Chapter 285: Chessboard World (9)

"Alyssa! Get the others out of there, as soon as possible! ”

Sivi's voice startled Fit, who was lying on the windowsill looking at the chessboard map in the sky, and almost walked through the wall and fell headlong into the dirty alley downstairs.

She puffed up her face and turned her head a little annoyed to reason with Xiwei, but found that Xiwei's face was blue at this time, her hands were tightly clutching the edge of the basin, and her originally slightly delicate face looked a little hideous.

"What's wrong?"

After noticing that Sivi's mood was not normal, Fett immediately floated up to him and asked.

After Xiwei raised his hand and arranged a layer of soundproof enchantment on the quill, he gritted his teeth and said, "It was calculated, it was calculated by the Mage Association!" ”

On the back of his hand, the fateful moment that ordinary people could not perceive had already turned from blue to bright red, and brought Sivi a burning pain.

"What?" Fett asked inexplicably as he looked at the scene in the basin.

By this time, Sivi had barely calmed down by taking a deep breath.

In front of him floated a system information board, which displayed not old information that had not been updated for a long time, but several bright red messages.

[Your student "Riddle? Wise discovered one of the ancient ruins of the "Ember Festival Altar"]

[Your student squad is officially involved in the large-scale mission "Fire Demon Invasion", please prepare everything before the mission begins]

[The large-scale quest "Flame Demon Invasion" has been logged in to the quest panel, please check it later]

After reviewing the task panel, Xiwei had a more intuitive understanding of the current situation.

"Fett, have you ever heard of the 'Ember Festival'?" He asked the Ghost Girl first.

The girl pondered for a while, and then shook her head and said that she had not heard of it.

In fact, after becoming a ghost and losing her brain as a medium to record information, the girl has almost forgotten some unimportant things in her life. If it's not magic, it's more soul perception. I'm afraid that even her knowledge of magic will decline......

Of course, with the Three Sages system as a carrier, this symptom has improved.

"It's a magical organization that existed in mythological times, and when it comes to history, it's older than the White Church. Regardless of race, almost all of its members are fire mages or monsters with fire elemental spell abilities. They roam the land in red robes, worshipping fire and destruction, bringing fear to all living beings. Xiwei turned off the system page and explained to the girl with a serious face: "It's just that this organization in the Age of Mythology has been devastated. It was only after the Great Migration that the descendants of the remnants regained a bit of the climate and formed the 'Red Lotus Church' with the intention of re-establishing people's belief in fire...... It's just that in the end, it disappeared under the extreme omission of its doctrine and the deliberate suppression of the pure white papal see. ”

"What does this have to do with what you said was calculated?"

The more the ghost girl listened, the more confused she became. The most honest asked.

"Because that building (the building shown in the basin of the Xiwei Dynasty) was built by the Red Lotus Holy See." While explaining carefully to the girl, Sivi took the opportunity to sort out and figure out the information he had obtained from the mission introduction: "Judging from the appearance, it should be a closed summoning altar, and there should be similar altars around. ”

This is actually inferred from the word 'one' in the phrase 'one of the 'Burning Ember Altars' was discovered.

"And I don't think that the lights of hundreds of years ago can burn forever and never go out until now, even magic." As he spoke, he also pointed to the light outside the building: "In other words, this is most likely a sign that the altar has been activated!" And the ...... that can start this There is no one else but the Mage Guild! ”

Sivi didn't think that the group of people in the Mage Guild would not even know that there was such an altar under the chessboard world. And if this kind of examination is to be held when the Dao is known and the altar is activated, then their purpose is obvious......

"They...... Do you want to take students as sacrifices?! Fit covered his mouth and screamed.

"Nope. If they needed sacrifices, they wouldn't open this half-plane, and ordinary people wouldn't pay much attention to them even if they died a dozen dozens. If I'm not mistaken, the real purpose of the Mage Guild is to create the illusion that these altars are being activated by students who have strayed in! ”

"I've been surprised by some of the details in this practical assessment," he said with some annoyance, "The lead teacher can enter the half-plane and stay for too long. Ten minutes is enough time for a high-level mage to kill everything alive in a map; Besides, although it is not as good as the teleportation array, the consumption required to open the phase gate of the half-plane is not small, and it is impossible for the Mage Association to be idle and spend money to play; In addition, whether it's the mystery that can get the Freedom Badge, the setting that can snatch someone else's badge, or the public enemy that roams the map, the only thing these settings have is to hinder the students from getting to the end as fast as possible; And then there are the monsters that appear out of nowhere...... If you guessed correctly, they must have been domesticated and used to drive the students to the designated place! ”

"But is it any good for them?"

Fett was still ignorant, and after thinking about it for a long time, she simply changed her direction and asked Xiwei.

"If my inference is correct, this half-plane should have been controlled by the Red Lotus Holy See, and it was a half-plane with two spaces on the outside and inside! They use this half-plane to carry out the act of hiding a large number of 'weapons', and these altars should be the nodes connecting the two spaces on the surface, and if the altar really starts running, the two spaces will be connected, and the 'weapons' located on the inside may appear in the surface space......

As Sivi was spitting and telling Fett the conclusions he had deduced from the task, he found that Fett seemed completely incomprehensible, and he could only sigh and pick up a piece of parchment from the table.

"Using this piece of paper as an analogy, the front side is the chessboard world." He casually drew some squares on the front of the parchment, representing the chessboard world: "The reverse side is a space used by the Red Lotus Holy See as a warehouse and even a manufacturing factory." ”

As he spoke, he also drew some strange-shaped creatures on the back, representing monsters.

This is also the case, as can be seen from the description of the mission. This half-plane is filled with monsters that the Red Lotus Sect originally intended to use as a secret weapon against the Pure White Church. It's just that it is unknown what will be abandoned here in the future.

"Sivi, your painting is really bad......"

The girl looked at the painting drawn by Sivi and couldn't help but nod. Draw a conclusion.

"Long-winded! As a magician, all I need is to be able to draw magic circles! ”

Sivi gave her a blank look and continued to explain: "The front and back are generally impossible to communicate, so they also built an altar to realize the communication between the two spaces. As he said this, Sivi poked a few holes in the paper. Representative Altar: "And after these altars are running, the monsters on the back side can manifest through the altars and invade the main material plane from the front of the relatively thin spatial barrier. Now you get it? ”

The girl shook her head decisively: "According to what you say." It's not a good thing for them for the Mage Guild to do this, is it? Even a fool wouldn't do anything thankless for him. ”

"Although there are two spaces, but after all, they are located in the same half-plane, and the barrier between the two spaces is estimated to be not thick, and it is estimated that there will be a group of monsters from the inner space to the surface space every three or five times, if you can't clear the monsters and even take this opportunity to attack the inner space, and destroy the nest that produces monsters in one fell swoop, even if the Mage Association masters this half-plane, it will be a headache, right?" Sivi threw the parchment into a clump and threw it into the trash: "If you only meet the enemy with the strength of the Mage Guild itself. Although it shouldn't be lost, it will also lose a lot of stalwarts and strength, and it is precisely because of this that it would be great if someone could do it for them, and those candidates for doing it were obviously the students who strayed into the altar and the teachers who led the team...... That's why I said I was calculated. ”

What Sivi said is already very clear. Fett finally understood.

"Let the students and teachers mistakenly think that the students who participated in the assessment have released these monsters, whether it is out of guilt or intending to protect their students, the teacher must consume interference power to fight, and the Mage Association will sit back and enjoy the success, completely take this half-plane into the bag, and actually count all the five hundred magic academies in one go...... However, if this is exposed, the Mage Guild will definitely be discredited, right? ”

"I'm afraid there is no other academy teacher other than me who can recognize the effect of this altar...... They didn't even know what the building was. ”

And with the help of the system, Sivi, who had checked the mission, even knew what would come out of it later. He smiled wryly and said, "Coupled with the fact that the Mage Guild has mastered the most authoritative mouthpiece in the wizarding world, Goddess Pravda, everyone will believe it over there compared to us who are penniless." And it is estimated that all the blame will be put on those students who rushed into the altar in the future...... That's one of the reasons I told Alyssa to get them out of the altar quickly. ”

"Obviously a victim, but in the last case, he was named the culprit......" Fitt had a look of anger and sentimentality on his face.

"So before you don't have the ability to resist, it's a good thing not to let them know the truth."

At this time, Sivi had completely calmed down, and he even had the leisure to notice other aspects - since the Mage Association would let the Pure White Church get involved, it meant that the church was also aware of this, and even ...... This half-plane is the bargaining chip that the Church uses to trade something with the Mage Guild!

Sivi, who always felt as if he had been exposed to something terrible, frowned, sighed, and said to the ghost girl with a complicated expression: "Anyway, now you try to crack the phase key to that half-plane, and give me the address where the leading teacher of the Ixorwen Academy is located." ”

"Even if you can't resist the Mage Guild right away, at least ......" He picked up the basin containing the potion and looked at the chessboard map in the sky outside the window, his eyes revealing a little unwillingness: "At least they can't get their wish so easily!" (To be continued.) )
