The sun is high - #419 - Chapter 418 Lock and Key

Ever since Shuge came into this world and came into contact with the extraordinary powers from ancient times, the metal disc as the carrier of magic and creation has always been covered with a hazy veil that is difficult to explore.

At first, Xiuge’s attention to the disk itself was very limited. In those critical situations, he would always pay more attention to the specific power he could mobilize and control. As for the metal disk itself and the inside of the disk Those precise and complex mechanical structures are regarded by Xiuge as part of some unspeakable lost ritual.

Now, the will and power derived from the magic goddess Mel, as well as the fragmentary words spoken by the invisible wolf projection, have finally unveiled the hazy fog covering the mysterious disk.

As Theseus pulled the magic pages, the large number of lines engraved on these pages began to change in a way that was contrary to common sense. They were pulled out from the inside of the physical pages, and the magic paper as a carrier was disturbed. Turning into powder and ashes in the endless shadows.

“What you see is just one of the forms of the ‘carrier’.”

As Theseus transformed and pulled these magic lines, his explanations were constantly introduced into Xiuge’s mind.

“The fundamental reason why the projection of the mad dog called you a ‘pure descendant’ is that there is indeed an extremely pure ‘framework’ deep in your body and spirit.”

“My mentor, she successfully summarized and extracted such a set of rules during the process of contact and integration with the endless magic power.”

“It not only applies to those gods who were once active in Van En, but also applies to every living being that breathes and moves in Van En.”

Complex messages were beating at extremely fast speeds in Shuge’s mind. These words from Theseus clearly revealed the nature of the “metal disk” to Shuge.

“It is a solid foundation, a solid framework, and a broad carrier that can support almost all creations and operating methods… It is pure, but extremely follows order, so in your eyes, it appears as a mechanical dial. structure.”

In the words of Theseus, Shuge waved his trembling arm again. As the flickering sword moved, another blue magic line appeared under the twisted limbs. among the shadows.

So, as the behemoth pressed down, an astonishing impact occurred again. When the thin line compressed and condensed by a large amount of magic exploded, countless dark crystal fragments came from near the “scar” of the limb. When bursting out, destructive chaotic magic power continued to escape from the inside of these fragments like blood, disturbing the already unpeaceful space around them.

Such a scene was even more tragic than before, but by constantly squeezing and overdrafting the magic power in his body, Xiuge finally succeeded in attracting the attention of the invisible wolf and brought it to him. Additional shocks and disasters that came were resolved to the minimum level.

From Shuge’s own point of view, this approach is obviously somewhat unnecessary. He can further retain these precious gifts from Mel and use them in possible subsequent troubles.

However, when Xiuge gained control of this remaining power, he could very clearly feel the deepest thoughts and beliefs that belonged to the original owner of this power.

Of course, Shuge did this as a matter of course.

Even Theseus, who always liked to ridicule and criticize in these aspects, did not say much this time. He even showed a faint hint of approval and approval.

The precise magic threads are constantly beating and flashing around Xiuge. Most of the lines have been finalized, but the center position of Xiuge has undergone new changes.

Next to Xiuge, a group of silver patterns were constantly combining and intertwining.

These sparkling lines of magic come from several special magic pages.

Those are the ancient rituals and magic that Wei Lin analyzed and restored from “The Poem of the Night”. Now, these special ancient lines are being rapidly reorganized under the control of Theseus, and they are imprinted on the space next to Xiuge. Among them, a strange shape like a key was formed.

At this time, Xiuge’s intention was already very obvious, and the invisible wolf was already aware of it, so it immediately launched a more fierce and brutal attack in Xiuge’s direction without waiting for the scars on its limbs to be repaired. .

The blue magic power used to resist these attacks became increasingly dim and weak. Although the speed of the metal disc had been increased to the extreme, the magic power squeezed out of it could no longer keep up with Xiuge’s current consumption rate.

Therefore, in the series of attacks launched by the invisible wolf, Shuge finally reached his limit.

The magic explosion occurred again over the completely destroyed square. Under the unimaginable violent shock, the black sun scepter that had been accompanying Xiuge for a long time was finally overwhelmed, and the magic light and shadow surrounding it was impacting. It was completely shattered, and the patterns used to carry magic were destroyed and smoothed.

Blood gushed out from Xiuge’s palm, and scarlet traces rolled down along the deformed cane, sketching a tragic picture.

“It’s time to pull out the gun.”

At this time, Theseus’s preparations were finally completed. At his prompting, Shuge let go of the cane that could no longer be used as a magic medium, and instead took out the “Hound’s Tooth” from nothingness.

“Remember what I told you before? The power of the hounds can travel through different time and space and be used to open channels connecting different worlds… Now, it is time to use it.”

The mist belonging to Theseus wrapped around Shuge’s arm, slightly stabilizing his trembling body due to the forcelessness. Then, the silver key pattern coiled around Shuge shattered into dots of brilliance. , they rushed towards the “Hound’s Teeth” in Shuge’s hand, and together with the blood on Shuge’s palm, they painted delicate patterns on the surface of the dark purple spar of the pistol.

Over the square, the shadow of the invisible wolf rolled down again.

In the night sky behind this shadow, crystallized cannonballs continued to streak across, leaving pale traces that looked somewhat similar to meteors.

Time is almost stagnant at this moment.

Xiuge raised his hand and pulled the trigger against the shadow falling towards him.

Just like someone smashed the gorgeous glass window with a stone, a strange sound echoed under the night sky at this moment. It was so clear and loud that it even covered up all the sounds on this land.

The sound of shells exploding, people crying and cursing, the sound of buildings collapsing…

All sounds were annihilated at this moment.

In a wilderness far away from Watch City, Weilin hid on the edge of a forest, staring blankly at the sky above Watch City.

In her arms, a soft translucent shadow was trembling violently. Justina was already wrapped in strong fear. As a special individual composed of the color of life and the power of the dark abyss, it simply could not He was unwilling and unable to face the devastating shock coming from the distance.

Until the crisp cracking sound sounded.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the terrifying cracks and shadows occupying the sky of Watch City suddenly disappeared without a trace. It seemed that some force had completely destroyed the door that brought despair and death, and removed the door that symbolized despair and death. The shadow of destruction is returned to where it belongs.

An extremely gloomy emotion settled in Weilin’s heart like mud and stone. It was so heavy that it even suppressed all the outlets she used to vent her emotions.

She looked at the chaotic traces left by the crystallized cannonballs in the sky. It was extremely difficult and painful to extract the remaining logic and reason from her viscous sensibility. Then she slowly lowered her head and looked at her arms. The strange creation entrusted to him by Shuge.

To her relief, this little thing that had a close magical connection with Shuge was still active at this moment.

So Weilin put her palm on its body and slowly transferred some magic power to it.

After Justina calmed down a little, Weilin opened her mouth and asked in a dry voice: “Justina… can you still feel your… um, father?”

Hearing Weilin’s question, the soft shadow slowly trembled twice, and then a childish voice came from inside.

“I can’t…he ignored me, but he is still there…”

The two soft ears that Justina used to express her emotions slowly drooped down. She was constantly trying to grasp the magical connection between herself and Shuge. However, although the connection existed, she could not use it at all. Touching Xiuge’s heart and will made her feel very flustered and uneasy.

After hearing these words, Weilin’s eyes trembled twice, and she pursed her lips vigorously. The bitter water on her lips slightly restored her depressed mental state.

So she smiled and comforted the little guy in her arms: “Don’t worry, don’t worry… As long as the magic connection is still there, he will be fine. He probably just ran away somewhere.”

The drooped soft ears stood up again. The comforted Justina shook twice and asked expectantly: “So he will be back soon?”

“Probably…”

Weilin’s smile was very forced. She was not good at comforting others. She had never really coaxed such an innocent child before, but at this moment, she could only bite the bullet and said: “So you should pay more attention to your relationship with him.” What if he comes to you at some point?”

Soon, the young heir regained her vitality under the comfort of magic and words. She lay quietly in Weilin’s arms, twisted her body and found a more comfortable position.

At this time, a figure came from a distance. It was the spies and soldiers who had evacuated from the Yanhu Mine along with Wei Lin. They had already explored the way forward and were preparing to move towards the backup hidden stronghold.

So Weilin patted the “head” of the little thing in her arms and said, “Let’s go, we have to hide in a safe place first. It’s too dangerous here.”

“Yes! That’s right!”

Justina actively expressed her agreement, but soon she looked at Weilin curiously and asked very politely: “When father is away, I will always follow you… What should I call you? ?”

“…”

Facing this question, Weilin became a little silent.

But soon, the smart Justina found the corresponding answer in her own wisdom: “Oh… you are taking care of me like my father, so you are my mother, right?”

Although Weilin had been mentally prepared before, her expression still became subtle at this moment.

Finally, she nodded: “Okay, just call me that, but you have to be obedient in the future… and you need to know that I am much stricter than your father.”

In this way, on this night destined to carry countless legends and strange stories, the team evacuated from the Yanhu Mine walked towards the depths of the woods. In the following time, arduous tasks and missions will continue to accompany them. .

…

Any kind of magic and ritual related to teleportation is absolutely impossible to bring a good experience to its users.

The longer the teleportation distance, the more unstable the teleportation magic itself is, and the more painful it will be for the unlucky person who is caught in the magic.

So the question is, how far is it between Van En and Dark Abyss?

Shuge didn’t know, and he didn’t want to know.

He only knew that he was like a cockroach that fell into a powerful toilet, being led into an endless narrow abyss by the unimaginable chaotic power.

However, during this process, he always remained extremely awake. He could even feel that his limbs were being torn and pulled in different directions by invisible forces. Not only that, a large amount of turbulence was still hurting him. The spiritual world is undergoing an impact.

Although in the face of these impacts, the stable metal disc became a powerful barrier for Shuge, yet every impact of these turbulent currents could still cause violent waves in his spiritual ocean.

Under this long-term torture, coma or even death can be regarded as a kind of relief.

However, his strong mental state and the vitality contained in Shuge’s body always kept him awake, which made the all-round torture a “normal” that he had to accept and get used to.

Xiuge couldn’t see the end of this painful journey at all. It seemed that the only thing in front of him was to endure the journey.

However, just when Xiuge was mentally prepared to face the long-term torture, he suddenly felt that he was thrown into a wider space by the narrow “passage”.

So he opened his eyes forcefully and cast his gaze into the distance.

He saw a strange world.

A strange world filled with deep fog and wrapped in gloomy colors.
