Chapter 543: Seeking the Blackbeard World Again
"The message was wrong. No trace of the spirit was found."
Hathi directly stated the result of this trip.
A few months ago, Fiorchi brought a group of people from the Vinton family to China Continent. In order to find the spirit body that was transformed from the power left by the King of Blue Thunder, they ran around searching, but they came up empty-handed again and again.
This time, they felt they had a good chance of success, so they specially asked President Hati for help, but still got nothing.
Fiorchi was very discouraged that her greatest hope was dashed.
There is actually another internal factor that contributes to the low efficiency, which is that wizards have not done much research on spirits and lack certain key means.
"We'll do whatever you say and wait for your instructions," Philomena said immediately.
"This is what this wizard wants to say." Ivan agreed.
It's not that the two of them were too lazy to think, but they were ordered to do so by their superiors. They were asked to ask the great sage Hati for advice. In that case, why should they rack their brains themselves?
Seeing the two of them looking so lazy, President Hati laughed and pointed at them, especially at Ivan.
"The one who knows the spirit best is naturally the spirit itself. Wizard Ivan, are you sure that your clone is still alive?" He knew that the matter was of great importance, so he did not care too much and asked solemnly.
"Alive and well." Ivan nodded seriously.
After he became an arcane wizard, his horizons broadened, he gained more insights into the book 'Mirror Image of the Ghost', and also gained a deeper understanding of the 'Trinity' secret method.
Through some kind of connection between the original body and the secret clone, he can confirm that Locke is still alive, but he is not sure whether it is good or bad.
"Okay, then let's go into that small world again. You should be able to find it, right?" Hatti made a decision immediately.
"Of course." Ivan was also unambiguous.
Four arcane wizards joined forces to attack, and the lineup was stronger than last time. He didn't believe that he couldn't do anything to the dragon-shaped black worm. At the very least, he could definitely rescue Locke.
There is no doubt that this is much better than going to rescue alone.
This time, Fiorchi had no objection and took the initiative to take on a lot of things.
Time flies, and soon it’s ten days later.
In a valley in the mountains a long distance away from Dongdu, after the arrangements made by Ivan and his three companions, the entire valley has become a cage with a tight net laid out everywhere.
There is an altar in the middle of the valley, which is now covered with dense runes.
If there is an enchanter with great attainments here, he will surely be able to tell that this is an array specially used to pry open other planes, and its nature has many similarities with the Star Gate.
"start!"
Although Ivan made a lot of efforts in arranging the valley, at the critical moment, President Hati stepped forward and began to preside over the activation and operation of the array, while Ivan assisted from the side.
After the formation was activated, a black light burst out from it, shooting up into the sky, but strangely stopped halfway.
In fact, the power of the formation has already broken into the void.
Click click click.
The piercing sound continued to be heard, as if something was being pulled and broken, until an even louder rumble drowned out the other strange noises.
There was a dark, empty hole on the formation platform, and the aura coming out of it was frightening.
"It's done."
Compared to the space portal sacrificed by Lord Blackbeard, the void hole in front of him was obviously much deeper and a little unstable, but it was a real space channel.
"This wizard will go ahead."
At this moment, Ivan took the lead.
Without saying anything extra, he summoned a strange-looking beast and used it as a vanguard, and followed it into the newly opened void. It was not difficult to see that this beast was of the same lineage as Lord Blackbeard. It was actually a puppet creature cultivated by Ivan using the beast eggs seized from the bottom of the Black God Abyss. It was originally a clone prepared by Lord Blackbeard for himself.
After several twists and turns, it finally broke out of the shell.
Unfortunately, the beast eggs were severely damaged in the battle at that time, and their potential has dropped greatly. Now they are not very powerful. Due to their special nature, Ivan uses them as a pawn.
Fiorchi hurriedly followed, followed by Hatty, and only Philomena remained there, taking the place vacated by Hatty.
After a short, narrow and crowded journey, the sky suddenly brightened in Ivan's sight. He saw Hengling in the distance and the bloody battle flag on it.
Once again, he came to this small world, but this time he was not dragged here by anyone.
"Boss, boss, you are finally here. Here, I am here!"
Under the bloody battle flag sat an extremely bored figure. He noticed the movement on the other side and blinked his eyes repeatedly. After making sure that he was not mistaken, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
After waiting for such a long time, his own wizard finally came to save him. He knew that the other party would definitely come, but it took too long.
This person is none other than Locke, and he looks quite lively.
"Hey, long time no see."
No matter how deep the feeling is, it is better to see it with your own eyes. Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not far behind him, Fiorchi and Hatti appeared one after another. They stared at the bloody battle flag with solemn eyes, and were not infected by the joy of reunion.
The situation is certainly not as simple as it seems at first glance.
There is actually something like a black rope behind Locke's body, one end of which has been inserted into his body. Locke seems to be unaware of this situation, which means that what he says now may not be what he wants to say.
"Ivan, you make a charter."
Hatti turned his head and said that he believed Ivan knew what he was doing.
"I'm going to go meet that thing, you guys hold the line for me."
Ivan directly stated that the bloody battle flag had not rioted so far, and the hot scarlet mark on his arm all indicated that the situation was special. Perhaps the other party was waiting for him to come over.
Then let’s go for a walk.
"Are you sure?" Hathi frowned slightly.
"Sure." Ivan nodded heavily.
After Hati confirmed again and again that he was not mentally confused, he no longer refused his arrangement.
After the three of them made their decision, they quickly walked towards the horizontal mountain range at the back of the small world. The closer they got to the mountain range, the more they could feel its unique and extremely thick aura.
As if sensing their arrival, the blood-red battle flag began to flutter faster and faster, making a rustling sound.
Ivan signaled to the two of them, and Hatti and Fiorchi stopped moving forward, but he continued to run quickly towards the mountains.
"Boss, you're finally here. You don't know, it's so boring here, there's no one around, I can only find fun things to pass the time, one day goes by, two days go by—"
As Ivan got closer, Locke became more and more excited and began to talk about his past, which was really hard to describe in words.
Ivan listened carefully but did not say anything to interrupt his chattering.
"Don't get close!"
"Boss, hurry up, there's a trap here, this old bug is not a good guy, don't bother with me--"
Suddenly, Locke's expression changed drastically, and he began yelling at Ivan to leave. Anyone could see his anxiety from his look.
Ivan did not slow down, his feet had already stepped on the horizontal ridge, and he walked upwards unwaveringly. (End of this chapter)
