026 Trials and Mutations

Facing the large crystal with a strange wooden stick wrapped inside, Lawrence suddenly found that he didn't know what to do next. But just as he stood in front of the crystal and thought about his next move, the stick seemed to feel

It started to vibrate crazily as if there were people around it, so much so that the whole crystal started to buzz.

Just when Lawrence was worried that the stick would rush out of the crystal, rays of light of various colors suddenly appeared on the ground, and then these rays of light turned into chains made of light, wrapping around the green crystal like a python.

The cane fixed it tightly in the crystal.

"Knowledge Church." Lawrence's attention was attracted by the blue chain among the chains rising from the ground, because there was a familiar feeling on the chain. And when he followed

When he followed the chain to the place where it emerged from the ground, he saw the holy symbol composed of a quill and parchment appearing on the magic circle on the ground.

After identifying the Holy Emblem of the Church of Knowledge on the ground, Lawrence moved his eyes to look at the locations where other chains had emerged. As a result, he found that there were traces of several other organizations next to the Holy Emblem of the Church of Knowledge, such as the Lord of the Morning.

The Church’s Holy Emblem of the Sun, or the emblem of the Witcher Guild with crossed swords from hundreds of years ago.

"It seems that this place has a very long history." Lawrence stared at the badges representing various organizations on the ground and suddenly had an ominous premonition. Although he didn't know what the stick sealed in the crystal was,

One thing is clear, that is, something that requires so many forces to seal it must be an extremely dangerous thing.

After seeing so many badges, Lawrence began to consider whether he should run away now. At this moment, the light on the Knowledge Church magic circle in front of him flashed.

"Hey, this is it?" Lawrence thought as he stretched out the little finger of his left hand and slowly approached the magic circle. Just when his fingertips touched the holy symbol made of blue light, a familiar voice exploded in his mind.

open.

"Hold on, Lawrence has already given us a warning outside." The voice of High Priest Arthur suddenly exploded in his mind, accompanied by many uncomfortable sounds. This made Lawrence's body involuntarily

He shivered, and as a result, his fingers were taken away from the magic circle during his body movements, and the voice disappeared from his mind.

"It seems - nothing is wrong." Lawrence checked his body briefly and found that he was not injured. After thinking for a moment, he touched the magic circle with his hand again.

The moment he came into contact with the magic circle, High Priest Arthur's voice rang in his mind again. Only this time, High Priest Arthur was shouting some encouraging words. From his words, Lawrence could tell that there was something going on behind the scenes.

It's that foreman Bubu.

"Damn, what should I do now?" Lawrence muttered in a low voice. After hearing the shouts of the fighting High Priest Arthur through the magic circle, he became a little impatient. After all, watching helplessly like this can't help.

It feels really bad.

"Lawrence, is that you?" As soon as he finished muttering, he heard Arthur's words in his mind, "Is it really you who is talking?"

"Yes, it's me." Lawrence said hurriedly. "Now I am located on the crystal island in the center of the ruins. In front of me is a wooden stick wrapped in green crystal. I just came into contact with that knowledge church by accident.

I contacted you after seeing the holy logo mark on the magic circle."

"Thank you to the God of Knowledge." High Priest Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Lawrence, listen to me now. The stick wrapped in the crystal in front of you is a powerful magic item, the Rod of Prosperity and Decay. It is also ours.

The cornerstone of this space that we are trapped in now. After a while, all of us will attack with all our strength, and then the crystal in front of you will disappear. As long as you find a way to affect the stability of that wooden stick, we will be able to break out."

"How should I affect the Rod of Glory and Decay?" Lawrence asked anxiously after hearing what Arthur said. "The Rod of Glory and Decay contains powerful magic, and I just threw all the enchanted bullets at it just to get in here.

It’s outside.”

"Just try shooting with ordinary bullets." Arthur warned, "If this method doesn't work, you should leave here and return to the ground. Anyway, you should have notified the reinforcements. I think we should be able to support it."

Until then. So just do it and don’t put too much psychological pressure on it.”

"I understand." Lawrence nodded slightly, "Give me some time to prepare."

"Okay, in three minutes we will attack the surrounding space with all our strength." High Priest Arthur said, "I wish you all the best."

After the call ended, Lawrence took a few steps back, resisting the nausea caused by contact with the magic circle, and then collected all the guns and lanterns left by the gunmen just now and checked them. Fortunately, these gunmen just now

They are all on alert, so all guns have been loaded with bullets in advance.

When he reloaded the revolver that he had just emptied, the green crystal wrapped in the Staff of Prosperity and Decay suddenly flashed and then shrank sharply. In just a few seconds, the crystal disappeared.

Lost in the air.

And at the same moment when the crystal disappeared, the chains composed of various colors of light that previously bound the crystal exploded at the same time, and finally only the Staff of Prosperity and Decay was left floating alone in the air.

The wooden stick, freed from all restraints, floated quietly in the air. Lawrence immediately raised his pistol and pointed it at the tree trunk. It was impossible for him to miss the target when shooting a fixed target at such a close range.

Unexpectedly, these bullets made a sound like a metal collision after hitting the Rod of Prosperity and Decay. Afterwards, the warheads deformed after colliding with the stick and flew everywhere like a goddess scattering flowers. Fortunately, Lawrence was shooting.

I had considered this situation before, so there was no stray ammunition flying towards his current location.

In less than a minute, Lawrence shot all the bullets in the firearms around him. But after putting down the empty revolver, he was shocked to find that the Staff of Prosperity and Decay was intact.

No, it can’t be said to be intact. Lawrence noticed that little by little unknown purple-black patches began to appear on the Rod of Prosperity and Death.

"This is -" Lawrence's pupils suddenly dilated, because he saw the expanding purple-black patches on the Rod of Prosperity and Death revealing the shape of scales one after another, making the stick look like a snake.

Snake! Seeing this, Lawrence suddenly remembered the sculpture in the fountain of his alma mater, Far Harbor Comprehensive University. Because he found that the wooden stick with purple and black spots was very similar to the demonized tree spirit on the sculpture, which was white back then.

The founder of the Eagle Federation, the demigod warrior George Adams, defeated the demonized tree spirit in Eagle Castle.

"Damn, now we are in big trouble." You must know that the demonized tree spirit back then was at the level of a demigod. If the Rod of Prosperity and Decay in front of him was related to the tree spirit back then, Lawrence didn't think he had any way to stop it before it recovered.

Escape smoothly.

"Now we can only fight." Thinking of this, Lawrence took a deep breath, and then played his last trump card.
