Chapter 161: Crossing the Line
"Oh, I can't believe that you have already fought with the archmage. I don't know how it feels?"
"Haha, those archmages are all people who stand at the top of the world in the eyes of the Euros, and they all seem unattainable, but in my opinion, I am nothing. Hundreds of people in the Grand Muse Theater over there have seen with their own eyes how I punched the Archmage of Inclere to the ground. Caused countless Euro ghost beasts to be shocked and countless girls screamed, looking like they were about to rush up and make promises, but unfortunately Brother Feng, you were not there at the time, so you didn't have the opportunity to see such a grand occasion...... Hey, why do you look at me with such a strange expression? Is it because you hear that I am too popular with women and jealous? It's a pity that I am as determined as steel, and regard all beauty as dung, even if you are a hundred times more beautiful, you will not have the slightest chance, hahahaha......"
β......β
"Brother Invincible is still so fond of joking, don't be surprised by Lady Motri, he was like this before, you have forgotten...... Speaking of which, Brother Invincible has seen the arcane skills of Archmage Incre, but what is so unique about it?"
"Hmph, the tricks played by this arcane are indeed a bit peculiar. That guy actually transformed into a two-headed trolls with the help of arcane, and I heard that it is still a monster with the blood of the lower realm, and it is very strong. It's not an arcane sleeve in the shape of a monster, but it's really a monster in essence, and the breath, flesh and blood, mental abilities, etc. are completely average, plus the ability to use necromantic arcane to heal injuries, it's quite tricky for a while...... It's a pity that he didn't understand what the man was really powerful at all, and he was completely shattered by the arcane with one blow with all my condensed fist intent, and if he hadn't run fast, he would have been killed by a punch. β
"Oh...... And this kind of arcane art, it's really a long time to see...... If you have the chance, you must communicate with the mages of Inclave. The last time we met, Archmage Incre from Minsk, was so old and decisive that I couldn't keep him by all means......"
"Don't talk about these Euros, it's all a ruin. Let's talk about the dwarven lair in the mountains in the north with Liu Daochang in detail. I can't imagine that you can slaughter an old dragon there, such a legendary story that has been passed down through the ages, I can't actually experience it, it's a great pity...... It turns out that the golden stone is possessed by the evil spirit of the lower realm, but the accusation has fallen on my head, and I must find an opportunity to ask the Sun Temple and the Guardian Hand for an explanation in the future...... Hey, woman, where the hell is your home? Have you found it, and how long will it take to get there?"
β...... Soon, it should be around here, and I can already vaguely remember the way here...... By the way, it's not far ahead, and it's a little bit more than that. β
There was no longer a force field giant hand flying in the sky, because the female mage said that she didn't recognize the road in the sky, and only when she saw the scenery on the side of the road could she slowly remember how to go, so the group of three was slowly walking in the outer city. While walking, the Sword of Benevolence and Feng Yinqiu talked about the things in the past few days of separation, and they didn't feel bored.
The mage's home is on the edge of the inner city, near the border with the outer city. This is the middle and lower class of the Oroyosta settlement, much better than the messy houses in the outer city, with paved roads and small wooden buildings with small lawns are the common residential buildings here. However, the road section is different, and there are still some places that are lively and some places that are deserted.
β...... This is it. The mage stopped in front of a small building.
"Are you sure it's here?" the Sword of Benevolence looked left and right. "It's really deserted around your house, maybe the neighbors around you have been driven away by this woman. β
β... I don't remember exactly, it seems like it used to be..."The mage shrugged her shoulders and pushed open the door outside the wooden building.
Immediately two golems taller than ordinary people moved over the lawn, but after a pause in front of the female mage, they immediately stepped back to the sides again, and at the same time made a voice that seemed to be a copy of the low-ring illusion: "Welcome home, mistress." β
"Huh, this is ......" Feng Yinqiu had seen such a golem for the first time, it didn't seem to be used for fighting, but more like it was used at home.
"Haha, this thing is said to be a simple golem that has been popular from Inclave in the past two years. The real aristocratic families disdain to use this thing, and it is all for some poor ghost mages who have no housekeepers. There's no such thing on the West Coast. The Sword of Benevolence explained that he had seen something similar during his time in Oroyosta, and he did not forget to turn his head and taunt the female mage. "With this thing, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by those students in the academy?"
"I live alone and rarely come home, which seems odd but much more convenient than hiring a housekeeper. The mage walked in and opened the door, and said to the two of them, "Since they are both here, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?" I'll probably have to look for a pass. β
The furnishings in the small wooden building do indeed look like the dwelling of a typical solitary arcanist, and the simple furniture is covered with various arcane testing equipment and materials. The mage went to the kitchen and fiddled with it for a while, then brought out two cups of steaming black tea, handed them to the two of them, and then turned and went upstairs again.
After a while, the female mage came down again, looking at Feng Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence standing in place, as well as the black tea in their hands that had not been touched at all, with a strange expression on her face, and asked, "Why don't you drink it?"
Feng Yinqiu just shook his head and smiled, just about to say something, but the Sword of Benevolence raised his hand, and the teacup in his hand slowly flew towards the female mage along with the tea: "Why don't you drink it for us first?"
The female mage reached out and took the flying cup, held it in her hand and looked at it quietly, the black tea that was still warm in it was still steaming slightly, exuding a faint fragrance. She didn't speak, just stared at the crimson liquid, which seemed to hold the secrets of the whole world.
Feng Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence didn't speak, both of them had smiles on their faces, one was if there was nothing, and the other was obvious ridicule. Since entering the wooden house, the two of them have not moved their positions, neither looking for a place to sit, nor expressing any curiosity about the various utensils and materials placed around them, but just standing there like that.
After a while, the female mage finally raised her head, let out a long breath, and asked, "Why?" Although I had some premonitions, I still didn't believe that this would be the result...... Where the hell do you see the flaws?"
Feng Yinqiu tilted his head, but still smiled and didn't speak, and the Sword of Benevolence laughed and said: "You don't need to look at it at all, a blind person can know that you are a flaw at all." β
"What do you mean?" the female mage let go, and the teacup in her hand slowly flew to the table next to her. However, unlike the hand of the Sword of Benevolence, this is simply a very delicately controlled low-ring arcane 'mage's hand'. "Is there anything wrong with my existence?"
"Hmph, there are so many unreasonable places. The Sword of Benevolence snorted heavily. "It's just to explore the muddy swamp, you can pick up a big beauty, and you can just meet a group of mercenaries who are not as good as beasts to commit violence, not only the carcass of Bai Huahua can please take a look at it, but also let us heroes save the beauty. Then the mercenaries were all wiped out at once, and this beautiful woman was temporarily cornered and had no choice but to walk with us, and by the way, it was only natural that she would have some indescribable entanglements and feelings with one or several of them...... Please, where did you find the unruly script written by the sullen bard? You can't see any flaws in it, you're insulting our intellect and aesthetics!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" the female mage looked stunned.
"What kind of innocence is there at this time?" the Sword of Benevolence looked even more disdainful. "I have long suspected you before, what kind of plot is there an amnesia in this reunion, Brother Feng gave me a look just now, and I knew that there must be some conspiracy on this trip. β
The female mage's eyes moved to fall on Feng Yinqiu's body, and Feng Yinqiu glanced at the Sword of Benevolence with a wry smile, shook her head and sighed, "Actually, you don't have to expose it so quickly, Brother Invincible, I specially brought Ms. Motri over to see what kind of plot she has behind her." By the way, it would be nice to be able to trick some more arcane scrolls out of her channel......"
β... Is that so?" said the female mage's expression was even more strange. "Did you suspect it for a long time? not because of ...... after amnesia."
Feng Yinqiu said lightly: "There are indeed flaws after amnesia. Mr. Liu reminded me that you seem to have a very strange arcane attached to your body, which can make him feel clearly, and I think it is at least above the eight rings. I don't know if it's control or sequencing or something, but it made me wary. Later, when I was talking to you, I took your pulse, and I found that it didn't match the emotions you were talking to at all......"
"I see," the female mage breathed a sigh of relief. "Unexpectedly, these most basic links are not done well, and it is the woman herself who has problems...... It's rare that I've asked someone to prepare so carefully, even the house has been arranged, and there is also the identification of the golem......"
"What do you mean?" Now it was Feng Yinqiu's turn and the Sword of Benevolence to be stunned. "This woman?"
"Brother Wind. A terrifying possibility occurred to me. So I'm going to ask you first......" After being stunned, the Sword of Benevolence suddenly made a very strange expression, turned to Feng Yinqiu and said. "After this woman lost her memory, did she show any special enthusiasm for you......? Seeing that you were born so close to each other, you shouldn't have had anything to do with her, right......?
"Of course not. Feng Yinqiu hurriedly shook his head.
"That's good. I'm relieved for you. The Sword of Benevolence slapped his chest, making a fluffy muffled sound, and really exhaled. "Do you remember what I just said, the arcanist has an arcane ability that can completely replace himself with another creature without seeing anything strange at all? Maybe Liu Daochang's realm can detect some subtlely, but I can't detect it at all anyway. β
"You mean ......"
"Yes, this woman is not the same woman she used to be. Maybe hidden under that woman's face is a middle-aged fat man who is obsessed with fat and greasy and is used to eating his own boogers, or it may be a stinky old man who has been vicious and cold for decades and has not taken a bath for decades, and his whole body emits a sour smell. If they've come to get close to you and lure you in for reasons like paralyzing you, assassinating you, or something like thatβit's entirely possible, the female spies who sneak in usually use this trick to make a physical bomb, and you can't hold it anymore and really have a relationship with him...... I don't think that when the truth is revealed to you afterwards, the lethality will definitely not be inferior to a nine-ring arcane. Fortunately, you have a firm heart and have not come to this point, which is really gratifying. β
"Invincible brother, your idea is really weird......" Feng Yinqiu's expression looked even more strange. "Although there is some truth to it..."
The female mage on the side also had a strange face: "You are really the weirdest, most powerful, and most disgusting Westerner I have ever met." You have completely refreshed my perception of Westerners. β
"That's because you're too narrow-minded. β
"Now that you know that I have a problem, then you dare to follow me here?" the female mage's eyes turned cold, especially when she looked at Feng Yinqiu.
"Originally, it was just Miss Motri's words, I didn't really care, I just wanted to see what else she had, and by the way, if I could coax some arcane scrolls from Miss Motri to ......" Feng Yinqiu's eyes and voice gradually turned cold. "Since you're not, that's okay, just show us what you've prepared. β
"Yes. Show your disgusting true colors. The sword of benevolence grinned. "We're going to be merciful and try to save your life because we have a lot of questions for you, including what it's like to be a woman. β
"I don't know if you are dead or alive, you have no idea what the effect will be when two archmages join forces to design a trap. β
As she said this, the female mage's hands were folded in the middle.
With this movement of hers, everything around her was stretched infinitely. The black tea on the table, the slight heat rising from the black tea, the table below, the floor, the surrounding furniture, and the messy arcane instruments, along with the entire wooden house, seemed to sink into an extremely distorted plane, stretching to the limit of the unknown distance.
Only the three of them standing in the center were not affected, or this kind of mutation was only centered on the three of them at all, and it only acted on everything around them.
In a very short time, everything that stretches infinitely becomes an infinite number of elongated and indistinguishable straight lines, which quickly fade, or become indistinguishable from each other, and at the same time become brighter and brighter.
Boom boom
It was as if the entire universe was roaring and roaring with a loud roar.
At the same time, in the Arcane Academy of Oroyusta, the head of the academy, who was looking at a scroll in his hand, suddenly frowned and looked in one direction. It was just a bookshelf full of books, and it was clearly not this thing that attracted the chairman's attention.
"Professor Snell, please take a look at the place where the spatial concussion just happened. The chairman put down the scroll in his hand and said to the empty air.
However, after three or four seconds, a picture of the construction of the illusionary arcane was born in front of the chairman, showing a cold street scene on the edge of the city, except for a clearing that seemed to be a little abrupt.
But these scenes fell into the eyes of the chairman, and of course he could distinguish what was not normal in it, and he could see the clearing almost at a glance, and then he could tell what had just happened.
"A vacant house on the edge of Lot D in the Southwest Sector has been pulled into the Netherlands entirely. It is not yet possible to tell whether it is the outer or the lower realm. Need to track down the condition of this house during this time?"
The chairman of the board of directors did not answer the inquiry that came from the air, he frowned, and stared straight at the still picture, as if thinking about something.
Arcane Academy is not just an academy. In fact, the entire Oroyosta was gradually rebuilt with the Arcane Academy as the center, and it has the most sophisticated and complex arcane power on the entire continent, and of course it also bears the surveillance of Oroyosta, as well as a considerable part of the maintenance and governance functions. The Chair of the Academy cannot substitute for the Archons and Sheriffs to give any orders, but it is the Chair's power to provide them with timely information on the detection of the Arcane Sequence, as well as all kinds of appropriate advice and support.
β... Forget it, no need. If no one comes to apply for an inspection, there is no need to report it to the town hall. After a while, the chairman shook his head. Even with such a few and fleeting clues, he can judge a lot with his wealth of knowledge and experience. "It must have been the two Inclave guys who did it. Since they knew that they were restrained, and that dragging the battlefield elsewhere did not endanger the others, then let them go. Of course, Inclave's affairs will be solved by Inclere himself. β
