Chapter 2: Prelude to Chaos VII

The colorful brilliance of the phase ions left a long rainbow in the air. Accompanied by shouts and hearty laughter, several air-float motorcycles cut through the green fields, leaving a series of ripples on the calm surface of the lake.

Looking up at the tall castle, Angelus couldn't help but let out a heartfelt admiration.

"What a big ......"

Although I don't know where the "madmen" of the Srodvan Magic Workshop got the inspiration to build the Magic Workshop into such a beautiful paradise. But just from the artificial lake around the castle and the green fields, there are so many technical challenges to solve in order to complete the idea.

"Haha! Of course! Daddy Farrell puffed up his belly proudly, "I want to ...... that one back then."

"Don't look through the old calendar, Daddy."

The memories of the past were interrupted before they could even begin. But Daddy Farrell wasn't angry, he scratched his head with a "hehe" smile.

As he spoke, the gates of the castle slipped silently to the sides.

"Your welcome is coming. His Highness Safir Angrus. ”

A large red carpet runs from the castle gate to the central nave, and on either side of the carpet stand two groups of long-haired blue maids. When they bowed together, everyone present had the illusion of being in an ancient harem. What is strange is that the maids have almost identical appearances, both in stature and temperament, like multiple births born to the same mother. There was a deep curiosity in the pure and unadulterated eyes, but the long blue hair flowing in the wind seemed to silently hint at the difference in their identities.

The scene inside the gate made Angelus involuntarily hold his breath.

At the end of the red carpet stood a young girl who looked quite similar to Curlan. However, compared to Kuran's gentle and steady, the girl is much more lively, and there is always a slightly playful smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Finally willing to go home, little villain......"

The girl took two steps forward as if to greet Angelus, and held out her hands enthusiastically. But for some reason, the smile in her eyes was even stronger.

In the face of her enthusiasm, Angelus seemed to show a hint of fear, and instead took a few steps back.

"Let me see, let me see......" The girl obviously misunderstood Angelus's reaction: "Hey, I'm still shy." It's so cute!! Reluctantly, she took a few more steps, reaching out to touch Angelus' cheek. However, there seemed to be something hidden in her white and tender little hands, and the reflection of the metal flashed.

As if sensing some kind of threat, Angelus suddenly turned sideways, avoiding the girl's touch in an instant.

"Huh...... Ahh

The girl obviously didn't expect Angelus to avoid it at close range, and she lost her center of gravity by surprise and fell on the red carpet with a "bump". The big bright eyes blinked, and then a layer of mist followed.

"Woo, woo...... It hurts! The girl slowly got up and knelt on the carpet. Whining...... Xiao Feifei is a bad guy and will bully others. Woo, woo...... Wow, wow, wow......" As if she had been greatly wronged, the girl hid her face and began to cry.

The long-haired maids around were obviously very surprised by the scene in front of them. But none of them stepped forward to comfort the girl, and after a brief moment of surprise, a deep smile appeared in their eyes.

"Sister Kason, don't pretend to be pitiful. If others don't know, I won't know...... What is it...... Shock Ring? Hmmm......" Angelus grabbed the girl's right hand and revealed the "murder weapon" hidden in her hand. But I don't know if I don't see it, and after watching it, Angloston sweated like rain, "And it's, it's still 100,000 volts!" You want to commit murder! ”

The girl's crying came to an abrupt end. I saw her raise her head and stick out her tongue embarrassedly, revealing a smile that was even brighter than just now: "Ah...... was discovered...... "The sound of her crying just now was indeed not small, but it was obviously thunder and rain...... No, not even a splash fell.

Kathon's bright smile made Angelus quite speechless: "Do you know what happens if you are really electrocuted......

"Of course!" She raised her head haughtily and loudly announced, "I don't know!" ”

"You guy with zero common sense, you are embarrassed to say it! Also, who wants to 'kill for money', 'kill people with a knife', and have no sense of responsibility to give you such dangerous goods? ”

At this time, the sound of Fang Qiuling and Rosaria biting their ears happened to come from behind them.

“…… Didn't you say you lost that ring? ”

"Yes. It's really lost. ...... in the garden two days ago"

"So what's going on now...... Alas, you really are, you don't say anything about this dangerous item if it is taken by some strange person......"

"How can there be so many whatevers, less alarmist here."

Angrus suddenly noticed that the outside of the ring was engraved with a series of letters in the elven language: Glory belongs to Rosalia.

"You two!"

Fang Qiuling and Rosaria were startled, and both pairs of eyes turned to Angelus at the same time. In front of them, Angelus seemed to be different from before, and a strange aura loomed behind him. The two exchanged a glance with each other, then jumped up at the same time and began to accuse each other.

"It's all your fault, it's too loud!"

"It's obviously your fault for throwing such a dangerous thing everywhere......"

They looked at each other again, as if realizing at the same time that such bickering was not helping the matter itself. And in the next moment, the silent tacit understanding was reached in an instant.

"Run~~~"

"Stop! See how I clean you up! ”

--------------------------------------------------

drove away the mischievous Kasson and Fang Qiuling, and the welcome ceremony ended hastily. Annie Lou and Monica dragged the vehicle that had placed the rampaging fairy girl to the Special Research Room, while the other little girls dispersed in twos and threes. The remaining three of Angrus, Curran, and Daddy Farrell changed into white research robes and headed to the core area of the Srodvan Magic Workshop, the Wizard Workshop.

After passing through three corridors in succession, and then taking a small elevator to descend more than thirty meters, the magic workshop arrived.

"It's time to arrive. Sa, I haven't been here yet! Hehe, this time the 'Harmony Array' was designed with the 'Listener' in mind! There's a special place for you. Standing in front of the metal gate more than four meters high, Father Farrell showed a proud face, "I finally have a chance to try it today." Definitely will surprise you! ”

"yes, we'll see."

With a gentle push, the one-meter-thick gate opened silently. As the door opened, Angelus sensed a slight magical oscillation in the air.

The space behind the goal is no less than a standard football field. In terms of floor space, it seems to be no less than the entire castle area.

"Subspace folding technology?"

"Hey, that's good! And it's the latest 'half-plane' space technology! The space formed by the 'half-plane' is much larger than that of ordinary subspace folding technology, and most importantly, it has incomparable advantages in terms of stability and security! What's more...... Yes! Don't be in a hurry. Eh, eh! Don't go so fast, wait for me! ”

Daddy Farrell had to put an end to his nagging and hurriedly trotted after him.

If you look at the entire space from above, you can see that the internal layout of the space is built according to a huge six-pointed star circle. The silver-white metal wall forms the outline of the entire magic array, and the fountains, rockeries, flowers and trees dotted in it constitute the spiritual inscriptions in the magic array.

As Daddy Farrell walked, he didn't forget to continue the introduction: "...... Half-dimensional space technology is a 'black technology' excavated from the Teranda Institute. With the current level of science and technology, it can only be simply imitated and used in a rudimentary way. Further research is difficult. ”

Kuran on the side also took over his father's topic: "In ancient arcane arts, there were records of spells such as 'space anchor' and 'space lock'. From today's perspective, this type of spell can be counted as a form of space blockade. However, if the effects of this type of arcane are magnified several times, it is theoretically possible to completely enclose a certain range of space, leaving it out of the usual space and forming a half-plane. In the event of an invasion by a foreign enemy, they will find that they will find nothing. ”

"But......" Daddy showed a little helplessness, "Although spells such as 'Space Anchor' and 'Space Lock' have been recorded, the specific spell structure, spell casting materials, and so on are all blank. Alas......"

As he spoke, Curran and Daddy Farrell focused their eyes on Angelus's face.

"Uh...... Don't look at me like that. What do you think a 'listener' is? Even this kind of lost arcane is ......," Angelus rolled his eyes helplessly, "and I'm a complete layman when it comes to space technology, so don't count on me." ”

"Hey...... I'm counting on you to contribute something......"

"I'm not Asternius (note 1), I know everything...... Why don't you send a few more archaeological teams to Lake Clammonton to find the city of Paranzas. As long as you dig out the Great Library of Parand, you can find even the high-level magic recorded in mythology......"

As soon as Angelus's words fell, a high-pitched shout came from nowhere: "Found it!" ”

Then I only heard a red light flash in a hidden door not far ahead, and there was a loud "boom" - an explosion.

Billowing smoke poured out of the room. Then a pitch-black humanoid creature burst out of the smoke. I saw the humanoid creature coughing desperately, and dancing and slapping the flames on his clothes.

Father Farrell was slightly stunned, and then shouted at the man, "Taraki, you guy! Blew up something again!? ”

“…… Cough...... Ahem...... No, it's okay, it's a minor accident...... Ahem...... Ahem...... It's okay, it's okay......"

"Minor accidents? Is the lab about to be blown up by you or is it a small accident? Daddy Farrell shouted unrelentingly, "You're going to give me a little peace later!" In case it interferes with the covenant ceremony, I will skin you to make a jacket! ”

"Dad, don't be so nervous. My trait Arsaku Laser Photon Bomb is very ...... Yes! Not good! Hurry, run! ”

In fact, there is no need to remind Taraki of the black charcoal, and Angelus has already noticed that something is wrong. The smoke-filled room lit up again with an ominous red light.

"Run!"

Angrus grabbed Daddy Farrell, turned and ran, and in the blink of an eye he was dozens of meters away; With a wave of his hand, Kuran held up an enchantment, then turned and disappeared into the shadows.

The red light suddenly brightened, and it was obvious that it was about to explode in the next second. Taraki did not and did not care about any protective measures, covered his head with both hands, and fell to the ground desperately.

(It's over...... Father and mother, please forgive your son's unfilial piety...... Taraki silently began to pray in his heart, (Forgive your slaves, O merciful Lord...... ）

But Taraki waited a long time. I waited for a long time and didn't hear the deafening explosion, and I didn't experience the huge energy generated by the explosion moment after waiting for a long time. What's going on?

With some inexplicable impulse, he rolled over and jumped up, rushed to the door that had been blown beyond recognition, and looked into the room.

Seconds later, a heart-rending shout rang out from the smoke-filled room.

"My trial! My materials! And my heart's work! Ah~~~~~~h

Obviously, the second appearance of the red light was not a precursor to an explosion, but a decay of energy that usually occurs at the end of a magic test......
