my age of magic

Chapter 1277 81. Shackles and Imprisonment of War

The house of Scholars Sean is located at No. 15, Hongsonglin Street, Second District.

When the magic caravan drove to the gate, it was just dawn, and at this time, most of the people in the imperial capital were still asleep. A dalmatian in the back garden of the yard across the street poked its head out from the fence and rushed He let out a low growl as he drove the carriage, as if he might rush out of the fence at any moment.

There was hardly a pedestrian on the street, and the dead branches of the sycamore trees on both sides of the street swayed slightly.

In the howling morning wind, two night watchmen drove a carriage to extinguish the street lamps one by one. This old horse seemed to have been completely familiar with this kind of life, and it walked and stopped under the street lamps without being driven. Sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage, the night watchman could easily unscrew the cover of the street lamp and turn off the street lamp inside.

Before the magic caravan stopped on the side of the street, I couldn't wait to open the door of the car and jumped out. I climbed up the stone steps of the door in three steps and slammed on the big iron door.

A sleepy guard in the porter's room at the gate opened the window and leaned out half of his body. His hair and beard hadn't been tidied yet, and he looked messy. There was a strong smell of alcohol in the porter's room. , he squinted at me.

The doorman is a man in his 40s with a huge beer belly. He noticed that I was wearing a magic robe, rubbed my red nose, and asked me, "Young Master Magician, who are you looking for?" ?”

I stood at the door and took off the badge of the Royal Academy of Magic on my chest, and showed it to him in my hand.

"I have something urgent to see Scholar Shaun. I am his student at the Royal Academy of Magic. My name is Ji Jia." I said to the gatekeeper.

The speed of the speech was a bit fast, so he had a little accent of El City. He didn't understand it at first, and after hesitating for a while, he finally understood what I said.

"Ah! It's you...Your Majesty the Mage Jijia, I've seen you coming. You came to see Mr. Scholar so early... Please wait a moment, I'll go see the housekeeper."

The guard in the gatehouse came out of the gatehouse wearing breeches and a linen shirt, quickly put on a soft sheepskin vest, said a few words to me through the fence of the big iron gate, and ran into the yard.

Katerina followed me closely. She has been watching the construction of the town in Trume for a while. This time, she saw that the elders of Bangalore were looking for me urgently. She followed me because she was worried about what happened to Xinliu Valley. It occurred to me that there was something wrong with the ice monument that sealed Sister Guoguo.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of the group of flying dragons in the ancient ruins in the wild swamp jungle, and sighed softly. This trip to the wild swamp may not be able to be delayed until after graduation from the Royal Academy of Magic.

The young housekeeper at Scholar Shaun's house didn't keep me waiting too long, she came out under the leadership of the porter guard, and led Katerina and me into a dining room on the first floor of Scholar Shaun's house. A maid served two cups of hot tea for Katerina and me. The housekeeper looked smart and capable, but she just had a straight face, as if she was wearing a mask that could not see any emotions. I read from her face Not showing any emotions.

"Mage Jijia, please wait a moment, the scholar will be here soon, if you need anything, please tell me." After finishing speaking, the housekeeper bowed slightly, turned around and took the woman to serve hot tea The maid walked into the adjacent kitchen.

The faint aroma of toasted bread came from the kitchen, and the strong aroma of honey and butter after preheating made me feel empty in my stomach.

Scholar Shaun didn't keep me waiting long. He appeared at the restaurant door wearing a loose magic robe, followed by an attendant. Perhaps because he had just woken up, the wrinkles on his face looked more wrinkled than usual. It looked even older.

"Scholar Xiaon!" I quickly stood up and greeted Scholar Xiaon.

Scholar Sean waved his hand to me casually: "Oh, you don't have to stand up and talk, Jijia, sit down, it's rare that you can have breakfast with me, come and try my baked white bread, it's very good."

He sat at the head of the table, and then told the housekeeper who appeared next to him: "Adriana, bring us some honey toast."

"Yes, my lord scholar." The housekeeper agreed.

Scholar Sean crossed his fingers on the dining table, turned to look at me and said, "Oh, okay! Now let me guess why you came to me suddenly..."

The housekeeper interrupted him with a plate of steaming white toast.

Scholar Xiao En saw the white bread on the plate, nodded slightly, and then said to me: "I heard that you are building a teleportation ship with that kid Dylan recently. If you encounter any trouble in this area, you should sit in the In the magic laboratory of the Astrologers Guild."

Scholar Xiao En motioned me to eat and said, "If it's a problem with inscriptions, you should go to Scholar Yerkes. If you can come to me, you must have encountered a problem with water magic."

"Scholar Xiao En, there is something wrong with that ice tablet." I said to him.

Scholar Xiao En didn't expect this to happen, and asked in surprise, "Oh? Let's hear it. Could it be that the seal has failed?"

I said, "That's not the case, but the situation is probably worse than the failure of the seal..."

So next, I described the situation I saw outside the underground stone chamber of Xinliu Valley to Scholar Xiao En.

Scholar Sean frowned slightly and listened carefully to my narration. He gently rubbed his forehead with his thumb, and fell into deep thought for a while.

Then he asked me a few more questions, and I answered them one by one.

Scholar Xiaon said to me: "Ji Jia, there is only one possibility for this situation, that is, the spirit of water element is inside the ice monument, and in an unconscious state, Ben completed the evolution to the body of ice element driven by instinct. , and when she fully evolves into an ice elemental spirit, her body will be integrated with the ice monument."

In fact, this is what worries me the most.

I nervously asked Scholar Xiaon: "What will happen in that case? Will she wake up?"

"Of course, its aptitude is not bad, and it has fully met the basic requirements for awakening." Scholar Xiao En held a piece of white bread in his hand, and was smearing strawberry jam on it with a knife. "We sealed it in the ice tablet at the beginning to prevent this water elemental body from awakening 'primary intelligence' and have independent consciousness before awakening the memory in the soul fragments, but now let's open it, when she becomes the ice elemental body After that, the Ice Monument cannot continue to restrict its growth, which means that it may awaken at any time."

I felt my eyes go dark, and the thing I was most worried about happened.

I asked Shaun scholar: "Is there any good way to prevent it from awakening?"

"To be honest...it's more difficult!" Scholar Xiaon hesitated for a moment, and explained to me: "You know, it is a unique water elemental spirit, and no water elemental spirit can be born in our in this world."

"In fact, these water elemental spirits have their own world, which is a world parallel to ours, where countless life forms in elemental forms live. This unconscious water elemental spirit exists in our world, and in turn If you look at it, it is like a baby appearing in the elemental world inexplicably, which is a very, very unusual thing."

"I know she is very important to you, but we have done everything we can, Ji Jia, let nature take its course!" Shaun Scholar said to me, and finally his voice was very low, and he also knew that I Don't want to hear those words.

I know what Scholar Xiaon said. Although this knowledge does not belong to the scope of magic courses, I have checked a lot of information about it in the library.

I gulped down the bread on the plate in front of me, then drank the tea in the cup, took a long breath, then stood up and said to Scholar Xiaon: "I originally wanted to delay some more time, if it really doesn't work If so, I'll go buy a boat ticket to Qiyan City right away, maybe we still have time."

After saying this, I was about to say goodbye to him, and then I was going to Airport Town to take the latest magic airship to Qiyan City...

But at this time, Scholar Xiao En asked me another question: "By the way... where did you find her?"

I turned and looked at him hesitantly.

Scholar Xiao En rubbed his hands vigorously, and said: "I mean she shouldn't appear in our world, but she has been following you unconsciously for so long, you must be in a different world." where to find her."

I recalled that night in El City in my mind. Montetroia actually found me again. He tried to catch me. He was worried that I would escape again and couldn't find me, so he took out the shackles of war and put us in prison. The spirits are closely linked.

But he didn't expect that El City belonged to my home court, and I found a helper, but killed him instead.

When I found the shackles of war on him... By the way, that's when I got the shackles of war from Montetroja, and found Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit sealed in the shackles of war , and the soul fragments in the body of the spirit of the water element. At that time, I realized that Sister Guoguo was not dead. Her soul was imprisoned in the spiritual prison of war shackles.

And it seems that when Sister Guoguo died, she just turned into a water element, so the spirit of water element without self-consciousness was born in the shackles of war, and the soul fragment of Sister Guoguo happened to be in the spirit of water element. in the body.

It's the shackles of war!
Maybe I should hide Sister Guoguo in the shackles of war, which may be able to restrain Sister Guoguo who has evolved into a spirit of ice element.

Scholar Xiao En saw me after I suddenly woke up.

"Find the answer?" He looked at me with a smile on his face.

I nodded heavily, and then I said goodbye to Scholar Sean, and took Katerina back to the dormitory of the Royal Academy of Magic.

At this time, there was still some time before the morning class, and I asked Katerina to stay in the dormitory, while I opened the portal of Xinliu Valley, and ran back to the stone room where the ice monument of Sister Guoguo was stored.

Unexpectedly, only a few hours later, the stone wall outside the stone room was once again covered with a thick layer of ice, and this time the ice layer was obviously enlarged, and the outer wall of the entire stone room was sealed by ice.

I used 'ice blast' to open a passage leading to the stone gate, which is almost one meter long.

When I pushed open the stone door, I happened to see a white figure floating on the ice tablet. Her face lost the luster of water, and she looked like a perfectly carved ice sculpture, with an expressionless face. The cold face... clearly looks like Sister Guoguo. Countless ice elements gather into her body from all around, and her figure seems to be constantly materializing.

From the thousands of ice swords on the surrounding stone walls, the ice element was stripped and injected into Sister Guoguo's body little by little, and those ice swords on the stone walls were shrinking little by little.

As if at this moment, I witnessed the birth of an ice elemental spirit, I rushed into the stone room.

The extremely cold air inside the stone chamber penetrates into the bone marrow, and it takes a lot of courage to take a step inside.

The ice elemental spirit floating above the ice monument also seemed to sense my approach, and the next moment, almost all the ice swords on the wall of the stone room pointed at me.

I gritted my teeth and walked directly to the ice elemental spirit without making any extra moves.

At this time, my body was almost frozen, covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost. At this time, I finally walked to the front of the ice monument, and then took out the shackles of war from the magic pocket, And inject a little mana into the shackles of war created by Thorium.

Immediately, a blue hexagram-shaped array slowly condensed out at the feet of the ice elemental spirit and above the ice monument. Sister Guoguo's ice elemental spirit looked at me hesitantly, just at the moment when she instinctively noticed the danger. For a moment, her body exuded an icy aura, and I almost lost all feeling in my hands and legs. At this moment, two phantom chains rushed out from the hexagram circle, tightly wrapping around Sister Guoguo's body. The ice elemental spirit quickly dragged it into the inner space of the war shackles just before it let out a cry.

The extremely cold atmosphere in the stone room began to subside slowly, and my body gradually regained consciousness.

……

Scholar Sean took me to two water magician salons during this period. I showed the 'Continuous Frost' magic rune board in one of the salons. Although these water magicians are still not interested in the new magic item of the refrigerator Interesting, but magicians are full of praise for the innovative magic rune of 'Continuous Frost'.

My original plan was to be able to mass-produce the freezer with the 'Continuous Frost' magic rune plate before the summer.

Of course, I also plan to make a magic wall lamp with low magic consumption, and asked Murray to order a large number of copper table lamps from the copperware shop. Handmade by a famous craftsman, the style is simple and exquisite, and the craftsmen in the copperware shop should not have too much problem in imitating it. The only sales people of these magic table lamps are also positioned on those little nobles who have little wealth.

As the war between the planes continued to heat up, a large number of black magic crystals poured into the Grimm Empire, causing a sharp depreciation of the magic spar, and the fragments of the magic spar became very flooded in the imperial capital. Shi became interested in magic items, and magic items are quietly entering thousands of households...
