Chapter 54: The Promise Before Sleep [II.]

When August was a child, he often went to an elderly man in the village to hear him tell him about all kinds of strange legends of the Noah continent, the treasures of the hero king, the eternal spring blessed by the gods, the epic crusades of the dwarven warriors... Among all the legends narrated by the old man, the Immortal Fire Arnold's Floating Stone Mountain Secret Treasure was the one he remembered the most.

In the first year of the gods' departure from the continent of Arad, the texts used have a collective name: the first year of the Vault Dweller.

All elemental magic was invalid after losing the blessing of the gods, and the magicians who were originally high in the Noah continent suddenly fell from the clouds of heaven into the painful hell, without the protection of magic, the magicians were relegated to commoners, from the aristocratic life of fine clothes and food to the situation of starvation.

In the five years after the first year of the Vault Dweller, the magic system collapsed, and the magicians set up secret organizations to go underground, constantly researching how to break the curse of the gods and find ways to restore the use of magic.

It was under such difficult conditions that Arnold Bruce spent sixteen years carving the world-shattering "Arnold Circle" through the sacrifice of life potential, and finally regained contact with the fire elemental and cast the fireball technique.

In commemoration of the Wanderer's first twenty-one years of unleashing elemental magic, Arnold Bruce's name was given the title of Unquenchable Fire, and over the next decade, Arnold continued to lift the ban on elemental magic, and then led the Immortal Flame, a mage organization that had been dormant for thirty years, to fight back against the previous forces that had suppressed the slaughter of mages. Fifty-five years after the first year of the Vault Dweller, the Immortal Flame finally cleared the threat and announced the establishment of the Wizards' Guild, with Arnold Bruce as its first president, with the Union's motto: Save, Slaughter, Liberate.

Three years later, at a commemorative party celebrating the founding of the Wizards' Guild, Arnold's body turned into countless points of light and disappeared without a trace in front of everyone's eyes. At that time, the guests who attended the commemorative party thought it was a small show of Arnold's improvisation, and kept cheering and applauding, but as time passed, when the guests finally found out that Arnold had really disappeared, the entire wizards' union was in chaos.

Arnold's disappearance plunged the magicians who had slowly restored order into war again, in order to fight for the throne of the Wizards' Guild, the magicians divided into factions and killed each other, and after ten years of civil strife, the magicians' legions led by the second president of the Magicians' Guild, Sion Hygers, used extremely bloody means to achieve the final victory and declare the end of the civil strife.

Sixty-nine years after the Vault Dweller's first year, it was discovered that the original manuscript of Arnold's circle had disappeared, and Arnold's mage's journal had disappeared along with him. And in Arnold's study, a parchment scroll clearly records the magic he studied most of the timeโ€”the Floating Stone Mountain.

Since then, the legend of Arnold's magic treasure buried in the Suspended Stone Mountain has spread far and wide on the Noah continent, and countless explorers have searched the places where Arnold once left his footprints, hoping to find a clue through this, but countless years have passed, and groups of explorers have exhausted their youth and died of depression. Gradually, the Suspended Stone Mountain became a ballad in the mouth of the bard, but the explorers who really went to find the Suspended Stone Mountain had already turned into loess.

And now the huge suspended stone mountain that appeared in front of August's eyes made him shudder for no reason, the secret treasure of the inextinguishable fire Arnold, what does the meaning of these words mean to a mage, that is, the supreme honor.

Auguste suppressed the inexplicable excitement in his heart, glanced at Coria and Duke, and asked, "How did you get trapped here, what the hell is going on here?"

Coria shook her head, pondered for a moment, and said: "At the beginning, the situation was similar to yours, they all followed the beam and fell, when the head of Duke found that the beam finally changed direction, we flew directly without much thought, but I didn't expect to see the ball of light that guided the direction a little, and was pulled in by this huge suction, I thought that I had encountered some powerful existence, and I directly opened the fighting energy, who knew that the more the fighting qi was raised, the stronger the suction force became, as if it was going to tear me apart." If I hadn't figured this out and dissipated my fighting spirit, I guess I would have no bones left. As long as you don't use a damaging skill, this suction won't be triggered. Koria still had palpitations when she thought of the situation just now.

"Can I climb this stone mountain?" asked Xuelu anxiously.

"Captain Duke and I have tried, but it shouldn't work, and every time we are about to touch the surface, a gentle force pushes us out. However, everyone can remove the blessing spell, and even if they don't have Sky Wings, they won't fall. This suction force is just right to keep us in a suspended position. Coria said as he pushed out, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only jump a little distance.

Holding August's staff with one hand, Xuelu carefully withdrew the blessing spell, and the moment the spell disappeared, a gentle force pulled the smaller body tightly, but did not hinder the body's movements. Xuelu sighed, finally settled down, let go of the small hand that grabbed the staff, and said with a smile: "I went to meditate, in order to avoid accidents, I will bind the traction magic to you Koria, and my safety will be handed over to you for the time being." โ€

Coria nodded, motioning for Xuelu to meditate in peace, then turned to Auguste and said, "I wonder if you are interested in exploring this huge floating stone mountain?"

"Didn't you say you couldn't land?" asked August, looking at Coria with a puzzled face.

"It's true that you can't land, but you can look around the mountain, and you only need a little force to push each other to move. After Duke finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed the inner wall of the stone mountain, and suddenly the whole person slowly moved backwards, "Look, it's very simple!" After speaking, he pushed in the opposite direction and returned to everyone's side.

"It's kind of interesting!" August nudged as Duke did, and a gentle reaction force made the whole person slowly fly out of the canopy, and then he couldn't wait to float towards the other side of the suspended stone mountain.

"Two regiment leaders, I won't go, after all, Xuelu is left here alone, and if something goes wrong, I really don't know how to explain to Cohen. Koria waved her hand, signaling that she would not explore the Stone Mountain with August. Duke and Dylan nodded, and hurriedly chased in the direction of August. When it was clear that the three Augustes had gone away, Coria turned her head to look at Xuelu who was meditating with her eyes closed, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to her now, she kicked her legs and slowly disappeared into the shadows of the stone mountain.

A piece of pitch-black crystal was secretly pulled out of Korya's pocket, and it was the dark demonic crystal that he accidentally obtained on the island before. At this point, Coria finally waited for a chance to try out what was in her mind.

Koria stretched out a finger, her heart moved at will, and a strand of hair-thin fighting qi kept changing on her fingers like a spiritual little snake, and then driven by her mind, the little snake that transformed her fighting spirit slowly swam towards the dark demonic crystal.

"Nourishing !!"

A dazzling purple lightning flashed on the dark demonic crystal, and instantly devoured the little snake that had transformed into a fighting spirit, and then a desolate aura mixed with coldness, killing, fear, and trembling surged into his heart, and the whole person seemed to be in a chaos, without a trace of light, no direction, no time, Koria only felt that the sky should not be called, the earth was not spiritual, and the future and the past flashed in his mind like a marquee, and many of these things made Coria's heart feel guilty and ashamed...

Just when Coria was gradually lost in the negative emotions in his heart, a burst of pain like a steel needle piercing his heart made him wake up instantly, and beads of sweat the size of beans slowly slid down his cheeks, because just now in the depths of his heart, a voice like ice suddenly sounded in the depths of his mind: "Don't measure yourself, look for death!"

Under that unforgettable sense of fear, Koria struggled to curl the corners of her mouth and laughed, muttering in a low voice: "Finally found, Ha Lu Ha !! finally found a more powerful force." His hands kept stroking the dark demonic crystal, and said with a smile: "Carlos Melen, you wait, one day I will make you kneel in front of me and pay for your past sins to redeem your filthy soul, ha!" Coria's whole body trembled violently, but the irrepressible excitement in her voice made the whole person look extremely hideous.

After a long while, Koria's mood gradually returned to calm, recalling the voice that sounded in her head just now, and now she was finally a little afraid, but remembering that the blood feud that had been buried for many years finally had a chance to get revenge, Coria turned her heart sideways, grasped the dark demonic crystal, and said fiercely: "It's a big deal, put this life in." โ€

"Auguste, Klya, are you there?" and "As Krya was thinking, Xuelu's slightly urgent cry came from not far away.

Koria hurriedly packed up her mood, hurriedly stuffed the crystals into her pocket, and hurriedly ran out of the city, shouting at Xuelu: "I'm here, the three of them go around and look around, and it's estimated that they will be back in a while." โ€

Xuelu looked at Coria and suddenly asked, "You're fine, why are your eyes red?"

"It's nothing, maybe the climate here is too dry, and the eyes are a little uncomfortable. Coria shook her head, came to Xuelu's side, and asked, "Has your mana recovered?"

Xuelu nodded and said, "I don't know what the Dao is for, the recovery speed of meditation magic here is amazing, but just after a short while, I have already recovered, and there is a slight increase in perception, I am a little reluctant to break away from meditation." Xue Lu smiled after speaking, since she became a water mage and an auxiliary priest, the increase in perception has almost reached a bottleneck, after all, the dual system cultivation requires much more perception than the cultivation of ordinary magicians. Later, Xuelu's mentor persuaded Xuelu to temporarily give up meditation to improve her perception, and suggested that she participate in mercenary recruitment tasks to sharpen herself, hoping to make a breakthrough.

Originally, Xuelu didn't have any hope for these things at all, just changed her mood, who knew that Lu Dao's trip to the underground actually made her perception improve again, and the joy in it, Xue Lu really didn't know how to express it.
