After the conversation with Anna just ended, Fisher stopped talking. Instead, he closed his eyes and rested for a while. Anna next to him looked sideways at Fisher's face with his eyes closed and rested.
, Fisher, who had his eyes closed, suddenly spoke again, which scared Anna and quickly retracted her sight,
"By the way, I suddenly remembered something."
"...What?"
Fisher opened his eyes, reached into his arms, and took out several playing cards that were shining with fluorescent light, and then handed all the playing cards to Anna.
Anna subconsciously took it, but still asked doubtfully,
"What is this?"
"Once you enter the treasure house, you will inevitably have a confrontation with Blake. His physical strength is beyond my imagination. In order to ensure your safety, I will give you some high-level magic I made and use it in times of crisis.
After going to the healing room, there were only four left, three offensive spells and one protective spell..."
Fisher briefly introduced the effects of these magics. Although Anna did not understand the principles of magic, there was no problem in using it. Fisher did not reach out to test whether the magic circuits on her body could light up.
Anna nodded and silently put the poker back into her dress. When Fisher just closed his eyes and prepared to rest, she spoke again,
"You gave it to me, what will you do?"
"Don't worry about me. I was caught off guard by Blake before. It will be better this time. I will engrave some more magic after I close my eyes for a while."
"...That's it."
Anna has actually heard that many magicians cannot carve magic anytime and anywhere. They also have to pay attention to whether the condition is good and whether the materials are sufficient. Only the students of this great magician can carve magic so casually.
?
She nodded and stopped talking. She and Fisher also closed their eyes and rested together.
Hiatt was already lying on his side in the hall and started counting stars out of boredom. Jasmine was lying on the table ready to take a nap, and Sir Shu turned into a quiet book and lay on the table.
The little quiet time before the war was very precious. Even Anna, who was usually anxious, rarely calmed down. Maybe she felt a lot better after venting some of her feelings.
With such a temporarily relaxed state of mind, Anna's consciousness fell heavily, and she didn't know which dream she was going to.
...
...
"Wake up... wake up."
"...Um?"
Anna was woken up by Fisher's call. She groaned in discomfort, and then opened her eyes with difficulty, only to find Fisher squatting in front of her and looking at her expressionlessly.
She took a breath and lowered her head to find that Fisher had thrown his coat on her body to prevent her from being so cold in her sleep. He himself was wearing a white shirt.
"...what time is it now?"
"It's almost dawn, get up first."
"Well...thank you for the clothes."
"It's your clothes originally, there's nothing to thank you for."
Fisher did not take back the coat. Wearing less clothes would be more suitable for what was to come. He walked back to the table next to him. Only then did Anna realize that Fisher had spread out a book and tore out many pages.
Come down, each one has a simple low-ring magic engraved on it,
Gao Huan's magic now has no time or materials to engrave, so he can only use this to top it off first.
Jasmine was already awake, and Siatt didn't know where to go. Anna rubbed her shoulders and slowly stood up, looking at the foggy sky that was isolated by the glass.
The weather today is very bad. It's like the sky is moistened with ink. It's frighteningly gloomy.
"There's no sunlight outside. Can I turn on the hidden magic you mentioned?"
"It has nothing to do with sunlight. Hidden magic just requires the right time and is not affected by the weather..."
"Fischer! Oh no, the soldiers outside disappeared at some point?"
At this moment, a crisp sound of horse hooves came from the corridor outside the library, and at the same time, Siatt's anxious reminder came. She ran in with a bow and arrow and a dagger on her back, pointing to the window sill outside.
said.
After hearing this, Fisher followed her out of the hall of the library. Sir Shu also followed Fisher to the direction of the balcony, but saw a dead silence around the still dark Lake Nali. The guards who had appeared here before were no longer there.
I know where he went, maybe he changed shifts.
Above the dark clouds in the eastern sky in the distance, a small line of fine light spots is slowly spreading, symbolizing that Sunrise is now ready to begin.
And in Saint-Nali further away, two long lines of black smoke spread straight into the sky. It seemed that there was a fire somewhere, and the fire was very strong, otherwise it would not reach Lake Nali.
From this position, you can see the two plumes of smoke in the sky in the distance.
That direction... is probably the Pink Pavilion and Black's mansion.
"Puff puff..."
"ha.."
"Woo..."
At the next moment, there was a sudden burst of falling water from the opposite side of the river bank. With Fisher's excellent eyesight, he could vaguely see deformed and twisted monsters spreading along the river bank, as violent as a tide.
There were layers of white water splashes.
And above the tide of flesh and blood monsters, a tall old man wearing a cloak stood against the wind, looking straight at this side.
That's Blake!
Fisher took a breath of cold air. Blake must have known the situation here. He had taken care of the things left in Saint-Nali throughout the night and arrived at Lake Nali before morning.
The departure of the soldiers in Lake Nali was probably the result of a deal reached between Dexter and Blake. Blake would not leave until he caught Jasmine, while Dexter remained silent on this matter.
They withdrew the security personnel in Nali Lake, obviously not wanting to interfere with this matter.
He quickly pulled the discolored Hiatt and ran toward the library. As he ran, he shouted to the suspended Sir Book,
"Emhart, how do you unlock the first layer of hidden magic? Tell me how to control the mechanism!"
"Oh, my God, it's so scary. I have to think about it...Yes! You go to the control room on the side of the first floor first!"
Fisher, who ran back to the hall, grabbed the magic paper he had engraved on the table, and then asked Hiatt to explain the situation to Jasmine and the others, while he trotted along with Sir Book floating in front of him.
It wasn't until the end of the bookshelf on the first floor that Fisher saw a small room. Inside was a complete control platform that could control the switch of the crystal glass on the ceiling with buttons. Fisher first pushed the safety bolt, and then
Let Sir Book tell you which button to press.
"boom..."
After following Sir Shu's instructions, the entire library began to make loud noises. The mechanical mechanism pushed the glass on the ceiling to slowly move, allowing the entire sealed library to receive the first ray of breeze in the morning.
"It's done! Go out and take a look, I'm sure you'll find something!"
Sir Shu began to circle around Fisher again, and Fisher walked out of the room again. Everyone in the hall was watching the glass on the ceiling slowly move its position.
"Ding ding!"
As the glass began to move, a crisp sound like the sound of wind chimes slowly came from the void. Jasmine's eyes were very sharp, and she could clearly see the twisted glass lines on the glass gradually converging into concrete shapes in mid-air.
The shape is like countless random threads being moved by the wind to form lines.
As the circle of light moved slowly, the magic on it was activated, lighting up the strokes that formed a word.
"Sizzssssssssss!"
The word formed slowly, and the moment it appeared, both Fisher and Jasmine's eyes shrank slightly.
There was no other reason. What was in the sky was not any known Nari word, but just onomatopoeic words made up of letters. Fisher had heard and mentioned that onomatopoeic word countless times.
What is written above is,
mignonette
"Mignonette?"
"aunt?"
Sir Shu floated beside Fisher, looking up at the bright name in the sky, blinking his eyes, seeming to recall something,
"Ah, I still feel quite emotional every time I see this magic turned on, although most of the time it just wakes me up when it is turned on. Many years ago, young Black always liked to take his wife along secretly.
They swam here through the waterways of Narli and entered their treasure house without telling anyone else."
"It's a coincidence that he was just like you now... Black's wife is a pure-blood South Sea whale race, with a very noble bloodline, but she chose to spend her life on the shore with her lover.
Stay together...oh my God, there's a big bug up there!"
Sir Shu looked at the ceiling outside the library. The twisted monsters on it climbed up the wall outside the library and soon reached the skylight. They roared and tried to squeeze in through the narrow window.
, but he could only lean out half of his body.
In the corridor outside the door, there was a loud bang, and a huge force instantly penetrated the wall. Countless gravel and smoke pushed the bookshelf behind. Fisher quickly pulled the one beside him and was frightened.
Anna, to prevent her from being crushed under the bookshelf.
When Fisher came into contact with Anna's body, he realized that she was shaking with fear and her whole body was extremely cold.
"Anna, Anna..."
After shouting a few words, she remained stunned, shocked by the sky full of human insects. Fisher gritted his teeth and stared at her with his eyes.
"Laiyalu!"
"I..."
"Are you waiting to die? Hide in the back!"
Anna pursed her lips and nodded, holding the poker that Fisher gave her in her arms tightly, and ran to the back.
And in the smoke and dust that was spreading in front of him, a tall figure slowly walked out of it. Blake, whose face was full of grooves, had a very depressed expression, but his eyes were shining. He first glanced at the situation in the library.
, and then stopped on Jasmine’s body.
He smiled slightly. There were not many teeth left in his mouth, but his voice was still strong.
"Let's see, how many friends are coveting the treasures in my treasure house?"
He was panting slightly, as if he had just arrived here not long ago. Behind him, countless water-stained humans and insects spread in, but stayed behind him and did not go any further for the time being.
Looking at the terrifying and oppressive scene in front of him, Sir Shu didn't say a word, and turned into a small, finger-sized booklet in mid-air. He ran to Fisher's pocket to find it with familiarity.
He pretended to be dead in the most comfortable corner and turned into a cowardly deserter.
The speed of his escape was so fast that Fisher was stunned. No wonder this guy could move around the world without being discovered.
"Blake!"
Hiatt also felt the danger together with Fisher. She straightened up the long bow in her hand and pointed it at Blake in the distance, but she also did not attack rashly. The feeling of countless human bugs looking at her was frightening.
She was a little unnatural and raised her front hooves a little higher, hoping to increase her momentum.
"An anthropologist, an unloved centaur, and...my favorite, Anna."
Blake glanced around, and his eyes finally rested on Anna who was hiding next to Jasmine. He let out a sigh, and then stretched out his hand to Anna.
"Anna, do you know how I have been looking at you for the past few years? I have never been able to have a child in my life. Back then, among the boatload of dying Southern Continental people, I saw you at a glance. The look in your eyes was
It's so touching, that's why I spent money to buy you and your companions... Even if you betray me now, I don't feel angry at all, you know?"
With splitting eyebrows, she stared at Blake in the distance, pointed at him and cursed,
"Shut up! You devil who deserves to go to hell! What you do is worse than an animal. Do you still expect me to be grateful to you? Kajie... Anleka... they all died because of you!
Damn you! Black!"
As Anna spoke, she was so distressed that she covered her chest, as if her heartbeat was about to stop. However, the humans and insects in the distance became restless because of her roar, and they were about to be unable to restrain themselves.
In front of them, Blake gently stretched out his hand to stop them.
He ignored Anna because he already knew that it was impossible to solve the problem through transactions and negotiations alone.
"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"
"My old friend, Jörg Gedelin, is approaching his end. Things are turbulent in the Golden Palace. All the forces in Nali are watching from the sidelines... I thought things would go smoothly at this time. After all, what I want is
Not much. But I didn’t expect that... Fisher Benavidez, a famous scholar like you, would stop me from reaching the final step before I reach the finish line..."
"It's my pleasure."
Fisher stood upright in front of Blake and gave him a formal gentleman's salute.
He is so young, so handsome, just like the proud son of Nali, favored by the princess, full of talent and passion, there is also a whale girl who fell in love with him at the same age...
"Buzz buzz!"
While the two sides were confronting each other, the light on the library became brighter and brighter. After the word "Muxi" appeared in mid-air, the entire library seemed to be activated.
The illusory words fell slowly along the gravity, as bright as fireworks and as light as feathers. Every time they fell a certain distance, the surrounding walls and bookshelves began to slowly spread with silvery-white brilliance of magical heraldic lines.
That is the entrance magic to the underground.
Blake was attracted by the movement and looked up. The first thing he saw was the word "mignonette" that kept sinking.
He opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly felt that it had been several years since he came here. During this time, Katsina was responsible for all things, and he no longer brought his beloved wife with him as he did when he was young.
Come here to secretly view the treasures they accumulated together...
Thinking of this, Blake simply closed his eyes and didn't look, but the human bugs next to him had already sensed his thoughts, and they roared and rushed forward.
Fisher's expression remained unchanged, and a fluid sword had slipped into his hand. He turned back to look at Jasmine behind him and ordered,
"You stay with them, I'll take charge of Blake."
"Fisher, I'm with you!"
Jasmine had fought with Black once, and she obviously knew that the old man's physique was exaggerated, so she wanted to step forward to help, but Fisher shook his head and told her not to go out.
"I have a way, you must be optimistic about Anna and the others!"
"...Um!"
Jasmine hesitated for a second, and finally chose to believe Fisher.
Fisher waved the fluid sword in his hand, and the fluid sword extended towards the surroundings like a rotating whip. The magic in the sky kept falling. Seeing the magic around him getting brighter and brighter, Fisher walked in the opposite direction,
The target is Blake.
"Ding ding!"
Black opened his eyes suddenly, and once he made a move, he moved like thunder. He instantly stretched out his hand and grabbed the fluid sword that Fisher was swinging towards him.
The sound of metal tapping suddenly exploded, and Fisher's body was also dragged forward by a huge force at the same time. He stepped on the head of the human insect in mid-air, and a series of spinning lights appeared on a piece of burning paper.
The blade also swung away at the same time.
[Dance of Bees] Magic and Fluid Sword, several sharp attacks hit Black's body at the same time, but he didn't move at all, he just stood there quietly watching Fisher's attack
All were bounced away.
Now even Fisher discovered the clue. Before, Fisher thought that Black's muscles were too hard and he couldn't move them, but now it seems that this is not the case.
There were several attacks on Fisher that hit him directly. If Blake had strong muscles, his cloak should have split. But now, his cloak is intact!
There is something covering the outside of his body, somewhat similar to a protective shield.
Fisher frowned, released the fluid sword in mid-air, and landed among the human insects. The human insects around him tried to pounce, but their heads were cut open by the dance of bees that turned around.
"A scholar has such skills? If you were in my fleet during the exploration, we would have killed many fewer people..."
"It's a pity. If I had been born a few decades earlier, I might have had a chance. If that were the case, we would be two old men fighting now?"
Blake threw away the fluid sword in his hand. Seeing the fluid sword retracting into Fisher's hand like a python, he shook his head and said,
"This is just what you, the twenty-eight-year-old Fisher Benavidez, think now... If you had taken the risk with me at that time, you would have been over a hundred years old now, and you would have long ago not cared about this.
"
"Maybe.."
The trio of women behind them were more than capable of fighting against those human bugs. Originally, Fisher wanted Jasmine to protect Siatt and Anna, but he didn't expect Siatt, a centaur girl, to be particularly good at fighting. Thinking about it, she
But Jasmine's combat teacher came.
At this moment, Siatt was armed with daggers and bows. If she got close, she would raise her high horse hooves and crush the human insect's head.
Jasmine won't say anything else. Anna can only rely on the magic in her hand to resist the enemy, but since there are only three offensive magics, she has used one now, and after she has penetrated many enemies, she does not dare to use the next one.
The situation there was not urgent, but the fight on Fisher's side was intense.
The teleportation magic from the sky continued to fall, and the entrance to the treasure house was gradually formed. An illusory entrance slowly bloomed under Fisher's feet like a flower.
Black knew that there was no need for them to go down to the treasure house. If Fisher and the others waited here for a while, they wouldn't be able to hold on any longer, so he raised his hand and prepared to destroy the entrance magic on the wall next to him.
Fisher quickly grabbed his thick arm with the fluid sword, causing his movements to pause slightly for a moment.
"Even if I let you enter the treasure house, you will not be my opponent. You will all die in the end. Why don't you give the Son of the Sea to me, and I can just let the rest of you leave."
After saying that, Black grabbed the fluid sword with his backhand and aimed a straight punch at Fisher.
Blake had gone through systematic combat training and was much stronger than a half-timer like Fisher. Coupled with his exaggeratedly strong physique, Fisher only had to fight for a few rounds before he found it extremely difficult.
But fortunately, Fisher didn't rush out alone just to challenge Black.
He pulled the fluid sword and made a beautiful turn in mid-air to avoid Blake's blow. When he landed again, Fisher was already standing next to the wall.
Fisher suddenly withdrew the fluid sword from Blake's hand, passing through the heads of several human bugs along the way. However, in Blake's surprised eyes, he suddenly found that the shape of the fluid sword changed into a
The bowl-shaped undercut, as the Fluid Sword was pulled back, was filled with the blood of the human insect.
What is he going to do?
"I don't know which magician you hired to design this magic for you, but as long as his design ideas are not much different from mine, I can take over and do some tricks..."
Fisher's gaze went up along the wall next to him. As the word "Muxi" appeared, bright magic emblems appeared in the gaps in the surrounding space. And at the top of the magic, a huge [space]
The ring head is so eye-catching.
And the gentleman in a white shirt suddenly took out a page full of coats of arms from his arms. The page was full of coats of arms, but it was not shining at this moment, obviously it had not taken effect yet.
But in the next second, Black realized what Fisher was going to do. His face froze slightly, and he ignored Fisher and rushed toward Jasmine in the distance. He wanted to catch up with Fisher's movements.
Jasmine was caught before.
But when it comes to hand speed, the young man Fisher is still better!
I saw Fisher violently throwing the piece of paper into the air. At an extremely tricky angle, the huge [space] ring in mid-air was just above the white paper. Fisher took a breath.
, the magic circuit in his hand lit up, and he used the fluid sword dipped in blood to accurately draw the pattern of the main ring connecting the ring head in mid-air.
In this way, the ring head that borrows the effect of other magicians will draw a lot less magic power from itself. In mid-air, the paper suddenly stagnated, and the nested magic of two magics sharing a ring head was instantly formed. Before the entrance opened,
It took effect instantly.
"Son of the sea!"
Blake stretched out his hand toward Jasmine ferociously. Just before he was about to approach Jasmine, everyone in the entire venue suddenly froze. Blake was suspended in the air strangely, and all the human bugs were trembling.
Prone on the ground.
Six-ring magic, [space crushing]!
At the same time, Fisher also added Ring Tail as an exemption target, so as to prevent it from taking effect on Fisher and his party.
This high-ring magic was cut off by Fisher using his fingernails on the already engraved magic playing card. The magic that withered out without using it is simply a miracle in the history of magic engraving.
Originally, Fisher still had five magic cards on him, so he gave four to Anna. The remaining Fisher buckle material was used to make a semi-finished product. In fact, Fisher originally wanted to create a complete magic card.
There is no need to use this huge ring head, who says there is not enough magic material...
Just make do with it, as long as it succeeds in the end.
Jasmine blinked at Black, who was frozen in mid-air, and suddenly wanted to reach out and strike the old man with a sneak attack without any morals, but she failed.
Because very soon, everyone present, except for Fisher and the others, were instantly crushed by the void.
At the same time as the magic took effect, Blake and the human bugs slammed to the ground. Many human bugs struggled and roared, but their bodies were crushed and exploded from the inside.
Even though Blake's body was very strong, when he was crushed, he still roared and stared at Jasmine in front of him, waiting for the magic to end and catch her.
"Don't move, Jasmine! The target of this magic is very unstable!"
"Boom!"
Not only the human bugs and Blake, but the bookshelves, books, and desks were also crushed and deformed. The ground continued to crack, and even the libraries on the second and third floors began to collapse. This magic borrowed that very powerful
The effectiveness of the magic ring has also expanded a lot, reaching the level of seven or eight rings of magic.
Seeing that Jasmine was about to hit Black on the head again, Fisher stood motionless and shouted to her, for fear that she would be accidentally injured.
But in fact, even if Fisher didn't call Jasmine, there would be no chance, because the next moment, the original teleportation magic had already taken effect.
An illusory, flower-like light suddenly bloomed under the feet. The flower produced a lot of suction, as if it wanted to drag everyone down towards the unknown depths.
Fisher gritted his teeth, and his magic was quickly covered by the teleported space magic. The number of rings and structure of this magic was obviously higher than his own, and its world reverberation easily covered his own.
Seeing that the magic on his body was lifted, Black suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand to Jasmine again. Jasmine was not polite and turned around and swung her tail on him, knocking him back.
Just when Fisher was about to attack again, Blake's whole body was pulled by the suction force and disappeared instantly, causing him to gasp and stop.
At this time, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Jasmine. Siatt and Anna behind him had disappeared for some time. Feeling that he and Jasmine were about to be teleported, Fisher hurriedly stretched out his hand towards Jasmine.
"Jasmine! Come here!"
Jasmine pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and rushed towards Fisher. At the last moment when the suction force came, their two hands touched each other, and the next second, they both disappeared at the same time.
,
The entire library fell silent instantly, leaving only a mess of broken bookshelves and large swathes of human and insect corpses that gradually dissipated.
"Sizzssssssssss!"
But the Nali Lake outside was still deathly silent.
