Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1091 The First Confrontation
"Return to Dream" is a fairly typical fantasy adventure novel. It has a stronger connection with "Drifting in the Nameless Sea" in terms of content, because they are both stories of drifting at sea, which can be seen at a glance.But after talking with Cynthia, Lu Ning discovered that there is actually more content hidden in this book-something that would be considered as just the setting of the story.

Unlike the previous two novels, which were almost all fantasy adventures, although they were accompanied by some supernatural phenomena, they were all limited to the scope of "phenomena". For the first time, "Back to Dream" depicts several people who can use magic in the book. Humanity.

"Ether", the word mentioned by Cynthia is also used in the book, but the type of ether mentioned in the book is not as many as the number Cynthia said, it is only used by a few magicians in it.

Polar ether, fallen ether, sky ether, storage ether, swing ether.

To be honest, although the magic in this world is currently very weak, its special degree is different from many magic systems that Lu Ning has seen. This is why the magic system is so difficult to learn. Almost every magic system They all call themselves a faction.

If Zhou Weiyuan was here, he might be very happy.

It's a pity that Lu Ning is not a magic expert. She can only understand the effects of these magics through the descriptions in the book, and she is not even sure whether the descriptions in the book are true.

This book is the paper version she was looking for. Renix did collect some things, but his magic-related books were not kept in the study, and they should have been disposed of. Things can also use a variety of different carriers. Lu Ning saw that Reynix had activated some small magic, and she was able to know what Reynix's magic book was through her own feelings on the body——that is, Bakushima Island.

Different from the magical world that Lu Ning experienced before, although the magic guide books there can also be of various kinds, with the high compression and spiritual recording method of magic, even a single leaf can carry a lot of magic knowledge.The magic book in this scene actually needs to copy down the corresponding magic spells in large sections, so the larger the carrier, the more the amount and intensity of magic that can be released will be improved.From this point of view, Lynwood is still modest when he said that no one on the island can kill Renix with magic. It should be said that all the magicians on the island combined cannot beat him.

So how did Renix die?

Lu Ning frowned slightly, then suddenly raised her head and reached into her collar. There was a red string there, which was an accessory she wore every day.As the finger touched the red rope, the rope quickly burned and disappeared like a ignited fuse, and the ornament hanging at the end also fell into his arms.The brilliance of the ability's activation flashed between her fingers, and the effect of "burning fire" had been triggered by Lu Ning. She withdrew her hand, and on the forearm carrying the gun arm, flames had poured into her vision. A desire to destroy emerged from the bottom of my heart.

Looking at the rooms one by one, they all have the most basic furniture and are ready for occupancy at any time.However, these seven children have always been very sure about the choice of the annex, so it is almost certain that no one lives in the Eagle Eye Hall.

"Should something come out to attack me at this time?" Lu Ning thought leisurely, let go of one hand, and touched it to her arms. The pistol she got yesterday is still there, which can increase a little sense of security.

"How should I get in this place?" Lu Ning searched carefully, but couldn't find where the mechanism was.If she was really in a hurry, she might have to find a way to blow up the top before she could go down.

It's a pity that Yuangu Terakuro didn't give a particularly detailed description of the magician's spells in the book, so Lu Ning couldn't judge how many spells the other party had prepared based on this.

But... is there really no one living here?
Lu Ning tapped the floor and the wall lightly, trying to find out if there were any hidden rooms in the annex, and soon, she felt a different sound in a place under her feet.

Does the rain become constant because someone died, or because someone didn't die?
Lu Ning picked up her medical kit and went downstairs.The hall is now empty, and the main hall is also very deserted, and no one has noticed her actions.Lu Ning went to the servant's room to get a car key, took an umbrella and walked outside.

Lu Ning got out of the car.The other party did not continue to attack the car, and obviously knew that such an attack could not kill her.

Lu Ning walked to the Eagle Eye Pavilion, and opened the door of the Eagle Eye Pavilion with a universal key that she handed over.The designs of the eight annexes are different. The Eagle Eye Hall is the one with the largest area, and its design is more inclined to the architectural style with soft lines, with fewer edges and corners.Lu Ning walked into the house, but couldn't smell any dust. It should be that the servants had been cleaning it before.

If it's not tourists who kill people, then it's worthless.

Everyone in the main building knows that everyone in Cynthia's room got a gun last night, so the other party knows that she has a gun in her hand. Let's calculate it based on the fact that the enemy knows his level of marksmanship. This enemy will never expose himself under her vision.

It's interesting, the opponent seems to know her a little bit.

But... there are still some other issues that can be considered.

Driving on the highway, Lu Ning had some intuitions. Compared with the previous round, this easily gave her a sense of déjà vu.

"coming."

Sure enough, at this moment, a dark blue shadow suddenly appeared under the road where she was just now. After the shadow extended about one meter into the air, it twisted left and right, and there was a crushing sound from there. The stones in the covered area were all shattered into powder in an instant.

Among the eight branches prepared by Raynix, only the Eagle Eye was unoccupied, but this location was a bit strange.Because according to the location of Bagua Bamen, the Eagle Eye Pavilion is located in the threshold, not the gate of death, and the location near the coast is not too bad. It is not really arranged by Reynix to accommodate the likes and dislikes of the children. stay.

Lu Ning closed the book in her hand, her heart moved slightly, she turned her head and glanced out the window.

A mixed red and black beam of light quickly penetrated the car's fuel tank.

But the floor cannot be disassembled, but a whole piece embedded with tiles, there is no gap like a door on the top, even if there is a hole below, it probably doesn't come in from here.

The fifth attack has not yet come, is it a suspicious strategy, or is the opponent's magic reserve already stretched?

She walked around the room again, and roughly judged the shape of the space below, which did not correspond to the pattern of the building above. It was like digging another building out of the ground after the house was built.

Tourists know Reynix is ​​dangerous, and Mayuri Shirota was late enough to take a shot at her last round, let alone this one.

"...But what does this have to do with me?"

Therefore, fighting with this kind of magician must be an offensive and defensive battle of information. She needs to guess the type of ether used by the opponent, the type of magic prepared, and the amount of remaining magic... Of course, the possibility that this may be a tourist's ability must also be considered. sex.

Still need to sell another flaw?
After thinking for a while, Lu Ning took out a glass bottle wrapped in cloth from the medicine box she carried with her, then counted to three silently in her heart, threw the bottle in the direction where the flames were fired just now, and then immediately took it out of the slope. Then he rushed out and ran back to the car.

This was a very obvious attack by a magician. Lu Ning twisted the car door and got out, hid behind the car, and glanced at the place where the fireball hit just now, it was already extinguished by the rain.

The magicians in this scene have strict requirements for casting spells, so they are very similar to the magicians who need spell slots. They must prepare for magic in advance, and they can only predict and cannot change it on the spot.At the same time, the casting materials and the magic book also limit the power and effect of the spell. The spark magic just concentrated its power on the path through the car, and after passing through that path, the spark will be easily extinguished by the rain .

"The attack just now... can be dodged, so the magic is not defined to the point of 'hitting the car', but the more general 'penetrating damage' is used as the basic description of spellcasting." Lu Ning thought, "So for the From the opponent's point of view, this ambush was premeditated, but the target of the ambush is not completely certain. At the same time, daring to use a chance of magic on this kind of attack with a slightly tentative meaning shows that the opponent has prepared a sufficient amount of magic."

Lu Ning didn't think it was suicide, but more like her last choice, that is, she didn't fight back when she was killed.

She stepped on the brake instantly, pulled the handbrake, and turned the steering wheel, causing the car to drift sideways for a short distance, and the spark slashed across the glass in front of her, quickly leaving a burn mark.

Burning fire is different from the curse killing ability. It doesn't need a ritual as a prerequisite. As long as there is a lit fire around, this ability can be activated. By touching the "lead" as the activation signal, it can lock a victim within five seconds. The living target that the initiator is looking at will ignite it. The more people around the target, the slower the igniting speed. If there are no other people present, the target can be ignited immediately.This ability only burns the target and the objects carried by the target, and nothing around it will be burned.

Generally speaking, the element of weather is non-variable, and if it changes, it means that there are human factors in it.The last round of rain was intermittent.

When she stepped on the ground, she saw sharp stone thorns growing on a stone not far away.

As soon as the train of thought came here, Lu Ning suddenly caught a glimpse of a ray of fire from the corner of his eyes.

"You can't see where I was just now from your position." Lu Ning didn't stay by the car for too long, but left with one touch, because she already knew that the other party's third spell——

Lu Ning slowly slid down the road. She didn't lock the target in the direction where the magic was fired, because magicians can set magic.But the opponent must be watching nearby, otherwise the sniping just now would not be so accurate.

Lu Ning raised her gun to shoot, and a bullet smashed the stone thorn into pieces.At the same time, the car finally exploded, high temperature and flames roared past Lu Ning's head, and the light also illuminated the darkness of the surrounding rainy day. Huoguang continued to search for that possible position.

The Luomu Pavilion was getting closer and closer, and Lu Ning's spirit became more and more concentrated.Isn't her location out of the way enough?Isn't the opportunity good enough to leave alone?Whether it is the people in the scene or the tourists, no one has a little idea of ​​doing it?
If not, then at least there is no enmity with him in this round...

It's still raining, and it's a torrential downpour.

Sure enough.

The high temperature generated by the magic penetration quickly ignited the gasoline, and an explosion was gaining momentum.However, Lu Ning took advantage of the opponent's magic attack and crossed the road, slid down, pulled out his pistol, and quickly swept his eyes over the jagged rocks.

There was no other way, so Lu Ning had no choice but to give up and continue to rush to the next target, the Luomu Pavilion.She planned to check all the eight annexes, taking advantage of the fact that the environment was relatively safe and everyone was concentrated in the main building.Although judging from the time spent in an annex, it is definitely impossible to check it all today.

The trouble is that in rainy days, the visibility is not very good.

"The magician's attack is strictly limited, but because of this, the directionality is very obvious." Lu Ning wiped the rainwater from her face, but felt her body was slightly warming up. She was feeling excited, because it had been a long time since there was a scene like this It fits her personality preference.

The attack speed is faster.

"neither."

The Eagle Eye Pavilion is not far from the coast, and it only takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach, and the distance from the port is not too far.There is a swimming pool on the side of the Eagle Eye Pavilion, and there are two small pools at the entrance, which are indeed surrounded by water.

—It must be attacking the car.

She drove to the Eagle Eye Pavilion by the sea.

Then this is not a particularly good ambush position. There are not many numbers on the road to Luomu Pavilion, but some strange-shaped rocks. After all, that position corresponds to the "Gen" position, and the surrounding mountains are very prominent. .However, these stones are not naturally generated, but are piled up artificially, so they are actually not that hidden.

Lu Ning raised her gun and aimed it at the direction in the sky, which was not high from the ground, almost parallel to the position of the car on the road.When she took aim, the sense of destruction that emerged seemed to find a vent, and it was released instantly with the pull of the trigger.

A bright fire exploded in the air, about the size of a football, and it turned into a ball of fireworks and fell to the ground in the gorgeous burning. It was not a person, but a familiar beast summoned by magic.

"Oh...the first time I dealt with a magician, I really wasn't very proficient." Lu Ning shook her head with some regret, but she wasn't particularly annoyed, and she didn't expect to be able to kill him in the first confrontation. a magician.

But tonight, this man had to die.
