Crescent Bay.

For nearly a month, Master Rice and all the elders of the Arcane Order had been much more depressed than before.

For reasons that cannot be spoken, it is obvious to those who have known them that their actions are clearly distancing themselves from the outside world, that they have a certain smell of alienation, and that they often lose their whereabouts, or are alone in intense thinking.

However, in the past month, the imperial capital has been in the midst of great political turmoil.

Affected by this, both the upper class and the common class are more cautious, and even the crime rate in the slums is much lower than usual, although the mage claims to be out of the world, but after all, there is an inextricable relationship with the world, so the abnormality of Master Rice and others, when everyone is more or less abnormal, seems normal.

Only Master Rice and others know:

Once an undercurrent that was about to erupt like a volcano and would cause great turmoil in Merlin, it was contained by them under the impact of Lin An's perfect promotion.

But they have already taken this step, and the relationship with the Merlin royal family can no longer go back to the past-

The Emperor did fulfill the request he had promised Rice that night.

Rice and the others submitted ten places, so that they had the opportunity to cultivate the Pentagram Secret Method (a reduced version of the Pentagram before), but this also meant that the core strength of their secret society had basically changed from dark to light.

Not only is there a lot of eyeliner near the Secret Method's station, but the atmosphere inside the Secret Magic Group is also extremely strange.

Several elders of the Secret Law Group promoted a few mages who were obviously royal factions to the top positions and controlled the key positions of the Secret Law Group, although those mages still maintained the order of the secret law group as usual, but there were smart people everywhere, and it was not difficult for someone to find out about the delegation of power of the Elder Group.

Since the royal family and the elders were more restrained and did not intend to expose their suspicions between them, although the replacement of personnel caused some contradictions, it did not have a greater impact.

For Master Rice and the others, there is one thing that is far more important than the factional struggle within the Arcane Order.

If the archmage wants to avoid the eyes of surveillance, except for the powerhouses of the same level, it is not too difficult, especially when there is an elder group inside the secret magic group to help them infiltrate.

Two strange archmages, including an astrologer, quietly entered the Tower of Amber without attracting any attention from the royal family.

“…… Quiet. Lynn had been out of everyone's sight for ten days. ”

"My eyeliner told me that the last time she appeared in their sight was ten days ago."

Master Rice faced the seven masters, and a pure black robe without stars and moons stood out among the eight.

The one who went to the other extreme with Master Rice was the "astrologer".

The "astrologer" refused to reveal his real name, and no one forced it in view of the taboos and taboos that distinguish the prophecy from other factions.

Even the "astrologer", dressed in a purple robe adorned with yellow stars, tied his unkempt hair into two braids like soft sticks, and wore a purple hat that resembled a lady's narrow-brimmed soft hat, looked like a god or soothsayer in the narrow alleys of the street.

The "astrologer" is very nervous in appearance.

Thin, rickety, like a sick old man, the most prominent thing is his eyes:

The whites of the eyes are mixed with yellow, and the kernels of the eyes are far less than the whites of the eyes, like two restless false beads, moving up and down at the person all the time, as if they want to get under each other's clothes.

Although this sticky and disgusting gaze was not particularly outstanding compared to the various strange people that the mages had seen, the strong smell of spices on the "astrologer's", and the strange smell of garlic and fart that the spices could not cover, made Master Kodiak, who was the "first monster" of the Royal Esoteric Order, avoid him far away.

"The Astrologer" and another Herbie, who holds a long wooden staff and looks like a wandering mage. Master Salak has been here for three days.

When Master Rice and the others gathered together to discuss, the latter often remained silent, and the "astrologer" did not express his opinion, although he kept muttering something that only he could understand.

After listening to Master Rice's words, the elders of the Secret Law Order became solemn.

"Could it be a retreat?" Master Robinho said.

According to the convention, after the new promotion of the Grand Master, he often goes on a longer retreat, and all the masters are from the past, and of course they are more aware of the taboos and routines of each stage.

"It's unlikely." Master Van Gogh Master Dao.

"That's right, if she's going to retreat, why not just retreat continuously?"

Master Larry also said:

"Even though she couldn't stay in retreat for a long time because of the Amber Tower—which, to be honest, was unlikely, after she chose to be promoted here—she made appearances for several days in a row after leaving Crescent Bay, and the occasions she appeared on occasions that were clearly politically significant."

Due to the previous clues, Master Rice and others have reached a consensus:

Lin An's return this time will inevitably mean some kind of huge turmoil, which is likely to affect the entire continent.

Only by reaching this level of influence will the five legends of the world gather and meet like never before, and make the emperor urgently begin to make various arrangements in secret, cooperate with Lin An, and give up his old suspicions.

They will let Master Rice choose to make trouble at such a time, and they will not smell the clues, and they will be driven by the winter motive of gaining benefits for themselves and taking the lead.

“…… It is true that we have made our attitude clear, but she has not responded explicitly. ”

Master Rice said, "According to my opinion of Ann. Lynn knew that she would not suddenly go into a long retreat under such circumstances. ”

If the retreat is too short, it is completely unnecessary for Lin An.

"I think—"

Before Master Robinho's words had even begun, the "astrologer" suddenly spasmed.

"Uhh - I saw it, I saw it!! ――”

The state of the "astrologer" at this time is like a seizure, the thin and short body is like a full bow, and the big tendons under the skin are stretched and tight, which makes people worry about whether they will be pulled off.

If the masters had felt indescribable fluctuations in mental power, as well as visible magical ripples in the air, and the "astrologer" had not fallen to the ground, perhaps they would have thought that he was ill.

“…… Stars, stars! Stars rising from the ground! …… I saw it, ahhh ……”

“…… It's so dazzling, it's so dazzling! Stars, so many stars! I can't count! …… I can't see clearly! ……”

The blue tendons under the thin skin were tense, and the "astrologer" left a bloody liquid in his eyes, and his expression was painful, almost screaming in a voice like tearing his vocal cords:

“…… Scarlet! Scarlet! A lot of blood...... The source of the blood, from there! ……”

“…… Wrong! Wrong! It's all wrong! …… Why, why!! …… Ahh!!!hhhhh No! ――”

The extremely taut string was finally torn off, and the "astrologer" fell to the ground.

……

“…… It's the last minute! ”

When there was a huge tidal wave in the direction where the pentagram was located, spreading to the other side of the ruins, Lin An knew that after seven days of promotion, the pentagram had reached its final moment.

This was faster than Lin An and the guards had expected.

The deadline for Lin An to tell the emperor is not the truth, but the promotion period of a normal legend.

The promotion of the pentagram is different from the normal promotion legend.

The use of secret methods to promote determines that this is a forced promotion that takes shortcuts, not only requires the help of external forces, but also has a lot of flaws after promotion, and the realm stops at the legend, and it is impossible to go further.

Because in the most critical step, the Pentagram Mystic Method uses a method that is similar to "deception", so that the forces of the five people can unite and obtain the recognition of the law, thus generating their own law domain.

Since it is obtained by "deception", it will naturally be pursued afterwards.

Although the origin of the law does not have spiritual intelligence, it is more difficult to deceive than any kind of spiritual intelligence, and once you become a "creditor", the way of collecting debts is more domineering than that of any creditor.

The Wardens were promoted to legends with the pentagram secret method in the first place, and the price they paid was extremely huge.

Regarding all this, Pentagram already knew about it at the beginning of his cultivation of the secret method, and Lin An also made a detailed warning, but Pentagram still did not hesitate:

The promotion of the legend is so slim, Lin An, who has not gone through hundreds of years of long cultivation, has no way to understand it, even if it is a defective version of the legend, after all, it is one level higher than the archmage, if there is no pentagram secret method, they will not even get the opportunity.

Lin An quickly ran towards a tall bell tower more than 20 zhang away from the square.

She didn't dare to use the flying technique, otherwise she would most likely be disturbed by strong elemental fluctuations and fall from the sky.

And in the past few days, in order not to interfere with the advancement of the pentagram, she has been looking at the direction of the pentagram in the high-rise buildings hundreds of zhang away from the square.

The huge five-pointed star circle is located in the middle of the square, with a radius of about twenty zhang, and the entire circle area is about the size of a football field, occupying one-fifth of the entire square.

Natalie is in the right position, Gucci and Victor are in the left and right star positions, and Samaranch and Enhleko are in the alien star positions, each adjacent star is nearly 100 feet apart, and the star positions emit red, blue, yellow, blue, and white auraes that represent their major elements.

The five of them floated in the air, their faces flushed and drenched in sweat, looking like they had experienced many bed games.

But if someone approached, they would find that they were all actually clear-eyed, staring straight at the spiritual power that was blended in the middle of the circle.

Lin An had already reached the bell tower and rushed to the window, and the surging spiritual power fluctuations almost lifted her head!

Although he couldn't see the specific situation of the five people who were overwhelmed by the aura of the magic circle, Lin An had already discovered that the five spiritual powers in the middle of the five-pointed star magic circle had been fused!

Lin An's heart that he had been carrying suddenly relaxed!

-- Mental power induction has been successful!
