Chapter 16: Fragments of the Soul of the Elder King

Harold stood on the knife face and slept for a total of three hours, from the time he closed his eyes to the time he opened, going back an hour in time.

If there is such a thing as good or bad luck, then Lilina Sain Allison must be a man of good luck.

She landed on her buttocks, so she didn't suffer any real damage other than a hot pain on her delicate buttocks.

Then, after two hours of exploration, Lilina had reached the center of the underground labyrinth, and the end of the entire labyrinth.

She'd just used the Portable Crystal to get in touch with Edith, but she couldn't get in touch with Harold (who was sleeping).

The use of magic crystals with a communication function will continue to consume mana (the power of transmitting sound is greater than that of transmitting words), although Lilina's own mana reserves are still extremely large, but she doesn't know Edith's current situation now, so she doesn't talk nonsense, and goes straight to the point.

"This labyrinth is a labyrinth of dead ends. I walked inside for a while, then thought about reconstructing the path, and found that there was no exit to the outside of the labyrinth. So I moved closer to the center of the labyrinth, and sure enough, I found something interesting here. ”

There was silence for a while.

"What about that guy? Lily, haven't you been in touch either? ”

When Lilina heard this, she smiled slightly, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and she thought, "Sure enough! Senior Sister Xiaoyi is not honest at all, or she didn't find out herself. ”

"Sister Xiaoyi, don't worry! The predecessor was a cat, and he had nine lives, so maybe he had already made his way to the central part of this underground labyrinth. Sister, how are you doing? ”

"Wow, it's not good, I sprained my right ankle. But I'll get closer to the center of the maze as soon as possible. ”

"Then senior sister, please be vigilant, now that we are scattered, we can't help each other."

"I understand, the contact spell on the magic crystal has been lifted first."

"Hmm."

The two sides aborted contact, and the square area with only one entrance returned to calm, and Lilina calmly took out her pen and paper, carefully transcribed the ancient dwarven language carved on the wall, and then carefully put it back in her pocket, ready to find a way to decipher it when she got out.

She also has more important things to crack, such as the game of chess in front of her.

In front of him, the chessboard is carved on a square stone block that is connected to the ground and half a meter above the ground. The black pieces are facing the entrance, and the white pieces are on the inside, which is different from the chess pieces that Lilina and Harold played in the room before, but they are both fifteen by fifteen squares, and it seems that there is some connection between the two.

The pieces were made of metal and dyed black and white, but Lilina was able to tell that they were dwarven alloys, apparently dwarven objects.

The scene of this game of chess has entered the endgame, and the situation of black chess is very bad.

"The people who set up such an agency are really ..... Well, if you use the words of your predecessors, it's 'pretending'. ”

Lilina stared at the game, and although she didn't know how to play each piece, she looked at the endgame, reconstructed the situation at the beginning of the game in her mind, and then reversed the way the pieces played.

Of course, in order to derive better, she renamed the chess pieces according to the shape of the chess pieces.

"The 'witch' of the current endgame is here, so the opening should be in this position." Lilina tapped the feminine chess piece with her hands crossed over her shoulders with her white fingers, and then slowly moved her fingertips until they hit one direction at a time.

"'Hunter' words, huh..... Over here. ”

"'Axeman', it will be in this position."

"Hmm, 'Inquisitor.'"

Lilina is another point.

.............

Ten minutes later, Lilina had already reshaped the position of the opening of the game in her mind, and after that, she reversed the way of each move.

After that, it's the turn to crack the disadvantaged endgame.

Lilina looked down at the chessboard and thought for a long time, she pinched the "witch" of the black chess piece and moved it four squares to the upper left.

From inside the chessboard came the sound of staggered gears.

The "shrine maiden" sank into the chessboard, and the opponent's "werewolf" moved to the original position of the "shrine maiden".

Lilina took a breath, her excitement suppressed.

The black "inquisitor" returned to the defense and blocked the way of the white "werewolf".

This time, the white "witch" pulled forward and threatened the black "king".

One last step.

The black "axeman" pulls back and draws out the white "witch".

At this point, the balance of power on the chess board is back to the balance.

With a "click", the half of the area where the black pieces were located sank into an inclined staircase that led deeper into the ground.

"It's a pity that the seniors and seniors are gone! Uh-huh! Lilina stinted a little and held her little breasts up. Although it is impossible to win in this situation, it must be a draw in the end, well, it is true that according to the idea of a draw, it is right. ”

Before entering this staircase, Lilina used two spells.

"O elf hidden in the wind, light my way!" Lilina first used a "magic light ball" to illuminate it.

"The enchantment of thunder is woven into a net to protect my body!" Then, he used a "Thunder Light Enchantment" to protect his surroundings.

Eventually, she walked deeper underground without looking back, ready to explore the larger space.

However, within a few minutes, Lilina was surprised.

"It's too small! It's about the size of two dormitories. ”

And in the center of this underground dark room, there is a small square altar with a round ball emitting cyan light on it.

Lilina is a super bold and curious girl, but she's also very cautious.

So after discovering this ball of light, she took a few steps back, raised her finger and fired a "thunder arrow" at the ball of light, but this "thunder arrow" disappeared as soon as it touched the glowing sphere.

"Is this some kind of protective magic? Or is it some kind of sealing magic? Lilina's golden eyes were like a bright moon in the darkness, radiating a strange brilliance.

Lilina, who has a high sense of magic, senses that there is some kind of grand magic factor hidden in this space, and she suddenly has an urge in her heart to try her best to crack this unknown ancient magic.

Use your own eyes to see as much as possible all the things in the world that you have never been in contact with before.

After all, time is running out, and there may never be such an opportunity again.

So don't worry too much about the consequences of cracking.

"The great Father of Stardust who dwells in the firmament! The Inquisitor who walks the border between light and darkness! ”

Lilina chanted the first incantation, and as she chanted, the air began to vibrate, and a ray of lightning began to flood the air.

"I ask you of my will!"

A complex azure magic circle began to appear under Lilina's feet, and the cold color made this girl who had always been relatively out of the box also full of solemn temperament.

"Please use the thunder chariot that roams the sky!"

"Use the lightning spear that was born on the border between light and darkness to my advantage!"

"Be the light of judgment! A scepter of punishment! ”

"Crush the arrogance in the shadows!"

"Eradicate the mystery of vanity!"

"Pronounce the sentence!"

With the end of the last spell, a fully embodied circle formed at Lilina's feet, with Lilina as the core, this small space was filled with the light of thunder and lightning.

Lilina's chant is the high-level magic of the lightning system, the "Thunder Scepter", which can theoretically destroy all spells, but the higher the level of the spell destroyed, the greater the mana consumption will be on the caster.

Although this high-level magic has a fatal shortcoming, it is especially useful against large magic circles and other types of high-level magic, and if the caster's mana reserves are far above the opponent's magician, he can use this trick to offset any tricks of the opponent and completely suppress the opponent's casting.

Although the sealing spell attached to the orb is very powerful, Lilina's magic reserves are very amazing, and when she first came to this academy a year ago for preparatory studies, she was secretly called "the chosen daughter" by her teachers, "a magical genius favored by the gods".

Now, Lilina is using her vast magic power to destroy the ancient spells attached to the orb at some point.

"Solution!"

After a long time, beads of sweat began to form on Lilina's head, and with her soft snort, the orb dimmed and no longer emitted light.

The magic crystals on the pillars around the altar suddenly lit up.

Lilina finally saw what the orb was.

"Eggs?? This is the dwarf dwarf palace of the ancients, could it be that the dwarves in ancient times were oviparous? That's a lot of fun. ”

Just as Lilina couldn't help but complain in her heart, the egg suddenly stirred and made a sound, as if the creature in it was about to break out of its shell.

In just a few seconds, with a "click", the eggshell shattered, and a creature the size of the girl's palm emerged from the eggshell.

The golden pupil stared at the golden pupil.

It was a small creature wrapped in white scales, with a pair of small wings as thin as cicada wings, and the same color as Lilina's eyes, with a pair of golden eyes.

"Dragon! Isn't this a dragon? Like the ancient dwarves, legendary creatures that mysteriously disappeared over thousands of years. ”

"Why do dwarves have dragon eggs in their dungeons? It's amazing. ”

Just as Lilina was puzzled, the young dragon flapped its wings and flew up, landing firmly on Lilina's shoulder, rubbing its little head against the girl's delicate cheek affectionately.

"Huh, huh? Huh! ”

The girl blinked, feeling that she was in a lot of trouble.
