Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The Ancient Door
The pressure on everyone was increasing, and even the weak alchemist Oak couldn't resist the pressure and sat on the ground. While the elemental storm has not yet arrived, Nia is using the magic absorbed in the magic crystal to gather magical elements to the maximum extent possible. After the elemental storm blows, elements outside the shield completely ignore commands, which means that the level of magic that can be released after the elemental storm begins depends entirely on the number of remaining magical elements inside the shield.
Not long after, the air inside the shield emitted a dazzling blue light due to Nia's excessive accumulation of water elements.
Suddenly, a rainbow of light erupted from the space outside the shield, and the shield began to become like water, producing circles of ripples. Fortunately, these two shields are quite sturdy and there is no obvious flicker.
Elsa, infuse your magic into the Wind Guardian so that you can hold on a little, even though your magic isn't particularly strong
When it comes to saving one's life, no one wants to talk too much.
Upon hearing Nia's request, Elsa immediately began to infuse magic into the Wind Guardian, causing the ripples on the Wind Guardian outside the Holy Light Barrier to become much smaller.
Ten minutes have passed
An hour has passed
The people who thought this elemental storm would pass like this were hit by it. The flow speed of the elemental storm instantly doubled, and the Wind Guardian released by Nia was blown away before she could replenish her magic due to the rapid external changes. However, the Holy Light Barrier released by Ellie has received buffering time under the protection of the Wind, and the magic has been replenished in time. It has not been broken yet, but whether it will be broken or not is only a matter of time.
Seeing this situation, Nia gritted her teeth and took out a large water magic crystal that was over fifty centimeters long from her own space. Ignoring the surprised looks from those around him, he held the magic crystal in his left hand and another water magic wand in his right hand, and immediately began chanting spells.
The chanting of the spell lasted for five minutes, during which everyone was trembling with fear. Because the Holy Light Barrier has been shining unpredictably, and beads of sweat have been constantly oozing from Ellie's head
At the end of the chanting, Nia raised her staff and shouted directly. At that moment, all the magic in Nia's body was drained, and the magic crystal in her hand turned gray and shattered.
This new shield directly acted on the outside of the Holy Light Barrier, and Ellie, who no longer had to resist, fainted instantly. Elsa immediately went over to check, but fortunately it was only a collapse caused by magic exhaustion.
Sitting on the ground, Nia took out some smaller magic crystals and began to replenish her magic to maintain the water curtain and sky.
Mmm~no, at this consumption rate, even if I can obtain enough magic to maintain the barrier by absorbing magic crystals, my spiritual power will not be able to handle it... Vicky, it depends on the time
Vicky can also be considered a pragmatist. She took out a pocket watch directly from her clothes and said, "It's 1:24 now
Okay! Looking at the time, I can only support a maximum of forty-five minutes. After forty-five minutes, let's use the teleportation scroll
I know
Time slowly passed, but the situation still improved. At 1:30, the elemental storm began to decrease, and the mental power required to maintain the shield also decreased accordingly. At around two o'clock, the elemental storm finally came to an end.
As soon as the pressure disappeared, Nia quickly fell asleep without any sense of crisis. The Water Curtain Tianhua was only released by Nia forcibly borrowing external magic, although the scope is small, it also consumes a considerable amount of spiritual power, and sleeping is the best way to restore spiritual power.
Just before falling asleep, Nia still instructed Vicky. Vicky, find two people to explore. Maybe this elemental storm will come again someday. If it comes again, we'll have to run away
Watching the two sleeping people, Vicky could only temporarily act as the captain. Victor, Jacques, you two go explore
Speaking of which, only these two people can go. Elsa's magic has long been used up, and Oak is an alchemist with no direct combat power. In the event of a surprise attack, he will simply throw it away. Meanwhile, Vicky himself has to stay behind to ensure the safety of the other few people
Near noon, Nia finally woke up, although her demeanor still didn't look very good.
As the temporary captain, Vicky immediately began to ask, "What should we do now? Jacques found a door a few kilometers ahead with many unfamiliar patterns carved on it. For safety reasons, Jacques did not attempt to open it. It is already eleven o'clock now, and the ground is too hot. If we stay here any longer, some people may not be able to handle it." These people specifically refer to Elsa and Oak, who currently have little combat power.
Rub your temples. How is Ellie doing
Still in a coma, but nothing serious. It's just a matter of time before I wake up
Okay, let's go to that door with Ellie on your back. Tell them that I'm currently experiencing excessive mental exhaustion and can only use magic up to level eight, and not too much. "[Hmm~Although I can use level ten, I can save a little bit.]
Vicky carried Ellie on her back, and the six awake people began to move towards the door.
Elsa, Oak, have you two offended anyone recently? "On the way, Nia slightly activated her usually confused brain.
No, at most recently I've been snatching something that a baron wanted to buy from a jewelry store. Do you think we got this task because someone didn't like us? No, we're just a baron, shouldn't we retaliate against me
Someone must have retaliated, and the Elemental Storm definitely didn't appear suddenly. If it's man-made, it means this is a trap set by humans. If it's natural, it's impossible for us to be so unlucky, so it should be because Elemental Storm is frequently blowing here. If that's the case, the information provided by the school won't be missing. So this is obviously premeditated. Elsa, I don't think you have anything to do with your situation, so it's Oak's your fault. Who have you offended
I'm not sure, things that I'm not interested in are easy to forget... "Oak scratched his head and replied.
Oh~It seems like it's about Oak. Elsa! After you enter the door, beat him up for me! "She glared angrily at Oak and began to encourage Elsa. After hearing that Nia had given permission, Elsa's malicious smile became apparent. A few days ago, people around her didn't approve of her fighting, so she didn't dare to go too far. People around him now really want to repair him, so naturally he will have a better time playing.
Elsa, you need to wait for a while and let us study this door quietly. "At this point, everyone had already walked up to the front of a door. This is a door lying diagonally on the ground, with a rather simple appearance and no fancy decorations. Guess from the placement of the door that the passage inside the door is inclined downwards.
After taking a glance, I knew that the two ciphertexts engraved on it were used by gods and demons, and both were written with the same sentence.
Huh~It's no coincidence that we ran into the ruins of the alchemist in Biya Esso this time... The inscriptions on them are the texts applicable from the current world calendar to the Ice and Fire calendar, and they were the ciphertext of the gods and demons at that time. However, this ciphertext is no longer in use now
The real world calendar? What is this? "Asked Victor, a restless guy who believed he didn't have much time to read books.
The current calendar is the first unified time calculation method for humans, and it is also the only calendar used uniformly by people before the First War of the Gods and Demons
It's so ancient... "nodded vaguely
This kind of writing is no longer confidential, I happened to have learned some of it myself. "[It can't be said that I learned it through the inheritance of the dragon clan...]
Well, let me take a look. This place is the seal of the Lord of Sin
=================
Note: Simultaneously restore magic and spiritual power using meditation, with average speed. Only restoring magic can be achieved by absorbing magic crystals, which are fast but consume magic crystals and some spiritual power. Sleeping can quickly restore mental power, and magic can also restore a small amount. (Dragons are abundant)
