After a "small episode" of the war dancers, the team finally followed the corpse of the Azorean elf, very smoothly, towards the target location.

Fortunately, because of the annihilation of the fleet, the port of the Azorean elves is completely panicked at the moment, and they don't have time to pay attention to a group of slightly "different" Azorean elves, let alone notice that there is anything strange about the blood stains on their clothes or the current situation, the ones without blood stains on their bodies are really strange.

The group left the shore in such a frightened way, crossed the harbor where the Jewel River meets the coast, carefully lurked through the drainage channel directly under the dock, and boldly left the Ebotden coastal harbor, swaggering through the Ebotden drainage port into the underground passage.

It's like being in a no-man's land.

The frontal battlefield was a fierce battle beyond the imagination of the Azorean elves, attracting all their attention, and the direct result was that the rear was emptied.

It wasn't until they entered the underground passage that the black-haired wizard and his party encountered patrolling soldiers, but they were few and far between: one wardancer to cover and attract the attention of the enemy, and two witchers to sneak up on the left and right, easily touching all the sentinels in their path.

"The so-called infiltration means that no one found out that you came in the method and process, and it doesn't matter at all. Loren Turin said.

Finally... After taking out all the sentries they encountered along the way, they came to a ventilated intersection with six passages leading in completely different directions, and there was no intersection in sight.

"This is it?"

After a quick glance at his surroundings, Daltoncandle looked at the other wizard tower elder beside him: "No miscalculations?"

"In Logan's name, there was no miscalculation. The patriarch, who was still calming down, nodded seriously, and even showed a hint of nostalgia on his face:

"When I was younger, Ebotden wizards were subject to the strict rules of the Church, a place where 'bad wizards' who didn't like to be restrained experimented, and a popular place where apprentice idols such as Corona could often be seen showing their latest achievements. ”

"When you were young?"

There was a hint of surprise on Lusen's face, and his impression of Corona was much younger than this one: "Uh... Master, by 'young' you mean about ......"

"Probably... Well, more than 80 years ago. The Wizard Tower Patriarch waved his hand uncertainly: "I can't remember anything too long, it seems to be the eleventh generation." ”

“......”

The gray-eyed boy with a stunned face stopped talking, and the demon hunters and war dancers around him also had a "hell" expression.

For exactly ten seconds, only the sound of the air flowing could be heard at the dead intersection.

"What's the problem?"

Glancing around, Daltonkand said coldly.

The motcaters and war dancers shook their heads quickly.

"Let's get started, we're running out of time!"

According to the plan, the nine wizards needed to build a magic array in the nine places where the void remained most strongly in the underground passage, and finally connected the magic array with the help of the void power of the passage itself to form a large magic array covering the entire Eberden underground.

Although with the human body, even with the "blessing" of the city of Ebolden, it is far from enough to activate it, but at least it can complete the most basic ability of a magic array and gather the power of the void.

The remnants of the void that have been condensed for hundreds of years by the entire Eberden are gathered in the hands of one person.

And for everyone, there is another problem that must be solved as soon as possible, and that is... Who leaves, who stays?

"I'm most familiar with this place, let me stay. ”

The Wizard Tower Elder glanced at the two colleagues beside him, took the initiative to stand up, and looked at the black-haired wizard sincerely: "I am very familiar with every brick and stone here, every trace of void residue. ”

"It's absolutely not going to work!"

Daltonkind frowned slightly: "We just pulled out all the sentries along the way, and we will be aware at any time that the port outside is heavily guarded by enemy troops, and once it is exposed, it will be the first to be surrounded and suppressed... I stay. ”

"No offense, but Lord Dalton Kander, your claims simply don't hold water!"

The elder of the wizard tower who was robbed paused slightly, and couldn't help but speak: "I know your ability in battle, but once we start casting spells, we can only stand in place and let others slaughter us, and give our lives to our companions next to us, of course, we should choose the most efficient ...... at this time."

"Wrong, the more critical the position, the more we should take care of the overall situation. Daltonkand's voice was like a sharp blade, merciless: "I will stop casting spells when necessary, and do everything possible to stop the enemy, the lack of a caster has little effect on the magic array, but if the death of one person affects the other ......"

"Lord Dalton, you don't mean to say that I will be easily killed, do you?!"

"I didn't say that. ”

"But that's what you mean!"

"I ......"

"Two, now is not the time to quarrel!"

The black-haired wizard with messy hair couldn't help but speak: "I don't think we need to wait any longer, maybe we will be sent ...... in the next second"

"Woo!!!"

An eagle-like horn suddenly came from the passage behind him.

The faces of the shocked people changed in shock, and they all turned their eyes to the direction from which the horn came.

"Wings of the Firmament, Alert!"

Always the first to react, Rusen drew his twin swords and rushed towards the attacking foe with the witcher with a roar.

"Bell!"

The sound of fighting and screaming came from the dark passage.

Liya, who just wanted to rush up together, was stopped by the black-haired wizard before she could rush out.

"Let's go, we're not here to fight the enemy!" Loren shouted unceremoniously, staring at those eyes with a hint of anger:

"Bring the wizards and go ahead and wait for the witchers to join you!"

The female elf who clenched her teeth did not speak, hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and ran away without hesitation.

In a moment, the witchers who had temporarily repelled them all retreated, not forgetting to plant two or three alchemical bombs as traps on the fallen corpses.

Farther through the passage, the elven warriors, who could already hear shouts for support and shouts, quickly gathered in this direction.

And at the entrance of the passage where the crowd was originally gathered, only the black-haired wizard, Dalton, the elder of the wizarding tower, and Albert remained.

"They're coming this way, and they're coming soon!" While wiping the blood from his eyes, the gray-eyed boy said quickly, "Look at at least twenty of them, we have to ......"

"Boom !!!"

The golden-red flamelight lit up the dark passageway, and everyone who was shocked saw a charred corpse collapsed in the flames.

"Now it's nineteen. Lusen twitched the corners of his mouth: "We have to speed up, or the enemies will only increase! Master Albert, you are the first to leave, and I will send... Master Albert?!"

As they spoke, the Wizard Advisor was already at the front of everyone, wand raised to point to the aflame passage.

"Let this pointless quarrel stop, everyone. Albert, who didn't look back, took a deep breath and raised his wand aloft: "I am the executor of this plan, and I will stay." ”

"In the name of the members of the Imperial Cabinet of the Heavenly Dome Palace, I order you to leave, immediately!"

"Master Albert ......"

As soon as the Wizard Tower Patriarch wanted to say something, he was dragged by Dalton Kander: "Let's go." ”

"He's the Wizard Advisor, the highest of us. Dalton looked at him and said quickly, "We should obey his orders, shouldn't we?"

The crowd, who no longer hesitated, left decisively.

"You're still here. ”

Albert slowly looked back at the gray-eyed boy and the female elf who were still standing beside him: "I must admit how flattered I am to be protected by the personal guards of both Lady Lothair and Duke Byrne. ”

"I'm sorry, Master Albert. Standing in place, Lusen smiled slightly: "We were tasked with protecting the wizard, but ......"

"You don't have a rule on which one we have to protect!"

The female elf who snorted coldly threw away the Azorean long knife in her hand, pulled out two one-and-a-half-foot metal short sticks from the clothes behind her, and "bell!" combined them into one and turned them into three-foot spears.

"Sure enough, it's easier to take this one. ”

Leah muttered.

Almost at the same time, the figures of the elven warriors could already be seen in the dark passage, brandishing their long knives and rushing towards the three of them.

"They're there!"

"Rush up and stop them, and none of them will let go!"

"Quick, whoever is going to sound the alarm, the whole city is wanted, and tell His Highness Rodria about it!"

...... Amid shouts and exclamations, the figure of the enemy is getting closer and closer.

"Bell!"

A spark exploded in the dark passage, and the sword-wielding elven warrior bounced off the oncoming arrows.

"Lord Lusen, could you please keep shooting?" Albert suddenly said, "You don't have to hit, just keep the rhythm and alert me when the enemy is approaching." ”

"Understood. ”

The unchanging face continued to set up his crossbow, constantly firing in the direction of the enemy, and the crisp sound of metal crashing became more and more clear and clear in the tunnel.

"Fifty steps!" said the gray-eyed boy.

"Thank you!"

Albert slowly raised his right hand, and almost at the same time, the female elf immediately noticed that the air around her seemed to be getting a little cold.

"Thirty steps!"

The already dim underground passage seemed to fall into the night for a moment, and the cold ice mist began to converge at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the edges of the walls even showed traces of frost.

"Ten steps!"

At the same time as he roared, Lusen had already thrown away his crossbow and drew his twin swords, and the female elf beside him had already set up her spear and was ready to fight.

In an instant, the terrible sound of the wind suddenly sounded in their ears, and the black wind swept up the ice mist full of granular crystals and swept towards the pitch-black passage.

The ice crystals churning up and down in the cold wind were like the roar of a running wolf.

Shocked, Lusen and the female elf froze in place with wide eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the passage turned into an ice cave, and the elven warriors in the passage maintained a posture of brandishing long knives and rushing wildly, turning into motionless "sculptures".

Lifelike!

"This, this... This ......"

The surprised female elf stammered, and looked at the old man beside her in shock, who was aging, weak, and without the slightest "threat".

Just over an hour ago, I had to make a lot of effort to get him out of the water!

"Yes, I'm not a stealth master like Dalton Kander, nor am I a war hero like the Duke of Turin in Loren, but ......"

Facing the two pairs of surprised eyes beside him, Albert looked gentle and smiled humbly:

"As the holder of the record of the youngest patriarch in the past, I also had a glorious time, and a sight skill that was enough to be praised, otherwise, I would not have been able to serve as a wizard advisor to His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Dome Palace for many years. ”

"Oh, if you count our Brandon II, that's three generations. ”

Bang!

When the voice sounded, an "ice sculpture" suddenly exploded... The elven warrior who survived collapsed to the ground, looking in horror at his frozen companions.

He shuddered, raised his head, stared at the three figures at the end of the passage with trembling eyes, and used the long knife in his hand to support the body that was still panting violently and could not stand firmly.

"Hey, ah, ah, ah!!!"

The sword-wielding elven warrior roared, desperate to pounce on himself.

"Master Albert?"

The stunned gray-eyed boy was pushed away by the wizard, and watched as the other party raised his right hand lightly, pointing his index finger at the tip of the knife aimed at his face.

In the next second, the tip of the knife that turned into ice crystals shattered.

"Smack!"

Then there is the blade, the blade, the blade, the hilt... Then came the hands of the elven warrior, his arms, chest, neck, torso, stunned face, running feet, crest of the skull......

The Azorean elven warriors, who had turned into ice crystals, shattered in front of Alberd, and were only less than two or three steps away.

The sound of roaring and running footsteps echoed over and over again in the passage, but half of the figure was no longer visible.

"Before I became the Elder of the Wizard Tower, I had a very bad memory of being isolated, lost in the borders of the Void World, and my consciousness almost dissipated... And when I returned, I had the ability to put these terrible powers to work for myself, and the Ice Barrier was one of them. ”

Alberd, who spoke lightly, stood in place without saying a word, and raised his wand: "And this is one of the areas with the thickest remnants of the entire Eberden Void; ”

"So... Do you understand why I have to stay?"

Albert, who was talking to himself, received no answer.

In the dead silence, there were only two throat-pumping sounds.

Lusen and the female elf, who looked at each other, were both looking at each other with shocked and indescribable expressions.

Behind him, this former wizard advisor... Does he really need someone else to "protect" him?
