Lord of the Mysteries

Port of Pulitzer, a warehouse under reconstruction.

Frost met his teacher Dorian Gray Abraham again after a few days.

"Are you ready?" Dorian asked in a deep voice.

During the previous meeting, he had told Firth the ceremonial requirements of "Apprentice" Path Sequence 4 "Mystic Mage", and let her prepare in advance.

"It's almost ... it should meet the requirements ..." Furth replied not too confidently.

The promotion ritual of "Mage Master" is relatively simple, but this "simple" is the antonym of "complex" rather than the other side of "difficult". For Firth, she hopes to change to something else.

——The ritual requires the ascended person to seal a demigod-level, clearly hostile creature. The less the external force is used, the better the ritual effect is. As for the personality of the target, as long as it is not less than the demigod, it will not be in Essentially affects ritual.

Upon hearing the students' answers, Dorian nodded softly:

"Almost on the line, that ritual is really too difficult for the extraordinary 5 people who rely solely on themselves. Proper help seeking is essential, but it must be grasped to a certain degree, otherwise the ritual Definitely fail. "

His previous advice to Firth was to borrow only a "1" seal, and it would be better not to ask even a saint-level helper.

Firth said vaguely:

"I only intend to make a wish to Mr. Fool, to increase the success rate after taking the potion. This is closer to getting good luck while taking the potion than to seal the demigod. Be blessed.

"Besides this, it is the painting you mentioned, teacher."

That painting was not a "0" seal "God's scroll", but a "1" seal belonging to the Abraham family, called "Devil's Oil Painting".

In the Quaternary, in the years when many members of the Abraham family were promoted in Sequence 4 "Secret Master", they created the "oil painting" to seal the corresponding demi-level creatures.

However, after the Aurora attack and the loss of a lot of information, Dorian Gray didn't know exactly how many horrible creatures were sealed in the "Devil's Oil Painting". There must be more than one.

His original intention was to release from the "Devil's Oil Paintings" a creature that was completely insane and acted entirely by instinct, as a ritual target for the students. This is much easier than dealing with the wise and intelligent saint , And fully meet the requirements of the ceremony, but he did not expect that Firth was going to directly borrow "devil oil painting".

Dorian reminded, frowning slightly:

"'Devil's oil painting' itself is only about the effect of the seal and seal, and does not have the ability to actively affect the target. In other words, you have to insert demigod creatures into 'Devil's oil painting'."

Furth nodded, indicating that he knew this:

"Teacher, you said that your ability to 'record' is not external help."

"Yes." Dorian Gray gave a very certain answer.

If the ability to "record" itself is considered external help, then almost no "traveler" can be promoted. After all, "record" is the most core ability of the "apprentice" before the demigod. Alth has almost nothing to do with running around, it's hard to do anything to the enemy.

"Theoretically this is so, but you can record up to four or five kinds of demigod abilities ..." Dorian said not too reassuringly.

The words didn't end, he thought of the "Fool" and his dependents, and was a little calmer in his heart.

"If it is well matched, it is not impossible to succeed, it is just a crazy creature with instincts." Furth was persuading both the teacher and himself.

Dorian nodded invisibly and didn't say much. He summoned his contract creatures, Malmoth, who loved music, took back the "Mage Master" main materials and auxiliary materials, and allocated a bottle to the students on the spot. "Mystic Mage" potion.

"If you can't complete the seal, you don't have to take it forcibly. Even if the potion and the glass bottle are combined into a seal, you can restore it to extraordinary characteristics by asking Mr. Fool." Dorian is still a little bit indifferent. He reassured himself, and passed the potion to Firth.

Inside that glass bottle, there are layers of starlight rippling, as if the Milky Way at high altitude was put into the potion.

"Well." Foer thought heavily, saying he would never worry about wasting potions.

She had already made a plan in advance, that is, once the released demi-level creatures could not be sealed, she immediately "transported" and left, and made a wish to Mr. "Fool" and asked him to solve it.

Dorian immediately took out an oil painting from the trunk in his hand, which depicts one after another quite abstract and incomprehensible patterns. Just looking at them for a while, they can make people dizzy, nauseous and weak. .

This is the "Devil's Oil Painting" that seals the unknown terror creatures.

"If you can be promoted successfully, I have only one request." Dorian solemnly said to Firth, holding "the oil painting of the devil", "that's the night of the full moon, listen to what Mr. Gate is saying, Ask him why he did that. "

The members of the Abraham family have not been able to fully accept the curse they suffered from the ancestors of the family. They feel that Mr. "Door" may not know the consequences of his "pray for help".

They long for the truth of the whole thing.

"Okay." Faced with the teacher's plea, Firth agreed without hesitation.

Then she took the "Devil's Oil Painting", "transported" out of Port Pulitzer, and came to the vast desert without human habitation.

In this way, even if there is an accident in the ceremony, she has enough time to resolve it, and it will not affect ordinary people.

After examining the surrounding scenes and his own preparation, Firth inserted the "Devil's Oil Painting" into the ground.

Immediately, she shook her hands and bowed her head to pray to Mr. Fool. After giving the potion, she promised to increase her success rate.

Almost at intervals, she saw an unreal gray mist, knowing that Mr. Fool had responded.

After a few seconds of delay, Firth finally defeated himself, took out the pre-mixed herbal powder, and sprinkled them on the "devil oil painting".

Then she read the mantra of the seal in giant language.

This is a spell that only releases one creature at a time.

Silently and silently, all the fluttering herbal powders fell on the oil painting, and with a point as the center, it quickly spun up.

During the rotation, the surface of the oil painting becomes unreal, as if there is also a deep vortex being produced.

Suddenly, a turquoise black hand with many signs of decay was found in the "vortex".

It reaches out from the oil painting!

Firth's body suddenly became cold, as if falling into the frozen lake.

This cleared her mind and seemed to lose her sense of body. Even if she tried hard to move her hands and feet, she could not succeed.

At this moment, Foers seemed to be back to the state of writing books at night and sleeping during the day. At that time, she often felt that she had woke up but couldn't move, and seemed to be crushed by invisible creatures.

Although the horror creature in the "Devil's Oil Painting" has not completely escaped from the trap, just because of the divine influence on the outside world, Firth lost most of his resistance. When it completely broke away from the oil painting, Firth would even lose Look at it and get out of control.

The gap between the two sides is, to some extent, unimaginably large.

Gradually, Firth's consciousness was also a little blurred, always feeling that she was awake, raising her arms and spreading her feet, but between the moments, she realized that it was only her own fantasy, and the more her body became As it got colder and colder, the feeling of being pressed by invisible creatures became more and more obvious.

Fortunately, she had a bunch of demigods to provide her with information, so that she closed her eyes in time and did not go to see the "Devil's Oil Painting", otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Using meditation techniques and keeping a certain soberness, Firth started the countdown in his heart.

——According to the hint given by Mr. World, she knew that it would take five seconds for the horror creature to completely escape from the Demon Oil Painting.

4 ... 3 ... 2 ... When the time was a second away, a illusive book appeared in Fols's eyes, and it quickly turned and fixed on one of the pages.

1! As soon as Furth finished counting, he opened his arms sharply.

Around her, blossoms of peach blossoms fell instantly and colorfully.

The turquoise palm that was about to grab her neck fled away from her, blocked by a lush forest of flowers and peach trees, and cut off by a mountain peak at the end of the water in the forest. Out.

This is the fairy tale magic that Firth "recorded" from the "hermit", called:

"The source of peach blossoms!"

It can create an enchantment that is isolated from the outside world and difficult to communicate with.

Seizing this opportunity, Firth, who barely recovered control of the body, took out a "Queen" from a Russell chess from the dark bag, threw it to the source of the peach blossom, and to the through Flowing cave.

This is another fairy tale magic she "records", called:

"The chess game of years!"

Its purpose is to make the target move slowly, as if entering a region with a different time flow rate.

Papa, with the fall of "Queen" chess, the black and black palm that was trying to break through the "Peach Blossom Source" barrier, from the outside into a wriggling.

Fouls didn't even see the effect. With "invisible hands", he picked up the "devil oil painting" inserted in the sand pile and blocked it to the cave.

That is, after an interval of one or two seconds, the turquoise palm returned to normal, the movement became extremely fast, and it rushed out of the peach blossom source and hit the oil painting.

While the oil painting was shaking, the terrifying creature penetrated the surface and fell in.

Foers felt a joy in his heart, and hesitated again without hesitation, closing the outer seal of the "Devil's Oil Painting".

Fortunately, the demigod had just been locked out of control, leaving only madness and no wisdom ... I do n’t know if he will take the potion directly after he takes the potion ... The spirit of Furth remains Tightly took out the bottle of "Mystic Mage" potion and poured it into his mouth.
