Snapped.
The light belt woven from magic and alchemical materials emitted a scream in the air that was completely inconsistent with this beautiful scene. At the same time, it also slightly pulled away the huge buzzing sound that originally echoed in the house, and seemed to be guiding
Duan Qing, who was holding this light strip, then swiped down hard, and used a calm and skillful movement to put a cork on the potion bottle that was filled with various types of magical light: "This way...
"
[Completed: Wild Mana Potion.]
[Energy attenuation rate: 17%.]
Duan Qing pushed forward gracefully, and Duan Qing, who seemed to have the force in his hand, then pushed the bottle of potion that was still vibrating under the influence of magic to the far side of the table. He had used the bottle of fiery red potion before.
The ice-blue magic node that was watered has now become an empty piece, and along with the threads of the magic circle passing there, it collapses and dissipates into the air: "The effect of the illusion can be ignored, but the elements
The confinement circle must be destroyed first, but..."
"Since then, the stability of the magic seal has become a problem."
The circular magic circle that was as big as the entire room began to tremble violently, and then stabilized again under the splash of another piece of ice orchid grass that Duan Qing grabbed urgently. Duan Qing took a deep breath and then relaxed slightly.
He kept his hands vigilant, and then he heard the voice of a man with a long knife hiding in a corner: "This time it's really going to explode! You... holy shit, how did you do that?
?”
"Wing orchid grass has very strong freezing properties, although it won't show up at all when brewing potions."
Looking at the entire magic circle that seemed to be covered with a layer of frost and slowing down, Duan Qing's mouth twitched slightly: "Because this kind of medicinal herb that grows in extremely cold places can only be healed when it is completely decomposed.
Release all the water elements absorbed into it."
"Completely...decomposed?"
"With the help of the potion, it is not difficult to dissolve these ice orchids."
Putting down the bottle of ice-blue potion spinning between his fingers, Duan Qing then started a new round of dazzling operations: "The collapsed magic circle was temporarily frozen, and the same was true for the burst of energy.
What we have to do now is to get rid of the remaining two flashpoints before these slowed-down elemental currents start to surge again."
"...Is it something like just now?"
"Not exactly, but... you can understand it that way."
Reaching out and grabbing another thick turtle shell, Duan Qing began to apply the gray potion he had just used on it: "You only got two pieces, so I can only absorb two of them. The rest
...We can only rely on other methods."
"absorb?"
"The shell of the ancestor tortoise is the best buffer, because those turtle shells that have experienced all kinds of wind and frost are the most powerful inert bodies I have ever seen."
Reaching out to place the turtle shell on another magic node that seemed to be covered with ice dust, Duan Qing turned to raise another gray magic potion bottle in front of him: "Merve this thing with the diversion potion.
, you can create the most stable magic neutralizer, and then guide the liquefied magic energy into it..."
When the magic buzz echoing in the center of the room became smaller again, Duan Qing, who pulled out another ice-blue silk thread in his hand, guided the overflowing energy into a new glass bottle: "This should be enough."
That’s it.”
"You, who exactly are you?"
Looking at the figure of the gray-robed magician who thrust the second cork into the mouth of the bottle, Black Corn's eyes widened further and further: "This magical alchemy...
"
"Some little tricks I figured out when I had nothing to do are not worth mentioning."
Pushing the bottle of wild mana potion into the distance again, Duan Qing raised his hands and found two more weirdly colored potion bottles: "Since there is no turtle shell, then..."
"The only way to deal with it is through dissolution."
As if he had transformed into an ordinary welder, Duan Qing, who kept waving his hands, began to work on the surface of the magic circle in front of him. One magic node after another was followed by his hand waving the potion bottle.
The ground disappeared, and as more and more magic threads were pulled into the air, they were decomposed into the surrounding air one by one. The potions in the several bottles of magic potion at hand began to become less and less, which belonged to Duan Qing's hands.
His fingers drew more and more rainbow-colored tracks in the air. As his eyes continued to wander around the magic circle, the sweat on his forehead gradually became more and more, until the crackling magic light and shadow
When it started to become sparse, he slowly stopped: "Huh..."
"It should be almost done." He rolled up his sleeves, and at the same time placed his hands that had shaken off the medicine bottle in the center of the magic circle: "Both layers of elemental locks have been opened, next..."
"This is the last step!"
The grand scene like a fountain spurted into the sky of the room as Duan Qing suddenly raised his hands upwards, emitting dazzling light like fireworks about to explode. Duan Qing was illuminated by the light and his whole body turned red.
Then he grabbed the last bottle of potion that he had prepared and threw it out before the light was about to break through the shackles of the entire room: "Slow down the solidification! Neutralize the elements!"
"Then...magic suppression!"
Bang!
In the muffled sound that was heavier than the previous roar, the already scattered ring-shaped light and shadow exploded into gorgeous fragments in the suddenly shrinking scene, and the air squeezed by the magic energy that had not yet dissipated also seemed to expand.
Like an inflated balloon, several figures around him flew up together. The sight of dust and wood chips flying everywhere in the sky, together with the broken glass, suddenly exploded into the night sky outside the house. At the same time, there were also
There were flames intertwined with the magic radiance that had not yet dissipated, and the colorful fireworks soared into the air. The black corn that had fallen in the corner took a long time before he pulled his back out of the dented wall, with a leaking
He coughed twice heavily from the corner of his mouth that was bleeding: "It was so dangerous, I almost got... Hey, you!"
"Sorry, I forgot to take back the magic amplified energy."
Duan Qing's voice slowly appeared in the dust that gradually dispersed, and at the same time, his hand waved away the surrounding smoke from the darkness: "Explosions in alchemy experiments are common.
Please be a little tolerant."
"Holy shit, are you doing an experiment too?" Smelling the pungent smell that still hadn't dissipated, Black Corn stood up with difficulty and yelled, pointing at the charred walls around him: "The house was almost destroyed by you.
!”
"You have to ask me to do this. What can I do?"
After passing through all kinds of magic smoke still floating in the air, Duan Qing, holding the wooden box, walked slowly to the other party: "Take it."
"...Untied?"
"The seals have been destroyed. Use magic to neutralize them."
Pushing the small wooden box into the opponent's arms, Duan Qing stood up and took two steps back again: "Although it should be impossible to have any more mechanisms, but... it's up to you whether you want to open it or not.
"
"..."
His face gradually became serious, and Black Corn, who was holding the small wooden box, swallowed his own saliva: "With such a tight and powerful seal, what could be inside it?"
"God knows."
As if there was no interest at all, Duan Qing immediately turned around and said, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me anymore."
As if he understood what the other party meant, Black Corn held up his hands and carefully observed the surface of the wooden box that was not damaged at all. After hesitating for a while, his fingers slowly covered the complicated patterns with a creaking sound.
There was a crunching sound as it was lifted up with force. The moaning and paining sounds of the remaining players who were gradually standing up gradually disappeared, and at the same time, their gazes gathered on the surface of the wooden box appeared.
, the look of anticipation due to a series of experiences that had happened before finally turned into confusion, and moved to Black Corn who had not moved for a long time: "Team, captain...?"
"...Hehe, haha, hahahaha."
The deliberately created low dry laughter then sounded behind Duan Qing, pulling him back from his original intention to lift his legs and leave: "It's empty."
"...expected?"
"I guess so."
Flipping the empty box in his hand back and forth, Black Corn pulled the corner of his mouth and rolled his eyes: "There is indeed such an option in the expected result, but...when the result is actually put in front of me, I do feel a little uneasy in my heart.
Yue."
"Relax, no one has encountered this kind of thing several times."
A smile gradually appeared on his face. Duan Qing lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers: "The harvest this time was in vain. I will definitely find it back in another place next time."
"Thank you for your comfort, but... forget it." He lowered his head slightly, and the long-sword warrior's slightly scattered eyes continued to wander around the empty box in his hand: "It took so much time and effort.
Manpower and material resources can only be used as a lesson... Huh?"
The hand that was flipping the wooden box up and down suddenly stopped, and his eyes gradually stopped on the inside of the lid above the wooden box: "Far...long...hill? Elemental secret book? What is this?"
"Is it something written inside the box?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows with interest: "Interesting, it sounds like an address or something..."
"A clue leading to the next treasure?" Black Corn, who suddenly became excited, then forcibly held down his brow: "No, no, since this box was deliberately forged by the employer, then this clue is also
Probably……"
"It depends on your judgment."
Duan Qing waved his hand and, still smiling, turned and walked towards the night sky outside the house: "Should I continue to follow this line, or should I just stop..."
"You can decide for yourself."
******************************
The wind that has entered the dark night carries the chilling temperature and passes through the streets of Tanzania. The Santerius area, which is empty because it is located in the wilderness of the southern part of the empire, also follows this day and night.
The temperature difference gradually increased, once again driving the crowds of people flowing on the streets of this city to their homes. The same situation also occurred around the residential house that had just exploded in the northwest of Tanzania City. At the same time, gradually
Also dispersed were the groups of imperial guards who had gathered because of the accident. The few captain-looking guys who were stranded at the end were also loudly lecturing the Black Corns standing in the corner.
He didn't notice the footsteps of a certain gray-robed magician Shi Shiran who had already left along with the crowd: "Is it already so late?"
"We have to go back quickly."
Shaking a money bag he just got from Black Corn, he listened to the sound of the platinum coins inside as they collided with each other, and then walked forward in the direction of the street, cleaning it hard at the same time.
The traces of embarrassment on his body were scorched black by those magical gunpowder smoke. The cries of vendors and the noise of passers-by also became less and less at this point in time, replaced by roadside hotels.
Shaking his head and laughing at the increasingly noisy scene in the tavern, he then put the troubles on his head behind him and went straight back to the tavern where he stayed when he first came to this city: "I didn't expect to come here.
I had no idea that my first day in this place was so colorful..."
I don't know how they are doing now.
The name of the familiar adventure group flashed through Duan Qing's mind, and certain images and outlines of several players from long ago gradually emerged in Duan Qing's mind. Then, with an inexplicable sigh, he slowly closed his eyes.
Eyes. The silence caused by the memories of various tastes was later replaced by the louder noise of the tavern. After pushing the door in, he merged with the drinkers who were once again filling the "Wind Eagle", and gradually wrinkled.
The raised brows were slowly focused on the IDs representing the players due to the movement of several figures that were obviously different from the others: "...there is someone there."
"Yo." One of the players sitting in front of the same bar, holding a wine glass in his hand, said hello to Duan Qing, who was gradually approaching: "Are you here to drink too?"
"I have a room here."
Pointing to their feet, Duan Qing then sat next to the man as if nothing had happened: "It's nighttime, and adventurers in the free world always have to rest."
"Yes, yes, you are right."
Nodding vigorously, the player named Doomsday Sorrow then laughed at a man dressed as a swordsman next to him: "Did you hear that? We also need to rest, and those tasks and the like will be put away first.
Can we go on one side? It’s hard to find such a lively place..."
"If we relax a little, we might get twice the result with half the effort." (To be continued)
