Chapter 126: The Demonic Cluster

Previous Chapter

On the fourth floor, a small passage leading to the water elemental room was sandwiched between the battle room and the apprentice's alchemy room, an important location that had been hidden using illusions in the tower.

Shan Kaye underestimated the curiosity of the apprentices, and in ten minutes all the apprentices knew about it when a little villain accidentally discovered that some walls and tapestries could be penetrated. Then, as if searching for treasure, they knocked on it inch by inch with a small stick that stirred the liquid and turned all the secret doors out, but fortunately they didn't have the courage to break in.

Kaye and Mina had to suspend their work and spend the night locking key locations with spell locks.

"Was that all there was when you came?" Kaye stepped over the broken door of the water elementals, a thick wooden door made of cedar wood that had been dried for three years in the shade and reinforced with iron bars and rivets on the surface, and only half of it was now left, and the other half had rotted and ashed.

Aston behind him responded, "Didn't see anyone." ”

"Maybe it's back to my room. ”

Aston was surprised: "Are you suggesting that the people in the tower did it? Why?"

"Why not?"

"Several of the Outer Law Ministries are either knights of honor or gentlemen who respect the law. ”

A chuckle came from under Kaye's hood, "I don't want to mock your eyes, Aston. Moreover, there were more than just knights, merchants, and ladies in the tower. ”

"You mean...... Apprentice?" Aston shook his head, "That's nonsense, you won't believe that rumor, how can that apprentice named Kord have the ability to make the door like this, it's not caused by the mineral acid or fire phosphorus in the laboratory." ”

"But Kod has indeed been missing for a day. Kaye sniffed his fingers as he touched the wooden door, the wood sliding like mud. "Corruption of negative energy. ”

"Negative energy? Who has the ability?"

The owner of the Gota stepped into the depths of the elements, "Three options, first, the 'shadow' on the crimson side. Intelligence from the south frequently sends back news that the cult assassins there can blend in with the shadows and unwittingly kill many nobles of the independent city-states. Evil, secretive, and means may be sidelined with negative energy. ”

Aston followed, swallowing. "And the second?"

"The 'gentlemen' of the Outer Law Department, but their spells are all drawn from the spell pool in the tower, I can know by checking the records of the past few days. ”

"Third...... It's the Shark Lord. ”

"Huh?"

Kaye saw the cistern. It was a 5x10 Sami ruler, but it was shallow, and the water was only as deep as Aston's waist. The pool has no input pipes, and in its center is a small whirlpool that leads to the water elemental plane. There are several pipe openings in the middle of the pool wall that run along the tower into all the rooms below the fourth floor, using gravity to provide clean water. When the faucet in the room is turned on, the small whirlpool will burst until the water level is full. In order to prevent the passage from swelling and flooding, there is a semi-enclosed drainage channel on one side of the room leading to the first floor, from which the Giant Shark Lord ran down.

The other end of the vortex is located in a body of water under the control of the Shark Lord, and according to the agreement, the Lord ensures that the water source is always clean and that nothing comes from that end or passes through this end. When the vortex expands, Gota will be able to exchange his specialties with the Shark Lord to obtain the Hydroelemental Plane's precious catches, corals, and pearls, which are said to be everywhere like pebbles on land, which would have been one of Goda's financial resources.

At this time, the stone walls of the cistern were full of cracks, and the silver runes used to maintain the otherworldly passage on the four walls had been shattered. The whirlpool stopped gushing out clear water.

"First someone broke into the gate, violent or non-violent, and the intruder walked to the edge of the pool. Kaye stood by the pool and said, "Then, this triggered my defense agreement with the Shark Lord. He could have sent a few shark-man men to deal with it, but he didn't, and instead came in person using a projection. He pointed to the crack in the wall of the pool, as if a small basin had been stuffed into a large fish, and it was cracked.

Then he sent a negative energy spell to hit the wooden door, in the form of smoke or liquid, blocking the passage. Kaye picked up a piece of gravel and threw it, over Aston's shoulder, and landed on the gate. The intruder had no choice but to risk escaping through the drain, and the shark pursued him. ”

Aston looked back at the stone and frowned and thought, "No, if the giant shark can hit the wooden door with precision, why not just knock out the intruder." ”

"In that case, what reason would the giant shark have to run into the tower and make a fuss. Kaye teased, "Clearly he did it on purpose." ”

Aston opened his mouth wide. "Wouldn't that be a jackal as a watchdog? ”

Kaye shrugged, "My mistake, when I learned that the Giant Shark had half purgatory, I mistakenly thought it was from the devil's side, it would be more regular, but it was clearly from the other side. He said as he walked out.

Aston said to his back, "That's it, aren't you looking for any intruder?"

"It's all washed away by the current, there's nothing to see. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Talk to the jackals. ”

Kaye returned to his bedroom and closed the door. Pacing to the dazzling array of medicine shelves, moving a few bottles of colorful potions, and then the shelves clicked horizontally to reveal the secret room behind the wall.

The secret room is very cramped, and you can only walk into the first five steps to make a right turn. Kaye stepped in without bending, it was a dead end, anyone who walked around the corner would touch the pressure needle trap of the wall, and the whole ground would collapse. The real significance of the chamber is the shelf, with half a spell drawing on the back, the other half carved into the wall, and the groove added with silver. When the shelves are panned and the spell map is complete, the teleport can be initiated.

Kaye is personally very fond of this misleading style trap, as anyone who can break into his room is not stupid, and the more intelligent he is, the more likely he is to be fooled.

Kaye enveloped every inch of his body in gelatin, and used an air-purifying spell on his mouth and nose, then pressed down on the back of the shelf to launch the teleportation.

After the white glimmer of the teleportation faded, he appeared in a small circular room ten paces square. This is the top-secret place of the Strings of Destiny, and only Kaye knows the exact location, and even the craftsmen who built it don't know that a part of the tower has been hollowed out. If someone tries to locate and teleport here, the dense twisting runes on the inner walls will send the comer into the stone and crush it. The small space is filled with a high concentration of acidic gas, and any living thing exposed to the air will turn into pus within a dozen breaths.

He turned his head, and a magnificent galaxy floated in mid-air. The galaxy's sun is a diamond-shaped gem that glows blue, and hundreds of "stars" of different colors revolve around it, far or near, forming a brilliant sphere. If you look closely, each star is a tiny three-dimensional pattern, made up of dozens of geometric shapes nested within each other, and more subtle incantations linger in it.

The Magic Net Gem, as Mr. Kaye's big-eyed servant called it at one point, and Kaye continued to use that name.

Kaye meditates deeply, his tentacles reaching into the omnipresent web, rising from the shallow outer layers. As early as last month, he was able to enter the sixth layer, but at this time, his mind was like a damaged branch, and he was unable to fight outside the fifth layer. Kaye raised his hand, the magic net gem echoed him from afar, the glimmer of light, a gentle force lifted the spirit to break through the shackles, and in a few breaths, the two mage levels he had been extracted by the giant shark had been restored.

Kaye went about his daily work first, extracting two spells from his 0 finger 4 ring spell slots and casting spells on the gems. It didn't take long for the tiny galaxy to have 8 more stars.

Each pattern represents a spell, with low-level spells from 0 to 3 rings having the most, accounting for seventy percent, and rotating quickly around the periphery of the gem. The closer the pattern is to the gem, the higher the spell level, and there are currently only three 6-ring spells that slowly spin in the inner circle. The gem's effect on the maintenance of spells is amazing, and the spell energy that was originally expected to last for a month has not yet dissipated.

All this in front of us is the core of the Golden Law Alliance - the public law pool.

Kaye and Mina take spells from the web every day, put them in, and store them.

The members of the Outer Law Department rely on spell casting authority and use a few spells on a daily basis. This system is still very rudimentary, and the maintenance of the spell pool relies on "spell lending", and now it is only lending, but what is recovered is money that cannot be directly converted into magical power. But as long as it continues, when the apprentices trained with the donations grow, they will be able to replace Kaye as outputs, thus truly making the lending cycle work.

He then checked the storage of the spell pool, as the negative energy was not well studied, and there were only two spells associated with it. The spell was not passive, and he ruled out the inference that the outer law department violently broke the door.

He thought for a moment, sat in place, and beckoned to the gem, and a 5-ring rune flew out at the call.

5 Ring Prophecy System [Otherworldly Exploration]

Kaye's mind enters an ocean of water elemental world, surrounded by endless waves and undercurrents. Feeling smiling lives like fireflies flowing past him, Kaye moved towards the coordinates, sensing the vicious, huge spiritual entity in front of him, and stepped forward to touch it gently.

The spirit startled, and then a barrage of expletives came to his face. "You despicable rotten fish eggs are as cheap as the black mud under the water, how dare you provoke the endless anger of the Lord of the Shallow Sea......"

Kaye immediately took off her tongue-in-the-language amulet necklace made of gold and opal, or the swear words would turn into a series of indecipherable waves of water, mixed with eerie purgatory slang slang and the roar of the wind and rain. If it weren't for the harsh words of Purgatory, Kaye would have liked to hear the swear words of the underwater society, which was quite unique. Anyway, the two of them can only spray each other across half of the multiverse.

For a full five minutes, his voice waned, and he tried to put on the amulet, "...... The backbone is not as good as the cuttlefish's gillless seed......" he simply threw the talisman to the ground.

It was a long time later, until the silence lasted ten minutes and hours, that Kaye picked up the amulet.

"Can you use your brain now?" he asked.

"Gillless ......," said the giant shark viciously.
