Chapter 280: Zambika
It took Grant some time to finally get a large number of runes on the surface of the cave. I didn't expect the very simple rune array in the game, and the reality is not too easy to solve.
A semi-circular cave appeared on the bare surface, and on each side of the cave were placed a pitch-black metal golem, which looked eighty percent similar to a human, except that it had two top horns on its head, and the tip of its nose was the kind of bull's nose. Judging by its appearance, it should be a half-minotaur battle puppet. It's a pity that without the urging of the rune array, there is no threat at all.
Grant smiled and strode straight inside.
The pitch-black entrance to the cave was flanked by smooth stone ramparts, and there were no painted patterns to illuminate the crystals.
The cold wind blew from inside, and it was cold, making people feel numb in their backs.
Grant walked slowly forward for several kilometers. Finally, I saw a wooden table appear at the end, where a black wooden stick was suspended, and the surface was all dark golden flow patterns, which looked high-end and tasteful.
On both sides of the wooden table, there were several pillars of blue and red mixed light, and dozens of crystals were suspended around the pillars of light.
Grant walked halfway and stopped.
He laughed without a trace, revealing his snow-white teeth: "Fortunately, I still know the correct opening route here, otherwise I can only go and grab the key to the soul of life." Once snatched, it instantly detonated a lot of strange metals in the surrounding caves. Even if I had the strength of the middle of the fifth order, it would take me two hours. And these two hours were enough for them to come and surround themselves. ”
The rocks around the cave lurk with a lot of broken metal and alchemy mechanisms, all of which cost a lot of money to build.
Grant leaned over and grabbed a piece of dirt with his hand. When you open it, you can see several green crystals appearing inside. The sheen of the surface looks like a stream of water.
The corners of Grant's lips twitched, chanting a spell.
A few minutes later.
Buzzing......
The pillars of light on either side of the wooden table vanished. Many hedrons fell with a thud and smashed into the table, causing a hole to appear in the table.
Ordinary hedrons without any spell bonuses can easily make holes appear in tables that are as hard as iron, which is enough to prove that the quality and hardness have reached a peak.
Grant walked over and didn't give up the hedrons, and after putting them all away, he went to get the Soul of Life Key. He knew that even if he took the right route through here, the information that someone had taken the soul of life would still be passed on to the higher-ups of the Ike clan, and then they would surround this place in groups.
There is a hint of warmth in the grip. There is also the powerful Soul of Life Key.
Grant can also know that there is a lot of information in it, but unfortunately it does not belong to him.
Fortunately, it was the same for Lilian, who could protect the Glory Industry and Tefir in the future.
Grande nodded, turned and rushed straight ahead. Go to the outside of the cave and use a spell to break through the outer structure, so that all the stones fall with a bang, blocking the cave entrance. This would make the mages think they were kept inside, and increase the amount of time they spent here and the time they needed to go to the manor.
After he had done this, he swooped into the sky, only to see a long dragon of raging dark red flames in midair. Disappeared in an instant without a shadow.
…………
Manor.
Near the last dilapidated attic, the neighborhood is surrounded by green vegetation and evergreen trees, with the occasional small white flower dotting the neighborhood like a forest.
In front of the attic are white stone tables, stone benches, and a white stone intersection leading to the main door.
After walking through the door. The rooms inside have a hint of calm.
In the room on the left side of the second floor, an old man with skin as pale as snow and a clan pattern on his forehead that was twisting and burning like a flame opened his eyes. Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes.
He looked to be sixty or seventy years old. The facial features are handsome, and the two eyes are slightly squinted. As if laughing, the long silver-white hair shawl sets off a look of elegance and reluctance to get involved.
At this time, the old man stood up and patted the ten cents of dust on his black robe.
His eyes glowed with coldness, and he sneered sharply, "It seems that someone is still going to get the Soul of Life Key, is it the two of you?" I'm going to see who dares to take it. ”
He hurried out of the room and into the sky.
At the same time, there were also two streamers rushing out of the other two manors of the royal department, one after the other, and the target was Rosenby Lake. They were well aware that the keys had been taken.
In the Hanging Hall, in front of a square stone tabletop, there are two mages in their twenties, fair-skinned and delicate faces.
Their figures are bumpy, with towering breasts and flat lower abdomen forming a distinct curvature. At this time, he stood up sharply and looked at the north in unison. A flame slowly emerged from the slender waist and wrapped around the body, and when the two round and tall thighs walked into the flames, they disappeared in place in an instant.
Before leaving, only a few words were left in the air.
"Well, it looks like someone has taken the Soul of Life Key. Could it be one of the three little ones? ”
"I guess so, it's unlikely that the other guys will get the keys."
"That's right."
"Let's get there first."
…………
In the sky above Leishui Lake, three colliding streamers suddenly rushed out.
As they collided, they looked at each other hostilely, and then their tense faces gradually relaxed.
"Didn't you go to move the key?"
"Do you think we look like we're going to get it?"
"Hehe, it's not."
"That's not the end of it."
"Let's not discuss who took it, it's clear now."
"Well, it should be some stalwart mages other than us, such as those elders. They may have rushed to the scene because of the death of that little lowly species, who suddenly obtained the inheritance qualification. Well, in this way, we are not qualified to stop him. ”
"It's too early to say that, let's take a look first."
"Then do it."
"Let's go."
They discussed with each other, with a hint of unwillingness in each other's eyes.
As the first family of the Stan royal department, the Ike family is amazingly rich in both status and resource reserves, and even the rulers of the royal department are quite eye-catching. It's a pity. It is difficult for mages to mobilize that part of the resources normally, and only the patriarch can mobilize them.
At the beginning, the Ike family has always been in charge of the inheritance. Because it appears between the three major factions in the clan, it has always been controlled in turn. Until there is a servant who does not meet the requirements of the corresponding rank.
Because the servant did not reach the fifth order. They can also use clever language to block in disguise. But if the other party reaches the fifth order, as long as the other party is willing to take the key, it is impossible to stop it, otherwise the bloodline in the body will make that mage die automatically. Therefore, only being a fifth-order mage and getting the key means that he is the next patriarch of the Ike family.
The other mages of the Ike clan can't harbor abnormal thoughts, as long as they reach a certain limit, even if they don't have to deal with it in person by the inheritor, the bloodline will not let him go.
These were all conditions set by the first patriarch, who was a seventh-order mage at the time. If you want to change this condition, you can only change it by a mage of the same bloodline and level.
But this is no longer that era, even the fifth order is extremely rare, the middle stage of the fifth order dominates the Hanging Palace, and it is in the top ranks of the strongest in the nightmare border, and the seventh order is undoubtedly a daydream.
When he appeared in the servant's body, and let him die inexplicably, he created a bug for them, so he ruled in three.
They also don't want any more inheritors. So put the keys in the cave here. If it weren't for the bloodline limit, they would have wanted to destroy the key a long time ago.
When the three patriarchs saw that the key was taken, they also felt infinite remorse in their hearts, but it was useless. If you had even tried to destroy it or use the hands of others to achieve your goal. They weren't the only ones who died.
Shout! Shout! Shout!
The three patriarchs rushed to the entrance of the cave and saw a large amount of rubble piled up under the blocked opening, and occasionally many metal stones that were connected together. The heart is also slightly relaxed.
One of the leading mages sighed and said, "I didn't expect our future patriarch to be trapped inside, you say. Do we shoot or not? ”
The patriarch beside him frowned, but he stopped when he wanted to move: "Since he didn't order us." For the time being, let him spend some time digging slowly, and let's discuss how to deal with the future. ”
"Hey, I can only think of a way like this slowly, I didn't expect the result to be so troublesome."
"What if it's troublesome?"
They shrugged their shoulders helplessly, and it wasn't until this moment that the three fifth-order mages realized how small their strength was, and they couldn't even violate the small conditions set by the first patriarch.
If this condition befell one of his own bloodlines, it would be considered a blessing. The key is random, it's depressing enough to think about.
Just as they discussed, Yuan Chong rushed over two more silver-white streamers. Until it fell, it was the two mages with peerless faces from before. It's just that when they saw the three people standing in front of the cave, their faces changed slightly, and they almost said at the same time: "Didn't you get the key to the soul of life?" ”
In their opinion, it is very likely that the new inheritor identity will be among the two acting patriarchs, but now it seems that it is obviously not.
The three patriarchs also shrugged their shoulders bitterly, their heads shaking like wave drums, and until this moment, they couldn't speak.
After they finished speaking, they also bowed slightly: "Hello uncle!" ”
Uncle and mother are mentioned in the royal department of Stan, and they are the younger sisters of their fathers, which is equivalent to their own elders.
The two Hanging Hall mages in front of him, although they looked to be only in their twenties, were actually more than sixty years older than the three acting patriarchs.
They sighed in unison, and did not care about the situation at the entrance of the cave.
They didn't like the new patriarch inside, so naturally it was impossible for him to help him open the hole. If it weren't for the serious restrictions in the bloodline, I would have killed that guy earlier. It's a pity that I don't even dare to raise my killing intent now, because it's too dangerous.
At the beginning, the servant who received the inheritance of the soul of life broke the taboo and gave birth to a child with the pure human race. According to the rules of the Ike clan, the death penalty is 100%, but he is the inheritor, and he can even be protected by his wife and son, so naturally no one dares to do it. If it weren't for the fact that the servant himself was not qualified enough to reach the fifth rank, he would have been the patriarch a long time ago.
This kind of condition that the patriarch's power is quite centralized also makes many Ike mages dissatisfied, but no one can break these rules.
They waited, also worrying about what was to come. It's just that they don't know that there are no mages in it at all, and Grant, who got the key, has already rushed to the royal department.
…………
Bang!
Grant pushed the door open and looked at the bed. When lazily looking at Lillian with a heavy book.
He shook his head speechlessly.
Lillian noticed the comer, her calm face changing slightly. Showing joy and excitement, he hurriedly put down his handbook. smiled and said, "My big brother Grant, have you already gotten it?" ”
"That's nature." Grant pulls out the Soul of Life Key from the reserve space and throws it to Lillian.
He knew that the key was not blessed with any small marks, so he was more relieved. At this point, the key fell to the tip of Lilian's finger.
With a slight touch of her slender green fingertips, Lilian felt a small electric current as if her entire body was paralyzed, and her eyes suddenly became gray and heavy.
She lay upright on the bed, her skin pale like a dead person.
Grant also knew that this was a fixed process of receiving the lineage. If the assumption is correct, wait an hour and you will be sober. When the time comes, take her to the Ike family's manor to snatch the soul puppet of life.
As for the Tower of the Demon Eye in the royal department? Oh, don't be afraid.
The identity of the Hanging Hall owned by Grant will not be limited at all no matter where it is, after all, the Tower of the Demon Eye is actually made by the high-level of the Extreme Continent, and the spaces connected inside are the same, and natural information is shared. In other words, the mages of the other royal departments of the Hanging Hall still have the privilege of coming to the other side of the royal department.
Grant is able to kill at will, but there is one caveat. As long as you attack others, then others can also have the right to attack you.
Grant closed the door and walked to a place to slowly recover the mental energy he had spent all the way.
Door.
Liliane's eyes were closed, her mind in the key in front of her.
Then. It's like you're in a strange world.
There are countless buildings suspended in any sky, islands rising from the ground, rich in elements. Many fourth- and fifth-order mages were talking and laughing.
There are many of them, and I am afraid that there are tens of thousands.
Then. Lilian, who had become part of the world, saw a red dragon rushing towards her. The huge body rushed straight through like a meteorite. Bang bang bang...... Countless buildings were knocked down, and a large amount of dust was emitted. When Lilian thought that the mages around her would attack the red dragon, she didn't expect the red dragon to turn into a beautiful man with long fiery red hair in a shawl, and touched her head to apologize to the mages around her.
He apologized and gestured to the buildings around him, as if he had gone back in time, and immediately remained intact.
Lilian was also secretly frightened, knowing that the red dragon was a seventh-rank class.
Oh oh!!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and many mages rushed there because of the shouts. Even Lilian was also curious to move her non-existent body and slowly move forward, and it was a strange feeling, as if she were a whole continent.
When you rush to the sky and look down from above, you can see that this island is a mage college.
In the middle of the green playground are a number of mages riding a broomstick, and there are three wooden pillars in the front and back, with round holes on them.
A brown-haired boy is cloaked in a black robe, holding a ball with a magic glove in his hand.
The mages in the back also followed closely behind them.
On the periphery of the playground were circles of mages, shouting in unison, like waves over and over again. Even Lilian was a little speechless.
But she could find that those boys were only eight or nine years old, and some of them were only eleven or twelve years old, but the level of spiritual fluctuations emanating from their bodies was unified at the second order.
Eight or nine years old second-order mage, this is terrifying in the Nightmare Frontier. During her time at the Nightmare Frontier, she also saw that there was a book that recorded that the youngest and most gifted mage was a second-order mage at fifteen. Now compared to this, it is obviously two levels.
And they don't seem to be seed-level mages, they are very ordinary.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
The mages on both sides began to scramble for the ball, trying to throw it into the pillars of the opposing camp.
The surrounding mages also shouted their teams.
Lillian looked at it for a moment, and then looked up and noticed that the fireworks on it had a few barely understandable words written on Quidditch, and some of the words behind it were too complicated to understand what they meant.
Lillian was delighted at first, but then bored, and just as she was bored, time around her quietly sped up to a terrible level.
She also didn't know how long it had been, and she found that the continent around her had decayed instantly.
The sky seemed to be scorched by flames, and it was red, and countless meteors came down. The power of those meteorites was equivalent to the fifth order, as high as the seventh or eighth order, countless buildings collapsed, and a mage was dying in the disaster. Maybe they were at the top powerhouse level in the Nightmare Frontier, but they didn't have any ability to resist now.
There were also some mages wearing red robes, black robes, and white robes who stepped forward, holding golden hand wands and waving them in unison. Defend against the falling meteors. It's a pity that those fire meteors are obviously not ordinary meteorites, there are countless mysterious runes on the surface, and they also have quite high magic resistance, and every time they fall, they can kill a large area.
The mages, who were once powerful and able to cross the plane, fell to the ground one by one, their bodies burned by the flames and only ashes. Before he died, he could only let out a terrible scream of terror.
The mages began to flee, trying to get into the woods, but to no avail. A firefall is enough to destroy everything.
Lilian looked at it, feeling desolate, and didn't know what it was for, anyway, she felt quite uncomfortable. Maybe it's because of the infinite loss that the mage civilization has such a situation.
Suddenly, Lillian noticed a beautiful meteor suddenly falling from the sky, it was a crystal, about tens of thousands of meters in diameter, or even tens of thousands of meters. The surface was filled with unimaginable elemental particles, and Lillian swore that she would definitely sense the strongest elemental particles in her life, so to speak, that is, the crystals that the elemental particles had undergone countless extrusions.
Seeing his appearance, Lilian blurted out in shock: "Zambica!" (To be continued......)
