Black and white envelop the entire world.

Rod raised his head and could see the sky shrouded in darkness not far away, black and white were clearly separated, as if there was an invisible barrier in front of him to isolate the light, obviously it was just a line of separation, but the scenery in front of him was completely different.

It was then that Rhodes heard the sound of "crunching" on the snow, and when he turned around, he saw Selestina turning from behind the tree and walking towards him. The devil's lady changed into a relatively light costume today, but it was still as luxurious and gorgeous as ever, in addition, Rod also saw a heavy plush cloak draped behind Selestina, and the girl's face was a little pale under the howling of the wind and snow, and when she noticed Rod's eyes, Selestina was not to be outdone, and glared back viciously. But to Rhodes it was more of a bluff, and he shrugged his shoulders and looked away to look ahead. And the devil lady, who was fluttering and empty, gritted her teeth and snorted dissatisfiedly, of course, Rod didn't hear it.

After deliberation, the consensus reached by everyone was that no matter what, scouts would always be sent, but there were some disputes over the choice of candidates. And in the end, when Rhodes stood up and said that he was responsible, it aroused the opposition of many people, no matter what, Rhodes was also the commander and lord of the fortress, and the lord and commander of a place personally went into battle to reconnoiter the enemy, which is also a good story. However, in the eyes of everyone, this is too risky, and if it fails, the consequences are unimaginable. Not only Marlene, Lijie and others objected. Even Sir Byr thought that Rhodes's idea was too bold and risky, and that he was gambling with the fate of the entire fortress once he was discovered. If you are killed, then everything is completely finished. Of course, not everyone is against this. For example, Anne has been echoing loudly beside her, but of course Rhodes understands the little guy's thoughts, and he just wants to take the opportunity to go with him.

Naturally, Lando and Joey didn't agree to Rod's proposal, they were both scouts. Naturally, they understood how dangerous this was, and the two of them also put forward some of their own opinions, such as sending some scouts who were not familiar with the situation of the fortress, or carrying some magic props with self-destruct functions, if something was wrong, they would explode directly, and the corpse would be blown to pieces, and nothing would happen. Some of them swore that they would never be discovered, and they would be very, very careful, and if they found out that something was wrong, they would just teleport back to the fortress——— anyway, they had the "Ring of Returning to the City" in their hands.

Rhodes did not object to any of these opinions. On the contrary, he just clasped his hands in his arms, and waited until everyone had finished expressing their opinions, and then spoke leisurely.

"I don't underestimate your ambition and loyalty, and I think you have enough strength, but it must still be done by me, because there is one thing. None of you can do it. ”

"What's the matter? Your Excellency? ”

Hearing this, Joey was a little curious. He also asked with some dissatisfaction. Hearing the dissatisfaction in Joey's tone, Rod just glanced at him lightly, and then spoke.

"Even if you see it, do you know what class those necromantic creatures belong to?"

“…………………”

Hearing this, everyone who was eager to refute just now suddenly turned out their fires, and they looked at each other. I can't say a word. Because Rod's words hit them in the underbelly, indeed, just to talk about the experience of the undead, Rhodes was enough to throw them ten streets, and in fact until now. Everyone's knowledge of the Undead Legion comes almost entirely from Rod's narration, and other than that, they don't know anything about it. This is a big no-no for scouts, even if there is only a slight difference between humans, even the slightest difference in the class will affect the commander's judgment of the entire battle situation. This is also the reason why most of the scouts are experienced veterans, they are well-informed, so that they will not confuse the Flame Knight with the Crimson Infantry, and this is the most important thing.

Although Marlene and Serena had learned a certain amount of knowledge about the undead, the illustrated book and the living creatures were two different things, and even if they were familiar with the families and orders of the undead, they would not be able to tell the difference between the skeleton soldier and the bone guard.

Sara is very familiar with this, but Rod didn't dare to let her go, although he took Sara's soul, and he was not afraid that this corpse slave would betray him, but Rod also knew very well that most of the slaves around the lich had magic marks on their bodies, although it was said that the corpse slaves would not have the heart of betrayal, but in a place like the Night Country, it was not strange to be captured or have any accidents, just in case the slaves around the corpse witch would have this kind of magic mark. Fortunately in the fortress, the death-proof barrier of the statue of the Holy Maiden can isolate the opponent's magic detection, once you get out of this door———— Ha Luha, just wait for the lich to follow the GPS location to find the door. There is no way for Rhodes to do this, as long as he finds the magic emblem of the corpse slave and then lets the canary erase it, but the trouble is that the location of the magic emblem is unknown to the corpse slave itself, and to find this magic emblem is to conduct a major examination, at least for the time being, Rod does not have the time to give Sara a list of physical examinations, so he can only give up.

In the end, Rod still decided to go alone, and he had enough confidence in himself, now Rod has entered the legendary realm, plus he has four holy sword cards in his hand, a total of five powerhouses in the legendary realm, with the current strength of the undead legion, it is simply wishful thinking to keep him. And Rhodes didn't need to risk his life to sneak into the camp of the undead legion, he just needed to find a suitable place and summon Greyhill and Madalas——— is it not possible to eat dry food?

But Rhodes is not a fool, as if he has a fog of war on his map, Rhodes is also very familiar with the undead army, those bone frames also have a strong anti-detection ability, in the early game players have suffered too much in this regard, because the difference between the living and the dead is too great, making them on the "radar" of necromancers and lichs is as dazzling as shining gems.

This also makes it common for early players to be intercepted by the undead army from time to time, and even divide and surround or something. At that time, many players were almost miserable about this, they cursed the game designer loudly and were simply crazy, but they still gritted their teeth for the sake of the rich rewards, and the so-called solutions were always thought up by people, and after the complaints of being tortured by the undead army, players were not fools. They quickly figured out all sorts of ways to evade the undead army, and after that, detecting the undead's forces was basically an easy outing for the player.

And the reason why Rod took Celestina is also one of them, as a player who kills undead creatures to a soft hand, Rod naturally knows that the detection spell of undead creatures is basically either life detection or detection of kindness, he doesn't think he is good, but in order to avoid accidents, he still let Celestina come out to help him top the tank, anyway, this pure devil lady is a 100% pure evil camp from the bones. This is still guaranteed by the pedigree.

However, Rod knew that this was just an insurance, and for this, he made another preparation.

"What a great tower."

Walking slowly up the white stairs, Serena couldn't help but subconsciously sigh at everything in front of her, and Marlene was by her side, although she didn't speak, but it could be seen from Marlene's expression that she agreed with Serena very much. It's no wonder that owning a mage tower of their own is almost every mage's lifelong aspiration and ideal. Even the likes of Marlene and Serena had dreamed of one day having their own mage tower. This is not just the condensation of strength, a mage tower represents the glory and destiny of the mage, and even everything.

Soon, the two of them walked up the stairs, and in a short time they came to the hall at the top of the tower, from which they looked in all directions. You can see the beautiful scenery all around, the cold wind mixed with the snowflakes whistling by, but it disappears as soon as it hits the barrier of magical power, and when you look up, you can see the patterns on the semi-circular dome that represent the wind and fire elemental realms. The whole hall looked a little deserted. It's no wonder that the money in Rod's hands is currently only enough to carry out a simple renovation of the Tour de France Tower, if it is really to be completely renovated, Rod's hands may not even have a little money left——— if the construction price of the statue of the Holy Maiden ranks among the top three in the entire territory of Rod, then the decoration price of the entire Tour de France Tower is definitely the first. In fact, the simple tower body and exquisite decoration don't cost much, but those magical botanical gardens, all kinds of alchemy and magic devices, plus the guardian circle, Mithril's library of ten thousand laws, or something......... That's the real big deal.

"You're here."

The canary, who was standing in the middle, heard the footsteps and turned around, looked at the two of them, and smiled slightly. Marlene smiled and nodded back to the canary, while Serena stood up nervously and gave the canary a solemn mage salute, almost in a panic.

"You, hello, esteemed Master Canary, I ......... It's a great honor to be invited to your Mage Tower, I'm Serena, the elemental mage of the Tour of Law Tower. Kandes. I ..............."

"Take it easy, Serena."

Hearing Serena's nervous tone, Canary smiled and spoke, her voice as gentle and calm as ever, unchanged. "Don't be so nervous, I'm only about the same age as you, just like Miss Marlene, just call me by my name."

"Yes............ Miss Canary. ”

Although she answered so, Serena still looked sincerely afraid, but the canary's calm tone made her relax a lot, and at this moment Serena had the opportunity to raise her head, curiously and carefully look at the girl in front of her, indeed as the canary said, she looked like she seemed to be about the same age as herself, but there was the most obvious difference between the two——— that is, the other party's body had stepped into the peak of the inner ring, surging like an angry wave.

Serena had heard about the canary rumors long before she came to the fortress of Atonement, but at that time Serena was a little unimpressed——— she was a shining star of the Tour de France, although she was not as dazzling as Marlene, but she also had the pride and confidence that a good rookie should have, in her opinion, the rumors were mostly exaggerated, and she herself was a talented mage. Naturally, I understand how difficult it is for mortals to break through that barrier and enter the inner ring, don't you see that Marlene's talent is even higher than her, but at this age, she is still a mage in the middle ring? If someone is really able to break through the barrier of the law and step into the inner ring realm at this age, how can they be obscure all this time?

After coming to the Land of Atonement, Serena has not been able to see each other because the Canary has been busy building the Mage Tower itself. It wasn't until today's meeting that she saw little bubblegum and canary for the first time.

But just this time, it's enough.

Also as a mage, Serena could certainly feel the thick power of the little bubblegum and the canary that almost broke through the sky, although both of them deliberately put away the thread of the law, but just the coercion from the rich magic power was enough to make Serena stunned. At this moment, the girl's view of the world was almost completely subverted, and what surprised her even more was that the canary was actually a wild mage with no formal education?! The Holy Soul is above. Is there any reason for this?

For a moment, Serena even felt that her title of genius in the Tour de France Tower was simply worthless, and in the face of a true genius, she was even worse than a beggar on the street. The contempt for the canary before, and the longing and awe after seeing the true strength of the other party are intertwined, which makes Serena very awkward.

Seeing Serena's performance in front of her, Marlene couldn't help but smile slightly, she could understand Serena's thoughts. In fact, Marlene herself had similar feelings for the canary at first, and the relationship between her and the canary was even more complicated due to the involvement of Rod. However, after a long time, Marlene gradually got used to it, and she found that as long as she was not so entangled, it was not an unacceptable result to accept the situation in front of her with her heart.

"Rhodes has reached the border, and it's up to us next."

The canary smiled and gestured to the two, and Marlene and Serena stepped forward. They were invited by the Canary to come here for more than just to see the Spellcasting Tower. Instead, they have to assist the canary to cast a detection spell together——— which mages can use to explore other areas like a satellite radar, but it doesn't have much effect in places where magic resistance is relatively high. In fact, the canary has also detected the other party's probing on his side several times, but the detection spell of the necromancer has its limitations after all, and it is protected by the enchantment of the Holy Maiden statue. The canary easily smashed the other party's probe, and now, instead of being rude, she also planned to return the other party a little color.

"I'm going to need the strength of both of you, so please stand here."

As she spoke, the canary stretched out her hand and pointed to her side, and it was only at this time that the two of them realized that at the canary's feet, a silver magic circle was exuding a faint glory. It takes the form of a triangle, with a circle in each of the three focal points where a person can stand, and beyond that, the most striking thing is the eye sign in the center of the triangle, and the mysterious runes that hover in circles around it. Seeing this rune, Marlene was fine, and Serena directly cried out in surprise when she saw these runes.

"This, this is the Secret Pattern Circle?"

"That's right."

The canary nodded, not changing in the slightest. And Serena is deep in her heart at the moment, the Holy Soul is above, she knows very well that the secret pattern circle is a kind of joint spell casting technique of ancient mages, it can perfectly integrate the power of each joint spell caster, and use it to match a spell. And under such a skill, the power of the spells cast is much stronger than that of ordinary spells. However, Serena also knew that this kind of magic circle had completely disappeared into history after the Creation War, and the three archmages in the Tour of Law Tower had spent hundreds of years, and so far only less than a tenth of it had been restored. If it weren't for the fact that Serena was fortunate enough to be a disciple of one of the archmages, and had seen the information about the secret pattern circle in the information, and knew some of the runes in it, I am afraid she would not have imagined that she would actually see a complete secret pattern circle here!!

With the Holy Soul on top, Serena was sure that if she told her teacher about this, I am afraid that the three masters would come here to observe and appreciate the formation of this secret pattern circle even if they were facing the end of the world. But.........

"But, Miss Canary, if I remember correctly, it would take twelve people to activate the Secret Pattern Circle..............."

"We don't need to unleash such powerful spells at the moment. And we don't have enough people, so I've simplified it, and this three-person version is enough for us to use. ”

Simplification..................

Hearing the canary's disapproving answer, Serena was completely petrified.

Soon, the three of them stood in an equilateral triangle around the crystal ball in front of them, and Serena was a little nervous. Marlene, on the other hand, had a serious face, and only the canary still maintained a soft smile.

"Don't worry, I'll use my strength as a guide, the eye of the storm will be used to probe secrets, and the power of the flame will be used to maintain the defense and counterattack. Miss Marlene, you are in charge of the protection of the earth, Miss Serena, and the cover of the ice and snow will be left to you. ”

"Yes, yes! Miss Canary! ”

Hear the canary talking. Serena responded nervously like a student named by a teacher in class, and then realized that she seemed to be a little nervous, and hurriedly shook her head, and then nodded again.

"Leave it to me, Miss Canary."

"So, let's get started."

The canary smiled softly, and she raised her hands. Reach ahead. At the same time, Marlene and Serena also reached out. Soon, the chant sounded, lingering in the howling storm of ice and snow, merging, and then following the invisible trajectory of the magic, spreading forward.

The wind and snow are howling.

The canary opened its eyes. Soon, in the void in front of the three of them, the snow appeared in front of them, like the scene of an aerial camera, and soon, the snow field flew past their eyes. Deep into the pitch-black realm.

"Hmm..............."

Serena couldn't help but let out a low voice, although she was only responsible for using the power of ice and snow to cover up the aura of magic to prevent the other party's detection, but after going deep into the border of the Night Country, the girl still felt the kind of magic breath from her fingers, full of evil and darkness, it seemed to merge with the cold chill, and even made Serena's fingertips slightly numb.

Soon, white switched to black.

In an instant, an infinite army of necromancy appeared in front of the three spellcasters, filling the entire void and almost connecting to the sky as far as the eye could see, merging with the pitch-black dome of the firmament. Seeing this scene in front of them, the canary raised her eyebrows, while Marlene and Serena almost held their breath——— with the help of magic, this was the first time they saw so many undead armies so clearly and intuitively, just standing here, seeing this scene in front of them, people couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

However, these scenes were only swept away, and they continued to advance inward, but at this moment, the magical images in front of the three of them suddenly began to distort.

"They're aware of our prying eyes!"

Serena was shocked, and she could feel the dark magic running through her wind and snow, towards the source of the magic, and crashing against the protection that Marlene had exerted. The strength of the other party was obviously very strong, and Marlene's face only turned pale in an instant, and she gritted her teeth, and the magic light that appeared in her hands became brighter and brighter. The canary did not give up immediately at this time, on the contrary, her right hand moved slightly, and with this movement, the scene in front of her was suddenly rotated one hundred and eighty degrees and scanned back and forth, and then, the pitch-black flames suddenly appeared on it.

"Stop!"

With the canary's order, Marlene and Serena hurriedly retreated, and then they saw a surging, powerful dark power burst out from the void scene——— but at this time, the canary's right hand suddenly erupted with dazzling and bright firelight, just an instant, I saw that the black force was quickly suppressed, and then the light flashed, and everything disappeared completely.

"Hoo ..............."

The canary clapped her palms and let out a sigh of relief.

"The general location of the enemy's army has been determined, and the detection and protection of the other side has also been destroyed, so it's up to Rhodes to follow.........

At this, the canary raised her head, looked at Marlene and Serena, and said with a smile.

"Then let's have a tea party." (To be continued......)
