Chapter 675 You Win
For a moment, which seemed like a few seconds, or maybe it was a few minutes, Kismet felt as if he was sealed inside the eye of the storm.
There was no light or sound anywhere.
I vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone ahead.
Maybe it was Lucy who was sucked in before, or maybe it was just his hallucination.
The corners of his mouth still maintained the upward arc that it had a second before being frozen. It seemed that he didn't care even if he was frozen in order to seal the eye of the wind.
But his fate did not end there.
Just before the ice lock was about to completely freeze Kismet's consciousness, cracks suddenly appeared on the rock-solid ice.
These cracks spread just around Kismet without touching the black hole in the center at all.
Then, strands of tangled white appeared on Kismet's hands, feet, torso, head, and every part of his body.
These thin strings are like the strings of a puppet, all over his body.
"What a pity, Miss Lucy." As the ice broke, Kismet's mouth curled up again. "Without the diary's permission, you can't kill me. Just like I can't kill myself."
Then the thin wire wrapped around his body suddenly tightened, without leaving any marks on his skin, but pulling his whole body out of the shattered ice little by little.
Fresh and cold air suddenly rushed into his chest and lungs, and also made Kismet's stagnant brain start working again.
He found himself floating in the air, moving quickly away from the old manor.
Then...
“Pah!”
The graceful Kismet fell ungracefully at Thor's feet.
After two seconds of silence, he got up from the ground and saw Thor standing next to him.
Thor didn't look at Kismet at this time, but said to Corey: "You can continue."
Corey stared at Thor's hands for a while before reactivating the ice lock array that had just been suspended for a few seconds.
Because Kismet had been rescued by Thor, the mirror he was holding naturally moved away from its original position.
However, the eye of the storm has been temporarily sealed, giving Corey a chance to pause and catch his breath.
While Thor was rescuing people, she had the mirrors for projection rearranged at the original center point.
Although the original magic circle is not powerful enough, it can still be used to strengthen the seal.
Kismet's face was still covered with dirt and grass seeds, and he just sat on the ground without getting up.
Thor was in no mood to care about him at this moment.
Just now, in order to save people, he used for the first time a sorcery he had researched based on the line of fate - Dawn Pulling, which he had never used in front of outsiders.
This witchcraft can currently only be used on himself and those close to him.
By pulling on each other's destiny lines, one can slightly influence the surrounding environment and find a direction that may lead to dawn in the darkness that represents death.
This witchcraft is very abstract. Not only can it only work on people who are closely related to Thor, but it can also only work in dangerous moments.
So after Thor developed this witchcraft, he never used it, and everything was just theoretical research.
This time, they were able to find the weakness in the ice and rescue Kismet without affecting the eye of the storm. It was probably because Kismet was extremely lucky that he was able to seize that glimmer of hope.
After casting this spell, Thor's mental strength almost immediately weakened. Now he could only stand still and could not do anything.
It was not until Herbert and Pearl worked together to press the frozen eye of the storm back into the ground that Thor recovered a little and turned to Kismet who was still sitting next to him.
"Were you sleepwalking just now?" Thor's voice sounded flat, but with a hint of rebuke. "I finally created a gap, but you were just standing there in a daze? Do you really want to be sealed with Lucy?"
Kismet looked back and suddenly began to laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
“Hahahahahahahahahaha…”
He laughed so hard that he fell backwards, as if he was having a seizure.
"Are you happy that you survived the robbery?"
"Haha... Phew, I'm just happy for the surprises you create time and time again." Kismet sat up immediately when he saw Pearl and Herbert flying over. "I thought you would use the power of the diary to save me, but now I find that's not entirely true. Of course I'm happy."
Thor blinked and didn't reply.
When Kismet was in crisis just now, the diary did not give any hint.
But the other party seemed certain that the diary or some other power could rescue him.
Saul had discovered early on that Kismet was connected to the diary, and now it seemed that the connection was even closer than he thought.
"Could it be that Kismet is a diary spirit or something like that?"
While thinking, Pearl and Herbert landed next to Thor at the same time.
Pearl looked at Kismet with a complicated expression, still somewhat surprised by his performance just now.
"No matter what, thank you for cooperating with us to seal the eye of the storm during the crisis just now."
Kismet still had a smile on his face, but it was not as exaggerated as before.
"I just know clearly that only by sealing the eye of the storm can I survive. Besides, I am also the representative of Sky City here."
"What were you laughing at just now?" Herbert's expression remained serious, his eyes wandering between Thor and Kismet, as if he was somewhat doubtful about their relationship.
"Isn't it worth having a good laugh when you survive an almost certain death?" Kismet gave a completely different answer from before.
"Hmph." Herbert snorted and turned to ask Thor, "What kind of witchcraft did you use when you shot the arrow and saved Kismet just now?"
Thor calmly replied, "I created this magic based on the Ice Locking Array."
Herbert was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He wanted to continue asking, but he heard Pearl say, "Well, now is not the time to relax. We are not sure whether the eye of the storm has been completely sealed. Everyone go back and have a good rest. I will let a few wizards and apprentices stay to observe whether the eye of the storm has any changes. If something unexpected happens, we will need to gather again."
Herbert was persuaded by Pearl, but the look he gave Saul was still disturbing.
Thor endured the pressure of being a third-level wizard and tried hard to let his emotional changes show on his face.
"Okay." Herbert took a step back. "Then everyone go back and rest, but remember to stay alert. Once you receive the signal, assemble as quickly as possible."
Afterwards, Herbert and Pearl called a group of people to come and check on the condition of the eye of the storm.
Kismet secretly ran away during this period, saying that he was afraid of being caught and killed again.
Because he had no chance to ask in detail, Thor still doesn't know why Kismet was stunned for a moment, which directly led to the disappearance of the chance to escape.
But now the most critical eye of the storm crisis has been resolved.
After the Eye of the Wind formation was taken over by someone, Corey took the initiative to come over.
"I will report Lucy's rebellion to the Stargate Council. If you hadn't reacted quickly this time, our ice lock array would have failed."
Thor did not modestly refuse, "It's not just Lucy's matter, but also Luke's. These two have close ties with the Stargate Council. If not handled properly, it may cause big trouble."
As a member of the Glowing Family, Corey is not worried about this.
"It doesn't matter. Luke died in the eye of the storm, and Lucy almost destroyed the seal because of personal grudges. These are facts. The Stargate Council will not make things difficult for you and me because of this."
After saying that, Corey lowered his head and remained silent for a moment.
Just when Thor was thinking about whether he could say goodbye and leave, she suddenly spoke with difficulty: "Can you...can you...can you tell me how you calculated the angle and multiple of the magic circle so quickly?"
"It's nothing. Just plug it into a fixed formula. Of course, this formula is difficult to derive."
"Formula?" Corey's eyes widened, and his round eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
After a while, she lowered her eyes, as if she had suffered a great shock.
"I'm still gloating over my own mapping formula, but you've already discovered the method of transformation and even worked out a unified formula..."
"...Uh, actually the formula..."
"You win."
"?"
"I was still hoping for the best before, but now it seems that you have already developed the Ice Locking Array. Don't worry, I am not an ignorant person. This time, the third-level selection task is... you won."
