When hope means despair, I suddenly felt like I was being held to my neck by the Grim Reaper, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in the palm of my hand that was being played by death. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, at this critical juncture, Teacher Vitan suddenly recited a mantra: "Reindoumière, the god of time who travels in the void, please obey my contract, come to my eyes, and obey my call!" In my name, Osdu. St. Pian commands you—unleash the power of time, activate—absolute stillness! ”

A powerful magical force was suddenly released from the surrounding space, and a huge black storm was unbelievably still in front of us! Not only has the whole storm become a still life, but even the spherical purple electricity in the storm has been stagnant in space, and everything has become a living still life landscape painting under the painter's brush!

"Everyone, enter the crater!" Mr. Vitan, who had unleashed a powerful spell, said in a slightly trembling voice. Everyone didn't have time to admire this unimaginable magic, so under the solemn tone of Teacher Vitan, they quickly galloped towards the basin valley.

When we entered the valley, the storm that had been static was surging again, but we could no longer enter this valley with a strange magnetic field.

After everyone stopped, I noticed that Mr. Vitan's whole body was trembling violently, his face looked extremely haggard and pale, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his face, and I couldn't help but cry out: "Teacher! He hurried to his side.

"Teacher Vitan, you are out of strength, is your mana too depleted?" Vivien was also concerned.

"Don't be distracted by other things, let's deal with the crisis in front of you first!" Teacher Vitan waved his hand and said to me solemnly.

"Teacher, your body ......"

I suddenly felt a sense of sadness in my heart that I was about to lose someone very important, and only then did I realize that in my cold heart I had a deep affection for Mr. Vitan, who for me was like a teacher, a friend, and a father, and that no one could replace him.

For more than seven years, Mr. Vitan has been by my side silently supporting and helping me, saving me when my life was at its most critical, not only guiding me into the palace of art, but also taking me into the magnificent and fantastic world of magic. It can be said that without Mr. Vitan, there would be no Alex today, and my life can only be absolutely dark, and it is impossible for me to survive to this day. Now, in the face of Mr. Vitan, whose life is constantly exhausted, my anxiety and sadness are indescribable. At this time, I didn't know that the sacrifice and effort that Mr. Vitan had put into making me a better place was far beyond my imagination.

Teacher Vitan stared at my tear-clouded eyes, smiled, and said, "Alex, you found out...... Don't worry, I'll be fine for now...... Manly tears are not shed for these things, but for the beautiful things of the world...... Don't be like this, I'm not dead, if you want to take my life, even death will have to pay. ”

I nodded, and when I saw that Vivien had gently wiped the sweat from Mr. Vitan's forehead with a handkerchief, and Mr. Vitan seemed to be much better, my uneasiness was slightly relieved, and I began to look at my surroundings.

It is a huge basin formed by the eruption of an underground volcano, full of weathered volcanic rock, covered with all kinds of strange shapes of mountains, hills, and crevices deep into the ground, some of which are covered with black moss, and in the middle of which are flaming red grass.

At this moment, a roar of anger came from the other side of the mountain.

Memphis and I looked at each other, both amazed at how far this dead and dangerous volcanic basin had already been reached.

※※※

As we walked around a block of hills and mountains, we found a group of people gathered on the other side of the valley, and it was Aaron and her Lady of the Blue Temple, the Holy Dragon Warrior! Presumably, they had gotten rid of the Nagwi coalition defense force all the way north, but they had already discovered the harbingers of the storm and avoided here. I can't believe that I will meet Aaron Thy again!

Within a semicircle of several feet in front of them, there were countless strange insects with sharp pincers, red shells, and long ridges, and these insects were constantly attacking them, and from time to time flames erupted from their small red mouths.

"That's the firefly!" Memphis said with a solemn expression.

I nodded, taking a closer look at the situation in the starting arena, but I saw that Aaron and the Saint-Lun warrior were close to the mountain behind them, and the spatial magic wall she laid down effectively blocked the fireflies out of the semicircle, but the magic wall always showed a regular retraction. As soon as the magic wall was retracted, the Holy Dragon Warrior swung his sword and rushed forward, urging his sword fighting spirit to slash the swarms of fireflies, and after a round of attacks, he quickly retreated, and the magic wall of Aarensis also reopened at this moment, blocking the path of the fireflies. This is repeated over and over again.

After a little thought, I understood the whole strategy of Aaron's strategy against the fireflies, and when they entered this basin valley, they were inexplicably attacked by the fireflies, and they were beaten by the enemy. They used the Magic Wall of Space, which was used as a shield to attack the fireflies between the walls. Of course, they also have a last resort to do so. Because although Aaron was able to use powerful spatial magic, her magic strength was far below that of Teacher Vitan, and it was impossible to use the spatial magic wall for a long time, in order to support it for a longer time and buy time for Aaron to rest and recover her magic, they adopted this method of intermittent attack.

This should also be an effective tactic for the Jialan Temple to deal with group battles, but in the current situation, this offensive and defensive method can only work temporarily, because in the face of the inexhaustible fireflies, whether it is the Aaron Shi or the Saint Lun warriors, there is always a moment when the strength is exhausted, and sooner or later it will become the lunch of the fireflies. For them, this must be a helpless struggle on the edge of despair, right? The storm outside the valley was raging, and they could not leave at this time, and they were now in a state of physical exhaustion, and even if they could support the storm until it stopped, they would probably not have the strength to leave by then.

I also understand why we are not attacked, because the fireflies are attracted to them and are flawless, but I have a faint feeling in my heart that something is wrong.

At this time, Mr. Vitan looked at me with some expectant gaze, hesitated, and said, "Alex......"

I caught the deep meaning in Mr. Vitan's gaze, and immediately understood what he meant unfinished, nodded silently, turned to Memphis and said, "Memphis, I want to help the Jialan Temple." At this time, although we can sit idly by and watch for a while, we will become a meal for fireflies after they are destroyed, and instead of being broken one by one, it is better to unite with each other and overcome the danger together. ”

And Memphis said without hesitation: "Needless to say, Alex, we all listen to you!" ”

His subordinates also immediately said: "Obey Lord Alex, unswerving!" ”

Hearing the voice of their absolute trust in Memphis, my heart couldn't help but be moved, and I knew that from now on, my will is their will, and whether my decision is right or wrong, Memphis and they will desperately follow it. Their life and death are already in my hands.

※※※

I stood in the crowd, my expression was grim, my tall body suddenly came out, and the powerful momentum was even compared to Memphis. I held the "unnamed" high in the air, and the dark sword body immediately turned into a dazzling crimson, and the flying flames swirled around the sword body at high speed, turning into a gorgeous stream, which was brilliant and brilliant, drawing everyone's eyes to me, and even Vivien's face showed a look of worship and emotion.

I shouted, "Brothers, let's fight for survival and eradicate the scourge of the desert together!" ”

After speaking, when he rushed to the firefly array first, "Weiming" showed the space in front of him, and the "Vulcan Flame Dance" was launched, and a bunch of fireflies with fire as weapons in front of him actually burned spontaneously. When these demon insects that are themselves fire attributes encounter a more powerful flame attack, the fire element in their bodies is triggered, causing a fiery * phenomenon. This is also my strategy of fighting poison with poison.

The crowd behind me sprinted at my pace, Memphis and his brother swung their swords to slay the fireflies that came up one by one, while Teacher Vitan and Vivien unleashed their protective magic to keep out the fireflies that slipped through the net. Compared to space magic, wind protection magic is weaker and the protection range is not complete, but it is more suitable for high-speed moving attacks than space magic, and it also saves energy.

Under our onslaught, the continuous fireflies finally broke through a gap and opened a way to the defense of Aaronshi. Aaronse seemed to know that someone was coming, and at the same time she scattered the magic wall.

As soon as we entered the circle of defense of Aaronshi, the magic wall opened to block the fireflies who wanted to take advantage of the attack, and the path we opened was quickly bridged by the fireflies.

"It's you?!" Aaronse said with a little surprise when she saw that it was someone who was helping.

I looked at the Aaron in front of me, her delicate face had been coated with a layer of sweat, the original deep gaze had lost its lustre, her face was full of tiredness, and the sweat-soaked clothes were close to the skin, setting off her perfect carcass more curvy and exquisite, which led to reverie.

"It is our honor to be able to do a little bit for the High Priest, and it can be regarded as a little compensation for the offense to the High Priest in the previous Blue House incident." I said lightly.

"Thank you...... But instead of helping us, you have put yourself in a desperate situation. Aaronse sighed and said, "For our sake, even those of you who are not related to us have to pay for it, why is it so painful?" How can the little woman bear it? ”

At this moment, I deeply feel the brilliance of a certain humanity in Yalenshi, a kind of love and tolerance for the common people, this may be the spirit of the Jialan Temple, right? At this moment, the negativity and helplessness in the tone of Aaron's poetry surprised me, but it also made Aaron's poetry, which has always been high and like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, have a mortal atmosphere, and the weakness and helplessness are even more pitiful.

"In this case, the good is good, and the good is good, and the good is the disadvantage of the division - on the contrary, we will become the object of the fireflies one by one, and we will save ourselves by saving you. Besides, we are not all desperate and should be able to do something. ”

I said calmly, but I noticed that the fireflies outside the defense circle were getting denser and denser, and the fireflies close to the outer circle had changed from the size of a bowl to the size of a bucket. I was shocked to wonder: Are these fireflies deliberately bringing us together and then annihilating us in one fell swoop? Have we fallen for the tricks of these inferior creatures? Otherwise, why was it that when we entered the valley, we were not attacked? Seeing those arrogant fire-breathing monsters outside the circle, I couldn't help but curse in my heart: Damn, these guys really treat us as food!

And when Aaronshi saw Teacher Vitan, her eyes flashed with hope, and she said, "You can make a move, maybe ......."

But he immediately noticed the ashen aura on Mr. Vitan's face, and it was difficult to continue the following words, so he changed his words and said: "This creature can resist most physical attacks, and the freezing magic of the water system has no effect on their attacks, and the fire attack magic can hardly cause substantial damage to them unless it can produce flames that are more domineering and hot than their own to ignite the fire element within them, or directly penetrate the sword fighting qi into the sword to attack. In this case, just like using the sword fighting spirit, we can't deal with the attack of fireflies on a large scale, and we can only protect ourselves for a while, but when we are exhausted, it is also when we are devoured by fireflies. ”

These words clearly analyze the situation between us and these demons, and also explain the disadvantages we find ourselves in, and there is also despair in Aaron's calm narration.

At this time, I noticed something else, and said to Memphis next to memphis: "Memphis, the ground temperature here seems to be higher than in the desert?" ”

Memphis was stunned, not understanding why I was asking an irrelevant question at this critical moment, but immediately replied: "This is the outlet of an underground volcano, and below it is burning magma, but it has become an extinct volcano because it has not erupted in hundreds of years." ”

I nodded, got the answer I wanted, and after a little thought, I had a plan in my heart, but another sorrow crept into my heart.

I went to Aaronshi, who was opening the wall of magic, and gathered everyone together to tell me what I had planned. Everyone was surprised and incredulous when they heard my plan, and not only did Aaronshi have an incredulous look on her face, but even Teacher Vitan said, "Alex, this is ...... Is it feasible? ”

The Sacred Dragon Warriors, on the other hand, scoffed at me with the gaze of a madman, and some even let out an ugly laugh, but the Memphis gang and Vivien showed me a look of trust after their amazement.

I didn't move, and my whole body once again exuded a powerful momentum, and I said in a confident voice: "Believe me, this is the only way for us to get out of danger at present!" The end of the road is not necessarily the end of the road, and the desperate situation can also be survived! Instead of sitting back and waiting, why not give it a try? As long as everyone follows my plan, there is a chance of success! ”

Teacher Vitan nodded, and Aaron said, "Let's give it a try...... and expressed support for my decision. Listening to Aaron's poems and expressing their opinions, the holy dragon warriors accepted it silently, although they were hesitant.

I glanced at Mr. Vitan and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Teacher...... The last part of this method is completely dependent on your help, but it depends on the teacher's current situation......"

I only heard Teacher Vitan say categorically: "Alex, just go according to your plan!" I've recovered more than 70% of my mana, don't worry about me, I'm fine. This kind of moment is not the time to care about personal safety, it is a matter of life and death for everyone! ”

"Teacher, I understand......"

I sighed faintly, and gathered all those who could use the sword fighting qi to the edge of the protective wall, and pulled it into a line.

Under my command, everyone plunged their swords into the ground, and urged the sword fighting force to penetrate the blade, gathering the strong fighting qi of more than a hundred people to cause the ground to crack, forming a huge crack, and the ground of the entire volcanic basin valley began to vibrate, and as the powerful fighting qi penetrated the ground, the rumbling loud sound also went straight to the ground from top to bottom.

After a while, another powerful sound came from underground, and a high temperature rose along the cracks in the ground, and then the hot vapor spread up, filling the surrounding space.

At this point, I shouted, "Withdraw!" "Everyone stepped back together, and the protective walls of the space narrowed. The fireflies outside seemed to realize some danger and began to panic, and the entire formation surrounding us began to disintegrate.

In a misty cloud of water vapor, boiling lava with blazing flames surged out of the crack and spread rapidly along the lower side of the fireflies, which were the first to be swallowed up by the incomparably hot rock flow!

※※※

Looking at the volcanic eruption created by my own hands, I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable excitement, in front of the huge power of the volcanic lava, everyone was shocked, and even the Holy Dragon Warrior Racher sighed: "I didn't expect it to be successful!" Stirring the wrath of nature with manpower, you kid is really whimsical! But it has to be admired! ”

I didn't have time to respond, because Aaron's spatial protection magic had been put away at this moment, and I, Mr. Vitan, Vivien, and Aaronshi immediately chanted a incantation, summoning the goddess of the wind, and with our combined efforts, a powerful storm was completed in an instant, forming a wind that diverged outward, further accelerating the flow of lava, covering a large area outward, and countless fireflies were swept into it, and were wiped out in an instant, in front of the high-temperature rock flow like the sea rushing and the flaming waves, Some of the fireflies that escaped into the crevices and nests of the rocks were also wiped out.

Then, with Master Vitan as the center, we gathered our efforts to unleash earth-based magic and chanted the incantation: "Accept our prayers, open your loving arms, redeem your pious people, heal all the wounds of the world, and remove all the sufferings of the world, and ...... the most benevolent of the earth."

With the chanting of the incantation, the earth shook again, and the surface of the ground beneath our feet moved violently, and the cracks in the lava passages opened by more than 100 of us slowly closed, gradually cutting off the rock flow, and finally the cracks were completely repaired, and the lava no longer gushed out.

Two powerful spells were cast one after another, although it was led by Mr. Vitan, and we only played a supporting role, but the energy loss of the three of us was still quite huge, Vivian's magic power and I had been exhausted, and we sat down on the ground and couldn't stand up, while Aaron Shi, although her strength was much stronger than the two of us, she had continuously used the spatial magic wall before, and now she had no strength left, so she could only barely stand, but she seemed to be going to fall down at any time.

At this moment when the three of us are exhausted, the task of dealing with the large lava left on the surface can only be undertaken by Mr. Vitan.

I saw that Mr. Vitan first intertwined his hands into a strange magic seal and then opened it, chanting the incantation of water magic in his mouth, at this time, with a huge cold current released from the space, the temperature in the air dropped rapidly, and the weather in the middle of winter suddenly descended on this volcanic basin in the desert, and the snowflakes in the sky also fell one after another, and all the water vapor produced by the lava instantly condensed, and soon, the lava also began to solidify and freeze.

When Mr. Vitan put away his magic, the once blazing valley was now a land of ice and snow, a sight that had never been seen before in the desert.

I had regained some energy after a short rest, and was able to stand up, but Vivien had fallen asleep from the loss. I left Vivien in Sasalyn's care and walked over to Teacher Vitan and Aaronshi.

At this time, I was very worried about the safety of Mr. Vitan, and after sending out three super powerful spells that could become legends in a row, it was difficult for Mr. Vitan's current physical state to support.

However, at this time, although Mr. Vitan's face was whiter than paper, and his eyes showed extreme fatigue, I felt that the magic energy in his body was weak but fluctuating regularly, and it was constantly increasing and expanding, and he was in a rapid recovery, and the fatigue on his face was slowly fading, and gradually began to be rosy, and his physical condition seemed to be fine.

Or, as Mr. Vitan said, to take his life, I am afraid that even death will have to pay the price. But the value of life is limited, and it is by no means imposing it by manpower, but it seems that Mr. Vitan in front of me is not bad, and I have temporarily let go of my worries in the future.

"It's really useless, I'm tired of using a few magic of this level, maybe I'm old or unfamiliar with magic." Teacher Vitan shook his head and smiled wryly.

I don't know what level of magic is the most powerful magic in Mr. Wei's heart, which is beyond my current level of cognition, and when I was about to ask, Aaron Shi on the other side of me suddenly collapsed.

I stretched out my hands and gently grabbed her delicate body, and half-hugged her into my arms. With a warm jade in my arms, a package of fragrances, I examined the peerless face of Aaron at the closest distance, and at the same time gently smelled the intoxicating fragrance that came from her body.

Aaronshi never seemed to be so close to a boy, and she didn't react for a while, her expression was slightly stunned, and then she remembered to leave my arms, I smiled calmly, let go of her, and did not insist on retaining the warmth of this moment.

After standing firm, Aaron seemed a little embarrassed, and she didn't know whether to thank me or blame me for my frivolity. And I used a playful look to greedily admire her gaffes and different styles.

Aaronse seemed to be a little unable to withstand my fiery gaze, and under my playful gaze, her pale face flushed slightly, revealing the shyness of her daughter's family, but she soon regained her calm and unwavering look, and this strange style that flashed by me was deeply imprinted in my mind.

The Sacred Dragon Warrior who witnessed this scene did not condemn it, but smiled - my previous performance had already gained their respect, and the normal reaction of men at this time was recognized by them as men as well, and did not consider it a blasphemy against their esteemed High Priest.

After returning to normal, Aaron Shi waved at me slightly and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the son, the little girl and the palace are very grateful, please report later." ”

I replied with a salute and said, "Don't thank me, the person you should thank is Teacher Weitan, if it weren't for his relationship with your palace, I might not have made a move." And you've thanked me in your own way. ”

My words seemed to make Aaron a little overwhelmed, so I had to pretend that I hadn't heard it, and said to Mr. Vitan: "Thank you, sir, for your kindness! ”

But Teacher Vitan didn't want to speak, just nodded, glanced at me, and I had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, High Priest, we help you and ourselves, if we don't unite the forces of the two families, we can't destroy this terrible creature." ”

Aaron Shi glanced at me with a deep gaze and said, "Childe's plan is really bold, and only Childe can think of such an unconventional approach. When they met twice, they never asked for the name of the son, and with such extraordinary martial arts and amazing wisdom, I believe that the son must be a famous person. ”

I looked back at Aaron's poetry with a dazzle, smiled and said, "Actually, it's not as great as you say, it's just that I'm usually used to it, so I thought of this weird method." My name is Alex, an ordinary prodigal kid. ”

When Aaronshi came into contact with my gaze, she became a little natural, bowed her head and pondered for a while, and then said, "I remember, we should have met in Haynes, you are the young man...... I couldn't have imagined that in just three years, Childe's achievements would be so amazing. With the talent of the childe, instead of wasting it in vain, why not do your best for the temple and do your best for the common people? ”

I laughed and said, "Your Highness the High Priest is not only a great clergyman, but also a good lobbyist, but unfortunately I am not a great talent, I am only fit to live my own life, I don't like to be bound by others—it is better to dance freely than to follow in the footsteps of the clouds." ”

In a way, he drew a line between himself and the temple, and single-handedly cut off the path to reconciliation with the temple. If the future is bound to rupture, why dwell on it now? Only by strengthening my heart to break with the temple and with Aaron's poetry can I be ruthless in my future journey to remove any obstacles that hinder my progress, and meet the duel with the "Son of Destiny" with a strong will. Of course, this kind of complicated mind of mine would not have been guessed by Aaron Shi at this moment, in her opinion, I am just a relatively good talent, but I am not enough to threaten the existence of the temple, so I moved to recruit it. But I heard Yalun Shi say: "Gongzi is a capable person, and at this time of troubled times, he should do something to end the Shenglun Continent and establish a unified and prosperous era, and seek a place for the benefit of all people, and do his part to create a career." If you think that you are withering with the grass and trees, isn't it in vain that the heavens have lost your love? And in this kind of situation, it may be difficult for the son to be alone. ”

I shook my head and said, "It is my wish to go with the flow, it is my will to be with the light and dust, and what I like is a life of spontaneity and freedom, not a life of relying on others and being called." I'm just an artist, and in my eyes it's just beauty, and all I care about is aesthetics, and that's it. Therefore, I can only live up to the kindness of His Royal Highness the High Priest. ”

"Childe is an artist?" Listening to my words, Aaron couldn't help but be a little surprised.

I didn't speak, just looked at Aaron deeply, and then I picked up "Weiming" and walked to the snow, and gently stroked a few strokes on the ice with my sword, and the graceful image of Aaron poetry jumped on the ice—jade and ice, transcendent, lifelike, like a mesmerizing picture of a lady on ice.

As the ice and snow melted, the shadow I drew on the ice flowed like a streamer, dancing like a limbo, as if it had life. In the end, the ice painting faded completely, but in the rising water vapor condensed into a suspicious and suspicious beautiful figure, slowly and gradually disappeared, like an ethereal fairy who had invested the last trace of affection in the beautiful world and then drifted away sadly.

After everyone was in the shock of this beauty, I walked up to Aaron, leaned forward, and got close to Aaron to smell each other's breath, and an inexplicable feeling rippled between the two.

I stared intently at the deep eyes of Aaronshi, showed a slouched smile, and said lightly, "This is my pursuit." ”

"You ......" Aaronshi suddenly realized that she was very close to me, and took a step back in a little panic, unable to get used to this overly intimate atmosphere for a while, and lost her words in relation to my words.

I didn't continue to press, but stood with my hands crossed, shook my head, and smiled lazily: "My High Priest, I can't imagine that you will also be exhausted in words!" Beauty, sometimes there are only brief moments, such as no matter how beautiful the flower will wither, no matter how beautiful a woman is, there is a time when she is old, red and gray. The value of beautiful existence is to be cherished by those who know how to appreciate it, otherwise, it can only be a lonely existence. The beauty of His Highness the High Priest can only live up to this life if it blooms for me. ”

"Why are you like that...... There is such a thin man in the world! After calming down, Aaron Shiyu's cheeks were red, and she said in a slightly sullen tone.

I laughed, waved my hand, and said, "If you say I'm thin, I'm just casual and natural." Although he is young and frivolous, he is a true temperament, and I show you his true temperament, but it is not necessarily a light heart. My greatest wish is to grasp the fleeting beauty, to witness the brilliance of the moment with my eyes, to create beautiful time and space with my hands, and to turn the moment into eternity. Since it has caused displeasure to His Highness the High Priest, I will say goodbye to His Highness! Hahaha...... What's the point of wandering? Heaven and earth are singing men! ”

With that, I stepped on my horse, and finally glanced at Aaronse, who saw her lips move slightly but finally said nothing.

I sighed, and rode away without hesitation, and Mr. Vitan and the people of Memphis silently followed my back. Only Aaron Shi and the saint-lun warriors were left stunned, and after a while, I heard Racher's voice sound behind me: "Boy, you are such a strange person, and you have a terrible personality, but I like Lacher!" I hope to see each other again! ”
