Chapter 44

Murphy stood up unsteadily, covered in blood.

The original solemn nun's attire became tattered, vaguely outlining the uneven body curve.

She stood expressionlessly in the middle of the ruins, looking at the collapsed buildings and flying dust around her, as well as the huge sunken pothole in the center.

In the middle of the pit, where the altar was originally, a black coffin buried in the ground appeared, covered with pale skeletons, as if they were scrambling to reach out their longing hands to the red gemstone inlaid in the middle of the coffin.

The "Coffin of Eternal Sleep" inlaid with the Philosopher's Stone.

It is the iconic spell-casting tool of the destructive dark wizard "Prayer" Murphy.

For wizards, general spell-casting props are nothing more than props, which can only play a supporting and simplifying role.

What finally determines the power of the spell is the amount of ether that can be mobilized and one's own fighting skills.

For example, when releasing the flame spell, low-level wizards often use sulfur and saltpeter as spell-casting props, while high-level wizards only need to chant spells.

Therefore, the average person's impression of a black wizard is that he wears a large and mysterious black robe, and can take out some strange things from various places on his body to cast spells at any time.

It's like the igniter used when lighting a fire. It can simplify the steps and increase the power, but it doesn't, and it's just a little more difficult, and it doesn't have much impact.

But if it is a powerful spell-casting item with extraordinary power, then the role it can play is far more than just assistance.

The coffin of eternal sleep is a powerful spell-casting tool with the ability to "resurrect", and it is also an extremely dangerous taboo item.

It was Murphy who used the Coffin of Eternal Sleep to resurrect Wilde's disciple Charles and turned him into his own puppet, so as to get close to Wilde and try to assassinate him.

This plan was not a whim.

As early as when another disciple of Wilde, Youai, was still alive, he had already been included in the steps of their entire plan.

According to Youai, his teacher's preference for Charles is like a father treating a son, rather than a teacher treating a student.

Youai, who was also a disciple and had a better talent, finally murdered Charles while going out out of jealousy and greed, and then defected.

Although Wilde was a destructive dark wizard, he was once defeated by Joseph and had such a fatal weakness.

It is the best nourishment for the egg of the magic mirror.

As a dark wizard of the same level, Murphy also had contact with Wilde.

According to her judgment, this Wilde, who was defeated in the battle two years ago, is still hiding his head and not daring to come out.

Even if you think about it with your toes, your strength is definitely not as good as before.

But I didn't expect that even with such an idea, he still carefully selected the opponent's weakness to carry out an assassination, and unexpectedly——failed? !

Even originally everything went smoothly.

until just now...

Wilde only went out for half an hour, and when he came back, he didn't hesitate to kill Charles, who he regarded as his son.

What happened in the middle?

Why did he suddenly discover the truth and have such great determination? !

Judging from his previous performance, even if he found out, it would be impossible for him to strike directly without any hesitation!

"Damn, what the hell did he go out and do?"

Murphy took a deep breath and waved his hands vigorously, the chaotic invisible ether was rearranged.

"Shua!"

The rain curtain that fell from the sky was blocked outside, forming a spectacle like a waterfall.

The collapsed secret room was rebuilt, and the broken and sunken ground returned to its original appearance.

And the black wizard who was affected to death just now, with bleeding lines all over his body, was resurrected by the coffin of eternal sleep, stood up staggeringly and became a new puppet.

The black wizards next to him got used to it and continued to help clean up.

A black wizard stepped forward from the crowd and knelt on the ground, saying, "Master Murphy."

"Ahem..."

Murphy coughed twice, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Feeling the severe pain from her whole body, and the loss of a small part of her soul, she felt more and more angry.

Any spell that involves the soul has a very high risk factor, even a destructive black wizard is no exception.

What's more, the one who destroyed the spell and counterattacked was also a destruction-level black wizard.

Although the other party did not cause real and substantial damage, it was only in the trial stage, but this alone had already made Murphy feel ashamed.

This represented the loss of a confrontation.

But Murphy still believes that this is not a gap in strength, but just a reversal of the information gap, leading to an exchange of light and dark status.

It turned out that she was in the dark, and Wilde was in the light, and the other party's weakness was firmly grasped, and it was her who caught him by surprise.

But Wilde's sudden reversal reversed the positions of both sides.

Unexpectedly, it became Wilde, and the victim, of course, became Murphy.

The half-kneeling black wizard respectfully said: "Heris, the leader of the white wolf, came to visit and said he wanted to meet you."

"Herris?"

Murphy stretched out her hand with a sneer, and the blood on her body and surroundings gathered into a suspended smooth blood cell, which she received in her robe: "What is he here for?"

She was about to say no, but the subordinate said again: "He said, he knew the reason why you failed."

Murphy's sneer froze at the corner of his mouth.

"...Let him come over."

"yes."

...

Herris bowed to Murphy who was standing in front, and said, "Master Murphy, it's a great honor to meet you for the first time... I have visited you many times before, but I didn't get what I wanted. Today I can finally fulfill this wish."

Murphy had already donned her new nun's attire.

Before she became a black wizard, she was a prayer nun of the Plague Church, responsible for blessing and praying to the dead. After obtaining the coffin of eternal sleep and the inheritance of the former master, she became a black wizard.

The stronghold that was attacked by Ji Zhixu that time, the abandoned Plague Church, was the meeting place she provided.

She has a very proud personality, and she has a very disdainful attitude towards the hunters who cooperated this time.

Harris visited many times, but was refused even to meet, and never showed up.

Murphy's eyes were full of probing and threats, and he said directly: "What makes you confident that you can know the reason for my failure, and...before it happened, you came here from the hunter's territory."

"If you can't convince me, then I have reason to suspect that you are involved in this matter."

The destructive pressure made Herris sweat all over his back, and his face was a little stiff, but he still smiled and said, "With all due respect, the reason for this failure...is you."

"Me?" Murphy narrowed his eyes.

Harris said: "Do you still remember... Yuai's death report?"

Murphy paused, and said, "Of course I remember that the rotten flesh is the remains of some kind of dream parasite. From my judgment, although it can kill the panic-level, its vitality is very short and does not pose a threat. "

"So you gave the order to give up investigating the bookstore and do your best to ensure that the egg of the magic mirror hatches."

Herris raised his head, his eyes flickered coldly, and said meaningfully: "But do you know, just half an hour ago, Wilde just went to the bookstore."

"It was the owner of the bookstore that caused Wilde to change suddenly and your plan failed."
