You call this magic?

"Okay, now it's time to deal with you." Ethan stretched out his finger, "[Hanging Bell]."

The six people were hung upside down.

"Okay, everyone, unfortunately, my boss just said that he only needs one survivor. You should have overheard it when you approached just now." Ethan's eyes gradually narrowed as he looked at the man on the far left and helped him release the petrification of his head. "Start with you. Tell me what I want to know."

"Fuck your mother!" As soon as he was released from petrification, the man started to swear.

"Very good, very energetic."

Ethan moved his fingers expressionlessly. With the sound of flesh tearing, the man's head fell directly to the ground. His body also fell and rolled together with the head that died with its eyes open. Blood gushed out, and the scene was extremely scary for a moment.

"Next, you." Ethan's gaze shifted to the man in second place.

At this moment, everyone who was hung up felt a chill in their hearts.

Volume 3: The Death of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 65: Attack and Killing

Ethan had let the Empire's killers go before, but those guys obviously had certain strengths. These guys... didn't look like masters in terms of strength or personality. They were more like NPCs in the background, just there to make up the numbers.

Those people can be used, but these few cannot. Even if they are released, the Empire will probably find an excuse to get rid of them.

The strength is too weak. There should not be many people on the Empire side who dare to attack even though they know that the opponent is Celie.

However, he still needed to know some inside information, such as what this inexplicable provocation was for.

However, these guys were unexpectedly stubborn. Three of them started to insult Ethan as soon as he was freed from petrification. The result was, of course, a happy tribute to Louis XVI.

When it came to the fourth person, he was also very tough, and even cursed more fiercely, glaring at Ethan, but this time, Ethan did not kill him directly, but simply let him go.

The remaining killers were confused. Why did he suddenly stop killing here?

The suicide squads are not afraid of death. They are only afraid of information leaks. Ethan's approach is exactly what they want.

However, they were wrong about one thing. Ethan killed people simply to reduce the number of people and to see if there were any who were afraid of death. He didn't expect them to be scared from the beginning.

Taking out a small bottle from his backpack, Ethan pinched the man's mouth on the ground with one hand and poured the magic wine in the bottle into him in one gulp.

"What did you feed him?" Celie twitched her nose. The strong smell of alcohol in the air made her index finger whet.

She had never tasted anything like it before.

"This thing, it's a divine wine brewed by the gods themselves." Ethan blurted out something that shocked Celie. "Even if the goddess herself drinks it, she will be controlled by this thing. Seriously."

"Fortunately, I'm not one of those people in the church, otherwise, for what you said today, the church would sentence you to the crime of disrespect." Celie laughed. This boy really dared to say anything. Is it possible that a goddess could be drunk by a bottle of wine?

Ethan just shrugged and had no intention of arguing. After all, he really had no way to prove the authenticity of the magic wine. So, it didn't matter. He just had to use it anyway.

However, it really smelled good. Celie usually just tasted a little of the wine and never had the urge to drink a lot, but today, she really had the urge to hold the bottle and show off.

Ethan put the empty bottle back into his backpack, then quietly looked at the killer who had almost no reaction after drinking the divine wine.

At this moment, the other two people hanging in the air were also feeling extremely anxious. They were not afraid of death, but of the unknown. For example, Ethan's current operation was beyond their knowledge.

"Okay, little killer, tell me, what is your purpose?"

Ethan patted the dazed killer's face and asked softly.

"Prevent Ethan and Celie from touching the seal here."

A hint of "as expected" smile appeared on Celie's lips, while the remaining two who were being held hanging had their eyes bloodshot. They had never imagined that their companion who was resistant to truth serum and various magic spells that could reveal the truth would be controlled after drinking a small bottle of wine.

"Seal?" Ethan frowned and asked quickly, "What seal?"

But at this time, this person showed a confused expression, and it seemed that he really didn't know.

Ethan immediately captured the remaining two people and forced them to drink the divine wine, but the result was the same as the previous one: they knew nothing.

"Well, they can't possibly know." Celia stepped forward, patted Ethan on the back, and even smiled with a bit of generosity. "They probably just received an order to stop us. If nothing unexpected happens, more people will attack us next."

As soon as Celie finished speaking, a [Murderous Magic] blasted towards Ethan's position. This was just the beginning. Like a chain reaction, a large number of magic spells of various attributes attacked Ethan and Celie from all directions, including some extremely powerful attack magic.

Ethan and Celie quickly dodged. If they used defensive magic, it would be endless against such a large number of magicians.

The three killers who remained in place and were controlled by the divine wine were quickly overwhelmed by the magical attack and died without a complete body.

Celie's face was full of smiles. Things seemed to be more interesting than she had imagined. The six people just now were indeed just appetizers, and the main course would come later.

She danced her hands in the air. Like Ethan, she could cast magic without the help of a wand. When her fingertips passed, the space seemed to be torn apart by her, and a biting blizzard gushed out of it.

In a very short time, the blizzard swept across the entire battlefield.

"Let me see if you can break through my most basic elemental magic."

After the blizzard, the subsequent attack magic was also in place.

Her flames are all hellfire, and the lightning she casually summons can rival Ethan's [Death Thunderbolt]. Not only is it powerful, it also has a large range. Combined with the blizzard that can restrict everyone's vision and movement, wherever she goes, there is widespread suffering.

Any magic attacking her was ineffective. She seemed to have a special brain dedicated to handling defensive magic. No matter whether it was a sneak attack or a frontal attack, she always used the least magic power and the smallest shield to resist the attacking magic. The strength of her magic was even more exaggerated than Solitiel's defensive magic.

With just a few exchanges of elemental magic, Celie was able to manipulate this group of magician killers.

As for the melee killer, he couldn't even get close to her.

The warriors' physiques were better than those of the magicians, and some of them were even strengthened in the blizzard, able to use the wind and snow to hide their bodies and thus get close enough to kill Celia with one blow.

But, Ethan has been active near her.

As a magician of the association, he also has the obligation to protect Celie.

Any warrior who tried to approach Celia would be beheaded by Ethan at the first sight.

Even if they had the common sense to have someone else distract Ethan and attack Celie at the same time, it would be useless because Ethan's stand-in was waiting for them in the snow.

The silver stand could even be considered invisible in this environment. The killers didn't even notice each other before the head fell off.

Ethan and Celie's killing spree lasted for twenty minutes before it ended.

There were corpses everywhere. When the blizzard finally stopped, no one was left standing except Ethan and Celie.

Instead of retreating, they were killed by the two men.

Throughout the whole process, no one retreated.

But Ethan knew that these were not soldiers who were ready to die because of their faith, but soldiers who simply obeyed orders.

There was only death in their eyes until the moment they died.

Volume 3: The Burial of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 66: The Unsealed Letter

Celie landed calmly, snapped her fingers, and a strong wind blew up, blowing the corpses and snow on the ground into the sky.

【Hellfire Magic】.

Celia's flames were extremely powerful, and the raging fire quickly turned all the corpses into ashes, completely disappearing from this world.

"You know, if it was Fulilian, she wouldn't allow me to do this." Celia turned around and looked at Ethan, "But you just watched silently."

"Master and I may indeed have some disagreements on this matter," Ethan said, "but someone has to do this kind of thing."

"Yeah, someone has to do this kind of thing." Celie closed her eyes. "That guy is a magician from the peacetime era. You... should be able to make a living in any era."

"Maybe... Come to think of it, how many times have you encountered attacks like this?"

"It's very common during wartime. I think it happened a few times when I first founded the Continental Magic Association. As for the past few decades, this is the first time." Celie said calmly, "Be happy. What you're about to see is of such value. Stand back. I'm going to take action."

Ethan took a few steps back, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He also wanted to know what would happen next that would make the Imperials try to stop them at the cost of so many lives.

"Unlock." What surprised Ethan was that Celie actually blocked his face and made a seal.

Is this still magic? Where did this get me?

However, there was no time to surprise Ethan now, because under Celie's operation, a giant tree suddenly appeared in the empty wasteland in front of him.

This tree gave Ethan the same impression as the one in the For Basin: the same towering tree, the same building under several of its roots, and the same barrier wrapped around it.

If it weren't for the fact that the buildings and trees looked different from the ones in Fore Basin, he would have even thought it was just a projection over there.

He now understood why Celia said that. If he had just stood there, he would have been blown away by the tree that suddenly appeared.

Mainly because the magical barrier covering this tree was different from anything he had seen so far.

"Go ahead and give it a try." Celie didn't step forward, but instead raised her chin towards him. "As long as you can break this seal, the things inside will be yours."

The barrier was covered quite tightly, and he could only vaguely see a red sphere inside, but because of the barrier, he could not feel anything.

"Let's give it a try." Ethan walked forward, sat cross-legged, and placed his hands on the barrier of the building's gate.

Sally sat down calmly, watching everything quietly with a smile.

After one hour.

Ethan opened his eyes.

"No." To be honest, Ethan was a little confused. He had used all his cracking methods, including the help of notes, but no matter how he tried, the result was that he was still going around in circles and back to the beginning.

Just like a game, he moved forward along the normal line of thought, explored every fork in the road, completed every branch, and returned to the starting point after a big circle. He found that the props he had obtained from the exploration had been used up along the way, and the door blocking the exit was still missing a special key.

In terms of thinking, he was not stuck, but in reality, he seemed to be missing some crucial condition.

He fell into deep thought and began to unconsciously rummage through his backpack, intending to find a few magic books for reference, but as he was flipping through them, a letter suddenly fell out.

Ethan was startled and immediately caught the letter. At the same time, memories in his mind quickly hit him.

This is the letter Haita wrote to him before his death.

He picked up the envelope, but suddenly found that the magic seal on the letter was disappearing. He widened his eyes and looked at the barrier next to him.

Could it be that the opportunity to remove the seal on the letter is here?

Holding the envelope, Ethan took out the letter inside.

There was an address written inside, but nothing else.

This address is very strange. It is not directly XX country XX area XX house number. Instead, it starts from Oishaster, walks in a straight line for XX distance in a certain direction, and then changes direction in real time according to the indicators seen, and finally reaches the destination.

This made Ethan very confused. Was he using this method because he was afraid that I would figure out where the destination was?

Judging from the results, this should be the case.

Haita really likes to speak in this roundabout way, but he has been dead for ten years. Even ten years ago, if Ethan really tried to break it by force, he would have to reach Oishaster before he could do the next thing.

You bastard Haita, you've planned everything from the beginning, right?

"Seal." While Ethan was thinking, Celia formed a seal again, and the huge trees and the buildings below disappeared from Ethan's sight.

He finally understood what was going on with this empty lot. It turned out that there had always been a tree hidden here by Celie in some way.

"Let's go, it's time to go back." said Celia.

"This is a bit torturous." Ethan put the letter away and stood up helplessly. "Lady Celia, please give me some time."

It might not work in a day or two, but he has no intention of giving up. If he fails to crack it with soft cracking, he will crack it with hard cracking. As long as he spends enough time, he will definitely be able to crack it.

He really wanted to know what the "magic item" hidden in the barrier was.

"Stop it! The guy who set up the barrier here told me that instead of relying on luck to break it, I'd rather have a monkey scribble and write a magic book. The chances are even higher."

Ethan was stunned. This statement...

"Who is behind this barrier, my subordinate?" Ethan couldn't help but ask.

"As much as I want to tell you, that guy and I have an agreement. We can't say anything until someone can break the seal." Celie said, "I'll leave the aftermath to you. Don't forget to come to the association to exchange magic later."

You are still thinking about that.

After saying that, the figure disappeared immediately, probably going back to the association.

Ethan scratched his head. What was going on?

After the Level 1 exam is over, go to the address on the letter.

Ethan sighed and set out on his way back.

On the way back, Ethan was wondering what was in the building under the tree.

He had seen almost all the techniques used in that barrier before, but following his train of thought would lead him to a dead end. He wanted to change his approach but didn't know how to start.

It was a trap that only someone who knew him very well could set.

Could it be Fulilian? No, it shouldn't be the case, otherwise she would have said it long ago.

It can't be Flame.
