Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 96 The Enemy Meets
Some time ago, Anne used that leaflet to get to the prison gate in White Peak.
At this time, of course, she couldn't directly break in to investigate, so she decided to use her magic perception to detect Irina's existence.
However, she suddenly remembered that the black walls around her could block the traces of magical power, and sure enough, in the end, she found nothing.
She had to praise Irene for her skill so clever that no one could spot her.
As for the Gathering Spirit Grass, although it is huge in size and contains definitely not low magic power, this kind of grass is different from ordinary potion materials, it does not emit traces of magic power, even senior magicians may not be able to find it, so the Gathering Spirit Grass is a rare thing.
This may have evolved an ability to protect itself, otherwise it would have been over-picked by humans and would have become extinct.
From this point, you can see how attractive this Gathering Spirit Grass is, if it weren't for Anne's lack of need for this thing at all, maybe she would have rushed to come, although she knew in her heart that it was probably a lie, but it didn't hurt to confirm it, what if it was true?
She guessed that the deceived magicians must have been motivated by this mentality.
Since she can't break into the prison directly, she has to find other entrances, and Anne knows that Baifeng Town has a drainage system, that is, sewers.
She had previously learned through Arena's consciousness teleportation that the Spirit Gathering Grass was located in a damp space underground, so it was likely to be accessible through the sewers.
She then ran out into the streets of the aristocratic district and looked around, and in order to hide her eyes, she had to find a manhole cover in the middle of nowhere.
After a few minutes, she finally found a suitable one, a small alley between the two mansions, where a sewer entrance was set up because the terrain was lower than the others.
Immediately after, she found some strange traces in the alley, there was actually a large pool of blood on the ground, such a large amount of blood, the injured person must have died.
However, she didn't bother with those things, and now she had only one goal, and that was to find and kill Irena instead.
She used her wand to pry open the manhole cover, then used a piece of paper to release a teleportation spell that entered the sewer more than ten meters above the ground.
Perhaps far away from the black wall, she could detect traces of magic here, so she followed the source of the magic.
Soon, she came to a fork in the road, and there were three passages in front of her, all of which looked similar.
Luckily, she had a strong sense of direction, and it only took a little thought to settle down, and the direction of the passage in the middle was the same as the direction of the prison.
After more than an hour, she came to the depths of the passage, there was indeed a cave here, not to mention such a large waterfall, there was actually a mansion with a faint light at the top, and the stairs on the inner wall of the abyss should lead there.
Now she was pretty sure that Irena was in the mansion.
However, as soon as she stepped on the stairs, she almost slipped there, and the thought of the abyss next to her made her sweat cold.
This was not a bother for her, and immediately afterward, she summoned Fenrir, an elemental creation, and then planned to have it crawl to the door of the mansion with a small piece of paper in her mouth, so that she could teleport herself.
However, as soon as Fenrir came out, he stared at the mansion above his head, and his gray eyes showed obvious fear.
"What's wrong? Fenrir. Anne wondered.
At this time, Fenrir seemed to be frightened, staring at it as if he was on it, prostrate on the ground, and his tail curled up.
"Oh, what the hell did you do, aren't you usually brave?" Anne couldn't help but complain, "Well, forget it, you still want me to come in person." ”
She then threw the piece of paper up the stairs in front of her, using teleportation magic if it was in the right place, or else throwing it again, which she had anyway.
In this way, she doesn't need to step on the stairs at all, and naturally she won't slip.
In this way, it took her half an hour to climb hundreds of steps, and then she finally reached the door of the mansion.
I saw that this mansion was huge, similar to the central building of a noble manor, five stories high, and the whole building was emitting a faint light.
When Anne got closer, she realized how amazing the mansion was, it was actually suspended in the air, and she double-checked that there was a support at the bottom, and the final result was negative.
With her magical perception, she could instantly understand that it was levitated with the power of magic.
At this time, the door and windows of the mansion were closed, and she stepped forward and pushed hard, but she didn't push, and it seemed that she couldn't get in for the time being.
She looked around again, and saw that there was still space above the mansion, and that the long staircase just now did not lead to the mansion, but to the top.
She recalled Irina's words, the other party just wanted her to find it, and it was impossible for her to come here and not let her in, so it was probably not this mansion.
She decided to continue digging down the stairs, and if she didn't find anything, she could come back and figure out what to do.
However, as soon as she turned around and was about to throw a small piece of paper at the top of the stairs, there was a sudden chilling sensation behind her.
She immediately looked at the mansion, only to see that dozens of hands were sticking out of the door, and they were coming at her, and they were obviously human, but they were extremely pale.
I don't know what's going on, but I always feel like something bad will happen if I get caught by those hands.
So, Anne hurriedly cast the teleportation magic and moved herself to the stairs above the mansion, but the strange hands did not give up and continued to reach for her.
She had to keep moving to the top until she finally reached the top of the abyss, and the strange hands did not stop.
It is also the source of the waterfall, with a large amount of water flowing out from a deeper part of the horizontal direction, forming a wide river that then joins into the bottom of the abyss.
In order to find out, she decided to go deeper, which was similar to the cave she had encountered after crossing the sewers, except that it was very wide, and the further she went, the narrower the passage became.
In a short time, she arrived at a familiar passage, because this place, like the sewers in Baifeng Town, was made of bricks, that is, the sewers here also led to the abyss.
She thought about it carefully, when she first entered the sewer, that place was more than ten meters deep from the ground, and after she entered the abyss, she climbed up the stairs for so long, the vertical height should be dozens of meters.
"Could it be that where Erina is is on a high place?"
She couldn't help but think of this possibility, perhaps she had misunderstood it in the first place, and the leaflet was not marked underground, but high places.
The only thing in Baifeng Town that is dozens of meters above the ground is the mountain in the middle of the town, which means that she is now in the interior of Baishan Mountain.
Thinking of this, she was relieved, after all, the mansion just now was too weird, and she didn't want to go back.
Although she is not afraid of this strange and chaotic thing, who knows what danger is hidden in it, and for the sake of insurance, it is better not to touch what she does not know, which is the most basic rule of being a magician.
There was a place for walking at the edge of the sewer, and Anne walked on it, and the sound of running water was beside her.
Looking at the water, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, since so much water was flowing from the drainage system, and even formed a waterfall, it must have rained outside for a long time.
It was on top of a mountain, and if she remembered correctly, it was a clear sky outside, and even the castle on the top of the hill could not have stagnant water, so where did the water come from?
"It's weird."
Anne muttered, quickening her pace, wanting to see what was going on.
After a few more minutes, she came to a space where the sewers ended, presumably Leonard's castle.
However, the water does not flow down from above, but from a mysterious object in this space.
It looked like a small fountain, identical to the stone fountain in the town square of White Peaks, from which a steady stream of water flowed and then formed a large waterfall as it approached the abyss.
Anne could feel that the small fountain was emitting strong traces of magic, and she could probably guess who had placed it here.
There was a platform above the fountain, and Anne climbed straight onto it, and a tall bronze door appeared in front of her.
There was no doubt that this was the door she had seen through the consciousness teleportation before, and it seemed that this was the place where Irena had brought her, but I didn't expect it to be under the castle at the top of the hill.
However, Leonard has a lot of magicians under him, won't they find out? Even the presence of a black wall would not affect this place, after all, this mountain peak is several hundred meters high.
Then, she went to the front of the gate and poured mana into the mana lock on it, her mana store was large enough to activate it at once.
Immediately afterward, the gate rumbled and went up.
In the room behind the door, a huge spirit gathering grass was growing, and a beam of light shot in through the gap above the room, just shining on the spirit gathering grass, and the flower bud on the top seemed to be about to open at this time.
It seems that this Gathering Spirit Grass is real, Anne can't help but be amazed, if it weren't for the fact that she wasn't interested in this thing, she might have dug up this Gathering Spirit Grass, even if she didn't use it, it would be good to sell it to others at a high price.
Then, she looked away and looked around.
"Hehe, you're really still the same, you're not interested in these things, but you're too boring, aren't you, what do you want to pursue?"
At this moment, Erina stepped out from behind the Spirit Gathering Grass.
"Don't come unharmed, Annie."
"Cut, whoever comes with you is fine, I am here to ask for your life today." Anne said viciously, then pulled out her wand.
"Oh, girl's family, don't do it without saying a word." Erina teased.
Immediately after, Anne smashed a large cloud of wind elementals over, and Erina had to take it seriously and quickly dodge.
However, Anne had already anticipated her actions and released a condensed wind elemental once more, and although Irina's body was quite nimble, the blow grazed her bare shoulder, causing a long wound.
"Shhh," Irene finally showed an impatient expression as she was wounded, "you damn girl, how dare you treat your senior sister like this." ”
"You have betrayed your master, and you still have the face to call yourself senior sister, I'm bah! you! ”
Anne said, striking again.
Now Irena was completely angry, she hadn't seen her for a few years, she still missed Anne a little, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even say a word of greeting when they met again.
She didn't want to see the tragedy that happened to her teacher, and in the end, she just took what she deserved, but was chased and killed by her own sister to such an extent.
Then, she used her magic to summon a massive object, the behemoth that helped her block the attack, and it was unscathed, only to stir up a cloud of dust.
A few seconds later, as the dust cleared, Anne appeared in front of a giant of clay, its massive fists striking her at breakneck speed.
