Chapter 112: Three Levels in a Row (Part I)
The trial of courage and wisdom is a test of the courage and wisdom of the trialist.
The systematic arrangement of the great magician Falman as the chief examiner of this round of trials is obviously ill-intentioned.
However, the appearance order of the great magician Falman also proves from the side that his identity is the same as Lin Ling imagined, and he is not an ordinary dragon role.
"I'm going to be your opponent for this round."
Grand Mage Farman said as he separated six mirror images and hovered beside him: "Young Arcane Mage, all you have to do is find out my true nature from these mirror images before I kill you. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the mirrors split again, resulting in a total of 12 mirrors.
"Now...... Game...... Begin! "Archmage Falman vanished with all the mirror images, and then reappeared in the middle of the forest.
12 mirrors, 1 real body.
"Hide and seek?" Lin Ling looked at the thirteen great magicians who were occupying different positions and posing in different postures, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
What's the difference between this and escort?
"Let me see if you really have the power of lightning shards, arcane mage!" The palms of the thirteen archmages Falman were simultaneously lit up with the brilliance of ice arrows.
Lin Ling stretched out a lightning fragment, and a thunderbolt of lightning struck one of the Great Magicians Falman, and then bounced into the body of another Great Magician.
Lightning continued to travel through the bodies of the archmage Fahlman, who was both real and fake, causing lightning damage one after another.
"Is that all you know?"
Thirteen archmages questioned Farman at the same time.
"Of course not." Lin Ling pressed the cover of the Secret Ritual Codex, and the ordinary mirror image would disappear immediately after being damaged, while the mirror image created by the great magician Valman was still standing there firmly, preparing for the magic that had taken a long time, which showed that the strength of those mirror images had reached the level of an incarnation or a clone. If he had been hit by a round of ice arrows sent out by the mirror image, he might have hung here.
There is no shame in failing in a test of courage – a phrase that is often used to comfort those who can't even hold a sword.
Lin Ling didn't want to be reduced to a comforting object, he knew that even if the Great Magician Falman wanted to escort him to the next round, it would have to be after he showed some strength.
Archmage Falman had already hinted at it from the moment he appeared on the scene - don't forget, Archmage Falman's true form was born from the Void.
There will be no reflection in the phantom.
Although with the strength of the great magician Valman, it was not difficult to create a slight reflection, but the reflection created was very rigid, and Lin Ling could see that it was wrong at a glance. All he had to do was attack all the Archmages present as much as possible to see if their reflections would change according to the attack.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Ling threw the last thunderbolt without hesitation. In the moment of lightning, he unleashed wings of flame at the place where the great magician Falman had gathered, illuminating their true faces with a blazing light, illuminating the shadows beneath their feet.
The electric snakes swam back and forth forcing the Grand Magician Falman to scatter in all directions, and the reflections under their feet changed, but not all of them changed.
There were at least three Grand Mages who had chosen to stay where they were, and their positions were so subtle that no matter which angle they launched the Flame Wings, the explosion effect of the magic could only affect two of the three of them.
But Lin Ling only had to see if their reflections would change with the movement of the firelight.
He soared into the air, the flames of magic burning through the sky, and instead of shooting the ice arrows that were ready to be fired, the great magicians Falman raised their heads one by one, watching the flames slash over their heads.
The three Great Magicians Valman advanced and retreated together, but Lin Ling exploded the wings of flame in the original position.
The heat wave of the explosion and the light of the fire rushed to their faces, and there were seemingly real reflections behind them, but one of the great magicians Falman did not raise his arm to cover the fire like the other two great magicians Falman, but in his reflection, the position of his hand was not on his side.
"Got you!" Lin Ling pretended to shoot an arcane missile at another great magician Falman, and the moment the other great magician Falman cast his mana shield, he took a step forward and reached out like a warrior to grab the neckline of the great magician Falman's real body.
"That's enough."
A staff of nothingness surged from the palm of Archmage Falman, and he tapped lightly on the ground, and the passage of time within the trial of courage was suddenly suspended.
Time stops again.
Lin Ling had felt the same time-stopping effect once in Bane's Dungeon, but that time stoppage was applied to those NPCs, not himself.
However, the time stop issued by the Great Magician Farman was aimed at Lin Ling himself, and he didn't even understand what magic the Great Magician Farman used on him, so he changed positions with the Archmagician Farmman.
System Prompt: Do you want to use the Blessing of Courage effect?
Lin Ling reluctantly used the Nether Impact, and in the impact of the fallen Netherworld Power, on the surface of the Great Magician Falman's body, all the damage was absorbed by the mana shield, but the forced knockback effect was really triggered.
"Use the Blessing of Courage!" Lin Ling used the bold blessing left to him by the Ghost Light Guard, and he instantly switched places with the Great Magician Falman, opened his arms, and greeted the Archmagician Falman, who was still affected by the forced knockback effect, and waited for him to throw himself into the net.
"You're doing a great job, Zero." The Great Magician Falman was not caught by Lin Ling, he suspended the operation of time, and expanded the scope of time to the entire forest, and in an instant, the wind stopped flowing, the plants stopped growing, and the fragrance of the earth was solidified.
The second time stopped.
Lin Ling looked at the Great Magician Valman with a blue face.
Although the subject of the second time stop quickly moved from him to the entire trial area.
But anyone who is coldly kicked back into the time dimension of the real world by Time Stop, and is pulled back to the time dimension of "Eternity" before he can get used to it, will be dizzy and disgusted by the time difference between the two dimensions.
Lin Ling didn't lie down immediately, thanks to his ten years of experience in the game, and his spirit had already adapted to quickly switching between the two time dimensions.
"This kind of test is just a simple warm-up for you. Your next opponent will be Archmage Denken's Arcane Soul, who will use Flame Blast, Flame Orb, Dragon's Breath, Flame Blast, and Wall of Fire on you. The name of the trial is tenacity, and you must survive under his magic for 10 minutes, but Archmage Denken will definitely use the dismantling spell to remove any magic effects from you at the beginning. "Great Magician Falman taught Lin Ling how to pass the next trial like a teaching child, "If I were you, I would use invisibility to cover my body before he did it, and you carry that, the Secret Ritual Codex." ”
"Of course." Lin Ling nodded, he was surprised that the Great Magician Falman was willing to reveal the content of the next trial to himself, when would he also help players cheat?
Immediately, Lin Ling realized that he hadn't really captured the true body of the Great Magician Falman in this trial, and he hadn't won this trial.
"Originally, Archmage Dengken was supposed to be the trial officer of this round, but I wanted to tell you something you didn't know, so he went to the third round. Those things were supposed to be told to you by the library keeper I had placed in the mage's treasure room, but I didn't expect it to be tainted by the power of the Temple of the Gods and degenerated into a primordial titan. The Great Magician Falman said lightly, the library recorder he was talking about was the librarian, and finally merged with the Seat of Knowledge into the Wansheng Stone Sculpture, and absorbed the mirror shadows of the three libraries to merge into the spirit body of the original Titan.
"I want to tell you that I've found blueprints for lightning shards in the Outlands and made some replicas that are realistic enough." As he spoke, Grand Magician Falman drew out four wands that were exactly the same shape as lightning shards and handed them to Lin Ling, and said to him, "Your task is to bring them into the Storm Altar and reforge the wand-lightning essence together with your genuine lightning shards. The elf Trines and the elven mages of the Holy Council cleaned the Storm Altar in the ruins of Rigdenray beneath the Gilded Manor, and I was worried that the Storm Altar would attract the prying eyes of werewolves or drow, and the mages had always believed that the original werewolf Storm Knight was actually a battle mage holding part of the super artifact, the Thunder Throne, a school of vanishing mages. ”
"I think the Storm Altar has attracted Drow's peep."
Lin Ling remembered the mirror shadow of using the Book of Heavy Training to transfer to Storm Knight, that guy must have been to the Storm Altar, otherwise it would be impossible to obtain the Storm Knight, a faction advancement class unique to the Eternal Night Council.
There is no natural weather like a storm underground.
"Sure enough, they were in trouble, but I'm sure they could figure it out on their own. Young Arcane Mage, my essence is not in the Eternal Continent, not even in this constellation where the Eternal Continent is located. Seventy years ago, I followed in the footsteps of the pioneers, traveling with twenty mages aboard the Astral Ship to the Temple of the Gods, hoping to find a way to lift the curse of immortality and destroy immortal evil. So there's a limit, very limited amount of help I can give you. The archmage Falman's figure gradually became transparent, as if he was about to leave this world, "Don't you want to say anything to me again?" Arcane mage? ”
"Wait."
Lin Ling's heart moved, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the arm of the Great Magician Falman: "I found your true body." ”
"Yes, you passed the trial." Grand Magician Farman smiled slyly, "May the light of mana shine on your path." ”
System Prompt: Blessed by Courage.
Blessing of Courage: Increases maximum mana by 30% and reduces the cooldown of all skills by half; Duration: N/A; Only valid in the Trials of Valor.
The trees and the beautiful carpet laid on the ground disappeared with the Grand Magician Valman.
Burning flames, landing on the ground.
The flames ignited the air around them, and the distorted air turned into a glittering portal that pulled Archmage Denken's arcane soul from the prison of the Golden Valley to the Trials of Valor.
"I don't know what mercy is."
Archmage Dengken's arcane soul said to Lin Ling, "You have 10 seconds to pray for the truth faith to give you strength, or stand still like a stake, young arcane mage. I'll only do dozens of hits. 10, 9, 8...... Eight is followed by one! Accept the sanction of fire, heretical mage who learns arcane! ”
