The strong light, the howling wind, and the strange wave of energy shook the entire caravan, and the people turned on their backs, screaming everywhere, the carts were slanting and the goods were flying with the wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Mu Qingyang is maintaining a strong posture that does not move. Suddenly, he realized that there was a strange power hidden in the energy flow that came over, and it was invading his "sea of consciousness"!

The sea of consciousness is the basic function of consciousness related to the physical body, not the soul at the core of the change of the mind. Because the true soul is already in Yuan Dan, and Yuan Dan is guarded by the Dragon. The energy that invaded the body seemed to test the defenses of the dragon along the sea of consciousness, but the sleeping dragon was like a thick layer of insulation, firmly blocking it out. These energies can't find a way back and forth, so they stagnate in the sea of consciousness and linger, and after a long time, they let themselves feel it. Otherwise, with their subtle weirdness, it will be difficult to find out by yourself! That energy is still there, but it does not have a direct effect on the sea of consciousness, nor does it have an effect on the body and internal organs. Mu Qingyang took a closer look and found that this subtle and strange energy seemed to always want to do something in his brain, but after entering, he didn't "find" the target, so he went elsewhere and tried around.

Mu Qingyang's heart sank, this thing seems to be really aimed at the true soul! It's just that his true soul is in the Yuan Shen and the inner world of the Dragon's Record, so he has been spared this strange disaster.

Mu Qingyang didn't dare to be careless, and immediately used his demonic power to solidify these energies in the sea of consciousness, neither letting it dissipate nor acting indiscriminately. In case you are covertly investigating. Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and when he opened his eyes, it was the caravan owner, his eyes were full of concern and strange enthusiasm, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?" ”

Mu Qingyang felt a little strange and nodded, "Well, it's okay." Only then did he realize that the wind around him had long since disappeared, and the trade road and the woods on both sides had long since quieted down, and people had begun to collect the goods that had been blown away all over the ground. It took me a long time to collect that energy just now. The caravan boss was full of smiles, and there was even a hint of flattery in his eyes: "It turns out that you are a mage who has obtained a sixth-order magic." Hehehe, it's really an honor for a villain to meet a big man like you. Don't know which temple you're based in? I will definitely visit if I have the chance. ”

"Huh?!" Mu Qingyang was startled, how could he have any temple. hurriedly interrupted: "I'll talk about this later, what's going on with the explosion just now?" Are you hurt? ”

"Explosion?" The caravan owner said with a look of astonishment, "What explosion?" ”

Mu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, looked back at the woods, and found a surprising scene: the area where the battle took place had now turned into an abrupt rocky ground, which was very unsightly in a circle of trees. The corpses and the equipment that fell on the ground are all gone. It is a large and empty natural rocky ground with a gentle "whining" sound in the breeze. It seems that nothing has happened!

When Luo Luo and Wen Luo woke up in a daze, the sun was almost setting.

After calming the Chimera, who was lying on the ground and dizzy, Luo Luo asked with a puzzled face, "Why are we here?" Haven't you been waiting for Zamoth near the crystal mines? ”

Wen Luo shook his head hard, patted his head again, and thought hard for a long time before he said vaguely: "You forgot?" Aren't we tracking down a bunch of little devils? Afterward...... Later...... "After a long time, I didn't come out."

Rollo let out an "oh" and said, "I remember!" Then we got into a fight. Uh......" thought hard for a long time before saying, "It seems that there is a guy who puts a chain of lightning." Well, I remember it well! ”

Wen Luo hurriedly shouted, "Yes! Yes! The man was wearing a blue knee-length robe with large sleeves, and there was a very powerful explosion later. Scolding, he's really powerful. ”

Luo Luo looked around curiously, and when he saw that there was peace around him, he asked, "What about the others?" We seem to be fighting fiercely. Why didn't he chase him? ”

Wen Luo frowned and thought hard for a while, and finally "remembered": "I remember sending a dissociation scroll for me to look for." Well, I did, and I used a lot of acid arrows and ice storms. Let me think about it, it seems like I first launched the dissociation technique, and then it exploded; Well, it seems like it exploded first, and my dissociation technique was sent out. Oops, my head is stiff, and I can't think of anything clearly. ”

Rollo pulled him up with trepidation and said, "Looks like we hit the ground and hurt our heads." Leave him alone, I guess he was seriously injured at the time, and we were blown far away by the wind from the explosion, so he didn't find him. Either way, let's go and join Jamus. Even if he chases the four of us, he is not afraid! The Chimera has come to her senses. Alas, this body is stronger than our mage. It was recovered so quickly. ”

The two of them were cowardly and hurriedly rode away on the Chimera.

……

……

Zamus flew proudly over the crystal mines, admiring the forty or fifty humanoid coke scattered across the ground. Ah, it's been a long time since I've had such a pleasant feeling, hahahahaha......

The triumphant and melodious roar of the dragon was heard far away, and then two fanged Chimera were "beckoned".

The three of them landed in front of the crystal mine, and Zermus opened a huge crimson murderous mouth like a small cave, and said unhappily with fireworks flying in his mouth, "Where did you two go?" I waited for you at the agreed place for a long time, but you never came. Thankfully, I flew back to the mine in time and burned all these little things that had taken my wealth in my absence! Hahahaha, it's so painful. Hahaha" and the beautiful woman who was sitting on the dragon's head, with white skin as snow, was still smiling coquettishly, which made people's hearts frightened and itchy.

Luo Luo and Wen Luo glanced at the black, smoky charcoal corpses on the ground, all of them were ghostly and painful. Suddenly shivered: "You are late, and then we came to this mine to recruit you." As a result, we found a group of cavemen chasing the little devil halfway through, well, we went up to help. And then...... Then we came across a guy who knew how to use sixth-order spells to slaughter your servant, so we fought him in a fit of rage. And then...... But he was so powerful that his servants were killed by him in a few strokes, and we fought for a long time without defeating him. Seeing that it was not early, we had to play a trick to get rid of him and hurried over. They don't want people to know about their "failures."

Zamos was stunned: "I'm late?" I remember flying right here after clearing the battlefield. Well? Wait a minute...... It seems that something happened in the middle...... "Even the mighty dragon can't remember it all at once."

Marina patted it on the head and reminded, "You forgot, we were clearing the battlefield...... Well...... Well...... That's right! It was someone who was wounded, and then we ran into the mysterious mage. You gave him a spell scepter to heal his wounds. Then we flew back to the castle to heal the rest of our wounds, and then we came back. ”

Zamoth immediately shouted at the two mages with flying flames, "That's right, that's right! I remember! It seems that someone used a spell to dispel the sneak attack on me when I was on the battlefield! And it's a very powerful kind. Feed! When did you sell the scrolls that spell dispel to the Caveman Kingdom? Why didn't you tell me? I almost lost my life! Did you know it? You have to pay me back a lot of the medical expenses I spent! As he spoke, his throat bulged out, as if a powerful flame was accumulating in it, ready to burst out like a mighty torrent at any moment. The light smoke between his mouth and nose evaporated, making his hideous face loom in the thick smoke, which was even more terrifying!

Luo Luo hurriedly waved his hand in horror and said, "No! No! How could we do such a thing? We have a blood pact! The spell that hurt you must have been sold by someone else. You should go to the two kingdoms to settle this account. ”

Marina patted Zamus on the head again and said coquettishly, "Put away your mouth full of light cigarettes, it's so choking." They are right, maybe they bought it from somewhere else, or maybe it was an ancestral heirloom. It's not surprising that you killed so many soldiers and ruined such a good thing that people used it in a fit of anger. ”

Luo Luo didn't want to dwell on this potentially life-threatening issue, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Okay." No matter what, the dwarven kingdom has been weakened, and the crystal mine is in your hands. Let's go through the rest of the process. ”

In the evening, Mu Qingyang sat in the caravan as usual to recuperate. But I saw Hurd say, "The air outside is good, I'll go outside to sleep." He hurried out, leaving Sofina and Mu Qingyang behind.

Mu Qingyang suddenly felt strange, in normal times, this kid is looking for an opportunity to get close to Sofina. Why did you suddenly make a big turn today? A look of avoidance. So after sitting for a while, he also ran out under the pretext of an excuse.

Seeing that Hurd was setting up a bunk outside again, Mu Qingyang leaned over and laughed softly: "What's wrong with you today?" It's as if she's been hiding from Sofina. Didn't you charm her before? ”

Hurd became angry when he heard it: "Her stinky temper, I get tired of it now, every time she deliberately finds fault with me, and then counts me down." It's annoying! Every time I touched her, she yelled like stepping on a cat's tail, looking like she was going to kill. Isn't she just a down-and-out saint? What's the big deal...... Wait for her to become my slave girl, see how I fix her! ”

Mu Qingyang smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Even if I give it to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to touch her!" ”

Hurd sat up and asked curiously, "Why?" When I am the master and she is the servant, she will feel disobeyed by my commands, and I will punish her well. Let's see if she's still making trouble. ”

Mu Qingyang still shook his head: "It's useless." Even if she dies, she won't let you do anything. I understand this. ”

Hurd was slightly surprised: "This cruel mother-in-law is still so stubborn? ”

Mu Qingyang asked rhetorically, "Cruel? How did she become murderous? I think she's okay. ”

Hurd hurriedly said: "The night before yesterday, before you came back, she killed a lot of people!" All of them were dismembered! The bloody severed limbs all over the ground are disgusting. The mother-in-law was still fighting more and more happily, like a bloodthirsty beast, and both eyes were cold-blooded and fierce. It's scary to look at. So how did you put up with her stinky temper and fierce eyes? ”

Mu Qingyang just responded lightly: "On the battlefield, either I kill people or people kill me, there is nothing right or wrong, good or evil to talk about." If she wasn't fierce, she was afraid that she would be killed earlier. As for me, you see, I never touch her, of course nothing. ”

Hurd grunted, "As for such a big reaction?" ”

Mu Qingyang smiled and said, "This is the same as you." If someone whispers in your ear every day about the decline of magic, can you stand it? It's strange not to turn his face with him. ”

Hurd bowed his head and said nothing.

Mu Qingyang got up and said, "It's just that Sofina has suffered more and more indelible experiences than you, so her reaction is relatively large." Speaking of which, you have similar experiences, and you can understand each other. If you don't touch her, she doesn't mess with you, and over time there will be nothing left. Okay, go to sleep. After saying that, he also returned to the car.

……

……

Blackstone City is located in another natural cavern, an endless wilderness that has also magically created the sun, moon and stars in the sky - it is said that this is the work of the Lord of the Abyss of Rose, but some say that it was just a rare energy crystal nucleus. In any case, it was a larger and richer kingdom. As Mu Qingyang's caravan marched along the avenue, there were endless stretches of farmland on both sides of the road, and many farmers were working in the fields under the scorching sun and stepping on the prickly grass and rocks. From time to time, you can see people in colorful costumes, surrounded by a group of servants, patrolling the fields. That was much more majestic than that of a dwarven king. Because no matter how heroic the old king is, as long as he goes out, he looks like a rustic old village chief. Alas~ the place is small, the location is partial, the people are short and very poor...... No way!

Thinking of the dead old king, Mu Qingyang couldn't help but feel a little emotionally in his heart.

The caravan boss stood at the top of a hill, pointed to a majestic city at the foot of a high mountain more than ten miles away, and said, "That's Black Rock City!" ”

In front of me was a huge maroon mountain, like a whole huge rock standing majestically in the endless hilly area. Its lofty summit was surrounded by a great mass of clouds, as if a peerless king above ten thousand people was being embraced and worshipped by countless subjects. Surrounded by mountains, a tall and magnificent city snuggled up in its arms like a richly dressed little prince, and many tall towers followed the mountain's upward gaze until a huge triangular mage tower stood on a jutting boulder halfway up the mountainside. Mu Qingyang watched the giant tower glow with a soft white glow from top to foot, and he could feel its powerful mana fluctuations from a long distance. The top of the towering tower glows bright red, like a torch highlighting the light background of the blue sky and white clouds, which is particularly gorgeous. Mu Qingyang secretly estimated that the height was comparable to a building with more than ten floors!

I was amazed by this comparison, and then looked down the mountain at the mage towers of different shapes, or like square pillars or barrel towers, and found that each of them was more than eight stories tall! And there are also colorful lights on it, like small colorful flowers blooming in the mountains, and the scenery is grand and beautiful. At the foot of the mountain is a large city, with strange shapes and colorful roofs from afar, just like a city in a fairy tale. Then he turned his head and asked Hurd: "I thought the Mage Tower was all dull and boring tube buildings, but it can still be so gorgeous?" The surroundings of Black Rock City are very nice, with open meadows and shrubs nearby, and lush forests in the distance. The top of the mountain behind it is covered with snow, and there is a wide canal outside the city, and the water is clear and pleasant. Beside...... ~Well? How come there is a castle complex over there? ”

He looked away, and saw another huge castle on a large hill three or four miles from Blackstone, surrounded by buildings of various colors that were as tall as solid buildings. At the outermost point are five or six stories high, extremely thick walls. At first glance, it looks like a group of mighty heavy armor warriors are arrayed to guard the magnificent castle in the center. However, there were no towns on its outskirts, as if a mighty beast led his men into a lonely group, facing the gorgeous and lively Black Rock City opposite.

Mu Qingyang patted Hurd's shoulder, interrupting his low mood: "What is that castle?" Why is it left alone next to Blackstone City? Wouldn't it be better to build it right in Black Rock? ”

Hurd let out an "oh" and replied in a bad spirit, "That's the local lord's castle." ”

Mu Qingyang groaned, "Why didn't he build the castle in Black Rock City?" It's both lively and can have a powerful mage to protect yourself. ”

Hurd laughed and said, "Nobles and mages, who wants to be subordinate? ”

The team walked slowly along the broad hilly road in the direction of Blackstone City and the Duke's Castle, and along the way, there were many more roads that came back and forth with the Great Trade Road. Slowly, there were more and more people on the road, and everyone had a tired and relieved look on their faces, and it seemed that they were ready to go to Black Rock City to "rest and recuperate". Most of these caravans knew each other, and so the men's gossip began. Bursts of evil laughter rang out from time to time, and in a trance, the grass and small shrubs on the side of the road looked delicate.

What a wonderful early spring time......

In the evening, Mu Qingyang and his party came to the foot of Black Rock City.

At this time, Mu Qingyang realized that the original Black Rock City also had a city wall, and the thick city wall of three or four stories high showed a strange golden yellow with a blood-red luster under the reflection of the setting sun. Mu Qingyang carefully looked at the city wall and the enemy tower, but he felt that the entire city wall was emitting spell fluctuations, and the fluctuations on the enemy tower were particularly strong, and it was estimated that there were powerful spell tools hidden. In addition, there are many powerful ballistae as large as horse-drawn carriages on the city walls, and I heard that they have a very long range, and they are generally used to deal with dragons.

It's just that this is the concentration of mages, the location of the magnificent magic academy, the only caveman force on an equal footing with demons, and the Black Rock City, where all the surrounding areas are treated respectfully - even an ancient dragon would not dare to invade easily. As a result, the facilities on the city walls are noticeably undermaintained and are somewhat old. Although the city wall is in good shape, there are a number of strange styles of enemy towers to "decorate".

However, the complex of buildings in the out-of-town bazaar was also quite tall that the beautiful city walls were "submerged".

These bazaars were built along the city walls, and there were more than a dozen bazaars of various sizes around the city of Blackstone. These places are all for merchants and adventurers from all over the world. People from afar gather in the bazaars outside the city to engage in all kinds of formal or unseen trades. Tall restaurants, brothels, and singing and dancing clubs have risen from the ground, giving people a kind of oppressive momentum. Even outside the bazaar, you can smell a rancid smell and a noisy noise.

These things obviously conflict with the quiet environment required for the study of magic, but mages cannot do without the materials and funds provided by the merchants for their research and teaching. Therefore, the mages of Blackstone City used the walls to isolate these bazaars from the real city. There is a peaceful environment for study and research in the city. Of course, in order to prevent idle people from entering the inner city, destroying the hard-won tranquility. The teachers also stipulate that only those who have the qualifications of a mage and their immediate family members within three generations can enter and reside there. The rest are not allowed to enter without permission. This decree is not allowed even by lords, priests, demons, and demons, and they are not allowed to enter if they have not studied advanced magic.

After listening to the caravan boss's introduction, Mu Qingyang nodded in agreement and said, "It's also very wise for the mages to do this, if the researchers are too close to the messy people, I'm afraid it will ruin the atmosphere of learning and research." ”

The boss wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he had to hold back and say, "You don't know about this." Mages are inherently close to merchants, just as a city has no inner and outer walls...... The Academy of Magic and the Great Bazaar Chamber of Commerce are mixed together, and they are not safe and sound? Even the power of the people can intimidate the areas controlled by the great demons and demon lords. That's why I said, if this Black Rock City wants to develop, it's better to tear down the city wall and go to the ban! ”

Mu Qingyang asked curiously, "In that case, why did the mages who established Black Rock City use the city wall to isolate the inside and outside?" ”

The caravan owner corrected, "It's not the mages, it's just a mage—the Supreme Mage, Lord Stu. He created the entire Blackstone City. Well, the largest minaret halfway up the hill is his. ”

Follow his hand and look halfway up the hill again. Under the low sunset, the top of the red tower looked like a torch radiating a dazzling red blood-colored light. (To be continued.) )
