The condensed mage had his back to Barritt, and small, shiny razers continued to appear on the silver robes, striking the ground, walls, and air from time to time, as if the mage was the embodiment of thunder and lightning.

And then this went on for a long time......

Yes, the other party really carried the thunderbolt like this, and stood motionless in place for a long time. And Barrett was a little unpredictable about the current situation, and he didn't know if this mage was still fighting against the evil will of the devil duke, so he didn't dare to disturb it.

Until a small hair-like razer bounced too high off the mage's body, and was attracted by the weapon in Barrett's hand, it turned its head and "bitten" on the tip of the sword of the 'Tyrannical Touch', and followed the sword body to Barrett's palm.

The pain and numbness caused the brute to cry out involuntarily, "Ahh

When the mage turned around and saw Barrett's situation, he instantly reined in all the tiny thunderbolts around him and returned to the form of an ordinary human.

The mage looked quite young, with a small moustache on his chin that looked a little flamboyant. He didn't look much older than the magic apprentices on the ground, but Barrett knew that the mages' appearance didn't really have much to do with their age.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" he asked, walking up to Barrett and apologetically, "is it bad?"

Barrett looked at his left hand and saw a deep red vein-like patch in the palm of his hand. He tentatively moved a few times, and found that the feeling of paralysis was gradually decreasing, but the feeling of pain was getting stronger.

"Hmm...... It's okay. The barbarian said against his will.

It doesn't look like it's all right, but what else can you say? The other party is a high-level mage, and he has never dealt with a high-level mage. Coupled with the other party's unparalleled way of appearance, the barbarian subconsciously felt a little restrained.

The mage pulled the brute's left hand in front of him, "Hey, young man, is your body's magic resistance good?" He said happily, "After choosing the elemental incarnation, although the effect of the other spells I released is basically discounted, it has a great bonus in terms of thunder and lightning." He said in a proud tone, "Even if a trace of energy escapes, if it hits an ordinary person, it is likely to turn the entire palm of the hand and even the arm into a piece of charcoal." ”

I'm an ordinary person, too! If it weren't for a few equipment and skill bonuses, my hand would be charred as well!

"Here's to you. The high-level mage put a bottle of lilac potion on the palm of the barbarian's hand, "Drink it directly, and by dawn, your palm should be almost good." ”

The heavy potion in his palm made the vein-like scar more painful, and Barrett quickly picked up the potion with his right hand, "This is ......"

"The healing potion, which I have specially made, works wonders for the healing of lightning damage. The mage said triumphantly.

Do you often hurt people unconsciously like this? He uncorked the bottle and drank the potion with a "knock knock".

The potion tastes like the juice of rotten, moldy apples, with a dash of salt and chili peppers.

This strange smell alone had reduced the pain in Barrett's palms a lot—his brain couldn't care about the pain.

"Ahem," he grinned and coughed twice, asking the question he had been trying to ask, "Excuse me, Your Excellency, how is that Devil Duke Alloser?"

"Is that Aloser? No wonder it feels so familiar. In fact, if it weren't for that guy's evil aura being too strong and alerting the Magic Association, I wouldn't have come here. The mage touched his chin and said.

"Don't worry, I already injured him when I fell, and then the guy just left, or it's better to call it 'escape'. The high-level mage raised his eyebrows triumphantly, "After all, this is the main material plane, and its act of invading its consciousness through the magic circle is quite stupid. However, for a devil duke like Aloser, it's just minor injuries, like the palm of your hand. Belch...... It may be more serious than the palm of your hand, but it will not take a few days to fully heal. ”

"Then you've been standing on the circle since then ......," Barrett wondered.

"Hey, Nord, don't you feel that I looked handsome just now?" said the mage in a grand manner, "I chose Thunder and Lightning as the elemental embodiment for the current situation. ”

With such words, thunder and lightning instantly filled the eyes of the high-level mage. Barrett subconsciously took a step back, and the thunderbolt disappeared again.

"I'm sorry. The mage smiled, "Actually, I used to be better at water elemental magic. And, you know, the ocean is much larger than our landmass, and if I choose the water element incarnation, it can be said to be almost invincible in the ocean. But......" the high-level mage pouted, "when the water elemental avatar is flying, it is not as fast as thunder and lightning, and the way it appears is much worse. Anyway, every time I appear, I can't be wrapped in a large surging flood. ”

"...... are you handsome?" Barrett was silent. But he was relieved in the blink of an eye. Mage, that's normal.

Nine out of ten mages are more or less insane. But you have to be extra careful with the one who is not crazy, because he may do something terrible with a calm face.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Barrett recounted what he had heard from the window as exactly as possible to the high-level mage in front of him, without adding a single guess.

"Oh, what's the plan......" The high-ranking mage looked at the unconscious magic apprentice on the ground with a calm face, "The devil's plan, most of the time, is actually to get more souls. In fact, such things are not uncommon, and they happen every day. It's just a matter of degree. ”

"Every day, are you sure?" said Barrett, a little surprised. He had heard of many devil-related tragedies, but only for a few years.

"Yes. The mage nodded, "But most of the plans were already killed by the guild in the early or mid-stage of implementation. To tell the truth, these demons have been quite active in the last hundred years. ”

Barrett felt like she had heard similar words more than once.

"Did you know that in the past, when people died, the good ones would go to the upper planes, and the evil ones would be assigned to the lower planes like Bato Hell. This is what is stipulated in the 'original agreement', or 'primordial contract'. Even now, when people curse each other, they sometimes curse each other to 'go to hell'!" said the High Mage, "However, after the 'War of Faith', the contents of the 'Original Agreement' were rewritten, don't ask me how I rewrote it, how I did it, in fact I don't know, after all, I was not born at that time. ”

"And then?"

"Then a large part of the souls that were originally going to enter the upper or lower planes were intercepted in our main material plane, and dissipated directly into the space, which was used to strengthen the crystal wall, or some other function. Actually, I don't know much about these things, because I don't care about these things at all. ”

The High Mage spread his hands and said, "Some of my colleagues like to bury themselves in ancient scrolls and study the hidden histories and secrets, but I am not one of them. I prefer to fight, and I like to let the world see my heroic and handsome form. I'm only three hundred and sixty years old, and after choosing the Elemental Incarnation, if nothing else, I will be immortal. The high-ranking mage said ostentatiously.

Barrett felt a little envious in her heart, but that's all.

"Since then, the devils have received much fewer souls from the 'agreement' than before, and they can only try their best to tempt and persuade them to gain more souls through other means. "However, it is also much harder for them to respond to the call of our main material plane than before. Even if you want to summon a little devil like the one you said, ordinary people need a lot of sacrifices to do it, and magic apprentices are no exception. Of course, if the 'Keys to Hell' are used, the sacrifice will be greatly reduced. ”

He didn't say what would happen if it was a full-fledged mage, and Barrett wisely didn't ask, "But the devils need souls, don't they?"

We can actually use another word to describe it - desire, which would be more appropriate. The mage smiled and said, "Therefore, the devils have used many methods to put a large number of things called 'Hell's Keys' in the main material plane to enhance the communication between ordinary people and Hell. ”

"Those 'Hellkeys' belong to different Nine Helllords, Devil Dukes, or other generals. The 'Keys to Hell' also mostly vary in appearance, with some being scrolls, some being a piece of bone, and some being curved corners. The 'Keys to Hell' are basically very difficult to destroy, of course, for ordinary people. This high-level mage who likes to show off is a little like to show off, and said proudly.

Barrett looked sideways at the long curved corner on the circle, and found that the curved corner where he had slashed two swords had turned into a black mass of unknown powder.
