Section 31 Pursuit
Time flies, and Bai Fan silently sorts out his backpack. The long-awaited adventure of the secret realm of space is about to begin. It's been two years since I first participated in the college competition. During the national competition, it was probably bad luck, he would encounter strong enemies in every round, and in the end, although he won with absolute strength, he also exposed at least the realm of a great magician. Sherlock was pleasantly surprised by this, and Karloff looked at him differently.
Recalling that after the end of the game, the Emperor of the Caton Empire announced that the secret realm expedition would begin in two years, and he couldn't help but complain: "The concept of time in this world is really not adaptable, and the game will be played so early in two years. But after two years of preparation, he has a lot of confidence.
In the past two years, Bai Fan often soaked in the library, learned a lot of magic from various departments, and also drew a lot of magic structure drawings for the brothers in the dormitory. Unfortunately, he didn't activate any of the other types of magic. Bai Fan privately guessed that the reason why he could activate the Bright Flame was the Heart of Light sealed on his arm, and if he could find treasures of other attributes, he should be able to activate the corresponding magic.
At the beginning of the year, Erin successfully passed the wizard test and was able to stay at Thord Academy with excellent talent. When Erin appeared in front of him, he was taken aback. The so-called eighteen changes of the female university, Erin could only be regarded as a good-looking Lori two years ago, but now she has become slim, and her delicate face has both the three-dimensional sense of the facial features of Westerners and the soft beauty of Orientals. When I took her to the bedroom for dinner for the first time, everyone's eyes were straight, and Bai Wen, who was usually calm and gentle, lost his mind from time to time, and was provoked by Bill to say "Have you taken a fancy to Irene?" and immediately blushed, which immediately embarrassed Bai Fan and Bai Wen. Erin laughed like a little fox who had stolen a hen.
After collecting his thoughts, Bai Fan carefully confirmed once again that all the arrangements were not flawed. Because he still retains the habits of his previous expeditions, he still carries things like tents, flints, and medicines with him. Everything was prepared in double portions, one in the backpack and one in the space ring. In addition, adequate water and food are provided in case of emergency.
After sorting out his belongings, Bai Fan slept for the first time in a long time. When I woke up, it was already dawn. Since there are more than 30 places occupied by Soder College, the school has made unified arrangements. Together with Barton, he and Barton followed the crowd to the docks, one of the local academies, and by the time they arrived, almost all the people who had participated in the expedition had already arrived. There was a large crowd of people, and the square of the pier was crowded.
The crowd dispersed, chatting in twos and threes, and the difference between the academies did not affect everyone at all. In addition to the mage, Bai Fan noticed that there were more than a thousand warriors, and Barton also enthusiastically pulled a strange warrior and chatted happily, "Bai Fan, let me introduce you." This is Dom, one of my friends during my adventures, an earth-based earth warrior. Dom, this is my second brother Bai Fan, the great magician of the light system. If you encounter it in the secret realm of space, don't fight your own family. ”
The warrior named Dom grinned, stretched out his hand to Bai Fan and said loudly: "More than ten years ago, I proposed to bow down to that guy from Patton, but he still refused. Now that you have a second brother, you are still Bai Fan. Please take care of it when you get to the secret realm. ”
Bai Fan looked at Dom carefully, his height was only about one meter six, barely flush his shoulders. However, it is impossible to underestimate, the broad shoulders are one meter and two meters apart, the solid muscles are tangled, one arm is thicker than his thigh, and the hand hangs down to touch the knee. With copper-colored skin, it stands there like a stone wall, as if it will never fall. Dressed in thick armor, he holds a large hammer in his left hand. Compared to other tall warriors, it is not inferior at all. After a friendly handshake, Bai Fan asked, "Dom, will you also join the expedition?" I thought it was only the mage who participated. ”
Later, after understanding Bai Fan, he learned that the reason why only mages participated in the selection competition and not warriors did not mean that there were no warriors in the secret realm of space. But for the Empire, there are too many warriors who can participate in the expedition, most of the warriors can reach the realm of the Earth Warrior in the academy, but for the vast majority of people, they will be stuck at the limit of the Earth Warrior for the rest of their lives. Therefore, the number of warriors to participate in the expedition is recommended by the mage, and each mage can recommend two warriors as his teammates. And the royal family will also send some guards as freedom fighters. So in total there will be about two thousand fighters.
When teleporting to the Secret Realm, it is a random teleportation, and according to previous experience, the mage initially had no way to find his recommended teammates. However, as a means of coping, warriors will usually join forces with the mage they first encounter until they meet the mage who recommended them. And as Caton's sworn enemy, Bick will also send men, although it is not known where Bick got in, but the number of people is about the same as Caton, and this is their worst enemy. The Holy Empire will also send people, and generally will not fight when they meet. The orcs of the steppe will also send men, but they will be much smaller in number. The best way to distinguish between the various forces is to listen to the accents, which vary greatly from place to place.
Suddenly, a voice that was obviously amplified by magic came, "Everyone, please pay attention! This time, the entrance to the Spatial Secret Realm is above the North Sea! You will set off in Twenty Giant Ships in Linhai City." Now let's get on the boat and head to the waterfront, be careful not to get crowded!"
Bai Fan turned his head to look at the pier, but unfortunately he could only see a dense head. The warriors were so tall that some of the impatient mages flew straight into the air, but they were quickly stopped. As the crowd slowly moved forward, Bai Fan couldn't help but think of the time when the Spring Festival was crowded with trains.
After waiting for a while, it was finally their turn, and after getting on the boat, Bai Fan lay on the railing with some worries. Two years ago, when he was trying to qualify for the secret realm of space, he still regarded himself as a passerby in this world, and adventure was the only thing he wanted to do. Second, the people around me did not mention the possible risks. But now that Erin has successfully become a magician, his mentality has quietly changed.
Seeing that Bai Fan was a little silent, Barton, as the eldest brother, couldn't help but care: "What's wrong with Bai Fan, what's on your mind?"
Bai Fan thought for a moment and asked, "Barton, do you know how big the mortality rate of the Spatial Secret Realm is in general?"
Barton touched his chin and said with some uncertainty, "It should be less than two percent." After all, everyone is looking for treasures and chances, and it would be better if they could find some magic books left over from ancient times. There is no benefit to who wants to fight around. And I heard that the secret realm is very large, and the possibility of encountering the Bick people is not very high. ”
Bai Fan thought silently for a while, as a magister he should surprise everyone. Those who participate in the expedition are all great magicians who want to go further, as long as they are not besieged and there is no way out, their lives are not in danger. After coming back to his senses, he asked in a low voice, "Barton, have you gained anything from the magic structure drawings I gave you?"
Barton looked around for a week before he said carefully, "The structure diagram you gave me has really helped me a lot. But I always felt like I didn't understand it thoroughly. I know everything about this magic, and all the structure and functions are very clear. But I just don't know what it's trying to say. ”
After hearing this, Bai Fan's heart moved: "Oh, what do you mean by this, can magic still express anything?" Even though no one around was paying attention, Barton still said cautiously: "This is also something I just discovered. According to what Bai Wen said last time, I spent time searching for some ancient information, and finally I found a book that said that when ancient magicians created magic spells, they hid the rules they understood in them. But the problem is that now we don't know exactly what these rules are. Even if you draw all the structure, we won't be able to grasp it. If rules are like a treasure trove, now it's like the keys are given to us, but we don't know which door to open!"
Bai Fan was stunned, as if he had heard it from Bai Wen. But I didn't pay attention to it, I just heard that this is the key to the magician's breakthrough. "According to you, we still need to find out the rules corresponding to magic, but the rules are so abstract, how can we find them!"
So our main purpose this time is to try to find some relevant texts. The empire is very well cleaned, and I don't think we can find what we want out there. Even if you can't find a detailed correspondence, even if you know what the rules are!" Barton was more cautious, word for word.
Bai Fan thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Even if we find it, it shouldn't be easy to grasp." If the rules are easy to grasp, then can the ancient ascension catch a handful?"
Barton laughed out loud, "Even if it's just a chance." I also want to be immortal, standing in the sky like a god!" The surrounding noise suddenly stopped, and after a while, many people nodded frequently, some even shouted cheers, and strangers came to greet Barton.
Bai Fan looked at the group of people who were in a frenzy around him, and suddenly felt that his momentum was a little insufficient. Compared to them, his immortal heart seems to be not firm enough.
