Even in normal times, it still takes several hours to walk from the outer area to the Violet Library, not to mention that now the entire path is full of monsters released by book burning and book burning officials hiding in the dark.
According to Wumeng, these book-burning officials are not simple lunatics at all. They are systematically intercepting all people traveling, but they are indifferent to those hiding at home. And as more people realize this, fewer and fewer people choose to protect themselves rather than step forward to help Evarong. Apart from the guards and other military forces, the only ones still fighting today are probably the diehard loyalists of Evarang.
But at a time when not even gods can guarantee their loyalty, how many people in Evarong, which is not even a country, are willing to die for it?
"Look, this is the most realistic result." Heinz stood on a high place and pointed around with his sword. "Evarang has given them so many benefits, but now no one has responded. Whether it is students, teachers or those who have The people who benefit from this place regard it as a place where it doesn’t matter how it changes.”
"Isn't this wrong?"
"This is wrong." Heinz glanced at the subordinates around him, "When something happens, you always count on the top few powerful protectors to take action, but you don't have any strong will at all. Such people are not what the future of magic needs. .”
"The price of awakening... is quite tragic."
"At least there are still people running, and there are still people resisting the Book Burner. The souls lodged in the burned magic books are releasing their final power, but this is not enough, far from enough." Heinz jumped up and stood In the air.
"Notify Gascoigne to carry out the final book burning."
Not long after this order was issued, Lu Ning and others saw flames rising into the sky from all four directions of Evarang.
"We're burning books again, isn't it enough? Damn it!" Wumeng shouted, and Oris's expression became more solemn.
"Don't worry, if we deal with these things, we won't be able to get close to the Violet Library." White Rose stepped on a rotten hand sticking out of the soil and ran over without stopping, "No matter what they do , we all have to ask the Emperor to come forward. We people can't fight head-on."
"It doesn't look that easy." Lu Ning frowned slightly. In front of them was a small square, and there was only one person sitting in the square, wearing a sky blue robe and a military cap. , holding a revolver-style pistol in his left hand and a knight's gun in his right hand, was sitting on a bench.
"It's the Book Burning Officer!" Wumeng stopped immediately and turned around to walk into the alley next to him, but Lu Ning, Bai Meigui and Oris kept walking, facing the Book Burning Officer directly. The officer rushed forward.
The knight's gun plunged into the ground, stirring up slates and dust. The slates dissociated into elements in the air, instantly forming a thunder net. Book Burner stood up from the bench, laughed wildly, and came over. His gun collided violently with the weapon behind the thunder net, knocking the people behind him back a step, but when the thunder and lightning dispersed, there was only Oris.
The ground shook, the soil bulged, and a huge earthworm emerged from the ground. It turned into a white rose in mid-air, and three darts were instantly thrown at Book Burner's back. As Book Burner shouted sharply, the magic shield covered himself and blocked the three darts, but the next second the ground collapsed, and at the same time countless blue-green flames spewed out from the ground, engulfing him instantly. !
Lu Ning rolled over and rolled out of the exit, wiped the dust from her face, and then high-fived the white rose that fell to the ground.
"It can't be done."
"Sure enough, this can only be a greeting."
The two of them had just exchanged views when four stone walls rose up from the sunken ground. The Book Burner stood on one of them, and even his clothes were not damaged. He sneered and raised the revolver in his hand.
Lu Ning threw out a few alchemy bombs with his backhand. Book Burner fired several shots in the air to explode all the bombs, and then threw away the bullet casings. But he didn't have time to reload, because Oris had already jumped up from behind, pulled out two scimitars with both hands and attacked from behind.
The book-burning officer immediately turned around and swept out his knight's spear. At the same time, he threw the revolver into the sky with his other hand, holding up a ball of blue flames.
"Be careful of him burning books!" Wumeng shouted from a distance.
But Book Burner had already become very skilled in his movements. He left the blue flame in the air, reached out and took out a roll of paper from the leather pouch at his waist, and threw it into the flames. Powerful magic waves surged out of the fireball, instantly attaching a layer of flame to the knight's gun.
Oris twisted his body in the air, suddenly opened his mouth, and a black arrow came out of his mouth, hitting the gun body with blue fire surging. The black arrow was so powerful that Book Burner's movements were immediately stopped. . White Rose had already stepped onto the earth wall in two steps, pulled out a dagger with her backhand and cut his leg.
"snort!"
With the magic power surging, Book Burner instantly detonated all the magic power in the blue fireball, knocking both of them away. He reached out to grab the revolver that fell in the air and loaded the bullet.
"Grand Magister level, not Imperial Saint." White Rose smiled, "What was burned was just the rubbings. You are much weaker than we thought."
Book Burner didn't answer, but just threw a second fireball.
"Lillian!"
"Ready." Lu Ning responded, the white rose flashed to the side, and a beam of white light came directly from behind her towards Book Burner. The white light was gradually turning scarlet as it approached. Book Burner frowned slightly when he saw this. He was shocked, but had no time to dodge, so he raised his knight's spear and blocked the blow.
There was a "z" sound like a hot iron, and the huge knight's gun instantly became red-hot. Although Book Burner did block the blow, a large dented hole was burned out of the knight's gun.
Book Burner and Lu Ning said "Hey" at the same time.
And at this moment, Bai Meigui's body, which had been dodging to the side, suddenly swung back, as if being pulled back by something, and quickly rushed towards Book Burner's face. Book Burning Officer immediately raised his pistol, pointed it at White Rose's forehead and fired several shots, but only exploded a layer of camouflage skin, until the big snake rushed out of "White Rose"'s body, and took a bite out of Book Burning Officer's arm. He bit off a piece of meat, then fell behind the wall next to him, rolled on the spot, and restored the white rose's body.
"Well..." Book Burner pressed his arm, but he didn't even scream. He threw the half-used knight's gun aside and reached into the leather bag again, but Oris was approaching from behind again. This kind of enemy was from both sides. In this state, he could only give up burning books, but raised his hand and blasted a lightning spell, forcing Oris back.
"White Rose, has it been poisoned?" Lu Ning was far away, drawing a magic circle with her fingers in the air, retreating while drawing, while White Rose wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and grinned: "Of course it is highly poisonous."
Magic cannot directly provide immunity to toxins. Even the Grand Mage must use antidotes and detoxification spells. But will these people give him a chance now?
"Your strength..."
"Is something wrong? Isn't it too late to realize now?" Lu Ning raised a smile and raised his hand a little further. A dozen consecutive three-dimensional magic arrays suddenly shone in the air, and a blue-purple flame came from the array. It shot out like a cannon. This time Book Burning Officer was well prepared, jumped off the wall, and at the same time threw the entire skin bag into the blue fireball.
"The lesson hasn't been learned."
The flame suddenly spread as it approached the Book Burning Officer's position, turning into a high-temperature flame that was like the breath of a dragon. Book Burner hurriedly propped up the magic shield again, but this time the magic shield only held up for about three or four seconds before breaking, and he was still touched by the flames.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Book Burner, who was supposed to be tortured by poison and flames, laughed: "Interesting! Interesting!"
With a gunshot, Book Burner's arm was broken from his shoulder, and fell to the ground with a lot of flames and toxins, burning brightly. After he used the pistol, he threw away the gun and pulled the gun on his head. Hat, staring at Lu Ning.
"Little girl, the techniques you use are inconsistent with who you are."
"As expected of the great mage."
"I have been dealing with these things all my life." Book Burner raised his only arm, and the fireball from the sky fell into his hand, "Then there is nothing more to say, I will kill you, or be killed by you. "
"The result will only be the latter one."
Lu Ning flipped her wrist, and the brilliant colored light was released from her palm, quickly turning into five gems. The light was immediately dyed with different colors under the refraction of these gems, and condensed into high-energy magic rays that hit the Book Burning Officer. .
"Well done!"
As Book Burner shouted angrily, he rushed directly towards Lu Ning with blue flames in one hand. This speed was so fast that no one else could react. The magic rays left several wounds on Book Burner's body. But none of them hit the fatal part.
boom!
Lu Ning's fist hit the ice wall that suddenly stood up. It was a gem that was transformed into a stone. Lu Ning walked out from behind the wall. At this time, Book Burner's arm and the flame were frozen by the ice. Although it looked like It didn't take long to break open, but in the end the momentum was lost.
"Those who covet power..."
"You have no qualifications to criticize others. Your own evil deeds are far worse than this." Lu Ning let the remaining four gems rotate around herself, "Burning books is an act of treating magic books and rubbings as disposable consumables. , what else can it be but a waste? There will always be dangerous goods in the world, and those who are truly capable will know how to use them safely."
"Do you want to say you?" Shuguan Fen snorted coldly and shook his hand to shatter the melted ice. "Many people who are as confident as you end up not being good in the end."
"I have my own way, but I also know that it is not safe. But - I am stronger than you now. This is the simplest principle of fighting."
A gem exploded in front of Lu Ning, and the world instantly turned into the opposite color. Everyone, including Book Burner, was dazzled by this change, and then the next second, Book Burner flew out.
"This guy's fighting consciousness is really extraordinary..."
Lu Ning also took a step back and quickly dispersed the blue flame on his arm. This kind of flame has a strong corrosive effect on magic. Fortunately, it is not very strong when no one is controlling it. The spell she just used could slow down everyone's subjective consciousness, but unexpectedly, Book Burner actually launched an instinctive counterattack while being attacked.
Even so, Book Burner is not in a good condition now. His robe has been torn, his military cap has been blown off, and some gray hair is hanging down. He is an old magician.
He got up from the ground, shook his body slightly, and stared at Lu Ning again with his hawk-like eyes.
"You will regret this."
"No, people don't regret things for which they are mentally prepared, at least I don't."
Lu Ning stretched out her finger and flicked a red gem towards Book Burning Officer.
At the same time, Book Burning Officer also shouted loudly and punched out. His hand was broken from the wrist, and with the magical power of burning all magic book rubbings, he smashed the rubies in the air and rushed towards Lu Ning. At the same time, a slender black shadow fell from the sky and landed on his neck. This time, the highly venomous snake kiss bit Shu Fen's throat, and his body also exuded a burnt smell.
"Lillian!"
After throwing out the venomous snake transformed from Book Burner's severed arm, White Rose immediately looked back at Lu Ning's situation. The last punch involved the great mage's full strength. Although Lu Ning's magic level had been improved, the magic power was still there. At ordinary levels, the danger remains...
She turned around and saw Lu Ning flicking away the fist flying towards her with her fingers.
"Don't worry." Lu Ning said calmly, "There will always be some benefits in doing some personal tasks."
Although the World Stone that turned into her fingernails did not have many magical functions, it at least had a world-level defense. As long as she could catch this kind of point-attack magic, it would not be able to hurt her.
"He's dead, we have to continue. If the Book Burner is so difficult to deal with, it will take some time to think of the Violet Library." Oris and Wumeng came over.
Lu Ning nodded.
She doesn't have much time left. Although her current situation has been planned for a long time, it is still very dangerous. She can use the magic that Todd said to temporarily suppress the pollution of the magic book and gain the strength of the magic book. But Lu Ning must keep her spirit from weakening at the same time, otherwise if it is not enough to suppress the magic book pollution and it breaks out before she returns, it will be equal to death.
The four people quickened their pace and tried to deal with the enemies they encountered on the road as quickly as possible. For some reason, they never met another book-burning official who came to stop them along the way.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived in front of the Violet Library.
The door today is no different from when the library was opened three days ago. It is still closed. However, no one opened the door at this time. Even Oris, as a patrolling guard, could not have the qualifications to open the library door.
"How do we get in?" Wumeng asked.
"The main entrance must have the strictest magic protection. It is impossible to enter without a key. But the library should have more than one entrance, right?" White Rose asked.
"Regular entrances are protected." Oris frowned, "But since the library has been invaded, there must be resistance inside. We may be able to check the situation of all entrances around."
"Then Lilian and I will be in a group, look to the right, and you two should look to the left." Bai Meigui quickly organized the groups, and then dragged Lu Ning to the right.
"What's going on?" Lu Ning asked in a low voice.
"It's a bit strange. The second half of our journey was a bit too smooth, wasn't it?"
"The news of Book Burner's death may spread. No...you mean...except for the monsters released in the magic book, there are no fixed forces attacking us?" Lu Ning quickly understood what Shang Wenxue meant.
"Yes." Shang Wenxue nodded, "In all the scenes I have experienced, it will not be so safe until the final battle. There are countless deaths and escapes, so I suspect there is something weird here. Let's not leave the door."
"Then why are you suddenly going into groups?"
"Oris is a guard! I'm a thief!" White Rose took off a grappling hook from her belt and twisted it in her hand. Soon the grappling hook turned into a gecko and moved along the outside of the Violet Library. The walls climbed up.
