Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes

Seeing this, Jom casually lifted the protective barrier left before, and the three left the hall of the ruins.

But just when they got close to the entrance of the cave, a gust of cold wind mixed with icy raindrops suddenly slapped on the magic protection naturally emanating from the surface of the three of them.

At this moment, the time in the real world is midnight.

Rumble rumble——

The night was full of thick clouds and heavy rain poured down, the sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and big icy raindrops fell.

Without the moonlight, in this field with no light source at all, the environment is almost so dark that you can't see your fingers. Only the lightning flashes from time to time, which will illuminate the empty and desolate wilderness of the island for a moment.

"I never had time to ask before, Anvis, have you found what you're looking for?"

Looking at this dark and desolate scene, the force field on Evan's body stretched out, like an umbrella, blocking the rainstorm above his head.

"I've found it, Brother Evan."

Beside him, Anweis nodded, and also used magic to part the rain curtain above his head.

"Then next, Anvis, can you help me find my guard?"

Turning his head, Evan looked at Anvis with burning eyes.

"Okay, but before that, let's go back to Rawan Rice temporarily to confirm the time when the black ship will enter the port next time."

Anvis nodded.

"It's too far away from the mainland, and the island is surrounded by the fog of death all year round. It's not realistic for us to cross the sea of ​​fog directly. It's best to follow the black ship back."

"The degree of danger on the island is somewhat unexpected, and, according to the information I have received, it seems that some great danger is about to come. After we find your guards, we will leave this island immediately."

In fact, even though the seal has been absorbed by him, Anweis is not sure whether the message recorded on the slate and the time mentioned in the pagan believer's note refer to that The existence in the Tao seal was broken.

Therefore, he decided to leave the island as soon as possible.

"But one thing, are you sure your guard is still alive?"

At the end, Anweis couldn't help looking at Evan with some doubts.

"No, at the last moment when we were recruited, I heard the words of those pagan believers, and they wanted to use my guard as a ritual sacrifice."

Evan shook his head, and his tone was a little thankful for some reason.

"...But isn't that just gone?"

Anweis was slightly taken aback, a little surprised by Evan's tone.

"No, Anvis. A ceremony that requires an eighth-level professional as a sacrifice may not be held so casually."

Evan shook his head.

"Besides, her life card is still there and has not been broken. We can use this to find her."

Speaking, Evan took out a nameplate made of ice crystal-like material from the ring, with a unique soul breath on it, and the surface was intact.

Fortunately for Evan, he found it from the black-robed priest who had usurped his identity. Among his previous belongings, his guard's life token was among them.

"Is that so?"

Anweisi glanced at the nameplate and nodded clearly.

"it is good--"

.....

along the way,

The three encountered many alienated monsters that were active at night.

Wild wolves with strange sarcoids on the side of their necks, strange deformed crows with densely packed dark yellow eyes, wild boars with black tentacles dancing on their backs, and some even more strange creatures that are even difficult to identify the original species...

But tonight, they looked particularly restless.

When they approached Rawan Rice from a distance, Anweis and others suddenly noticed that the situation in the town seemed to have undergone some unexpected changes.

Due to the disappearance of the Moon Shadow Seal, the power of the curse on the island began to thin out.

This led to more chain reactions, losing the suppression of the power of the curse, the strength of Rai's force field suddenly began to increase, and the range began to gradually extend outward.

By the time the three came within range of Rawan Rice, the rain had grown heavier.

Accompanied by the whistling hurricane and roaring lightning, the pouring rain formed waves of fog walls, violently attacking the three of them, and then bounced off the surface of the invisible force field weakly.

huh huh——

The torrential rain washed the deserted streets, and the roads were also submerged in the darkness. The surrounding houses were all closed with their doors and windows closed, and the interior was pitch black, as if they had been abandoned for a long time.

Relying on the lighting of the candlelight technique, the three of them walked through the stormy streets of the port city, heading towards the island tavern [Slumbering Siren].

...?

Walking, at a certain moment, Anweisi suddenly felt a faint feeling of palpitation and disobedience.

The environment...something is wrong.

At the same time, in his peripheral vision, with a flash of lightning, a dark corner of the streets of Hong Kong City suddenly twisted for a moment!

Anweis stopped suddenly and turned his head to look, but when the light of the lightning dimmed, there was nothing unusual there.

"What's wrong?"

Evan also looked at Anweis' gaze, but he didn't find anything, and asked with some doubts.

"Just now, was it distorted there?"

Anweis stared fixedly at the street corner and asked.

"Have it?"

Evan was taken aback, and couldn't help searching the corner of the street with his mental strength, but still found nothing.

"I haven't found anything either, Your Excellency Anvis."

Jom also shook his head, even he couldn't find anything abnormal.

"...Let's go faster."

Reminiscent of his palpitation just now and the custom of the islanders not wanting to go to the streets at night, Anvis frowned, and decided not to delve into it for the time being, but to go to the tavern as soon as possible.

Tavern, Sleeping Siren.

In the middle of the night, the hall of the tavern was empty, all the candles were extinguished, only the small and skinny bartender stood quietly behind the counter, like a disgusting dead sculpture.

The door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, accompanied by the soft white light of the candlelight technique, the cold gust mixed with raindrops whizzed in, and then was squeezed out by the tightly closed door.

"You guys, what's the matter?"

As if startled by the sudden light at the door, the thin bartender turned his head mechanically, with a dead pale face, and spoke in a slow and weird tone.

"Come and return the key to the house, and by the way, inquire about the departure time of the next boat to the mainland."

Somewhat unsuitable for the indoor atmosphere, Anweis casually rubbed out a ball of magical flames, and lit several candles on the wall of the tavern.

When the warm yellow candlelight illuminated the room, the bartender's face suddenly seemed to be more angry.

"The next trip, the ship to the mainland?"

The bartender repeated what Anweis said, but stopped talking, and just stared at the three of them with a strange look.

That look reminded Anweis of the homeless man who had disappeared.

Rumble——

There was a sudden thunderclap, and a flash of lightning pierced the night sky, brightening the room for a moment.

"No."

In the pale light of the lightning, the bartender spoke quietly.

"Outlanders who come from nowhere, we have never had any ships leading to the mainland—"
