Chapter 198: King to King
When Liu Li opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside the carriage, and he didn't know when he had broken away from the state of elemental form and returned to the body that originally belonged to a human being. The night of meditation made the state of Liu Li's meditation space more and more distinct, and it was no longer the chaotic appearance when he condensed the runes before. The torrent of elements above the clear blue no longer erupted, and the elemental circulation between the nodes stabilized, showing an endless appearance. The shattered crystal clusters also coalesced again, only this time to become a complete crystal, filling the meditation space.
"Heh, is this lying on the floor of the proving ground all night, really...... Huh?" Liu Li, who was talking to himself, looked around, but found that something familiar appeared on the ground, "One, two, three...... Wow, there are fourteen of them!"
Playing with the round spar in his hand, Liu Li couldn't be happier, isn't this the kind of spar that was comparable to a sixth-order magic crystal that was condensed after receiving treatment from the Ancient Tree of Life?
Liu Li is very poor, although as a spellcaster is destined to have no worries about food and clothing, but compared to other fourth-order mages, Liu Li is really poor. He has no shortage of experience, and the test between life and death makes him rich in combat experience, but the rapid speed of promotion has left him with little time to gather various resources. Most of the spellcasters who are expected to be promoted to the high level have already started to stock up on the materials for building the mage tower when they are at the middle level, but Liu Li has not even started this work, and he has not even carefully considered the location of the mage tower.
These fourteen elemental crystals came at the right time, and although according to Triva, it was best to keep them for their own use, and not suitable for exchanging them, but they were more than enough as energy supply nodes for the elemental pool and other magic circles.
Liu Li had an idea, he planned to make the carriage that Landolia gave him to be comparable to a regular mage tower, instead of fixing the mage tower somewhere like other spellcasters. When condensing the exclusive runes before, Liu Li clearly felt his connection with several other small worlds, and he had a feeling in his dark that those strange worlds were destined to be experienced in person after the high level. And a mage tower is the greatest guarantee for one's own safety.
Pushing open the door of the trial ground, what appeared in front of Liu Li was the corridor that I don't know how many times I had walked and was already extremely familiar, but in this familiar environment, there were obviously several ...... Or a few foreign objects - Tetsu and Yuki are sleepily getting up from the ground, it is clear that the two of them also slept on the floor last night, while the two little ones "Shan" and "Mang" are still asleep, curled up in the corner and snoring softly.
"Have you seen the teacher?"
Liu Li's question was like turning on some switch, and the two white dragons that turned into human forms instantly came to their senses after hearing Liu Li's question, which showed what a huge psychological shadow the terrifying witch had left on them.
"Well, Mistress Landall left early, and she told you to get to Orosha Castle as soon as possible. ”
"By the way, she also said that the matter here has been settled, so that you don't have to worry about the city lord's entanglement. Knot added.
Liu Li, who took the four living creatures back into the meditation space and threw the carriage into the storage space, rushed to Zerus's residence, "I don't know how Zerus and Frei rested after the witch's visit, it must not be too good." Liu Li thought gloatingly.
When Liu Li saw Zerus and Frey again, the two senior spies were waiting for his return restlessly with dark circles under their eyes, but Lin, who was sitting on the side, was in good spirits, and it seemed that she had a good rest last night.
"Huh, Liu Li, you're finally back!"
After listening to Zerus's explanation, Liu Li knew why he and Frey were in such a state. The place where Landolia and Molière traded was their residence, which made the two spies embarrassed and a little worried, especially after the witch left, they were always afraid of the revenge of the city lord, and they didn't dare to let their guard down for a moment. For them, it is common not to sleep all night, but maintaining a tense state at all times really makes the two of them tired enough, and the pressure of the high level is pressed in their hearts, which is not something that anyone can bear, and the two of them don't know that Molière's high level is actually a "parallel import".
"Lin, didn't you tell them?" Liu Li looked at the innocent little Lori, obviously she could see a hint of schadenfreude in her seemingly innocent big eyes, obviously she didn't tell the two of them about Molière's true strength.
"Well, forget it, let's go, there's another problem to face. After a long time together, Liu Li can somewhat understand another layer of deep meaning behind Landolia's order, going to Orosha Castle is bound to cross the frontal battlefield, which is the next test that the witch gives him.
Blood and steel, accompanied by the dance of the elements, this is the first time Liu Li has faced the war of this world. In terms of discipline, Bair's military formation was superior, but the seemingly scattered but implicit layout of the Kronos Empire was able to fight the enemy with great success. Especially the occasional outbreak of the mercenary whimsical version makes people feel like a genius.
In fact, from this war, you can see the difference in the style of the two empires. Whether it is a mercenary or a mage regiment in the Bayer Empire, they all have a fierce momentum that is not afraid of death, and the harsh living environment has created a steel-like discipline, making their battle formations like a great wall of steel, giving people a sense of indestructibility.
On the other hand, the Kronos Empire, because nearly half of its combat power comes from mercenaries, is far inferior to the Bayer Empire in terms of discipline, but most of the mercenaries usually have a few "unique skills at the bottom of the box", which makes the Bayer Empire's original stable layout often have accidents of one kind or another. The mercenary team lacks rigor and looks very lightly in terms of life and death, this profession that wears their heads on their belts all year round allows them to face death with laughter, and their momentum is not inferior to that of Bayer's regular army.
"How did this pass. The four people hiding on the edge of the battlefield looked at the war scene in full swing and were a little dumbfounded for a while. Because of the mercenaries' "disturbances", the entire battlefield was like a pot of porridge, so that Liu Li, who originally planned to pass quietly, had to give up his previous idea.
In fact, Liu Li still has a backup plan, but this plan has died before it can be activated, he originally planned to let Zhehe Jie fly directly with a few people, but the two white dragons said that no one other than Liu Li would be allowed to climb on their backs, and even Lin, who was already very familiar, was among the rejection figures. Liu Li and Bailong are friends and have a symbiotic relationship, he can feel their resistance, and naturally he will not make excessive demands.
"Now, Liu Li, how about killing the past?"
Liu Li has a headache, he not only has to find a way to rush across the battlefield and reach the castle of Orosha, but also always pay attention to the eager little Lori next to him. It wasn't easy, and after only hiding on the edge of the battlefield for ten minutes, it was the fourth time he had heard Linti's request.
"Don't make a fuss, I don't want to be noticed by the higher-ups, it's best to go quietly. ”
Liu Li didn't know that at this moment, in another void space that overlapped with the entire battlefield, there were two sixth-order people at the apex of the world facing each other.
......
"'Black Hole Witch', you'd better get out of the way, you're not my opponent when you're new to the sixth order, and I don't want to waste too much time. Coren looked arrogant, he recognized Landolia's talent, but he also had the self-confidence of the old sixth order, although he didn't want to face the witch head-on, but if he really wanted to fight, he didn't think he would lose.
"Hehe, old thing, strength and weakness of this kind of thing can't be determined by the length of cultivation, how can you know if you don't fight. Landolia's respect for the old and love for the young has always been different from person to person, and her attitude towards people who have nothing to do with her can be called indifferent, not to mention this kind of faintly hostile old guy, "I haven't settled accounts with you about breaking the balance personally, let alone stopping you here, no one dares to say anything about me even if I beat you." ”
Coren personally broke Wells's arrangement, which had already made Landolia dissatisfied, and she couldn't wait to fight a game, first, to be angry for Wells, and secondly, to test her own strength after being promoted to the sixth order, and it was also intentional to stop Coren in the subspace at this time.
"I know what you're going to do, my sweet grandson was taken by me, do you want to know where I hid him?"
Without waiting for Koren to respond, the black elements that covered the sky and the sun condensed into black holes, shining with the pitch-black arc, forming a huge magic circle around the witch. The battle-spirited Landoria would not underestimate her opponent, after all, she was an old sixth-order powerhouse, and she couldn't help but deal with it carelessly.
With Ian as the center, hundreds of black holes as nodes, and a pitch-black arc that casts terrifying power as the path, a three-dimensional circle—perhaps more appropriately called the "Lost Lock"—was constructed by Landoria. She actually spent one night studying Molière's Mystery Lock, and added her own deep understanding of the magic array, and arranged a Mystery Lock that reached the third stage in an instant.
Seeing this situation, Coren didn't dare to be careless, whether it was for his grandson or to frustrate the witch's spirit, he had to go all out. "Lost Lock" is the defense core of the elven race, and Coren, who is a sixth-order spellcaster, knows that it is powerful.
Coren raised the staff lightly, and a dazzling glow burst out, and the white light pierced the darkness, draping the old mage in a white robe. It's just that this glow pierced into the "Lost Lock", but it was gradually swallowed up by the Great Array like ice and snow melting, and there was no other achievement except for the collapse of a few black hole nodes.
As a sixth-order major in the white element, Koren has not many options to deal with, except for head-on confrontation, he can't break Landolia's "maze lock" through differentiation and guidance. In addition, the witch made up her mind to stop him and directly blocked this subspace, which made Coren feel a headache.
As it stands, Landolia has made up her mind to besiege and defend with a "lost lock", and Colon can only rely on hard-hitting attacks to break out. It's just that the characteristics of the white spell are destined to be weak in attack, and Coren can't break out of the encirclement in a short time.
"Ha, old thing, you talk so much, are you so capable?"
As if stimulated by Landolia's wild words, Coren took out a white spar from his bosom with a pained expression. It was a strange object he had found in the depths of the Western Desert Jedi, containing a white element that he simply could not comprehend. If Liu Li saw this scene, he would definitely say to Keren happily: "I've eaten a lot of this thing!"
