of attacking properties such as wind, fire, water or earth."

  "According to the summary and classification of life spells by human magicians over the centuries, the highest level of life spells is divided into nine types:"

  Divination: Divinatory Arts

  Bravery Boost: Support Type.

  Therapy, also known as Life Supplement: Auxiliary Class.

  Power Infusion: Support Type

  Speed Boost: Support Type.

  Courage Drain, also known as Fear Tactics: Attack Type.

  Life Drain, also known as Harmful Aura: Attack Type.

  Power Drain, also known as Weakness Technique: Attack type.

  Speed Drain, also known as Slowdown Technique: Attack type.

  It can be seen that auxiliary and attacking classes are almost the same kind of magic effect, but with opposite purposes.

  In terms of grading, the Life Curse Technique is now divided into four levels based on how much life force a magician is willing to sacrifice.

  First-level characters can have three spells, automatically gaining one divination spell (Augury), plus one helper and one attacker.

  Second level, with five spells, on the basis of the first level can get an additional auxiliary and attack each.

  The third level can cast seven spells, still one more auxiliary and one more attack.

  At level 4, you can fully cast nine magic items.

  However, even so, the existing mages who practice the incomplete version of the Life Spell, when they reach the fourth level, have nine spells, but are far from comparable to Shilafunkya in her heyday, and their strength is roughly equivalent to that of a mid-tier mage.

  "So, there should be an even higher level of the Life Curse, but... Now that the complete cultivation method is gone, it's impossible to gain more understanding."

  It's no wonder that Dora, the genius among the dragon tribe, explained it in great detail. However, after finishing her explanation, Dora asked Shia in a strange tone, "Are you really planning to let your magician apprentice practice this magic? His magical power is really too weak. Practicing the Life Spell would be a quick way to increase his strength, but..."

  "What's up?" Xia Ya smiled mischievously.

  Dora hummed: "You'll know later! The power upgrade is not that simple! Shirafunkya didn't leave a complete cultivation method back then, but intentionally wrote an incomplete version. I think there must be some deeper meaning! Moreover, have you noticed that the existing nine life spells are almost useless in a battle between magicians? Whether it's attack magic or support magic, they all seem to focus on physical strength while neglecting magical power! They lack magical offense and defense capabilities.

  "With such a life of curses, if the enemy is a warrior, it may be possible to gain the upper hand. But once you encounter a battle between mages, what do you think? Whether it's Slow or Weaken, or even Damage Increase... How much effect will they have on a mage who casts spells from a distance?"

  Xia Ya was stunned.

  "The magician you met today, although he has practiced life spells, but when he attacked you, he used undead magic! This guy is actually an undead magician, and it's not unusual for an undead magician to practice a little life spell. However, nowadays, no undead magician would use life spells as their main power. For example, the attack this magician made on you today was a type of undead magic called Corpse Decomposition Technique. That's standard undead magic."

  Xia Ya recalled the terrifying black light emitted by that magician, which could directly "melt" a person's body, leaving only a skeleton, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

  If it weren't for Long Xuan's defense today, I'm afraid I would have become a skeleton by now!

  "In short, my view is that the Life Spell, without a complete version of Shirafunkia, the existing incomplete version does not have much value, especially when facing an enemy who is a magician. A simple Life Spell cannot withstand any attack from a magician of any system. At least without a magic shield, the Life Spell cannot withstand any magical attack. Among these nine spells, there isn't even a defensive spell!"

  Xia Ya thought for a moment, and first dispelled the idea of cultivating this magic: What a joke! To consume one's own life force? Although the degree of consumption has been greatly reduced. But he was still young and vigorous, and he didn't want to become an old man after casting a few more spells.

  Moreover, even if it were a life spell, although the demand for magic power is not high, at least some low-level magic power must be used as a foundation... Xia Ya... he's not a magician.

  "Then... let that guy Dororo cultivate!"

  Xia Ya took out the sheepskin scroll and looked at it carefully for a while before making a decision.

  "Your decision... I hope you won't regret it." Dora's tone was somewhat mocking, and Tuo Wu felt a thread of unease, but no matter how he asked, Dora didn't respond again.

  That night, the crowd rested in the forest for a night. This time they were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties, especially Afreca's Wolf Tooth Warrior Team lost more than half of its strength. It can be foreseen that even if they went to the Imperial Capital, they would not be able to achieve any good results in this competition.

  The people of Lantis didn't seem to have much dissatisfaction, Gu Luo even enthusiastically sent over some medicine for wounds. However, Xia Ya excused herself saying she needed rest due to her injuries and didn't say much to Gu Luo.

  The next morning, Xia Ya summoned the magician's entourage. Dororo clearly hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were bloodshot.

  "First of all, I need to make something clear with you." Xia Ya looked into Duoduo Luo's eyes: "About the Life Curse magic, you must know more than me, after all, you claim to be a magician... Ah, okay, don't glare at me," You really are a magician. So you should know that using the Life Curse magic will consume your life force. The cultivation method left behind by Xilafeng Ke is not complete, and if you cultivate this magic, it's very likely... no, not very likely, but certain that you will lose some of your lifespan. Are you willing to do so?"

  Dorothy's face was unexpectedly firm and resolute as she replied without hesitation, "I'm willing!"

  "...Why?" The magician's sudden burst of courage left Xia Ya astonished: this guy was usually timid and greedy.

  Dororo suddenly puffed out his chest, and on that ugly face, a light seemed to emanate from it. He clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "Because I am a magician! I, Dororo, am a magician! A noble and powerful magician! Magicians shouldn't be stable boys or blacksmiths! Magicians should be noble and powerful beings!! Magicians should stand on the clouds as strong ones! Not rolling around in the mud like wild dogs!!"

  Xia Ya listened and looked at Duoduo Luo with a smile that was not quite a smile: "Huh? It seems that you have accumulated a lot of resentment in your heart."

  Dororo immediately bowed his head, putting on a humble and flattering smile: "Oh no! I wouldn't dare! Master, even if I were a magician, I would still be your humble servant and attendant..."

  "Then... it's as you wish!"

  Xia Ya's decision was music to the ears of the magician, and Dororo was overjoyed, jumping up and cheering, almost hugging Totoro tightly and kissing him twice.

  Fortunately, Tuo Niu kicked Mudoro in time with one foot. Although Tuo Niu was also seriously injured, he still had the strength to kick away Mudoro.

  In the morning, Xia Ya and Duoduo slipped away from the others and quietly entered the deepest part of the forest. He clearly told Gu Luo and the others: My entourage needs a quiet place to cast magic.

  Zhong Luo and others also showed respect, naturally they wouldn't send someone to secretly spy on him. Sneaking a peek at a magician casting magic is a dangerous thing, let alone now that Gu Luo has received the order to get along with Xiaya, he naturally wouldn't provoke this guy.

  Xia Ya walked to the deepest part of the forest and took out the sheepskin paper.

  In addition, something was found on that dead magician's body. It was a magic scroll, a simple contract scroll.

  Xia Ya threw the contract scroll in front of Duoduo, stroked his chin and smiled: "You should recognize what this thing is, right?"

  Duoduo only took a glance, his face turned somewhat unsightly, he fell silent for a moment, and bitterly smiled: "I know, this is a magic contract scroll, once used, the magic contract exists in the soul, cannot be violated. If violated, the magic law will backlash, taking back the violator's power..."

  "It's very simple." Xia Ya made no attempt to conceal his intentions: "You are my follower, but I'm also very clear that your loyalty is somewhat questionable. You want to gain power, but you have to pay the price for it, right? I'm a fair person. This dead magician was killed by me, and his things are all mine as spoils of war. You didn't even exert half an effort. I can give it to you, or not give it to you at all - that's my prerogative. I don't have the obligation to give you such a great gift for free, do I?"

  Duoduo sighed: "I understand."

  "So you still have a choice, if you're not willing, I'll take these things back. You can continue to be my attendant, and in the future when you've earned money, you can redeem your freedom and no longer follow me. But if you must have this life curse, then I need to make sure that you will be loyal to me. These are my spoils of war, if you want them, you'll have to pay a price... it's only fair."

  "It's only fair." Dodoro's attitude calmed down, he no longer hesitated, and immediately picked up the magic scroll. After unfolding it, he lightly shook it in his hand, and with a hint of magical power, the scroll quickly auto-ignited, releasing a strange silver glow that split into two parts and entered Dodoro and Shaya's bodies.

  "I, Dororo, have signed a magical contract. For as long as I live, I am willing to serve as Shuya-sama's loyal servant and will not betray him."

  Shaya nodded after chanting in Majic and ordinary language for two rounds, and he also said a sentence of Majic language loudly: "Deal."

  This simple word was learned from Dora last night.

  Soon, the magic scroll burned out, and the two silvery glows entered their bodies and disappeared.

  "Well... let's get started then." Xia Ya touched his own face, seemingly without any unusual reaction, and felt a thrill of excitement. This was still his first time carefully experiencing the feeling of magic being cast on himself. It didn't seem to be any different though.

  Tatara stripped off all his clothes, putting everything he had taken from the dead magician in front of him. First, he opened a bottle and took out a special pen, dipped it in some powder that Shayah didn't know what it was, and Tatara began to draw magical symbols on his own body, especially on his chest and heart area.

  These runes are exactly the same as the life spell on that sheepskin paper.

  The process took nearly two hours, and he was busy with sweat all over his head, but his expression was extremely serious and solemn, ensuring that every stroke was flawless before finally putting down the pen and letting out a long sigh.

  His entire body was covered in black tattoos, and Xia Ya asked, "What's with these?" before Duoduo explained: These special powders were made from grinding bones into powder and adding some special magical reagents, they were things used exclusively by necromancers. And the Life Curse Technique was based on necromancy, so these things were the most basic preparations for cultivation.

  Then, Totoro raised both hands to hold a piece of sheepskin, with a devout expression on his face, sitting naked there, holding the sheepskin over his head, and began to chant the incantation recorded on the sheepskin.

  He was reciting the Magician's Magic language, with a rhythmic tone and strange pronunciation symbols, Shaya couldn't understand at all. Instead, as Dororo's chanting continued, the magician's face became increasingly tense. Soon, a faint mist appeared on his face, which was extremely thin, but Dororo had already apparently exhausted himself. He chanted with all his might, his forehead covered in sweat, and his complexion grew weaker and more fatigued.

  At last, the black runes on his body flickered with a faint light, but this light was still very weak, and even seemed to be intermittent. However, Mordo seemed to have let out a sigh of relief.

  Soon, those runes began to flow, and those runes seemed to come alive on the bony chest of Duo Luo, flowing rapidly before gradually disappearing into his skin, quickly vanishing from sight!

  Todor's eyes suddenly burst forth with a layer of light, and the instantaneous brightness of that light also shocked Xia Ya!

  "He succeeded, he has merged with the magical runes." Dora sighed in her mind. "This guy is lucky, his magic is really too low, barely meeting the minimum standard for practicing life spells."

  Because there were outsiders present, Xia Ya didn't communicate with Dora, he just hummed and immediately heard in his mind Dora saying: "The next step is the most crucial one... Decision!"

  "What's going on?" Xia Ya finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, fortunately Duoduo was fully focused and didn't notice Xia Ya's "talking to herself".

  "It's a choice." Dora sneered: "It must be decided by oneself, how much life force they are willing to split out for the initial cultivation of the Life Curse."

  At this moment, Duoduo's face was struggling and painful, as if hesitating about something. He was sweating profusely, but his mouth still managed to utter a spell in a difficult tone...

  The incantation's sound was strange, and Xia still couldn't understand it, but the Dora in her mind suddenly exclaimed: "Heavens! Your attendant has gone mad!! He... he..."

  Dora seemed somewhat surprised and finally said: "He chose to split out half of his life force!!"

  Really?

  Even Xia Ya was slightly surprised.

  This Dumelo, has such a strong desire for power?!

  Half of one's vitality is equivalent to giving up half of one's life span!!

  As Totoro finished his incantation, the last symbol on his chest completely disappeared. Totoro's body began to tremble, and he quickly grabbed a dagger placed in front of him, with a hint of desperation flashing in his eyes...

  Splash!

  He personally cut off a small finger on his left hand! A black air wrapped around it... The blood and flesh on it quickly dissolved, turning into a white bone joint.

  At this moment, Duoduo Luo's face was tense to the extreme, staring fixedly at the white bones in front of him...

  Finally, the white bones slowly split apart, becoming two pieces... three pieces...

  The fracture stopped here.

  Looking at the white bones that had only been divided into three sections, a huge sense of loss and despair surged onto Duoduo Luo's face. However, he gritted his teeth fiercely, took a deep breath, and continued to chant the spell.

  Three skull bones slowly floated up in front of Dororo, and soon changed into different colors. One turned crimson red, one turned black, and the last one turned green...

  When Duoduo finished reciting the last note, he seemed to be extremely weak and fell forward, falling to the ground, tightly grasping his own three phalanges in his hand.

  The magician struggled with all his might and sat up again, holding three bones in the palm of his hand, but his face was filled with despair and loss.

  "Poor guy..." Dora sighed in her mind, "He has a great determination, admirable. However, his physical body and life force are too weak, even if he sacrificed half of his life force, the total amount is still too small, so he only reached the first level of Life Spell... which means he only got three Life Spell magic. The red bone is Insight Divination, the black one is Life Drain, and the green one is Life Healing."

  Xia Ya also sighed. Poor Duoduo, who made such a great sacrifice...

  At this time, Duoduo suddenly changed his face, closed his eyes and fainted. The three bones in the palm of his hand quickly disappeared into his palm.

  "Don't worry, he's just too emotionally excited. Those three bones will be magical tools that have merged with his life after this, and they can hide in his body at any time, only to be summoned when casting magic."

  "Insight into divination...... life deprivation and life treatment." Xia Ya frowned: "First-class three kinds of magic, I can understand it, after all, this guy's body was not very good to begin with.

  His total life force isn't that much, is it? But... how does one decide which three types of magic a revolutionary gets? Is it also predetermined by some sort of ranking system?"

  "It's not... " Dora seemed to hesitate for a moment: "It's probability. To put it simply, it's just coincidence and luck. I don't know the specifics either, but that's just how life magic is - every level up gets you two more spells, one auxiliary and one attack, but which two you get is unpredictable. Because it's power gained from converting life force, generally speaking, it will reflect the strongest aspect of the magician themselves. The first spell you acquire is usually the strongest aspect of your innate abilities."

  Dora paused for a moment before explaining, "Your follower's first-level acquisition is life deprivation and treatment. In other words, his overall quality already has life force as his greatest advantage."

  Xia Ya rolled her eyes directly!

  Dororo's physical body was already very weak, yet his vitality was still his strongest advantage?!

  So that's what it means... Other life magic: courage, strength, speed...

  Compared to Dororo's weak life force, this guy's courage, strength and speed are even worse!!

  It's really... what a waste of space...

  With such a feeling, Xia Ya looked at Duoduo and saw that he was indeed just simply unconscious, so she felt relieved.

  "Yi? Didn't he already lose half of his life force? How come his appearance doesn't look aged at all." Xia Ya was somewhat curious.

  "This is a characteristic of the life curse magic, generally speaking, aging will only manifest at the last moment. Simply put, a magician, if his original lifespan was sixty years old, after sacrificing half of it, he can live to thirty years old. However, only in that year when he turns thirty, will he suddenly rapidly age within a year. And before his death, his appearance will remain the same as when he first merged, which is also a kind of eternal youth to some extent. Perhaps, this is a compensation and balancing effect of the life law for cultivating this kind of life magic."

  Xia Ya was taken aback for a moment.

  Suddenly, Tui Bei couldn't help but think of an idea: "Ah? So to speak, life magic actually has some special uses! I've heard that women all hope to stay young forever! If a woman cultivates life magic and splits off one year's worth of life force at the age of twenty, it would only cost her one year of lifespan! But she could maintain the appearance of being twenty years old until her death! This kind of thing is probably something most women in the world would be willing to do!"

  Dora seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then the mother dragon coldly sneered: "You fool, do you think the law of life can be easily exploited by you?! Hmph! To get the effect of eternal youth, you must first practice the magic spell of life! At least you have to reach the lowest level of first grade! But do you think that just contributing one year's worth of life force is enough to reach the first grade? Don't forget, this guy in front of you, he paid half his lifespan to reach the first grade!!"

  Xia Ya sighed.

  After a while, Xia Ya finally spoke up: "No matter what... this guy is now considered to have some strength, right? Hmm, life healing and life draining are two pretty good spells. In the future, when I'm fighting with others and get injured, this guy can help me immediately heal my injuries."

  And when facing an enemy... Heh heh! Life Drain is also a very lethal spell!"

  Dora's response was an eerie cold laugh.

  In the laughter, there seems to be some disdain, some mockery, and even more... as if it's... gloating?!

  Seems like... this mother dragon has some ill intentions? Why do I have a feeling of being deceived?

  Xia Ya felt a sense of unease in her heart.

  After waking up, Duo Luo didn't seem to have much difference, except that his left hand was missing a finger. After simple bandaging and applying some medicine, the magician could barely endure it.

  However, Shaya was somewhat excited and couldn't help but ask Dororo to demonstrate the new magic he had just acquired several times... Dororo was extremely helpless about this.

  "This... respected old gentleman, you should know that the magic I've obtained, every time I use it, consumes my life force..." Dororo couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time.

  Xia Ya thought it was reasonable, thinking that to satisfy his curiosity, he would have to let Fu Cong lose a few years of his life, which seemed excessive, so he gave up immediately.

  After resting enough, the group set off again. The Black Armor Warrior, Afrecaht, was heavily injured and seemed to be in a very low mood. This time, he led his team to the Imperial Capital, hoping that with his own skills and the excellent combat power of his team, they could achieve good results in the tournament, obtain generous rewards, and increase the reputation of his warrior group.

  But now they were ambushed halfway and suffered heavy casualties, which made them disheartened.

  After burying the deceased companion, he had already given up on the idea of continuing to the Imperial City for the tournament. With his current injuries, the wound on his shoulder would take at least a few months to fully heal, and the tournament was just within a month. He was in no way able to make it to the competition.

  But lacking their own core strength and having lost nearly half of their troops, in a team competition, they probably wouldn't have much hope.

  Thinking of this, Avreca had some thoughts of giving up, but now that his companions were injured, they still needed to head to the nearest town to find a doctor for treatment.

  Having learned of Afreca's intentions, Shaya thought for a moment and found Afreca, asking directly: "You've lost so many companions, are you willing to just quit like this? And not avenge the grudge against that Silver Viper Warrior Team?"

  Afurika's face turned pale, his eyes showed a hint of resentment, and then he hid it, gritting his teeth: "What's the use of being resentful? In terms of strength, the Silver Python Warrior Team is much stronger than us. They have money and power, while we are just from a small place... That Philip himself has connections with some nobles, the Silver Python Warrior Team serves the nobles and receives their support. I...I..."

  Xia Ya hummed, looking at Afulekaiti: "I didn't mean anything else, if you want to give up, it's up to you... I'm not that easy-going, if you don't take revenge, I'll go find them and make trouble for them."

  Afureka listened, and his face suddenly showed a moved expression, but before he could speak, Xia Ya waved her hand: "Don't be grateful to me, I just couldn't swallow this myself. That guy ambushed me on the road, humph, dared to provoke me, I won't let it go like this! But, I'll ask you one thing... are you still willing to work with me?"

  Afurika's face suddenly flushed with anger, his chest heaved as he bellowed: "Dare! What don't I dare?! I, Afurika, am no coward! How can I not avenge my dead brothers?! This tone, I also cannot swallow!"

  Xia Ya said nothing more, patted Afreca lightly on the back and turned to leave.

  "What do you want to do? Are you really going to take in this little brother?" In her mind, Dora sneered: "Or are you planning to swallow up this small martial arts team? I'm baffled, what's so valuable about this tiny team that's worth your attention."

  "Hmph, I just wanted to make up for it." Xia Ya said in a bad tone: "You ghost, do you think everyone is like you, thinking about scheming against others? That life curse technique... never mind! You must be hiding something from me! I learned this guy's swordsmanship, can't I get some compensation? Besides, that damned Silver Python Warrior team provoked me, and I almost got killed by that magician. Daring to provoke me, I will definitely bite back!"

  Because there were many wounded people in the team, the speed of rushing on the road slowed down.

  Fortunately, there were no more ambushes or obstructions on the road. That Philip was also intimidated by Xaya's magical prowess and didn't dare to come looking for trouble again.

  It wasn't until the seventh day that they finally arrived at their destination after spending a lot of time on the road.

  The imperial capital of the Byzantine Empire, the first heroic city on the continent, Osgiliath!!

  At noon that day, the crowd walked along the big road, and in the distance, they saw the majestic outline of a distant place slowly emerging on the horizon.

  Xia Ya rode on horseback, and when he first saw the majestic and prosperous capital of Jianyan Continent, Tu Bie felt his heart being violently shocked in an instant!

  He opened his mouth wide, staring blankly and rigidly at this human wonder in front of him!!

  He trembled for a moment, then muttered to himself: "Damn it... It's too damn magnificent!! How was such a huge city built?!"
