"You spent the whole afternoon under the desert sun in that suit," the countess handed Magellan a cup of tea, "and you are tired, and you have a heat stroke." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Magellan shook his head and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp: "Okay, is Chef Pi coming?"

......

Three days later.

Magellan wandered around the courtyard boredly and was surprised to see the mages he hadn't seen in days.

They looked grizzled and gloomy, and it seemed that the secret was not so easy to get into with the key.

It wasn't long before someone came and asked Magellan to go to the countess's room.

The leader of the mages, whose name is still unknown to this day, saw Magellan come in and said bluntly, "I need your help." ”

The countess nodded, "What do you want us to do?"

"There are traps in the vault that can detect essences, and magical creatures like mages will fall into the traps when they enter. We can only ask you for help, because it needs to be fast, and we can't get the word out. ”

When Magellan heard this, he felt that the ancient mage lord was also quite smart, and knew that the one who came to steal his treasury must be a mage. However, the mages are not easy to find, and they came to find the countess, which shows that they are really in a hurry, otherwise with the status of the mages in the Alpha Empire, as long as there is time, no one can find them.

"Are you sure that trap was triggered by a magical creature?"

This is important because there are many magical items that are known to detect the gathering of essences, but the ones that can distinguish magical creatures are rare. Magical creatures are creatures that have essence in their bodies and can cast magic without borrowing magical items. Strictly speaking, including mages who came to this world from other worlds through the maelstrom, mages who can use magic because of mutation are not actually considered humans, but magical creatures.

If that trap was triggered by the Detection Essence Gathering, then it would be useless for the Countess and Magellan to go. Helen is well aware of the truth that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the tools she brought this time are all magical items.

"That trap wasn't triggered by detecting the Essence, in fact, it was triggered by detecting the mage's bloodline. ”

Magellan couldn't laugh out loud, and he coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.

"How many people?" said the countess, who had already stood, "and our men are ready to go at any time." ”

"Two. ”

Magellan nodded: "I'll clean up." ”

......

At intervals there sat a mage cross-legged at intervals, each with a shallow metal saucer burning in front of each of them, and a light blue smoke enveloped the entire pool.

Magellan led the way down the dunes, and as soon as he stepped into the range of the smoke, he had a strange feeling.

There was an urge to turn away in my heart, the world in front of me seemed to melt, and the reason why I was here became blurred in my memory.

He let out a cold snort from his nose and strode forward.

After taking two steps, the original blue smoke disappeared, and only Shui Bo lay quietly in front of him.

"Enchantment...... ......"

"In order to prevent anyone from straying here, we have set up an enchantment. The mage leader who followed Magellan into the smoke was a little surprised by what he had just done, "It's the first time I've seen anyone who can directly pass through an enchantment of this magnitude......"

The countess, who was following behind the mage leader, smiled: "Actually, following behind the mage can not be affected by the enchantment. I thought you knew that, Professor Magellan. ”

Magellan was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "This enchantment needs so many mages, is it necessary?"

"Actually, the enchantment for ordinary people who don't have magical abilities is the most difficult to arrange. Barriers, which make people not notice a place or thing, are notoriously impossible, taking at least a thousand years to design and are still one of the most difficult to set up. ”

When the mage leader said this, his face was full of pride.

"Okay, what are we going to do?"

"A ritual. ”

Magellan didn't quite understand what the mage leader meant, and he stood there and watched as the latter took a large bag from his back and laid out all sorts of strange things.

"Key," the mage said, picking up the fiery little fish, "and holding it in his mouth." ”

With a strange face, Magellan picked up the small fish before the countess and stuffed it into his mouth.

His mouth closed, and his face became even more strange.

The small fish in the mouth does not have the smooth and cold feeling of fish scales when held in the hand, it is like a piece of meat, and the taste on the tongue is like clear water, and then, the piece of meat melts, like an ice cube, leaving only a mouthful of clear water that has no taste at all.

Magellan really felt that something was wrong, opened his mouth, and spat out everything in his mouth.

I saw a puddle of clear water on the sand, and there was a strangely shaped thing made of copper in it.

As soon as the clear water hit the ground, it began to gather towards the copper block, and the place with little water looked transparent and colorless, and when it was gathered together, it was red, and when it finally gathered together, it turned back into the small fish, and it was all fiery red.

Surprised, Magellan picked up the fish from the ground.

"This key must be held in the mouth. After speaking, the mage took out another rhinoceros horn, "This one in your hand will keep you from suffocating underwater." ”

Magellan nodded, and took the turquoise rhinoceros horn.

Then the mage took out a bell: "If you feel that there is danger, ring the bell, and we will save you immediately." ”

Magellan took it and put it in his jacket pocket.

The mage shook his head: "Take it in your hand, there are a lot of traps underneath, and sometimes you don't have a chance to take the bell out of your pocket." ”

Magellan was helpless, stuffed the small fish into his mouth, and held the bell in his left hand.

"That's it. The mage nodded, "Anytime, if you want to ring the bell, you can ring the bell, we don't know what will happen if you change to ordinary people, you be careful of yourself." ”

"Hmm. Magellan, who had a mouthful of water in his mouth, couldn't speak, and snorted twice, which meant "I understand".

Finally, the mage took out a black fishing net, unfolded it and placed it at the water's edge: "As soon as you ring the bell, we will bring you to the net, remember, if it is not a black fishing net that entangles you, keep ringing the bell, don't stop." ”

Magellan nodded and stepped into the pool.

From the side, the water is a little shallow, but there are fish in it, maybe it is deeper in the middle. Magellan took a few steps, and as soon as his feet were empty, he sank. He could swim, and he didn't panic, as usual, he stretched out his arms, but unexpectedly, this trick failed to make him float on the surface as usual.
