"Uh huh huh..."
Humming a light tune, Lilia walked in the aisles of the Wizard Tower in a happy mood. Recently, the old antiques in the Cursor Wizard Tower have all gone out to deal with matters in the Orc Kingdom. No one cares about her out-of-character personality. guy.
I heard that a few orc shamans were not very smart, so they tried to recreate the chimera, a biological weapon of the five-tribe coalition during the Battle of the Abyss. However, they failed and swallowed seven or eight out-of-control chimeras from the orc tribe and broke through. After hearing the legend, the orcs had to pay a lot of money to ask the wizards from the Cursor Wizard Tower to help.
"Legendary weapons, how come those legendary weapons are all in the hands of orcs? Those legendary weapons that are now known are basically in the hands of orcs. It's strange. Could it be that the orcs have some legacy left by their ancestors?"
While looking around and rubbing her chin, Lilia said to herself with a thoughtful expression.
"Hey, forget it, it's probably only the customs of the orcs that would allow them not to hide these precious weapons and just kill them on the frontal battlefield. God knows how many legendary weapons those dwarves have hidden."
"A legendary weapon is exchanged for three powerful wizards. In the final analysis, we still make a profit. When the time comes to exchange the legendary weapon for money to expand the wizard tower, I will need more funds. After all, I will stay here for a long time." It’s for one person.”
Showing a sly smile, Lilia had already begun to figure out how to get more funds from the managers of the Cursor Wizard Tower.
"The time is almost up. I wonder what delicious food my dear sister has prepared today. Alas... Mira's cooking is really great. How can I live without her~"
"The little Aviya is so similar to her mother, and her craftsmanship is probably not much different. That knight of hers is very lucky, I can't envy you, haha..."
With a snap of her fingers, the illusory pocket watch was shaped by void energy and appeared in Lilia's palm. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the afternoon tea time that she looked forward to most every day.
Ever since she brought Aviya's mother, her sister Mira Swain, to the Cursed Wizard Tower, Lilia's life has become more and more comfortable.
Mira and Aviya have the same gentleness and carefulness, and at the same time, because they are not affected by Wang Yu, who has a rough attitude towards life, they are also more mature and refined.
Due to special reasons, she was unable to continue practicing the path of wizards and mage, and Mira usually had nothing to do.
Helping take care of the garden of the wizard tower, enjoying the beautiful scenery of sunset and sunrise, drawing some oil paintings of the magic moon, and preparing an exquisite afternoon tea for himself and his sister Lilia, this is Mira's daily life .
It's very plain, but also very leisurely. Lilia can see that Mira likes this kind of life, and presumably so, after all, the things she encountered at the Rhine Manor still left some indelible scars in her heart. .
Lilia is also happy that her sister has found a way to live the life she loves.
Well, her happiness is definitely not to be able to drink a cup of full-sugar and milky coffee every day in a garden courtyard filled with the colors and fragrances of beautiful flowers, coupled with a plate of freshly baked crispy wheat cookies or chocolate cake. , it’s really caused by being too comfortable.
Well, I have to admit, this is part of the reason, but, yes, part of the reason.
Lilia muttered something in her mind to excuse herself, and happily accelerated her pace in the corridor.
Pushing open the middle door of the wizard tower, there was an open grassland outside. At this moment, two guys were slashing at each other with long swords. One was Garcia in light armor, and the other was facing him. The one wearing it was a guy whose whole body was covered in thick, pitch-black armor.
Neither of them used their fighting spirit, but the physical strength alone was enough to be astonishing. The training swords collided in the air at high speeds. Sparks flew out, sword lights flashed, afterimages flew, and the jingling sounds were jarring and had a different rhythm. The sound can be heard from far away.
"Bang!"
"call!"
Garcia's long sword hit the black knight's chest hard, making a loud noise, and the sword shook wildly, but not even a scratch appeared on the ferocious jet black armor.
The Black Knight's sword lagged slightly and stopped five or six centimeters away from Garcia's shoulder. The sudden stop of the extremely fast slash brought a sharp airflow across the gap between the light armor worn by Garcia. Cloth, tear a small opening.
It's obviously a tie. If fighting spirit is used, the black armor cannot block the power of Garcia's slashing. In exchange for injury, the black knight's sword blade, with the blessing of fighting spirit, does not hit the vital point. It was enough to seriously cut Garcia.
"Stop fighting, you two, Black Knight. Ever since I brought Garcia back, you, the only knight in the tower, have been sparring with Garcia every day. Is it interesting?"
With a teasing tone in her tone, Lilia shouted to the two big guys who were sparring. There was obviously more teasing in her words towards the knight who was covered in black armor.
"throat…"
There was a dull sound under the black helmet. I don't know what he said, but judging from the way the other party shook his head, it seemed that he was helpless. After all, Lilia had been in the wizard tower for a while, and there was probably no one else there on weekdays. Don't be teased by this eldest sister.
"Hey, you're not happy about it right now. I have no problem with you practicing, but the problem is that even if you two great knights are sparring without fighting spirit, those long swords can't withstand the strength of you two."
"Ever since you started, the Wizard Tower has spent more than ten times more money every week to purchase fine iron swords. Do you pay for this yourself?"
With one hand on her waist, Lilia raised her eyebrows, and with the other hand she pointed at the two long swords that the two great knights had placed next to them after training. The strong fine iron long swords were in tatters, full of gaps, and the whole body was in disarray. Don't even think about using it if it's bent.
"Hang, gah..."
There was an inexplicable dull sound under the black helmet, and the black knight scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"You know what, you're still working for the Wizard Tower to pay off your debts, but it turns out you don't feel bad about using the Wizard Tower's money for your own training."
Lilia hummed, satisfied with the embarrassment shown by the black knight.
"I can pay for it. It is very necessary for a knight to stay sharp in battle."
Garcia interjected and walked towards Lilia. The other party could only come to him for one thing at this time.
"Hey, what's the use of your money? Your money is my money. You're wasting my money to buy a long sword, right?"
He jumped up and hit Garcia on the head. Lilia was very dissatisfied with what Garcia said.
"You're getting fat. When you're not studying magic and witchcraft, you go out for a couple of runs with me, and you keep bothering your sister. Isn't it bad?"
Garcia ignored Lilia's talk, but pointed at the other person's obviously rounder face and reminded him.
"Don't talk nonsense. How could I be fat? Forget about exercising or anything. Wizards and mages don't need to be like you. Anyway, when the time comes to fight, you will be in front, and we won't be able to practice fighting spirit."
With some panic, Lilia reached under her robe and grabbed a handful of her belly. Damn it, there really was something less obvious. Her expression twisted, and she hurriedly changed the subject from fat. Turn this direction.
"Look at your niece, she is very well trained. She can speed up her reactions and movements, which is good for both mages and wizards."
Continuing to speak to Lilia, Garcia followed Lilia towards the wizard tower garden.
"Oh, she is a real genius. Isn't it normal for me to know a little bit about Dobby? And how can this be said to be troublesome for my sister? This is Mira's hobby. Making delicious food is only happy when you share it with others. .”
Garcia glanced at Lilia, and she came again. What he said was as if the person who set off a fire and claimed to be the most talented fire mage blatantly killed Garcia, who was at the level of a great knight, when he "didn't notice". It was not her who stole all the biscuits.
"Hum, um, hum…"
The knight in black armor looked at the two departing figures. There was an unexplained sound under the heavy iron helmet. He picked up the long curling sword on the ground and stuffed the long sword through the gap in the visor. The metal shattered. The sound sounded, and the long sword gradually disappeared.
…
"What different snacks are there today? It's really exciting... huh?"
Lilia's brisk steps suddenly stopped, the words she was mumbling stopped, and her expression became a little strange.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Lilia's performance, Garcia immediately asked. He didn't know what she was trying to do. After all, it wasn't the first time that this person suddenly wanted to do something. He was always so surprised every time. At first glance.
"Mira is not in the garden..."
Lilia's sudden "hmm" tone suddenly dropped, and it was obvious that she was indeed surprised, but more than anything, she was disappointed.
"..."
Garcia didn't know what to say, but he should be glad that this guy didn't suddenly think of some new fire spell and ask him to help him experiment. He didn't really care, mainly because this guy kept blowing himself up into the sky.
"Buzz buzz..."
A high-frequency buzzing suddenly sounded in the corridor of the Wizard Tower. When she heard the sound, Lilia, who had been disappointed because she had no afternoon tea just now, instantly became serious.
Even Garcia, who had not been here long, suddenly had his eyebrows drawn together tightly.
This is an alarm from the rune array that comes with the Wizard Tower. The reason why this alarm is triggered is...
"Which wizard was eroded by the void to the threshold and created a void well. It has reached the level of triggering the alarm. I am afraid it will be difficult to save it."
Lilia muttered to herself and accelerated her pace. She could no longer pay attention to afternoon tea or anything else. Xu Jing's appearance was enough to attract the attention of the entire wizard tower.
"Void Well", a phenomenon that occurs when a wizard is eroded by the void beyond a threshold.
Wizards can activate the power of the void and use spiritual power to guide void energy into the material world, thereby distorting reality and releasing witchcraft. This also means that every wizard can be seen as a small crack in the void.
It's just that this void crack is bound by the wizard's body and spiritual palace, and is much "safer" than those uncontrollable void cracks.
But this safety is only relative. When dealing with the void, if you are not careful, you will be in danger.
When a wizard is penetrated by the protection of the spiritual palace due to the pollution leaked from the void crack, or the body is completely distorted by the out-of-control void energy due to insufficient spiritual power to guide the void energy, at this time, the "void" crack that is bound will become It will get out of control.
This is how the "void well" phenomenon occurs. A crack in the void will open in the body of the out-of-control wizard, and the gradually escaping breath of void will transform the wizard into a part of the void.
Eventually, the wizard will fall into the void due to the cracks in the void that appear in his body and the repulsive power of the material world against him after he transforms into a part of the void.
A bottomless deep hole will be projected around the out-of-control wizard, which is the influence of the cracks in the void.
Because before being completely transformed into a part of the void, the wizard is still between the void and the material world. The influence of the void crack that should have been suppressed by the material world's repulsive force against the existence of the void and cannot take effect will be affected by the wizard. It survives under the cover of its own existence.
During this process, if you accidentally walk into this deep pit, you will fall into it and into the void, just like falling into a dark abandoned wellhead, hence the name "Void Well".
"Which wizard is it... The wizards in the Cursor Wizard Tower should not make the mistake of having their spirit overly polluted by the void. They have the curse as insurance, so how can there be a void well?"
Lilia quickened her pace and started running in the corridor. She had to know immediately who had reached Xujing.
The wizards of the Cursed Wizard Tower all use their souls to determine the existence of one or more forbidden things with the help of a certain secret technique, such as love, direct interference in the politics of countries, and eating. Flesh and blood and so on.
By locking certain aspects of consciousness to strengthen the overall soul's resistance to pollution, the wizards in the Cursed Wizard Tower rarely trigger virtual wells, but now, the wizard tower's alarm for the virtual well is very real. Ringing on the ground.
"Huh? Lilia, are you okay!?"
He quickly ran from the entrance of the corridor to the upper level of the wizard tower. The footsteps coming from above were very mixed and loud. Lilia was not the only one to quickly search for who triggered the virtual well. Other members of the Cursed Wizard Tower were also moving quickly. .
Lilia, who was running in a hurry, almost collided with a wizard who was rushing down from above. Fortunately, Garcia who was following her pulled her in time.
The wizard who almost bumped into Lilia was startled when he saw Lilia, and his tone was obviously surprised and strange.
"What's wrong with me? Isn't this a good thing? Who triggered Xujing? The old guys are not here. Let's see if there is any way to bring them back. Wait..."
Lilia was a little confused. She just asked the other party a question with a weird look on her face. This behavior was very casual, but the guy who was actually very smart reacted immediately and asked the other party a question with an ugly face.
"The location where Xuei appeared is in my room?!"
The other person nodded.
"Quick, Garcia take me to my room, damn..."
Lilia immediately shouted to Garcia behind him. Without hesitation, the other party put Lilia on his shoulders. His strength exploded and collapsed several steps of the wizard tower. His figure was blurred, and he led Lilia towards the opponent's room at high speed. The position rushed away.
Lilia's expression was tense and her thoughts were a little confused. A virtual well appeared in her room. If she was not in the room, there was only one person, her sister, Mira Swain.
"What's going on? Didn't Mira give up on her path as a wizard? How could she trigger Void? I've obviously confirmed before that her connection with Void has been very weak."
The speed of the great knight was naturally astonishing. In about ten seconds, he crossed four floors and brought Lilia to the door of her room.
There were already many wizards here. When they saw Lilia coming over, they were all stunned. They wanted to say something, but they were interrupted by Garcia who rushed over at great speed with Lilia.
"It is indeed Xu Jing, or Xu Jing who is nearing the end of the stage, but why has it stabilized instead of continuing? This is abnormal, what is going on!"
Lilia jumped off Garcia's shoulder in a daze, shook her head to wake herself up, quickly squatted down, looked towards her room, and released her mental power for perception.
Near the door of Lilia's room, the ground and walls were slightly blurred and immersed in purple light, which had begun to affect the surrounding materials. This was a sign that Xujing had entered the final stage.
However, the Xuei in this state should spread quickly to the surroundings. It cannot be so stable. The Xuei that appeared in her room at this time remained in this state, neither spreading nor being rejected by the material world. The force dissipates.
"No matter, Mira, are you hiding something from me...!"
Gritting her teeth, Lilia couldn't care less. She had to confirm her sister's condition. Protective magic and void power were mobilized to cover her whole body, and she suddenly pushed the door open.
The situation inside the door stunned Lilia and the other surrounding members of the Cursor Wizard Tower.
Inside the door, where is the virtual well, it is simply a land that has turned into a void. The weird starry sky-like deep black material has completely replaced the walls and floors of the room, and small objects such as furniture have turned into virtual reality. The flickering state is no longer accepted by the material world.
In the center of the room, on a rocking chair, Mira lowered her head and sat quietly on it. Beside her, there were three people wearing suits and top hats. Their faces could not be seen clearly. The presence of a smile stood there.
"Good afternoon everyone, don't worry. We are just waiting for a few people. Why don't you close the door? We don't like to be disturbed."
Frivolous and joking words were spoken by one of them.
At the same time, outside the Cursed Sorcerer Tower, the Black Knight raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance.
A huge flying monster is flapping its wings, blowing up the strong wind, carrying the people on its back, and flying towards this direction at a high speed.
