Morin had seen a lot of the gems in Thea's collection, including Alice's favorite heart-shaped ruby that had been polished into thousands of regular curved surfaces, and had seen those treasured ores and crystals in the academy's alchemy tower, and even Teacher Ed's had a lot of precious collections, but none of them, none of them could compare to the dark green gem in front of him.

Beautiful, immaculate, proud.

Even in the darkness of the cavern, the center of the gem still shimmered with brilliant brilliance, which reflected infinitely in the dark green gem, like a whirlpool of time in which it slowly swirled into eternity, occasionally revealing a trace of astonishment that could lure the soul of a person into it.

As long as you take a look, you can't take your eyes off it.

The boy even felt that if there was not a dark cave but a colorful starry sky above his head at this time, this dark green gem would be enough to eclipse the entire starry sky.

For a moment, even the threat of the violent bear villager was forgotten.

But suddenly, a huge force came from the wand.

The wand in the boy's hand was irresistibly pulled towards the gem.

He let go of his hands.

The gem on the ground swirled and rose slowly, wisps of bright but undazzling light shone on the rock walls of the cavern, as if the whole world was spinning with the gem, and the wand, the staff of the Elemental Emperor Odaron, also floated in the air and swirled closer to the dark green gem.

As the distance between the two approached, the light scattered from the gem began to sweep over the emerald leaf endlessly, and every time it was lit, the delicate veins and textures of the leaf could be clearly seen, and every time it was lit, it was gently trembling, and the branch staff was also injected with life power again and again, becoming more and more vivid, as if it was about to pull out new shoots at any time.

Finally, with a sizzling sound, a faint scent of flowers permeated, and the gem fell on the top of the handle of the staff, merging with it, and there was no trace of jointing, and the scattered light became much dimmer.

Merlin stared dumbfounded at the new wand in front of him.

He knew that only the most basic wands were not inlaid with crystals, and high-level wands were inlaid with different elements and magic gems according to different properties, and it was obvious that the Elemental Emperor's staff could not be just a simple entry-level wand, and it would only be true when it was fused with this beautiful dark emerald.

"Roar—" The bruised-skinned cry of the blue-skinned bear made the boy shudder.

But then he found out that the other party was not planning to enjoy a supper, but-

“…… Let me get this wand?" Morin gestured cautiously, for fear of misunderstanding the meaning of the fellow, and doing something drastic to make the other party slap himself into a pie on the rock wall.

"Roar—" the bear screamed again.

Seeing that the fellow had not yet raised his forepaw, the young man trembled and stretched out his hand and touched the familiar and unfamiliar wand.

Time seems to stand still.

The swirling wind ruffled the messy hair, and the silent electric light shone on the young face.

- The swirl projection in the dark emerald appeared in front of him, but it was not an illusion, it was a real swirl of light, which Morin knew represented the entrance to the space tunnel, similar to the door of the academy library, the corridor to the royal capital, and the time gate of the history of magic lesson, connecting two different spaces.

An entrance to a space that leads nowhere.

"An unfortunate successor. A low, magnetic voice rang out from the whirlpool.

"Come in. ”

……

Not far beyond the boundaries of Iluvita Academy, under a crumbled horn.

The rocky slope was gray with snow and ice in the moonlight, and suddenly a few pieces of rubble rolled down, and a muscular little arm stretched out from the rubble, and the arm twisted back and forth a few times, pushing away some of the surrounding rocks, and then pulling his huge body out of the rocky slope.

It's the stout Ice Warrior.

He had probably just woken up from a coma, staring blankly at the shattered corner cliff for a long time before he came back to his senses.

After two glances, the Icefield Warrior walked over to a nearby pile of rubble and slashed out, dragging out the half-dead hunter. In contrast, the tall and lanky hunter felt more badly wounded, and although he had woken up, he could not even stand on his feet, his muscles trembled uncontrollably, and he was helped by the strong man to a rock and sat down to rest.

Out of nowhere, the stalker took two gulps of a water bottle and coughed, while the strong man rummaged through the piles again to retrieve their weapon, and retrieve his cloak and the damaged spear from the place of the previous conflict.

Seeing that the originally sharp spear tip had been completely distorted, the two were silent.

"Hey, I can kill it alone!" the tracking hunter snorted angrily.

The Ice Warrior smiled wryly, "That bear has a weird ......"

"You're embarrassed to say it!" the tracker touched the slag on his mouth and pulled an injured left arm: "I think the boy on the bear's back was also weird!

He didn't think he could take down the bear with that trap.

Just to struggle a little longer.

"Who knew that monster bear would slap that hard......" The Ice Warrior examined his hammerhead:

"Although the power of your trap is good, it probably won't have much effect on the strange bear, as for the boy on the bear's back, although I don't know why he was carried by the strange bear, I obviously heard the boy shouting for help......

"What boy?!" a young man's voice sounded abruptly beside them.

Immediately after, a handsome man with a pale face appeared in front of them, if it weren't for the fact that these two adventurers were also well-informed, they would have thought that the man with green eyes was a forest elf.

The stalker cautiously reached for the dagger in his boot when he heard the unfamiliar sound, but the man with a girl relaxed him a little, and he noticed a purple magic rune on the girl's wrist, and his eyes were closed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"It was a teenager who was shouting for help on the back of the beast. The stalker said, inserting the dagger back into his boot without a trace, presumably realizing that the other party was really going to be against them with their current condition, and there was no way to resist: "We tried to stop the strange bear, but it was easily knocked away. ”

He tilted his head towards the collapsed cliff on the side.

"Where was the boy taken?" the young man asked.

"I just went in that direction," Tracker said, pointing to the northwest, "I'm injured right now, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you trace its traces for the time being, if you're willing to wait for me for a while—"

"Over there!" said the pale girl, staggering a little from the direction the hunter had pointed out.

"Hmm. The handsome young man disappeared into the distance with the girl.

The tracking hunter was stunned for a moment, and his eyes flashed: "Is it the legendary pentagram communication rune......?"

"Communication runes, what's that?" asked the Ice Warrior next to him.

He had barely said a word, and when the threat of force was not required, the stalker was generally responsible for their dealings with the outside world, and he was responsible for keeping vigilant for any potential danger.

"You don't know if you sell all your net worth, you can't buy a set back, and it's already out of the market. ”

"It's not like the bear has taken you away. The big guy said smugly.

Before the words fell, an unfamiliar figure appeared in front of them again.

With a short cape, soft-soled boots, a long bow and arrow feathers, and a restrained edge, he is a seasoned ranger.

He didn't even talk to the two of them, he just stopped and glanced at them before running silently into the distance again, his figure as light as a sturdy snow leopard, and he followed in exactly the same direction as the two had just left.

There is no deviation in the half-minute angle.

The Iceborne Warrior breathed a sigh of relief and hung his grip on the hammer back to his back, the pressure on him just now was even greater than that of the handsome young man, and after so many years of adventure, he knew how terrible this kind of ranger was.

Unlike loose adventurers, such rangers tend to work for large organizations such as temples or legions, and are responsible for all kinds of dangerous missions all year round, wandering in a fog that is difficult for the fire of order to illuminate, they are sharper than the most seasoned hunters, calmer than the most fearless warriors, and even deadlier than the most dangerous assassins.

More importantly, they are always the most ordinary adventurers, who know how to keep a low profile, and if they hide in the crowd, even if the enemy's gaze sweeps over his cheeks close by, they will not detect the slightest hostility.

will only subconsciously treat him as an ordinary adventurer.

The Ice Warrior looked at the hunter with a not very good face, and asked in a low voice: "The one with the girl in front should be a mage, and that guy just now is probably a ranger, and he looks much more powerful than the two of us......"

“…… Those two guys are chasing after them, shall we still go with them?"

"Go, why don't you go! We found the trail first, and according to the rules, we will take a profit!" It seemed that the ranger had given him a great stimulus, and he suddenly had the strength to stand up.

Distressed, he thrust the spear back into his waist, and the stalker took a closer look in the bright moonlight, and found that he could not find any traces of the strange bear, and his face stiffened even more. Thinking in the direction the girl had pointed out, he pointed to the big man, "Just go over there!"

Against the cold wind, the two limped to the northwest direction......

……

"Unfortunate successor, come in. A low, magnetic voice came from the whirlpool.

Morin's scalp shuddered, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

The back crashed into the icy cave rock wall.

Not to mention whether he will be torn to pieces by passing through this spatial vortex with his level, the unknown voice alone is creepy enough, who knows what the other side of the vortex is, and whether the voice that spoke is a human or a ghost.

He's a careful teenager who has just heard about the Ghost Story Contest, and he's wary of this kind of thing.

"Why don't you go in!" said Morin, for fear that the person on the other side would not hear.

If he goes to some terrible place through this tunnel and can't come back and die there, then his friends and family may not even be sure of their own life and death, and I am afraid that they will be even more sad.

As for the words "unfortunate successor" that the voice said, the boy didn't care about it at all.

You want to trick me into going in?

Do you know how the water demons in the ghost stories deceive people?

"Heh!" seemed amused, and the deep voice laughed, "I can't get through, and this whirlpool passage won't last long, if you don't come in, you will definitely regret it in the future." ”

Hearing that the other party couldn't come out, the boy made up his mind.

Hmph, I just don't go in, what can you do to me?

Thinking that the other party said that the whirlpool passage would not last long, he hurriedly pretended to be interested: "Huh? Could it be that there are a lot of treasures in it?"

"The most precious treasure is set before you. The deep voice said, "Of course, there are more important things." ”

"Do you mean this Elemental Emperor's cane?" Morin asked, "Who are you?What does it have to do with the Elemental Emperor?why does this cane open the spatial vortex, why are you over there, why—"

"Hey!" the deep voice seemed to see through the boy's intention to delay time, and shouted, "Little Blue!"

"Huh?" Morin was stunned, who is Xiaolan?

"Shoot him in for me!" the voice added.

Then, following the glow of the brilliant gem, Merlin saw the blue-skinned bear raise its forefoot again.

Finally, it was his turn, the boy screamed, and this stupid bear was actually called Xiaolan?!

He flew into the whirlpool.

……

Maureen fell to the ground with his ass facing backwards and a goose falling on the sand.

The light is bright and full of colors.

All colors.

The sand grains under your feet are divided into winding rivers with wide floating widths, each with a unique color, and changing colors as the sand particles flow slowly, and the sky above is foggy, and there are also countless floating mist streamers of different colors, intertwined with each other and moving slowly as if they are alive.

If you look closely at a streamer, you will find that it is constantly changing colors, but no matter which one it becomes, you will never find a second one with the same color in the sky at that moment.

Colors that have been seen, imagined, unimagined, and even unrecognizable are presented here.

But the young man's gaze was fixed on a tall figure.

I even forgot to get up from the sand.

It was a man in his thirties, with deep eyes and a high nose, a full vestibule, a steely cheek line under a short beard, and a burning gaze that was not angry.

"You, you, you're ......" Morin swore he had seen the image on the books in the library.

The appearance carved out of almost a mold would never be mistaken by his memory.

"You're the Elemental Emperor! you're the Elemental Emperor Oldalong!!" he exclaimed incoherently.

The man smiled.

Then his low, magnetic voice sounded again:

"I'm the Elemental Emperor Odaron Stewart......"

“…… The phantom left behind. ”
