The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 722 Magic
  As soon as he was able to enter the secret snow area of ​​the library, Albad, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately rushed out of the room where he was placed and rushed towards the library building in the college that he had already learned about. At this time, he He still looks like an old man in his movements.

After entering this quiet secret snow area, Albad fell into the ocean of knowledge, eagerly sucking in the profound magical knowledge accumulated by mankind over the long years. When he occasionally gets something, Albad will fall into deep meditation. He could have taken the opportunity to sit down and take notes, but because he signed a contract with Gunther and the others, he cannot leave any written records, so he can only rely on that. An old brain struggles to remember the key points.

Allen spent a lot of money to extend Albard's life, but during Albard's short time of reading the information, he could visibly develop towards the previous dying scene. The originally gray hair on his body now turned into snow white. The age spots that were originally just dotted on the skin were now gradually spreading, almost occupying all of Albad's skin.

The excessive consumption of energy makes Albad's memory and thinking more difficult and slow, and his thinking often even breaks down during the thinking process, making it more difficult for him to study and research.

Outside the secret room, Gunther and his colleagues were also observing Albad's movements through the phantom mirror. On the one hand, they were monitoring whether he had abided by their contract, and on the other hand, they were curious about how the other party was dragging this old man. Body, what is the real purpose of being so persistent.

Seeing the other party's appearance and temperament slowly aging and dying in front of everyone, Gunther and the human mages began to worry faintly that this dwarf would suddenly die on their territory, causing unnecessary trouble.

With this dwarf goblin being personally cared for by the demigod Allen and easily receiving all kinds of precious resources and support from the clan, as long as Gunther is not stupid, they must all know his position in the heart of the demigod bugbear.

"Otherwise... Dean, you should go in personally and persuade this dwarf mage to come out."

Samuel, a high-level electric mage, had a gloomy face and made his suggestion worriedly.

"...I'll go in and try."

Although Gunther lacked confidence, seeing Albad's aging face and spirit in the illusion mirror, he finally nodded in agreement.

Albad was consulting an experimental record specializing in triboelectricity. The conjectures and experiments above made Albad's eyes light up, as if he had found a way to clear up the fog that troubled him.

While he was watching crazily, a slow and steady footsteps suddenly came from the quiet secret room of the library. Although he was slow, Albad still noticed when the other party was approaching him and couldn't help but raise his head to check.

"Master Albad, you have been in this secret room for ten days. Why don't we go out to have a meal and rest first and then come back to continue checking?"

Gunther smiled and extended the invitation sincerely.

"...Have I been here for ten days?"

Albard realized later, as if the time he spent reading books and checking information before was only a few magic hours.

"Yeah, don't you feel tired and lack of energy replenishment?"

Gunther didn't take it seriously. Whenever a mage gains something or gets into some kind of obsessive research, he always forgets the passage of time, and even he is no exception.

"After hearing what you said, I'm really a little hungry."

Albad felt the feedback from his body, and then replied with a wry smile.

As the master of the body, Albad knows very well how his body has changed. Now that he feels the breath of death coming from the skin and cells of his body again, how can he not understand that his obsessive consumption in the past three days will finally end? It is to let myself step into the river of death again.

"Can you please Dean Gunther to help me prepare a laboratory while I eat and meditate for two hours? I would like to summarize the gains of these ten days."

Since everyone will die sooner or later, why should he care about the upcoming death? Anyway, Albad had already been mentally prepared for death a few years ago. Now that he has lived for a few more years, he has gained time. Especially in these few days, he has gained a lot. It seems that he has understood some natural laws that are clearly in front of him.

Albad is not afraid of death, but he hopes that before death comes, he can truly see the truth behind the thunder and lightning he has been pursuing for decades. Even if there is only a little bit of regularity, it is good.

"Well... why not, let's rest for a few more days."

Gunther was still a little worried. Just now he had sent someone to notify the goblins in the green field about Albad's situation. At least for now, Gunther, as the dean of the college, hopes to ensure that Albad, the dwarf elder, is alive before the person in charge of Green Field arrives.

"I know my own situation, Dean Gunther. If you ask me to give up research and experiments now, if the only belief I hold on to now collapses, I believe I will die in front of you on the spot."

"Although I don't want to cause any trouble to you, the laws of nature are right in front of me and within my reach. I am not willing to give up at the last moment!!!"

"........."

Albad said it sincerely, and the aura of decayed souls rippled in the secret room, making Gunther feel vaguely admired. Even if it was the headquarters of the Parliament of Truth in the Land of Ice and Snow, a mage who could persevere and never look back like the dwarf in front of him, Not much either.

"Okay, I promise you, but I hope your rest time can be extended a little longer. At least it will take some time for us to prepare the laboratory and supplies for you."

In the end, Gunther compromised and refused to stand firm for the other dwarfs who only pursued the true meaning of magic.

"That's great, don't worry, I already wrote a suicide note when I came here. Even if I really die in your college, as long as you hand the suicide note to our clan leader, they will definitely not blame you!!"

Albad breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old sir, don't say such depressing words. Although you look a little listless now, it's just because you have forgotten to eat and rest in the past ten days. After you have eaten and replenished your energy, you can have a good deep sleep. Meditation can definitely restore your vitality, and it shouldn’t be a problem to live for a few more years.”

Gunther smiled with relief, as if he was not worried that something unexpected happened to Albad and would bring trouble to them.

"Haha, maybe."

Albad just responded with a free and easy smile, looking at his situation calmly and without any fear or regret.

After simply eating something, Albad couldn't feel any taste when the food entered his mouth. It tasted like chewing wax. Even if the food finally entered the body, Albad could hardly feel the digestion action of the internal organs on them. It seemed that These organs have begun to go into hibernation.

Just frowning slightly, Albad immediately suppressed these feelings deep in his mind, and then he started meditating directly in front of the dinner table in front of his companions, obviously not wanting to waste any more of his own energy.

Anyway, he is considered dead now, and he doesn't believe that anyone will do anything against him on the territory of the Magic Academy. In this case, why should he waste his precious energy and go to the so-called rest room? !
  Without thinking or thinking, let go of everything and let the mental power set out from the exhausted sea of ​​consciousness, passing through the dead blood vessels along the way, stimulating and squeezing out the last potential of the body. For what is probably the last experiment in this life, Albad has already Prepare yourself for everything.

When the appointed time arrived, without anyone reminding him, Albad opened his eyes and saw Gunther knocking at the door, who should have settled everything.

"Everything is ready."

Albad's current temperament is different in Gunther's eyes. Although his body is more decayed, his spirit is exceptionally strong, full of hope and fighting spirit. However, Gunther suddenly realized a little more in his heart. The old dwarf goblin was probably at the end of his strength and was only relying on his last belief to support him. Regardless of whether the experiment was completed or not, he was afraid that the other party would never have a chance to survive.

unless……

Gunther thought of a possibility, but then shook his head, throwing this almost impossible hope out of his mind.

"Thank you for your generous sharing, which gave me the opportunity to see the ideal I have been pursuing for a long time before I die."

Hearing this, Albad raised his head and sincerely thanked Gunther and the two human companions beside him. “Even if I get nothing in the end, I don’t have any regrets.”

At this moment, the attitude and determination displayed by Albad were moving. As fellow travelers who were also on the path of pursuing the truth of nature, Gunther and the others were deeply touched.

"I hope you can see the true side of the world."

Gunther sent his sincere blessings.

"Thank you."

Click! ! !

The heavy door of the laboratory slowly closed, and protective magic was activated, tightly wrapping the laboratory isolated in the east corner of the mage tower. Although the protective magic in the laboratory is not as powerful as the protective power of the Mystic Lock, it is enough to temporarily resist the attacks of legendary level experts.

And these protective magics are not only to protect against external attacks and disturbances, but actually to protect against terrible and weird magic experiments in the laboratory. If there are any explosions or energy storms inside, it is basically impossible to escape these dozens of layers of magic. The restraint of the shield ensures the overall safety of the academy.

…………

"Isn't this nonsense??"

Allen quickly received Gunther's letter reporting the danger, and then his expression changed drastically and he slapped the desk in front of him, leaving a clear palm print on the heavy desk.

Although Allen has not deliberately paid attention to Albad's retirement in Green Lake Town in the past few years, he will pay attention to it from time to time to understand his physical and living conditions.

Of course, there must be a factor of cherishing the legendary seeds of the mage. After all, for today's Green Field Tribe, having one more legendary strongman, especially the legendary mage, will really improve the top power of the tribe. As the leader of a clan, he wants to see the clan become stronger and put the clan's interests first, which is what he should do.

But secretly, Allen still hopes that Albad, who has devoted his life to the tribe, can enjoy the benefits and peaceful life brought by the tribe in his last life.

If I had noticed this child's talent in the mage profession earlier, and had not let him waste most of his life on the side job of a strategic commander, and if I could have provided him with more and better resources, then maybe Alba would be the one he is today. De has already had a different life! !
  "Here comes...forget it, I guess there's nothing you can do against him, I'd better go there myself!!"

He was about to call someone to bring Albad back, but then he thought about it and gave up. Given his character, he would not give in easily, so it would be better to go there himself.

Even if he is going to die, Allen hopes that this child who has dedicated his life to the tribe will die on the territory of the Green Field Tribe, and that he will personally hold the first handful of earth on his grave. This is an honor that he should have received. .

At this time, there were a few ripples in Allen's heart. If he ascended to the throne of God and had his own divine kingdom, then with this child's loyalty and admiration for him, he would definitely become a devout believer. So, does that mean that he So his soul can be led to his own kingdom of God instead of being intercepted by other gods, and gain another kind of eternal life?

Whoosh! ! !
  Suddenly, a strong wind blew in front of the window of the castle, causing the open notebooks in the house to have pages with dense writing on them, making a swishing sound. However, Allen, who was sitting at the desk just now, had already Gone.

"...The steaming water vapor in the dark clouds may have produced a large amount of electrical elements through constant ups and downs and friction, so it appears..."

"No!! Friction alone may not be able to produce the electric element of such a powerful electric spell. There should be other factors involved!!"

"Could it be related to temperature? The temperature in the sky thousands of meters above sea level is already lower than the condensation point of water. Inside the seemingly fluffy clouds, there are actually ice crystals, ice fibers, supercooled water, etc. Made of elements.”

"If the water elements at low temperatures have different states due to their different states, and the water molecules they contain are different, coupled with the collision and friction of clouds..."

Albad was concentrating in front of a flawless crystal dome, constantly manipulating a magic device. In the crystal dome, there were mini dark clouds that suddenly rose and dissipated. Instead of falling with his words, they would also send out a series of mini dark clouds. lightning.

He continued to mutter to himself. Although lightning occasionally appeared in the mini clouds, he still could not fully explain the answer that Albad wanted.

"What else is there? What else is missing..."

Albad's eyes became confused, and the road ahead seemed to be plunged into fog again. The experiment that he thought was bound to succeed suddenly failed. It seemed that there was still something wrong with the many factors he had considered.

"Well, after I die, I hope to turn into the stars in the sky. Although I am not willing to compete with the sun, I can still overlook the world..."

The body gradually became stiff and cold, and the beating of the heart gradually became low and slow. Feeling that death was coming, Albad suddenly thought of a poem, murmured it in his mouth, and looked at the table in front of the experiment table with regret. Crystal cover.

"sun……"

"Yes!!! It's the energy of the sun..."

"I ignored the energy that the sun radiates in the world all the time. It must be closely related to the lightning and thunder in the sky!!"

Just when the divine light in his eyes was about to dissipate, a sudden radiance suddenly dispelled the fog in front of Albad. Death, which had lost the support of his heart and was gradually approaching, now regained its strength in Albad. Under such excitement, his steps were actually blocked.

"Yes! Yes! Sunlight is also a kind of energy. The energy storm it generates at high altitudes, although it cannot be detected, actually affects the powerful electrical elements that are constantly growing in the dark clouds..."

Albad had an exquisite mithril staff in his hand. As he continued to recite mysterious magic spells, he began to draw a large and complex spell model in front of him.

Clouds suddenly began to gather in the sky above Nasir Fortress. As more and more clouds gathered, the white clouds slowly moved towards dark clouds.

The gnolls, troll professionals in the city, as well as Gunther and others in the magic academy quickly realized that something was wrong, because these dark clouds that suddenly gathered were not only strange, but there were also obscure and powerful magic fluctuations in the dark clouds, which was enough. It can be proved that the dark clouds gradually covering half of the city are not natural changes, but are created by powerful spell casters casting spells in a certain place.

"Are you looking for death???"

"who is it???"

The figures of two legendary powerhouses, Tim and Bobby, suddenly shot up into the sky from the east and west city districts. The huge legendary pressure directly enveloped the entire city, looking for unknown spellcasters who dared to cast spells on their territory.

Huhu~~Huhu~~~
  Thousands of meters above the sky, the clouds were still gathering, showing no signs of dissipating due to the appearance of the two legendary powerhouses.

The two strong men with livid faces and exuding strong murderous intent were also a little surprised. In their perception, except for the laboratory of the Magic Academy, which was blocked by a mysterious magic shield, they did not find any magic aura in other corners of the city. , let alone find the source of magic - the existence of the caster.

Gunther stared at the laboratory in disbelief. He had a vague feeling that the powerful magic in the sky of Nasir Fortress might be inextricably related to the laboratory where defensive magic was being deployed at this time.

Just when he was about to look for evidence, there was a sudden sound of violent thunder in the sky, and then a huge electric snake fell from the sky, heading straight for the two legends Tim and Bobby, who wreaked havoc on the clouds, but could not stop the dark clouds from forming. .
