Even ordinary people can vaguely sense that something is happening.

After receiving the news, His Majesty the Emperor was furious and ordered the extermination of the forces of the Calamity Sect with unprecedented intensity.

One of the culprits, Kungu, is the most wanted target, but the other party has completely disappeared since the last operation, as if the world has evaporated.

—

A week later.

On the hospital bed, the badly injured Kerr is only now regaining consciousness.

The moment he regained consciousness, he did not rush to open his eyes, but immediately mobilized his spiritual power and entered the palace.

Opening his eyes, the palace came into view, and he strode in, standing in the center of the hall on the first floor.

Fox stood silently, and there was silence all around him, but finally he spoke first, "Why don't you talk?"

After half a ring, a lazy voice sounded in my ears: "Boy, what do you want to talk about?"

The other party's voice sounded from all directions, but it seemed to be right in the ear.

"What the hell is this palace and why is it inside me?Who are you??," Kerry asked unceremoniously.

Listening to the series of questions like a cannonball, the other party's tone was a little helpless: "How can I answer if you ask so many questions at once?"

Just answer them one by one. Nexus said calmly.

"I can only tell you part of it, there are some things that you know right now aren't good for you. The other party sighed.

"This palace was created by my master," the other party paused, "He is the most powerful person in the world." ”

"The most powerful, is it the Lord of Akatsuki, or the Barbarian King?"

In his opinion, these two legendary people who ascended to the throne of gods should be the most powerful people in the history of this world, no, they should be called gods.

"Huh. The other man laughed disdainfully, but instead of correcting him, he continued.

"I'm the instrument spirit of this palace, but for some reason, I don't have control over this palace, which means that I can't help you much.

The only thing I have is the inexhaustible knowledge that my master has given me, and what my purpose is······· Don't worry, I don't have any ill will towards you, all I need is for you to get stronger as soon as possible, the sooner the better. ”

Make yourself stronger?Nex frowned, he didn't fully believe the other party's words, he couldn't tell the truth of these words now, although from the current point of view, this palace did bring a lot of benefits to himself.

"Why choose me?"

"Because, you are special. The other party's voice suddenly became a little strange, with both pity and emotion: "Speaking of which, I can form a complete consciousness or rely on you." ”

Rely on me? Special? I'm just a poor boy from a civilian background, if I don't have a palace, my talent can only be said to be good at best, and I can't be considered a genius at all, so what else is special about me?

"What do you mean?"

"You'll understand later. ”

Kerx was a little annoyed, this guy asked what he looked like this, is there any difference between saying it in the future and telling me it now?

"If you're conscious, why didn't you react at all? ”

Fox snorted coldly.

"I'm always going to watch you for a while to make sure of your heart, but I didn't expect you to discover my existence so quickly. ”

"Nonsense, those things are tailor-made for me according to my situation, how can it be such a coincidence?"

"However, you are also a blessing in disguise because of this incident. ”

The other person's thinking was obviously a little jumpy, and suddenly jumped to another topic.

Fox was a little stunned, but he felt his body carefully, and his face became obviously surprised.

When he cast the Gate of Hell before, as a hub connecting the huge magical energy and the soul of the demonic beast from the outside world and the eighteen gates of hell, although it was only a transit station, but under the washing of the huge magical energy and soul power, he actually jumped directly to the second level and broke through the barrier of the third-level magician.

In other words, as long as Kox learns the third-level magic spell, he will be a third-level magician!

Jump two levels in a row!

In between, Kerry was anxious to inquire about the situation of the palace, so he didn't notice it, but now he felt it carefully under the reminder of the machine spirit, and found that his face was full of incredulity.

Judging from the speed of this upgrade alone, it is simply a bit absurd.

If this comes every once in a while, won't he immediately become the first person in the mainland?

Of course, just thinking about it, this is not possible.

Because, this situation is almost impossible to replicate, first, the conditions required to cast this magic spell are extremely harsh, first of all, it requires an unimaginably large amount of soul power.

In fact, this gate of hell does not stipulate that the soul of a monster must be used, that is, the soul of a human can also be used as a material for casting spells, of course, Fox will definitely not do this.

Unless it is this kind of large-scale war, there is no chance of obtaining enough soul power, and for those who have the strength to obtain so many souls directly through slaughter, it is impossible to escalate under this level of power.

The reason why Kerx was able to use this to upgrade two levels in a row was because he was only a first-level magician, and if his level was higher, even if he was only an intermediate magician, it would not be possible to have this effect.

Clenching his hands, he felt that he was now full of confidence from the increase in strength, and as soon as his injuries were fully recovered, he could start to learn the second and third level magic spells.

However, Kerry's injuries this time are really serious, even with the assistance of the Green Room, it will take at least more than a month to fully recover from the trauma received by the body, although the usual healing ability of the Green Room is also very strong, but it will not have the same strong effect as when he was near-dying.

But physical trauma isn't the most important thing.......

Fox touched the black and white hair on his head and sighed.

Although his appearance is still young, with his age and black and white hair, he has a special charm, but the decay of the origin of life has reduced his lifespan by nearly two-fifths!

So casting the Gates of Hell a few more times can only be thought of in his heart, and he will really die if he uses it again.

"Somebody is coming out there. ”

The machine spirit reminded suddenly.

Quex suddenly came back to his senses, thinking so preoccupied that he didn't notice the movement of the outside world.

"Then let's talk later, by the way, what's your name? I can't call you to feed me in the future. ”

There was a long silence, and at the last moment when Kers's mind withdrew from the palace, he heard the other party's answer.

"Just call me, Ariskode·········"

—

Click.

The door was opened from the outside, and Buton walked in with food in hand.

Seeing that Kerrs had woken up, a happy look appeared on his face, but he was quickly suppressed and regained his indifference.

"Awake?"

"Hmm. ”

"It's good to wake up, you know all day long that you're causing trouble, but I'm risking my life to save you. ”

"Thank you, Budon. Fox just woke up, and he really didn't know about it, and he couldn't help but be a little moved at the same time.

Indeed, as Celt said, although Briton has a strange temper, he is actually a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person.

But when he thought of Selter, his mood was a little gloomy.

"Thank you, thank you!

Buton suddenly roared in a rage, and even threw the rice in his hand to the ground.

Fox froze, not knowing where he had said the wrong thing.

The anger on Buton's face gradually dissipated, and he slowly leaned against the side of Kerth's bed, directly on the ground, with his back to Kerth.

"I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, did you have some troubles? You saved my life, how could I care about such a trivial matter. ”

"No, that's not what I'm talking about. Buton's head lowered deeply: "Actually, I had a chance to get you back before I withdrew the barrier, but I didn't. ”

Nexus didn't know how to answer.

"Look, you know what, my parents were killed by necromantic magicians. They are all good-natured people who often play with me, and the days with them are really happy. ”

Bridon looked up slightly, his face a little dazed.

"However, everyone else said they were crazy. My parents were originally from noble backgrounds, but they did not have the talent to cultivate magical energy, and they never awakened in their lives, so they were rejected and coldly spoken by the family, but they were both very talented in machinery and alchemy, and made all kinds of inventions.

With similar interests and experiences, they eventually came together, got married, and gave birth to me, and they both hoped that ordinary people would be able to have the power of a mage with their inventions, and that one day a mage would be replaced by a weapon made of machinery and alchemy, and the great chasm between mages and ordinary people would be bridged. ”

Kers' expression moved, and he remembered those strange inventions of Budon, did he make those things under the influence of his parents?

He could imagine what would happen if someone said that ordinary people could have the power of a mage with a machine in a world where mages were dominant, and that mages would eventually be replaced by cold machines.

But can such a thing really be done?

"All the people said they were crazy, all the people laughed at them, many magicians put pressure on them, and they were all expelled from their families and forced to settle in a remote and backward village.

Life is a little harder, but our family is still quite happy. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but it quickly turned to fear.

Under such difficult conditions, the parents did not give up, they saved money and used their only savings to conduct their own research, and in the end, they finally made a huge breakthrough. ”

Success?Nicks' face shook slightly, he was deeply immersed in the story of Button.

"They excitedly told me that they had taken the first and most crucial step. A look of sadness flashed across his face, and he continued: "They feel like they're going to change the world. ”

"And then?" asked Kerry, but regretted it when he asked, feeling like a fool.

"And then?" he laughed to himself, his voice lowered, "and then they were killed, by a necromantic magician, right in front of my eyes, and even their souls were taken away by the other party. ”

Budon's fists clenched, and the bruises on his surface bulged: "I hid in the cabinet and watched, looking at their bodies lying in pools of blood and their souls screaming in pain, maybe because I didn't notice it, or because of my contempt, anyway, I survived." ”

The final result of the Imperial official investigation was a random massacre by necromantic magicians, but I knew the truth, and they researched something that shouldn't exist, so they were wiped out.

To this end, they did not hesitate to use necromantic magicians, and did not hesitate to slaughter the entire village to hide their true goal. ”
