Port Prieze, inside a warehouse under reconstruction.

After a few days, Forth met his teacher Dorian Gray Abraham again.

"Are you ready?" asked Dorian in a deep voice.

In the previous meeting, he had already told Firth about the ritual requirements of the "Apprentice" path sequence 4 "Mystic Mage", and asked her to prepare in advance.

"Almost...... I should be able to meet the requirements......" Furth replied not too confidently.

The ascension ceremony of the "Mystic Mage" was relatively simple, but this "simple" was the opposite of "complex" rather than the other end of "difficult", and for Firth, she would prefer something else.

- The ritual requires the promoter to seal a demigod-level, clearly hostile creature, the more external forces are used, the better the ritual effect, as for the target itself, as long as it is not lower than the demigod, it is fine, and it will not affect the ritual in substance.

Hearing the student's answer, Dorian bowed his head lightly:

"That's pretty much it, that ritual is really too difficult for a Sequence 5 Extraordinary person who purely relies on himself, and it is essential to ask for help appropriately, but it must be grasped to a good degree, and it cannot exceed the corresponding boundary, otherwise the ritual will definitely fail. ”

The advice he had given to Foerth before was to borrow only a "Grade 1" seal, and it was best not to even ask for a Sage-level helper.

Forth said slightly vaguely:

"I'm only going to make a wish to Mr. 'Fool' to increase the success rate of promotion after taking potions, which is closer to getting a good fortune when taking potions than being blessed when sealing that demigod creature.

"Except for that, it's the painting you mentioned, teacher. ”

That painting is not a "0" level seal "God's Scroll", but a "1" level seal belonging to the Abraham family, called "Demon Oil Painting".

In the Quaternary Age, when many members of the Abraham family were promoted to Sequence 4 "Arcane Mages", they created that "oil painting" to seal the corresponding demigod-level creatures.

However, after being attacked by the Aurora Society and losing a lot of information, Dorian Gray didn't know exactly how many terrifying creatures were still sealed in the "Demon Painting", only there must be more, and more than one.

His original plan was to release a demigod-level creature that had gone completely crazy and acted entirely on instinct from the "Demon Oil Painting" as the student's ritual goal, which was many times easier than dealing with a rational and wise sage, and it fully met the requirements of the ceremony, but he didn't expect that Foirth was actually going to borrow the "Demon Oil Painting" directly.

Dorian reminded with a slight frown:

"The 'Demon Painting' itself only has a charge and seal effect, and does not have the ability to actively influence the target, in other words, you have to stuff demigod-level creatures into the 'Demon Painting' yourself. ”

Furth nodded, indicating that he knew this:

"Teacher, you said that your ability to 'record' is not an external help. ”

"Yes. Dorian Gray replied with great certainty.

If the ability to "record" oneself is regarded as external help, then almost no "traveler" can be promoted, after all, "record" is the core ability of the "apprentice" path to the demigod, once it is "abolished", Furth is almost only left to run, run, and it is difficult to do anything to the enemy.

"Theoretically, that's true, but the most demigod-level abilities you can record are four or five......" Dorian said uncomfortingly.

Before he could finish speaking, he thought of the "fool" and his favorite, and his heart calmed down a little.

"If it is well matched, it is not impossible to succeed, it is just a crazy creature with instinct. "Forthth is convincing both the teacher and himself.

Dorian nodded invisibly, didn't say anything more, and immediately summoned his contract creature, Malmos, who loved music, took back the main materials and auxiliary materials of the "Mystic", and prepared a bottle of "Mystic" potions for the students on the spot.

"If you can't complete the seal, you don't have to force it to ingest, and even if the potion and the glass bottle are mixed and turned into a seal, you can restore it to its extraordinary properties by praying to Mr. Fool. Still a little uneasy, Dorian admonished, and handed the potion to Firth.

Inside the glass bottle, there were layers of starlight, as if the Milky Way in the sky had been contained in a potion.

"Hmm. Foirth nodded heavily, indicating that he would not worry about the potions being wasted.

She had already made a plan in advance, that is, once the released demigod-level creatures could not be sealed, she would immediately "teleport" away, and make a wish to Mr. "Fool" and ask him to solve it.

Dorian then took out an oil painting from the suitcase in his hand, which depicted one rather abstract and incomprehensible pattern after another, which could make people dizzy, nauseous, and mentally weak just by looking at it for a while.

This is the "Demon Painting" that seals countless terrifying creatures.

"If you can make it to the top of the list, I have only one request. Dorian took the "Devil's Painting" and said solemnly to Furth, "That is, on a full moon night, listen to what Mr. 'Gate' is saying, and ask him why he did it." ”

The members of Abraham's family have not yet been able to fully accept that the curse they suffered came from the family ancestors, and they feel that Mr. "Gate" may not be aware of the consequences of his "cry for help".

They are desperate to get to the bottom of the whole thing.

"Good. In the face of the teacher's plea, Furth agreed without hesitation.

Then, she took the "demon painting" and "teleported" out of the port of Plitz to the vast desert where there were no human beings.

In this way, even if there is an accident in the ritual, she will have plenty of time to solve it and it will not affect ordinary people.

After inspecting the surrounding scene and his own preparations, Firth inserted the "Demon Painting" into the ground.

She immediately clasped her hands and bowed her head to pray to Mr. "Fool", making a wish that after taking the potion, the success rate of promotion would increase.

Barely after that, she saw the illusory gray mist, and knew that Mr. Fool had responded.

After a few seconds of delay, Firth finally overcame himself, took out the pre-mixed herbal powders, and sprinkled them on the "Demon Painting".

Then, in the language of the giants, she recited the unsealed incantation.

It's a spell that casts one creature at a time.

Silently, all the fluttering herbal powders fell on the oil painting, and spun rapidly around a point.

As it rotates, the surface of the painting becomes illusory, as if there is also a deep vortex being created.

Suddenly, a blue-black hand with many signs of decay poked out of the "whirlpool".

It stretches out from the inside of the painting!

Furth's body suddenly became cold, as if he had fallen into a lake that had cracked open after the ice had been frozen.

This made her clear mind, and at the same time, she seemed to lose the sense of her body, and no matter how hard she tried to move her hands and feet, she could not succeed.

At this moment, Furth seemed to return to the way she used to be when she wrote books at night and slept during the day, when she often felt that she had woken up, but she couldn't move, as if she was being crushed by invisible creatures.

Although the terrifying creature in the "Demon Oil Painting" has not yet been completely freed, just by virtue of the influence of divinity on the outside world, Foirth has lost most of its resistance power, and when it is completely out of the oil painting, Foirth will even lose control by looking directly at it.

The gap between the two sides is, in a way, unimaginably large.

Gradually, Firth's consciousness blurred a little, always feeling that she was awake, raised her arms, and stepped away, but in a flash, she found that it was just her own fantasy, and her body became colder and colder, and the feeling of being pressed by invisible creatures became more and more obvious.

Luckily, she had a bunch of demigods to provide her with information, so that she closed her eyes in time and didn't look at the "Demon Painting" again, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Using the technique of meditation to maintain a certain level of sobriety, Firth began to count down internally.

- According to Mr. World's prompt, she knew that it would take five seconds for the terrifying creature to completely break away from the "Demon Painting".

4...... 3...... 2...... With a second left in the clock, an illusory book appeared in Furth's eyes, and it flipped quickly and froze on one of the pages.

1! As soon as Furth finished counting, he suddenly opened his arms.

Around her, peach blossoms fell instantly, bright and colorful.

The blue-black palm that was about to grasp her neck suddenly moved away from her, blocked by a peach forest of lush vegetation and flowers, cut off by the mountain peak at the end of the water source in the forest, and could only try to peek out from a small cave.

This is the fairy tale magic that Furth "recorded" from the "Hermit" lady, called:

"The source of peach blossoms!"

It creates an enchantment that is cut off from the outside world and difficult to connect.

Seizing this opportunity, Furth, who had barely regained control of his body, took out a "queen" piece from Russell's chess from his hidden pocket and threw it towards the source of the peach blossoms, to the cave that ran through the flowing water.

Here's another fairy tale magic she "recorded" called:

"The chess game of the years!"

It works by slowing down the target's movements, as if entering an area with a different speed of time.

Bang, as the "Queen" chess fell, the blue-black palm that was trying to break through the barrier of the "Peach Blossom Spring" suddenly turned from an outward probe to a wriggling.

Furth didn't even look at the effect, and with an "invisible hand" he picked up the "Demon Painting" inserted in the sand and blocked it towards the cave.

That is, after an interval of one or two seconds, the blue-black palm returned to normal, and its movements became extremely fast, rushing directly out of the Peach Blossom Spring, crashing into the oil painting.

As the painting shook, the terrifying creature pierced through the surface and fell in.

Firth was overjoyed, and without hesitation, he recited the incantation again, closing the outer seal of the "Demon Oil Painting".

Fortunately, the demigod creature just now has been locked up out of control, leaving only madness and no intelligence...... I don't know if I will hear Mr. "Gate" directly after taking the potion...... Still tense, Firth took out the bottle of "Mystic" potion and poured it into his mouth.
