81. It hurts
In the strange room change just now, the people in the room on the fourth floor except for Carlo and Prince Lausanne sat on the ground one after another, and the feeling of weightlessness caused by the movement of the room was easy for people to fall, but Carlo had learned a wealth of combat skills before becoming an artificial witch, so his combat ability was still stronger than others.
Father Dirk behind him nervously looked at Cassio's silver mirror in the center of the room, for fear that the movement of the room would violate the taboo of this relic, and suddenly several dangerous spells popped out of it.
"Mother God bless, Mother God bless..."
Like every believer in the Mother Goddess, the traditional ritual of praying to the Mother Goddess is undecided when something happens. Ever since she left the Witch Society, Carlo had despised this practice, as her devout Mother Goddess had not given her any response during her most difficult days.
Since she was tortured by continuous cutting and fleshing, her original fervent faith has gradually worn away day by day, and finally turned into the indifferent appearance she is today.
She pursed her lips and looked warily around the room, the enchantment magic that Carlo had set up before had completely disappeared due to the reversal and alteration of the room, which meant that they were once again exposed to the eyes of the bloodthirsty monsters.
The prince of Lausanne, who was beside him, noticed her small movements, and for some reason, the girl, who seemed to speak a little rudely, unexpectedly made him pay attention.
Maybe it's because she looks really good, or maybe it's because she was so impressed by the way she held the kitten that night?
Prince Lausanne felt that the girl in front of him only looked rude on the outside, but she was extremely soft on the inside, similar to and different from other girls, so he paid some extra attention to her, but only a little extra attention.
"You don't believe in the Mother Goddess?"
"Believing that she can't solve the problem, I'm more inclined to how to really solve the actual suffering... By the way, we've all been stuck here for hours, haven't the people outside noticed anything wrong at all? ”
It stands to reason that even if an academic conference of this size did not discover the magic set by others at the beginning due to negligence, is it possible that people have disappeared for hours without moving, and they don't even know it?
Are all Nari's New Party members curly-haired baboons?
Prince Lausanne did not answer her words, but spoke to Roger, a professor of magic who was sitting on the ground with a bitter face.
I saw him point to the interlocking spatial magic outside, and then raised two fingers respectively, but one side was high and the other was low, he explained,
"It's not that the people outside haven't found out for so long, it's that the time is too short for them. If the magic is set before we enter, then the flow of time inside and outside is probably not the same, like two parallel lines of different lengths, it is possible that we have been here for a few hours and a few days outside, or it is possible that only a minute has passed outside. ”
Then, he put down his finger and said with some pity,
"But as things stand, our time flows much faster than outside, otherwise they wouldn't have found out what was going on here."
Carlo exclaimed in amazement,
"How could the speed of time be different?"
"The power of magic is the echo that moves the world... Have you ever thought that the power of the world can be leveraged, which means that its structure is very complex, and space magic shows the complexity of the world structure vividly, and many scholars even believe that there is a world composed of pure magic, that is, the magic world... Oh no, after this meeting it should be called the Spirit Realm. ”
"The magic of space will often deform the space of the regular world, which is also a reflection of the [degree of reverberation] is very violent, and the space magic of the thirteen rings... We may be somewhere in the Spirit Realm right now, where any ordinary rules no longer apply, and magic is the only truth... Of course, this is just a speculation in the academic community. ”
Roger finished speaking with a sigh, turned his head to look, and saw that everyone around him, except Serena, was looking at him with a look of listening to the sky, and it seemed that he didn't understand at all.
After all, most of the people here are forbidden scholars who are against magic, and it doesn't make sense to say that.
If Fisher was here, he would definitely have a common language with him, thinking of this, Roger suddenly wanted Fisher to come back quickly.
"I'm not trying to take a magic class here, I'm just talking about why we haven't been noticed by anyone out there yet. If there is a big difference in the speed of time, and by the time someone outside notices that something is wrong and breaks the magic, our ashes will be scattered three or four times, so I suggest that we find a way to save ourselves. ”
At this moment, the building outside began to tremble slightly, and the roar of countless monsters came from outside again, and now, the enchantment magic they had arranged was gone, and they didn't have any extra time to set up another one.
Carlo frowned, and there was no way to acquiesce. The prince of Lausanne listened to the voices outside, looked at the ground and didn't know what he was thinking,
"So what do we do now?"
The others looked at Prince Lausanne, who was the only one who was now the backbone.
"Wait here for Fisher to come down and join us, and until then, we're going to make sure everyone is alive. The rest of the men, all but the old man, all of you must take up arms for me, and if anyone flinchs, I guarantee that your family will be the first to die, even if the monster doesn't do it. ”
"Yes!"
"Also, Father Dirk, since the relic can't be moved, let's borrow its power and let it unleash its magic."
"Hey... Although this is not allowed by the Church, after all, the situation is special now, and I believe that Mother God will forgive me. ”
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
After receiving an affirmative answer from everyone, the Prince of Lausanne stood at the door of the room, standing with Carlo.
The room was reconstructed just now, and now there was not only a door in the front, but also a large hole in the back, and they could only hold the front and the back.
"As for me and this... Madam, then in charge of the main entrance. ”
“...”
Carlo didn't reply, just raised his dagger in acquiescence.
The two of them stood at the main entrance, there was a tense atmosphere in the room, the screams and roars of the monsters outside were getting closer and closer, the ring in Lausanne's hand lit up, and suddenly asked,
"I forgot to ask, what's your name?"
"Caro... Lina..."
Carlo paused for a moment after saying his original name, perhaps to better disguise his identity, or perhaps to keep the prince from suspicious of his strange name, but Carlo finally said the new name given to him by the Witch Seminar.
She is the undead witch Karolina.
"Karolina... A nice name that matches your beauty. ”
Oh, old-fashioned sultry skills, Uncle Ben chased the lady at the beginning, but he was able to catch it, your low-end words really make people laugh.
Carlo didn't reply, thinking so in her heart, her earlobes were so red, but fortunately, the room was very dark, and everyone didn't notice anything wrong.
"They're coming!"
With a reminder, countless people and insects climbing on the wall rushed out of the darkness, Carlo and Prince Lausanne stood guard at the door, at this moment, the ring on Prince Lausanne's hand flashed a layer of crimson light, and after that light flickered, an illusory lion's head appeared on his arm, attached to his hand like a fist.
Schwali Relic, Lion's Fist
This relic transforms both hands into lion heads that can bite enemies, and after the lion head hits an enemy, it becomes more frantic and deals more damage with each punch.
Prince Lausanne stripped his clothes off to reveal his muscular body, and with a roar of rage, the lion's fist smashed like a meteor into the rushing human worms, crushing their fragile bones and bodies. The dagger beside him spun quickly, mending the enemies that Lausanne had overlooked.
Behind him, Father Dirk stretched out his hand to the silver mirror, which rippled layer after layer, and then, a magic ring with [Flame] as the ring soon appeared on the mirror.
Five Rings of Magic, [Fire Serpent Parade]
One after another, twisted fiery snakes burst out of front of the mirror, but like a blind man without direction, they shot at the young man next to him, and although he dodged in time, he could not prevent the flames from burning his pants.
"My ass!"
Seeing that the fire snake was difficult to control, Bishop Dirk didn't care if it would break the taboo of the church, anyway, now that it had begun to release magic, he simply turned the silver mirror and let it face the human worms that poured in behind.
The silver mirror was like a non-reloading repeating musket, frantically venting its fire at the entrance of the cave, and countless human insects painfully covered their ignited skin and pushed back, bringing the flames to more monsters.
At this moment, Father Dirk looked at the enemy who was engulfed by countless flame bombs, and for some reason, a flash of happiness swelled up in his heart, and he lifted the black robe of the church, revealing his white arms, and shouted as if bewitched by the fierce fire,
"Shoot them!"
Even in his mind, even the statue of the loving Mother Goddess began to raise a musket that fired repeatedly, apparently he thought it was the guidance of the Mother Goddess.
But in the next second, because he moved the silver mirror indiscriminately without a ritual, the magic on the silver mirror disappeared in an instant, and it became another magic with [Cold Ice] as the ring.
Three-ring magic, [Freeze].
Before Dirk could feel a biting chill in his hands, he lowered his head in a panic, and the next moment he was covered in a thin layer of ice.
Because the ground was uneven, Father Dirk, who had turned into an ice squirt, slid towards the people next to him, and Principal Ken, who was already wheezing and frightened, hurriedly grabbed the surface of his slippery ice scarf, but he didn't expect the magic on the silver mirror to change instantly, turning into a two-ring magic [cyclone].
"Bang!"
Then, along with the large ice sculpture, Ken was swept away by the air emitted by the silver mirror in front of him, and fell to the ground.
"You damn it! Die! ”
"Nope! There's a monster that has caught me! ”
Just after a series of micro-exercises by Father Dirk, the entrance to the cave guarded by so many people behind him was instantly a little overwhelmed, even worse than the situation where there were only Carlo and Prince Lausanne in front.
Caro turned her head reluctantly, seeing that countless hands outside grabbed the body of a screaming young man, trying to drag him out, she gritted her teeth, rushed out and cut off the arm that grabbed him with a knife, and then hurriedly blocked the hole alone, and at the same time turned back and shouted,
"Go fix that silver mirror!"
Who knew it would be so coincidental when it was used, the first magic was the [Fire Serpent Parade] that needed to be artificially locked, and Father Dirk had to manually operate it in order to prevent this magic from harming others, resulting in the Silver Mirror getting out of control.
But when Carlo turned around and shouted, behind her, countless sharp claws pulled at her clothes, pulling and breaking the waiter's clothes on her body, revealing the tight bandages inside, the claws pierced deep into her white skin, and blood flowed down, but because Carlo had a good recovery ability, the flesh recovered while making the claws seem to be embedded in her own body, and at the same time there was a sharp pain.
Her traits have side effects, although it is difficult to die, the pain when she recovers will increase more than tenfold, and this recovery is uncontrollable, sometimes a small injury can make her hurt half to death, let alone the pain like now.
The Prince of Lausanne turned his head and looked at her painful but silent appearance, the large swath of her beautiful body was soaked in blood, but she always gritted her teeth and insisted, I don't know why, the Prince of Lausanne seemed to have stopped beating at this moment.
He turned around, and the blood-stained lion's head opened its mouth and let out a roar, which sent out bursts of golden light and landed on Caro's body, shattering the claws pierced into it with precision but not hurting Carlo at all.
Then the prince of Lausanne rushed back, punched the worm that was still trying to pounce on it, and after killing it, he folded the corpse with brute force and blocked it in the doorway.
"Come here, plug it with your body!"
At the behest of the Prince of Lausanne, Roger gritted his teeth and pressed his body against the stinking corpse, using it as a wall to separate the inside and the outside.
Prince Lausanne hugged the pale Carlo, her clothes were disheveled, due to the cracking of the bandage, she showed a large area of whiteness, Prince Lausanne reached out and wrapped the clothes he had just taken off to wrap her, Carlo subconsciously wanted to push Lausanne away, Lausanne noticed her rapidly recovering body, and quickly looked away after being slightly stunned.
He just said,
"It hurts, doesn't it?"
This simple sentence made Carlo slightly stunned, and a sense of grievance instantly burst out of his heart, as if another person finally understood after so many years of torture...
However, she knew that this was just an illusion, and although she pursed her lips and said nothing, she no longer refused to allow Lausanne to dress herself.
After waiting for the prince of Lausanne to drape Carlo's clothes, Carlo struggled out of his embrace, picked up the dagger next to him, and then said a not-so-obvious thanks,
"Thank you..."
Prince Lausanne smiled slightly, taking the body fragrance from her body to the bottom of his heart, he turned his head to look at Father Dirk, who was still lying on the ground and chanting incantations, and as he pronounced the incantations, the strange silver mirror finally fell silent again.
"Mother God bless, Mother God bless, I will never blaspheme you with a musket again..."
Fortunately, there were no serious consequences.
But why did he run to the back and come to help the front door, but no monsters poured in?
Just when he was puzzled, Roger, who was facing the "monster gate", looked at the main gate and shouted,
"It's Fisher, them! He came down with his students, and the monsters ran to them! They're over there in the bathroom! ”
It turned out that all the monsters at the main gate were attracted by Fisher who came down from the upper floor, and there were a large number of monsters over there, and the prince of Lausanne and Carlo were barely able to parry the door before, but now the two of them have to face so many outside, which is estimated to be very dangerous.
Lausanne raised the lion fist in his hand and ran outside,
"I'll help them, Carolina, you protect the people here!"
