After a few seconds, Zong Hu looked at Longshu, exhaled and said: "So, you are not going to listen to your Majesty's words? Your Majesty's meaning is very clear. If we don't arrive on time, don't get involved in this matter. It will save you from unexpected trouble."
"Oh, my brother." Longshu said with a look of disgust, "When will you become bolder? You and I are both level four wizards. There are not many in the entire continent who can threaten our existence. What are you afraid of? What? Have you been working as a guard for adults for too long, making your character too conservative
I don't mean to violate the will of adults. Since the adults have said that if you can't arrive on time, even if the mission fails, then the mission has failed. However, Your Excellency, he did not stipulate what we must do after the mission fails, right
Now that the mission has failed, we have no new missions to perform. Time is free and can be arranged as we wish. Is there anything wrong with satisfying your curiosity and seeing what happened in Pompeii? At worst, we can observe from the outside first, and then go deep inside after making sure it's safe. That way nothing will happen, right? "
After hearing what he said, Zonghu looked at Longshu with an expression full of suspicion, doubting whether Longshu's words and deeds were consistent.
After pondering for a moment, Zong Hu said cautiously: "No, I think it is still necessary to ask your Majesty what you mean. If you don't deny it, we can go and have a look."
"Trouble." Nagarjuna couldn't help but shook his head and said with emotion, "If you want to contact the adults, you should do it. Anyway, I won't contact you - I don't have a communication crystal ball with me."
"Then let me contact you." Zong Hu accepted, "I'll bring it."
"Did you bring it?" Longshu opened his eyes slightly and looked at Zong Hu, "Wait a minute, didn't you tell me before that your communication crystal ball was damaged in the battle? Are you lying to me?"
"I'm not lying to you." Zong Hu explained, "The communication crystal ball is indeed broken, but I have a total of two crystal balls on me - the broken one is the big one, and there is a small communication crystal ball as a backup."
Nagarjuna's expression became wonderful.
Zong Hu didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand and took out a small crystal ball from his pocket.
The crystal ball is really small, only about two centimeters in diameter, about the same size as a cherry.
Nagarjuna glanced at it and said skeptically: "Hey, by the way, is this gadget of yours really useful? Why do I feel that it's very unreliable to buy something from a roadside store and make up for it as a gift?"
"Its effect and stability are definitely beyond your imagination." Zong Hu replied with a straight face, "This is made inside the Spider Web at a great cost. If it weren't for your relationship, I wouldn't be able to get it."
"Is it-"
Zong Hu was too lazy to continue bickering with Long Shu. He put the crystal ball in his hand, and his mana poured out, directly activating the communication function of the crystal ball.
Visible to the naked eye, red light emitted from the surface of the crystal ball, and the light became brighter and brighter, as if a flame was burning.
But just when the red light reached its limit, the crystal ball shook slightly, like a vat of cold water suddenly poured on the newly lit fire. With a "swipe", the red light disappeared out of thin air.
Zong Hu's expression froze.
Longshu raised his eyebrows. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Zong Hu say in a deep voice: "This is a normal situation. It is to test whether the crystal ball communication is normal. The real information has not been sent yet."
Nagarjuna opened and closed his lips and swallowed what he wanted to say. Close your mouth, fold your arms in front of your chest, and stand aside as if you are watching the performance.
Zong Hu took a deep breath, his expression became a little more serious, he drew out the mana from his body again, poured it into the crystal ball in strict accordance with the requirements, and tried to pass the information out in the agreed way.
"brush!"
The extremely dazzling red light regenerated on the surface of the crystal ball, almost as if it was about to burst out of the crystal ball.
As a result, the next moment, the red light really burst out.
With a "crash" sound, cracks suddenly appeared in the crystal ball, and then the red light disappeared completely again.
Zong Hu's movements froze and his expression was strange.
But Nagarjuna raised the corners of his mouth, with indescribable pride, and laughed out loud: "Hey, my brother, the crystal ball in your hand seems to be cracked."
“…”
"Hey, brother, have you seen it? It's really cracked. It seems that the so-called spider web is not reliable at all. It cost a lot of money to make it, and it is a complete lie. When you go back, You must explain this situation clearly to the adults and let them sort it out."
Zong Hu said nothing.
"okay!"
Nagarjuna came up, patted Zong Hu on the shoulder, and persuaded: "My brother, I have seen your persistence, and you are indeed not to blame for this matter. I think this should be the guidance of fate. Yes Destiny dictates that you cannot ask what the adults want, so just follow my instructions and just go over there and have a look."
As he spoke, Nagarjuna pointed in the direction of Pompey.
"I think the situation is a bit abnormal. This crystal ball will not be damaged for no reason. We must be careful..." Zong Hu finally spoke up and whispered his guess.
"Don't worry so much, just go and take a look, and you will understand everything." Longshu decided, patted Zong Hu on the shoulder again, and soared into the sky, flying towards Pompeii at an extremely fast speed.
Zong Hu looked at Long Shu's retreating figure, struggled for a few times with an expression on his face, then looked at the broken crystal ball in his hand, and finally let out a helpless breath and followed.
…
Not long after, the two arrived at the outskirts of Pompeii one after another.
"Pfft, pfft!"
The two landed on the ground covered with thick volcanic ash. They looked straight ahead, their eyes widening slightly.
In their field of vision, the mountain they imagined, Mount Vesuvius, disappeared and ceased to exist, replaced by a huge round hole. The round hole is several hundred meters in diameter, and magma, volcanic debris, and volcanic ash are continuously erupting from it.
"Did we go to the wrong place?" Longshu glanced at it a few times, then looked at Zong Hu with a little unconfidence. "The last time I came here was more than ten years ago. I remember there seemed to be a big building here. Shan Lai? Or maybe I remembered it wrong?"
"No, you remembered correctly. There is indeed a mountain here." Zong Hu replied, breathing slightly heavily.
"What about the mountain?" Nagarjuna asked.
"No more." Zong Hu replied.
"Why not?" Nagarjuna asked again.
"I don't know." Zong Hu replied again.
After that, the scene fell into silence for more than ten seconds.
"There is something really wrong with the situation here." After more than ten seconds, Zong Hu spoke up and analyzed with a solemn expression, "There must be something happening beyond the scope of our knowledge, so it is better to be cautious. We may be after the incident, The first batch of people to arrive, but they will definitely not be the only ones who realize that there is a problem here. There must be others who will arrive later. I'd better leave as soon as possible, and then report the situation to the adults, so that they can use their organizational strength to investigate. .”
"Okay, I agree with you." Longshu seemed a little frightened by the scene in front of him, and agreed with Zong Hu's idea.
Zong Hu raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, but time was urgent, so he turned around and left without asking any more questions.
Then he saw Nagarjuna taking steps and quickly walking towards the volcanic vent in the distance directly in front of him.
"Well, wait! Didn't you agree to leave as soon as possible?!"
"Yes, I agree." Nagarjuna said without looking back, "Let me take a look and then leave."
"I..." Zong Hu's expression couldn't help but become distorted. At this time, Longshu had already walked to the vicinity of the volcano's eruption, casting a spell to protect his body with a layer of yellow and blue energy film. Then he walked to the closest place and leaned forward to look curiously into the crater of the volcano.
Zong Hu clenched his fists and couldn't help but want to get angry. The next moment, he heard Longshu say something, asking in a somewhat surprised tone: "Hey, brother, come here and see if there is someone here." weird stuff?"
"Um?"
"boom!"
