"Before I entered this game, I was fortunate enough to take in an unkempt and ragged man. That man stayed in my home for a long time and was taken care of by me for a long time. In order to repay his kindness, he He also mentioned to me many thanks that he considered to be great gifts, among which he felt that the most valuable ones... were the stories that I had heard countless times."
"In those stories, the name Xue Ling Huan Bing was one of the names he mentioned the most."
Walking in the dim underground passage, a man named Linyuan Duanshui said eloquently: "This is why I always pay attention to you."
"...Is this why you know Luoyang?"
"Believe it or not, that's the truth."
Looking back with an innocent expression, the gray-robed magician stretched out his hand and made a calm movement: "So... I heard all the stories about you and your past from his mouth, that's it."
"...What's his name? What does he look like?"
"He didn't mention his name because my relationship with him wasn't that great."
Smiling slightly awkwardly, Linyuan Duanshui scratched the back of his head: "As for his appearance... There doesn't seem to be anything special about his appearance. He is neither handsome nor ugly. There is nothing on his face. Distinctive features and nothing awkward..."
"Can he cook?" Xue Ling Huan Bing suddenly asked.
"Uh... I guess so."
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
"How to talk - ah no, I mean, although he claims that the food he makes is unparalleled in the world, I don't let him touch my kitchen easily..."
"Since he claims that his food is unparalleled in the world, why didn't you let him repay your kindness by helping with cooking and housework?"
A smile gradually appeared on the serious expression of the pursuer, and the woman named Xue Ling Huan Bing slowly pulled off her hood: "Just like what I did before?"
"It's not because I signed an unequal treaty with you...he signed an unequal treaty with you."
After subconsciously saying this, Linyuan Duanshui scratched his head and explained: "Of course I heard what he said. Anyway, he told me a lot of stories, many of which I can't remember clearly. , Hahahahaha..."
"Then he still lives at your place?"
The eyes that had been sticking close to each other gradually widened a bit, and the long white hair on Xueling Huanbing's temples kept swaying as she smiled involuntarily: "I guess he must be gone, right? "
"Uh, yes...yes." Linyuan Duanshui could only continue to smile dryly: "I can't control that person anyway. He can go wherever he wants."
"Then can I go and take a look at the place where you live now?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, whose eyes gradually became darker, asked very quickly: "Don't worry, I won't disturb the lives of you and your family. , I just want to confirm the clues you mentioned and the whereabouts of that person."
"Then, um... let's forget it." The dry smile on the magician's face was almost unbearable: "Although you must be a great beauty, I don't dare to reveal my privacy easily. If others accidentally know it, It’s not a good thing for you or me…”
"snort."
After a few seconds of slight silence, the white-haired woman let out a cold snort. Her eyes that had been staring at the other person did not change in any way following the other person's words. Finally, she lowered her eyebrows. Shen's eyes slowly closed into the crooked eye slits: "The story is well told and convincing, but..."
"You still don't believe it?" Linyuan Duanshui, who was walking in front, hurriedly raised his hands and shouted: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do! I've told you everything I know!"
"If this is really the case, then..."
"Hey, you two."
Before the woman could finish her words, Art's voice appeared in front of him again. He didn't seem to notice the change in the atmosphere between the two people, and then he ignored Xue Ling Huan Bing's displeased eyes and looked at him just now. The person who appeared in front of him pointed out his hand in the darkness: "Stop dawdling, I'm about to explore the road for the third time, can you guys solve it a little faster?"
"Okay, okay, I'll be there soon."
Completely forgetting the words he had scolded the other party before, Linyuan Duanshui, who had found his savior, hurriedly took two steps forward to block the woman's front: "How is it? Did you find anything strange?"
"I've never seen anything strange, but there are a few dangerous things."
Lifting the torch he had lit earlier, Art pointed in the direction illuminated by the fire: "Did you see those strange traces? Those should be the traces left by the magic circle."
"Magic array?" Linyuan Duanshui's eyes widened: "Why is there a magic array here? What is it used for?"
"I've seen similar symbols in a few other places."
His face gradually became solemn, and Art, who was still pointing in that direction, looked back at Linyuan Duanshui's face: "For example, the former Anderson Swamp, and later the ruins of the ancient city of Zaraha."
"..."
As if he understood the meaning contained in the two place names mentioned by the other party, Linyuan Duanshui's voice slowly sounded after a period of silence: "Is it the ritual circle left by the restorers?"
"It can also be called a teleportation array."
Shaking his head slightly, Art stepped forward and brought the torch close to the black lines carved near the rock wall: "Judging from what is left, the magic circle here should have been used up. It was abandoned. They should have transferred what they wanted to this underground cave early, and then made it into a secret laboratory or something..."
"Laboratory?" Linyuan Duanshui, who was looking at the black marks with his chin raised, asked in a low voice, "How do you know?"
"Because of that thing."
Pointing towards the front not far away from them, Art took two steps forward again and gestured towards the gleam of light gradually emerging from the cave in front: "We have suffered so much before... "
"Isn't it because of that thing?"
Following the direction pointed by the other party, the two players who came to the edge of darkness one after another immediately popped their heads, and then included the underground hollows that surrounded the path layer by layer, as well as the surrounding rock walls that were constantly reflecting emerald green light. caught his own eyes. The vague artificial traces began to become more and more obvious as the surrounding paths gradually deepened. In the middle, there were also vaguely visible tube-shaped holes dug into the rock wall layer by layer, and strange black energy visible to the naked eye. At this time, there was also a faint whistling, surging back and forth in the gaps in the tubular passages: "This kind of light... doesn't look like a good place at first glance."
"Welcome to my secret laboratory, my friends."
The gloomy whistling sound gradually sounded as the black energy gradually faded away, and finally gradually became the familiar voice of the old man from before: "You guys actually came in, I'm really honored."
"I'm sorry for disturbing your Qingxiu." After looking at the two people around him, Linyuan Duanshui shouted loudly towards the straight hole in front: "Why don't I take back the disk I used to complete the trial? How about pretending that everything is fine?"
"Yuanpan? Are you talking about this Yuanpan?"
The black energy swirled in the dim green cavity, and then slowly gathered on a stone disk displayed in the center of a platform at the bottom of the cavity: "I'm sorry, this piece of Okenor Si Yuanpan can’t be handed over to you yet, at least..."
"You cannot take away my great research until it is nearly complete."
boom!
The scene of rock shattering was accompanied by a loud explosion as it suddenly erupted from the circling path above. It spewed towards the center of the hollow like a horizontal fountain, bringing up this fountain composed of rock fragments. The black shadow then formed the appearance of a boxer in the air, and in a moment he raised his hands again. The thunderous sound and the shadow of the fist thrown by the boxer rushed down again, instantly blasting one of the three figures that had just fluttered up and down the path, followed closely by the shadow of the fist. The black virtual image did not care whether his fist style caused effective damage, and in the blink of an eye he transformed into a swordsman again: "I know you are not dead, the reception has just begun, for example..."
"How many spare potions do you have, your great alchemist?"
The hair-raising whistle of the blade was instantly submerged in the air wave caused by the explosion caused by Fist Gang, and a small sword mark was nailed under the smoke and dust of the explosion that had just rolled out of Linyuan Duanshui. The swordsman's phantom stabbed without a moment's pause and then flew parallel in mid-air along the spiral path. Together with the magician's rolling and dodging movements, he stabbed out a bunch of shining lights. metal sparks. The light blue light then appeared on the side of the winding path that was only one person wide, accompanied by Linyuan Duanshui's tumbling and thrown potion bottle. The light that gradually emitted the effectiveness of the dispersing potion chased the hot pursuit of the black man. The phantom was shrouded in it, and the opponent who seemed to have been prepared later escaped from the scope of the potion mist with the sound of wind, and once again transformed into the image of a flame magician: "It should be the third bottle, although the power is still the same as before Powerful, but..."
"It's not like I don't have other ways to deal with you."
boom!
With the same violent explosion as before, the fireball from the magician's phantom drew an arc-shaped slash in the air. An incandescent light ball spiraled forward and then suddenly expanded with scalding heat. , completely submerging half of the straight and empty space. In utter embarrassment, Lin Yuan Duanshui extinguished the blazing flames on his gray magic robe with rolling movements. Linyuan Duanshui, who was completely charred, then slowly climbed up from the corner of the rock wall with a gray-headed look, and then rushed to catch the next fireball. Just before arriving, he hid in the tubular passage diagonally below: "Stop fighting! If you have something to say, say it!"
"We don't have anything to say to each other, right? Your Excellency, the great alchemist?"
Throwing out a large continuous flame rope, the black shadow that once again exploded the upper passage into fragments filled the sky and fell into the air parallel to Linyuan's broken water: "Where has the momentum to protect that woman gone? ?”
"Then go and hit that woman. I will never stop you this time!"
"No, no, no, since my falsehood was exposed, my interest in that woman has ended. Now I need to study..."
"It's you, the great alchemist."
The violent sound of the wind suddenly poured into the center of the tubular passage as the words fell, and the black shadow transformed into the image of a wandering poet again and blocked Linyuan Duanshui's body, casually The raised wind magic then pushed all the space around the gray-robed man to the back, and blew away the bottle of magic potion he had just raised in his hand. His body curled up and hit the bottom of the passage. Linyuan Duanshui, who gritted his teeth and endured the pain, then used the earth wall that he suddenly raised to block the wind blades hidden in the air that flew suddenly. The panting figure then leaned against him Behind the earthen wall, he took out his next bottle of potion while blocking the strong wind around him: "Are you so anxious to start targeting me? Very good..."
"I have more than a hundred bottles of potions here. If you have the courage, try them all!"
The emerald-green potion swirled in the air, and then hit the rock wall not far behind Linyuan Duanshui with the strong wind blowing over the earth wall. A stream of rocks and earth debris was mixed with it. The tornado then centered on the plane there, spinning horizontally from his head in the direction of the black shadow. Perhaps due to the relationship between wind magic, the two opposing strong winds then extended a long distance to each other in the air. The convection brought about by the gradually becoming chaotic storm then compressed all the air in this tubular channel to the rock. Outside the range of the wall, the suddenly clear scene was reflected in the air together with Linyuan Duanshui's movement of standing up suddenly while holding another bottle of potion: "Eat me——"
Buzz!
A straight feather arrow made a terrifying roar in the air, and instantly passed through the chest of the gray-robed magician. While bringing out a puff of blood and a bright arrow light, it hit the man's chest. The words and the potion bottle in his hand were nailed to the wall behind him. The arrows exuding the radiance of bright white energy then slowly dissipated together with the sizzling bottle of potion that fell to the ground, leaving only Linyuan Duanshui's bleeding body slowly falling. There was a splashing sound, and the gradually approaching steps were followed by the old man's low laughter, and he gradually walked up to the magician and alchemist: "Didn't you expect that I can shoot arrows? Sorry, times are different now." "
"The greatest enemy of the magician is no longer just the magician, but now there is also an archer, hahahahaha!"
clang!
The black sword that transformed again condensed in the air for a moment, and then slashed down with the old man's laughter. The loud metal collision was followed by the appearance of another bloody sword light, and a certain white-haired man. The female swordsman appeared between the two people.
"Wait a moment."
