Chapter 19: The Third Force
"Since there is a huge amount of mana under this formation, why don't the alien beasts outside move at all? Maybe this composite array is different from the ones on your Continent of Birth. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: "Xi Yunyun still hasn't given up the possibility of using the power of the formation to destroy the alien beast.
Laxis didn't know the situation outside, and it was not her duty to infer strategies based on the situation, so she could only repeat the content recorded in the literature to Xi Yunyun: "The formation on the Continent of Life is not broken by ordinary alien beasts, only the beast army with higher intelligence has the ability to break the formation. ”
"Are you saying that this array is still safe now?Master Luo, do you see that these alien beasts outside look like beast armies?" Xi Yunyun asked, since Luo Tianxin seemed to have a lot of knowledge, she was more respectful towards him.
Luo Tianxin shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the beast army with my own eyes, but according to historical records, the beast army is very organized, and most of the members are high-level alien beasts, and these don't look like them on the outside." ”
Xi Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and Luo Tianxin added: "According to my speculation, since this array is sealed with huge mana, it may attract alien beasts to instinctively approach here, although they can't enter the ancient city enchantment, but it is not so easy for the refuge here to escape." ”
At this moment, the momentum of the candle flame in Xi Yunyun's hand weakened, and several ominous purple lights appeared on the shadow wall, as if some thunder and lightning power was slashing on it, making a crackling sound.
"What's going on at this time?" Xi Yunyun was shocked when he saw this, this array wouldn't be broken, right?
Luo Tianxin analyzed based on his own formation experience: "It is obvious that this formation is in an unstable state. Maybe it hasn't transformed a large amount of black mana here for thousands of years, and now that so many alien beasts around it have provided it with a steady stream of power, the transformation array is overloaded. Moreover, it has already begun to absorb the magical force from you and me to balance out too much black mana, so the fire-type light array you implemented is almost unsustainable. I guess it's going to break soon. ”
"Breaking the formation? this ...... What should I do?" Xi Yunyun knew that it was useless to ask Laxis, and was anxiously trying to do something to remedy this shadow wall, when Laxis suddenly shuddered, she seemed to have searched for something in the database.
"It is recorded that more than a thousand years ago on the Habitat Continent, a star royal-level mage took the lead in breaking the seal in order to prevent the beast army from obtaining the power in the composite array, and at the moment of breaking the formation. As a result, he failed, and the great power could not be received by him, but blackened him, and was eventually devoured by the beast army. Laxis's words were like a basin of cold water to extinguish Xi Yunyun's expectations, and Luo Tianxin was also disappointed, what a star royal-level mage can't do, don't think about it yourself.
Xi Yunyun looked at the barely maintained formation diagram, and sadness swelled in her heart, she thought of Xiao Yu, thought of Zhou Wensen, and thought of the kind refugees in the ancient city, did everyone have to die here? Since they were all going to die after breaking the formation, shouldn't they give up now?
If you delay a little, wait for reinforcements from the government army...... She thought about it and immediately decided it wouldn't work. Although I heard from the soldiers guarding the door that they were waiting for the Western Army Headquarters of Song Shacheng to transfer reinforcements, according to the information of Zhou Wensen's boss, the current Song Shacheng is only afraid that it is also a mess and cannot take care of it. Moreover, ordinary human armies can't deal with so many alien beasts.
"I want to give this method a try, it's a big deal to be blackened, and there is no other way out anyway. Xi Yunyun also made a decision for himself when he said it. Luo Tian looked at her in surprise, admired her courage very much, and said that he would help her. Actually, she is an intermediate mage, and she can still survive if she wants to run. Xi Yunyun listened to this, and his favorability towards her increased greatly.
"Laxis, can you find the spell used by that star royal-level mage?" Xi Yunyun asked, there was no beast army to interfere with them at the moment, maybe the result would be different. Unfortunately, Laxis didn't find the relevant information, and she didn't deduce too complicated logical problems.
Xi Yunyun suddenly thought of someone and might be able to ask, so he sent a message to Lucia, briefly describing the current situation. She had left her mailing address and said that she could ask her questions if she had any questions.
This time she was not disappointed, and Lucia replied to her immediately. Although she had never seen this kind of compound formation with her own eyes, when she practiced with Jaime in the past, an elder who guided them mentioned that this kind of formation could receive black mana and magic force without distinguishing between good and evil, and then transform these two opposing mana into a third force.
"The third force?" Luo Tianxin and Xi Yunyun glanced at each other, since these two kinds of mana were already dualistic opposites and mutually reversible, how could there be a third force? This concept is somewhat beyond their cognition.
Lucia then sent another message saying that she didn't know much about it, but luckily, the elder who had instructed her and Jaime in her practice was interested in the formation and decided to come and help them right away.
"Can he get here so quickly?" Xi Yunyun asked Luo Tianxin, she didn't know much about the abilities of these magicians, maybe she could teleport or something.
Luo Tian thought for a while and said: "How can it be so easy to teleport, we are already in the enchantment, if we want to teleport, we must first establish a space-time enchantment on ourselves, and then break the enchantment here, how easy it is to say, even the highest level mage also needs to spend a lot of time." But ......"
"But what?" sounds like a joke.
"If it's just the consciousness that moves, you can do it quickly. Luo Tianxin remembered that there was a group of elders in the alliance, and these elders were all ancient archmage heroic souls restored by the magic ship system, if it was them, there should be no problem. She just wanted to explain to Xi Yunyun, only to see Laxis in the projection frame disappear at once, and a few seconds later, a shadow-like black figure appeared in the frame.
The two looked at the black shadow curiously, it turned out to be an old man in a cloak, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his tone was very kind.
"Hello two mages, I'm Trinity. I heard from Lucia, this ......" He looked up at the shadow wall, nodded as if confirming something, and then sighed and said: "The composite array in front of you is a powerful thousand-year-old formation, which was brought to the Continent by a powerful earth mage, but I didn't expect it...... Actually ...... by you You've found it. This is also fate. ”
"Trinity...... Elder?" Luo Tianxin was stunned, Elder Trinity was the most famous elder in the history of the Alliance, and the eldest in the elder group, he had gone through more than a thousand years, and he actually appeared in front of himself as an ordinary mage, and he was still so unpretentious.
"You can call me Trinity, I'm just a little older hahaha. Luo Tianxin had a delusion, and Sanyi's voice sounded a little excited.
Xi Yunyun didn't know the details of the other party, but it seemed that this Trinity was really old: "Let's call you Trinity Mage, in case the formation is broken, I want to be like the legendary Star Mage, try to take on the huge power, do you know what to do?"
Sanyi shook his head, Xi Yunyun's heart sank, thinking that the other party thought that his royal level was too low, and just wanted to say that there was no other way now, but Sanyi laughed.
"You don't have to learn that mage, you can have your own way. Although Sanyi's words were very vague, Xi Yunyun was inexplicably optimistic. This old man shouldn't be able to deceive people.
What made her even happier was that Zhou Wensen also arrived in the ancient city. Despite some troubles on the way, he managed to rescue several survivors and soldiers, who are now resting in the museum.
Seeing him return safely, Xi Yunyun suddenly felt that the few hours she had been separated from him were so long, and she had a lot to say to him. But when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them hard, because he was followed by a strange man in black, saying that he was his comrade-in-arms.
