"Is it worth saving?" Jin Guang asked.
Liu Feng said: "Yes, compared to the dangers of saving Lauren, the value of saving him is too low."
Seeing Liu Feng staring at him so closely, Jin Guang said, "Don't worry. I won't be willful enough to risk such a big risk to save him."
After saying this, the atmosphere between the two fell into silence. This is already the sixth day of coming to Magic Star. Tomorrow was originally the day agreed to return to Earth after the completion of the first phase of the investigation. But neither of them expected that from the fourth day onwards, the expedition team not only lost contact with the Earth, but was also chased by more than a dozen waves of mages.
In the beginning, it was just some high-level mages and low-level mages cooperating with the army to encircle them, but as the intensity of the battle continued to intensify, the mages quickly joined in, which immediately brought enormous pressure to the entire expedition team.
Although relying on Jin Guang's powerful strength, they were defeated one by one. However, the mages' endless tricks still brought huge troubles to the expedition team. Especially spells such as teleportation spells, charm spells, barriers and traps, etc., all put the expedition team members who lacked magic detection methods into a desperate situation.
In addition to the death of the incapacitated Frante and the arrest of Lauren, Braniels also lost an arm due to the cracking ray. Thanks to his own strong physique and the emergency treatment device of the nano armor, he did not die.
Especially Jin Guang and the others found that even with Jin Guang's high speed and nano-armor's stealth ability, they couldn't get rid of each other no matter what. Even after they broke out countless times, another group of mages blocked them.
Finally, after capturing a high-ranking mage, after a round of bloody torture to extract a confession, they learned from the other party that Jin Guang, as the strongest in their party, had been positioned by the prophecy mage of the Saint Laurent Empire. With teleportation spells, they are absolutely inescapable.
So they divided into two teams, Tony and Ivan took Braniels to the crossing gate. Liu Feng and Jin Guang stepped forward to face the difficulties, killed their carbines all the way, and tracked each other's whereabouts, trying to rescue Lauren.
"In two hours, their prophecy magic will take effect again, let's get out of here quickly."
At this moment, Liu Feng looked at the dangerous light flashing in Jin Guang's eyes, and said suddenly: "You boy, you don't want to destroy this imperial capital, do you?"
"Passive defense is not my style, and although there are many wizards here, as long as they are defending, they cannot be impeccable." Jin Guang said coldly: "Since I can't save Lauren, in order to prevent him from revealing more For information about the earth, we have to kill him.”
Hearing what Jin Guang said, Liu Feng's breathing stagnated slightly. This was a plan he had always wanted to say but was worried that the other party would disagree, so he never said it.
Compared to going deep into the mage guild with layers of defenses, it is much easier for them to save Lauren, who is just an ordinary person, to attack directly with their current means, eliminate or even destroy the entire mage guild building. Even if Lauren didn't die, she could still breathe out the anger of being chased by a dog these days.

Two hours later.
On Brighton Street in the capital of Revan, a travel-ridden messenger knocked on the door of the Mages Guild.
A minute or two later, with a creak, a middle-aged servant opened the door, looked at the messenger in front of him with a condescending gaze, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
The messenger's voice sounded a little nervous, as if he felt the majesty of the Mage Guild, he said nervously, "This is a package for Lord Laniers."
The servant looked at the messenger hesitantly, carefully took the package from the other party's hand, and said coldly: "Understood, you can go."
Before the words were finished, there was a bang, and the door of the Mage Guild closed again.
The heavy iron door almost hit the courier's nose directly, making the courier take a step back, but he did not show indignation at the servant's arrogance and rudeness, but looked up at the seven-story building The building, laughed frivolously. Then he left.
※※※
The servant who received the package looked at the surface of the package and shook his head. Although nothing was written on it, since the other party specified that it was handed over to Lord Sorcerer, it is not for him to intervene.
He rang the bell beside the wall, half a minute later, there was a puff puff puff sound in the air, and a pure black kitten with snow-white wings flew over.
That was the familiar summoned by the Mage Guild branch. It exists as a kind of elf that helps mages in their office and daily life. As purely magical creatures, they don't need to eat or drink, as long as they are paid a few gems as salary every month.
The middle-aged servant was no stranger to the familiar's existence. He put the package in front of the familiar and said respectfully, "Master Laniers's package."
The familiar nodded proudly, and then gave a rather humane "meow", as if to say that he understood.
Then he picked up the package in the servant's hand with his mouth, and flew towards the upstairs of the Mage Guild.
In the separate office, Laniers was sitting behind his desk reading a newly released magic magazine. There were several improvement techniques for protective magic on it, which made his eyes light up and he showed a smile.
When the black cat familiar gently placed the package on his desk and let out a "meow", Laniers raised his head, took out a gemstone from his pocket, and threw Gave it to the familiar. The cat happily took the gem and put it in the small pocket on his belt, then rubbed Laniers' hand fawningly, and then flapped his wings and left his office.
Laniers looked at the package on the desk which was completely empty, frowned and said, "Didn't you write the sender?"
While speaking, he flicked his fingertips lightly, and detection magics such as biological detection, toxin detection, and magic item identification have been released one after another. As a mage, he was still very cautious, but as a magic star mage, it was obvious that his common sense restrained him.
The package in front of him was like a stone, and it didn't respond at all to the detection magic he released. Laniers murmured, "Could it be gems, materials, or magic books?"
While speaking, he had reached out and slowly opened the package.
I saw that the package was a wooden box, and in the center of the wooden box, a silver-white sphere was quietly placed in it. There is also a bright red number jumping on it.
"00:10"
The numbers on the Mundo continent are obviously not Arabic numerals, so Laniers couldn't understand what this string of bright red, constantly beating characters meant.
He just picked up the metal sphere out of curiosity. He tapped the metal shell with his fingers, and said with a puzzled look: "Could it be a music box? But how are these jumping characters made?"
While speaking, he put the sphere back into the wooden box, already treating this thing as some kind of cultural relic made by an ancient mage.
At this time, the number on the sphere has jumped to "00:01".
The next moment, a dazzling white light that was enough to blind a mortal in an instant shot out from the sphere. Before Laniers had time to react, the pressure of more than a million tons and the high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees had completely wiped his body from this world.
Although the Mage Guild in the imperial capital is only a branch, there are hundreds of defensive magics arranged in it. It can defend against the frontal attacks of digital wizards.
But at this moment, all kinds of protective magic in the mage guild, such as the protective force field, flame barrier, and silent field, all became as fragile as glass, and shattered in an instant. Then the terrifying high temperature and shock wave instantly engulfed dozens of streets around the Mage Guild, turning into a huge fireball that slowly rose from the ground.
That night, countless poor people on the outskirts of the imperial capital seemed to have seen a huge mushroom planted near the center of the imperial capital.
Jin Guang looked at the flames soaring into the sky in the distance, and said to Liu Feng through the nano-armored communicator: "How is it?"
Liu Feng's voice sounded a little messy, as if he was affected by the nuclear explosion, and he said intermittently: "Damn it, those lunatics from the Royal Academy of Sciences actually included such powerful tactical nuclear bombs in the nano armor equipment middle."
Jin Guang smiled, and seemed very satisfied with the effect of the nuclear bomb. Since the alliance has fully mastered nuclear fusion and nuclear fission technology, this tactical miniature nuclear bomb has become a conventional weapon of the army. The original goal was to destroy the fortifications on the battlefield, but now they are used as gifts, and the effect is not bad.
Jin Guang replied: "Don't worry, this tactical nuclear bomb is very safe. Without authorization, it will not explode even if you throw it into magma. It's a pity that each piece of nano armor is only equipped with one."
The explosion in the imperial capital destroyed more than 30 buildings including the Mages Guild, causing the deaths of 5,000 people, including the two mages. The other three mages stationed by the Magician's Union were able to escape because of the pre-set dimension gate and teleportation.
However, the radioactive dust permeating the sky of the entire imperial capital turned the ground with a radius of several kilometers into a forbidden area for life. In the eyes of the people in the Mundo continent, this is considered to be a curse planted by the silver demon.
Not only the three surviving mages were lingering on the sickbed, but also countless civilians living in the imperial capital, under the power of the curse, showed symptoms of hair loss, blisters, nose and mouth bleeding, and sudden death. All of a sudden, countless civilians and nobles fled the imperial capital because they were afraid of the curse of the silver demon.
And on the continent of Mondo, when the news about the silver demons became more and more popular, a communication in outer space was also heating up.
