702 Techniques of transcendence
As if he had escaped from the blazing hell world, the scene in front of him suddenly changed in front of Duan Qing, and then the primordial darkness that had lost the light of the fireball was returned to him, and the arm that had been pulled was also slowly loosened by the snow spirit phantom ice, he looked around the surrounding environment, and only after a while did he confirm his location, which seemed to be in the basement of a certain building - the dim light, the old wall, except for the steps next to it, which had not been eroded by time, The basement in front of me is full of ancient atmosphere unique to ancient times, and the cracks that extend from the ground under your feet to the walls are glowing with blue-purple fluorescence, and the unknown patterns carved on the wall emit a strange smell that is very different from the real world, but the ordinary tables, chairs and daily utensils placed around this room still prove that this place belongs to people to live.
Of course, everything in front of them still didn't completely attract the attention of Duan Qing and Xue Ling Phantom Bing, and their eyes also turned back to the flame-filled mirror that they had just passed through with the continuous burning sound behind them: "Okay Rose, your performance is qualified, please put away your ugliness, Fenghua Town can't afford these ......"
"Hahaha! Finally willing to show up Norman! Was that your 'sanctuary' just now? We've been looking for a long time! β
"It's not that I question your wisdom, but ...... Even if I extend the portal for a few more seconds, you may not be able to catch it, right? β
"What? How dare you...... Questioning my strength? β
The fireball bombardment, which was even more chaotic than before, continued to resound around the alley, blasting the mansion there and the courtyard walls erected on both sides into fragments of different sizes, but the thin figure that was surrounded by it flashed to other places early, leaving only the red shadow that had been drowned in flames, and the snow spirit phantom ice that was staring at all this then also covered his gaze, as if he felt the heat he had personally felt before from those immersive pictures, Then, after realizing that this was just a picture, he turned his head and glanced at Duan Qing next to him, who showed a thoughtful expression: "This person ...... Who is it? β
"Norman, an old man who used to stay in the Mage Council in Windflower Town." Duan Qing replied casually, "Although according to my judgment, this guy should also be a patriarch in the Mage Council......"
That is to say...... Are we at the feet of the Mage Council now? Xue Lingphantom Ice raised her eyes and looked around: "The underground of the building located south of the town hall?" β
"That's ...... It's not for sure yet. β
Shaking his head intently, Duan Qing's voice had a slight groan: "But it's certain that it's ......"
"We've been teleported somewhere even the Restorers can't know."
Boom Boom Boom β
In the violent explosion that still did not stop, the black shadow that was submerged in the sea of fire suddenly stopped, and then the image of the Norman old man with a shabby magic robe appeared in the picture in front of Duan Qing and the two of them for the first time, looking at the rain of flames that continued to extend from the distant sky, a strange smile appeared on his face, and his rickety body then followed the red light reflected by the rain of fire that was getting closer and closer, and slightly put on a strange posture: "It's been so long, Your personality hasn't changed at all......"
"Looks like you're a good fit for those who like to hide in the dark."
"The magic empire is so powerful that you old guys can't understand it at all!"
An arrogant and loud shrill voice then came from the air, and at the same time, the fireball sent to the old man became a little more violent: "It's like...... Same now! β
ββ¦β¦ This can also be tricked. β
An unimaginable crisp sound then appeared on the surface of the body where the last fireball was about to come into contact with the old man, as if completely isolating the flames on the other side of this space, and then a white light that did not belong to any magical element appeared on the old man in a strange pose, and then surged outward together with the sudden burst of some unknown energy, and the magical light that flew away with the piercing friction sound then drew a dazzling white line in the night sky, and slashed to the corner of the street and alley that was beyond sight of the eye with a dazzling trajectory, The cry of pain belonging to the opponent who had never shown up suddenly sounded in everyone's ears with the spread of the stars that had been crossed by this trajectory: "Ahhhββ!h You, you're ...... How do you ......"
"This is a high-level magic countermeasure, which has been deliberately strengthened by my tracking and enhancement."
The old man, known as Norman, slowly retracted his posture, and then let out a smug chuckle that only came out when he finished his masterpiece: "It is impossible for those who can only follow the shadow of the Magic Empire to have such an imagination. β
"Well, so what!" The voice seemed to be struggling in pain: "The core of the flame will resist all damage for me, you can't hurt me at all......"
"It seems that you still don't understand...... What is the purpose of the so-called tracking enhancement? β
The speed completely different from the old image he possessed appeared on the old man's body again, and disappeared into the alley where the flames had not yet dispersed with a violent sound of ground trampling, and Norman, whose whole body appeared with a white streamer, then turned into a phantom that could not be distinguished by the naked eye, and swept diagonally towards the end of the complex trajectory that had previously crossed the air. At the end of the place, which seemed to have no change from the surrounding scene, another old man's frightened face appeared, and the equally panicked arm then waved a large area of blazing flames in a hurry, and the phantom that rushed quickly next moment quickly passed through the gaps where the flames were not yet intertwined, and stopped behind the red-robed mage known as Rose with a simple movement: "Just for the sake of ......"
"Catch a rat like you."
The fingers condensed in mid-air with the smile on his face gathered into a fist, swung down in the direction of the opponent's face, and then in the sudden screams and scattered white hair, he sent Rose, who was holding a red jewel in his hand, into the distance.
"Two elderly people fought in broad daylight, and one of them was punched by the other...... This kind of exciting news was very attractive in the past. β
Looking at the cracks that gradually appeared on the arms of Norman, who landed lightly, Duan Qing, who was standing in front of the transparent light curtain, sighed and said, "Although either of these two people now can beat most players......
"That ...... What is the technique? Xue Ling, who was staring at the picture on the side, was concerned about those more important questions: "Is it another form of special spell?" β
"Don't ask me, people are authentic NPCs." The smile on Duan Qing's face gradually subsided: "The method they use has nothing to do with us, but the authentic free world magic." β
"Inside the magic system of the free world...... Are there factions that can improve their physical fitness? Xue Ling's voice was a little puzzled: "Is there such a system?" What is your name? β
"Enchantment!"
It was not Duan Qing who answered her, but the scene that was transmitted to the two of them again, and the red-robed mage who was knocked to the corner of the alley by the previous punch then got up from the ground with difficulty, his eyes staring at the other party's whole body glowing with blue-purple light: "This is an enchantment that targets itself?" β
"It's a category of enchantment, but it's far from being as simple as enchantment."
Bending down to pick up the red elemental stone that the other party had thrown to the ground, Norman shook his head and replied in a low voice, "Not only must the magic element be solidified in the human body, but the energy contained in the element must be used correctly...... I don't think I need to remind you of the magic that can do this, right? β
"It's difficult, is it a magic array?" Rose, who covered his face, opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "This is a lowly magic that violates the dignity of a magician!" It's forbidden magic in the Magic Empire! You...... No, how did you know about this method? Who are you from Clariant? β
Clariant ......
As if to mention some kind of unpleasant name, the smile on the lips of the old man named Norman slowly faded: "He is...... My apprentice. β
"Over the past few decades, that lovely lad ...... Thank you for taking care of me. β
Boom!
The tooth-aching sound of fists and flesh clashing then appeared in front of Duan Qing and the two of them, it was the sound made by Norman's fist shadow that burst out again and hit the red-robed mage hard, mixed with screams, and then rolled to another corner of the alley like a bowling ball that had been knocked away, and the jaw-dropping expressions then appeared on the faces of the two people watching the battle remotely, and at the same time appeared the old man's shabby robe stirred up by magic, A black streamer suddenly appeared next to Rose, who was powerless, and wrapped his body that fell to the ground: "You, you...... Norman! β
"You're not going to end well!"
The swirling black gas then turned into a gloomy black wind, dispersing towards the equally dark night sky, and Norman, who looked at the clearing that should have been wrapped in it, but had disappeared at this time, then let out a long sigh, and at the same time put away the magical light like a flame burning on his body: "...... Shh β
He turned around and cast a transparent magic light shield in front of him again, and then stepped in front of him in one step in the same light that lit up next to Duan Qing: "Oh, look at you, I seem to have forgotten to turn off the teleportation channel last time, it's really useless to be old......"
"Hehe, hehe." So Duan Qing could only let out a few dry laughs: "Norman...... Thank you, Master, for your help at this critical moment and for giving us the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful battle......"
"No thanks, this is the return gift for the last bottle of greenstone." Norman waved his hand indifferently: "But there is one thing I still have to say...... It's too reckless to break into the current Fenghua Town like this! Could it be that you adventurers have only learned the word 'impulsive' after going out on adventures for so long? β
"We ...... I wasn't going to do anything more. Duan Qing, who was grabbing his head, hurriedly replied with a smile: "We just got a ...... Uh, message, and want to come over and scout first. β
"Message?"
The glow with the jumble of lines finally began to fade slowly, and Norman, who walked to one of the shabby round tabletops, sat down unceremoniously: "What news?" β
"Yes......"
"News of a large number of magic bombs delivered by the Restoration."
There was silence between them for a long time, and the hesitant Duan Qing's thoughts about opening his mouth were then broken by the deep voice of Xue Ling's Phantom Ice: "The restorers have obtained a large number of magic bombs through various means, which should be property transported by illegal passages by sea, we suspect that they want to use these to do something to Fenghua Town, so ......"
"Magic bomb?"
The voice indifferently interrupted the female swordsman's words, and Norman raised his eyelids: "That's it...... The ...... 'product' of that guy from FredrΓguez? β
ββ¦β¦ Yes. β
After a while of understanding the name in the other party's mouth, Xue Lingphantom Ice replied in a low voice, "...... Sorry, though...... It was indeed something that the magicians of the previous empire had studied. β
"Don't be sorry for that, little girl."
Waving his hand again, Norman's gaze fell on the shabby round table beside him: "Simple but powerful weapons and magical devices have always been criticized for some time now, because ordinary people who have mastered them will definitely take the lead in using these achievements in force and war, and this is the case with the things you Imperial people have researched, and the same is true of the enchanted array I used just now...... How? How did I find out who you are? While the armor you use is a product of ancient magic, the bracelet and cloak you use are all styles used by the Empire......"
"No, that's not what I meant."
Looking at the corners of the other party's mouth raised again, Xue Lingphantasm Bing shook his head slightly: "I just think...... The Restorationists wanted to repeat the tricks we had used in Fars Fortress, and we came here, only to be plotted against them......"
"As for the reason why the other party knew in advance that we were coming, and why they framed us so much...... These are two questions that I have been thinking about all the time I have been thinking about. Speaking of this, Xue Lingphantice looked at Norman's face again: "Now...... I seem to already know the answer. β
"Is it to lure the Norman master out?" Duan Qing on the side echoed in a low voice.
"The Restorationists must have known that the Mage Council had been hiding nearby, but they had never been able to find their hiding place." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice raised her head and glanced around at the basement-like scene: "But now...... The situation may vary. β
"Rest assured, the things you are worried about do not exist."
Norman's voice then echoed in the small basement, accompanied by a smug look on his face again: "As for the reason......
"Who told you that we're still in Windflower Town?"
