As a young lady who loves to read, her experience can be called very rich.

In order to pursue the essence of the laws of the material world, she once invaded the spires of ancient magicians and feasted on the secrets of magic and alchemy; In order to understand the history and the future, she once wandered the ruins of the Tower of Babel in the Burning Plains, visiting every ruin; In order to understand the power of demons, she has infiltrated the Dark Library and even searched for the gates to Hell...... She was a scholar, a thief, and an assassin on this unscrupulous quest for knowledge, and her story was passed down to the few who witnessed her, and she was known as "Lady of Secrets" in mysterious and strange stories.

Few people know her true identity, and the forces and mysterious mentors behind her are an eternal mystery, and some even say that she inhabits the Void.

"I heard the dragon's voice, but it wasn't real."

The rose-red light flickered, and the Lady of Mystery stepped out of the void, her face covered in a black veil, revealing only a pair of black eyes that glowed with a mysterious pink light.

"This mausoleum is a great miracle, but I have a vague feeling that something is wrong...... Why? ”

In the street behind her, snow covered everything, and the Winter Saintess had become an ice sculpture Saintess.

Killing a High Magus is not a very laborious task for the Lady of Secret.

As an Origin Warrior who combined the power of the Void, she had been a Sage for quite some time, even if she was against the Great Magister who was also a Sage.

What really baffled the Lady of Secrecy was the strange aura in the mausoleum, which became even more pronounced when the tomb was fully activated - so she didn't rush to the pillar of light in the center of the mausoleum.

The Lady of Concealment crouched down, her fingertips touching a pale stone slab.

"The buildings and the streets are like a perfect mirror, and at the same time there is a distorted reality, which I have never seen before."

Not only that, but she is also extremely sensitive to divination and fate, and she faintly smells that there is danger buried in the future.

After a moment's hesitation, the Lady of Concealment took a book from her waist wrapped in a beautiful cover and pulled out a piece of white paper.

Somewhat distressed, she threw the paper into the wind and uttered a spell in her mouth that was not part of the elemental text.

The white paper fluttered in the wind for a moment, then folded itself to the sound of a spell, and after a complex transformation, folded into a delicate mouth.

"Three questions, you can ask the great Aorako!"

In mid-air, the white paper lips closed one by one, making a sharp and piercing strange sound.

The veil of the Hidden Lady fluttered slightly, and she looked up at the white paper, her voice low and flat: "I want to know what kind of danger will be encountered in the Ji Tomb. ”

"As an Origin Warrior, you should be confident!" The self-proclaimed Aorako's white lips shrieked, "You will encounter three Sages, one from the past, one from the present, and one from the future!" ”

Aurako's mouth was suddenly burned by a third of the rootless fire, and it let out a painful wail that sounded amused.

Although this answer was a bit off-topic, Lady Crypt knew that this was the usual style of Aoraco. Instead of thinking about this passage immediately, she moved on to the next question: "Who has entered the pillar of light?" ”

"One person—no, just two people!" Missing a small half of his mouth, Aorako replied inarticulately, "A man and a woman, an angel and a demon, an Odelik and a Gole!" ”

"How many people are ......," Ms. Cryptic felt a little headache.

At this time, the corners of Orako's mouth were only a little, and just as he was about to answer, the Lady Crypt immediately said, "No, this is not the third question! ”

As if in a hurry to disappear, Aorako shut his mouth suddenly.

"The third question is, how can we avoid or reduce the danger?"

"Kill them all, of course! Kill all the competitors! Aoraco shouted a little frantically, "Don't let any of the weaklings enter the pillar of light, haha!" ”

Flames rose, and the noisy white paper completely turned into a string of ashes, floating in the air.

The Lady of Concealment pondered quietly for a moment, then she looked in the direction of the pillar of light and muttered, "There seems to be some kind of restriction in Ji Ling, but it does not suppress my origin power. ”

She was surprised that there were three other Sages in the tomb, and according to the known information, neither the Odrik nor the Goles could get the Sages into the ruins. Unfortunately, the answers given in Aorako's prophecy have always been stingy and vague, otherwise she could have prepared more.

"What can be done now is to try to avoid as many people as possible from entering the pillar of light." The Lady of Concealment said slowly, "It won't be difficult to hunt them down, but what will the two who have already entered the pillar of light find?" I'd love to go in and have a look. ”

She shook her head, stretched out her hand and drew a circle in midair, her fingertips shining with rose-red thorns of light, carving a simple ring pattern like a dagger.

The rose-red ring froze silently in mid-air, the light flickered, and then the entire pattern disappeared into thin air.

In order to get closer to more knowledge and turn it into a secret, the Lady of Cryptology already has a bloody cleanup plan in her heart.

Archer Blaze stared silently at the Tower of Nothingness, standing in the middle of the street and thinking for a few seconds, then walking quickly forward.

She didn't expect that as soon as she approached the Tower of Nothingness, the terrain of the tomb moved, and then an inconspicuous pillar of light fell from the void in the distance, and from the direction it was in the middle of the ruins.

This change indicates that Ji Ling has been activated, and this is what she planned to do after entering the Great Hall of the Master.

Apart from her, there is only one other person who knows how to activate Himereung.

"Has General Man Wenlin already arrived? I need to join her soon. ”

Archer quickened his pace, and in the midst of his movements, he was already under the Tower of Nothingness.

Standing at the foot of the tower, you can feel the majesty of this tower of nothingness more deeply. Even when she was in Slom, she could see the towering upside-down tower through a layer of void.

Archer knew that the Master's Hall was in the middle of the tower, and Hill Manvenlin should have arrived first, piecing together the scrambled map.

She stretched out her hand and put it on the iron door at the bottom of the tower, and slowly pushed it open, only to find that there was already a person waiting for her behind the door.

It was a man covered in a pitch-black cloak.

Archer's pupils suddenly contracted, and the chanting of a spell sounded in his ears.

It was a familiar female voice, a female voice she could never forget.

"Nevenmor!"

Archer said silently, but she found herself suddenly unable to breathe, unable to breathe in her mouth and nose no matter how hard she tried.

This is...... Medium magic [vacuum box]!

Having missed the golden opportunity to get out of the trap in shock, Archer clutched his throat, opened his mouth, and barely chanted a fire bomb before passing out in the agony of suffocation.

The fire bomb spell collapsed, and a rippling shield hovered silently in front of Levi, who took off the hood of his cloak, revoked his defensive magic, and looked at the unconscious court magician on the ground in confusion.

"How would she know about Nyvenmor?" He whispered to himself.

Reduced to the size of a thumb, Terrella sat on Levi's shoulder and said, "If you know how to ignore appearances, you can easily see through her identity." ”

Levi frowned, flipped the mage lying on the ground over, and then took off her hood. He looked closely at her mediocre features, and then at her fiery red hair for a moment.

"Is this a human skin* mask? It's so exquisitely done. He said, "It seems that this court magician should be Miss Firebrier...... Even the duke's daughter was mixed into the tomb? ”

Levi stroked her smooth neck and found a bond before tearing off a mask as thin as white paper, confirming that she was Archer Blaze.

Terella wasn't very interested in it, and she said, "Without the Voice Changing Crystal, do you have to rely on me to cover up every time you chant your spell?" ”

"No, just give me a little more time." Levi glued the mask back and said lightly, "Anyway, did you plan to do this a long time ago?" ”

"You mean the Demon Palace?" Terella chuckled, "How's it going, is it easy?" ”

Levi touched his chin and said, "It's really convenient, it's the first time I've experienced the taste of magic flowing in my body, but why are you sure that giving me a magic palace will allow me to exert my strength?" ”

He spread out his right hand, and a dark blue symbol was printed on the palm of his hand, emitting a faint fluorescence, flickering in and out with some kind of harmony.

"As far as I can see, your knowledge of magical theory is no less than that of a magister, and in some areas of opportunism is astonishing." Terella gently swung her calves as if to show off, "And your mental talent is actually very high, besides...... Even if you don't have this magic palace, you have the means to restrain the magician, right? ”

Listening to Terella's words, Levi remembered that he had interrupted Archer's spell on the sidelines of the Demon Arena, and that he had to do so to save the life of Alva's idiot, and it seemed that this secret had not been hidden from the Shadow Queen, after all, she had been hiding it from herself.

"What are you going to do with Archer......

Not continuing the conversation, Levi had other considerations for Archer's appearance, and he had planned to knock the court magician out and immediately rush to the vicinity of the pillar of light, but now the situation has changed.

"There is a sage in the tomb, have you figured out how to do it?" Tyrella asked in a low voice, "While your 'Demon Palace' can provide near-infinite magic power, and also solves the affinity problem of most low-to-medium spells, the Sage is the Sage, not an enemy that can be defeated by shortcuts. ”

"I know." Levi frowned and said, "The question I'm thinking about is that maybe it's not a coincidence that Archer Blaze is here. ”

He crouched down and searched Archer's body, his hands unabashedly examining every spot, including his chest and the base of his thighs.

"You mean, her target is the Master Hall?" Terrella was silent for a moment.

"I think it's obvious, since she knows that Ji Ling is activated, but she still has to approach the main hall, it means that she thinks the people in the main hall are allies." Levi speculated.

During the conversation, he found two scrolls on Archer's body.

The first scroll looks new, with a map of the Himeling drawn on it, but with the Himeeling activated, the scrambled version of the map has become useless.

Levi tossed the first scroll away and picked up the second one. When he unfolded the scroll, he was greeted by a yellowed map densely marked with place names.

Levi discovers that this is the map of the Himereung that Terella has pieced together on a stone map.

"It's ...... Drawings of the [Living Labyrinth]. Terrella said with some surprise.

Levi pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that you are not the only one who knows how to activate Jiling, but the really strange thing is that there are two maps. ”

"It's not impossible for the Odlik to have the drawings of the Jiling." Tyrella said slowly, "Saladin can't hide all his wealth. ”

"Why did Archer Blaze change his appearance?" Levi looked at the ancient map, "Is it possible that she's on a secret mission and doesn't want the rest of Audrick's team to know?" ”

Tyrella was silent for a moment, then said, "It's possible, but it's impossible to know for sure, because the first map can help her find the Master's Hall." ”

"As a much more complex blueprint than the map of Slom City, the first map has no markings, including the location of the Tower of Nothingness." Levi shook his head and said, "Although there is not enough evidence, I don't think most people have the activated Jiling map in their hands. ”

He tucked the map into his pocket and slowly stood up.

"Ji Ling has been activated, and we don't have time to explore these things." Levi said calmly, "Take Archer with you to the depths of the mausoleum." ”

He chanted a lowly magic [rock chain] to bind Archer, crumpling the useless scroll into a ball and stuffing it into her mouth.

Using the levitation technique to lift her body from the ground, Levi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now I want to thank you, Terella...... This magic palace has made my plans so much easier. ”

"I must remind you once again that your magic comes from Ji Ling, and once you leave this space, it will have no effect." Terrella said.

"That's enough." Levi's eyes narrowed, he put his hood on, and walked in the direction of the pillar of light.

He really didn't expect that the central core buried under the slate map was actually a spirit without a material form, and after the baptism of Terella's secret arts, it lost its function of moving and controlling the mausoleum, and was kneaded into a void node, and the other end of the node was connected to the energy of the entire Ji Tomb.

This means that when this node is used by Levi, the entire Himeling is his magic palace.

This also means that Levi can use this power to do something as [Nevenmor]...... He had a crazy and bold idea.

Before reaching the depths of the Tomb, he must adapt to the power of this "Demon Palace" and try to translate his magical theories into real-life weapons.

Of course, the first magic to figure out is the Natural's animal spell [Transfiguration], which can be used to modify one's vocal cords.

At this time, Levi didn't know that what was waiting for him in front of him was a genuine Sage.
