Mithril Hall sits in the middle of the Wizard's Tower complex, and in all of Leuhart, it happens to be the central meeting place of the east, west, north, and south meridians.

Legend has it that the wizard king of Gu Wanlun usually convened the wizard councilors of the major city-states of Wanlun in the Mithril Hall to discuss the development route of Wanlun, and more often, a large number of wizards would spontaneously gather here to discuss the latest witchcraft with each other.

It's a place where knowledge and wisdom are completely shared, and people share their experiences with each other.

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, every day and night, the Mithril Room is brightly lit. Some obsessive scholars will even put on some food and bedding, and when they are thirsty, they will take a sip of the water they carry with them, and when they are tired, they will sleep on the ground and wake up to continue to participate in the discussion.

Because of this enlightened atmosphere and atmosphere, Mithril Hall was regarded by the wizards of Gu Wanlun as a sacred place for witchcraft, and many sparks of wisdom burst out here. Legend has it that the master linguist who invented the Gulen language also completed the design of the original language template and model at the discussion table in the northeast corner of the Mithril Hall.

Lance could imagine that the master was completely immersed in his own worldly realm, and the whispers in his ears did not become a distraction for him. Instead, his heart calmed down because of the hustle and bustle of the place. Writing hard, or scratching your ears and cheeks, are all scenes that are often seen here.

Lance and Rorel wander through the empty Mithril Hall, the egg-shaped building surrounded by murals. They walked through the southern entrance, and on the left hand hand was a portrait of the first mate, introducing a wizard who had made a remarkable contribution to Gu Wanlun.

Wizard kings of the ages. In addition to this, there are most wizard avatars that have made special contributions to the witchcraft of Bandun. Underneath the avatar, there are lines of introductions written in lingua franca.

Lance approached the portrait of a gray-haired, but very handsome man, who suddenly spoke:

"Hey, kid, don't get in my way. ”

Lance was stunned, and he looked back to see that Rorel was behind him, sticking out his tongue at him.

"That's right. The handsome man smiled and said to Lorel, "Beautiful young lady." Can you invite me to dine with me tonight?"

Lorel shook his head and smiled, "I would like to agree." But you're just a painting. ”

"Well, it's true, who made me just a painting. ”

With that, the handsome young man was attached to the painting in peace. Motionless.

"It's magical. Lance exclaimed.

A simple photo or phonograph spell. He wouldn't have been surprised. But this man's avatar can still give a decent answer according to the current environment, which is not something that can be solved by some simple spells.

The witchcraft of Gu Wanlun. It's unfathomable.

He subconsciously moved closer and began to read the kid below.

[Name: Bileg. C. Otoum】

[Position: President of the Rainbow City Staircase Council]

"It's a bit of a coincidence, it's a bit of a coincidence......"

He thought so, who knew the content of the next line, but he couldn't help but be stunned-

[Contribution: Invented and perfected force field spells, author of "Bileg's Force"]

“...... Bileg Force Field Spell!"

Lance almost shouted out in surprise.

This seemingly cynical handsome guy is actually the ancient mage who founded the Bileg force field system!

"Hey, don't look at me like that, I'm not interested in men. ”

Under the gaze of Lance's fanatical gaze, Bileg's avatar looked a little uncomfortable, and he said unpleasantly.

Lance smiled dumbly: "I just admire your talent. I've studied some of the spells you invented. ”

"Of course. Bileg said triumphantly:

"In terms of force field research, even the Wizard King is not necessarily my opponent - of course, excluding the first generation of the Wizard King, that guy is a man who has eaten the fruits of time, and I don't have a high starting point like him;

"Really?" Lance asked, puzzled, "but why do I think this spell is of little use? After all, the advantage of the Hovering Hand is that it is long enough, but it can't do much damage. ”

"Stupid!" Bileg's avatar reprimanded, "This spell is combined with the Eye of Peeping, and it is to spy on the witch to take a bath...... No, it is the best way to spy on the enemy. ”

"It's so stupid. ”

With that, Bileg's avatar fell silent again, ignoring Lance. It's just that the young man in the portrait has a look of disdain in his eyes.

Lance and Lorel were silent.

"Let's go, let's go look elsewhere. Rorel's cheeks were crimson, and he said with a grin: "Actually, these seniors in the Mithril Hall, that is, Bileg, are a bit special, and the rest are quite good." ”

Lance nodded.

The two walked side by side, looking along the portrait gallery on the left.

As Rorel said, most of the wizard avatars here are silent, and their expressions are very serious, especially the previous wizard kings, whose eyes are extremely sharp, although they are portraits, but they also make people dare not look at them.

It seems that Bileg is indeed an outlier even among the wizards of Gu Wanlun.

After looking at more than fifty portraits, Lance also had a certain understanding of the wizards of Gu Wanlun. And from the introduction of their lives, it is not difficult to see how far the wizarding civilization of Gu Wanlun has developed under the rule of Rodriguez.

The portrait was followed by a large group portrait. The screen shows a large group of wizards gathered in various corners of the Mithril Hall, discussing some issues.

In one of the paintings, several wizards of all ages are refining and improving the structure of a spell rune, each with their own design scheme, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. No one could convince anyone, and even fought in the end, and the four of them had blue noses and swollen faces. After the fight, they continued to discuss normally, then argued, and then rolled up their sleeves and started their hands......

Lance was full of emotion when he watched such a cycle.

The atmosphere of witchcraft at that time was really good.

And from this painting, you can also see the biggest difference between the current wizards and the wizards of Gu Wanlun.

That's in the study of spell runes!

Modern wizards do not pay attention to the analysis of the rune infrastructure at all, but only forcibly analyze and memorize the runes. Recite and memorize the runes according to the text. Some second-level wizards don't even know a few basic units of runes.

And the wizard of Gu Wanlun. However, he has a deep understanding of the basic units of spell runes. They will design all kinds of runes on their own, and although the effect of these runes may not be very good, their innovation ability is far greater than that of today's wizards.

In this respect, Lance is thanks to the presence of the fox. It saved him a lot of energy. It can also make a summary and analysis of the basic units of runes in the process of learning spell runes. The base unit of each rune. There's something inherent to it that's there. It is precisely because of this that Lance was able to design the spell [Magic Flying Needle] during the wizard's apprenticeship stage.

Although until now, the magic flying needle is too powerful. It has gradually been eliminated by him, but what Lance has experienced and learned in the design process is very valuable and will accompany him for the rest of his life.

"If it weren't for the fox, I'd be no different from other wizards. ”

Lance shook his head inwardly.

The two quickened their pace and walked past the group portrait painting.

By this time, they had bypassed a quarter of the Mithril Hall and reached the east entrance.

In addition to the frescoes on the walls and the dome of the sky, in the center of the Mithril Room are open round tables and long tables, with chairs arranged next to them.

According to Lance's sight, if every table was filled, the Mithril Hall would hold at least eight or nine hundred wizards underground!

Not to mention, when Gu Wanlun was at his peak, there were still many people sitting or lying down in the Mithril Hall. The Wizard King does not turn away wizards who want to enter the Mithril Hall, and the place is only locked down for a period of time when important meetings are held.

"The previous record is about the birth of Gu Wanlun and ancient humans, I have seen it before, and it is very shocking......"

Rorel said softly as he walked with Lance.

Lance looked at the mural over there, but was slightly stunned:

"I've seen these murals. ”

"Seen it?" said Rorel, a little surprised.

"Hmm. Lance nodded, the frescoes in front of him were almost identical to those he had seen in the Upanishads, but the only difference was-

The murals here are more complete and even draw the final ending!

Lance's eyes lit up, and he immediately strode towards the mural at the end.

"What's wrong?" Lorrell immediately followed, and the girl asked in surprise.

Lance said casually: "Well, in fact, I have only seen part of it, and I haven't seen the ending, and I'm still quite curious about this ending." ”

The two walked briskly to the last few murals, and Lance finally got the ending he wanted-

The Wizard King summoned the six most loyal men, gave them each of the six magic swords, and then instructed them a few things.

Despite the resistance of his subordinates, he used the portal to expel six of his subordinates from Gu Wanlun, and left alone in Loy Hart, preparing for a decisive battle with the Grand Puppeteer.

The outcome of the battle was extremely tragic, and the strength of the Great Puppet Division had swelled to a terrifying extent, and it was on a par with Rodriguez.

The two fought fiercely for a long time, and in the course of the battle, Rodriguez used a total of nineteen legendary spells!

These nineteen legendary spells, all of which are earth-shattering super sorcery, represent the highest achievement of sorcery in this plane.

Under the bombardment of these nineteen legendary spells, the Great Puppet Master was finally defeated.

But the puppet beasts that ravaged Gu Wanlun like a plague would not stop them.

In order to solve this human tragedy once and for all, among the nineteen spells, there is a compound spell that is to permanently expel Gu Wanlun's puppet beast. The other spell is to temporarily detach Gu Wanlun from the orbit near Creeland and sink into the darker lower planes. Lance estimated. This was a reluctant move by Rodriguez to prevent the puppet beasts from further invading the Kreeland plane.

It is precisely because of this that the Gate of Upanishads would tell Lance before that for a long time, he would not be able to sense Gu Wanlun's existence. Because for more than a thousand years, the half-plane of Guwanlun has been orbiting higher and farther away. All this is the result of Rodriguez's witchcraft.

And in the process, Lance also saw the resistance of the Great Puppeteer. He used his most powerful Void Puppet to snatch a fragment of Gu Wanlun from the Wizard King's hands!

That piece of debris was left in orbit closer to the Kreeland plane.

That's the Puppet City.

"There is the ghost of Princess Hiro in the puppet city, and after the great puppeteer became a legend, he tried his best to gather her soul. Infuse her into a puppet that will never be destroyed. Lorel's voice rang in Lance's ears: "And in the hands of Princess Hiro." There is a treasure that is the key to Guwanlun. ”

"Magic dolls?" Lance had guessed.

"It's a magic doll, indeed. Rorel looked directly at Lance: "That is, the last time you entered the puppet city, the mission issued by the three major wizarding organizations. In fact, behind the tasks released by these three wizarding organizations, it is just controlled by our six major families. In the end, it was Christine from the Apocalypse family who got the magic doll. With the efforts of the Apocalypse family. They were also among the first to arrive in Leuhart. We are the Conse family. Still behind them. ”

Lance nodded, but seeing this, the doubts in his heart were not reduced. Christine gets the magic doll from Princess Hiro. The problem is, Princess Hiro is the great puppeteer's lover......

The rest of the story is concentrated in a mural.

Rodriguez defeated the Grand Puppeteer, killing him physically and extracting his soul. The two were entangled with each other, and sank into the vast darkness with the entire Gu Wanlun.

After that, there is a large blank wall. It is worth mentioning that in these paintings, the faces of the wizard king and the great puppeteer are not realistic, but replaced with some simple lines, so it is not clear what they look like at all. In the previous portraits, Lance did not find the appearance of the last wizard king.

This is a big doubt.

"It's a sad story. Rorel sighed lowly: "The destruction of the entire Wanlun turned out to be because of a young couple who were broken up......"

"But fortunately, Vanlun's glory will soon be restored. The resurrection of the Witch King will surely lead us to expel the Underworld people of Ferendor. ”

She said, turning her back.

Lance's attention was attracted by the blank wall on the side.

He walked over slowly, gently touching the wall with his right hand.

There was no movement.

"Lance...... I'm really happy to meet you here. The girl turned her back to him and said in a low voice.

Lance snorted, not paying attention, still looking at the stone wall intently.

He had a special feeling, a throbbing from the depths of his heart, as if there was something vital behind this wall.

At the same time, the flower in his left hand began to get hot.

"What's wrong with Offie?" asked Lance inwardly.

There was a snoring sound from the magic sword Aoye, and it was obvious that this guy was still asleep.

If it's not him, why does this pattern get hot?

Lance froze and pressed his left hand against the wall.

......

Lorel clasped his hands together, lowered his head, and said quietly:

"Actually, you really don't have to hide it from me. I already know that you're the hooded man, aren't you?"

Lance was slightly stunned, and responded vaguely, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. Anyway, at this time, even if you admit that you are a hooded man, it is nothing. Ferendor has been conquered by the Hades, and his identity is no longer so important.

There was a hint of joy in Lorel's voice: "You're finally willing to tell me the truth." ”

"Outside that canyon that day, thank you for saving me. ”

"Nothing. ”

Lance forced a smile, and at that moment, his eyes widened.

Because just after he pressed his left hand on the stone wall, a line of small words appeared on the stone wall:

I'm Rodriguez, whoever you are, press your left hand on that poppy on it! 】

Lance's gaze subconsciously shifted to the top of the stone, only to see that above the stone wall, there was indeed a bright poppy.

"Rodriguez?" Lance felt his head a little sluggish, and he couldn't react at once.

Still, he quickly pressed his left hand to the poppy.

At this time, Rorel said as if he had made up his mind:

"Lance, I want to tell you something......"

In the next second, before Lance could open his mouth to respond to her, his whole body was attracted by a huge force and silently merged into the stone wall!

"I seem to like you a little bit......"

The girl turned abruptly, plucked up her courage, and said so.

Behind her, however, was a large empty patch. There was not a single figure to be seen.

"Lance?" the girl said.

She looked around in a hurry, but she couldn't see Lance in the entire Mithril Hall.

A deep sense of loss flashed in Lorel's eyes: "What about the people?

"Who are you talking to, my dearest fiancée. ”

Behind her, a disgusting voice came from the background.

Rorel turned around and saw a dwarf no more than four feet three tall, with a look of impatience on his face: "It doesn't matter who I'm talking to. ”

"Ungrateful woman!"

The dwarf said angrily, "Don't forget who lent you a helping hand when you were in the most danger, and who spent a lot of magic stones to save your mother!

"Not anymore. Lorel, who was already upset, said coldly: "I really appreciate your help, so I will return the magic stone you paid for me three times as much." ”

"But our engagement has been cancelled. ”

With that, she threw the ring to the dwarf, and turned to walk away quickly. (To be continued......)
