Docklands Market.

The red-haired old man walked quickly towards the fountain, and when he reached Rosen's side, he took out a small bottle from his waist bag: "This is a dormant potion, which can alleviate the destruction of toxins, but it will make the drug taker fall into a state of suspended animation, and the toxin is incomprehensible, and the drug taker will never wake up." ”

Veronica looked at Rosen, "You seem to know him?" ”

Rosen shook his head: "I've seen this person before, but I don't know his specific identity, but he should be from the Academy of Magic, and he is also a high-level." ”

At this time, Morbius spoke: "Don't guess, he is Max, the famous thunderbolt." ”

"It's you!" Rosen was taken aback.

"The toxin has already started to spread, if you believe me, take your medicine quickly!" Max urged.

This is already the only option.

Lawson and Veronica looked at each other, and Veronica said, "Give me the medicine!" ”

Max immediately handed the bottle over.

Veronica uncorked the bottle, tilted her head, and drank the entire bottle of the pill, and after a few seconds, she went limp, and collapsed into Lawson's arms, not only completely unconscious, but even her breathing and heartbeat became nonexistent.

Rosen immediately looked down at the wound on Veronica's waist, the black skin around the wound was still there, but it had basically stopped spreading.

Max turned and walked towards the alley in front of him, saying as he went, "Come with me, this is not the place to talk." ”

Rosen immediately picked up Veronica and followed Max's footsteps. Morbius also hurried a few steps and followed.

Max was very cautious, and as he walked, he used his magic to clean the traces behind him, and he explained: "Our opponent is Donassis, the Tree Demon of Destruction, this guy is a very patient and very sharp devil, and in front of him, any negligence will lead to defeat!" ”

"Tree Destroyer?" Lawson was stunned.

"What is the devil?" Morbius was also confused.

Max sighed and said, "I can't tell you clearly for a while, and when I get to a safe place, I will explain it to you in detail." ”

He began to quicken his pace, leading the two of them around the narrow, dark alleyway.

Rosen followed him for a while, and then he felt that he had entered a strange labyrinth, and when he thought about the way he had come from, he found that he had come all the way and could not find any signs to assist his memory.

In other words, he is now lost.

Morbius apparently felt the same way: "Max, what the hell are you doing here?" How come I've never been to this place? ”

Max shrugged, "Of course you haven't been here, because this place doesn't exist in the docklands. ”

Rosen's heart moved when he heard this: "Is this an illusion?" ”

Max glanced at Lawson appreciatively and praised, "Young man, you are much smarter than the bald undead. ”

Morbius was shocked when he heard this: "Max, when did you know that I was undead?" ”

"I knew it the first time you entered the academy."

Morbius was even more surprised: "Then you still let me enter and exit the academy freely, so you are not afraid that I will make trouble?" ”

Max shook his head: "I'm not afraid. ”

"Why?" Morbius was even more puzzled.

Max turned his head to look at the stunned Morbius, and said with a light smile: "Because you have neither the courage nor the strength, and of course, you don't have the will." In fact, the real opponents of the Academy of Magic are not sane Inhumans like you, but Inhumans who have fallen into the devil's lackeys, or monsters who have lost their minds in endless time. But ......."

"But what?" Morbius hurriedly asked.

"However, you and I are mortals, and in the long past, mortal reason has been very fragile. The longer you live, the easier it is to go crazy. Therefore, every Inhuman is a potential destabilizing factor. Rosen, you have to remember this, and try not to spend time with strangers in the future, so as not to harm yourself. ”

In the end, Max was actually serious.

Rosen spread his hands, feeling like he was lying down.

Morbius opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he felt that what Max said was very reasonable, and for a while he couldn't find any reason to refute it. No way, he could only muttered in a low voice: "It's useless what you said, Rosen is also an alien." ”

"What did you say?" Max didn't hear clearly.

"Didn't say anything." Morbius pouted.

Max snorted dissatisfiedly and asked no more. After a few more walks, he stopped, and in front of him was a solid, tall stone wall.

He raised his hand and pressed it against the stone wall, and after about three minutes, a wooden door suddenly appeared on the stone wall. Max pushed forward, and the door opened.

He stood by the door and stretched out his hand to make an invitation: "Come in." ”

Rosen walked in first, and he found that inside the door was a very large dim space, which was a very wide underground hall, seven or eight meters high, hundreds of meters long and wide, and in the hall, there was a huge stone pillar every 20 meters as a support, and there were hundreds of such stone pillars.

To Rosen's surprise, the hall was crowded with people, judging by their clothing, these people should be residents of the docklands. He made a rough estimate of the number and found that there were at least 10,000 people here!

Morbius on the side also found out, and he suddenly said: "No wonder the number of corpses in the dock area is so small, it turns out that everyone is here!" ”

Max glanced at him and shook his head slightly: "The situation is not as optimistic as you think. On the night of the gods' blessing, more than 20,000 people gathered in the docks. I later counted that the death toll was more than 7,000. And that's just the case in the docklands. There is also the college area in the west of the city and the residential area in the north of the city...... In this catastrophe, the number of victims was at least 20,000! ”

Rosen listened carefully to the data, and his heart moved, and he asked: "Your Excellency Max, according to what you said, you have already returned to Nilogaard on the night of the Celestial Festival, so why are you ......?"

Max raised his hand to stop Rosen's words: "This is not the place to talk, come with me and I will answer your doubts." ”

He continued to walk deeper into the hall, and when he reached the end, another heavy wooden door appeared, and he stepped forward, reached out and knocked lightly, paused for a second, knocked three times in succession, and then paused again, and then began to wait.

After about ten seconds, the wooden door disappeared and turned into a long staircase.

Max beckoned to Rosen and Morbius: "Follow me, don't mess around." ”

He walked up the steps first, and Rosen followed.

All the way, he kept his head down, did not squint, and walked along the steps for more than ten minutes, and finally at the end of the steps, a magnificent hall appeared.

As he walked into the hall, Lawson pretended to glance behind him, only to find that there was nothing behind him, no steps, no wooden doors, only a smooth wall.

He said to himself, 'This should still be an illusion.' ’

There were several benches in the middle of the hall, and on one of them there were already two people, an old woman with gray hair, and a petite young woman.

The old woman smiled at Rosen when she saw him, while the young woman bowed her head a little nervously.

Before Max could make an introduction, Morbius had already begun to salute the two women: "Sage Nia, illusionist Vigo." You're still alive, and that's great news. ”

Sage Niya smiled faintly: "You are the same. ”

Max walked to the side of the hall, pointed to a stone table, and said to Rosen, "Come, put her here." ”

Rosen did as he was told.

After setting up Veronica, Rosen immediately asked, "Lord Max, how can I save her?" ”

Max pointed at Nya: "I can't help this, you have to ask the sage." ”

Rosen immediately looked at Nya the Sage.

Nia stood up, walked over to Veronica, and began to examine the wound on her waist. After about five or six minutes, she turned her head to look at Rosen, and stopped talking.

Rosen was shocked and felt a little bad, and he asked carefully, "What should I do?" ”

Mobius also hurriedly said: "Sage, you must save her!" ”

Sage Nia let out a long sigh, "If the Tower of Wisdom is still there, it's very easy to save her. But alas, the Tower of Wisdom has been destroyed, and all contact between me and the Celestials has been severed. In this case, there is only one very cruel way to get rid of the toxin of destruction. ”

Rosen immediately asked, "What way?" ”

Mobius also said: "Sage, don't sell it, but say it quickly." ”

Nia glanced at Lawson again and whispered, "It takes someone, a powerful magician, to act as a link to the power of the gods. And I will use this magician's body to induce the power of the gods, and use the power of the gods to expel the toxins of destruction for this dragon girl. The cruelty lies in the fact that the power of the gods is so violent that if the magician who acts as a bond cannot support it, his body will explode and die on the spot! ”

Morbius was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Isn't this a life for a life?" ”
