Al looked at the inverted pentagram that was constantly stirring up ripples, and after thinking about it, he finally stretched out his hand.

When his palm touched the inverted pentagram, a suction force immediately came from inside.

It was as if another hand grabbed Al's wrist and dragged him straight in.

Feeling the world spin around, Al found himself in a slightly hot room.

There are no windows in the room, but white candles of different lengths and thicknesses are used as a light source.

The red room walls, ceiling, and floor make the room look more like a red world.

The red walls, ceiling, and floor of this room are covered with black lines, which is extremely strange.

At this time, the old man who had led Al into the room was standing in the middle of the room looking at him.

When he saw Al come back to his senses, he slowly beckoned.

"Come, kid, now that you're in here, it's clear that you've already made a decision.

Time is pressing, I won't talk nonsense, you help me open a witch array, and I'll give you that kind of witchcraft to help you get out of here.

Of course, if you want to open that witch array, you must at least have the spiritual power of a low-level wizard apprentice.

So this meditation is what I offer to you free of charge.

Come to think of it, with my help, you can hopefully become a low-level wizard apprentice in a short period of time. ”

With a hint of eagerness, the old man raised his hand slightly, and a roll of parchment with burnt marks on the edges floated from the table.

Then, as if grabbed by an invisible palm, it landed on Al's hand in an arc.

Al grabbed the roll of parchment with slightly blackened edges, and suddenly felt a slight burning sensation in his palm.

Just as I was about to find out why, the parchment suddenly burst into flames on its own.

Turned into a thread of fire, accompanied by a strong smell of sulfur, it burrowed into the El's seven orifices.

Such a change made Al feel shocked, and the whole person hurriedly stood up and retreated again and again.

At this time, he kept grabbing his hands on his face, as if he wanted to catch those lines of fire.

Al, who had already withdrawn from the [Concentration] state, could not stop the panic in his heart at all in this astonishing change.

However, at this moment, the old man's voice suddenly sounded in Al's head.

"Don't panic, sit still, sit cross-legged, distract from distractions, and meditate on the images that appear in your mind!"

El is a human being, even without the assistance of the [Concentration] state, his psychological endurance is definitely higher than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, when the initial panic passed, he followed the old man's voice and made corresponding actions.

I saw that Al sat down cross-legged in an instant, and his hands naturally rested on his knees, concentrating and calming.

It didn't take long for Al to see the image that came to his mind.

A world full of lava and blackstone, and as shattering bubbles bulged out of the lava, Al seemed to smell sulfur.

At this moment, in the midst of a huge lake of lava, the lava suddenly rose into the sky, and a circular shadow burst out of it.

Al tried to get a closer look at the circular shadow, but the whole picture suddenly shattered.

Suddenly opening his eyes and feeling the lingering smell of sulfur in his mouth and nose, Al coughed a few times uncomfortably.

Fortunately, the smell of sulfur appeared suddenly and dissipated quickly, and after a few coughs, Al returned to normal.

Looking at the old man standing nearby with some confusion, Al said, "I...... Did it work?"

There was a flash of joy in his eyes, and the old man looked at Al, nodded and said, "Your elemental affinity is not outstanding.

It's just a cut above the lowest ordinary person who has no elemental affinity, reaching the fifth level of elemental affinity.

But what I didn't expect was that your soul qualification was unexpectedly good, reaching the level of a second-level soul qualification.

Although it is not as powerful as the first-level and highest top-level soul qualifications, it is definitely rare.

So your understanding of this meditation method is very fast, and the first meditation has an effect.

As long as you hurry up and continue to meditate, with your already good innate spiritual power, you will soon be able to advance!"

After listening to the old man's words, Al took a deep breath and began to meditate again.

Seeing this, the old man waved his hand again, and a black-red gem gradually shattered.

Wisps of black-red smoke, with the smell of sulfur, entered El as he breathed.

Obviously, the gem that emitted black and red smoke was a resource to aid meditation.

If Al really wants to be like what the old man said, quickly advance to become a low-level wizard apprentice.

Even if El has the innate spiritual power caused by the soul of two lifetimes, he must be assisted by resources.

Otherwise, just by relying on the meditation method, with El's intermediate elemental affinity qualification, it would be measured in months.

With the old man's lack of capital, Al's mastery of meditation gradually matured.

The growth of its spiritual power is also at an extremely fast speed, and it is rapidly improving.

If it is an ordinary person, even if he has a wizard qualification, under this rapid ascension, it will cause a lot of damage.

However, El II is a human being, and has twice the soul quality of ordinary people.

This directly makes Al almost comparable to some races that are higher than humans in terms of his ability to withstand the rapid growth of his mental power.

Constantly in a meditative state, looking at the circular figure that rushed out of the lava.

But every time he meditated, Al couldn't really see the real body of the circular figure.

It was only possible to see that the circular figure was a creature, but more specifically, it was impossible to discern it.

I don't know how many times this has been repeated, but Al only feels more and more familiar with the world in the picture.

At that moment, the sound of eggshells breaking sounded in Al's mind.

Elton found that he could see the picture in his mind more clearly.

After this discovery, Al's body shook slightly, and he awoke from his meditation.

Slowly opening his eyes, Al only felt that the whole world became clearer.

It was as if the world before was covered with a thin layer of haze, which made him unable to see it really.

Standing up, Al looked at the old man, and he suddenly realized that the other party's body had become a few points illusory.

Obviously, the act of urging the black and ruby to turn into black and red smoke just now was not without consumption for the old man.

Although he felt strange in his heart, Al did not ask the old man about the reason for the change.

He looked at the old man and said, "If I hadn't miscalculated, I would have been promoted." ”

Hearing Al's words, the old man nodded and said, "That's right, you have indeed reached the realm of a low-level wizard apprentice.

However, your elemental qualifications are indeed a little low, and it took me three Fire Scale Stones to help you advance.

Okay, without further ado, you help me open the witch array, and I'll give you that kind of witchcraft.

We take what we need, and it's a fair and reasonable deal. ”

After speaking, the old man's figure fluttered, and he came to the depths of this room, in front of a small altar in the shape of a high platform.

Stretching out his hand and floating on the altar, an array of rays of light hovered over it.

Seeing this, Al knew that the witch array that appeared on the altar must be the witch array he was about to unravel.

According to the old man, as long as he unlocked the witch array, he would be able to obtain that kind of witch tool.

And with that kind of witch tool, Al was able to use this [Spirit Evasion] to leave this weird and terrifying Snake Forest Mansion.

However, Al did not immediately step forward at this time, but looked at the old man, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Al hesitate like this, a trace of anger appeared in the old man's eyes, and it quickly disappeared.

And a smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth, and he said, "You still don't believe me when the matter is now."

Since you have doubts about me, it's okay to leave now.

But a trade is a deal, and I won't pursue your meditation method and the fire scale stones I consumed.

But I can't give you that kind of magic equipment, and if you go out, you will have to fight those spirits on your own. ”

Although the old man's words seemed mild, he didn't seem to mind Al's vacillation, and he didn't mind that he didn't want to make a deal.

However, when he thinks about it deeply, these words are an implicit threat at all.

As a human being, Al could naturally hear the meaning of the threat.

Naturally, Al was more convinced that this spirit-like old man was obviously not as charitable as he seemed.

If Al had any other choice, he would have chosen to stay away from the other party as soon as possible.

As for promises and deals and the like, Al isn't the kind of righteous idiot.

With the possibility of threatening his own safety and life, he naturally will not continue to fulfill any promises.

It's just that there is no second way for El to take today.

With the ferocity of the spirits outside, there is not the slightest chance that Al will be able to escape.

Only by following the instructions of this spirit-like old man can there be a glimmer of hope of survival.

Thinking of this, Al took a deep breath and said to the old man, "I will keep my promise."

But I have to see that the magic implements are real, otherwise I'd rather spend them like this. ”

The old man did not hesitate in the slightest anger or hesitation regarding the obvious distrust in Al's words.

He waved his hand again, and a crystal ball the size of a ping-pong ball, glowing with blue fluorescence, flew off the table next to him.

Under the old man's control, it rotated around the old man three times, levitating above the illusory palm raised by the old man.

"This is a witch-like tool with a witch-like [Spirit Evasion] effect, I call it [Spirit Avoidance Crystal].

As long as you keep your promise, then I'll give you this thing, and you can get out of here when the time comes. ”

When he had finished speaking, the old man stopped speaking, but looked at Al, and there seemed to be anxiety in his eyes.

Seeing this, Al gritted his teeth and walked to the small altar with his feet raised.
