175 Undercurrents
"Belen?"
The crimson sky and the ground, although this area is unfamiliar, Penny is no stranger to this breath.
This is the abyss.
The confusion of his mind as he entered the abyss made Penny unclear what was happening, and when he woke up again, he found that something was missing from his consciousness, which made him a little confused.
The soul that dwelt in his body was gone.
So who won the war between Belen and that Abyss Lord's soul?
This is something Penny must know.
"I'm here. A vague fragment of information entered Penny's soul, he breathed a sigh of relief, opened the magic bag, and saw the embryo in it shimmering, and a trance-like figure condensed on the surface, Penny breathed a sigh of relief: "You have won?"
"Yes. It said.
Penny nodded, seeing that the embryo had changed from when he was in Blackhall.
The appearance of the embryo has almost faded to the color of flesh and blood, and the texture has become a pure crystal, and a wave of energy beats in it, like a beating heart.
"What do you need now?"
Penny thought for a moment and asked.
"Abyssal Spring, I need one. Belen's tone was a little hurried: "Not enough energy. β
"Not enough?" Penny was a little surprised.
You know, earlier, he had heard the opposite from Belen.
Condensing a new body and sublimating a life form doesn't seem to require much energy.
"If following the laws of the abyss is just a volitional rebellion against him, of course it doesn't take much energy. It said, "But by analyzing the information from the soul of which guy, I found a way to change the life form of the Abyss, so it would require more energy." β
"Okay. Penny nodded.
The Abyssal Springs weren't hard to find, there were several nearby, and he opened the Patyak Hub and quietly approached it.
Several low-level and middle-level monsters guarded there, ignorant of Penny's approach, led by a lion demon, Penny frowned, he didn't want to risk it himself, took out a bag in his arms, threw it there, and with an explosion, a tall winged monster stood up and let out a roar: "Who dares to disturb Lord Laklas?"
This roar made those monsters suddenly flee in horror, a Baro Flame Demon, but not an ordinary monster can compete, this lion demon is not very intelligent, let alone dare to fight with Barlow Demon, immediately escaped.
"Well, you're the master's damn friend, the guy who put me in the bag. Adi's huge eyes shot angry flames at Penny, but the mage ignored them.
"Can you just throw it in?" the mage frowned and asked Belen, "The will here will not perceive?"
Belen didn't answer his words, and the color of the embryo's surface changed, and Penny felt its breath change.
He was amazed by this change, as this was the function of the Patyak Hub.
"I've learned, it won't find me. It said.
Penny nodded and patted Adi's shoulder, who was glaring at him, "Protect your master." β
Then he pinched the teleportation stone and disappeared into the area.
Barlow rolled his eyes, looked back at the spring, and finally sat down on the stone on one side in frustration, and after a while he saw the bag that had put it up, and became excited again.
The great Lord Amodi Laklas finally didn't have to stay in that bag anymore.
......
Penny wasn't so lucky.
The assassination went wrong at the last moment, he didn't hesitate in the process, even if he said a little more nonsense, he didn't hear the movements in his hands, it can be said that the rhythm was tight, and the final miss can only be said to be his bad luck. ...,
Lifal's soul was not successfully destroyed, and although the body could no longer be restored by the divine spell under Penny's destruction, he remembered that there was a spell called Prayer.
This arcane spell is not a legendary spell, but it is unanimously considered one of the most powerful spells in the multiverse, and as long as the soul is not completely annihilated, it can be saved with this spell.
This, of course, reassured Penny.
However, he always managed to convince himself not to think about it.
Of course, there are many reasons for this:
It was not difficult for him to deduce that the spatial movement at the end of the assassination was caused by the spatial distortion of the Blackhall Stone under the impact of energy, so that the corpse had probably also fallen into the abyss, and it was a problem to fish him out, perhaps under the interference of the power of the chaotic plane, it was also very difficult for the mages of Searle to know his life and death.
And Lifal's soul will also be captured by the power of the lower realms, become a member of the abyss, and gradually erase his memories in a thousand reincarnations - the same is true for all souls who fall into the abyss, so of course, there is no need to worry about this guy coming out of somewhere to find trouble for himself one day.
Of course, these were a little unconvincing before the spell of prayer, so Penny's heart was still filled with vague unease.
It didn't help to be upset, and he ended up trying his best not to think about it.
It's just a distortion of time and space, it's hard to beat most of the middle and high-level mages who are prepared, as for the low-level mages, of course, there are not a few missing, but for the red-robed mage club, the death of a few low-level mages is obviously not worth paying attention to, the place in the abyss is full of accidents and dangers, and the head of the spell department will certainly not look for it with great fanfare.
Even if the missing person is his disciple, the core bloodline of Odyssilon.
Neveron could only bring a few cronies and most of the high-level mages to search carefully.
When the news of the disappearance of Odyssilon's core bloodline spread throughout the research institute, all the mages were dumbfounded, but in the end, they just sighed for a moment, when Xinbu appeared, it was already doomed that an accident was inevitable, and it was not a strange thing for a fourth-order spell mage to disappear in an accident, in fact, in this accident, the total number of missing low-level mages and apprentices was hundreds, including more than 20 official red-robed mages, and it was not surprising that a fourth-order spell mage had a bad life and a small probability eventγ
Seeing the reaction of the spellcasters, Penny secretly breathed a sigh of relief again, if Neveron or Laurzorell were dizzy and mobilized all their hands into the abyss to search, it would be a big trouble.
It seems that Neveron and Laurzorell didn't mean it, and hastily sorted it out, and the matter passed like this.
It seems so.
"Well done. On the way back to Saban Harbor, Zhan Huashi quietly praised: "Why do you look sad?"
"Teacher, prayer. Penny sighed, "I didn't take care of it, I pray for him to come back." β
"Prayer Technique?" Zhan Huashi frowned, then shook his head: "Your worries are unnecessary, don't think about this spell, no mage will use it." β
"No mage will use it?" Penny was a little stunned, "Isn't Lord Most's life called back by the Prayer Technique?"
"His father, Archmage Most, paid the price for it. Zhan Huashi said lightly: "Serre's secret department has been trying to find out his whereabouts, in fact, some high-level mages know that he must have hidden in a place where his divine power cannot reach, and he will definitely not return to the main material realm in the future." β
"What kind of logic is this?" Penny's cheeks twitched, he couldn't figure out what it had to do with the Prayer Technique. ...,
"You haven't studied the art of prayer, so you certainly don't know what it really does. Zhan Huashi shook his head: "This spell can theoretically fulfill all the wishes that supernatural forces can do, provided that this wish cannot exceed the limit of the magic power in a plane, it can be said that this is the most powerful arcane, stronger than the legendary spell, but do you know the conditions for its casting?"
"Casting conditions?" Penny frowned, he knew that.
The object of the caster's prayer is the source of the supernatural power of the multiverse, known as the existence of the source sea, but the source sea is not an obedient thing, it will misinterpret and simplify the caster's wishes from all angles, if the caster's 'prayer' is not rigorous enough, it is likely to get a result that makes him laugh and cry, and secondly, if you want to perfectly transform a 'prayer' into a spell, the time required will be calculated in months, and the more complex the prayer, the longer it will take.
"It's more than that. Zhan Huashi nodded Penny's forehead: "The source of this kind of prayer is the heart of the caster, when a spell caster is completely open to the source sea, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"Open your heart?" Penny was stunned: "You mean that all the thoughts of the spellcaster will be exposed to Genhai?"
"Including their methodology. The tutor gave his student a deep look, "You should know by now why no red-robed mage is casting this spell." β
Penny nodded slowly.
He got it perfectly.
In the process of performing the Prayer Technique, the caster's methodology will be thoroughly exposed to Genkai under this exchange.
And the god who manages the outer layer of the source of the main material realm is called Mystra.
It's hard to imagine anything interesting if a red-robed mage's methodology were mastered by this goddess, given that the red-robed mages are almost always at odds with her elect.
Especially the seat-level red robe that can perform the nine-ring arcane technique of prayer.
If a red-robed mage of this rank was controlled by Mystra, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable for Searle, and even the red-robed mage himself would not do such a suicidal thing.
But Lussen Dilmoster itself caused Penny great unease.
What if the red-robed archmage who was very close to Lifar was willing to exile himself forever and resurrect him?
Most of the spellcasters at that level were indifferent and selfish, and the Nine-Ring Archmage, who was actually already a species beyond ordinary humans, should theoretically not be able to pay such a huge price for a fourth-order mage.
Nine rings for four rings, a fool knows how uneconomical this kind of deal is.
But there are exceptions to everything, and Penny vaguely felt that there were some more crucial things that he hadn't thought of.
And this can be fatal.
The gloom in his heart grew thicker and thicker.
"Don't think about it. A hand pressed on his shoulder, and Penny turned his head to see his mentor's eyes: "Your family will do everything they can to protect you." β
Family?
The corners of Penny's mouth twitched very reluctantly, but the teacher's gaze still gave him some confidence.
"If you're not at ease, we can return to Altaber soon. "It's the safest place to be. β
Penny was silent and began to hesitate.
Give up all the hard work of more than a year and start over in a whole new place.
He felt some flesh pain, which showed that he was not a guy who was indifferent to fame and fortune.
However, his life is in danger, and it seems that he cannot hesitate.
He nodded slowly, "Mentor, we need to be ready. β
"No hurry, one last thing. James shook his head.
"The last thing?" Penny froze. ...,
"In the past few months, we have successfully infiltrated some spies into the mountains with the help of your operations in the south, and I believe that the answer that the Inquisition wants is not far from us. "I'll need to go into the mountains to make sure lately, and I just need to see if the place is as good as some of our organization's judgments before I can finish the trip." β
"Oh. So, it's going to take a while?"
"It only takes a little while. James said.
Penny nodded.
Even if it's a prayer technique, it won't work so quickly.
He thought.
......
"He's dead. "The light flickered in front of the Stone of Blackhall.
There is no need for lighting here, the light on the surface of the stone can make people see everything in the laboratory, and on the large experimental field above the stone, a huge teleportation array has been built, but below this, Lauzorrell's face is not the slightest pleasure: "Otherwise, he has a treasure that can be teleported." β
"Dead?" Neveron raised an eyebrow and exhaled, "It's unfortunate. β
A four-ring mage has a position in his heart like an ant.
Alive, he can give him grace and closeness, and when he dies, he is the dregs of the ants, which can hardly arouse his compassion, and at best makes him a little unhappy - nominally his disciple, after all.
"This is the only bloodline of Odyssilon's generation. Lauzorel frowned: "It's a trouble to die like this." β
"Then what should we do?" Neveron looked at Lauzorel suspiciously, "There is no corpse to be seen, there is an abyss, and many arcane spells are severely limited in that place, especially prophecy spells. β
"Of course I do. Laurezier's frown: "I even suspect that he is dead in the abyss, and I have no hope for him." β
Therefore, we can only accept such an outcome. Lauzorel, unless you're willing to use the Prayer Technique. Neveron spread his hands.
"No kidding, Neveron. Laurzorell was not amused: "Do you think I look like a fool?".
"He's certainly not worth it. Neveron laughed dryly, "Our plan continues, the Demon Gate here has been completed, and we should be able to extract enough power." β
Laurzorell nodded in agreement, a smile on his lips: "Then the plan can also begin." β
Neveron nodded: "In the war with the south, find another agent to cut the cake, there should be a lot of people in your family, anyway, let the shallow people below fight for these interests." β
"However......" Lauzorel frowned, "The matter of Lifal should still be known to the spokesperson of the Odyssilon bloodline, after all, this is also a big deal." β
Neveron was stunned, then nodded slowly...... οΌ
