Chapter Two Hundred and Three: The Unexpected Mastermind
The mountains are undulating, the woodland is sparse, and as the altitude rises, the temperature around becomes colder. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info To make matters worse, clouds were accumulating on the hills, and the moist and thin air made it harder to breathe.
Ryan began to thank this body for its stubbornness, if it weren't for the military standards of the Dragon Guard Regiment when he was in Horncreek City before, he would have been half exhausted from climbing these two mountains.
This is it, right?
Looking at the silent castle complex in front of him, Ryan breathed a long sigh of relief, unhurriedly drew his weapon, and carefully applied the exorcist sword oil boy to the blade.
The effect of sword oil is similar to that of holy water, but it lasts longer, even in high-intensity battles, it can last for more than half an hour. Not only does the Exorcism Sword Oil increase Ryan's attack on spirits, but it also brings 1 additional arcane damage to each hit target, which can effectively contain the Golem's construct, and if you're lucky, it can even paralyze part of the magical construct's body for a short time.
Of course, the odds are similar to winning the lottery.
Ready, Ryan didn't rush forward, raised his hand to release the detection magic, and looked forward intently. I saw that as the faint light in his hand spread into the distance, wisps of dark blue clouds appeared in front of him, condensing but not dissipating, enveloping the entire complex.
Although the inside of the old campus is a forbidden area, due to the large difference between the concentration of magic inside and outside, it is easy to produce magic turbulence on the periphery of the forbidden area, that is, these dark blue magic clouds in front of you.
The magic of chaos haunts the old campus, and with a single 0-ring detection magic, Ryan can't assess the situation on the old campus.
Pulling out a transparent light blue potion from his waist bag, Ryan simply tilted his head and poured it into his mouth, only to see a layer of azure mist quickly appear in the dark eyes of the half-elf.
The Demon Eye, which allows everything to have vision against magic, is a very useful support potion for spellcasters or situations like the current one.
Wisps of magic were entangled, like a nebula, almost enveloping the entire old campus, but it also stopped at almost.
With the passage of time, the scope of the forbidden area has shrunk significantly, and the concentration of magic power in most of the remaining areas of the old campus is no different from the outside world.
However, as Woodlaw said, these seemingly safe areas are far more dangerous than the forbidden areas.
The high walls of the old campus were covered with moss, and it was obvious that the maintenance spell had long since failed, and there was no trace of magic nearby, Ryan nodded lightly and lifted his robe, revealing the soul binding cord around his waist.
Silently flipping onto the wall, Ryan was stunned by what he saw.
Not that it's chaotic, on the contrary, the streets are clean and the gardening trees on the roadside are lush but well-manicured.
The front and back of the wall, the completely different appearance, made Ryan hesitate in place for a while. Except for the gloom brought about by the long-term unpopularity, the old campus is actually similar to the tutor area of Shining Star Castle.
Falling like an eagle, Ryan unloaded his robe and disappeared into the intricate streets like a ghost.
Somewhere in Shining Star Castle, the dim underground was damp and cold, and the torches placed in a ring emitted a faint glow, and figures of various heights were clustered in it.
A mentor with a cloak covering his face walked to the center, and as he placed the infusion crystals in the corners of the circle, a surging magical force suddenly set off a storm in the space.
Starting from the base of the surrounding torches, the blue magic aura suddenly appeared, like a galloping long snake, quickly extended, hovering and staggering under everyone's feet, and soon turned into a huge and complex blue ** magic circle.
"After this assignment, I believe you all know your shortcomings."
"You are all the elites of the academy, and you are the hope of Shining Star Castle in the future, but a lot of things have happened recently, and there is not enough time for you to study in a down-to-earth manner."
"Although this operation was tacitly approved by the Academy, it is still not in accordance with the rules."
"And the road ahead is more dangerous than you think, and it is possible to never go back."
"Therefore, the choice is yours to go or not to go."
Facing the other party's harsh gaze, all the students did not retreat. Nodding with satisfaction, the mysterious mentor raised his hand and held it in the air, the vast magic power quickly rose into the air under the convergence of the magic circle, the surrounding fire vibrated violently, and as he recited the incantation, all the flames were instantly extinguished, but the light nearby did not diminish in the slightest.
I saw wisps of visible magic surging from all directions, quickly gathering in front of the mysterious mentor. As the latter stretched out his hand forward, the magical storm shook violently, turning into a huge whirlpool.
As soon as the spell in the mouth of the mysterious mentor ended, the huge portal finally took shape in front of everyone, and the flow of magic in the center gradually stabilized, like a constantly fluctuating water surface, showing a vague scene on the opposite side.
"Remember, while magic can't be used in the Forbidden Zone, it's also the safest place on the other side."
"Every three days at noon, I will open the portal, and the tenth day will be the last, so make sure of your time."
"Now, let's go!"
As soon as the words ended, the mages walked into the portal without saying a word, and as the wind and waves of magic swept through the hood of the mysterious master, strands of golden hair flashed through the space.
When all the academies entered the portal, the mysterious mentor stretched out his hand, and the vast magic power instantly vanished, and a little light blue starlight drifted away, touching the extinguished torch, which was suddenly rekindled again.
However, after only a moment of darkness, another figure appeared in this space, and if Ryan was there, he would definitely be surprised to keep his mouth shut.
Lifting his hood, Woodlaw bared his trademark fangs and bowed to the figure in front of him: "In order to ensure that this operation is carried out in secret, the surveillance and alarm system at the former site of Shining Star has been removed, and as you can imagine, Ryan's entry was not detected by the Morning Star Wizard. ”
"Really? That couldn't be better. Without looking back, the mysterious mentor lifted his hood, and his shoulder-length golden hair could not be concealed even by the darkness around him.
"Archmage Lancestel, with all due respect, I don't understand, why do you have to let Ryan in? The magic alarm of the old site alone can't stop you in your way, so why do it? Woodlaw looked at where the portal had disappeared, and made no secret of the confusion on his face.
After a brief moment of silence, Lancedel's deep magnetic voice made one want to hear him continue: "He and we both need an outcome, and it is fitting that he should uncover this secret, in any way." ”
"Understood." Woodlaw clearly knew something about the 'secret' in Lancedel's mouth, and quickly reacted, nodding his head and saying no more.
