If a person is determined to do something, then consciously or unconsciously, he will do a lot of things in advance to prepare the ground. Until he starts, you will find that the distance from the beginning to success is only one step away.
This is Ian's most real feeling right now.
Ten minutes ago, after the two agreed to help, Consul took them here. In the words of the instructor, this is the real secret garden, and all private activities of wizards will be carried out here.
The place where they are now is reached through a metal door in the exclusive laboratory, which is a Hellfire-style square.
If the previous exclusive laboratory was an authentic wizard laboratory, then the square here is more similar to the underground lair where cultists gather. The orange formations on the floor are intermittent and dense, which brings a bit of the future.
Technology style.
If you add some silver-textured seats or consoles and virtual light screens, it will become more like a technological creation.
Despite this, Ian couldn't help but exclaimed, "How cool!"
"What?" Jasmine asked doubtfully, but Ian ignored her.
The square covers a large area and is transparent all around.
As their vision radiated outward, they were horrified to discover that the huge square was actually floating on an active magma river. The reason why Ian was sure it was magma was because he saw the distortion of the air, which was caused by high temperatures.
phenomena that will occur.
But the strange thing is that there is no burning sensation at all inside, and the indoor temperature remains at a comfortable temperature.
The square is very clean, with not many things. There is a depression like a fish pond in the center.
Consul didn't explain much. He took the two of them there, and Ian realized that it was a fish pond. It was simply fish soup, okay? Floating on it was lava as thick as tomato paste, and you could feel the heat wave here.
Attack.
"Listen to me. I will cast a spell on you later so that the pursuers cannot directly locate you. Then I will break the dean's confinement spell and release Alfo. Then you will need Jasmine to take him away.
, Ian is responsible for covering, do you know each other?" Consul waved his hand, and two coffins appeared on the ground. He looked up at the two of them, "You have all undergone knight training, can you carry it and escape?"
The size of the coffin was made according to Elfo's height, and was one-third smaller than the size of an adult. The weight was not difficult, so Ian nodded subconsciously.
"I have a question, mentor." Jasmine interrupted Consul and raised her hand, "You haven't told me yet what kind of state Elfo is in. What will happen to him after I bring him back to his mother clan?"
What should we do? You know, the divine envoy of the Apocalypse will attract covetous attention wherever he goes. Have you thought about what to do?"
This is an extremely realistic problem, but Ian doesn't need to think about it.
It was Consul who needed to think carefully, but he had already thought about it, so he nodded: "I will seal Alfo until I think of a way to solve the heart of the undead in Apocalypse. Don't worry, he will remain asleep until then.
of."
"As for the covetousness you mentioned..." He paused and said with sinister eyes, "I think no one can get close to him except members of the Toherty family, right?"
Jasmine was silent for a while, then she took a deep breath and replied: "I understand, I will protect him."
Consul's subtext is obvious. If the Toherty family tries to figure out Elfo, or if someone else steals Elfo, no matter who it is, he will settle the account with Toherty.
On the family.
No one can ignore the threats of a crazy mentor, no one.
Then they discussed some details of the operation again, and then Consul cast a spell on the two of them to hide their tracks.
The instructor drew a magic pattern on the elbows of the two of them. Both of them recognized part of the pattern, which was for eliminating odors, but the other half, which they did not recognize, they guessed was to prevent positioning. After all, some wizards are good at it.
Divination, this thing is very good at finding people.
"Get ready to meet Alfo!"
After Consul finished speaking, Ian saw a black ring appear above his head. He suddenly flew into the ring and then disappeared, leaving only silence in the laboratory.
"Gulu!"
Ian swallowed and asked tentatively: "What method is that?"
Jasmine shook her head, indicating that she had touched upon her knowledge blind spot. Then her eyes lit up, as if she had seen something extraordinary.
Point to a certain place outside and shout: "Look!"
Ian looked in the direction she pointed, and saw another huge square appearing on the originally empty magma river. The top of the square was covered by a gray light shield, like an eggshell, making it impossible to see what was inside.
.
However, what is certain is what is actually inside.
Suddenly there was a hole in the egg shell, and a firework-like light rushed out from inside and quickly flew towards them.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" came the instructor's voice.
The ring just now appeared above the two of them again and dropped something.
Ian caught it before he could see what it was. After holding it firmly, he discovered that it was Alfo who had been imprisoned for a long time. He was still sleeping at this time.
So you stole it? The instructor is really strong.
This thought passed in a flash, and before he had time to think more, he had already put Elfo into the coffin next to Jasmine according to Consul's instructions, and finally closed the coffin and waited quietly.
Consul quickly came out of the ring, panting. But he had no time to recover, and quickly took out a handful of smooth bone nails from his waist, with as many as ten.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
He used brute force to drive the bone nails into the surroundings, sealing the coffin. He didn't seem to worry about Elfo's ventilation problem at all. The barbaric technique made Ian's eyelids jump, and he secretly wondered whether his mentor was a wizard or a knight.
.
"Nail this. Unless you are twice as strong as me, you will never be able to open it."
Consul said casually, and then began to recite a spell. He saw circles of purple chains appearing on the coffin for no apparent reason, trapping it tightly.
"Ian, let me borrow your dagger." He extended his hand without looking back.
Ian's head jumped. How to get the hunter's broad blade turned into a tattoo? So he put his hand into his robe to hide the transformation process, and finally "taken out" the dagger and handed it over.
The broad blade with the "sharp" attribute cut open Consul's palm. He placed the wound on the coffin, and the blood dripped on it and was quickly absorbed.
Consul thrust the dagger hard into the coffin, and suddenly there was a bright light. The strong light forced the two of them to close their eyes temporarily, unable to think for a while.
"Exile~~"
In the middle of the day, Ian heard a vague word.
hiss,
There was a stinging pain on his elbow. What was it? He subconsciously touched it with his other hand, but strangely, there was nothing.
"Is it a hallucination?" he muttered secretly.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now." Consul's slightly excited voice came, so he slowly opened his eyes.
At this time, a majestic voice full of anger was heard coming from a very far distance. The voice seemed to contain infinite power. Wherever it passed, large areas of lava were blown up by the magma river. The scene was like a doomsday volcano.
Then, squares appeared above the river, filling this vast underground space and serving as laboratories for other instructors.
That was the voice of Dean Hercules.
"Consul Hettings, how brave you are."
Consul looked at those squares, smiled disdainfully, turned his head and shrugged to the stunned two people:
"The escape has begun, little guys." There was no hint of panic in his tone that he had done something bad.
…………
Quick! Quick! Quick!
Ian ran through the wide tunnel with a coffin on his back, followed closely by Jasmine. This time there was no need for Consul to urge him, and the two of them were already running very fast with the wind blowing under their feet.
The exclusive laboratory was located deep in Norton Mountain, a long way from the cemetery exit, so they had to run as fast as they could to avoid being exposed.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and the wizard would not go out shopping if he had nothing to do, so the two of them ran over without any danger along the way. Although they were very tired, they got ahead in time.
Just now in the square, Ian and Jasmine had seen the dean's anger, and they didn't want to be caught back now.
Along the way out of the cemetery, they each picked a horse and hurriedly fled outside. Shortly after the two left, there was a rapid ringing of bells in the cemetery, followed by a clicking sound from the dead trees on both sides of the cemetery.
, like bones cracking.
I saw that the dead trees covered with ice crystals had mutated, with countless brown vines growing wildly on them. The dry and messy vine branches spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, crossing the white snow, connecting into a network, and soon closing the entire cemetery
.
From a distance, it looks like a simple bird trap that has been triggered. Unfortunately, the birds have eaten and drank enough before the cover was put down and flew away. When the cover was put down, there was nothing inside.
…
It was late February or early March, and the snow was gradually melting. The gravel on the road was mixed with mud and was very slippery. If you were not careful, it would be easy for people and horses to fall over, so they did not dare to push too hard.
"Should we go separately when we get to Avon Town?" Jasmine said. She has someone in the town who can change horses and replenish supplies.
Yorkshire and Sunderland are both in the north of the monastery, generally in the same direction, but they must not go together, so Ian nodded and said: "My task is to cover you. When I get to Avon Town, I will go east."
Let’s take a detour to Appleton, and I will take a boat to Lae from there. In order to ensure that they divide their forces, I will stay in Appleton for a while, and you can run away as soon as possible.”
"Okay, I'll go directly north, please be careful." Jasmine had no objection to this and took a boat from Appleton eastward via the Avon River to the Lai River. Although the distance was more than two hundred miles, because it was by boat,
There is also a large section of the river downstream, so the time is roughly the same.
When he arrived in Avon Town, Ian went to a blacksmith shop in front of the town to exchange a horse with the boss. The monastery's horses were much better than the horses used by civilians. This transaction was obviously made by the blacksmith shop owner, but Ian hurriedly
I don’t care too much about time.
Ignoring the strange look from the blacksmith, Ian straightened the coffin and continued on his way.
He walked the road from Avon to Appleton twice. The last time he came here was also in a hurry, but the leisure and excitement at that time could no longer be reproduced. Now he was just a frightened fugitive. In addition to thinking about what to do,
How to escape, apart from occasionally being distracted and paying attention to the road conditions, he no longer had any energy to care about anything else.
According to Consul's plan, if Ian wants to be effective, he must at least leave traces everywhere for the monastery people to hunt down, and try to delay as much time as possible.
He is like a bait, which can neither make the prey really eat it, nor make the prey feel that it cannot eat it. It has to hang them and drag them down.
"For the formula!" Ian lamented and continued to ride forward.
Then he remembered the reward on the hunter's obelisk, and he became even more angry. He wished he could kill Yewen directly after arriving in Appleton at night.
But this is obviously unrealistic. His current situation does not allow him to do this.
