Returning from the abyss

Chapter 487 Oriole
"People in this world, everyone has their own philosophy of survival. There is no distinction between high and low in knowledge. They are only arrogant because of their own achievements, but they don't know that looking for the countless wisdom of the world is nothing more than narrow-mindedness after all. generation."

The old man on the sickbed raised his hand and lightly touched the forehead of the boy kneeling beside the bed.

"The magic book...is a success, but it is also a failure. It seals up wisdom and separates it. The immeasurable pollution is the retribution of this kind of separation. However, there is a magic book, and there is no one. The magic guide book that was written, it will not have that kind of problem...it is what our ancestors wanted to write for generations...the law of heaven...the grand lord..."

The old man's voice gradually lowered, and his hands dropped.

The young man held the old man's still withered palm, lowered his head, and kissed each of his fingers.

The ruins of the ring-shaped star city named after it by the Star Ring Sect finally appeared in the sky above Ewalang—this is not accurate, because judging by the height and volume of the star city, people on the entire continent may be able to see it. can see.

Lu Ning raised her head, and through the not-so-thick mist, she faintly saw the ring in the sky.

"Lilian! Don't be distracted!" Pierre was still very vigilant about the summoned star ring, and Liz's expression also showed deep vigilance, and even the people brought by the two gathered together Showing a defensive look, only Lu Ning looked surprised.

After all—too small.

The ring-shaped building that occupies almost the entire sky can indeed cause people who see it for the first time to suffer from giant phobia, but for Lu Ning, a little calculation of the proportions in his mind can tell that the size of the ring is smaller than the planet under his feet The circumference of the circle, otherwise one can only see part of the circle, how can there be a complete circle?
So Lu Ning's first reaction was, the Halo Sect sacrificed countless lives and paid so much, and this is what they summoned after all the tossing?Isn't this a little too small compared to the things they recited when offering sacrifices?

At this moment, a golden meteor fell from the sky and fell only a few hundred meters away from them. The ground trembled for a moment. Lu Ning immediately withdrew her attention and looked towards the direction where the meteor fell.Parcival and the Star Sequencer stood at such a high place that they could be seen as long as they observed carefully, and the meteor was exactly the Star Sequencer that was blasted down by Percival.

"Let's go."

"That guy is dangerous! If he doesn't die—"

"Kill him if he's not dead." Lu Ning said simply, and ran towards the direction where the meteor fell.

Most people didn't dare to move when the star ring appeared, which also left a lot of convenience for Lu Ning to rush over. After she walked around a few streets, she could see a big hole that was smashed in the distance .Parcival would still consider Ewalang at this time. No one passed by the place where the gun was aimed.

Lu Ning stood by the edge of the crater. In the center of the falling meteorite, a spear still shining with golden flames firmly nailed the indistinct body of the Star Sequencer, but he is also worthy of being the current leader of the Star Ring , still not dead.When he looked up and saw Lu Ning, he actually let out a laugh.

"Haha... people love to join in the fun... it will never change."

He stretched out his hand, and with a distorted voice, he roared, "Exactly! Then you will replace me—"

Lu Ning didn't wait for him to finish yelling. She threw out her hand that had been in her pocket in an instant, and accurately threw a ball at the star sequencer, then rolled on the spot and left the edge of the hole.

The huge pulling force from the Star Sequencer's hand hit the ball and also tore off the soil around the pit. Lu Ning avoided him so quickly. She didn't expect it, but she didn't care. She continued to increase the pulling force to pull Lu Ning from Ripped off the outside.The ball hit the palm of his hand, and it was instantly rendered invisible by the inexplicable blurred power on his body.

"Alchemy props?"

The Star Sequencer let out a suspicious cry, and immediately, a purer light flashed under the pit.

The yin-yang jade made by Lu Ning separates yin and yang by shortening the distance, but this distance is the limit she cannot break through.It is actually very long, but it is only 30 meters. This is the limit of what she can refine at present. With that kind of pulling force, plus the blurred distance at the last moment, "yin" and "yang" Finally got in touch.

In magic, it is named shrinking reaction, and in oriental classics, it is named returning to chaos. As a refiner, Lu Ning naturally understands that this is equivalent to annihilation in a certain sense.

People like Soigo can transfer the annihilation energy, but they also dare not keep them. During the refining process, they dispersed the amount of reacting substances in each area as much as possible.However, the total amount of yin and yang reacting under the pit now is thousands of times that of each light point at that time.

It took a full three seconds for the intense light to dissipate completely, before Lu Ning turned her head and returned to the edge of the pit.The potholes that have been washed by the strong energy of the confluence of yin and yang have crystallized on the surface, smooth as a carefully polished mirror.And there was an extra crystal at the bottom of the pit, and the center of the energy explosion instantly burned Percival's golden flame spear and the star sequencer into one, turning into a crystal that exuded rainbow-like light, but the center of the crystal was still the same. It's an indistinct mass of matter.

Lu Ning carefully smashed the crystal layer with a dagger, and walked to the bottom of the pit little by little.

"It would be much more convenient if it was directly burned into a crystal of light." She stood in front of the crystal, looked at it carefully, and was sure that the fuzzy mass in the inner layer had no signs of life, so she was relieved.

"But speaking of it... this guy just wants to die, right? He expects to use his soul to cause a disaster and become the last gift to raise the gods. I don't know if we should say pious or mentally ill." Lu Ning knocked Looking at the crystal, I found that the hardness is not too high, and there is no high temperature as expected. It seems that the contraction of yin and yang is somewhat different from annihilation in the sense of magic.But this is also a good thing, she began to try to dig out the crystals with a dagger, as for the Star Sequencer, she had already taken precautions.

At this time, every Halo believer sensed the death of the Star Sequencer, and through a special connection, they started the last prayer together, but this time, the ruined city floating above the sky did not answer their prayer .

"What's going on?" The leader of a stargazer was the first to notice something was wrong, and immediately began to check the situation of the ceremony, but everything went according to plan, even the death of the star sequencer was planned, but in the end However, the most important "gaze from the gods" did not descend from the sky.

"Looks like a failure."

With a stern shout, the gate of the ceremony site was cut into pieces with two knives, and a captain rushed in with the guards, and the magical light and shadow instantly filled the area.Similar things happened everywhere, and the reaction speed of the guards was not too slow, and it didn't take too long to find the place of the ceremony under such a drastic change in magic power after the ceremony was officially launched.

Regrettably, due to the influence of the twelve outer districts, some believers who were aware of the problem escaped in advance in disguise.There are also some believers who tried to commit suicide to sacrifice themselves, but because of the lack of ritual guides, they only became personal sacrifices, far from touching the star rings in the sky.

At this time, a group of souls of the Star Sequencer floated in a black and white space.

"Welcome." A voice came from the sky.

"Consciousness? Why am I still conscious? What is this place? Why didn't the sacrifice continue?"

"Here is the place of nothingness where the dead and the living meet, a cage of eternity that no one touches," the voice responded.

The Star Sequencer subconsciously wanted to use magic, but nothing appeared. Then he tried to shape his own body, but also failed.When he called out to the sky again, he could no longer hear the answer from that voice.

"The tenth."

Yuanzi Pengshan, who had spread his domain to the entire Penglai House, was sitting in the quiet room where he often sat. The soul of the star sequencer had been taken away on the Conferred God Stage, and he would never go where he wanted to go.When all the dust settles and life and death are cut apart, the only thing waiting for him is another death, and this time there will be no one to assist him in sacrificing his own soul.

"But... you can really kill, Lu Ning." Pengshan Yuanzi took out a list from his cuff, on which four names were written, one of which is already in place.

"Now that she has achieved the first step, we have to fulfill our promise. Evolution and the Halo Sect are all cannon fodder that are placed in the open to attract attention. It is also time to let the cannon fodder leave the stage and see the real main plan of the other party. What's up. Huh?"

Two butterflies made of lines flew in from the window, Yuanzi Pengshan raised his finger to catch the next one, and pondered for a moment: "Since Heinz has transferred to the garnet area, let everyone withdraw and leave the plague to them to deal with. "

This butterfly flew away, and the other one landed again, but it didn't land on the finger, but turned into a linear human figure on the ground.

"I'm sorry, Yuanzi, I'll use your dead soul butterfly to bring you a message." Juno stood in front of Pengshan Yuanzi. Her five-sense spell is really convenient to use in such a place, but unfortunately because of the distance, this is just a video A class of things.

"Garcia and I have already left the range where the rabbits dig holes, and managed to let the guards here discover the fact that the rabbits exist. The problem in the amethyst area will probably be resolved soon. But there is an unexpected discovery, we are in A body was found in the basement of a home."

Pengshan nodded. He deliberately mentioned a corpse at this time, so the identity of the corpse must be very special.

"Garcia conducted a simple summoning and found that this person was actually a tourist. His identity was a gem dealer. This person died very early, and he probably didn't even come to the opening day. But the recruiting can only ask this More, according to Garcia's memory, the gem shop owned by this businessman had some accidents, and then reopened, and a person suspected of being a tourist worked in that gem shop."

Since Juno emphasized this fact, it is very likely that the murderer was the tourist.

"At present, I can't find the trace of that tourist. Garcia should have mentioned this to you. Maybe we can target a hostile tourist. You have to be careful."

After saying this, Juno's image turned into a butterfly again.

"I remember that name, isn't it Eli?" Pengshan pondered, "I remember that this person seems to be lucky, and he can easily get access to multiple clues?"

After some effort, Lu Ning finally chiseled out the crystal, but it was still huge.

"Lillian."

A voice came from behind, Lu Ning turned her head and saw Xue Ni.

"It's really... all here today?"

"You should know that Pierre will not fail to inform me." Xue Ni said lightly, "He is loyal to me, even if he recognizes your judgment and action."

"Does this tone mean that I'm not trustworthy? Xue Ni?" Lu Ning smiled.

"It's not, Lilian, I've known for a long time that you are not as simple as you appear on the surface, nor are you as simple as your own experience, but I still use you because I am also the same person." Xue Ni folded her arms , "But I need an evidence after all. Everything before can be explained with wisdom, but this appearance has already entered the category of power."

"Forget it, Xue Ni, I believe that the strength you have now is not a junior magician." Lu Ning walked up the road dug out when she came step by step. Xue Ni didn't stop her, she stood by and gave way. One way.

"My perception of you has changed many times, Xue Ni. But now, I can't estimate how much power you have in the Ewa Gallery. Maybe you can't touch the Violet Library, but the periphery... you managed it After so many years, what has been accumulated can even become an underground king, right?"

"...Your judgment is really exaggerated."

"Don't be too quick to deny it."

After Lu Ning confirmed that Eliel was a tourist, she paid special attention to this person.She learned a lot of information from the store clerk, most of which were negative, but at the same time it reflected... this apprentice-level enchanter can also come into contact with a lot of unusual events, and even participate in them.

If he is a tourist, then Lu Ning can easily judge that Yilael should be similar to his own position, that is, "a role of adventure".That being the case, based on the principle of fairness in the distribution center, the level of people and things that the two can meet should be similar.

Eliel has long since disappeared from the store, so where has he gone?Either hide, but hiding is too much of a waste of your luck, or you have met a higher-level person, and your status has improved significantly, so you left.Lu Ning has not left the original location of the one-eyed squid so far, so there should be people of similar level around her.The most similar is Xue Ni.

She won't say these inferences, but most of them are speculations, and it's okay to fool Xue Ni a little bit here.

"Back to the topic, Lilian, how can I be sure that you won't lose control, and won't do something that endangers Avalon?"

"Can you tell me about the source of your doubts? I've been helping Ewalon all this time."

"Todd." Xue Ni replied immediately.

Of course Pierre answered every question with her, and Lu Ning knew this, so she quickly understood.

"Because I used the method of inducing a crime to let Todd find the forces behind it?"

"You are not worried that this plan will hurt anyone, that is what I am worried about. It is undeniable that you are indeed helping Evalon, but how many sacrifices will you make that you don't care about? I can't guarantee it."

"And in my subsequent actions, your suspicion has expanded..." Lu Ning took out Xue Ni's gem, "I think this gem has some monitoring functions from the beginning?"

Xue Ni was silent, also acquiescing.

"Then I admit that I myself cannot predict how many people will die along the way."
