732 Golden Eye 4
To upgrade the "Eye of Truth and Warning" to the fully embodied "Golden Eye of the Law", the essence extract of the Elemental Spirit Flower is required as a material. The Elemental Spirit Flower is not a plant, but a special substance that grows in the depths of the four elemental realms and embodies the inner core origin of the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth. In other words, the Elemental Spirit Flower is actually a materialized manifestation of the Origin Element, but it is more stable and less dangerous.
Hytruss once went deep into the four elemental realms, obtained a small amount of the four elemental spirit flowers, and brought them back to the Floating City for cultivation. He needed to obtain a sufficient amount of the four elemental spirit flowers, and extract more active and pure origin elements from them to perfect the Eyes of Truth and Warning.
Hytrus's special plantation to cultivate the four elemental spirit flowers is located at the other end of the Floating City, and is under the control of the "little one". Originally, according to Atlas's intentions, Gordon had to go there and get his hands on the elemental spirit flower that Hyteras hadn't had time to pick in the * year, as materials to upgrade the Eye of Truth and Warning.
This is undoubtedly a troublesome matter. Gordon will have to take a lot of risks to get there, and along the way, he may encounter the Floating City Golem controlled by the "little guy", or the Red Dragon Legion, the Northumbradians, and other ghosts. And even if he arrived at the plantation, there was no guarantee that he would be able to obtain the four elemental spirit flowers. Maybe after so many years of neglect, those magic devices used to simulate the extreme environment of the elemental realm to ensure the growth of the elemental spirit flower have all failed, and the elemental spirit flower he needs has long since died.
Therefore, it is better to rely on yourself. It may be difficult for others to get their hands on the Elemental Spirit Flower, a rare substance discovered and named by Hyteras himself, but for Gordon. But it's not hard to find a replacement. Isn't it just the four origin elements, he has a lot of them on hand.
With the trait of "Elemental Origin Creator", he can easily transform the Celestial Fire into any Origin Element. And the perfect control and use.
After Atlas settled Miss Succubus, he saw that Gordon was not in a hurry to leave the Mage Tower. He went to retrieve the Elemental Spirit Flower from the plantation, but instead took out various magic materials from the dimensional bag and began to draw a magic circle on the spot.
Atlas was suspicious, but he didn't bother, but chose to stop and watch quietly.
I saw Gordon draw a magic seal on the center of his eyebrows, so he took out the item of Truth and Warning Eye and held it in his palm. Immediately afterward, Atlas heard the intricate and esoteric Netherian incantation sound. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
"It's ...... Could it be that this is the legendary Elemental Emperor His Majesty Asaph. The magic of Augustus? Atlas couldn't hide his surprise.
He inherited the memories and insights of Heteras. And as a Grand Arcanist at the end of the Netherduran Magic Empire, it's not surprising that the first emperor of the empire is a legendary figure. Deep down, Atlas's expectations of Gordon have also increased dramatically.
This young mage who came to the Floating City was the only one he had no choice but to choose. Originally, Atlas was just holding a dedicated attitude, trying to fulfill the last wish left by his master to cooperate with Gordon. But judging from the ability that the other party has shown now, maybe it can really be done.
At this time, Gordon's preliminary arrangements had been completed. He placed the Eye of Truth and Warning in the center of the magic circle. Then he began to chant a mantra containing the rhythm of magic, waving his hands skillfully, like a good orchestra conductor. Methodically mobilize the overflowing energy in his body and the free energy in the surrounding environment for his own use.
When the spell in the mage's mouth reached the highest syllable, the magic crystal powder on the ground suddenly began to burn, and a circle of silver magic flames was drawn on the floor of the hall filled with the atmosphere of history.
The sudden acceleration of the flow of magic power made Gordon's pure black mage robe hunt and dance, and he was engrossed, and his fingertips overflowed with red, green, yellow, and blue magic spirit lines, rapidly drawing magic seals and runes.
When four brilliant colors illuminate the entire hall. Atlas's expression had changed from surprise to shock.
He looked at the four balls of light that accompanied Gordon and flew around him. He muttered to himself, "Origin Element...... He was able to manipulate the Origin Element without being consumed by it...... This ability to reach the pinnacle, even in a vast magical empire. There is only one person in charge. ”
Under Gordon's control, the elemental threads that represent the material basis of the multiverse converge around the Eye of Truth and Warning, gradually seeping into it. The amber glittering orb began to transform, and the dull yellow of it faded away, and finally the whole orb transformed into a bright, shiny, pure gold.
This mesmerizing light stained even the spirits who had silently observed Atlas on the side with a layer of gold. He knew that the Golden Eye of the Law had been completed, and the process was far smoother and faster than he expected.
"You've surprised me again, young man. Asaph. The heirs of Augustus have lived up to the name of the Emperor of the Elements. ”
Gordon only nodded at Atlas, not explaining his relationship with the most powerful Arcanist in Nether. He secretly unfolded the system interface, browsed the attributes of this new item, and then silently recited "equipment", and the small golden ball gradually sank into the center of his eyebrows, and gold suddenly flashed in his black pupils.
Compared to the original True and Warning Eye, the Golden Eye of the Law brings a fourfold increase in the verification value to Gordon, and it also comes with a special ability - Law Insight. In terms of the benefits brought to Gordon, this law is worthy of the name of the second artifact.
In the world of Telos, artifacts refer exclusively to items made by the gods themselves and contain divine powers. Although some legendary masters have made items that can even surpass the artifacts made by some weak gods, they cannot be called artifacts. However, the secondary artifact is no longer exclusive to the gods, except for the props made by the gods themselves, but the props containing less divine power can be called secondary artifacts, those made by mortals, but have been involved in the mysterious field of "law", can also be called secondary artifacts.
Speaking of which, counting the newly obtained Law Golden Eye, Gordon found that he already had three secondary artifacts on his body alone, which could be regarded as a veritable local tyrant and mobile treasure house.
But though, in Atlas's opinion. Gordon's process of completing the Golden Eye of the Law seems effortless and effortless, but Gordon knows it. What a price did it take.
First, his stored Celestial Fire was depleted. For a long time to come, he was unable to use this powerful killer weapon, and his combat effectiveness was reduced. Secondly, the various precious alchemy materials in the dimensional bag that had been accumulated again after the final battle in Fryjis City had consumed a lot. If the loss of money is just a small matter, then the amount of experience consumed by using the Spell Exemption Specialty to make up for the lack of some scarce materials just now is quite heart-wrenching.
Look at the half-lost stock in the experience pool. Gordon can only express the helplessness in his heart with a secret sigh.
The Golden Eye of the Law has already been obtained, and the next thing Gordon has to do is to rely on this item to break through the tightly guarded magic circle left by the previous owner of the Floating City and reach the private magic laboratory of the Grand Arcanist at the top of the tower. There, according to Atlas, there is another enemy that needs to be defeated by Gordon in order to obtain the Mirror of Annihilation.
The enemy in Atlas's mouth is named Barromew, also known as the madman Barlomew. The title "Maniac" was bestowed by Atlas. This guy was originally Hetruss. Students of Osht. Because of his outstanding talent, he was accepted as a closed disciple by the Grand Arcanist, and together they fled the dying Magic Empire with the Floating City. Go on a trip to your face.
However, it is a pity that in the death match against the Dark Demon, Barlomew is also a victim. He is the last survivor of the entire Floating City, and personally bids farewell to his teacher, Heteras. However, shortly after Hytrus's death, Barlomew also died of serious injuries.
And unlike Hetrus, who properly disposed of his body and prevented it from being used by the Dark Demon, Barlomew did not have this ability. Out of love for his teacher, Barlomew chose Heterras's private laboratory on the top floor of the Mage's Tower as the place of his death. But shortly after his death, there was a remnant of demonic power in his body. Infected and completely occupied his corpse.
If it weren't for the protective circle set up by Hyteras during his lifetime, it would have protected outsiders from invading the upper floors of the Mage Tower. It also prevented Barromew from leaving, I am afraid that the Temple of Truth, the core area of the floating city. will not be guaranteed.
"You mean you want me to fight a guy who's been trapped for thousands of years, crazy and terrifying? You really think of me. ”
"Don't worry, young mage, the key to your victory over Baromue is not in mastering the arcane arts, not in the skill of casting spells, but in spirit and will. I'm sure you're even better than the legendary Grand Arcanists at this point. ”
I don't have confidence myself, where did you get this kind of self-confidence?
Atlas didn't say anything more and ran to continue taking care of Miss Succubus. And Gordon held the form of "having the courage to try and leaving a way out", and began to move towards the tower.
This Hytrus. The Mage Tower built by Osht, unlike ordinary Mage Towers, is a hollow cylindrical structure, and from the ground floor hall upwards, there is a huge vertical space leading to the top floor, with intricate staircases leading to the rooms on each floor.
Gordon began to climb up the stairs, his figure fading into the darkness. He opened the golden eyes of the law, and his eyes overflowed with a sharp golden light. The original dark and blurred environment in the field of vision suddenly changed.
The Grand Arcanist of Hyteras had set up those protective circles, and they were clearly displayed in Gordon's eyes. The huge magic power that had been circulating for thousands of years, and the thread that bound the law of it, were all seen by Gordon, and he had already understood the rules of operation of the circle almost instantly.
When Gordon entered the mage tower, he immediately opened the Eye of Truth and Warning to observe his surroundings. But at that time, the upper area where the magic circle was located only presented a hazy magical aura, which could not be seen through at all.
The protective circles set up by these Grand Arcanists themselves, as long as a creature breaks into them, they will be immediately torn to pieces by the immense power of spells. But now in the face of Gordon, this layer after layer of legendary-level protection arrays has been cracked like a cocoon.
With the help of the Golden Eye of the Law, Gordon was able to clearly see the operating principles and weaknesses of the circle. He even only needs to cast the magic of a one-ring spell to destroy the key points of the protective circle, and eventually cause a chain reaction that collapses.
As the protective circles were destroyed one after another, Gordon got closer and closer to the top of the mage tower.
And as he climbs step by step, his surroundings change. A black color that makes people feel gloomy and eerie. It's spreading all around, covering tower walls, stairs, and everything else that is visible to the eye. are constantly infected.
Gordon felt as if he was walking towards the mouth of a giant beast, and as if he was walking into the abyss. The blackness around it seemed to be able to swallow everything. Even the light is not spared. Gordon summoned several orbs of illumination in a row, all of which were extinguished in an instant.
The protective circles stopped Gordon's advance, but at the same time imprisoned the evil presence at the top of the Mage Tower. Now that the confinement is gone, the other party naturally immediately ran out like a trapped beast out of the cage.
In the world displayed by the Golden Eye of the Law, Gordon saw that all the free source energy around him was gradually being swallowed up by the blackness, as if there was a void and nothingness, but infinitely powerful terrifying power, which was slowly spreading. Erodes this world. He estimated that he was about to reach the top level, so he took a deep breath and blessed himself with various buffs and protection spells, ready for a big battle with the enemies that were about to appear.
However, the terrifying enemy that is so hideous and terrifying in the imagination that the three heads and six arms make the dense phobia sufferers uncomfortable does not appear. Just as he was about to be surrounded by the blackness, Gordon suddenly saw a flower in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, the suffocating, depressing, fearful but inescapable blackness suddenly disappeared. Gordon's eyes suddenly brightened, and the clear blue sky overhead. Dotted with white clouds like cotton candy, and beneath your feet is a meadow, rising and falling with the breeze. A warm breeze blows on your face. It makes people feel slightly drunk, and I really want to lie down on the thick and soft grass all of a sudden, and then sleep for a while.
However, Gordon soon discovered that there was something quite inappropriate in this eerily peaceful and abnormal environment. In the distance of his gaze, a black-clad humanoid was standing, staring at him with his white, pupilless eyes.
It is as black as sticky asphalt. It drips to the ground and then dyes the verdant grass exactly the same black.
"Looks like that's the madman Barromew......"
Now that the goal has been confirmed. Gordon didn't spare his hand, and directly prepared to cast his strongest attack spell.
But it wasn't until he started chanting the incantation that he found out. The mana he had stored was gone, and he couldn't cast spells at all. And on the character interface, in the mana column, a big, dazzling zero egg is displayed.
"What's going on?"
For a mage, spells are the foundation of his life. Gordon has his own system and can cast spells even in the Dead Zone, so even when Atlas tells him to deal with a terrifying and unknown enemy, he is not afraid. But now, all of a sudden, he has lost his ability to cast spells, which really makes people feel a little empty.
Even more terrible things are yet to come.
Just when Gordon was anxious that he couldn't cast a spell, Barlomew went into action. He stretched out his hand and waved, and a large phanther began to appear around him, and then gradually built into shape, transforming into a substance.
A giant about 20 meters tall, made of pure gold and other rare metal composites, with unparalleled power, appeared out of thin air on this vast grassland.
In the Magic Empire of Netherduran, the Titan Golem is one of the two major strategic weapons alongside the Flying Battleship!
"Damn, a lord-level Titan Golem......"
Gordon finds himself confronted with an enemy with unimaginable power. A Lord-level Titan Golem has the destructive power of a Legendary* master who specializes in plastic energy spells, and such a powerful constructed creature can be summoned by enemies with ease!
Barlomew, whose entire body was made up of strange black power, struck again, reaching out and raising a finger to draw a straight line in front of him. Immediately after, rows of powerful warriors appeared out of thin air again, gradually transforming from phantom to entity, and lined up in front of Barlomew.
These warriors rode ferocious creatures known as vultures, armed with enchanted spears, and were covered in fine armor. The vulture is a distant relative of the griffin, its wings have deteriorated to the point of losing its ability to fly, but its limbs are thick and muscular, and its ability to run far exceeds that of the best warhorses. These vultures are also clad in rune-engraved heavy armor, as if they are one with the knight on their backs.
Gordon has already recognized that these warriors are the Vulture Kinetic Knights, belonging to the elite troops of the Magic Empire of Netherduran, although the deterrent power is not as good as that of strategic weapons such as the Titan Golem, but it also played a very important role in the process of the empire's conquest.
The armor of these knights and their mounts is capable of unleashing a special spell that greatly increases protection and movement speed, making them unstoppable in their charge. With such a strong class, the enemy was able to summon a team of 1,000 people at a time, which was completely beyond the scope of reasonableness.
Gordon really didn't know how this battle was fought. By the time the enemy's Rulin cavalry spear was pointed at him, he was no longer ready to fight, but was thinking about how to get out of this place. But just when he was at a loss, Atlas's voice suddenly came from his head. (To be continued)
