"What is this," Teresa said, looking at the crystal in her hand, "What's going on?

"That's not important," Garrison motioned for Du Shen and the girl to walk over to him, "and take off his clothes." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Because they had explained before they came, Du Shen and the others were not surprised. The two of them put the crystal at their feet and quickly took off their coats and pants. Du Shen took off his shoes and socks, and finally wore only a pair of shorts. Teresa is pretty much the same, with only a pair of shorts and a crop top.

Garrison stands in front of Teresa, and Viscount Oscar walks up to Dushen. At the same time, they reminded Du Shen and the two not to move. Garrison and Oscar, out of nowhere, pull out a thin needle. They kept piercing the skin of Du Shen and the others with fine needles.

Garrison and Oscar move faster and faster. Du Shen could see that blood droplets were oozing out of the pinholes in his skin. The strange thing is that although his body was stained red with large patches of blood, Du Shen didn't feel much pain. All he felt was a slight tingling of the blood.

Du Shen noticed that Teressa's state was similar to his own.

Garrison is the chief knight, and Oscar is also officially a knight. The hands of the two were extremely fast, accurate and ruthless. In just a short period of time, the exposed skin of Du Shen and the two of them basically left pinholes. Basically, it was because their hands, necks, and faces were not poisoned.

The pinholes are sparse and dense, as if forming a specific pattern. Du Shen thought it was over. He was looking at his bloodied body when he heard Garrison tell Teresa to close her eyes. And Oscar pressed Du Shen's shoulder and told him not to move.

Garrison and Oscar come out again. They stabbed Du Shen and the two of them separately on the skin covered by their clothes and pants.

Because of her shyness, Teresa's face gradually reddened. Du Shen urged Oscar to hurry up several times.

Garrison and Oscar are indeed moving quickly. After just a dozen breaths, the two stopped their movements almost simultaneously and straightened up.

Teresa opened her eyes and found that her clothes and pants had completely turned from gray to pink because of the blood. The pants worn by Du Shen are similar.

Teresa was about to lean over to pick up her coat and put it on. Sheldon picked up the girl's clothes first: "Your Highness, the ceremony is not yet complete. I can't get dressed yet. The old servant will keep it for you for the time being. Please pick up your crystal first. ”

Du Shen didn't have this kind of treatment. He picks up his clothes and hears Garrison remind, "Don't get dressed yet." ”

Garrison's voice just fell. The short and fat Baron Dori then spoke: "Du Shen's matter, do you want to think about it again?"

Garrison was not happy. He was about to grab the white, but he heard Oscar already speak: "Du Shen brought out the best crystal ever." I think he should be given a chance. At least as a bonus!"

"Alright," Garrison glared at Dori sternly, "Didn't you just agree on it?"

Dori glanced at Sheldon quietly and was speechless.

Sheldon didn't look at Dori. He looked at Du Shen happily: "Du Shen, you also pick up the crystal and participate in the next ceremony with His Highness." ”

Du Shen smiled and leaned over to pick up the crystal.

Garrison takes the lead, and the group walks to another smaller metal door. Garrison, Sheldon, and Oscar each pull a gem out of their arms. Gemstones come in a variety of sizes, colors, and shapes. The three of them shoved the gems into the holes in the door.

The sound of grinding came from both directions in front and back. The small metal door in front of him slowly opened to the inside, and the large metal door leading to the secret realm closed automatically. The four of Sheldon did not turn around to retrieve the gem from the large metal door. They focused on the secret room inside the small metal door.

The secret room was dark, and Du Shen stood at the door, unable to confirm the situation inside for a while.

Garrison motioned for Du Shen and the two to step forward, "You two, hold the crystal and go in." There's a pool in there, you go into it, and you strip yourself naked......"

Before Garrison could finish speaking, Teresa interrupted in shame, "Do you have to take off your clothes?"

Garrison grimaced: "Clothes obscuring tattoos will drag down the transformation of energy." Whether you can take it off or not, you can weigh it yourself. ”

Garrison deliberately turned his face to Du Shen: "The water in the pool is all energy essence. You try to digest as much as you can. Soak or drink it straight. If you feel uncomfortable, hold the crystal in your arms and press it against your skin. ”

"By the way," Garrison reminded very seriously, "you only have a limit to how long you can stay inside. So, according to your physical condition, try to absorb as much as possible!" After speaking, Garrison urged Du Shen and the two to hurry in.

Teresa looked sluggish. Du Shen threw his clothes to his feet, hugged the crystal tightly and stepped into the door. As soon as he entered the door, the crystal in his arms emitted a soft golden light, and Du Shen was able to see the situation in the secret room clearly.

The area of the secret room is not large, only fifty or sixty meters in diameter. There was nothing in it, only a circular pool, about forty meters in diameter. The water in the pool was pitch black, with subtle ripples on the surface of the water.

Du Shen walked to the edge of the pool with the crystal in his arms and slowly entered the water. He felt that the pool was very dense, and he naturally floated half-afloat.

Du Shen turned around and saw Teresa walking slowly with the crystal in her arms. At the gate, Garrison and the others are closing the door with their hands.

In order to avoid the girl's shyness, Du Shen took the initiative to swim to the depths of the secret room. When he arrived at the edge of the pool, Du Shen sank, opened his mouth, and swallowed two large mouthfuls of pool water one after another. However, as soon as the pool water flowed down his throat, Du Shen's body suddenly struggled.

Du Shen felt that what he was swallowing was not any pool water, but magma mixed with aqua regia. Du Shen felt that there was a needle in his throat, a knife stirred in his stomach, and a fire burning in his stomach.

Du Shen hurriedly pressed the crystal to his belly, and mobilized the elemental flame in his chest to help digest the energy. However, Du Shen still couldn't help but snort one after another. In a trance, Du Shen heard Teresa's inquiry, but he didn't bother to answer.

I don't know how long it has been, but the pain in my stomach slowly subsides. Du Shen felt tired. He saw a cloud of golden light submerged more than ten meters away. From time to time, there was a slight muffled grunt and cry of pain in the golden light. That's Teressa.

Du Shen estimated that Teresa would not be in danger, so he didn't check it. He secretly checked his condition: there was no significant improvement in his physical attributes, but there was a significant increase in elemental flames.

Originally, the elemental flame was in its natural state, less than the size of a thumb. After digesting the pool water just now, Du Shen found that the flame had grown significantly.

Du Shen was overjoyed, and immediately summoned the flames out of his body and immersed them in water. The flames weren't extinguished, but they didn't absorb much energy either. Du Shen felt it for a while, and reluctantly withdrew the flame into his body, once again intending to use his body to absorb the surrounding energy essence.

Drink water, endure pain, drink water, endure pain...... After feeling like a year, Du Shen heard the friction sound of the stone door opening, and also heard Garrison shouting, "Okay, come out!" The energy runes of the elemental pool have stopped working, and it is useless to stay any longer. Come out!"

Du Shen responded loudly, not hearing Teressa's movement. At this time, the crystals in the arms of the two had long been exhausted, and the golden light was extinguished. Du Shen couldn't see Teresa's figure, and couldn't help shouting: "Teresa, where are you, it's time to go out!"

Du Shen shouted a few times in succession, and was about to paddle to find it. A faint female voice suddenly sounded not far away, intermittently: "Don't come...... I'm fine, get out right away. ”

Du Shen turned, deliberately avoiding the girl's position. He swam towards the gate and checked himself: the improvement of attributes is not too much, only the physical strength is increased by 1 point, and the spirit is increased by 2 points. On the contrary, the elemental flame expanded significantly, and in its natural state, it was the size of an egg. Moreover, the flame light from the outer layer of the elemental flame became pitch black. The efficiency of its overall energy conversion is almost doubled.

As the sound of paddling sounded behind him, Du Shen discovered more: his senses seemed to become more acute. Although he couldn't see it, Du Shen could vaguely sense Teresa's movements at every moment.

The mutation of the elemental fire seems to enhance Du Shen's combat effectiveness in the dark environment.

Walking out of the door, Du Shen followed the instructions and handed the crystal that had become transparent again to Viscount Oscar. He picked up his shirt and put it on.

Teresa didn't come out directly. She instructed Sheldon to hand the clothes into the chamber. She hid in the darkness and dressed herself before she walked out the door.

As Du Shen and the two were dressing, Garrison explained to them, "You should be able to feel a cloud of energy in your chest. It is equivalent to the elemental fire preached by the temple, but it is more advanced than the fire of the temple. It can spontaneously absorb energy from the outside world and thrive on itself. It enhances the power of all kinds of shadow sorcery. It allows you to become a master of the lurking in the dark. There's more to it for you to develop in the future. ”

"Teresa," Garrison instructed the girl, "you release a shadow bind from us. ”

After a brief brew, a shadow flowed from the girl's fingertips. The shadow appears to be a living thing, swooping down on Garrison's calf and then quickly leaping towards the others.

Garrison nodded in satisfaction, and Sheldon and the others were somewhat happy. The shadow of a living thing, naturally dissipates slowly.

Sheldon bowed to Teresa and said hello, "Your Highness, congratulations on becoming a true wizard. You've been in the Chamber of Secrets for a day and a night. Please return to the mansion with Garrison to rest. I'm done with the rest of the business, and then I'll be there. ”

Garrison takes the lead, and Du Shen and Teresa follow.

Du Shen checked the flames in his body as he walked. He kept sending out his thoughts, and the flames in his body vibrated violently, slowly splitting apart. Eventually, the flames in Du Shen's body split into two: one was the size of a thumb and was bright red like blood, and the other was slightly larger than a lychee and as black as ink.

Du Shen had a thought, and the two flames instantly merged into one, becoming the size of an egg, and the inner infrared was black.

Du Shen realized: It turned out that unconsciously, he had partially reached the idea of integrating the core elements of different natures.

Du Shen already had two different elemental cores at this time: the Flame Core from the Flame Sanctuary, and the Shadow Core from the Shadow Keep.

Du Shen felt it carefully, and did not feel the rejection reaction of the two cores. He felt that the fusion of the cores had greatly enhanced the abilities that each had originally had. Du Shen couldn't help but be secretly happy, as if he saw a broader future.
