My Magic Age

In fact, it takes a lot of magic power to maintain the invisibility of four people in the shadow state. Even if my magic recovery ability is five times faster than others, such continuous consumption can only keep me for a quarter of an hour at most. In the shadow state, our bodies are like ethereal black mist, but they will still be entangled with each other. We can walk slowly in this state, and we must reach the safe area as soon as possible.

Of course, if in this state, hiding in the shadow is completely invisible, if there is strong light shining on it, the shadow outline formed by our body can still be clearly displayed. I signaled everyone to leave the dungeon quickly, but the guard leader had no intention of leaving at all. He was going to use the burning wolf dung to smoke us out of the vent.

I don’t know how many people this bad idea will kill. Once the wolf smoke is lit in the dungeon, the entire two-story basement may not be able to stay. The thick smoke will squeeze out all the air, and then the choking smoke will follow the entire underground ventilation network to every corner of the basement. At that time, those who stay in the basement and dungeon and don't have time to get out will all be in danger of suffocation.

Su's wheelchair was left in the cell. I put her on my back and held her soft and round thighs with both hands. Her legs were broken at the knee. Sitting in a wheelchair for many years did not make her two big white legs have obvious signs of muscle atrophy. Holding them in my hands still felt very soft and very elastic. Her body was very light, and I didn't seem to feel the weight when I carried her on my back.

She quietly put her arms around my neck, her breath was like orchid, it was an indescribable feeling, I felt that Su in the shadow state was in a very good state, those shadow elements were like countless moths, rushing towards her body from all directions, every shadow element rushed into her body, she was like a magnet, attracting countless shadow elements in this dark space, her body was shaking constantly, as if she was cold all over.

I don't know what happened to her, she looked a little uncomfortable, there was a guard standing not far from here in the corridor, he was looking around carefully, although he couldn't see us hiding in the shadows at the moment. But I know that as long as we talk, our whereabouts will be exposed.

Originally, I wanted to rush through the layers of defense, reach the ground again, and slip out while the chaos in the manor, but Su had some problems, so I immediately changed my mind, I must find a safe place as soon as possible to get out of the shadow state, it seems that Su's situation is not very good.

When we were almost at the end of the dungeon and far enough away from the guard, I asked Su worriedly: "Su, what's wrong with you? Do you feel anything special now?"

Su was a little nervous. She raised her head behind me and looked around, then said to me carefully: "I don't feel anything special, but I suddenly found that my whole body became full of power, just like... like... praying!"

"Praying?" I asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Su answered me affirmatively, "It's like praying."

The essential difference between priest apprentices and magic apprentices is that magic apprentices can awaken the magic pool in their bodies and feel the power of the four elements. Priest apprentices recite sacred prayers all day long, gain the protection of the gods, and comprehend the power of the sacred elements possessed by the gods. So if magic apprentices use meditation to accumulate magic power, then priest apprentices use prayer to restore their consumed sacred power.

I don't understand why Su felt like praying after entering the shadow state. She must have felt that there was power reviving in her body.

Annie noticed that my face looked a little ugly, so she interrupted and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, the shadow state is two states that are completely opposite to the holy power. To be honest, some priests will feel a little uncomfortable in the shadow state, and even damage their holy power over time. I am worried that Su will feel a little uncomfortable!" I explained.

Su was a little sad, lying on my back, with his pointed chin against my shoulder and said a little disappointedly: "Jia, what if I tell you that I can't feel those holy powers anymore! I am a devout believer, but now I think I should be abandoned by the gods. I can't feel those divine powers. I haven't been able to use healing for a long time!"

"In the future, maybe I can't be a priest anymore. Will you look down on me?" Su was a little depressed, and I felt a little wet on my shoulders.

"How could it be? When we were good friends, you were not a priest apprentice, and I was not a magic apprentice, but we were already friends at that time. We were friends before, and we are friends now, and we will be friends in the future." I said to Su affirmatively.

We didn't go upstairs, although we could reach the basement by going upstairs, but Su's situation forced me to choose another safer way out, which was to enter the cave.

This is Ignaz's laboratory. Dozens of hell-type plants have been cultivated in the entire wide cave. Although only a few plants such as night charms and hell trees are planted in large quantities, there are still some plants in the laboratory. Black charred wood, Amanita muscaria, Amanita vine, golden branches, white frost Flowers and other plants from the hell world all grow in specific glass vessels. The laboratory even simulates the environment of a volcanic crater. Some warm sulfur gas spurts out from time to time into a crucible, and those black burnt The wood grows around the vent of the crucible.

As when we arrived, the entire laboratory was empty and very quiet. The potion master Ignatz, whose name we only heard but whose face was not seen, was not here. We bravely checked around and found that those big red-eyed bats were locked up. In a separately opened cave, the top of the cave, which is more than ten square meters, is densely packed with dozens of red-eyed bats, large and small. They seem to be afraid of the spider web at the entrance of the cave, and no bat dares to break through. Spider webs flew out.

The entire cave area appears to be very wide. There are many oval glass bottles placed in the flat area around it. In addition to some weird life embryos soaked in those glass bottles, there are also some biological specimens from the hell world. They are all He was soaked in a glass bottle and didn't seem to have any vital signs.

One question I'm still worried about is, where have the hell hounds bred in the cave gone?

"Where is this?" Annie asked, looking at the entire laboratory curiously.

On the contrary, Su looked more familiar. When his sister asked, he quickly replied: "This is the laboratory of Ignaz, the owner of the manor. He wants to cultivate plants from the hell world that can grow in the sun, but it seems that recently In the past few years, the most successful thing he has cultivated is the Night Magic Rose. As long as it is not exposed to the sun, it can basically survive. In addition, almost no hell-type plants can resist sunlight!"

"Su, have you been here?" Annie asked her.

"Well..." Su hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly. "He is a very paranoid scholar of magic potion. His experiments are blasphemous to the priests in the temple. A few days ago, Cindy and I were looking for a way to escape from here. , accidentally broke in here, and accidentally learned these secrets of his. "

Su lay on my back and was responsible for guiding the way, and led the three of us to a remote corner of the laboratory. We saw a black fog monster sealed in an electric cage, looking at us curiously. Something active, constantly moving around in the cage, trying to get our attention, it must be Thinking of us as its kind, this kind of low-level creature in the hell world is generally not very intelligent, but it is famous for its weirdness and rarity. This black mist monster is a master of lurking, if it is not trapped in an electric cage , usually it lurks in the darkness, and few people can catch it.

When Su turned around and looked over curiously, the black fog monster was trembling with fear.

At this time, my magic power was almost exhausted, so I canceled the shadow state, and the bodies of several people slowly emerged from the black mist. The black mist monster roared at us twice angrily, and its movements seemed to be trying to I was very angry. In fact, our audio was not in the same area at all, and I couldn't hear it.

Anne, Cindy, I, and I recovered from the shadow state, but Su was the only one who still maintained the shadow form. However, her shadow form was different from the one when she was invisible. She lay on my back, all over her body. It was all pitch black, and I could see many shadow elements surrounding her body.

There are many shadow elements floating around Su. Only magicians like me with super strong magic perception can see them. Others can only see that Su is still in the shadow state, and his whole body is trapped in darkness.

"Hahaha, it's really good..." The voice came from the direction of the dungeon entrance. The voice was a little hoarse and weak. We looked over after the voice and saw a magician wearing a devil's robe staggering down the steps. He The face is a bit slender , there is a paper-thin lip under the curved aquiline nose, the color of the lips is a little blue, and the deep and big eyes are full of bloodshot eyes, but at this time he seems a little excited, looking at it unblinkingly Su was actually very excited.

He is also surrounded by three strong hellhounds. These three hellhounds are much stronger than what I have seen before. Their bodies are all covered with blood, and although their blue eyes are filled with coldness, There was a bright light, but the whole body looked shaky, and he must have been seriously injured.

"Ignaz?" I asked Su behind me softly with a questioning tone.

"Yes!" Su's voice was trembling.

"It's a perfect shadow body, isn't it! I didn't expect that I made this legendary magic-forbidden medicine. It seems that the magic medicine formulas of the demons still have some uses!" He limped away. He walked to the side of the test bench and sat naturally on the chair in front of the test bench. He glanced at us like a master. He slowly took a blue test tube from the test bench and put the cork on it. Pull it out, tilt your head and drink the blue liquid in the test tube.

After a while, his pale and blue face became much rosier, and his figure was very tall, but a little thinner.

"Su, for you, having such a friend is really a lucky thing, but for your friends, having a friend like you is not so good." Ignaz's face suddenly turned cold. It was like there was a layer of ice hanging on it. At this time, I took out something like a bottle of red healing potion in my arms, but the red liquid was constantly churning up and down. I suddenly felt something about this liquid. It's very familiar, it seems to be... demon blood.

Before I could confirm, Anne on the side took a big step forward.

"Did you make my sister become like this?" Anne had already tasted some of the flavor in Ignaz's words. Although Ignaz did not say it clearly, it was enough to make Anne furious. She clenched her fists and stood up in front of everyone. She seemed to have tensed up her muscles, as if she was ready to take action at any time. As soon as she made such violent movements, some faint blood oozed out from the wound on her abdomen.

Anne's injury has healed a lot. After all, hydrotherapy is a very good healing spell. Although it is not as effective as the sacred 'healing spell' of the priests in the temple, the advantage of hydrotherapy is that it can stimulate the speed of healing near the wound. Within the next few hours, the wound New flesh will grow quickly. I treated Annie's abdominal wound promptly and effectively, and sutured her wound with cotton thread. This way, the pressure from the abdominal cavity would not completely affect the wound, and it would make her feel better. , at this moment, her slow walking is no longer a problem.

But she was obviously more curious about me! Yes, it is hard for anyone to accept that a neighbor boy who grew up watching this can almost lock himself in the attic and never go down from the attic. He is introverted and never wants to communicate with others. Now he is just Nearly four months after the awakening ceremony, the boy miraculously learned some magic and also had many survival skills, such as these first aid techniques.

Is it true that a trip to Xinliu Valley will change people so much? Anne thought in her mind.

However, there seemed to be something wrong with Su's body. Her body was trembling violently, and she escaped from the shadow form in a moment. She looked a little excited, and struggled to fall off my back. If there was still part below the knee, at this time She should be kneeling on the ground, shaking violently Shaking, breathing very quickly, he stretched out his hand towards Ignaz with a painful expression. His eyes had lost focus, and his expression was full of complex longing, as if Ignaz's hand was full of endless temptation: "Lord Ignatz, give me the potion quickly!"

"I think if you call me master, I will be more happy!" Ignaz said with a sinister sneer. When he spoke, his eyes stared at the few of us like poisonous snakes. Then This unexplainable smell showed the pride in his heart.

Su looked very painful. Her long white dress was spread out on the ground. She didn't care at all even if it was covered with muddy water. She stared at the red devil's blood obsessively and buried her head between her hands in humiliation. Shuangcun shook slightly, but Finally, he said in a low voice with a cry: "Master."

Anne, Cindy, I, and I were all stunned at this moment. Su crawled forward little by little on the ground, and her severed legs were quickly worn away by the hard stone slab, leaving a trail of blood.

"Su, you see, the shadow body I prepared with devil's blood and poppy flower juice is all prepared for you." Ignaz took out a delicate silver knife from his arms and threw it at Su In front of him, he continued to say in that devilish tone: "As long as you kill these three people in front of you, I will give you a taste of the delicious taste of this bottle of shadow body, that wonderful dream-like feeling. It will make you fascinated, come on, don’t hesitate, kill them!”

"I don't!" Su finally broke down and cried bitterly. It seemed that she was enduring great suffering in her heart.

And I finally understood why Su lost her sacred power. It was because she drank the devil's blood. This kind of degenerate water is in the opposite position to the holy water. It is something in the hell world that can deprive the drinker of his soul. In Xin In Willow Valley, countless goblins and goblins had taken demon blood and sold their souls in order to gain powerful power. It seemed that the reason Su could not use the Holy Prayer spell was because her soul was no longer pure.

But even though she was suffering like this, even though she had been abandoned by God like a fallen angel, she was still fighting against her inner demons and had not lost her last sanity.

Ignaz looked a little proud, raised his head and said to Anne: "You went through all the trouble to get here, don't you think about it! In fact, it's the person you plan to save who doesn't want to leave here at all, haha, but you still don't hesitate It’s funny just thinking about rushing in at all costs!”

The next moment, Su's entire body finally turned dark again, and he automatically entered the shadow form.

"Ah, it turns out that this is the 'Shadow Body'. What a perfect elemental form it is! Does it have infinite power? I also have a volume of 'Dark Prayer' here. Maybe you can try to learn it! Later, You are slowly telling me how it feels to enter the shadow form. Now, go and kill the friends around you. Don’t say no to me again. You know that my patience has never been high..."

Ignaz was still chattering endlessly, but suddenly, the pupils of his eyes suddenly became enlarged, and his face was full of fear. He howled to the sky at the highest pitch, as if he was about to burst his throat.

The next moment, a blood-colored hexagram appeared from under Su's body, slowly floating in the air like a spider web. Under Su's magic spell, it turned into the image of a vampire from the Undead Clan. What's more terrifying is that the vampire was holding the silver knife in his hand and instantly pounced on Ignaz. The whole vampire hugged Ignaz like a big bat, and while he was screaming in fear, he raised the silver knife in his hand and stabbed Ignaz's heart fiercely.

"Fear of Death" and "Vampire Embrace"

The names of these two shadow magic skills suddenly came to my mind, and I was thinking: Could this be the skill Su is using now? After the vampire image killed Ignaz with a single blow, it turned around and began to chase the three hellhounds. The giant hand of nothingness held a hellhound, and after a moment, the blood of the hellhound, which was covered with the fire of lava, completely dried up. The dog's corpse was thrown casually on the ground, and the other two hellhounds fled in panic...

Ignaz fell to the ground, and not much blood could flow out of his body. The bottle of forbidden magic potion of "Shadow Body" in his hand was also smashed to pieces, and the potion quickly seeped into the cracks in the stone. He looked up with a pale face, looking at Su in confusion, and asked her weakly: "You will die without the 'Dark Body', aren't you afraid of death?"

Su fell to the ground, looking at the empty bottle infatuatedly. When she heard Ignaz's question, she said without hesitation: "I'm not afraid!"

This was the last sentence Ignaz said to Su before closing his eyes: "Maybe there will be demon blood in the Green Empire, but that thing is definitely a rare magic material that is hard to come by. I don't think you can endure until the day when you find the demon blood. Haha, you have ruined your own life with your own hands. Cherish every second of the next time, while you still have a heartbeat..."
