Chapter 256: A Pact with the Devil
"This thing isn't Ariel's primary ore, I've never seen an alloy like this, where did you get it?"
"Sir, that's amazing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Although the other party can easily identify the approximate origin of the fragment, Ryan himself is not particularly clear, naturally there is no way to solve his doubts, except for knowing that Kemath used it to destroy a legendary piece of equipment, "I picked it up, I only know that this thing has the characteristics of breaking demons and sharpness, and it seems that the difficulty of melting is very high, and I don't know anything else." ”
"Picked up? Boy, you're in such a good life. Keith Cherson certainly didn't believe Ryan's claim, but he didn't dig deeper, carefully holding the fragment and prick it on the workbench, only to see a small hole visible to the naked eye appear in it.
"it!" Keith Scielson let out a cry of exclamation, and then stroked the scar on the workbench with great heartache, looking at the fragment in his hand that was both love and hate.
"Ahem, sir, do you think this is okay?" Seeing this, Ryan hurriedly shifted his focus, for fear that he would raise the price of himself or throw away the fragments in a fit of anger.
"Haha, although it's a little difficult, but I don't think it's a problem, I haven't encountered such a strange alloy in so many years, boy, count yourself lucky, I don't charge for this part." As he spoke, Keith Cherson carefully placed the fragment in a corner of the workbench and immediately began to draw a model of the structural recast.
Seeing that the other party began to work, Ryan slowed down and slowly exited the room.
At the site of Fort Shining Star, after Lester's death, the original magic turbulence seemed to have lost its backbone and gradually disappeared with the wind, and those steel golems also lost their power due to the loss of mana, and were discarded on the side of the road like broken copper.
The most unbearable thing is obviously the corpses of beetles everywhere, which decay and decay at a rapid rate under the ruthless erosion of time.
Despite the stench, a mysterious figure wrapped in a cloak appeared.
His feet did not touch the ground, but he walked like a fly, and in a blink of an eye, he had already crossed countless corpses and came to the collapsed Salonrose Mage Tower.
As he raised his hands in the air, his deep voice slowly chanting obscure and complex incantations, he saw the air in front of him suddenly writhe. An invisible central point suddenly erupted with a strong gravitational force, and the air, light, everything was attracted to it, and instantly turned into a huge black vortex.
"Who is it?!" A heavy roar resounded through the sky, and the dust that had been blowing in the wind seemed to be afraid of the existence behind the portal, and they immediately fell, trembling and buried deep in the corpse.
"Mortal, I remember your damn stench!" The huge pincers stuck at the edge of the portal, and as the Enchanter pushed it to both sides, the pitch-black portal expanded again, "You and your companions have imprisoned us for hundreds of years! ”
"Today, I'm going to ...... you"
"Shut up, demon!" The deep voice suddenly screamed, and an invisible force slammed into the body of the seduction, who suddenly erupted into a wail and fell directly from behind the portal.
"Tell me why your master didn't answer my call." Although it is hidden by the hood, the seduction demon knows what kind of angry face the other party will be under the shadows.
The abyss has always been respected for its strength, and the other party's complete crushing of its own strength made the seductive demon no longer arrogant, the latter prostrate on the ground, and even his voice became a little weaker: "The master has been hit hard, and now he is still recovering." ”
"It's rubbish." Shaking his head, the black-robed mage's tone was full of disdain. Although the seduction demon was angry, the wisdom of ordinary people told him that it was best to remain silent at this time.
"When your master is resurrected, give this to him, and if he agrees to my terms, I can bring you back into this world. Otherwise, I will tear that plane apart with my own hands, and you, too, will be exiled in the Twisted Void for eternity! Throwing a crystal ball the size of a fist, the black-robed mage's body twisted and twisted, and disappeared in an instant under the light of teleportation magic, leaving only the words that went straight to the soul, which continued to surround the ears of the seductive demon, who couldn't help but lie even lower.
After not hearing movement for a long time, the seductive demon dared to raise his head, and his thin arm picked up the crystal ball, and his scarlet eyes continued to flicker with an inexplicable light.
Instead of bringing destruction to the surroundings as usual, the seduction demon stepped directly into the shrinking portal as if he was afraid of the other party's return.
The black light flashed, and the entire peak of Shining Star Peak was quiet again, at least, on the surface.
As time passed, the large-scale decline of the elite students of Shining Star Castle at the old site gradually attracted the attention of others, and the good deeds slowly found out the truth through various channels.
Of course, it seems that Shining Star Castle did not deliberately hide it, and after the punishment of Kemas was posted on the notice board, almost everyone exploded.
‘…… In violation of the rules of the Academy, Kemas carried out a life-threatening attack on the students, destroyed the relics of the former Morning Star, and decided by the Morning Star Council to deprive him of all his property in the Academy as compensation, give him expulsion, and transfer him to Sambia for trial at a later date......
As a first-year freshman who only recently entered the students' sights, it has to be said that it was too unexpected for Kemas to enter and threaten the elite team.
At the same time, this announcement also pushed Ryan to the forefront.
Although the rumors were a little different, the students were surprised to find that this half-elf who had only entered the academy half a year ago was actually running through the whole incident. And no one knows his purpose and origin.
Becoming a celebrity is a hard job, especially for Ryan, who has never been a showman. Come to think of it, it's too awkward to have a large group of people talking about themselves behind your back even when you have a meal.
Therefore, Ryan locked himself in the laboratory during this time, dispensing potions and learning new spells during the day, and went to Woodlaw at night to learn some secrecy.
The life of living in seclusion has finally lowered the attention of the outside world, and at the same time, it has also made those who want to find him lose their direction.
"Ryan, are you there?"
As soon as a vial of weak troll blood was sealed, the half-elf heard Patrick's eager knock on the door, and with a wave of his hand, the mage's hand directly pulled the door open.
The first thing that caught sight was Patri's excited face, and beside him, a long red hair came into view.
"Sophia?! How did you come here? The action of packing the potion into a box made Ryan smile on his face.
"Well, I have some personal matters I want to tell you." Smiling shyly, the girl glanced at Patri, who was staring straight at her.
If it was usual, the latter would definitely understand what she meant, but now that looks like a god, I'm afraid he won't even react to the end of the world.
"Ahem." With a heavy cough, Ryan's action finally drew Patrie's attention back, and the latter reacted when he saw him looking in the direction of the gate, and then reluctantly walked out.
"Your friend, that's funny......" The embarrassed look on Sophia's face became more and more obvious when she said such a disobedient word.
"Young man, it's normal to see a beautiful woman who can't hold it." While cleaning up the clutter on the table, Ryan joked with the other party.
His joke made Sophia a lot easier: "You can't be convinced at all when you say this, how come I've never seen you unable to hold it?" ”
"Huh? If you don't mind, I'd love to. Although the words were frivolous, the smile on Ryan's face did not feel obscene at all, and the upright appearance made Sophia happy.
"Let's get down to business, then." Reaching out to the chair in front of her, she motioned for the other person to sit down, and Ryan poured her a cup of tea.
