The Red Mage

"Who is he, why is he buried here?" Lannie looked up at the glittering crystal lattice,

The expression is very focused.

It is of course strange that such a little boy is hidden in such a terrifying demon cave, and it is contained in a strange crystal coffin.

"Hmm, is it a test subject of Hylast's black robe?" Arnell stroked his chin and made a simple but reasonable guess.

Penny nodded, this is a matter of course, and only a wizard would make such a strange move, he took a brief look at this crystal coffin, this small platform, it seems that it is indeed the center of the mountain, he can feel the huge life source power in the sky constantly converging towards the green crystal, and flowing towards the crystal coffin, which makes him have some speculation in his heart.

Obviously, Hylast had designed a large-scale experiment here, as evidenced by the remnants of the magic circle that was still emitting light around the platform, but what was his purpose?

The little boy did not have any breath of life in his body, just like a dead corpse, but the life source power on the green crystal was constantly sent into the crystal coffin, but this little boy was like a black hole, any bit of source power was not in it, it was sucked dry at a very fast speed.

It seemed to be cultivating something, but Penny thought that Helast didn't seem to have completed the experiment.

It's no secret that the cause of the mad mage's death was a runaway magical experiment, and if this is really where the mad mage conducts his experiments, then the ruined platforms around it clearly speak for itself.

The experiment was halted by the accidental death of the mad mage.

Then this little boy in the crystal coffin is probably the unfinished work of Hylast's black robe.

Penny had no intention of exploring why Helast's black robe, for him, the most important thing was the green sè crystal on the crystal coffin, it was obvious that this was also part of Isil Aaron's resonance The resonance of the two crystals in his hand undoubtedly told Penny this, as long as he could get it in his hands, it would further stop the uninvited guest in his head from having another convulsion at some point.

"Hey bastard, didn't you tell me you wanted to find a trick in the mad mage's den?" interrupted Penny's long silence, and Lanny tugged at his hair impatiently.

The wizard shook his head, brushed his hair with a helpless expression, and pointed to the green sè crystal on the crystal coffin: "That's it." ”

He had hoped to get information about the "Grave Keeper" in the black-robed relics, and naturally he would be able to find the ruins of Imaska scattered across the multiverse, and of course there was a higher possibility that he would get more fragments of Isil Aaron.

While he doesn't have much interest in this great secret, which has aroused the hatred of the ancient gods, he does need a proven plan to curb the forces that he cannot control.

But the results are much better than expected.

A ready-made Imasca crystal appeared here, saving a lot of effort.

"Then go take it down and get out of here. Lannie frowned, remembering that disgusting and terrifying big bug had pimples all over her body, and she desperately wanted to leave this ghost place immediately.

"Can't be in a hurry. Penny shook his head and leaned over to perform a trick.

This trick is a summoning spell that belongs to the spell system, and can only summon some small animals such as rabbits and mice, and there are often bards who perform acrobatics to perform tricks such as pulling rabbits out of their hats, and this spell is often applied.

Now Penny cast this spell for another purpose, a rabbit responded to his call and appeared in the depths of this terrifying dungeon, and before he could jump a few times, both ears were grabbed by a sinful palm, and the arm of that hand flicked, the rabbit screamed and flew into the sky.

The four of them watched the rabbit fly to a height about the same height as the crystal coffin, and the space around the green crystal suddenly began to twist Penny's nerves for a while, and noticed that the originally stable life source power suddenly boiled like a tsunami, and the rabbit let out a scream, and its whole body evaporated silently in the huge torrent of life source power, leaving only a cloud of pale red steam.

"Oh my God. Lanny looked straight at the green sè crystal that had regained its calm again: "It seems that it is not easy to get it. "Phew, expert, do you think you can get it?" Anel patted Penny, "I feel a little difficult. ”,

He let out a series of dry laughs.

Although the level of arcane magic was very crouching, as a rude spell bard, he could still sense such a violent boiling of source power, and in his perception the power generated by this source force was far more powerful than real thunder, like lava bursting when a volcano erupts, fierce and unstoppable.

What's even more frightening is that the effect of this power is the vibration of the life source force, and it seems that ordinary protective magic sequences can hardly resist this friction.

And this disturbance also made the originally calm platform appear hideous, and the pale red sè gas gradually dispersed, which seemed to be dyed with the life source force, and a few people could clearly see that the life source power above the green sè crystal was as viscous as lava.

In the thin area below, this source power bubbled and tumbled one after another, like a pot of boiling water suspended and inverted, and directly above the turquoise crystals, there was a clearly visible whirlpool.

Penny was still silent, he stared at the crystal coffin motionlessly, I don't know if it was an illusion, just now when the green nose was disturbed, the little boy in the coffin seemed to move a little out of his eye.

Is he alive?

"My lord, I can actually knock it down. Nephis assembled an oversized barrel and stepped forward to quietly suggest.

"Don't do that. Penny waved his hand: "The life source power here is balanced by that crystal, once it is disturbed, the consequences are very serious, if the life source power in this is completely out of control and riots, none of us will survive." ”

Nephies stuck out her little tongue and took the dick back again. Penny frowned, it seemed that the little girl's violent tendencies were getting worse and worse.

"So what are we going to do?"

"Completing or completely aborting this ritual can dispel these source forces. The mage said, "Or we can search this place and find the research materials of the black robe of Hylast." ”

"Finish or stop completely?" Nephes bit her fingers and looked at the little boy lying on his back in the crystal coffin with two eyes, "My lord, what will happen to him?"

"How do I know?" the mage shrugged, "Maybe it will be destroyed." ”

The little boy was clearly not an ordinary human, but more like a magical creature from the hands of Hyrust's black robe, and if the experiment was aborted or wrongly completed, Penny could do nothing about it.

This was the true thought in his heart, but when he said this, he raised his voice loudly and secretly paid attention to the face in the crystal coffin.

Sure enough, as he said this, the eyelids on that face twitched again, which undoubtedly fulfilled some of the thoughts in the wizard's heart, but before he could continue to act, there was a soft sound from a hole not far away, and he rolled to the side with his cleverness, and a red light slid over his shoulder and fell on the stone behind him, which was shattered in a shroud of light, which made everyone on the platform raise their guard.

Penny looked at the méng-faced black-robed man who appeared in the cave, a spellcaster who could use dissociation, which was obviously not easy to deal with, not to mention that this person also had a few monsters and a dozen ghosts and walking corpses with teeth and claws.

And more sounds of steel came from the ruins on all sides into the ears of the four people on the platform,

More metal golems rose from the rubble, more or less broken, but the shiny shells and hard fists undoubtedly told the adventurer that these creatures were not easy to handle at all.

Lanny drew her greatsword, Nepher pulled out the big pipe that had killed the red dragon again, and Arnell prepared her bow and arrow in the midst of a flick of her eyelids.

Penny didn't rush to use force, but turned to the crystal coffin: "Wait, I know you're awake, and I know that you hold the power here, we have something to say." ”

His words stopped the metal golems and the multitude of monsters.

Nephis, Lannie, and Arnell's eyes fell on the crystal coffin again.

After a depressive silence, it was the wizard who came out of the cavern to leave. , succinctly: "...... Where you came from and where you are going. ”

The voice was hoarse.

"It's a shame we can't go home empty-handed. The mage ignored the warning, "Besides, it seems a bit difficult to cast teleportation magic from this place. ”,

"Casting difficult teleportation magic is better than death. The méng-faced wizard waved his hand, and the necromancer beside him screamed again, "Or you wish to join them." ”

"Of course we don't want to join them, but I have to warn you. The wizard shrugged his shoulders and took a step to the left, standing next to the pillar where the crystal coffin was placed: "Obviously, I am closer to you than your subordinates, and it is easy to disrupt the rituals here. ”

"You dare to threaten your lordship. Although the méng-faced wizard said angry content, his tone was still a little cold, and he seemed to have no emotional ups and downs at all, and his eyes were gray and dry, lifeless, more like some form of puppet.

Perhaps, as Penny had guessed, it was the mysterious boy in the crystal coffin who was speaking through his mouth.

"It's not a threat, it's that it's hard for me to keep myself safe, you have to understand my situation, it's not easy to find here. The mage spread his hands, "I deserve something." ”

The méng-faced wizard was silent for a long time, and Penny did not panic, because he noticed that the monsters did not make any further movements, which showed that the other party was seriously considering his suggestion.

"Greedy guys, oh, these thousands of years, I don't know how many people have been buried in this place because of greed, well, you can talk about it, I hope your greed won't invite you death. ”

Penny shook his head, "Don't say that, maybe I can help you." ”

"Help me?" As if hearing something funny, the méng-faced wizard let out a completely ineffective sneer.

"Whatever your relationship with the original owner here, I can perceive that this is a failed experiment, and you have to be trapped in this crystal coffin because of this mutilated experiment, right?" Penny knocked on the stone pillar.

"Finish this experiment??hmm, I think you're stupid, 1 boy. He, once again, let out a sneer through the mouth of the méng-faced wizard, "You, weak as an ant, have the guts to set foot in such a delicate experiment?" ”

"Not necessarily. Penny shook his head: "It's just that the magic array connected to that crystal has changed due to the shock, causing all the input life source power to accumulate around the magic array, and gradually turning into that crystal coffin, although this body part is rejuvenated, but it has not succeeded in reviving him, I think just a little transformation of it can solve your trouble." ”

Penny wasn't talking nonsense, he had just observed for a while, and he did see some rules of operation of the magical power at the top of this stone pillar, and with some information, he might really be able to fix this experiment.

"A little bit of a makeover? You're so obsessed, but for your more sane sake, I can tell you that it's impossible, and you should know what happens here if it happens the slightest bit too much. His voice was still unimpressed.

Penny tried to persuade him to continue, but heard a nice voice with two sneers coming from the top of the crystal coffin: "Well, it's not hard to guess, if you touch it, everything here will be crushed into steam by the boiling life force, huh?" ”

This abrupt voice drew everyone's attention to the sky above the crystal coffin.

Since the appearance of the méng-faced wizard, the crystal coffin has changed, and the attention of Penny, Nephis, Lanny, and Arnell has been focused on this conversation, and they have no time to care about other places, when they raise their heads, but they see the blue sè figure who has just said goodbye appears high above the crystal coffin, standing above the green sè crystal.

It was full of boiling life power, and even with protective magic, it would quickly be crushed by the incredible weight there, but the woman's robe was surrounded by a faint layer of flames, and the light of the fire took on a dull silver-gray sè, like a shadow.

"Shadow Fire belonging to the Lost Lady Elect," the well-informed bard immediately blurted out the name of the flame.

This powerful supernatural power from the gods was naturally able to do many things that the mid-level arcane could not do, and the violently rolling life source power came into contact with this layer of flames, like boiling oil poured with cold water, emitting patches of dim vapor, but it made the figure of the woman in blue even more hazy.

"Well, thank you for your guidance, which saved me a lot of detours, but now we have to say goodbye, sir, I said we were not done, but it should be done now. ”

She leaned over and winked at Penny's blue eyes.

Under the roars of the méng-faced wizard and the monsters, and the gaze of the four Pennies, the slender and white hand, which could see the faint blood vessels through the skin from a considerable distance, picked up the green crystal, and with a faint flame in the chuckle, it entered the turbid life source vortex upwards with a light laugh, and disappeared.

A few spells hit the empty space, and the room returned to the méng face wizard's desperate howl.

A low roar came from above and landed on the platform, echoing like the roar of an abyssal beast, and cold sweat crawled all over Penny's forehead for a moment. ！。
