Volume 2 The Contest Chapter 50 The Eye of Hell
Chapter 50: The Eye of Hell
The express magic train gradually accelerated away from the Twin Moon Castle, the outline of the city gradually sank into the horizon in the distance, Zhang Ye and Daria sat opposite each other, and after a while, Zhang Ye got up and walked to the window of his box, and in the distance he could already see the dark clouds that he had seen before that constantly flashed red lightning, although the scene below was still blocked by the mountain, but it was not far from seeing the place where Dariya said that she could see the eye of hell.
The train was still moving fast, and the mountain blocking the view was getting lower and lower, and the eye of hell should be far away from the train, and the relative distance was not much, and gradually, a blood-red crack of about ten centimeters erected in Zhang Ye's opinion, which looked like an erected eye, appeared in front of him.
The crimson spatial rift is bound by three white circles of light from top to bottom, constantly expanding and contracting at a certain frequency, whenever the expansion touches the white aperture, the three white apertures will suddenly burst out of a white light to hit the spatial rift back again, and the cycle continues, and there are red lightning splits on the white circle in the sky from time to time, but it seems that it has no effect on the white aperture.
These three apertures should be the seals that the god of law Corina exchanged for her own life back then.
But even so, the spatial rift looks like it makes people feel uneasy, although I heard Al say that every few years, the Wizards' Guild will send someone to reinforce the seal to prevent the seal from becoming invalid due to a long time, but the constantly surging spatial rift is always like a sharp sword hanging over the head, and it will break through the seal at any time and open its bloodthirsty mouth to the Sti continent again.
"I finally didn't miss it this time, how Andre, see it, isn't it spectacular. Daria's voice came from her ears, interrupting Zhang Ye's thoughts.
"It was spectacular indeed. Zhang Ye suppressed the discomfort in his heart and replied softly.
Maybe it's because the people of the Sti Continent are used to this spatial rift, maybe it's because they're full of confidence in the seals of the magicians, whether it's the people in the train corridor when they came before, or the current Daria, Zhang Ye didn't feel a trace of worry or anything like that from their bodies, all they could see was the excited look of everyone when they saw some strange attractions.
"Aren't you worried?" Zhang Ye couldn't help but ask.
"What, what are you worried about?" Dariya heard Zhang Ye's words.
"I'm worried that the seal of the spatial rift will be broken or invalidated. β
"It turns out that you are worried about this, in fact, as far as I know, there are many people who have the same idea as you before, worried about the failure of the seal, worried about the space rift opening again or something, for this reason the empire and the magician guild have also issued a joint statement, saying that so far the seal is still very stable, and there will be no changes in a short period of time, and in order to prevent emergencies in the space rift, since the establishment of the empire, it has been around the space rift, and it has spent hundreds of years to build the star fortress, which is known as the strongest fortress in history, and the entire space rift is impenetrable, and four of the strongest ten legions of the empire are stationed in the star fortress all year round, so ah Andrey, your worries are completely unnecessary, you know. β
It turned out that the empire had made a lot of preparations for guarding against the spatial rift and the mutation.
"That's good, I hope my worries are in vain. Zhang Ye said with a smile.
"Oh, it must have been in vain, it's not something we should worry about when we think about doing so much. β
Zhang Ye nodded, the spatial rift in the distance called the Eye of Hell had been blocked by the mountains again, there was nothing to see, he turned around and went back to the bed and sat down.
The spirit was still feeling a little tired, and the side effects of the Infinite Focus Elixir had obviously not passed, so he simply said something to Daria, and lay down on the soft bed, and fell asleep after a while.
γγγγγγ
Opening his eyes in a daze, Zhang Ye rubbed his eyes and sat up, the bright moon was already hanging high outside the carriage, I don't know how long I had been asleep, and I just wanted to ask Daria, only to find that this girl was not in the carriage at all.
Leaning over to put on his shoes, Zhang Ye pushed open the box door, and just as he was about to go out, he saw Dariya push open the connecting door of the carriage and walk over from the next compartment, with an obviously excited expression on her face.
"Wow, Andre, you're finally awake, you didn't wake you up with such a big movement just now. β
"I didn't hear anything, what just happened?"
Dariya hurriedly explained to Zhang Ye with both hands and feet.
Generally, those who are willing to spend money to take the express magic train are either in a hurry, or their families are very wealthy, and most of them are wealthy, so the express magic train is a piece of fragrant bread in the eyes of some lawbreakers, but because the speed of the express magic train is too fast, and the daily security force on the car is also very strong, even if this fragrant bait is fragrant, ordinary people dare not stretch out their hands.
But not long ago, when Zhang Ye was still asleep, a group of robbers of more than a dozen people stared at the express magic train they were taking, this gang of robbers got a batch of magic bat wing backpacks and more than a dozen wind horned deer out of nowhere, relying on these two things to board the speeding magic train, and this group of people is not only all middle-level professionals, the leading two are also high-level professionals, sweeping all the way, and the garrison that rushed over after hearing the news was almost killed by these guys.
But coincidentally, there happened to be a few high-level mages on the car who were ready to go to Sleepless City to watch the internal competition of the Blacksmith Guild, and when they encountered this incident, several high-level mages could not stand idly by, and they began to attack this gang of robbers, but even if the strength was restrained, the carriage where the battle took place was almost broken, more than a dozen robbers were not spared, and the two leaders died and fledγ
"It turns out that I haven't arrived at the Mining Gold City yet, it seems that I haven't slept for too long, and why didn't I hear any movement just now?" Zhang Ye muttered in a low voice.
"Hehe, the fight just now was intense, all kinds of high-level spell casting techniques. Daria said excitedly.
"You're the only one who sees dangerous spells as fireworks... How long do we have to get to the Golden City?"
"I think it's almost there. β
"Well, then I'll go lie down again. β
"Wow, Andrey, aren't you excited at all after hearing this?"
"What's so exciting, aren't all the robbers dead?"
"Yes. . . By the way, one of those magicians just now said that this time, the military department may have to take the blame. β
"Hmm, what do you mean?" Zhang Ye was a little curious.
"The bandits' magic bat wing backpacks are controlled by the military department, and they are not allowed to appear on the market in normal times, but they are one of the battlefield weapons stipulated by the imperial law. β
Hearing a new term again, and it was obviously related to equipment, Zhang Ye instantly became interested.
"Battlefield armament? what is that?" I don't know, so it's a good habit to ask.
"Don't you know this, Andre, battlefield armament, as the name suggests, is the weapons and equipment used on the battlefield. β
Zhang Ye covered his face, and Dariya's explanation was easy to understand.
"Do you know any other battlefield weapons besides the Magic Bat Wing Backpack you just mentioned?"
"Oh, I think about it. Daria wrenched her fingers and said:
"Hmm... I know, from childhood to adulthood, there are jetpacks, magic rocket boots, magic repeaters, and magic power amplifiers, magic wall protection devices, magic cannons, magic siege vehicles, magic moves... Well, I can't remember, in short, there are all kinds of things, and we humans also rely on these battlefield weapons to defend the frontier and peace to this day. β
Hearing this, Zhang Ye suddenly wanted to see what kind of thing that magic bat wing backpack was.
"Daria, where are those Magic Batwing Backpacks now, were they all damaged during the battle?"
"It's a few that have been damaged, but there are still a few that have been slightly lost, all of them have been put away by the train's guards, and they are ready to be handed over after arriving at the Mine Gold City, what, do you want to see it?"
Zhang Ye nodded.
"That's no way, who made you sleep like a dead pig just now, those few magic batwing backpacks and broken ones were put away by the garrison and placed in the guard duty room, and ordinary passengers are not allowed to get close to it. β
Then there was no way, Zhang Ye could only give up and prepare to go back and rest.
Dariya frowned and followed Zhang Ye back to the box, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Dariya clenching her fist with one hand and hammering it in the palm of the other hand, making a "pop" sound.
Zhang Ye turned to look, Daria's brows spread out, and she said happily:
"I can't help you see these Magic Bat Wing Backpacks, but I remember that the teacher has a battlefield weapon in his collection, and when we return to Sleepless City, we can borrow it from the teacher to study it. β
"Mr. Al, do you know what kind of equipment the battlefield weapon in the teacher's collection is?"
"I don't remember exactly, it seems to be a claw, I'm not sure. Daria thought for a moment and replied.
"Then let's go back and talk about it, I'm a little curious about this battlefield armament. β
"Okay, let's go back and talk about it. β
The few battlefield weapons that Daria said just now can be clearly heard, and this thing is probably made of some mechanical devices, but I don't know to what extent.
When the chat was over, Daria was also a little sleepy, and the two went back to their beds to rest.
Half-asleep and half-awake, the express magic train stopped in the mining gold city.
Due to the need to deal with the robber attack, as well as the repair of the magic train, this time the magic train stopped for a bit long, but not too long, in order to ensure that the precious time of the passengers of the magic train is not wasted, the person in charge of the Magic Train Station in the mining gold city dealt with the report of the attack as quickly as possible, and replaced the members of the guard team on the supplementary train. While cleaning up the corpses of the robbers and the guards, the damaged carriage was also directly separated and taken away by several resident magicians at the Mine Gold City train station with magic similar to the hands of mages, and then after docking the front and rear carriages, the passengers in that carriage were dispersed, and the express magic train was on the road again.
I have to sigh about this kind of work efficiency, with all kinds of powerful professionals, many things are indeed a lot more convenient.
Before leaving, Zhang Ye also saw several people dressed as officers, hurriedly walked into the train station, and turned into the second floor where the office area of the train station was located.
With the sound of "Boom", the express magic train started slowly again, heading towards the Sleepless City.
