When Archer Blaze opened his eyes, there was only a mysterious figure in front of him, covered in a pitch-black cloak.

Nervemor!

One of her spirits subconsciously wanted to stand up and chant a spell, but found that her whole body could not move, and her mouth was stuffed with a foreign object.

Nevenmor's chuckle was heard.

"See you again, Miss Firebrier."

Levi said with a smile.

Archer's heart was beating violently, she couldn't make a physical movement, her hands and legs were tightly bound by rock chains, but her clenched fists betrayed her nervousness.

"Has the problem of mental power been solved?" Levi folded his hands on his knees as if he were chatting, "If you have shortcomings, you will never be a Magus." ”

He paused and whispered, "I guess it's hard for you to learn the second high magic, right?" ”

Archer seemed to feel his breath blocked for a moment, but this time Neven Mor didn't cast the vacuum. She reluctantly admits that Nevemor was right in her guess that she couldn't learn more of the higher magic after successfully learning [Siraia Barnes's Mini-Fire], but she didn't mention it to anyone.

But Nevenmor seemed to know everything, and the feeling of being held firmly in the palm of his hand was not pleasant.

As Nervemor said, the criterion for becoming a magister is to master three high-level magic...... That's right, if she can't solve the shortcomings of her own mental strength, it will be difficult for her to go further.

Levi's reaction to Archer was not surprising, and as a "sage in the field of theory", he was confident in his judgment.

"Everyone who comes to the Ji Tomb will face known enemies and unknown dangers, as the daughter of the Grand Duke of Blaze, why did you change your appearance and sneak into the Ji Tomb?" He said lightly, "Are you aiming for the heart of Terella, or is it ...... Is it another holy relic? ”

Even for a moment, a look of doubt flashed in Archer's eyes, and this trace of doubt was captured by Levi - there are many kinds of doubts, including doubts about new things, or doubts about the leakage of information, and Archer obviously belongs to the former.

The so-called "other artifact" was pure nonsense for Levi, but from this little trick and Archer's reaction, he could roughly infer that Archer only knew the heart of Terella.

He stayed at the formless opera house to study the hidden star maps on the map and to communicate effectively with Archer Blaze.

Of course, he was still thinking about multitasking during the time he waited: solving puzzles, analyzing situations, designing deceptions, sorting out magical theories, and developing a plan of action...... It's all a mental operation that he is accustomed to on a daily basis.

"Don't be surprised that I can see through your identity, what I'm trying to say is...... Have you ever heard of Mage Buster? ”

Levi suddenly chanted a spell, and he lifted his finger, and the tip of his finger turned a clear emerald green, and a young bud emerged from his fingertips, and soon grew into a slender vine.

Archer shuddered as she watched the vine poke out of mid-air toward her abdomen.

The tips of the vines burrowed into her garment, down the collar and down her lower abdomen, and after a brief sting, Archer felt as if the palace was crawling with greenery, and they frantically sucked the magic like parasites, and with this magic power spread throughout her body, making it difficult for her to mobilize a trace of mana.

She soon remembered that it was the high magic [parasitic seed] of the natural plant, and although the casting process was slow, once it was hit, the parasitic person would be forced to nurture the seed with magical power, causing it to grow rapidly in its body...... Until the spell fails, the parasite cannot use magic.

As she thought, the vines on Nevenmor's fingertips suddenly turned yellow, then withered into a withered branch and fell to the ground, and the mage robe on her shoulder was suddenly torn open with a small hole, and a delicate fiery red flower broke free from the pores of her skin and bloomed.

Retracting his finger, Levi waved his hand, and the waste paper in Archer's mouth flew aside, and the rock chains on his body also turned into rubble.

As soon as she regained her freedom, Archer jumped up from the ground, her fingertips lit up red—but as soon as she chanted a few notes, she felt the magic of the Demon Palace be transformed into fine vines, and these tiny plants like blood vessels spread wildly through her body, causing her to feel a heart-rending pain.

The small red flowers on her shoulders became brighter, as if they had been greatly nourished.

"If I were you, I wouldn't try these pointless things."

Levi said with a smile.

"Even if you can use all your magic, it won't affect me much."

Archer gritted her teeth, and she suddenly rushed towards Levi, stealthily pulling a delicate dagger from the cuff of the mage's robes.

Levi instantly chanted a [Tempest], a spell that was much stronger than [Wind], and a fierce wind blew on Archer, lifting her off the ground and slamming her against the white wall behind the stage.

Archer fell from the wall in embarrassment, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a finger stretched out by Nevenmor, and then the dagger she clutched tightly in her hand was swept away by an invisible whirlwind and pierced into the stone pillar beside her.

"Your desperate actions have no reason and no value, and you might as well think that if I want you to die, you will already be a corpse on the night of the winter solstice."

Levi held his cheek with his right hand and placed his right leg on his left leg, looking calm.

"Who the hell are you?" Archer struggled to get up from the ground, "Why did you appear in the Himereung?" ”

"I answered your first question, I'm Nevenmor." Levi said lightly, "As for the second question, it's okay to tell you - of course I can't enter the Ji Mausoleum with my rank, so all you see is a wisp of my doppelganger." ”

"You're a Sage?" Confirming this from Nevenmor's mouth, Archer was shocked but as if expected, "Doppelganger...... So you don't have the rank of a Sage now? ”

Levi laughed lightly and said, "It's not that it doesn't mean that it won't be in the future, it's just that it will take some time for the real body to come." ”

Nevenmor's words set off a storm in Archer's heart, whether it was Goeller or Odryk's explorer team, the strongest person who entered the tomb with the help of the dragon eggshell fragment was only the highest magister level, and there was a gap that could not be ignored from the sage.

However, this mysterious archmage named Neven Mor has a way to enter the tomb of Ji on his own, which will be a disaster for everyone!

A sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of Archer's heart...... He must be killed, he must be killed before his true body comes, or everything in the tomb will fall into the hands of Nevenmor.

"You don't have to look at me with such hostility, I don't have any interest in the heart of Terella." Levi said suddenly.

Archer was stunned, a little confused by Nevenmor's words, but she was still vigilant, but the hostility in her eyes was slightly reduced.

Levi keenly noticed that Archer's momentum had shifted slightly from hostility to wariness, which gave him a little more certainty of her purpose.

"You know the Tower of Nothingness and the Great Hall of the Controller, it seems that you did a lot of homework before entering the tomb...... I believe you have a mission, but I have no interest in the messenger behind you. Levi's left hand slowly moved over his knee, "As for the partner you agreed to meet in the Master's Hall, that guy's luck is much worse than yours." ”

Levi was cluttering, and through Archer's clear intentions to go to the Tower of Nothingness, he was almost certain that she had at least one ally, but even if she misjudged, it didn't matter.

Archer's pupils contracted slightly, she was silent for a while, gritted her teeth and asked, "What did you do with him?" ”

Levi's eyes narrowed, and from this answer it could be deduced that Archer should have only one partner, and that person was male.

But is it possible that gender is a trap?

"Him?" Levi repeated the word in a noncommittal tone, then chuckled lowly.

He looked at Archer's expression and sighed ambiguously, obscuring his reaction and making Nevenmor even more mysterious.

"No matter how many helpers you have, it's hard to get the Heart of Terella." Levi said slowly, casually skipping the topic of gender, "Putting me aside for the time being, there are at least two other sages in the Ji Tomb." ”

Two Sages? Archer couldn't help but gasp.

She said coldly, "Why should I believe you? ”

Levi didn't really care about Archer's toughness, and he said calmly: "You should have noticed a giant dragon appearing in the pillar of light before, and you don't need me to say more, you also know that the adult dragon clan must be of the Sage rank...... As for the other Sage, the dragon awakened precisely to deal with him. ”

Archer listened to Nevenmor's explanation, and his heart was in a state of doubt. When she calmed down, she realized that the Archmagus had no motive to deceive herself, unless he wanted to learn some secret from herself.

She had deliberately misstated Hill Manvenlin's gender, but Nerven Mor did not correct or affirm him, but only intriguingly repeated the "he", which made Archer uncertain about his words.

"You know more about the tomb than I thought, and it seems that you know almost nothing about the tomb except for a map left by Saladin." Levi picked up the yellowed scroll and shook it slightly, "I can tell you, however, that this map is more valuable than you think it is—for example, it tells me where the heart of Terrella is. ”

Constantly throwing false bait at Archer, Levi did not feel weak at all, he was like a confident webweaver, eating away at the psychological defense of his prey little by little.

Is that the map left by Saladin? There's a clue to where the Heart of Terrella is?

Archer resisted the urge to ask Nervemore, not wanting to reveal her ignorance of Himeling's intelligence, but the absurd truth was that even she thought that Nervenmor had seen her clearly, and as long as she didn't touch the most important secret in her heart, she even felt that there was no point in resisting or covering up.

Levi sat up straight, spread his hands, and said, "I've got my chips, if you want to know where Terella's Heart is, show me your sincerity." ”

He stood up, smiled and said, "Of course, I'll give you some time to think about it, but it won't be long...... After all, this is a high-ranking holy relic, and even if I am not interested, I don't mind taking it into my pocket. ”

Looking at the mysterious shadow shrouded in front of her, Archer thought of the mission she had to complete - the only person she could count on at this time was the silver Ji who didn't know whether she was dead or alive, but if what Nevenmor said was true, what could the two of them do in the battle of a group of saints? Or maybe General Hill is dead, what can she do alone?

Gritting her teeth, Archer, who had always acted decisively, no longer hesitated, she looked at Nevenmor's face in the shadow, and asked word by word: "What do you want?" ”

Levi smiled slightly, and he raised his hand, which he had already imprinted in his mind, and threw the scroll at Archer.

"I am a very sincere person, and no matter how weak you are to me, I will be fair." His low chuckle came from under his cloak, "See the crown logo on the map?" This is the chips that are advanced. ”

Somewhere in a wide pale street, a large group of Odericks gathered and marched towards a huge pillar of light in the depths of the tomb.

The team consisted of five swordsmen from the King's Guard and three court magicians, most of whom were not injured in the encounters and were relatively intact in combat.

They were short of the pillar of light, and they could reach it by crossing the last stretch of the street.

The swordsmen of the Guards surrounded the three mages in the middle in a three-front, two-back procession, with the swordsmen in the front row carrying a kite-shaped shield engraved with the sublime motif of the undying sun.

The three court magicians also set up counter-magic and defensive magic in advance, and watched vigilantly in all directions.

To be able to get here alive, every member of this team should not be underestimated, and each has its own merits.

Just when the team was only a few dozen meters away from the pillar of light, a sudden change occurred in the void above their heads:

A rose-red ring with a diameter of three meters suddenly emerged from mid-air, and many small straight lines protruded from the inner side of the ring, which were uneven in length but pointed together to the center of the circle, forming a wonderful pattern.

When everyone noticed this scene, the plane pattern floating in the void suddenly changed - like a detonated fireball, every ray of light on the ring shot out perpendicular to the circular surface, and a blinding rose red enveloped the three swordsmen who walked in front.

The three swordsmen who reacted quickly subconsciously raised their shields above their heads, but when countless rose-colored straight lines touched their bodies, the movements of these three people suddenly became extremely slow, and whether they tried to raise their shields or swing their swords and roll, it seemed that it became impossible.

The rose-red ring exploded in the void, and a figure appeared above everyone's heads.

Her black hair was tied in long braids and floated slowly in the air; Her eyes were graceful and beautiful, with a pink glow in her dark eyes; Her face is shrouded in black mystery, but she can't hide her slender neck and sexy collarbones; Her graceful body was wrapped in a black cuirass trimmed with gold, and she wore black trousers and quaint boots.

"Odryk, you are not qualified to pursue the secrets of this ruin."

The Lady of Secret landed in front of everyone, her arms stretched out at her sides, her fingers spread out, and two rose-red blades of light appeared between the palms of her palms, a meter long.

She folded her outstretched arms in front of her, palms facing up, ten slender fingers as smooth as white porcelain, and she looked like a cold dancer.

As she moved, the rose-red blade of light slashed through the bodies of the three swordsmen like paper cutters, and the white guard armor on their bodies was neatly split into two pieces, the incision was smooth, and the red blood flowed out of the crack in the armor, and fell to the ground silently.

"Damn, it's not magic!"

Seeing that the three experienced swordsmen were killed in an instant, a court magician shouted in horror.

Undeterred by fear, however, his two fellow mages chanted incantations as a whistling wind knife and a monstrous silver electric snake swept towards the Lady of Concealment at great speed.

"Of course it's not magic."

The Secret Lady's deep voice sounded inexplicably peaceful.

Her figure vanished, and when she reappeared, she was in the middle of the three magicians.

The rose-red blade of light leaped in joy at her fingertips, slicing lightly and quickly through a circle, enveloping all three court mages whose bodies were sliced in half almost simultaneously.

Not a single drop of blood flowed out, only three defensive spells silently collapsed, and three counter-spells were triggered instantly-

A mirror emerges in the air ten meters away and shatters, and the first magician falls out of it.

A flame coalesced into a human form in midair, recreating the body of the second magician.

A patch of ice and snow grew out of thin air, solidifying into the form of a third magician.

"Distance! Stay away from that light! ”

A court mage who had just escaped flew upside down into the distance, reminding his companion as he cast a new defensive spell.

The two Guards swordsmen drew their half-swords and cautiously stepped back to the sides, encircling the Lady of Concealment in the middle.

"Distance is just an illusion of space."

Between the Lady of Secret's stretched fingers, two blades of light vanished with her figure.

Her body emerged between two magicians, two blades of light easily tearing through one of them's flaming cloak, and the court magician was sliced into four pieces before he could even perform a single fireball.

The other magician, who watched his companion be killed, and didn't bother to cast more defensive magic, raised his hand and chanted a queen's snort.

The surging cold wave engulfed the figure of the Hidden Lady, but in the next second, she flew out of the cold wave, wearing a rose-red arc light shield on her body, shielding all the ice and snow from the light mask.

"Who the hell are you—"

The cold magician was left with endless despair in his heart, and before he could finish speaking, a rose-red arrow of light shot out of the hidden lady's hand, easily piercing through the defensive magic [Crystal Shield], and then piercing through his eyebrows.

In an instant, only two swordsmen and one magician were left on the streets. Looking at this elegant and cold woman, their hearts fell into a whirlpool of shock and confusion.

"Origin Warrior...... You are a Sage! That's impossible! A swordsman lowered the shield in his hand, "How could the Sage enter the Ji Tomb?" ”

The Lady of Secret's black veil danced gently, her eyes glowing with serenity, her fingertips flickering with a rose-red glow.

"There is no shame in being weak, ignorance is the original sin."

The rosy bolt of light flew out, sinking into the front swordsman's eyebrows, refracting to the chest of the second swordsman behind him, and then turning to the mage in mid-air again.

In the blink of an eye, three corpses with residual heat fell to the pale stone slab, and the light bolt vanished into the void.

Eight people had been killed in a few breaths, and the Lady of Mystery had lost interest in the place after just glancing at the corpses on the ground, her body clean and not a drop of blood from the killing.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she raised her chin slightly and whispered to herself, "Has another prey fallen into the net?" ”

Before she could finish speaking, her body disappeared into the void and then emerged thousands of meters away on another street.

The rose-red ring pattern exploded, and she stepped out of the glow of light, looking up at the trapped prey in midair: a twisted viper with an emerald green body.

The alert Lady Secret immediately opened the pink mask, followed by a dense "hiss" behind her, and she turned around to see dozens of emerald snakes spitting scarlet letters wrapped around the mask, tearing at the surface of the mask in a frenzy.

The Lady of Concealment frowned, the rose-red glow of the mask flickered, and the viper outside the mask immediately turned into a puddle of blood mixed with minced flesh, and the stinking blood water flowed over the mask and melted into wisps of green smoke.

"Corrosion?"

A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and before she could do anything, the mask vanished in the flicker, exposing her body to the air.

The Lady of Concealment took a few quick steps back, not letting the corrosive snake's blood fall on her.

"I didn't expect to meet an origin warrior in the Ji Tomb."

A strange and gloomy voice came from behind her, and the Lady of Secret turned again, and was greeted by a middle-aged man in a brown robe, with small eyes, thin eyebrows, a narrow and long hooked nose, and thin lips with a touch of blue.

"Interesting, can you detect my trap?"

The Lady of Concealment gave a look of interest.

The hook-nosed man said expressionlessly, "I'm just cautious, Lady Secret. ”

"You are one of the few people who knows my name, but you are still far from the truth." The Lady of Secret's voice was hollow and leisurely, as if she had come from afar, "Pursuing this mysterious pink light, dying to uncover the mystery is your best destination." ”

"I think you may have misunderstood me, I didn't intend to be killed by you, ma'am." The hook-nosed man smiled grimly and said, "The Sage is not such a great rank, if I want to, I can always take the forbidden spell of the Natural Race into my bag...... It's too boring to just imitate someone else's magic, and I'm a stubborn person. ”

The Lady of Secrecy chuckled lightly and said, "You mean to say that you would rather not be promoted to the Sage than create your own forbidden spell?" But it's just the Magister rank, what do you have to do to escape from me? ”

The hook-nosed man put away his smile and said calmly: "I'm not good at escaping, but I'm very good at killing, and I especially like to kill the strong." ”

"Interesting, which Supreme Magister of the Council of Nine are you?"

"[Ring of Poison], Arthur Liszt - I am honored to kill you."

("How should we recognize the strength of a magician?") As the most authoritative magical shrine on the continent, the Kingdom Bachelor's Mansion has a clear criteria for determining the rank of magicians: to be promoted to a magician, you need to master at least five arbitrary spells; To be promoted, a Magister requires mastery of at least three high-level spells, including counter-magic; To be promoted to the Supreme Magister, you need to master at least one quasi-forbidden spell; To be promoted to the Archmage, you need to master at least one forbidden spell. —The Magician)
