In Li Xiang's villa, the whole house is full of disorder. The leaves of the bonsai plants in the house have shriveled due to dehydration, as if this is a desert area. Not only these plants, but even the people in the house feel dry skin and tightness in the chest. Although it was a cold day in the depths of winter, the doors and windows were wide open, and even then the air in the house seemed to be emptied.

Kyle sat in the living room in a cold sweat, looking up at Li Xiang's bedroom on the second floor from time to time. On the couch next to him lay a drunken Hercules, a tough guy who has been drunk all day long since his friend Odyssey left.

"Why are you still lying so still?" asked Kyle.

Hercules bared his tongue and said, "What's the big deal?"

Kyle's eyes widened and he said, "What's the big deal?!You don't know what's going on with that thing upstairs?"

"Isn't it just a frustrated guy throwing a tantrum?" said Hercules indifferently.

Ignoring the huge difference in their physiques, Kyle jumped straight up, grabbed Hercules by the collar, pointed upstairs and roared, "Tantrums?!He's about to drain the free elements of the entire Oak community! Now that room is like an elemental bomb that can explode at any moment, maybe we'll be blown up into the sky in the next second!"

In Li Xiang's room, Catherine and Rosemary, two women who looked like sisters, sat obediently on the side, and it was rare that there was no fight. Li Xiang was in a trance, his hair was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was oily, and he hadn't slept for several days.

Ever since he had a falling out with Gondolin, he has come back to practice the basics of enchantment, the synthesis of the elements. In the past, he relied on his talent to synthesize second- and third-level elements very freely. This is also where Gongduoli criticized him the most.

If you are not convinced, Li Xiang also knows this shortcoming. If you ask yourself, he never seems to have taken these pediatric things seriously. Gondolin said that the third-level elements he synthesized had such and such deficiencies, which was actually polite. If it is described as building blocks, Li Xiang's synthesis of elements seems to be crooked and twisted so casually, building a small dilapidated house and pulling it down, while Gondolin is a serious building of the Khufu pyramid.

Li Xiang's hands kept flashing with various colors of light, and it was he who was synthesizing third-level elements. Compared with his previous practice, Li Xiang has now paid attention to the delicacy of the technique, but he is still very dissatisfied, and every time he looks at the end of the synthesis, he throws the synthesized third-level elements aside. When he was in Gondolin's laboratory, he had secretly observed the elements synthesized by Gondolin himself, and that fine energy was almost perverted.

He works so mechanically, constantly extracting the active elements around him, and after the active elements in the room are emptied, the outside elements are replenished. In this repeated cycle, not only the active elements in the villa are emptied, but also the active elements of the entire Oak community are also sucked clean. And those "failed works" that he ignored, the chaotic accumulation of contact and collision in the room, from time to time burst out of small lightning and sparks. Luckily, these were only uncontrolled elements, and if so many third-level elements were manipulated by a single mage, it would be a catastrophic spell.

Someone's knocking on the door.

"Who?!" Li Xiang spoke in a rushing voice, he didn't want others to disturb him now.

"It's me, you come out for a moment, I have something to tell you. "The man who spoke outside the door was Vulcan.

"Oh, wait a minute. ”

For Vulcan, Li Xiang still has a lot of respect. Not just because he crippled Volcan's arms, but his respect for Vulcan was entirely visceral. I think that he had a firm foothold in Huadu at the beginning, and he didn't have any friends around him except for Colin, a sworn friend. After explaining by chance with Vulcan, the two became close friends with a similar smell. Although the two get along with each other on weekdays, Li Xiang has always treated Vulcan as a respectable elder in his heart.

As soon as Li Xiang sat down on the sofa in the living room, Kyle pinched his nose, frowned, and said, "You haven't taken a shower for a few days?" ”

Li Xiang snorted angrily, glanced at the elf's little white face, and asked, "Do you want to eat?" Go back and ask the cook to scrape some 'cheese' from me to make you a seafood cheese baked rice." ”

Kyle not only cleans up like a dog, but is even more particular about eating. Li Xiang's words almost made him vomit with nausea, not to mention that Kyle is allergic to shrimp, even if his mouth is stained with a little shrimp skin, his whole face will be swollen like a pig's head.

"Stop bickering, get down to business first. Vulcan interjected, took control of the situation, and let the two quarrel is not a matter of a moment. "When I was learning the art of forging in the Dwarven Kingdom in my early years, I was taught by a notoriously foul temper. Even among the stubborn dwarves, he is famous. ”

Li Xiang was a little confused and asked, "And then?"

"And then—" he told me to smelt all three warehouses of black iron ore, and I worked for a week until they were almost cooked by the Pure Flame Furnace. Then my teacher said that the black iron I smelted was completely garbage, a glass block that tinkerers would not use—a complete scrap. ”

"Then can you bear it?" asked Li Xiang.

"To be fair, my smelting skills at that time were already better than many people among the humans in the Seven Yao Continent, so of course I couldn't bear it. Vulcan said.

"What did you do then?"

Vulcan said: "I chose to leave, thinking that it was enough to rely on my own talents, and that I did not need to be angry with the old fellow. ”

Li Xiang nodded and said, "Reasonable." Because after being criticized by Gondolin, he did the same.

"Later, I went to the blacksmiths of the other dwarves to take a sneak peek, and those guys were not much different from me. It's just that they have a dedication to forging, even the most basic ore smelting, and I am 108,000 miles behind at this point. At that time, I hadn't really taken anything seriously, after all, I was the only human who had qualified to enter the Dwarven Kingdom to learn blacksmithing for so many years. ”

Li Xiang nodded silently, he understood that Vulcan was persuading him not to be impetuous.

"Later, after thinking about it for a long time, I went back. My teacher's ability to become the best blacksmith in the world is inseparable from his spirit of excellence. I knew I lacked this spirit, and after putting aside my arrogance, I humbly studied with him for five years. At the time of parting, even the teacher praised me, saying that I would surpass him. But I knew that if I had gone away without the harsh teachings of my teacher, I would have been just an ordinary human blacksmith. So, if you have a teacher who can guide you, lower your stature and learn as much as you can from him. ”

"Wow! The little prince suddenly exclaimed, he was standing outside Li Xiang's room.

Li Xiang sensed that something was wrong, rushed upstairs, and found a catastrophic scene. The third-level elements he synthesized these days began to decompose on their own, and the third-level elements that filled the room produced a chain reaction, the lightning and thunder in the room were not spectacular, and there were flames coming out from time to time, and these spontaneously formed spells were constantly strengthening with the decomposition and recombination of the third-level elements.

Li Xiang had not rested for a few days, and he was groggy and groggy, but now he immediately woke up and shouted loudly: "Oh no! Everyone run!"

Colorful light bloomed from Li Xiang's room, and everyone in the villa rushed out of the door in embarrassment. Despite hating Hercules for being drunk all day, Kyle dragged him out.

Brilliant colors emerge from the villa and blend into the most colorful fireworks that dazzle everyone's eyes. The residents of the Oak community also noticed the change in Li Xiang's family and poked their heads out of the windows. The wonderful fireworks changed abruptly, forming a strange ball of light, which continued to expand outwards after engulfing the entire villa.

"Damn!" Kyle scolded and angrily spat Li Xiang. "It's going to cause trouble!" Then the elf's little white face formed a strange mark with his hands, and his mouth sang the language of the elves. The trees around the villa suddenly grew wildly, and countless thick vines sprang up on the ground, and these plants intertwined with each other, weaving into a huge net, enveloping the ball of light, but the ball of light continued to expand, devouring the plants.

Li Xiang was dumbfounded, he always thought that Kyle was a little white face who ate soft rice, but he didn't expect this product to hide such a hand. Thinking about his usual tearing up with Kyle, he couldn't help but be scared at this moment.

A layer of sweat broke out on Kyle's forehead, and he said to the Black Dragon Princess, "Don't just look at it, I can't hold it anymore." ”

Catherine closed her eyes and began to chant a long, obscure incantation, when the spell was finished, she opened her eyes, but the pupils were gone, and the eyes were no longer black, but a deep purple, and the "contact potion potion" given by Dante was ineffective.

The Black Dragon Princess's spell was completed, and the ball of light that was constantly devouring everything began to change, gradually changing its color to a single black, and then began to shrink, condense, and finally bombarded the ground.

Boom! Half of the city was trembling, and many people were terrified, thinking that there was an earthquake.

The original location of Li Xiang's villa is now only a terrifying pit. Around this deep pit, there are many strange vine stumps. Fortunately, no one was hurt. There was just one thing that made Li Xiang very uneasy, many people saw Catherine's purple eyes, which was an obvious feature of the Black Dragon Clan.
