Chapter 179: Lost Lock Enchantment
The grass is green and soft, and it feels like a fluffy cashmere mattress when you lie on it. Except for the small area where Barrett and the others were, there was a fog that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, which reminded the barbarian of the Misty Forest.
But this is not a forest, there are no towering firs, no dangerous vines, and no dense shrubs. There is nothing here, just a green meadow, and there are three people and one bird standing in a daze, and that's it.
"Where are we, Phyllis?" asked the bard curiously.
It's a good question, second only to "Who am I?", but a little stronger than "What am I doing?" Barrett watched his surroundings vigilantly, but fortunately did not see any danger.
"I think the tower spirit must have teleported us out of that magic tower. "As for what exactly this is, I suspect it's a half-plane associated with the Magic Tower." Because the magic here is extraordinarily strong, and it's very pure. This concentration of mana is very difficult to achieve in the main material plane, and is generally only possible in small half-planes. β
Barrett looked at the dwarf mage, hoping to get some useful answers and information from him, "What do you think we should do now?" the brute asked.
"I don't know. The little mage was extremely frustrated, "Things are not quite what I imagined. In the information left by my ancestors, Cortana, the tower, must be polite and very well-behaved. Because Gen Keane was hospitable and gentle, so was the Taling he created. Just ......"
It's just that daughters always have to grow up and go through adolescence, and if the father is not around to supervise at this time, God knows what kind of personality she will form. Barrett sneered in her heart.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in the blue sky.
[A five-person adventure team accidentally came to a mysterious space, if they want to get out of here, they can only try to find the magical 'Yasha's Tears' in this space, and then use the power of this artifact to return to their original world......] The voice is a male voice, low and full of magnetism.
"Are you talking about us?" asked the young bard, into the voice of the sky, "but there are only four of us." β
He quickly got into character.
As soon as the bard had finished speaking, Barrett felt as if the temperature had dropped considerably. Immediately after, an incomparably familiar voice appeared beside him again, "Hey, I'm finally out again." β
The little teal ghost happily laughed around Barritt, spun around in circles, and made several grimaces in front of his eyes.
"Ah, I'm so happy, did you miss me, big uncle?" the little ghost sat on the brute's shoulder again, looked at everyone curiously, and tilted his head to look at Phyllis the parrot very strangely.
Kingfishers and parrots, there should be something to talk about between them.
"My name is Eve, what's your name?"
"Is this, an undead?" the parrot's eyes widened, "you're going on an adventure with an undead?"
"Ahem, this, this is a long story, let's introduce it later, let's pay attention to the current situation first. Barrett didn't know where to start.
At this time, the voice in the sky sounded again, [The five-person adventure team has gathered, and they are curiously looking at the surrounding environment. One of them, the Nords, stumbled upon something hidden in the grass. γ
IβBarrett was puzzled, was the voice talking about the three purple crystal dice not far away? he had already found out, but he hadn't rushed to pick them up.
[The Nords curiously walked towards the hidden object.] γ
Barrett remained unmoved.
[The Nords walk towards what is hidden.] The sound repeated, followed by a third, fourth, and fifth...... , the noisy Barrett was very upset.
Well, it's not enough to listen to you. He reluctantly walked towards the crystal dice and bent down to pick them up. At this time, he noticed that there was a worn-out parchment scroll pressed under the dice.
[The Nord picks up the items one by one and opens the parchment scroll within.] Then, he said to his companions in surprise]
Barrett did as it was, only to discover that the parchment scroll turned out to be a strange map. The map is mostly blank except for a small patch of grass where the five black dots are located, except for the east, west, north, and south.
[He said to his companions in surprise] The voice repeated again.
Damn, Barrett glared at the sky, "This is actually a map. He said with a blank face.
[He said to his companions in "surprise"] The voice emphasized.
Barrett kept his face calm and didn't say a word. And the magnetic sound is not relentless.
Don't let me know who you are," God, this is a map. The brute was very unhappy and forced out a smile. He hates to act like a beast in a circus, taking orders step by step.
The companions were overjoyed by the discovery, and the Bard said at this time.
"Well, what should I say?" Felix's handsome face was full of sluggishness.
"With the map, of course, you can go and find the thing called 'Asha's Tears'. The parrot said clearly.
"Oh. The bard did so.
[So the 'Intruder' adventure team decided to rest for a while, and then they were ready to set off and start their adventure] After the voice finished speaking, it fell silent and did not sound for a long time.
Even the team names were up to us, "Damn, what's going on?" Barrett asked in frustration with Theodore Flash.
The little mage stroked his beard, "Well, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a huge mystery, a powerful enchantment with a wide area. He sighed and said, "I read about this barrier in a book about Master Keane. According to the description in the book, this is supposed to be a world of illusion between the virtual and the real. β
"Illusion?" is everything fake here?, Barrett looked around again.
The young bard stooped down and plucked a handful of grass into his mouth, chewing it like a sheep, "What a real illusion!" he exclaimed.
The parrot did not stop and seemed to be surprised by this.
"This is no ordinary illusion, although many of the things here are fake, but there are also many real, and Master Keane has always believed that only illusions that combine truth and falsehood can be the most deceptive, rather than relying solely on spells. "You may not know, but Master Keane is a great master of illusion, and his knowledge of illusion magic is not much better than that of the legendary mage of the Magic Association, His Excellency Guy Baektes, who is known as the 'Sea of Illusions'. He said with a proud expression, and he didn't know what he was proud of.
"According to the book, Master Keane tried to build an extremely powerful Lost Lock Barrier from the half-plane where his magic tower is located, but the powerful barrier described in the record was not completed. The gnome mage continued, "At the end of the construction of the Lost Lock Enchantment, the Magic Empire was destroyed. Mage Keane, like most of the legendary mages and high-level mages in the empire, disappeared inexplicably. β
"You mean to say that the enchantment that trapped us in front of us is a half-finished product?" Barrett asked.
"It's possible. The gnome mage nodded, "Of course, it's also possible that Cortana made up that last bit of money." After all, the entire huge Lost Lock Enchantment was built with the Magic Tower as the core. And the core of the magic tower itself is Taling Kotana. β
"That is, if we don't do what she says, we're never going to get out?" Barrett concluded.
"Theoretically, that's true. The little mage didn't deny it. "What can I say, at least she didn't kill us as soon as she came up. We all know that she has such strength. β
"So what are you waiting for, let's go, get out of this damn place as soon as possible. Barrett straightened her leather armor and prepared her weapons again, "Since she wants us to go through a so-called adventurous trial, then we can only do it." β
"So, where are we going, Uncle Big Man?" asked the little ghost on his shoulder.
"What ...... this?"
At this moment, a voice was heard in the sky again, [The 'Intruder' adventure team is ready to go, but they don't know where to go. The journey ahead is confusing, where should they take the first step? Just as they were frowning about this, there was a sudden cry in the distance, as if someone was shouting "help"]
"Help!" came a heart-rending cry from the fog, "anyone, help me!"
......
