Chapter 41: The Ritual
After listening to Leo talk about the emergency, the swordsman Cohen made a simple farewell to the sixth prince Changtian with a pale face, and followed Leo to the back of a rocky mountain somewhere in the underground cave, and squatted down with an anxious expression, stretched out his index finger and middle finger and pressed it together on the top of Laube's neck, feeling the strength of his breath. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info After making sure that Laubie was not in danger of his life, he gave Oaks and Onia next to him a look and told them to stand guard.
Ten minutes before the second trial, the temporary situation was tantamount to capsizing in the gutter.
There was no other way, Cohen came to Changtian again with anger, and whispered, "Sixth Prince, one of the members of our team was unconscious because of the fact that his magic power was drained...... You see, can you help us as you like?"
Changtian glanced at Brother Yun Zong, who was playing a guessing game with Yanhuo, and asked Bai Luo and him to leave temporarily without attracting attention, and followed Cohen through the Shelter Rock Mountain to a relatively hidden place.
"Who did it......? Isn't this a clear attempt to disqualify you from the trial?"
"Sixth Prince, I was helpless to ask you for help. The one who can drain the magic is probably the dark mage in Vasno's team, Bishara, this guy is notoriously ruthless, and it is rumored that he strengthens his own body and mental power by draining the magic power of others. Cohen gripped the hilt of his sword tightly in his left hand and broke out in a cold sweat.
"White snail, can you do it?"
"I'll try it! You guys go out first......"
"Why? Treatment is not something to be seen. ā
"If you could, come on!"
"Okay! let's go out ......" Changtian frowned and walked away.
Although they moved in front of the rocky mountain, their eyes were still staring at the light blue and white glimmer emanating from behind the rocky mountain, and they vaguely felt that a sacred and refreshing aura was slowly spreading around. Seeing that the situation was not good, Cohen hurriedly asked Oakes to open a barrier to stop its spread.
"Well done! Oakes, we're in big trouble if anyone finds out. ā
"Brother Cohen, we are on the orders of the Silver King to assist the eldest prince, what is there to be afraid of?"
"Shut up, Oakes, don't discuss this. ā
"There's nothing that can't be discussed, to be honest, I don't think Prince Yunzong has the strength to win the candidate crown prince in this trial. We were secretly entrusted by the Silver King to protect the Great Prince, but he did not let us help him win this trial. ā
"Do you want me to sew your mouth with a needle?"
"If you don't say it, don't say it......"
Cohen looked at Shang Changtian's eyes with an uneasy expression, and after holding him for a minute, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "I'm sorry, let the sixth prince smile! There is a request below, I hope that the sixth prince can keep a secret for us, you also know that the prince of Yunzong is like this, let alone find someone to form a team, I am afraid that he will not be able to fight by himself, so the silver king will secretly entrust us to protect him from harm." ā
Changtian smiled toothlessly, a chill flashed in his eyes, and he put his hand on the shoulder of the swordsman Cohen, and put it in his ear before he stepped forward: "No! Brother Cohen, you don't just have to protect him......"
"No...... Do that and you'll ......"
"With your ability, I don't think there should be any problems, right? Those who do big things are not informal, and as far as I can see, you are not a hero who is willing to live under others, you will do this, right?"
Cohen opened his mouth and trembled slightly, his wandering eyes looked at Changtian as if he saw something again, his stiff body hesitated to take a few steps back, and mechanically shook his head to show the biggest disbelief in his heart, and the part in the back of his head that was broken was re-energized, first biting his lip and thinking about it for a while, and then slowly nodding.
Changtian gave him an affirmative look, and then didn't say anything.
At this time, Oakes lifted the barrier he had placed around the white conch, and when he saw the white face of the white conch like snow, cold sweat was dripping, standing there dignified and elegant, smiling, and bluntly saying that he could walk normally, but the magic power that had been drained away could not be recovered for a while, and advised Laube to avoid fighting, so that he would not show his feet.
Oakes and Onia hurriedly stepped forward to help Lauber, whose forehead was sore, and was overjoyed.
Under Cohen's apology, Bai Luo only smiled tiredly, his eyebrows and eyes that seemed to be weeping and sweating and blinking slightly lost his former liveliness, and he was worried about his temples, as if he was sick with a delicate body. Seeing this, Changtian had a premonition that she was a little weak, and strode behind her to support her body that was about to tilt.
"Are you alright? Isn't it too reluctant......"
"I've never seen a prince as stupid as you, and when did he still want to help a rival prince. So, I chose your team myself, so I can only swallow this bitter fruit. ā
"I'm sorry! I'm really the one who caused you to get involved, and it's too late to quit now......"
"I'll tell you, I'm going back to the team, or they'll be worried. ā
The white snail pushed him away angrily, and with a smile on his face, he and Cohen lifted their skirts, bowed slightly to their heels, and walked away. Leaving Changtian speechless with a dazed face, Cohen couldn't help but persuade him to go back as well!
After each returned to their positions, the princes' teams stood in it according to the ranking in the big magic array in front of the magic mountain crystal, and the back was dominated by the silver king, and the six generals were arranged in the corresponding opposing formation on the left and right. The difference is that the formation at the rear has one more main position than the front, that is, the carved magic array centered on the magic mountain crystal is the second main position, except for the main seat of the Silver King, the generals and generals who are located on the left and right of the Silver King are the secondary main positions, and the rest are secondary positions.
In addition to the ancient ritual magic array, there are also two secret passages sealed by stone gates, which are covered with dust.
The magic mountain crystal seems to have spirituality, and after the master, sub-major, and sub-position are completely in place, the surrounding irregularly diffused shimmer particles suddenly gather into a circle of aura, forming a tornado of light pillars of light that runs through the space from bottom to top, and the next moment the ground magic array covered with dust overflows with shimmer light particles, raising a layer of transparent ritual magic array.
The thirteen of them stood on this transparent ritual magic array, slowly floating up to a height of three meters in the air, looking closely at the platform that looked like glass but was engraved with the glimmer of the magic array, and they were a little surprised that standing on it was like standing on a thick ground, and there was no feeling of falling short at all. Especially for long days that are afraid of heights, I can't feel the slightest psychological impact, which is quite incredible.
Correspondingly, the ground's faded engraved retro magic array became fainter and darker, tending to be dark but sparkling.
A few nobles who thought it was the erosion of darkness leaned against the cave wall with a scream, their stunned eyes bulging out, staring at the dark abyss that seemed to be sinking into the ground, and muttering to themselves with pale faces.
As a result, the light of the cone-shaped crystalline power stone at the top that illuminated the entire underground cavern faded, and the white and flawless surface was being occupied by gray patches at a speed that the naked eye could not keep up with, turning from pure white to silver gray.
The process was swift, as if someone was performing this ancient ritual invisibly, or that the second trial did not need to be started by human beings at all.
