37. Strange talk in the attic (on the shelf eighth change)
"What the hell do you want to do? Eliven Mogedin!"
Not to mention the "Eleven" who seemed to have been completely defeated by reality, No. 9 still had that expressionless appearance, and in the next moment, Elevenn stretched out his hand and flicked it twice, and the ice coffins on the bodies of the two spirit bodies quietly shattered, and Elevenn also pulled out the thin sword given to him by the dwarf god king Gar-Shining Gold Torvorkin from his cane. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Come on, let's have a fateful duel! There is no defeat, no victory, only the remaining final consciousness is qualified to control the body outside this spiritual world!"
"But I don't have your ability to conjure weapons out of thin air, and neither does he!"
Number 9 lifted his glasses and uttered his words of protest in a very ordinary tone.
"It's okay! I'll teach you! It's easy!"
Elevenn held the red makeup in front of his eyes, and glanced at the completely unconscious, four-limbed "Eleven", who was staring at him with red eyes and baring his teeth viciously.
"He probably won't need it!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“... Call... Whew!!"
It was like a drowning man crawling out of the first breath of air he breathed from sleep, and Eleven, who suddenly opened his eyes, gulped and greedily breathed air, and his whole body twisted on the stone platform, but he didn't know why, but the hard breathing still couldn't make the oxygen content in his body return to normal, he was like a fish thrown out of the water, churning hard, and finally turned around and fell from the stone platform to the cold ground.
"Ahh
The lungs were filled with the raised Eleven, who lay on the ground regardless of the image, and laughed arrogantly while slapping the ground, but this is not difficult to understand, in the case of risking the destruction of his soul and memory, and he who has gone crazy to learn the truth and he who looks like a sissy on the surface but is as fierce as a wild dog, after a passionate confrontation in the mental space that has completely changed, he is already in a very difficult situation after dragging his seriously injured body to regain control of his body, and in this case, it seems that he has something wrong with adapting so quickly, which is indeed not a simple thing, but fortunatelyHe did it.
Unfortunately, this was not done by him alone.
"Hey, boy, yes, it's you, do you know who I am?"
Just as Eliven laughed and knocked on the floor like a nervous man, a slightly old voice came into his ears in the silence, this will be the young man who has just experienced a life-and-death struggle can bear this?
The ice pick didn't seem to be intimidating, not even a third of the size of his current Realm Ice Arrow, but its speed was definitely more than five times that of the Ice Arrow, and almost the moment Elivan shook his hand, three crisp crashing sounds resounded throughout the top floor of the tower.
"Hehe, the young man is quite angry! This spell is interesting, giving up the frost magic can be called a terrible group lethality, completely turning to speed and penetration, the opponent is a little slower is the end of three swords and six eyes, if you are lucky, you will hit the key point directly, that is an instant kill, yes, yes, it is difficult to find a promising little guy like you in the current wild mage!"
The old man's voice still did not appear, but the middle-spirited comments showed that the lightning-fast blow just now did not hurt him at all, which somewhat made Eleven, who had just broken through the limit and was still proud in his heart, suddenly startled, and then his face collapsed, why did he have to encounter such an impossible enemy every time?
Last time it was yodel, this time it's this old guy, if I'm not mistaken, he should be called...
"Rodnal!"
The old voice came into the mind of Elivan who was thinking again, and instantly interrupted his memory, and then he subconsciously asked,
"What?"
It's still the old man in a weird dress, but this time he put his hands behind his back, looking like a very stylish figure, and in the face of Elivan's question, the old man who slowly came out of the darkness snorted coldly and said disdainfully,
"Aren't you remembering my name? Rodinall, that's my name!"
"Huh!"
Like a black cat, Elivan quickly jumped up from the spot, and then several backward jumps stood far away from the old man, and pointed at him with a surprised face and shouted,
"You... Can you see through people's hearts?"
"No, I can't, it's just that your expression is too easy to guess. ”
Rodnar didn't seem to want to say anything to Eliven, he dodged, and his body disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he had already done it on the throne he was hiding in the shadows, and the corner of Eliven's mouth pulled out a smile, almost like the old man's body shook, and the whole person was still standing in place, but the other he appeared in the position of the old man just now, with a snap of his fingers stretched out his hand, the vivid figure that was still standing in place was like melting ice, and quickly dissolved in place, but there was not even a trace of water stains left on the ground。
Seeing this scene, the corners of Rodnal's eyes, who buried his face in the dark, twitched, but soon said calmly,
"Nice teleportation, a combination of the essence of space magic and ice magic, what's its name?"
"My improved six-ring magic-spatial teleportation, I call it the Shadow of Ice"
Elevenn spread out his hands and didn't blush as he put the name he had just thought of on the arcane space magic he had just learned, he didn't know Rodinor well, so there was no need to tell him the truth, did he?
And Rodnar, who was sitting on the throne, pouted his lips disdainfully, for a character like him, Elivan's strange elemental fluctuations had almost no secrets in his eyes, but due to the uniqueness of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, the old man would still regard Elivan as the heir of some kind of ancient inheritance, but he would not try to break this secret, in his time, almost every mage had his own secret, and Rodnar, who was also a mage, had long learned to suppress his curiosity.
The mage world of the Second Age was not as peaceful as the Third Age, and in that era of individual heroism and the pinnacle of individual combat effectiveness, too much curiosity often meant imminent death.
"Well, now that you're awake, let's talk about something else. ”
Rodnal waved his hand, and a clear image appeared in front of Elivan, almost not too much of his surprise, Wendy, who fell into a coma but had no scars around him, appeared on that image, obviously, the old man had brought out several people who were almost desperate from the dark realm before, because Elivan's past, the present and the chaos in the spiritual world of the three-person war, those weird dark streams have long been rampant, they transformed into all kinds of monster legions in Elivan's memory, divided into three camps, almost in a crazy fight, the undead natural disaster against the tide of zombies, the invisible death besieged the dark race, This battle is watched with relish even by the well-informed Rodnar, especially the Skeleton King who was finally incarnated in chaos, the Lord of Death who incarnated in the past, and the three-on-three battle of the Lich King of the current Eli Cultural Body, and the magic of the other world that hurried Rodnar applauded from time to time, Eleven's strength was not worth mentioning in his opinion, but only this insight was absolutely a must.
You know, what you haven't seen with your own eyes won't be revealed in the Dark Realm.
In short, before Elivan woke up, the frenzied dark domain was definitely a killing field that no one should enter, and Rodnar finally understood why his ancestors would attach so much importance to this spiritual illusion magic circle with only seven rings, if there was a mage like Elivan with rich imagination and extensive knowledge to preside over this magic circle, even if a heavily armed army was stuffed in, it would not be able to shake even a single point of this magic circle, if the ancestors were a little more shameless, they would put a forbidden sky magic circle around them, and then put some alien beasts in the dark domain, poisonous traps, and pit dozens or even hundreds of professionals of the same level。
And judging from the wreckage and traces left around the Dark Domain, I'm afraid that the great ancestors really did this back then, but these are things that can be left for later, Rodinor looked at the bored wave of his hand to conjure up an ice chair, and Elevan, who was sitting on it very restlessly, rubbed the beard on his chin with one hand, muttered for a moment, and then asked the first question,
"Presumably Blackmane has already told you my rules, I should have beaten you to five times and injured you first, and then cut off one of your legs, to punish you for daring to enter this tower of haters without permission, but you were already dying when you were sent, so let's just talk about this one, so let's just talk about the problems of these companions of yours. ”
A cold light flashed in the old man's smiling eyes, "Not only did they trespass into the Tower of the Hateful, but they also brazenly brought my enemies to seek revenge on me, if it weren't for my superior skills, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me today, let's talk about it, what do you plan to use to redeem their lives?"
"Haha, old man, this choice is not mine, it mainly depends on what you want!"
Elivan did not panic, but took out a small bottle of moon crown wine from the ring in a leisurely manner, and said with a smile while drinking, since Rodnar generously handed over the appearance of several imprisoned people to him, this shows that this old man has no intention of killing them at all, at most it is only used as a weight, this is naturally the situation that Elivan wants to see, he is not sure that he has a few tricks with the dark sect boss in front of him, look at the level of people's decoration, even if it is Eleven's shallow appreciation knowledge, you can see that this big house is basically full of decorations of the Second Age, take one out and hand it over to the Explorers Association, and the identity of an honorary member will never be able to run.
And in the face of Elivan's Reipi's answer, Rodnar was also happy, he pointed at Elivan and laughed,
"Sure enough, you're an interesting guy, you're very good, even in my father's time, you deserve this evaluation!"
These words made Elivan's heart suddenly again, combined with the old man's previous spell casting method that was obviously out of common sense, with almost no magic seals and spell casting syllables, an abrupt conjecture took shape in his heart.
"Are you also the inheritor of an ancient skill, or something else?"
"It's boring, it's boring, it looks like Blackmane hasn't told you these things yet, hey. ”
Rodnall sighed and waved his hand gently, and the shadow that had been hanging over the top of the room was like a docile pet, obediently dispersed under the command of the master, revealing the top of the house full of murals, Eliven looked at the vivid murals, and those characters in the painting who were no different from ordinary people, except for the third eye on their foreheads, and couldn't help but gasp, he asked in a daze,
"This is from the Second Age...?"
"This mural is called "The Fool's Quest", which tells the scene of the greatest astrologer of the Second Age, the Fool Freeman invited to give a lecture in the magical floating city of Valannas, at that time the Fool Freeman was already two thousand four hundred and thirty-seven years old, and his strength had reached the peak of the Second Age, it was said that he was the top powerhouse who could face the true god directly, so before his star staff, the almost powerful and incomparable gods trembled!"
"Who is that long-haired man with a crown, and why does Freeman salute him?"
Elevenn asked curiously, pointing to one of the murals, and Rodnall seemed to be upset that Eleven's interruption of his words, but soon his voice rang out again,
"That is His Royal Highness Conn, the ninth magic emperor of the Second Age, the legitimate and only king of all mages at that time, his strength is said to be even higher than Freeman, even if Freeman is stronger, he is also a mage, so he still needs to salute Conn!"
"The Magic Emperor?"
Eliven heard another word that was not recorded in history at all, and he felt that this word was particularly domineering, and he liked it very much, so he licked his face again and asked Rodnal, who was covered with frost because he had been interrupted for the second time,
"Uncle, what is the Magic Emperor?
"If you dare to interrupt me again, I'll break your neck!
The old man yelled angrily at Elivan, and the elemental wind pressure carried when the momentum surged directly pressed all the air in the room, directly squeezing on Elivan's body, almost scaring him to death, he finally experienced for the first time how great the deterrent power of this kind of top mage is, how terrifying, in order to show his obedience, he sat on the chair cleanly, and the standard of action was like an extremely obedient small basin.
"The so-called magic emperor is just the name of other professionals, in the orthodox mage group, we generally call Conn the "king of mages", which means the most powerful and convincing leader among mages, just like the honorable king in a mortal dynasty, but unlike it, we will not use the so-called bloodline as the criterion for judging, and after each mage king dies in battle, he will choose to select the next mage king. ”
Rodnall said as he pointed to Conn on the mural, " His last Magic Emperor, Lady Jolshina, died in the Second Dynasty against a plane invasion called Zanes Bug Realm, you can't imagine the tragedy of that battle, and the seventy supreme powerhouses who followed Lady Joelsina on the expedition ended up with less than ten, including the ninth and last Magic Emperor, Conn Marphas, who almost single-handedly withstood the desperate charge of hundreds of millions of Bugmen, and Lady Joelshina led the thirteen supreme ones to kill the seventeen low-level gods of the Zanes Bugmen, and finally in the case of running out of ammunition, he was still the main god of the wormsThe final blow of the Magical Empress was extremely powerful, directly destroying the passage connecting the two worlds, and it still hasn't been opened until today, thousands of years later!"
The old man's voice was full of sighs, he sat on the throne, tapped the circle outside the window with his hand, and looked at Elivan, "There, there used to be the outer protective circle of the closed passage, but unfortunately, it has been destroyed. ”
"You have said so much, and let me see the truth that has been completely covered up by history, it really makes me curious, old man, sir, who are you? Also, Blackmane told me never to accept your conditions, but I think it is necessary for me to hear what your conditions are?"
Elivan sat on the ice chair and stretched his waist, he stood up, squinted slightly, looked at the expressionless face of Rodnar on the throne, and made a joke in a low voice,
"You're not going to be the heir from the Second Age, are you?"
"Hmph, hahaha"
Unexpectedly, hearing his joke, Rodnar first snorted coldly, and suddenly laughed loudly, the laughter was crazy, chaotic, and kept burning Eleven's mind, the young man stretched out his left hand, covered his forehead, and just wanted to say something, but Rodnar stopped laughing, propped his head on the edge of the throne with one hand, and asked him in a strange voice,
"Why do you think I can't be a remnant from the ruined Second Age? and I don't think I told you my full name, have I? What a rudeness!"
Speaking of this, the old man stood up suddenly, he looked at Elivan who had just woken up from the burning of his mind with his winged cane, and his outstretched left hand grabbed slightly in the air, and the originally ubiquitous magic elements were immediately squeezed out by the essence magic that gushed out of Rodnar's body, leaving only pure air, and in just a few seconds, Elivan, who relied heavily on magic elements, had already felt pain and extreme discomfort from his bones due to the disappearance of magic elements in an instant, just like the moment when a fish living in seawater was pulled out of the sea, even breathing became difficult。
And at the moment when Rodnal's momentum surged up like a sea tide, he could no longer restrain the fear in his heart, he almost fell to the ground on all fours, cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and the second horizon from the completed world quadrant in the mental space was pitch black, which would make him unable to resist, unable to defend, unable to attack, unable to even think, his brain was completely blank, this was the extreme suppression of the great arcanist for the mages far below his strength, even if he didn't do anything, the mages standing in front of him didn't want to raise their attacking staff at him, and the old man didn't look at him, but closed his eyes, said word by word,
"You'd better remember my name, Rodnar Durende Marfas, the Abyss Astrologer with the blood of the Last Magic Emperor flowing through his body, the Mourner of the Second Age, and the Abominer of the Third Age! Blackmane can refuse my condition because his strength has been approved by me, but you can't, Eliven Mogedin, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me now, so I will give you half a day to think about it, I hope you can make a wise decision!"
After saying that, the old man turned around and was about to leave, but just a moment before he launched the space spell, the sound from Elivan's gritted teeth still made him stop,
"Wait! I... I promised you terms, and you let them go!
"Oh? really?"
Rodnar didn't seem satisfied with the reply, but he glanced at the struggling eyes of Elivan when he looked up, and after thinking for a few minutes, he nodded,
"Okay, get some rest, I'll tell you tomorrow what I need you to do!"
"Wait!"
Elivan, who had already staggered to his feet, called out to Rodnar, who wanted to leave, again, and stretched out his hand to him under the latter's puzzled gaze,
"I urgently need six high-quality magic crystals right now, you must have them!, so why don't you pay me in advance!"
Then he saw the old man glaring at him with the eyes of an idiot, and asked viciously,
"Why? I gave you something in advance, so you can run away, are you teasing me?"
"I can sign a soul pact with you!!"
Sure enough, Elivan's next sentence held the scene, and Rodnar, who was originally snorting, also calmed down instantly, and looked at him with incredible eyes,
"Are you crazy? Soul Contract? Besides the ghosts of the lower realms, there are still people who can cast this contract? You are really crazy!"
"I have my own way, you just say yes or no!"
It's no wonder that Rodnal's attitude is not good, this old man is also a character who has seen the world, and naturally knows the meaning of the soul contract, the soul contract refers to the Styx oath under ordinary circumstances, that is, to make an oath to the ubiquitous, it is said to flow through countless worlds Styx, the result of this contract violation is often very serious, because in the infinite universe, only the Styx lasts forever, and only the Styx cannot be desecrated, once you make an act of violating the Styx oath (soul contract), you will be punished by the Styx, this punishment even the real gods and demons dare not despise, so the soul contract is also regarded as the highest contract in the infinite universe。
It is worth mentioning that the master-servant contract signed by the Roman guy and the demons he summoned belongs to a type of soul contract, the Styx Oath.
The archmages of the Second Age are often very proficient in soul research, and for the best of them, it is not a problem to preside over the soul contract, but the juniors of the Third Age are too far behind, they are also focused on the tricks and continuous expansion of various systems of magic, but due to the existence of the gods, any study of the soul is regarded as the most serious blasphemy, because the gods and demons descended oracles at the beginning of the Third Age, the soul, is the forbidden place of the gods, and only the supreme them are qualified to receive the souls of mortals, to be precise, the belief of the soul, and the demons are even more explicit, it is said that in the lower realm, the most perfect currency is the mortal soul.
Under this premise, it is even more difficult to find a mage who can and dare to cast soul magic than looking for a needle in a haystack, which is the basis for Rodnal to scold Eleven, but what Elevenn said has his own way, and it is naturally worth it that Roman may be about to arrive in Bay City now, this guy is likely to be the only demon warlock on the El continent, due to the particularity of the profession, he can basically do what the demons can do, so presiding over a soul contract is drizzling for this guy who has already embarked on the Elevan thief ship!
What's more, since it was his brother who presided over the soul contract, wouldn't it be a gesture to play some tricks in it?After all, Elivan had never thought of seriously fulfilling Rodnal's requests, because Blackmane had already told him that those demands were extremely difficult and torturous.
