Chapter 624 It’s better to come sooner than later

   I have to say, this really surprised Duanmu Huai.

  The so-called divine knights, according to the words of the empire, are psychics who have received the attention of the emperor.

  The so-called "Emperor pays attention to everyone, but there are always some people who are more favored by him" is used to refer to this group of guys with people on top.

  Of course, this kind of attention is not random. Basically, the gods belong to the existence with powerful spiritual power, so they receive the attention of the gods.

   But this is not a good thing. If Duanmuhuai meets a family member of an evil god, he will definitely kill him directly to avoid future troubles. And the same gods like Emilia will be targeted by other evil gods or devils, and the chances of either falling or being killed are higher.

  From this point of view, this world can be regarded as a typical example of the success of the "Black Hole Project".

  Originally, there will always be psychic beings born in this world, and you can't prevent them from being born. This is the same as there are evil gods in the world, and they don't exist if you don't admit it. When the black hole plan was implemented, the issue of these psykers was considered. This is also one of the reasons for the second stage of the god-making plan. If there are no local indigenous gods, then the psykers are prone to being interfered by subspace. , then they must all be the henchmen of the evil god.

Therefore, it is necessary to create a large number of gods to divert the beliefs of psykers, whether they believe in local aborigines or other gods. Slow down the opponent's recovery speed.

  Xinshou Village and this world are typical examples. There are as many gods as there are stars, diverting a lot of psykers, so that when the evil gods came here to hold a job fair, they discovered that the talents were basically monopolized by local companies...

   Hey, this is very comfortable.

  Speaking of which, the members of the knight order and the guards all respected her when they saw her.

  Duanmuhuai only remembered at this time that when Emilia took them to investigate in Neverwinter, whether it was the patrolling knights or the soldiers of the guard, they would all greet Emilia. At that time, Duanmu Huai didn't take it seriously, but thought it was because of Emilia's good looks that she was popular. Looking back now, it might have something to do with Emilia's status as a divine knight.

  If this is the case, the purpose of Erebus sending Emilia to lead the investigation team is very strange.

At the very beginning, Duanmuhuai was very disgusted when he saw Emilia and Luo Qixi. In his opinion, they were just two young girls. I guess Erebes just sent them a mission. So that they would not get in the way, that's why I got involved with myself. Simply put, I treated myself as a nanny.

  But now this idea is obviously untenable. Unless Erebeth is the ghost, how could it be possible to take his own knight of the gods into the gutter?

   Aren't you afraid that a thunderbolt from Tyre will strike her to death?

   Or is this the test of the divine knight?

   Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

   But then again...

   "You'd better not rush so far."

  Duanmuhuai pressed Emilia's shoulder and pulled her back.

   "But, but here..."

   "The pollution of the scale of corruption is not so easy to eliminate, and you don't have much power left."

That's right, although as long as Emilia moves forward, the growths in the place where her brilliance shines will retreat, but most of that still depends on Emilia's own spiritual power, although here are all It's just some fragile corrupt believers, but Emilia's approach is still a bit of a seven wound punch.

   It's okay to fight like this for a short time, but once it becomes a long-term war, it's another matter.

   "Hoo... Hoo..."

   Sure enough, Emilia was panting and sweating profusely at this moment.

   "But, but the evil here has not been completely purified..."

   "Purify the fart, if you keep it, it will be a disaster, and it will be over if you burn it!"

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he raised the warhammer and slammed it down in front of his eyes. The black flames spread and exploded instantly, covering everything around him in a sea of ​​burning flames in the blink of an eye. These black flames seemed to be consciously Avoiding Duanmuhuai and the others, he just devoured everything he came into contact with.

   "These monsters seem to be afraid of your flame, Mr. Duanmu?"

  Emilia also discovered this, and those plague mutants were more afraid of the Duanmuhuai flame than their own holy light. Although she didn't feel any evil power from the black flame, the breath of the burning flame really made her uncomfortable.

   "It's normal, because this is their natural enemy."

  Hearing Amelia's question, Duanmuhuai showed a ferocious smile. The Scale of Corruption is the **** of life, and the Black Flame is the doomed death, the end of all death in the world. The two can be said to be completely opposite, so the rot will instinctively fear the black flame of Duanmuhuai, of course - Duanmuhuai will not let this group of damned heretical **** go just because they look pitiful.

Compared to Amelia and Duanmuhuai in the front line, Augis and Luo Qixi in the back seemed a little more leisurely, but Augis was really leisurely, she even held a book in one hand and read it while walking, At the same time, the fingers of the left hand drooped and trembled slightly, and then the scattered invisible silk threads surrounded the surroundings like this, cutting everything that dared to hinder him into thin slices.

Luo Qixi, on the other hand, had a bitter face, clutching her staff tightly and looking around anxiously. The erosion inside the fortress in front of her also gave Luo Qixi a great shock—it was the first time she had seen it when she grew up. To a scene so horrific, disgusting and eerie, it could be called hell.

   "Wow!"

   Just when everyone turned the corner, the wall next to Luo Qixi suddenly collapsed, and then a mutant roared and raised his long sword and rushed over.

   "Whoah!"

  Seeing a monster that suddenly appeared in front of her with a green and swollen body full of twisted and mutated flesh, Luo Qixi was so frightened that she froze. However, Augis only slightly pointed with her left hand, and then saw the silk thread quickly condensed into a knight spear, directly piercing through the chest of the deformed body, nailing it to the wall behind, the next moment black The flames flowed down, engulfing the deformed body completely in the blink of an eye like flames meeting gasoline.

   "Tsk tsk tsk, look at you."

  Duanmuhuai glanced at Luo Qixi in disgust.

   "A mage will yell in the back, what's the use of you?"

   "I, I'm just a mage!"

   Luo Qixi was about to cry right now.

   As for targeting me along the way?

   "I'm not like you and Miss Amelia, I don't have the ability to fight in close quarters..."

   "What are you talking about, I am also a mage, and I graduated from Zheng'er Bajing Magic Academy."

"………Aha?"

"Why?"

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, not only Luo Qixi was stunned, but even Emilia turned her head to look at Duanmu Huai in surprise.

   "Mr. Duanmu, are you a mage?"

   "What? Don't you believe me?"

  Duanmu Huai snorted softly, raised his left hand and released an [Ice Lance Stab], only to see several ice thorns suddenly appear out of thin air, and then whizzed past, turning the Nurgling not far away into skewers.

   "???"

   Seeing this scene, Emilia and Luo Qixi were numb.

   "Wait, isn't this the effect of some magic item?"

   "Do you think I'm the kind of person who cheats? Tell you, even if I don't use a warhammer, I can hammer you to death with magic!"

   "No, but you are wearing heavy armor. The chance of casting a spell with heavy armor is... no, so why do you wear it like this?"

   "Mages, just use the flash spell and fill up the Whirlwind to chop it up! You are going astray!"

   "Am I going astray?"

   Luo Qixi was speechless.

  She is one of the most outstanding graduates in the history of the Academy of Magic, how can she be called astray? On the other hand, if you go to the academy and talk so nonsense in front of the teachers, they... uh, they don't seem to be able to do anything to you.

  Recalling Duanmuhuai's fighting style before, Luo Qixi shrank silently.

   "As for you...you can't order Whirlwind, but it's pretty good to learn the stealth of a thief."

   "I'm a mage, you want me to learn thieves?"

  Hearing this, Luo Qixi couldn't accept it immediately.

   "What does it matter? After learning stealth and silent casting, you can hide and launch a surprise attack. Isn't this better than being sneaked by others?"

  What Duanmuhuai said is also a technique that players often use in this world. This world is very popular with players. One of the reasons is that the magic here is very diverse. Although the attack spells are basically a bit weak and the players don't like them, other spells are very useful to the players.

Just like a mage's mansion, it is basically necessary for late players to download large-scale dungeons, because most of the late-stage large-scale dungeon players are fighting in the world of evil gods, and fighting in this kind of place, you can't even take a rest. Wherever you rest and rest, you will be polluted by the other party.

   At this time, it is very important to have a mage mansion. Although the space opened up by a player is not large, it can completely isolate the influence of the outside world and allow the team to rest very comfortably.

  So when players download dungeons in the later stage, they often see requests on the public screen to "come to a group of 25 people with psychic abilities who know the mansion of a mage++++" and the like.

   This is also the reason why Duanmuhuai asked her for the mansion of the mage immediately after learning that Luo Qixi was a mage.

   After all, this stuff is basically a must-have for later game play, and if you don’t know how to do it, you need a teammate to do it.

  So players studying in this world are basically a hodgepodge of various professions, such as diving bows and war poetry dragons as standard equipment. For a mage like Luo Qixi who only has a few points, and who is also a mage of the evocation department, it is really the kind that no one wants to read, and even dogs ignore it.

  Thanks to the fact that Luo Qixi didn't know what was going on in Duanmuhuai's mind, otherwise she would have to die of anger.

  Although Duanmuhuai's words were not pleasant to listen to, Luo Qixi thought carefully, and it was not unreasonable. After all, because of her own problems, she was often discriminated against outside, and she also had the experience of being chased and killed. Sometimes it can be solved with magic, but most of the time it is avoided by relying on its petite stature. Luo Qixi never thought of learning the skills of thieves before, but from Duanmuhuai's words...it seems quite useful?

  Do you want to learn after you go back?

   "Boom!"

Just as Luo Qixi was thinking, there was a loud noise suddenly. Looking up, Duanmuhuai was knocking open a door at this moment, and the cultists inside swarmed out, and then saw those cultists like flies Duanmuhuai smashed it directly to the wall next to it with a hammer, turning into a **** meat sauce.

  “…………”

   This is definitely not a mage.

   "Ah... I didn't expect there to be outsiders."

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and everyone raised their heads to follow the sound, and saw a devil standing in a magic circle not far away. It squinted its eyes and stared at everyone, revealing Weird smile.

   "It's the devil!"

  Seeing the devil, Luo Qixi suddenly became nervous, while the devil looked at everyone and laughed.

   "Hello, mortals, it seems that because of your arrival, these stupid idiots can't complete the ceremony, how about we make a deal?"

"trade?"

   "That's right, there is a black magic book in the room inside. You help me complete this ceremony, and I will also give you some small rewards..."

   "They are calling the devil, but the ritual is not done."

  At this moment, Luo Qixi also hastily said in a low voice to everyone, although she is not a mage of the conjuration department, signing a contract with an existence like a devil is a compulsory course for a mage, and Luo Qixi is of course very clear about it.

   "Now the ceremony is stuck in the last step. It was supposed to sign a contract and let the devil obey their orders. But because Mr. Duanmu killed the executor of the ceremony, the devil now has no way to make a contract."

   "Then what to do?"

   "I can try to get that magic book and banish it from this world."

   "...just do it!"

  Hearing Luo Qixi's words, Emilia nodded.

   "Exile this evil devil from the main plane and send it back to hell!"

"No."

  However, Duanmu Huai suddenly stepped in at this moment.

   "Can't let it go."

"Why?"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Emilia was shocked and looked at Duanmuhuai.

   "Do you want to make a contract with the devil?"

   "Of course not... Didn't you pay attention to its body?"

"Body??"

  Emilia frowned suspiciously, and then turned her head to look carefully at the devil inside, only to find that there seemed to be signs of blisters and decay on its body...

   "Wait, didn't you mean..."

   "It has already been infected with the plague, so we can't let it go. If it really returns to hell, this plague spreads, and the whole **** will not know how many devils will be infected by then."

   "However, this has nothing to do with us."

  Luo Qixi frowned, being able to infect devils meant that this plague was indeed very powerful, but even if the plague spread in Bator Hell, what did it have to do with them?

   Duanmu Huai just glanced at her meaningfully.

   "Don't you mages like to summon the devil the most? Are you not afraid of calling someone who is sick?"

   "Hiss——!"

  Hearing this, Luo Qixi's complexion turned pale.

Indeed, as Duanmuhuai said, mages often summon some low-level devils to serve as their servants. Unknowingly summoned a devil infected with the plague to return to this world...

  Good guy, repeated infection. This is, given the popularity of mages in this world, it will fully blossom!

   "Then what can I do?"

   "It's very simple, let it stay, and then... I will kill it!"

"Why?"

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's decision, Luo Qixi was shocked.

   "This is not a low-level devil, are you sure?"

   "Of course, let's do it."

"………All right."

  Since Duanmuhuai has made a decision, Emilia has no objection - as a paladin, she will certainly not let the devil escape if she can kill the devil. Luo Qixi had no choice but to go to the study inside, found the black magic book, and put it on the altar.

   "...by a blasphemous name..."

   Chanting the incantation in a low voice, Luo Qixi raised her hands and drew strange symbols in the air.

   "Release the shackles that block this body and set it free!"

  Following Luo Qixi's voice, the next moment, the beam of light that originally restrained the devil disappeared instantly, and the devil also suddenly opened its claws at this moment.

   "Ah, I didn't expect that you would let me go free! It's so good, the free air... there is a paladin inside... I am very grateful to you, so what kind of return do you want?"

   "Ojis!"

  Duanmu Huai was too lazy to chat with the devil in front of him, and the moment the restraint was lifted and the barrier disappeared, he immediately shouted. Then Augis raised her hands, and the devil only felt his limbs tense, and he was completely bound by the invisible shackles. At the same time, Duanmuhuai raised his hammer and rushed towards the devil!

   "Stupid mortals!"

  However, facing the sudden attack, the devil was not surprised.

   "What you are doing is meaningless, you can't kill me at all!"

   "That's right, subspace creatures are hard to kill, but..."

While speaking, Duanmuhuai had already come in front of the devil. With a blow of his hammer, he directly broke the devil's legs and put it on the ground. Then he raised his hand and grabbed the devil's head. With five fingers It was inserted into the devil's skull like an iron rod!

   "But it's not absolutely impossible to kill, go to hell! The **** of the subspace!"

   "AHHHHHHHHHH!!"

  Accompanied by Duanmuhuai's roar, the devil uttered a miserable scream, and then saw a black flame burst out from Duanmuhuai's hand, enveloping the devil, and then he shook his palm vigorously, and then lifted it upwards!

   "Pfft!"

The next moment, Duanmuhuai pulled the devil's head from his neck abruptly. The cervical vertebrae kept shaking underneath, while the devil's head still kept the painful screaming position, and it widened in horror. eyes, staring at Duanmuhuai.

   "No, who are you? How do you have such power? I can feel that my soul is dying... No, no, no, let me go back, let me go back..."

   "Boom!"

  The flame burst out instantly, and after a while, there was nothing in front of him, and the devil disappeared without a trace.

"No way…"

  Looking blankly at the scene in front of her, Emilia's eyes widened. Of course she knew that Duanmuhuai would definitely defeat the devil, but she never thought that the other party could kill the devil directly!

  Generally speaking, devils are simply unkillable! Even a paladin can only use the power of the gods to expel the devil from the main plane! However, just now, Emilia did feel the panic in that devil's tone, and the complete shattering of its soul!

   This is simply a god-like power!

   Who the **** is he?

  The Tribunal... What kind of organization is it?

   "Okay, let's call it a day."

  Duanmu Huai didn't care about the astonished gazes of Amelia and Luo Qixi, he stood up, clapped his hands, and looked around.

   "So, next..."

  However, Duanmu Huai hadn't finished speaking when suddenly, a change appeared.

Not far from the other side of the hall, a teleportation door suddenly opened. Everyone turned their heads, and saw Deszel and Van Swick running out of it in a hurry. The former even had a smile on his face. with a smug smile.

   "Hey, hey, Erebes, you must not know who you are fighting against! Just lie on the ground obediently and wait for death, I will..."

  However, before Deszel finished speaking, he saw Duanmuhuai and others standing in front of him, and his voice suddenly became dumb like a duck being strangled.

   "Hey, isn't this the Knight of Deszel..."

  Looking at Deszel in front of him, Duanmuhuai clenched his warhammer, opened his mouth, and showed a fierce and ferocious smile.

   "It's really a coincidence that it's better to come early..."
