"Who is he, and why is he buried here?" Lannie looked up at the glittering crystal lattice, her expression very focused.

It is of course strange that such a pink little boy is hidden in such a terrifying demon cave, and it is contained in a strange crystal coffin.

"Hmm, is it a test subject of Helast's black robe?" Arnell stroked his chin and made a simple but reasonable guess.

Penny nodded, this is a matter of course, and only a wizard would make such a strange move, he took a brief look at this crystal coffin, this small platform, it seems that it is indeed the center of the mountain, he can feel the huge life source power in the sky constantly converging towards the green crystal, and flowing towards the crystal coffin, which makes him have some speculations in his heart.

Obviously, Hylast had designed a large-scale experiment here, as evidenced by the remnants of the magic circle that was still emitting light around the platform, but what was his purpose?

The little boy didn't have any breath of life on his body, just like a dead corpse, but the vast life source power on the green crystal was constantly sent into the crystal coffin, but this little boy was like a black hole, any bit of source power was not in it, and it was sucked dry at a very fast speed.

It seemed to be cultivating something, but Penny thought that Helast didn't seem to have completed the experiment.

It's no secret that the cause of the mad mage's death was a runaway magical experiment, and if this is really where the mad mage conducts his experiments, then the ruined platforms around it clearly speak for itself.

The experiment was halted by the accidental death of the mad mage.

Then this little boy in the crystal coffin is probably the unfinished work of Hylast's black robe.

Penny had no intention of exploring why Helast's black robes were, the most important thing to him was the green crystal on the crystal coffin, which was obviously part of Isil Aaron - the resonance of the two crystals in his hand undoubtedly told Penny this, and if he could get it in his hands, it would further stop the uninvited guest in his head from having another convulsion at some point.

"Hey, bastard, you haven't told me what you're looking for in the mad mage's lair?" interrupted Penny's long silence, and Lanny tugged at his hair impatiently.

The wizard shook his head, pulled his hair with a helpless expression, and pointed to the green crystal on the crystal coffin: "That's it." ”

He had hoped to get information about the 'Grave Keeper' in the black-robed relics, so that he would be able to find the ruins of Imaska scattered across the multiverse, and of course, there was a higher chance that he would get more fragments of Isil Aaron.

While he doesn't have much interest in this great secret, which has aroused the hatred of the ancient gods, he does need a proven plan to curb the forces that he cannot control.

But the results are much better than expected.

A ready-made Imasca crystal appeared here, saving a lot of effort.

"Then go take it down and get out of here. Lannie frowned, thinking of the disgusting and horrible bug, and pimples all over her body, eager to leave this eerie place immediately.

"Can't be in a hurry. Penny shook his head and leaned over to perform a trick.

This trick is a summoning spell that belongs to the spell system, and can only summon some small animals such as rabbits and mice, and there are often bards who perform acrobatics to perform tricks such as pulling rabbits out of their hats, and this spell is often applied.

Now Penny cast this spell for another purpose, a rabbit responded to his call and appeared in the depths of this eerie dungeon, and before he could jump a few times, both ears were grabbed by a sinful palm, and the arm of that hand flicked, the rabbit screamed and flew into the sky.

The four people watched the rabbit fly to a height about the same height as the crystal coffin, and the space around the green crystal suddenly began to distort, and Penny's nerves trembled, and he noticed that the originally stable life source power suddenly boiled like a tsunami, and the rabbit let out a scream, and its whole body evaporated silently in the huge torrent of life source power, leaving only a cloud of pale red vapor.

"Oh my God. Lannie looked straight at the green crystal that had regained its calm again, "It seems that it is not easy to get it. ”

"Whew, expert, do you think you can get it?" Anel patted Penny, "I feel a little difficult. ”

He let out a series of dry laughs.

Although the level of arcane magic was very lame, as a bard of rough spells, he could still sense such a violent boiling of source power, and in his perception, the power generated by this source power fluctuation was far greater than that of real thunder, like lava bursting when a volcano erupted, fierce and unstoppable.

What's even more frightening is that the effect of this force is the shock of the life source force, and it seems that it is difficult for ordinary protective magic sequences to resist this friction.

And this disturbance also made the originally calm platform appear hideous, and the pale red gas gradually dispersed, as if dyeing the life source force with color, and a few people could clearly see that the green crystal was in the air, viscous as lava-like life source power.

In the thin area below, this source power bubbled and tumbled one after another, like a pot of boiling water suspended and inverted, and directly above the turquoise crystals, there was a clearly visible whirlpool.

Penny was still silent, he stared at the crystal coffin motionlessly, not knowing if it was an illusion, just when the green crystal was disturbed, the corner of the little boy's eye in the coffin seemed to move.

Is he alive?

"My lord, I can actually knock it down. Nephis assembled an oversized barrel and stepped forward to quietly suggest.

"Don't do that. Penny waved his hand: "The life source power here is balanced by that crystal, once it is disturbed, the consequences are very serious, if the life source power in this is completely out of control and riots, none of us will survive." ”

Nephies stuck out her little tongue and took the dick back again. Penny frowned, it seemed that the little girl's violent tendencies were getting worse and worse.

"So what are we going to do?"

"Completing or completely aborting this ritual can dispel these source forces. The mage said, "Or we can search this place and find the research materials of the black robe of Hylast." ”

"Finish or stop completely?" Nephes bit her fingers and looked at the little boy lying on his back in the crystal coffin with two eyes, "My lord, what will happen to him?"

"How do I know?" the mage shrugged, "Maybe it will be destroyed." ”

The boy was clearly not an ordinary human, but more like a magical creature from the hands of the black robes of Helast, and if the experiment was aborted or wrongly completed, Penny could do nothing.

This was what he really thought, but as he said this, he raised his voice very loudly, while secretly paying attention to the face in the crystal coffin.

Sure enough, as he said this, the eyelids on that face fluttered again, which undoubtedly fulfilled some of the thoughts in the wizard's heart, but before he could continue to act, there was a soft sound from a hole not far away, and he rolled to the side with his cleverness, and a red light slid over his shoulder and fell on the stone behind him, which was shattered in a shroud of light, which made everyone on the platform raise their guard.

Penny looked at the masked black-robed man who appeared in the cave, a spellcaster who could use dissociation, it was obviously not easy to deal with, not to mention that this person also had a few monsters and a dozen ghosts and walking corpses with teeth and claws.

And more sounds of steel came from the ruins on all sides into the ears of the four people on the platform, and more metal golems rose from the ruins, although more or less damaged, but the shiny shells and hard fists undoubtedly told the adventurer that these guys were not easy to handle at all.

Lanny drew her greatsword, Nepher pulled out the big pipe that had killed the red dragon again, and Arnell prepared her bow and arrow in the midst of a flick of her eyelids.

Penny didn't rush to use force, but turned to the crystal coffin:

"Wait, I know you're awake, and I know you're in control here, so we have something to say. ”

His words stopped the metal golems and the multitude of monsters.

Nephis, Lannie, and Arnell's eyes fell on the crystal coffin again.

After a depressive silence, it was the wizard who came out of the cave who spoke succinctly: "...... Where you came from and where you are going. ”

The voice was hoarse.

"It's a shame we can't go home empty-handed. The mage ignored the warning, "Besides, it seems a bit difficult to cast teleportation magic from this place. ”

"Casting difficult teleportation magic is better than death. The masked wizard waved his hand, and the necromancers beside him screamed again, "Or maybe you wish to join them." ”

"Of course we don't want to join them, but I have to warn you. The wizard shrugged his shoulders and took a step to the left, standing next to the pillar where the crystal coffin was placed: "Obviously, I am closer to you than your subordinates, and it is easy to disrupt the rituals here. ”

"You dare to threaten your lordship. Although the masked wizard said angry content, his tone was still a little cold and gloomy, and there seemed to be no emotion at all, and his eyes were gray and lifeless, more like some form of puppet.

Perhaps, as Penny had guessed, it was the mysterious boy in the crystal coffin who was speaking through his mouth.

"It's not a threat, it's that it's hard for me to keep myself safe, you have to understand my situation, it's not easy to find here. The mage spread his hands, "I deserve something." ”

The masked wizard was silent for a long time, and Penny didn't panic, because he noticed that the monsters didn't make any further movements, which showed that the other party was seriously considering his suggestion.

"Greedy guy, oh, I don't know how many people have died in this place because of greed for thousands of years, well, you can talk about it, I hope your greed won't invite you death. ”

Penny shook his head, "Don't say that, maybe I can help you." ”

"Help me?" As if hearing something funny, the masked wizard let out a completely ineffective sneer.

"Whatever your relationship with the original owner here, I can perceive that this is a failed experiment, and you have to be trapped in this crystal coffin because of this mutilated experiment, right?" Penny knocked on the stone pillar.

"Finish this experiment??hmm, I think you're stupid, boy. "He' let out a sneer again through the masked wizard's mouth, "You're as weak as an ant, and you have the guts to step into such a delicate experiment?, well, don't dream about you, I can give you some good, get out of here now." ”

"Not necessarily. Penny shook his head: "It's just that the magic array connected to the crystal has changed due to shock, causing all the input life source power to accumulate around the magic array, and gradually turning into that crystal coffin, although this body is partially rejuvenated, but it has not succeeded in reviving him, I think only a little transformation of it can solve your troubles." ”

Penny wasn't talking nonsense, he had just observed for a while, and he did see some rules of operation of the magical power at the top of this stone pillar, and with some information, he might really be able to fix this experiment.

"A little bit of a makeover? You're so obsessed, but for your more sane sake, I can tell you that it's impossible, and you should know what happens here if it happens the slightest bit too much. His voice was still unimpressed.

Penny wanted to continue trying to persuade, but heard a nice voice with two mockings coming from the top of the crystal coffin: "Hmm~ This is not difficult to guess at all, if you touch it, everything here will be crushed into steam by the boiling life source power, huh?" ”

This abrupt voice drew everyone's attention to the sky above the crystal coffin.

Since the appearance of the masked wizard, the crystal coffin has changed, and the attention of Penny, Nefez, Lanny, and Arnell has been focused on this conversation, and they have no time to care about other places, when they raise their heads, only to see the blue figure that has just said goodbye appear high above the crystal coffin, standing above the green crystal.

It was full of boiling life power, and even with protective magic, it would quickly be crushed by the incredible weight there, but the woman's robe was surrounded by a faint layer of flames, and the light of the fire was a dull silver-gray color, like a shadow.

"The 'shadow fire' that belongs to the Lost Lady Elect!" the well-informed bard immediately blurted out the name of the flame.

This powerful supernatural power from the gods was naturally able to do many things that the mid-level arcane could not do, and the violently rolling life source power came into contact with this layer of flames, like boiling oil poured with cold water, emitting patches of dim vapor, but it made the figure of the woman in blue even more hazy.

"Well, thank you for your guidance, which saved me a lot of detours, but now we have to say goodbye, sir, I said we were not done, but it should be done now. ”

She leaned over and winked at Penny, her blue eyes.

Under the roars of the masked wizard and the monsters, and the gaze of the four Pennies, the slender and white hand, which could see the faint blood vessels through the skin from a considerable distance, picked up the green crystal, and with a faint flame in the chuckle, it went up into the turbid life source vortex and disappeared.

A few spells struck the clearing, and the masked wizard's desperate howl echoed through the room.

A low roar came from above and landed on the platform, echoing like the roar of an abyssal beast, and cold sweat crawled all over Penny's forehead for a moment.
