return to edgar

Chapter 59 Ladder

Link would have been able to swim, but now his body was heavy and heavy like a water-absorbed sponge, and no amount of swimming strokes could float him up.He ran out of spell slots, his body was too heavy to swim, and he soon began to lack oxygen.The feeling of suffocation was very painful, and the brain congestion gradually blurred the eyes.

"Grumbling..."

Heck, I pass the test and I'm drowning...

After a flurry of movement, the crystal bottle in his arms floated up.

[I have laid down the law of karma, you can come back after taking the source of magic power. 】

Remembering Bray's words, Link grabbed the bottle and pulled the cork, which was his last straw.

Just when Link was looking forward to returning to the correct time and space, everything around him became still, the bubbles no longer floated up, and the seawater poured into the bottle stopped flowing.A mass of huge black shadows covered the top of his head. Unable to move, he glanced out of the corner of his eye. It was a big guy like a whale, covered with rocks and water plants, and a white beam of light shot out from the vent hole on the top of his head.

Is this the Pillar of Water?The incarnation of the water god Andrea?

A scale fell off the body surface of the whale with a huge tail. It was not affected by gravity and time pause, and flew straight towards Link. After approaching, it split into countless fragments and drilled into Link's body surface.Instantly, the suffocation and stress are gone, and fresh air rushes into the lungs.

Link tried to inhale, and there was air as the sea water poured in.

Unscientific...you can breathe underwater without gills.

Out of the danger of drowning, he was in the mood to tease.

I began to recall the experience just now. The so-called trial is actually whether I can resist the temptation...

Thinking of the skeleton wearing a black robe, Link couldn't help shivering. It must be the Grim Reaper. Although the form was a little different from the one Yan Dong summoned with Lena's body, the aura of fear in his heart was exactly the same.

Thinking of how close he was to the god of death just now, he was also frightened for a while.

It's too risky, if you hesitate a little longer, you will definitely be caught by the god of death, when the time comes...

Not daring to think any further, Link tried to move his body, barely feeling the resistance of the water.His gaze fell on the crystal bottle suspended in the water. Except for himself, the entire space was still in a state of static time.The sea water still stayed at the neck of the bottle, and Link was about to reach out to touch it, when Andrea's avatar approached suddenly, startling him.

Thinking that all the gods of nature have mind-reading skills, he thought to himself, have I passed the test?

[You did pass the test. ] Andrea's voice echoed directly in Link's mind, 【Blay finally sent me a qualified candidate. 】

Bray?candidate?what happened?

Link didn't get an answer, but the inheritance was self-evident, and it automatically flipped to Isol's skill list.Before I figured out what was going on, [Fighting the Enemy] was removed from the skill list, and became an auxiliary skill obtained by combining three skills, and even the description changed.It no longer needs the cooperation of divine enlightenment, and can detect hostility and know the enemy's attack in advance. The specific time and method depend on one's own strength.

Gasos's [Invisibility] and [See Through Invisibility] are combined into one and become [Disappear], which means that while hiding his tracks, he can also detect other hiding people.The inheritance continued to flip, and on the blank page behind Kaogo appeared the image of the incarnation of Andrea representing water, and the two vacant spell slots appeared on this page as [God Solid] and [Magic Seal].

Except for the special skills that start with the word "God", this is the first time Link has encountered a skill that he didn't choose by himself but was given by the system.

The explanation of sealing the magic is that it can block the opponent's magic, which is quite practical.However, Link is more concerned about the special skill God-fix, with which the divine power can be fixed on the object to achieve the real enchanting effect.

In this way, I am now a craftsman?

Just as Link's mind was full of thoughts, time began to flow again.The sea water filled the bottle, and both the ocean and Andrea disappeared, and he returned to the correct time and space, separated by a circle of Edgar, and the sharp eyes of the great sage Bray were staring at the crystal bottle and the translucent liquid contained in it.

Link looked around, it was all white, and he couldn't tell the time at all. He could only ask Bray how long he had been there.

"There is no distinction between time and space above the ladder."

Well, when I didn't ask.He handed the crystal bottle to Bray, but the great sage didn't reach out to take it immediately.

"Do you know what this is?"

"Didn't you tell me the source of magic power?" Link didn't know what medicine to buy in the Bray gourd.Obviously he asked me to pick it up, and when I got it back, I asked this and that.

"Yes, this is what all mages dream of. The root of magic, the essence of elements, the purest energy in the world."

The purest energy...could it be divine power?

Link handed out the bottle again, and Bray narrowed his eyes, "Even if you know, you still want to give it to me?"

"As agreed, I will help you get the source of magic power, and you will give me Lena's relic."

Link has no interest in the so-called source of magic power. He doesn't know why Bray exaggerates these liquids. He has been soaked in the sea water near Andrea, and he doesn't feel any improvement.He just wanted to get Lena's relic and leave as soon as possible, to reveal the truth about Frost and Cold earlier, so that he could get away from Edgar earlier.

"You want to leave?" Bray still didn't reach for the bottle, "Do you know where this is?"

Link scratched his head, the sky... um... where God stays?Why can't I see other gods?

"The people who can come here have already reached the realm of transcendence and holiness, completely out of the material world..." Link interrupted Bray before finishing his sentence.

"I'm not interested in becoming a god. I can neither interfere in the material world nor be subject to the laws. I think it's good to be a human being." Originally, I wondered why Bray suddenly fell into the second class, remembering that Andrea also used resurrection of relatives to come To test himself, Link immediately realized that this might be another trial.

Bray smiled, "For thousands of years, you are the first child of nature to pass the test."

His words reminded Link of what Andrea also said, "Bray finally sent me a qualified candidate." '

Just as he was about to ask, Bray reached for the crystal bottle, raised his head and drank the liquid inside.Afterwards, obvious changes took place in his body, the flesh and bones dried up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then changed from dry bones to a pile of gravel.The crystal bottle fell on the pile of sand that Bray turned into, and shattered into countless tiny crystals.

Link was so frightened that he took a few steps back. No matter how courageous he was, he couldn't bear to witness the transformation of a living person from life to death in front of his eyes.

"Hey~ Where is Lena's relic as promised?"

There was a gust of wind blowing up the gravel, and Link instinctively blocked it with his hands. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still standing on the ladder, as if he had never been on the ladder.

Is it an illusion from start to finish?

Feeling something in his hand, looking down, it was a gray cloth bag that looked a bit old.

This is not mine……

Reaching out to touch it, the interspatial bag dropped by the necromancer was still hanging on his waist. Link suddenly realized that this was Lena's relic.

boom -

There was a sound of collapse in the air, and the two mages who had left teleported back. They looked up at the sky, their expressions changed from shock to joy.

"After hundreds of years, the great sage Bray finally took this last step." The blue-robed male mage who had spoken to Link clasped his hands in front of his chest.

The red-robed female mage was obviously not as kind as he was, she stared at Link and asked sharply, "What did you do?"

"Claire..." the male mage frowned, "Don't forget your identity, he is an envoy after all."

The female mage raised her head and replied in a tone full of contempt: "It's just a chosen one. If he can cross the rules, he won't stay here."

Link moved his mouth, but finally chose to remain silent.

He won't tell about the source of magic power. Bray said that it is something that all mages dream of. If they know, they might do something crazy.

"I can leave now."

The unknown male mage nodded. Although he also looked arrogant, he was much better than the rude female mage.

Seeing an opening in the barrier above his head, Link transformed into a peregrine falcon and took off.

"The body has become bigger." The male mage looked up at the stairs that no longer existed, and shook his head: "Impossible, no human being will give up the opportunity to become a saint and return to the mortal world."

"Maybe it was a gift from Bray..." Of course, the female mage named Claire also noticed that Link's avatar was bigger than when he came, and her eyes were always glued to the peregrine falcon that had turned into a small black spot body,

"Pay attention to your wording, that person has lost her human identity."

"That's why you're still a mortal, Bud." Claire's body turned into a ripple that spread like a ripple, and quickly disappeared.

The blue-robed mage kept looking up until Link completely left Hohenheim's range.

Quickly rushing back to guard the ancient tree, Link took out the cloth bag that he stuffed into the skirt of his clothes, reached in and took it out, there was nothing.He shook again, still nothing.

What's going on, this time the Noble Phantasm of Destiny doesn't have the Mojo of Destiny?

Hull appeared on the treetop platform with a gloomy expression, "If you don't come back, I will go to Hohenheim to ask for someone."

"Huh?" Although Birdman has a grumpy temper, he is surprisingly patient. He is so afraid of Bray that he would tell someone important to Hohenheim. Link scratched his head, "How long have I been away?"

"One month."

"Huh~~~" With a strange cry, Link ran to the tree house where he lived, and this sudden move caused the bewildered Hull to follow into the house.

"Quickly explain to me what you have been doing this month?"

"I beg you, let me sleep for a while, it's not too late to talk when I wake up." Link didn't care about the birdman standing aside, went to the hammock, and fell asleep.

The return shows that the time is 8 o'clock in the evening, and there are a lot of text messages in the phone, including Lin Li's, Su Wu's, and even Yuan Ye who seldom calls.

Lin Li was asking him why he didn't go home for dinner recently, and Su Wu was of course asking about the recent situation in the game. He could remember less and less.As for Yuan Ye, he talked a lot about his recent situation.The bard has been promoted to level 10, and Pan En has changed his job to become Dawn's revenge army, and is currently training hard in the Dennis Cathedral.

Paine changed jobs?And still upgrade in the Cathedral?

Regardless of his body aching from a long sleep, Link called Yuan Ye.
