Chapter 116 Olde (Happy New Year)
Chapter 116
The forest is deep and dense, with towering ancient trees and thick branches and leaves blocking out the sun. Occasionally a breeze blows by, bringing with it mottled light and shadows.
Lin En was wearing a wizard robe and his steps were as fast as the wind, with the robe fluttering lightly as he walked.
Faint fluctuations of crystal wind element factors appeared around him, which was obviously the blessing of the wind-moving technique. It made his body nimble and swift, and he shuttled through the jungle like the wind.
He ran straight towards the direction where the dragon's roar came from.
After passing through the dense forest, the terrain ahead gradually rises and a towering mountain comes into view.
Lin En stopped and looked up into the distance. He could vaguely see a black dragon on the top of the mountain.
Lin En did not rush out rashly, but lowered his head slightly and rubbed a dark blue ring on the index finger of his left hand.
This ring is dark blue all over, plain and without any inscriptions or carvings. It looks ordinary, but it actually has a great history.
It was the most precious space ring among the spoils that Lin En seized from the Lord of Night Shadow Castle! Although Lin En had space props before, they were only standard items for furnace missions, with only storage functions and no protection. Anyone who got it could easily take out the items inside.
Moreover, the size of that type of standard space prop was only equivalent to that of a palm. In order to make it easier to carry, Lin En specially sewed two inner pockets in his robe to place these space objects, which was quite inconvenient.
However, this blue ring is different.
Not only is it more convenient to store things, but the internal space is far larger than the standard space props that Lin En had used before, and it is hundreds of cubic meters! Unfortunately, after checking, Lin En found that there were no magic potions or magic props inside the ring except for some clothes, food, and books.
In fact, the Lord of Nightshadow had experienced a fierce battle before, and the magic potions on his body had been exhausted long ago. Even his treasured magic props were destroyed by Astrid and the black dragon.
Then, before he had a chance to replenish his resources, he was tricked by the Lionheart Knight, trapped in the [Landscape], and eventually died.
Naturally, Lin En did not get any extra surprises from this ring.
But even so, just this space ring alone is enough to satisfy Lin En.
Buzz——
The dark blue ring glowed slightly, emitting a faint halo.
The next moment, a crystal bottle appeared in Lin En's hand. The bottle was emitting a faint silver glow, and inside it was a clear liquid.
Lynn uncorked the bottle without hesitation and drank it in one gulp.
This was a magic potion that restored mental strength. It was cool and sweet when it first entered his mouth, and instantly turned into a warm current that flowed into his body and poured into his spiritual sea, dispelling some of his fatigue and making his mind clearer.
As the saying goes, a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Although Lin En had a great advantage, he was still prepared.
…………………………
On the top of the towering mountain, the wind was howling.
At this moment, many figures gathered here, all of them wearing furnace robes, with different expressions, but all of them were alert and nervous.
In the center of their circle, a black dragon was entwined.
This black dragon is not large in size, only two or three meters long, but its neck and tail are extremely slender, giving it a unique sense of elegance.
If not for this, with just the two short and thick hind legs and slender front paws, it would probably just look bloated and clumsy.
The most oppressive feature of the black dragon is its extremely broad fleshy wings. If fully spread out, the wingspan is nearly ten meters, like a pitch-black sky.
The entire body is covered with dense black scales, reflecting a cold glow in the sunlight, as if it were made of fine iron, which is intimidating.
"roar!"
The black dragon roared towards the sky, its fangs bared, its mouth full of jagged teeth, and it looked extremely ferocious.
A hot flame factor was faintly surging in the depths of its throat, and violent energy was rapidly gathering, as if it was about to condense into a destructive fireball.
However, the next moment, the flame spewed out, but it was just a small flame, as pitiful as the faint light from a lighter...
The black dragon's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Its power was suppressed by this damn space, and it couldn't even spit out a fireball!
The wizards and apprentices around them did not hesitate to cast their spells upon seeing this, using various spells to bind the black dragon tightly.
The ground collapsed like a quagmire, swallowing the black dragon's claws and feet deeply, making it unable to move.
Thick vines grew wildly from the ground, wrapping around the black dragon's limbs like steel chains and binding it tightly.
The waves flowed, and a water prison made of azure energy rose from all directions, completely imprisoning the black dragon's body.
The black dragon struggled and roared, but faced with the joint siege of many furnace figures, it was forced into a desperate situation step by step!
These figures are all wearing furnace robes, and the ones who can order the furnace's people to work are naturally the leaders of the furnace.
Standing in the center of the crowd was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a blue robe.
This person is the great wizard Helen that Lin En knows.
However, at this moment, the great wizard Helen is not the real leader.
He bowed slightly respectfully and said with a tentative smile:
"Lord Olde, I have sent people to look for the people you mentioned..."
And the one that made the great wizard Helen so respectful was not the master of the furnace, but the law enforcement wizard in the starry robe! Older stared at the black dragon quietly, the starry robe on his body floating slightly, and the robe seemed to reflect the flow of the stars, exuding a mysterious majesty.
His eyes were deep and cold. After hearing Helen's words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a look that seemed to be a smile.
"hehe……"
Alder chuckled and said calmly:
"You don't have to be so nervous... The biggest sinner of the Soul Eye Furnace is not you, but that Soul Eye Wizard."
Hearing this, Great Wizard Helen felt slightly relieved and the expression on her face eased a little.
But the next sentence of Alder made his heart suddenly tighten! "But..." Alder's tone changed, and the smile on his face deepened, "Since you have accompanied the Spirit Eye Wizard to this ghost place...if everything goes well, nothing will happen."
"But if something goes wrong... then you will not be able to escape the consequences either."
The air suddenly condensed, and the wizards all around held their breath and concentrated, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing.
Hearing this, the Great Wizard Helen's face suddenly straightened, and he promised without hesitation: "Master Olde, please rest assured! I have conveyed all your orders! Whether it is the alien creature, the Spirit Eye Wizard, or even the Spirit Eye Wizard's students, they are all on the hunting list! Once there is any discovery, I will report it to you as soon as possible!"
Helen's voice was sonorous and powerful, her tone was firm and there was no hesitation at all.
Great Wizard Helen is very sensible and has a very flexible bottom line.
In the past, in the Crucible, he admired the Spirit Eye Wizard very much and could even be called the other party's "first confidant".
Whether openly or secretly, he stood on the side of the Spirit Eye Wizards and assisted them wholeheartedly without any ulterior motives.
But when Olde revealed his identity as a law enforcement wizard, Helen immediately realized that the situation had changed.
So he changed his position without hesitation, quickly joined Olde's army, and decisively cut ties with the Spirit Eye Wizard!
All problems are blamed on the Spirit Eye Wizard!
These third-level and second-level wizards were only following orders and had no knowledge of the situation, so they were naturally not guilty.
Alder witnessed all this, a sneer flashed in his eyes.
He knew very well that just a few words from him had made Helen willing to betray her old master and even bring the entire Forge system of wizards and apprentices to work for her.
The source of all this is the deterrent power of the identity of a law enforcement wizard! At this moment, his eyes slowly fell on the imprisoned black dragon in the center, and he said calmly:
"A dragon of the fire attribute, dark in color, with dense scales... It looks like a scaly fire dragon."
Alder narrowed his eyes and spoke in a grim tone.
The black dragon glared at Olde, the depth of his throat trembling slightly, and a blazing fire factor faintly emerged, as if it would erupt at any time.
However, Olde sneered nonchalantly, then his tone sank and his eyes were as sharp as a knife:
"I know that you have a contractual bond with the Spirit Eye Wizard, and you are unwilling to break your oath, so you choose to betray him."
The black dragon's pupils suddenly shrank! Olde raised his hand slightly and continued indifferently: "If I were somewhere else, I might still look up to you and think you are very loyal..."
The topic changed and a chill suddenly rose!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"but!"
Older's voice suddenly became low and murderous: "Spirit Eye Wizard, you are suspected of treason and betrayal to the wizard world!"
"I have the right now to deprive him of all his rights for life. There is no need to go to the Wizard Court. I can kill him right here!"
The black dragon's body trembled slightly, and the fierce light in his eyes obviously dimmed.
Older pressed on step by step, his tone as heavy as a boulder, and every word seemed to weigh on the Black Dragon's heart: "If you insist on abiding by the contract and are unwilling to obey me, then you will be his accomplice!"
"When I leave here, I will report this matter to the Dragon Clan. Your father, mother, your race, your bloodline... How will they view you?"
The black dragon's breath began to become disordered, and the struggle in its eyes became more and more obvious.
Seeing this, Olde raised his lips slightly and said the last sentence in a gloomy tone:
"I'll give you a chance. This is your path to atonement."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to live. You know, I have a few good friends in the Dragon Clan... If not, I wouldn't have the time to talk nonsense with you for so long!"
The black dragon trembled all over, clenched its fangs slightly, and the resistance in its eyes was already wavering...
However, at this moment, the tip of Olde's nose moved slightly and his brows suddenly frowned.
"Um?!"
His deep eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze suddenly turned into the distance.
"This breath... and the changes in the rules of heaven and earth..."
His expression was solemn, and he quickly turned around and looked into the depths of the mountain path.
I saw a figure slowly walking towards me.
He was a wizard with a slender figure, walking steadily and breathing leisurely.
With every step taken, tiny points of green light appeared in the air, like stars in the night sky, floating around, yet revealing a certain mysterious rhythm.
This person was Lin En who had rushed all the way here! At the entrance of the mountain top, two apprentices in long robes stood quietly, their eyes alert, watching the newcomers.
One of them caught a glimpse of the emblem on Lin En's robe, his eyes moved slightly, and then he shouted in a deep voice:
"Stop! Apprentice of the Forge, you have been assigned by the Great Wizard Helen. You are not allowed to act on your own!"
As soon as these words came out, a strange look flashed in the eyes of another apprentice. He also sensed the frightening aura of Lin En, but did not dare to act rashly.
Because this place is not ordinary! Behind them is the gathering place of the great wizard Helen and many wizards.
But now, this space is suppressed by rules, and everyone is confined to the realm of a third-level apprentice.
But even so, there is still an insurmountable gap between the third-level apprentices! How can a true third-level apprentice compete with a formal wizard who has been suppressed to the third-level apprentice?
If they really started fighting, the winner would be clear! Not to mention those second-level wizards, and even the third-level great wizards who were in high positions! Because of this, despite the delicate situation, the great wizard Helen still firmly controlled the wizards of the Crucible and maintained the order of the team, and the people of the Crucible did not have the idea of resisting.
They knew very well that in this strange space, the only way to escape was to obey Helen's command.
However, at this moment, a light voice suddenly came from behind, cold and unquestionable: "Catch this apprentice, there is something wrong with him."
"Capture him alive! Attack him together!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere froze.
The two apprentices looked at each other, their eyes suddenly turned cold, and a hint of murderous intent emerged.
"Earth Transformation Technique!"
The ground began to shake, as if it had generated a unique rhythm, trying to trap Lin En and prevent him from moving.
"Swamp Technique!"
Boom! Combined with the Earth Transformation Technique, the Swamp Technique produced an even more powerful effect!
The ground beneath Lin En's feet suddenly trembled! The hard rocks and thick soil suddenly became soft, twisting and surging like living things, and turned into a dark swamp in an instant!
Gulp... Gulp...
Weird bubbles kept churning, and black mud spread, like a ferocious giant mouth, trying to swallow Lin En completely...
Faced with the sudden attack, Lin En looked calm and showed no sign of panic.
In fact, with his current strength as a formal wizard, there is really no need to panic in this space.
Just as the swamp was surging and the black mud was spreading, he closed his eyes slightly, and a deep green glow appeared on his body, and bits of emerald green light emerged, like fireflies in the night sky.
At the same time, he whispered a spell: "Ifgrid."
As the sound fell, a sudden change occurred! Gulp... Gulp...
The black swamp that was originally rolling non-stop suddenly stagnated! All the flowing and sinking trends solidified in an instant, as if an invisible giant hand pressed the pause button!
Beneath the quagmire, some older, more powerful will awakens...
"Ifgrid" is the extraordinary plant transformed from Lynn's life seed!
Long before this, he had used it to hunt down the Lord of Nightshadow Castle and destroy invading enemies. The tree roots that emerged from the shadows became his sharp blades to kill his enemies.
At this moment, Ivgrid once again played a powerful role.
Its essence is a tree!
The earth gives birth to trees, and trees take root in the earth, extending to invisible depths, absorbing all nutrients...
At this moment, the ground beneath Lin En's feet was no longer ordinary soil, but a territory filled with countless tree roots! And the so-called "Earth Transformation Technique" and "Swamp Technique" were just the shallow means of two mere third-level apprentices. How could they shake the root system of Ivgrid?
