"Freemasonry has strongholds all over the world. Most of the treasures are also kept separately. But there's a pattern to their collections. Each warehouse will have one of the strongest occult items, the 'Guards'. And there is a person who specializes in manipulating this item to defend against emergencies. In the event of an irresistible crisis, that person will also be tasked with destroying the warehouse. This person is generally referred to as a 'secret guard'. I found the stronghold in Washington. But it was impossible to determine who the guards were. They would hide inside Freemasonry as a rank-and-file clerk. No one knows about it but themselves. ”

"What is their self-destruct system? Is it some kind of super magic, or is it something like a bomb? ”

Again, this is uncertain. The final system is different for each colony. ”

"It's a little more troublesome than I thought. But it's not that it's unsolvable. Get ready and act tonight. ”

On the outskirts of Washington, over an old-fashioned military camp that has been abandoned. Lin Xuan was floating quietly in mid-air. His hands were forming handprints one after another. Although Lin Xuan was an almost all-powerful mage. But after all, there is also a focus. His study of runes, as well as most combat magic, had reached a considerable level. But alchemy, potions, and illusions are not very prominent. The illusion he was using right now made him extremely difficult.

He could sense that there was quite a large space underneath the barracks. There are at least two hundred or more people with the breath of life moving below. He didn't know who the secret guard was. So he needs to make everyone defenseless at the same time.

Of course, Lin Xuan could use an elemental storm to directly level this place. But in that case, there is no point. He wanted the collectibles.

Lin Xuan cautiously chanted the incantation. This was a large-scale illusion, and it was also the only large-scale illusion developed by Lin Xuan. And it was given the name 'Breath of Sleep'. It's just that this is the first time it has been used in real combat. Lin Xuan himself was not sure.

Inside the base, everyone is busy. Handle all kinds of documents and maintain fragile treasures. and keep an eye out for dangerous treasures at all times. Everybody has a role to play. Everything seems to be perfectly normal. A few of them looked up and looked around in confusion, as if they felt that something was wrong. But he didn't find any problems, so he lowered his head again and continued with his work.

It's not difficult to construct an environment that tricks a person's brain. The difficulty is how to deceive the other party's subconscious, and how not to be noticed by the other party at the moment when the illusion takes effect. Lin Xuan attacked his senses and memories at the same time, and barely managed to deceive everyone.

In the base now, from Lin Xuan's point of view, everyone has fallen to the ground and fallen into a deep sleep. They fell into a dream that was extremely real. The point is that nothing has changed in the dream. They're still working normally, and everything looks pretty normal.

Seeing that all the people fell into a deep sleep. Lin Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Several employees had a fluctuation in their thinking and almost woke up. Lin Xuan was even ready to kill him. Fortunately, in the end, everything went well.

"Drafs, let's get started."

A squad of heavily armed mercenaries entered the base. Lin Xuan followed closely behind, encountering various defensive magic mechanisms along the way, all of which were easily cracked by Lin Xuan. Eventually, they advanced to a place that looked like a warehouse.

Lin Xuan waved his hand to make those mercenaries retreat. He could feel that the door in front of him was extraordinary. It's not just defensive magic, it's a little bit else. It was a metal door with traces of various metal mixtures. There are several pieces of emerald green crystals embedded in it. It was these few pieces of emerald green crystals that made Lin Xuan's expression solemn.

He tapped the crystal in front of him with the fingers of his right hand. A strange feedback came. It doesn't look lethal. But the meaning it represented made Lin Xuan feel unbelievable.

"Is this time magic?"

"The magic crystal of Atlantis."

Draves behind him said in disbelief.

Hear the term. Lin Xuan finally remembered. This magical item did appear in the second half of the fourth season of Sleepy Hollow. A little girl from the future even once used a piece of Atlantean crystal to banish Joe Bu out of time.

"I thought they were just legends, but I didn't think there really existed. But if the original Atlanteans were strong enough to manipulate time. So how could they perish? "Drafs was a little incredulous.

"How do you know they're perishing?"

"But ......"

"Just because we can't find them doesn't mean they don't exist. Those who play with time will eventually be played with by time. If my guess is correct, maybe Atlantis was never destroyed. It's just that there is a problem with their timing. Perhaps, they have been permanently excluded from the time we know it. As far as I know, the people of this world have never really found the ruins of the kingdom of Atlantis. ”

"I'm not a wizard, and it's hard to understand what it's like to be outside of time. It's just that we've been delayed for some time. If it continues, other variables may arise. So, are we going to evacuate? ”

"Evacuate? Hehe, the defense of time magic is indeed unsolvable. At least for now, I can't break it. But don't forget that this is not a defense set up by the Atlanteans. It's just a bunch of half-people who put together a shoddy product using a few crystals that have sealed the magic of time. I really thought that this would stop me and help me. ”

With time magic, any magic that touches this door will be banished out of time, and it will have no effect at all. Of course, you can forcibly drain the power contained in the crystal. These crystals can be considered a consumable. But even so, it is impossible to force it open easily in a short period of time. And once you use a magical situation to attack, it is estimated that other Freemasons will be aware of it. Lin Xuan was not afraid of fighting. But if the other party directly starts some destruction program remotely or something, it's fucked up. So it's better to use a precision crack. Lin Xuan estimated that there should be some kind of corresponding other item that could counteract the power of these crystals. It's just that Lin Xuan doesn't need it now. He can't destroy the crystal directly, but he can dismantle it without destroying it.

This is a magical version of a bomb disposal story. Requires extremely sophisticated spell micromanipulation. However, with Lin Xuan's demigod body, it was not difficult to control the magic power.

Countless tiny threads of magic weaved through the metal doors, deep into the depths of the entire defense system. Several crystals trembled slightly, as if they were about to activate in the next second, but eventually stabilized.

"See, that's what I'm talking about. There are countless treasures, but they don't know how to use them. These crystals represent the highest level of spells, and they are actually used to guard the gates. I felt more and more that I should move these things to my warehouse as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's really tyrannical. ”

The door opened, and inside was a room of about two hundred square meters. Many shelves are neatly arranged. There are fewer items on it than expected. But the level of energy emitted was far from being comparable to those things of Drafs.

Lin Xuan ignored the items in the room, and the first thing he saw was the blood-red gem in the center of the warehouse.

"All-seeing eyes."
