Chapter Seventy-Six: The Altar in the Lake
Rossos wouldn't be so stupid as to stick his head out and cut someone else as soon as the device's effect ended. However, Rheins has always had the advantage of waiting for work.
The area around the emergency device is relatively safe, and Reins and his party stand near the emergency device, waiting for Roses to appear.
In a purely magical area, if there is some kind of gap, or if there is an aura that does not belong to space, it will be very obvious. If that breath wasn't Roseos' man, it was worth being captured - humans who had nothing to do with Roseos or the goddess wouldn't just be in the tower.
After the device's effect wore off, Rheins' magic mark resurfaced on the platform. Only this time their colors have become much lighter, allowing people to see what's going on the platform at a glance.
The people of Roseos did not disappoint them, and less than ten minutes later, there was a strange movement from a corner not far from them.
Rheins stared intently at the direction of the anomaly, and Biancole seemed to hear something unusual. But the others didn't have the same keen sense of magic as they did, so they could only look blankly at them, and then look in the direction of their gaze, but still couldn't see anything meaningful.
Because Rhines had warned in advance that any killing intent might cause Rossos to detect the anomaly and run away, Rossiel and her team had to stand there without any preparation. However, as the heir to the nobility, Kyld had already learned how to hide his murderous aura in a martial arts training course, so he seemed to be casually placing his hands on his waist, ready to draw his long sword at any moment.
A tiny circle appeared in the air, and a white ball floated out of it, spinning in the air. Behind it, the circle closed rapidly, leaving no time for reaction.
The orb radiated a fan-shaped dark yellow glow in the air, quickly scanning the platform, but receiving no information. Before it appeared, Reins had already set up the platform, and unless someone else who was better at magic than she came to check it out, it would be impossible to find the hidden people in this environment filled with a lot of magical elements.
From the very beginning, the mercenaries were not targeting an object or a "door" that was created when someone left the space. This "door" can be formed as a "gateway to the platform", that is, Rossos can use the rules of space so that the origin of the ball cannot be locked. The resulting channel uncertainty is too great and can easily be diverted by Roses.
However, the passage to get the ball back is different. If you want the sphere to go back, you can only go back to a fixed person or marker, and you can't virtually designate the interior of a certain space at will. At least, that's not something that the people of Roses can do.
Therefore, the passage that the orb opens when it returns to space will definitely lead to where Roses is.
The white orb had already scanned the platform, shrunk away its ominous dark yellow light, and floated silently in the air, awaiting the next instructions from its operator.
Reinth glanced at Rosier and silently gestured for them to pay attention to the orb's movements. Rosier nodded knowingly, leaning slightly with her team, staring closely at everything in front of her.
An imperceptible gray light flashed across the orb, and at the same time, the previously appearing circle crept out behind it. The ball trembled in the air as it was about to move, and judging from the speed at which the circle had disappeared before, it would have been difficult for them to penetrate the space where Roses was if they hadn't seized this opportunity.
As experienced combatants, neither Rhines nor Molfi's squad would miss such an opportunity. Pitch-black thread-like magic poured into the circle in the air from all directions, tearing open the entrance that had not yet begun to shrink with irrefutable force.
At the same time, Rossiel quickly activated the emergency device next to them.
The devices that control the platform's space system will only modify the trigger conditions of these spaces so that they do not suck people in by touch, and artificially opened passages are not controlled.
Without the obstruction of space, Rosier's team rushed directly into the entrance of the space torn apart by Rheinsilk, and Kyild picked up Biancole and followed closely behind. After everyone else entered the space, Reins raised her hand violently, and the black lines that were supporting the entrance vibrated violently, and then more black lines gathered near the entrance. When they converge into a sphere, a huge explosion is generated.
Reins didn't wait for the afterglow of the explosion to fade away, and rushed into the entrance with a simple layer of protection. The entrance, torn apart by the explosion, was not fundamentally damaged and was repaired with great speed. No sooner had Reins entered the space than the entrance was shut.
"Wow." The silver-haired mercenary looked at everything he saw with interest, "I didn't expect Roseos to be able to make this place look like this." ”
There were no other figures in the space, but it was obvious that the magic fluctuations in the space were distinctly different. In front of them was a cold cave lake, surrounded by large emerald green crystals. In the center of the lake stood an altar made of pale, almost transparent hedrons, but interestingly, the anomalous magic they felt did not emanate from this altar.
"This looks like the place where we found Lord Valuto." Biancole said to Kyird, "But this lake is colder than there, and merfolk can't live here." ”
"It wasn't meant to be used by any living organism." "Which of these places along the way seems to have the breath of life?" The trees are just illusions. ”
At the other end of the lake is a cliff made of light blue hedrons, and it looks like the water in the lake comes from the cliff, but if you look closely, there is nothing on top of the cliff.
"Except for the altar, the environment here should be the content of the space itself." Rhines said thoughtfully, "Rossos doesn't have the ability to use so many unpurified hedrons to build this kind of landscape. ”
Rosier walked to the lake and squatted down, put on a pair of white gloves, and carefully touched the stones that met the lake. Then she looked at the state of the glove, tentatively touched the lake lightly, and then quickly withdrew her hand.
"It's not corrosive." She reported her findings, then slowly brought the glove to her nose and sniffed carefully, "There is no unusual smell, it smells like ordinary water." ”
Reines raised an eyebrow, as if such an answer had surprised her.
"It's unusual." She walked slowly to the edge of the lake and crouched down like Rossier, "This lake gives me a sense of threat." ”
As she spoke, Rhines reached out to the lake.
Unlike Rosiel's calm reaction to the lake, the moment Rhine's fingertips met the surface of the lake, the entire lake boiled, and a circle of smoke lit up around Rhine's fingers.
"Lord Reins!" Rocsil exclaimed and pulled Reins' arm away, "Are your hands okay?" ”
Compared to the nervous Rosier, the person whose fingers were burned seemed calm and did not worry about his injuries at all.
"Don't worry, that's it." Reins casually brushed her fingers with her other hand, and the burned area healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, "Your reaction was quick, and I was pulled away by you before it could really hurt me." ”
Rossiel scratched her head in embarrassment, but she quickly returned her mind to the situation at hand.
"What's going on?" She frowned, "Is it because it only reacts to human skin?" ”
"I don't think so." Rhines said lazily, "You can try it, I promise you'll be fine." ”
Without the slightest hesitation, Rossiel took off her gloves and put her hand in the water. As Rhines said, there was still no reaction from the lake, only the layers of ripples brought by the girl's hand to the surface of the lake.
"Your Excellency Reins, do you already know why?" Rossiel withdrew her hand and turned her head to look at Reins, "You don't look surprised. ”
Reins pulled Rosier back two steps, and a red ball of light floated out of her palm. It flew straight to the surface of the lake, and before it could touch the water, the lake began to boil.
The ball of light slowly leaned towards the altar in the middle of the lake, but it was not halfway through it before it was swallowed up by the sudden rise of the lake.
"This lake attacks mana." "So I'm going to get hurt, and you and your guys are going to be fine." I'm afraid the couple over there will also be affected by the lake, but not more severely than me. ”
"In that case, we'll do it." Without hesitation, Rocsil said, "We will not be affected by the lake. ”
Reins glanced at the altar in the center of the lake, and then at Rosier. She seemed to want to say something, but eventually nodded.
"If there's anything on the altar, bring it back with this." She placed a cloth bag in Rosier's hand, "though ......"
"What?"
Rossiel looked at her suspiciously, but Reins just shook her head and took two steps back.
"Go ahead." Rhines hung up her smirk, "I look forward to your return." ”
The silver-haired mercenary watched Rosier lead her team into the lake, and when they had gone some distance, Kryd walked to Rhine's side with his wife.
"The altar is empty." "Though the altar has magical power, it is the magic of the hedron itself that makes up the altar," said Kyird. ”
Reins smiled innocently.
"I don't think we can just discourage young people." She cheekily said, "It's a good opportunity to exercise your guts." ”
