The twelve-layer magic array, more than 500 runes, must be etched on a stone plate that is only half a palm-sized. Even with the strange props, it is not something that can be easily completed. What's more, this person uses the most energy-consuming method - not with the magic carving knife, nor with the time to slowly mold the items, but with magical skills - some experienced alchemists know that this is equivalent to completing the enchantment while controlling their own spells, and using the two-minded use, which can only be used on the simplest magic creation.

In the production of magical items, failure is a fellow traveler in action. At any time, just a little mental trance will lead to the wasted of all the efforts of the production.

Therefore, using magical craftsmanship to etch magical items and enchant them at the same time, it will only happen to a arrogant young man - only those young mages who have just left the apprenticeship stage do not know the depth and think they can control everything, and then in the end they will only find that they have lost everything - spell materials, the only thing the teacher appreciates, or they have to take advantage of their own health - in the big explosion of the failure to make magical items, there are probably few apprentices who can survive.

However, in front of me, in the hands of this young man with gray hair, this rule seemed to have never existed...

However, when it was just an hourglass, even less than time, the complex runes in the gray-haired young man's hands had been lit up layer by layer, without any omissions in it - this is something that a qualified high-level mage would never do, especially now. Many older mages have noticed the young man's overly young face.

Who is he?

Following Teacher Albert, with such incomprehensible ability and his terrifying appearance, although the magic attainments are the vulgar and ignorant things that inferior civilians are best at compared to their age, there is a limit to everything in the world. Things like this that exceed understanding will always make people feel absurd.

Everyone stared at the young man's stable and light hands, watching the metal-like thing cover the entire surface of the agate.

Runes, four left, three...

In an instant, Edward's fingers suddenly froze.

He heard a loud voice.

It was an extremely subtle sound, but in just a moment, it seemed as if the tide was surging! The indescribable irritability caught Edward. He was shocked and quickly calmed down... But he immediately realized that the more this happened, the less he could divert his attention. The whisper turned into a noisy roar, and gradually gathered into a bright sound, roaring in his mind. He rushed forward!

That roaring voice is... laughter?

The sparks flashed deep in Edward's eyes and mind, showing a magnificent and dazzling arc. But they could no longer fully concentrate their spirit... The magic power was rolled up in an instant and rushed out along the slender magic array toward the position that had not yet been closed, and the crackling and crisp sound immediately extended outward!

And at this moment, silently, the space belt in Master Edward's robe suddenly moved. As soon as it opened, a black metal carving had quietly flew out...

“Oh…”

The thoughts in his mind were like thunder and lightning, and Edward was shocked in an instant.

No, in fact, I didn't even have time to be shocked - the terrible pain was like a hammering needle, and it blasted into his brain subtly and violently, almost making him faint!

The thought seemed to break into countless fragments, each screaming in horror. Edward could hardly feel his existence, but only felt a force grasping his brain - or his soul - kneading it hard, and pressing him into a ball of mud! He wanted to pull his "self" out of the layers of protection and then shatter it into countless fine pieces!

Hell!

The instinct of the psychic warlock resisted at the critical moment...

He suddenly tightened his spiritual tentacles and weaved a hasty defense, but even if the divine power, spiritual energy and mental power flowed back in an instant, grasping every remaining spirit again and reconnecting them... The mental power gathered wildly, finally protecting his self as the body. And as if the chain reaction began to operate - the power of divine power then worked, and the warm energy poured into his head, repairing the broken spirit. Finally, the brilliance, smell, pain, everything reconnected into his self-cognition, and a blank in his mind was rendered with a leaping light...

Edward found himself roaring wildly.

But the sound was so faint because it was covered in a nearly roaring crackling sound.

Everything in front of him seemed to have been covered with blue and blue colors. The violent energy turned into a rushing current in his field of vision. The scorching light made him instinctively close his eyes, but his thinking mobilized all the perceptions he could use in the most violent way at this moment.

So Edward "saw".

In the divine vision, the violent energy was outlined by deep colors, and was as red as magma. They formed thousands of threads in the center of the vision, but the line expanded but contracted, cut off by a force out of thin air, and suddenly disappeared at a point.

That point is a palm.

It is only half the size of an ordinary person, like a child, but the seemingly slender five fingers and every knuckle are movable to the magic net that is everywhere in the space. The surging electric fire is guided and scattered in front of this small palm, and is absorbed by the tiny but deep, like a black hole, and slides into every line of the magic net. So the space is separated into both violent and calm ends.

The violent energy dissipated, revealing the source of the explosion afterwards... It was a little small but deep, like a black hole.

Katzejek.

The small metal in the shape of the sucking monster's skull made the psychic sage in his heart.

Or, it is not difficult to guess... besides this soul-devouring lich, who else can break through Edward's current mental defense? What else can erupt in the present where all the magic nets are deflected, which seems to be able to destroy the world?

And I was too careless.

Either because of the previous series of victories, or because of the calm performance of this monster, but no matter what, it is a fatal mistake to just put his life box in the space bag without doing anything - if even the spirit crystal servant he created can often break through the blockade of the space bag and crawl out to talk to him, then how could the life box containing his original soul not be able to do it? The reason why this old lich has been calm is probably waiting for this opportunity?

"Young people are so careless that they actually carry such dangerous things with them."

The moment the lightning was all scattered, the Master said, and the golden luster squirted out from the surroundings - the ground, the ceil, and even the pillars of each cabinet. Bright runes peeled out from every part of the room. Finally, a small light ball carved around the metal.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the little thing, then Albert shook his head: "You guy is lucky, I just have some time."

Edward sighed. Because at this time, another voice also spoke to him in his heart.

"You are really lucky, I had a chance."

The sound of the words of the soul is the calm and hoarseness of the lich as always. However, Edward could feel the endless regrets in it.

Yes, it's a good opportunity indeed.

If I were making this magic circle in my own mage tower.

The manufacturing of magical items is the process of mages keeping their power on the magic circle. Once they fail, the result will be basically the same as the spell failure. And at the last moment when this powerful magic prop is completed, if you are deliberately attacked and killed by this old lich, it will not be just a matter of injury - the strong magic backlash is enough to shake Edward's soul, and Katzejek, who is not bound by the magic circle defense, can not only escape immediately, but also make up for a blow without hesitation.

At that moment just now, the lightning condensed in front of Edward's eyes should be spiritual energy? Energy waves. The power of this mind transformation system is not special. It is just simply pursuing the energy mobilized by mental power. But because it is so simple, the power of the explosion in an instant is extremely terrifying - Edward himself once used it to kill a wizard with a white phoenix in an instant. Now if it were Cartzejek, the spirit-sucking monster lich, personally, it would probably only be greater than that attack. Even if Edward can shape a divine shield, he would definitely be in a mess under such high energy.

...It may not be that way - the old lich had a strong spiritual impact in front, the backlash of the failed magic item production was behind, and the two strokes were added together. I am afraid that Edward, as the creator, had been very confused. How could he stop the old guy's long-planned sneak attack?

The deduction in his heart made Edward secretly chill. If all these assumptions come true, it would be a classic counterattack... If it weren't for Albert, his life would probably be here. Although being plotted by a monster lich with a spirit-sucking monster would not have been considered a gutter, the result was no different.

"I'm so sorry."

After a moment of silence, Edward bent down deeply at the short figure - if it weren't for Albert's help, then he might have been communicating with death at this moment.

"I'm sorry, no matter what, if you call me a teacher, I should do something like a teacher." The dwarf master waved his hand, but his unhappiness was beyond words: "However, if there is something next time, you'd better tell me the necessary things and don't let me guess it hard like this. If I had known that it was such a thing, I could at least add a layer of mental protection to you. Also, that thing is about to be scrapped, stop it quickly! Use your mental power to cut off the rune channel!"

"You knew what I was going to do?"

Edward couldn't help but smile bitterly, and reached out to hold the spell array that was crackling with lightning.

Looking back, Master **'s previous performance was obviously remedy for him. The protective array in this laboratory is probably indeed of a special structure. Otherwise, Albert's protective spell just now would not be so fast. It would not be difficult to defend against that kind of energy, but to completely suppress it as before without hurting anything around him, undoubtedly means complete suppression. The power paid is not at the same level at all.

"I don't know, but it's not difficult to guess."

Regarding the question of the psychic warlock, Albert just shook his head slightly: "The props for the instruction technique are of no use except for enslaving others, especially the most advanced things you need. With your strength, I don't think that ordinary enemies can make you need to use this kind of thing, so the result is only a few. Either creatures in the outer world or undead, they cannot leave this range. In addition, the negative energy smell that is so strong that you can smell, there is no need to guess what, right?"

"But if I had said it was a lich earlier, then I would have something better, although it was not as good as this command array, but it had finished products..."

After a pause, he waved his hand and the golden sphere flew towards Edward, but his eyes were in Edward's hand. The semi-finished magic circle paused: "Forget it, it's good to let you, the little guy, practice making magic items. Moreover, this guy is obviously much more capable than ordinary undead, so one of the new works is also good. You must know that magic items are more suitable after all, after all, it's more suitable for special purposes. Keep going."

Edward smiled bitterly.

The old lich's chance of choosing a dying struggle was very accurate. The half-way abandonment of a rune almost caused the three outermost layers of the instructing the magic circle to explode, and nearly two hundred runes were scrapped... Fortunately, for Edward now, this damage was not irreparable. He added a set of silk-wrapped agate. Then he re-operated a magical craft of spiritual energy, and layer upon layer of runes condensed on the surface of the gem.

Of course, an additional change is the wizards surrounding them... the fear and suspicion in their hearts almost turned into substance. Although the conversation between Albert ** is only a few short sentences, how could anyone who can stand here have a stupid character? The terrifying lightning storm that exploded like waves just now, plus the taboo word that the old mage inadvertently spit out. It is enough for them to guess the rough outline.

But that only surprised them even more.

The mysterious young man in front of him actually wanted to control a lich... Not to mention how he planned it, the only way to control a lich was naturally the only way to get his life box. But without mentioning finding a lich's life box, the difficulty of defeating a lich was enough to discourage most people here.

What is this white-haired little ghost with Master Albert? Did he really get the Lich's life box with his own strength? What kind of power does he have?

And most importantly, who is he?

The silent question continued to expand with the subtle whispers and eye contact, but even without making any sound, the superficial thoughts they showed would be continuously captured into his mind by the mind warlock's thinking tentacles.

The heavy doubts made Edward smile bitterly... Although Albert chose the production venue here for his consideration, the master never seemed to notice some details and other people's feelings - or taken from the majesty of the master, these people would not directly ask the reason for the whole thing, but it would be almost impossible to stop talking about it afterwards. The so-called "almost" was based only on Edward's ability to successfully use spiritual energy to modify their memories, so that they could not remember the question about the "lich" that they had just heard. Otherwise, if this explosive fact would not spread throughout the academy within a few days and finally fall into Marilyn's ears, it would be a miracle.

Of course Edward believed in miracles, but as a pragmatic person, he never believed that miracles would happen easily in himself.

In fact, he really hoped to create such a miracle, even if he needed to show his tampering with memory or dominance to these people one by one - but now the situation is that he has no time to do that, otherwise he would have to destroy the magic props that had just been completed halfway through his hand, and by the way, he might have to bear the second counterattack of Katzejek.

Therefore, the psychic warlock could only suppress the many doubts in his heart and focus on his creation. Until an hourglass, this magical creation that had experienced some hardships was finally completed.

"It's not a good thing... it's pretty good, but it's just the requirements on the drawings. Without adding your own thoughts, if you add mitral around the silk-wrapped agate as a guide when choosing materials, then it won't be so fragile, and the effect can be improved a little. In addition, are you just thinking about making the effect of the command technique? The command technique is really good for the soul, but it's not fatal, right?"

The ** master randomly stumbled the disc in his hand, as if it was just a gadget like a floating technique ring or a spell missile staff: "Forget it, it's good to be able to complete the first work according to the picture. Time was beyond my expectations. In the situation just now, I haven't forgotten to deal with it, and it hasn't caused complete damage. It's also because you have some ability," he said.

Then he reached out and mixed a handful of shiny gems with some silk-wrapped agate left by Edward. He didn't see any movement. The things formed a larger disc-shaped magic circle in his hand, which was attached to Edward's one.
Chapter completed!
