Chapter 20: Go Back Alive
It's been a month since she returned from the wetlands, but every night, Katrana still quiets down and admires the shimmering circle in the palm of her hand. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info In the lonely land of Stormwind, Catlana likes to pin her feelings on this special symbol. It made her feel like someone still cared about her, and she wasn't alone.
"If there is danger, crush this magic circle, and I will rush over as soon as possible."
Recalling Rollin's words, Katrana chuckled softly. She lay on the bluestone guardrail on the second floor of the attic, recalling Rollin's pretended indifference and warm-hearted appearance.
"I really don't know what you're worried about, I have no enemies other than political enemies in Stormwind." Katrana muttered a few words before she heard the servant's plea.
Nodding, Katrana returned to her dormitory, she was going to Ironforge tomorrow and needed to rest early.
Missing someone, maybe there will be some kind of strange induction. Luo Lin, who was concentrating on putting the energy ring he had constructed into the skeleton of the magic equipment, was abandoned by this inexplicable and wonderful sneeze.
Nearly fifty failures made Rollin a little numb. He shrugged his shoulders and leaned back in his chair, revisiting his hexagonal magical construct.
After scrutinizing it for a moment, Rollin spoke, "Rest for a while, Gianna. Let's put down the homework in hand. ”
Obediently putting down the book in his hand, Gianna had a smile on his face, he got up and ran from his desk to Rollin's side and said, "Teacher, let's rest for a while, we will go to Sister Winlessa's Ranger camp in the afternoon." We promised her yesterday. ”
"The afternoon itinerary remains the same, by the way, Gianna, how is the spell you studied yesterday." Luo Lin thought that yesterday Gianna wanted to control the water element to form a water baby, but he didn't think that the element was not controlled, and the chaotic magic energy actually poured all the water on Gianna's body.
Pouting, Gianna said a little unhappily, "Teacher, I think you're right." At first, I thought it was right to be different and make a contract with the elements, but the elements didn't communicate with me. Now my thoughts are the same as those of my guru, since I can't control them harmoniously, then I have to forcibly enslave them! ”
Looking at little Gianna's stubborn expression, Rollin nodded, agreeing with Gianna's thoughts.
"Yes, sometimes, thinking differently is the best way to solve a problem."
Hearing the teacher's praise, Gianna took Rollin's hand and walked out of the mage tower.
Coming to the center of the Dawn Square, clear water was sprinkled on the circular discs held by several High Elf statues.
Some of the magic apprentices from the Ice Workshop also studied here, and when Gianna and Rollin came, the students next to them all cast envious glances at Gianna.
In the past, these magic apprentices had been prejudiced against the group of mentors and students, but when they learned of Rollin's identity, their view of Rollin and Gianna changed.
Of course, this also has something to do with Rollin's attitude. In Silvermoon City, as long as an apprentice asks Luo Lin for help with magic knowledge, Luo Lin will always answer patiently.
"Julia, I remember that you used to be a student of the Fire Law Workshop, and now you are a teacher of the Ice Law Workshop." Rollin looked at the familiar girl, and he said with a smile.
It's still the same Rollin as before, although his appearance and personality haven't changed, Julia always feels that the distance between them has become so far away. During the Fire Law Workshop, Julia enjoyed reading in a corner with Rollin, but that was a few years ago.
"Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation, I just completed the switching and learning of the two spell energies last year. Of course, that's not as good as you. Julia said with her head down.
Deliberately creating a barrier between this pleasant conversation, Rollin pressed Julia's shoulder and said, "This is not the Julia I knew before, you were quite confident at that time." I don't think you'd ever say that. ”
Talking to Rollin always relaxes you. Julia pondered for a second, then raised her head and said, "I'm surprised you remember, I don't even know what I was like three years ago." ”
"Teacher, come and see me cast spells!" Gianna watched her mentor come out with her, but talked to other elf girls, and hurriedly shouted.
Shrugging their shoulders, Rollin and Julia walked back.
"Let's get started, Gianna." Rollin said.
Gianna pursed her lips, he looked around, and then calmed down, quietly looking at the clear water in front of him. This time, the mage who condensed the water element could not fail, so many elven magic apprentices looked at him, if he failed, where should the teacher's face go.
A faint brow twitched, and Gianna spread out her small hand, allowing the frost magic element to flow out of her hand.
It was so magical that Gianna was able to divide the water into many parts.
The water element, which had been cut into multiple parts, began to slowly gather under Gianna's guidance. The currents floated in the air and circled.
The melodious sound of running water sounded in Gianna's ears, and she clenched her teeth as she waited for the spell to end.
Thirty seconds was a long time for little Gianna now, but Gianna persevered. In the past thirty seconds, a layer of crystal sweat oozed from her forehead, and her bangs were messy in the wet sweat. But Gianna can't care about these anymore, she wants to show herself in front of the teacher, and she doesn't want the teacher to lose face in front of these students. Gianna wants to prove that she is the best student.
Rising from the ground, a surging stream of water washed up from the fountain's pond, and the water that had been cut into short pieces was also connected by this continuous stream of water. Finally, a mid-level magic was completed in Gianna's hands.
The surrounding students looked at the human girl in amazement, and they sometimes even wondered if the human had a higher talent for magic.
Of course, not all humans are Gianna and Rollin, and the Elven Apprentice's concerns are obviously unnecessary.
Gianna set her eyes on her water baby, looking at this elemental creature with a sleek and streamlined body, she proudly pointed to her water baby, and walked in the direction of the teacher.
Rollin was delighted that Gianna had improved a lot. She was still only a low-level magician, and she was able to use magic that only a mid-level mage could barely learn, which made him proud to be a mentor.
"Very nice, Gianna. I think you can have a whole day of playtime. The reward gives you a break. Rollin said with a smile.
Hearing the break, Gianna's fair little face turned red. The teacher Ken knew that he had dragged Sister Caponia to learn this magic last night and practiced it late into the night.
"Rollin!" The loud voice of the ranger resounded throughout Dawn Square.
This familiar voice, and the practice of not saving face for himself at all, there is only one in the entire Silver Moon City. Rollin turned to look at the Ranger General and said, "Calm down, Ranger General, I need you to speak slowly." ”
Sylvanas jumped off the purple swift chocobo and sprinted all the way to Rollin's side. Contrary to the loud voice just now, Sylvanas whispered a few words to Rollin's ear.
His happy face instantly became serious, and Rollin pulled Gianna over, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Go back to the Mage Tower and review your afternoon homework well." By the way, tell Sister Valella that you don't have to be mine at night, you can just eat. ”
Knowing that the teacher was going to be busy again, but Gianna was very sensible, she didn't ask anything, and after nodding obediently, Gianna waved her hand to her water baby, and then walked towards the way back to the Mage Tower.
Without the help of chocobos, Rollin went directly to the vicinity of the lumberyards in the northern lands of Lordaeron with Sylvanas through the teleportation circle.
The rangers surrounded the place, and they protected the scene well.
In the dense forest, there is a hint of rot. Rollin approached the deep pit, and he found that around the deep pit were dense with rotten roots and tentacles.
Not only that, but on several poplar trees around the big pit, purple sap flows. These saps, like viscous blood, dripped on the meadow, and the sound of sneering like the cry of a wild beast came from the land.
"What are these, Rollin?" Sylvanas covered her nose and approached the location of the pit.
Lorin stood in front of Sylvanas, leaning down and placing his finger on one of the tentacles.
A sticky touch enveloped Rollin's fingers, and then a reverse current of shadows swarmed out of the pit.
With a premonition, Luo Lin opened his hands vigilantly, and with a powerful elemental bombardment, Luo Lin used the arcane enhancement to expand the power of his Dragon Breaking Slash Technique by fourteen times.
A series of bombardments reached the interior of the deep crater, and after the violent explosion, the smoke of gunpowder drifted out of the inside of the crater.
"Corrupt creatures, these things, buried deep in the ground of our world, they are called the Elder Gods." Luo Lin looked at the big crater that had just passed through the explosion, but was still intact, and said calmly.
Putting aside the shadow power leaking from these pits, Rollin set his eyes on the surroundings of this pit.
Sure enough, the meticulous Rollin found some black-purple inscriptions around the pit. Some magical inscriptions beyond Rollin's comprehension.
Someone summoned these creatures here, Rollin thought for the first time.
"When our rangers came here, did they only find this pit?" Rollin turned to Sylvanas and asked.
The Ranger General glanced at Santis and waved his hand, allowing the Ranger to lean in.
"No, Archmagus, we saw a couple of lumberjacks when we came here. However, they were all frightened by the sight and fled. Santis said, looking at a trail to the south.
Nodding, Rollin followed the path and walked forward.
"Why are these weird and evil creatures here? There's no reason why we elves have lived here for thousands of years, and it's the first time we've found anything like this. Sylvanas asked, puzzled.
Regarding the question of the Ranger General, Rollin could not explain it. He focused on finding the bodies of the lumberjacks. Because, in Luo Lin's thinking, these humans who saw the appearance of the pit would not continue to live well.
Sure enough, Sylvanas' keen snort was the first to spot the corpses of these humans. They were thrown into a depression in the ground, and the stacked corpses were covered with tentacles.
The smell of decay irritated the nostrils and magisters, and Sylvanas took off her golden bow, she looked around, alert for danger around her.
Suddenly, after seeing these corpses, Luo Lin felt as if he had been washed to the head by ice water. He pulled Sylvanas and immediately teleported back to the Ranger's camp.
"Santis!" Sylvanas stepped out of the teleportation circle, and she watched as Santis, wrapped around her neck with her rotten beard, struggling in pain.
The tentacles in the pit spread throughout the forest. It seems to want to completely corrupt this area into the territory of the ancient gods.
Sylvanas didn't hesitate, she drew her longbow and threw dozens of arrows in an instant.
The magic arrows with the flame miniature circle instantly burst on the tentacles that spread out, and purple blood mist sprayed, and Santis and the seven rangers next to him were all saved.
Sylvanas thought that was the end of it, but after the tentacles were broken by her, the pit began to swell and expand.
Rollin used a spell to set up the rescued rangers at the back of the camp, and he sensed that something was not quite right.
"Yikes!" Sylvanas covered her ears with the screams of pain from the pit. Rollin, on the other hand, stood in the midst of the storm of blood mist erupting from the pit, watching the Elder God's body extend to the surface.
Thick, narrow tentacles suddenly stretched out from the deep pit, and with the terrifying and endless shadow power, they rained wildly over the clearing of the forest.
The power of the shadows from the ground was released from the massive tentacle, radiating like a point of light into the entire area within the ring.
The forces of the Shadows took over, and a human in a purple robe and a black hood emerged from the Shadow Storm.
Rollin was surprised, for he had just noticed the human.
"The ceremony went well, Grand Magister Rollin. I think you should hide in Silvermoon City with these rangers to stay out of this trouble. A shrill voice came from beneath the deep black hood, a human blending into the shadows, warning Rollin.
Rollin didn't know who the enemy was in front of him, and he could only guess that it was this human who summoned this tentacle from the depths of the earth.
"I think you know better than I do what you've summoned. Mage! ”
Hidden in the shadows, the mage thinks he's safe. He shouted to Rollin, "Of course, the Grand Magus. But it's a pity that I may not let you go back alive today. (To be continued.) )
