In the Shadow Altar, Sophia and her party solemnly prepared the seal for a few minutes.

In a few moments, the one-hour time limit would be reached, and the two mages who had entered the ice-free river still hadn't been able to come out.

"Why do the two of them still want to go down, knowing that there is great danger down there?" Sophia stopped the magic inscription in her hand and sighed quietly.

"Because not everyone is as lucky as you."

Originally, she didn't hope to get an answer, but Frey, who had been closing her eyes and recuperating because she couldn't help much, suddenly opened her eyes and said: "After the Great Migration Era, with the resurgence of magical civilization, a large number of resources have also been exploited one after another...... And you must know better than me how much resources you need for all kinds of magical items as a mage, right? ”

Sophia fell silent, not knowing how to answer.

It is true that if they have enough talent, even without the support of external objects, magicians can progress rapidly, and finally even reach the top to become powerful beings such as great magicians.

But that's only an extremely rare occurrence...... It's not that there will be one level in tens or millions of people, but only one person in tens or hundreds of years!

Even Tio, who was known as the princess of the sky in the Adric Academy, would not have had the help of Sivi's vigorous cultivation at any cost and various magical items. How could it be possible to touch the threshold of the high level in just one year?

Sophia knows this kind of thing better than anyone else. Because her own talent can only be regarded as average, how can she not know how much she has invested to obtain the magic literacy of a middle-level magician now?

In fact, not only her, but almost every student in Edric was studying, spending a lot of resources that would make even the wealthiest magicians jealous, as the price of their meteoric increase in magic.

Maybe these little ones who have only been in school for a year don't know the value of those things, but the well-read Sophia knows it. How terrifying has the amount of resources Edric spent in the past year......

Let's just put it this way. Now several caravans under Adrick can bring a lot of net profits to the academy every year, but these funds can only support the study of a first-line student of Adrick's level at most!

God knows where that guy got so many valuable resources!

Thinking of this, Sophia was also a little gloomy.

Although Sivi is always lazy and lazy on weekdays, unless there are students present. will show a little bit of the majesty of the dean. But she knew it. Sivi always works harder than anyone else. In order to maintain the operation of the college, in order to maintain the prestige of the college, in order to be able to make the future path of the students a little smoother. Sivi has always been in the entire eastern plain...... Even the places she didn't know were busy, and only when she returned to the academy would she relax a little.

Because the academy is his home.

It is precisely because of him that there is always no shortage of alchemy materials and magical items in the store of Adric Academy, and those magical equipment all motivate students to study.

- But that's just the case for the Edric family.

In fact, the vast majority of mages in the Eastern Plains are in a state of poverty.

Of course, poverty does not mean money.

Even beginner mages can get a lot of money in a short period of time, but for mages, money is the least valuable thing, and almost all they need are valuable treasures.

Not only the traveling mage, but even the academic school could not escape this dilemma.

Therefore, when they saw that the Shadow Altar had so many ice-attribute treasures, the two magicians from the Mage Guild would be so excited, and even risked their lives to find more precious treasures.

After all, for Sophia and all the students of Edric Academy, whether it is Extreme Cold Shine Crystal or Frost Heart, they are just goods in the academy store that are marked with a clear price, and they can be bought with enough points, so even if they give up here, it will only be a pity at most. But for those two magicians from the Mage Guild, this may be the only chance in their lives to be able to access this level of heavenly treasures, and it is worth risking even their lives for this!

"There is nothing wrong with the phrase 'opportunities always coexist with dangers'." Seeing Sophia lost in thought, Frey rubbed the cold hilt of her sword on her waist and said slowly, "But they forgot the second half: greed will inevitably lead to ruin. ”

After speaking, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she pulled out her long sword with a bang.

Not only her, but even Franconia stopped what he was doing and looked at the entrance to the ice-free river.

"Frey, what's wrong?"

Elilia naturally knew her squire, and when she saw her expression, she couldn't help blinking her eyes and asked curiously.

"It's not clear, but the subordinates seem to sense an evil force from below."

The Holy Silver Sword Ji's face sank like water, and he replied sternly, "If the perception of the subordinates is not wrong, it is an evil force that is like a rotten mire, filthy and abnormal!" ”

"I'm afraid Miss Frey's induction isn't wrong."

Franconia scratched his head, creaking, and continued, "Although I can't sense the evil power above...... However, the confusion of the following laws seems to have intensified a lot, and it can be seen that something has indeed changed. ”

"In that case, then we have to give up on them. Prepare to seal the entrance! ”

Sophia no longer hesitated when she heard this, and made a decision immediately.

"Theo, please link to the magic ship and supply us with the magic power of the sealing entrance through the Guòqi Star Vein Furnace."

"Understood."

Theo nodded her little head, took out the wand that could be said to be the crystallization of the magic technology of the Adric School of Magic, and whispered a spell, and the blue magic runes began to float around her.

Then a wave of magic power poured into the magic array, causing the originally silent sealing circle to gradually operate.

"Professor Franken, please activate the first to seventh magic nodes of the sealing circle, and begin to restrain and isolate the cold and magic surging below. When it's fully activated, work with me to seal it. ”

"It's my business, Miss Lange."

I don't know if there is something wrong with the vocal cords, the skeleton mage's voice sounded a little sharper, but he didn't care about such a trivial matter, and after making a mage salute to the girl, he began to prepare.

Under his control, the magic array, which had been a little unbalanced due to the influx of magic power, stabilized again.

"Miss Elilia, I've heard Sivi say that your blood can greatly increase the activity of sealing magic and increase the success rate, if you can, can I ask you to contribute a little blood?"

"It's pretty cheap as the cost of this visit."

The original saint of the pure white church stretched out her wrist, which was as white as jade, and without hesitation, she slashed the artery with a small dagger, and silver blood flowed out, dripping on the magic array, making the magic array flash with a more dazzling light.

The strange thing is that the blood is exposed to the extremely low cold, but there is still no limit to freezing.

"Miss Frey...... If something unexpected happens later, can I entrust you with a qiē? ”

Sophia finally looked at the girl who had the title of Holy Silver Sword Queen.

"It's an honor to have your trust."

Frey made a chivalric salute to Sophia.

Then a phantasmaged angel appeared behind her, filling the small room with a divine glow, and in the light of this light, Frey's figure was so resolute that it looked like a silent promise to Sophia.

"So,"

After arranging a qiē, Sophia walked a few steps to the entrance of the ice-free dark river, and shouted loudly as the wind blowing from below ruffled her long bright red hair.

"The seal begins!" (To be continued......)
