The mage arrives

Gordon's plan was uncomplicated. ?. .

In "Ancient Era", the heart of the earth is not the kind of ability that can be used within a limited time period, but a special ability that consumes life points to activate.In the world of Telos, the heart of the earth of the dwarves also followed this setting.After using the Heart of the Earth once, it takes 72 hours to replenish the consumed life energy.

In the real world, since there is no data display such as blood bars, outsiders who don't know the secret of the dwarves think that the heart of the earth is limited by time, just like other common race special abilities. Can only be used once every 72 hours.

Although few people know the secret of the heart of the earth, for Gordon, such a secret can only be regarded as information that almost everyone in the game knows.

Since the heart of the earth is activated by consuming the user's life energy, even if the gray dwarf Travok has not fully recovered, as long as he partially uses the ability of the heart of the earth, it will not cause danger to his life.

Of course, in this way, it is impossible to destroy the walls of the golem factory with the incompletely activated Heart of the Earth ability alone, and other auxiliary means are needed.According to Gordon's calculations, after Travok weakened the wall structure with his incomplete Heart of the Earth ability, he would need an instant burst of huge energy equivalent to the seven-ring arcane spell to be able to break through on the wall of the Golem Factory. , break open a new exit.

Both Gordon and Jialina are five-ring mages. It is obviously very difficult to do this with their own strength.However, with the help of magic rituals, this goal can be easily achieved.

As we all know, although magic rituals are very useful, the preparation process is very complicated, not only requires a lot of materials, but also takes quite a long time.

After deliberation.It was decided that Jialina would perform the magic ceremony.This red-haired mage is from the famous Bokarios family in the Wilfast area.This is a family rich in mages, and has unique strengths in magic rituals.They can use some kind of secret method to shorten the preparation time of the magic ceremony.It takes several days to prepare for the magic ritual, which can be shortened to a few hours by this arcane method.

Gordon had already guessed that Galina had an extraordinary background, so even if the other party reported that she was from the Bocarios family, which was comparable to Freyton's Lannister family, he didn't make any fuss.Now that the gray dwarf captive and Jialina have taken on the responsibility of opening up new passages.The remaining thing is to buy enough time for these two people to complete the work smoothly.

When Jialina took out a pinch of purple magic crystal powder from her dimensional bag, and then drew the first rune required for the magic ceremony on the ground, the seven sinners, who had suffered a lot just after entering the golem factory, also had new action.

I saw this monster floating in midair, like a giant sea cucumber with festering joints, a circle of pale magic aura erupted from its body, and three skeleton hounds were summoned.

"Necromantic spell?" Akinhan's brows and eyes were tightly gathered together.

"It's nothing strange. That guy is a creature created by Nesser. It's normal to be able to use spells." Gordon looked normal.

When he met the monk Clivesi before, he learned a lot of information about the Seven Sins from him.In addition to using the power of the Seven Deadly Sins to manipulate intelligent creatures, the Seven Sins also use spells from the three schools of mind, necromancy, and evocation.

In terms of talent as a spellcaster alone, I am afraid that this artificially optimized monster is better than ordinary humans.

The intelligence of the Seven Sinners is very high, and Gordon estimates that it may exceed twenty.It suffered the first time.After being hit by the destruction ray of the Titan Golem, it didn't take long to find a countermeasure, much smarter than the group of adventurers.

And its method.Almost the same as Gordon, he also summoned creatures to go forward and explore to find a route that could avoid the destruction ray.

At this time, there was a straight-line distance of about 500 meters between Gordon and the others and the Seven Sins.This has already exceeded the casting distance of most spells, and the two archers beside Ajinhan obviously don't have the ability to attack enemies so far away.So to stop or delay the opponent's progress, we can only rely on Gordon.

Although his own spells cannot pose a threat to the Seven Sins, relying on his magic pet, he can greatly extend the attack range.

A translucent crow jumped out of the summoning circle in Gordon's palm.It flapped its wings.The wingtips draw two parallel arcs in the dim environment.They quickly flew towards the Seven Sinners.

"Arcane connection." Gordon opened his lips and whispered.

In the spiritual world, a double helix energy chain was between Gordon and his familiar in the blink of an eye.build up.

Now Gordon is not the same Wu Xia Amon he used to be, and his fighting methods are diversified. In many cases, he can solve the problems he faces without relying on the power of his magic pet.This time, he summoned his magic pet after a long absence, but he didn't feel any strangeness.

He calmly mobilized the mana in his mana pool, shaped it, and then sent it to his magic pet through the arcane connection.

The crystal crow let out a slightly ear-piercing cry, opened its beak, and poured out silver energy bullets like a storm, blasting towards the Seven Sinners.

The arcane connection can only be used three times a day. Of course, Gordon can't waste such limited opportunities on useless small spells. Once he makes a move, it is a missile storm that has been amplified by the spell enhancement feat.

This is already his strongest attack spell.

Faced with this overwhelming magical attack, the Seven Sinners did not dare to neglect. The four human faces growing on the huge tentacles showed panic at the same time, and then chanted the spell in unison.

On the monster, some of the remaining energy tentacles suddenly exploded automatically, turning into little golden lights, and then quickly gathered together to form a shield.

After the increase, the missile storm that could reimburse one combat team at a time was blocked by the energy shield of the Seven Sins.

Although the silver-white force field energy pried open many hexagonal gaps on the thick golden yellow, it couldn't hurt the Seven Sinners themselves.

Fortunately, at least because of Gordon's spell, the Seven Sins didn't have time to command its summoned skeleton hounds. These three undead creatures were dealt with by the archers around Akinham.

…………

An hour and eighteen minutes later.

The reason why Gordon remembers time so clearly is because under difficult circumstances, the passage of time will be extremely slow.Every time the second hand moves on the dial, it is painful.

A battle between spellcasters.The time spent is often very short.A successful counterspell, or finishing a spell just half a second faster than the opponent, can often make the difference between victory and defeat, life and death.

However, the battle between him and the Seven Sinners was not a mage battle in the traditional sense.And that man-made monster is not a mage in the usual sense.

It is not Gordon's wish to be caught in the quagmire of this protracted war.However, in order to buy time for Jialina who was preparing for the magic ceremony and prevent the Seven Sins from approaching, Gordon could only walk into the quagmire step by step.

The three arcane connection abilities between him and the familiar crow.Already used up.Although the three amplified missile storms broke through the shield defense of the seven sinners, and even injured the opponent.However, this little progress obviously cannot fundamentally change the situation of the battle.

And the coping methods of the Seven Sinners are not complicated.While it continued to summon creatures to explore the way, it continued to use evocation spells to attack Gordon and others (the purpose was mainly to interfere with Gordon and his party killing their own summoned creatures).

Although the distance of 500 meters is like a natural barrier to ordinary mages, it is not a problem for mages who have mastered the specialty of "magic distance".By consuming higher-level spell slots, spells have a longer range.This is the effect of this super magic feat.

Unfortunately, the Seven Sins have mastered this feat.

This kind of situation where he can only be beaten passively and cannot fight back makes Gordon quite helpless.But he couldn't run away yet, so he could only confront the Seven Sinners head-on.And it's so immortal, when the magic pet crow returned after using the arcane connection ability three times.The Seven Sins also made a counterattack that caught people off guard.

The human face that grew on its body, representing the sin of "gluttony", suddenly screamed.The sound waves formed by the high-frequency arcane energy condensed layer upon layer, attacking the crystal crow.

Although Gordon's magic pet flies very fast.Moreover, it was nimble and compact, but it couldn't escape the attack like a tsunami surge.

The moment the Crystal Crow was submerged by the arcane sound waves, it barely entered the range of its master's control, and was then taken back by Gordon, but it was still hit.

The injury was not serious, but it also caused a lot of trouble for Gordon.

As the master, Gordon instantly felt a crazy and extreme breath flow into his consciousness world through the magic pet, as if a voice said to him: "You are very hungry...you can't stand it... eat it! Eat everything!"

The dream-like magic sound was extremely bewitching, and it was with great difficulty that Gordon resisted this evil force powered by the most primitive desire in human nature.In addition to his own strong willpower, this sinful desire to eat gluttony was indirectly transmitted to Gordon through his magic pet.Hit a lot of discounts.It was much better than being hit directly by the tentacles of the Seven Sins.

Rao is so.Gordon also coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood as the price.

Then in the ensuing tug-of-war, he exhausted his own mana, drank the mana potion, finally activated the blood mage ability, and almost converted more than half of his life force into arcane power, and finally persisted more than an hour.

Whether in bed or on the battlefield, Gordon felt that his stamina as a mage was enough to surpass most people.

The energy in Gordon's body was exhausted, his whole body felt weak and dizzy, and his vision had begun to blur.The one who took over his duties at this time, to fend off the still relentless bombardment of the Seven, was the petite Ania.However, although the Ice Fairy Queen is a warlock proficient in ice attribute spells, she cannot compare with Gordon in terms of the breadth of spells.The Seven Sinners, who are proficient in three schools of spells, and also mastered many types of spell abilities, quickly made Ania clumsy.

At this time, the two archers in the team had almost used up all the arrows in the quiver.

The bones of those crushed undead summoned creatures spread all over the ground.Although Gordon and his party tried their best to stop them, the Seven Sins also used the summoned creatures to slowly find a way forward among the numerous destruction rays, approaching a distance of about 200 meters from Gordon and the others.On its body, those energy tentacles that were originally destroyed grew back again.And swinging hungrily and greedily.

Obviously, this monster doesn't just want to kill those humans, but wants to eat them, absorb life energy, and grow itself.

Fortunately, in this unfavorable situation, there is still some good news.

"My dear, are you alright?" Archingham cried.

There is a big age difference between the couple.It belongs to the standard pairing of an uncle and a girl, but the relationship is very good.Even at this critical juncture, when two people address each other, it's you and me that make people get goosebumps.

Jialina held up the staff in her hand: "Hurry up, my love!"

After finishing speaking, her staff slammed down heavily, and the magic circle that had been drawn on the ground suddenly emitted a brass-colored metallic light.The incense burns automatically, and the fruits and branches arranged in complicated ways turn into drops of light, which flow into the ocean current of the entire arcane art.

In an environment where the arcane energy is sharply enhanced.The candles placed around as ceremonial tributes also began to burn faster, and the flames flickered.

Seeing this scene, the gray dwarf muttered something and walked to Jialina's side.He knew exactly what would happen if he was caught by the Seven Sinners.So at this time, he had to do his best to help Gordon complete his plan and escape from here.He squatted down, and put his left hand lightly on the ground.In the slow and low mantra, the palms and fingers were all turned into rocks, united with the earth.

Under the action of the gray dwarf's Heart of the Earth ability, the ground under his feet, strengthened by the ancient Neisser's arcane technique, began to gradually soften, and the metal-like surface that was originally as bright as a mirror surface also began to reveal the color of the rock itself at this time.

"Humans, hurry up!" Travok yelled.

At this time, the top of Jialina's head.With a lot of magical power gathered by magical rituals.She's done the spell.

A huge palm made of pure magic power appeared out of thin air, with a brass-colored luster.

Galina raised her staff again.Give it a little shake and then a little bit down.

The magic giant grasped it into a fist, and slammed it down fiercely, immediately setting off billows of dust and a large number of flying stones.Although it hadn't reached the standard of shaking the earth, Gordon could still hear the huge noise.

"Galina has cleared the way, let's retreat!" A Jinhan looked happy, and he couldn't wait to get out of this tough tug-of-war and join his fiancée.

But it is not so easy to get out completely.

The Seven have apparently noticed the change of events.Seeing that the fat prey was about to slip away, it was naturally unwilling to reconcile and launched a frenzied counterattack.All of a sudden, overwhelming fireballs and lightning, as well as various arcane light beams that disrupt and manipulate the mind, all hit this side.

"Akinham, please."

In the face of the crisis, Gordon was unrestrained, and with a single sentence, he threw the responsibility for the end to the knight, and then he pulled Ania and Sigrid and ran to meet Galina.

It's not that Gordon doesn't show loyalty, but that it was part of the plan to let Ajinhan die.

As a thoughtful mage, how could he not consider this kind of thing.

The big round shield in the knight's hand made a great contribution at this time.Ajinhan raised his hand and threw his big round shield into the air.

Under the master's command, the round shield expanded instantly and became larger. Not only did it block most of the magic attacks of the Seven Sinners, but it even bounced back those various energy beams.

Thanks to the shield, which can be large or small, not only can resist, but can also bounce back spell attacks, the group of people escaped from the battlefield smoothly, and then got into the newly opened big holes in the ground.Gordon, who was at the end, took out the architect's staff and sealed the gap again.

Although the strength of the re-patched ground was much lower than before, after an hour of hard work, the Seven Sinners, who were also close to their limits, were unable to break through the rock wall in a short period of time, and it would take at least a day or two to recover.In this way, Gordon and his party can have enough time to get rid of the pursuit of the Seven Sins.

Seeing a group of people, especially the sorcerer who had injured him, escape from the golem factory and disappear from his sight, the Seven Sinners roared unwillingly, and all four faces showed distorted expressions of anger.

It also wants to stay in the Golem Factory for a while, to see if there is a chance to continue to follow the clues to catch up with Gordon and his party.But at this moment, a deep roar suddenly came from far above the head.

That voice seemed to ignore the barriers of distance and physical obstacles, and directly reached the depths of the mind of the Seven Sinners.This twisted man-made creature trembled all over, and its sections contracted sharply due to fear.

It hesitated for a moment, but the fear of that roar still prevailed in its heart, and hurriedly left the golem factory.Hiding in the dark...

Gordon, on the other hand, was in the process of descending.

Originally, according to common sense, Gordon should choose to go up, but now he does the opposite and continues to go down, getting farther and farther away from the top of the target mountain.But this is the decision he made after carefully recalling the map of the floating city.

Below the Titan Golem Factory is the Floating City Library designed and built by His Majesty the Elemental Emperor Asa Augustus himself.It is called "One Hundred Thousand Holy Scrolls".At its peak, 33 imperial arcanists who had reached the legendary realm, and more than 1000 high-level mages with seven rings or above, came to settle in the floating city in order to read books in the library.

The name "Hundred Thousand Holy Scrolls" is not an exaggeration or self-proclaimed, but a fact: there are indeed more than [-] copies in this great emperor's library, which can be seen in the minds of every mage. A magic book that can be called a Holy Scroll.

certainly.Now the library is probably empty and dilapidated.If Gordon can leave a few words of the quintessential knowledge of the magic empire in the past waiting to be discovered, it would be his luck.

The reason why Gordon wanted to go to this library was because there was a teleportation circle in the library.It leads directly to the bedroom of His Majesty the Elemental Emperor.If the teleportation circle can be repaired, it can save a lot of distance.

The wall between the Titan Golem Factory and the "Hundred Thousand Holy Scrolls" library is about three meters thick.After the weakening of the heart of the gray dwarf's ability.Coupled with Jialina's giant Bigger's high-fiving hand summoned by the magic ceremony, a path was easily opened.

The two mages blessed everyone with the Levitation Technique one by one, and then experienced a gentle descent process, and the feet of everyone stepped on the solid ground again.

While still in mid-air, Gordon could see the surrounding environment clearly with the help of the lighting technique.

The library, named "Hundred Thousand Holy Scrolls", was a huge circular building, bigger than Gordon remembered.The Lunar Opera House is proud of the federal government as a landmark.It will be twice as big.The [-]-meter-high walls are full of compartments for placing books.A whole wall is a huge bookshelf.Above the head, thousands of stone pedestals and stone tables are arranged in a neat radial ring shape. In the most central position, there is a huge circular pedestal with a dimly radiant crystal ball suspended above it.

Because the library tables and chairs are all fixed to the ground, even if they are turned upside down, they are firmly attached and do not fall with gravity.

This is the first time that Gordon has encountered such a building with almost intact facilities since he entered Vesula Mountain.

"It seems that we are lucky." Akinham grinned.

"I agree, at least I can take a rest with peace of mind." Gordon nodded.

But when everyone's feet stepped on the curved dome of the library, Gordon knew that he had made a mistake in his judgment just now.

This huge library seemed to have life, and it sensed the arrival of Gao Gao and his party.The dome below suddenly emitted bright and soft white light, gradually illuminating the entire interior of the building.

"There are no candles, no magic lamps, and the light is completely illuminated by the stone itself. This is the magic technology of the ancient Nether Empire!"

Before Jialina's admiration was over, a woman's indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

"All books in this library are forbidden to be taken out. In order to prevent theft, all space-related spells are forbidden. Readers, please be prepared..."

"what?"

Gordon and the others hadn't reacted, let alone had time to make preparations, when they saw a light blue halo suddenly bloom from the crystal ball placed on the most central stone seat above their heads.

Jingle bells...

There was a burst of noise in Gordon's ear, and then he was surprised to find that all the items in his dimension bag poured out of it like a fountain.

Not only him, but other people who hold dimensional bags have also encountered this situation.

For a time, all kinds of messy things were scattered all over the ground, and the number continued to increase. )
