Chapter 106: Incident (Part 3)
Chapter 106: Astrid seemed to be trapped in a long dream. In the dream, she heard the deep voice of the Lord of the Furnace echoing in her ears. She seemed to have returned to her infancy, wrapped in warm swaddling clothes.
The long-lost sense of security made her unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
In reality, the Master of the Forge has already pulled Astrid to his side.
He looked deeply at the woman in front of him.
Astrid was not only his student, but also his biological daughter.
However, her most important identity is that she is the container that carries the soul fragments of the Lord of the Furnace!
At this moment, the Lord of the Furnace slowly raised his hand. His hand was as white as jade, with a perfect luster that did not belong to humans. He gently pressed it on the top of Astrid's head.
The next moment, an extremely terrifying spiritual force suddenly erupted, enveloping the two of them in a brilliant silver light.
At the same time, in that dreamy and mysterious space, Lynn's eyes were fixed on the golden scale.
He was surprised to find that the two image windows changed drastically at the same time.
The first image is the maze where the Lord of the White Heart Tower is located.
At this moment, he was bursting out with terrifying power, tearing the sky and the earth apart, and wantonly releasing a powerful aura that made people's heart palpitate.
The video window was flashing a blinding red light. It was obvious that the "lack of energy" warnings were caused by the all-out attack by the White Heart Tower Master.
The second image is the maze where the Master of the Furnace and Astrid are located.
Shrouded in silver light, the atmosphere seems extremely mysterious.
Some unknown ritual seemed to be going on between the Forge Master and Astrid.
The golden scale also responded to this, and the window kept flashing a faint yellow light, as if evaluating or accepting something.
Suddenly, a rapid sound of breaking through the air was heard!
Lin En's eyes focused, and he saw the golden scale glowing brighter and brighter, and a miniature shadow floated out of the scale. It was the figure of the master of the furnace! Immediately afterwards, another miniature female shadow also emerged, turned into a stream of light, and flew towards the golden scale - it was Astrid!
This scene shocked Lynn deeply.
Although he didn't understand what happened exactly, he vaguely guessed that this might be an "exchange."
As for the content of the exchange... could it be the price required by the golden scale? Lin En stood in that mysterious space, his eyes fixed on the indescribable wonder in front of him, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
He originally thought that he had learned that strange language in the first level of the maze, and in this maze space created by the scales, he could do whatever he wanted with ease as if he were fighting at home.
In addition, even the third-level wizard was helpless against him before, which made him feel more confident and even have illusions.
However, when he saw the performance of those two figures, Lin En truly realized his own insignificance.
For a truly powerful person, this dangerous maze is nothing! The white-robed wizard's attack was so powerful that he had torn apart an entire layer of the maze.
His destructive aura was far inferior to Lin En's self-righteous "destructive" methods.
On the other hand, the performance of the Master of the Furnace was equally amazing.
He cleverly operated within the framework of the scale's rules, using methods to "play around" with the rules of the maze, achieving the effect of stealing one thing from another and completely freeing himself from the constraints of the scale.
Of course, someone has to bear the cost, and the one who bears all this is obviously Estri...
"This is a price that not even a Morning Star wizard can afford. If it is multiplied tenfold, I'm afraid Astrid will never be able to get out!"
Lynn muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the image of the Forge Master.
In that space filled with silver light, Astrid still had her eyes tightly closed. There was no trace of pain or awareness on her beautiful face. She seemed completely unaware that she was trapped in a whirlpool, being pushed into the bottomless abyss.
"Sure enough, in the world of dark wizards, it is normal for teachers to cheat their students..."
Lynn looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel emotional.
He thought of his cheap teacher Rosalind.
Rosalind had always treated him gently and seemed to have no ill intentions towards him, but Lynn remained vigilant and secretly on guard.
I even often imagine various scenarios in which I might be "tricked" and design countermeasures for myself overnight.
However, after so much time had passed, Rosalind had not made any move to frame him, which made Lynn doubt whether he was too sensitive and even wronged his teacher.
But now, looking at the real-life portrayal of the "good teacher and student" pair of the Master of the Forge and Astrid, Lin En suddenly felt that his caution was not unnecessary.
"There is no hate without reason, and there is no love without reason."
Lin En looked at the screen where the Lord of the Furnace was with a complicated look.
Who in the furnace didn't know that Astrid and the furnace master had a deep relationship as teacher and student? As long as she didn't do something as exaggerated as blowing up the furnace, Astrid could do whatever she wanted, and the furnace master never blamed her.
However, at this moment, the so-called "deep affection between teachers and students" was ruthlessly pushed onto the scale and became the bearer of the price when the Lord of the Crucible needed to get rid of the price.
…………………………
Outside the Cuidao Forest, a figure suddenly appeared.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The man was wearing a wizard robe with patterns as deep as the sea of stars. Behind him appeared the shadow of a golden sun. He had a solemn aura and was obviously a law enforcement wizard who came to investigate the place.
Although he had been intercepted by a female wizard from the Meteoric Council outside the Three Kingdoms before, the other party was obviously unwilling to fight to the death and fled in panic after only a brief struggle.
"The rats of the Meteoric Council run pretty fast."
The law enforcement wizard narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness in his gaze. A cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, revealing his white teeth.
Although the female wizard escaped, she suffered a great loss in the fight with him and her life was almost hanging by a thread.
Even if he is not dead now, he must be seriously injured and have broken bones.
Withdrawing his gaze, the law enforcement wizard floated in the air, overlooking the Green Island Forest and the towering buildings of the Furnace.
His expression was calm and his eyes were deep, yet they carried a chilling coldness.
At this moment, he was holding an exquisite compass in his hand.
This compass is extremely complex, with hundreds of tiny pointers and discs distributed inside. Each pointer represents a unique attribute. They are connected to each other, yet independent of each other.
After a moment, the law enforcement wizard took a deep breath, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"There is an alien aura... coming from some otherworldly plane."
He murmured, his eyes narrowed slightly, and continued to analyze: "Not only did the Morning Star Wizard not close the teleportation array, but he kept it open until the alien aura completely entered... Heh, how bold."
Based only on the feedback from the compass and a few clues, he was able to deduce the original actions of the Lord of the Furnace.
However, his brows gradually furrowed, and he asked himself in a low voice:
"But... what is the reason that could make a Morning Star wizard willing to bear the cost of shattering a star? What kind of existence is worth such a risk?"
As he was lost in thought, his eyes inadvertently swept towards the Green Island Forest.
His eyes focused, and he sensed an unusual aura deep in the forest. Although it was extremely faint, it faintly revealed a hint of mystery.
He didn't care at first, but at this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from inside the Cuidao Forest.
The aura was violent and strange, sweeping across heaven and earth in an instant. It was incompatible with the origin of the wizarding world and obviously did not belong to this world!
“Damn it!”
The law enforcement wizard's expression suddenly changed, and a gloomy and alert look flashed in his eyes, "So it's this thing!"
