078 Giant Gate
There is a very magical tree in this world, they have a human-like face, and they can communicate with others through their mouths, and the prophecy tree itself is not called that, but some wizards have found that their occasional nonsense has come true, so they are named so.

Most of the nonsense spoken by the prophecy tree will eventually turn out to be true, but the one that survived in St. Kaban has only been repeating the same sentence for more than a decade.
"When water gushes out of the earth, and trees catch fire, and clouds fall, and thunder and lightning roar, disaster follows. β
After saying goodbye to Wayne, Psius left the Red Wall Tower with Yarman and Lorna, the two wizard apprentices plan to choose the monster department as their main department next year, speaking of which, among the five major departments of witchcraft, the largest number of people are the three departments of spells, potions, and monsters.
"Are you going back to the Twin Horns now?" asked Yarman.
"I don't know, if I could, I would like to find a place to wander, you see the way I am now, I can't do any witchcraft experiments at all, I can't even pick up a staff. Psius shrugged.
"Then let's go fishing in the Lake of the Vows, there have been a lot of black spotted fish coming to spawn in the Lake of the Vows recently, and many wizards say that the flesh of this fish is particularly tender, and the soup is also delicious. Lorna suggested.
"I can't imagine that such an idea would come out of your mouth. Yarman looked at Lorna in amazement, knowing that this girl was not willing to do anything but learn witchcraft.
"If you could understand more about the art of speaking, I would come up with more interesting ideas. Lorna gave Yarman a disgusted look, pulled Psius' arm and walked in the direction of the Lake of Oath.
"What does this have to do with me?" said Yarman, who strode after him.
......
No one knows how big the Lake of Oath is, not even from the top of the tallest wizard's tower in St. Caban, where the boundaries of the Lake of the Vows are, but it is clear that the lake is safe for St. Caban.
When the three of them arrived at the lake, there were already a lot of apprentice wizards fishing with fishing rods.
"How many fishers? Do you need a fishing rod? A five-dollar gold gart. Seeing that the three of Psius had nothing in their hands, a young man with a fishing rod on his back immediately ran over and asked.
Greedy!
Psius always felt that the two Egboch brothers were the only merchants in St. Kaban, but he didn't expect that the wizard in front of him who sold fishing rods was even more exaggerated, this kind of fishing rod sold for a silver gart at most in Pamond, but in his hands, the price of this fishing rod was at least dozens of times more than ten.
"Friend, you can't also be from the Egboch family, are you?" asked Psius.
"No, I'm not, but Osvid and Ulysses have always been my business idols. β
Psius: "......"
In the end, Lorna generously took out fifteen gold garts and bought three fishing rods from the wizard as a gift for buying three in a row, and the other party specially gave an iron bucket for fish and a small box of bait for fishing, which were actually a dozen earthworms dug out of the soil on the shore of the Lake of Oath.
"Come on, it's better to hang a few more before the sun goes down. Lorna gave each of the rods to Psius and Jarman, and then walked to the Lake of Oaths and threw out the bait.
Wayne's family can let Wayne spend such extravagance on Kingat, Lorna, who was born in Winnie's family, naturally doesn't care much about Kingat, invisibly, Psius met a local tyrant wizard through Yarman, and held the fishing rod worth five gold-gart in his hand with his arms, Psius could only silently sigh in his heart.
You must know that the last time he went to Gray Iron Ore Town, Gerlin only gave him three gold garts as his daily expenses, which is not a big difference in comparison.
"That's not right...... How can I fish like this?" Psius suddenly reacted, his arm below the elbow would be completely unconscious due to the 'double arm modification', how could a person whose arms were incapacitated go fishing.
"I'll help you throw the bait out, you sit on the ground with your rod between your legs, and if a fish catches the bait, tell me and I'll pull it up for you. Yarman patted Psius on the shoulder with a smile very righteously.
This time, the tide of black spotted fish that came to spawn in the Oath Lake is very abundant, and through the clear surface of the Oath Lake, you can clearly see the black spotted fish swimming around the bottom of the lake, and almost these wizards who are fishing on the shore can catch a black spotted fish weighing more than eight catties every time they drop the bait. The results are very clear.
The moment the sun sinks into the surface of Lake Vows, it also means that the day's fishing is coming to an end, as the black spotfish will burrow into the mud at the bottom of the lake at night to rest, and no matter how tempting the bait may be.
Yarman lifted the bucket full of black spotted fish, "It's really heavy." β
"What now, where are we going to eat fish?" asked Psius.
"Can you have a fire outside the Dragon Tower where you live?" Lorna asked, turning to Yarman.
"Yes, but I'm afraid I'll get the dragon's attention, it's a gluttonous dragon, and this fish isn't enough to stuff its teeth. Yarman scratched his head and smiled bitterly, he remembered that last time a wizard roasted a bull weighing hundreds of pounds outside the dragon tower, and kindly shared food with the red dragon guarding the dragon tower, but he didn't expect to be swallowed by the other party in one gulp.
"Then go to the Dragon Tower, dragons shouldn't be able to look down on this bit of food. Lorna nudiscerly pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose.
The Lake of Oath was some distance from the Dragon Tower, and if you wanted to walk through it, you had to pass through a winding and rugged mountain path, and when Psius and the others were just about to leave, the surface of the Lake of Oath behind them suddenly rippled.
"Your Excellency, please wait. A mermaid emerged from the bottom of the lake, his upper body lying on the edge of the lake, his blue eyes staring at the three of Psius, and a little elf flew out of the mermaid's hair, and the sound he made just now was made.
"Three wizards, please help Barranqui. The elf flew up to the three of Prosius in a panic, pulled up Prosus' clothes, and began to cry.
"Barranqui? Psius couldn't help but be stunned, there didn't seem to be a single person he knew named Barranqui.
"It's the prophetic tree, and barranquis is the name Elizabeth gave it. Lorna reacted immediately, and she asked the elf, "What's wrong with Barranqui?"
"There is a mountain crack on the east side of the Lake of Vows, no one has ever entered it, Barranki walked there today and felt curious, it was useless to persuade it, it just wanted to go into the mountain crack to see, but it has not come out until now, something must have happened. The elf reluctantly said the matter, hoping that Psius and the others would enter the crack in the mountain and bring Barranquis back.
"This sounds dangerous, or you might as well go find someone else, Wizard Merlin doesn't live by the Lake of Oaths. Yarman said with little interest: "What danger can Barranquis have been in St. Caban for so long, it is a tree of prophecy." β
"But it has only said one prophecy after so many years in St. Caban, and it will not be a false prophecy tree. Psius couldn't help but add a sentence, which immediately caused Yarman to laugh, but no one thought it was a joke, and the scene was very quiet.
The elf looked at Yarman aggrievedly, "Your Excellency Wizard, please help Barranqui, it is a kind tree." β
"Huhuhu!" the mermaid lying on the shore opened his mouth and shouted a few words in a language that Psius did not understand, as if he was also begging for help from Psius and the others.
"Where is that crack in the mountain, take us there. Lorna suddenly agreed.
Yarman was incredulous, "Isn't it Lorna, aren't we going to the Dragon's Tower to grill fish?"
I saw Lorna snatch the bucket from Yarman's hand and throw it into the Lake of Oath, then clapped her hands and said, "There is no fish to roast now." β
Psius: "......"
Yarman: "......"
The St. Caban's Wizarding Academy is built on a low hill, which is not very high, but it covers a very large area, which is why St. Caban's Wizarding Academy is able to provide so much land for the Wizard's Tower.
Led by the elves, the three of Psius ran along the shore of the Lake of Oaths, and after about ten minutes came to the crevice in the mountain that no one had ever entered.
"This is it, Barranqui is from here. β
The shape of this crack looks very strange, as if it was forcibly smashed by something, and at the entrance of the crack you can see a lot of broken roots, which must have fallen off Barranqui's body.
Tonight's moonlight was so dim that it was impossible to see the situation inside the mountain crevice, and Yarman couldn't help muttering, "We don't have a staff with us, so let's go back and call another wizard to solve this problem." β
"Go in and see first, and if there's anything wrong, come out. Lorna immediately rejected his idea, and Yarman had to change his tactics again: "It looks so dark in here, and we don't have any lighting tools." β
"It's fine, I can fix it. Psius shook his right leg, and out of his hive flew a swarm of black ants with glowing bellies.
After experiencing the incident in the last gray iron ore town, Psius became interested in the insects in the blue insect lamp that Kelly gave him, and after returning from the gray iron ore town, he simply added the silver insects to his mixed insect experiment, and then successfully mixed this kind of second-generation insects with the flight ability of the hornet, the explosive ability of the explosive ants and the bright light of the insects, if they can have the attack ability of the bigtoothed mother and child ants, then this batch of insects can be regarded as perfect insects.
Seeing the group of fluorescent ants converging into a bright ball of light in the air, Yarman was completely speechless.
"You also made a 'body hive'?" Lorna was a little surprised, she had never seen a wizard apprentice like Psius who was involved in several major forms of witchcraft.
Strong enemy repulsion spells, thought flip spells, body insect tides, arm transformation, rat cavities, it can be said that in addition to the illusory witchcraft, the other four major systems of witchcraft have been more or less exposed to it. Of course, this is still a situation where others don't know that he has a necromancy.
"Let's go, bring Barranquis out early, and I'll be back at the Twin Towers. "Psius was the first to walk into the crevice with his fluorescent ants, although his arms couldn't move at the moment, but with the protection of these second-generation insects he had cultivated, he was not too worried.
......
At first, the three of Psius were very vigilant and worried about whether there would be any monsters in front of them, but as time passed, the hearts of the three gradually relaxed, and there was no other movement in the entire mountain path except for their own footsteps.
The roots left on the ground meant that Barranquis had walked through it, and Psius looked back with some boredom and asked, "Can any of you guess where this place leads?"
"Could it be the belly of the mountain? If it weren't for the elf, I wouldn't have known there was such a place. β
The three of them walked all the way to the depths, and they didn't know how long they walked, a mountain wall with esoteric runes appeared in front of them, this was a stone room of more than ten square meters, and in the middle, a three-meter-high ore door stood quietly there.
After glancing around, none of the three of them found Barranqui, but the mountain road had already come to an end.
"Strange, there's no other passage here, where can the prophecy tree hide?" Jarman followed the roots of the tree on the ground to the ore door.
It was a huge gate carved entirely of quartz, and at the bottom, countless quartz pillars broke out of the earth like sharp swords, clustered like flowers into umbrellas, and carved many strange-looking unknown creatures on the door frame, and all the eyes of all the creatures looked into the door in unison.
There was no trace of the roots in front of the giant gate, and it seemed that Barranquis had disappeared here, but this giant gate of quartz stone was obviously carved, could it still be pushed open and go to another place?
Psius looked up at the door, and saw that at the top of the gate, there was a carving of a merfolk wrapped around the doorframe, with a crown on its head and a trident in its hand, and unlike the other carvings, the mermaid's eyes were not white quartz, but two black obsidian.
"There are so many creature sculptures, it's not the same as this mermaid, do you want my bugs to touch it?" Psyus consulted with his two companions.
"Try it. Lorna immediately agreed, but Yarman hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded his head.
The glowing ants flew towards the top of the gate at the command of Psius, and they landed on the mermaid sculpture and crawled around, hoping to find something wrong, but found nothing.
Just as Psius was about to retrieve the ant, an ant suddenly climbed onto the obsidian in the mermaid's eye.
I saw that in an instant, the entire quartz stone giant gate lit up with a dazzling white light, and the originally immovable faΓ§ade slowly opened the door crack that could only enter one person, and there was a deafening sound of wind at the other end of the door, and a huge suction force pulled the bodies of the three of Psius and continued to move towards the giant door.
The light of the giant gate was too dazzling, and Psius couldn't see what was on the other side of the door at all, so he felt his body suddenly lighten, and then the whole person was directly sucked into the giant door and lost consciousness.
And after Psius was sucked away, the giant door was suddenly closed again, the suction, the wind, and the white light all stopped, and everything returned to normal.
"Pu, what about Psius?" Jarman looked around in confusion, only Lorna looked at the quartz giant gate with a solemn face.
"He was sucked in. β
