Chapter XVII
Worst!
Monia reacted immediately, without the slightest hesitation, and rolled directly on the spot, hiding behind the bookshelf, avoiding the other party's sight, and then almost completing a set of guiding actions like a cloud, spitting out a spell, and a strong light suddenly lit up, enveloping the whole world.

- Flashwork.
This is a small spell written by the mage in the City of Holy Roses, which may not have much effect on enemies above the high ranks, but it can certainly have a disruptive effect. Whether it is a warrior or a mage, as long as they do not cross that line and break through the legend, they are still human, and the limits of human bodies imprison their limits, and human instincts imprison their behavior. Maybe the flash technique can only take effect for a moment, but it can be used as a disrupting the opponent's rhythm, which is undoubtedly extremely effective.
Even if a high-level mage can theoretically use a psychic network instead of visual imaging, generally speaking, no mage will be so painful that he will keep the psychic network open at all times. As long as it is not turned on, Monia has this confidence, and the sudden flash of light will make the intruder lose the opportunity - even if the other party reacts immediately and activates the mental network - please note that it takes time to react and activate the mental network.
In their shoes, the mage himself could not be completely exempt from this small spell. However, at this time, as the releaser of the spell, she didn't need to be exempt from the effect of the spell, she just needed to close her eyes tightly at the first time.
For a mage of Monia's level, closing her eyes is the same as not being able to see, but as a user of this spell, she notes the approximate location of the other party before using it, and after the flash spell, it is followed by two small tricks: greasy and cobweb.
These two tricks that often reap miraculous effects in low-level fields are not so practical for high-level professionals, and the balance of high-level mages may not be as outstanding as that of high-level fighters, but they are also mages, and they have always been most vigilant about this kind of control spells that can cause miraculous effects, even if they succeed, high-level mages can quickly remove the control effect.
The reason why Monia chose these two spells as the first move, on the one hand, is because these are the few spells that she can instantaneously and form a certain cooperation with the flash spell, and the other is because the spells above the intermediate level have mage shields that can be triggered instantly, and with the spells she masters, she can't break through the barrier in front of a high-level mage, and if she really fights him, it must be an impossible battle to win.
Luckily, Monia didn't have to win, she had to get out of here.
Monia may not be the most combatant of all the mages, but she must be the best at escaping. Before she became a mage, she used the ability to travel in phase in the Circle of Deception to escape danger many times, and after becoming a mage, she even used her outstanding stealth skills to plot against the Blessed Knight in the path of her true name, and even escaped the pursuit of the god incarnation.
She is the most vocal when it comes to escaping. In her opinion, the most important thing to escape is to make the other party unable to find you, not to find you, and the rest are all actions around these two points - from flash to greasy, to cobweb, these are all small spells that can be instantaneous by mages, but they all play a role in disrupting the opponent's rhythm, delaying the opponent's time, and making the opponent unable to withdraw from the pursuit in the first place.
The time lag between casting these spells and the other party's response to dismantling them was exactly what Monia needed, but the situation evolved a little more than she expected. The bright light had just dissipated, and before she could open her eyes, there was a "poof" sound in her ears.
Almost completely without any resistance, he fell to the ground.
The mage was distracted for a moment, but soon woke up - now was not the time to be surprised, the first priority was to get out of here immediately, and if he continued to delay, it was likely that all the conditions he had created would be wasted.
Frankly speaking, Monia can't be considered a decisive and assertive person in her daily life, and she often struggles about whether today's dessert is a vegetable or a fruit, and her opinions are often swayed by others, but once she enters the battle, her spirit will be highly concentrated, and once a decision is made, she will implement it and resolutely carry it out.
The mage, who realized that he had lost his mind, did not even glance at the intruder behind him, and immediately ran in the direction of the gate.
- But.
"Is this an enchantment?".
In front of the beautifully carved door, Monia hit the non-existent wall, rubbing her head and getting up with tears in her eyes - the enchantment is a side branch of the sealing spell, its core is rejection and separation, and the owner of the enchantment in front of her is undoubtedly a mage who has infiltrated the ancient tree of knowledge, and its role is to seal the connection between this library area and the outside world, and evolve it into a relatively independent space.
Not only would she not be able to get out, but even her voice and the effects of the spells she used would be isolated from this library, which meant that she would face the infiltrating mage alone.
"It's terrible...... Woohhh ā
Crashing into the enchantment unguarded, if it weren't for the fact that her physique was far superior to that of humans, she would have to hit her head and bleed unconscious, but even then she still hit her dizzy. Although the injury is not severe, the inability to concentrate is one of the worst situations for the caster.
There is no doubt that Monia is in the worst of this situation.
"It's really careless that there are still people." A voice came from behind him, the intruder's voice, "If it weren't for the situation, I really wanted to make you into a slice, just a mid-level mage, how did you hide under the detection of life?" Is it some special prop? First time I heard about ...... If so, be sure to do some research. ā
There is no escape.
After confirming this fact once again, the mage shook his head and turned to face the intruder.
It was the first time she had taken a serious look at the intruder, and the first time her eyes met, her fighting instincts preceded her conscious actions, rolling out of the way, unleashing her flashing spell, only to roughly see the indistinct outline of the opponent's body.
The intruder was a middle-aged man of about fifty or sixty years old, with sparse hair on his head and half-bald, and although he was wearing a wide mage robe, he could still be seen to be a little bloated. However, his facial features can be seen as the delicate shadow of his youth, and his slightly blessed cheeks with the passage of time and a pair of old unilateral glasses make him give people a rather kind first impression.
First impressions are only first impressions after all, and if she had met the old mage in the City of Eagles in Lorelandan, Monia would probably come up and ask for advice. But here, a human mage suddenly appeared in the Elven Forest, and the positions of the two sides were almost irreconcilable.
You can only fight, you can only win.
"Who are you?"
Monia asked, dragging out the time by talking, relieving the pain in her head.
"Although I disdain to do things that hide my head and tail, but who let him make this time the conditions that I can't refuse?" The intruder shook his head in an almost completely incomprehensible voice, "You don't need to know my name, after all, there is no need to say so much for a guy who is about to return to the Aether Sea. ā
It's really not enough oil and salt......
The mage frowned slightly, there was no good way for a while - her original plan was to use the opportunity of dialogue to communicate the origin of the Tree of Knowledge, and use the bloodline of the primordial elf to directly obtain the authority of the superior and activate the defense system. But she didn't expect that the other party would refuse her request to talk so decisively, after all, in the eyes of the other party, she should belong to the completely harmless type, and the secrets of the ancient tree of knowledge are not even known to the elves, let alone humans.
"Is that weird?" The intruder used the lingua franca of human beings, an unrecognizable accent, and because of the difference in eyesight between the two sides, he could see Monia's appearance clearly, "Such a young mid-level mage, although he is an elf, is it too abnormal...... Little one, are you the manager of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge? ā
"I ......," Monia hesitated slightly, unable to confirm what she meant, but finally replied in a calm tone, "Yes." ā
However, her heart was not as calm as her voice, on the contrary, the turmoil in her heart was like a river and a sea flipping, and it could not be calmed down for a long time - the other party actually knew that this was the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, and she came here completely prepared - to be able to know the secret of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, it ......
The mage didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and just then the other party's voice came into his ears.
"Shall I ask you a question?" The intruder asked, "If you can answer it, we basically have no stakes, and it's good for you and me, but if you can't answer it, then ...... What awaits you will be the obvious results. ā
He paused and asked word by word, "Where is the Codex of Yggtrasil?" ā
"Yggdrasil's Codex?" The mage muttered, she knew very well what kind of existence Yggdrasil was, and she knew the value of the Codex's existence very well, but when these two words that were not unfamiliar were combined, she suddenly had a feeling that her head could not function.
"Yes, it is the Codex left behind by the gods who created the elves in the primeval era, the root of the creation of the mage, the world's first codex to record the mysteries of the Aether." The intruder opened his arms and said in a passionate voice, "If I can get it, I can know more, more, the secrets of the world......"
He shifted his gaze to Monia and asked in a morbidly fanatical tone, "Tell me!" Tell me! Where is Yggdrasil's Codex? Where is the Book of Ten Thousand Laws! ā
Monia looked at his frenzy, shook her head, and smiled, "Sorry, I don't know. ā
After receiving this reply, the intruder's expression suddenly froze, his crazy expression retracted, and a kind smile appeared on his slightly rich face, and he said politely: "Since this is the case, then you can only be asked to die." ā
Before the words fell, the atmosphere roared.
