Chapter 145: Lilac Tree and Magic Mirror (Please collect)
“What is this?”
Karl stood on the magic flying carpet, lowered his head and looked at the islands on the sea, his eyes filled with joy It's doubt.
"A standard hexagon..."
"Would a natural island look like this?"
The island below is low-lying in the middle and high around the edges. The whole island is in the shape of a standard hexagon, with the longest distance from north to south being more than ten miles.
The entire island is covered with trees, and in the middle stands a giant tree about three hundred meters high.
A faint smoke envelopes the island.
“The aura of corruption and exuberant vitality can be perfectly blended together?”
Karl’s eyes flashed and fell on the giant tree in the middle of the island:
"Later stage of the first level!"
The overwhelming aura of corruption and the vast and endless aura of life all illustrate its power.
Even,
Karl suspected that if there were no certain restrictions in this world, the giant tree would have exceeded the first level.
Become a second-order, or even third-order existence!
If you use it to refine a blood elixir...
Karl's heart was beating and his eyes were slightly warm.
"Advance in shuttle formation!"
Aya's voice echoed in the sea through the special amplification equipment, and several warships started to move accordingly.
The warship slowly approached the island. The trees on the island seemed to be aware of the danger, and their branches and leaves began to shake.
The fog that shrouded the island also began to drift towards the warship.
According to Connie, these mists have the property of corrupting all living things and must not be touched.
If you touch someone,
you will die!
The boat encountered,
Will rot!
“Turn the helm!”
Aya held a telescope and looked at the fog on the island. Her face remained unchanged and she ordered methodically:
“Thirty degrees north, headwind. Raise the sails and speed up!”
The fleet moved in sequence, heading in the direction of the sea breeze, leaving the fog on the island behind.
The boat can travel against the wind and faster, but the fog obviously cannot, so we can only watch the wind from behind and sigh.
“Get on the deck!”
Aya shouted:
“Prepare the crossbow and kerosene, and follow my orders!”
“Yes! ”
On the warship, gun barrels were poked out one by one, and powerful crossbows were moved onto the deck, causing the hull to tilt slightly.
“Ready!”
“Let go!”
“Boom!”
Along with loud noises, the smoke from gunpowder explosion filled the air. One by one, wooden barrels and iron cans filled with kerosene fell towards the island.
"Turn!"
"Go forward one sea mile and prepare for the second wave!"
Aya took a deep breath and glanced at Karl above, a layer of sweat already appeared on her forehead beads.
She was not afraid, but distressed.
These things are all money.
A wave of at least hundreds of thousands of divine grace coins, and the entire city of Rapids is estimated to be something that only Karl can mobilize.
“Let it go!”
Thousands of barrels of kerosene crashed into the dense forest without causing much movement, and the trees on the island also became quiet.
It seems that he doesn’t quite understand the movements of the fleet.
A few hours later.
"Huh..."
Aya breathed a long sigh of relief, and her face condensed:
"Get ready!"
Giant crossbow arrows polished with flint into arrow tips. He was lifted up by the crew and placed on the crossbow.
Cannonballs are also stuffed into the barrel.
Everything is ready.
"Let go!"
"Boom!"
Thousands of crossbow arrows and cannonballs shot out from the fleet, arcing through the air and landing on the island above.
Next.
"Boom!"
The flames exploded.
The moment the flint comes into contact with the object, it turns into flames and explodes, and the cannonballs are like fireballs falling from the sky.
The fire oil that was thrown into the dense forest was also ignited. In just the blink of an eye, the flames ignited in the dense forest.
“Continue!”
Aya waved her hand:
"Adjust the position..."
"Put it down!"
"Collapse!"
"Bang!"
< br>
In three consecutive waves, the island near the coastline has been ignited with flames, and the raging flames are spreading towards the interior.
"Crash..."
Under the burning flames, the trees on the island were like creatures caught in the sea of fire, and began to struggle desperately.
Countless branches waved wildly, trying to extinguish the fire.
Rich sap seeped out from inside the trees, and thick water vapor was drawn from the ground by the giant trees toward the flames.
But
it’s useless!
"Zi..."
The burning sounds came one after another, and trees fell down in the flames, making explosive noises.
The giant tree’s move cannot be said to be wrong.
However, the sap and moisture of the tree itself have certain limits. Once dried by flames, the trees that have lost moisture become the best combustion aid.
Moreover, Aya chose the perfect location to set the fire. With the help of the wind, the flames on the island grew bigger and bigger.
"Boom!"
The island trembled.
The giant tree in the middle seemed to be roaring unwillingly, and the trees began to rush towards the flames.
They move slowly but inexorably.
“It’s useless.”
Standing on the magic flying carpet, Karl shook his head slightly:
“It is a dead object after all. Even at the late stage of the first level, this cannot be moved. Defects are doomed."
"Huh?"
"It turned out that I wanted to create a vacuum zone without combustibles. This thing is quite smart."
Divided from the middle of the island, some trees rushed toward the flames, while others slowly retreated backwards.
So.
A vacuum zone of a hundred meters long will be created, and the flames will have no way to continue to expand.
“What a pity!”
Karl shook his head:
"And I."
He stepped a little further, and the magic flying carpet took him to the sky above the island, and then crushed a talisman.
A series of fireballs!
Three fireballs as big as three meters fell from the sky, fell into the dense forest, exploded, and ignited a fire.
Witchcraft flames are more difficult to extinguish than ordinary flames. They are like viscous liquids that keep burning.
Furthermore,
Karl has more than one talisman on his body.
A series of fireballs!
A series of fireballs!
...
Six talismans in a row directly interrupted the plan of the giant tree on the island, and Karl did not intend to end it here, but took out a different talisman with a solemn expression.
Middle stage of the first level - continuous fireballs!
“Boom!”
“Boom…”
Six huge fireballs fell from the sky, like the fallen sun, and plunged into the dense forest.
In an instant.
The raging fire is difficult to contain.
"Crash..."
The branches and leaves trembled violently, as if telling some kind of desolation.
One tree after another died in the flames, and the giant tree in the middle could only sway feebly.
The water vapor extracted frantically turned into sparse raindrops and fell on the island, which was almost useless in extinguishing the flames.
"Crack!"
"Collapse!"
The branches burned in the flames, making a crisp sound.
The giant tree in the center of the island also began to appear charred black under the heat and flames.
“Get ready!”
Aya put away her telescope and raised her right hand high, preparing for the final attack on the trees on the island.
“Wait a minute.”
Karl suddenly spoke, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then controlled the magic flying carpet to fall towards the island.
At this time, the trees on the periphery of the island had been burned to ashes, and only a few roots buried deep in the earth were spared.
Sad!
Desolate!
Not willing to give in!
……
"Alive?"
Karl looked thoughtful, reached out and pulled out a few lifeless roots from under the ruins, and his five fingers turned into tentacles and pierced it.
He has not yet completed the first-level witchcraft Whisper of Life, but he has mastered the zero-level plant perception.
In an instant.
A weak thought emerged in my mind.
"Don't kill me!"
"I..."
"I don't want to die!"
…………
The once green island , now turned into a scorched black, only the middle of the island still retains a trace of green.
The giant tree more than 300 meters high has been broken, and the charred trees have turned into charcoal and are scattered nearby.
The tree trunk that is still more than ten meters away is full of traces of burning, and the few green buds that have regrown are its last struggle.
“I don’t want to die!”
The green buds trembled and made a sad plea:
“Please, don’t kill me, I am the only one left in this world. The tree is dead, please spare my life.”
"Why should I let you go?" Karl walked around the field, feeling the faint breath of life in front of him:
"Don't say anything about kindness or redemption..."
"Die here. There are countless people on the island, you devour them I never thought about being soft-hearted when we were young.”
“No! No!” Green Ya shook:
“I spend most of my time sleeping, reducing my consumption, and devouring humans... I don’t remember clearly.”
"Really?" Karl stopped:
"Do you think I believe it?"
The reason why he was willing to stop was because he was curious about the unexpected intelligent life form of the human race for the first time.
It is definitely not because of any pity, let alone the so-called sympathy.
“I didn’t lie to you.” Lu Ya’s voice was weak:
"How can you let me go?"
"Don't be so pitiful." Karl lowered his head and looked at the ground full of ashes, his voice indifferent:
"There are many tree roots in the ground. Although your strength is greatly reduced, you still have a chance to resist. >
The ground shook, as if there were countless earthworms squirming underneath, and the green bud seemed to be struggling.
It does have the ability to fight for its life.
But...
The other party dares to land on the island and points out his hidden methods. How many chances do you have left?
And,
There are still several warships on the sea. Even if you kill the man in front of you, how can you avoid the attack of the warships?
"Humanity."
The green bud hangs low and the voice is weak:
"I beg your forgiveness."
"I can forgive you. "Karl's eyes flashed, and a mark formed by mental power appeared out of thin air:
"But you need to put this thing into the core of your life."
"This is..." Lu Ya trembled:
"Soul Seal!"
"Huh? "Karl raised his eyebrows:
"You know?"
The soul seal, like the blood pill, comes from the witchcraft book of the 'Mother of All Spirits'. Does anyone in this world know it?
Wait a minute!
Karl squinted.
Alder tree?
This name seems to have appeared in the book The Wizard's Encyclopedia of Magic Plants, a special kind of magic plant.
Is it possible...
There is some connection between the two worlds?
“I don’t know.” The green bud shook, and his voice was blank:
“Existences like ours should inherit part of the memories of our ancestors, but because of this world, most of my memories are fragmented. It’s just that when I see something, my memory will automatically emerge.”
“In my memory, the soul mark comes from a certain terrifying existence, which enslaves many lives...”
>
At the end of the sentence, there was already a hint of fear in his voice.
“You don’t have to accept it.”
Karl raised his left hand, and a first-order talisman floated quietly:
“Two options, the same choice.”
Soul Seal,
Or death!
The green buds were still on the spot. At this moment, even the sea breeze seemed to be carrying a sense of desolation and deep unwillingness.
A long time.
Its voice is full of sadness:
“I choose the soul seal.”
"Very good!"
Karl smiled. He has been condensing soul seals with his mental power for some time, but he has never succeeded in controlling aliens.
This time I encounter a life form with intelligence, but I have a chance to succeed.
As the green bud opened its core of life, the soul mark sank into it, and soon a strange feeling came to Karl's mind.
Soul Seal,
complete!
Everything went very smoothly.
But if there is no other way to open the core of life, he may have to give up this method.
‘Soul Seal means control! ’
‘Controlling the life or death of other beings, under the suppression of the soul mark, the beings who were planted with the soul mark cannot even think of resisting. ’
‘This kind of control…’
‘It’s better to say it’s slavery than control! ”
“Forced servitude! ’
“But it’s not without cost. If your mental strength is not strong enough, you will probably suffer the backlash from the soul mark.”
Karl's eyes flashed, and he also felt that the inner sea of his spirit was bearing a certain pressure from the soul mark.
It is not easy for him now to enslave a late-stage first-order existence.
In particular, a eucalyptus tree with the potential to become a second-level or third-level tree occupies a large part of the mental power.
Next, let’s see how much benefit this late-stage first-order ‘plant’ can bring to him.
Karl calmed down and asked:
"Do you have a name?"
"No." The green bud shook:
"The eucalyptus tree is the name of our species."
"Master. ”
After accepting the soul mark, the eucalyptus tree took the initiative to show its kindness after knowing that it had no ability to resist, and its branches and leaves swayed:
"Under this island, there are some treasures that humans can use, as well as some broken ancient weapons."
"Weapons?" Karl lowered his head:
"This was once a battlefield? "
"No." The alder tree said:
"It's an arena."
Um?
Karl raised his eyebrows, and then he suddenly felt enlightened.
The island is sunken in the middle and surrounded by towering towers. The sunken area occupies a vast area and the towering area is in the shape of a staircase.
Isn’t it the shape of an arena?
“The gods of this world will let each other’s guardians fight here to please them.”
"The winner will be rewarded by the gods, and the loser will lose his life."
The tree said:
"Every guardian of the gods will be rewarded by the god who represents them." Proud of the final victory.”
?
Karl remembered that he was also a guardian.
In ancient times, when the gods were still there, the guardians were just tools they used for fun?
After thinking for a while, he asked:
"The guardian you are talking about, is it the mortal world or the sacred realm?"
There is a big difference between the two. , the guardians of the mortal world are only the knights of the Holy See, and the sanctuary is the residence of the gods.
“It’s a sanctuary.”
Lishu said:
"The arena will preserve the wonderful battles with photo stones. The people dueling here are all second and third level beings."
Third level!
It is definitely impossible to still be in the mortal world.
The gods actually allow third-level life duels to please themselves. How boring these ‘gods’ must be.
Karl stood among the ruins and looked around.
In a trance.
He seemed to see the gods sitting in the auditorium of the arena, looking excitedly at the guardians fighting in the arena.
These guardians of the gods have taken it as their duty to protect the gods since they were born, and they have worked hard to practice and become stronger.
They went through layers of selection in the mortal world and entered the temple.
He defeated many opponents in the temple and came to the divine realm.
Under the teachings of the gods, they learned the skills of the guardians. Is it possible that they are working so hard just to please some existence by dying in the arena one day?
"Gods..."
Karl sighed: "How ridiculous!"
"A long lifespan will make all new things repetitive and boring. Gods naturally I will try my best to have fun." The eucalyptus tree shakes its leaves:
"Master."
"This arena originally belonged to the God's Domain, but during the war of the gods, I fell from the God's Domain. I, who was still a sapling at the time, also landed on the island and took root until I came here. Until now."
"Well..." Karl thought for a while and asked:
"Since there are third-level guardians in the God's Domain, there should be methods for legendary knights to practice. Do you know?"
"This... "The eucalyptus tree hesitated for a moment:
"Master, I cannot practice the methods of human cultivation, even if they are passed down by gods."
"And this is an arena, not a martial arts arena, and the things in the shadow stone are not complete. I think Get up..."
“There is a method called Holy Breath, which seems to be a prize given by the gods to the winner who first enters the arena. Although it cannot advance the first-level life form, it can increase the strength of the guardian.”< br>
Karl’s eyes lit up.
“But there is a problem.”
The tree said again:
"Holy Breath is the way for guardians to practice. You must practice the guardian techniques before you can practice."
In order to prove its reliability, it has given up. In order to gain his own "shupin", he tried his best to gain Karl's trust.
Guardian skills?
The Giant Spirit Breathing Technique is it!
Karl couldn't help but smile on his face.
*
*
*
War energy comes from vitality.
The stronger the vitality, the stronger the fighting spirit.
Once you advance to the legendary knight, because the essence of life is improved, the fighting spirit will also undergo essential changes.
And Holy Breath,
can be improved again on this basis.
“Melting your own fighting will with your physical body and fighting spirit together, and then achieve a qualitative change.”
"Powerful guardians, their fighting spirit often has the ability to defeat demons, and they can restrain all kinds of mysterious means. Their defense power is even more terrifying. Even if they are hit by weapons made by gods, they may not break the defense."
< br>"The key is the will to fight..."
Karl held a photo stone in his hand, his eyes flickering back and forth.
Inside the Shadow Stone, several second-level guardians were fighting fiercely.
There is obviously some kind of barrier in the arena that limits their destructive power, but it still makes Carl's heart tremble.
One of the guardians was wearing golden armor and holding a spear. A thrust of the spear seemed to be able to pierce the void.
The other guardian's upper body was naked, and the dragon with fighting energy gathered around him, spinning around and roaring at the opponent.
Although the remaining people are not as strong as these two, they each have their own methods.
The battle between them was not as brilliant and subtle as that of wizards, but more of a bloody fight between knights.
Power!
speed!
Tricks!
With that terrifying explosive power, Karl had no doubt that the second-level Addison could be easily torn apart by them.
This is only the second-level guardian...
“What a pity!”
"The Picture Stone has been damaged and the time has passed too long. There are not many things that can be seen inside."
"In addition..."
"What is the will to fight?"
Karl frowned.
If you cannot understand the will to fight, you will not be able to practice the holy breath, and you will not be able to advance your fighting spirit.
The fragments of the divine domain can add points and give him absolute sanity, but they cannot help him understand this elusive will to fight.
“Fight!”
“It’s not in line with my character to learn my knight’s way from fighting, but it’s not impossible.”
“Wait until I master it. After getting the Holy Breath, you should be able to go to the Pirate Island.”
He has not forgotten that the Pirate Island Tortuga is known to contain treasures collected by countless pirates.
There are dozens of great graces on the island.
Don’t miss it no matter what!
…………
Because of the discovery of mineral veins and the suspected existence of a demiplane, the Leipzig market became restless.
There were even people from other markets coming.
Karl paced and came to the 'Golden Broom Magic Cottage' run by the Nelson family.
“Wizard Enid!”
In the corner of the shop, Enid, who was weaving a magic cloak, raised her head when she heard the sound, with a smile on her face:
“Karl, you Why do you have time to come here today?”
“I didn’t figure out a few questions about flying last time, so I came here while walking.”
"Are you making an invisibility cloak?"
"Yes."
Enid put down what she was holding:
"The buyer asked for fire-resistant materials. , you know, there are more people going to that mine recently."
"Even Bourne went there."
"Really?" Carl was stunned:
"I thought he was just talking, but I didn't expect to actually leave."
"I went yesterday." Enid sighed:
"I advised him not to be impulsive, but he wanted to give it a try. No matter what happens, he can accumulate some knowledge for his grandson."
The grandson of Wizard Bourne has wizard talent and is currently an intermediate wizard. Apprentice, it is unlikely that he will become an official wizard in the future.
It is probably because of this that a lot of Byrne's seniors will come out.
“Forget it.”
Waving her hand, Enid said:
“Let’s not mention him anymore. You said there is a problem with flying skills and you haven’t figured it out. It just so happens that I have nothing to do and can help you answer it.”
“That’s it.” Karl calmed down and asked the questions about flying one by one.
The Thunder Wings he practiced also belonged to the category of flying, and these issues were interrelated.
"So that's it."
Not long after.
Karl's face showed a sudden realization:
"Speaking of mineral veins, it is said that there is a demiplane, which involves existences of the third level and above."
"Yes." Enid nodded:
"But the better the thing, the greater the danger."
"That's right." Carl agreed and asked:
"Wizard Enid, I have just become a wizard and am not familiar with the fighting between wizards. Is there any way to improve the fighting experience?"
"This..." Enid hesitated. After a moment, he said:
"Yes, there is, but it is more dangerous."
"Oh!" Karl perked up:
"Tell me and listen."
…………
Nelson is the wizard of the Andrew family, responsible for running the family business and selling various witchcraft equipment.
This day.
A strong man wearing a black robe came to the store.
“I want a Nev Mirror.”
The big man said in a deep voice:
“The highest grade one!”
"Guest." Without waiting for the people below to greet him, Nelson stood up hurriedly and took the initiative to greet him:
"The Nev Mirror is a unique magic weapon of the Andrew family. Are you sure you want the highest one? That kind?"
"Huh?" Han tilted his head, his eyes deep under his black robe:
“You doubt that I can’t afford it?”
“No!” Nielsen’s face turned pale. As a mid-level first-order wizard, his face He felt a sense of fear towards the other party and hurriedly said:
"Because what enters the magic mirror is mental power. Once you are injured in the illusion, the body will also be injured, and some people even die in the illusion."
"Especially the one with the highest grade, it is easy to Hurt yourself.”
"It doesn't matter." The big man said in a dull voice:
"I know what I am doing."
"Yes, yes." Nielsen smiled awkwardly, beckoned for someone to bring the magic mirror, and at the same time Introduction:
"Nightmare wizards can use people's memories to weave illusions. The stronger the strength, the more realistic the illusions created."
"Our family once had a late first-order wizard named Nev. On the basis of the magic mirror, A Nev Mirror has been developed that can create all kinds of powerful magic inside it Creatures or opponents, for others to practice witchcraft.”
“The highest level can be used for wizards in the middle and late stages of the first level to practice. They only need to provide magic stones. This is our store. The only one in it, the price is... five thousand magic stones."
Five thousand magic stones!
The price of inherited witchcraft!
The big man's breathing seemed to pause, and then he threw a bag half a person's height over.
"Look at what's inside."
"This..." Nielsen's eyes flashed and he took a step forward:
"Yes."
Analysis!
The aura of witchcraft shrouded the bag, and the ingredients of the contents were revealed to his perception, causing his complexion to change slightly.
"Bone powder that can cause hallucinations, but what kind of magical creature is this..."
Something like white moth powder, but a little different, but it can cause hallucinations and is a witchcraft material Not fake.
“Take it or not?”
“Take it!” Nielsen nodded immediately:
"Of course I'll accept it, but the maximum number of these is more than two thousand magic stones."
"Peng!"
The tabletop shook.
Another bag filled with unknown bone meal was thrown in front of him, which made Nelson's expression change slightly.
“It should be no problem to change your Nev Mirror, right?”
"This..." Nelson's eyes flashed:
"No problem!"
Two bags of bone meal, which is still a little short of the five thousand magic stones, but he has decided to do this business.
Soon.
Watching the big man leave, a young wizard apprentice came over:
"Uncle, we have never seen the bone meal this man brought out, and the quantity is so large. He must have discovered a place that no one knows about, and there may even be unknown species. Do you want to..."
" What are you thinking about?" Nelson looked over coldly:
"The Nev Magic Mirror that can use this quality must be in the middle stage of a wizard, and may even be a late-stage great wizard." >
"Yes." The young wizard apprentice looked embarrassed and lowered his head in response.
Nelson snorted.
There was something he didn't say.
When he faced the big man in black robe just now, he felt a palpitation in his heart. It was the oppressive feeling that was suspected of the second-ring witchcraft fear halo.
Second Ring Witchcraft!
Even if you go by yourself, you are probably courting death.
Although shops occasionally do some shady business, they must keep their eyes open, otherwise they will die without knowing how.
"Don't think too much, just do business well. Thinking about what you have and what you don't have may hurt yourself."
"Yes."
The young wizard apprentice should Yes:
“I know.”
Please collect it! ! !
