"The tent was set up on the airship, and the airship was parked on the ground.

"However, the withered plants that you failed to kill in the past were controlled by strange beasts and sent here like a conveyor belt."

After studying the ground beneath the airship, Ian came up with this explanation.

Yesterday he thought things weren't that simple, but today it came true.

It's really retribution.

"In this kind of place, will there really be reinforcements?"

Ian looked at the sky above him and sighed.

They are now in the heart of the Blighted Scars, but fortunately the Harmonic Instrument is still working.

Just like a tainted Charged Stone, it will first scare away weak beasts before attracting them.

The Harmonic Sphere's Soul Shield creates a "non-red area" that is visible to the naked eye.

As a result, this area was considered by the strange beast to be a powerful species "feeding".

Unless a stronger guy comes to the door, it's safe for now.

The crowd retreated to the deck and lit the soul lanterns.

They used their respective Charged Stones.

The soft white light was like a candle in the cold wind, and the candle flame shook weakly.

But it just doesn't die.

The "apprentices" who were secretly observing were also puzzled by this.

He has now been reduced to "it".

As the core of the harmonic instrument, it is also a strange beast that has completed its transformation and is determining its own form, it is very incomprehensible.

Why hasn't the will of this group broken up until now?

It's pervasive, but it has to be pervasive.

Not to mention, these lanterns, which emit a soft white light, are full of power that makes it fearful.

Even without a lantern, it could not find a chance to invade.

Speaking of which, it's not to blame.

Look at the remaining twelve—

Theara believed in Heine.

And the two attendants around her, Shadow and Fang, both unconditionally believe in the Servant, and also believe in Heine to a certain extent.

Renee, on the other hand, believes in Thiara.

And one of her loyal old ranger guards believed in her with all his heart.

As for Ian.

Not to mention that he had already talked to Heine, even if he didn't, Gulliver's mountain parted, and now he is "reunited" with Teacher Xia, so naturally he can't believe it anymore.

And the old dwarf himself has a strong faith.

That's six people.

Who are the rest?

Simon, Megumi, Toto, Heine, and two dwarven guards hired by Toto.

They didn't believe in Heine, but they believed in Ian and Toto.

As a result, this group of people, with Heine as the core, formed a solid network of trust, so that the strange beasts had no chance to take advantage of it at all.

Finally, the "apprentice's" body was shaped.

Stomp and tread

Footsteps sounded, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

I saw a man with shoulders wider than the double door but a thin waist and thin legs, obviously a Chinese character, a beard but small eyes, and white skin, slowly walked out.

He also has a pair of big feet.

At first glance, he looks like a random combination of anti-heaven parameters in a custom face pinching system.

But if you take apart the facial features and the features on the body, every place is excellent.

It's a pity that the combination is completely separate.

Megumi: "Oh my God, I can't imagine anyone could look like this on Scruge's face......"

Teacher Xia: "I'll just say how these facial features have a kind of intense beauty, is it originally from Archmage Scrooge?" ”

Megumii: "It's not just the face, this shoulder is Hercules', he has one-eighth giant blood; The beard is of Neil's, who is a quarter of dwarven blood; The face of the national character is Helenda's, the standard of the people of gold; The waist and legs are those of the thin dog Kisstin, who is a Zanro and is half of the nezumi blood, and as for this big foot, ......"

Mr. Xia: "This big foot board is Grover's, this guy has a joke, when he went to the shadow footsteps to negotiate, the joint code was 'I'll buy shoes'." ”

Duoduo: "It seems that this strange beast has been listening to the radio a lot, and his mind is full of archmages of the Council of Six." ”

…

Heine understood.

Because of the particularity of this buddy, when he pinched his face, it was not the fear of everyone.

It's his own ideal.

He dreamed of becoming a human being.

And the Venerable Master in his understanding was the mages of the Council of Six - he excluded the women among them, and also selected a few former archmages, and pinched a six-in-one body for himself.

"Hello, my guests."

He paused and greeted the crowd in an elegant tone.

"You may call me Archmage."

"Archmage?" Renee snorted coldly, "You don't even have a name, do you?" ”

"I don't need a name."

The apprentice who became an archmage said proudly: "Soon, there will be only one archmage left in the world, so I don't need a name. ”

syllable

He snapped his fingers.

When everyone was facing a great enemy, white light flickered, and two heavily armed figures appeared on his left and right.

It was those two fifth-level battle mages.

They looked normal, except for the lack of light in their eyes.

"They were clinging to the room in their best gear, but unfortunately no amount of equipment could arm their fragile minds.

"I completely shattered their defenses with just one question.

"Now, I'm going to ask you similar questions."

The archmage looked at the crowd.

Everyone exchanged glances, and they were about to make a move.

Click

There was a soft thud from the waists of the two battle mages, and then each of them had an additional slender firearm with a silver white body.

There was an undisguised wave of magic coming from there, at least at the level of the fifth level.

Teacher Xia was taken aback: "Damn, BUG gun?" ”

He quickly tugged at Heine's clothes and reminded him to be cautious.

"Calm down!"

Heine didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly stopped everyone.

Duoduo was curious: "Why is it called a bug gun?" I remember it was called Pelpais II, also known as Wild Bee II."

Mr. Xia: "Because it looks like the previous AUG assault rifle, and it starts with B, it's called a BUG, why do you know, can you also get involved in this deal of Vitas?" ”

Duoduo: "Yes, the two shipyards I bought after the Void Disaster have been converted into military factories, specializing in the production of magic guns, but this gun is too expensive to sell. ”

“…… Yes, it's not easy to sell. ”

Teacher Xia felt that he couldn't answer.

…

At the same time, Heine was still inquiring about the reason.

Teacher Xia: "Although this gun can only be fired once, once it is fired, at least one of the people present will die, and even the chain of forgiveness cannot block the beam of energy, so I advise you to be cautious." ”

Heine was stunned: "So powerful? ”

Teacher Xia: "This naturally has a price, it is already accumulating, this is the gameplay of scrapped weapons, not a regular state." ”

I see......

Heine somewhat understood what the other party was trying to do.

It was reluctant to kill people so quickly, or even to start a conflict.

If you were not mistaken, it draws strength from those whose minds have been disturbed, and this is what causes them to "lose a lot of experience".

It now behaves like it usually lets players kill monsters instead of doing it yourself.

No one is going to be overwhelmed by experience.

…

Seeing that Heine had stopped everyone, a trace of anger flashed in the archmage's eyes.

Not angry at this behavior, but angry at giving Heine another chance to be in the limelight.

Suddenly it had a dark thought, and said to Heine:

"You, choose two people to die, so that you can both survive."

Heine raised his eyebrows slightly: "What did you say?" ”

"Yes, I said it."

Heine: "You have to be a little sincere, right?" How else do I know you're not encouraging us to kill each other? ”

The archmage grinned and mocked, "You don't have the conditions to negotiate. ”

Heine sneered: "Do you really think we don't dare to fight with you? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone who was held down just now was ready to go.

The muscles on the archmage's face squirmed strangely a few times, as if suppressing his anger, and his expression changed stiffly.

"Okay."

It grinned again, as if moving the muscles on its face.

Then he snapped his fingers, and the crowd shook slightly.

It turned out that the airship was lifted by the wriggling vines on the ground and walked out.

Despite the red haze around him, the sky above him was distorted.

But everyone could still feel that they were gradually moving away from the core area.

After some distance, the airship came to a stop again.

"Now it's your choice." The Archmage said, "This is my greatest sincerity. ”

Heine nodded, also unambiguously, pointing directly at Megumi and Toto.

"Death to the two of them."

"What??"

"Why me?"

Naga and Red, two playful guys, immediately began to perform.

Behind his back, he laughed wildly, but his face showed anger and despair.

Even the others were a little unbearable.

However, the archmage was so confused that his facial features were distorted.

Why?

Why don't you feel the slightest sense of true despair?

The two outcasts were as indifferent as the dead, and the expressions on their faces were even more fake than that......

Could it be that they are also controlled by strange beasts?

The archmage watched in confusion as the two of them numbly walked out of the crowd and towards him.

It was about to check on the two of them when it saw the guy named "Naga" smiling weirdly at itself.

Not good!

Before it could react, the two of them pounced on the mages on both sides, one left and one right.

Boom!

After two fire-like buzzes, Naga and Red's pierced bodies went limp.

The BUG assault rifle, which is full of energy, has only one shot, and has since lost its deterrent effect.

As for Megumi and Duoduo, they were infused with enough experience by Heine a second before they were about to die, and the spiritual connection had detached from their bodies and turned to the trial of being promoted to the fifth level.

At the same moment, Heine's voice followed:

"Do it!"
