Chapter 451 Plague Messenger
The room was relatively empty. In the center was a magic array with a diameter of more than ten meters. It was emitting a faint green halo, and a light green leaf was floating up and down in the center of the magic array.
In the magic array, there was a man and a woman wearing school wizard robes, busy with their own things.
As soon as Ryan entered, he felt a freshness in the air in the room. It turned out that the radiation around was blocked outside the magic array emitting a light green light.
The controller of the magic array seemed to be the female wizard, because she was drawing a new magic pattern in the corner of the magic array.
The other party was about the strength of the middle stage of crystallization. The side face was dignified, but there were already crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, and the hair was already a little gray. Obviously, she was quite old.
What attracted Ryan's attention was the old man who was assembling a backpack-like device.
The other party had thick eyebrows and extremely bright eyes. Judging from the breath, the strength of this person had reached the peak of crystallization wizards.
Obviously, this person should be Moria, the leader of the Bixiu Construction School.
Albert bowed slightly to the old man and said respectfully: "Teacher, Lord Ryan is here."
"Oh?" Moria and the older female wizard looked up at Ryan, but did not stop their work. But the next second, they all stopped.
Because at this moment, the expressions of the two were exactly the same as Albert's at the beginning, with eyes wide open and mouths slightly open in shock.
"You...you are Ryan?!"
"You have actually reached the peak of crystallization?" Moria stood up and walked quickly to Ryan, looking him up and down, and said.
"This is impossible!"
"Mogaro clearly told me that you only entered the second-level liquefied wizard a few months ago. This...this..."
The older female wizard also stood up at this moment, smiled at Ryan, and took the initiative to say hello. This was out of respect for strength.
Albert, who was standing aside, was completely stunned at this moment.
Because just now he only felt that Ryan's strength was stronger than his, but he only thought that Ryan was at most in the early or middle stage of crystallization. Who would have thought that Ryan was already at the peak of crystallization!
This is the same as his mentor, Moria, the head of the Construction School.
This made Albert look at Ryan with some resentment.
Is it really necessary to join a medium-sized wizard school with such strength?
If you want to join, you should at least choose a large wizard school!
Ryan had expected the reactions of several people.
Ryan naturally considered carefully whether to show his strength as a wizard.
And Ryan's decision was that it would be better to inform the school about his progress in reaching the peak of the third level of crystallization.
First of all, if he showed his strength at the peak of crystallization, if the school found the fourth or even fifth level of the Iron Heart Meditation Method in the ruins, he would have a reason to borrow it. He
didn't even need to take the initiative to ask, the school would probably take the initiative to open the relevant knowledge to him.
In this regard, it is likely to include some precious fourth-level witchcraft.
You know, all the witchcraft at the level of the fourth-level Dawn Wizard is extremely precious. It can be said that it is the foundation of a wizard school.
Secondly, for him, showing the progress of crystallization and exposing his own strength are not the same thing.
Because a large part of his strength comes from the core skills of the occupation panel, such as "Dragon Soul Smash", and another part comes from the transformation of the mutant dragon bloodline and the mastery of various top mysteries.
Relatively speaking, the third-level crystallization peak wizard does not account for a large proportion of his strength.
Therefore, his display of crystallization progress is far from exposing his true strength.
Of course, the most important point is that Ryan's current strength can already deal with most people who have bad intentions or covet him.
So, Ryan modified the long-prepared rhetoric, such as the ancient dragon soul potion and a series of things that entered the secret realm of Dragon Valley, and said it again. After
listening to what Ryan said, the three people, including Moria, were amazed, envious and sighed!
"Although I haven't seen Batalov, the dean of the Winterhold Academy for many years, I know that he has been collecting materials for the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion. I didn't expect that he would succeed in the end."
"But Ryan, you actually got a bottle of the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion that Batalov treasured from him. It's amazing! If it were me, I'm afraid I couldn't get a bottle even with the rarest treasures."
Moria recalled with a wry smile.
"Oh, by the way, Ryan, I forgot to introduce you. This is Ms. Fiona, the deputy head of the school." After a long while, Moria finally came back to his senses. He pointed to the elderly female wizard beside him and introduced her with a smile.
"Ms. Fiona, nice to meet you for the first time." Ryan smiled and bowed.
"Hello, Sir Ryan, although this is the first time we meet, I have a very deep impression." Fiona complimented him in a very decent way.
After some greetings, several people sat down in the witch formation emitting green light and talked about business.
Moriah introduced: "The strange radiation here has a unique and powerful effect on the stone palate monsters, but fortunately, this promotion effect will also decrease as the stone palate monsters become stronger."
"At present, the improvement is fastest in the early stage, and it will be much slower when it reaches the quasi-legendary level, requiring ten or even dozens of years of accumulation."
"As for the legendary stone palate monsters, it will be even slower to rely on this level of radiation to improve. The only way is to go deeper inside, to the place with higher radiation intensity."
While telling Ryan, the sect leader Moriah pointed to the entrance of the platform below where the stone palate monsters were crowded from the iron fence window.
"I see, this is why so many stone palate monsters gather at that entrance." Ryan nodded and said.
With so many stone palate monsters, even he can only rely on the transformation of the dragon bloodline to deal with them, but this will consume a lot of his attribute points.
"Yes, that's the problem."
"That's the only way we can go to the core area of the Valzig School. Although we have discussed a way to lead most of the stone palate monsters away, there should still be a small number of stone palate monsters left." Moria continued.
"The current level of radiation requires a wizard in the middle stage of the second-level liquefaction to use protective magic to deal with it with all his strength."
"It is conceivable that if we can enter the core area, the intensity of radiation we face will be very strenuous even for a third-level crystallization wizard."
"In the past six months, we have also used small puppets to detect the entrance. In addition to some protective magic arrays, there are also some rare war golems that can still drive and attack foreign enemies with amazing power." "
In other words, if you go deeper, it is very likely that you will have to resist the increasing intensity of radiation while dealing with various emergencies such as battles. In this case, even the mental power of a third-level crystallization wizard will not last too long."
At this time, Moria motioned to the deputy sect leader Fiona to continue the introduction.
"Lord Moria and I have thought of many ways to deal with this, and have also conducted many witchcraft tests. We have found that natural witchcraft has the best protective effect."
Fiona smiled at Ryan and continued Moria's words.
"This is the leaf of the ancient tree. Under the stimulation of the witch array, it can achieve a certain balance of confrontation with the current intensity of radiation, thereby avoiding the consumption of mental power to release protective witchcraft. This is also a way for us to stay here for a long time."
Fiona pointed to the green leaf floating up and down in the center of the witch array and said.
"At the same time, this also proves the feasibility of this idea."
"Of course, if we want to go deeper, we need more powerful natural treasures. For example, according to our estimation, the 'heart of the ancient tree' can greatly reduce or even completely offset the radiation damage in the core area."
"I see." Ryan nodded.
No wonder the leader of Moria urgently needs the 'heart of the ancient tree'.
"Unfortunately, I don't know what happened to the elves recently, and the original contact suddenly disappeared. Our exploration team originally had two people, but now I have sent them to investigate the situation nearby."
Moria frowned and sighed.
It's really a bad feeling to spend a lot of time and energy to find a method, but it can't be realized due to the limitation of raw materials.
"Well, Lord Moria, maybe I can help with this matter. I brought the heart of the ancient tree this time." Ryan smiled and took out a wooden box from his arms.
It was the wooden box given to him by the elf elder, Aldilan, the mayor of Bashalan.
"Huh?"
Hearing Ryan's words, Moria and the other two seemed to have a question mark engraved on their foreheads.
However, when Ryan opened the box, the two oval objects emitting rich natural energy fluctuations immediately answered the three people's questions.
They heard it right!
"This is really the heart of the ancient tree! There is no mistake. This level of natural energy fluctuations is not comparable to other ironwood hearts and ancient tree leaves." Deputy Sect Leader Fiona exclaimed in a state of disbelief.
"Haha, great! There are still two pieces, it's really great!"
"Ryan, you are really the lucky star of the school. With your arrival, the biggest problem is solved!" Moria patted Ryan's shoulder heavily and laughed heartily.
At this time, Ryan felt the vibration of the thin sheet in his arms, so he bowed slightly and said embarrassedly: "Sorry."
He walked to the side, took out the thin sheet and injected a trace of mental power.
"I am Ryan."
"Hiss Lei. Sir, hi your. Regional Plague is. The messenger."
It seems that because of the strong radiation interference here, Olena's voice coming from the other side of the thin sheet can't be heard at all.
"Hello?"
"Hiss."
The call was interrupted.
However, Ryan barely caught a few key words, "region", "plague" and "messenger".
Recalling what he asked Olena to do before-investigating the dynamics of the cult near the Walzig ruins, Ryan immediately thought of something.
"Could it be that this is the activity area of the plague sect?" Ryan couldn't help but think secretly.
When Ryan turned around and sat down again, Moria was already working on putting the heart of the ancient tree into the backpack-like device he had made before.
As an ancient tree heart was put in, the backpack soon emitted a spherical protective barrier visible to the naked eye. The diameter was less than three meters, but it was more than enough to protect one person.
"The ancient tree heart is expensive. I thought you were already very good to exchange one, but I didn't expect to get two. Ryan, how about you come in with me?" Moria invited with a smile.
"This." Ryan couldn't help but look at the deputy sect leader Fiona on the side. The other party spent a lot of energy on exploring the ruins in the early stage. In his opinion, she should be given priority.
However, before Ryan could say anything, the deputy sect leader Fiona on the side smiled and said, "Sir Ryan, I can do it, and Lord Moria basically knows it. And your strength is stronger than mine, so it is naturally more suitable."
"Okay then." Just as Ryan was about to say something, suddenly, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door.
The wall moved away again.
"School leader, it's not good!" Two male wizards wearing the school's standard wizard robes walked in quickly and said.
"We investigated the situation and found that the nearby elven town of Rutherland has been occupied by the Plague Cult. I'm afraid it will be difficult to obtain the Heart of the Ancient Tree."
"What?" Moriah and Fiona's faces changed. It was not because of the Heart of the Ancient Tree, but because the current situation was more serious than they had expected.
The scale of the cult's action this time was large.
Just as the two male wizards approached further, Ryan suddenly frowned, stretched out his hand to stop them, and said, "Wait!"
"It seems that you two..."
"Huh? You are..." The two looked surprised, obviously not knowing Ryan.
"No, you have some kind of mental mark on you, you are being tracked!" Deputy Sect Leader Fiona's face was solemn.
"No, this is a curse, you two are cursed." Moriah's face changed and said.
At this moment, under the light of the light green witch formation in the room, a fist-sized, thin black mist appeared above their heads.
This also immediately changed the faces of the two people, as if they thought of something.
But before the two could explain anything, their faces suddenly turned red, and then they began to vomit blood.
"Boom!" A
loud noise followed!
The wall of the room near the tunnel was suddenly blown open.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. I didn't expect that following two little fish, we could actually find the ruins of an ancient wizard school." A hoarse, teasing voice came from the other end of the long tunnel.
Then, five figures wearing black robes and hoods appeared at the gap in the blown wall.
"Plague cult!" Moria looked at the cauldron pattern with green bubbles on the other party's robe, and said with a serious face.
"Huh? Crystallization peak?" At this time, the hooded black-robed man in the lead also changed his face when he saw Moria and Ryan, and whispered.
Obviously, he didn't expect that following two wizards in the late stage of second-level liquefaction would actually run into two high-level wizards in the peak of third-level crystallization.
However, as one of the three plague messengers, Gershi was also at the peak of crystallization, so the battle broke out suddenly.
"Curse of the Plague Messenger!" Gershi immediately cast the spell.
"Swish!" He waved the bone staff in his hand, and five groups of black mist the size of millstones attacked Ryan and his five companions!
However, when the black mist entered the light green witch formation in the center of the room, its speed immediately slowed down, but it seemed that because of the influence of the black mist, the green leaves in the center of the witch formation also dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Too arrogant!" Moria quickly cast the spell
, and Ryan also raised his right hand, and a silver metal ring appeared in front of him, and flew towards the black-robed man opposite him with a "whoosh".
It seemed that sensing the extraordinary power of Ryan's witchcraft, Gershi, who was in the lead, shouted "Get out of the way", and the two black-robed men reacted quickly, but the reactions of the other two were a beat slower.
Perhaps, they thought that with the protection of the black hood-shaped defensive witchcraft, it shouldn't be a big deal.
But with a sound of "chi!", the black hoods of the two people were instantly penetrated as if they didn't exist. Of course, their bodies were not immune.
"Ah!!!"
The two black-robed men felt the severe pain in their waists and abdomens, looked down in disbelief, and screamed with trembling bodies.
"Plop! Plop!"
There were two sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, and two half bodies fell to the ground, but the strong vitality prevented the two from dying immediately, and they continued to struggle and howl.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the scene, whether enemies or friends, looked at Ryan in horror.
It seemed that they were saying that the power of this silver metal ring was too great, right?
As for the plague messenger Gershi, his heart sank suddenly!
Because he knew the strength of his two subordinates best, not to mention that before entering the door, both of them cast the third-level defensive magic "Shadow Guardian".
But even so, they couldn't block the other party's silver metal ring for even a second!
No wonder, as soon as he saw the silver metal ring cast by the young man, his heart was alarmed.
Just when everyone was amazed at the power of Ryan's magic, suddenly, a black-robed man hiding behind the wall screamed again.
At the same time.
The wall "chi" broke a horizontal crack, and the silver metal ring passed through and returned to Ryan again.
"Hiss~"
This scene immediately made everyone in the school, including Moria, gasp.
The power and flexibility of this magic are amazing!
The key is that such a difficult magic needs to be practiced to be almost instantaneous. This difficulty
"Damn it!" Gershi was angry when he saw this scene.
In just two seconds, the witchcraft performed by Ryan instantly killed three of the elite members of the cult he brought with him, leaving only him and another person.
However, he did not think he would lose, because their Plague Cult was not good at single witchcraft, but group witchcraft and curses.
"Plague Cloud!"
The skull on the top of the bone staff in Gershi's hand exploded, and in an instant, a dark green fog with a diameter of several meters appeared out of thin air and quickly drifted towards the location of the Bixiu Construction School.
The fog was extremely powerful. Along the way, it directly corroded most of the already dim light green witch formation, and then continued to fly towards everyone.
"Get out of the way!" Moria shouted and immediately dodged sideways.
He knew very well that some of the evil spells of the Plague Cult were area attacks, and they were extremely vicious and difficult to deal with. Once hit, it might not be fatal immediately, but it would fall into an extremely passive situation.
"Sizzle!"
A large ball of dark green fog was extremely corrosive and toxic. Although it did not hit Ryan and his companions, it corroded a large hole several meters in diameter in the wall of the room at the other end after it hit the end of the room.
You know, the room here is like a crane arm extending out of the air, hanging directly above the platform below.
In the previous six months, everyone in the school had been operating carefully in the room, but the strong fluctuations in witchcraft energy during the battle just now had already caused a commotion among hundreds of stone palate monsters below.
Even the huge stone palate monster chief, who had half-closed his eyes and leaned against the entrance railing, now opened a pair of fierce yellow-brown vertical pupils and looked at the room more than ten meters high.
For a moment, thousands of pairs of vertical pupils focused in the air!
Old Bookworm wishes all book friends a happy New Year! 2025, smooth sailing!
