Nicole kicked Rachel like crazy for several minutes before suddenly stopping and standing still. Rachel, whose face was bruised and swollen, struggled to get up from the ground, and found that Nicole was already full of tears, and suddenly hugged her and cried. Rachel was at a loss, biting his lip and not knowing how to react, but finally hugged Nicole, tears streaming down silently.

Lina, who had been watching with great interest, gave Catherine a thumbs up and winked, slowly walked over and patted the shoulders of the two gently, took out a handkerchief and handed it over: "Okay, wipe your tears, anyway, now you are safe." ”

Nicole took it, wiped her tears, tidied up her clothes a little, and said with a forced smile, "Thank you." ”

"Rachel, give you some treatment. Lina said, looking at the bruises on Rachel's body.

"No, thank you. Rachel shook his head, "I'm going to remember this lesson." ”

"Well, your choice. Catherine also came over and said, "Your name is Nicole, aren't you, Lina, help her dispel the curse." ”

"The magic is running out of power. Lina spread her hands: "It's a bit of a waste to replenish the potion now, wait a few hours for the magic to recover." ”

"It doesn't matter. Nicole refused, "It's too late for me to go to the temple to disperse when I get out." ”

"It's fine. Catherine nodded: "But speaking of which, this person didn't actually kill you, do you know why?"

"He needs a mage. Nicole sighed deeply, "He needed a mage to open a door for him, so he didn't kill me and brought me back." I know you must have a lot of questions, and I'll tell you all that I know. ”

"Then let's start from the beginning, it's just the right time for everyone to take a break. Catherine thought for a moment and said, "Wait, let's find a warmer place first, the temperature in this room is too low, let's go, go next door." Vivien, what are you looking for?"

"Teleportation Circle. Vivien searched around in the cold room, "Remember when that guy said he usually teleports in and out of the circle?" he said that the circle was right behind him, and if he found it, he wouldn't have to swim when we left." ”

"When you say teleportation array, I guess that thing. Pannis pointed to the location of Farkas at the time of his death: "The one he was stepping on." ”

"What?" Vivien was shocked, and didn't care about the dirty, ran to the place where Farkas's corpse exploded, kicked away the corpse fragments on the ground very fiercely, roughly checked the magic circle, and said hatefully: "Damn, it was really damaged by the last explosion, he really died in the wrong place." ”

"Can't you fix it?" Lina leaned over and looked at it with some curiosity and asked, "I think there are only a few lines that have been twisted, and they can be repaired." ”

"It didn't work. Vivien shook her head indignantly, "The teleportation circle is the only circle that can't be repaired. This kind of magic circle,The template at both ends must be the mage's use of mirror shadowing,Uh,It's a kind of spell that you can get another add-on that is completely opposite to the shape of the thing you write and painted,Well,The mage uses the mirror and shadow technique to depict two completely opposite magic circle templates like the inside and outside of the mirror at the same time.,And then use the secret technique to print this template directly on the target location.,So that you can get two identical templates.,And then strictly according to the template and condense the magic into silk threads to outline the lines of the magic circle.,So that the two magic circles can be connected. 。 As now, there are a few lines that have been distorted, and even if they are repaired or redrawn as they are, they will not be exactly the same as the original, and there will be no way to connect to another circle on the other side. Alas, it's a pity, I thought I could save some trouble, forget it, let's go, go next door. ”

After closing the door of the freezer, the six of them walked directly to the next door, Catherine reached out and pushed the door open, glanced inside, and immediately closed the door with the corners of her mouth twitching, so fast that she almost hit her nose.

"Change the room. Catherine waved her hand: "This is not a good place to rest." ”

"What's wrong?" Lina, who was the most curious, couldn't help it, and wanted to open the door to see the situation, but Pannis turned around and blocked the door, looked at Lina with a smile and said, "I don't think you want to see the situation inside." ”

"What the hell is it? The more she was stopped, the more curious Lina became, and she said to Pannis, "Didn't you see it either?" ”

Pannis mysteriously lowered his voice and said, "Remember what I said to Farkas at the time? Guess what he ate when he woke up for a few days every twenty years, and where did he eat?

Lina swallowed hard, glanced at the door in disgust, and said with a stern face: "The eldest sister is right, this room is not suitable for rest, let's change it." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, come here. Catherine had already opened the other door and was glaring at her angrily: "Hurry up and rest, and then rush to the core area." Suzanne's diary says that things are kept in the freezer in the core, and by the way, Pannis, you've been to the core, have you seen that?"

Pannis shrugged: "I don't have time to look. ”

Entering the warm room, Vivian jumped directly onto an empty desk, and lay down comfortably with a large backpack: "Okay, put on a good posture, the sequelae are coming, you continue to talk, don't worry about me, I'll listen." ”

Catherine frowned, remembering the previous battle in the River of Flames, Vivien's condition of absorbing the crystal energy and leading the magic channel to be disordered and unable to cast spells, she couldn't help but sigh and asked Nicole, "Let's start from the beginning, what is the situation?"

"It's actually quite simple. Nicole reminisced for a moment and said, "When I ...... Well, after that, I was quickly caught up by Farkas, and he attacked me, and I was just trying to run as fast as I could, and I didn't resist at all, and I was knocked unconscious by him. When I woke up, I found that he had cast the Rotten Curse, which he could activate at any moment. He told me that he could let me go without killing me, but that he wanted me to open a door for him, which only a mage could open, and that if I didn't agree or couldn't open it, he would kill me. I had no choice but to agree. Then I followed him all the way, and watched him catch up with Gasteen on a detour, and put a curse on him, and watched him in a passage that he didn't know who he had attacked, but it should have been unsuccessful, and ran back angrily and led us to the depths of the cave. As a result, he overheard you talking to a man and said that he wanted to find this institute, so he decided to lure you here and kill you with his strongest gesture. After that, he gave Justin a portable teleportation array, asked him to delay your entry, and by the way, find an opportunity to teleport someone over to consume your strength, and then took me into a place from the outside and directly into the freezer. When I came in, he took me straight to a door and told me to unlock it. I didn't know that the magic lock couldn't be unlocked, but I was afraid of death, so I lied to him that the lock was very troublesome to open and would take days. He believed it and took me to a room in the living quarters and installed a trap. I'm worried about Rachel her...... , while he was not paying attention, secretly wrote the word danger on the wall at the door, and finally he was brought here, he originally wanted to make some arrangements here, but you came too fast, he really didn't have time. That's all for it, just ask any questions you have. ”

"It turns out that you wrote those two words. Catherine slapped her forehead with a smile: "Really...... Interesting. ”

"Let's start at the beginning. Pannis gathered his thoughts and asked, "Do you know why he is attacking you? ”

Nicole smiled bitterly and sighed: "Before, when everyone was resting, they chatted about demonic energy, and finally when it came to some cases of human demonization in the past, the head of the regiment said some ugly things, but he secretly heard it, and he held a grudge against the regiment commander for this, and followed us all the way, looking for an opportunity to kill us all, and he didn't let any of us go." ”

"Whew, it's for such a simple reason. Catherine sighed helplessly and said, "You just said that he overheard our conversation with another person, it should be a woman, right?"

"I don't know. Nicole shook her head and said, "He often leaves the two of us in the dark and leaves by ourselves, and because we are cursed, we don't dare to run away, so we can only wait where we are." It was he who had overheard it. ”

"I see. Pannis suddenly realized: "Because he is basically a monster, the breath on his body is exactly the same as that of the monster, I guess I and Indulgence thought it was just the breath of a monster passing nearby, and there was no intention of attacking us, so we ignored it." It's careless. ”

"And then, that trap in the settlement. Catherine was haunted by the trap and couldn't help asking, "It doesn't make sense at all, why did he set that trap?"

"He wants to delay your time. Nicole said: "He showed off to me, saying how clever he is, setting that trap, if it is best to reduce your troops, even if it can't cause attrition, you can also make the next journey be cautious, so that it will be much slower, and he can calmly arrange it in the battlefield he has chosen." But it didn't work at all, you didn't seem to be moving forward cautiously at all, and you came much faster than he thought. ”

Catherine smiled slightly: "It's not that we are not careful, but we have professionals, and we can know if there are any traps at a glance, and there is no need to slow down at all." ”

"The door he took you to crack should be the one that leads to the middle of the living area to the R&D area. Pannis ignored Catherine's round-the-turn compliments and asked, "Is there any reason why he is so desperate to get in?"

"It's said to be looking for something. Nike recalled for a while, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be looking for a key." ”

"Sure enough. Pannis clapped his hands heavily: "He really wants to find this, it seems that he hasn't entered the core area for hundreds of years, and things should still be in it." ”

Catherine also nodded with a happy face and said, "Thank you, Nicole, I don't have any problems, Lina, Lina, don't look at it, do you have any questions?"

Lina didn't raise her head, but raised her eyelids from the book and swept Nicole with her afterglow: "I only have one question, why forgive Rachel?"

"I didn't forgive her. Nicole explained aloud excitedly, glared at Rachel, who was fidgeting, and suddenly said in a small voice, "Because after I woke up, I thought about it carefully, if it was me, maybe I would do the same thing at that time, and I really have no position to hold a grudge against her." ”

"Good, I like the answer. With a hint of a smile on her lips, Lina turned her gaze back to the book: "I'm fine." ”
