Penny was in the shade of a tree, his form between exposed and unexposed, but fortunately it wasn't too close to the excavation site, and he deliberately avoided the incredibly powerful apprentices, so he was still in a relatively safe position.

He pinched the disorganized Patyak Pivot, and hesitantly began to consider the reason for the change in this thing.

The last time it had a mutation, it was in the ruins of the ancient empire, and that was because the ancient guardian inspired it through the power of the ruins, but this time it had this change, and why?

Could it be that this research institute of Nessreel is actually related to another ancient empire far east of Faerun?

Penny channeled a spell to suppress the movement of the Pivot of Patyak with arcane arts, and after the initial intensity, the Nexus was now under his control again, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and cautiously approached the pit that was being dug again, this time it was much clearer than what he had just seen, and he was now able to see Captain Debino of the Gun Squid, an old acquaintance, and now he was digging in the pit shirtless like an ordinary laborer, his first mate and crew gathered around him, just like the other laborers。

At this moment, several bright lights in the center of the crater attracted his attention, and he saw several figures wrapped in black robes appear in it, and in the center was a young man wrapped in a long black dress.

The only young man who showed his face surprised Penny, because he couldn't feel any power in this completely ghostly person whose face was dark and gray, and the only thing that made him wary was that the magic net and source force took on a strange twisted form beside him.

It barely took much judgment for him to know that this seemingly young man was a shadow prince.

This handsome appearance is exactly what is described in the information.

Penny stood a few steps back vigilantly, as he saw the shadow prince begin to scan his surroundings, apparently accustomed to observing the environment.

"Haven't dug to the end yet?" he said, his voice soft, his white gloves slightly raised, giving the impression of being polite.

Even if it is to his own servants, this ghost prince will not show a disrespectful attitude.

"My lord, it's almost there. An old man with a gray face who lowered his hood bowed and replied, "The land here is sealed by strange magical powers, and it is difficult to break through the rock formations with spells, so I have to use this stupid method." ”

"Stupid methods? What works is a good way. Brainers shook his head: "Tell these laborers to get out of the way first, I'll see if I can speed up the progress, this seal doesn't seem to be difficult for me." ”

As he spoke, the source power around him writhed strangely, and Penny stepped back again, knowing that the nobles of the ancient empire were about to cast spells.

The old man and his servants commanded the laborers out of the pit, Brainus's body floated high, mysterious incantations sparkling around his body like a tangible substance, and the huge source power fluctuations made Penny feel terrified dozens of yards away.

He knew that the level of spells that the powerful spellcasters of this ancient empire were going to cast must not be low.

At this point, a tempting thought arose in his mind - perhaps a spell should be used to counteract the spell that the Nether Prince was using.

He shook his head and put away the delusion, this legendary mage's methodology had not fallen into his hands, and if he went berserk, he would kill someone.

However, someone took the lead in implementing his plan to cut it in half.

Just as the spell power around the Yin Prince was surging to its peak, a light flew out from the pile of hard labor next to it, and landed on the powerful magic power outside the Yin Prince's body, and suddenly it was like a spark falling on a powder keg, and the formed mana immediately spread out like an explosion, and Brenas let out a scream of rage, but he was disgraced in a series of explosions.

Spell power collapse can cause serious damage to a mage, even if he is a legendary-level spellcaster.

"Intruder!" all the shadow mages pointed their fingers at the group of slaves from the source of the light in an instant, and the guards next to them had already fired a large number of arrows indiscriminately, and the mages had already begun to cast spells.

A large number of arrows fell in the laborers, and suddenly swept down like mowing grass, these laborers seemed to have lost most of their consciousness, and even if they were shot in the fatal place, they only let out a few indistinct calls, which made one of the sinister smirks clear, and before the mages could cast their spells, a shadow jumped out of it, and a large number of blurred shadows radiated towards the casters.

Penny's eyelids formed into a slit, and through a few bits of light, he saw that it was a sharp dart.

The shadow mage obviously didn't expect that the lurker who could cast spells would use this kind of weapon, and he fell off guard, only a few powerful mages were able to guide the spell under the protection of the shield, but when these spells fell on the assassin, he let out a strange laugh, and his body twisted, as if hiding in the shadows to avoid this attack, and at this time, the ground of the pit had begun to glow strangely.

Penny felt the movement of the ground, and it seemed that Brenus's incomplete channeling spell was still working.

The seal was partially broken.

The assassin's body flickered out of the shadows, and his body scurried, as if half of his body was about to melt into this light, but in the next moment, he was shrouded in a dark shadow, as if he was embedded in the center of the ground by a cage.

This brought his form to a standstill—before that, he had either hidden in the crowd, or moved quickly, or hidden into the shadows, without stopping for a moment, and certainly not showing his appearance, and now the people around him seemed to be able to see his face.

This is a middle-aged man who is dressed a little strangely, I can't tell how old he is, a pair of eyelids are as dark as a dead gray, and he has a bald head that makes Penny feel very familiar, but there are no tattoos on this bald head, and other than that, his appearance is very inconspicuous, and he can't attract the slightest attention in the crowd, but the dead gray complexion looks a little awkward.

The shadow that imprisoned the Assassin stretched out from his palm, and Brainus watched the intruder very carefully, frowning, and even then, maintaining a polite tone.

You know, because of a dangerous spell rampage, his face has become even grayer, and the Yin Spirit will not vomit blood, but you can see that his complexion is slightly more transparent than it was just now.

This can already be judged that he has suffered a lot of injuries.

He asked the Assassin, "Well, this uninvited guest, can you tell me where you came from, oh, please forgive me for being rude, but you have to give me an explanation, I haven't seen that organization train this kind of assassin to assassinate me." ”

"Assassinate you?" the Assassin let out a dry sneer, his laughter full of sarcasm, and at the same time, it was the first time he spoke in his hoarse voice, "Don't put gold on your face, Yin Prince, you are not qualified to let me assassinate you." ”

"Not qualified?" Brenas touched his nose a little dumbly, noticing the assassin's thighs that were half submerged in the ground, and nodded: "Okay, so you have a fancy for what is down here, this gentleman, I have to say ......"

He frowned, "This is something from the Nethrel Empire, but you dare to rob it from me, it's really rude, in order to defend our country's property and punish the thieves, I have to turn you into a skeleton." ”

"If you can do it. The assassin had a very strange smile on his face again, and in a moment of consternation for Brenas he disappeared into the center of the shadow ban, and the Netherworld Prince raised his eyebrows, as if in disbelief.

"Your Highness...... This ......"

"We've got to chase it. Brainers held up a finger: "No matter where this man comes from, he can't be allowed to destroy the remnants of the Empire." ”

"What should we do?" asked the old man, bowing down.

"You go and keep the island barrier running, and I'll go down and pursue it myself. ”

"Okay, Your Highness, please be careful. The old man bowed respectfully again: "This assassin is unusually dangerous. ”

Such an assassin who is good at hiding in the shadows, is extremely fast, and knows how to use spells, is indeed too dangerous.

The vast majority of Faeron spellcasters are not good at using spells to fight, and even if there are occasional spellcasters who are good at fighting, such as some legendary mages - their long lives and experience like the abyss often make them know how to fight with spells, but even so, they are still dwarfed by some characters who have been specially trained to be killing machines.

Judging from the experience that the Assassin had just given the old wizard, he was definitely not an easy character to deal with.

"He doesn't have the ability to deal with me, otherwise he would have killed all of us, and you can't stop him with your strength, you don't need to doubt that. Brainers gracefully pulled out his white gloves, waved the dust on them, and frowned with some dissatisfaction: "I shouldn't imprison him with shadow spells, it seems that some habits are really bad, he has obviously undergone some training related to shadow power." Okay, I'll go down and watch the enchantment on the island. ”

"Yes. The old man bowed and said.

Brainus's figure flickered for a moment, and then vanished in place.

The old man ordered a group of guards and the apprentices guarding the excavation site to be on guard, and then left with a few assistants.

The light in the distance formed a huge magic array, the pattern in the center rotated, and the strong light in the center was bottomless, as if the door had been opened.

Penny began to hesitate to follow up.

A relic of an ancient Neseriel, which may also have something to do with Imasca.

However, a ghost prince and an assassin with a mysterious origin have entered the following, and it has to be said that it is very risky to rush in.

But after only a slight hesitation, he opened the invisibility ring and walked over.

There are potential risks, but of course there are also greater benefits.

Shielding out all scouting, he crossed the aperture, only to feel a slight shaking, and then his vision was clear again.

It was a spacious hall, and at the foot was a magic circle of the same style as the one on the ground, and on all sides of the hall, there was a magic door woven of light, and there was no text or sign on it, and it was not known where it led.

The hall, though spacious, was not clean, with pillars toppling horizontally, reliefs on the walls peeled away by the erosion of time, and oddly enough, as if they had exploded in many places.

Penny frowned, in fact, none of these anomalies had caught his attention, because as soon as he entered, he noticed something extremely important.

Brenas Tanshur stood outside the circle, constantly patrolling and observing the doors, and did not seem to know the specific road, which undoubtedly made Penny shudder.

Because the distance between the two is only a few yards.

It's an absolutely terrifying distance.

As if sensing the movement of the teleportation array, Brennas Tanshur looked back at the teleportation array in confusion.

A cold sweat instantly flowed from Penny's forehead.
