Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Light of the Giant's Swamp
Seven days later, Xiao Li arrived at the Giant's Swamp ruins.
The Giant Swamp is located in the southeast of Blackwater City, and is a large swampy jungle with a radius of hundreds of miles. If it weren't for the fact that there was a stone path that was said to have been paved with volcanic stones by giants leading to the ruins, the average player would have walked for three days just by throwing ham.
"It's a city built by giants."
Lao Fei stood at the top of a flat-topped pyramid and was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Stone pillars that are often tens of meters high abound, and huge stones under the ruins of the broken walls cover the ground.
Tang Si said with a smile on the side: "My question is, where did these stones come from. ”
Xiao Li also smiled, staring at the master player craftsman who was recovering the rune array in the distance, and explained, "The giant is a rare and strong race that can master magic. It's not in line with our common sense, but it's true. ”
"These rocks must have come from a quarry and were teleported."
Xiao Li said as he walked down the pyramid to meet the mage who was surrounded by a group of people.
The mage's name is Yang Di, and the organizational relationship is subordinate to the Rocket Army.
For the brave, Xiao Li has never hesitated to appreciate and respect.
"Report...... Dean, Senior Master Yang Di reports, please instruct. ”
Listening to this "nondescript" report, Xiao Li smiled slightly, was silent, and said softly: "Brother, you know the mission goal, right?" ”
"Understood."
"But I'm going to repeat it."
Xiao Li said in a deep voice: "Take the return to the city scroll in your hand, and pinch it back to the city as soon as possible." ”
"If you can't pinch back to the city, find the backtracking teleportation as soon as possible."
"If you don't teleport, save your life."
"In short, your task is to take a look, just take a look, and then come back successfully, and you will complete the task."
After speaking, Xiao Li took out a bunch of scrolls, there were advanced spells, of course, more intermediate and elementary spells.
"I can only prepare these in a hurry, the essence scroll is too troublesome, and there is still a shortage of materials, so the strongest is only the high-grade scroll."
Yang Di looked at the pile of scrolls, his expression was grim, and he smiled: "Dean, this is too big." Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste to give it to me ”
After the news of the initial recruitment of volunteers spread, there were far more applicants than Xiao Li imagined. On the one hand, this is due to the arrangement of the aftermath, and on the other hand, there is a general yearning for the applicants to travel through time and space - because the dean has already said that this is a space-time magic circle, not a simple space magic circle.
Once you step inside, even if you can't survive, you can sense the passage of time, and you may even enter a high-dimensional space - in short, anything is possible.
So, in the end, after screening, Yang Di became the final "lucky one",
"Don't waste it, as long as you can come back, maybe it will be a help to the whole of humanity." Lao Fei Zhengse.

Ten minutes later, the circle was repaired.
As Xiao Li placed six magic crystals in it - yes, this magic circle needed the energy of magic crystals to drive.
Six pillars of dark blue magic light rose into the sky, and then constantly intersected and flickered in the air, finally forming a dreamlike magic rune array.
The rune array in the air corresponded to the rune array on the ground, and the surging magic fluctuations stirred the time and space, and began to ripple. Through the rune array itself, it was impossible to see the figure on the opposite side clearly.
Xiao Li looked at Yang Di: "Do you have any other requirements?" ”
Yang Di squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You guys make me nervous like this, I feel like you're calling me to leave a last word." ”
Everyone laughed, and the solemn atmosphere relaxed a little.
"But I'd like to ask the Dean a question in person." Yang Di stared at Xiao Li, thought about it, approached Xiao Li, and after quietly asking, he retreated, waiting nervously.
Xiao Li smiled slowly.
"Yes."
Yang Di smiled brightly: "I have a wish!" ”
His voice fell, and he stepped into the pillar of light, and then the figure vanished.
……
The clock ticked by.
The hearts of the people were lifted at the same time.
Five minutes later, Lao Fei looked at Xiao Li with a gloomy face: "What was the last thing he asked just now?" ”
Xiao Li was silent and said softly, "Ask me if I came back from time travel." ”
Lao Fei: "......"
Half an hour later, the pillar of magic light still didn't make a ripple.
The hearts of the people began to sink slowly.
Lao Fei patted Xiao Li's shoulder, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Wait for another half an hour, if you still haven't reacted, you will declare the mission a failure." ”
This mission seems to be only a dozen people here, but in fact, I don't know how many people's hearts are involved - after all, as long as this fails, it means that a big living person will be directly destroyed.
As for the outcome after stepping into the magic circle, including Xiao Li, even the night sporadic people participated in the discussion.
Everyone agreed that the greatest possibility of failure was to get lost in the space-time retracement, followed by the landing site being the Shattered Void, and being trapped in the Void because of the inability to use any of the Return City Scrolls. In the end, it is to teleport to a strange place, and it is impossible to use the city return scroll to get trapped.
In a word...... The odds of surviving are slim.
But...... As the Great Elder said, for the sake of the future of mankind, someone has to go and take a look.
In case of...... What about this circle that leads to hope?
Thirty minutes passed quickly, and Lao Fei looked at Xiao Li, just waiting for him to nod before announcing the mission failure.
Xiao Li shook his head silently: "Wait, what if a miracle happens." ”
Lao Fei sighed: "How can there be so many miracles. ”
"Am I not?" Xiao Li said lightly, and Lao Fei was silent anymore.
Xiao Li continued to be silent, and even he simply sat down, took out the manuscript paper and began to calculate.
The week before, he had been teaching the high-level magicians in the academy as the headmaster. The core of each lesson is not separated from time and space.
While everyone was full of harvest, they also gradually opened Xiao Li's thinking.
He had a guess now.
If time and space are compared to lines or strings. Then the space-time rune is the note on this string.
Only when the notes are in the right place and in the right combination can a beautiful melody be played.
And the melody of these melodies is the Vera spell.
But there are musicians in the world who can compose beautiful tunes from the aesthetic sense, but there are no musicians who can compose Vera spells...... Enchanter.
Based on this understanding, Xiao Li changed his thinking, no longer using the logic of spells to understand Vera's spells, but from the pure artistic conception of "beauty".
It seems to be very metaphysical, but in fact it is not metaphysical at all.
The so-called sense of beauty is a magical intuition that can only be mastered by a great magician.
……
Since Xiao Li was unwilling to admit defeat, the others had to wait with him.
He's the boss after all.
A few hours later, just when everyone had completely lost confidence, Xiao Li suddenly looked up from the manuscript paper.
He looked at the still unresponsive teleportation circle, and raised his eyebrows!
"There's a magic wave!"
