"Calamity? What a calamity. ”

Natsu tensed.

She looked at the half-elf girl who was as quiet as usual, since a certain moment, she felt that the other party was a little strange, but she didn't expect it to be because someone had hinted at it.

"It's hard to tell."

The Lich's humanity is not entirely lost, and it does not utter the most terrible answers:

"In short, you have to keep an eye on her at all times and don't let her act alone, otherwise it may cause irreparable consequences."

"I see."

Natsu's face turned ugly.

"Regarding going to the underwater temple, I want you to investigate with me first."

She changed her plan to act together, and decided to go to the bottom of the ocean with the lich first.

"I'll let Delia take good care of her...... If Sadonan and the black cat are there, the safety of the above can also be guaranteed, and the black cat can contact me at any time if there is a problem. ”

After calming the crowd, she and the lich dived into the water under the pretext of scouting.

"This tree is truly extraordinary."

Looking at the giant tree shrouded in hazy blue waves, the lich sighed.

"It has not been soaked and rotted by the sea, nor has it been broken by the tides and undercurrents, and it has stood at the bottom of the sea for an unknown number of years; Although time in this vicinity is stagnant, it still cannot erase its own magic. ”

"There seems to be a contradiction in this sentence, if time stands still, won't things never change?"

Xia looked at the trunk that continued to stretch downwards and seemed to have no end, and said worriedly.

"Huh...... By the time you get to this point someday, you'll probably understand, my partner. ”

The lich laughed and sold out.

"Do you have the ability?"

Xia muttered in his heart, and dived down with it.

After diving to a depth of about 2,000 meters, Xia began to struggle a little.

Originally, she could still use the method of swallowing water to ventilate, but now her lungs were like being pressed into a very small space by a bottle, and it was extremely difficult to move, and finally she simply closed her breath completely.

"Looks like we're there."

At 2,500 meters, the lich saw the closed gate below.

It was a transparent crystal door of the same color as the sea, and it seemed to be nearly 2 meters thick, forming a space without seawater directly west of the giant tree, and a large number of bubbles filled the vicinity.

"It's an undersea temple...... It's a bit small. ”

Natsu tried to keep his eyes open, observing the scenery inside the temple.

It wasn't long before she found a small door beneath the smooth bark of the World Tree.

"That's where Stephanie said, let's go to the temple gate first and see if we can open it."

She sneaked all the way to the door, puffing out her cheeks and searching the door.

"Buzz!" There was a sudden concussive sound from the lich's side.

Xia turned his head to look, only to see a golden light shining on the lich's hand bones, and just now it used its divine power to carry out a tentative attack on the transparent outer wall.

"It's a very strong defense, it's almost impossible to break."

The golden light on the lich's hand went out, and he came to the left side of the door:

"I just found out that this thing doesn't seem to be a decorative pattern."

It pointed to a groove and said:

"It's the shape of a sword, maybe you should come up with something and try it."

"I see it too, but I don't have a sword of this shape."

Natsu is very familiar with his weapons, which is what a skilled swordsman must do.

"No, didn't you notice, it's a big groove."

The lich took out his staff and stuck it to it, and the staff instantly became like metal caught by a magnet, embedded in the groove.

But after a while, the staff fell.

"Huh?"

The lich looked at the staff and let out a confused voice.

"What's wrong?"

Xia You asked as he walked up to it, looked at the pitch-black staff.

"The staff's energy has changed."

"It's only a little bit of an increase...... However, it can be felt that it is very different. ”

The lich's hand rose slightly, and a blue glow glowed from the staff.

"As long as it is called an 'artifact', it does not actually depend on how well it is made, because no matter how good the materials and structure are, it also has its weaknesses and limits."

The lich put the staff down:

"The power of an artifact depends on the energy contained in it, the higher the quality, the greater the power, and the longer the effect; The keyhole of this temple actually has the effect of charging the artifact. ”

"Are you sure it's a keyhole and needs a sword to pick the lock?"

Xia stared at the groove carefully for a while, and asked the black-clothed little Lori for his best weapon.

"If there's one sword that's most likely, it's this one."

She muttered to herself.

The sword was already a little dim, and the light was no better than usual, and as soon as it was put down, it was firmly sucked in like the staff just now.

Then the transparent walls of the entire undersea temple faintly shone brightly, and countless vein-like energies began to rush towards the grooves.

Unlike the staff, which clinged to the grooves, the sword gradually melted into the crystal wall, and the blade began to charge like a whale absorbing water, and then a sound was heard on the temple door, and a crack suddenly appeared in the area that was originally like a whole crystal.

"Let me come, buddy."

The danger of entering the unknown space was not forged by the Lich, and it made Natsu hide far away and put his hand bone on the door.

A circle of blue water appeared in front of the temple, and the place where the hand bones touched the gate slowly retreated, and a gap appeared in the transparent outer wall of the temple.

"The sea can't get inside, it's a waterproof barrier."

It stuck its hand bones inside, and could see that the light was visibly distorted.

"Before I go in, I'll make a guess."

The lich did not immediately go inside, but withdrew his hand and said:

"This door lock is very special, it is not a mechanism at all, but a groove that connects the entire temple's guardian enchantment, and it requires artifact-level items to weaken the energy of the enchantment so that the door can be opened."

"I'm afraid it's the same inside, mate, you see there's the same groove there."

It pointed to the inner wall on the right, where there was indeed a sword-shaped depression:

"My staff isn't enough to absorb enough energy, and your sword can, but once it's absorbed, we're afraid it's going to be hard for us to come out, can you think of a solution to this problem?"

“……”

Natsu beckoned to the black-clothed little Lori and asked her to take out the weapons that had failed to enchant.

"Are these okay?"

She showed a few to the lich.

"These weapons are almost broken, presumably because of excessive enchantment."

The Lich is worthy of being a master of dwarven fabrication, and can see the state of these weapons at a glance.

"This one, this one, and this one......"

It points to several extremely high-quality swords, as well as the long black knives that he had obtained in the underground warehouse in the early summer:

"They should all hold up for a while."

"That way we won't have to worry about anything, mate."

The lich seemed to be pleased:

"Now, come in with me, this temple has an unobstructed view of the traps, and I don't think we'll be in any danger that will be difficult to deal with."

"Master."

The little Lori in black suddenly raised her head:

"I feel something rapidly approaching here."

"No breath detected."

She tried to probe the other party's number, and suddenly panicked:

"It's supposed to be a very powerful thing, I don't know if it's a human or a monster."

"There may be an enemy coming, hurry inside!"

There is a transparent sea all around, and although there is no light, they can still be seen by the truly powerful.

With a twinkle in his eyes, the lich rushed inside the door first, and Xia You turned around and pressed his hand against the transparent door after entering, trying to close it.

"Can't close!"

She used all her strength to feed, but the crystal door didn't move.

"Master, that thing is here!"

The little Lori in black issued a warning.

Natsu and the lich looked up, only to see a golden figure appear in the lightless water.

The speed of this figure was very fast, and it rushed down from above in an instant, and the target was obviously the temple gate that had been opened.

"Telekinesis Manipulation!"

Natsu hung the long black knife that had not yet been put away in the water and pressed it against the groove in the door.

"Kaz!"

The long black knife was sucked into the groove.

"Dangchang!"

The sword, which was absorbing energy, was squeezed out of the crystal and landed on the floor of the temple with a crisp sound.

"Come out!"

Xia used brute force to pull the long black knife that was not yet fully embedded out of the groove, and this qiē was like a flint of lightning, and it was completed in just the blink of an eye.

"Giggle......"

As soon as the long black knife left, the crystal door quickly closed towards the gap.

"Boom!!"

The golden man slammed into the temple gate like a cannonball.

The aftermath of the impact erupted through the crack in the door that had not yet been closed, sending Natsu and the Lich backwards and tumbling to the ground.

"Ahem...... Who? ”

Natsu was shocked by the power of the collision, coughed and climbed up from the floor, and saw a blonde beauty with a resentful face appear on the outside of the closed gate.

Helen was in a very bad mood.

She had made her way to the Elemental Plains a few days earlier, but she had not found a way to enter it.

With her rich experience, she had also thought about doing something with that groove, but as the Order's High Priest of Light, how could she have tattered goods on her body?

"I spent so long looking for the weapons dropped by those dead ghosts, but I didn't expect to be preempted!"

She looked at the lich and the silver-haired girl inside, and although her breath was cut off by the thick crystal, she intuitively concluded that the other party was definitely not her opponent.

"Oh my God."

Xia inside was suddenly shocked by the other party's appearance.

Since coming into this world, she has seen several stunning girls, but this blonde beauty has an indescribable holy temperament, and her mature charm is revealed in almost every movement of her, and even her angry appearance is extremely moving. R1152
