The philosopher struggled to move forward, feeling his body getting weaker and weaker.

She gasped for air, coughed up bloody sputum, and put down the package she was holding.

I can't take it.

She had already scratched her fingers and turned white. It was a little too heavy for her.

Inside this improvised package were pieces of the hatter's body—ritual materials she had so hard to obtain.

In this ceremony, the hatter became a sturdy youth. The philosopher used the information he had obtained to make a deal with him, clarifying the fact that his teammates could not be found, and expressing his willingness to team up with the opponent.

With the help of the "hatter", the philosopher, who had just escaped from the private room and was still weak and weak, was able to enter the secret passage smoothly. She could barely stand up, almost in the secret passage that the hatter had lifted up and stuffed into her.

And after both of them entered the secret passage, when the philosopher breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately attacked and killed him with a spell.

- For no other reason, just that she desperately needed to heal her body and regain her strength.

There is no priest in this ceremony, and even if there is, it is difficult to kidnap the other party to heal himself. Although the Hatter is now willing to cooperate with him, if he continues to behave like this, maybe the other party will kill him directly.

It's better to strike first.

Although as a mage of the path of wisdom, the philosopher did not have the ability to recover. But fortunately, as long as you know how to do it, you can perform some simple rituals even if you don't go beyond the level of the path.

And the human corpse with mana is a wonderful ritual material-

Sure enough, I really don't have any talent for wisdom paths. The philosopher laughed at himself.

It took so many years and so many resources to use the path of wisdom that the path of wisdom had just come into contact with the third energy level.

The core principles of the path of wisdom are mystery, selfishness, and reason. A wise man who guards secrets, maintains neutrality, and maintains sanity, alone, ahead of his time, and not understood by everyone-

The philosopher is confident that he can accomplish the first two points, but the third point is difficult to achieve. Because she's always prone to outbursts.

She wanted to work part-time on the path of wisdom at that time, but she felt that she was very easy to lose her mind. Therefore, I hope to use this most rational path to make up for my shortcomings.

Maybe it's the influence of the transcendent path, or maybe it's the corruption of her reason by the contract demon. When she encounters any pain or frustration, she does not think of "remaining silent and ignoring it" or "dismissively treating it with contempt", but immediately wants to make the other party pay with her actions.

Because she just couldn't help it.

- I'm so powerful!

With a high status, abundant wealth, and an intelligent and capable heir, he is a veteran nobleman who has been inherited for hundreds of years, a nobleman with real power and a general with military achievements. There is no one who will not give themselves a face.

But the path of wisdom requires a smile on the doubts and hostility of fools. On the path of truth, all those strife and quarrels are just meaningless wastes of time.

The feeling of being on top of all beings, overlooking all beings, and not being interested in mundane things from the bottom of his heart, the philosopher has never been able to grasp it.

She gave herself this code name when she promoted the path of wisdom, and it was also to remind herself to stay rational and think more about everything.

As a result, she not only turned into a weak girl...... And to be insulted and bullied by such an old man!

- If this was a promotion ceremony beyond the Dao, she might have resonated with the Dao by now.

But this is the promotion ceremony of the path of wisdom. As a result, not only did she now feel dizzy in her head, her eyes blackened, and her hands and feet weak, but she also felt that the probability of casting spells was decreasing.

In the end, in the promotion ceremony of this path of wisdom, she still used the ceremony of transcending the path......

Dismembering bodies by hand is tiring, technical, and time-consuming.

Her physical state at the moment could not support her to manually dismember the body of the "hatter", so the philosopher directly consumed a little more mana and quickly arranged the "decomposition ritual", quickly dismantling the other party's corpse into a piece of material that could be carried with her.

She then used the remains of the Hatter for the first "Ritual of Regeneration" to replenish her first physical strength.

After that, she used the other person's clothes as a package and packed the materials separately.

She didn't want to clash with others at this time. Because she only has a little mana left, and it is possible that a complete depletion of mana will lead to a coma.

And for those who use the young male body, she will definitely not be able to defeat the other party without using her supernatural abilities.

So after consideration, the philosopher chose to use two-thirds of the material left behind by the hatter to set the trap.

She walked all the way and laid out all the way. Because I don't have a lot of materials on hand, I can't set up too aggressive traps.

Considering the possibility of entering the secret passage together, it is possible to be woken up by a companion by directly placing a sleeping trap. So the philosopher finally chose the detachment ceremony.

It is a curse ritual that makes it difficult to move in the limbs.

If the opponent is a temporary teammate, then the person who steps on the trap may be killed by someone else's sudden action; And if they are companions who can't give up, then they will choose to act with them by holding them up, carrying them, etc., or simply staying and trying to lift the curse.

Either way, it will buy her a lot of time.

And after a trap, you will probably become cautious after that. It is even possible to prepare a curse countermeasure.

Therefore, the second ritual arranged by the philosophers is the ritual of "strong acid arrows" made of bile, gastric juice and blood.

When the other party walks into a long, narrow, narrow corridor with nothing, and when they are two-thirds of the way through and gradually become more relaxed, strong acid arrows will fly from the front. This first-level ritual may not be able to kill a person directly, but it can cause great pain and weaken the opponent's ability to move and fight.

The philosopher then removed the hatter's spine and liver, and set up a wall of illusions that would obscure the light source, along with a few runes. They may think they've reached a dead end, think it's a trap and turn around. Or may not give up trying to investigate the wall. The philosopher placed a tripwire under the blackout wall, which was used to trigger the stinger trap behind the wall.

When someone tries to get close to investigate the wall, they will be stabbed by the stinger behind the wall - in order to allow the male promotion who may be taller to be hit, she deliberately lowered the height of the text so that the other party must bow down if they can see it in the dim light source. And her adjusted stinger will pierce the opponent's eye.

- These three ritual traps can at least reduce the number of people by three, right?

The philosopher thought.

Count the dead forgers and hatters, and add yourself......

If you remove three more people, there will basically not be many people chasing after you.

And the first ritual of incapacitation was to remind his companions - although they were suddenly nowhere to be found, the philosopher still kindly left them clues. If you see a ritual trap that is arranged, then you should think that there is a trap arranged by yourself in front of you, and be a little more careful.

She didn't have much material left.

Originally, I wanted to replenish my physical strength when I didn't have the strength.

But now she suddenly began to hesitate.

For the philosopher was not sure whether the end of this secret passage needed to be opened.

It's okay if it's a password or a riddle. Through the development of the wisdom path, he can still come up with it quickly. But if it's a password or even a spell rune that she doesn't know, then she can only force it through a ritual.

And every time a material is used in the front, it may lead to the subsequent door missing this material and cannot be opened.

“…… There is only one corpse, which is not enough at all. ”

The philosopher gritted his teeth and felt that it was better to save another province.

I won't give myself a recuperation.

Originally, she thought that if the crescent moon ceremony could not be completed, it would be a big deal to find a place to hide. Even if you can't clear the level, you won't be punished as long as you're alive.

…… But after she endured that kind of encounter, she suddenly felt that if she didn't clear the level, she would suffer too much.

But at this moment.

She suddenly felt a cold malice - the philosopher did not hesitate to pick up a package from the ground and threw it in one direction with all his might.

"Eat their hearts and chew their livers, and command you with the mighty blood of youth! Show up to them, drunken bull! ”

She chanted aloud at the same time.

The heart and liver in the package burst into flames, and then the flames suddenly grew larger with a strong smell of wine.

It was like a bull wrapped in wine-soaked straw and lit with fire - a golden-red flame raging. In the narrow space, a bull-like shadow flashed in the direction she was pointing.

But what made her heart sink was that she didn't hear the screams.

"—are you...... Alai? ”

Only a cold, dry voice sounded.

The black robe shook open in the air like a rag, and there were no living people inside.
