21. Another deal

"Da, da, da"

Dressed in a black robe, Elivan walked out of the small cell slowly, but before he could go far, a tall figure stopped in front of him, and then a whistling wind came to his face,

"Smack!"

Rattle's angry slap was not at all something that Elivan could take now, the boy didn't even have a chance to resist under the huge force, his whole body spun and fell into the corner, his left side of his face was high and swollen, bright red and shiny, even the sight of his left eye swayed, he didn't get up, but coughed hard and leaned his back against the wall, opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, and then wiped it with his sleeve, and then raised his head to look at Rattle, who was angry like a bull being provoked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This bald mage has long lost the pretentious elegance just now, like an angry barbarian, there is still a little temperament there, but in fact, this analogy is correct, the demon hand Rattle himself has half of the barbarian blood, but what he has awakened is not the barbarian proud of the war skills, but the extremely rare northland rune wizard bloodline.

"Who do you think you are? Look what you've done! You want to see him, okay! Lao Tzu gave you a chance to meet him! Damn! You killed him, damn it!"

Rattle bent down, his iron pincer-like hand choked Elivan's neck, and actually lifted him up directly, what was even more terrifying was that with the fierce light in Rattle's eyes becoming more and more intense, the air behind him faintly showed the image of a fierce war bear with a roar in the sky, and his whole body was covered with blue runes, the fierce giant bear stared at Eliven with the eyes of a predator, just like its villain master, and then the big guy roared, Ellevin suddenly felt a gust of wind full of power coming from in front of him, it was definitely not an illusion, because when the wind was approaching, Rattle suddenly threw Eliven back, and the boy flew out againWhen he landed, he felt the earth shake at that moment, and where he had been, a huge depression had appeared in the hard obsidian wall, as if an invisible giant had punched that place with all his might.

Seeing this scene, Elivan immediately understood what the phantom of the giant bear just now was!

"Rune War Bear, the twenty-seventh place of the beast astrological phenomenon, fierce and bloodthirsty, its host is mostly barbarian or semi-barbarian, very good at physical attacks, has a strong talent for spell attacks, extremely high magic resistance, and extremely high danger---- "Astrological Explanation"

Lying on the ground, Eliven lowered his head and struggled to get up from the ground again, his right arm hanging down in a strange posture, obviously broken, and the blow that Rattle had just saved him also made his internal organs shake for the second time, fainting, and nausea soon appeared in his perception, but the boy still bit his tongue hard, using the sharp pain and blood to keep himself awake, otherwise, he was not sure if he would be beaten to death by the demon hand in front of him who was about to lose his mind.

"Stop!"

Just as Rattle's fist struck for the third time, Elevenn shouted, causing Rattle's fist aimed at his abdomen to deflect to the right, piercing the barrel beside him with brilliant might, spilling the water contained in it everywhere, spilling Eleven's body, making him even more embarrassed.

"Deal!"

"What did you say?"

"I'm going to make a deal! Didn't you say equal exchange, didn't you?"

Rattle withdrew his left hand disdainfully, and looked at him condescendingly with his wrist, and only after a long time did he squeeze a sentence out of his teeth,

"Your previous life money has shrunk, boy, you better pray that you can come up with enough things, or you will turn you into 10524 and die in this black prison for him. ”

After saying that, the vicious guy bared his teeth at Elivan,

"You know, it's not that difficult for a Magus to change a person's appearance and memories. ”

"It's not hard for me to satisfy your appetite. ”

Eliven coldly shook off his words, turned his head and walked in the direction of Rattle's office, this attitude made Rattle himself stunned, but he quickly smiled gloomily, tidied up his somewhat scattered collar, and Shi Shiran followed.

A few minutes later, Elevan and Rattle, who were completely let go, sat on the sofa on both sides, and the boy took out a handmade version of the "Golden Years" from his arms, pulled out two of them, one in his own mouth, and the other one was thrown to Rattle, who couldn't see the face, the latter smiled and lit the fire, and then took a deep breath comfortably, and it looked like an old smoking gun.

Rattle's way of igniting the fire is very special, he stretched out his left hand and squeezed it gently, a twisted green flame appeared in the palm of his hand, how to say, the green flame gave Elivan's first feeling was very weird, not that kind of mildness or bursting, but an indescribable coldness, and Rattle exhaled a breath of smoke, and with a flick of his left hand, the green flame left his palm not only did not disappear, but swelled a little, and slowly floated in front of Elevenn under the control of Rattle, at this moment, the boy felt the kind of cold that was not inferior to the kind of cold that was frozen in the ancient water elemental god illusion。

But he didn't want to show a trace of timidity, but smiled and stretched the cigarette butt towards the green fire, but Elivan also did a flower job, the moment the cigarette butt and the green flame came into contact, the elements scattered throughout the body instantly flamed, his whole person and the cigarette turned into a burning flame, orange and blue flames reflected on Elivan's body, decorating his whole person as fierce as the fire demon descending, but Elivan wanted to thaw Pars at the beginning, and deliberately controlled the temperature of the flame at about twenty degrees, so he did not burn his clothes, and did not even leave a trace on the luxurious sofa。

"Ugh!"

The green flame that was cold on the surface but was actually still burning ignited the cigarette, but its own existence was also expelled by the flamed element, so the green flame became smaller and smaller in the air, and finally turned into a black dot, completely dissipated in the air, and the "flowing" flame on Elivan's body also quickly returned at this time, and in a few seconds it flowed to the cigarette butt that was still burning between his fingers, so I saw that the ash of the cigarette butt lit up, and Eliven returned to human form again.

This is the mystery of elemental magic, the degree of awakening of the elements is completely in the hands of the user, plus with the assistance of the second-order arcane burning soul, as long as Elivan is willing, he can even make a 0 degree flame, without giving face to physics at all, but that kind of flame is estimated to have lost the most basic form of flame due to the fact that the energy provided to the spell model is too small.

"Bang Bang!"

Seeing Elivan's impromptu performance, Rattle's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but applaud, he didn't expect that the son of the old man in front of him would bring such a big shock to himself five years later, Elivan's artistic manipulation of the elements opened his eyes, and there was nothing more than these to make the senior mages happy.

In the Faeron variant magic system he practiced, elemental magic is also called plastic magic, which is only one of several major magic factions, known for its great power, but because compared with the Titan system's in-depth study of the essence of the elements, the Feren system only uses elements as the most common one among the countless spell casting materials, so most of the Feren mages can't grasp the essence of elementalization at all, in other words, the fireball spells they use, the fire burst fireball, fire snake and other fire spells they use are just in vain in Elevin's opinion, and they can't have three flavors at all, which is why they were in Bordeaux City at the beginning, The reason why the fireball technique shot by Mage Fils and Elivan's fireball technique collided head-on but were directly annihilated, the energy level contained in the two was not at the same level at all.

Rattle himself is also a master of the plastic energy department, and his understanding of the elements is not much weaker than Eleven, who has just embarked on the road of magic, but after all, the focus is different, Rattle focuses on quantity and power, and pursues more powerful power, while the latter values quality and understanding, in order to control the elements for their own use, the two people are not in the same direction from the beginning, therefore, Eleven's future path, Rattle also can't understand.

But even so, Rattle didn't forget to get down to business, he flicked the ash in his hand, made a gesture, and the next moment, a wave of magic bloomed from Rattle's fingertips, eventually forming a barrier that could block out sound and prevent others from prying eyes.

"Take it out and take a look!"

Elevenn shrugged his shoulders and tossed out a scroll that looked like it had been written, and Rattle took it and immediately laughed, anger and disdain.

"You are a mere intermediate mage, you dare to let me a mage sign an equal contract with you, you are also a superb!"

"Why not?"

Elivan pulled the ring off his neck, and then shook it back and forth on his fingertips, his tone floating, like a legendary demon that seduced mortals,

"As long as you have enough benefits, even the gods can possess you to do things, don't you? Hehe, do you know what this thing is? Do you know what this thing represents? Oh, by the way, after all, you're not the tower master, so let me ask in another way. ”

Looking at Rattle's increasingly gloomy face, Elivan smiled and asked a sentence that shocked him,

"Do you know what the original tower master occupied the Gray Plains and later destroyed my Mogedin family for?"

Eliven took off the hood from his head, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and when he looked at Rattle's look of wanting to cover up, Elevenn couldn't help grinning,

"Ha, it seems that you know! So do you sign it or not?"

As he spoke, he threw the ring on the table, and the jingle sound shook Rattle's body and mind, and he stretched out his hand almost uncontrollably, but then he took it back, he looked at Eleven's calm face suspiciously, and his sharp gaze almost saw through his soul,

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you and take it away?"

Elivan spread out his hands,

"Why am I afraid? Are you so naïve as to think you can find the secret behind it with the ring? The Mogedin family has studied the secrets of two generations if it were so simple, would they still need the Demon Hunter Tower and the Shadow Tower to work together?"

As he spoke, he held out a finger and tapped his head,

"It's all here! And I can guarantee that if I didn't give it to you of my own volition, even if you kill me, you won't want to get any secrets about it! I know you're a magister, and you must have mastered secret techniques like soul reeling, but you can take a gamble and see if you can extract my memories completely?"

Rattle withdrew his hand, he didn't speak, just silently pinched the ordinary ring with two fingers, put it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully, and Eleven began to tell what he knew about the ring that he had carried for five years,

"With a ring forged from an unknown metal, in the name of Mogedine, I can guarantee that this material cannot be found in this world at all, not afraid of fire, not afraid of ice, even if it is soaked in magma for a day, when it is taken out, it is cold without a trace of temperature, perfect magic nature, the consumption of energy through it is almost less than one percent, and the mythril known as the metal of the gods is compared to it, it is simply mortal iron. ”

"Look, as long as you hand this thing over to the scumbags of the Nine Towers, oh, I'm sorry, forget that you're one of them, but I mean, as long as you hand it over, let alone the death of a prisoner, I'm afraid it's a big basket, and those tower owners will help you settle it, of course, you can also keep it for yourself, and then go find the secret behind the ring yourself, isn't it? ”

Elevenn frowned at the unclear face Rattle, but the latter thought for a moment and sneered, he put the ring back on the table, and then leaned back on the couch in a comfortable position,

"Tut-tut, what a trick, it's right to give me something, but as long as you release the news that the ring is in my hand, even if it's just a rumor, I guess I won't be able to live, right? ”

Rattle stretched out his finger and shook it, first at Eleven, then at himself,

"Why should I accept the fate of the death of your Mogedin family? ”

"Hahaha"

Hearing Rattle's rebuttal, Elevenn directly covered his stomach and laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, but looking at Rattle's darkening face, Elevenn still stopped laughing, he took a red fruit from the fruit bowl on the table, threw it into his mouth, clicked the juice and splashed everywhere, and then said vaguely,

"Do you really think you'll be fine if you don't take this ring? It's naïve you, dear Lord Demon Hand, believe it or not, as long as one person in this city recognizes me, in a few days, you will have to face the wrath of the nine tower masters in person, and it seems to me that this tragic ending cannot be changed, because more than twenty mages who are on the same road with me know that a mysterious black-robed man has walked into the mage inquisition, unless you can kill everyone who has seen me before they find those corpses, but you can't do it, can you?"

Rattle paused visibly, and he asked,

"Corpses?

Eleven picked up the papers on the table, dusted them off the table, and said in a leisurely tone,

"In order to get this, I had to slaughter the two promising mages in the data room, and if you count the time, those corpses should be found soon. ”

"What did you say!"

Rattle stood up angrily, although he has half of the barbarian blood, but this does not mean that he is a fool, Elivan killed people in order to get the documents, and ran all the way to himself without disposing of the corpse afterwards, and he didn't know how to greet others along the way, and if he wanted to say that he was innocent afterwards, no one would believe it at all, let alone involve the ring that the Nine Towers had been trying their best to find! If that time really comes, let alone a little mage, even if it is a high-level great mage, those ruthless tower masters will be killed if they say they will die.

Do you really want to be in the same boat with this little mess in front of you?

Rattle looked at the ring on the table with some embarrassment, it was not impossible to betray the Nine Towers, not to mention that he had been preparing for the back road a long time ago, but acting by himself and being forced to act are definitely two different things, not to mention that the timing of the appearance of this deadly ring in front of him was too sudden, and he suddenly felt that everything was under control one second before Rattle, and the next second he found that he was stunned and seemed to have no way out.

No! No, there is still a way to go!

Rattle's eyes narrowed behind the fog, as long as he grabbed the little thing in front of him, and then handed the ring to the tower owners intact, no, no, he couldn't let this kid live, in case he said something he shouldn't say... Kill him, as long as the ring is there!

Thinking of this, a wisp of killing intent in Rattle's heart filled his mind, and the fingers behind his back began to pinch the magic seal of the five-ring spell-Flame Veil, and his heart also began to silently recite the spell-casting syllables of the Flame Veil, the kid in front of him was an intermediate mage at best, with Rattle's cultivation, a five-ring spell was enough to solve all the problems, but just when the seventh syllable of this spell was just completed, Elivan suddenly raised his head, and the smile in the corner of his eye made the corner of Rattle's eyes jump twice, and then the next sentence made the heart of Lord Demon Hand sink to the bottom。

"Oh, it's a good idea to kill me, there's no proof of death, as long as you can hand over the ring, all mistakes can be used as an excuse to foreshadow, but the question is, do you really think those dead old men will let anyone who has contact with the ring go unpunished, even if it's a, well, a venerable magister?"

Looking at the silent Rattle, feeling the violently fluctuating elements in the air calm down, Eleven's back was already covered with cold sweat, when the inspiration for this extremely risky transaction had just germinated, he considered whether Rattle would directly kill the killer, although the final conclusion was that this sanctimonious and thoughtful hypocrite would not give up this big secret, but when Rattle silently recited the spell-casting syllable, Eleven's heart was still involuntarily raised, who knows if he will suddenly go crazy? This is definitely the thirteenth year of his life, the closest to death, the killing intent of a demon master whose body is less than two meters away almost broke his tense nerves, but just after Rattle took the initiative to disperse the killing intent, Elivan smiled sincerely, he knew that this time, he won the bet.

Rattle wouldn't know that he had actually left three magic crystal bombs in the data room that were enough to destroy all evidence, nor would he know that he hadn't attracted the attention of other mages along the way, let alone be sure that the tower master would kill him directly because he knew the secret of the ring, but he didn't dare to bet, this was human nature, whether it was an ignorant civilian or a noble mage, he couldn't escape the shackles of this thinking, not to mention that in his first transaction with Rattle, Elivan felt this guy's attitude towards the Nine Towers Council, under the complementarity of all thisIn the end, Rattle chose the path that Elivan had arranged for him.

"Humph!"

Master Demon Hand figured everything out, so he gave up the boring confrontation, he sat back on the sofa, and even more simply dispersed the fog that had been covering his face, revealing that square, ordinary face, big eyes and high nose bridge, thin cheeks, thick eyebrows, a typical barbarian style face, Rattel, who had figured out all the joints, seemed to no longer want to have anything to do with Elivan, and the clean command magic hand picked up the contract that he threw on the ground, unfolded it, glanced at Elivan who was looking at him innocently, gritted his teeth, and wrote his name in the blank space。

At the moment when Rattle's name was completed, a slightly heavy aura was abruptly connected between the two, Elivan was fine, but he suddenly felt a little out of breath, and Rattle, who was much stronger than him, was much more miserable, a muffled snort sounded, and a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of Rattle's mouth, which is why high-level professionals are not very willing to accept this kind of equal contract with their subordinates, and the difference in strength is too great and forcing the contract will need to bear several times the mental damage of the inferior.

"Then listen up, Lord Demon Hand, I'll just say it once!"

Elivan's eyebrows shrugged, and then he told Rattle Rattel's last dream-like riddle with a serious face, originally thinking that the latter would be furious when he heard this riddle like a crazy word, but he didn't expect Rattle to just carefully write that passage in the magic book hanging on his waist, and then he frowned and began to think.

"You understand that? I thought it was just a crazy story. ”

Elivan asked curiously, in his opinion, these god's words had no value at all, but Rattle thought about it and explained to him,

It does sound like a madman's dream, but if the ring is indeed from the Second Age or even earlier, then these are not as simple as crazy words, in real history, the First Age lasted for a full 30,000 years, and the world was dominated by the powerful empire created by the Kirundel people known as the "Divine Warriors", and the Second Age based on the First Age was founded by the "Golden People" Elendas and the "Silver People" The era of chaos and warfare between the Umans and the elves is also 50,000 years old, and as far as I know, the Kirundel and Uman have a tradition of keeping records in a form similar to prophecy, and the ones you just talked about are very similar to the style of these records. ”

After a pause, Rattle continued to explain,

In this strange record, each word has a specific meaning, like this phrase "Nether demons and beings of the upper realm" , This is not just about the Divine Realm or the Endless Abyss, its true meaning should refer to all the creatures beyond the plane of reality, the Heavenly Mountain, the Asaph Divine Domain and the Fantasy Country, as well as the Nine Layers of Hell, the Nightmare Land of the Ancient Gods and the Void Relic, and even all creatures including the Astral Boundary, in short, in the face of this paradoxical puzzle, you must think of all the possibilities, otherwise it is very likely to mislead yourself to death. ”

Ellivan nodded as if he didn't understand, but then he added,

"By the way, there's another place, the ruins of Pakan, I don't know what it is, but I know where everything about the ring began!"

"Pakan?"

Rattle's brow furrowed tightly, and after a few minutes, he stood up with a sigh of relief, carefully put the ring into his storage bracelet, and said as he walked out,

"Pakan on the side of the Barren Rock Plateau in the Dragon Canyon is not a good place, that ghost place was a battlefield meat grinder where the orc coalition fought to the death at the end of the battle, it is said that more than 100,000 living beings have died there, and until now it is still entrenched by a group of unnecromantic creatures that are not easy to mess with, but it is a complete death Jedi, but if the ring really originated there..."

Rattle's footsteps stopped, his expression was strange, as if he had eaten several flies, he turned his head stiffly, looked at Elivan who was curiously following him, and then said a strange sentence in a trembling voice,

"What if... Really originated from there words... Then we are likely... I've been living in a scam!"

"Scam? What scam?"

"Northern Campaign!" If my guess is true, it's the biggest hoax of all!"
