The sun is high - #117 - Chapter 116 White Frost

Human beings are actually very proud.

Any cautious and calm person will more or less show some contemptuous emotions and attitudes when facing “less than human” life, but sometimes, this attitude will appear as love and compassion. Sometimes it turns into cruelty and cruelty.

But now, Wei Lin realized that her knowledge of these rats was still insufficient after all.

She underestimated these ugly, deformed little things.

Faced with the deadly threat posed by the billowing flames, these mutilated rats that had lost their eyes still made the most correct choice in the shortest time.

They ignored those of the same kind who were swallowed up the moment the flames broke out, but they did not give up resistance and struggle. When the flames came, they gathered together decisively and instinctively formed this weird meat ball.

In the burning of the flames, those rats on the outermost periphery naturally turned into a faint mist in the flames. However, as more and more rats disappeared, the magical mist transformed by their bodies became thicker and thicker. , in the end, the condensed mist turned into a rough barrier, isolating the incoming flames.

Perhaps, for such creatures, the instinct to survive is a special kind of wisdom.

There were still pages of magic books arranged in the first section of the corridor, so under Weilin’s instructions, the “Concussion Blade” specially used to break through metal shields and heavy armor was first activated, and only a harsh buzzing sound was heard. , in the constantly flickering firelight, a translucent sharp blade like a scimitar was formed out of thin air. It was constantly trembling, like a sound wave with extremely high frequency, and when it flew forward, whether it was flying flames or The billowing smoke disintegrated and separated around it.

The fog that shrouded the huge “rat ball” was naturally unable to block this level of magic. In front of the vibrating sound wave, all the magic fog was easily separated, and then the sharp blade cut through it lightly and quickly. Into the middle of that giant rat ball.

As if cutting a snowball with a blazing knife, all the rats standing in front of the magic blade turned into nothingness. They didn’t even have a chance to dissipate, and were shaken into pieces by the high-speed oscillating sound waves. powder.

The blind mice that were entangled and hugging each other had no idea what was happening around them. They could only feel that there seemed to be an unusually bright magic power sweeping past them, and a large number of their kind disappeared on the spot. The condensed sphere also began to shake.

At this time, a new wave of rats had begun to pour into the corridor. Weilin waited quietly for more than ten seconds. When the rats refilled half of the corridor, the last magic set in the wall began to take effect immediately.

A bone-chilling chill began to emerge, and the hoarfrost that was enough to freeze magic power and freeze the body began to spread rapidly. In just a few breaths, those pale colors covered the entire corridor, and the terrifying low temperature extinguished all the previous flames. In this space, all the power began to transform towards the icy cold mist. This magic was the personal magic created by Weilin when she was participating in the lake-level mage assessment – “Cold Pool”.

In normal times, using this magic requires taking huge risks. Although the “Cold Pool” has long been engraved in Weilin’s memory and spirit, this does not change the harsh conditions for the use of this magic.

However, after it was successfully imprinted into the pages of the magic book, neither the time required to cast the spell nor the external risks required when outputting magic power were no longer a problem.

Wei Lin can even forcibly speed up the spread of hoarfrost and the speed of freezing through excessive injection of magic power.

The power brought by lake-level magic naturally far exceeds that of other magics. When the magic effectiveness is fully exerted, the entire corridor will have no other color except clean white.

The rats that filled the ground, the mottled traces left by various magics on the walls, and even the magical mist that had been floating in the air, all turned into snow particles under the action of the “Cold Pool” With the ice sculptures, the door leading to the spiral staircase is now even more tightly sealed by ice.

After completing the guidance and release of this magic, Weilin couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

She put aside the high-quality magic crystal in her hand that had been drained of any magic power, and then took out a new crystal and began to continuously absorb the magic power from it.

At the same time, the mage’s hands held up the two magic books, and more pages of the magic books were torn out and began to be rearranged in the corridor.

After the previous two rounds of attacks by the rat tide, Weilin had a deeper understanding of the enemy she was facing.

The magic power continued to enter Weilin’s body from the magic crystals, but was quickly consumed along the pages of the magic book and the arrangement of the magic threads. Feeling the changes in the magic power stock in her body, Weilin couldn’t help but turn her head and glance at 508 The closed door of room No.

“I hope you can hurry up…”

…

At this time, Xiuge’s “dream” is still continuing.

After experiencing that long-lasting war and “dying” in the war, Xiuge discovered that all the images in the dream had disappeared.

The waves, the battlefield, the giant beasts, the corpses… all the contents turned into a black void. Now Xiuge couldn’t feel his body at all, but his consciousness and spirit were extremely clear.

This feeling is like suffering from a nightmare, which is very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this oppressive darkness did not last long.

Gradually, Xiuge caught a faint light in this dark world.

At first, the light spot was so far away that it was almost impossible to identify it.

But as time passed little by little, the light began to slowly approach him, and as the distance between the two parties shortened, the light and shadow gradually became brighter and clearer.

Finally, it came to Xiuge.

Xiuge was surprised by the light in front of him. He originally thought he would see a bright light and wake up completely from his dream, but now he realized that it was really just a point of light, a light suspended in the vast darkness. point.

He carefully studied this nearby light spot and felt that it seemed to be slowly changing its outline. However, no matter how hard Xiuge tried, he could never identify the specific image of this light spot.

“What exactly is this?”

He asked doubtfully in his heart, but in the next moment, something even more shocking happened to him.

He saw the light flash suddenly, and then an extremely surprised old voice came into Xiuge’s mind: “Huh? Who are you?”

Xiuge was also startled, so as his emotions fluctuated, the distance between him and the light spot was immediately widened.

Seeing such a scene, Xiuge seemed to understand something, so he calmed down and took the initiative to “lean” towards the light spot again.

After it was placed next to the light spot again, Shuge tried to announce his name in his heart: “I am Shuge, Shuge Ernst.”

“Ha, it’s you!”

The owner of the old voice obviously knew this name, and then Xiuge heard him say: “I just thought it was strange, when did we have such a young member among us…”

“you are?”

“Jacob Ernst.”

The light spot trembled for a moment, and then his name was announced.

“really……”

Shuge breathed a sigh of relief. He had just guessed that he was now in the continuation of the dream, but that dream was constructed by the will of many members of the Ernst family, so this wonderful thing appeared before him. situation.

He remembered that “Jacob Ernst” was Old Zeke’s grandfather. According to the seniority system he was familiar with, it seemed that he should call him “great-great-grandfather”… However, Shuge was not familiar with the Luowei Plateau. He didn’t know much about the aristocratic rules, so he chose the safest way of addressing him at this moment.

“Mr. Jacob, what’s going on here now?”

“This is our dream…the dream that all of us came together to form.”

Jacob slowly explained: “In the past, every time we were affected by the secret ceremony, we would have similar dreams. In the dreams, sometimes we would become those mouse soldiers, and sometimes we would become the soldiers’ mounts. Occasionally, we can still serve as priests…but we often can’t persist in that dream for too long, that kind of battlefield is too intense.”

The light spot in the darkness flickered, and Jacob’s voice came next: “The longer you persist in the dream, the faster you can wake up from the dream… Oh, young people are better than us. These old men are energetic. It is obviously the first time they have touched the power of the secret ritual, but they are able to wake up at such a fast speed…”

“So now we have to wait for the others to wake up?”

“Yes.”

Jacob responded: “In order to make the information and revelations we get from the secret ritual clearer, we can only choose this method, otherwise you may not see anything useful based on our individual memories alone. thing.

While they were talking, more light spots appeared in the darkness in front of him, and one of them quickly came closer. Then Shuge heard the rough voice of General Bernhardt: “Damn it, I thought this was… This time I was able to persist longer than before, but the results were not as good as the last time.”

“You are old.”

Jacob said calmly: “Unlike this young man, the first time he touched the dream, I am afraid he has already achieved results far beyond ours.”

Hearing the two old men talking like this, Xiuge asked: “What will happen if you fail too quickly in the dream?”

“The faster you fail, the longer it will take to wake up from your dream.”

Bernhardt explained: “If you come here a few more times, I’m afraid you won’t be able to distinguish between dreams and reality. At that time, I’m afraid you will become like Ludwig, completely lost in the power of the secret ritual. Dreaming it over and over again, you can never break away.”

At this moment, more faint light points lit up in this void of darkness. Xiuge roughly counted and found that there were nearly twenty light points here, which meant that from the dark sun I am afraid that there are not a few family members who have successfully escaped from the secret ritual of the association and retreated to the five underground floors. Moreover, this is the result of a round of internal cleaning. If the losses over the years are eliminated, I am afraid that they can gather in There will be more family members here.

Alexandra’s gentle voice floated slowly from a distance, and at this moment, the legendary countess’ voice trembled slightly.

“Little Christina couldn’t hold on…she flamed out.”

Following Alexandra’s words, Shuge saw that a faint light in the far distance gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared into the deep darkness.

“Then we need to end it quickly, her rats will go crazy and we need to deal with it quickly.”

Bernhardt’s tone was shockingly calm. It was obvious that he had long been used to the loss of his kind. For a moment, Shuge even felt that even if the old guy was trapped in the dream of the secret ritual, he would still Will calmly accept others’ “handling” of themselves.

“Um.”

Alexandra responded softly, and then she turned to Shuge and asked: “How was it? Did you gain anything?”

“Yes, and it’s very rewarding.”

Shuge nodded: “But I still need some time to understand them.”

“That’s good.”

Alexandra sighed, and the surrounding light spots representing souls began to flicker at a specific frequency. These light spots gradually merged into one, dispelling all the darkness of nothingness, and at the same time wrapping Xiuge’s consciousness in Among them.

With a slight tingling sensation, Xiuge woke up from his dream. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the sounds of biting and scuffling coming from the room. He saw a group of rats in the corner twisting into a ball, among which Some rats have been mercilessly strangled by their own kind.

Obviously, that “Christina” has now been completely cleaned up.

After dealing with the things in the room, the rats harboring the will of the Ernst family members did not stay. They quickly disappeared into the corner of the room as if they had received unified orders, and then Shuge Then I heard a series of small sounds coming from the corridor outside room 508.

Obviously, at this moment, the rats attacking the fifth underground floor had pressed into the second half of the corridor. Xiuge could even feel the violent fluctuations caused by the constant collision of traces of many different magics in the air.

“It seems that we have to wait until later to talk about anything… Now, let us clean up the five underground floors first.”

Xiuge sighed, and the metal disc in the spiritual world accelerated slightly. While his spirit was invigorated, a strange-looking revolver appeared in his palm, as if he felt the breath of prey. The roar of a hound could be faintly heard among the dark patterns, and the terrifying intimidation made Alexandra, who was sitting in the room, couldn’t help but tremble.
