The closer you get to the Emerald Lake, the more violent the thunderstorm becomes. The air is filled with electric charges, and every time you move, you can feel the tinp of electricity irritating your skin.

The magically powered vehicle has come to a complete standstill and cannot move on. Shuwei and Odysseus could only get out of the car and walk.

Shuwei could clearly feel the manic magic riots from both the sky and the earth, they were like two dragons trapped by ropes, churning wildly, and thousands of thunderbolts shook their bodies, and they could get out of control at any time. A dangerous aura filled the entire space, and Shuwei felt the cold hairs all over her body explode.

Shuwei and Odysseus have come to the boundary of the white mist, and the personnel sent by the student council to deal with this matter are checking the instrument and setting up the enchantment stone - the enchantment stone used in engineering is often composed of 5 to 12 pieces in a set, and they are set in different places, and the enchantment stones of ** echo and drive each other, and they can form a specific purpose enchantment within the closed range.

But Shuwei didn't think the barrier was of any use—because the barrier could only restrain the power of magic, not the power of the leylines. And there is no doubt that Mei Yi or someone else extracted the power of the huge leylines, which caused the balance of magic on the earth to be broken, which led to the current crisis.

She couldn't help but look at Odysseus, hesitating whether to tell him about it at once.

Odysseus obviously sensed something as well, and he frowned slightly, but he didn't rush to say anything.

Ptolemy had already arrived at the scene, and when he saw them coming, he stepped forward and handed Odysseus a gauntlet - the platinum sapphire gauntlet had the utmost elegance and exuded a beautiful balance magic, apparently the "gauntlet" he had mentioned earlier.

Odysseus only frowned slightly and put on his handguards, and when he made the necessary adjustments, Ptolemy reported to him, "The second lightning strike is also in the Emerald Lake. The source of the magic has been captured, just above the Emerald Lake in the white mist—there are two. We have set up an enchantment around the Emerald Lake, but this generation of leylines is very disordered, and the magic power in the enchantment is already full, and it is almost impossible to control it. ”

Odysseus only asked succinctly, "How much time do I have?" ”

"About two minutes." Ptolemy looked at the light screen - the screen was also disturbed by the electric current, and the snowflake screen was unsteady and jumping, "There may be a magic explosion, so let's contact Agamemnon first-"

"No, stand farther away." Odysseus only replied, he used the hand wearing the gauntlet to hold the long sword on his waist, and at this moment Shuwei realized that the gauntlet was not so much a ** dress, but more like the gauntlet of the holy sword - the plain saber began to change shape at the moment it was unsheathed, like an ancient relic that had been unsealed, and the elements of magic condensed on it to build a new sword body, and the texture of the circuit appeared on it. When it was finally pulled out in its entirety, it could barely be called a sword, it was round and dull and heavy, more like a key to some kind of ancient seal than a sharp blade.

Odysseus thrust the "sword" into the earth with all his might.

The loop on the "sword" pierced into the soil, like a giant tree taking root and grasping water, firmly locking the twisted and chaotic swirl of magic beneath the earth. The power of the turbulent leylines is thick and steady down. The "dragon" that rose from the earth seemed to have been drained of its muscles and bones, and without subsequent mana replenishment, it was quickly exhausted in the fierce riot and dissipated into the air.

The arc of electricity was still flowing in the white mist, the dark clouds in the air were heavy, and the thunder was rolling, but the magic factor of the turmoil between heaven and earth gradually stabilized and fell silent at a perceptible speed.

- With only one sword, he controlled the power of the violent leylines.

The officers who were checking the meter and the enchantment stone quickly reported back to him, and Ptolemy briefly read the information on the light screen, and then quickly told him, "The enchantment is stable." ”

People on all sides looked at Odysseus, and from their excited, trusting, and adoring eyes, Shuwei vaguely understood why the shape was so critical, but they were able to calmly stick to their posts and wait for Odysseus's arrival—this man must be trustworthy and dependable in any situation in their eyes.

Odysseus looked at Shuwei again, "Remember what I said to you?" Now, could you please ask him to stop immediately? ”

But Shuwei is not one of his admirers. She quickly calmed down and replied, "Yes, but didn't you say there were two people in there?" In this case, is it inappropriate for me to unilaterally ask Maye to stop? ”

"And what do you want?"

Shuwei took a deep breath and tried to straighten out her train of thought, "You know exactly who the other person is, right?" ”

She's not just talking about it. Before Odysseus suppressed the power of the leylines, there was only a bunch of chaotic speculations in Shuwei's mind. But when he activated the dress, she finally found the key clue in the chaos - Odysseus used the same power as Diarmuid.

Combined with what he said to Shuwei in the car, it is not difficult to deduce this conclusion - it is likely that he is also one of the spokesmen of the so-called "inhibition force", and an important member of the so-called "Knights Templar".

If this assumption is true, then it is likely that he was the one who advised the Emperor to send the knights of Diarmuid to protect Babylonburg.

And the arrival of the knight of Diarmuid forced Shuwei to move out of Babylon with May, after all, it was difficult for the two of them to live together peacefully. Then, it is also a logical choice for Shuwei to move into the apartment of the college.

Soon after she summoned May, Odysseus sent her an invitation to join the student council through Ptolemy. And it just so happened that after she moved into the apartment, she went into his protection.

Shuwei didn't know exactly what Odysseus wanted from her, but she was sure that what had happened today wouldn't have been just a coincidence—at least she believed that Maye couldn't have gotten angry for no reason, that he had his own reasons.

Another flash of lightning poured down from the heart of the sky, and a great thunderclap stirred the earth and everyone's eardrums. The weight of the magic power fell from the sky, and the angry majesty contained in the magic power directly caused even the weak-willed people to kneel directly to the ground.

Odysseus's "sword" had been used to control the power of the leylines, and he couldn't spare his hand to deal with the coercion from the sky, so he couldn't help but look at Shuwei.

Shuwei's face was pale, and it was obvious that she was under great pressure, but she could still stand after all—the pressure came from outside, and it did not touch the weakness in her heart.

There was no doubt that she was aware that the situation was extremely critical and likely to deteriorate further.

And at this time, there was a mournful sound in the white mist.

Shuwei and Odysseus heard it at the same time, and Shuwei's heart was obviously violently shaken by the accident.

"Someone in the enchantment?" Odysseus immediately asked.

Ptolemy was also surprised, but immediately replied, "...... We only did a general evacuation and could not guarantee that there was no one inside. ”

-- In such a critical situation, and in a vast and sparsely populated area, it is impossible to evacuate all of them. However, the Emerald Lake is known for its seclusion, and most of the students come for relaxation and meditation, so it is naturally more difficult for search and rescue personnel to find it.

Odysseus looked at Shuwei again, his face filled with suppressed anger, "I don't know who the other person is - you can use this as an excuse to escape your share of responsibility, but your actions will not be justified by this. ”

Shuwei didn't answer, she only took a deep breath and turned to walk into the enchantment.

When Ptolemy wanted to follow up, Odysseus stopped him, "It would be better for her to go alone." ”

Ptolemy hesitated for a moment, until he was sure that Shuwei had entered the barrier and could no longer hear their conversation, before he said, "There's no one in there—at least we didn't detect the human reaction." "It's really unrealistic to search by man, but there are people in the student council who can detect magic, and if there is a human life reaction in it, they will find out.

Odysseus looked at the white mist that was close at hand, and whispered, "I know ......"

-- The lakeside hut in Emerald Lake was once a haunted house, and a club held a test of courage here every midsummer, and many of the props inside made screams. When he heard the scream, Odysseus had already judged the truth to be false.

"So ......"

"It's just a game." Odysseus lowered his eyes and replied expressionlessly.

Ptolemy pursed his lips in disbelief - it had indeed become a game since Shuwei retorted that "it was two people who were fighting, why should only May be stopped". Shuwei should be trying to use the excuse that she can't pull the shelf, and use the bargaining chip of "only she can prevent this disaster" to force Odysseus to reveal some secrets. She was betting that in the face of the current crisis, she or Odysseus would not be able to stand up first - since she had been admitted to the school from the beginning with the guilt she could bear, it was only natural that she would face the situation of losing at the beginning of the game.

This girl is still too innocent and kind.

Ptolemy couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The demon king who made a contract with Shuwei was obviously not bound by the rules, and he extracted the power of the leylines like a finger, and under the suppression of the heavy sealing demon enchantment and suppression power, he was still as unrestrained as a swimming dragon. Such a demon king is willing to be constrained by her alone. If she could harness this power, no one would be more than an ant under her violence. Who can play with her? It's a pity that she has the power to destroy the world in her hands, but she doesn't have a wise and powerful heart to match, and her weaknesses are controlled by others. It's so outrageous.

He looked at Odysseus again, and a thought popped into his head - if it was Odysseus who controlled this power......

But then he silently vetoed - if he were the devil, he would not have put his control in the hands of someone like Odysseus. They are all people who are destined to stand at the top, and it is impossible to form a contract unless the will of one of them is obliterated.

And the reason why Agareth chose him must be similar - although he is not as innocent as Shuwei, and he will not be played lightly, but there is one thing that they are surprisingly similar - neither of them has the will to control others.

Ptolemy suddenly remembered his doubts...... He had wondered why the rank demon kings had such great power, but the people who had successfully summoned them had never used their power to do a "great thing"; Why does the Wizard Association have the top scholars and almost unlimited resources, and have made it their mission to collect rank demon kings all their lives, but they have not succeeded in summoning a ...... At this moment, he thought of the simplest but most convincing answer.

Shuwei stood in the white mist, and in addition to the vast expanse of vision, there was only the roaring lightning intertwined in the air.

She could vaguely sense May's affection, the first time since they met that she felt - this time she might not be able to stop him.

However, as Odysseus said, it was her responsibility to keep Maye in control of her power. No matter how beautiful the excuse is, her inaction is to evade responsibility.

Shuwei took a deep breath, tried to calm her mood, and walked towards the depths of the white mist. (.)
