55 The Eye of Eternal Sight
Creatures that have been rolling in the abyss for more than a hundred years, no matter how dull, have some intuition about the danger that is coming, especially when life and death are at stake.
The succubus Disandaro's reaction was very keen, and he sensed the danger in countless quarters of a second when the mouse appeared in front of him, and immediately activated the Sanctuary Talisman, the personal shield between the virtual and the real instantly isolated him from the space, he fixed his mind, and he had to observe before making a decision to run or fight, but when he saw the rat's claws penetrate the protective shield without hindrance, he immediately kicked his legs in panic, his wings fanned the air, and he jumped backwards with all his strength.
However, the claws that shimmered with dark light had already torn through the protection for a moment, and they had already burrowed into the flesh and blood of the succubus!
Poof!――
The succubus howled miserably, covering his bleeding eye sockets and flying back, but the fighting instinct cultivated by birth and death for a hundred years let him know that the danger was just beginning, he had no time to take care of his blind left eye, quickly channeled the energy in his body, and had no time to pray and shape, so he smashed out all the chaotic primitive magical energy in his body!
Warlocks are usually creatures with a high affinity for chaotic energy, and they can channel mana with instinct, and they don't need deep research or high-end skills, and their spells are as crude and straightforward as barbarians.
However, because the spell casting conditions are not as harsh as those of the classic spellcaster, the destructive power of the evil magician on the melee battlefield is very terrifying, five clouds of chaotic energy appeared out of thin air, and the powerful explosion shattered the countless withered and old alien trees around it, and on the ground, the snowflakes that were essentially dry and fungal matter flew out one after another, revealing the rock shell and lava below!
A sharp scream erupted, and the cunning demon standing not far away was overturned by the explosion and was falling towards a piece of lava.
He tore through his throat and let out a frightened scream, waving his hands and feet at the same time, but fortunately he finally caught a rock, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly crawled up the rock formation:
"It's terrible! It's terrible! The great Laklaas must not die here if he wants to escape. ”
The rat Belen's surprise attack worked, and when it rolled over in the air, and when it landed on the ground, it saw the chaotic energy rushing to its face, and it escaped into the shadows one by one, and the evil explosion dissipated and reappeared in its place, but the succubus had already flapped its wings and flew away.
After only one round of confrontation, seeing that the magic explosion released by himself did not cause the slightest damage to the other party, the succubus knew that he was not the opponent of this deformed mouse, although the demon was crazy, but under normal circumstances, he would not be sent to death knowing that he was invincible, and the succubus who had lived for hundreds of years would naturally not lack this reason, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.
So he spread his wings and fled the battlefield as fast as he could, while clutching his bloodied left eye, and cursing with hatred in his heart:
"Damn deformed!mongrel!I'll take my revenge, wait!I'm going to eat you!Weave a new whip out of your hair!"
However, the sudden dizziness in his mind told him that it was not so easy to escape, and the succubus was dizzy for a while, but he was in the air, and soon after falling, he was awakened by the cold wind, and soon flew high again, until the area where the spiritual power could not reach,
He was glad for a while, then glanced down at the mouse on the ground, and laughed loudly, his voice sharp: "It's too weak, this level of strength can only deter a mouse, deformed mongrel!"
He laughed wildly and spread his wings, circling dozens of feet above the mouse's head, and in his opinion, no matter how powerful this monster on the ground was, as long as it couldn't fly, it couldn't help him.
It gave him a new idea - maybe he could take out this tricky guy in aerial combat?
He suddenly had the confidence to fight again, and the attack range of pure energy was much farther than mental power.
However, just a few seconds after the thought came to him, he knew that he was naïve.
The mouse looked at the succubus flying in the air, sniffling, his eyes narrowed, and he showed a contemptuous expression.
His throat rolled, his small mouth opened, aimed at the direction of the succubus, and more than a dozen pure golden flashes burst out from his throat, which were a dozen fine pure gold thorns several inches long, so fast that there was no shadow, the succubus could not imagine that the mouse's two-inch-long body could spit out such a long thing, and there was more than one, and it was even more incredible that it could fly so fast.
But he didn't have time to think about it, and when he screamed and was about to turn around and run away, his wings had been driven out by dense golden arrows with a dozen leaking holes, and his body fell crookedly to the ground.
The rat took small steps towards the spot where the succubus had fallen......
......
When Penny regained his consciousness from the dizziness of the astral teleportation, he found himself in a large and quiet hall, where a group of red-robed mages came and went beside the shelves with huge volumes of books, and the atmosphere was silent and orderly.
Penny furrowed his eyebrows, it was rare to see black-robed apprentices here, but the formal red robes accounted for the vast majority, and the simple and elegant decoration around him told him that this place was definitely not ordinary.
His perception revealed that the stone creatures decorated in his hallway were real, and that they had been enhanced with special magic, and if anyone walking in them made the slightest mistake, they would be attacked by a group.
The ground was not flat, but the concave engravings made people step on it, and their minds naturally felt at peace, and they unconsciously tended to be silent - at least so that Penny, who was puzzled in his heart, did not ask questions at the first moment:
"What a place this is. ”
"This is the Eternal Eye Research Institute in Eltabor, the highest institution of prophecy. The answer was not a taciturn Zhan Huashi, but a female red robe wearing glasses, of course, the appearance of which is not to be repeated, the red robe is bald for both men and women, and Penny did not dare to make the slightest contempt for this female red robe or make an observation that might cause misunderstanding - the neckline of this female mage's robe was embroidered with cyan silk thread.
This is a High Ring Mentor who has reached the seventh rank of casting.
Penny was immediately solemn and vigilant, for fear that he would make some rude move.
At the same time, he felt that he was being watched by a force for a while, most likely because of some exploration magic, and then he saw the female mage frowning, facing Zhan Huashi, who had not spoken:
"Are you sure this is the person you're looking for?"
"I watched him for eight years. When Zhan Huashi said this, Penny frowned slightly, not only surprised by the dean's words, but even more surprised by Zhan Huashi's attitude towards this high-level Ring Mentor - even if he didn't belong to the same school, as a Ring Mentor, could he speak to a high-level mentor in such a bland and almost perfunctory tone?
Or is there some other reason?
Penny's mind began to spin around, what kind of hidden identity did YY's own boss, but his understanding of the Red Robe Mage Society was still a novice after all - he had shrunk for eight years in the low-level academy, and the intermediate academy had only been concerned with studying spells for more than half a year, and he really didn't study much of the gossip of the mage club.
At least, it's far worse than other quasi-red robes who are about to turn regular.
After a while, to no avail, he returned his attention to the conversation that was taking place, and a phenomenon suddenly surprised him even more, listening to Zhan Huashi's cold attitude without the slightest respect, this female high-level tutor actually did not show the slightest unpleasant emotion.
Penny originally suspected that the female red robe was a disguised courtesy, but after listening to Zhan Huashi's words, the female mage looked at Penny again seriously. This made Penny understand that Zhan Huashi's words had a lot of weight in the heart of this female mage.
So there were more inexplicable conjectures in his heart.
"In that case, let's try it first, but I can't guarantee that Mother will approve of your choice. The female mage said in a flat tone.
This series of conversations puzzled Penny, but he probably understood that he had been favored by James and had become a certain kind of candidate, and it seemed that he had something to do with the female mage's mother.
But what exactly it is, Penny can't imagine, so he can only press this curiosity.
He'll know when the time comes, anyway.
The good can't be bad, the bad can't be good.
"I think he's a good fit. James said to the female mage, and then turned to Penny, "You go with this Oseia Mentor to meet an adult, and for the next month, if I don't come to you, don't leave that adult's jurisdiction." ”
Penny immediately nodded solemnly, and then saluted the high-level Ring Master named Osea.
"No courtesy. Oseia waved his hand at the mage indifferently, and then turned to Zhan Huashi: "You're leaving?"
"Yes. ”
"Good luck coming back alive. The High Ring Mentor said to the vanishing Jen Huashi, and when Penny heard this, a strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind - this kind of conversation, could it be that these two middle-aged men and women have a relationship?
At this time, Oseaa beckoned to him, and Penny restrained his thoughts, and followed the high-ranking red-robed into the deeper hall, and doubts kept emerging in the center of the way, not only because Zhan Huashi left without saying a word after bringing him to this place, but also because the female red-robed woman's words when the dean left, 'Come back alive', made him feel a little uneasy, and he had a lot of worries along the way.
"Do you have any questions?" The corridor is very long, about a few hundred feet, twisting and turning, and there are many houses beside the road.
As soon as he had finished a passage and turned a corner, and it was a longer one, Oseaa suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Penny, who was in a semi-fugue state, was stunned for a moment.
"If in doubt, just ask, don't be informal, there is nothing to fear from a prophet. Oseia said.
Don't you have any other terrible spells besides the prophecy system?" Penny complained secretly, but he didn't think that the question in his heart was worth keeping secret: "Excuse me...... Is the Dean in danger?"
He didn't ask Jan what he was going to do, because if he didn't tell him, he probably thought Penny shouldn't know about it.
He knew enough, and any more would have killed him.
"Dangerous?" "Osya's footsteps stopped, turned back, and looked at Penny indifferently, "You think the red-robed mage should be a safe profession?"
"This ......," Penny was speechless.
Oseaa looked at Penny, carefully observing the expression on the mage's face, and suddenly his expression softened a little:
"It seems that your concern is not fake, and it is not for nothing that he will choose you.
...... Keep walking. After a pause, Oseia turned his head and walked on.
"Lord Oseya......" walked a short distance, Penny hesitated for a while, perhaps feeling that this high-level mentor of the prophecy department was not so difficult to speak, and mustered up the courage to speak: "The dean said just now that he has been paying attention to me for eight years, but at that time, I was still just enrolled......
"It is not surprising that the tutors assigned to the lower academies, soon after each new batch of students enroll, will make an assessment of the quality of the students, which part is likely to remain, and which part will most likely be eliminated, has already been decided at that time. Oseya said slowly, her voice full of magnetism, echoing in the corridor with an ethereal feeling: "Among these students, if there is a teacher who agrees, they will be followed up and given special care, including those who are very talented......"
"Uh......" Penny was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a sense of absurdity arose in his heart.
"You seem weird. ”
"It's weird...... Those best classmates in Tianzi ......" Penny was halfway through speaking, and suddenly felt that it was rude to say the next sentence, so he quickly shut up.
"If you didn't die at the hands of your classmates, you were killed by your mentor, right?" Otera seemed to be well aware of Penny's doubts.
Penny nodded, still wondering why the red-robed mage would kill some of the best students, although some of the instructors attributed this to fear that their status would be threatened, but no matter what Penny thought, he found such reasons ridiculous.
"Of course this is a misunderstanding, isn't there any one of your contemporaries who has a particularly good apprentice who will survive to graduate?" asked Otera.
"Uh...... That's their ......" Penny then remembered that among the outstanding students in each period, there are indeed one or two inconspicuous ones who can survive, but compared to the dead ones, this proportion can be really low to negligible, Penny was about to say, 'That's their luck', and suddenly suddenly woke up: "Are they the ones chosen by the mentor?"
"The red-robed mage will not easily abandon any apprentice who is good enough. Osera smiled: "When you officially become a red-robed mage, you will understand why those apprentices died, they all have a reason to die." ”
Penny fell silent, it seemed that his understanding of the Red Robe Society was still superficial.
"Of course, you can't know these things now, so while you're here, let's do some preparatory work for promotion. Osera said this, turning the second corner, and the corridor came to an end, where a small small door was there, and as the two approached, the door opened of its own accord.
It was simply furnished, with rows of bookshelves piled high with books, a small bed, a round table with crystal balls, and a short, thin woman sitting on a small chair beside the table.
Osera led Penny into the room and bowed to the figure:
"Mother, Zhan Huashi's disciple has already brought it. ”
Penny saluted as well, and then raised his eyes slightly, observing the back of the seated man, a man whose head was almost covered with silver threads that almost covered his robe to the ground, and judging by the wrinkled hand pressed against the crystal ball, he should not be young.
"I've already brought it. The woman's soft voice could not tell her age, but when she turned to reveal the golden lace on the front of her robe, Penny's heart beat fiercely, although she had been prepared.
This is a seat mentor.
......
Abyss.
The brother succubus was bound in a heavy runic silver chain—something that the Mind Flayer mage used to bind experiments, and now it was put to good use.
De Sandaro's body was covered in countless scars and blood, and it was long since he lost his arrogance, but it was not Belen's torture captive, who was crouching on the side, studying the spoils of war on the ground, the succubus's magical treasure.
In front of the succubus, Amodi Laklas happily brandished all kinds of steel torture instruments, so that with one hand holding a contract, he jumped and yelled at the succubus: "You fool who is not self-sufficient, Laklas will give you one last chance to become a servant of my great master, or I will roast you alive!"
The rat listened to this speechless torture, and suddenly felt bored—it had been in the abyss for some time, and it had begun to miss some 'relative' in the main material realm.
Maybe you should pick a chance to go back and check it out.
It swallowed several magical artifacts and had such thoughts before falling asleep.
