Chapter 459: Ethereal Spirit (3/4)
"I, I...... I do not know! Madean scratched his head, looking distressed, not knowing what to do.
In fact, he would love to get the chicken leg staff, because it was the staff used by his grandmother and father, a legendary staff that even he had heard of.
But he also knew that such a staff was very precious, and the fragments were all made by Jiang Zai, and it was also repaired by Jiang Zai who killed the demon, so to put it simply, it is now someone else's.
Although people say they want to give it to themselves, why should they take it? He is not a person who takes advantage of others for nothing, and his skin is not so thick-skinned.
Above all, Merry was against.
Although he has been having trouble with Merry these days, in fact, he has been listening to Merry for more than ten years and treating Merry as his father and mother. He knew that Merry's decision must be for his good, so he hesitated.
"Looks like you haven't figured it out yet. But it doesn't matter, it's still a long time, you can think slowly. ”
Jiang Zai smiled, and then looked at Meili: "Master Meili, let's continue up?" Since we want to purify Karazhan, of course we need to figure out the current situation of this tower...... By the way, all the hidden dangers inside were cleared. ”
Merry nodded.
The group continued upwards.
The Guardian's library was so large that it took them a full ten minutes to get out of here.
Jiang Zheng looked up and saw that there were broken walls everywhere above his head, as well as broken walls floating in the sky because of unknown powers, and all of this was different from what he saw from the outside.
Looking up, the tower above looked as if it had been completely shattered, and it was impossible for any room to exist. But keep going up and you'll see new rooms appear, which is so weird, I don't know if it's the room hidden by spells, or if, in fact, every step they take, they're traveling through a different time and space.
There are spell enchantments everywhere, although the storage energy of the game warehouse is a lot, but it can't withstand squandering, if you scan and analyze wherever you go, I'm afraid Jiang Zai can't even leave the library, and the energy will be consumed.
In this tower, there are traces of spells everywhere, and the internal space is ten times larger than the outside, Jiang Zai suspects that the broken tower body he saw when he looks up is probably no longer in this world, but is distorting the void.
Moving on, all sorts of terrible spells suddenly appeared!
Ice Arrow, Fireball, Blizzard, Slowdown, Sheep Transformation......
There is no end to all kinds of spells, there are spell turbulences everywhere, arcane condensations everywhere, and ...... everywhere
Shadow of Spell!
This creature, which looks somewhat similar to the Arcane Minions, is a pure energy creature, a spell entity produced by the past, present, and future, various spells of different time and space, under the effect of Karazan's special space-time force field.
Every spell shadow here can be cast continuously, and of course each spell shadow represents a spell, and only this spell can be used.
Looks like an easy deal with?
The problem is, there are so many Spell Shadows here!
The higher you go, the more spell shadows there are.
When they left the corridor and came to a separate library, the shadow of spells instantly increased, and there were at least thirty small rooms!
In the face of these spell shadows, although Jiang Zheng can deal with them, it is more troublesome to deal with, so everything is handed over to Mai De'an.
Yes, Maidan.
Merry wasn't going to make a move.
Mai Dean's graduation exams as a mage's apprentice are not over yet, and dealing with these spell shadows and quelling the arcane turbulence is a great test of a mage's ability, and is the best graduation exam, far more effective than any theory exam.
No one else is allowed to do anything.
So, they walked very slowly.
Fortunately, Mai De'an's basic skills are very solid, although he has not yet become a teacher, but in fact, his magic attainments have reached the level of a high-level mage, and he is not too far from the archmage.
"Avena, come along." Jiang Zai said lightly.
Anvena had spent too much time studying spells, less than a year after a full fight.
But she herself is the essence of the Well of Eternity, manipulating energy is simply instinctive, and she learns magic very quickly, and although she is even worse than Maidean, she is actually not far behind.
The two of them are side by side, you and I are one by one, so it's not lively.
These spell shadows are endless, and it can be said that as long as Karazhan is still there, as long as this is still the place where time and space meet, then these spell shadows can never be completely destroyed.
New spell shadows are constantly emerging, and surviving in this mage tower is a dangerous thing in itself. The lower tower is fine, but the upper tower is too dangerous, not to mention ordinary people, even if it is a mid-level mage with good strength, or even a high-level mage, it is not an easy task to pass through the blockade of these spell shadows, and if you are not careful, you will die.
The higher you go, the fewer books there are on the shelves.
When they reached a new room, the Shadow of the Spell was no longer visible, but they saw some looming, seemingly absent bandage figures.
These disembodied creatures, whose bodies appear to burn with pink flames and whose bodies are immobilized in bandages, are called "Ethereal Spirits".
Ethereals are creatures from the twisted void and astral travelers who travel through the chaotic universe and are known for their passion for collecting and trading magical items and artifacts.
Of course, they don't actually want that.
The Ethereals are a race of powerful technology and magic, originally living on a planet called "Karesh".
However, later, the planet was destroyed by a terrifying creature called Dimentius, the Devourer of Worlds, and the ethereal spirit was destroyed by the constant influx of Void energy and arcane energy, turning it into a combination of soul, void energy, and arcane energy, and had to be fixed with enchanted bandages.
Otherwise, they're just a mass of energy.
This race has been floating in the starry sky for thousands of years, some have formed the "Astral Consortium" under the leadership of the Node Prince, some have formed small-scale groups, but more ethereal spirits have become hateful thieves.
Unlike goblins, Ethereals are less enthusiastic about ordinary wealth, preferring mysterious treasures with magical properties.
Karazan connects countless planes, and there are also ethereal spirits here.
Such a mage tower was originally the favorite of the ethereal spirits!
Why is it that the bookshelves here are almost empty, and less than a third of the books are left on them, and they are all magic books guarded by powerful spells?
Apparently, the rest of the books have been taken away by the Ethereals!
Each part of Karazan is self-contained, and while it doesn't seem to be enclosed, it's actually cut off by various spell enchantments.
So whether it is a ghost or a chaste saint, they can only stay within a certain range.
Want to go somewhere else?
Yes, you have to be like Jiang Zai, who has the Karazan Key and becomes a "distinguished guest" of this mage tower, except for a few places, all other places will be open for you;
Or, like Merry, who has strong enough magical power to be willing to spend time cracking these spell barriers!
Obviously, these Ethereal Thieves don't have either of these conditions, plus there are endless spell shadows in their way, so they can only be trapped in this area, spending a lot of time cracking the powerful spells on the magic books.
Jiang Zheng's arrival naturally caused hostility among the ethereal spirits.
Jiang Zheng originally wanted to have a good chat with them, understand the ethereal spirit race, and by the way, get in touch with this mysterious and powerful race, but he didn't expect that these ethereal spirit thieves ignored him at all and launched an attack directly!
You are unkind, and I am unjust.
So, it was time for Avena and Mai Dean to perform.
The Ethereal Spirits race, because it is a combination of soul, void energy, and arcane energy, can cast spells, and also has special abilities such as "Leap" and "Phase Shift", which is difficult to deal with.
There have been no ethereal spirits in other places in Azeroth, that is, Karazan, because of the intersection of time and space, the ethereal spirits came here unexpectedly, so even Merry has never seen these mysterious creatures, and even listened, he has never heard of them.
So, even Merry took action, wanting to catch one and study it well.
Unfortunately, these ethereal thieves would rather die than give in, and Merry had no choice but to give up.
As they walked on, they saw a dragon when they came to another large separate room.
A blue, illusory dragon that doesn't seem to exist at all.
