……

"Who?"

Everyone in the Scourge Order looked at Hibbert sitting on the Digger's body with a wary expression.

The latter, however, seems to have taken these people into account.

His expression looked quite confused, and his mouth uttered a word of muttering, because it was very quiet around him, so every word Hibbert said clearly reached everyone's ears:

"What's going on? Why did the earth suddenly collapse? Is it because of the earthquake? Or is it because I've been eating too much and too heavy lately? ”

"What is this place? Why is it pitch black? And so many vicious guys? ”

"Hey, why did it die?"

Speaking of the last sentence.

Hibbert looked suspiciously at the digging insect beneath him, which had indeed quickly lost its life after falling to the ground.

What's more strange is.

The burrower didn't seem to have fallen to his death—

In fact, this thing has rough skin and thick flesh, and its vitality is very tenacious, and it is impossible for it to die like this.

Don't talk about Hibbert.

Mary Joy's eyes were full of suspicion.

Matthew next to her was also nervous.

Hibbert suddenly appears here, which Matthew doesn't want to see.

Now the other party has not noticed himself.

But what if he recognizes himself and greets him?

Where does Matthew go from here?

The thought of these questions makes his head big.

Even if Hibbert never notices himself, the anomalous events caused by the Diggers are bound to arouse Mary Joa's suspicions.

In case the other party suspects himself or Zangura because of this, it will be a little crooked.

All in all.

Matthew smelled danger.

But his thinking also changed quickly-

At least they have infiltrated and found the secret stronghold of the Scourge Cult near the Watcher Heights, and this undercover operation can be regarded as a guaranteed gain.

It's really not good, and if you fall out, you won't lose.

At least we can tear down this stronghold.

Think of it.

Matthew quickly prepared to turn his face, and he took the moment to glance at Zangura, who was still hiding most of his face in the shadows, unable to see what the other party was planning.

"Hey! What do you ask? Who are you? ”

A Scourge tentacle stepped forward.

He raised a crossbow and aimed it at Hibbert and asked him sharply.

However, Hibbert ignored him.

The former bent down and diligently inspected the death of the digging worm, but seeing that he gently disliked a scale on the head of the digging worm, he seemed to say to himself:

"This digging worm is weird, it smells of magic and ash, what did you use to raise it?"

He seemed to be asking the people of the Scourge Order.

Everyone looked at each other.

Everyone looked at Mary Joy.

Mary Joya snorted coldly:

"Where did you come from, madman, nonsense."

"Arrest him!"

Hear this.

Hibbert looked a little anxious, and he hurriedly stood up and said to Mary Joya and the others:

"Don't arrest me, I'm just a passerby, I was sitting on the ground and suddenly the ground collapsed, and then I came here, and I was a victim."

However, the Scourge would not reason with him.

This happened so unusually.

The initiator of the incident, the Digger, has died violently, so Hibbert, who can still speak, must be the target of Mary Joy's control.

Matthew settled down and prepared to secretly help Hibbert.

Right now.

The tentacles of a warrior class leapfrogged over the crowd and daringly ran towards Hibbert.

As he ran, he pulled an axe from his belt.

His posture is vigorous and his movements are swift, giving people the feeling of a fierce beast running!

"Don't come here!"

Hibbert said anxiously:

"I don't want to hurt anyone, even if they look like a bunch of bad guys."

"Shut up, little white face!"

The warrior leaped high and pounced on Hibbert with a fierce expression.

In addition, two Scourge cultists were also wrapped up on both sides.

They approached quickly and flanked Hibbert from three angles.

between the electric light and flint.

A soft sigh rang out.

Matthew's spell was about to be thrown when an extremely bright light lit up on Hibbert.

Suddenly.

The entire dimly lit underground space is illuminated as long as day!

Hibbert's robes swayed gently like a breeze.

Followed by.

The swaying motion is gone.

A large sphere appeared around him, and the space within the sphere seemed to have changed somehow.

Everyone was amazed to see—

The warrior who jumped high suddenly paused in mid-air, his body no longer falling, and his expression stayed at that moment;

The same is true for the Scourge cultists who come from the other two angles.

The three of them were completely stuck.

And that's not all.

All time inside the orb seemed to stand still.

Only Hibbert himself is transcendent.

……

"Hint: Your companion Hibbert used the Time Stand Still spell.

Time Stand Still: One of the most difficult spell puzzles in the world of Transfiguration to bring a specific area or target into a time standstill through different mediums or forms.

In a time standstill.

You can steal, move, push, humiliate, or perform non-injurious or minor actions on a stationary target.

Once you do more than a minor damage on the target, the opponent will be revived from that state and will be immune to Time Stand still spells for half an hour.

Knowledge (Realm of Transfiguration): Hibbert's spell is specifically "Hibbert's Ball (Self-Created Spell)", and in the sphere enveloped by the ball, time is in a sense almost static, and the closer you get to the center of the ball, the more serious the degree of time stillness becomes, but it is by no means completely still."

……

A true genius.

Matthew secretly dispelled the spells he had prepared, and it was no wonder that the Silver Council was only worried about whether Hibbert would be able to complete the mission, not whether Hibbert would be in danger during the mission.

Just this one hand.

That's enough for Hibbert to roam the continent of Ayndor to his heart's content!

The spells in the Time Stand still set are very difficult to learn, and they're just as talented as the spells in the Prophecy series.

It is estimated that there are not many people in the entire alliance who can do the time standing still in small areas like Hibbert.

Including the Seven Saints.

Matthew was relieved, and he suddenly wondered how this was going to end.

For the Scourge Order, a mage who has gone his own way suddenly came to his secret stronghold, and he also time-stopped a considerable part of the area, which is completely invading the territory in person!

If you can bear it.

I'm afraid that the face of the top leaders of the Heavenly Calamity Cult in front of the low-level sect members will be completely wiped off.

Sure enough.

But seeing Mary Joya roaring angrily:

"Get rid of this spell for me!"

This stronghold should be the strongest one of the Scourge Order, and among the dozen or so backbone tentacles, there are actually two mages!

The two men walked out.

One of them:

"It's useless to use spells to offset now, it's a very rare time still spell, even the Seven Holy Alliance's few mages can do this, I suspect there is something wrong with this person......"

Mary Joya said with a dark face:

"I don't want to know if there's anything wrong with him, I just want to know if you guys can fix this damn ball!"

The two looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.

Mary Joya looked at Matthew again.

The latter shrugged:

"I'm a necromancer, you don't think I'll have a way, do you?"

Mary Joya turned her head away with a straight face.

After a while.

The two men seemed to have come to an end, and the older mage said:

"We can try to set up an anti-magic enchantment that will directly cancel out all the magic in this area, but this will affect the ...... of ash extraction in the square."

Mary Joya waved her hand irritably:

"At all costs, remove this ball of light for me, I will take down this mage and torture it!"

The two men immediately went to prepare.

Speaking of which, these two mages should be considered first-class talents, and it only took about 5 minutes for them to arrange a circle of anti-magic enchantments around them.

A moment later.

One of the mages activated the enchantment.

Suddenly.

A power that Matthew felt suppressed bloomed in this space.

Followed by.

The ball of light slammed away, and all the light scattered into fragments and fell to the ground, forming patches of rather bright starlight.

"Success?"

Mary Joy's face was beaming.

At this time, the two mages also turned their heads with a smile.

One of them:

"The anti-magic realm is arranged, and that mage can't escape!"

And the other person said seriously:

"We can try to lay out an anti-magic enchantment ......"

Between words.

Behind the two of them lit up a bright yellow glow.

Hibbert's orb returned to its original shape, and everyone looked in amazement at Hibbert, who was busy on the corpse of the Digger Worm, and then at the warrior who was suspended in mid-air and the other two Scourge cultists.

Time seems to go back a few minutes.

And when the older mage had said that, he hurriedly set it up on the ground.

"What's going on with you guys?"

Someone tried to hold them back.

But as soon as he got close to the two mages, his body froze in place!

The two mages seemed to have no idea what was going on outside, and were still concentrating on preparing the materials for the anti-magic enchantment, and after 5 minutes, everything was ready, and one of the mages activated the anti-magic enchantment.

Hibbert's ball disappears.

Then it reappeared.

The older mage smiled at Mary Joy:

"We can try ......"

Look at this scene.

Everyone couldn't help but feel creepy.

"Stand back!"

Mary Joya reacted:

"The anomalous time realm is spreading outward, damn it, stay away from that mage!"

"The two of them went into a time loop!"

The rest are not fools either.

Although they lack knowledge of the spells of the Time Stand Still series, this strange scene in front of them is enough to dissuade most people.

So everyone retreated, leaving at least 50 meters of buffer zone.

Everyone silently stared at Hibbert, who was jumping up and down on the corpse of the digging worm, their eyes full of fear.

No one knows what to do with this ball of light, and may have to wait for it to disappear on its own.

Even more embarrassing.

Although this stronghold is quite spacious, it is now occupied by Hibbert and his ball of light, and the rest can only be said to be in the other half of the space, which suddenly seems a little cramped.

"Such a terrible spell will definitely not last long, you few stay here and keep an eye on him, if there is any change, report to me immediately, I will go and ask for the will of my lord!"

Mary Joya commanded.

The Scourge cultists responded.

Matthew also remained on the front line, responsible for observing Hibbert's every move.

He was speechless.

This guy is actually studying the corpse of that digging worm!

"Mentor, is there really no way for you to solve this ball of light?"

Before leaving.

Mary Joya came to Matthew again, looking a little unwilling.

Matthew quickly realized that asking for God's will would come at a price, even for a patriarch like Mary Joy.

He sighed, just about to explain.

But at this moment, a slender and lovely voice came from his shoulder:

"The time realm is the most difficult to decipher, and the mage who has mastered the time spell is the most terrifying, and even if he can solve his magic, he has other similar means that can drive you crazy."

"Even the gods have a reverence and awe for the power of time, for its strength and for its difficulty."

"But in all the great beings, there is one merciful creature of twilight who holds the authority of time, and that is the mad second hand."

A goblin snapped out of the space-time rift.

She said as she said hello to Matthew intimately.

Mary Joy's face was wary:

"What are you?"

"Why are you here?"

The goblin bowed to her very politely:

"My name is Little Stream, excuse me, can I take up a little of your time?"

"I want to talk to you about the mad second hand."

Hear this.

Mary Joya is a little crazy:

"You're going to spread the gospel of the mad second hand with a patriarch of the Scourge Order?"

The little stream suddenly looked embarrassed:

"Uh, can't you?"

"Sorry, I'm a newbie, so I don't really understand the rules here...... Isn't it okay at all? ”

Mary Joya looked at her with murderous eyes.

Matthew coughed lightly:

"I'm sorry, she's here for me."

said.

He took a step forward and whispered to Mary Joy:

"She's the servant of the crazy second hand, and the crazy second hand has been trying to woo me lately, but I'm not interested in these crazy guys."

"Even so, we don't need to fight the mad second hand for the time being, right?"

Mary Joya frowned.

In the past, she must kill this little goblin, this guy's behavior is simply blasphemy!

But now, there are too many accidents in the stronghold, and for Matthew's sake, she also has a clear prioritization.

"Take care of your elves!"

Mary Joya said sternly, and then said in a soft tone:

"You didn't choose the mad second hand is the right choice, the Scourge is a better place for you."

"Just one more question, did you not join them because it was crazy to dislike them?"

She looked at Matthew curiously.

Matthew shrugged:

"Oh no, I don't think they're crazy enough."

"In the name of madness, what he does is actually very ordinary."

Mary Joya was slightly stunned.

He shook his head with a wry smile and walked away.

"Get your elves out of here!"

Seeing Mary Joa's back disappear into the square, and in charge of guarding the place, a sorcerer named Doros viciously reprimanded Matthew.

He was Mary Joy's aide-de-camp, nominally the second in charge.

Doros was originally very displeased with Matthew and Zangura, but now that the stream has joined, if it weren't for Hibbert's ball of light still on the side, he would probably have to settle accounts with Matthew at this time.

"Be Mary Joa's dog, idiot!"

"Do you need me to make it clearer, it's not me who failed the mission, it's you, and you're not in charge of guarding that digging worm? If I were Lord Mary Joa, I would have skinned you first, so that everyone could see what would happen to you! ”

Matthew didn't give in the slightest.

He spewed at Doros, and the latter's eye sockets were about to burst, and the two sides almost fought.

But at the dissuasion of others.

The two still pretended to separate.

Matthew took the opportunity to lead the stream elsewhere.

On the other side of the Hibbert sphere of light, in the shadows of the square, it is deserted.

"I'm sorry, Little Stream, but as you can see, this is not the time to talk about the deeds of the mad second hand."

Facing the small stream of the eyes.

Matthew rejected her again without any psychological obstacles.

"I'm in the Scourge Order's stronghold right now, do you know what's behind the Scourge Order?"

Matthew moved again.

The stream nodded obediently:

"I know, behind the Scourge Cult is the Great Demon Trier, he is the doppelganger of the Midnight God, the Midnight God is the best one in the Tianlun Palace to support the forces in the human world, and recently this organization seems to have joined the God of Radiance and Knowledge, and there are some gods with weak divine power around them, making a lot of noise."

Matthew's expression changed slightly:

"You know the situation in Tianlun Palace very well?"

The stream shook its head:

"I just listen to the crazy second hand talk to himself a lot."

Matthew busily said:

"Then do you know what the god of midnight is?"

The stream pondered:

"It used to be a strong divine power, but then the gods gave up part of their power in order to avoid the disaster above the Tianlun Palace, and the god of midnight is too, but his situation seems to be a little special, Lord Madness Second Hand said that the current state of the god of midnight is between strong divine power and weak divine power, which may have something to do with his doppelganger Trier."

"In short, the gods of Tianlun Palace all respect him, at least at the same level as the God of Radiance and Knowledge, the Lord of Storm and the Sea, and the God of War."

Matthew asks again:

"Did the mad second hand say what the Midnight God wanted to do lately?"

The little stream said dumbfoundedly:

"No, Lord Crazy Second Hand doesn't look down on those gods in Tianlun Palace, he always says that they are a group of pigs, what the pigs want to do, let them do it, why care so much?"

Her tone was extremely arrogant, and her imitation was vivid.

That moment.

Matthew seemed to see the mad second hand himself standing in front of him and saying these words himself.

His heart tightened.

Realizing that this was a sign that he was about to be polluted by the mad second hand, he hurriedly said:

"Thank you for the information, I still have something to do, please come back."

"Say hello to Lord Loa on my behalf."

The little stream was unwilling to say:

"Then you must listen to me next time."

Matthew swears:

"Next time, definitely!"

The stream reluctantly left.

Watching the light on her body gradually dissipate, Matthew was also relieved.

He is not averse to communicating with the mad second hand right now.

Because he recently learned that the mad second hand is a special being formed by the god of luck, Loa, who devoured the creation of dusk.

There is certainly a difference between Him and ordinary twilight creatures.

Otherwise, with the penetration level of the Fairy Flower Pavilion in a crazy second, the goblins would have gone crazy collectively.

Now I can only say that I am sick, but it is not too serious.

It's just that the contact with the crazy second hand must be done with great caution.

Matthew had to find a way to prevent and stop the other party's invisible pollution.

Otherwise.

It's better to never be sure next time!

Send away the creek.

Matthew turned to leave.

But at this time.

A gust of wind swept over his shoulder, and Matthew looked back to see the stream resting on his shoulder again.

"Why are you back again?"

Matthew asked.

"Ahem, it's me."

Hibbert's voice came from the mouth of the leprechaun.

Matthew's expression changed instantly.

"What's the matter with you?"

He hurriedly asked.

"As you can see, this is a fairy transformation technique, and I'm ashamed to say that I have very few spells, but I have a little attainment in the field of transformation, so I can transform into various forms."

Hibbert explains:

"I saw that goblin was weird and good-looking just now, so I imitated it, what do you think?"

Matthew glanced at it:

"I really can't tell the difference."

Hibbert triumphantly said:

"My Transfiguration can indeed fool most people."

But soon his tone took on a hint of confusion:

"But I don't know why, there were still some deviations when I became a goblin, and this time the deviation was even greater......"

Matthew stared at him, but he didn't see any difference from the genuine stream, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Where is the deviation?"

Hibbert sighed:

"Normal leprechauns don't have reproductive organs."

Matthew squinted his eyes and looked at a specific area:

"Uh, you have it?"

Hibbert Says:

"Not only that, but two pairs."

"I don't understand what went wrong."

"The field of deformation is really vast, I feel that I have only mastered a little bit of the skin, many times the deformation will have such and such deviations, people are confused, I tried my best to think and couldn't get a standard answer, hey, Matthew, why don't you help me take a look?"

Matthew hurriedly stopped:

"Now is not the time to say this!"

"Why did you get here all of a sudden?"

Hibbert sullenly said:

"I don't know!"

"I just sat where I was, and then the ground collapsed, and here I was."

Matthew glanced back.

But inside the ball of light, Hibbert's figure was still diligently studying the digging worm, and the Scourge cultists were staring at him as if they were facing a great enemy, obviously not realizing that the real Hibbert had left the place where time stood still.

"And what did you find on that digging worm?"

Matthew asked.

Hibbert said:

"Obvious traces of transformation, artificially injected with ash power, but that's not the point, I found traces of alliance spells on the corpse."

"This digging worm was stimulated by a kind of magic in the natural realm during his lifetime, and then the ash power in his body overflowed excessively, which caused his instant death."

Magic in the realm of nature?

Matthew was slightly stunned.

Could it be that in this small secret stronghold, in addition to himself and Zangura, there are also undercover agents from the Druid Order?

"I also discovered a secret, there are many pools next to the square, and the pools contain carriers of ash power, and I guess these Scourge cultists intend to further modify the digging worm here."

"The lifespans of the Diggers transformed through this ritual will be very short, but they also have more explosive power, and the heads of these Diggers combined with the power of ash are enough to destroy any protective barrier."

Hear here.

A word suddenly came to Matthew's mind -

The Underground Sanctuary!

"They want to use these burrowers to break through the druid's walls of oak and protective barriers!"

Matthew was quick to make a judgment.

Hibbert nodded approvingly:

"I think that's the case."

Matthew added:

"Now that you've figured out their purpose, let's retreat first."

Hibbert shook his head and said:

"No, I'm just here to keep an eye on them and see what else they can do, as long as they can't crack my spells, I'll follow them wherever they go!"

Spread such an ancestor.

The members of the Scourge Order that Matthew brought in really felt like they were on their heads.

Still, he cautioned:

"The Scourge Order also has capable people, and now that Mary Joya is gone, you may face the projection of the Midnight God next, or something like that, they may not be afraid of your spells."

Hibbert said calmly:

"Don't worry, I'm ready to run away, just come and say hello to you now."

"I'm afraid you'll mistakenly think I'm stupid, and I won't even be able to find you, but I'm actually quite witty!"

Matthew smiled.

Hibbert really doesn't stay, he's just a little different from ordinary people.

He knew that for a long time.

However, the strength of the opponent's spells still shocked Matthew.

"Can your time stand still spell forever?"

He asked.

Heberdish said,

"As long as you don't get a limit to the damage you take, you can keep going."

"And my ball of light can be moved after it is opened, is there anything else in this stronghold that is very suspicious?"

"I'll take a look in a moment."

Seeing that the other party is resolute.

Matthew quickly explained the anomaly of the oak cage.

After that, the two made several agreements in secret.

It didn't take long.

Matthew returns to the position of the Scourge Cultists.

Zangura cast a meaningful look at him.

After another moment.

Mary Joy's face glowed red from a small dark room, and she straightened her rather messy hair, and announced in a loud voice:

"This mage will not be rampant for long, and my lord is about to send an angel to destroy him!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered.

But at this time.

The ball of light that had enveloped the burrower suddenly vanished, and Hibbert himself disappeared with it.

The crowd looked nervously.

A moment later.

Bright balls of light reappeared.

Within the range of the ball of light, all living creatures were bounced away.

"Stay away from that box!"

Mary Joa's expression was a little wrong.

However, no one could stop Hibbert from driving the time-standing ball of light.

He just came to the box in full view of everyone.

I didn't see any movement from Hibbert.

The oak planks on the outside of the box shattered, and large swaths of wood fell.

Everyone looked at each other.

But I saw that it was actually a huge crystal ball.

The crystal ball is filled with countless bubbles, large and small.

The larger bubbles contain a stag, a maiden, a vampire, a giant jellyfish, and a goshawk!

It is different from the normal animal form.

The bodies of these creatures are in a subtle state of illusion.

It's like they're all spirits.

"You're in trouble! Mage! ”

Mary Joya yelled angrily.

The next second.

A dark light fell from the dome and poured into the crystal ball.

In a flash.

The fallen vampire suddenly opened its scarlet eyes.

He stared coldly at everyone present.

There was a majesty that defied everything.

……

"Warning: You are aware that an angel has taken over the person of the soul of nature, 'Mosson the Vampire', through the ritual of reincarnation!

You realize that these unconscious souls of nature in front of you have been reduced to the medium of the reincarnation of the gods of Tianlun Palace!"
