Chapter 142 Fantasy Secret Realm
"What did you say?"
"That Toynes is still alive."
For both of them, Toines is a nightmare and a shadow, and this is more obvious in Purney.
Penny took a few deep breaths and suppressed the throbbing in her heart.
"You said he became a demon pet?"
"It's very possible."
"That's perfect. I'll kill him if I see him." Penny suddenly realized and her face changed again. "What you meant was that the curse's power grew because he was nearby last month?"
Ivan nodded solemnly.
The power of the curse of evil cannot increase for no reason. Toins was able to transmit the power of the curse to them through the air, whether intentionally or unintentionally. After all, the curse marks on their arms were the opponent's secondary marks.
"That damn bastard, how come he's so lucky?" Penny cursed angrily.
Although she said she had killed Toins, she was deeply afraid of him in her heart.
No matter what Toins has become now, he is a first-level wizard, and the two are just wizard apprentices. There is an essential difference in their strength levels.
At the beginning, the reason why Billel was able to match Toins was that he had borrowed other powers, and that kind of change was irreversible, but in the end Toins still escaped.
After hearing the news, Penny lost her appetite.
"What are you doing in Leah Singer's Sanctuary?" she asked curiously after a moment's silence.
"Picking something, the Water of Alva, have you heard of it?" Ivan replied.
"You want to go to that secret place at the bottom of the sea, you bastard, you actually went this far." That secret place was not far from the Leah Singer's Sanctuary. Of course, Penny had heard of it. The things produced there could be used to refine the Water of Alva.
People who go to that secret realm are usually at the limit of third-level apprentices, which means that Ivan has reached the last step of her apprenticeship, which makes her feel frustrated.
"But don't be complacent. I have a fourth-class talent, and you have a third-class talent." Thinking of another question, Perni felt relieved, but then she realized that it was not a good idea. "In short, you should think about it more and think it through before taking that step."
"Of course, I have always been a cautious person."
After hearing one or two people say this, Ivan could feel more deeply how difficult it was to become a wizard with poor talent, and it also strengthened his determination to become a wizard.
Not long after, the two left the restaurant and went back to their homes.
The next day.
Four ships from the four academies of the Flash Vortex Alliance, carrying four teams, sailed away from the port of Fengge City and headed towards the location of the secret realm.
Less than half an hour into the journey, the ship began to slow down.
On the boundless ocean, there stands a sharp corner abruptly. When the ship approaches, it is indeed a two-story round tower. There is nothing around the round tower except sea water.
"arrive."
The ship is approaching.
The top of the round tower is not even as tall as the ship, and it looks so small and helpless surrounded by ships.
Two wizards on duty walked out of the round tower and shouted to the people on the boat: "What are you all standing there for? Come down quickly." It's no wonder that he felt a little unhappy being stared down at.
"Wizard Burns, you are still so impatient."
At the wizard's call, everyone in the four teams, except those guarding the ship, gathered around the round tower.
The round tower looks small, but it is actually large enough to accommodate everyone.
Following the instructions of Wizard Bernardson, Ivan jumped off the boat and walked to the steps around him. The steps were soaked in sea water. When his feet stepped on them, the sea water automatically pushed away, revealing the wet rocky ground.
For a third-class apprentice, manipulating such a circle of sea water is no problem.
Wizard Pence said unhappily, "You've been stuck in a place like this for over half a year, and you don't have anything you want. It would be strange if you didn't get impatient."
"It's almost time. After a year, it's time to change to someone else."
The wizards on duty came from two different academies, one was from the Leah Singer's Sanctuary, and the other, Wizard Burns, was from the Torrent Twin Towers Academy, as could be seen from the logo on the wizard's robe.
Led by two wizards, the group came into the round tower and found a third floor below.
According to the location distribution, the third floor is located under the sea water. Going down along the stairs on one side, the walls of the third floor are seamless and have bronze wall lamps that emit orange-yellow light.
Fourth floor.
The fifth floor.
The sixth floor.
The tower becomes larger as you go down, and the lowest floor is the sixth floor, with no more steps leading downwards.
When he got down to the ground, Ivan couldn't help but shrink his neck. It was too cold here.
The cold air came from the cylinder in the center of the tower. The diameter of the cylinder was four or five meters. It was made of some kind of mixed metal. There were chain-like runes on the surface. No one knew what was wrapped inside.
"Wait here, don't walk around or look around."
Bernardson instructed the apprentice in the Mona Ant Farm Hut, and walked a few steps forward to the central column. He and three other wizards from different schools stood in their own positions, ready to cast secret spells. The four of them gestured to each other and pointed at a rune on the column in front of them.
Ivan was surprised to see that the runes actually moved along with their fingers. Isn't this a 'touch screen'?
As the four wizards moved the runes, they silently chanted secret spells, and the runes formed into a chain reaction, rotating on the surface of the cylinder like gears. After a few seconds, a triangle plate fell from the cylinder in each direction.
The triangle is about thirty centimeters high and only two centimeters thick, floating directly in front of the wizard.
A gap appeared where the triangle fell, revealing what was inside the cylinder, a column made of ice crystals.
Although there was no cold air coming out, people around could feel the chill coming from above, the kind of cold that chilled them to the bone.
"Get out of the way."
Wizard Bernardson grabbed the triangle and turned around, signaling others not to stand behind the outer wall.
After the apprentice made way, he stepped forward, held the triangle and pushed it gently. The triangle floated and stuck to a certain position on the outer wall, where there was also a rune pattern.
The walls began to shrink in all directions, forming a window that was two meters long and wide. Outside the window was the deep sea water, which was blocked outside by a protective film.
At this time, the triangle plate is divided into multiple parts, splitting into a larger one in the middle and several smaller ones around it, still in the shape of a triangle.
"Take them all."
As Bernardson waved his hands, the larger triangle in the middle fell into his own hands, and the other small triangles were sent to the apprentice.
Like everyone else, Ivan took a half-palm-long triangle in his hand. There was a number '29' on it, but he didn't know what it corresponded to.
"Make sure you don't lose it, or you'll have to be prepared to swim back from the ocean."
"I will teach each of you how to pick the water-scalded bubble fruit. As usual, it needs to be kept strictly confidential. Finally, I will warn you that fighting is not prohibited in the academy, but do not cause death. I will be watching you here."
Hearing what Wizard Bernardson said, Ivan and the others nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, they signed a confidentiality agreement and obtained all the information about the Water-Boiled Bubble Fruit and some information about the secret realm.
After learning about the secret realm, Ivan's eyes showed surprise.
The secret realm is not in this place, but somewhere under the ocean. The way to enter the secret realm is also somewhat incredible.
"Who comes first?"
"Wizard Bernardson, let me try."
Under the gaze of others, Wayne took a few steps up and walked under the window.
Bernardson said let him do whatever he wants.
Wayne stared at the protective film that blocked the seawater for dozens of seconds, but couldn't see anything special.
"Haha, everyone. I'll go first." He held the triangular block that had just been distributed in his hand, activated it, and jumped directly. He crashed into the protective film where the window was and disappeared into it.
At that moment, many people saw clearly that the sea water outside the protective membrane was real.
Once there is a first, there will be a second. Following Wayne, the apprentices came forward one after another and entered the secret realm through the window.
It was Ivan's turn. He pushed off the ground and jumped up, passing through the protective membrane and coming to the outside of the round tower. As soon as he showed his head, he was grabbed by a strong pulling force, which pulled him out faster. A protective force turned into a bubble around his body.
After he completely came out of the window, the bubbles were completely separated from the protective film.
Wrapped in the bubble-like protective film, he actually couldn't touch the sea water outside.
"I don't know how our wizard ancestors came up with the idea of using ocean currents as a means of transportation." Ivan adjusted his body and sat down, letting the bubbles carry him forward.
In fact, what is moving is not the bubble that looks like a protective film, but the columnar ocean current outside the bubble.
It's a pity that he couldn't see the scenery outside, and he was not a bard, otherwise he would have been inspired to recite a poem.
A few minutes later, the bubble passed through a thick flowing protective film, the sky became bright, and an open field came into view. The most conspicuous thing on the field was the erected spires, there were hundreds of them.
The place where the bubble brought him to was high in the sky, in an ocean current column that spread downward from the sky. He rode the winding ocean current column downward and finally approached a spire below.
Ivan could see clearly that the ocean current column he was riding on was connected to the top of the spire, and the diameter of the column formed by the ocean current became smaller as he went down.
"It's time to go down."
When he was less than ten meters from the ground, he activated another node on the triangle block. The bubble vibrated violently and threw him out of the ocean current column.
He fell from the air and stepped lightly on the land.
The ground was covered with crystal-colored grass, soft and tough, just above his knees. Looking around, this "water-burned grass" covered almost every inch of the ground around him.
This is the space within the secret realm.
The secret realm is a place opened up by the academy to cultivate unique resources. For example, this secret realm located in the ocean can cultivate a fruit called "Water Burning Bubble Fruit" through the special environment by planting water burning grass.
Water bubble fruit can be used as raw material for refining Alva water.
The recipe of Alva Water is top secret and there is no way to find out. So far, he only knows that the main ingredient of Alva Water is Water-boiled Bubble Fruit, and he knows nothing else.
Since it was about the wizard's promotion, he was not arrogant enough to try to derive the formula by himself. This was unrealistic as he only had one chance to be promoted.
