Tifeng Empire, southwestern border.

The winter rain mixed with the fine snowflake kept going, and in the dim light of the evening, a curtain of chaos was splashed. The rain, the gloomy sky and the fog in the mountains were intertwined, making the whole world look blurry. Pick it up.

In this vague world, the poor border mountain villages fell into the darkness early, and the mountain people who had no money to buy lamp oil could only hide in the darkness of the house in this bad weather, relying on the little furnace. The fire warmed, and the old black spire standing on the top of the mountain was slightly horrified.

The windows at the top of the black spire are emitting a strange dark red glow, and the unknown dark clouds are over the spire. The chaotic rain is like being summoned by those lights, making the whole world dark and damp. .

The crazy old magician is doing the terrible things again - the superstitious mountain people uneasily close the window, whispering the gods of their faith in their homes, and expecting the curse of the Dark Sorcerer not to come. On yourself.

At the top of the Magic Tower, Mary and several other apprentices did not know what the superstitious and ignorant villagers in the mountain village were thinking, even if they knew that they had no interest in it.

The apprentices were nervously arranging the lab, placing the various magical materials in the right place, as directed by the instructor, a large brazier burning in the center of the stone-built room, with a red flame of unusual color in the brazier The flame is like blood shaking in the air.

The old magician stood in the middle of a magical array beside the brazier, while injecting magic into the magical array while staring at the movements of every apprentice with that gloomy eye. He did not wear the black robe, the artificial nerves from his spine. The position spread and slowly squirmed behind him, like a snake.

An apprentice accidentally shook his hand when he sprinkled amethyst dust into the brazier. The sparks that smashed in the air swayed in the air. The apprentice immediately looked at his mentor in horror, but the old magic The teacher just glanced at him with a bad look: "Be careful! You waste this!"

The apprentice was relieved to breathe a sigh of relief and quickly proceeded with the task of being more cautious.

Mary used a special tool to pour the liquid mixed with ore powder, Warcraft blood, and magic grass juice into the rune groove on the floor, and sneaked a look at her mentor.

Since the last "connection", the status of the old Master Daniel has become more and more wrong.

Although he always behave crazy in the past, he will punish the apprentice for no reason, and will do all sorts of creepy experiments, but the old Master’s mismatch this time is different from the previous ones - he is like Under the horror of being frightened and under pressure from the huge but unspeakable, the whole person was extraordinarily nervous. He drove the apprentices to sleeplessly and set up countless spiritual defenses in the magic tower. Innumerable new runes, he has to meditate for a long time to fall asleep, and more than once in the nightmare to wake up...

Other apprentices are unknown, but Mary suspects that this series of abnormal performances is related to the "connection" that the instructor made last time.

The instructor said that he had made a pen trade with a terrible existence... so all this is caused by the transaction? Is that "terrible existence" that frightened this powerful magician to this extent?

What a terrible monster it should be...

Mary did not dare to ask the details of the instructor. She could only do her work with her head down and prayed not to make mistakes in the process, not to be punished by the old Master, and she knew that other people might think so.

Finally, all the magic runes were set, the ceremonial braziers and implements were in the correct position and state. The old magician glanced at the situation in the lab and waved his hand: "Turn it all!" ”

Apprentices, such as Meng Da, quickly left the laboratory one by one.

"Mary! You stay!" The old Master's voice was heard from behind.

The young lower-level female mage body shook involuntarily, but she did not dare to disobey the mentor's orders, but she could only try to calm her heartbeat, then slowly turned her head and went to the old Master.

"You, reach out!"

Mary obeyed the command almost numbly, raised her left hand and handed it over, then she watched the old wizard grab her arm and sneaked on her arm with a dagger.

At this moment, she almost had to pull her hand back, but in the end she managed to stop this action that might bring terrible punishment.

After the sharp pain, the female mage's blood flowed out of the wound and floated in the air in a strange way.

Daniel used the blood-stained dagger to outline several runes in the air. The blood from Mary was dragged to the brazier in the center of the room and quickly swallowed by the flames inside.

"Good... well..." the old mage whispered nervously. "The blood of the sacrificer is mixed into the ritual process. This should be able to transfer the extraterrestrial rogue to the sacrificer... plus these Misleading, defensive runes, I am safe, I am safe..."

Mary hadn't had time to listen to the old Master's meaning, and she was pushed by the latter in the back: "Go, stand in the middle of the circle, fast!"

Mary took a look at the squad, judged from the mysterious knowledge he had mastered, and then reminisced about what he had before his mentor, and finally realized what this terrible old mage wanted to do -

The old man wants to deceive the terrible existence of trading with him. He wants to treat himself as a sacrifice and be a scapegoat!

But she has no time to resist, she has stepped into the magic circle, a powerful force to hold her firmly in place!

And even if she was not sucked by the magical array, she knew that the results would not change, she did not dare, and could not resist...

Daniel looked at the dark red runes one by one, and the most silent female apprentice on weekdays stood in the circle of law, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

The time he agreed with the extraterrestrial rogues is coming soon, but he has to make the last struggle - he has placed dozens of layers of protective arrays in this mage tower, setting a lot on himself. Protection spells, so much protection, may be enough to withstand the advent of the rogue outside the field...

And he also used Mary as a misguided medium to push into the law, which is also a layer of insurance.

What if the extraterrestrial rogue found this "fake"?

Then push all the faults to this female apprentice, it is said that she broke into the legal circle at the crucial moment of the ceremony, only to cause trouble to the great extraterrestrial rogue...

Daniel felt that his mind was swelling and his mind was slowly confusing. He looked at the female apprentice in the squad, suddenly had some doubts, wondering when the other party became his apprentice, wondering why he was standing here, wondering. Why do you want to hurt an innocent child?

In his mind, he suddenly jumped out of a few messy and broken pictures. He saw a younger one standing in a run-down mage tower and saw a little girl who was only about ten years old running into her face and looking at it. Go to prepare food for the little girl...

Daniel snorted and immediately rushed to save Mary, but just as he took action, his mind fell into chaos again.

The dead end of the spell research, the magical power of the eternal sleeper, the truth and the joy of success...

He looked at Mary wickedly, waiting for the moment when the protection measures he set up blocked the extraterrestrial rogue.

Then, before his eyes swayed, a boundless world of clear skies and boundless water quickly spread around him, numerous huge metal platforms floated to the surface, and the extraterrestrial rogue stood with a smile. In front of him.

The protective measures he set did not have any effect - as misleading Mary did not come in handy.

"Lord... my Lord..."

The old Master’s always confused thoughts finally woke up in this virtual world. He instantly realized how stupid his actions were and tried to remedy them.

However, Gao Wen did not care about the attitude of the old Master, and did not even realize what protection the other party had done before.

Because he didn't connect the old mage by "invasion", he left an open port in the other's mind when he kicked the other party out of the network, and dug a corresponding back door on the network...

This is also one of the results of his research on the mind network technology of the sleeper.

He believes that those who have always focused on improving their personal strength and still only know how to protect their minds with traditional mind-protection spells will definitely not find this new operation based on network architecture...

The old Master looked at the "outside rogue" in front of him a little unexpectedly, and there was a doubt in his heart - why is this inhuman presence not angry? Isn't it a kind of offense and betrayal to him for his own protection and misinformation?

Gao Wen finally noticed the eccentricity of the old mage and asked casually: "Why are you nervous?"

The old Master stunned and quickly lowered his head: "I... No, I just feel a little bit scared because I was summoned again by you."

He suddenly understood and understood why the extraterrestrial rogues in front of him would ignore their "small moves."

Because this powerful existence does not feel the little resistance of myself...

The dozens of layers of spiritual protection barriers in the Master Tali, the numerous protection runes on his own body, the deceased Mary, the deliberately arranged ceremonial scene, add up the obstacles that have not yet reached the level that can be perceived by the “outside rogue”. degree……

"Don't be nervous, let's sit down and talk slowly." Gao Wen waved his hand with a gentle smile and made tea tables, chairs, tea snacks, etc., and instructed Daniel to sit down.

Daniel sat down cautiously, because he was guilty, he didn't even look at Gao Wen.

He heard the indifferent voice coming from the opposite side: "I have some things for you to do."

"You just tell me..."

Gao Wen smiled and showed a bunch of books and drawings: "Don't worry, do two big questions first."
