320 Silver Serpent
"Is it really you?"
After a few months, neither Beria Meyer nor Pan Diesel had the slightest joy in their hearts to be reunited.
Especially for Penny, this woman almost killed him in the crypt down the mountain, and when they meet again, of course, this account must be calculated.
For Beria Mayer, confirming the identity of this man who is not too strange is not only troublesome, but also shocking.
Because the last time she saw this person, he wasn't as good as he is now.
Thinking that the other party was still holding the legendary staff of the Seven Laws in his hand made him feel even more troublesome.
It didn't seem like a wise idea to appear rashly, but she glanced at the little girl in the wizard's arms with a frightened face, and still shook her face, pretending to be relaxed:
"Oh, it's been a long time, I didn't expect you to be the famous Mr. Diesel, it was really rude last time. β
"Bad woman, beat bad woman!" the wizard raised his eyebrows, and before he could think of how to be a fool of this woman, Alexia in his arms puffed out her cheeks and waved her little fist and shouted, her childish voice echoing in the night sky, which suddenly added a touch of absurdity to the tense atmosphere.
Seeing the wizard's ridiculous gaze, Alexia tilted her head, her eyes showing two hints of confusion, her little mouth pursed, and she muttered quietly, "Kill the bad woman." β
"Ahem, in any case, dear Mr. Diesel, you must know that the little girl in your arms is not an ordinary lost little girl, and the consequences of casual abduction are not small. Feeling that it would be difficult to get the desired result with violence, Beria Meyr relented and decided to deign to take the form of negotiation: "I hope you will make an informed decision." β
"Wise decision?" The wizard glanced down at Alexia, the little girl wrapped tightly around his waist and her face full of evasion, he shook his head a little dazedly, and then looked at Beria Meyle, "I'm sorry, dear Miss Mayer, we should have a clear account before we can give me this advice." β
This sentence instantly made Beria Mayer's heart rise and fall with anger, and her eyes showed ghostly ripples, and she stared condescendingly into the wizard's eyes: "Accounts? This is the first time I've heard of someone I owe in my old age, Mr. Diesel, are you making a mistake." β
"Oh, since Lady Mayil is so forgetful, I'll have to find a way to make you remember, at least, I'm not in the mood to discuss anything else with you until this is settled. The wizard whispered a spell and gestured with his right hand, and the source power began to surge around his body.
"You're going to figure it out. Beria Mayer's body began to blur under the influence of psionic cover, but he still did not forget to persuade: "Before sticking with your foolish decision, ask yourself if you can withstand the wrath of the High Prince." β
The Most High Prince?
Penny's hand paused, frowning slightly.
The supreme prince in the mouth of a ghost city, there can be no second person other than Teramant Tanshur.
Among the existing wizards in Faeron, the mana can be compared to this great arcanist who has been hidden in the shadow realm for thousands of years, and he can count it on one hand.
Hearing that his choice could provoke the wrath of the High Prince, the wizard sensed that the words coming out of the female psyker did not seem like a threat, and he glanced down at Alexia, who still had a crumpled face.
This is not a small trouble...... Much bigger than he could have imagined.
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of Beria Mayer, and at the moment when the wizard hesitated and was stunned, a light fell from the sky and shot into the wizard's arms, and Penny reacted at this moment, and the aborted spell was guided in an instant, and as his finger was raised, a dull sound sounded in the middle of Beria's charge.
Solidly hit a force field wall, Beria Mayer's outer spiritual power field emitted a strong fluctuation, the wizard did not stop, raised his hand again, and before Belial had time to withdraw, another force field wall had already sealed her back path, and at the same time, the wizard's mouth released a powerful spell again, her eyes were slightly in a trance, and she felt that her vision began to blur.
This is the mantra of blindness.
It's not that she doesn't know the spell.
"Whatever this young lady may have to do with the High Prince, I do not think that Your Excellency is someone with whom I can discuss this matter. The wizard did not stop his spells, and changed his hands more quickly, and with sporadic chanting, more powerful magical power began to surge around him.
It's too fast.
Beria Mayel was amazed, this wizard cast spells faster than most wizards she had ever seen, although she had seen it once, but in that battle, spells were a secondary factor, and it was only then that she realized more deeply how powerful this wizard was.
However, she didn't panic, a dark flame poured out of her body, and the surrounding spell blockade quickly dissolved under the erosion of this flame, the wizard frowned, under the wrapping of shadow fire, most of the arcane arts had lost their effect on it, although no matter how strong the protection could withstand the attack power, it was limited, but he may not have that long.
He pulls out a hardhead hammer in a strange formβtaken from the vampire king's trophies.
This is an artifact, and after a long period of research, he already knows it very well.
Although relatively rudimentary, this unknown hammer does contain the power to transcend the limit, and Penny has not had time to study it carefully, but it can come in handy at this time.
To deal with this kind of divine protection, it will certainly be more convenient to hold an offensive artifact.
So Beriameil quickly sensed the trouble.
The hammer smashed head-on under the control of the strengthening mage's hand, and just after breaking the magic blockade, the shadow fire shook violently under the hammer, as if boiling in an instant, turning into smoke and dissolving into the air.
Her eyes widened and she looked at the hammer incredulously, and when it swung again, striking her body with a force that made her feel dizzy.
The wizard raised his hand again, hesitating to kill the woman.
Beriameil belongs to the City of the Shadows and is an important figure in the Shar Church, and if he were killed, he would undoubtedly cause even greater trouble.
However, given the previous hatred between the two, it is obvious that this kind of thing is no longer good, and the wizard does not want to keep this enemy who may cause him endless trouble.
Or you can detain her first and then think of a suitable way to deal with it.
It's a good idea.
The wizard thought to himself and began to cast a spell of imprisonment.
This high-level spell works well to lock down the target captive.
However, Beria Meyer was not reconciled to this, she used all her strength to drive the psionic energy in her head, and prayed to her master, and the scattered shadow fire and psionic protection were constantly shattered by the hammer, but it also opened up space between her and the wizard.
As the mage's new spell came to an end, she glared at the wizard fiercely, her blue pupils glowing with hatred.
Penny felt ominous for a moment, and then he saw the familiar little box thrown out of Beria's hand and fall from the sky to the ground, only five or six yards away from him.
Penny, who was familiar with the lethality of the small box, knew that this was not a safe distance, and he quickly grabbed Alexia and Vika and jumped away from the small box, but to his surprise, there may be some taboos, the scope of this bomb was not as large as expected, and even the black annihilation power was transmitted less than ten yards, and even the walls on both sides of the road were only eroded for a short time.
Escaping the black horizon that annihilated everything, he couldn't help but exhale loudly.
The wizard raised his head and looked at the sky, where Beria Mayl was gone.
He lowered his gaze back to the ground, and once again saw the power of this ancient evil thing, and as his mana grew stronger, he felt more and more terrifying this power.
It's not just about transcending boundaries.
Penny frowned, and it occurred to him that if he wanted to find inspiration beyond the boundary, it would be much more efficient to study this kind of thing than to study artifacts.
When it comes to the power that transcends the shackles of the source sea, the ancient evil thing has a representative surname.
It was a dangerous idea, but it also touched Penny a little.
Also, who gave these things that belonged to Pendrum the God Slayer to these Shades?
This question resurfaced in his mind.
At this time, the key of Isil Aaron, which he had in his personal collection, suddenly emitted a strong agitation, which made Penny immediately alert, and quickly pulled it out, and saw that the crystal that was synthesized into two pieces emitted a bright light, and gradually disappeared, which told the wizard that at the moment just now, a key of Isil Aaron appeared nearby.
But apparently, it is now gone.
Penny shook his head, put it away, turned to the pale Vika, and smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, it seems to have really caused trouble." β
"I didn't ...... Never mind. The proprietress shook her head, still a little frightened, then looked at the child in Penny's arms, and frowned: "She has something to do with the High Prince? β
"Perhaps, but that woman had a grudge against me, and I can't talk to her about it. The wizard carried the little girl to his shoulder, although she was a little dizzy by the wizard just now, but then when she saw Beria Mayil go away, Alexia's expression suddenly became as bright as a flower: "The bad woman is gone!"
She let out a cheer like this, leaving the wizard speechless.
It seems that this amazingly large little girl will not understand what danger and tension are.
"Vika, go stay with me for a while. Penny frowned, the Shadows, the Dragon Witch Cult, Del Songpaya, all the dangerous people gathered in this small West Gate Harbor, which suddenly made the wizard feel that a greater crisis was imminent.
It doesn't seem so easy to build up strength in this corner.
He drew runes on the ground with a frown, preparing to teleport away, but he encountered this kind of interception halfway through the carriage, and if he walked on foot, he didn't know what he would encounter.
But just as he was about to leave, Alexia in his arms suddenly raised his head alertly, turned his eyes to the corner of the alley more than ten yards away, and followed Alexia's gaze, Penny also saw a shadow appear there at some point, and his heart beat violently.
This person who appeared in the shadows silently was obviously much more terrifying than the woman.
Even a dozen yards away, the wizard didn't even notice when he appeared.
It was a distinctly ghostly ghost, with a handsome face glowing a dark gray in the moonlight, a well-cut aristocratic robe, leaning against the wall, and a pair of eyes looking with interest at Penny, who was holding the little girl in his arms.
"Hajjona!" Alexia furrowed her brow and glanced up at Penny, a look of ambivalence on her face.
The name made Penny's brow furrow.
He had heard the name.
Among the descendants of the Supreme Prince of the Netherworld City, Hajhorna's popularity in Faeron is one of the best.
As the conveyor of the will of the High Prince, Hajhorner has a unique position in the Netherworld, known as the Hand of the Prince, and is the de facto supreme ruler of the Netherworld City as Teramante Tanshur concentrates on the supreme mysteries of the Arcane.
At the same time, like the other Nether Princes, he is also a spellcaster with great powers.
Looking at the winged silver flying serpent on the collar of his robe and the emblem of the gray tower, Penny secretly raised his guard and pulled out the last amulet.
Seven Blades of the Staff.
For Penny, now is a very dangerous time, a few battles have allowed him to let go of most of the high-level spells, if he fights again, this enemy may not give him a chance to find a place to sort out the spells, just with the brainless arcane fire impact and some low-level spells, although it may not be without the power of a battle, but the odds of victory are really not high.
What's more, the opponent is still a high-level spellcaster like Hajhorna.
The wizard quietly raised his guard, but a smile appeared on Hajhorna's handsome face, and he quietly bowed to Penny: "Don't be nervous, respected Lord Simon, I have no ill will. β
"I am not the master of this city, Lord Hajhorna. The wizard still frowned, "I am very surprised by your arrival. β
"You don't admit it, but in the eyes of the people of this city, you're already the master of this place, Mr. Diesel. Hajhorner shook his head at this, but he didn't let the topic get entangled in it, he glanced at Alexia in the wizard's arms: "As the conveyor of my father's will, I am also very surprised that Alexia is so close to humans outside of him, respected Mr. Diesel. β
"If she wants to go with you, of course you can take her. The wizard looked down at Alexia, and sensed that the little girl did not seem to be very disgusted with the Yin Prince in front of her, and felt that there was no need to keep this fellow who could cause great trouble.
"No, no, Mr. Diesel, you're wrong, the reason I'm here is precisely because I want you to take Alexia in for a while. β
"What?"
Listening to Hajhorner's words with a smile, not only Alexia's face showed a look of confusion, but also Penny and Vika were puzzled.
This is clearly not quite logical.
