Volume 1, The World of Wizards (Chapter 88, Entering the Monthly Pass)
"The teacher's defense array is a modification based on the dark cage. It eliminates the effects of imprisonment and death erosion, increases energy absorption, and does not reduce the grade at all. Instead, it can prevent the energy pollution generated by wizards from fighting against each other.
External diffusion, the effect can be said to be very good." Roger was a little proud, as if he was proud of his teacher.
But Ian feels that he is completely worthy of pride, because the Dark Cage is a large magic circle with a level up to level 6. Its implementation is no less difficult than an ordinary level 7 magic spell, but modification is another level of difficulty.
After following Jacques for more than half a year, he also knows how powerful a wizard is who can modify a sixth-level magic circle without losing a level. This is much more powerful than an ordinary wizard of the same level.
"There are currently seven of us. We could have been divided into five groups, but considering your strength, you two can be in one group, Aunt Shirley and I are in one group each, and the teacher will take Arabella and the others into one group. There is no problem in this way.
Right?" Roger asked, holding the command stick, and was ready to assign routes to them as soon as they nodded.
"This distribution is fine, but I have a personal question." Ian suddenly raised his hand to speak and asked solemnly.
"Say." Roger saw his expression and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Well, what's your relationship with Shirley?" Ian asked quickly. Jasmine's eyes suddenly lit up and she stared at Roger nervously, full of expectation.
Roger frowned and said in confusion: "We have the same teacher, what's wrong?"
"Then why did you call her aunt? Girls hate being called aunt the most. Have you never been beaten?" It was Jasmine who spoke this time, speaking in a fierce tone.
These three people have been together for a long time, so naturally they don't pay much attention to what they say. Sometimes it's normal to act petty and gossip.
"Huh?" Roger thought to himself what the hell question you were asking. He patiently explained the last sentence, "Because I was taken care of by her when I was a child, so naturally I have to respect her more."
(Damn it!) Both of them shouted in their hearts at the same time.
At this time, Roger knocked on the edge of the sand table, interrupted them and said: "Okay, look here, you two are in charge of this group, and this group, you must check it at least once every two weeks... You don't have to worry about safety.
The problem is, when you go in, take the spare formation pile. If you encounter danger, throw it underground and you'll be fine. As long as you give the backup formation pile permissions in advance, you can temporarily create an isolation area. Even talented people can't break it. Don't worry.
"
After hearing what Roger said, the two of them felt relieved and listened quietly to his explanation of the precautions. They spent another two or three days familiarizing themselves with the repair techniques before entering the battle zone carrying four spare array stakes.
Why are there four? That's because at least three are needed to separate an isolation area, and the remaining fourth is for use.
The two of them walked along with the map and chatted along the way.
"Jasmine, have you been following Master Kongsuer for the past two years?"
Consul's revenge battle has been going on for almost three years, and it has consumed countless manpower and material resources. Ian can imagine how many wizards go to Consul to redeem rewards every day, every month, and every minute and every second.
The magic stone is measured in units of one hundred, and all of this is borne by Consul Hetings alone. This shows how wealthy the high-level wizard is.
"No, after I separated from you that day, I didn't actually leave Appleton. Instead, I hid in the Lutheran Church. Not long after, my mentor came to Appleton for revenge, and I was found by him at that time. But after taking Ai
I have been staying with Roger since I gave Erfo to him, and he taught me on behalf of my mentor... Before long, I arrived at the castle to help mentor Jacques."
Jasmine briefly explained her experiences in the past few years, but Ian was filled with emotion because he felt that Jasmine's upper limit of mental power and negative energy were similar to his.
You must know that he had to risk his life several times before using the Hunter's Obelisk to directly increase the upper limit of negative energy by 21%. Who knew that the other party could easily catch up just by relying on his own cultivation? It's really embarrassing. (Hundred
The conclusion of 21/21 is based on the original 1, which has been calculated before.)
"Lium Church? Your family is still connected with Xingling Church?" Ian asked curiously.
At this time, because the Star Spirit Church is a relatively special sect, they are not keen on developing believers, nor do they like to spread their beliefs.
Star Spirit believers believe in the stars in the sky. They believe that as long as they are pious enough, they will one day become Star Spirits and ascend to the sky to live forever. Their gods are the most devout believers.
In other words, the most devout believers will eventually become the gods of this sect.
Other sects believe that after death, one can enter the kingdom of the gods and become immortal indirectly, but the Star Spirit sect directly believes that one will become a god in the end, which is much more advanced.
It has to be said that this doctrine of indirect self-belief is more attractive than all the Holy See. Even if those believers only care about their own beliefs every day, a large number of new believers will spontaneously join, and the sect is extremely prosperous.
However, no matter how many people they have, they still practice hermeticism. They never participate in such nonsense as the main plane, and their external contacts are not correct. Therefore, when Ian heard that Moli's family was connected to Lumbun Church, he was surprised for a long time.
Jasmine nodded and shook her head, looking at him in confusion.
"No, my aunt is the high priest of the Lepideven headquarters, so I can borrow the space in the Lumbun church."
It turns out that it is the mother's relationship, and she is still in such a high and powerful position.
The difference between the Star Spirit Sect and other sects is that it does not implement a papal system, but has power held by priests, high priests, and saints/holy sons.
The Son and the Saint are actually reserve human bodies of stars and spirits. Because they may be gods in the future, their status and power are even higher than that of the Pope.
As for the high priest, it can be said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people. No wonder Jasmine, an outsider, can let Lu Ming Church help cover it up.
"I'm jealous!" Ian said casually.
At this time, they came to the first array pile, which was a cube made of stones piled up regularly and covered with stone slabs.
And all they have to do is open the stone slab and take out the array pile to see if it is complete.
However, Ian and Jasmine did not start directly. Instead, they placed six fourth-level energy stones on the stone slab, chanted a spell to activate the small charging magic circle on it, and waited until the energy stones gradually dimmed and the last trace of energy was absorbed.
Step forward, open the stone slab, and use pliers to remove the array piles.
Almost every array pile needs to be operated in this way, so you need to carry a large number of energy stones and other tools.
If Ian hadn't been lucky enough to get a space ring, they would have probably asked soldiers outside to help carry these supplies.
Roger and Jasmine were not too surprised by the fact that Ian had a space ring, and they only mentioned it casually when chatting, which made him have to suspect that these two people also have such luxury goods.
(I’m so sour!) someone said jealously.
"The array pattern is complete and the pile body is complete. This point does not need to be replaced."
After carefully observing the bluestone formation piles, the two people quickly came to a conclusion, so they carefully restored the formation piles, covered them with stone slabs, and left.
The next point is a mile away. According to their speed, they can check about fifteen formation piles a day, and they need to check 240 formation piles within fourteen days. This means that they must speed up.
Speed matters.
This is a war zone, and in this nearly two thousand square miles of mountain forest there are people of various identities, or creatures that are not human beings.
This makes them dare not relax their vigilance in order to rush on their way, which really puts great pressure on them.
"etc!"
Ian raised his hand and shouted stop.
Jasmine stopped and asked doubtfully after a while: "What's wrong?" She didn't detect anything within the range of her mental perception.
But Ian took out the spare array stakes from the space ring with a solemn expression, quickly placed them on the ground, and stared in one direction.
"Esme's Calculation Method" greatly improved the range of his mental power perception. Although Jasmine's upper limit of mental power was similar to his, when it came to control, she could never catch up.
There is a person hidden 500 yards ahead and to the left, or - most likely not a person.
"Come out, friend." Ian did not answer Jasmine's question, but stared at it and shouted.
After a few minutes, there was still no movement. Jasmine became a little angry and punched him hard, shouting: "Hey!"
This punch hit him. Although it didn't hurt, it showed that Jasmine was a little angry. He had to comfort him: "I'm not lying to you, there is indeed someone."
After saying that, he sneered and started to recite the curse. It won't come out, will it? Ha!
"Winter's Claw!"
Pure negative energy gathered in front of Ian, and the spell wrapped them into reality. The temperature dropped instantly, and pillars like ice picks appeared.
Swish, swish, swish!
A figure suddenly jumped out of the metasequoia tree in the distance. The next second, the giant tree was blasted by an ice pick and broke at the waist.
The figure moved so fast that the afterimage was almost invisible to the naked eye. If Ian hadn't been able to control his mental power so well, they would have been rushed in front of them.
"Quarantine area?"
The figure suddenly stopped about 5 yards away from them, which happened to be the boundary of the quarantine zone.
Only then did the two of them, Ian, see each other clearly.
He is a handsome young man in his twenties with short hair, golden eyes, and a high nose bridge.
He was dressed like a middle-class family. Although the suit jacket was a little dirty, it still fit his straight figure.
But what surprised them most was his pair of pale fangs, which reflected the cold light in the cold mountain forest in early spring.
"Vampire!" they both said in unison.
"That's right, I said you were mercenaries. It turns out you are Lord Jacques's subordinates. That's rude!"
This handsome-looking young man turned out to be a notorious blood-drinking maniac, which made their faces turn blue.
If Ian hadn't discovered the other side first, with his ghostly speed, they might not have had time to set up an isolation zone.
Death is an injustice.
"Are you a mercenary of Master Consul?" Ian saw that the vampire seemed to know their identities, so he spoke out.
The vampire nodded, then showed a disappointed expression, and sighed: "Since you are Lord Jacques's men, I can't hunt you, and I will be hungry again. What a bad luck."
After saying that, he turned around and disappeared, leaving only Ian and Jasmine looking at each other.
"What a fast speed!" Ian exclaimed.
Jasmine couldn't help but roll her eyes and said speechlessly: "The entire main plane knows that vampires are not very fast, so this is why low-level wizards don't dare to wander around."
"Vampires, werewolves, sirens, this world is more dangerous than we know."
"Yes, yes, Miss Jasmine is knowledgeable and powerful. I admire her very much." Perhaps the slap just made him unhappy, Ian said angrily.
After hearing this, Jasmine remembered the other party's timely response just now, and couldn't help but blush.
You shouldn't say this to this piece of wood. I don't believe in showing off your knowledge.
…
After this sudden attack, both of them became vigilant. Even if they were in a hurry, they did not dare to save their mental energy. Once they felt that their mental energy was about to be exhausted, they would immediately notify the other party to stop and replenish it. The other one who was in good condition would be responsible for the vigilance.
Work.
In this way, after encountering four or five consecutive emergencies, it finally got dark and they had to find a leeward slope to camp in advance.
Although the whole day was full of near misses, Jasmine couldn't be happy because every time there was an ambush, Ian discovered it first, which made her very unhappy.
What's going on, the noble daughter of the Yinguang family is worse than the son of an earl?
But even though she has been secretly competing in the second half of the game, mental control cannot be improved overnight.
Ian's body and mind were immersed in exploring the dangers around him, and he didn't pay attention at all. Jasmine only felt that she was performing for a blind man, and she suddenly became very bored.
