Weird Wizarding World

  The exterior style of the palace is in the same vein as the forest in the stone along the way, which is a typical elf architectural style.

   The overall color scheme is mostly gold and green. Gold is elegant gold, and green is light green, like a newly grown bud. The columns on both sides of the entrance are tall, supplemented by vine flower carvings.

It's a pity that the pollution here seems to be stronger than that of the forest in the stone. Although it has not turned into a dark red color like the outside world, it looks like it has been splattered with blood, and there are little dark red banquettes all over it. .

   "In the legend, during the war thousands of years ago, a human wizard was invited to the elf kingdom because he helped the elves." Lilian suddenly said,

   "And every sorcerer who has been to the elf kingdom, after reappearing, although they are vague, they all inexplicably mention a magnificent palace full of rare treasures!"

   "Here, could it be the palace?" Colin moved his eyes, faintly focusing on the position given by Anando's die this time.

   "I think most of the time..." Lilian said, pursing her lower lip and adding, "I am here, and what I want to find most is this palace."

   "Thank you, Colin. If it wasn't for your keen attention, I would never have imagined that there is a new place above the blue sky..."

   Lilian was silent for a moment, then spoke again, in a sincere tone.

   "No thanks, Lilian-senpai... I just had a flash of inspiration."

   Colin didn't expect Lilian to suddenly say such a thing, and his face was slightly startled.

   There is a layer above the blue sky... Most people will not think of it, this is the limitation of thinking.

   At the beginning, he didn't think about it, he just noticed it vaguely, and he didn't dare to confirm it until this time when Anando's Dice gave a new, smaller location.

   "Excessive modesty is not a good thing, Colin." Lillian smiled lightly, and two shallow pear vortices suddenly appeared on the delicate white face, forming a sweet smile.

   This is a rare expression on Lillian's face.

   "The flame shield just now, and the silent sorcery that is currently being used... are sorcery that I have never seen before.

   But these two sorceries, in terms of effects, are at least first-order median sorcery.

   However, if I remember correctly, you've only just advanced to the first-order wizard and it's been less than a month..."

   She continued, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if an iceberg was melting, her face that had only been firm and serious, suddenly became vivid, and she stared at Colin a little narrowly.

  Colin was silent, just smiled.

   In fact, the silence above the golden paper is just a first-order low-level witchcraft.

   It may be special to take into account both effects, and Lillian will feel that it is at least a first-order median witchcraft.

   As for being seen by Lillian that he has an extraordinary talent for mastering witchcraft... It's nothing, and he didn't want to hide it from Lillian.

  Lillian smiled at the silent Colin, retracted her gaze, and continued to say while walking towards the palace:

   "Let's go, according to legend, the wizards who have been to the palace of the Elf Kingdom have all obtained their own treasures from it!

   In other words, the treasure house of the elves, at least the high elves, is probably in the palace in front of you! "

   Lilian's tone of excitement swept away the depression just now.

  Kolin felt a little more relaxed, at least under the effect of Anando's dice, he knew that the palace in front of him did contain treasures.

   The two came to the palace, where the gate had already been opened... violently opened.

The one to the left of the    golden gate is already crumbling, and in its lower half, there is a hole the size of a person.

   In front of the gate, there are also obvious signs of battle, and the remains of two broken elf sculptures are lying in the center.

   Lilian frowned, cautiously stepped forward to check, then turned her head and said to Colin:

   "The traces are very new... Junior Colin, you're right, the reason why we couldn't find the third group is probably because they came here!"

   "There is a high probability that it is within the palace." Colin nodded, and carefully discerned the traces of the battle in front of him.

   These fresh battle traces are combined with the results of Anando's dice.

   If there is no fourth group of people in the elf kingdom, it will undoubtedly indicate the position of the fourth treasure given by the previous Anando's die, which is the position of the third group that has never been found!

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the palace in front of him... There was the second position given by Anando's dice.

   "The strength of that group doesn't look weak." At this moment, Lilian spoke again, her face serious.

   She pointed to the elf-shaped sculpture and said, "Even though these gatekeeper sculptures have been in disrepair for a long time, as the gatekeeper sculptures of the elf family, their strength will not be weak."

   As she spoke, Lillian reached out and touched the smooth off-white ground.

  Under the effect of silence, there was no sound when the fingertips touched the ground, but the next moment, a shallow pit suddenly appeared on the slate.

  Lillian retracted her arm, looked at the surrounding battle marks, pondered for a moment and speculated:

   "Those people, I am afraid at least have the strength of the first-order advanced... At least the strength of the attack in front of the gate here is about the first-order advanced... And from the traces of the battle, there is only one person in the whole process."

   "It's also possible that only one person shot." Colin said softly.

   "Yes." Lillian nodded slightly, "Let's go, move on."

   She glanced at the sculptures on the ground, "On the bright side, at least they cleared a lot of obstacles for us."

   Even so, Lillian's complexion inevitably darkened slightly.

   There are not many traces of the battle in front of the door, and the whole battle ended in an extremely neat way... Although the attack strength displayed is only a first-order advanced.

   But this can only represent the lower limit of the strength of the third group.

   As for the upper limit... No one can tell.

If it is a second-order, or there are more than one person, but three or four people... Even if you take a step back, there are only two people in that group, and two first-order high-level strengths, I am afraid that just relying on her as a first-order high-level wizard, even if there is a science Lin's help was also difficult to cope with.

   However, the only good thing is that she and Colin are still in the dark.

  ‘Fortunately, I met Colin. ' Thinking of this, Lilian couldn't help but sigh.

   Above the blue sky was discovered by Colin, and the white flower that inferred the existence of the third group was also discovered by Colin...and his little elf.

If I hadn't met Colin and the little elf named Nassi, I'd be trapped in the sub-space of the high elves at the moment, and I don't know if I could find life... Or, I could only be trapped to death in the end there.

   Colin, who was behind him, naturally didn't see Lilian's complicated mental activity in front of him, but he was also a little worried about the strength of the third group. At this moment, his eyes also looked at the position given by Anando's die from time to time.

   "Another battle trace."

   Right at this moment, Lillian suddenly voiced and pointed to the hall in front of her.

  Colin followed the path and saw another fragmented sculpture. This time the sculpture was still in the shape of a high elf, with long hair and pointed ears, but compared to the sculpture at the door, the armor on its body was more gorgeous.

   As for strength... I'm afraid it has declined to the level of the gatekeeper sculpture outside.

  Because from the traces of the battle, it is also a fast battle, and the attack strength used is only a first-order advanced level.

   "Go ahead." Lilian retracted her gaze and said softly.

   Next, the two continued to head towards the depths of the palace... Even without Colin's deliberate guidance, according to the battle marks that appeared from time to time, Lilian's direction was the direction indicated by Anando's dice.

   This also made Colin more certain. The result given by Anando's dice turned out to be the third group.

   After a while, the two had to stop in a grand hall.

   In front of them, lay a huge tree wreckage.

Trees have a sturdy face that is cut with a knife and axe. They not only have a human-like torso, but also have a head and limbs like a human being, but they are only composed of knotted wood, and their size is much larger. Roughly speaking, At least ten meters in height!

   "This is a war tree...?" Lillian frowned slightly, "Shouldn't such a cruel creature be completely destroyed after the war ended a thousand years ago?"

   "War Treant...?" Colin asked suspiciously.

"With the help of the elves, the wizard has developed a giant weapon specially used for war with the help of the tree elves' talent in plant life, coupled with the knowledge of witchcraft in flesh and blood transformation... Behind every war tree man, there is a There is a soul imprisoned and tortured."

  Lilian said as she approached the war tree man, and cautiously reached out to touch it.

   "If you just use your soul, it's nothing, it's not cruel... After all, during the war a thousand years ago, there were always people who didn't even deserve to keep their souls.

But the soul needed by the war tree people is not that simple... The soul of the first-order wizard strength is only up to the bottom line of transformation, and it must be extremely firm in the heart to resist the inexplicable combination of flesh and blood and the huge tree body. crazy thoughts. "

   "But even so, those wizards or elves who have undergone transformation have to suffer from crazy thoughts all the time until their souls dissipate." Lilian sighed.

   Those wizards or elves who have a firm will and can withstand transformation will not be unknown in any era.

  In the war thousands of years ago, it could only be used as such a consumable…

   "I'm afraid this is not a primitive war tree."

   At this moment, Colin suddenly pointed to the chest of the war tree man and said.

  There, there is no longer the rough bark chest of the tree man shaded by green leaves, but a circular groove.

   In the center of the groove, is a dark red gem that has been broken into several pieces.

   Lilian also noticed this, and her expression changed slightly.

   "This is something that has never been recorded... The elves are still studying the war tree after the war?!"

   "Perhaps there are wizards involved, otherwise it's just the elves..." Colin speculated.

"No, it may be that the elves are continuing their research alone!" Lilian shook her head and denied Colin's speculation, she turned her head and explained, "From the outside, the elves are a race that only relies on the power of blood, no Will explore and research knowledge like a wizard...

   But when I was young, my mother once told me that during the war, perhaps because of the influence of wizards, the elves gradually began to study their own power!

   Especially the tree elves known for their wisdom, they cooperated with wizards to research many achievements during the war, and the war tree man in front of them is one of them. "

   Colin nodded slightly.

   But in fact, he doesn't care whether the elves are studying the war tree people, he only knows that they may have a lot of trouble now...

   "Sister Lilian, the dark ruby ​​on the chest of this war tree man has obvious traces of contamination."

   Colin pointed at the shattered gem on the treant's chest with a solemn expression, and said,

   "And senpai, look at that gem carefully... It seems that there are faint characters in the ancient Elvish language that we saw on the lower shelf before!"

  Lilian heard the words, and could not help but take a few steps closer to check it carefully.

   After a while, her pupils shrank slightly.

   Among the fragments of gems, almost every piece has one or several characters with purple meaning looming up and down!

   "And Lilian-senpai. From the cross section of the gem, it has been broken for a long time... The skin and torso of the tree man is also extremely dry." Colin added, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

   This war tree man, just from the appearance, should have been dead for a long time... But the fresh battle traces around reminded them that this war tree man was still in normal activities not long ago.

   "Could it be because of the previous wind of dark red pollution?" Lilian frowned, and suddenly said with a flash of inspiration.

  'Wind of Pollution...' Colin was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, he immediately connected everything.

   "Are you saying that this tree man, who had long since died, was like those books that were lifeless. Because of those strange words, when the dark red wind came, it suddenly came to life?"

   "Yeah." Lilian nodded and shook her head again, "Those strange characters, so strange, are probably not ancient Elvish.

   Now it seems that it may be a good thing to disappear..."

   Colin's heart sank slightly, but soon, he suppressed his extra thoughts, glanced at the war tree man and said solemnly:

   "I took a closer look. There are forty-eight fresh wounds exposed on the body of the war tree man, but I am afraid there is only one fatal wound."

   said here, he pointed to the penetrating wound the size of a baby's head on the head of the war tree man.

   As for why you can be sure that there is probably a fatal wound there.

the reason is simple-

   The remaining forty-seven wounds only scratched the epidermis, or only caused a shallow gravure, and the heaviest one was only about ten centimeters deep.

   For the huge body of the war tree man, it is obviously impossible to be a fatal wound.

   "Of course, it may not be a fatal injury, the war tree man is now lifeless, or it may be because the dark red wind has stopped...

   But no matter what, the penetrating wound on the head was mostly caused by the third group! "

   Colin added again:

   "And an attack that can cause such a wound..."

   "At least it's the second order." Lillian took over what he didn't finish, and her face was a little heavy.

  Colin closed his mouth, and his face became condensed.
