Super Dimensional Wizard

Latest website: Vai swallowed nervously, obviously he was also a little scared, but he still said: "Kael, you must not scare yourself."

Kael also stopped talking at this time, he was afraid that he would really become a crow.

Although he is just an apprentice and his inspiration is not as strong as that of a formal wizard, he still has a few "surprises" from time to time. And this kind of surprise, to put it bluntly, is the spirit of good but not bad.

Kael prayed silently in his heart: What he just said was just nonsense, don't make it effective, don't...

"Although Vai was a little untrue, at least what he said was correct." Seeing the two apprentices trembling together, Angel finally couldn't bear it and said, "There really is a branch of normal size, and it is of the same nature as that dog hole. In fact, it’s easier for us to discover the clues. But don’t underestimate the wizard’s ability.”

Angel didn't say this just to comfort them, it was indeed the case.

Even though they seemed unwary, they walked straight forward without any fear. But both Angel and the Black Earl were observing the details around them in their own way.

For example, the olfactory anchor point set by the Black Earl. In addition, Angel was also observing the direction of the magic patterns on the surrounding walls and ground.

Assuming that the dog hole is really large enough to look real, then the corresponding size must correspond to the corresponding complex magic pattern. Angel can completely determine the specific situation through the direction of the magic pattern, which is easier to judge than the current dog hole.

Angel: "Speaking of which, I really hope that there really is a dog hole as big as you mentioned, which can help us solve the mystery. Is it a human-controlled trap or... some kind of creature?"

Wood can become spiritual, and the stone on the wall can become spiritual. Isn't this a basic operation? Of course, you can think of it this way. To truly create a spirit object, you need the right time, place and people. Otherwise, there will not be so few spirits in the wizarding world.

Everyone else listened to Angel's words in the opposite direction. After all, who would expect to encounter unknown dangers during the adventure?

However, Angel really wanted to encounter a large "dog hole", and solving the puzzle was only second. What he wanted to know more was, what was the reason that allowed the "dog hole" to discover their existence?

You know, this is not the first time.

Although outsiders only regard Angel's main job as an alchemist, Angel's own ranking is mainly illusion and supplemented by alchemy.

In fact, Angel did this. As long as the power of nightmare is added to his illusion, it will be difficult for even Sanders to break through it at a glance. This means that Angel's illusion skills have far exceeded his own level. Even if you encounter a true knowledge level opponent, it is not difficult to temporarily control the opponent through illusion.

But this time, Angel encountered a series of failures in the illusion technique he thought he was best at.

When the dog hole appeared for the first time, Angel didn't pay attention because he didn't know the principle of the dog hole.

Later, I heard from the Black Earl that the dog hole will open when it encounters people, and it will close when there is no one. Although he didn't show anything at that time, he silently remembered it in his heart.

Until they entered the stinky ditch later, Angel also strengthened the concealment ability of the illusion under the guise of adding a few more layers of purification force field. Angel just took this precaution subconsciously, but he didn't expect to encounter a dog hole for the second time.

However, this time, under the enhanced illusion, Nagoudong still found them in the illusion.

This made Angel want to know very urgently, how did the dog hole sense them? The answer to this question might allow him to further his understanding of the art of nightmare. Even if it doesn't work, at least it can make up for the shortcomings of illusion.

It can be said that no matter what the answer is, it will be an essential improvement for Angel.

If he hadn't been the leader of this expedition, Angel might have gone over to study the dog cave right now. However, there is no rush in this matter. As long as the underground maze remains, he believes that he will definitely encounter the dog hole again...

Even if we really can't meet reality, isn't there still a nightmare world?

…

Angel suppressed his thoughts, took a deep breath, and returned to his "reliable leader" persona.

"Don't worry about the dog hole for the time being. Our goal this time is not a dog hole."

"Let's move on. If you don't go the wrong way, it shouldn't be too far from the prison ladder." Angel: "After all, Zhou said that the wooden spirit is a bit timid. It really ran here. , and won’t run too far.”

Because the monsters in the stinking ditch are much more frightening than the witch-eyed ghosts above.

Even if the wood spirit could rely on its talent of "playing dead" and pretend to be dead for several years without being discovered by monsters, Angel believed that even so, it would be impossible for it to stay in the smelly ditch for too long.

This place is filled with darkness, filth, filth, and unbearable stench. Even energy beings like Speed ​​Spirit have to return to the purification force field, not to mention the Wood Spirit who is born with a "pure aura"?

"This is the truth, but the premise is that we really didn't go the wrong way." Doakes muttered from the side.

Angel ignored Doakes. He would know if he was going the wrong way or not if he walked a little further. If there are a lot of monster traces nearby, you can basically confirm that you are going the wrong way. vice versa.

Get back on the road.

But this time, the atmosphere was much quieter.

It wasn't until Angel projected a familiar pattern onto the light screen that the stagnant atmosphere began to dissolve amid doubts.

This pattern is slightly broken, and even the color has almost faded, but the general outline can still be seen.

A black hollow circle is evenly divided into two halves by a diagonal line, and in each of these two semicircles, there is a silhouette of a figure.

The specific faces are unclear, but we can tell that the left semicircle is a man wearing a hat, and the right semicircle is a long-haired woman.

If this is the first time they see this pattern, everyone will definitely be confused. However, not long ago, they saw exactly the same pattern, and the pattern was still complete and clear.

"Is this... the pattern of the Mirror Demon?" Doakes frowned: "Where did you find it?"

Angel first pointed in a direction, but because it was dark and dirty outside, no one used their mental energy to find out. Therefore, in the end, Angel directly used the phantom light screen to clearly simulate the place where the pattern was found.

The first picture that appeared was a dilapidated and mottled wall. This was normal in a smelly ditch. It was basically corroded by the dark and dirty air. In the middle of the wall, there was a raised platform, and on the platform lay a skinny corpse like dry wax. And the pattern of the Mirror Demon God was engraved on the dry skin of this corpse.

"Is this a wax seal?" Earl Black asked doubtfully.

Angel nodded: "Well, the wax used for sealing after death is of a very high grade. Judging from the patterns on his body, this wax corpse may be one of the demon cultists back then."

Doakes asked in surprise: "If this is true, then this is a wax corpse that is close to ten thousand years old?"

Angel: "Because the quality of the wax is very good, I can't rule out that it can be sealed with wax for thousands of years. But for the specific situation, I haven't directly touched the wax corpse, so I still can't judge accurately."

After a pause, Angel asked, "Want to go over and take a look?"

Vai: "Is...is it dangerous?"

Angel shook his head: "I don't know, but the message from Ermi said that no living thing was detected. However, the position of the corpse is quite strange. The high platform protruding in the middle of the wall... It seems to be specially protruding to hold this wax corpse."

Precisely because the location of the wax corpse was a bit strange, Angel did not take everyone there directly. Instead, he simulated it with an illusion first and listened to everyone's opinions.

"Since there is something weird, then, let's not go there, right? Anyway, I have seen the condition of the corpse and know that he may be a follower of the Mirror Demon God, so that's enough." Vai said timidly.

Angel did not comment immediately, but looked at the others, to be precise, at Doakes and the Black Earl.

Doakes rarely expressed an opinion, but the Black Earl said after a moment of silence: "Let's go over and have a look. My previous inspiration has not changed. At least there is no danger that can threaten us."

After finishing speaking, the Black Earl knocked Angel on the shoulder with a stone slab, as if to signal him to step forward quickly.

However, Angel knew very well. The Black Earl was not only urging him to come forward, but also hinting that there was indeed no danger here.

As for why the Black Earl is so certain, it is estimated that it is also a prophecy?

Angel didn't care whether the previous prophecy was still working, or the Black Earl had released another prophecy. Since the Black Earl said there was no danger, there was no harm in going to take a look.

As soon as the Black Earl spoke, Vai, who was timid before, could only change his words. Angel also wanted to go, and more than half of the people agreed. Seeing that the situation had changed, Doakes and Kael could only nod and agreed to the proposal.

The wax corpse was actually not far from them, only about thirty meters away. However, because it was close to the wall, and there was a sewage ditch under the wall, Angel could still vaguely smell the outside world even if he had two layers of purification force fields. The stench.

Although it is possible to stack a third layer of purification force field, this may cause the illusion of light-dark conversion on the outer wall to collapse. In the end, Angel found a way to center it and let Speed ​​Spirit drive all the smell that came in to the end, and then Isolate a small space through the wind barrier.

Because the smell was not very strong, Suling did not stop working.

This made everyone...or rather, Vai and Earl Black breathe a long sigh of relief.

Without the smell interference, and Angel increasing the depth of the illusion, everyone could directly use their mental power to investigate the situation of the wax corpse.

After a while, Angel lowered the depth of the illusion again. While maintaining the height, he also wanted to leave space for the speed spirit behind him. This made Angel a little worried. As the main body, Ermi would be unable to bear it. Therefore, after seeing that everyone was observing the same thing, he shrunk the illusion.

After shrinking the illusion, Angel was about to ask everyone about their findings, but before he could ask, the Black Earl spoke first.

"It is basically certain that the wax corpse was from ten thousand years ago, and it should have reached the level of a formal wizard before death. The wax seal was made by someone else after death, perhaps other demon believers. The patterns on his body were there before he was alive. So there is no doubt that he is a demon believer." The Black Earl paused: "Other than that, there is no other discovery."

Angel looked at the others, including Doakes, and basically shook his head. The information they found either overlapped with the Black Earl, or there was no information at all.

After making sure that no one else had discovered anything, Angel then spoke and added: "I did not focus on the wax corpse, but on the protruding platform. I thought that the platform was the native material on the wall. Yes, because the magic pattern on it is smooth with other magic patterns around it."

"But after careful observation, I noticed that the blood ink used in the magic patterns on the platform is slightly different from other magic patterns. The color is not darker, but darker gray. In this regard, if Lord Black Earl just used If you have a good sense of smell, you should be able to smell the difference in the taste of blood ink."

The Black Earl didn't say anything. He didn't use his sense of smell just now. The main reason was that his sense of smell was too sensitive. Even if Su Ling dispersed the infiltrated smell to one side, he could still smell it clearly as long as he checked his sense of smell.

"Through the difference in blood and ink, I can confirm that this platform is not native. It was built by a latecomer, and the other party also knows magic patterns very well."

Doakes had a look of suspicion on his face: "Who would be so bored as to build a platform to put corpses on?"

Angel: "I didn't say that the purpose of building the platform was to place corpses. However, your guess is most likely correct."

"As for why a high-altitude platform was built, maybe it's because the identity of the corpse is familiar to the other party, and he couldn't bear to see him exposed on the ground, corroded by filth, and eaten by monsters."

Doakes: "If you want to build a platform, why don't you just leave with the body?"

Angel shrugged: "I don't know about that. Maybe the construction platform exists and it might not have left the underground maze."

Doakes keenly noticed that Angel did not mention the builder as a "person" this time, but the "existence" of the construction platform, and directly said that the other party may not have left.

This is almost no longer a hint, but a clear indication that the person who built the platform is most likely an old monster that has lived for thousands of years, knows alchemy, can travel around the underground labyrinth, and often comes to the prison ladder. ?

Doakes: "So, the person who built the platform knows the Demon God Cultist?"

Angel: "You don't necessarily know the demon cultist, but you know the person. For example, you know Angel the alchemist, but you don't know Angel the illusion wizard."

Man himself is multi-faceted, but he often only shows one side. But some people are different. They are more inclined to play different identities in different aspects. The Wax Corpse may be the latter. His identity may be a jailer at the Prison Staircase, or another famous person in Naraku City, but at the same time, he is also a believer of the Mirror Demon God.

Of course, we can't be completely sure. Maybe he is also a spy planted by other organizations in the Mirror Demon's sect.

So, you can’t just look at one side.

That being may be acquainted with the Demon God Cultist, or may not know the identity of the Wax Corpse Demon God Cultist.

The specific answer can only be known from the mouth of that being. However, what Angel hopes more is that it is best for them not to encounter that existence.

Angel: "If we don't find anything else, let's leave here first. In other words, if any of you are interested in the wax corpse, you can take it away together. The wax seal also seals most of the energy. The energy of the search is lost. It’s not serious, it should be quite valuable.”

Angel's words were mainly addressed to Doakes. Vai and Kael, they obviously disliked the wax corpse, and they knew without asking that they couldn't take a corpse with them.

However, Doakes also declined this tempting offer. If Angel hadn't hinted that the wax corpse might be related to that being, Doakes might really have taken the wax corpse away.

But they might come face to face with that being soon. In this case, he might as well not go looking for trouble.

Since Doakes also refused, Angel did not hesitate and motioned for everyone to move on.

The Demon Cultists all showed up here, and Angel had always guessed that the target of the Demon Cultists' attack was the Prison Staircase. Therefore, he firmly believed that he had not taken the wrong path, and the Prison Ladder should not be far away.

With enthusiasm, everyone quickly left the platform and disappeared into the darkness.

However, Angel did not notice that not long after everyone left, a green light suddenly flashed on the wax corpse on the platform.

The place where the green light emitted was the pattern on the skin of the wax corpse that seemed to be the Demon God of Mirrors.

…

At the same time, in a hidden dark space in this underground maze.

A joking voice sounded: "Adnis, who only likes to sleep well, why don't you come over and take a look, what did I find?"

After a period of silence, a slightly lazy female voice sounded: "I'm just a descendant of Noah, and my blood is so weak. I probably don't even have the qualifications to step here. I don't know what you are excited about?"

Over the years, many members of the Noah family have come to explore the underground labyrinth, but in the end no one has made it here. Therefore, Adanis no longer has any expectations for these descendants of Noah with thin blood.

"Right now, I want to see Naraku return more than the descendants of Noah."

"Naraku is back, Naraku is back, everyone is saying this. But can he really come back?" The joking voice in front suddenly became deeper.

"Who knows, look for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. But those obsessives always say that it is really possible." The lazy female voice paused: "Okay, I will continue to practice, Naraku didn't Please stop making any noise until you return."

"Are you practicing? You are just sleeping!"

"I once met a spirit, and she told me that you can practice in dreams. Anyway, I have time, so I am practicing it now."

"The spirit is deceiving you."

"It doesn't matter. Even if it's a lie, I still like the feeling of practicing."

"To put it bluntly, you just like to sleep... After you go to sleep, I will be lonely, and there will be no one to talk to me."

"Shut up, if you talk again I'll hit you. Besides, I don't want to talk to someone with an open mouth!"

After speaking, after a moment of aggrieved murmurs, silence returned to the dark space again.

A long, long silence.
