111. Chapter 109 Broken Magic Crystal (not easy to divide into chapters, two chapters combined into one)
Chapter 109 Broken Magic Crystal (It’s hard to divide into chapters, so the two chapters are combined into one)
The red wizard Mo Kai fell down and said goodbye to this world. This was one of the few questions he could never find the answer to.
Kessell stayed motionless against the wall, barely able to stand with the support of the wall, trembling constantly. Finally, the confidence that put him in such a dangerous situation filled his heart again.
He is a big shot now, this is what Eldruck, the spotted wizard Danshiba, and the other wizards who came with him told him. When his master dies, he, Akal Kessell, will
Rewards can be obtained: a meditation room and an alchemy room, in the mage tower in Luskan.
"Is the matter done?" At the agreed place, in a dark alley, a strong man asked Kessell, who had just arrived.
Kessell nodded wistfully. "The red wizards of Luskan will never be able to cast spells again!" he declared loudly, hoping to please his co-conspirators.
"Keep your voice down, idiot!"
Hiding in the darkness of the alley, the spotted-clothed wizard Dandiba, a frail-looking man, spoke in his usual monotonous, lifeless tone. Dandiba was a man who rarely spoke, even when he was excited.
, his face never shows a trace of emotion. He always hides his face under the lowered brim of his hat. Although in this caravan that traveled more than 400 miles to reach ten towns on the border, Ben
The wizard Dandiba is the thinnest and most inconspicuous, but he is the one who scares Kessell most among all the wizards.
After confirming the death of the red mage Mo Kai, "Relax, my friend."
Eldruck gently put his hand on Kessell's tense shoulders and said, "When we return to our hometown, it will be the best time for you to officially become a member of the guild." He said.
Kessell said behind his back and winked at Dandiba.
Fascinated by the various benefits that his future identity would bring, Kessell couldn't help but feel dizzy. He would no longer be laughed at by the mage apprentices who were younger than him but higher in the guild hierarchy. Now they could respect him.
Because he surpassed those guys who had better grades than him in the apprenticeship stage in one go and obtained the lofty wizard status first.
He was excited about the power he would gain.
A street cat jumped over him and stared at him with wary eyes.
Kessell squinted, thinking that the wild cat was mocking him and thinking that he was not worthy of inheriting this powerful power.
"Why not?"
Kessell stretched out his hand and pointed at the cat with his fatal finger. He recited the spell to summon [Thunder Wave]. Seeing this strange sight, the nervous cat jumped away as fast as lightning, but there was no magic attack.
hit it, or even get close to it.
Kessell looked at his hissing fingertips and wondered where he had gone wrong.
But he was not too disappointed. His burnt nails were the strongest effect he had ever obtained by casting this spell. He was so stupid that even though he had obtained this spell for a month, he still had not learned how to cast it successfully.
"Thunder Wave."
A low spell sounded behind Kessell, and a powerful sound wave tore through the air, forming a shock wave that knocked Kessell against the wall. The violent impact caused Kessell to vomit blood. Before he could understand what was going on,
He fainted and passed away.
Eldruk withdrew his gesture of casting a spell and said sarcastically: "A waste who can't even cast [Thunder Wave] wants to be the master of a mage tower? What a wishful thinking."
The skinny spotted wizard Dandiba said lifelessly at the side: "Throw him off the cliff ten towns away, so as not to be discovered."
Eldruck nodded and used [Teleportation] to throw Kessell under the cliff.
Aldruk smiled and walked out of the alley and mounted his horse. He was able to accomplish his goal so easily. He had to thank the stupid apprentice. Without him, they would never have had the chance to defeat a seventh-ring mage so easily.
Beneath the dark cliff.
The chill on his cheeks gradually woke him up from unconsciousness. Naturally, he opened his eyes, but the scene he saw was so cruel.
He found that he was lying face down in the snow. Surrounded by towering mountains, the jagged peaks and the thick snow reminded him of where he was. They had left him at the spine of the world.
Akar Kessell tried to lift his painful head from the snowdrift. The sun was shining in the sky, but the cruel cold wind drove away all the warmth of the sun. What's more, it was still winter, and he
Wearing only a thin robe, he could resist the deadly cold wind.
They left him here to freeze to death in the snow.
Eldruk, the spotted wizard Dandiba, and others.
They never really wanted to give him the title of wizard.
"I was so stupid!" Kessell groaned. A sense of guilt welled up in his heart, and the image of the red wizard Mokai, the only person who truly respected him, kept emerging. He remembered the many happy experiences this wizard had given him.
Mokai once turned him into a bird so that he could experience the feeling of flying freely, and also turned him into a fish so that he could explore the wonders of the deep sea.
But now, he has buried it all with his own hands.
Kessell struggled to move in the snow. He didn't know why he was moving, because he had nowhere to go. Aldridge threw him in a bowl-shaped hole filled with snow, and his hands were already frozen.
Without any consciousness or even feeling the coldness of his body, it was impossible for him to escape.
He tried to call out the magic flame. He stretched his hands toward the sky and uttered a spell from his trembling mouth.
Nothing happened, not even a cigarette.
He had no choice but to keep moving. His legs were in severe pain, and he felt that several toes on his left foot had been broken off. But he did not dare to take off his boots to confirm whether it was true or false.
He began to circle the pothole again, following the footprints he had left before. Suddenly, he found that he had reached the center of the pothole. He did not know why, and in his almost insane state, he did not stop.
The idea of clarity. There was only a white patch in his eyes, a patch of frozen snow. Kessell felt himself fall down, the howling cold wind and icy snow sucking away the heat from his body.
He felt the bite of ice on his cheek again, feeling that life had come to an end. Then he suddenly felt warmth. It was almost imperceptible at first, but the warmth gradually increased steadily, and something was calling.
He was just below his body, buried in the snow. But even though it was blocked by layers of ice and snow, Kessell could still feel the warmth emanating from that thing.
He started digging. Even though he couldn't tell how deep he dug, he dug for his life. Suddenly, he dug into a hard object and felt its warmth. Frantically clearing the snow from it, he
Finally, he tried to pull out the thing. He didn't know what he saw, maybe he was unconscious. In his frozen hands, there was something as neatly cut as an ice cube.
.The warmth it radiated penetrated Kessell's body, making him feel reborn.
Kessell had no idea what was happening, and he didn't care at all. At least now, he had hope of living, and that was enough. He hugged the crystal block tightly to his chest and moved towards the pit.
He leaned against the stone wall on one side of the cave, looking for any place he could find where he could stay.
On a stone where the snow had melted due to the heat of the crystal, Kessell spent his first night at the Spine of the World. His pillow was the crystal, a mysterious crystal that emitted a fascinating purple light.
.
Akal Kessell slept peacefully, unaware of what was happening to him. He only knew and cared about the fact that he was still alive. But he would soon begin to accept the hints given by the crystal. He was very
Soon he will understand that he no longer has to be a lackey for the likes of Eldruck and Dandiba.
He will soon become Akhel Kessell, famous for his deeds, and all will kneel before him.
"Respect." He murmured in his sleep, his sleeping cheeks twisted and full of jealousy under the purple light.
Kessell woke up the next morning, a morning he thought he would never see again. The crystal protected him in the long night, not only preventing him from freezing to death. This morning, Kessell felt that he had changed.
Personally. Before that night, he simply wanted to live longer. But now he began to think about how he could live a better life. Survival was no longer a problem, and he felt full of strength in his body.
.
A white deer stood on the edge of the pothole.
"Venison," Kessell said to himself. He stretched out his index finger towards his prey, murmured a magic spell, and felt a surge of power pouring from his blood. A white light shot from his hand.
came out and hit his target accurately.
"Venison," he declared, and without thinking, he used his spiritual power to lift the deer from the far side and fly it in front of him. Not even his mentor, the red wizard Mo Kai, was able to perform such a teleportation
Spells. The greedy Kessell did not stop to think about why he had power far beyond his capabilities. Some mysterious power affected his mind.
Now he had food, and the warmth of the crystal in his hand. But the wizard should have a castle of his own, he reasoned. A place where he could study his dark secrets without being disturbed. He looked at the crystal in his hand, hoping
It could solve his problem, but he found an identical crystal next to the crystal.
As if given a hint from somewhere, Kessell understood the role he played in fulfilling his wish. He knew from the warmth and power flowing from the crystal that it was the original one, but the second crystal also aroused his interest.
It was shrouded in a powerful magic. He picked up the second crystal and put it in the center of the pit, standing it up in the snow.
"Ibosan da Abda!" Even he himself didn't know why, but he read out a few words slowly.
Kessell involuntarily stepped back because he felt the power in the crystal expand rapidly. It absorbed sunlight into its depths. The surroundings of the pit suddenly became dark, because the sunlight was absorbed by the crystal. Gradually
, the crystal began to emit flashes of light from within.
Then the piece of crystal actually started to get bigger.
Its bottom continued to widen, almost occupying the entire pit. For a while, Kessell even feared that he would be crushed against the stone wall. As the bottom changed, the top of the crystal gradually stretched toward the sky, seeming to match the content contained within it.
The power echoes. After the process is completed, it still maintains the same shape as the crystal, but is tens of millions of times larger.
A crystal mage tower - [Krisha Tillis]. Although I don't know why, Kessell just knows its name, just like he knows everything about [Shattered Crystal].
Yes, this crystal is called [Shattered Demon Crystal], and as if it came out of nothing, the information appeared in his mind.
"A powerful artifact"
Kessell looked at the purple crystal in his hand in fascination. He finally knew why he had such powerful magic power. Fortunately, he found an artifact that could grant the caster powerful magic power in a desperate situation.
【Broken Magic Crystal】.
Demiplane, Twilight Star.
Imric, who had defeated the black dragon, did not hesitate to use magic to harvest the life of the true dragon.
When the dazzling [Extremely Effective Lightning Beam] light in his hand penetrated the black dragon's scaly skull head, the undead army controlled by Hesan Nero Vitis also lost its leader. The few surviving undead creatures gathered in the copper
They were completely wiped out by the attack of the Furnace and Crystal Shard monsters.
Imric walked to the black dragon's lair. Dense flesh-like decay blocked the entrance. Imric raised a hand and chanted a spell in a low voice.
Second-level spell——[Battle Ram].
The spell with the same effect as the Ring of the Ram condensed a powerful force field attack, and the roaring force tore all the decay at the entrance of the cave.
Enduring the vomiting filthy stench, Imric found gems worth more than 10,000 gold coins and a spell book in the lair.
In the lair, there is a huge pentagonal diamond floating in mid-air. A complex magic circle is carved below it, and the magic circle continues to form an indestructible barrier.
"This is the Twilight Star." The Crystal Shard Monster coming from behind looked at the Silmarillion and said.
Imric looked at the beautiful diamond in front of him in fascination. He gently raised his hand and tried to touch it, but the barrier that prevented all objects from approaching also prevented him from touching it.
Seeing Imric's actions, Crystal Shard Monster said: "The essence of this enchantment is a small mysterious lock. Without the permission of the password, it cannot be lifted unless you use legendary magic to break it."
"Disab—Mistislok."
The Crystal Shard Monster read out the ancient Star Elf language. As the command was given correctly, the barrier of the [Twilight Star] stopped operating, and the beautiful Silmaril revealed her wonderful veil in front of everyone.
Imric stepped forward and touched the Silmaril, and countless information was passed into his mind.
Through this central control system, he can change any transmission point of the teleportation device and reach any place within [Kingdom Tianyu], but before that, he needs to arrive at the place where the black dragon last teleported.
Without the help of the central control system, the black dragon must cut off the link between the teleportation device and the central system. The body uses the locator provided by the teleportation device. Therefore, Imrik needs to go to the place where the black dragon went last time and retrieve the locator.
Rebind the central system.
From then on, he can teleport the locator to any location through the teleportation device in the central system, and reach the location of the locator from the demiplane.
"Icewind Dale?"
Imrik looked at the location marked in the central system and murmured to himself. This bitter cold place in the ice and snow was a place he had never been to.
