Nephies looked out the window at the flames and dust, her eyes wide with a hint of fear, her face twisted into the side of the mage's neck.

"Are you scared?" Penny patted her on the back.

Blackhall's turmoil was constantly transmitted through a psychic connection, and at the same time, another connection made him more aware of what was happening to Blackhall.

A disturbance of astonishing scale could lead to turmoil among the hundreds of high- and low-ranking mages who reside there, or even greater chaos if they teleported to the immediate chaos.

He stared into the distance, as if he had seen the endless dimensional rifts that had been created with the heavy blow of the Abyss Gate spawning and then dissipating nearby.

That might have helped him escape, but he didn't know where he would fly, and he wouldn't want to make that kind of trip if he had a choice.

"My lord, I'm ......" Nephi grabbed the clothes from Penny's shoulder, a hint of cowardice on his face.

It seemed that something wanted to be said and then shrank back.

This reminded the mage of the days before he left the academy, when he saw her under the broken walls of the dormitory.

"Why are you helping me?" Penny looked up, and there was only a vague shadow of the moon in the sky obscured by the sand, and he sighed at the girl's pity, which had nothing to do with her, but now he had dragged him into such a dangerous situation: "Look, now we have only one road in front of us, and that road may not keep us alive. ”

"Lord Sean. She pouted, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes: "Why did you save me when I was in the academy?"

The mage's tone froze, he glanced at Nephis and shook his head, "I just don't think you deserve to die like that." ”

"So you shouldn't die, sir. She hugged Penny's neck, "At least I can't watch it happen, and if that happens, please let me close my eyes forever; Lord Sean, you don't know how happy I am to be in fear every moment of the past two years, that you will leave forever in a place I can't see, and that I will meet you again...... My lord, I'm not afraid at all. ”

Her voice was like a dream, but her surroundings were not as romantic as dreams, and even if they had to be compared to dreams, they were still nightmares.

Flames spread along the wooden eaves throughout the building, and muddy sand poured in through the burnt window lattices.

The mage glanced at the girl in his arms again, he didn't think about anything else, at least her attitude had given him the answer, he closed his eyes in a sigh, and the glitter of space that had crossed his body shone around him.

"Shoot him quickly, he is going to escape" The light did not hide the sight of the besiegers, and at the order of old Orasa, a row of glittering pure gold arrows 'aggressively' nailed into the window frames, walls, floors, and decorations near the light source, and of course, they all shot into the air with the vanishing light.

"Fool" Litania angrily threw her cane on the ground and grabbed old Olasa by the collar: "Didn't you say foolproof when he ran away?".

"Your Excellency. Oraksa smiled bitterly: "How do I know that he will use teleportation? My lord, he is looking for death by himself, the teleportation to foreign countries has been blocked by the enchantment, and the domestic teleportation channel has also been limited, appearing in those teleportation coordinates is self-defeating, my lord, I didn't expect him to rather do this." ”

"Of course he'd rather be like this, the drowning man won't let go of every life-saving straw, so your strategy is still useful. Litania gasped twice, his breathing calming down, as if accepting Oraza's explanation.

They had the impression that Penny had killed himself when Serge was under martial law and that Penny didn't choose to teleport until they had set it up - which in itself showed that it was a choice that Penny had to choose, and they didn't suspect that Penny had other special teleportation channels - if anything, the cunning boy hadn't used it a long time ago. ...,

Orasa's eyes rolled and he wiped the sweat from his head.

His own adults are quite reasonable.

At the same time, he secretly condemned himself for not laying the trap so tightly, and should leave a few holes so as not to force Penny Sean to jump over the wall, but it was too late to think about it.

But as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Litania roar again:

"But what should I do? He dared to use teleportation to escape, and most of them fell back into the hands of those chiefs who wanted him, who will I seek revenge on?"

Oraza wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was speechless in his heart.

Such a scolding was obviously reprimanding him for the incompetence of the designer of the pursuit plan, which made him feel uncomfortable, and his eyes rolled, and he suddenly pointed to the east: "My lord, look over there." ”

"Over there?" Litania, who was in a state of rage, turned her head to look east, and saw the brilliant light in the distance, and the anger on her face gradually turned into curiosity and confusion: "Blackhall? What the hell is the guy doing there?

"Maybe something happened...... "Olasa bowed.

"What does that have to do with me? Well, Orasa, you've succeeded in diverting my attention. Litania snorted and turned away, "Let's go back now and think about how to report to our grandmother." ”

Olasa sighed.

"I wish that kid a good death in the hands of those old immortals. As she walked, Litania's expression twisted again as she thought of the pain of dying when she was poisoned, and what she had seen and heard in the Eye of Eternal Sight.

Orasa's nerves were raised again, for fear that the grumpy master would be nervous again.

He watched as Litanya's clenched fists awaited the hysteria that was about to flare up intermittently, but before he could wait for Litania to get angry, a violent tremor on the ground sent him to a stumbling stumble.

"What's going on?" Olasa wasn't the only one who stumbled, and Litania stood up, pounced on her ass in frustration, and just as she shouted, another earthquake knocked him and his men dizzy.

"Your Excellency, there was an earthquake. Oraza shouted, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a large number of pops dragging their long fiery red tails across the eastern sky, and he couldn't help but open his mouth, and did not speak for a few seconds.

"Hell, of course I knew it was an earthquake, what were those meteors?" Litania looked at the sky in equal shock.

“...... My lord, I suggest we run away. Olasa said calmly: "Something happened to Blackhall, and there will be ** trouble here soon." ”

......

Blackhall did have an accident.

It did cause a huge problem for the mages stationed in Blackhall.

A group of archmages watched in horror as the portal turned into a huge fire pile hundreds of yards long and wide, and half a mile high, and dazzling sparks flew into the air, and the surrounding mages were already in confusion - more than half of the casters of all levels were history the moment Blackhall's main body was penetrated by the powerful power of the Nether Lord-level, and the remaining mages were either scurrying in terror or rolling and fleeing in the chaos of sparks. To add, the smallest of these Mars was the size of a fireball, and it hit the surrounding ground, buildings, and trees with electric current, as if it had been smashed by a meteor shower.

The successive earthquakes made it difficult to dodge the sparks, and every few seconds a mage, apprentice, minion, or guard died in the continuous explosions, splattering blood and corpses that turned the place into a living hell, and the earthquakes continued to become violent.

An astonishing calamity.

"What did you do?"

In contrast to the chaos of the outside world, there was a safe haven in the center of the burning portal, and the wings behind the glowing Nether Lord became huge, closing up to cover a small space that protected the bodies of Lannie and Belen. ...,

The new two surprised Lanny slightly, and Penny was not too surprised when he saw Belen's shape, and then began to pay attention to the cataclysm around him.

Obviously, this little guy from the Nether did something earth-shattering.

"I pierced the core of it. ”

"You ruined it?" Penny looked stunned.

This guy so easily destroyed the legendary portal that the Witch Queen couldn't destroy, what kind of power does it have now?

"It's easy. Belen's tone was understated: "I know where its structural weaknesses are, and there are no multiple legendary mages channeling spell energy against me. ”

This also made Penny very stunned, and the power to destroy Blackhall like this was still unimaginable to him.

It glanced at the embarrassed Penny, "I seem to have helped you again." ”

"Thank you very much. Penny looked around, fierce flames continued to erupt from around the big portal, as one of Blackhall's tinkerers, he knew very well how much power this portal contained, so released, not to mention Blackhall, even a few nearby cities and towns could not escape the disaster of the pond fish.

This great chaos undoubtedly provided an opportunity for his escape, and he had to thank it.

"Thanks?" it snorted, "I have never expected anything in return from you when I have helped you like this." ”

"You know I have nothing in return. Penny said helplessly.

"Okay......" It shook its head helplessly, "I didn't expect you to reciprocate, I just didn't want you to die because of some flying misfortune." Wait, it's time for me to go. ”

"You're leaving?"

"Of course, I have consumed too much strength and must leave the main material realm to replenish. Belen nodded.

"Where are you going?" Penny frowned, "Which abyss will accept you?"

The power that can be used by outside creatures in the main material realm is very limited, and when the power is exhausted, it must be replenished by returning to the source of power, but it is clear that Belen does not belong to any of the abysses, so Penny is very curious about where he goes.

"I don't know, but there's something calling to me somewhere. It furrowed its silver-white eyebrows, and its hourglass-shaped pupils rolled and swirled again: "I'm going to find it." ”

“...... Well, good luck. The surrounding fire had spread, and Penny unfurled a small spell protection barrier and nodded at Belen.

It vanished in a flash of light, and the mage let out a sigh and noticed Lannie sitting on the ground next to her, "Why are you here?"

"Why am I here?" she seemed to wake up from her stupor, and at the sight of Penny's face, a strange sensation made her shudder, and she shrunk her body, as if she had repeated it unconsciously.

"It's dangerous here. Penny frowned, "Do you need me to take you away?".

"Oh, yes. Hearing the word 'leave', she nodded subconsciously, suddenly raised her head, stood up with one arm on the floor, looked at Penny for a while, and took a deep breath: "I don't want to stay here anymore, you...... Help me get out of Serre, okay?".

Nephes, who had been clinging to Penny's neck all the time, looked curiously at the tears hidden in the woman's eyes, feeling a little strange.

“...... Good. Noticing her embarrassment, Penny didn't ask much, and as you can imagine, she wasn't treated well here.

One more traveling companion who fled together.

He sighed and took her hand, and in turn used his flying skills to lift the bodies of several people in the air, carefully avoiding the sputtering sparks, bypassing the fleeing crowds, and following a remote path to the city to the west.

The spread of the central flame did not stop the calamity, but rather seemed to end the prelude, and the text of the calamity officially began. ...,

In the midst of an earth-shattering earthquake, magic interferes with the weather, and lightning and lightning fall to the ground, destroying everything on the surface along with scattered sparks, making Penny feel as if he is in an abyss.

The calamity spread to the city not far to the west, countless buildings collapsed in the earthquake and fire, and men from soldiers to civilians to mages scattered and fled without shelter, wailing and howling in the night sky.

Naturally, no one would pay attention to the fugitives in this case, and several ships in the bay were about to take advantage of the chaos to attract Penny's attention, and he urged the flying magic and the stealth ring to quietly approach one of the large ships......

Although the boat is large, it is inconspicuous among the ships on the coast, and even if it has enough space, it will not attract special attention.

It is important that at the beginning of the disaster, the boat ran the fastest and is now the farthest from the coast......

"Quick, Robben, let's get out of here while the red-robed mage doesn't find out. On board the medium-sized merchant ship, the excited young captain instructed the old servant with a bitter face: "We are so lucky, haha, we actually waited for the opportunity before the wine began to taste." ”

"Miss Fina, is this really good?". Robben wiped the beads of sweat from his head and looked at the burning harbor city with some fear: "If they find out, they will kill someone." ”

"Are they?, will they find us in this situation?". The captain named Fina snorted: "By the time they finish dealing with the fire, we will already run to the open sea, by the way, call the helmsman to pay attention, go from the south, and avoid those Serre navy in the western sea." ”

"Uh......" The old servant wiped his forehead, seeing that the burning harbor was getting farther and farther away, and knew that it was too late to regret it now, so he could only make a suggestion: "Miss, there are pirates to the south......"

"Pirates, where are the pirates?" Fina laughed twice, her eyes squinted like two crescent moons, and the sides of her mouth showed sharp tiger teeth, "Didn't they just be cleaned up by the Serles?" ”

"This ......" realized that his eldest lady did not take his worries to heart at all, and the old servant finally shut his mouth - anyway, the Serre Navy was just as terrible to them now.

At that moment a spark fell from the sky and exploded on the plank of the merchant ship, and a crowd rolled to the ground in amazement, and two unlucky sailors fell into the sea.

"Hell, get them out. Fina screamed angrily, "Pull the sails and get out of this hellish place quickly"

Deep in the cabin, in a gap between a large pile of barrels, a woman in a black robe clung to the mage's neck in the shock of the ship's hull—a neck that now weighed the weight of two women, one large and one small, that made him stick out his tongue and hold on to the bulkhead as the shaking ended.

It's a great place.

The wine was a little stronger, but it was spacious—at least for three people, and there was a small crack in the bulkhead that allowed Penny to see farther and farther out of the shore.

"Woo woo woo......" he heard the cry of Lannie who was hugging his neck, "I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back to that place again." ”

Penny stretched out a hand and rubbed her long hair, and spat at the fading shore, his gaze turning from calm to sharp, and then to calm.

He knew that he would go back one day.

......

"Ruined?"

Blackhall's explosion sealed the research room built underground in an instant, and I don't know how many high- and low-level mages died in it, of course, for some mages with high mana, it is not a problem to break through the rock barrier and escape. ...,

Legendary mages are certainly no exception.

Neveron and Aznashul frowned at the ruins of the institute and the surroundings that had been knocked into nether landforms.

"Phew, our plans are in vain, Neveron. Aznashur spread his hands: "It's not just the war in the south, it will take a long time to repair the southern barrier that has been greatly shaken because of this incident, and if we force the plan, Duxusrem and they will definitely be in trouble." ”

"Hmm~" Neveron's expression was gloomy, a trace of coolness was revealed from his flat tone, his eyes looked at the giant pit in the center of Blackhall, and he sneered: "But don't let me know who did this." ”

"There are too many Nether Lords, who knows which one will get nervous?" Shull shook his head and frowned again, "Let's think about how to deal with what will happen next." ”

Neveron's face twitched for a moment, his expression changed from distortion to calm, and he nodded slowly as he looked at the ruins, and a flash of light disappeared in place.

It's really a big problem.

"My lord, Blake Hall is ruined. ”

In a secret fortress in the mountains northeast of Serre, a middle-aged man in rich clothes bowed to a chair with his back to him, giving some kind of report.

"Ruined?what?Pallas, you can't stand the loneliness?" a withered skeletal claw rested on the handle of the chair, and in the dim light and diffuse incense, the index finger phalanx wrapped in a dry crust made a light sound on the wooden handle, forming a special rhythm: "It's not my concern." ”

"My lord, since I have chosen to follow you, I naturally will not regret it. Pallas Ottorian bowed respectfully, his eyebrows moving: "It's just ...... In this way, the situation in the country is more complicated, and you choose to hide here......"

"It's not a complicated situation, it's a really complicated situation, and it won't happen until a few years away. The chair spun half in a circle, revealing a skeleton of bones covered in a layer of semi-dry skin, which Neveron and the other two chiefs probably wouldn't be surprised to see this guy.

It would not have been easy to kill this powerful lich who had controlled Searle for more than 200 years.

"In a few years?"

"Well, some astute mages have already picked up a message from the law of cause and effect, and in three years at most, there will be a cataclysm that will shake the whole of Toriel, and it ...... compared to that thing" Sazastan laughed hoarsely: "A little political dispute is really not a big deal. ”

"Cataclysm?" Pallas Ottorian frowned in confusion, "My lord, can you make it clear?"

"Explicitly? I don't know. The lich shook his head and gestured to the table next to him, with a locket on it, "But the owner of the man who sent it may know better." ”

A deep dark force shone from the dim light.

Whenever Ottorian saw this locket that had just appeared here for less than two days, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, and he still remembered that the person who sent this locket over, wearing a black cloak and a crazy smell, this curiosity made him can't help but ask: "My lord, who is its owner?"

"Its owner?" the lich shook his head, got up and walked over to the table, grabbing the box, "Died a few years ago." ”

The answer "uh......" stunned the lich's faithful servant.

"But it doesn't matter, his successor is still trustworthy, I helped him destroy the seal of the Imasca Tomb, and he sent me what I wanted......" The lich smiled: "But I'm afraid he doesn't know, I still don't know who broke the seal, well, I really didn't do it." ”...,

He shook his head helplessly.

"So, my lord, what is this?"

"This thing...... It's called Penderim's Soul Crystal, well, you probably don't know, you just need to know that it's a soul fragment of something horrible. The lich didn't seem to have much interest in explaining: "It's less than a tenth of its soul power, but once it's released, half of it will become a paradise for undead creatures." If it weren't for the fact that most of its entities were sealed intact, I wouldn't even dare touch it. ”

The horrific description sent a shudder down the board and a new question: "What are you doing with him?"

"Of course, it's to study his power, well, it might help me get ahead of the impending disaster, but it's going to take a long time, so I'm going to disappear for a while, and I'll let my dear political enemies worry about it. The lich said in a teasing tone, "I'm so keen on something boring, well, I really don't know if they have higher aspirations, okay, Pallas, I'm going to need to do a long closed study next, and I have something to ask you." ”

"Please. The lich's loyal servant respectfully agreed.

"Take this. Sazastan threw a smaller box to Pallas Ottorian, who looked at it suspiciously, and found that the lid of the box was tightly closed, and he looked at the phosphorus fire in Sazastan's eyes, and a tacit understanding made him try to open the lid, but the sturdiness of the lid was obviously very reliable, and he could only look at Sazastan inquiringly.

"All you have to do is keep watch over him at all times, and then open it when its seal breaks, oh, it's easy to recognize, it's when it starts to glow, and it will free my soul from my life box. Sazastan explained the usefulness of the box, but frightened his faithful servant:

"Your Excellency, do you want me to release your soul?"

Releasing a soul is death for the lich.

"If you don't do what I say at that time, worse things will happen. Sazastan lifted the box containing the 'Penderim Soul Crystal' and placed it in front of the two phosphorus fires in his eye sockets: "The power contained in this thing is terrifying, I'm not sure if I'm completely sure if I'll study it thoroughly, if my methodology is distorted by its power...... Sazastan will still exist, but I'm gone. ”

Pallas Ottorian was sweating profusely, and he felt that the box he was holding in his hand weighed more than a thousand pounds.

"Of course, I can't attribute success to luck, if a man fails because he is 'unlucky', he can't say anything but that he should fail, well, Pallas, remember what I said......" The lich pointed at his faithful servant with a withered finger, "Don't hesitate when the time comes. ”

"Yes. A middle-aged man in a cold sweat knelt on one knee with the box in his hand, watching the lich drag his robe out of sight.

......

When the ruins that had provided a large number of dragon eggs and keels for Neveron and several other chief lords and the Dragon Witch Cult were destroyed, the platform on the deep mountain was deserted, and there was nothing left except for a few weeds, until today, the footsteps of a group of people have restored some life to this place, but the outfits of these people obviously add some strange atmosphere to the place.

They were dressed in yellow robes, with more or less tattoos on their faces, and a strange serpentine badge on their chests, and the leader looked solemnly, carefully looking at the ruins, kneeling on the ground and not knowing what kind of prayer was performed, and everyone behind them also prayed, until the leader stood up in a strange closing ceremony, and they stopped praying, but did not stand up, but looked up at the leader.

"The blood of an ancient empire will be revived. He turned back to face the kneeling men in yellow, and raised a fist: "We will eventually get back everything we have lost, anyone who plunders must die, anyone who betrays us must die, anyone who steals our finances must vomit out doubly, the existence that once destroyed our great civilization will inevitably pay the price, the will of our ancestors will lead us, and the glory of the past will eventually return......"

A frenzied look appeared on his face: "Long live Imaska"

"Long live Imaska," the men cheered with fervent expressions...... ，
