CHAPTER XXIV
"You... How are you..."Stephanie looked at Mu Qinyi in shock and anger, looking at the forbidden demon shackles that had not been removed from her hands, and at Pinks, whose life and death were unknown like dried corpses on the ground.
And before she could calm down, she noticed that the barrier of the rainbow light orb around her began to change. The colors flickered and darkened, sometimes dazzlingly intense, sometimes almost completely transparent, and the originally round spherical barrier suddenly elongated, and suddenly shook like water waves. Although this eight-ring spell has been completed in its form, the authority to maintain and control it is on the initiator Pinks, who fell to the ground and his life and death are unknown, which immediately made this rainbow light magic ball begin to vibrate and be unstable.
Liu Xuanying's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he opened them, the essence light in his heart flashed, and he pointed like a sword, and stretched out his hand to point towards the outer layer of the ever-changing rainbow light magic ball.
It was daytime, but suddenly there was a glimmer of starlight in the sky. Gawain seemed to sense something and looked up, while the other swordsman guards present also had an illusion, as if they were in an infinite galaxy, and everything disappeared, only the starry galaxy in the sky rotated repeatedly, interpreting the truth between heaven and earth and the universe.
It's just a momentary illusion. Gao Wen didn't see anything, lowered his head again, and the swordsmen and guards around him also woke up from a slight trance, just in time to see Liu Xuanying's finger pointing on the rainbow magic ball. With a soft pop, the mysterious seven-colored light film that could not be damaged even by the Earth Elemental Elder's tremendous power burst like a soap bubble.
Then the stunned little female mage Stephanie, the corpse-like Pinks, and Mu Qinyi, who had just woken up, were re-exposed to the crowd's onlookers.
Mu Daoyou was frightened. Liu Xuanying stepped forward and reached out and gently pinched it, and the shackles on Mu Qinyi's hands and feet were deformed like soft mud, and they were easily taken out.
"Thank you Daoist Liu, otherwise you might have been captured as a prisoner by these Euro thieves. Mu Qinyi glanced at Stephanie, who was at a loss next to her, and walked away a few steps. The Euro mage still maintained a stunned and stunned expression, and had no intention of stopping it.
"There's something interesting about these shackles. It seems that it can isolate the mind and block the operation of the five elements. Feng Yinqiu casually picked up the shackles that were torn off by Liu Xuanying, and looked at the lines on it and the inlaid crystals, but unfortunately the whole has been deformed, and some crystals have also fallen off and shattered, otherwise it can be used on this Euro mage. He looked at the female mage who seemed to be too surprised and a little dazed, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of her, and asked with a smile: "So, what is this young mage who is called Fenshi, now we can have a good chat, right?"
Stephanie's terrified eyes finally focused on Feng Yinqiu, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak. She hadn't fully recovered from her surprise and fear.
Although it was temporarily out of control due to the coma of the core controller, the eight-ring spell of the rainbow light ball did not fail, and the chaotic law distorted by the magic net still permeated the surroundings. If you want to eliminate such a rainbow-type spell that has been strengthened to the extreme, even those seven-ring elimination spells that forcibly appease the law are not so easy to do. But it was just poked by the Westerner lightly, not even a trace was left, and the vibration of the magic net was completely calmed down, and the energy wave of the law fluctuation was not generated, as if what was just cast was really an illusion.
Finally, the biggest dependence was silently punctured, and Stephanie felt as if she had fallen into the wolves unarmed and naked, and an inexplicable horror came up from the bottom of her heart, almost suffocating her.
The portal sign has been set up, right underfoot, ready to be activated. However, unlike the flash technique, which uses the warp of the space itself to move in a short distance, long-range teleportation is a process that distorts space for more than ten seconds, and is easily interrupted by external interference, and the counterattack of teleportation failure is always the most terrifying of all arcane counterattacks.
"I ask for the protection of the local mage council. Reluctantly reining herself, Stephanie didn't look at Liu Xuanying or Feng Yinqiu, but turned around, gritted her teeth, and looked at Sheriff Torres syllable-by-syllable. "In order to guarantee the dignity of the nobility of the empire, I cannot fall into the hands of these Western barbarians. As for the losses we have caused to the local area, we can slowly negotiate with the local council and make corresponding compensation. In short, this can only be a contradiction between us mages, and you must now protect us from the persecution of these Westerners and clergy. ”
"Ahh This is your right. Sheriff Torres thumped in the chest. Immediately, he looked at Stephanie and Pinks on the ground again with very strange eyes, and the tone of his answer was also indescribable. "Your Excellency of the Local Council will be more than happy to accept the application for asylum by the two Excellencies of the Alpha Renaissance... Ah, maybe a... Ey, Lord Gawain, could you please see if that Excellency is still alive, and if so, can you please treat him, after all, this is a Venerable Mage......
"Oh......" Feng Yinqiu glanced at the female mage of Euro with some surprise, but he didn't expect the other party to have such a choice. Although this arcane empire exists in name only, it is still on the shelf, and the status of the mage is like the scholars of the former Confucian sect above Shenzhou, even if something really happens, logically speaking, it cannot be disposed of at will by a group of Jianghu sects, not to mention that these people can only be regarded as overseas barbarians. Knowing this, he should have gone straight up to restrain her, lest she open this mouth, and the Torres Sheriff was not interested in taking the initiative to do more things.
But even so, the main purpose of this line of work is half of it, and as for the information he wants, it is not a confidential matter, and it is the same to force the female mage through the people of the Rothschild family. Seeing that this female mage and her companions would rather spend that absolutely valuable Colorful Barrier Scroll until they were cornered, the local mage council would never be very polite to people like them.
"This... Please rest assured, Miss Mage, we are all from a civilized country that practices etiquette and pays attention to manners, and we will not directly set traps and plot to arrest people and torture people like some barbarians. Feng Yinqiu spread his hands and said to the female mage with a smile. "If you find it inconvenient to be here right now, I'll get permission from the Mage Council to talk to you. I've talked to them before, and if I can help them catch a bunch of big pests hiding in this city of Osstar, I'm sure they'll agree to my little request. ”
The female mage's ugly face was directly expressed through the steel skin, in fact, if it were not for the fear of some inhuman insult and abuse at the hands of these Western barbarians, she would rather die than seek the protection of the local mage. This kind of behavior is unique in the history of the Alpha Renaissance, and it is a great shame, and I don't know how much ridicule it will be given to my fellow Renaissance when it is known.
But out of those lofty ideals that she still needs to practice step by step, as well as scruples about those Westerners, she has to choose this way. Because of the mission before, she also had contact with those Westerners in the port for a period of time, those Westerners ate the genitals and **** of various animals, ate all kinds of dirty internal organs in different ways, and even saw a large number of Westerners happily eating the placenta of newborns. Although she had dissected many species of flora and fauna, it was a noble study, and it was fundamentally different from this kind of barbarism that was purely for the sake of appetite and even curiosity. What kind of abuse would be suffered in the hands of such a savage race comparable to ogres is a question that even a mage does not want to imagine.
Well, such an indescribable shame can only be used later...... Stephanie, who was thinking hard about the means of revenge in the future, suddenly noticed that the spatial Dao Landmark magic circle she had arranged on the ground began to emit bursts of blue light, and then burst into flames, and a pillar of blue light shot straight into the sky from under her feet.
"How... What's going on?" exclaimed. Of course, she knew that this was the beginning of the cross-border teleportation, but she didn't do it. There was nothing wrong with her brain, in such a situation of being surrounded by people, it was absolutely impossible to complete this teleportation that lasted for more than ten seconds, as long as these people destroyed the connected Dao sign a little, they could directly turn this nine-ring spell that consumed huge resources into a ridiculous and pathetic spell farce. The specimens that had embedded themselves in rocks, trees, and even become one with livestock such as pigs, cows, sheep, and dogs because of teleportation errors had seen too much in the space department classrooms of the University of Magic.
Just as she was worried, seeing this sudden change, Gao Wen and Liu Xuanying were all on guard, while Feng Yinqiu, who was closest to her, looked directly at the Dao Biao Array on the ground, her eyes lit up, and she directly bent down and stretched out her hand to touch it.
"Don't!" Stephanie screamed uncontrollably for the first time.
But at this moment, an indescribable feeling suddenly hit Feng Yinqiu's heart, making him move.
In fact, if he said that his own feelings were only relatively slight, but at this moment, the true talisman in his sea of consciousness had a change that had never been seen before. At that moment, the indescribable, seemingly simple and complex cloud pattern seemed to have disappeared from his sea of consciousness.
Of course, it didn't really disappear, he still felt it, but he was just detached from a concrete existence that seemed to be barely visible and tangible, no longer one with himself, no longer something that the Zhihai Lingtai could bear, but a vast, more boundless entire universe of heaven and earth, an endless eternal desolation.
It felt like it was just a moment, and then everything was restored. But this unprecedented feeling also made Feng Yinqiu stunned, and he subconsciously straightened up and looked left and right.
Everything around me was like the blink of an eye, and nothing changed. Only the blue pillar of light rising from the ground in front of him was still flickering, and Feng Yinqiu could feel that a kind of magic web vibration that was far deeper than any magic he had come into contact with before was gradually connecting and perfecting in the flickering of this pillar of light. The vibration of this magic net seemed to be somewhat related to the anomaly felt by the Ten Thousand True Talisman before, and it seemed to be a little different.
No, Feng Yinqiu suddenly woke up, this is not the slightest change, it is already a great change.
Gao Wen's hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he was drawing the sword outward, Liu Xuanying's fingers were surrounded by a little starlight, and the Nine Heavens Stars gathered but did not disperse, Mu Qinyi's face showed a slight look of surprise, and he was retreating. The swordsmen on the periphery were also surprised and wary, after all, there was a mage in the middle, and no one knew what kind of strange spell this sudden appearance was. Some were still talking, with their mouths open and their tongues sticking out, and one of them happened to have just sneezed, and the snot and saliva had just come out of their nostrils and mouths and stopped in the air.
Nothing has changed, everything is still. Except for the wind and the arcane circle on the ground that was constantly improving the connection, the whole world stood still.
This is no illusion. Feng Yinqiu stretched out her hand and gently pulled Mu Qinyi beside her, and the backward action she was stepping on in the air was then crooked, but as soon as she let go, she continued to stop in mid-air, and even the pulled clothes were not restored, like a puppet that was completely static and could only be moved by external force.
Not interested in testing on other people, Feng Yinqiu looked at the arcane magic circle on the ground, it was the only thing in this world that was still operating as usual, and the mechanism was gradually working and perfecting, and the resonance with the depths of the magic net was gradually deepening - by the way, and the magic net seemed to be working as usual, at least the part of the magic net connected to this magic circle was like this. Although there was a hazy feeling, and this strange state of stillness was not directly related to this magic circle, Feng Yinqiu still bent down as fast as he could and stretched his hand to the magic circle on the ground. It was originally made of a dozen or so small gems, as well as unknown powders and paints, but now those tiny gems and powders were all turned into thin rays of light in the pillars of light, and Feng Yinqiu could feel that it was not disappearing and vaporizing, but the laws of magic beginning to transform it into another higher-level form.
Several huge resistances that appeared out of thin air suddenly acted on Feng Yinqiu's body, causing him to pause, and then these several resistances wrapped him up, and then pushed him backwards.
Formless and substantial, this seems to be a pure force field effect produced by the action of the magic net like the force field missile. Feng Yinqiu judged it in an instant. According to the touch on his body, this force field effect seems to be the appearance of a huge palm, but the difference between the power shown and the one-ring magic force field missile is more than a hundred times, although there is no instantaneous impact, but Feng Yinqiu only feels as if there are several mountains repeatedly crushing him, even he has no strength to struggle, and even some can't support it.
Why did such a force field giant hand appear in this strange static environment, Feng Yinqiu couldn't figure it out, the vibration of the magic net has now become extremely deep and subtle, and if you want to perceive it, you must completely calm down and then experience it through the Ten Thousand True Talismans, but the huge force exerted by this force field giant hand from all directions is more than 100,000 catties, and he only feels like a beetle that accidentally fell into the hands of a young child, only desperately curled up into a ball of hard support and struggle not to be crushed into a puddle of juice, where can there be other leeway.
The purpose of the giant hand was also very clear, after wrapping Feng Yinqiu's capture, he pushed him towards a distance away from the blue light circle on the ground, and in a second or two, he crossed the ruins that had just been smashed out, and pushed him into the building on the opposite block.
There was a touch of masonry on his back, but it was instantly crushed by the pressure of the force field giant's hand, and then squeezed away. There was no sound, and the broken bricks and stones did not fly away, and once they broke away from Feng Yinqiu's body, they immediately froze in place, and Feng Yinqiu could only see himself being pushed, silently smashing the walls, furniture, and even the human body behind him, all the way away from the blue light circle.
The huge force around the body seemed to be endless, and the huge palm of the force field was constantly crushing it from various angles and methods, and the pain in the muscles and bones was gradually intensifying, and the breath began to carry a trace of blood, which was a manifestation that the internal organs had begun to be injured. It is not possible to drag on like this, Feng Yinqiu took a deep breath, his eyes turned red, and the power hidden deep in the deepest part of this body erupted like a volcano.
"Roar!" A wild howl came from the throat of the wind and the autumn, and a throbbing that contained ancient desolation, wild and primitive, and pure as the essence of life erupted from every inch of his body, and the huge vitality and this primitive and wild will blended together, instantly blooming with dazzling light, resisting the endless crushing of the giant palm of the force field.
Taking advantage of this respite, Feng Yinqiu tried his best to struggle, and the will to return the light brought the power of this flesh to the extreme, and every muscle, every vein and nerve fully manifested all its vitality, released it to its fullest, and exploded with this light.
He couldn't hear the cracking sound or anything like that, but Feng Yinqiu could indeed feel the invisible force field giant palm around him being shattered.
The cracked force field giant hand quickly vanished, leaving no shards and no wreckage. The impact of the entire force field model exceeded the capacity of the law thread of the magic net's vibration, and the operating arcane network program began to disintegrate structurally, and the spell dissipated directly.
"Form B is a faintly divine creature. ”
A cold word flashed through Feng Yinqiu's mind, making him stunned. This was not his own thought, but it seemed to be the link between the magic net and this spell, and an idea for him that spilled over from some existence was felt by the true talisman of all things, and then fed back into his mind. But when he tried to feel it again, there was nothing.
The force field around him completely disappeared, and Feng Yinqiu fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood in a half-kneeling cough, only to feel the pain all over his body like a thousand cuts. He tried to calm down for a moment before he smoothed out the wild desire that had swelled in his mind along with that burst of power, and returned to the deepest part of the sea of consciousness. This is derived from the little residual will of the Sidi Wolf God, if it weren't for the suppression of the Ten Thousand True Talisman in his knowledge of the sea, he would never dare to stimulate this inhuman divine power. Even so, every time such full potential is fully stimulated, it is an adventure for him, and if he can't suppress that wild and primitive beast, even he will be lost in it.
Relatively speaking, the tearing damage caused by the exertion of the limit just now is nothing. This body that has been refined by the divine power of the wolf god is also beyond that of mortals in terms of recovery power, and this kind of injury that can make ordinary people faint and lie down for more than half a year is just a sleep for him.
Standing up and looking up, he had now been pushed hundreds of meters away from the two Euro Mages and the Blue Circle, and when he looked at it from a distance, he could only see that it was still the same as when he was pushed away, and it had not changed at all.
And just as he was about to start and run there, the whole still world suddenly returned to its original state.
Boom, boom In that completely static world, even the wind could not flow, and when it returned to normal, the wind pressure that had been pushed away all the way caused such a destructive power that was not inferior to that of the four or five rings of arcane.
Between the turbulent air currents and the flying sand and rocks, the swordsman guards who were gathered together were also blown to pieces, and Mu Qinyi, who just wanted to take a step back, was almost blown out by an inexplicable force, thanks to Liu Xuanying next to him. However, in the face of this sudden explosive airflow, as well as Feng Yinqiu, who suddenly disappeared from his side, Liu Xuanying was also frightened and inexplicable.
And the blue light circle that emitted a pillar of light that reached the sky shrank into a thin ray of light the moment the world was restored, and disappeared with Stephanie and Pincks in it.
PS: Again, this is the world setting of pseudo-DND, and it is not completely copied, many things are re-set according to my own understanding.
