The cold wind blew, the cold sweat on his forehead almost froze into ice slag, and the cold Donnie trembled all over, but even so, he still did not wake up, still looking at his right hand with a happy and fearful expression, recalling the picture just now.
The monotonous black, white, and gray color seemed to affect the frozen silence around him, completely restraining the aura of evil spirits, and could directly penetrate the grab of the evil spirit defense spell, his right hand was so strange, so powerful!
And this feels very similar to the black armor he encountered in the nightmare, and it is also very similar to the black, white and gray color sealed in the center of the "cosmic stars"!
Could it be that something went wrong in the nightmare, and I was infected by that "monster" without realizing it?
Thinking of the monster that can manipulate his own and others' dreams, looking at it is like looking at the purest and most essential dead monster, Donnie shook his head violently, woke up from a trance, and shouted frantically in his heart, hurry up, go find Carl, only he and the big man behind him can help me solve this problem! They should be very interested in this monster!
The cry of his heart drove Donnie to take a step towards the real castle gate, and at this time, he saw a little powder gathering on the carpet with a faint shimmer.
Evil spirit dust?
Donnie stopped suddenly, is this what was left after the death of the evil spirit just now?
"Evil Spirit Dust" is a mid-level material that is much rarer and more precious than "Evil Spirit Dust", and it is a gain that Donnie would never have dreamed of!
But Donnie was stunned in place, not leaning over, nor casting a spell to collect it, and a clear and obvious voice sounded in his heart:
"The evil spirit just now should have the strength of a five-ring mage, maybe close to a high level, if you want to kill me, it is like killing an ordinary person, but under that strange black, white and gray, under my right hand, it has no ability to resist, like a bubble burst by me......"
「…… My right hand is so powerful?"
「…… Just the breath of that monster made me so powerful?"
After truly feeling the power of his right hand, Donnie hesitated, for a commoner like him who had worked hard from an ordinary person to a magic apprentice to a formal mage, this kind of strength was something he had never dared to hope for before.
"With it, I can gain the strength to restrain necromancers below the high level, and maybe even the high level can affect ......."
"Moreover, it seems that it can also eliminate extraordinary abilities below the higher level just like the 'elimination' bloodline, and may even be stronger......"
"In this way, I can go to various places in the necromancer world to explore, and I can explore various mausoleums that are considered dangerous, so as to harvest various materials, obtain wealth like astrological numbers, and greatly improve my strength......"
「…… Strength is equal to status, even in the face of great nobles, I will be treated with respect......"
「…… This allows fathers and mothers to no longer worry about grocery stores and enjoy the convenience and pleasure brought by various alchemy items...... This allows Lily to go to a general education school, without having to help with housework at home all the time, waiting to get married, and have no life of her own......"
Donnie's facial muscles were twisted like never before, presenting a frightening ferocity.
"Anyway, no one can see that my right hand is strange! At least Karl and the big man behind him didn't notice!"
Gradually, Donnie put his right hand back into the pockets on both sides of his magic robe.
Bang!
The wind blew, and a window that opened at some point hit the window frame hard.
Donnie woke up in shock, felt the biting cold, his mind cleared, and all kinds of desires just now were suppressed by fear.
「…… What happened to me just now...... Although the monster aura hidden in my right hand can make me stronger, who knows if it will gradually infect me and turn me into a zombie without my own thoughts......"
「…… Unchecked forces of unknown origin must be carefully studied...... How many high-level magicians in the past died because of rash attempts......"
"As long as you live, you still have a chance!"
Donnie finally made up his mind and planned to go back to town immediately to call Carl - Carl left him a private communication number, and the worst thing would be the loss of his right hand, and maybe it would not be so miserable, and there would be a little bit of power left to control without hidden danger.
Outside the castle, the tall and tall figure chuckled: "Fortunately, this guy is quite restrained in his desires, otherwise it will not only be infected by the breath of death, but maybe it will also attract the 'greedy' devil."
Ancient devils and such things, as long as there are still intelligent beings, they can never be completely eliminated, and they will reappear and condense in ten or twenty years at most, but they will not be so powerful for a long time.
…………
Darkness shrouded the forest, and Donnie traveled alone through this quiet and dark place, and the roar of beasts from time to time was even more terrifying, but for Donnie, it was much safer than the comfort and safety of an ancient castle, and these beasts and ghosts together were no match for the "paralyzing breath" of evil spirits.
He left a note for Baron Heldos, saying that he had solved the evil spirit problem, and then returned to the town without the slightest delay.
With the blessing of the spell, two hours later, Donnie saw the town he was familiar with, except for the bright street lights near the platform of the magic steam train, the rest of the place was dark and silent.
Donnie chose the platform and walked to the "duty room", knocking on the closed door.
"Who is it?" The staff on duty at the platform asked in fear, could it be a robber?
Many magic steam trains transporting goods will pass by at night, plus long-distance trains, the platform must be dispatched at any time, but in this kind of town, it is difficult for the staff on duty to have the strength of magic apprentices, and they can only rely on "blaster guns" in the face of various dangers.
If they still have the strength of a knight's attendant or a magic apprentice, it will be even more dangerous, after all, the "blaster gun" needs to be manually aimed and cannot provide a mental lock function.
Donnie took off his magician badge and shook it in front of the window: "I'm Donnie, I need to borrow the wired phone on the platform, this is the right of a magician."
According to the joint regulations of the Magic Council and various countries, in case of emergency, official mages can borrow communication facilities from platforms, police stations, city halls, town halls, and other places with their badges.
The staff inside breathed a sigh of relief, and after distinguishing the authenticity, they opened the door and said, "Mr. Downey, please come in, the wired phone is on the table."
Donnie nodded lightly, didn't have time to thank him, and hurried to the table and dialed Karl's number.
Beep, beep, beep, after three rings, Karl's lazy and vague voice sounded: "Who is it? Call me in the early morning! Don't you know that this is a very inhumane and cruel act?"
He seemed a little angry after being woken up.
Donnie was stunned for a moment, and Carl's voice from the phone seemed to be less magnetic: "Carl, I'm Donny, I encountered something very strange."
"Donnie? What strange thing?" Karl suddenly woke up, and then said habitually, "If it's not strange, you have to apologize to me, disturbing other people's sleep and dreams is a crime to go to prison, I have to keep my spirits up tomorrow to listen to Grandpa Victor's concert, this may be his last concert, you must not miss it, you must not yawn......"
"The black armor monster in the nightmare is attached to my right hand." Donnie said bluntly, only in this way could he interrupt Karl's gossip.
In fact, he also knew that Victor's concert would be held in Rentat tomorrow, which was solemnly introduced in "The Voice of Mysteries".
The music teacher of the Honorable Evans, even though he had taken a magic potion, decided to say goodbye to the concert due to his old age, and it is said that he held a curtain call concert in Aalto and Rentat to show that classical music and popular music were treated equally.
Although Victor is known because he has a good student, everyone who loves music knows that Mr. Victor's achievements in the field of music are enough to be called masters, and his other students also have their own achievements in the field of music, even if they are not as good as him and Lord Evans, so he is known as the musician who is best at teaching his students.
Karl's voice suddenly rose, a little sharp: "The black armor monster in the nightmare? Does your right hand take on a solidified black, white, and gray character? It has a suppressive effect on necromancers and eliminates spells?"
"How do you know?" Donnie was surprised.
Karl smiled and said: "Of course I know, my father has seen it and told me, hehe, fortunately, fortunately, you told me, otherwise your life force will pass rapidly, maybe in a few years, your body will start to decay......"
"What should I do?" Donnie is glad he made the right choice.
Karl pondered for a moment and said, "There is no problem in a short time, after Grandpa Victor's concert, I will come to you, or you can take the earliest train to Rentat tomorrow, and I will arrange for someone to pick you up."
"I'll come over tomorrow!" Donnie dared to delay and decided to go to Rentat tomorrow morning, "Thank you, Carl, I won't disturb you, I'll go back and rest first."
Karl chuckled: "You woke me up and went to bed by yourself? No, you have to chat with me!"
"You have to watch a concert tomorrow...... Downey could only refuse, he felt very tired.
Although Karl talked a lot, he was not willful, and after hearing Donny's reluctance, he hung up the phone.
Quietly returning home, Donnie did not dare to sleep, afraid of having nightmares again, so he began to meditate.
…………
Blurry, hazy, while Donnie was meditating, his body suddenly shook, only to feel that the scene in front of him had changed greatly, surrounded by solidified and boring black, white and gray, confusionally reflected in mountains and rivers, cities and villages, countless undead creatures roaming around, without a single sound or superfluous color.
"Necromancer? I'm having nightmares again?" Donnie thought in shock, he didn't sleep and entered a dream?
"The city is confused, but it seems familiar...... It is the Aalto mentioned in the Sky TV documentary, the 'City of Music'!"
Donnie didn't expect that he would "come" to a city on the other side of the continent.
Outside the city, two real and illusory figures were quietly watching all this, and one of them whispered: "Brother, let's just watch it like this?"
This was Karl's voice, he could actually speak in the necromancer world, although he himself was only left in black, white and gray!
