Chapter 51: Falling short

Speaking of which, Raymond was also unlucky, and during this time, he met several people who were above the strength of the Great Maturity Stage one after another: the sinister and cunning bad old man in the Dragon Valley, the girl who surrendered to the Magic Guild without a fight, and the unfathomable strength of the person in front of him who seemed to be dying in his last years. The first one gave him the feeling that it was as difficult to guard against as a cold arrow, the second as a god that was irresistible, and the third as deep as a deep tan but unable to see the bottom.

Raymond already had a premonition when he made his move, this fight should not end anytime soon, it would be a long tug-of-war. The old man seems to have no offensive power, but in fact, he uses defense instead of attack, borrowing strength to fight.

This punch approached the old man's cheek at a very fast speed as Raymond's body moved forward, but soon he felt that this punch had lost its focus, as if it was hit in water, although he could continue to push forward, but the speed and momentum had dropped to a very low level.

A green mist filled the entire battle area, and this viscous liquid mist blocked Raymond's punch, making him unable to use his fists and kicks.

The fog can cover the eyes, but it can't hide the feelings. With the dragon's sense, Raymond clearly "saw" that the old man did not move a bit, and his own punch was pushed away by a soft force from the side when he approached the old man, deflecting the direction and hitting the air.

The body of the dragon clan is the strongest of all races, although Raymond did not turn into a dragon, but the power he can exert at this time is enough to smash a boulder, even if the old man has mastered the advanced magic, he will never dare to fight hard. So the old man had to limit Raymond's play as much as possible, so that he had nowhere to go.

Raymond immediately fell into passivity after the first move failed, because the green mist had spread and almost enveloped the forest, and if you looked closely, you could see that the trees in the forest were withering at a rapid rate.

Nature magic, although it is a kind of magic that worships nature in the name, and even reveals a touch of environmentalism, is not really the case. There are also many branches of natural magic, one of which is life magic, which is also the magic that the old man is good at. This kind of life magic does not have the effect of "healing the flesh and bones of the dead", but instead extracts the life force of the surrounding creatures and releases a powerful magic.

Ajnon, the head of the three Nanyang brothers before, sacrificed himself to save the two brothers at a critical moment, in fact, he extracted all his life force and converted it into magical energy, but he couldn't stop pumping his life force, and in the end he could only become a corpse.

The old man has always been stingy with his own means, and has always pursued to achieve the maximum effect with the least effort, so he used this forest to fight Raymond at the right time.

The power of nature is terrifying, and even a top-level earth-based magician may not be able to launch a huge earthquake, and even a fire-based master will be difficult to cause a spectacular scene like a volcanic eruption. The strength of the dragon clan is strong, but when it fights against the vitality of a large forest within a radius of several kilometers, I am afraid that there is no chance of victory.

The old man only needs to guide this life force to gather into the effect he wants, so as to trap Raymond, then he can easily exhaust the opponent's combat power, and he has almost no consumption.

Magic! Damn magic again! Raymond hated the source that pushed the dragons to a second race, but he had to sigh at its power.

"You should be a dragon, right?" the old man said unexpectedly, knowing that speaking is also a kind of consumption.

"So what?" said Raymond, who was restrained at every turn in the mist, simply stood still.

"I don't want to be an enemy of the dragons. "The old man's meaning is obvious, you can leave if you want to go, but that's it for today, you can't take those two people away.

Raymond was quite useful when he heard this, after all, the dragon clan was still strong, and although he shrank into a domain, no force dared to underestimate it.

"Who is Your Excellency? With this kind of strength, I'm afraid he is also a figure with a head and a face on the mainland, right?" Although Raymond has been mixed with humans for hundreds of years, he has no impression of the old man.

"I'm not from the mainland. The old man waved his hand slightly, and the mist immediately burrowed into the nostrils of Terrence and Yavis, and the two slowly woke up.

Although life magic can't sustain life, it can restore the skills of the human body, and it's a good healing magic, but it's just a pain in the woods.

"That's it, I'll take care of the rest. The old man whispered to himself, and the remaining mist was slowly absorbed by the trees, and the withered trees finally regained their vitality.

"Alright, let's go. The old man didn't lift his eyes, and silently turned around and walked south. Terrence and Yavis glanced at Raymond before following the old man south.

"Portleme?"

When Lin Qian received Raymond's message, it was almost noon, and Raymond was a little overwhelmed by such a long distance, slumped in his chair and replied without saying a word.

It was in another room on the top floor, Raymond had requested, because there was Xiao Yi sitting in that office, where he really didn't dare to say a word.

"Why did he come? Did he receive the news? Impossible, it's only been three days, and even if the news has passed, he has just been able to reach Nanyang. Lin Qian was a little angry when he was stabbed at a critical moment, this group of people in Nanyang is really elusive.

"This may be the power of natural magic. Clausen on the side suddenly interjected.

Clausen then said: "We also used the magic grass to make a device that transmits signals before, if these people also have this similar device, they can transmit the message as soon as possible." ”

"I understand!" Lin Qian suddenly remembered something, got up and walked out, "Go to the palace!"

Raymond has a special status and stays, and Clausen, as a bodyguard and advisor, is also the royal magician of the palace, and follows Lin Qian to find his actual master, Elena.

Lin Qian briefly told the matter, and Elena immediately realized something: "It's Princess Ante, it must be her news!"

"That's right," Lin Qian was also very troubled by this, "I actually forgot that woman, the biggest spy in your palace. ”

There are still some means to deal with everyone else, but it is very difficult to deal with the titular mother of a country unless there is some justifiable reason.

"This matter can only be like this, let's discuss how to face Nanyang's revenge. Lin Qian proposed.

Elena thought for a while and judged the stakes: "Let Charles be careful, the Great Elder is a must-fight, he shouldn't directly turn his face with us, but it's not easy to say to Charles." ”

"Anyway, we did it with his hand. I promised him that I would do everything I could to keep him safe, and that he should be fine as long as he didn't go out easily. With his strength, even if he can't fight, it's more than enough to escape. Lin Qian analyzed.

Clausen sighed on the side: "If only His Majesty were here, Potlaim would not dare to be so arrogant." ”

Lin Qian and Elena glanced at each other, but they were silent, if the old fox was here, there would be nothing to do with Lin Qian.

"By the way, Brother Lin, who is that helper you are talking about, can you escape from the Great Elder's hands unharmed?" Elena didn't know that Raymond was helping Lin Qian, thinking that he had dug up some master.

"It's the dragon Raymond I helped last time, he has to repay the favor, I can't get rid of it, it's better to keep it. I guess Potlime didn't want to make a feud with the dragons, so he was released. ”

Thinking of Raymond, Lin Qian immediately remembered the news he had inadvertently revealed, and said with some caution: "Elena, haven't we been looking for news from Lipsus?" I think he is likely to be in Dragon Valley, and the old dragon said that there is a very powerful old man in Dragon Valley recently, and he looks very ugly, and I guess it is him." ”

"So he's hiding there, do you know where Ryugu is?" Elena immediately became interested.

Raymond was reluctant to say. Lin Qian raised his eyebrows. "What? do you want to go?"

"No," Elena hurriedly shook her head, "none of us can beat Lipsus." ”

"Then you want to?" Lin Qian seemed to think of something.

"Unite with the Dragons!" said Elena as a matter of course, "There is such a good opportunity for us to join forces with the Dragons to eradicate Lipsus together, and we can deal with those people in the South Seas together in the future." ”

Lin Qian was a little amused: "How do you know that Lipsus and the Dragon Clan are enemies? The Dragon Clan has always respected the strong, maybe he is a distinguished guest there." Moreover, he knows space magic, and no one can stop him if he wants to leave, even the forbidden demon realm can't trap him. ”

Elena was immediately deflated, pouting a little unhappy, Lin Qian did speak a little unpolitely.

"Alright, Elena. Lin Qian had no choice but to touch her little head and comfort: "It's not easy to deal with him, he can live a few years as a bad old man, and we will consume him to death." I heard that he was seriously injured this time, and I don't know if he will survive. ”

Also, after so much time, Lipsus still didn't make any moves, maybe he really suffered a lot of injuries from that battle, and he couldn't recover for a while.

"Well," Elena was tired of being in Lin Qian's arms, and her mood immediately improved, and she also gained confidence after listening to Lin Qian's words, "Maybe I can surpass him in a few more years, but I want to become the strongest magician in history." ”

Clawson on the side looked at the man and woman, and the meaning in his eyes was very profound.

On the way back from the palace, Clawson finally couldn't help but say, "Young Master Lin, your relationship with the princess is not ordinarily good." ”

"Yes," Lin Qian didn't hear what Clawson meant, and said to himself, "Elena is a cute little girl, who is the little devil in your eyes?"

Clausen shook his head helplessly, sighed, and silently followed.
