The mountains to the northeast become clearer in the light of the whitening sky in the early morning.

High on the platform of the Star Tower, four wizards stood side by side, looking far to the east.

"Today is the scheduled day. I don't know if Lance will be able to make it. Valerie whispered.

Landry said confidently: "No problem, that kid from Lance has never made a mistake in doing things." ”

The barbarian wizard was still silent, just standing there steadily.

"I asked Brother Raven to pass him a message, and he also gave an answer, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. ”

Dora's voice was a little more confident, since she became a second-level wizard, her voice in the team has become much more weighty.

The rest of the people hardly disobeyed her will, and she liked it too—especially Valerie, who she could clearly feel that the puppeteer had become more respectful and intimate to her over the past six months.

This made her look forward to it, wondering what kind of attitude Lance would have when he appeared in front of her, or was it the same as before?

"I'm very different from when I was first promoted to a second-level wizard!"

A smile flashed at the corner of Dora's mouth: "If you still treat me with such an indifferent attitude, I will prepare a surprise for you." ”

The mountain wind was fierce, and the group looked at it for a while, and then they prepared to return to the Star Tower to practice. Although they have been preparing for this trip to Sivaret for half a year, more preparations are not useless, and they will be on the next adventure. They were not given similar instructions as before.

All are at a loss, and all are unknown – and both the dazed and unknown mean great risks.

Tuk tuk!

In the early morning, as soon as the gates of the city were opened, an old carriage passed the inspection of the guards and drove quickly into the White City.

Dora glanced at the carriage and didn't care at first, but after a while, there was a smile in her eyes.

Because the old carriage was impressively following the cobblestone path all the way up the mountain. I came to the front of the castle lord's palace.

"Let's go. Go meet this guy who has been gone for half a year. ”

Before the other three could react, Dora jumped forward, and the magic carpet suddenly opened, enveloping the three of them inside.

A group of four people slammed down. Suddenly appeared at the door of the city lord's palace.

Meanwhile. The carriage came to a slow stop. The driver of the carriage wore a cloak and was hunched at the waist.

"Miss Dora, several adults, good morning......"

The coachman greeted with trepidation.

Dora bowed slightly. His eyes were fixed on the carriage.

"Mr. Lance, do you still need us to invite you down?"

Valerie glanced at Dora, but said first.

Who knew that there was silence in the carriage, and no one responded at all.

A look of doubt flashed in Dora's eyes, and she suddenly stepped forward quickly, muttering a very short incantation in her mouth.

Five or six bytes spit out, and her figure suddenly split into four, attacking from four angles, and rushed towards the dilapidated carriage!

The other three were stunned, not understanding why Dora suddenly made a move.

The driver seemed frightened by the scene and clumsily ducked under the car.

Sting!

Four black shadows staggered by, tearing through the entire carriage and turning it into a pile of discarded iron sheets and wood.

Dora's figure appeared three steps away from the carriage, her brow furrowed.

I saw that among the broken carriages, it was really empty, and there was no one.

"What's going on?"

Before everyone could react, a low laugh rang out:

"You're still in such a hurry, Miss Dora......"

Dora's body shuddered, and just as she wanted to fight back, she realized that she had a hand around her neck.

The skin in that hand was a little rough, and it was firmly gripping her neck, and although she didn't use any force, she could still feel the firm will of the owner of the hand.

It was a second before she realized that the chest that was as hard as a stone wall against her back was a familiar aura.

Everyone watched in amazement as the "coachman" casually took off his cloak, revealing his brown hair and handsome appearance.

"It's you!"

Landry shouted. None of them had looked at the driver before, and they had always subconsciously thought that Lance should be sitting in the carriage.

Dora thinks so too, so she's right in Lance's hands.

"You actually guessed my move?" asked Dora, a little incredulous.

The posture of the two was quite ambiguous, but neither of them cared about this.

Lance smiled lightly, "If one day I can't guess your move, that's a strange thing, right?"

Dora snorted unconvinced, and her body suddenly went limp, but she was immediately suppressed by the truth—a magical blast from Lance interfered with her silent spell and ruined her plans a second time.

"Damn man, let me go!"

I haven't seen him for a long time, and I have been deflated in Lance's hands continuously, and at the same time I was watched by three companions, and Dora, who has always been generous, was a little unbearable.

Lance didn't embarrass her, and decisively let her go.

He spread his hands: "This incident should make you remember it a little longer, right?"

Dora snorted, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes, as if she wanted to test Lance's depth again.

Who knew that at this time, Lance's expression suddenly became stern.

In the next second, a terrifying aura emanated from him—all the openings in the outermost layer of the Pool of Dawn were opened by him, and a large amount of magical aura couldn't help but pour out!

Five hundred magic points, the pinnacle of the second and early stages!

The aura of terror swept across the entire platform, Dora was fine, but her expression was shocked, but the other three showed a look of horror, like a small boat in a storm, and they could barely stand still!

This moment. Lance took out all the strength that had been hidden for a long time. The strength of the peak of the second level of the first stage was enough to make the three high-level apprentices sincerely rise in awe.

"Oh my God, you've been promoted to a second-level wizard too!"

Rand looked at Lance with a pale face, and suddenly strode forward and gave Lance a sincere hug: "Congratulations, you are really a hidden guy...... Although I always thought that with your intelligence, it would be a matter of time before I became a second-level wizard, but I didn't expect it to be so soon...... Actually, I want to ask, Lance, how old are you this year?"

Lance calculated in his heart, and said with a smile: "Seventeen, or eighteen, in fact, I don't remember much." ”

Valerie's eyes flashed with jealousy. Then she stuck out her tongue: "It's shocking." When crossing the river of the plane. The five of us are all first-level wizards, but it's a miracle that you and Miss Dora have become second-level wizards in just half a year. Congratulations. ”

"Thank you. Lance nodded politely. He hasn't been very cold about this woman. and Dora, Landry's true temperament presumably. Every word she said seemed a little pretentious. This kind of artificiality may not be noticeable to others. But for a person like Lance, who was a two-life person and a senior chip salesman in his previous life, it was too easy to see through her.

In the face of the strong strength shown by Reims, Sacra also has the same attitude as Landry. It was with great pleasure to bless Reims.

Dora, on the other hand, went from surprise at the beginning to a look of course.

"If he hadn't been promoted to a second-level wizard when he came back this time, he wouldn't have been Lance. She secretly thought in her heart: "Two second-level wizards, such a lineup, it should be more than enough to explore Sivare." ”

......

"So, you've got a plan?"

In the dining room of the Lord's Palace, Lance quickly slice a fine steak and expertly served it into his mouth with a fork. His movements were extremely fast but elegant, and in less than half a minute, a palm-sized steak was neatly eliminated by him. He wiped his mouth with a napkin before asking.

"We decided to leave before lunch, but it didn't hurt to fill our stomachs before we left. Dora blinked, "We still have plenty of time, and now we have a week before the summer solstice." ”

"In other words, we have a week to follow the prophecy in the apocalypse left by your ancestors and find the ancient castle of Sivaré surrounded by a mysterious lake in the Cold Mountain Mountains?"

Lance asked a little strangely, "Isn't this a very simple thing? based on our previous experience, and the fact that Cold Mountain is not a dangerous place, there is no need to spend a week, right?"

"Things are always going to change. ”

Dora explains: "The prophecy in the second book of Revelation is far more simple and obscure than the first, and to be honest, although I have interpreted this part, I still have no understanding of the content. ”

At Lance's motion, she handed Lance a blank piece of paper. It was copied four lines of text and a rough hand-drawn drawing.

"That's all?"

Lance's eyes widened.

"That's all. ”

Dora blinked.

"Why is this happening? The prophecy is shrinking?" said Lance to himself, spreading out the blank sheet of paper and reading it carefully.

Those four lines of text look like a poem:

[Between the white stones and the bad water, there is a gorgeous palace in the past]

[Demons lurk in the shade of trees, and death dances in the night]

[One sixth of the king's spirits are whispering:]

【Sycamore's Coffin, Weeping Forest......】

......

Next to the poem is a crude hand-drawn drawing of an ancient castle and some of its surroundings in simple lines.

"There's nothing particularly obvious about it. ”

Lance glanced at the image and asked the fox to scan it into the database so that it could be compared later.

It seems that the key lies in these four verses. ”

He touched his chin and began to think carefully: "It seems that the correlation between these four lines of poetry is very poor, and the meaning is also very vague......"

"Isn't there any other clue?"

Dora shook her head slowly. She said solemnly: "I think it's impossible to analyze anything while sitting here and thinking, so it's better to leave early." ”

"No problem. Lance stood up and handed the piece of paper to Dora, "Let's go." ”

"Now?" Dora looked at him with some surprise, "Don't you need to prepare anything?"

Lance shrugged, "I'm ready." (To be continued......)

PS: When the new volume opened, I struggled for a long time between God's unfolding and writing according to the outline...... Many friends say that I don't have an outline for writing books, but in fact, I can say righteously: I have an outline== It's just that the outline is often overturned by inexplicable brain holes. By the way, it's the last day, so if you still have the remaining monthly passes, throw them to me, thank you
