Tonight is a sleepless night for the towns surrounding the Ebou Aili Magic Tower.
Smoke filled the sky above the magic tower, and the firelight turned the sky red, which could be seen even from a long distance away. Coupled with the rumbling explosions from time to time, this made the town residents who could see the strange behavior of the magic tower
They felt increasingly uneasy, but out of their long-standing awe for the wizard master of the magic tower, they did not dare to approach the magic tower rashly. They could only pray secretly at home, hoping that this disaster would not spread to their homes.
.
Unlike the residents of the small town, the people living in the Magic Tower now particularly hope that someone can help them, even ordinary people.
The flames burst out from the dilapidated house, and the thick smoke and dust were filled with the cold silence of death. Only occasionally could there be a gradually weakening sound of "shenyin" mixed with the crackling sound of the flames burning wood, and then slowly dissipated.
in the air.
In the corners of the smoke that occasionally show up, you can see the broken bricks and stones that form piles of ruins. Occasionally, blood flows out along the gaps, and after being stained with dust, it turns into a disgusting dark red.
In places where the flames have not affected, some survivors are rescuing their comrades. There are also many slaves who escaped the previous disaster and took the opportunity to flee. Some were lucky enough to overcome the failed defense measures and enter the outer perimeter.
In the forest, there are also some people who are really unlucky and end up running into some magic traps, which adds more blood to the night.
Although the huge vibrations coming from the underground were not short-lived, there was no sign of stopping. Every vibration made the people still alive on the ground tremble with fear. There was neither Ebouali nor two elected apprentices.
While present, the remaining trainee apprentices had already decided to quit. As long as someone took the lead, they would probably disperse in the next moment.
Unlike the uneasy Spell Tower, the nearby woods are quiet and peaceful, but the vigilant animals have begun to move away, and only the insects are still making persistent chirping sounds, proving that the forest is still there.
Full of life.
Suddenly, the chirping of insects stopped, the woods suddenly became quiet, and a strange feeling emerged spontaneously.
rustle……
It was the sound of soil being stirred. If a troubadour passed by nearby and heard this sound, then a terrifying story that would scare a girl in a purdah so much that she could not sleep but would not let go might be born.
The sound lasted for a while, and then disappeared. After a while, the sound sounded again, and it was louder than before, like a wild beast digging hard into the soil.
call……
After brushing away the soil above his head, Geer raised his head from the ground and carefully observed his surroundings. After finding nothing unusual, he took a deep breath.
Climbing out of the hole that appeared in a bush, Geer turned around and stretched out his hand, dragging the person behind him who was also a little gray-faced out of the hole.
Following Geer came out a girl with burgundy hair and a charming face, but her temperament seemed a bit tough.
"I think I can explain it." Seeing Geer staring at her without any warmth in his eyes, the girl looked a little embarrassed, "I think it's understandable that this little problem happened after so many years." As she said,
The girl turned around and patted the dust off her body in a pretentious manner.
"Small problem?" Geer couldn't help but grind his back molars. A stone about the same size as his head had hit a bump on his cheek. Now he could feel the stinging pain every time he spoke a word.
And the "shenyin" where the teeth are wobbly.
When he came to the exit through a secret escape tunnel, after he pulled the trigger that was still usable, a rain of sand and gravel fell directly from above, almost burying the two of them alive in the secret passage. It turned out that they passed by
Such a long time. This secret that was originally set up
The outside of the escape tunnel was covered with layers of soil. Once the tunnel was opened, the accumulated soil poured directly down and rushed into the tunnel, directly flooding nearly half of the tunnel. It was difficult for the two of them to escape from the soil.
The pile climbed up and returned to the ground.
Even though Geer knew that this situation was an uncontrollable factor, compared to Ruthernova's previous assurance that there would be no problem, Geer was naturally a little dissatisfied.
But after complaining twice, forget it. After all, both of them managed to escape in the end.
By the way, the girl who left the cave with Geer is Ruthenova in her current form. Although Ruthenova looks beautiful and delicate now, with curvy curves, Geer will not have any thoughts at all. After all, even if she is an ordinary person,
After people see the process of condensing a living heart from a ball of blood, and then bones, internal organs, muscles, skin, and finally into a human body, unless they have special hobbies, it doesn't matter whether they are physical or psychological.
There will be no positive reaction from anyone.
Besides, Geer also knew that to Ruthernova, the form of male and female did not matter at all, and it did not even matter whether they were human or not. If it were not for his objection, Ruthernova would have simply appeared in his appearance. Now for convenience
The action uses the human form, regarding the specific appearance
Ruthernova used the female statue in the Hall of Thinkers as a template. I heard that she was the leader of the group of people who imprisoned her, and it had a particularly deep impression on her. As for the burgundy hair, it was in memory of Ge.
As a blood provider, I chose the same hair color as him.
Thinking of this, Geer recalled the process of helping Ruthernova get out of trouble.
According to the information provided by Ruthernova, the entire maze and palace were originally cells used to imprison it. The magma in the abyss, which will never be extinguished, was used as an energy supply, and it was transformed under the influence of the formations throughout the maze and palace.
In order to restrain the power of its void form, it can maintain it forever even if no one is in charge. According to its calculations, if it wants to wait until this prison fails, it will have no chance unless the world dies completely.
Based on this situation, Ruthernova came up with a tricky method, which is to change his own form of existence. This is because this magic circle is used to target the void form. If he becomes a human being who belongs to this world,
If it is a biological form, it will naturally not be constrained by this magic circle, just like Geer now.
The method is very simple. Ruthernova has already prepared the corresponding transformation circle, which is in the sarcophagus where it sleeps. But if it wants to be transformed successfully, it must use a large amount of blood from the void creatures transformed into the forms of creatures in this world.
, and it is useless to use those native beings in this world. Like before, entering other worlds and wanting to abandon the void form
If it transforms into a life form, Ruthernova will find a guardian who has integrated into this world to cooperate, but not every world can find such a collaborator. In this world where it has been imprisoned for so long, it has never been seen.
After passing through other guardians and observers, and waiting for so many years, I was lucky enough to finally find a qualified candidate like Geer.
What happened next went smoothly. In just ten minutes, based on a large amount of Geer's blood, Ruthernova transformed into a human and finally escaped from this prison.
"What are you going to do next?" Geer patted the dust on his body, pulled out the little guys who had crawled into his clothes from the mud, and threw them back into the bushes.
"Find a place, stay quietly, and then see if there is a way to restore the void form. I don't want to stay in this dangerous world anymore. This unpleasant journey has been enough for now." Lucenova smiled.
Laugh, it or she only has a few strips of cloth "borrowed" from the clothes worn by Geer. According to human habits, several key points are covered, and the exposed skin is shot through the tree cover into the forest.
The patches sparkled in the moonlight.
"Well, let's go. This is a little closer to the magic tower. Let's find a safe place first." Geer nodded, identified the direction, and followed the carriages transporting supplies from nearby towns in his image.
Start moving in the direction.
Lucenova followed closely.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a dirt road appeared in front of Geer and Ruthernova. It also had wheel marks left by the recent passing of the Pegasus. It seemed that Geer had not chosen the wrong direction.
Seeing that there was a clear road guide, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. According to the current situation, they only need to follow this road to the nearest town to resupply, and then continue to leave Ebouai as quickly as possible.
Taking advantage of the magic tower's coverage area, it can be said that the two of them are truly safe.
After realizing this situation, the two stopped talking and just hurried on in silence, hoping to cover more distance tonight when the magic tower fell into chaos.
Half an hour later, the two finally stopped, not because they had reached their destination, but because of the situation in front of them - there was a burning smell in the air, and there were several large craters on the dirt road that looked like they had exploded.
, the trees on the roadside were also broken and pushed down one after another, extending into the depths of the woods. It was obvious that a battle had occurred here not long ago.
"It was caused by a spell. It should be a fight between two people who can use spells." Geer came to the scene of the battle and just took a look. He soon found traces of a large concentration of energy particles. He already had a certain understanding of the spell.
He was very aware of the traces left behind after using spells many times in a short period of time. "There is a carriage, it is running away, and someone is chasing it."
"There is no residual reaction from the position. He is not an official wizard, and is probably just a senior apprentice." Ruthernova, who shared Geer's knowledge, discovered more. As a void creature that has existed for countless years, her soul strength and induction
His ability far exceeds that of Geer. "What do you think?"
"Go and have a look." Geer said and then walked toward the woods along the traces of the battle.
Seeing this, Ruthernova just shrugged and followed.
