Derek's Mage Tower, the doorway to the underground vault.

Matthews was the first to step forward, straighten his clothes, take a deep breath, and say, "The most beautiful thing in the world is...... Magic! ”

The eyes of the relief on the secret door lit up for a while, and then a voice came out, still the question just now: "What is the most beautiful thing in the world?" ”

"It seems that I got it wrong, Professor Derek really doesn't play his cards according to common sense, obviously he is a magician."

Matthews stepped back and Orlando went up.

"Yes...... Life! ”

"What is the most beautiful thing in the world?" The Secret Door repeats again.

"Still wrong." Orlando stepped back.

"It's freedom!" Zhao Shan said, with a confident face, she thinks that there is nothing more precious than freedom.

"What is the most beautiful thing in the world?" The Whisper Gate struck her mercilessly.

Zhao Shan was dissatisfied: "This code door is sick!" ”

It was Sun Ran's turn.

Heaven.

Frigga watched this scene with interest, and when she saw Sun Ran stepping forward, she couldn't help but exclaim: "What a beautiful young man." Well, I'll help you a little more. ”

She flicked her fingers again, and a force sank into the void, passing through the hidden passageway, and once again entering Derek's mage tower.

Sun Ran was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a shock in his head, and a word ran into his mind, and he was stunned in his heart, and immediately knew that this was the so-called 'divine revelation'.

This means that there is a god in the sky watching over them. It's not bad that this god just cracked the magic trap of the mage tower and gave him a hint now.

However, God is impermanent and cannot be relied upon. The other party has repeatedly shot, and it is estimated that it is just to see them pleasing to the eye.

Sun Ran took a deep breath. Looking up at the humanoid relief on the door, according to the words in his mind, he said, "Yes...... How much power do the gods have? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Cipher Gate made a 'click', sank backwards, and then slowly slid to the side. That's right.

The other three all looked at Sun Ran, and Zhao Shan directly asked, "How do you know the Dao?" ”

Sun Ran replied to her first: "Be careful when transmitting the sound, and use the method I taught you." For there is a God in heaven who sees us. He could feel that this god had reached at least the eleventh level, and in the Dao system, she was the Great Luo Jin Immortal, and if she was one level higher, she would be a saint, very powerful.

Then he touched his head. Smirked at Matthews and Orlando, "I'm blind." ”

Anyway, the door was opened, and the two of them were eager to know the situation in the secret room, so they didn't ask much.

The secret door opened, and what appeared in front of everyone was a large secret room.

There was a blue glow in the chamber, and the floor was covered with lapis lazuli, and the floor was painted with patterns of magic circles up to a centimeter deep, and the lines were filled with a liquid glowing blue. This liquid is also the source of light in the chamber.

Other than that, there was nothing left of the entire chamber. There are no imaginary creatures of darkness at all.

"Stop! Stop! This is an unknown magic array, I heard that this is likely to be a demon summoning array, don't step on it. Matthews spread his hands and stopped the people behind him from coming forward.

And all the people listened to him. He stood at the door and observed.

Matthews and Orlando have limited magical knowledge, and facing the magic circle of a five-star magician is just a novelty.

But Zhao Shan and Sun Ran were not like this, they just looked at it for a while, and they had already gotten a lot of information from many details.

The two are in close communication.

"This is indeed a summoning circle. It is summoned by creatures from different planes, which are generally from the celestial realm, that is, the realm of the gods. It's not evil, it's only a neutralizing legal front. Zhao Shan explained.

Sun Ran looked at the blood sprinkled on the ground and walls, and said, "Looking at this, the situation at that time was definitely very tragic. But you see, most of these blood marks are quasi-round, not oval, indicating that he was dripping down, not thrown out of the struggling process, which means that Derek basically did not resist at that time. So I think the blood was caused by Derek when he was self-harming. ”

"He's lost in a presence?" Zhao Shan asked.

"Hmm." Sun Ran's eyes continued to observe, and little by little he reversed what had happened: "Derek was standing against the wall in that clearing at the beginning, and began to summon. In the process of summoning, an inexplicable being entered this world, found Derek, and took advantage of the time when he was concentrating on casting spells, and got into his head at once. ”

"Look over there, yes, over there. Derek was controlled, walked over there, picked up the magic knife, cut the artery in his wrist, and bled himself. This was supposed to put him into a state of weakness in order to lower the resistance of consciousness. ”

Zhao Shan imagined that a person was being controlled by something to commit suicide, and a creepy feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

Sun Ran continued to describe: "After the bloodletting, Derek's consciousness slowly became trance-like, and his resistance became weak, and this guy took advantage of the weakness and forcibly read all the memories in his brain, yes! His brain structure was destroyed in an instant, and even his brain with the real world could not withstand the huge impact and collapsed. Look at the scratches on the stone wall over there, this should be when he was unconscious, under the stimulation of great pain, instinctively scratched out, you see on the ground, there are broken nails. ”

"Don't say it, it's terrible." Zhao Shan's face turned pale.

Sun Ran found that something was wrong: "No, no, the bloody hand marks on the wall do not match the bloody handprints on the outer wall, they don't belong to one person." ”

"Did you find it?" Zhao Shan was immediately attracted to attention.

Sun Ran continued to speculate: "After Derek died, someone entered here and found his body, but at this time, this summoned existence was still attached to Derek, and he hadn't left yet, and he had become stronger, directly occupying this newcomer!" But it was not devoured, or rather, this man became the new host of this demon! ”

Sun Ran reasoned from the clues, not necessarily the truth, but it must be what these traces want to say.

As soon as he was boarded, the host felt unwell, his head was dizzy, and when he saw the death of his old friend, his heart was agitated, he touched the blood in his hand, and when he reached the door, he stumbled a few times, almost fell, and put his hand on the wall, leaving the bloody handprint. It can be said that as long as the owner of the bloody handprint is found, there is a high chance that this demon clone will be on him. "Sun Ran was a little excited: 'Little guy, look where you are running!'

The clues here are enough, and there is no point in staying here any longer, Sun Ran rubbed his arms with his hands on his chest, and said with a frightened face: "Matthews, is it okay?" There's nothing here, so why don't we go? ”

Matthews glanced at the secret room and sighed: "I thought there was some exciting scene, just this thing, it's boring, it's really boring, Auburn paid for nothing." Let's go, let's go back. ”

Orlando didn't have an opinion, thinking about it, with such a rough seal of this mage tower, and in the academy, it was naturally impossible for there to be any danger.

The four of them returned along the same road, and when they returned to the castle, Sun Ran asked with 'concern': "What about Auburn?" ”

"No way. Wait until tomorrow and he will be liberated. Matthews shrugged his shoulders: "It's not the first time he's done this, it's just that this time it's more miserable." Be of good cheer. ”

Orlando chuckled: "Don't worry. Maybe he'll be able to crawl back in the middle of the night. Auburn was a tough-willed guy. ”

Sun Ran and Zhao Shan looked at each other, and they could only return to the dormitory.

After lying on the bed, Sun Ran continued to analyze: "The first person to find out that something happened to Derek should be his friend, and he is also a powerful magician. Derek's only equivalent friend was a senior professor named Martin. This person is very important, and we need to find an opportunity to meet him. ”

New problems arise.

The senior professors of the academy all have their own mage towers, and they are usually very busy, and students want to go to class, they all go directly to his mage tower, and there are not many of them, and there will definitely not be ten.

These are all successful academics, at least Level 3, about to graduate from Attenborough, or new magicians who want to take it a step further.

Elementary students like Sun Ran and Zhao Shan are not qualified to see him.

"Looks like we're going to have to become a full-fledged magician soon." Zhao Shan said with a smile.

"Well, you don't have to, just do it step by step. Because no one can become an official magician in a few months, they are not geniuses, perverts, or saboteurs with a criminal record. ”

"But that's going to take at least two years!"

"It wasn't long. Two years, if you study quietly and have the support of a strong talent, it is enough to make a person's magic level have a substantial leap, and it is a reasonable improvement. Sun Ran had enough patience.

Historically, every legendary magician has had a time when his strength has grown by leaps and bounds.

For example, Eldrin, the lord of Sky City, was not a saboteur at the beginning, but a gamer. During his studies at the academy, he went from a beginner to a six-star magician in just three years!

The same is true of Solomon, the wise king in history, who only began to come into contact with magic at the age of thirty, and ten years later became enlightened and directly achieved the legendary realm.

This is the legendary life of a legend.

Now in the academy, at the same time, he is also young and at the peak of his life, and this time is also the golden period of learning for a person. If the improvement of magic level is as slow as a snail at this time, then this person's achievements in a lifetime are very limited.

"Okay, just do what you say." Zhao Shan was discouraged: "In another month, the autumn assessment will be held, and I am still ready to make a splash." ”

"You're amazing now, remember to control it then, don't go too far, there are gods watching us now." Sun Ran admonished.

"Zhilu Dao."

Valhalla, Temple of Odin.

The goddess who had been peeping at the mortal realm casually closed the magic mirror, pursed her lips and smiled: "What a group of curious little guys, I can't help but think of my youth." (To be continued......)
