In the darkness in the distance, Fei Shuang's piercing shout was heard again. It had been raining for ten minutes, and as far as the eye could see, the ground looked like a translucent carpet.

Catherine suddenly realized something, and she stepped out of the protective range of the Earth Sword, braving a dense hail to kick away the ice particles on the ground. The mage stomped the muddy ground without hail, and the ground was as hard as a rock.

"Captain Catherine, you seem to have made a discovery. Mrs. Vicie said. But looking at her appearance, she actually saw that something was wrong.

"The ground is completely frozen, and the hail is not melting. Catherine frowned, "From just now, it has been accompanied by lightning and thunder. This weather is so unusual, is it the climate peculiar to the Doden Mountains?"

"No matter how unique the climate is, it is impossible to go against the laws of nature. Lady Vicie sighed, "Don't you think it's not cold around at all?"

"The temperature has not changed, but the ground has frozen, the hail has not melted, and there is lightning and thunder in the sky. Have you ever heard of this kind of weather?" asked Lady Vicie in an accentuated tone.

Catherine's brow furrowed even tighter, as an erudite magician, she had read far more books than the average person. But this strange weather has never been described in a book.

"Hey, that's a mystery. Someone snorted coldly.

"Oh, dear Mr. Professor, this must be difficult for you. Lady Vicie immediately heard who was talking coldly.

The Goblin Scholar had risen directly from the ground this time, and it looked like he had been wandering underground.

"It's not the weather that only exists in the world. The old professor dragged his long beard and took two steps, "It's just that this field hasn't been fully formed yet." ”

"Domain?" Catherine cried out in surprise, "what will it become when it is fully formed?"

"It can't be fully formed. "If I'm not mistaken, this is the rudimentary form of some world in hell." Someone projected the scene of the hellish world in the corner city. ”

"What, hell?" Catherine exhaled heavily, thinking for a few seconds and said, "No way, this can't be done. Who would have the power to project another world here? It's not something that people can do. ”

"Ignorance, who told you that you really did it alone, as a magician, there is such a lack of knowledge. I doubt you're a real mage. The goblin scholar said dissatisfied, "However, I really haven't heard that humans can wield powerful magical powers, and it is normal for you to lack magical knowledge. ”

"Mr. Professor, you are wrong. Master Mermo smiled beside him and said, "This is not your time, humanity is now one of the most powerful races in the world. The magical power they wield is something that even the dragons can't fight head-on. But they do not know much about the allusions to the gods that have been handed down from ancient times. ”

Allusions to the gods?Catherine gasped. In the past three thousand years, the rise of the major human kingdoms and breakthroughs in the field of magic have brought mankind to the pinnacle of the two continents of the east and west. However, compared to the races that began to inhabit the two continents in the Age of the Gods and multiplied for tens of thousands of years, the accumulation time of human beings is still too short. This makes human civilization relatively insufficient in terms of the accumulation and inheritance of knowledge. In particular, I don't know much about some of the history and miracles of antiquity.

And whether it is an elf or a goblin, they are the founders of the four ancient civilizations. If Catherine's teacher, Quisling, was here, he might be able to discuss a thing or two with the few people in front of him. But Catherine is too young after all, and she has been busy with the affairs of the mercenary group in the past few years, involving the magical knowledge of the ancient times, where can the female mage tell why?

Fortunately, Mrs. Visie was willing to explain a few more words, which gave Catherine a new understanding of the depth of the wizarding world.

"As Mr. Professor said, this field is not complete. If it was in ancient times, when those powerful gods were at war with each other, they were indeed able to project the world they were in directly into another world. But we are certainly not dealing with the gods, and this incomplete projection can only be done through altar magic. ”

"Altar magic?" Catherine was no stranger to the term, "isn't that the magic of miracles from ancient times? ”

Hearing this, both Lady Visie and Master Mermo looked at Catherine and smiled silently. The goblin scholar didn't even hear it, and took out his encyclopedia and began to take notes on his own.

Catherine's face flushed unconsciously, and she felt a little presumptuous in her words. Not to mention that there is still a representative figure of the goblin civilization standing in front of them, even the elven civilization, although it has declined with the disappearance of the elven king, their inheritance should have been preserved from generation to generation.

What humans don't have in their hands may not be something that other races can't have.

"Catherine, magic or something, I don't understand. Master Swo, who had been listening for a long time, helped Catherine out of the siege, "But I at least know that there is also a Brown Moon Altar in the Doden Mountains. If they can call it an altar, maybe they will have some kind of altar magic. ”

Yes, as a magician, I didn't expect such a simple connection to be reminded by a sword master. Catherine really wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

"Terrific speculation. Lady Vicie wasted no time in complimenting, "Of the Doden Mountains, the Altar of the Brown Moon is the most mysterious. Even though we've been neighbors with them for years, we still don't know anything about this secret organization. For now, it is indeed they who are most likely to cast altar magic. ”

"Lady Visse, do you think that the man who seriously injured Hermes also came from the Brown Moon Altar?" Ace spoke suddenly, "and now they are attacking the Corner City. These are people who have the ability to slay dragons, can we defeat them?"

As a warrior, Ace thinks about fighting the most.

"No, I can probably determine where the attacker came from. Lady Visie shook her head, "But that's what I'm confused about, the Brown Moon Altar shouldn't have anything to do with those people. Why help them now?"

"Do you know who those people are out there?" Catherine couldn't resist the question in her mind, "Isn't it possible that they are in league with the Brown Moon Altar?"

"Let me tell you about this. Master Mermo volunteered, "Any possibility will exist, so what I'm talking about now is basically speculation." If I could, I'd like to know more about Master Swo first. You've fought with those guys, I wonder if you can describe what you saw at the time?"

Juggernaut looked up at the heavens, and only said, as if after some recollection, "It was a pure coincidence that I would save Hermeth at that time. Because the black dragon just fell right above my head. It fell right in front of me, and I was astonished and thought that Hermes was going to attack me. ”

Master Swo opened his mouth wide and made a frightened face. However, he saw that no one was laughing, and put away his strange tone tastelessly.

"I'm ready to take the best defensive stance. Master Swo continued, but he immediately laughed again, "You must not have seen a dragon on all fours. Hermes fell in front of me, belly up, feet up on all fours. It was clearly not meant to attack me, and it had a hole in its stomach. ”

Master Swo gestured to his head with one hand, "You don't know, that hole is so big, even if my two heads fit together, it will fit enough." Serious injuries, absolutely serious injuries at that time. But the black dragon didn't faint, and he and I looked at each other. It's so funny when I think about it now, looking at people upside down. ”

"Hermeth looked at me twice and said, 'You are a powerful human being, so you will take Hermes' life. The Swordmaster sighed, "If it were another dragon, I'd probably do it." But it, I don't want to kill. ”

"Why is that?" Fee, who was busy treating the lady of the tailor shop, was still distracted by the question.

"It's a dragon named by His Majesty St. Faian, and if His Majesty didn't kill it back then, how could I kill it?" Master Swo said in astonishment.

"Are you saying that His Majesty was able to take the life of this fierce dragon back then?" Catherine, who was familiar with history, immediately heard some mysteries, "Then how can there be a hundred years of dragon killing order?"

"I have no comment on this question, but if you have the chance, ask your teacher. Master Swo waved his hand, "Not only do I not want to kill Hermes, but I plan to do something for it." For if I hadn't seen Hermes hovering in the sky, I might still be lost in the old woods, and I owe it once. Of course, the black dragon has such a big hole in its stomach, and I can't cure it. Fortunately, the opportunity to save its life appeared. ”

Master Swo lowered his voice and said, "As soon as Hermes finished speaking, he heard a roar coming from the forest ahead. The voice was very high-pitched, and it came towards us. Several large trees standing behind Hermes suddenly exploded, and a giant war knife flew out. ”

As soon as the knife flew out, it stopped above Hermes's head. Master Swo flipped his wrist and held the Earth Sword above his head flat at his side, "I always thought that I had made the Earth Sword big enough, but this time I finally saw a weapon bigger than it. It was a giant sword, and it looked jet-black, except for the blood-red blade, which was about the width of my palm. The blood-red color makes people panic, as if it will drip blood at any time. The blade of the sword was as long as the sword of the earth, and the handle was a third longer. ”

The knife rested on Hermeth's head, and the tip of the knife rose as if someone had lifted it, and then slashed downward. Master Swo said as he raised the Sword of the Earth, "I see, with such a big knife, no matter how thick Hermes's neck is, it is enough to cut off his head with a single sword." Therefore, my eyes are quick, and I draw my sword to resist. ”

"Hum" Master Swo slashed a sword in the air, "That knife is really heavy, I haven't taken such a heavy knife in years." Fortunately, he took the knife, and the knife flew back from the road from which it came. If there is a second cut, I probably won't be able to catch it. Alas, old, old. ”
