Chapter 302: Escape 2
Gehr did not touch the books that had been put in order, and he knew very well that if he touched them, the nature of the matter would change.
Before, it could only be regarded as a private battle between apprentices, and the winner obtained the loser's property, which was allowed by the rules of society, even if Luke was a wizard, he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't blatantly help his cronies come out to coerce Gehr, at most, he could only use the inducement to pay some benefits in exchange for Gehr's side. After all, although he is a sorcerer, but there are many sorcerers in the cracks of Aishi, and he is much higher in rank than him, if he does not abide by this clear rule and steals other people's property, then people who are stronger than him will naturally come to rob his property as a matter of course.
Of course, this kind of rule only exists within the control of the mugwort rift, as for the place where the mugwort rift cannot be controlled, if the wizard attacks the apprentice, or even the high-ranking wizard against the low-level wizard, as long as the hands and feet are clean and the reputation is not bad, it is not a big problem. It can be said that although the entire wizarding world follows the law of the jungle that is not entirely the law of the jungle, it is not a problem at all to say that the strong are respected.
It is precisely because of these clear or implicit rules that generally speaking, apprentices will be very conscious in the face of wizards, as long as they do not involve the bottom line, they will comply with the wizard's requirements, so if Luke spends some money to exchange for the pendant of Garton from Gehr's hand, it is feasible, but the result of this exchange is that all the previous contradictions are broken, and it must not cause future conflicts, which is also the main purpose of Gehr taking the pendant.
Of course, if Luke doesn't give Garden a head, Gell will be rewarded with a magic item. The results couldn't have been better.
But if Gehr touches the books that have nominally become Luke's property, then the nature of the matter can be distorted by Luke's side to mean that Gehr intends to covet the property belonging to Luke the Wizard. The result is that whatever Luke does to Gehr afterwards is in accordance with the rules and will not be condemned by others.
Again. These books do not reflect their value until they are translated, and even if they are translated, they may not necessarily contain the sorcery content that wizards value, it may be an introduction to the nature of the book, or it may just be some poetry, depending on the hobbies of the original owner of the library. Based on the past excavations recorded by the Academy, it is generally very lucky to have five spell books in all the collections of a small private library in a non-critical area like this, not counting the possibility of duplication with the books excavated in the past. So he certainly wouldn't want to let Gehr suffer the price he might pay later for this kind of gain and obviously disproportionate things.
Leaving the library, Ger quickly put this behind him, and according to his experience, the next road should not be dangerous, but he will not relax unless he completely breaks away from this ruin, or even leaves the outer swamp and returns to the area effectively controlled by humans.
Walking through the black halls filled with gargoyle warriors, Gehr found that the traces of the battle left not so long ago were barely visible. Stone warriors with a new fit were scattered around the hall, and when Gehr arrived at the spot where the battle had been most intense, he saw a large number of destroyed stone warriors. However, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it can be seen that pieces of rubble continue to move slowly as if pulled by invisible silk threads, and merge with the broken gargoyle warriors. Start repairing them, as if everything here has a life of its own, and it looks amazing.
Walk through the Black Hall. It didn't take long to walk through a long tunnel. Gehr is finally back on the ground again.
The sky was still overcast, except for the turquoise dots of light that dotted the cemetery like phosphorus fire. There are no other light sources.
He looked at the Spell Tower not far in front of him, which was where the main entrance Luke said when he led the way. Gell found no sign of human activity, but the solemn sense of oppression still hovered in his heart and did not want to dissipate, not weakened by his departure from the building, and he had no extra thoughts, and quickly ran towards the entrance.
Gell was now much quicker to concentrate on his journey than he had been with Luke and Barnsley, and it took him less than twenty minutes to see dead trees and twisted iron bars at the end of his vision—the hallmarks of their surroundings when they first entered the ruins.
Sou!
It was like a strong wind pressure sound caused by the high-speed shuttle of some kind of object, stirring the gas in the air, setting off a huge wind wave in this place that had been silent and dark, and for a while the dust and smoke were billowing and the rubble flew away, and the sound was extremely powerful.
Gehr hurriedly turned his head and looked at the tower of spells behind him, where the sound was heard.
I saw that a thick white pillar of light shot out from the top of the spell tower at some point, straight into the sky, and even the thick haze in the sky seemed to be dispelled, and the milky white light scattered down to the surroundings, dyeing the sky and the earth bright, which was magnificent.
Gehr found that there was also a huge transparent sphere wrapped in the pillar of light, which glowed with a rosy sheen in the surrounding pillar, and if it weren't for this different color on the transparent sphere, Gehr would have almost missed it.
Immediately after a violent explosion, a white shadow was seen rushing out from the top of the spell tower, heading straight for the sphere.
Take a closer look, the white shadow turned out to be an old man in a white robe, and as he appeared, bursts of powerful spiritual coercion continued to spread outward, making it difficult for Gerdus, who was far away from him, to breathe, obviously, this was a wizard, and an extraordinary wizard.
Thinking about it, there was no similar existence to this person in the group led by Luke, and Luke also said that someone had already come in before them, and killed Luke's men who stayed on the periphery, but this group of people entered from the main gate of the ruins, and the team led by Luke did not meet, combined with these circumstances, it is obvious that this old man is one of those people.
Behind the white-robed wizard was a phantom of a clock that just wrapped around his body, and it slowly turned in the air, and his long white hair flew wildly under the effect of the air current. It was like tentacles inserted into the clock phantom, and streams of silvery-white energy flowed along his hair into the clock phantom. The phantom became brighter and brighter, and countless dense runes flickered on it. Make it more and more like a materialized existence.
Gehr frowned, and with the movements of the white-robed wizard, he could feel the fluctuations emitted by the overwhelming energy particles, and they slapped on his body like waves crashing on the beach, and the wind concealment technique that he kept holding on his body in his hurry actually began to dissipate, and the energy particles that constructed the spell seemed to begin to disappear at all.
The white-robed wizard's target was clearly the rose-colored transparent orb.
Although the orb was not mortal at first glance, Gehr was very self-aware, judging by the strength it displayed. Knowing that he had no qualifications to intervene in this kind of situation, he immediately prepared to turn around and leave quickly, if he waited for the white-robed wizard to finish what he was going to do, and had the spare energy to notice himself, it would be a tragedy if he threw a spell at himself again.
Call!
Behind it was another wild whistling.
Gehr turned sideways and looked behind him as he ran, only to see that the white-robed wizard who was already very close to the transparent sphere had tumbled out far away, and where he had been was a huge arm, a strange arm made entirely of green flames.
This familiar scene immediately reminded Gehr of a scene in his memory, and before he could think about it. Another arm protruded from the top of the tower, followed by two heads made of green flames, then a body made of flames, and a slender tail of flames below the waist.
It was a two-headed flame giant, almost identical to the one summoned by Luke and Barnsley in the Black Hall. It's just that the size is more than ten times magnified, and standing on the top of the spell tower is like an extra hill out of thin air, obviously the origin of this two-headed flame giant must have a close relationship with Luke and the two.
Soon. Gehr's idea was confirmed.
After knocking the white-robed wizard into the air once again as he tried to rush back, the two-headed flame giant let out a fierce roar. Its body was also affected by the spells of the white-robed wizard, causing the green flames that made up its body to become transparent and solidified. It was in this situation that Gehr saw one person in each of the two heads of the two-headed flame giant, and it was Luke and Barnsley. Countless green rays of light extended from all parts of the two of their bodies, connecting various parts of the two-headed flame giant's body, and it was obvious that this two-headed flame giant was composed of the two of them at its core, and every move was controlled by them.
"You're looking for death!"
The white-robed wizard rolling in the air finally stabilized his body and let out an angry roar, causing the energy particles around him to fluctuate wildly.
"Fataloa, your actions are tantamount to a declaration of war against the Promisu Torch Elders, and you have to think clearly about the consequences!" Luke's voice rolled out of the giant's mouth, and his voice was not weakened in the slightest.
"Then it's up to you to see if you have the ability!"
The white-robed wizard Fataloa shouted angrily, and the phantom of the clock behind him suddenly expanded, covering the sky overwhelmingly, and the green flame on the two-headed flame giant burned even more fiercely, and the size of the giant was a little larger.
The next moment, the two sides collided together, and in a violent explosion, a dazzling brilliance erupted in the air, and the eyes that pierced Geer were also painful, and he immediately turned his head, did not dare to look again, and continued to run with his head bored.
After another spurt, about five minutes later, Gehr finally returned to where he had set out, and the point of departure was in sight.
Goo!
Suddenly, a strange sound sounded in vain, it was the sound of swallowing saliva, it was clearly audible, as if it was ringing in everyone's ears, and even the heart made a dull vibration, and even the fierce battle of the three wizards in the sky was suppressed.
Subconsciously looking back, Gehr immediately saw an amazing scene.
I don't know when, the spell tower below and the surrounding buildings seemed to melt, turning into a white viscous liquid and slowly spreading around, and at this time, a huge hand suddenly stretched out from it, grabbed the three wizards above, swayed, and slammed it away, and actually dragged the three wizards directly into the white solution below.
The swiftness of the change made Luke, who was a wizard, not even let out a miserable howl, and was dragged into the seemingly endless white liquid and disappeared.
A large, silver-colored humanoid figure stood up from the white solution, its hollow eye sockets glistening with a rosy glow, as if containing two magnificent flames burning within.
I saw it stretch out its hand and grab the transparent sphere that had been fought over by the three wizards before and the light in his eye sockets was the same color, and suddenly countless white slime on the ground spread along its feet to its body, covering every part of its body, and in a short time, it turned from virtual to real, as if it had really become a real giant.
At this time, Gehr finally saw the true face of the white solution—it was a miserable white beetle, and he had seen this beetle not long ago!
Gell was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses, immediately took out the crystal that opened the portal, and pronounced the activation phrase as fast as he could.
The silver space portal appeared immediately, but as soon as it appeared, the portal began to flicker, as if it could disappear at any time, which was a sign of a violent vibration in the space, and there would be a great risk of passing through it at this time.
But Gell no longer cared about these risks, and rushed directly into the portal, because he had noticed that the giant might have been attracted by the energy fluctuations emitted by the spatial gate, and had already turned his attention to himself.
The last thing Gell saw before the scene changed was the image of the giant looking up and howling. (To be continued......)
