MTL - Weird Wizarding World-Chapter 408 behind the scenes
The next day, when the sky was dim, Colin brought Jennifer to the Lightless Forest.
In the manuscript left by Erwin in the secret room of the royal palace, he mentioned the secret of the ancestors, or the specific location of the secret place of the Loen family.
This secret realm is the most important inheritance of the Loen family.
Its location was originally the same as its opening method, and it disappeared with the death of the third-tier wizards of the Loen family.
Dan Erwen vaguely heard that the secret realm was in the lightless forest when he was young, so he spent more than ten years searching in the lightless forest, and finally found the entrance of the secret realm with some luck.
"Your Excellency Colin, this is it." Jennifer pointed to the ordinary woodland and said.
"Yes." Colin nodded slightly.
Sure enough, this is the place where I came to investigate the location given by Anando's dice that night, but I ran into Erwin and the furbolg by chance.
Not in a hurry to investigate carefully, Colin had a thought, and took the lead in using Anando's dice.
The Ruen family came to him completely as a dead horse as a living horse doctor. They didn't know anything about Wizard Erwin's specific situation, and they didn't even know how to enter the secret realm...
I'm afraid it's only when I'm in a real desperate situation that I gamble on an illusory hope like this.
The light golden dice spun and fell from the sky, and finally fixed at one point in front of Colin.
Receiving the position from Anando's Dice, Colin raised his eyebrows slightly.
In fact, he used Anando's dice because he was a dead horse as a living horse doctor. After all, if Erwen and others were in a secret place, Anando's dice should not be able to detect their location.
After all, the secret realm of the Loen family is a small different space that already existed in the lightless forest.
Back then, Loen's ancestors used boundless power to forcibly reinforce and expand its original entrance into a stable connection channel, and set various restrictions to make the entire different space private.
However, different spaces are essentially some bubbles that overlap with the world, and are usually not connected to the main world. But the bubbles are always extremely weak, and occasionally they will shatter, forming an unstable, continuous and uncertain passage to the main world.
In this world, there are many unlucky people who suddenly disappeared, because they accidentally fell into a different space.
If the Loen family didn't record the real location of the wrong entrance, it seems that the entrance that the ancestors of Loen fortified and set up a ban on is probably still stable and well hidden.
At least with Colin's current ability, he couldn't find any abnormalities at the original entrance in front of him.
However, at this moment, the location given by Anando's dice is unexpectedly not far away?
"Follow me." Without much explanation, Colin beckoned to Jennifer, walked slowly towards a location about 100 meters away, and continued to search in circles.
Finally, Colin stopped in front of a bush with white flowers, looking puzzled.
In this bush, he faintly felt some strange fluctuations of magic energy.
‘Could it be the damaged part exposed after Erwen and others opened the secret realm? '
Colin pondered secretly, he could feel that behind these leaked magic energy, there seemed to be another space hidden.
But why does Anando's dice indicate that there is a treasure here?
The sun is gradually rising, and the brilliant sunlight is falling, but only a few insignificant rays can shine through the dense canopy of the lightless forest.
Although it is daytime, the forest is as dark and quiet as evening, and occasionally there are strange animal roars coming from afar.
Jennifer stared at Colin a little nervously. Although she was only a senior wizard apprentice, she came to the bush at this moment and noticed those inexplicable fluctuations in magic energy.
Hum!
Colin thought for a moment, murmured a few words, and tentatively induced the magic power to explore the bush in front of him.
Thorn it!
The next moment, a translucent red crystal screen suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Colin narrowed his eyes and observed the scene carefully.
This is definitely not a natural product, and there is a high probability that it is not the prohibition barrier set up by the ancestors of Loen back then.
After all, he is now a hundred meters away from the entrance.
Combined with the information given by Anando's Dice, he suspects that this may be a special barrier created by some kind of artifact...
Colin couldn't help feeling a little headache, he didn't know much about space restrictions.
"Your Excellency Colin, have you discovered anything?" Jennifer hesitated for a long time, but finally she couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked.
"An artificially arranged restriction was discovered."
Colin said simply, bent down and began to try to crack it.
And the attempt was a day gone.
Until night fell, Colin was still at a loss for the restriction in front of him. He just figured out that its outer layer was about the strength of the second-order peak, and the inner layer was temporarily unclear.
Jennifer squatted aside, cheering for Colin, while sipping the dry food she carried with her. As an apprentice wizard, she still has to eat three meals a day.
Colin tried for a while, until the moon was in the middle of the sky, he finally gave up relying on skills to break the restriction in front of him.
Teng!
Turning!
Five flaming figures suddenly appeared, and Jennifer, who was biting the dry food, was taken aback. She choked on the dry food and couldn't help coughing.
"Sorry." Colin then remembered that there was another person beside him, and turned his head apologetically.
Jennifer waved her hands again and again, took out a bottle of water and drank a few sips, and finally recovered.
Looking at the blazing figures of flames in front of her, her pupils trembled slightly.
Although Colin has already told her that he has the strength of the second level, why is the power of every flame figure summoned in front of him comparable to the strongest great-grandfather of the Ruen family, Erwin?
Is this really the second order?
Chick!
Seeing that Jennifer no longer coughed, Colin looked away and thought.
The five flame shadows behind them stepped forward and raised their right palm at the same time, a spot of white and blue bright spots suddenly emerged from the palm.
Then with a swish, five pillars of flame about the thickness of fingers shot towards the same point on the light curtain in front of them!
These flame pillars are white and bluish in color, and they are extremely solid. Although the movement of the flames is not large, their power cannot be underestimated.
The five flame shadows attacked one point at the same time. Even Colin had to use all his strengths—steel temperature-resistant force field, fighting spirit armor, and will armor to barely resist one or two.
An ordinary second-tier wizard, if he was hit by this blow, would basically have no hope of surviving.
The same is true for the tyrannical red light curtain, although the light is so bright at the moment, it can barely resist the concentrated fire attack of the flame column.
But with the passage of time, the radiance on its surface is rapidly weakening, and I'm afraid it won't last long.
However, at this moment, the red light curtain suddenly flickered violently.
"Roar!"
The next moment, there was a bang, and a blood-red monster suddenly emerged from the soil beside it, attacking Colin!
"Be careful!" Jennifer's complexion changed drastically, and she shouted hastily, while gritting her teeth to meet the blood-red monster in the shape of a brown bear.
In her opinion, Colin is controlling the five-headed flame shadow at the moment, and his body is weak, probably at the time when he is at his weakest.
She couldn't let the monster attack succeed.
However, the next moment, Jennifer's eyes blurred, and there was a loud bang, and the astonishingly powerful blood-red brown bear flew backwards like a broken sack, smashing several big trees.
"Stay aside." Colin came to Jennifer and whispered, his face slightly dignified.
'The monster at the peak of the second order... This breath seems to be somewhat similar to the gray and white elk from that day? '
The five pillars of flame were still gathering fire to bombard the light curtain. The light emitted by the latter was as weak as a candle, and Colin suddenly had a decision in his heart.
"Roar!" The blood-red brown bear with rough skin and thick flesh attacked him again, and Colin went up to meet it without dodging.
Click, click, click!
When the brown bear was about ten meters away from Colin, a blue chill spread rapidly from the soles of its feet, freezing it in place for a short time.
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, Colin punched hard.
As if breaking a glass sculpture, the tyrannical force spread along the chest of the blood-red brown bear towards the surroundings, causing it to shatter into wreckage on the ground.
At the same time, an undetectable abnormal sound suddenly came from behind.
Colin turned his head, and the red light curtain was shattered. A red, slender, bamboo-like short stick quietly emerged from the bushes with white flowers, and then broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
This is probably the treasure indicated by Anando's dice... Colin thought to himself.
A channel in another space invisible to the naked eye quietly emerged at the original position of the red light curtain.
Colin looked at the passage, and then at the dead bear monster behind him, feeling a little uneasy.
Before he came, he was prepared for danger, but now it seemed that someone was deliberately targeting the Loen family.
The red bamboo used to seal off the passage in different spaces, and the furbolg summoned by the red bamboo... are obviously artificially set up.
The red bamboo is alright, it’s just some kind of precious witch tool, it doesn’t represent anything.
But that fur monster that was covered in blood red and smelled very similar to the strange elk smell last time... What kind of wizard can control this filthy monster?
And Colm Adams...Colin's mind flashed the figures of the three Ishtar school wizards.
If they arranged all this, what is the purpose?
Is it just to fight for the power to control the Loen Kingdom?
After the short and intense fight, the Lightless Forest fell into silence again.
Jennifer poked her head out from a distance cautiously, observed for a while and found that it seemed to be safe, then hurriedly walked towards Colin.
Colin was trying to meditate, and by the time Jennifer realized it, she had already walked near the bush with white flowers.
"Be careful!" His complexion changed slightly, and he quickly reminded.
However, it was still a step too late. Jennifer raised her head in doubt, and then disappeared with a swish.
Colin didn't think much about it, and quickly stepped into the range of the different space passage.
No one knows what's going on in the secret realm, so we should investigate a little bit more before going in...
However, at the next moment, Colin suddenly froze in place. He had clearly reached the bushes, but he stayed where he was, and did not enter the secret realm.
But...the channel is still there?
Frowning tightly, Colin settled down to observe carefully.
A moment later, he faintly saw a red light net wrapped in a different space in the passage.
This crimson is different from the red of the previous forbidden light curtain, but slightly golden, which is obviously much more advanced.
‘Could this be a method set by the ancestors of Loen? ’ thought Colin suddenly.
If it was the means laid down by the Loen ancestors, it would also explain why Jennifer easily entered, but he couldn't.
Thinking of this, Colin felt a little relieved.
From this point of view, there is a high probability that Wizard Erwin is still alive, but he is just trapped in the Loen Secret Realm.
No wonder those who dealt with Erwin just chose to seal him inside and leave the furbolg guards instead of killing them directly.
It turned out that there was no way to enter the secret realm!
Most of the confusion in his heart was basically resolved, and Colin probably figured out the process of Wizard Erwin's disappearance.
But for some reason, he always felt as if he had overlooked something?
Shua!
"Lord Colin."
At this moment, Wizard Erwin suddenly appeared. He looked at Colin with obvious disbelief in his eyes.
After a moment of pause, Erwin bent over to touch his chest, and bowed to Colin.
Behind him, several official wizards of the Loen family appeared one after another. Apart from being a little sluggish, they all seemed to be in good condition, and they all followed Erwin and saluted Colin.
"Thank you for your willingness to help." Erwen straightened his waist, then took out a knowledge crystal from his flip hand, and said solemnly, "This is the complete idea of Loen Meditation, please accept it."
There was a smile on Colin's face, and Erwin was more cheerful than he imagined.
"You don't have to thank me for taking people's money and eliminating disasters for them." After receiving the knowledge crystal, Colin said with a smile after checking that it was correct.
"By the way, Sir Erwin, do you know who trapped you in the secret realm?"
Erwin frowned, recalled carefully, and shook his head after a while:
"That day we successfully entered the secret realm, took some things and prepared to return to Golden Wheat, but suddenly encountered two extremely powerful monsters, one in the shape of an elk and the other in the shape of a giant bear.
Caught off guard, we killed two first-order wizards on the spot. Since we were unable to fight, we had no choice but to escape back to the secret realm. However, after a while, when I was about to go out to check the situation, I found that the passage had been blocked by a powerful restriction. We kept trying to break it, but we couldn't shake it at all... and then, It is now Your Excellency who comes to the rescue. "
Have you never seen the man behind the scenes from the beginning to the end?
Colin's eyes flickered, and he was even more suspicious of the three people from the Istar School.
Hiding his figure so cautiously, there is a high probability that his identity is more conspicuous and easy to be recognized...
"Your Excellency Erwin, please keep the identity of Tier 2 secret for me." Colin finally said.
"That's natural." Erwin did not hesitate at all, and took out a piece of parchment to sign a contract.
However, at this moment, Colin suddenly saw Erwin's face change, and at the same time, a gloomy voice came from behind him:
"Secret the identity of the second rank...Indeed, I really didn't expect that you, Jin Yu, have already advanced to the second rank, and your strength is not trivial.
Fortunately, there is an extra layer of protection, otherwise, if you are allowed to return to Jinmaisui and affect the major events in a few days, it will be bad. "
Kom's figure slowly emerged from the shadows in the forest, glanced at Erwin and the others, and finally settled his gloomy gaze on Colin with a gloomy expression.
A damp and dreary feeling like before a rainstorm quietly shrouded the forest with his arrival. The roar of insects and beasts that had sounded from time to time suddenly disappeared, replaced by some kind of sticky and weird rustling sound.
At this moment, Colin finally realized what he had overlooked—since the black hand behind the scenes had set up such an arrangement here, how could he not have set up an early warning after it was destroyed!
Trouble... He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Sorry, it's a bit late, I will update tomorrow at 12:00 noon.
