The dead branches in the fire burned slowly, making a crackling sound. The light of the fire illuminated the dimly lit crypt, and the brilliance on everyone's face faded from time to time.
Most people are hurrying to meditate in order to restore their magic power to full.
After a long time, when everyone slowed down a little, a low rustling sound began to spread in the crowd. Sinaifer still hasn't come back, which made everyone start to talk in a low voice.
"Can Lord Sinifer defeat the Sheep Demon?"
"If it's just a sheep demon, there should be no problem."
"But most of the day has passed, and Lord Sinaifa hasn't come back. Why is this?"
The time has indeed dragged on for too long, and people's hearts have begun to float. However, the apprentices were discussing it before. In order to reassure the apprentices, Maher replied:
"The strength of the Sheep Demon is also different. I saw that the Sheep Demon has almost reached the peak level of a first-level True Wisdom wizard. In addition, with the bonus of the power of the abyss, it is a stalemate with Miss Sinaifa. It's very likely."
After a pause, Maher continued: "It's actually very difficult to kill the Sheep Demon. I guess Miss Sinaifa is now trying to get rid of the Sheep Demon. With her strength, there will be no problem. ."
Maher's determined tone made all the apprentices calm down.
At this time, Angel was a little bit aware of what Madeleine had said before. There were too many variables in the abyss, so it was very difficult for the stronghold to move.
Just imagine, if the resident of the ember earth giant rock also encountered the existence of the sheep demon on the way to the undead street, it is estimated that thousands of apprentices were lucky to escape.
The atmosphere in the cave was silent and depressing. Seeing that the silence would continue, it was finally broken by a Frost Moon guard guarding the entrance of the cave.
The guard was an elemental wizard, and he suddenly set up a rock armor around himself. Doubtfully, he probed the entrance corridor, and after a while, he removed his armor again.
His actions made everyone puzzled.
"Cage, what's wrong?" Maher asked.
"It's nothing, I heard a strange sound just now. Later, I used my mental power to investigate and found that there was wind outside, and the wind poured into the entrance of the cave, making that kind of noise."
Although Cage explained his behavior, the apprentices present suppressed it for too long, and a turbulent storm broke the calm maintained on the surface.
Some people began to complain, some whispered curses, and some silently wept.
The apprentice's worries about the road ahead are far more than the official wizard, so this kind of negative emotion keeps breeding, even if Maher wants to stop it.
The official wizard is the old god, and only occasionally whispers a few words with his colleagues.
Angel felt the strong negative emotions in the cave, which made him feel more and more depressed. Seeing this, Madeleine, who was sitting at the other end of the fire, said softly: "The accumulation is too deep, it is useless to yourself, why don't you vent it too?"
"Controlling one's emotions is the foundation of illusion. Even if you really need to relieve your emotions, there are many ways to vent." Angel said calmly.
"for example?"
Angel: "For example, sleeping, chatting, or reading books or listening to musicals."
"There's no musical here... Oh, no, I almost forgot, you're a music box warlock." Madeleine raised her eyebrows: "What? Are you going to put on some music to soothe your emotions?"
"I haven't reached the point where I need relief. Besides, playing music here has no effect except deepening fear." Angel looked around the dark underground cave. The places they could see were very limited. The dark area that cannot be reached will automatically make up the terrifying picture. If you add another piece of music at this time, and there will definitely be music that echoes because of the cramped space, I am afraid it will only be more scary at that time.
"Well, listening to music is not enough, why don't I chat with you." Madeleine smiled: "I see that you have been frowning tightly, do you have any doubts?"
Angel hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard Captain Maher say before that there is an unspeakable terrifying crisis in the ancient ruins. Where does this come from?"
Madeleine shrugged: "I don't know about this either. When I was an apprentice, I came here many times without encountering any danger. I still remember that someone in the Frost Moon Alliance did propose this place as a candidate for a stronghold city. land, but then it seems that something happened, and it's gone."
"As for what happened, we have to ask the people inside Shuangyue."
Angel asked this question purely out of curiosity, and naturally it was impossible to trouble Shuangyue's people because of this, not to mention that he was not familiar with it.
"When we flew all the way over before, I found that the ecological landscape here is much better than the outside, but it's a little strange that there doesn't seem to be a building here... Where is the ruins of this ancient ruins?" Angel changed A topic, asked.
"I don't know either." Madeleine recalled when she was wandering in the abyss in the past, "Speaking of which, when I went all over the ancient ruins, I didn't find the so-called architectural ruins, so I asked people this question. ...but no one knows."
"Since there is no site, how did the name Hangu Site come into being?" Angel was curious.
"I heard it was said by a half-blood demon a long time ago that it was called the Cold Ancient Ruins, and it was a holy place for the aborigines in the abyss in the cold ancient period... The cold ancient period was the stratification of the ancient abyss by the aborigines. An era 10,000 years ago." Madeleine continued: "Later, the ancient wizards learned from the mouths of other abyss people that the half-blood demon did not lie, and it was indeed called the ancient ruins, so the name was extended. ."
Angel suddenly realized that there may indeed be a hidden site here, but it has not been discovered yet.
"Listen to what your lord said, half-blood demons can still communicate?"
"Many demons can communicate, but only if you have enough strength." After a pause, Madeleine added: "However, demons are all cunning, and no demon will favor humans. But half-blood demons Among them, there are very few people who are close to humans, such as the establishment of the Street of the Undead, which is actually related to the help of some half-blooded demons."
Half-blood demons are hybrid hybrids of abyssal natives and demons. They are both hated by natives and attacked by demons.
Therefore, some half-blood demons began to prefer humans in difficult situations. However, this is only a minority.
Next, Angel and Madeleine talked about demons, abyss, and stronghold cities in different realms. When the fire started to replenish the third batch of dead branches, there was finally movement from the hole outside.
Shuangyue's guards first put on a vigilant stance, and when the shadow of Shuangfa Huomu appeared in the burrow, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The person here is Sinaifa.
Snaefa's face was a little pale, and Maher asked worriedly, "Miss Snaefa, are you alright?"
Sinaifa shook her head: "It consumes too much magic power, it will be good to meditate for a while."
Maher: "How is that goat devil now?"
Speaking of the Sheep Demon, Sinaifa's eyes flashed fiercely: "With the addition of the power of the abyss, although its strength is not as good as mine, it is not far. With the abyss as its home, It is very likely that I will be killed if I drag it down, so I can only find a way to get rid of it. But it is chasing me, so I can only detour."
"Detour?" Maher recalled the area near the Devil's Monastery. It seemed that there was only one place to get rid of the Sheep Devil.
A hint of surprise flashed in Maher's eyes: "Miss, you shouldn't go..."
Sinaifa nodded helplessly: "I went to the Ice Valley to get rid of it."
When Sinaifa mentioned Ice Valley, except for the ignorant apprentice, all the other wizards frowned. The name of Ice Valley is known to all the wizard circles who have been in the abyss. There is an absolute forbidden area, not only because there is a quirky abyss dragon, but also because of the curse of Ice Valley.
If you step into the ice valley, you are bound to be cursed.
Where this curse came from, no one knows. Once you are cursed, it is not so easy to get rid of it.
"The curse..." Maher hesitated for a moment, looking at Sinafer with worry.
Sinifa stretched her right shoulder, and a strange white emblem appeared in everyone's eyes. This emblem looks very artistic. Of course, the premise is that you have to put aside the extremely strong curse power.
After showing the curse emblem, Sinefah pulled up her clothes again: "This is the curse of Frost Chaos. I can't use the power of ice until it is lifted."
Sinafer's words fell, and the wizards frowned even more.
Everyone knows that the reason why Sinafer is powerful is precisely because she can simultaneously master the "opposite" power, frost and flame. Now, the power of Frost is contained, Blazing Flame cannot maintain balance, and the strength is probably less than one in ten.
Sinaifa's strength has been greatly reduced. If in this situation, they encounter the existence of a sheep demon, they will fall into a great passive.
For a while, the atmosphere that had been slightly relaxed after Sinaifa came back became tense again.
Angel also learned something about the Curse of Ice Valley from Madeleine. He frowned: "Is there no way to lift the Curse of Ice Valley?"
"It is very difficult to lift the curse of Ice Valley. This is a curse comparable to a third-level true wisdom wizard. Either go to the abyss dragon in Ice Valley, or you can only find a third-level true wisdom wizard... And now in the third level of the abyss The true wizard, I am afraid that there is only Lord Monchi." Madeleine also had a trace of worry on her face.
"Abyss dragon?" Angel was taken aback.
"There is an abyss dragon in Ice Valley. In fact, part of the curse of Ice Valley is that the abyss dragon has been tampered with, so it is almost impossible to find it to lift the curse."
"The only way now is to take one step at a time. Pray, the next road will be a little smoother, and don't encounter such a powerful enemy as the Sheep Demon."
