Chapter 787

Duke mark.

This is the Duke of the north, the territory of Archduke Marcus.

Inside the grey fish castle.

The gloomy atmosphere spread like a low pressure.

Archduke Marcus, who ruled the Duke, was recently injured by a wild boar while hunting and was dying.

This made the family ministers very nervous, and several sons who had the strength to compete for successors were ready to move, constantly fighting in private.

Although we have entered the imperial era, the development of various technologies, especially medicine, is not very perfect. Many doctors only know a little herbal medicine. Relying on the several symptomatic prescriptions handed down, they are helpless for many diseases, not to mention the quacks who only know bloodletting therapy.

The Duke's condition was very serious and he was dying.

After all, not everyone can become a powerful superstring warrior, and even if he becomes a superstring warrior, he can strengthen himself at most and can't cure others.

……

Night.

In the ward.

The old prince woke up and shook the bell by the shaker.

The maid outside seemed to be asleep and didn't respond.

"Damn... Come on..."

Marcus struggled to shout, but his voice was as low as a mosquito.

Those who do not realize this step simply do not realize this helplessness, which is like an abyss of despair.

"The lion king is old... Have you gone to flatter the new master..."

Marcus murmured, with a strong unease in his heart.

It seems that the whole world has forgotten him and discarded him in a corner like garbage.

"No... you can't do this... I'm still the Duke..."

He said to himself, and two lines of tears came down.

Hoo Hoo!

Suddenly, a breeze blew.

"I forgot to close the window... What a neglect... If I can walk around, I will hang them... I swear!"

Marcus tried to go too far, but he was stunned.

A figure wrapped in a black robe was standing by the bed. Under the black robe, there seemed to be a creeping darkness, and two lights fell on him.

"The waiter of death? My time is up?"

He said in a low voice.

"No, Duke, I'm alive, and you haven't died yet... Although it's close."

The man in Black opened his mouth. Although his voice was low, he was very young and sweet. He was a woman.

"Assassin?!"

Marcus was even more surprised: "how did you... Get in?"

"Introduce myself. My name is Elijah. I'm a magician! Oh, you may not understand what the word 'magic' means. I can explain to you that we are a group of people who master the mysterious power!"

Elia chuckled and leaned slightly to answer.

"The mysterious man wanted by the Empire..."

Marcus tried to turn his eyes and remembered.

"Yes, Duke! Do you want to make a deal?"

Yiliya waved her hand and a green light fell: "treating a slight injury can't completely cure you, but it can make you easier!"

The next moment, a miracle happened!

Marcus felt that the tormenting pain was much better in an instant, which made his head sober. It was not like a fire burning all the time in his throat. He could speak easily: "what a magical power... You are not superstring soldiers!"

"Superstring soldiers can't save you!"

Elia said, "and my healing... There's no problem healing your injury. Magic is omnipotent. In the future, it can even prolong your life... Now, tell me your answer!"

"I have no choice!"

Marcus answered with a wry smile.

At present, the Empire has no gods or demons, only some nature worship.

Even if he wanted to sell his soul, no devil came to buy it.

no

Perhaps in his eyes at this time, the woman in black and calling herself a "magician" is the embodiment of evil and devil!

But the desire for life and the greed for power made him not willing to die, so he could only promise: "I... Promise you!"

"Well, I will treat you... And in return, you will protect the magician and build a magician tower for me!"

Elia nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, her fingers painted in the air, and characters appeared one by one, forming a contract: "sign it... With the power of magic, no one can violate it! Reach out and use your will..."

Under her guidance, Duke Marcus trembled, stretched out his right hand and pressed his thumb in the light: "I accept!"

Pop!

A mark emerged out of thin air.

Immediately, the contract burned, turned into light and disappeared into his body.

"The deal is done, then..."

Elijah raised her staff, and a green bud withered slowly: "treat severe injuries and drive away diseases! Witness miracles... Duke!"

The vibrant green light filled the whole room immediately.

A moment later, the black magician disappeared.

Duke Marcus looked at his smooth chest without a scar, and his face was full of incredible color.

Immediately, he stood up, waved his lower arms, legs and feet, and found that he was in better condition than before he was injured.

He took a deep breath, stroked his body greedily, put on his robe and opened the door.

"Your Highness... Ah?"

The guard and maid looked at the healthy Duke as if they had become puppets and didn't move.

"Let's go!"

Marcus sneered, and his majesty, who had been a duke for a long time, returned to him: "let the captain of the bodyguard come, and I'm going to meet... My good sons!"

……

"Another one, done!"

Outside the grey fish castle, Elia smiled and said to Phil and taclau, "Duke mark is a rich place in the north. There is no problem in building a mage tower."

"I don't understand!"

TaClo stroked his wand: "why don't you let me do it... It's easy for a 'manipulating human' to deal with ordinary people."

"Absolutely not!"

Elijah shook her head and said, "this spell is too rigid after all. It is possible to be found. At that time, we will face the encirclement and suppression of the Empire and the nobility!"

"Unlike now, we are just partners and can bring unimaginable benefits to each other... Ha ha... I know the temper of nobles. For power and interests, they can do everything and violate imperial laws. It's nothing at all!"

"So, next... Is to build the mage tower?" Phil was silent for a moment and asked.

"Indeed!"

Elijah nodded: "now each of us has the power to kill heroes, but we should not be the opponent of 'Legend'. Unless we work together in the scope of the mage tower, at least we are not afraid of him... This can establish a college and recruit magic apprentices!"
