Game of the World Tree - Chapter 940

940. Chapter 932 Sunrise (IX): Monster

“Before I went crazy, my mentor told me that the stars were shifting and the whole world was about to face a great catastrophe…”

“However, no one expected that the catastrophe would actually start from the Ice Castle.”

“The fallen wizards were crazy and cruel, and they had a strong power of pollution. In order to prevent the pollution of the Ice Castle from spreading, I activated all the magic barriers of the Ice Castle according to my teacher’s order to isolate it from the outside world…”

The magic fireplace was shining, and Adrian told everyone the story of what happened in the Ice Castle after the Cataclysm.

He looked resolute, as if he remembered his experience during the Cataclysm, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

After hearing his words, Bols and others also showed sad looks.

They also remembered what happened during the Cataclysm, and the various tragic situations they had experienced and seen.

“What happened later? What about those monsters? And… what about the other surviving wizards?”

Athos asked again.

“Dead, all dead.”

Adrian sighed softly.

“Before becoming the Imperial School of Magic, the Ice Castle was a fortress to resist foreign invasions, and was also used as a prison for serious criminals for a period of time, so the entire fortress has an extremely complete magic barrier system.” “

Sealing magic, imprisoning magic, weakening magic, purifying magic, attacking magic… The thing that the entire Ice Castle lacks the least is magic barriers and solidifying magic.”

“It is precisely relying on these barriers and magic that we surviving mages can resist the pollution of the fallen mages while fighting against their powerful strength…”

“The monsters degenerated by mages are very strange. Although we relied on magic barriers to weaken them under the forward-looking orders of our mentors, they became stronger by devouring each other, and some even gradually regained their wisdom…”

“In the end, it was us surviving mages who cast forbidden magic at the cost of our lives, and finally died together with the monsters…”

At this point, Adrian sighed softly, with a hint of complexity in his eyes:

“I still can’t forget the relieved look on the mentor’s face when he regained a moment of clarity after being purified by us, and the relieved look he gave us before he died…”

“Although I didn’t hear clearly what the mentor said at the last moment, I know that he hoped we would nip the danger of the Ice Castle in the bud and prevent the pollution here from spreading…”

“More than a year has passed, and we have made great sacrifices and finally eliminated all the corrupted mages.”

“However, when I killed the last monster and was ready to share my joy with my companions excitedly, I silently discovered that I was the only survivor of the entire Ice Castle.”

“Those old friends, those companions who fought against monsters together after the upheaval, are all dead…”

Adrian paused at this point.

He reached out and touched the worn magic book on the bookshelf, with a sad expression.

“Adrian, since everything is over, why don’t you leave here? Don’t you know how worried your fiancée Elvy is about you? She has been waiting for you to go back! She has been waiting for you to go back… Have you forgotten her?”

Athos said a little excitedly.

At the end, he choked up.

He looked at Adrian with red eyes, his eyes did not turn away, his body trembled slightly, as if waiting for the other party’s explanation and answer.

Adrian smiled bitterly, apologetically:

“Sorry… Father, I have never forgotten my promise, nor have I forgotten Elvy…”

“I also want to leave here, but unfortunately, the seal of the ice castle is for all beings who are in the ice castle when the seal is opened, that is to say, we surviving mages are also included.”

“Monsters can’t leave here, and so can we. The monsters are suppressed in strength, and so are we. It’s just that because our strength is much weaker than that of monsters, we don’t feel much in the suppression of strength…”

“In order to prevent the pollution of the ice castle from leaking, before the magic barrier was activated, the mentor completely rewrote the rules of solidified magic. After the magic system of the entire ice castle is activated, the imprisoned beings will not be able to shut down the magic system of the entire ice castle…”

“So, I was trapped here until you arrived.”

After listening to his story, everyone showed a hint of realization.

And Athos looked at him with more and more complicated eyes.

At this point, Adrian breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled with some ease and said,

“Father, it’s great to see you.”

“I thought I was destined to die here, but now that you are here, you can completely open the seal of the Ice Castle.”

“By the way, father, how is the situation outside now? Since the incident in the Ice Castle, the Empire has not sent anyone to investigate. Did something happen?”

“How is Sister Vivian? And my two lovely nieces… Oh, I promised to take them to learn magic last year, but I broke my promise…”

“They… won’t blame me, right?”

Looking at the young wizard’s sunny smile and expectant eyes, everyone paused slightly and couldn’t help looking at Athos.

They hesitated to speak, their eyes were complicated.

Tony’s heart tightened.

Vivian… is the name of Athos’s dead daughter.

However, Athos was silent for a moment, but he squeezed out a smile:

“Very good… They are all fine…”

“When you go back this time, you can continue to teach them magic.”

“Adrian, they like you so much, how could they blame you?”

Looking at Athos’s gentle smile, everyone was slightly stunned.

Tony was even more stunned, not knowing why Athos lied to his son.

“Really? That’s great!”

Adrian smiled happily.

Athos also smiled gently.

However, the next moment, his eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and he looked at the back of the hall:

“Huh? Adrian, why does that sculpture look familiar?”

“Huh?”

Adrian tilted his head and turned back slowly.

However, at the moment he turned around, Athos suddenly drew out the long sword that Ramis had erected beside him, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, he stabbed Adrian in the back.

The long sword was drawn out, and blood splattered.

Adrian fell to the ground.

“Father…Father?”

He slowly turned his head and looked at Athos with astonishment.

However, the look Athos gave Adrian was no longer gentle.

In his eyes, there was only seriousness and anger.

“Athos!”

Mirel couldn’t help but exclaimed.

However, what he got in return was a roar from Athos:

“Back off!”

Then, he threw Ramis’s sword to the other party, picked up the staff with his other hand, pointed it at Adrian who fell to the ground, and said in a deep voice:

“Elvy is just a name I made up. Adrian doesn’t have a fiancée at all…”

“You are not Adrian, who are you?”
