Everyone in the Natural Disaster Religion looked at Hibbert sitting on the Digger with wary expressions.
However, the latter seemed not to take these people seriously.
His expression looked quite confused, and he murmured words. Because the surroundings were very quiet, every word Hibbert said was clearly heard by everyone:
"What's going on? Why did the ground suddenly collapse? Is it because of the earthquake? Or is it because I've eaten too much and been too heavy recently?"
"What is this place? Why is it so dark? And there are so many vicious guys?"
"Hey, why did it die?"
Come to the last sentence.
Hibbert looked at the digger beneath him with doubtful eyes. The latter indeed quickly lost its life after falling to the ground.
What is rather strange is that.
It seems that the digger did not fall to death——
In fact, this thing has rough skin and thick flesh, and its vitality is very tenacious. It is impossible for it to die like this.
Don't talk about Hibbert.
Marie Joa's eyes were full of doubts.
Matthew next to her was also very nervous.
Hibbert suddenly appeared here, which Matthew didn't want to see.
The other party hasn't noticed me yet.
But what if he recognizes me and greets me?
Where should Matthew go?
He felt dizzy when he thought about these problems.
Even if Hibbert never noticed him, the abnormal events brought about by the digger would definitely arouse Mary Joa's suspicion.
If the other party suspects himself or Zangula because of this, it will feel a bit like a mistake.
all in all.
Matthew smelled danger.
But his thoughts changed quickly——
At the very least, they have sneaked in and found the Scourge Cult's secret stronghold near Watcher's Heights. This undercover operation can be considered a guaranteed harvest.
If it really doesn't work, it won't hurt if we fall out.
At least this stronghold can be demolished.
Just think of this.
Matthew quickly made plans to fall out. He took the time to glance at Zangula, who still hid most of his face in the shadows and couldn't clearly see the other person's plans.
"Hey! I have a question for you! Who are you?"
A natural disaster tentacle stepped forward.
He raised a crossbow, pointed it at Hibbert, and asked sternly.
However, Hibbert still ignored him.
The former bent down and diligently checked the death status of the digger, but saw that he slightly disliked a scale on the head of the digger, and seemed to be saying to himself:
"This digger is very weird. It smells of magic and ashes. What did you use to feed it?"
He seemed to be asking everyone in the Calamity Cult.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Everyone looked at Mary Joa.
Mary Joa snorted coldly:
"Where did this madman come from? He is talking nonsense."
"Get him!"
Hear this.
Hibbert seemed a little anxious. He quickly stood up and said to Mary Joa and others:
"Don't catch me, I'm just passing by. I was sitting on the ground and suddenly the ground collapsed, and then I came here. I am also a victim."
However, the Scourge Cultists would not reason with him.
What happened was so unusual.
The Digger, the initiator of the incident, has died violently, so Hibbert, who can still speak, must be the target that Mary Joa wants to control.
Matthew calmed down and prepared to secretly assist Hibbert.
Just at this moment.
The tentacles of a warrior profession passed over the crowd and boldly flew towards Hibbert.
As he ran, he drew an ax from his waist.
His posture is vigorous and his movements are swift and fierce, giving people the feeling of a beast rushing towards him!
"do not come!"
Hibbert said anxiously:
"I don't want to hurt anyone, even if you look like a bunch of bad people."
"Shut up, pretty boy!"
The soldier jumped up high and pounced on Hibbert with a ferocious expression.
There were also two Scourge Cultists on both sides.
They quickly approached and attacked Hibbert from three angles.
Between the electric light and flint.
A soft sigh sounded.
Just when Matthew was about to throw out the spell, an extremely bright light lit up Hibbert's body.
All of a sudden.
The entire dimly lit underground space was illuminated like daylight!
The cassock on Hibbert's body swayed gently as if stirred by the breeze.
Immediately afterwards.
The swaying motion disappeared.
A huge sphere appeared with him as the center, and the space within the sphere seemed to have undergone some kind of change.
Everyone was surprised to see——
The warrior who jumped high suddenly stopped in mid-air, his body stopped falling, and his expression stayed at that moment;
The Scourge Cultists who came from the other two angles were also in the same situation.
The three of them were completely stuck.
not only that.
All time inside the light ball seemed to have stopped.
Only Hibbert himself stood out.
…
"Tip: Your partner Hibbert used the "Time Stop Series" spell.
Time Standstill Series: One of the most difficult spell problems in the field of transformation, which can cause specific areas or targets to enter a state of time standstill through different media or forms.
within the state of time standing still.
You can perform non-harmful or slightly damaging actions such as stealing, moving, pushing, humiliating, etc. on the immobilized target.
Once the behavior you do to the target exceeds the threshold of minor damage, the target will recover from this state and will have the ability to be immune to the time-stopping series of spells for half an hour.
Knowledge (transformation field): The spell Hibbert cast is specifically "Hibbert's ball (self-created spell)". Within the range covered by the ball, time almost stops in a sense. The closer to the ball, the closer it is to the ball.
In the center, time becomes more stationary, but it is by no means completely stationary.”
…
He is indeed a true genius.
Matthew secretly eliminated the spells he had prepared. No wonder the Silver Council was only worried about whether Hibbert could complete the mission, not whether Hibbert would encounter danger during the mission.
Just this hand.
That would be enough for Hibbert to roam around the continent of Irondor as he pleases!
The spells of the Time Stop series are very difficult to learn, and like the spells of the Prophecy series, they require a lot of talent.
It is estimated that there are not many people in the entire league who can stop time in a small area like Hibbert.
Including the Seven Saints.
Matthew was relieved, and he was suddenly curious about how this matter would end.
For the Calamity Cult, a mage who had his own way of doing things suddenly came to their secret stronghold, and he also stopped time in a considerable part of the area. This was completely invading the territory head-on!
If you can bear this.
The high-ranking officials of the Natural Disaster Sect may have their face completely ruined in front of the lower-level members.
as expected.
But Marie Joa shouted angrily:
"Clear this spell for me!"
This stronghold should be the strongest one in the Calamity Religion. Among the dozen or so backbone tentacles, there are actually two mages!
The two people walked out.
One of them said:
"It is useless to use spells to offset it now. This is a very rare time-stopping spell. Even the Seven Saints Alliance has few mages who can do this. I suspect there is something wrong with this person..."
Marie Joa said with a dark face:
"I don't want to know if he has a problem, I just want to know if you can fix this damn ball!"
The two looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.
Mary Joa looked at Matthew again.
The latter shrugged:
"I'm a necromancer, you don't think I can do anything about it, do you?"
Marigio turned her head away with a straight face.
after awhile.
The two people seemed to have reached a conclusion after discussing it. The older mage said:
"We can try to set up an anti-magic barrier to directly offset all the magic in this area, but this will affect the ash extraction in the square..."
Mary Joa waved her hands irritably:
"At any cost, remove this ball of light for me. I will capture this mage and torture him!"
The two men immediately went to prepare.
Speaking of which, these two mages should be considered top-notch talents. It only took them about 5 minutes to set up a circle of anti-magic barriers around them.
After a while.
One of the mages suddenly activated the barrier.
All of a sudden.
A force that Matthew felt suppressed bloomed in this space.
Immediately afterwards.
The ball of light dispersed with a bang, and all the brilliance fell into fragments and fell to the ground, forming patches of rather bright starlight.
"Success?"
Mary Joa beamed.
At this time, the two mages also turned around with smiles.
One of them said:
"The layout of the anti-magic field is complete, that mage can't escape!"
Another person said seriously:
"We can try to set up an anti-magic barrier..."
During the conversation.
A bright yellow light lit up behind the two of them.
Hibbert's ball returned to its original state, and everyone looked at Hibbert who was busy working on the body of the Digger in surprise, and then looked at the warrior suspended in mid-air and the other two Scourge Cultists.
Time seemed to go back a few minutes.
After the older mage finished saying that, he hurriedly arranged it on the ground.
"What's the matter with you?"
Someone tried to hold them back.
But as soon as he approached the two mages, his body froze in place!
The two mages seemed to have no idea what was happening outside, and were still concentrating on preparing the materials for the anti-magic enchantment. Five minutes later, everything was ready, and one of the mages activated the anti-magic enchantment.
Hibbert's ball disappears.
Then it reappeared.
The older mage smiled at Mary Joa and said:
"We can try..."
Watch this scene.
Everyone couldn't help but feel horrified.
"Back up quickly!"
Marie Joa reacted:
"The abnormal time domain is spreading outward, damn, stay away from that mage!"
"The two of them have entered a time loop!"
The others are not fools either.
Although they lacked knowledge of the Time Stop series of spells, the strange scene in front of them was enough to dissuade most people.
So everyone retreated one after another, leaving at least a 50-meter buffer zone.
Everyone silently watched Hibbert jumping up and down on the corpse of the digger, their eyes full of fear.
No one knows how to deal with this light ball, maybe they can only wait for it to disappear automatically.
What's even more embarrassing is.
Although this stronghold is quite spacious, half of it is now occupied by Hibbert and his light balls. The remaining people can only be said to be in the other half of the space, which suddenly seems a bit cramped.
"Such a terrifying spell will definitely not last long. You guys stay here and keep an eye on him. If there is any change, report it to me immediately. I will ask for my Lord's will!"
Mary Joa ordered.
The disaster believers responded one after another.
Matthew also stayed on the front line, responsible for observing Hibbert's every move.
What left him speechless was.
This guy is actually studying the corpse of the digger!
"Teacher, do you really have no way to solve this light ball?"
Before leaving.
Mary Joa came to Matthew again, looking a little unwilling.
Matthew quickly realized that asking for God's will might come at a certain price, even for a Patriarch like Marigio.
He sighed and was about to explain.
But at this moment, a slender and lovely voice came from his shoulder:
"The field of time is the most difficult field to decipher. A mage who has mastered time magic is the most terrifying. Even if his magic can be solved, he has other similar methods that can drive you crazy."
"Even the gods respect and fear the authority of time. What they respect is its power and what they fear is its difficulty."
"But among all the great existences, there is such a benevolent dusk creature who controls the power of time, and that is Mr. Crazy Second Hand."
A little goblin bounced out of the rift in time and space.
As she explained, she said hello to Matthew intimately.
Marie Joa looked wary:
"What are you?"
"Why are you here?"
The little elf bowed to her politely:
"My name is Xiao Xixi. I'm sorry, can I take up a little of your time?"
"I want to talk to you about the deeds of Crazy Second Hand."
Hear this.
Marie Joa went a little crazy:
"You want to spread the gospel of Crazy Second Hand with a patriarch of the Scourge Cult?"
Xiao Xixi suddenly looked embarrassed:
"Uh, can't you?"
"I'm sorry, I'm a novice too. I don't understand the rules here very well...isn't it okay at all?"
Marigio looked at her with murderous eyes.
Matthew coughed lightly:
"Sorry, she came to see me."
Said.
He took a step forward and whispered to Marigio:
"She is the servant of Crazy Miaozhen. Crazy Miaozhen has been trying to win me over recently, but I am not interested in these crazy guys."
"Even so, there is no need for us to be at odds with Crazy Miaozhen for the time being, right?"
Mary Joa frowned.
In the past, she would have killed this little goblin. This guy's behavior was simply blasphemy!
But now, too many accidents happened in the stronghold, and for Matthew's sake, she also had to know her priorities clearly.
"Mind your elf!"
Mary Joa said sternly, and then said softly:
"You did not choose Crazy Second Hand. It was the right choice. The Calamity Order is a better destination for you."
"But one more question, did you not join them because you thought they were too crazy?"
She looked at Matthew curiously.
Matthew shrugged:
"Oh, no, I think they're not crazy enough."
"In the name of madness, what he does is actually very ordinary."
Mary Joa was slightly startled.
Then he smiled bitterly, shook his head and walked away.
"Tell your elf to get out of here!"
Watching Marie Joa disappear from the square, a warlock named Doros who was responsible for guarding this place scolded Matthew fiercely.
He is Marie Joa's adjutant and the nominal second in charge.
Doros was originally very dissatisfied with Matthew and Zangula. Now with the addition of Xiaoxiu, if it weren't for Hibbert's ball of light still standing next to him, he would probably have to settle the accounts with Matthew now.
.
"Just be Marigio's dog, you idiot!"
"Do you need me to make it more clear? It was not me but you who failed the mission. Weren't you the one responsible for guarding that digger? You actually had the nerve to bark when something like this happened. If I were Lady Marigio, I would
Let me peel off your skin first and let everyone see the consequences of doing things badly!"
Matthew showed no mercy.
He spat angrily at Doros, which made the latter's eyes burst, and the two sides almost came to blows.
But under the dissuasion of others.
The two still pretended to separate.
Matthew took the opportunity to lead Xiao Xiu to another place.
On the other side of Hibbert's light sphere, in the darkness of the square, there are few people here.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Xixi, but you have seen the current situation. Now is not the time to talk about the deeds of Mr. Crazy Miaozhen."
Facing the eager little stream.
Matthew rejected her again without any psychological barriers.
"I am now in the stronghold of the Natural Disaster Religion. Do you know what is behind the Natural Disaster Religion?"
Matthew moved to reason again.
Xiao Xixi nodded obediently:
"I know that behind the Calamity Cult is the great evil demon Trier. He is the clone of the God of Midnight. The God of Midnight is the one who does the best job of supporting forces in the world among Tianlun Palace. Recently, this organization seems to be shining again.
The God of Light and Knowledge joined in, and some gods with weak divine power surrounded them, making it very lively."
Matthew's expression changed slightly:
"Do you know the situation in Tianlun Palace very well?"
Xiaoxiu shook his head:
"I just often listen to Mr. Crazy Miaozhen talking to himself."
Matthew hurriedly said:
"Then do you know what the power of the Midnight God is?"
Xiao Xixi thought:
"It used to be a powerful god, but later on, in order to avoid the disaster in Tianlun Palace, many gods gave up part of their power. The God of Midnight also, but his situation seems to be a bit special. Mr. Crazy Miaozhen said that the God of Midnight
God's current state is between strong divine power and weak divine power, which may have something to do with his clone Trier."
"In short, all the gods in Tianlun Palace respect him. He is at least on the same level as the God of Radiance and Knowledge, the Lord of Storms and Oceans, and the God of War."
Matthew asked again:
"Did Lord Crazy Miaozhen ever say what the God of Midnight wants to do recently?"
Xiaoxiu said blankly:
"No, Mr. Crazy Miaozhen doesn't like the gods of Tianlun Palace. He always says that they are a bunch of pigs. Whatever the pigs want to do, let them do it. Why do you care so much?"
Her tone was extremely arrogant and her imitation was perfect.
That moment.
Matthew seemed to see Crazy Second Hand standing in front of him and saying these words himself.
His heart tightened.
Realizing that this was a sign that he was about to be contaminated by the crazy second hand, he hurriedly said:
"Thank you for the information. I have something to do now. Please come back."
"Send my regards to Lord Loa for me."
Xiaoxiuxi said unwillingly:
"Then you must listen to me next time."
Matthew vowed:
“Definitely next time!”
The stream reluctantly left.
Seeing the light on her body gradually dissipate, Matthew also breathed a sigh of relief.
He does not object to communicating with Crazy Miaozhen now.
Because he recently learned that the Crazy Second Hand is a special existence formed by Loa, the god of luck, swallowing the creation of dusk.
There is definitely a difference between him and ordinary dusk creations.
Otherwise, with the penetration level of Crazy Seconds against the Fairy Flower Pavilion, the fairies would have collectively gone crazy.
Now I can only say that I am sick, but it is not too serious.
It’s just that you have to be very careful when coming into contact with the crazy second hand.
Matthew has to find a way to prevent and block the other party's invisible contamination.
otherwise.
It’s better to always do it next time!
Send away the small stream.
Matthew turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this moment.
A gust of breeze blew over his shoulder. Matthew looked back and found that the stream stopped on his shoulder again.
"Why are you back again?"
Matthew asked.
"Ahem, it's me."
Hibbert's voice came from the goblin's mouth.
Matthew's expression changed instantly.
"What's going on with you?"
he asked quickly.
"As you can see, this is the magic of fairy transformation. I'm ashamed to say that I have very few spells. I only have some attainments in the field of transformation, so I can transform into various forms."
Hibbert explained:
"I thought the goblin just looked pretty good-looking, so I imitated it. What do you think?"
Matthew took a look:
"I really can't tell the difference."
Hibbert said proudly:
"My transformation skills can indeed be hidden from most people."
But soon his tone took on a hint of confusion:
"But I don't know why, there are still some deviations when I become a goblin, and this time the deviations are even bigger..."
Matthew stared at him fiercely, but he couldn't see any difference from the original Xiaoxiu, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Where's the deviation?"
Hibbert sighed:
"Normal goblins have no reproductive organs."
Matthew squinted and looked at a specific part:
"Um, you have it?"
Hibbert said:
"Not only one, but two pairs."
"I don't understand what's wrong."
"The field of transformation is really vast. I feel that I have only scratched the surface. Many times, transformation will have deviations of one kind or another, which makes people confused. I tried my best to think about it but I can't find a standard answer. Alas, Ma
Xiu, why don't you help me take a look?"
Matthew quickly stopped:
"Now is not the time to talk about this!"
"Why did you come here suddenly?"
Hibbert said dullly:
"I do not know!"
"I was sitting there, and then the ground collapsed, and then I ended up here."
Matthew glanced back.
But inside the light ball, Hibbert's figure was still diligently studying the diggers. The Scourge Cultists stared at him as if they were facing a formidable enemy, obviously not realizing that the real Hibbert had left the place where time stood still.
.
"Then what did you find on that digger?"
Matthew asked.
Hibbert said:
"There are obvious traces of transformation. The power of ashes was artificially injected into it, but this is not the key. I found traces of alliance spells on the corpse."
"This earth-burrowing insect was stimulated by a kind of magic in the natural realm and went crazy. Then the power of ash in his body overflowed, which led to his instant death."
Magic in the natural realm?
Matthew was slightly startled.
Could it be that in this small secret stronghold, in addition to himself and Zangula, there are also undercover agents from the Druid Order?
"I also discovered a secret. There are many pools next to the square, and the carriers of the power of ashes are deposited in the pools. I guess these Scourge Cultists plan to further transform the Diggers here."
"The life span of the burrowing insects transformed through this ritual will be very short, but they also have more powerful explosive power. The heads of these burrowing worms combined with the power of ashes are enough to destroy any protective barrier."
Hear this.
A word suddenly appeared in Matthew's mind——
Underground Temple!
"They want to use these burrowers to break through the druid's oak wall and protective barrier!"
Matthew made a quick judgment.
Hibbert nodded in agreement:
"I think so."
Matthew added:
"Now that you have figured out their purpose, you should retreat first."
Hibbert shook his head and said:
"No, I will just keep an eye on them here to see what bad things they can do. As long as they can't break my spell, I will follow them wherever they go!"
There is such an ancestor on the stall.
The members that Matthew brought into the Calamity Cult were really overwhelmed.
However, he still reminded:
"The Calamity Order also has capable people. Now that Mary Joa has left, you may face the projection of the Midnight God or similar existences. They may not be afraid of your spells."
Hibbert said calmly:
"Don't worry, I'm ready to escape. I just want to come over and say hello to you now."
"I'm afraid you might mistakenly think that I'm stupid and can't even notice you. In fact, I'm quite smart!"
Matthew smiled when he heard this.
Hibbert is indeed not stupid, he is just a little different from ordinary people.
He knew this already.
However, the opponent's magical power still shocked Matthew.
"Can your time-stopping spell last forever?"
he asks.
Hibbert nodded and said:
"As long as the damage you endure does not reach a limit, it can continue forever."
"And my light ball can move after it is turned on. Is there anything else in this stronghold that is very suspicious?"
"I'll go over and take a look later."
See that the other party has a firm attitude.
Matthew quickly explained the abnormality of the oak cage.
After that, the two made several secret agreements.
It didn't take long.
Matthew returned to the position where the Scourge Cultists were.
Zangula gave him a meaningful look.
After a while.
Marie Joa's flushed face could be heard coming from a small dark room. She straightened her rather messy hair and announced loudly:
"This mage won't be rampant for long. Our Lord will send angels to destroy him!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered.
But at this moment.
The ball of light that originally enveloped the Digger suddenly disappeared, and Hibbert himself also disappeared.
Everyone looked around nervously.
After a while.
The bright ball of light appeared again.
All living creatures within the area covered by the light ball were bounced away.
"Stay away from that box!"
Something was wrong with Marie Joa's expression.
However, no one can stop Hibbert who drives the time-stopping light ball.
He just came to the box in full view of everyone.
I didn't see Hibbert making any moves.
The oak boards outside the box collectively shattered, and large pieces of sawdust fell down.
Everyone took a closer look.
But what was inside was actually a huge crystal ball.
There are countless bubbles, large and small, suspended in the crystal ball.
The larger bubbles contain a stag, a girl, a vampire, a giant jellyfish and a goshawk!
Different from normal animal form.
The bodies of these creatures all present a subtle illusory state.
It's as if they are all spiritual beings.
"You're in trouble! Mage!"
Marigio yelled angrily.
The next second.
A dark light shot down from the dome and poured into the crystal ball.
In an instant.
The fallen vampire suddenly opened its scarlet eyes.
He stared coldly at everyone present.
He exuded a majesty that was indifferent to everything.
…
"Warning: You have noticed that an angel has taken over the position of the soul of nature "Vampire Mozon" through the reincarnation ceremony!
You realize that these unconscious souls of nature in front of you have become the medium for the reincarnation of the gods of Tianlun Palace!"
