The dim woodland was filled with mist, and the hot and humid water vapor condensed into dew on the surface of the leaves and branches, pressing the branches and leaves low, and when the water droplets were too heavy to hang on the branches, they suddenly dripped and fell between the deep humus, without making a splash.

The sound mainly came from the branches, losing the weight of the dew, and the branches suddenly bounced up, making a rattling sound between the branches and leaves, causing more water droplets on the branches to slide down, and the mixed branches and leaves made a louder noise, gently shaking to make the moonlight leaking through the leaves change into various shapes.

It's just the tiniest sound in the noisy rainforest, the chirping of insects, the low roar of beasts, the clear chirping of birds...... All the sounds are united in the rustle of the leaves blown by the wind, converging into a grand, changeable, and magnificent symphony that has lasted for thousands of years.

But the eternal and varied music was about to be destroyed, and the chorus of the woodland mingled into a discordant note, and a low hum began to sound out of nothing, more like the sound of overloaded machines than like the chirping of insects.

Under the dim canopy, a little fluorescence quietly emerged, and the fluorescence oscillated regularly, and each oscillation would increase the volume of the fluorescence. Soon, the fluorescence turned into a small ball that emitted a soft light, and the ball flickered a few times, and the originally uniform brightness changed, some of it dimmed, and some of it became brighter, and it actually formed an abstract eye pattern!

The eyes blinked a few times, as if they had really changed from a simple pattern to the eyes of some living creature.

The eyes circled in place a few times, as if observing the surrounding scene.

Soon, it found itself suspended between the canopy of trees, twenty or thirty meters above the ground, which was not enough, and its eyes plunged into the depths of the branches and leaves, and finally the height stabilized at a height of more than two meters above the ground.

The eyes glanced around, as if they were finally satisfied with their position, and they closed it as if an invisible eyelid had obscured the glowing eyeball, leaving only a faint glimmer of light in its place—and it continued to be faint, as if it would gradually fade out like that.

However, the point of light is not faint enough to extinguish, when the point of light is almost completely extinguished, as if receiving some kind of power injection, it suddenly shoots out a strong light, reflecting a radius of several kilometers as if it were day, and hundreds of meters in the core area of the light have been completely covered by the light, which is more dazzling than the noon sun.

The light was followed by destruction, where the light shone through, everything was ravaged by the terrifying force, within a radius of one kilometer, whether it was tall ancient trees or highly poisonous insects, all of them were wiped out, and the humus on the ground was instantly evaporated by the powerful heat and turned into a cloud of dust. Further afield, the heat quickly decayed, replaced by an unrivalled storm of air, which lifted the dirt and tore the trees to shreds, until calm was restored four or five kilometers away.

The intense devastation lasted only a few dozen seconds, and the hot light and rough wind died down.

But the light did not disappear completely, the dazzling white light gradually dimmed, leaving only a circular light curtain about six feet in diameter at the core, and the fierce and destructive light became stable.

The light curtain buzzed, and soon it fluctuated, like the surface of the water in an earthquake, rippling from the calm, but in the end it did not merge into a monstrous wave, but flew out of a person like vomit, and then, the light curtain seemed to become more stable, and vomited one after another, sometimes people, sometimes objects, but none of them were more than six feet in size.

With each spit out of something, the light curtain dimmed for a minute, and when the last person was spit out, the light curtain suddenly lit up, and then disappeared completely into the night sky.

Faust Lopez lay on all fours on the still hot sand, his chest heaving like a bellows.

At this point his mind was in turmoil, and he tried to organize his memories, trying to remember other information besides his name, but his actions were in vain.

Every thought brought unbearable pain, as if someone had stuffed a watermelon in his skull, faint and swollen, with a squeezing pain.

"Wake up...... Your Excellency ...... "I seemed to hear a voice in a blur, and I no longer saw a white expanse in front of me, and I could vaguely see a shadow shaking." When Faust came to his senses, he saw a few companions in the morning sky, taking parts out of their packages and assembling them into a half-man-tall trophy-shaped instrument, almost finished.

"Your Excellency Faustus, you are awake. ”

Faust subconsciously looked at the source of the sound.

I saw a handsome man walking five or six paces away, about six feet tall, wearing a dark black crust-like full-body armor, with joints that mimicked the structure of an arthropod, barely showing a trace of skin, but not wearing a helmet, but tucked under his armpits, revealing wavy blue-black shoulder-length curls, and his eyes were the same blue-black as his hair, and the ears exposed between the hair were different from those of humans, and there were no outer ears, instead of a sea-blue fin.

Faust's mind was still a little dull, and he thought for two seconds before he hesitated to call, "His Royal Highness Leorik?"

The armored man laughed, walked over and patted Faust on the shoulder, and said, "That's not good, you still have to exercise, this level of body, no girl likes it." ”

Faust struggled to stand up straight, "Your Highness has taught you. In fact, Faust and Prince Leorik were not familiar with each other, and it was not until the eve of the mission that the two met for the first time.

It seems that the prince is a little self-acquainted, and Faust gently rubs his temples to relieve the remaining headache, while thinking about the prince's personality problems, and finally makes up his mind to stay away from His Royal Highness in the future.

However, at the moment, I still have to deal with His Royal Highness the Prince, and whether I can get promoted after the completion of this mission depends on His Royal Highness the Prince's report.

So, Faust began to take the initiative to talk to the prince, "Your Highness, you have received the strictest training as a paladin in the temple, and your physique is certainly much stronger than us spellcasters......

Faust first came to a non-nutritious compliment according to the custom, but Faust did not think that he could be a courtier, and he could gain the favor of the prince by saying some kind words, "We naturally have our usefulness, and my mission this time is to use the blood of the prince and your god as the hub, and link the great power of the great god Aventenus, only the magnificent miracle of the gods can transfer the entire kingdom to this place across the plane." And I, my task is to preside over the ceremony and build a bridge between you and the gods. ”

If you want to have enough weight in the report, of course, you must emphasize your own usefulness, emphasize your importance and irreplaceability for the task - although the most irreplaceable is actually His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness, as the only legitimate descendant of His Majesty the King, also has the least need for credit.

Faust finished his opening remarks, and was just about to trumpet the difficulty of the task, and by the way peddled himself to the prince. But I saw that the guards who were assembling ritual supplies in the distance were divided into one and trotted all the way to the front.

The guard first saluted Prince Leoric, then nodded to Faust beside him, and said, "Your Royal Highness, Lord Faustus, the altar is ready when you cross the throne. With that, the guards naturally stood behind Prince Leorik.

Faust saw it in his eyes, and he knew in his heart that the guards seemed to have known Prince Leorik for a long time, and most of them were the prince's direct guards, so it would take more effort to fight for credit.

"What shall we do now?" Prince Leorik scratched his head and turned back to Faust for advice, apparently His Royal Highness had not read the mission plan before he left.

Faust silently labeled His Royal Highness the Prince as an idiot in his heart, and explained to the Prince, "We are now going to use the instrument to draw the power of the gods, and ask the Prince to come with me." As he spoke, he bent over and made a gesture that followed me.

When the two came to the altar, Faust did not bother to explain, first telling the guards behind the prince to take the rest of the guards to the surrounding area, and then began to examine the altar carefully.

At first glance, this half-human-high circular altar is cast in black metal with abstract seaweed and wave patterns carved on it, but if you look closely, it is made up of dozens of irregular parts, but the already small seams are cleverly hidden between the patterns, and if you don't look closely, you may think that this is a metal altar cast in one piece.

The altar is divided into two steps, in the shape of concentric circles, and in the center of the upper floor, a golden trophy-shaped container as large as a basin is placed, filled with water.

Faust went back and forth several times, but found nothing wrong - in fact, there would be no problems, these parts are different in order to match the pattern, and they cannot be replaced with each other, as long as they can be put together, it will not be wrong, and Faust checked it only to show Prince Leorik that he was loyal and cautious.

Faust jumped up and down around the altar with a diameter of three or four meters, sometimes lying on the altar pretending to study the pattern, and sometimes standing in front of the trophy to cast spells and chant spells, in fact, he only deliberately made the water fluctuate, or refracted a few colored lights.

Faust was not very strong, and he had never learned martial arts before, and after a while, his forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Faust felt that the heat was almost over, and was about to call the prince so that he could really cast a spell to pull the divine power to complete the task. As soon as he turned around, he saw that the prince was already bored looking at the monkey probing his brain at the edge of the jungle in the distance, and he suddenly became angry, and he showed the blind man for half a day, this idiot would rather look at a monkey than look at me, and he must let him suffer a little more later.

Faust made up his mind to play tricks on Prince Leoric, but on the surface he remained silent, "Your Royal Highness, I am ready, please come and assist me in casting spells." ”

The prince looked like he had just come back to his senses, "Oh, oh......" and looked at the monkey in the distance again with a restless look.

Faust once again secretly scolded the prince in his heart for being an idiot, but his expression became more and more respectful, "Please cut the palm of your hand, and then dip your hand in water......" Before he finished speaking, the prince pulled out the dagger from between his legs, and made a cross-shaped wound on the palm of his left hand, and the blood gushed out at once, dripping on the altar, and Faust was stunned.

Originally, this ritual only required three or five drops of blood in the water, and Faust deliberately tricked the prince, originally wanting him to soak in the water after cutting it, which was specially treated with a high concentration of seawater, and it was particularly painful to touch the wound.

Who would have thought that this prince was such an idiot and would make such a big hole in his hand...... The fright on Faust's side seemed to Prince Leorik to be a fuss, he had undergone the strictest training as a paladin in the temple, and this level of pain could not even make him frown. He casually inserted his hand into the water, stirred it a few times, and then turned back to Faust and grinned, "Your Excellency Faustus, what's next?"

Faust was frightened, and when he looked closely, the prince seemed to have no reaction, and then he calmed down, but he didn't have the heart to play tricks on the prince anymore, but just kept saying, "Just leave it to me, just leave it to me......

Faust stood opposite the prince, took a few deep breaths, and with his breath, cast a hint on himself, allowing his mind to enter an ethereal state, casting the special spell he had learned before. After a while, a low buzz sounded in the air, and the light around the altar was irregularly distorted, and from a distance, the altar was covered with a hemispherical cover within a radius of fifty feet, and the scenery in the cover was distorted and distorted, and from time to time the surface of the cover also refracted pieces of aurora.

Of course, this astonishing sight did not come entirely from Faust's power, Faust was just a first-order psychic sorcerer, who only served as an introduction in the ritual to channel the divine power preserved in the altar.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that mages and priests couldn't cast spells on this plane, and Faust was the only trustworthy non-arcane and non-divine spellcaster in an emergency, he wouldn't have been able to secure this task.

As the altar was activated by Faust, the blood flow rate of the prince's wound instantly doubled, and the originally pale pink blood quickly turned into a beautiful rose color, reflecting the aurora that had covered the entire hemispherical enchantment at this time, and there were bursts of beautiful red waves.

Strange to say, the prince lost a lot of blood, and the container was already full of clear water, but did not overflow, but the water level fell at a slow rate, Faust saw that the fire was almost over, and looked up at the prince, "Look into my eyes......

The prince subconsciously looked up at Faust, but he couldn't see Faust's pupils, and in Faust's eye sockets, he could only see two crystal polyhedra that reflected crystal brilliance - if the prince's mathematical knowledge was a little more advanced, he might recognize these as two regular icosahedrons.

The isosahedron was clockwise at a singular frequency, and with each revolution, the light became stronger, and at last two incandescent rays of light shot out of Faust's eye and fell into the eye of Prince Leorik. Leorik was in a trance, as if his feet had suddenly collapsed and he had fallen into a crack in the ground.
