MTL - Transcendent Dawn-Chapter 786 development of
Mark the Duke.
This is the domain of the Duke of the North, Grand Duke Marcus.
Inside the Grey Fish Castle.
The gloomy atmosphere continued to spread like a low pressure.
Grand Duke Marcus, who ruled the duchy, was recently bruised by a wild boar while hunting and was dying.
This made the retainers very worried, and the sons who had the ability to compete for heirs were even more eager, constantly fighting in private.
Although we have entered the age of empires, the development of various technologies, especially medicine, is not very perfect. Many doctors only know a little bit of herbal medicine, and relying on the handed down a few prescriptions that are considered symptomatic, they are helpless for many diseases, even more. Needless to say, there are quacks who only understand bloodletting.
The Lord Duke's condition was very serious, and it was already at the end of his life.
After all, not everyone can become a powerful superstring warrior, and even if they become a superstring warrior, they can at most strengthen themselves and cannot save others.
...
night.
Inside the ward.
The old duke awoke and shook the bell next to the bed.
The maid outside seemed to be asleep and did not respond.
"Damn... come on..."
Marcus struggled and screamed, but his voice was as low as a mosquito.
People who have not reached this step will not realize this kind of helplessness at all, it is despair like an abyss.
"The lion king is getting old... are you going to flatter the new master..."
Marcus muttered in a low voice, with strong anxiety in his heart.
It was as if the whole world had forgotten him and dumped him in a corner like trash.
"No...you can't do this...I'm still the Duke..."
He muttered to himself, two lines of tears flowed down.
Huhu!
Suddenly, a breeze was blowing.
‘I forgot to close the windows... what a negligence... If I can walk around, I must hang them... I swear! ’
Marcus tried to turn his head, but was taken aback.
A figure wrapped in a black robe was standing next to the bed. Under the black robe seemed to be squirming darkness, and two rays of light fell on him.
"Dead waiter? My time is up?"
He said lowly.
"No, Lord Duke, I am a living person, and you have not yet died... Although, it is already close."
The black robe man spoke, and although his voice was low, he was very young and sweet, and she was a woman.
"assassin?!"
Marcus was even more surprised: "How did you...come in?"
"Introduce myself, my name is Iliya, I am a magician! Oh, you may not understand what the word ‘magic’ means, I can explain to you, we are a group of people who master mysterious powers!"
Iliya chuckled and leaned slightly to answer.
"The empire...wanted...mysterious man!"
Marcus tried to roll his eyes and remembered.
"Yes, Lord Duke! Do you want to make a deal?"
Iliya waved her hand, and a turquoise light fell: "Healing minor injuries can't completely heal you, but it can make you a little easier!"
The next moment, a miracle happened!
Marcus felt that the tormenting illness was much better in an instant, which made his head sober a lot, and his throat didn’t seem to be burning all the time, and he could speak easily: “It’s a magical power...you are not Superstring Warrior!"
"The Superstring Warrior can't save you!"
Iliya said: "And my healing technique...there is no problem with healing your wounds. 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.
The empire currently has no gods, no demons or demons, only some natural worship.
Even if he wanted to sell his soul, no devil came to buy it.
Do not!
Perhaps in his eyes at this time, this woman wearing a black robe and calling herself a ‘magic’ is the demons and demons, the incarnation of evil!
But the desire for life and the greed for power made him reluctant to die, so he could only agree: "I...promise you!"
"Very well, I will heal you... and in return, you have to shelter the wizard and build a wizard tower for me!"
Iliya nodded in satisfaction.
Immediately, her fingers were drawn in the air, and the characters appeared, forming a contract: "Sign it... This is magical. No one can violate it! Reach out and use your will..."
Under her guidance, Duke Marcus tremblingly stretched out his right hand, his thumb pressed against the light: "I accept!"
Snapped!
A mark emerged out of thin air.
Immediately, the contract burned, turned into light, and sank into his body.
"The deal is done, then..."
Iliya raised the staff, and a green branch slowly withered: "Cure serious injuries and get rid of diseases! Witness the miracle... Lord Duke!"
The aquamarine light full of vitality immediately filled the room.
After a while, the black magician disappeared.
Duke Marcus looked at his smooth and scarless chest, his face full of incredible color.
Immediately, he stood up, waved his lower arms and legs, and found that his condition was better than before he was not injured.
He took a deep breath, stroked his body greedily, put on his robe, and opened the door.
"Master Duke...Huh?"
The guarding guards and maids looked at the healthy duke as if they had become puppets, motionless.
"Let's go!"
Marcus sneered, and the majesty of being a duke for a long time returned to him: "Let the chief guard come over, I'm going to meet...my dear sons!"
...
"Another one, done!"
Outside of Greyfish Castle, Ilia smiled and said to Phil and Tacro: "The Mark Duke is one of the richest places in the Northland. There is no problem in building a mage tower."
"I don't understand!"
Takero stroked his magic wand: "Why don't you let me do it... A ‘manipulating human ~ www.novelbuddy.com~ is still very simple to deal with ordinary people."
"Absolutely not!"
Ilia shook her head and said: "This kind of spell is too rigid after all, and it has the possibility of being discovered. At that time, we will face the common encirclement and suppression of the empire and the nobles!"
"Unlike now, we are just collaborators, and we can also bring unimaginable benefits to each other... Hehe... I know the tempers of the nobles, for the sake of power, for the benefit, they can do everything, in violation of the imperial law, not at all What kind of!"
"So, next...is to build the Mage Tower?" Phil asked in a moment of silence.
"indeed!"
Iliya nodded: "Now, each of us has the power to kill heroes, but it should not be a'legendary' opponent. Unless the three of us join forces in the range of the mage tower, at least we are not afraid of him... Establish an academy and recruit magic apprentices!"
