Chapter 63: Gathering
Dazzling flashes and violent air currents exploded together next to the empty art building, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. Curt, who had sent Oscar back to his dormitory, noticed this strange glow and rushed to the scene, the area around the art building had been cordoned off by the academy guards.
This road is the only way to the Yinyao Tower, and such a commotion soon attracts many people who come to see the excitement. It was as if they had come across a once-in-a-few carnival, watching the mess and whispering to their companions with curious smiles on their faces.
Among the apprentices in different costumes, there is a rather harmonious color.
Dozens of apprentices, dressed in uniform and with pockets behind them, gathered around the scene. It appears that they were on their way to astronomy class, so while most of the apprentices stood on tiptoe to look at the scene, only the students stood a little farther away with their binoculars in their hands.
The crowd was dense, but Curt caught a familiar atmosphere in the crowd. He slowly walked into the shadows that the crowd hadn't noticed, and said into the air as if talking to himself, "It's rare, how long do you think it's been since I've seen you move in such a form?"
Perhaps in response to what he said, Curt felt the temperature around him suddenly drop a lot. The hot and dry air of the summer night suddenly turned cold, and even the leaves of the grass that had survived the explosion were covered with a thin layer of frost at his feet, and he shivered as he bowed down.
"It's been a while because it's not necessary. Liqi's somewhat tired voice sounded in Curt's head, "I now understand what it means to 'use in and out', I accidentally adjusted the output of the Rubik's Cube's power too much at one time, and the mana consumption was a little excessive." ”
The center of the cold was approaching, and the frost-covered grass at Curt's feet was already covered in white and curled up. Although he couldn't see Lizzie in his soul form, Curt still clearly felt that there was a cold human form beside him.
The tiredness she spoke of this time was no joke, and Curt could tell that the voice she was coming from the soul connection looked weak. The spell that didn't control the strength just now made her lose her excess mana, and there was no way to restore it to normal for a while.
The magic of human beings is basically preserved within zài**, and the soul after breaking away from ** will only retain the magic used to compose the body form because it has lost its container. Using large-scale spells in the form of a soul is literally cutting the soul.
"Actually, you don't have to do this, do you?" The expression on Curt's face changed slightly, but this expression was as difficult to see as fleeting ripples, "Occasionally you have to pay attention to the health of your body, if you are too keen to investigate, you will lose more than you gain if you forget to damage your body." ”
Slashing souls to unleash spells will harm the essence of the soul. Such damage is not irreparable, but some of the damage to the soul will be indirectly projected onto the body, and the body's functions will also be affected to a certain extent. The scale of the spells released by Lizzie is large, and the corresponding damage is not small.
Yawned, and Liqi's voice was tired, but she obviously didn't pay attention to it: "You don't need to worry about hurting your body or anything, the magic I consumed just now is completely within the range of deliberate acceptance." I know what I can do now, and you don't need to worry too much. ”
"Okay, well, if that's your will......" Curt's eyes fell on the noisy crowd of onlookers, and he took her words and said, "Then can you tell me what kind of thing happened to make you release the spell you just now in the soul state?"
"Of course, but until then......"
Curt suddenly felt as if his lips had touched something cold. The thing seeped from him into his mouth and then melted on his tongue. After a while, the magic in Zài's body flowed like water through the cold area of Guò's mouth to somewhere outside his body.
"Lend me a little magic and let me replenish it. There is no problem with the remaining mana sustaining activities now, but it is not enough to directly convey the memories to you through guò connection. ”
The cold sensation continued to extend deeper, starting from the lips and slowly spreading through Curt's body. As soon as the mana scattered in the body was touched by this chill, it was immediately condensed into a high-concentration mana flow, and then it was directly extracted by Liqi and transformed into its own nutrients.
He half-jokingly muttered, "Hey, are you trying to drain me?"
The degree to which Lizzie pulled out her magic was exaggerated, but in just a few seconds, more than half of the magic power in Curt's body was withdrawn. It was as if he had just fought a big battle, and he felt a deep tiredness from the bottom of his heart. The dizziness caused by the loss of a large amount of mana in a short period of time made him almost unsteady on his feet.
"I'm sorry, I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time, and I twitched my head when I didn't pay attention......"
Lizzie apologized honestly and pulled back the "cold" that had been stabbed into Curt's body. However, instead of returning the magic that had been extracted from Curt's body, she sent everything she had seen after her soul left her body not long ago as a "return gift" to Curt's mind.
"Why is there all this stuff in the academy?"
The flickering fragments of memory in the academy enveloped the large illusionary building of the Art Building...... These are nothing more than traces left by the deposition of the history of the Academy. But the strange spirits who use the buildings of illusion as their nests are not supposed to be in these areas.
There are usually two causes of the undead.
One is that the idea of "not wanting to face death" is too large before death, and the creature crosses the line of death and uses its own power to exist between life and death, and the other is that it is catalyzed by external forces, such as corresponding spells, so that the creature transforms into a dead living thing.
However, these two types of immortals should not be stored in the academy, and the academy does not have the soil to cultivate these existences. Moreover, these souls who were chasing after Lizzie were undoubtedly very aggressive, and it was impossible for the Academy to allow such a dangerous thing to remain in a place where Zài often passed by.
"How could I possibly know why those things were in such a place. Lizzie said angrily, "Those souls have obvious symptoms of evil spirits, and they will chase and beat people when they see them." Lizzie began to speak to Curt about her thoughts, "But the transformation process is not quite natural. They were brutally killed while they were alive, and then made into their current form by special means. ”
"It's also strange that I don't think all of these strange souls were born in this land. Either they gathered around the building on their own, or someone brought them here and tied them around the building. ”
Either way, the building is quite suspicious.
"To be honest, I didn't expect to come across anything like this. Sighing, she muttered, "Before I went there, I looked at the memory fragment table and it was just an ordinary school building, but I didn't expect it to be a fortress. Forget about the fortress, there are still so many guards waiting for me in ambush. As soon as you get in, you're chased by those guys, which is too much. ”
Curt could see from the memories provided by Lizzie that the "fortress" had fallen apart under the bombardment of spells from the large Rubik's Cube array she had just assembled. The fragments of memories that continued to unfold the images, the dark crumbs that formed the walls, and the souls that served as guards were all shattered to pieces by the massive torrent of light created by the explosion. All that's left there now is a framework that's still crumbling.
"Even though this is a fortress, you have blown most of it into the sky with a 'bomb'. Curt felt amused, the Rubik's cube prepared by Lizzie was probably only intended to blow away those desperate enemies, but because he didn't control the amount of mana filling, he was involved in the fragments that made up the afterimage, "I have to say, your big explosion is really exaggerated." ”
Judging from the effect of the Rubik's cube carved by Lizzie before the explosion, Curt could tell that the spell she was using was the basic spell "Flare" used to attack spirits. However, allowing a "flare" that can only attack spirits to burst into a blast that blows away actual objects, the magic power that Lizzie fills in those Rubik's cubes cannot be explained by "I didn't control the strength well, and the output is a little more".
Lizzie didn't take Curt's teasing to heart, and smiled lightly and said, "Originally, I just slightly improved the design and added the effect of absorbing the magic around me. It's just that I didn't expect the effect to be so exaggerated, it seems that the magic of those fragments is too much. ”
The result of this exaggerated effect is a burst of light that illuminates half of the sky. People in the neighborhood were immediately attracted by the unusual phenomenon. People in the distance have also become interested in this place because of the unusual gathering of the crowd, and are slowly approaching here.
Next to such a crowded art building, the academy guards in iron-blue uniforms and the teachers who arrived gathered in a circle. They exchanged words in low voices, and the atmosphere became a little sinister. It seemed that they didn't pay much attention to the apprentices around them, and just kept them at a certain distance from the scene.
Slowly walking to the shade of a tree at a certain distance from the crowd, Curt put on a good smile on his face: "It's really lively, I don't think it will be long before that Cruise François will be attracted to him, I don't know what that guy will do with this matter then." ”
"It's best that the guy who has never been seen is drawn to this commotion, I haven't seen him look like yet. As if thinking of the same thing as Curt, Lizzie snickered, "There's such a large evil spirit lair in the academy, I don't think he didn't know about it. ”
The commotion continued, and the sound of vehicles moving in the distance could be heard, and more people were approaching.
