Arcane Lord

Next, Shado accelerated the pace of the search. On the one hand, he wanted to find Iolum as soon as possible. On the other hand, he also wanted to see the unknown creature that he had not just encountered.

If there is only one sample, it is obviously not enough for research. If there are more, naturally more will be better.

But accidents or luck don't just happen. Xia Duo searched for nearly ten minutes and found nothing. At the same time, searching for nearly ten minutes also made him more and more worried about the situation here.

Originally, this was the core laboratory area of ​​the Austrian Law Federation. It was mainly provided to high-level members. It was regarded as a kind of welfare. In fact, the area was not large.

After Shado updated the senior arcanist information in the Arcane Federation, he was assigned one. However, out of convenience, he chose one closer to his residence, which happened to be outside the scope of influence of Iolum's death zone. Inside.

But others are not so good.

Shado had heard Brod mention it before, saying that when Iolum was cleaning up the laboratories within the influence of the Dead Zone, he did not expect that the influence of the Dead Zone would be so great.

This caused most of those laboratories to be abandoned after the establishment of the Dead Zone. It would be fine if they were facilities and equipment provided by the Alfa Federation. The key is that many of them were purchased by high-level members themselves.

This is also consistent with what Sha Duo saw in the Dead Zone before.

Now, the dead zone has evolved into a riot zone, and has overlapped with the etheric plane. Coupled with the previous demiplane accident, various unfavorable factors have been superimposed, making the area here expand by an unknown amount.

If not done properly, it will turn into a "cancer" that is difficult to remove!

And it is still a cancer at the headquarters of the Austrian Federation and in Severington!

Compared with how to deal with the area itself, the impact of this matter is more difficult to deal with!

…

While Shado continued to search, he was thinking about how Iolum would deal with this difficult alienated area.

Of course, he did not relax his vigilance. In addition to maintaining a high concentration of consciousness, various vigilance and detection spells were never interrupted.

As he approached a corner, Chateau could vaguely recognize that this was one of the seven laboratories for independent arctic fire device research, and it was headed by Luo Wei at the time.

Thinking of Luo Wei, Xia Duo couldn't help but frown secretly. Judging from his usual interactions, Luo Wei was not a villain who was greedy for life and afraid of death. If his guess was correct, Luo Wei should not have left this area.

"Where did it go?"

It is impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air. When he left, the alienation in this area was not as serious as it is now, and Brod continued to search.

If you can find it at that time, then everything is fine; if you can't find it -

Although it overlaps with the etheric plane, the state of the magic network here is still violent, and it can even directly interfere with the arcane fire in many cases.

That is to say, Xia Duo's current arcane fire is not affected because it is directly connected to the inner plane. If he is a senior arcanist, he may only be able to disconnect the arcane fire from the magic network and only use the reserved arcane energy to "sustain life". ".

As for storing arcane energy, Luo Wei doesn't have a portable space to "raise" like Xia Duo, and earns some in the laboratory from time to time. Luo Wei has always followed Iolum, and has no shortage of anything, and has no sense of "making money" at all. .

At least Xia Duo never saw Luo Wei stuffing the arcane crystals from the laboratory into his pocket.

"I hope you have brought enough arcane crystals!"

If he doesn't bring enough and encounters an accident, there's a high chance that Lowe's ending will be bad.

…

Xia Duo tried his best not to think about those bad things, and cheered up to continue searching. At this moment, a series of clearly audible footsteps came from the corner of the faintly visible corridor shrouded in etheric mist.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-

Hearing this voice, Xia Duo immediately became alert. The footsteps were somewhat familiar to him, unlike the vague and indistinguishable familiarity of the crystal bead just now. This time, he quickly matched it with many memories.

The footsteps sounded like Brod's, but they felt too light. The ether fog weakened Shado's perception, and his understanding of the ether fog was too little to restore the real footsteps ahead.

"Brod, is that you?" Sha Duo asked loudly.

The next moment, the steps stopped, and at the same time a familiar voice came over, "It's me, why are you here?"

"I'm looking for Luo Wei, have you found him?" Sha Duo continued to ask.

"He has gone out, let's go out too, it's very dangerous here!" Brod said as he continued to walk towards Sha Duo, and the tapping of footsteps sounded again.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo saw a familiar figure appear at the corner through the fog. It was Brod. Although his face was a little pale, he was fine overall.

"Broad, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Let's go out first. I don't want to stay here any longer."

Saying this, Brod had walked less than ten meters in front of Sha Duo, and the next moment, a long-awaited force field cage suddenly arrived.

While Brod was trapped in it, Shado finally took two steps forward without having to cover himself up, but did not get too close. He stared at "Brod" in the cage and said with a smile:

"Little thing! You want to lie to me? You're not even close to being good at it!"

The opponent's disguise was almost flawless. The only thing he failed to consider was that Xia Duo was not an ordinary person. In addition to the warning spell telling him that the target was not a human being, his instinct as a bloodline person also reminded him that the opponent was not a human being.

At least not a living person!

Although the Brod before him looks very similar, sounds very similar, and may have certain memories, compared to a real person, this guy has no breathing or heartbeat.

There is no special feeling that a living person brings to his bloodline.

Xia Duo remained vigilant and continued to ask: "Can you understand me? Tell me, what are you?"

"What are you doing? Don't let me go. It's very dangerous here. Let's talk about it after we get out!"

"Broad" had a panic expression on his face. If there were more details about sweating and heartbeat, it would be more like it. But if it's fake, it's fake. There's no way it can become real.

Tsk tsk tsk——

Xia Duo looked at the other person with interest. He suddenly thought that this guy could be the same thing as the twisted phantom he just met?

"Still acting? Then tell me, what is my name?"

"It's already this time, are you still obsessed with this? It's important to get out quickly, this place will be destroyed soon!"

"Broad" continued to avoid Sha Duo's questions, and the panic expression on his face became more and more realistic. No, it should be that he was involuntarily emitting "panic" mental fluctuations, which Sha Duo picked up.

Is there really a destruction event?

Xia Duo's heart tightened. He didn't want to waste any more time and was about to give it one last try. He took out the multi-faceted crystal bead he had obtained before from his portable space.

As soon as "Broad" saw the beads, his eyes immediately revealed a greedy and frightened look. Seeing this, Xia Duo immediately shouted: "Tell me! What is this?"
