Chapter 351: The Sorcerer's Hand XI.
When the other party's ice arrow mixed with cold air spilled out again, Ye Qi's body came to the other party's back lightly, and a crisp hand knife made the young wizard completely unconscious, looking at the scars on the other party's wrists, he couldn't help but shake his head.
The strange wolf laughed: "Don't you think it's worth it?" β
Ye Qi replied: "It's not worth it, I just think it's a little sad...... I think I'm well hidden, but everything is exposed to the gaze of others - I really want to know what I would do if I were in this state. β
The strange wolf groaned: "You probably will choose to kill all the beings who can't be compromised, right?" β
Ye Qi was stunned and said; "Are you sure you're not talking about a murderer again?"
The strange wolf nodded: "If you are a murderer, you are not so irritable, you will be more careful, and then bite your prey like a poisonous snake and pour venom into it......"
Ye Qi pursed the corners of his lips and said, "I think you are slandering!" β
Then, ignoring the strange wolf's arguments, he just suspended in the air and got out of the arena; As early as a moment ago, the old wizard's assistant and a group of gray robes rushed up to check the young wizard's state, and then nodded gratefully to Ye Qi; Such a thing as mercy on his subordinates can be seen as long as he is not blind.
The old wizard looked at Ye Qi with his feet on the platform, and said with a smile: "Accompany me out of the road...... I don't think Van Les has taken you on a thorough tour of the Wizard's Hand! β
Ye Qi nodded and said, "It's my honor!" β
β¦β¦
The hand of the wizard in the middle of the night was not completely shrouded in darkness. Whether it's the moon in the sky. It's still the magic lamp. All of them make the wizard's hand have enough light, especially the latter, under the modulation of wizards with profound spells, they all exude a bright and not dazzling, soft and abnormal light.
Following a gravel path, Ye Qi and the old wizard walked side by side on it, towards the back half of the wizard's handβhere, Ye Qi had not set foot on it; In fact. Including the small courtyard, it was only the first half of the wizard's hand, and the second half was even more eye-catching.
This is because the building that looks like a minaret at the top of the castle is standing here.
Ye Qi stopped at the end of the gravel path, and looked up at the minaret as if he were facing a real mountain, and only when he really stood close could he understand what it meant to be tall; The spire at this moment completely gave Ye Qi such a feeling. Of course, in [Blind Fight Perception]. It's more of a dangerous aura, which is blowing everywhere.
In addition to the spell traps that should be deserved, there are more gray robes here, as well as several powerhouses of the transcendent realm; Not to the level of an old wizard, but definitely not a 'newcomer'.
Heritage?
After Ye Qi silently muttered such a sentence, he looked at the old wizard who also stopped, who took the staff in his hand and pointed ahead, and said with a smile: "This is the 'Wizard Tower' of the Wizard's Hand, which is a place that many wizards like, and there are enough books in it...... Of course, if you want to see it, I can make a special case for you! β
Ye Qi smiled: "As for books, I will read them in my spare time, but at such a time, I think we should complete some of the things agreed upon as soon as possible...... You say, right? β
The old wizard nodded and replied, "That's right, the things that were agreed upon before must be done...... However, I think this kind of conversation is far less good than the conversation we talk about while walking; After all, I said I was going to show you the entire Wizard's Hand, and the Wizard's Tower is a no-brainer! β
Ye Qi didn't say much, just stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
Although the old wizard had mentioned the matter of books, when Ye Qi stepped into the 'wizard's tower', he realized how many there were by "enough", and the bookshelves with a height of twenty-five feet and a width of fifteen feet were tightly placed together, arranged at intervals of ten feet in each row, and after completing fifty columns, this arrangement entered the corner.
Obviously, the corner is not a staircase, but a place where countless bookshelves are also arranged, and in the slightly middle place, long tables are placed there end to end, and many wizards carry a chair to sit at the long table, adjust the magic lamp in their hands, read the magic book in their hands carefully, and turn a deaf ear to the people passing by.
Faced with such a situation, Ye Qi subconsciously restrained his steps, the old wizard smiled at Ye Qi, pointed to a small door next to him, and the two walked over lightly - behind the door, there was a staircase that rotated towards the head, and the guard at the staircase looked at the old wizard and Ye Qi who walked in, and immediately bent down and saluted: "Lord Lendel, Your Excellency the Dragon of Shak, good evening!" β
The old wizard and Ye Qi nodded to the guards at the same time, and then stepped up the steps; This section of stairs that rotates towards the slang is about a hundred steps; It wasn't until the end of the staircase that another guard reappeared that the old wizard spoke again, "This is one of the largest laboratories of the 'Wizard Tower'...... On the top floor, it's my room! β
Ye Qi nodded in understanding: "Follow the tradition!" β
During the Dark Ages, wizards would begin to build their own wizard towers as long as they could reach the corresponding strength; And the wizard's tower itself is positioned as a synthesis of experiments, dwellings, fortresses, and weapons; 'A wizard who doesn't have his own wizard tower is not a real wizard! β
Such rumors are definitely not groundless.
Therefore, hearing the old wizard's explanation, Ye Qi was not surprised, he just followed behind the other party and slowly entered this laboratory - being able to be invited by the wizard into his laboratory is undoubtedly a friendly act.
There is no difference from the wizarding laboratory that Ye Qi has seen, only it is larger, and there are more wizard assistants; Except for some resting wizards who saluted when they saw the old wizard come in, the rest of the wizards who were doing experiments didn't even raise their heads.
And the old wizard didn't care at all, and continued to walk forward.
"It's a bit of a faux pas, though. But. Such juniors. I would appreciate it even more! β
The old wizard said after pushing open a small door next to the laboratory.
And Ye Qi said simply and directly: "Concentration is an indispensable quality for wizards!" β
Whether it is building a spell model or a spell experiment, the probability of success with single-mindedness is definitely far greater than that of half-heartedness; Of course, what is more important is that wizards are not so risk-free when they accomplish such things; Every failure. All with enough frightening danger.
Every year, the number of wizards killed in the laboratory is definitely not a small number.
It was a not very large, but very clean room, and there were no more facilities in this room except for a few chairs, and while Ye Qi was looking around, the old wizard gently knocked the ground with his staff.
Bang!
A slightly dull sound sounded, and immediately a phantasm map appeared in the center of the room.
"It's ...... A map near the Wizard's Hand? β
Ye Qi glanced at it slightly. He looked at the old wizard, who nodded slightly, "That's right." This is a map with a radius of 500 kilometers from the Wizard's Hand, ...... here"
As he spoke, the old wizard raised his left hand and pointed to a place in the northwest, a place that resembled a hilly area; The old wizard turned to Ye Qi and asked, "Have you heard of the Kalco Outpost?" β
Ye Qi nodded and said, "I've heard that there is a place connected to the dark region, and the wizards have been preventing those underground creatures from peeping!" Moreover, once before the Sacred Age, the Demon Hunters also sent the entire army to support...... However, after the establishment of the Holy Age, the Holy See made it a self-governing territory, which was guarded by several cardinal archbishops of the transcendent realm; And, when the Sacred Age faded, it was quickly blown up, leaving only a few tiny gaps. β
Ye Qi told everything he knew about Karko, and the old wizard nodded and said, "Basically, there is no mistake...... At that time, the only good thing the Holy See did was probably the sentry post set up in Karl - after the signing of the Final Armistice Agreement, we took over there, and many times relied on the castles and defenses built by the original Holy See to resist the prying eyes of those underground creatures, even if these castles and defenses were already in tatters, but the gaps that were originally directly connected were not left? β
As he spoke, the old wizard's fingers moved again and again on the illusory map; Immediately, the hilly terrain of Calco on the map began to expand rapidly, until the buildings were clearly visibleβa series of castles, connected from end to end, forming a special circular wall, on which teams of wizards patrolled, and their targets were within this circular wall.
It was like a concave basin, and in the middle of the basin, a black presence loomed from time to time.
Ye Qi asked, "This is the passage to the Dark Regions?" β
The old wizard nodded, "Yes, that's the passage - and why Karco exists!" That's where I discovered Peloz too! β
Ye Qi was stunned and asked, "Peloz is an abandoned baby?" β
The old wizard's face, which had been smiling, darkened at this moment, and he said in an inexplicable tone: "I found him after killing his parents!" β
Ye Qi raised his eyebrows, but wisely did not interrupt the old wizard, but waited for him to continue.
The old wizard seemed to be caught up in the memories of that time, and the expression on his face changed in a thousand ways; After a few minutes, he spoke again: "His father is my disciple, and his mother is a Drow ......."
Such an answer, even Ye Qi, who was prepared, couldn't help but be speechless, and everything after that had been restored to a rough idea in Ye Qi's guess - definitely a story of falling in love and not ending well, but at the end of this story, there was a little variable: Peloz.
In fact, the old wizard also said: "Peloz's father, the smartest of my students, and my favorite, always thought that he would be the next leader of the 'Wizard's Hand', but when that happened, I was instantly angry!" β
"It was a collapse from the bottom of my heart, and I simply shot it. Peloz's father and mother. Dead by my spell. And I was confronted with the bodies of Peloz's parents, and it wasn't until Peloz cried out in hiding that I woke up and realized what stupidity I had done! β
The old wizard smiled bitterly with a deep sadness.
"I picked up Peloz and buried his parents, and then, began to age rapidlyβPeloz had a very special vein in her body, which attracted the attention of the absolute being underground; For Peloz's safety. I had to use all my strength to protect him...... Those guys, like me, want to get rid of this filth and sacrifice Peloz! β
Ye Qi looked at the grieving old wizard and asked, "Is it because of this that your physical condition is that you began to collapse?" β
The old wizard nodded, "It's just one of the triggers, there are some other reasons...... I used to say that I'm also a guy who travels all over Lorant out of curiosity, right? And as I grew older and stronger, my curiosity didn't wane, but grew stronger and strongerβand then I began to delve into astrology, trying to peek into what wasn't happening! β
"Obviously. The future is something that God can't decide...... Therefore. I was punished! β
Compared with the previous sorrow, when it came to these things, the old wizard was relaxed enough and did not regret it at all; And the strange wolf couldn't stop humming in Ye Qi's heart: "God? Do you understand what God is? Wizards, what a bunch of guys who don't know what respect is! β
Ye Qi didn't pay any attention to the strange wolf's statement, he said very simply: "Curiosity is innate in everyone!" β
The old wizard shook his head slowly, looked at Ye Qi and said: "I don't have any objection to such innateness, but I need to remind you - strength, when facing anything that can make you curious, you must have the strength that you have, otherwise, you will only be like me...... Even his own juniors can't protect it again! β
Ye Qi said with a formal expression: "Once I promise, I will keep my promise!" β
The old wizard said with the corners of his mouth upturned: "Of course, I am very sure of this!" Otherwise, we wouldn't be standing here...... Peloz's affairs, Velce will arrange everything, after my death! β
"Now, I need you to help me protect some people; In exchange, I will help you with all I can, including, of course, the fragment of the Key of Doom and the whereabouts of the other piece! β
As the old wizard spoke, his gaze turned to Ye Qi.
Ye Qi asked in a deep voice, "Are they some people who are exceptions to your favor, or are they the people of the age who walked on the 'Wizard's Road' this time and went to various other trials in Lorante?" β
The old wizard laughed, "How about such a keen sense as old John?" It's the young people who have gone through it...... For the rest of the young people, I have other arrangements - I hope you understand, I need to leave more sparks for the wizards, and once the spring breeze blows again, they will be sparks again! β
Ye Qi nodded in understanding; However, there were still doubts in his heart, and he asked with a little hesitation: "What kind of thing made you make such a decision?" I beg your pardon for the offense though your body has ...... However, I can still sense that there are still several legendary powerhouses in the transcendent realm here, and they cannot inherit your name, but if you protect the hand of the wizard, there shouldn't be any problems, right? β
The old wizard glanced at Ye Qi in surprise, and then immediately said, "It seems that my previous statement is not correct, do you know the truth?" You are more perceptive than your teachers, and I think they are hidden without knowing it...... I was going to tell you about it later, but it seems like I have to do it now! β
"The transcendent realm is an unattainable realm for most people, but for some beings, it is only a starting point...... A starting point that is just getting started! β
As he spoke, the old wizard looked at Ye Qi with deep meaning, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and Ye Qi smiled bitterly: "Extraordinary, extraordinary...... Nature is beyond mortals, and above mortals - nature is God! β
The old wizard nodded, "That's right, it's a god!" β
Ye Qi asked, "What you said has something to do with those gods?" β
The old wizard nodded: "Yes! Then he continued: "In my eyes, I saw one disaster after another that destroyed Lorante, in which everything on the earth was destroyed, and then everything in the material world began to be re-re-definedβabove the clouds, under the gaze of several high beings! β
Ye Qi subconsciously asked, "God Said"? β
The old wizard replied with a solemn expression: "God said! β
After taking a deep breath, suppressing the horror in his heart, Ye Qi continued to ask, "Are you sure it's several, not one?" β
