The black fire in the distance spread across the cracked earth, and the weak force field was eroding every ounce of vitality in the flesh. The plump skin gradually dried up and withered, and the vision was blurred, and the only thing I could see was a huge black shadow, roaring madly.

The purple fire, full of strange power, shook out from the black shadow's body.

One of the flames fell in front of me. In an instant, the burning sensation spread all over the body-

Angels snapped his eyes open.

The moment his eyelids opened, he saw a fat face with a look of surprise and panic.

Before Ingres could begin to explore the meaning of his look, he felt a burning sensation all over his body. He jerked over, rolled off the metal operating table, and knocked a dry lab of lab tools to the ground.

It was only then that Angel realized that he was lying on an operating table before. There was a scorching flame burning below, but the flame was quietly disappearing, and the source of the fading flame was Brufen's finger.

Angel stood up and looked at Bruffin with a wary look.

He was lying on the operating table, and there was a flame under the operating table, and the various experimental tools that he had knocked over all indicated something.

Brufen's eyes kept wandering, humming a little song, and he looked like he didn't care about himself. It's just that his eyes don't dare to meet Ingres's eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Ingres looked at Bruffin coldly.

Only then did Bruffin look directly at Angel and shrug his shoulders a little wryly: "I didn't do anything." ”

"Then why am I here, huh?

"I just see that you are asleep, help you find a position where you can stretch your feet, isn't the operating table more spacious?" Brufen coughed twice and said dryly.

Angels' eyes were fixed on the flames under the operating table, which had been extinguished by Brufen, but the heat remained.

Brufen didn't wait for Angel to ask, and continued: "It's a little cold on the operating table, I'll help you warm up a little and sleep more comfortably." ”

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

"You don't believe yourself, you don't even have clothes on you, I haven't done anything. Bruffin continued to quibble, and his expression looked reasonable.

He was telling the truth, and he was about to do something when Angel suddenly woke up.

Ingres's clothes were indeed not damaged, and he himself felt that there was no sense of anything unusual on his body, and Bruffin may be telling the truth. Of course, it is not excluded that something has been done, and he did not find out.

In any case, Brufen's previous actions were absolutely not benevolent.

Ingres didn't speak, his mind racing as he remembered what had happened.

He still remembered that Bruffin had brought him back to continue displaying his alchemical works. Angel also touted it at the right time, so that Bruffin was proud and leaked a lot of dry goods.

Why did he fall asleep?

Ingres remembered that Bruffin stood at the door of the mysterious cubicle once again after the introduction.

Before going to the Frost Moon Bar, Angel noticed what appeared to be a large figure in the cubicle, and something that looked like an octopus tentacle dancing.

The degree of that behemoth was several times greater than that of the giant-eyed evil god Naiafert outside.

Angel thought that Bruffin was going to open the door to introduce the creatures in the cubicle, but Bruffin didn't, and simply said: "It's a sample of an experiment I'm working on, and the experiment hasn't been completed yet, so I won't introduce it." ”

The guest is as he pleases, and Ingres doesn't care. His curiosity is not so heavy.

But just as Bruffin was leaving with Angels, there was a stir in the door.

Bruffin shouted "Oops", and the next second, a strange melody came out of the door. Before Angel could react, he felt his eyelids droop.

I just remember that before I fell asleep, the last thought in my mind was "this seems to be the sound of a flute", and then I fell into a sweet and dark dream.

Then he had a strange dream, in which he was burned by fire, and he was burned with it.

Brufen saw that Ingres's eyes changed from trance to clear, and he immediately said, "I didn't do anything anyway, all this is just a misunderstanding, and I didn't wake up long before you." ”

Operating tables, flames, laboratory tools...... If it was a misunderstanding, Ingres didn't believe it at all.

But what could he do? Bruffin was also a formal wizard, and as an apprentice, he was naturally a cut shorter than the others.

"Master Brufen, since there is nothing to do, I will leave first. He wanted to ask why he had fallen asleep before, but now he wanted to stay away from Brufen's lab rather than investigate the cause.

Brufen hesitated for a moment: "Didn't you say before that you were going to have an alchemy exchange?"

"Next time. ”

Bruffin sighed in his heart, he was very wronged, he really didn't start doing anything, but he didn't get the benefits, and even the original exchange seemed to be in vain.

"Then ......," Brookin paused, wondering if there was any other way to save it.

But at this moment, a huge "buzzing" sound, as if passing through time and space, reached their ears in an instant.

"Oops!" Brufen's brow furrowed suddenly, his expression darkened, and he turned around and ran towards the mysterious cubicle from before.

At the same time, strange rhythms reappear in the mysterious cubicle. Immediately after, a mysterious flute sound came from the compartment.

This time, Ingres didn't dare to listen again, but turned his head and ran towards the door.

He is still in Brufen's alchemy workshop, which means that he is completely within Brufen's domain. For his own safety, he had to get out first.

Fortunately, Bruffin did not close the door of the alchemy workshop, and on the other hand, Brufen did not have time to care about Angels' movements, and Angels ran out of the door smoothly.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Angel felt a familiar dizziness.

The sound of the flute still affected him, and Ingres bit the tip of his tongue, and the sharp pain slightly dispelled the desire to sleep.

Angel continued to run outside the lab.

Halfway through the run, the huge "buzzing" sound from before resounded in the sky again. In the alchemy workshop just now, I didn't feel anything, but now when I came out, I found that the sound was simply deafening.

However, to Angels' surprise, as the sound poured into his ears, the dizziness in his mind decreased significantly.

Next, after leaving the lab, Angel ran out along the road.

Along the way, Ingres still heard the loud "buzzing" sound, and he slowly recognized that the sound seemed to be a bell.

Moreover, this bell contains a sense of majesty and holiness. It seems to represent the will of heaven and earth, dispelling all negative evils.

The bell rang thirteen times, and by the fifth ring, Ingres was no longer dizzy.

By the time the bell stopped, Ingres had already appeared on the iceberg's mountainside platform.

He had intended to fly straight to the top of the iceberg, but when he looked out from the mountainside platform, he noticed that Frostwings had not continued to fly, but was hovering over an island.

That's right, islands.

Today, they are not on land at all, but on a territory surrounded on all sides by oceans.

The midday sun shines down, and the water ripples reflect the sparkling waves. The familiar salty sea breeze comes from the pavement.

Angels: "This is ......"

"This is the Baikal Sea. A deep female voice came from behind.

Ingres looked back, only to see Madeleine appear behind him at some point.

"Lord Madeleine, why are you here?" asked Ingres, confused.

Instead of answering Ingres' question, Madeleine asked rhetorically, "I sensed that you were running out of the iceberg and running in a hurry. What, what's going on?"

A cold light flashed in Madeleine's eyes, since she had promised Lord Ryan to protect Angels as much as possible, she would naturally pay more attention to Angels's betting.

Angel briefly talked about what happened in the alchemy workshop before.

After listening to this, Madeleine examined Ingres slightly: "Brufen shouldn't lie to you, there is no trace of external force on your body." However, judging by your description, Bruffin may indeed have intentions to do something to you. ”

Madeleine sneered: "Sure enough, the people who study bioalchemy are all crazy. ”

Ingres always felt that Madeleine did not seem to be scolding Brufen, but using it to scold another person.

"Anyway, Brufen you'd better have less contact. Madeleine said.

After what happened before, Ingres naturally won't run to die again. Maybe Bruffin didn't plan to move him at first, but sometimes, in a flash, the mind is born and dies, especially all wizards who only look at personal interests, and no one can tell how fast the thought turns.

One second may be staggered, and the next second is no longer a few.

Even Madeleine.

The relationship between Ingres and Madeleine is actually extremely meager. Perhaps, when the profits far exceeded her expectations, she might sell Angels backhanded.

Thinking of this, Angels silently restrained his slightly publicized thoughts after realizing that his reputation had risen.

At this moment, a series of figures passed through the sky, and I saw that all the wizards on the iceberg had left the Frost Wings.

"This is the boundary island of the Baikal Sea, and it won't be long before we cross the border, so we don't have to stay here anymore," Madeleine explained. Let's go down too. ”

With that, Madeleine flew out first.

Angel followed, and ended up on the beach of Boundary Island.

As soon as he fell, Ingres felt a pair of eyes that looked him from head to end, not sparing every inch. However, this feeling of being watched did not last long, and soon, the other party's gaze was averted.

Angles looked left and right suspiciously, trying to see who was watching him.

Madeleine said at this time: "No need to look for it, it is the eye of the extremist sect."
