Chapter 121: Spiritual Palace
Before leaving Nasir Town, Byrne checked the barrier spell protecting the town.
Viscount Best once gave him a bag of black stones, which were actually "barrier symbols" made through alchemy.
He has buried barrier markers around the town, and they can be activated by reciting the spell on the stone.
When activated, they will generate a barrier spell called "Dark Mirror", which will continuously consume the magic power in the stone. At the same time, strange black mirrors will appear at various selectable locations within the barrier.
In principle, it is a simple teleportation array that carries the power of curse.
The activator can allow anyone to enter and exit the black mirror at will, and use it to travel to various locations in the town. Enemies within the range of the barrier will be constantly suppressed and weakened by the curse power of the black mirror.
Byrne was very grateful to Viscount Best. The barrier spell "Dark Mirror" in front of him was not an ordinary item, but a second-level spell barrier that ordinary baron families could not afford.
Although he knew that Viscount Best must have ulterior motives, he still couldn't help but feel grateful.
My personality is such that I am too easily influenced by the "emotional card".
"Very good. The barrier can still be activated at any time. As long as we stay within its range, the Fisher family can even deal with extraordinary people at the middle level of qualitative change."
The church split and the spirit world appeared. As a man well-versed in history, he knew that the collapse of the old order was only a matter of time and the whole world would become more and more chaotic.
The Fisher family is still extremely weak, and the time left for them to become stronger is getting shorter and shorter.
——
The village of Urd is a barren place, and the most noteworthy thing is the jungle to its north.
This jungle itself is the edge of the vast jungle north of Nasir, and grows a kind of flower called "Night Orchid Crystal" that is completely transparent during the day and invisible to human eyes, and only emits a light blue light at night.
It is a second-level extraordinary material, and it brings stable returns every year.
In addition, there will be mysterious creatures attracted by the scent of "Night Orchid Crystal", and occasionally among the mysterious creatures attracted there will even be magical beasts of a lower level that have undergone a qualitative transformation.
That is to say, it can stably produce level 2 extraordinary materials every year, and occasionally level 3 extraordinary materials, which are quite valuable.
The Case family even gradually perished in the fight for resources in this jungle.
Byrne and Chris hid in the jungle, silently waiting for Baron Leander to bring his men over.
"To be honest, the excuse he made up is quite plausible. After all, the strange smell of Night Orchid Crystal occasionally attracts mysterious creatures."
"But there are still loopholes in his words. I have read a book about mysterious creatures, which said that the gray-horned deer is actually a pure carnivore and does not eat plants."
After Byrne finished speaking, Chris did not respond, but just listened silently.
Suddenly, Chris squatted down and carefully picked up a light green hair from the ground.
It almost blended in with the weeds on the ground, making it very difficult to be found, but Chris had good insight and still pulled the hair out.
“…”
He stared at the hair for a long time, shook his head, and then handed it to Byrne.
"Chris, do you think this is the hair of some mysterious creature? Or someone else?"
After Byrne took the light green hair, light blue circles appeared in his eyes, and he used the "deconstruction perspective" to decipher its specific composition.
The result made him stunned for a while, and a scene that he had not thought about for a long time emerged in his mind.
The elf had long light green hair like a flowing waterfall, bright eyes, and was so beautiful that she was otherworldly.
"It's hair that belongs to an emerald elf. It looks like there are elves around here."
Byrne was silent for a while, then said:
"I think you've heard about it, Chris. There are rumors that elves often appear in the Four Towns, and... I actually saw her when I was young."
He said seriously: "I'm not sure if the elf has any malicious intentions, but if you, Chris, judge that she is hostile, you must kill her immediately!"
The Emerald Elves who have been active alone in the East Coast Province for many years are not to be trifled with, especially in the jungle that the Emerald Elves love. It would be very troublesome if the other party is hostile.
Byrne knew deep down the importance of taking the initiative. As long as the elf showed the slightest hostility, they had to act immediately.
Finally, Baron Leander arrived in the jungle with two blood knights and dozens of guards.
He seemed to know where the target was and rushed straight into the depths of the jungle.
Chris followed Byrne from a distance of several hundred meters using the "tracking senses". While moving, Chris discovered another light green hair with an expressionless face.
"It seems that the Emerald Elf is indeed nearby." Byrne nodded, becoming more certain of his judgment.
They kept following the breath lines and footsteps observed by the "tracking senses", but finally found that those people were resting near a river.
Chris soon discovered that something was wrong. Not everyone was motionless.
Baron Leander's subordinates waited by the river, while he disappeared alone and continued to move to another direction.
"They separated," Chris said calmly.
Byrne nodded slightly, made a judgment in his mind, and said:
"It seems that hunting mysterious creatures is indeed a cover. He even wants to avoid his own people. He must be doing something very secret and important."
He looked at Chris calmly and said:
"Chris, identify Baron Leander's scent and traces and continue tracking him. As for the others, don't worry about them. They know nothing at all."
Chris nodded, carefully distinguishing the unique aura of Baron Leander.
Afterwards, the two of them bypassed the people waiting by the river and continued to move forward following Leander's traces. Finally, they even came to the edge of the jungle and were about to enter the vast jungle.
Finally, Byrne and Chris stopped in front of a cave.
There are a lot of green vegetation growing around it, but there is a strange atmosphere inside. Looking inside from the outside, no light or shadow can be seen at all. It is like a horrible cave that is completely isolated from the real world.
"He went in," Chris said calmly.
He frowned and continued, "A very strange power, the aura disappeared, some kind of mystery..."
In fact, Byrne felt it naturally without Chris saying anything.
He could clearly feel the strong vibrations of the spirituality.
Since stepping onto the third step, his inspiration has responded more and more clearly to various mysterious forces. Byrne feels that the stronger the Sequence Transcendent's strength is, the stronger the reaction to various mysterious forces will be.
So, what exactly is in the cave that could cause such strong spiritual vibrations?
Byrne thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Don't act rashly, Chris. Let me search."
He calmly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him. Vaporized spiritual power appeared out of thin air, condensed, and gathered into a mysterious being with the exact same appearance and figure as Byrne.
"substitute".
Byrne drove his stand-in to the cave that exuded a strange atmosphere, and at the same time switched his vision to the "stand-in".
The "stand-in" Byrne walked into the dark and lightless cave step by step with an expressionless face, as if he had stepped into another completely different world, and the scene in front of him gradually became completely dark.
Suddenly, Byrne felt something was very wrong!
“Chris…”
He was about to yell when he felt dizzy.
The next moment, everything around him changed completely. The originally lush jungle turned into a ruin made of crystal, which continued to emit light. Byrne looked up in astonishment and suddenly saw an extremely magnificent and shocking crystal palace!
The Crystal Palace is tall and huge. Each piece of crystal is crystal clear and carefully carved with complex and delicate silver patterns. The sunlight shines through the crystal walls, making the entire Crystal Palace colorful.
A spacious and exquisite crystal staircase winds upward to the upper floors of the palace. The railings on both sides of the stairs are made of a mysterious golden substance, shining with a faint light.
The entire Crystal Palace exudes a solemn and sacred atmosphere, which makes people feel shocked from the bottom of their hearts, as if witnessing a mysterious kingdom from myths and legends!
Byrne suddenly realized something. This was the spirit world, and he had come to the spirit world in the form of a conscious being!
The real me was most likely asleep. That wasn't right. What was going on? It was impossible. Why would there be a hole connecting the real world to the spirit world?
"What on earth is going on? I clearly didn't drink the dream potion, nor did I pass through the dream forest."
He was filled with shock and astonishment, and subconsciously wanted to look over the dome at the figure of the great Lost Lord, but he was shocked to find that he could not see Him because of the obstruction of the crystal dome.
Because he couldn't see the great Lost Lord, Byrne's deep-seated sense of uneasiness became even more intense.
"Hey, Mr. Byrne, why are you here too?"
The sudden sound made him turn around abruptly, and he found that Baron Leander suddenly appeared in the distance. The old man was staring at him in surprise, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and he was holding an extremely strange egg in his arms.
The egg is more than 30 centimeters in diameter, and its shell is made entirely of crystal. Many scales grow naturally around it, making it look like a lifelike and beautiful work of art.
Byrne's attention was immediately attracted by the crystal egg. Among all the eggs of known mysterious creatures, there is actually only one that has scales growing on the eggshell!
Crystal...dragon egg?
However, he only took a look from a distance and soon heard Baron Leander yelling in anger, madness, and even a little madness.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Mr. Byrne! What are you looking at? This is mine, no one can take it away, hahaha! I get it, you want to steal it, right!"
"I fucking knew it!"
Oh no! He's going completely crazy!
Even if this guy isn't crazy, I'm afraid he won't let me leave here alive!
Byrne felt sweat dripping down his back, and before he could even open his mouth to answer, he sensed a strong danger approaching!
