Chapter 40: Mysterious Crystals

The black flames burned, the black matter let out a miserable wail, it squirmed wildly, and the gray waves swooped down on it over and over again, trying to extinguish the flames, but it could only be in vain.

The gray light came as expected, but this time, it failed to extinguish the black flame like the flame that had extinguished Ophelia before.

As the black flame burned, the black matter became smaller and smaller, and the gray light also became dim.

Not long after, with a scream, the black substance burned out, and a gray spar fell to the ground with black flames, making a clanging sound. The gray light flickered and was noted, and it disappeared.

Only the gray silk did not disperse, they frantically pounced on the hedron on the ground, trying to extinguish the black flame above, and the result was that more gray silk was ignited.

And the magic array finally regained its control, but the lines turned dark red. Suddenly, the black color faded, and the red light burst out, and circles of red fireworks ignited from the center of the magic array, and the sound was huge.

The sudden burst of red flames burned all the gray gas and gray threads left, and just as the red flames rushed towards the black crystal, an accident happened.

Black Flame, burn the red fire...

Looking at the increasingly vigorous black flame, Lu Kaifeng's eyes widened.

It's the first time I've seen the fire burning...

But when I think about it, I feel normal. After all, there is magic in this world, and with the support of magic, it is not impossible for even fire to burn on the surface of the water, because the fuel is magic and not water. Against this background, it is not surprising that flames erode each other, flames burn in water, or frozen fires.

However, Lu Kaifeng has no magic power, and Hei Yan is burning completely with his own characteristics, without the help of magic power. No matter what it is, it can't escape the fate of being burned. In this way, Black Flame is a little unique.

I'll have to find a time to get to know it.

Seeing that Hei Yan was about to completely assimilate Honghuo, Lu Kaifeng planned to take Hei Yan back. At this moment, a strong red light burst out from the magic array, heading straight to the top of the hall, and the black flame was suppressed at this moment, and it was not allowed to enter.

A red crystal slowly rose from the center of the magic circle. The crystal is about the size of an egg, shaped like a ruby, and shines in the air.

It's just that this ruby is not complete, although it is a little far away, Lu Kaifeng can still see the gap in its lower right corner. Not to mention this, with the help of Sword Soul Perception, Lu Kaifeng could feel that there was also a gap on the back of the gem, and there were several small cracks on it.

The ruby slowly rises, is level with a person, and then stops, suspended in mid-air. And at the same time that it stopped rising, whether it was red fire or black flame, it seemed to be attracted, turning into black flame pythons and burrowing into the rubies. In a few moments, the flames in the temple were absorbed by it, and the ruby looked even more crystalline.

Lu Kaifeng quietly looked at the red crystal suspended in the center of the magic array, and then looked at the black crystal on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

What is it?

First came the gray crystal, which was left of the black mass burned by the black flames, and it was similar in shape to a ruby, like a gem, but at the same time mutilated. Although it was just glued by the black flame, the quality did not decrease at all. And the ruby is the same, not only was it not burned, but it even absorbed the black flame, and it is estimated that it has grown a little stronger.

couldn't think of the result, so Lu Kaifeng stopped thinking about it. He walked to the edge of the magic circle, hesitated, and tentatively extended the soul burial into the range of the magic circle.

No response.

Seeing this, Lu Kaifeng let go, stepped directly, stopped in front of the ruby, and observed curiously.

The ruby floats silently, emitting a red halo in the air, giving it a sense of sacredness. And Gray Jing was also lying quietly on the floor, but it gave people a completely different feeling from Ruby, there was a thin gray circle around it, which looked very ordinary, but after seeing it, it made Lu Kaifeng feel uncomfortable.

Strange stuff.

Lu Kaifeng reached out to grab the ruby, but he paused halfway through, and then took it back.

Let's wait for Ophelia to wake up, she doesn't understand anything, lest she have any accidents.

Thinking so, Lu Kaifeng withdrew from the magic array, walked to the nearest wall, and carefully studied the mural on it.

I have to say that this mural is still quite exquisite, much better than the mural dome paintings of what cathedral I saw on the Internet before, at least Lu Kaifeng can understand it.

The frescoes in the temple are a series, the first one on the left hand side of the doorway, and then return to the right side of the bronze door after going around the hall. The whole series seems to be a celebration of the deeds of the god of fire, such as the scene where he cuts off the head of a dragon that covers the sky; There is also the bravery of rushing into the demon army as if entering no man's land; There are also those who are besieged by the evil gods and fight back...

Through the murals, Lu Kaifeng learned some of the history of the Aramaic mythological period. Gods and demons, according to Ophelia, are no longer there, but there are still traces of dragons, which are said to be on Dragon Island in the east of the continent. Then, like some other strange creatures, Lu Kaifeng had never seen them, so he didn't know what race they were.

Before he knew it, Lu Kaifeng had already reached the last mural. There are two groups of forces in the painting, one side is full of holy light, and the light gods, angels, elves, and humans are all on this side. Their expressions were grim, with determination and perseverance, and they didn't need to look at it to know that this was the camp of justice.

On the other side, the sky is covered with dark clouds and death, and the earth is lifeless, full of skeletons and necromancers, strangely shaped demons spreading their rotting wings, black-feathered fallen angels holding dark energy in their hands, and evil gods smiling and full of disdain for the righteous camp.

This should be a god war, and it's quite spectacular.

"Hmm-"

With a thud, Ophelia's graceful body moved, and with the collision of metal, she opened her eyes and sat up, looking up to see the red gem floating in the air. Although the gem was broken, it was crystal clear, and the divine light made Ophelia a little unable to take her eyes off it.

Sensing that Ophelia was awake, Lu Kaifeng also walked to her side. Seeing that she couldn't take her eyes off the ruby, she thought she was in love with the gem. Everyone has a love for beauty, let alone a fifteen-year-old girl.

Lu Kaifeng is not interested in these, it doesn't matter if Ophelia wants to give it to her, he is sending someone under the fence, he should do this. Although I used to be ordinary, my hobby was just playing games, but I still know a little bit about being a man.

But before we can do that, we need to figure out where this thing came from, and Gray Crystal. At the very least, it's safe to do so.

He didn't want such a beautiful girl to be gone, it would be a pity.

Well, he doesn't have anything else in mind, really.
