Avina covered her mouth in surprise.

That night, Eric went back to the old tree where the dove had been lying.

(It is impossible for the Terrans to send out the Grand Magister just to deal with an undercover Demon Agent, which means that the Grand Magus came to Xion Village for other reasons.) ）

"I guess it's very likely that the Terran Grand Magus arranged it. ”

The profession of magician has a very strict hierarchy, just like a chef, there are also beginner, intermediate, and advanced divisions.

It's just that the stage of a magician is divided into five stages: Magic Trainee Monk, Magician, Magic Jinshi, Magister, and Grand Magi.

Of course, the archmage is the most powerful among the magicians, and the number of archmages of the entire human race can be counted with the toes of one foot, never more than five, and by the way, little children like Tisya are in the stage of magic apprentices.

As for Eric, he claims to be a genius beyond the Three Realms and is not among the Five Elements, how can a mere great magister be compared.

Eric suddenly remembered the barrier outside the ruins of Xion Village, which must have been set up by the Archmage.

"The Grand Magus should have come here with a team of soldiers, although I don't know what the purpose is, but judging from the behavior of the village slaughter, it should be looking for something. Eric leaned against the tree, gathered his thoughts, and continued, "They were worried that the villagers had hidden their things, so they forced the villagers in the form of slaughtering the village, which shows that they must be looking for something important. ”

Eric had a flash of inspiration, followed by a fist slam, "They're here for Tisya!"

"No, could it be that the Emperor of the Terran knows that Tisya is the reincarnation of the Holy Maiden?

"Ahhh

Eric was so distressed that he put his two hands on his head and kept rubbing them, as a hand-shaking demon king's shopkeeper, such frequent brain use is not suitable for Eric's character, but it has been reasoned that this is already very good.

"Hey~ What is this?"

Eric was about to get up and leave, he was leaning against the tree, but he could vaguely feel the part of the ancient tree sinking a little.

Eric turned around, looked at the ancient tree, and reached out to touch it, and after touching it for a while, he didn't find anything abnormal, and Eric knocked on the bark, but he didn't expect a very faint echo sound to come from inside.

"There's room in there!"

"Demon Eye!"

Eric casts the Eye again.

Through the Demon Slayer, Eric could clearly see that there were some very rare wood magic particles and black particles - the ravines seeped through the bark, and these seeps out of the bark just around a large enough rectangular shape, apparently a hidden door.

Last time, it was also because of the huge wood attribute magic particles emitted from the woods and the ravines on the dove's body that obstructed the view, that Eric did not find this hidden door.

(How do you open it?)

Eric first tested it with a low-level fire-attribute magic.

"C-grade fire attribute magic, karmic fire!"

A blazing purple flame rose straight from behind Eric, and it mixed with a huge wood attribute magic particle in the atmosphere, and the wood helped the fire to ignite, and the flames instantly expanded, emitting a violent "whirring" sound.

"Go!"

The fierce purple flames rushed directly towards the hidden door, and it was like a male lion seeing its prey, letting out a roar and crashing into its prey.

"Bang!", a huge explosion caused the karmic fire to hit the hidden door vertically, this was the forest, and Eric had extinguished the sparks in all directions so as not to cause a fire.

The moss that hides the surface of the door burns violently, but it doesn't seem to have any noticeable effect.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Eric stepped forward, "Demon Emperor Armor!"

After a bang, a pitch-black magic circle wrapped around Eric's right arm and continued to spin downward and descend until it passed through the palm, and heavy armor fragments appeared on Eric's right arm floating around every inch of the magic circle passed.

"Hey!"

Eric whispered, and the right arm of those Demon Emperor armors was directly attached to Eric's arm, and suddenly with Eric as the center, an extremely large magical aura spread all around, bringing up a stream of air that blew through the entire forest.

At this time, Eric stood in the center of the forest like a demon god, and the white hair of the shawl was swaying like a god in the breeze, a bit like a scene described in ancient mythology.

Eric's right hand grasped directly above the rectangular hidden door, although there was nothing unusual there or there from the touch, but Eric immediately clasped it hard, and then pulled, he clearly felt a mysterious force blocking him.

"Open!"

The right arm of the Demon Emperor Armor emitted a burst of dark light, and Eric's arm instantly swelled a lot, and directly tore off the whole piece of rectangular bark.

"Boom!"

As the hidden door fell off, a tunnel about three meters high was revealed, and then an extremely large magical power came out from inside.

This magic can even be called one of the few magic that Eric has seen in his life.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Eric disarmed the Demon Emperor armor in his right hand, and first put his head into the tunnel to take a look, and found that it was dark inside, and he really couldn't see his five fingers.

Although the central part of the forest is not very well lit, the surrounding area is a mess and the plant growth is very uneven.

Not far from the tunnel is the spiral stone steps leading to the ground, the stone steps are very dilapidated, covered with moss, if you accidentally step on it, I guess the word meat mud will be more suitable for that person in the future.

"Mossy Light!"

Eric uses a small, medium-level light spell that causes the caster's body to emit a blue light that can be adjusted in size for a period of time.

Eric walked unhurriedly to the front of the stone steps, surrounded by a strong smell of dampness, which was probably caused by the water seeping down from the ancient tree and not being able to volatilize.

Eric looked at the bottomless spiral stone staircase in front of him, and jumped straight into the middle without thinking.

The speed of the fall was fast, and the cold wind whirring in his ears was a little cold, and it was not until a long time later that Eric saw the ground paved with bluestone.

"Oops!"

Eric wanted to land in a handsome position, but he didn't know what he stepped on and fell.
