The ethereal white light was held in the palm of Ryan's palm, slowly emitting a soft halo that was not dazzling even if he looked directly, which was completely different from the rough mass of magic he had before.

Staring at the light in confusion, Igor subconsciously touched this bright light, and there was no imaginary pain, only the warm touch as if he was soaking in hot water. This dreamlike magic made Igor not know what to say for a while.

"Ryan. ”

Carlos's calm voice interrupted Igor's reverie, his figure emerged from the dim hole, and at a glance he saw the flash technique in Ryan's hand, which was very different from his own, he glanced at several people with complicated expressions, and continued, "Come in with me, the mentor agrees with you." ”

"I'm sorry, though, but you can't bring weapons in. ”

"Understandable. Elway's pointed ears twitched, indicating that he didn't mind the matter, and turned to hand his longbow to Carlos.

Carrying this unexpectedly light longbow, Carlos saw that Elway had no next move, hesitated, but still reminded: "Although your threat is small, please give me the bow and arrows as well." ”

While helping Roger untie the vines with a bad face, Elway replied, "It's not that I won't give it to you, it's just that this bow uses not physical feather arrows, but light arrows made of condensed magical elements on the bowstring." ”

The first time he heard of such a magic weapon, Carlos held the longbow curiously, and his fingers grabbed the bowstring to pull it away, but he didn't want to use all his strength, and the bowstring would not move at all, which made Carlos blush in embarrassment.

"Don't mess with this bastard elf's broken bow, magic items generally have personal marks, and it's useless to get them if you don't know how to crack them. ”

Handing over his dagger 'Silver Vulture' to Carlos, Roger showed a smile that he thought was handsome, but his face blackened by his fireball skills made the smile less contagious, "So kid, take us to your mentor quickly." ”

Seeing Roger, who obviously looked thinner than himself, calling himself a child, Carlos felt a little absurd in his heart, but his calm personality made him not make a sound, just looked at the rest of Tariq, frowned and said: "What about his weapon, to be honest, the most suspicious of you is him, I always feel that I have seen this guy in the ruins before." ”

Roger took the package from Tariq, and he was very satisfied with Tariq's honest performance along the way, "This is one of the overseers we captured from the rubble before, rest assured, he is safe now." ”

As soon as he heard that the tall man was actually one of Fitz's overseers, he became nervous when he faced the long-term threat of Fitz, and his eyes were fixed on Tariq.

"Can you really guarantee that he's safe?" Carlos asked warily.

Roger shrugged and slapped Tariq's thick arm, "I've never seen a more obedient captive than him, have I, baby?" Roger squinted at Tariq and gave a smile, causing the latter to shiver.

"Okay. After a few more glances at the overseer, Carlos was still wary, but he still said to Igor, "You are watching outside, and I will take them down to meet the mentor." ”

Immersed in the six basic magical models described by Ryan, Igor waved his hand without looking back, and this magic theory that he had never heard of before was deeply attracted to him.

"Be sure to follow me later, the wrong step could cause you to get lost in the barrier of our camp. Carlos raised his torch and admonished several people before entering the cave, "The fog barrier here was set up by the Mentor himself, and even Ryan doesn't know all the paths except for our gatekeeper and Mentor. ”

As soon as you enter the cave, the space seems to be separated from the outside of the cave, divided into two worlds, the temperature is suddenly cold, and the slightest cold wind blows from the depths of the cave, making a few people who are not prepared shiver, in this deep cave, any subtle sound is infinitely amplified, and it makes several people nervous.

The figure of Carlos who led the way swayed, his steps flickered left and right, and he skillfully shuttled through the cave along a twisted arc, and several times his figure disappeared inexplicably from the sight of everyone behind him, and even once Carlos only showed half of his body, as if there was a transparent pillar blocking him.

shouted a few times, and seeing that Carlos was still moving forward with a vigorous pace, several people suddenly did not dare to slack off, lest they completely lose Carlos's trace. Fortunately, there is Ryan in the team who knows the general direction, and he can rely on memory to guide the three people who are rusty.

He advanced like this for about ten minutes, keeping his head down and focusing his attention on his feet, until the surroundings suddenly lit up, and Elway shook his head, "Huh~ It's finally over?

Counting Carlos, who was only concerned about his own stuffy head, Ryan, who was pinching his waist, nodded, and stretched out his arms to meet the few people, "Despite some minor setbacks, welcome to the stronghold of our True Knowledge, this place that inherits the history of ruins ----- underground cave camp. ”

Behind Lane lies a natural hollow in the ground, a shallow pool of water surrounding the central circular island of the lake, and as far as the eye can see, are several flat-roofed houses made of stone, which are scattered around the striking half-stone tower in the center.

The stone tower looked like a long history, planted like an upside-down onion in the hard stone ground of the island in the middle of the lake, only a section of the red tower body was exposed, the broken tower was crawling with moss and weeds, and a few twisted vine branches peeked out of the window of the stone tower. Even though it is dilapidated, it can still be seen that the style of its architecture is completely different from the simple stone houses around it.

Accustomed to the light, Roger recognized the identity of the stone tower almost at a glance, after all, in the era when he had not left the pan-continent, such buildings once abound on the continent, "Nomari Type II Mage Tower....... I think I've found the whereabouts of the mages who disappeared from the ruins of Amanda. ”

"Ryan will take you to the Mentor, and I don't think I need to guide you for the rest of the way, besides, I'll leave your weapons with Rednose Juan for the time being. Carlos stayed at the entrance of the cave and waved his hand, looking like he was going back to the surface.

Several people nodded, left Carlos for the time being, and followed Ryan's footsteps to the lake, only to see him roll up his pants and step into the shallow lake, and several people also jumped into the lake like Ryan.

"Hiss~"

The cold water of the lake was only up to Roger's ankles, but it was extremely cold and biting, which made Roger shiver, and the bottom of the lake was full of smooth and slippery bluestone that had been washed, and Roger's steps couldn't help but be cautious.

When he turned around, Roger saw Elway standing by the lake with a sad face and refused to come down, squinting and saying, "Hey, Elf, what's wrong with you?

"No, it's just.... It's just that I forgot something at Carlos's, you go first, and I'll follow immediately. ”

"That's a lot. Shrugging his shoulders and muttering, without thinking too much, Roger stepped forward to follow the three in front of him.

Seeing that Roger and his figure had landed on the island in the middle of the lake with the water of the lake, and he didn't look carefully at his side, Elway breathed a sigh of relief, he rolled up his trousers with a complicated expression, and stepped into the lake barefoot. Through the light refracted from the clear water, the soles of Elway's feet in the water turned into a miserable white skeleton.

"Hurry up, Elway. Roger's voice came from afar on the island in the middle of the lake, and Elway answered in a loud voice, silently reciting the name of the god of Voss in his heart, and then he also came to the island in the middle of the lake, and it was not until he stepped on the stony ground of the island that the soles of Elway's feet changed back to their normal appearance.

As soon as he landed, Elway felt several scrutinizing glances on the small island, most of them from the humble stone houses that surrounded him, not hostile, but not so comfortable.

Elvae pretended to be casual and walked by, and the three of Roger had been waiting in front of the mage tower in the middle of the island for a long time.

"You're slow, Elf. Roger grumbled as he stroked the rough surface of the mage tower, feeling the depleted veins of magic in it.

"Alright, everyone is here, please come in with me. Ryan made a gesture of inviting in, but with an apologetic smile on his face, "But I want to remind you that there is something special about the mentor's voice, and I hope you don't mind." ”

With doubts, the three of them, led by Ryan, walked into the inclined mage tower through a semicircular window, Roger looked around, judging from the structure, this should be the upper part of a standard version of the Nomari Type II mage tower, and the lower half including the material storage and room library was missing.

The place where the few people in front of them entered should be the area where the laboratory in the middle of the tower is located, and the closed room door on the inside of the corridor is obviously specially reinforced, after all, most of the magic research is accompanied by uncontrollable circumstances such as explosions, and the necessary protection is essential. Miraculously, the mage tower that looked oblique from the outside, but several people actually entered it, but there was no sense of tilting, and Roger guessed that this was the result of the remaining gravity circle in the mage tower still working tenaciously.

"Alright, this is it. ”

Ryan led the three of them to a hidden door at the end of the hallway, asked them to stop for a moment, and then knocked lightly on the door, "Mentor, it's me, Ryan, I've brought a few guests here." ”

"Please come in. A crisp and ethereal female voice sounded in the room, this voice was tactful and mournful, as if countless voices were mixed together, thus resonating this most pleasant note, and the spirits of several people were in a trance, even the most tenacious Roger.

"It's ..... Hymns?" said Roger, hesitantly.
