Chapter 726 The Dark Lord and the Ring of Nagas (II)
Arcadion City-Snake Bone Avenue.
Snake Bone Avenue, as the central main road of Arcadian City, runs through the entire city. Its atmosphere is both majestic and full of danger.
The architectural styles on both sides of the avenue are unique. Ancient snake spirit carvings are entangled on the exterior walls and pillars of the buildings. Each carved snake statue is lifelike, as if it would slide quietly under the cover of the night. Coiled in the air.
The surface of each building is carved with snake runes and totems of ancient magic, giving the entire street a unique sense of majesty and mystery.
In the center of Snake Bone Avenue, the most eye-catching thing is the towering Serpentis Academy's Snake Spirit Tower.
The tower looks like a giant snake coiling up into the sky.
The entire Snake Bone Avenue air is filled with a faint moist smell, giving people a feeling of mystery and danger.
On both sides of the street are many famous magic workshops, staff shops and branch research institutes of the academy. The whole avenue exudes an ancient and majestic atmosphere.
Famous magic shops such as 'Elosak's Staff Shop' also occupy a place on this street. The top wizards and scholars of the Naga Ring gather on the Snake Bone Avenue, becoming the Snake The center of quasi-magic.
At this time, in a remote alley on Snake Bone Avenue, the air suddenly began to tremble slightly. Along with a low buzzing sound, a space distortion ring with the [∞] symbol flashing appeared in the sky above the alley.
Ripples spread from around the symbol, and the film of reality is being forcibly torn open.
As the ripples expanded, a tall and slender figure fell from the ripples.
"It's really bumpy..." the figure whispered, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
He stood up slowly, his figure upright, his black trench coat fluttering slightly in the night wind.
He wore a slightly tilted black top hat, and his short blond hair was vaguely visible under the top hat.
In his right hand, he held a slender silver wand, a wand of about 15 inches. The handle was engraved with a delicate pattern of angel wings, exuding a faint silver light.
Pa bang bang~~
The man gently patted the dust on his windbreaker, his movements leisurely and calmly.
Xia Xiu straightened the slightly crooked black top hat, slowly raised his eyes and looked at the sky.
At this time, night enveloped the city of Arcadian, and three moons hung high in the sky.
The first moon - emitting a strange dark green light.
The second moon - the silvery white light is like silverware.
The third moon - it is blood red, giving people an ominous omen.
However, behind the three-wheeled moon, Xia Xiu's eyes were focused on the translucent barrier that vaguely enveloped the entire Naga Ring - the crystal wall.
That is the crystal wall system of the Naga Ring, which is used to isolate the connection between the planes and protect this plane from outside interference.
Just now, Xia Xiu relied on the power of [Heaven's Lever] to tear open a crack in the crystal wall, but now the crack is slowly healing, and the surface of the crystal wall is gently undulating like water waves, emitting a weak energy pulse.
Xia Xiu stared at the cracks in the sky that were gradually healing, and murmured to himself:
"Even if he knew the coordinates, relying on the lever of the sky and the apostle form, he could barely open a gap and squeeze through. Come in... No wonder the living gods from all over the world rarely come to the plane. These crystal walls are not only divided into inner and outer walls, but also have specific magic filtering systems for high-level thaumaturges."
He stood in the narrow alley, frowning slightly and scanning the surroundings like a hawk.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared behind him.
The purple-gold incarnation appeared in the dim alley, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly.
As soon as [Sisyphus] appeared, Xia Xiu was keenly aware of the slight disorder in the EVE particle field. The magical energy in the air was no longer in its original smooth state, but became subtle and unstable.
Above the sky, the inner crystal wall began to show some reactions.
This inner crystal wall is like a transparent film, covering the sky above the Ring of Nagas.
The purpose of its existence is not only to isolate invasion from the outside world, but more importantly, to filter and weaken powerful magical energy, especially those with extraordinary power [Master], and even thaumaturges above the Master
Once powerful magic fluctuations affect the stability of the plane, the crystal wall will produce a rejection reaction - a spontaneous defense mechanism.
It can sense the surge of external magical power in an instant, and weaken and block it through a series of complex mechanisms.
At this moment, in the entire observation tower of Arcadian City, wizards of various colors have sensed the abnormal fluctuations in the crystal wall.
The expressions of the wizards in the tower suddenly changed. They stood up in a hurry and nervously checked the magic instruments.
They knew very well that this kind of fluctuation meant that an extremely powerful force was breaking through the crystal wall mechanism of the plane.
Every wizard's face is full of vigilance in the face of a powerful enemy.
The wizards acted quickly, mounted their broomsticks and flew towards the sky.
They hold a compass-style magic prop in their hands, which is a detector that can capture powerful magic fluctuations.
The wizards shuttled nervously through the night sky, and the compass needle rotated rapidly, pointing to the area where the alley was located.
Xia Xiu stood in the alley, looking up at the sky, his eyes calm and unhurried, [Presence Weakening Mi Mu] covered his whole body, and all his energy was hidden.
咻咻咻——
咻咻咻——
咻咻咻——
Above Xia Xiu, three wizards were seen hovering Directly above him, the compass in his hand was rotating crazily, and the pointer was swinging violently, showing that there had been extremely strong magic fluctuations nearby.
But the strange thing is that although their magic compasses point crazily in the direction of the alley, the wizards can't find the source of the fluctuations.
Xia Xiu gently rubbed his chin and muttered in his heart:
"The inner crystal wall has a sophisticated filtering and weakening system for powerful magical energy, especially the fluctuations of the master's incarnation. Specially marked. It seems that the version environment here is not very friendly to the thaumaturges from Terra. The incarnation of the master has been moved, and these old wizards are a bit unable to play."
Xia Xiu. Although [Dominator Incarnation] can be used, once the overload exceeds the setting of the crystal wall system, it will be locked and suppressed by the entire crystal wall.
Of course there is no problem in a head-on confrontation at his current level, but he is prone to crazy counterattacks from the entire plane system and wizards.
However, the entire hundred-layer world has one set of crystal wall systems after another. Each crystal wall system has a specific control mechanism, and these specific mechanisms form a unified large mechanism. If a few more sets of crystal wall systems were superimposed, and a few legendary wizards from the Hundred-layer World were sent to lead the team, the intensity would be raised to the highest level.
Moreover, if they forcibly expelled him from the Hundred-layer World, there was really nothing he could do to stop them.
"There's really a bit of hide-and-seek in it, and I feel like the more I live, the more like a villain I am." He couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
In the alley, Xia Xiu stood in the dim shadows, so quiet that he seemed to be integrated with the darkness.
His golden eyes flickered slightly in the night, calm and sharp, and he looked up at the three wizards hovering in the sky.
Even though he was standing directly below them, only a few meters away, the wizards did not notice him at all. Their eyes passed directly through his body and landed on the empty space. on the ground, as if there was no one there.
On the sky, the broomsticks of the three wizards were hovering quietly, the magic compass in their hands was rotating violently, and the pointer kept pointing to the alley below, showing that there had been extremely strong magic fluctuations here. .
However, although their instruments undoubtedly indicated that the source of the abnormality was here, the wizards' eyes were full of confusion and confusion.
“It’s strange, the fluctuation obviously comes from this area, why can’t I find anyone?”
A silver-robed wizard frowned, with a hint of anxiety in his voice. He muttered in a low voice, the compass in his hand kept flashing a faint silver light, and the pointer moved wildly.
"Is it some kind of advanced concealment technique? Or is it a concealment technique?" The second red-robed wizard's voice was filled with confusion, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes. His eyes kept wandering in the alley below, scanning every corner, trying to find any clues in the shadows.
"Perhaps there are some special traces of magic, or... the fluctuation itself has disappeared? Let's check elsewhere." The third red-robed wizard muttered unwillingly, the compass in his hand still trembling violently. The pointer was firmly locked on the position of the alley below, but he was at a loss as to what to do, as if this space was hiding some kind of truth from them.
The wizards hovered in the air, their robes fluttering in the breeze, bringing a hint of night chill.
The silver-robed wizard frowned, but a complicated expression appeared on his face.
He glanced at the compass and said with a sigh of relief: "It's actually good that we didn't find him..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two red-robed wizards understood his meaning instantly. Yes, if they really find the source of the fluctuation, perhaps the outcome of the three of them is destined to be dead here.
The unknown power is far beyond their understanding and control.
"So the prophecy of the Dark Lord is true..." The second red-robed wizard changed the topic, with a hint of panic in his tone.
"Have you all received the rumored letter from the guardian of the Kailasel family in the Snake Spirit Crystal Wall Council? That letter is simply like a roaring letter, hysterical, like crazy..."
"Shut up! Don't make unreasonable remarks about the Dark Lord and the Auror family!"
The silver-robed wizard interrupted him sternly, with a hint of caution in his voice.
He looked around alertly, as if to prevent some dangerous eyes and ears from spying on them secretly.
"The Kailasel family controls the Serpent Wall and the Book of Sages. They are the masters of the plane and control everything in the Ring of Naga. Our duty is to obey their orders."
The silver-robed wizard paused, with some complex emotions flashing in his eyes, and continued:
"Moreover, even if the Dark Lord comes, Kailasel, who possesses the Book of Sages, is not afraid of him. The sages of the Hundred-layer World will not let the Dark Lord do whatever he wants. We only need to follow the instructions, don't Take it upon yourself.”
None of the three wizards found anything unusual in the end, even though their compasses almost exploded.
But they still didn't realize that the target they were pursuing was standing calmly right below them, as if the laws of the entire city were unable to detect his existence.
The compass pointer above my head rotates crazily, as if trying to break through the frame of the compass.
Every second, the wizards' compasses remind them that some powerful being has been here before, and may even still be nearby.
But even so, their eyes never fell on Xia Xiu.
The three of them looked down blindly in the air, as if looking for an invisible ghost.
"It's okay, let's withdraw."
The silver-robed wizard sighed. Although his heart was still full of doubts and uneasiness, he obviously didn't want to stay in this weird place anymore.
He patted the broomstick gently and signaled his companions to evacuate.
The red-robed wizards nodded, reluctantly glanced at the compass in their hands that was still vibrating violently, and finally followed the silver-robed wizard reluctantly and quickly flew into the distance.
Xia Xiu stood quietly in the shadow of the alley, with a calm and thoughtful light in his eyes.
His figure is like a part of the night, perfectly integrated into this ancient and mysterious city, as if he never belonged here.
The three moons above his head exuded their own brilliance. The faint silver, dark green and blood red lights intertwined in the sky, illuminating the entire city of Arcadian and reflecting his thoughts.
He quickly sorted out the next action plan in his mind, accurately and methodically.
The first step is to deeply understand the rules and human geography of the Hundred Layers World.
Although he is in the wizarding world, he has already felt the specialness of this plane - especially the strict protection of the wizarding laws and crystal wall system. But only by personally understanding the ecology and unique rules of these planes can he be more comfortable in his next actions.
"Human geography and related rules."
He thought silently in his heart, knowing that he must first blend into the social system of these wizards, especially the academy system in this city of Arcadian , which is the center for mastering snake magic and rules, and many secrets are hidden in those thick academies.
His original purpose of coming here was to "reproduce" some of the hundred-layer world's academy knowledge one-to-one.
"Second point," Xia Xiu's eyes turned slightly cold, "hunt down the three wizards related to the Gray Harbor incident."
He has never forgotten the chaos and sacrifices caused by those wizards in Gray Harbor.
This is one of the main purposes of his coming here.
His golden pupils flashed dangerously.
"The third step..."
Xia Xiu raised his brows slightly, and his original itinerary came to his mind - to learn about wands and related spells in the wizarding world.
Find those ancient wand crafts and magic books, and absorb their knowledge into the Third House system under your control.
In the follow-up, there will be a series of things including the First Class Merlin Medal, talent discovery, potion manufacturing and so on.
However, what he has to do now is to integrate into the Hundred Layer World first.
