Chapter 227
"It's not that it's really some kind of living creature, well... I don't know how to describe it," Yayin rubbed her brows, "In short, the level of this magic array is extremely high."
"Can you tell what it's probably used for?" Liu Ji asked.
For him, this kind of real thing is easier to understand.
"I'm not sure, but," Yayin said, pointing in one direction.
Liu Ji looked along and saw that it happened to be the location of the chapel where they were during the day.
"That's one of the magic array nodes," Yayin said. "If there are no accidents, the monster we encountered during the day is probably related to this magic array."
"That thing..." Liu Ji touched his chin, "Could it be that this is a summoning array?"
"It's not like that," Yayin shook her head and said, "From my understanding, this is more like some kind of magic circle to build a summoned beast..."
"Summoned beast, another summoned beast," Liu Ji murmured, "Is it possible that Snow is helping them complete some kind of summoned beast now?"
"It's not impossible," Yayin nodded, "The technology for making phaseless is newly pioneered by Snow. If there are any unfinished parts of this magic array, then Snow must be the last piece of the puzzle."
"Then, what he wants us to see is actually this magic circle composed of the entire city?" Liu Ji looked at the city below and muttered to himself, "No, that's not right... The backup he left should be for An Why did he leave this information to the heroes?"
Vaguely, Liu Ji always felt a familiar feeling, as if he could grasp the final information just by turning a small corner.
At this moment, Yayin spoke first.
"The decisive battle..." she said, raising her head sharply, "The Secret Sanctuary plans to fight a decisive battle with the tyrant here! Snow is trying to pass this information to the braves. The people in the Secret Sanctuary look down on the brave, but Snow Nuoping's personal relationship with Anvada is quite close. I didn't know that Anvada was a hero before and I didn't think about it. But if you take this factor into consideration, he probably wants to recruit the heroes to help... No, Not necessarily to help, at least, he hopes that the brave men will receive this news. If there is a chance to severely damage the tyrant, the brave men will probably help. "
"A decisive battle?" Liu Ji frowned slightly, "It's really not like their style."
"No, on the contrary," Yayin shook her head and said, "Over there in the world, the Mystic Sanctuary has fought countless decisive battles with tyrants in history. Of course, if it is a decisive battle, they themselves will not go to it. Their ability to escape can be said to be unparalleled in the world. If the means of tracking an ordinary person's escape is to decipher a cipher, then tracking the escape of a great mystic is equivalent to deciphering a ten-digit cipher. But if it is a group of great occultists, then Even the tyrant cannot trace their means of escape."
"So, when you come, you have to fight the traps they have set up, and you still can't catch them?" Liu Ji's brows twitched, "Why do you feel like they are treating the tyrant like a monkey?"
"Speaking of lightness, if they were caught by accident, none of them would survive," Ayin shook her head, "But... at least in the past, as you said, the tyrant's annihilation operations against the Mysterious Sanctuary Never succeeded."
"This...how do you feel? It sounds like ignoring them all the time and pushing the whole world so hard that they have no place to stand seems to be the right thing to do?" Liu Ji touched his chin and muttered.
"No, Snow told me before that if the tyrant keeps ignoring the people in the Arcane Sanctuary, they will take the initiative to attack the rear of the tyrant's troops after completing their arrangements. When a group of great arcana masters don't care about anything, "To be honest, even I can't imagine what it would be like to bombard the buildings indiscriminately," Yayin sighed, "Although many people criticize the Secret Sanctuary for its inaction, to be honest, even I can't imagine it." The results obtained on the battlefield against the tyrant, except for the brave men I don’t know much about, the results achieved by the Secret Sanctuary are indeed unparalleled by anyone in the entire world.”
"Hmm..." Liu Ji touched his chin, "In other words, if I want to follow Snow's idea, I should contact the hero now?"
"I... no, I'm not sure," Yayin shook her head. "Perhaps in your opinion, this signal is sent to Anvada as a brave man, but if you interpret it the other way around, this signal is sent to our companions. Anwada, this is more like a warning..."
"A war will break out here, a warning for everyone to leave as soon as possible?" Liu Ji suddenly understood.
"It's possible, it's both," Yayin said.
Liu Ji thought for a moment and said, "Then... let's take care of both."
"Both considerations?" Yayin asked, "In other words, we evacuate, and then you contact the heroes to come over?"
"No, don't contact them," Liu Ji shook his head, "Of course we will evacuate together, but as for those who stay here, I alone can suffice."
"Are you alone?" Yayin was stunned, "No, it's better to go together. Even you can't handle that kind of battlefield."
"That's not necessarily the case," Liu Ji said with a smile, "If I want to talk about the reason... I just said that I fell in love with that monster during the day."
250. Pulling out space counts as success.
At night, at the department store that was open all night, Ao Saluni and Guo Guo stood at the door with confused faces. Judging from their confused looks, they seemed to have not recovered from their sleep, and their faces were dull.
"So, it's the middle of midnight right now?" Jilunini rubbed her eyes, "Although I'm happy to see you, why is it now..."
"Because it's time to get ready to go," Yain said.
"Huh? So fast?" Osa was stunned, "Have you found Snow?"
"No, no, but I found some information," Yayin said. "In short, it may be dangerous to continue to stay here."
"Will there be danger here?" Jilunini was a little surprised, "No, it won't be, right? The tyrant shouldn't come here so quickly, right?"
"I'm just guessing about the details. However, if one of you sleeps on the counter every day, and the other of you goes to the bar as a security guard every day, there's no reason to stay here, right?" Ya Yin said.
"That's true," Osa sighed, "I've been really suffocated during this period. I feel like I'm going to get moldy. I'd rather go out hunting every day than hang out in a place like that and wait to die."
"I agree with that," Rooney also nodded.
"Hmm... So, what should I do about my teacher?" Guoguo scratched his head, "Have you found any information related to the Secret Sanctuary?"
"Maybe I have found it," Yayin touched her chin, "Hmm... But as for your master, according to our current guess, he may be voluntarily cooperating with the Mystic Sanctuary for the time being... …”
"Voluntary?" Guoguo was stunned, "No, how is this possible..."
"It's not impossible," Yayin said bluntly, "If you think about it carefully, when the Secret Sanctuary asked your teacher for help, did he never refuse?"
"But that's because those few times were..." Guoguo hurriedly explained, but halfway through the explanation, she suddenly realized something and opened her mouth, not knowing how to continue.
"I guess it was your teacher's old friend who came to find him those times," Yayin said calmly, "Since it was possible before, it can also be done now."
Guo Guo scratched her head, sighed, and did not refute.
At this moment, Liu Ji walked out with a cart of food, drink and supplies.
"These should be enough, right?" Liu Ji said, "Do you want to buy anything else?"
Several people looked at each other and finally shook their heads.
"Change the remaining money into pure metal, and then we can almost leave," Yain said.
"Well, let me think about it," Liu Ji rubbed his chin, "Well... how about you go back to Magina's place temporarily?"
"Us?" Guoguo was stunned for a moment, "What about you?"
"I have something to stay here," Liu Ji said, "Ah, and don't worry, I will help you pay attention to your master's affairs."
"Eh? But..." Guoguo hesitated a little and turned his doubtful eyes to Yayin.
"Well, that was our original plan," Yayin nodded calmly, "We can't get involved in this matter..."
Guo Guo looked left and right, and said tentatively: "No, which one, if it is to deal with Wang Qi, I can actually..."
"No, it's not Wang Qi," Liu Ji shook his head, "This time, it's probably the tyrant himself..."

Tick tock…
Tick tock…
Drops of bright red liquid dripped from the dropper and fell into the crystal cup below, causing waves of faint ripples.
Snow walked to the cup, picked up the half-filled crystal cup, put down an empty cup, turned around, and walked to the center of an open space.
Looking up, above his head, a vast starry sky was slowly rotating.
Picking up the crystal cup, Snow gently recited the incantation, and a wisp of red mist slowly floated out from the cup, slowly rippling toward the starry sky, and then blended into it bit by bit.
At this moment, a somewhat frivolous boy came from not far away.
"It looks like the progress is going well?"
Snow turned around and took a look, only to see a very handsome elf man leaning against the door, holding a dinner plate in his hand.
"Oh, Deidre, are you here to deliver food to me?" Snow walked to the table and put down the crystal cup in his hand, "Thank you for your hard work. In fact, you can let the boys under them do the errands." ”
"No, I came to see you by the way. They are all very busy and no one wants to pay attention to me," Deidre said, bringing the dinner plate to the table in front of Snow.
"Ha, am I not busy anymore?" Snow smiled helplessly and took off the cover on the dinner plate.
A burst of heat hit my face immediately. A bowl of thick soup, two pieces of ribs, a piece of bread, and some side dishes looked appetizing.
"Hey, today's food is so rich?" Snow was a little surprised, "I thought those old people only knew how to stew vegetables and meat."
"Ha, there may be nothing wrong with what you think. They are indeed eating vegetable and meat stew today," Deidel smiled, "I personally cooked this for you."
"Yo? Is this the legendary 'Dedel's Heart-stealing Cuisine'?" Snow raised an eyebrow, "Then I have to try it. I'm afraid there aren't many men in the world who have tasted this, right?"
"Don't do this, what nonsense," Deidre waved his hand, "There are all kinds of hidden things, just casual meals, and I don't know who is spreading these nonsense."
"Haha, there are a lot of people who spread this." Snow took a sip of the soup and let out a sigh of relief, "Well, not bad."
"As long as it's good, you drink slowly," Deidre said, sitting next to Snow, leaning on the table, and asked, "By the way, my disciple, do you have any news about her?"
"Hmm... If I remember correctly, she should be with Yayin now," Snow said, "You should know Yayin, that student of Old Rhine."
"Of course I know, she is the number one among the new generation," Deidre sighed. "Unfortunately, Old Rhine is still... Tsk, he should have listened to me and stayed away from all the inexplicable guys."
"Don't use hindsight. Didn't we see nothing at the beginning?" Snow shook his head, tore off a piece of bread and dipped it in the soup, "Being targeted by that type of guy is not something you can do just by saying a few words. Can change anything.”
"Hmm...well, that's right," Deidre scratched his hair, leaned back on the edge of the table, and looked up at the sky, "But they are together, maybe that time is coming..."
"What time?" Snow asked.
"Well... how should I put it," Deidre thought for a while and said, "You also know Anvada, right?"
"Of course," Snow nodded, "If it hadn't been for him, we might not have been able to escape from that siege..."
"Do you know him?" Deidre asked.
"What do you mean?" Snow chewed the bread.
"Do you know that he is actually a brave man?" Deidel asked.
"Sorry, I really don't know much about brave people," Snow said. "Of course, I still know that he and Wei Luo are actually brave people... However, as far as I know, it can't be done in the outside world. There are very few active heroes, right?”
"There used to be very few, until he appeared," Deidre said. "In fact, I don't know if he should be considered a brave man. In fact, someone told me about his story. He was once exiled to Two children of exiles in the southern desert..."
"The southern desert? You mean the scorched land in the extreme south of the world beyond the Bone Burial Desert?" Snow frowned, "Can people survive in that place?"
"It's not possible, but those two exiles seem to be equally strong men. They built a shelter in that barren land and gathered many exiles who had fled there," Deidre said, "Back then, the story of those two people would probably have been a legend. Unfortunately, thousands of years have passed and no one knows about it. After all, the only person who survived in that shelter was Anvada."
"Isn't that strange? It's been so many years. It's not easy for children to survive in that kind of place." Snow picked up the ribs and took a bite.
"No, they died when Anvada was a child," Deidre said. "Anvada told me this himself. He was the first person in the world to have his home taken away by a tyrant."
"What?" Snow was stunned, "A thousand years ago? But, the legendary tyrant a thousand years ago wasn't..."
"Yes, everyone thought that the tyrant suddenly appeared during the summoning ceremony of the country that was selected by the Mysterious Sanctuary to conduct the ceremony thousands of years ago," Deidel said, "but in fact, the place where he first appeared was actually in the southern desert. , and the people who know this matter, all the relevant information comes from Anwada. "
"In other words, the place where the tyrant first came was actually the legendary sanctuary?" Snow asked doubtfully, "He destroyed it? But, then why is Anvada still alive?"
"No one knows why he is still alive, not even himself," Deidre shook his head. "He said that in his memory, he was clearly burned to ashes by golden flames in the arms of his parents. , However, he survived, carrying a pair of short guns left by his parents, and walked out of the desert step by step on his own feet. At that time, he was only eight years old. "
"Eight years old, walked out of the desert alone?" Snow's mouth twitched crazily, "Are you sure this wasn't a drunken gossip?"
"If it were anyone else, of course I would be suspicious, but have you ever heard that brave men are immortal," Deidre said. "If it were not death, then even an eight-year-old child would be able to crawl out of the desert. Maybe not?"
"What the hell, in a place like that, without the aid of tools, you can spend your whole life spinning around in a slightly deviated direction," Snow said, "How can he be lucky...wait, luck..."
"Yes, luck." Deidel casually pulled out a stool and sat down. "In fact, you should have heard that the legendary warriors always have unparalleled luck, as if the whole world is standing behind them. She will help him everywhere. In fact, until now, although it may not be obvious because her strength has reached a certain level, Anvada still has this kind of luck..."
"Wait a minute, do I understand what you mean," Snow said, "Actually, the current brave man in the world is Anvada, but he is not from another world, but a native of this world. Man, the blessing of the brave is still upon him.”
"Yeah, that's what I mean," Deidre nodded.
"But even so, he is still helpless against the tyrant?" Snow asked.
"As you can see," Deidre shrugged, "In a sense, this also proves that the ritual of summoning a hero has its limits. Well, it may be because Anwada is not a complete hero after all... …”
"Because he is not from another world?" Snow asked doubtfully.
"No," Deidre shook his head, "It's because he has no heart..."
"Huh?" Snow stopped stirring the soup, "No heart? What do you mean?"
"Literally," said Deidre, "He has no heartbeat, and his blood doesn't flow. His body relies entirely on the flow of magic to replace the function of blood..."
"Is this possible?" Jon Snow tilted his head, "Damn it, is this possible?"
"Yes, this is possible, perhaps because heroes don't die," Deidre shrugged, "If it were someone else, they would have died long ago."
"This really opened my eyes," Jon Snow scratched his forehead, "But... what were we talking about at the beginning?"
"Don't worry, the next part is the key point," said Deidre, "After Anwada walked out of the desert, he was just like those heroes in history, relying on his luck to constantly practice and gradually become stronger, and then... one day, he fell into a valley, where he met a person."
"Who?" asked Jon Snow.
"I don't know," Daedel shook his head, "He refused to tell me, but since then, he has continuously freed heroes from the past. Moreover, he told me one thing, saying that one day I will meet a little girl from the Civet Cat Clan, who will be the child with the worst arcane talent but the highest formation talent I have ever met. He told me that I must accept her as my apprentice and give her everything I know as much as possible."
"You promised him? So you were willing to stay there for so long just to teach Guoguo?" Snow was a little surprised "Damn it, I thought you really wanted to leave a legacy for yourself, but it turned out to be some kind of deal?"
"No, it's not a deal, I just lost a bet," Dedell propped up his chin, "After all, I didn't believe that there was anyone in the world who couldn't even understand the spells, but could learn the formation. As a result, I met that girl, and then I knew what it meant to have a strange talent. But, haha, you know, teaching her to learn the formation is really interesting..."
"Really, then you ran away halfway?" Snow looked at him with contempt.
