Chapter Twenty-Five: A Secret Occasion Underground
Modern science is full of people who want to push the limits of life every day, and the wizarding world certainly doesn't lack such ideas, and there is no shortage of immortal creatures.
In addition to the study of biological weapons, breaking through the limit of life span is another purpose, in addition to many political and political considerations, in order to achieve the goal, this organization can be said to be unscrupulous. In order to carry out human realization, they pretend to be sand thieves in the desert to attack passing teams. When they go too far, Analos and Melnia will send troops to encircle and suppress them, and then the mourning bird will shrink back and let the sand thieves on the periphery take the blame, and continue to commit crimes when the limelight has passed.
Mephis inquired in detail about the location of the real yàn room and the sand thief stronghold, and now this person hesitated for a while and said that he didn't know the location of the real yàn room, only knew the sand thief stronghold, and said that he could live?
"Of course you can resist to the end, I don't mind."
"Well, what do you want to know?"
"The location and formation of the sand pirate stronghold, how many weapons are hidden there?"
The man was dejected and explained one by one, and Mephis picked up the flower pot from the windowsill without saying a word, and the mage said in horror that he would not kill anyone. Then the vase fell on his head, but a vase smashed his head and broke the blood, this man was stunned and didn't faint, Mephis only needed to bring a vase over, and this time he was finally stunned.
Heviel suddenly misunderstood something and was about to settle the problem with a knife in her hand, but Mephis grabbed her hand quickly.
"Wait, I said I wouldn't kill him."
"Don't you mean to let me do it? I am a magician and am not a human being. ”
"First of all, you are in the category of people, I hope you think the same way, and then this person is still useful."
Mephis wants to put a long line to catch a big fish, the magic guide is clever and lifeless, ordinary detection magic is useless to Hevier, plus Heviel itself is highly mysterious (high mystery = high technology), only high-level detection magic can work on her, Mephis from this mage's table, I don't think the other party will be so cautious.
"Really don't kill him?"
"You hide and follow him later, I want to know where their lair is, don't act without permission when you find out, and wait for me to come back."
Hevier doesn't like to be tracked and on standby, and always feels that the battle should be carried out in a dignified manner, and the sneaky one is too cheap, so she is psychologically reluctant.
"Again, well, I'll follow."
"By the way, the other party is an organization in the form of a magical association, so maybe you can find something with high magic power in the base."
"Oooh! Just thinking about it makes me feel motivated! ”
There are many events related to the mourning bird in the game, such as the real yàn and the sand thieves in the desert, as well as the appearance of the wither, and the subsequent disappearance of civilians in the city, and other investigative missions are endless, and even the hospital has their people to persuade those who are seriously ill to use unknown new drugs in order to test the effects of the drugs.
Thinking about it so much, Mephis still thinks that it is better to transport Phippley out first, and now that he has his plan to sabotage and disrupt the mourning bird, it should attract a lot of attention to protect Phippley from the side.
Mephis is legal profession seems to be weak, and the power of the level bonus is placed there, and it is not a problem to carry Phippley when he walks, and it is only a hundred pounds, probably ......
Hevier stared at Mephis suspiciously and asked if she wanted to help, Mephis waved her hand to indicate that her brother was self-reliant, turned her head and immediately looked miserable, she was really choked when she moved downstairs, and hired a carriage to drag her back to the orphanage in a place where Hevier couldn't see, and finally saved face.
Dean Robertson was a warm-hearted and good man, and most of the time he went out to treat people without taking money, because there were not many rich people who came to him for treatment.
"What's wrong with Mr. Fippley?"
"Just assume that he was bitten by a snake, and it has been dealt with properly, but his body is weak."
Without saying a word, Robertson prayed for healing, and then called the children to hurriedly move the fat man into the house, and a group of orphans dragged Fippley into the house like ants and elephants.
"Is Alicia there?"
"She went to look for a job with the association, and she may not be there for the next few days."
"Oh......"
Mephis nodded, it would be nice to find more helpers at this time, but unfortunately Alicia was fully engaged in the orphanage and was not interested in other things.
Robertson saw something and couldn't help but admonish.
"The most effective way to resist the curse is to have a strong spirit and quick reflexes, I think you are a good magician, remember to be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll be back before dark."
At the same time, the magician who had been spared woke up in a daze, stunned for a few seconds, didn't care about the headache and hurriedly jumped up, he touched his body a few times and found that he had not been cut kidney, and was surprised that he was really not killed, so he quickly wrapped his head in his clothes and walked out of the window, full of thoughts about leaving the land of right and wrong, where could he think that the front foot walked Hevier and the back foot followed.
Heviel walked among the crowd like a ghost, and the appearance of the beautiful girl attracted many people to watch, and it stands to reason that it was quite conspicuous, but the anxious mage in front of him could take care of this.
Mephis and Hevier have a contractual connection, telepathic no matter how far apart they are, and when they reunite with Hevier, they are at the entrance to a remote underground waterway.
Except for the regular maintenance every year, almost no one has set foot here, and even naughty children will dislike the environment here, and only in winter will there be homeless people who crawl in to rest in order to avoid the cold. The entrance was crawling with animal vines, the smell of mold was unusually pungent, the underground light was dim, and there was only one magic lamp six or seven meters apart, and some of the magic lamps were still damaged.
"Why are you here?"
Stepping underground, the road beneath his feet was slippery, but Mephis frowned.
"Any questions?"
"It's nothing, take one step at a time, Hevier, you go ahead to explore the way, there are traps, be careful."
Heviel nodded, not daring to be careless, because she felt that there was a group of crazy wills in the depths, and some dangerous beasts in the wild would produce this will, but the breath coming from the depths was obviously wild and mixed. Mephis didn't have that keen senses, but after a copy of the game era, he knew what was hidden in the depths of the underground waterways.
"In the depths there may be a Hessian python mixed with wurm blood, this python has an amazing bite force, and remember not to get caught in it, otherwise you are also in danger."
"Is there anything else to look out for?"
"This snake has its head cut off, and it still jumps up and bites."
"Amazing vitality, got it."
The man hiding underground, as if he didn't know what was happening, the mage who thought he had escaped the catastrophe walked all the way in, came to an inconspicuous corner and groped for a moment, pressed a stone, and then there was a continuous sound of gears around him, and the mage stumbled into the stone door that opened in the middle of the wall, and behind the door was a staircase that continued to go deeper into the ground.
It is estimated that even the city lord could not have imagined that there is such a magical structure as zài under his house, and there is a space full of various biological instruments, many strange-shaped biological organs are displayed around, soaked in a pale red liquid, and the people who study these samples are alchemists and mages, if you want to say that the common denominator of these people may be young, the oldest is only a fifty-year-old person, who seems to be the leader here.
These people go back and forth between the containers with different texts, record any changes they observe, and then send them to a specialized person to summarize and organize them, and conduct a certain study in an orderly manner.
The middle-aged man was studying the information at hand, and asked without looking back.
"Did you bring anything back?"
"I'm sorry teacher, someone interfered... Dick was killed, and I had to fight to get out. ”
The middle-aged man had been studying poorly during this time, and when he raised his head and saw the mage's concealed appearance, he immediately had a nameless fire in his heart, and walked over and pulled off the clothes on the mage's head, and was a little surprised to see his bloody face.
"Who did that?"
“…… I don't know, a man and a woman, both are young, the strength of the woman is very strong, Dick didn't even return his hand, the man should be a magician, I don't have the slightest chance. ”
At this time, he ran out to stir up the situation, was it really because the Blightburner was making too much noise that night?
If it weren't for the fat businessman's signs of running, he really didn't want to move him so early, after all, he had a backer behind him, but Phipley didn't have a close relationship with this backer.
"Of course he doesn't have a chance, he's just a guy who can't do anything but curse, how can he be my opponent?"
A voice came from outside abruptly, causing the eyes of everyone in the secret room to widen and cause a commotion, only to see a young man walking down from above.
"This is the man who ruined our plans!"
The mage of the wolf bèi screamed at this time, and retreated several times in a row, almost knocking down the alchemy instrument behind him.
"Shut up, you guy who has more than enough to do!"
The middle-aged man glared at the mage fiercely, and he didn't need to think much to understand what was going on, feeling that his student was not fleeing back, but that someone had deliberately put it back, and he had followed him all the way to expose the location of this secret real thing. Looking back at Mephis and Herveil, as I said just now, they were young, and there was even a big gap between what they imagined, no matter what, the secret here was discovered, and the middle-aged man secretly brewed behind his back with one hand, and at the same time asked loudly to delay time.
"Is it the secret police or the Royal Tactics Corps?"
"What do you think?"
Mephis looked around and knew what was going on.
"Have you worked so hard for so long to solve the problem of spontaneous combustion of phoenix feathers? If you need my help, you can say it. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Mephis pushed the magic guide book in front of him, and unfolded the quadruple magic array aimed at the mage in front of him, almost instantly, spewing out a powerful jet of flames.
In an instant, a wall of ice was erected from the ground to block the flames, and the room was suddenly filled with steam, and in the confrontation between the scorching heat and the extreme cold, the middle-aged man urged his colleagues here to evacuate urgently.
Mephis and the middle-aged mage were both slightly stunned, they didn't expect the other party to be so insidious and say that they would fight, how could they go with them?
Heviel rounded the spell and rushed towards the fleeing crowd, just as the statue in the center of the room swung her greatsword at Hevel, slashing it down to cut off her path.
The camouflage shell of the statue falls, showing the appearance of a pitch-black armored knight, an alchemy machine mixed with a pitch-black steel structure, and humanoid Karakuri are most suitable for fighting in not very empty occasions, and there is no need to move a lot, and only the martial arts that need to fix the route can be used perfectly.
Hevier dodged the slash with a slight sideways turn, and looked ahead, the retreating people poured into a secret passage, and at the same time, the statues on both sides of the passage shook again, and there were two well-made armored knights, Heviel wanted to cross over and chase the escapees, but the armored cavalry did not let her succeed, and as a last resort, Hervier had to fight with three alchemy machines, intending to solve it quickly
Not far away, a sharp whistling sound sounded from the mist that obscured the view, and a string of ice hammers stabbed down on Mephis, the ice picks melted by four flames in the middle of the process.
"It's a shame that you're so magically powerful, so talented, to investigate something you shouldn't be involved in."
"It's useless to talk too much, don't delay time, we are all Lingge people, and we are also silently casting spells, this battle depends on who can't support it first, but I think the person who will lose is you, who has lived in research all year round, how much combat experience do you have?"
The middle-aged man waved his staff and struck the ground, invisible fluctuations spread out in all directions, and when the fog was blown away, the ground began to freeze, like an ice age spreading to Mephis's feet, once frozen, he could no longer break free.
Mephiss held up the Book of Flames with his fingertips, muttering a soft incantation, and the surrounding mist spiraled towards the top of the book in a visible manner, and the pillar of fire as dazzling as sunlight fell in front of Mephis, and the scorching sun impacted, melting the ice that spread over it, and at the same time advancing towards the middle-aged man.
"It seems that you are very confident, and the confrontation of a mage is not like the fight of a warrior."
"We deeply feel that our victory and defeat are only in a moment."
The middle-aged man clenched his fist into the air, at first it was just a little dark blue ice crystal, and in the blink of an eye, snowflakes fell from the ceiling, diamonds and stars condensed in mid-air, and frost quickly condensed on the surrounding instruments and facilities.
The impact of the scorching sun was eroded by the cold wind in the blink of an eye, the flames disappeared, the cold wind hit, and the entire underground was being eroded by ice crystals.
"See who can unleash the more powerful magic and emerge victorious."
"It's superficial."
Mephis slowly stepped back, and with each step, just enough to dodge the spreading ice, he summoned fire elemental creatures with a wave of his hand, forming an exact appearance like himself, standing in front of him, resisting the diamond stars and attacking his opponent at the same time.
The middle-aged man also summoned elemental creatures with a wave of his hand, and three huge water elementals stood in front of the fire elemental, the size was like the gap between father and son, and the fire elemental was pressed to death on the ground in a blink of an eye.
"There's no way out of you!"
Under the command of the middle-aged man, the arms of the three water elementals condensed into hard ice cubes and smashed down on Mephis, however, Mephis, who was covered by the attack, had no texture and let out a 'pop' sound and scattered into bubbles.
"Illusions!?"
"That's why I said you're superficial, and you can't even see through the real mirror."
Mephis's voice came from behind him, holding the Book of Mist in his arms with his left hand, and piercing the middle-aged man's heart from behind with a psionic blade in his right hand.
