Abyss, pale forest

If the bottomless abyss of endless layers has anything in common, it is the winding river Styx, a river that runs through the entire lower universe to which the evil camp belongs, and the ferries of countless evil creatures shuttle back and forth in it, in addition to the astral plane and the sigil city, the Styx is another well-known passage connecting the various realms of the lower realm.

Many soul fragments that have fallen from other planes also travel through the River Styx to the Hell or the Abyss, starting the journey of the lower species, and the place where the life force of the Abyss is most vigorous is often next to the River Styx.

Although sometimes these exuberant life forces are not pleasant.

Belen looked at the wriggling abyssal larvae in the murky waters, the slimy flesh that nearly vomited.

And the newly acquired little brother next to him is still chattering and introducing:

"My lord, this is a newly formed Styx spring, and the larvae in it are enough to evolve into three or four high-headed demons. The succubus with a blue nose and swollen face was respectful on the surface, but his brain was spinning because of Belen's trembling silver hair, secretly calculating how to find an opportunity to kill this rat monster.

This spring has just been generated for less than half a year, and Di Sandaro is lucky enough to occupy it, and the succubus knows very well that this spring will sooner or later be discovered and plundered by a more powerful being, so he was going to use it to improve his strength, and then find another place, never be nostalgic, but before he could take advantage of it, he found this mouse.

The succubus could only grit its teeth and admit that it was unlucky, and at the same time secretly thought of a poisonous plan to reveal the situation here to the powerful beings nearby, so that they could kill the rats.

However, he was also hesitating, and the battle that day had made all the consciousness of the snooping in the shadows converge - it was clear that they all knew that the new master of the mage tower was not easy to mess with, and now that the succubus's life was in the hands of rats, if the enemy attacked, he would inevitably be cannon fodder.

Damn the guys.

This dilemma made the succubus Di Sandaro worse than dead, but on the surface he had to be respectful: "My lord, don't you need to increase your strength?"

The succubus secretly planned that if the rat burrowed into this abyssal spring to level up, he would immediately find a way to kill it - it would be difficult for him to maintain his sanity under the interference of chaotic forces during the promotion process, and then it would be his chance.

However, the mouse obviously did not do what he wanted, it is not an abyssal creature, the chaotic and powerful abyss power in the spring makes it feel bored and disgusted, although it doesn't mind increasing its strength, but using this method obviously makes it difficult to accept, it shakes its head, turns around and leaves, the succubus is very disappointed, but with the fart worm and the sycophant spirit Adi is obviously not optimistic about the situation: "Master! It's a pity if you give up, this is the fastest way to increase your strength, master!"

Boom!

There was a muffled thud, then a long scream, and Adi tumbled into the spring, soon drowning in a sea of worms, and the cry was indistinct.

Seeing that this source of chaotic energy was being wasted by the cunning demon, the succubus sorcerer's flesh was so painful that his face twitched, and his heart hated the rat even more, and decided to plot out the rat sooner or later, just as he had done to his previous masters.

But he didn't seem to know that the contract he had signed in a semi-conscious state had already conveyed his thoughts to Belen, and the rat staggered to the mage's tower, deciding to go to Faeron to breathe first, and then come back to clean up the dissident slave.

It has come to see the Abyss as a nest of sorts.

......

"The Dictionary of Ancient Magic Texts is this one. Penny removed the old book, covered in a thick layer of dust, from the top of the tall shelf, jumped down from the padded stool, and handed the book to the official red robe of the woman, who appeared to be young.

The female mage pushed the frame of her glasses and put the book in front of her eyes, a pair of pupils were in focus, staring at the cover for a long time, and then she exhaled, raised her head and nodded at Penny: "I'm really embarrassed, I have already used several 'Pengyu Angel Eyes' that I prepared today, so thank you for helping me with this." Do you need any remuneration?"

"Reward?" Penny was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: "It's just a gesture, and you don't need any reward." ”

"You don't need to be rewarded for your efforts?" Your Excellency's logic is very strange. The mage frowned.

"It's you who is weird. Penny had a strange look on his face, and it was even more illogical to not be able to tell who it was.

"Please call me Rekita. The female red-robed woman said solemnly: "It is a principle that if you have received a favor from others, you must be rewarded. ”

"Principles?" Penny was speechless for a moment and shook his head, "I don't need your pay. ”

"No, you're so generous. Rikita lifted her glasses: "But I need to, because it feels bad to be in debt." ”

"In fact, you don't need anything in return. Penny found it difficult for the female mage to communicate, and decided to find some reason to perfunctory her: "You are the official red robe, and I am the apprentice. ”

"It's impossible for an average apprentice to enter this place. The female mage shook her head undoubtedly: "Even if it is an apprentice, you can refuse what happened just now, because I do not have the authority to directly govern the official apprentice." ”

"Forget it. Penny began to have a headache: "What does it take in return for the effort, and if not, will you put the book back?"

"Of course not, then ......" The female red robe thought for a while, and then said, "How about you do me another favor?"

"Huh?" The mage was puzzled by the red-robed leap of thought again, but saw the female red-robed stretch out her slender index finger and shook it gently:

"If the level of 'hand-to-hand work' is not enough to make you think that you need to be paid, then if you do more things for me, I will be able to ask for payment calmly, so that I will not have to worry about being in debt after I pay it back. ”

"Your idea is amazing," Penny opened his mouth and said directly, dumbfounded by this wonderful logic.

"Equivalent exchange only, the law of the arcane. Rekita snapped her fingers and frowned impatiently, "Do you agree?"

"But I want to sleep. Penny spread his hands and yawned, he was indeed tired.

"Sober Elixir. The female mage pulled out a bottle of potion, and her tone was a little undeniable, although she seemed to be slightly younger than Penny, but her demeanor seemed to be a head taller when she spoke.

In fact, this is indeed the case, because Penny is an apprentice, and she is a genuine red-robed mage, although they do not belong to each other, but their status is obviously superior and inferior.

Penny nodded, there was really no problem with drinking it once in a while, not to mention that he was also very interested in this female red robe, just like Oseia said, the doubts in his heart might be able to get some answers from the other party's mouth.

He used the perception domain to probe the potion, found nothing abnormal, drank it in one gulp, and suddenly had a feeling of being washed away, although he did not return to the spell bit, but his thinking was clear, and the tiredness on his face dissipated, Rekita nodded, and walked out of the reading room first: "Now come with me." ”

"Excuse me, what do you need me to do?" asked Penny, following him.

"It's just an archaeological mission. Regeta said: "Most of it has been done, and the little thing left in the end is not worth saving for tomorrow, but my eyes obviously can't hold it anymore, and I need to find someone to help." ”

"Myopia is indeed a great enemy of the spellcaster. Penny glanced at the little lens that was showing on the side of the glass, and the distortion of his vision told him that the eye was at least 800 degrees, and he muttered with a sigh that a mage with such vision could only do a study.

If you go to the battlefield, as long as there is a slight problem with the spell to assist detection, the tragedy is predictable.

And if you replace all the first-level spells in a row with the 'Pengyu Angel Eye', how much combat power will you lose?

It can be seen that the Celestial Empire is very good at popularizing eye care.

He also took this opportunity to see Rekita's face clearly in a sober state.

Frankly speaking, because of the shaved head, no matter how beautiful a girl is, the charm will be reduced by at least half, even if the female red robe is very delicate, and the small streamlined tattoo on her forehead is not lacking in beauty, but the bare piece only looks like a nun in Penny's eyes.

However, the petite figure of the female red robe has a bit of a weak willow Fufeng taste in the walk, but this meaning is relatively rare, because Fei Lun's aesthetic tends to be plump and fleshy, and there is not much market for slender and slender.

However, in the senses of souls from another world, it is scarce.

And the female red robe's posture of speaking is also very calm and unhurried, which also makes Penny feel fresh.

So when Penny looked at this slender 'nun', he had a little appreciation.

However, he suddenly thought that he would become a monk soon, and his mood became a little bad again.

While he was thinking wildly, Rekita's voice came from the front, answering Penny's sigh in a somewhat helpless tone:

"There's no way around it, family inheritance can't be changed, can you tell me your name? I've already introduced myself, and it's rude for you not to explain where you come from. ”

"It's a faux pas, my name is Penny Sean, and if we don't know each other well, you can call me Sean. Penny said.

"Oh, Sean, we're almost there, you wait in this house first, I'll move the papers, and wake up another slacker by the way. Reaching a small door, Rekita said to Penny as she unlocked it.

"Another ...... Slacker?"

"The research companion I was working with would have progressed faster if he had him. Rekita finished and ushered Penny into the room.

In the small room, except for a long table in the center, there was a large pile of bronze and hard stone objects on the floor, and the dust on them reminded Penny that they seemed to have been dug out of the trench, so he asked Likita, "What are these?"

"Part of our archaeological content - the rubble that a few outer mage apprentices dug up in a small ruin. Rekita shook her head: "Several high-level mentors have checked, these things are garbage, of no value at all, and all of them will be thrown away after the work is completed." ”

"That's right......" Penny nodded suddenly, looking at the 'garbage', he noticed that some things were more familiar, although he hadn't seen them, but he quickly understood where the familiarity came from: "That little ruin is from Imasca?"

Rekita, who had just turned around, heard Penny's words, turned around and looked at Penny in surprise, feeling a little surprised: "You can actually recognize it, it seems that you are really different from ordinary apprentices, they don't touch these things." ”

"Maybe. Penny pouted, "It's just that I'm just interested." ”

"Well, now I'm more confident in getting the job done, and you're waiting for me here. Rekita said, turning and leaving the room, closing the door.

Leaving Penny alone to fumble around the room for a while, and finally focused on the 'ruins and antiquities', because of the content in his memory, he was very interested in Imaska, but after examining it for a while, there was really nothing of value in this large pile of antiquities, even if he activated the golden finger and the perception domain was still the same.

He had no choice but to shake his head and accept the reality - it depends on the probability of finding a treasure in the ruins, if a certain excavated ruins are the toilets of an ancient empire, wouldn't it be a dream to dig up treasures in it?

Penny pulled out a chair and sat down next to the bookcase, and while he was waiting, suddenly a long-silent link in his mind sent a strong signal, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a small spatial crack open in the air on the side of his body, and a silver-haired guy came out of it.
