Chapter 186 023: Rock Giant Guard
The goblins basically had no fighting power, and in a few moves, these goblins were slaughtered by Luo Xi like cutting melons and vegetables.
Without the obstruction of the goblins, the road ahead was smooth and Luo Xi quickly reached the top of the devil's vines.
"Is this... the living room?"
Luo Xi looked around in surprise. After climbing up the vines, he found himself in a very large space. It did not feel like he was inside a tower, but rather like he was in a field.
Surrounded by mountains, lakes and even lush forests, it feels like you have suddenly entered another world.
“It’s amazing, how did you do that?”
This is not a simple visual illusion. Luo Xi can feel the existence of these substances around him, but it should not be pure space magic. After all, the energy required to cram such a huge space into such a small space is extremely huge. A sage's wizard tower should not be able to reach this level.
"It seems to be a spell similar to the one in the previous library. Never mind. I can just ask the tower spirit when I get it. The important thing now is to get the contract document as soon as possible..."
It is unknown how long the battle outside will last, but it is estimated that it will not last too long. The situation is now one-sided, and it is a foregone conclusion that the tower will be taken by the Alliance. If we don’t get the tower spirit before then, there will be no chance.
Thinking of this, Luo Xi put aside his curiosity and quickly moved forward.
There is a winding and rugged mountain road in front of us, extending into the distance, passing through the entire wilderness and leading to the distant mountains. It is impossible to see how far the end is.
Luo Xi stood on the mountain path, clapped his hands gently as Talling had taught him, and recited a short spell at the same time.
Suddenly, Luo Xi felt as if he had walked into a super-fast time corridor. Everything in front of him was compressed and rapidly receding. In the blink of an eye, he had passed through mountains and plains and came to the end of the road.
“It’s amazing…”
Although Luo Xi didn't know exactly how far he had traveled, but judging from the distance he had just estimated, it was probably at least dozens or hundreds of miles. If he just relied on his legs, he would not be able to reach his destination even if the war was over.
"It's really too big." Luo Xi exclaimed in amazement.
Sage Jeraak often does some strange experiments, many of which require a certain environment to cultivate experimental materials. For example, in the mountains and forests before, there are actually his captive test subjects and other experimental materials. After crossing this wilderness, we came to the end of the road, and here is a valley with beautiful scenery.
There are several small wooden houses scattered in the center of the valley. The overall combination makes people look particularly comfortable, as if they have walked into a paradise. Just looking at this aesthetic, it is really hard to associate it with the evil black wizard.
“Crash!~”
At this moment, a crisp sound was heard and the earth began to vibrate.
Suddenly, the ground seemed to flow like water. Large pieces of soil gathered from all directions and quickly rushed towards Luo Xi. After a short while, a rock giant was formed in front of Luo Xi.
"Clay puppet."
Luo Xi was familiar with this kind of magical creation. After all, his own Hellfire was also a clay puppet.
However, the clay puppet in front of him was much larger than his hellfire. It was like a mountain that came to life. As it rushed towards him, it gave people a strong sense of oppression, as if a mountain had fallen down.
"Unknown visitor, show me the warrant from Sage Jeraak!" A deafening voice rang in Luo Xi's ears.
This is the guard puppet placed here by Wizard Jeraak. Without the order from Sage Jeraak, one will be intercepted and attacked by it. Its strength is equivalent to that of a high-level wizard, which is completely beyond Luo Xi's current ability to deal with.
Luo Xi put on a polite smile, saluted to the mountain giant in front of him, and then said politely: "Dear guard, please wait a moment, I will show you the warrant now."
After saying that, he took out a book and opened it in front of the guard.
However, after the book was opened, there was no warrant inside, only text and illustrations. These text and illustrations came alive at this moment, with characters flying into the air and portraits turning into images that floated up.
At the same time, a heavy narration voice also sounded: "A long time ago, there was a towering castle on the other side of a distant mountain."
This is a magic storybook, similar to the Mirror Shadow Card Book, which can present the stories in the book in a magical way.
A very strange thing happened.
The originally stern rock giant guard suddenly seemed to be fascinated. He sat down cross-legged and no longer cared about Luo Xi. He just sat there blankly listening to the story in the book, looking like he was immersed in it.
Luo Xi's face lit up with joy: "It's done!"
According to Lina, this rock guard has a bad habit of loving to listen to stories. Once someone around starts telling a story, it will be addicted to it and cannot extricate itself until the story is over.
Luo Xi didn't know why a clay puppet without any thinking consciousness would have this problem, but Lina said that it had this problem when it was made, and it seemed that even Sage Jeraak himself didn't notice it.
After all, in a place where dark wizards gather, you can't expect anyone to tell stories all day long, right?
Using the storybook brought from the library to attract the rock giant, Luo Xi hurriedly continued to move forward and soon entered the valley ahead.
"Red roof, red roof, where is the red roof?"
There are several small wooden houses scattered in the valley, and each of them has different functions, including bedrooms, reception rooms, laboratories, etc. Luo Xi searched among them and finally his sight fell on a house with a red roof.
This is the study of Sage Jeraak.
The wooden houses in the valley were connected by muddy and narrow paths paved with round stone slabs. However, Luo Xi carefully avoided the stone slabs and only stepped on the soil underneath.
Lina told him that these stone slabs were fragments of the rock giant's skin, and they were cast with the rock giant's spells. If someone came in normally, the rock giant would be affected by the spells, but if someone like Luo Xi sneaked in and touched the stone slabs, the stone slabs would jump up and hit him, and if he fought back, he might wake up the rock giant.
Carefully avoiding all the stone slabs, Luo Xi walked through the mud and came to the red-roofed house.
The door is locked. These are magic doors. If it is the wizard Jeraak himself who is here, the door will automatically open to serve him when he is seen approaching. But if it is an outsider like Luo Xi, he will be blocked outside the door.
If you want to get in, you need to find another way...
