"What happened?"

In a subterranean palace that shimmered with a glittering white light, a passing Darrant asked his fellow Darents who were standing in front of a magic mirror.

Since the Ring of Space was severed from this world twelve years ago, all of their survivors quickly gathered with the help of powerful magical powers to build this place named "The Vault".

True to its name, it was originally a warehouse for vital supplies, but in order to prevent the rebels from realizing that they had no backup, they decisively abandoned all visible castles and magical fortresses and turned from the light to the shadows.

But that doesn't mean the greedy and cruel Darrants have given up their ambition to rule the world!

On the contrary, after moving from the light to the dark, they easily infiltrated the indigenous inhabitants with the help of near-unrivaled magical power and endless means, and even supported several forces to achieve ulterior purposes through agents.

Obviously, the church in Bone City happens to be one of them.

The Darent, who had just finished speaking with the Bishop, shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, "It's nothing! ”

"Oh, the creative circle that is said to be able to transform flesh and soul into energy storage?" an interested look appeared on the former's face.

"Yes! That's it! Even though it was just a failed work, it has now become one of the most important sources of energy for the Vault, and we have to deal with it. The latter nodded thoughtlessly.

"Sounds interesting, who are you going to send? Don't forget, we're not a good fit to be in the world of Outer Manchuria. ”

"No, I don't need to shoot anyone. Don't forget, the alchemy creation that is still in the experimental stage is near the Bone City, just let it solve the trouble. We are higher beings of wisdom and strength, not the savage, ignorant, stupid lower beings out there. Remember, no matter how long the Ring of Space is closed, you and I have to be confident that it will reopen one day. ”

"Thank you for your teaching, I'm a bit bored in this dark place, so I can't help but want to go outside. ”

According to the ultra-long-distance communication sent from the home planet not long ago, a genius has found a way to repair the energy turbulence, and I believe that in our lifetime, we will be able to become the supreme lord of this planet once again. ”

"At that time, I will be glad to see the invincible army of the Empire appear, and what a wonderful look will be on the faces of those idiots who are still fighting for power, territory, and resources. ”

"Hahahaha!"

......

While the two Darrants were dreaming of a bright future, Luke, who had not rested all night, finally returned to his room, lying alone on the hard wooden bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling.

Although his body was starting to get a little tired, his spirit was extremely active, and his mind was full of memories and thoughts about the sacrificial circle.

Because the magic symbols and techniques on them are obviously completely different from the knowledge taught by the clan elders.

This means that either the knowledge passed down through generations of the clan is too narrow to understand the other magical systems out there, or the technology comes from invaders who disappeared twelve years ago.

According to the Elders, these invaders wielded terrifying magical powers that even the gods trembled, slaughtering all the gods in less than a year of the invasion.

As a curious and inquisitive boy, Luke was undoubtedly interested in this evil sacrificial circle.

After lying down for a while and finding that he couldn't sleep, he simply got up and took out a pen and a scroll made of some kind of animal leather from his backpack, and perfectly restored the entire circle according to his memory.

As for the ink used for writing, it is made of animal blood, and even after treatment, it exudes a pungent fishy smell all the time.

Luckily, Luke had long since gotten used to the smell, staring at the patterns on the scrolls, pondering the meaning and purpose of each symbol.

But before he could come up with a clue, the door creaked open, and Laphne walked in with a steaming piece of food, and carefully placed it on the table: "Please eat it while it's hot, I'm sure you'll be hungry now." ”

"Oh, how do you know I'm hungry?" Luke put down what he was holding and turned to stare meaningfully at the woman who matched his aesthetics.

"It's swollen eye bags. Anyone who sees this will understand that you didn't get much rest at all last night. Laphni explained with a pretended lightheartedness.

In fact, Luke is not the only one who doesn't sleep at night, and she hasn't rested much these days.

It's just that compared to Luke's undisguised face, she had applied a lot of makeup and other coverings beforehand, otherwise the situation would not have been much better.

"I see......"

Luke rubbed his slightly dry eyes, smiled disapprovingly and shook his head.

Just as he was about to pick up the bowl and take a big sip of hot soup to warm his stomach, he suddenly found that Laphne's legs were very tight, giving people the feeling that they might pounce at any moment.

After noticing this, he deliberately paused, raised his head and asked, "How does the soup taste today?"

"Great! I promise!" replied with great speed.

As much as she tried to make herself feel less nervous, there were some things that didn't work just by thinking about it.

Especially in order to cope with the state of emergency, every inch of muscle in the lower body enters the combat preparation, if the other party does not drink this bowl of soup, she will definitely rush up as soon as possible and forcibly pour the poisoned soup down.

Only in this way will she have a slight chance of winning.

"yes, that's really exciting. ”

With that, Luke brought the bowl to his lips and looked like he was about to raise his head and drink it all.

But the next second......

He slammed the bowl into the face of the woman who was close at hand, then raised his other hand to quickly complete the attack spell.

Rumble!

With an explosion and bright orange flames, Laphni's whole body was swept to the ground on the spot by a strong wave of qi, and a few drops of the soup splashed into her mouth.

"No !!!!"

Feeling the delicious taste coming from her mouth, Laphni's face instantly became extremely ugly, and she couldn't help but let out a crazy and unwilling roar.
