I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 395 Discussion at the Magic Academy

"Damn you, I'm not a gentleman if I don't take revenge. I will definitely come back to settle accounts with you!" The vampire lord's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, low and full of hatred, and every word seemed to be wrapped in frost and anger. His eyes were burning with anger, but also mixed with deep unwillingness, which was a kind of humiliation and resentment after a king suffered a setback. Although he was seriously injured and his body was trembling slightly, he still exuded a powerful and chilling aura, like a wounded beast, even if he fell to the ground, he could pounce at any time and engage in the cruel battle again.

However, the wheel of fate always seems to crush everything mercilessly. At this critical moment, the shell fired by Alpha exploded on the top of the ruins, with a deafening sound, like thunder in the sky.

The sunlight was like a golden arrow, piercing through the gap that was blown open, pouring down like a waterfall. To the vampire, this seemingly warm sunlight was like a deadly poison at this moment.

The moment the light touched his skin, a sizzling green smoke ignited. That was the sound of his skin being burned. Every inch of his skin felt excruciating pain, causing the vampire lord to tremble all over. His strength gradually faded in the pain. The pain and powerlessness completely overwhelmed him like a tide. This sudden change filled the vampire lord's heart with despair and helplessness. He looked at the sunlight, and the anger in his eyes was gradually replaced by fear.

What's worse is that the humans below not only have special weapons, but their power is even more amazing than you can imagine. The attacks, one after another, hit the vampires' hearts like a heavy hammer, bringing tremendous pressure.

At this moment, the space inside the altar was small and cramped, and the walls seemed to be squeezing in on them. This narrow space severely limited the vampires' speed advantage, and their proud agility was useless here. Every time they dodged an attack, it became extremely difficult, and they could only passively endure the attacks of humans without any ability to fight back.

In the midst of pain and struggle, the vampire lord's brain was working rapidly, and he was thinking deeply. He weighed the pros and cons, and his heart was repeatedly torn between continuing to fight and retreating. In the end, reason overcame anger, and he had to make a difficult decision - give up. He knew in his heart that continuing to fight would undoubtedly be a way to his own death, and would only put himself in a more dangerous desperate situation.

This failure was like a heavy hammer, hitting him hard in the heart, making him feel heartbroken. But he also knew that failure was not worthless, it brought valuable experience and profound lessons. To become a truly strong person, you must learn to survive in adversity and be good at using the surrounding environment and resources, rather than relying solely on brute force.

In this action, although the vampire lord gained great power and felt the short-lived pleasure brought by the power increase, he also paid a heavy price. His body was covered with scars, and black blood kept gushing out of the wounds, which was the proof of being eroded by the mysterious power. His magic power was also exhausted in this battle, and it took a lot of time and energy to recover. Every breath was accompanied by severe pain, and his body seemed to be pierced by countless steel needles.

However, in the heart of the vampire lord, compared with the power he had gained, this injury was insignificant. The flame of ambition rekindled in his eyes. As long as he could recover, he would become a peerless powerhouse at the level of a vampire lord. By then, he would definitely come back with endless anger and determination for revenge, and make those who had hurt him pay a heavy price for what they had done today.

On the long and silent road out of the ruins, the vampire lord dragged his wounded body forward step by step, and every step seemed to be in endless darkness. His eyes were burning with the blazing fire of revenge, and the flame flickered in the darkness, like the whisper of a devil. He secretly vowed to practice harder and improve his strength at all costs. He shouted in his heart countless times, to let everyone know that he was the most powerful vampire who deserved it.

In the vampire's fantasy, one day, he will stand at the top of the world, and make all those who have despised and hurt him crawl at his feet. But he doesn't know that in a distant place, Alpha is also growing and gradually becoming a hegemon. On the road ahead, who will survive and have the last laugh is like the unknown in the fog, and no one knows.

Under the crazy erosion of the dark power, the knights seemed to fall into an endless abyss, surrounded by thick darkness, and their lives were in danger. Their bodies were entangled by the dark power, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain, and their strength was disappearing bit by bit. However, Alpha relied on the last bit of remaining energy, that weak but tenacious energy like a candle flame, and successfully relieved the damage they suffered at the critical moment.

Alpha's hands were shining with light. Although the light was weak, it was like a sharp sword that cut through the shackles of darkness. After a few simple instructions, Alpha could no longer hold on. His body softened and he passed out due to lack of strength. His body fell heavily, like a towering mountain collapsing.

In fact, with Alpha's current strength, one shell was not enough to exhaust all his energy. However, in the fierce and brutal battles before, he was like a tireless warrior, constantly releasing his strength and fighting the enemy to the death. His energy had long been consumed in those attacks and defenses, and when he used the magic cannon, he was at his wit's end. That last bit of strength was just his last resort in his desperate situation.

Everyone worked together, like a close team. They carefully lifted Alpha and protected him as they quickly returned to the camp. Along the way, they watched their surroundings vigilantly, fearing that any more danger would come. At the same time, they quickly ordered to dig at the top of the ruins. Countless shovels and tools gleamed in the sun. Everyone worked together, digging shovel by shovel. Finally, the sun penetrated through the layers of obstacles and shone straight down. The golden light illuminated the entire ruins and also illuminated the hope in people's hearts. As the excavation progressed, all the ruins were cleared little by little, and the secrets hidden in the darkness were gradually exposed to the sun.

Those people who had suffered misfortune were properly resettled by everyone. They were taken to a safe place and given food and warm shelter. At this time, Darwin returned from the outside world, and his figure appeared in everyone's sight, like a ray of dawn. His return enabled the Knights, who had lost their high-level combat effectiveness, to regain some strength. His wisdom and strength injected new vitality into this troubled team.

Under the careful care of the two maids, Mingyue and Fanxing, Alpha was nourished by their inner strength. Their hands gently placed on Alpha's body, and the inner strength was like a trickle, slowly pouring into Alpha's body. Under the nourishment of this warm power, Alpha gradually woke up. His eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes gradually recovered. However, he still needed some time to fully recover his strength. His body was still weak, and every breath seemed a little labored.

Alpha and Darwin had an in-depth and detailed conversation. They sat in the tent in the camp, surrounded by flickering candlelight. They discussed various topics, from the nature of magic, the mysterious and profound source of power, to the application of magic, how to apply magic to actual combat and life, to the future development direction of magic, imagining the changes that magic might bring in the future.

During the communication, Darwin introduced Alpha to the situation of the magicians in the Ottoman Empire. He described in detail their magical characteristics, organizational forms, and their status in the Ottoman Empire. In addition, Darwin established contact with them, transmitted information through the power of magic, and accurately conveyed basic information to the School of Magic.

However, the magic academy was caught in a heated debate. The members of the academy sat together in a tense and heated atmosphere. They held different views and positions on this cooperation. Some members believed that this was a rare opportunity to promote the exchange and development of magic, while others were worried that this would bring unknown risks and cause unnecessary trouble. The arguments continued, like a war without gunpowder.

In the discussion room of the magic academy, the atmosphere was warm and tense, as if the air was filled with invisible gunpowder. Some people were excited, with expectations in their eyes. They firmly believed that cooperation with Alpha would bring unprecedented freedom and broad development opportunities to the academy.

They excitedly explained that the academy had already established a certain cooperation foundation with Alpha, and the two sides had already generated a lot of sparks of ideas in the past exchanges and collaborations. If they could further deepen the cooperation and work hand in hand, they would surely be able to jointly explore the mysterious and profound secrets of magic and open up a new territory for the magic world.

However, another group of people frowned and looked worried, expressing deep concerns and doubts about this cooperation. They pointed out with deep concern that the cooperation is likely to lead to the college being infiltrated and influenced by external forces, and then gradually losing its precious independence and autonomy.

In their view, the academy has always been a pure temple of magical knowledge. Once disturbed by external factors, it may deviate from its original development track. In addition, they also have many differences on the specific content and conditions of the cooperation. Some people think that certain clauses in the cooperation agreement limit the development space of the academy, while others worry about the uneven distribution of resources after the cooperation. This makes the discussion more complicated and intense, with both sides holding their own opinions and refusing to give in.

In the magic academy, the development and use of magic gun technology has always been a focus of controversy, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves. Many magicians have come into contact with magic guns, and most of them believe that magic guns are just another form of magic pools.

The magic pool was originally designed to provide magicians with a way to quickly restore their magic power, so that they can save a lot of time meditating to restore their magic power, and devote more energy to magic research. However, as the world changes, today's magicians are overly dependent on the magic pool and regard it as the only source of their magic power. Once they lose the support of the magic pool, they seem to have lost the wings of magic and can hardly cast magic alone.

This phenomenon of over-reliance on the magic pool has directly led to a sharp decrease in the number of senior magicians in the magic academy. The academy, which once produced many talents, has now gradually become a subsidiary force under the shadow of the Ottoman Empire and has completely lost the ability to develop independently. The emergence of the magic spear has brought about a huge change in the pattern of the magic world.

The magic gun simplifies the most critical energy gathering and aiming process in the magic release process, making the casting of magic more convenient. However, this has also caused deep concerns among magicians. If the magic gun and the magic pool are combined, in extreme cases, even the basic learning of magic may no longer be necessary. In this way, people will only become a bridge connecting the magic pool and the magic gun, completely deviating from the true meaning of magic and losing the creative and exploratory soul of magic.

"Everyone, listen to me. You have a wrong understanding of magic spears." A young magician suddenly stood up, waved his arms excitedly, and said loudly, "In fact, I think the magic spear is an enhanced version of the magic wand. It simplifies a lot of tedious steps. If we can make good use of this opportunity, we can combine magic with magic spears and cultivate a group of epoch-making magic spear mages." His voice was full of passion and confidence, trying to break the current deadlock in the debate and justify the magic spear technology.

"The magic gun simplifies the steps of releasing magic. What's the point of such a magic weapon?" A white-haired traditional magician slowly stood up. His eyes revealed his adherence to traditional magic and his rejection of new things. "What we pursue is the true meaning of magic, not using magic to fight. In our view, magic is an art, a reverence and exploration of the power of nature, not a simple killing tool." His words were steady and powerful, representing the voice of many traditional magicians.
