Outside the laboratory was a deep passageway, and the sound of running footsteps could be heard from both sides. The explosion had weakened the structure, and dust was falling from the ceiling overhead. The cracks in the walls are still slowly expanding, and it is believed that a large area will soon collapse here.

Siegel used the Four-Vein Divine Arrow on the gap in the wall, then grabbed a stone from the ground and stuffed it into the crack in the wall to cover it up briefly. He then used the object locator technique to locate the equipment he had taken. Before the cultists of the God of Murder arrived, he had cast an invisibility spell and disappeared from the scene.

Many people ran in the direction of the lab, unaware of Siegel passing by. The mage deftly avoided the flailing arms and anxious mood, like an inconspicuous gust of wind. Then, another explosion came from the direction of the laboratory, and the power was not very large, but the subsequent continuous collapse was the real killer feature.

According to the guidance of the positioning technique, Siegel found the warehouse by the shortest route. Their own things have not yet entered the storeroom, but are just stacked in the next room, waiting for the appraisal of the craftsman. Although the most valuable things, such as the Defensive Staff and Star Dust, were not searched in the key space, they were now held in their hands. But the rest of the stuff doesn't have to be the spoils of murder.

And Siegel didn't think of using his belongings to find the treasure room of the Temple of Murder. If you want to take it first, you can say that this is the truth.

The warehouse has a heavily defended and warning circle, but the appraisal room next door does not. A gelatinous warrior stood guard in the doorway, his translucent eyes staring at the empty passage beneath his armor. Suddenly, a dagger appeared out of thin air and stabbed between the eyes. The gelatinous warrior saw only that it was a black dagger, and then he was unconscious again.

Siegel emerged from invisibility and looked around. It's likely that there will be people passing by. It's not good if you don't have a guard. So he performed a spider web spell and carefully controlled the range, gluing the gelatinous warrior to the wall behind him. Siegel adjusted his posture for him, using magic tricks to change the scent around him and mask the stench that might be emitting. It only takes ten minutes for the gelatinous monster to turn to stone. Firmly supporting the iron armor outside, no one can see the clues.

Siegel pushed the door with his defensive staff, and with the help of a spell, the lock opened automatically, and he slipped into the identification room.

First of all, put all your things back on, after all, it's too wild to cover your body naked with only illusions.

There aren't any magical enchantments in the laboratory, so I don't know why. If it was Siegel, it would be the most defended place, because no one knew what kind of risk an unknown item would pose. I simply looked at it with detection magic. There are no items with strong magical fluctuations here, so the dozens of items on the shelves are probably not worth much. Siegel didn't care about them first, but used the teleportation array ability of the Elven Sage to transmit his phantom to the Heim Realm.

Alfred, the butler, was dozing off in the steward's room, and the sound of a soft snoring was clearly transmitted through the teleportation spell. It was rare to see him in a pleated garment with a messy stubble on his face. It is estimated that he never left this room from the moment he received the message of the start of the operation.

"Ed, wake up. You'll have to tell me how everything went. ”

The steward jerked up from his chair as if he had been clicked, and he couldn't hide his excitement when he saw Siegel. "Your Excellency. It's great that you're okay. All your orders are being carried out according to the plan, and the Heim Collar and the Elven Forest are in action. However, the mages of the Federation, as you might expect, are reluctant to act with the elves. ”

"It's okay, the elves are the initiators of this mission, let them charge ahead. As long as the Federation doesn't clash with the elves. Siegel fears that if the federation develops, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not seek revenge on the elves. That would cause a lot of trouble for Heim Collar. So take advantage of the fact that he can still control the situation now to let the two meet, ease their emotions, and at least establish a mode of communication. The conflict is not terrible, but the conflict without a negotiating channel will only expand, and that will not benefit his territory.

"Manna and Hum lead the Janissaries of the realm into action. All are equipped with the latest plasma bolts. Several of the Federation's mages are willing to help us with spells, and by the way, test out the newly made spell weapons. ”

"What spell weapon?" Siegel was forever curious about this.

"Using the Myr's Core, Mage Wilwood has created a long-lasting portal that can stay open forever, currently for fifteen minutes at a time, and then burn out some device - I can't remember the strange name. He said that this was much safer than using the combined spell method to teleport in groups, so he would use this thing to drop troops. So, my lord, this time there will be a thousand Heim Leader soldiers and 1,500 elven warriors to support you, instead of the original plan of an elite army of a few dozen people. ”

Siegel coughed violently, visibly choking on the news. The portal spell that can stabilize can only be controlled by the archmage, and the places that the teleportation can reach can be connected to each other, which can be described as magical. For example, a mage of Reese's level can only open a narrow spatial rift, which is very troublesome for summons to pass through.

He thought about it, the long-lasting portal should not be able to communicate with the other world, and could only be used in the main material plane (mortal world), with limited functions. But in any case, this is a huge step forward.

"Is the army leaving?" asked Siegel.

"Yes, the elven troops are in front, and our Heim troops are behind, and they have already passed through the teleportation array. Alfred replied, "However, there is a situation where they have sent back a message that there is no one at the target location, and there is no swordsmanship leader in our Secret City. ”

Siegel frowned. He summoned Evan to open the teleportation beacon so that the Federation's mages could teleport and locate it. The search for Janet is important, but essentially the task is to work with the elves to investigate the stronghold of the god of murder. As for what to do with the stronghold, whether it is going to attack or not depends on the meaning of the elves. Heim's army will only do some auxiliary work, and will definitely not be the main force.

Are those five men going to infiltrate this stronghold to save me? Siegel began to worry as soon as the thought came to him.

"Is there anything else I need to know, Eddard?"

"The elves are scheduled to attack at dawn, now ......" he turned his head to look at the sky, then said, "Now it's time to attack." ”

"Okay, I got it. Seeing that nothing else was going on, Siegel ended the call.

It's time to show off. Siegel summoned the Invisible Servant and handed it the Space Bag to scavenge the room for magical items. As for the warehouse next door, it is believed that a large earth elemental rune guard will be able to penetrate the wall.

The God of Murder doesn't have many powerful caster subordinates, so the defensive formations cast on the warehouse have many holes. It's okay to guard against the little thief, but it doesn't mean anything to a master of magic circles like Siegel.

Since Yao En and the others may have infiltrated this stronghold, then finding them is currently the first place. Another important thing to do is to find the teleportation array of this stronghold and keep it intact so that you can find out where it leads. This must be done before the Sage of the God of Murder deems the stronghold undefendable, otherwise he and may destroy the teleportation circle when he leaves.

Loud footsteps were heard in the corridor outside, and the servants of the god of murder rushed to say, "Open the storehouse, go get your weapons, the elves are coming!"

Someone was chanting the secret words to open the warehouse, and Siegel could feel the magic ripples around him, like a breeze sweeping across the lake, rippling shallowly. He chuckled softly, it was time for these people to see what a tsunami was like.

He hovered the defensive staff around him, so he could free his hands. He closed his eyes, raised his head, and raised his hands in the air. In this underground, there is the power of the earth elemental all around, and not far above the head, there is a raging sea water, which is an endless treasure trove of water elements. In this environment, it is most convenient to use the power of these two elements.

A priest of the god of murder thought of the appraisal room next to the warehouse, and thought that there was still a lot of magical equipment on the shelves here, so he pushed the door in and took it. He saw empty shelves, a large earth elemental that was making holes in the side wall, and a human mage with black hair and black eyes standing in the middle of the room.

"Who are you!" said the priest only three words, and then he sensed that something was wrong. The surrounding air was filled with viscous elemental power, and everywhere there was a mixture of earth and water elements, like a swamp, like quicksand. His voice became muffled and could not be heard far before it was indistinct. Only the voice of the young mage on the other side could be transmitted clearly and brightly.

Siegel's lips moved, every syllable very precise and clear, but everyone but him could understand it. There is the arrogance of dragon language, the lightness of elven language, and the heaviness of dwarven language, but in the end, they all come down to the inclusiveness of lingua franca. He repeated the same words over and over again, but each time the tone was different, and the voice grew heavier and louder, and the tempo became faster and faster.

The priest raised his finger and chanted the holy name of the god of murder, summoning the invisible force. He uses the flying hammer of faith to knock down the invaders in front of him. The black hammer, with the skull of the God of Murder on it, flew towards Siegel's forehead with a tooth-souring whistling.

Siegel opened his eyes, and all sounds suddenly disappeared, leaving silence all around. The transition from noise to silence is uncomfortable, and the ears are buzzing.

The Staff of Defense automatically moved in front of Siegel, blocking the Hammer of Faith.

"Don't worry, you'll see it right away," Siegel said. (To be continued.) )
