The dead branches in the fire burned slowly and crackled. The light of the fire illuminated the dim crypt, and the light on everyone's face was always bright and dimmable.

Most people are taking the time to meditate in the hope of restoring their magic to the fullest.

After a long time, when everyone eased up a little, the faint sound of rustling began to spread through the crowd. Xnefer hadn't returned yet, which made everyone start whispering.

"Can Senefer-sama defeat the Sheep Demon?"

"If it's just a sheep demon, there shouldn't be a problem. ”

"But most of the day has passed, and Lord Sneefa hasn't come back yet, why is that?"

It was true that time dragged on for too long, causing people's hearts to begin to fluctuate. However, it was all the apprentices who were discussing it before, and in order to reassure the apprentices a little, Maher replied:

"There is also a difference in the strength of the sheep demon, I saw that the sheep demon before, the strength has almost reached the peak level of a first-level true knowledge wizard. Coupled with the bonus of abyssal power, there is a great possibility of a stalemate with Miss Senefa. ”

After a pause, Maher continued, "It's actually very difficult to kill the sheep demon. I guess Miss Snefer should be trying to find a way to get rid of the sheep demon now, and with Miss Snefa's strength, there will be no problem. ”

Maher's firm tone made the apprentices feel a little reassured.

At this time, Ingres somewhat understood what Madeleine said before, the abyss is too variable, so it is very difficult for Stronghold City to transfer.

Just imagine, if the Stranders of the Ember Rock also encountered the existence of the level of the Sheep Demon on the way to the Immortal Street, it is estimated that those thousands of apprentices would be lucky to be able to escape 1%.

The atmosphere in the cavern was silent and oppressive, and the silence was expected to last, only to be broken by a Frostmoon guard guarding the entrance to the cave.

The guard was an elemental wizard who had suddenly set up a rock armor around him. Suspiciously, he probed into the entrance hallway, and after a while, he withdrew his armor.

His actions made everyone a little puzzled.

"Cage, what's wrong?" Maher asked.

"It's nothing, I just heard a strange voice. Later, I used my spiritual power to probe, only to find that it was the wind outside, and the wind poured into the mouth of the cave, making that kind of sound. ”

Cage explained his actions, but the apprentices present were suppressed for too long, and a single outcry shattered the apparent peace.

Some began to complain, others cursed in whispers, and others wept silently.

The apprentice is far more worried about the future than the official wizard, so this negative emotion keeps breeding, and even if Maher wants to stop it, there is no way to stop it.

The official wizard is the old god, and only occasionally whispers a few words with his colleagues.

Angel felt the strong negative emotions in the cave, and he couldn't help but feel more and more depressed in his heart. Seeing this, Madeleine, who was sitting at the other end of the fire, said softly: "The depression is too deep, it will not benefit you, you might as well vent it too?"

"Controlling one's emotions is the foundation of mental illusion. Even if you really need to relieve your emotions, there are many ways to vent them. Angel said calmly.

"For example?"

Ingres: "Like sleeping, talking, or reading a book or listening to a musical. ”

"There's no musical here...... Oh, no, I almost forgot, you're a music box warlock. Madeleine raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Are you going to put on music to calm your emotions?"

"I'm not at the point where I need relief, and playing music here doesn't do anything but deepen the fear. Ingres looked around at this dark and secluded underground cavern, the places they could see were very limited, and the dark areas that they could not see would automatically make up the terrifying picture in people's minds. If you add another piece of music at this point, and there will definitely be echoes due to the lack of space, I'm afraid it will only be more scary at that time.

"Okay, if you can't listen to music, then I'll talk to you. Madeleine smiled, "I see you've been frowning, do you have any doubts?"

Angel hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard Captain Maher say that there is an unspeakable horror crisis in the ancient ruins, where does this start?"

Madeleine shrugged: "I don't know about this, I used to be an apprentice, I came here many times, and I didn't encounter any danger. I remember that someone in the Frost Moon Alliance did propose this as a candidate for Stronghold City, but then it seemed that something happened and it was gone. ”

"As for what happened, it's up to the people inside Frost Moon. ”

Angel asked this question purely out of curiosity, naturally it was impossible to trouble the people of Frost Moon because of this matter, not to mention that he was not familiar with it.

"When we flew all the way before, I noticed that the ecological landscape here is much better than the outside, but it's a little strange that there doesn't seem to be any buildings here...... Where are the ruins of this ancient ruin?" Ingres asked, changing the subject.

"I don't know. Madeleine recalled the time when she was wandering in the abyss, "Speaking of which, I have been all over the ancient ruins of the cold and have not found the so-called architectural ruins, so I have asked people this question. No one knows, though. ”

"Since there are no ruins, how did the name Hangu Ruins come about?" Ingres was curious.

"I heard that a long time ago, a half-blood demon said that this place is called the Han Ancient Ruins, and it is a sacred place for the aborigines of the Abyss during the Cold Ancient Period...... The Han Gu period is the stratification of the ancient by the aborigines of the abyss, an era 100,000 years ago. Madeleine continued, "Later, the ancient wizard learned from the other Abyssal Clans that the half-blood demon was not lying, and that this place was indeed called the Ancient Ruins of Han, so the name was postponed. ”

It dawned on Ingres that there might be a hidden site here, but it hadn't been discovered yet.

"Hearing what the adults say, the half-blood demon can still communicate?"

"A lot of demons can communicate, but only if you are strong enough. After a pause, Madeleine added, "However, demons are all cunning, and no demon will be biased towards humans. But among the half-blood demons, there are very few people who are close to humans, such as the establishment of the Immortal Street, which is actually related to the help of some half-blood demons. ”

Half-Blood Demons are hybrid hybrids of the Abyssal Natives and Demons, both hated by the Aborigines and attacked by demons.

Therefore, in the difficult situation, some of the half-blood demons began to favor humans. However, this is only a minority.

Ingres then chatted with Madeleine about demons, the Abyss, and the different Realm Stronghold Cities. As the fire began to replenish the third batch of dead branches, there was finally movement from the hole outside.

Frostmoon's escort first assumed a vigilant posture, and it wasn't until the shadow of Frosthair's fiery eyes appeared in the cave that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The person who came, it was Senefa.

Snefa's face turned a little pale, and Maher asked worriedly, "Miss Snefa, are you alright?"

Xenefa shook his head: "Too much mana is consumed, just meditate for a while." ”

Maher: "How is the sheep demon now?"

At the mention of the Sheep Demon Man, a fierce look flashed in Snefa's eyes: "With the addition of the power of the abyss, although its strength is not as good as mine, it is not far away. With the abyss as its home turf, there is a high chance that I will be counter-killed if I drag it down, so I can only find a way to get rid of it. But it chased me so hard that I had to take a detour. ”

"Detour?" Maher recalls the area near the Demon Abbey, where there seems to be only one place to get rid of the Sheep Demon.

A hint of surprise flashed in Maher's eyes: "Miss, are you going to ......?"

Xnefer nodded helplessly: "I went to the Ice Valley to get rid of it." ”

When Snefer mentioned Ice Valley, all the wizards present frowned, except for the ignorant apprentice. The name of the Ice Valley is known to everyone in all wizarding circles who have been in the abyss. It's an absolute forbidden place, not only because of the abyssal dragon with a strange temper, but also because of the curse of the Ice Valley.

If you step into the range of the ice valley, you will inevitably be cursed.

Where this curse comes from, no one knows. Once you fall under the curse, it is not so easy to unravel it.

"The curse ......" Maher hesitated for a moment, looking into Snefa's eyes with concern.

Xnefer pulled his right shoulder, and a strange white emblem appeared in everyone's eyes. This emblem looks very artistic, of course, if you put aside the extremely strong curse power.

After Senefer displayed the curse emblem, he pulled up his clothes again: "This is the curse of Frost Chaos, and I can no longer use the power of ice until I lift it." ”

Xnefer's words fell, and the sorcerers' brows furrowed even more.

Everyone knows that Snefer is powerful precisely because she can master the power of "contradiction" at the same time, frost and blazing. Now, the power of the frost has been contained, and the flames cannot maintain their balance, and their strength is probably less than one in ten.

Xenefa's strength has been greatly reduced, and if in this case, they encounter an existence similar to the Sheep Demon Man, they will fall into great passivity.

For a moment, the atmosphere that had been slightly relaxed after Senefer's return tensed up again.

Ingres also learned some things about the curse of the Ice Valley from Madeleine, and he frowned: "Is there no way to lift the curse of the Ice Valley?"

"It's very difficult to lift the curse of the Ice Valley, this is a curse comparable to that of a third-level true knowledge wizard, either go to the abyssal dragon in the ice valley, or only go to the third-level true knowledge wizard...... And now the third-level true knowledge wizard in the abyss, I'm afraid that the only one is Lord Meng Qi. Madeleine also had a hint of worry on her face.

"Abyssal Dragon?" Ingres was stunned.

"There is an abyssal dragon in the Ice Valley, and part of the curse of the Ice Valley is actually made up by the abyssal dragon, so it is almost impossible to find it to lift the curse. ”

"The only way now is to take one step at a time. Pray, the next journey will be a little smoother, and don't encounter a strong enemy like the sheep demon again. ”
