Transcendent Dawn Chapter 786: Development

Mark the Duke.

This is the domain of the Duke of the North, Grand Duke Marcus.

In the Grayfish Castle.

The gloomy atmosphere continued to spread like low air pressure.

Arch Duke Marcus, who ruled the dukedom, was recently injured 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 it has entered the age of empires, various technologies, especially the development of medicine, are not very perfect. Many doctors only know a little bit of herbal medicine. Relying on a few handed down prescriptions that are considered correct, they are good for many diseases. There is nothing to do, let alone a quack who only knows bloodletting.

And Lord Duke's condition is very serious, and it has reached the end of his life.

After all, not everyone can become a powerful superstring warrior, and even if you become a superstring warrior, you can at most strengthen yourself and cannot save others.

……

Night.

In the ward.

The old duke came to life 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 haven't gotten to this step can't experience this kind of helplessness. It's despair like an abyss.

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

Marcus muttered in a low voice, with strong anxiety in his heart.

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 a duke..."

He muttered to himself, two lines of tears shed.

Huh!

Suddenly, a breeze blows.

‘I actually 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 too far, but was startled.

A figure wrapped in a black robe is standing next to the bed. Under the black robe, there seems to be a squirming darkness, and two rays of light fall on him.

"Dead waiter? My time is up?"

He said lowly.

"No, Lord Duke, I am a living person, and you have not died yet... although, it is already close."

The black robe man spoke, although his voice was low, but he was very young and sweet, and 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 the mysterious power!"

Ilia gave a chuckle 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?"

Ilia waved her hand, and a turquoise light fell: "Healing minor injuries can not completely cure 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 a lot more sober, and his throat didn't seem to be always burning with fire, and he could speak easily: "What a magical power... …You are not superstring warriors!"

"The Superstring Warrior can't save you!"

Illiya said: "And my healing technique...there is no problem with healing your injuries. 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.

No!

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 magician and build a magic tower for me!"

Ilia 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 it!"

Slap!

A mark emerged out of thin air.

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

"The deal is concluded, then..."

Ilia raised the staff, and a green shoot slowly withered: "Cure serious injuries and get rid of diseases! Witness the miracle... Your 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.

"My Lord...Huh?"

The guardian 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 the 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 with building a mage tower."

"I don't understand!"

Takerus stroked his magic wand: "Why don't you let me do it... A ‘Manipulating Human~IndoMTL.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 may be 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 bring unimaginable benefits to each other... Hehe... I know the tempers of the nobles, for the sake of power and profit, they can do everything and violate the laws of the empire. , It’s nothing at all!"

"Then, next...is to build the Mage Tower?" Phil asked in a moment of silence.

"Really!"

Illiya 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... This can establish an academy and recruit magic apprentices!"
