At this time, the old magician Fama X, who had been looking at the ground below the mountain, suddenly let out a "huh", as if he had discovered something strange to him. Then he performed a levitation technique on himself and floated to a site where Yamashita Hara Kanazawaen was located.
The other two didn't know why, and thought that the old magician had discovered the whereabouts of the firebird eggs, so they hurriedly followed.
It wasn't until they got closer that Alain and Moxika noticed the anomaly that the old magician had discovered, and they couldn't help but let out a "huh".
In the area of the original site of Kanazawaen, there is an ordinary ground that looks so different at this time, it is an almost regular circle, about ten steps in diameter, at the junction, there is a clear boundary between the sand and the lava, as if some force has pulled a piece of lava ground with a diameter of ten steps from it, and the incision is so smooth and neat.
Because in the surrounding lava environment, it is the only clean sandy land, which looks so out of place in the hellish scene around it.
The old magician landed on the lava floor on the edge of the sand, and looked at the sandy land and frowned, he took a few steps along the outer edge of the circle, without saying a word, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The other two also showed expressions of disbelief and bewilderment, judging from the shape of the ground, it didn't look like the lava on the surface had been ripped away, so what kind of power was it that protected such a small piece of land, and what was the reason for it, what happened here last night, it seemed that it was far from being as simple as the undead firebird suddenly waking up.
"Dean, what have you discovered?"
Captain Aland repeatedly observed the land, even if he racked his brains, but still couldn't understand it, so he had to turn his eyes for help to the old magician who was the most knowledgeable of the three, and Master Moxica**, who had the same purpose, also turned his eyes to this side, and both of them were waiting for the old magician's answer.
But the old magician still frowned, and fell into a deep thought, and at last he looked up at the two men, and then said:
"I have a conjecture, which may seem incredible to you, but it is indeed the only explanation I can think of, have you ever heard of a secret technique called sacrifice in the Holy See?"
Both shook their heads, indicating that they had not heard of it.
"It's not surprising, I also came across a broken ancient book by chance, which made a deep impression on me at the time, and I once doubted the existence of such a secret technique, but now it seems that I really can't find any other explanation than this secret technique. ”
"What kind of secret art is it, why don't you tell us about it. ”
Aland was clearly interested in this secret technique as well.
According to ancient texts, sacrifice is the highest form of prayer. This occult technique can only be learned by high priests above the rank of bishop, and it is said to take a great deal of effort to master and use, and its function, as its name suggests, is to sacrifice oneself to save others. ”
"Sacrificing oneself to save others?"
Mage Moxika couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, it's a secret technique that transforms a person's life potential into a shield that can resist all attacks, including magical attacks. Each person who masters it can only use it once in his life, because after using it, his life is gone. Therefore, it is also known as the highest and most rubbish prayer technique of the Holy See, because at the level of a bishop, no one wants to spend a lot of time and energy to learn a secret art that sacrifices themselves to save others, so for hundreds of years, no one in the Holy See has ever mastered or used this secret art, and even the secret art itself is almost in a state of loss. ”
"So, the chances of a lost secret art of the Holy See suddenly appearing at the doorstep of our Imperial Capital are almost zero, right?"
Aland asked with a deep groan.
"If it's really this legendary secret art, then this circular shield must have protected someone at the time, and this person may still be nearby. ”
The old magician added, and hearing this, the eyes of the chief of the guard, Aland, lit up.
"Someone!" Aland shouted to the soldiers in the distance, "get the scouts who are best at tracking them over." ”
At this time, in a remote mountain col house more than ten miles away from Nanshan, little Rick was lying on the bed with a high fever, after last night's incident, the child lost his only relative, was overly sad, haggard, and was attacked by wind and rain, so now he can't afford to be sick.
Living here is a hunter family, the male owner is called Jeff Carr, every winter there is no farm work, Carl and his wife will move from the mountains to the mountains, using the slack to hunt, on the one hand, to solve the winter food, on the other hand, you can also use the hunted prey in exchange for some money to subsidize the family, the family has two children, but because the winter is too cold in the mountains, so the couple left the children in their hometown outside the mountains, and the grandparents took care of them.
Last night, Alan avoided the main road all the way and went to the middle of nowhere, and it was lucky to be able to get here by mistake.
Carl and his wife are very kind and enthusiastic people, and when they saw Rick's high fever and continued to babble nonsense in a coma, they shouted for a while: "The bad guy let go of my grandfather." After a while, he was crying bitterly again: Grandpa, don't leave me.
The two were also very anxious, so as soon as the morning dawned, the man went down the mountain to find the nearest doctor to prescribe some herbs for Rick, and when he left, Alan handed over a few silver coins to Jeff Carl's hand, and told Carl not to tell the news of the two to the outside world, although Carl had some hesitation about Allen's request, but from last night to today, he and Allen can see that he is not a bad person, so he agreed.
During this period, Alan could only take some cold water and put a cotton cloth on it to cool Rick, looking at Rick, who was sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake, Alan thought sadly:
"Who can believe that the son of the former pope will suffer from this wind and cold at this time!"
At noon, Brother Carl rushed back with herbs and brought back the news of the eruption of Nanshan volcano spread by people outside the mountain, and now there is a lifeless dead place within a radius of ten miles near Nanshan.
Carl's sister-in-law boiled a decoction with the herbs her husband brought back, and gave it to Rui, and in the evening he took two pairs of decoctions in a row, and Rick's condition finally improved a lot, with less nonsense and a much more stable breath, although his body was still a little hot, but compared to last night, it was already within an acceptable range.
Just when Alan was happy that Rick's condition was improving.
In the Great Hall of the Royal Knight Academy, it was a scene of singing and dancing.
