"I'm amazed that you came back alive. Before it was full dawn, Penny carefully groped his way to his mentor.

Under the cover of that black thing and his keen perception, it was not difficult to do such a thing, and it did not even alarm any red-robed mage or apprentice.

Even if someone was alarmed by him, Penny wouldn't know, so he didn't think much about it.

The red-robed mages are all secretive and selfish creatures, and probably no one cares too much about other people's actions, of course, after seeing the dark circles on Zhan Huashi's face, he feels that this concept is sometimes subverted.

Thankfully, that's the case.

Penny didn't want to imagine what he would be like now without the middle-aged man opposite.

Maybe it won't make a big difference, but it's always nice to have a little more care in the cold world.

"I'm sorry, but I was approached by a high-level mentor to help with an experiment. Penny replied truthfully.

Anyway, there must be more than one mage who didn't attend the dinner, and no one will be suspicious when he says it.

Of course, he only said a small part of the story.

What happens after that is a secret that will always sink to the bottom of my mind.

Zhan Huashi didn't dig deeper, just looked at the student's limbs intact, and did not pass his hands and feet, nodded a little reassuringly, opened his mouth, and asked why he left the table halfway last night, but finally shook his head, feeling that this concern was a little redundant.

"Mentor, who was that twenty-something mage who was with Lord Neveron yesterday?" his student decided to solve his doubts, because this matter also had something to do with Zhan Huashi.

Of course, you must first understand where this guy came from, otherwise Penny may not be able to eat and sleep at night.

"That young man?" Jen Wens frowned, and quickly knew who the student was referring to, because there was only one person who met Penny's description last night: "He is Lifar Odyssilon, a disciple of Lord Neveron, a newly promoted red robe, the core bloodline of Odyssilon, and is about to become the logistics secretary of the Southern Legion." ”

"Lifal Odesillon. Repeating the name of the mentor and noticing the surname, Penny's brow furrowed deeply.

"Is there anything particularly noteworthy?" Zhan Huashi's intelligence was not low, he quickly sensed the motive of Penny's inquiry, and his expression changed: "You had something to do with him when you left the game midway last night?"

"I'm afraid so, Teacher......" Penny took a deep breath, "Remember the monster you told me to investigate in the Northlands, the leader of the Heartless Order?"

Jan Washi nodded.

"The monster was attached to him, and I could feel his ability to recognize me. Penny rubbed his temples, "So I didn't dare stop in that place." ”

The teacher's expression changed from doubtful to solemn, until his face was as calm as the muddy waters of a swamp.

Of course, he remembered how he had to do with it.

"Looks like you're quick enough. James was silent for a moment, as if relieved.

Penny nodded, "If this man is going to stay in the south for a long time, I think it's necessary for me to avoid him." ”

He sighed, and it wasn't hard to imagine how much movement he would make if he were exposed to that monster.

What is certain is that he does not have the ability to compete with Odyssilon's core bloodline, not to mention that there is a legendary mage standing behind the other party.

"That's true. Zhan Huashi nodded solemnly: "However, now that this place is closed, I'm afraid it's not a good idea to leave now." ”

"Closed?" Penny was stunned.

"Probably to prevent a widespread leak. Zhan Huashi sighed: "Last night, Lord Neveron released a legendary spell, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave here until this legendary spell is completed." ”

Penny's heart sank, a legendary mage set up a closed door, he didn't have much confidence to challenge.

"Actually, this closure is not strict. Zhan Huashi spread his hands again: "Last night, Lord Nosnoah left after informing Lord Neveron, probably to prevent leakage to spies from other countries nearby, but if you want to leave, you need to notify the Chief Lord first, leaving without permission will probably attract surveillance and investigation." ”

Penny's cheeks twitched, and the path didn't seem to work.

Notifying the Chief Adult is equivalent to notifying the Chief Lord's disciples?

How could he be so stupid as to send himself to the door?

"So you go into hiding here for a few days. Zhan Huashi raised his eyebrows, looking a little helpless.

It seems that this can only be the case.

Penny leaned back against the wall in deep thought.

"By the way, Mentor, what is the Legendary Spell?" After pondering for a moment to no avail, Penny finally caught a message from Jhan's words.

Without attending the meal in its entirety, he certainly wouldn't have known what had happened after he left.

"Oh, that's the topic of this seminar......" James began.

...... Reboot the Blackhall Stone.

"It's a really good idea. The spirit image in Penny's eyes said in a faint tone: "That stone is connected to at least ten layers of abyss, and if it can be fully opened, it can teleport hundreds of middle and high-level demons every day. ”

For information about the abyss, Belém is naturally much more sensitive.

"But it has nothing to do with us. Penny spread his hands.

"Of course it does. Belen said in an affirmative tone, "Abyss Lord. ”

"You're looking for the Abyss Lord in there?" the mage frowned, "When the portal is fully established, we can sneak in, but, measure our strength, and hopefully we can find a suitable Abyss embryo." ”

His tone was a little helpless.

Although some of the newly born Abyssal Will parasites are weak, this weakness is also relative.

At least, the monsters that are 'powerful' in the ordinary sense are not necessarily their opponents.

Moreover, such an abyss lord is rare in the abyss, and if you want to meet it, you also need a certain amount of luck.

It's as if Durin Van Don had the same luck as Belen, and of course, it could turn out to be bad luck like him.

"We're going to give it a try. "This is my only chance," Belen said. ”

"Okay, actually, I have a better plan...... Penny frowned, raised his head, and said to Belen in a very low tone: "If I'm not mistaken, the demon that lives on the body of Lifar Odesilon seems to have been an abyss lord at the same time, can we ......"

"You're going to assassinate him?" said Belen, who had Penny in mind.

The mage nodded.

"Are you sure?"

Penny shook his head again.

"A legendary mage. He sighed, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, "It may not be easier to deal with than the Abyss Lord with mature strength. ”

Belen stopped talking, and Penny visibly felt some disappointment.

He could understand this feeling, because its spirit state could only move when it was close to the embryo, and now it was even more through Penny's body that it could use some of its spell-like abilities, and in the case of dismissing his subordinates, it would not even be able to protect itself if it left Penny.

So it desperately wants to break out of its shell.

"You don't have to be so discouraged. Penny comforted, his tone flickering, "Compared to the Abyss Lords in those unknown planes, this one is at least visible and tangible, and, from my point of view, I must find an opportunity to kill him." ”

The presence of this person, Lifal Odesillon, is a mortal threat to Penny.

It's not for nothing that there is to avoid this threat, and if it was before, the mage would choose to run away.

But according to the style of the red-robed mage, finding an opportunity to kill him is the best way out, and the current Penny does not reject this approach.

I have to say that he has begun to get used to the red-robed mage.

"His own strength is not very good, and it is not difficult to kill him if it is planned properly. The mage silently calculated, revealing his thoughts to Belen, who was eager to come out of the shell.

If it comes to killing, Penny has a lot of hole cards, Belen's spell-like power, plus the Barlow Fire Demon in his pocket, if it is reasonably planned, there is no Faeron who he can't kill.

Although this non-original Ballow Demon has some problems with his mind, the power is indeed genuine.

"The key is to find opportunities. Penny's eyebrows tightened, his fingers tapping into a regular sound on the table, he pondered for a few more seconds, then took out the 'black charcoal' found in the abyss again, and flipped through the notebook on the table: "This thing should allow me to get close to him quietly." ”

"Have you found a way to use it?" Belén was intrigued as he looked at the Mind Flayer record through Penny's gaze.

After waking up from a catch-up sleep, while James Wath was out to participate in the study of legendary spells, Penny was flipping through the Mind Flayer's spell research notes.

For Penny, the Mind Flayer's research notes had long since lost their usefulness.

Because the Mind Flayer is a naturally psionic creature.

Records read in spell books tell Penny that while some of the tricks are useful to him, the huge difference between psionic and arcane castes means that even when the Mind Flayer studies arcane, he is affected by his natural psionic habits.

And in the abyss of the source sea, which is extremely chaotic, it has caused the Mind Flayer Demon's spell research notes to look a little weird.

Many times, it has difficulty distinguishing whether the power used when launching a spell comes from the will or the mind.

Using the mind to drive the source power requires extremely strong willpower, using the rules of the source sea itself to trigger supernatural power, using thinking and wisdom.

This is one of the most fundamental differences between psionic and arcane.

As a result, the content of this spellbook is slightly confusing, and it is not a complete study of the arcane, and it is obviously more suitable for the Mind Flayer who is interested in delving into the arcane in the abyss than for human spellcasters.

As his understanding of the arcane has grown, Penny has put it down for a long time.

However, the magical black charcoal bar he had obtained from the abyss made him turn the notebook out again, and he felt the need to know more about it.

In the past, Penny did not pay much attention to these contents that had nothing to do with the arcane law, especially when it came to the records of such objects, and he did not get the physical object, so naturally there was no value in looking through them.

Such a unique thing appeared in the Mind Flayer's mage tower, and Penny would not believe that the Mind Flayer knew nothing about it.

The contents of the note did not disappoint Penny either, and after looking through it for a while, he finally found an account of the item.

"The octopus head called this thing the 'Patyak Hub', and it seems to be a research object of their tribe. Penny frowned, "This Mind Flayer tribe has been destroyed by a group of Gisyankees, and this thing has fallen into its hands, and there are some accounts of this thing." ”

"What can it do?" Belen didn't follow Penny's gaze to read the Mind Flayer's records, as it wasn't a professional sorcery or psionic researcher, and it was difficult for it to read such things.

Of course, if it read it carefully, instinct and the knowledge of spells from Penny's soul would still make it understand.

But with Penny here, why would it bother to do such a thing?

"That Mind Flayer tribe has been studying it for hundreds of years. The mage looked at the notes and snorted, "But they obviously didn't study it very clearly, and only understood a few functions. ”

"How many functions?"

"This should be an energy integrator. Penny frowned: "Integrating the chaotic and diverse energies, perhaps, to put it another way, this is a steady flow device." ”

"Flow stabilizer?" Belen said in a puzzled tone.

He obviously couldn't understand otherworldly words.

"Use it to block out apparently discordant energy flows, and if used correctly, use it to form an enchantment. The mage said, trying to inject a wave of psionic energy.

This is how the Mind Flayer activates this thing.

The Patyak Nexus flickered, and nothing changed around it.

"That's it?" Belen felt a little ridiculous.

"Of course it is. The mage tilted his head: "Don't underestimate this, join someone who is looking at me from three yards away now, whether it is with ** natural perception or other supernatural perception, you will find that I don't exist, and directly use energy to attack me, it will be sucked away, but we need to pour out this energy immediately, otherwise it doesn't have a device to store energy." ”

Penny checked the hub: "We can use this thing to integrate the flow of energy around us, and then hide our ......"

"That way, I can try to get close to that guy. His eyes flickered: "As long as I disguise it a little, that demon will not be able to distinguish my scent, and it will not recognize me." ”

"Oh, so in the abyss, it also spontaneously protects me in this way?" Belen's tone was confused: "Why?"

"God knows. The mage waved his note: "What exactly this thing is, where it comes from, even the Mind Flayer doesn't know, as for Patyak, it is the code name of the master of this Mind Flayer tribe." ”

He also wondered why this thing would spontaneously protect Belen, and he had been carrying this thing for a short period of time, and he found that no matter how the surroundings changed, this thing and the embryo in the magic bag were always connected to a channel that seemed to be nothing, which was very weird.

According to the Mind Flayer, the Nexus was discovered by its kindred in an astral ruin by a very fortuitous circumstance, and if it hadn't been for the spectral ability that triggered its anomaly, they would likely have ignored this inconspicuous thing.

Belen was silent for a while, deciding not to pursue the issue any further.

If you can't find the answer, it's a waste of your brain to think about it.

"According to their masterminds, it must be part of a magical artifact. The mage turned another page and saw a new line: "According to its inference, the complete body of this thing has terrible powers......

Reading this, the mage was a little shocked.

With just this one part, you can absorb the attack of the power of the abyss, so what will the complete body be?

"Their tribe has been looking for ...... too," the mage frowned and closed his note, "That's all." ”

......What's wrong with you?" After a while, the mage didn't hear Belen's reaction, and asked rhetorically with some confusion.

"One part. Belen threw out a sentence without a head.

The mage is inexplicable.

"I think I probably know what it is. Belen said.

"Oh?" the mage raised an eyebrow, "You know?"

"I don't know. Belém said again.

"Don't fool me. The mage was annoyed.

"To be exact, there seems to be another part in my embryo that goes with it. Belen said.

"Huh?" the mage was dumbfounded, "What's that?"

"I don't know. Belen said: "I used to eat it, I don't know its name. ”

"Where did you eat it?" the mage asked.

"You...... After I entered the abyss, I returned to the main material realm for the second time. Belen thought for a moment.

"Eltabor's Institute?" Penny frowned.

"It's in that big pile of things on the ground. "I sensed something different about the ingredients of that thing, so I ate it," Belen said. ”

"That pile of stuff ......" pulled out the scene from distant memory, and the mage asked, "What does it have to do with Imasca?"

"Well, I didn't expect this thing to be able to tidy up my stomach. It continued, "I accidentally ate something bad in the abyss, and when I came into contact with that part, it was transformed into a power that I could accept. ”

"Astral Boundary...... Imaska?" The mage fiddled with the pile of parts, his tone filled with more doubt.

......
