Chapter 128 The mastermind behind the scenes
Chapter 128 The mastermind behind the scenes
"Supreme Great Dark Devil, you-you have arrived."
Seeing the figure in the black robe, Melinda and Alan subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground, but they suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts, which made them hesitate.
Logically speaking, they haven't started to summon the Great Black Demon to come, so they are not in the same space.
"Advent? No, no, no, kids, you are wrong. I have always been here. This is my home. I have not gone anywhere." The man in black robe shook his head and said slowly.
"Impossible!" Melinda was the first one who didn't believe it. She believed that she couldn't have made a wrong judgment.
"Look at my damn memory. I forgot that you had already forgotten." The man in black robe patted his head and continued, "Let me talk to you. Where should I start? At the beginning, Miss Melinda accidentally obtained a medium-sized magic stone. She was very happy at that time. Then, under my guidance, you came here-"
"Quiet! Just listen to me first." Seeing that Alan wanted to argue, the man in black robe didn't give him a chance.
"Then you found a large number of medium-level magic stones. There was a quarrel among the five of you, and only three of you survived. However, you all suffered serious injuries."
"I'm here to heal you and help you increase your strength, but I've done some manipulations in the process to slightly adjust your memories."
At this moment, a gentle black wind blew by, and the two of them recalled many scenes in an instant. It was those forgotten memories that were the reasons why they felt something was wrong but could not find out.
After the internal strife, their own strength was almost exhausted and they were severely injured. As a result, they were taken advantage of by the monster in front of them. From then on, their memories were obscured and they fell into the trap.
The expressions of the two men changed.
The energy particles vibrated, and the two men attacked at the same time. The spell fell on the man in black robe, turning his body into particles and dissipating in the wind.
"Hahaha, kids, enjoy your last moments."
Although the man in black robe disappeared, his voice was clearly heard by the two men.
"Ahhh——damn beast, I'm going to fight you."
"You ugly monster, you will die a miserable death. Die now."
They thought they could become official wizards in one step, but they never expected that there was something wrong with their memory. The gap between the two was unbearable and they attacked the barrier in front of them like crazy.
The barrier was strong and hard to break, and the two men's actions were in vain.
In the middle of the four cages, the man in black robes was standing on a small platform. He had a smug grin on his face: "Be afraid, be afraid! I like souls that fall in fear. They will be a delicious feast."
A shadow emerged from his body, passed through the barrier and fell into another cage.
"Hello, wizard apprentices from the Mona Ant Farm hut. Welcome to my place."
Ivan III was sitting in meditation, when without any warning, a voice was heard, and along with the voice, there was an extra person in the cage, or rather, some kind of intelligent creature.
The three men jumped up and stared at the man in black robe warily.
After seeing the other person's face clearly, a hint of shock flashed in Ivan's eyes.
There is a pair of palm-long sharp horns on his head, his face is similar to that of a human but with animal eyes and fangs, and he is wearing a black robe of a priest. This is exactly the illusion that occurred when he took the magic stone water and magic crystal water, the figure that repeatedly harassed him around in the illusion.
Now, the creature in the illusion is standing before my eyes. What is going on?
"This is the Kanda Magic Stone Mine, which belongs to the Mona Ant Land Hut. Your words are too biased." Heidi said in an unhappy tone. "What a Mona Ant Land Hut, click, click." Her words seemed to touch the other party's pain, and the black-robed man's face and smile changed. "Wait, after I merge your power, I will sneak into the Mona Ant Land Academy as you."
"It seems that you are of the most noble status. Well, I will use your body reluctantly, and then go back and tell them that I have taken care of everything except a few troubles. Everyone else has sacrificed their lives. Isn't it perfect? Anyway, wizards never care about the lives of the weak."
"You are dreaming." Heidi's face turned pale.
"When I have accumulated enough strength, I will find an opportunity to destroy the Mona Ant Farm Hut. With your identity, click, click, click. By then, everything the Mona Ant Farm Hut has will be turned into dust." The man in black robe spoke to himself, his eyes full of resentment, and this resentment should be directed at the academy.
When he was excited, a trace of resentment and death emanated from his body, as well as the same special smell as the magic stone ore.
Heidi threw an ice cone over, dispersing the excited black-robed man and disappearing from the sight of the three people.
"Sacrifices, enjoy your last moment of peace."
The voice of the man in black robe echoed in the cage, and the three of them were silent for a while.
"I believe you have all seen it. Tell me what kind of monster this is?" Ivan broke the silence. He had only been in school for a short time and had not had time to understand many things.
Cook hesitated and said that it looked familiar, then shook his head. He obviously didn't know what kind of creature it was.
"Have you met each other before?" Heidi looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Hearing her words, the two looked at her suspiciously.
"Heidi, you haven't used the magic stone water before, right?" Ivan thought of a possibility.
"Magic Stone Water is just one of the low-level mental potions with average quality. I used other potions when I was a first-class apprentice." Heidi said truthfully, but she didn't know what the connection was.
Knowing this, Ivan immediately told him about the illusion of the magic stone water.
"So, its birth is likely related to the magic stone mine, otherwise it would not regard this place as its own territory. Does anyone know how the magic stone mine was formed?"
"How could I know such secret information?" Cook said, looking at Heidi.
"I know a little bit. It is said that it is the transformation of some kind of creature after its death. The details are unknown." Heidi couldn't explain it either.
This is actually not important. What is important is that the other party's birth is related to the magic stone mine, and he carefully set up this trap to lure the two groups of people into the trap. Soon he will use all of them as nutrients to supply his own growth.
He might even sneak into the college using Heidi's identity and turn the Mona Ant Farm hut that he resented upside down.
It is obviously the mastermind behind everything. The mastermind has already appeared. The top priority is to find a way out, or at least pass the message back to the college.
Time passed by minute by minute, and they were helpless against the barriers around them. They had no other options but to worry.
"It's a pity that we didn't bring the original stone disk we found in the basement, otherwise we could have thought about it." Ivan sighed. He hasn't had time to comprehend it yet, and it's impossible for him to carry such a heavy thing with him.
"I brought it." Heidi took out a scroll from her pocket. When the scroll was unfolded, there was a circle of runes on it.
Ivan recognized that this was a rune bundle composed of the more precious 'trans-sealing runes'.
